Chapter 38 Black Dog
"There are rules in our village, foreign residents. Even if they marry a wife, they are not allowed to be buried in the back mountain without having a male child."
"It is for this reason that the pregnant woman was buried at the foot of the mountain."
"It's so pitiful. Until now, there are not two people who are visiting the grave."
Speaking of this, Aunt Li picked up the big bucket and was about to leave.
It's getting late and I'm going to cook.
"Aunt Li, I'll help you carry water."
Next second.
Ding Jie immediately walked forward and lifted the big wooden barrel, looking very relaxed.
"Xiao Ding. I didn't expect that you were so white and pure." Aunt Li was a little shocked.
This big wooden barrel has at least hundreds of kilograms of water.
He lifted it up with one hand, and he was really strong.
To be honest, Ding Jie didn't even see this hundred pounds of weight.
The power of ‘14 points’ is not something that can be covered.
Very strong.
It can have at least two thousand kilograms of explosive power.
In other words, one ton of damage.
"By the way, Aunt Li. Is the pregnant woman's grave still there?" Ding Jie asked while carrying the water.
"Yes. It's at the foot of the mountain. A tomb without tombstones and full of weeds is the pregnant woman. People in the village usually don't walk there, and they all say that it's not peaceful." Aunt Li said in a little puzzled manner: "Xiao Ding. What are you asking about this?"
"I'm just asking. I'm curious." Ding Jie smiled and didn't say in detail.
Waiting for Ding Jie to lift the water home, he found that the large tank that stored the water was not full, so he spontaneously carried the large wooden barrel and continued to fetch water by the well in the village.
Every time he fetches water, Ding Jie pays great attention to the movements in the well.
But Ding Jie was disappointed.
The well was very calm and there was no movement at all.
In the end, he had to give up searching.
There seems to be nothing hidden in the well.
After running away, he lie down and then filled the large tank with water.
"Xiao Ding. You should eat a melon to quench your thirst. In the past, our family had stored half of the water in the tank, because it was too hard. I never thought that you had filled the water in less than an hour, but you were tired. The melon had just passed it in the water, and it was just right to eat it." Aunt Li killed a big watermelon for Ding Jie with joy. Seeing Ding Jie stopping, she immediately handed it over and said with a smile: "Go to rest quickly. The melons are all grown at home, very sweet."
"Thank you Aunt Li." Ding Jie was not polite, but the watermelon began to eat.
"Aunt Li, these are all things I should do. If there is any heavy work in the future, just call me."
I was really not tired after running seven or eight times. But the weather was a little hot, which made him very hot.
After taking a bite of the melon, I felt comfortable all over my body.
To be honest, it is really unreasonable that he lives at other people's houses now, eating them and not doing some work for them.
"Ah! Watermelon! Aunt Li... You give Xiao Ding a small cooking. If you eat watermelon, you won't ask us."
At this time, Ye Xiaoman and Gao Le happened to come in from outside. They went to clean up the mud and stones, and came back while they had time.
The two of them looked so tired that they were covered in mud and dirty.
"Xiaoman, Xiaole. You guys are back. Look at how tired you are in this outfit! Go and wash your hands and eat watermelon to quench your thirst."
To be honest, Ye Xiaoman and Gao Le were both ‘city people’ and had never done any heavy work. The work of cleaning muds and stones in the afternoon was considered exhausting.
Waiting for the two of them to wash their hands, they couldn't wait to eat.
"So sweet!"
"Xiao Ding. Hand me another piece of watermelon."

It's evening.
Guan Xiuxian has not had a day off.
After a hurry to have supper, he headed straight to the village chief's house.
The village chief’s home is not far from the ancestral hall, an old house with a history of hundreds of years.
The bricks are made of ancient blue bricks.
The tiles are tiles as big as washbasins.
"village head?"
Pushing open the wooden door of the village chief’s house, Guan Xiuxian walked in.
"Is Xiao Guan here?"
"Why did you clean the road today?"
Before Guan Xiuxian could walk in, the village chief walked out of the house.
"Village Chief, the road cleaning work is progressing too slowly. I came here today. I wanted you to mobilize the residents in the village to help us clear the mud and stones together. Now two people have died in the village. I called the police... But because the road is blocked, the police can't get in at all. This is not a solution. I think it's better to clear the road first." Guan Xiuxian thought about the words before speaking.
"You mean, let the villagers in the village help you clear the mud on the road?" The village chief frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about, but finally made a decision and said, "It's better. I'll let a few strong villagers go over to help you couples and speed up the progress. Xiaoguan, it's not that we don't want to clear the road. I guess you have heard that because of the heavy rain, the ancestral tombs in our village have basically collapsed. We have to ask someone to go up the mountain to clean the ancestral tombs."
"Okay. Thank you, the village chief." Guan Xiuxian heard some rumors about the mountain.
It is said that many of the tombs on the back mountain are empty, and the corpses are unknown where they went.
"Village Chief, then I'll leave first. You'll do your business first." Guan Xiuxian finished speaking and left.
It would be very quiet and nice to have a few more people in the village.
He expressed his satisfaction with this result.
"dog?"
"A dog full of black?"
When he walked to the door, Guan Xiuxian happened to see a dog.
The whole body is black.
The black dog did not bark.
But the dog was biting something in his mouth. When he looked closely, it turned out to be a bone.
A big bone.
It's white, a little scary.
What animal bone is this?
Guan Xiuxian was stunned and the black dog left with his bone in his mouth.
For some reason, he always felt that the dog was a little strange.
"Da Hei is back, what are you holding in your mouth? Spit it out quickly, spit it out quickly."
Behind Guan Xiuxian, the village chief's scolding came the village chief.
Is the black dog from the village chief’s family?
Guan Xiuxian looked back and happened to see the village chief driving the dog anxiously, as if he was teaching it a lesson.
The black dog was timid and seemed to be very scared.
Guan Xiuxian left the village chief’s house without thinking too much.

In the WeChat group.
"@All members I talked with the village chief today. I originally wanted to mobilize the whole village to help us clear the roads. However, because the village had to repair graves and shortage of staff, I could only send a few villagers from the village to come. There were about a dozen people. We would have to arrive tomorrow morning and start work all day tomorrow."
Guan Xiuxian posted such an announcement in the WeChat group.
"Brother Xiuxian is really good. He is worthy of being a special forces soldier. His leadership and organizational skills are all the same. I am convinced."
Chapter completed!
