Ye Ming saw the two young men with their trousers rolled up, wearing plastic slippers, and their tops slanted on their shoulders. They looked like villagers from Chenjia Village. He thought they were also here to visit the graves of their ancestors, so he didn't pay attention. He turned around and squatted down in front of Gong Zhichao.
In front of the tombstone, I took out the sacrificial supplies from the bag, first lit three incense sticks, held the incense sticks in my chest, silently bowed three times to the tombstone, and then inserted the incense sticks on the soil in front of the tombstone.
Then, he put a few more fruits into three plates, placed them on the cement foundation of the tombstone, burned a bunch of money, and bowed to the tomb with tears in his eyes again amid the wisps of smoke.
At this moment, he heard footsteps coming from behind him, and then he heard a shout: "Who are you from Gong Zhichao? Why do you want to burn money paper for him? He is a death row prisoner with heinous crimes, and he also embezzled our Chen
ancestral graveyard
Here, we are about to dig his grave! I see your license plate number is from out of town. It's best to leave quickly! When the gravedigger comes later, he sees you burning incense and paper money for this gangster leader
, be careful they break your hands!"
Ye Ming was in a state of grief at this time. He suddenly heard the shouting from behind him and became furious. He turned around and stared coldly at the two young people through his sunglasses.
He shouted: "Get out!"
The young man who had just scolded him was furious. He took a step closer, almost pointed his finger in his face, and shouted with spittle: "Little turtle, who are you telling to get out? You, a turtle from outside, dare to run wild in Chenjia'ao?"
Believe it or not, I will kick your guts out with a kick?"
Ye Ming listened to his arrogance and smiled instead of getting angry: "You try to kick me? Let's see whose guts come out first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man flew up and kicked Ye Ming in the lower abdomen.
Ye Ming snorted coldly, suddenly stretched out a hand, grabbed the ankle he kicked in mid-air, and gently pushed it forward. The guy lost his footing and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Another young man saw that Ye Ming was quick and easy, and knocked his companion to the ground with one move. Knowing that he had met a master, he hurriedly went over to pull up the person who was lying on the ground, and while walking down the hillside, he took out his mobile phone and started calling.
Telephone.
Ye Ming's ears were very sensitive. Although he was already some distance away from the two people, he still clearly heard his voice on the phone: "Brother Wei, the Gong family hasn't moved Gong Zhichao's grave yet. There is still one here."
A foreigner was worshiping him! Just now Xiaohu wanted to teach the foreigner a lesson, but he didn't expect that guy was very powerful in kung fu. He knocked Xiaohu over as soon as he stretched out his hand. Please bring someone over here quickly. The two of us probably can't do that.
Outlander!"
Ye Ming heard this conversation and combined with what the two young men had just said about digging Gong Zhichao's grave, he vaguely guessed: because this hillside is the ancestral grave of the Chen family in Chenjiaao, and Gong Zhichao's surname is a foreign name.
According to the rules, you cannot be buried on this grave. Therefore, someone in the Chen family compound wants Gong Zhichao's relatives to move the grave. If not, they will dig the grave!
However, he was very confused: If this was the case, why did the people in the Chen family compound allow Gong Zhichao to be buried next to Chen Yuanqiao? Why did he not think of moving Gong Zhichao's grave until now?
So, he once again focused his attention on the two young people. After they walked to the lawn at the bottom of the hillside, they turned their heads to look at the red brick bungalow to the west, and then tiptoed around like thieves.
Go that way.
When they reached about fifty meters away from the bungalow, the two people stopped and stretched their necks to look towards the bungalow. However, they watched for several minutes, but there was still no movement on the other side of the bungalow.
Later, Ye Ming saw the two people putting their heads together, muttering something in a low voice, then turned around and walked to the opposite dirt road, got into the van, started the car, and drove away in a hurry.
Ye Ming didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd, nor what exactly was in that bungalow that made the two of them so afraid. They lowered their heads and thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure it out, so they decided to go there and take a look.
So, he walked to Chen Yuanqiao's grave again, lit incense, placed fruits, and burned money as he had just done. Then he opened two envelopes of firecrackers and lit the fuses. They set off with a "cracking" sound, stirring up the nearby thorns.
Several turtle doves flew up in the bush, which startled Ye Ming.
After the firecrackers were set off, Ye Ming looked up at the bungalow again, but there was still no movement.
So, he walked down the hillside, turned to the west, and walked quickly to the front of the bungalow. He saw an earthen stove built with red bricks on the right side of the walkway in front of the house, and an iron pot was placed on the stove. There was a table next to the stove.
, there are bottles of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar on it, as well as bowls and chopsticks. The charcoal fire under the stove is still red. It seems that someone has been living here.
So, he walked to the door of the middle room, raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door several times, but no one answered.
After a pause, he knocked on the door several times and asked loudly: "Is there anyone inside?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion inside, as if his words had surprised the people inside.
About half a minute later, someone inside suddenly asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
When Ye Ming heard this familiar voice, he couldn't help being surprised and said quickly: "Are you a short winter melon? Open the door quickly, I am Ye Ming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several exclamations of "Ah!" came from inside, and the commotion became even louder - obviously, there were many people gathered in the room, and you could tell by the footsteps inside.
Soon, the wooden door creaked open, and the person who opened the door was indeed Short Winter Melon. Behind him, there were seven or eight Gong Zhichao's former subordinates standing densely, and Ye Ming was impressed.
Xiao Donggua glanced at Ye Ming with a straight face and said in a low voice: "Director Ye, what are you doing here? We thought you had forgotten Brother Chao and Mr. Chen a long time ago! Were you the firecrackers on the grave just now?
Released? Are you paying homage to Brother Chao and Mr. Chen?"
Seeing Ye Ming nod, the expression on Ao Donggua's face softened a little, but still had a trace of resentment, and said: "Director Ye, why do you still know that today is Brother Chao's death anniversary, so you came to his grave to drop a hexagram?"
Firecrackers. But we brothers all have a question: On this day last year, when Brother Chao was killed, where did you hide? Why didn’t you go to the detention center to see him for the last time? Why is your phone always turned off? Don’t you know Brother Chao?
Do they treat you as a biological brother?"
Seeing that he kept calling himself "Director Ye", Ye Ming knew that they must not know that he was already the secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee. Moreover, judging from his tone, it was obvious that he was very resentful that he did not go to see Brother Chao off last year. He explained with a wry smile:
"Winter melon, last year
On June 13th, I was on a business trip in Beijing. I lost my mobile phone that day and couldn't find it, so I didn't know that it was the day when Brother Chao ascended to heaven. Besides, even if you got through my phone number, I couldn't get through to Beijing.
