At this time, about ten minutes had passed since I agreed with the villagers not to go out at noon.
But what happened just now, the villagers living near Wang Hu's house had already seen it clearly through the windows.
At this moment, as soon as my uncle left, the villagers immediately came out of the house and surrounded me.
"Chen Xian, didn't you say that Lao Li is receiving treatment in the hospital? Why did that weirdo just say that Lao Li was dead?"
"Chen Xian, what happened? Who is that person? What is Hongmen?"
I was in such a mess right now, and coupled with the severe pain caused by the broken nose bone, I had no time to chat with them.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to the clinic for bandaging." I said.
The villagers gave way one after another. At this time, the two dogs behind them came out of the house tremblingly.
He was the one who witnessed everything just now most directly. He walked up to me, supported me, and said with a flattering look on his face.
"Brother Chen! I'll help you go to the village clinic. My second aunt works there. I'll ask her to bandage you!"
I pushed him away and said, "I hurt my nose, not my legs. I can walk on my own!"
"That's okay, I'll go with you and let my second aunt bandage you! No charge!" He came up again, laughing.
Ergou is a full six years older than me, and he knows this, but he still licked his face and called me Brother Chen.
I know what he is thinking, it is just like him calling me Wang Hu Hu Ge, he wants to hug me.
I didn't have time to talk to him, so I went to the clinic. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when I came out.
My uncle hasn't come back yet, but a large number of villagers have gathered in front of my house.
I don't want to reveal too much to the villagers. After all, it would not be good for them to know too much about this kind of thing.
The villagers also knew my character, so they sent a representative to talk to me. This representative is the head of our village.
The village chief has a good relationship with my family, or in other words, he has a very good personal relationship with Uncle Li. He asked me about the cause of Uncle Li's death. I knew I couldn't hide it, so I admitted it.
But I only said that Uncle Li died of illness. If you ask me the specific reason, I actually can’t tell you.
At first, I thought the village chief was here to express concern on behalf of the villagers, but until he asked a question.
"Chen Xian, how long do you have to deal with this matter? Will the weirdo from before come to the village to cause trouble again?"
From the beginning to the end, the villagers never asked where Uncle Li was buried. Instead, they asked this question, and I understood immediately.
The villagers were afraid that the masked man's return would affect the safety of the villagers. He was not here to care about Uncle Li and me, but more about the black gauze hat on his head.
If something happens to the villagers, he, as the village chief, is to blame. Some people may say that the village chief may just care about the safety of the villagers. There is no need to think about him being too selfish. I can only say that he cares nonsense.
If he really cared about the safety of the villagers, and the next year there was a flood in the town and the government allocated funds for disaster relief, he would not have been involved in corruption and would have been dismissed and investigated.
I'll give it to the village chief and the matter will be settled by tomorrow at the latest.
When the time comes, I will also leave the village and never come back. I will ensure that it will not affect the people in the village. Only then can the village chief leave with peace of mind.
After the village chief left, the villagers also dispersed. The two dogs flattered them diligently, but I kicked them out of the door.
In this way, I waited patiently until five o'clock in the afternoon. Finally, there was a knock on the door.
I excitedly went to open the door, but when the door opened, there was only my uncle standing outside.
I asked curiously: "Uncle, Zhixi, didn't you come back with me?"
Uncle Master shook his head, entered the room and said, "Not yet."
"But I can tell you that she is safe now, don't worry."
"Have you seen her?" I asked, and my uncle shook his head.
"Then how do you know she's okay?"
"Aren't you all fine? How could something happen to her?" Uncle Master smiled.
I don't understand what my uncle meant. I'm fine. What does it have to do with Zhixi?
Uncle Master also saw my doubts and explained before I asked.
"Do you remember what I said when I took you and the girl down the mountain that night?"
"I said, you are a pair of poor people whose fates are tied together."
"Originally what Jiang Shui and I thought was that you and the girl are both living dead, and getting married won't have any impact."
"But we were deceived by that yellow man. You are a living dead, but she is not. When you two get married, it is equivalent to tying her fate as a living person to you."
"Therefore, if she is injured at all, you will feel it. It is like the telepathy between twins."
I nodded, remembered something, and asked, "Her fate is tied to mine, what about mine?"
Uncle Master rolled his eyes: "You are a living dead, how did you get your destiny?"
I smiled awkwardly and said, "Then her fate is tied to me. Apart from telepathy, does it have any other effects?"
Uncle Master nodded and said, "Yes. Since you and the girl have been married under the witness of Huang Pizi, you must not have second thoughts in this life. Otherwise, you will be punished by God."
‘What!’ I was shocked: “I was sold to her?”
Uncle Master nodded: "It's the same thing in reverse."
At that time, I only had a good impression of Zhixi at best.
You know, I haven't even had my first love yet. I didn't even have time to take a look at this huge colorful world, but my uncle told me that I was destined to only be with Zhixi in this life. Who else would it be?
I'm afraid it's hard to accept.
"Can this bound fate be lifted?" I asked.
"What? Don't you like that girl?" Uncle Master asked with a smile.
I scratched my head and said, "I can't really tell. I have a crush on her, but I can't say I like her."
"Then why do you care about her so much?" Uncle Shi's words touched my heart.
Ever since I was a child, perhaps because I am a living dead, I have rarely shown too much concern for others.
The only person I could really care about was Uncle Li. I began to think that this might have something to do with me killing animals since I was a child. I was numb and naturally didn't care.
But later I discovered that maybe this is the subtle difference between the living dead and the living.
I can treat everything around me calmly, and I cannot empathize with others. This kind of thing cannot be said to be good or bad, and it varies from person to person.
Faced with my uncle's inquiry, I didn't want to admit my true feelings for Zhixi.
Therefore, I replied stiffly: "My words are just the pity of the strong for the weak. Wang Hu's soul has been lost. Aren't I also anxious to help him find it?"
"But behind the scenes, it's not for that girl?" Uncle Master said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Here are the things. It's time to put up a lantern."
