"Are you up?" The first sentence I asked was very direct.
"Not yet." I said, rubbing my sleepy eyes.
"Oh my God, what time of day is this? Why don't you get up! Get up quickly, I have something to ask of you." The old cousin said with a sly smile.
"What's going on?" With a reluctant look on my face, I asked about his family from the bottom of my heart.
"Hey, I knew you wouldn't refuse. The young man has a future! Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you. Here's the thing. Last night, an informant gave a clue that something strange happened in the countryside. I figured it out.
I’ll let you go over and take a look. I won’t pay him the information fee yet. I’ll find someone to send the manuscript to him when it comes out.”
"Then what?"
"No more, go over, ask about the situation, take some photos and write a manuscript, and give it to me as soon as possible after you come back." The old cousin said, showing an unprecedented generosity.
"You have to tell me what's going on." After listening, I said.
"Well... a person died over there." After pondering for a while, the old cousin said.
"Okay, got it." As soon as I heard this, I knew why he came to me.
I am quite resistant to this arrangement in my heart, and I dare not say it out loud. I will obey the organization's arrangements unconditionally. I have always had the mentality of being submissive to the needs of small employees. Even if you complain a few words, you still have to obey orders.
, Instead of doing this, it is better to leave a good thought to the leader.
I have no choice. If I don’t do it, they can fire me. If they fire me, I can’t even pay the low-cost room rate this month. When I think about the arrogant-looking housekeeper standing at the door and knocking on the door every day, I feel as irritable as me.
I no longer have any temper.
Who said it well? How dare you not lower your head when you are under a low eaves? It often takes a lot of courage to pee against the wind. At least, I really don’t have this courage at this moment.
Half a bottle of mineral water, two panda eyes, a worn-out backpack with a bunch of equipment, and an outfit with nothing new.
With a piece of bread in my left hand and a phone call in my right hand, looking quite embarrassed, I sat on a bus heading to the scene of the incident and thought about the various encounters that were about to happen.
To be honest, what haven't you seen as a reporter? What haven't you seen as a tabloid reporter? However, the news clues I encountered this time really made me nervous, because the things I encountered were more bizarre than before.
.
On the way here, I had a phone call with the informant. I got a general idea of what was going on and found a date location. The content on the phone was quite simple, but that didn't mean it wasn't bloody enough.
The place where the incident happened is about 20 kilometers away from me. There is a little-known border town there. There are several small villages on the edge of the town. Most of the people in one of them are named Zhang, and we call it Zhangjiacun.
.
There was a big man in Zhangjia Village named Zhang Dakui. He was a simple and honest middle-aged man, but he unexpectedly married a wife who was famous far and wide for her fierceness.
It's interesting to say that this daughter-in-law was introduced by Zhang Dakui's mother. She didn't want her to be beautiful, but she liked her shrewdness. But who would have thought that finding a shrewd daughter-in-law would save her from such a disadvantage?
There are some conflicting attributes with this wife-in-law. Several years have passed, and there are no problems in getting along with outsiders, but the internal conflicts among the people have become more and more intense.
It is common for parents to have shortcomings and stumbling blocks, and a bad relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the estrangement between these two people is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
For some unknown reason, one day not long ago, the tough old lady and her shrewish daughter-in-law finally broke through the barriers of morality and started fighting. They fought for half an hour without stopping. The battle was so fierce that the people in the village heard the screams and rushed forward to help.
, but it’s better not to persuade them, because there are more people than one and two people, and the quarrel becomes more hilarious. Both sides insist on their own opinions, and no one lets go.
Later, luckily, he found Zhang Dakui and went home. He even threatened, beat, and dragged away his wife before he managed to calm down the matter.
After tea and dinner, there was a burst of ridicule, and the matter was over. However, that night, the old lady, who had never suffered any loss under the support of public opinion, became so angry that after crying, she found the hemp rope to tie the sack.
Hanging from the wooden beam in front of his house, his death was horrific and terrifying.
When he came back in the evening, his unsuspecting daughter-in-law was made docile by Zhang Dakui, and she came to her mother-in-law's house to apologize.
She knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside. No matter how patiently she tried to talk, no one answered her.
As mentioned earlier, this woman was not a light-hearted person. She was very angry when the old lady refused to let her go. After slamming the door a few times, she kicked open the door to the back room, grabbed her waist, and rushed in. But
As soon as the door panel opened, he saw the other party's livid face with his tongue hanging out.
Her tongue was sticking out, her eyes were bulging out, and she was staring straight at her and wandering around from time to time. This was a scene that you would never see many times in your life.
No matter how tough that woman was, she was still a woman. How could she bear it when she saw this situation? After being speechless for a short time, she said "Oh my God" and was so frightened that she fainted.
When the neighbors heard the news, they were shocked. Two brave men came over and put the old lady's body down, and called for help from the villagers to rescue her. As a result, Zhang Dakuina's mother had long since died, and her daughter-in-law
He also fell ill as if he had been struck by something, foaming at the mouth and convulsing all the time, and he was on the verge of death within a few days.
As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly. If things ended here, it would be a family tragedy. However, they did not expect that on the night when the old lady died, some unusual things happened in their house. These things were not only
This made Zhang Dakui's situation worse and cast a thick shadow on the psychology of those around him.
"Oh my God, you don't know, I was so scared that day... They said there were ghosts and ghosts. I didn't believe it before, but now I see, what the old man said is not wrong at all...
....." As soon as he saw me, the informant frowned and said to me.
"Calm down and speak slowly." I took out a notebook and comforted me while writing the date.
"Then, where do I start?" Seeing that I didn't catch a cold very much, the boy was stunned.
"Let's start from the beginning. Well...for example...what do you do and why are you here." I sat down at a small restaurant in the town and moved a chair to him.
It's not a restaurant and there aren't many people.
"Oh, look, I've forgotten all about this. Comrade reporter, my name is Zhang Ergou. I'm a local. I work in various places all over the country. I used to have some friendship with your editor. I'm an old friend.
No. No, I will think of him as soon as something happens, hehe."
