Chapter 387 Turning the corner!
A house worth three million is not an easy task for people of Tang Jianguo. If he sells it at a low price, his family will have to rent a house to live in. He is a man at home, and he has been working hard for more than ten years but cannot warm his wife and children. This makes him feel so frustrated!
What's even more frustrating is that he clearly has a house, but it is a terrifying reason. He is haunted and has to give up living here. People often say that they don't do bad things and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, but I think he is not bad!
But why did this ghost come to him? It really made Tang Jianguo feel uncomfortable, frustrated and depressed!
"Forget it, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. A big man, you still have your wife and children to take care of. Besides, you are lucky to meet us. Let's take a look at this matter. Ma Xiaoling, see where he needs to move his family. If you can't, get him a few door gods or invite him back to the kitchen god.
If it doesn't work, put a few talismans or evil-proof things. In short, we will help you deal with your family's affairs, but you have to take us to Qingshui Bridge to let us know the truth about the flood three years ago.
At least we have to prove that the drowning thing is really not a question. Otherwise, we would not be willing to help the evildoer. If there are blood on our hands, we deserve to be entangled by evil spirits!"
Wang Fan said it very clearly. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he still believed in Tang Jianguo's words, but he could not only believe in one-sided words. He still had to investigate. If the matter was as he said, he would not mind using the evil spirits in Tang Jian's country to raise the little sword spirits and drunkards.
"Okay, I'll take you to Qingshui Bridge. Actually, this is also a heart-wrenching problem for me. I've long wanted to go and see you. I haven't had time. Today, everyone is here, so I'll drive together!"
Tang Jianguo stood up all of a sudden. Last month, he heard about the death of Qingshuiqiao, but he was not very clear about the details. He also blamed himself at that time, and he went to the temple with his wife to burn incense.
If you can go to Qingshui Bridge in person, see what the hell is, and find out the reason, maybe he will feel more at ease in his heart so as not to be suspicious!
Since everyone meant this, Tang Jianguo soon drove a car and took Wang Fan and others to Qingshui Bridge. His wife was scared at home alone and wanted to go with her. Fortunately, it was a business car and the group did not seem crowded!
Qingshui Bridge is in the township of the city where Tang Jianguo is located. At about noon, the group arrived at the Qingshui Bridge, which is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. At this time, the mountains are bare. The village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water, but there are not many people in the village. The old trees withered vines are very desolate.
"I haven't been here in this village for many years. More than ten years ago, there were still many residents in this area. Now it seems that many families have been moved away. Our old bridge is relatively remote to the west of the village and has been washed away! I just don't know if it has been rebuilt?"
Even though he hadn't come for many years, there was not much change here, and Tang Jianguo seemed to be very familiar with him. He led his wife and Wang Fan and the others along the river that was more than ten meters wide and walked like the west.
Because people are rarely visited, there are deep reeds growing by the river. The reeds stick to Ma Xiaoling's body, making her mouth tilted up.
"It's right in front. There is no new bridge building on the pile of stones. As for the place where the ferry drowns people, it's probably on the east side of the exit of the village. I have to ask the people in the village for details!"
Tang Jianguo was also a little embarrassed at this time. After all, the death still had a shadow in his heart, otherwise he would not have felt very uneasy after hearing the news!
After Wang Fan and Lin Feng walked around the former site of the broken bridge, Lin Feng looked at the pile of stones, then shook his head at Wang Fan, and sent a message to him: "There is no sign of ghosts moving here. I guess there is no problem with this bridge. I will stroll around the river later, and I may find something!"
As long as there are signs of ghosts moving, Lin Feng can feel it. Moreover, if many ghosts die in vain, they will not be able to wander around at the place when they are dying, and they will become lonely souls that cannot be reincarnated!
When Wang Fan and his team entered the village, there was a very old wooden boat by the river to the east, with two oars on it, and the boat used ropes to fix one end of the river. On the opposite side of the river, there was also a boat. It was probably the equipment used by villagers to cross the river!
"Get on the boat. If you want to enter the village, it's probably only one road. There are not many villagers here, and there is not even a stone bridge in Qingshui Bridge!"
Lin Feng jumped on the wooden boat because it seemed that he could row the boat in this group. The remaining people were probably all landslides, but on such a river, there was no problem even if they fell into the water like Wang Fan and Ma Xiaoling!
Because of their strong purpose, several people quickly found some elderly people who stayed in the village. For example, they inquired about the floods for three years. This matter is a big deal in the local area, so even after a few years, many people still remember it freshly!
"The flood came too hard, almost rushed down from the upstream at once, so all the boats by the river capsized at once. The place you came to was walking twenty or thirty meters eastward. That location was probably where the boat was washed away!"
The person who said this was an old man with an orange peel on his face, his face was full of vicissitudes, and it made people feel like he had a story at a glance. There were not many people in the village at all, and there were not many elderly people like him.
Tang Jianguo felt sad when he saw this, and brought some things and money for the old man. Under his guidance, he found the village chief in the village, which was also the only middle-aged man in the village. When the village chief saw outsiders coming, he was very enthusiastic and hurriedly greeted everyone and asked his wife to prepare wine and food!
Wang Fan looked up at his family and said that he was a village chief, and he had almost nothing valuable. A color TV worth more than 20 inches may be the most valuable thing. He lowered his head and thought about the house that was 20 to 3 million yuan in the Tang family, and he thought about it!
"There are very few guests in the village. Last time, someone was like you, asking about the old things three years ago. In fact, it has been a few years since the incident and there is nothing to ask about. The families whose boats were washed away had already moved out!
The village is inconvenient to get in and out, and there are no bridges and the villagers are poor, so fewer and fewer people live here. Young and strong people have moved to the city to live in. Who would still stay in such a small mountain village?”
The village chief was smoking a pipe and smelling tobacco. He raised his eyes and looked at Wang Fan and the others carefully. His eyes fell on Tang Jianguo, hesitated, and then suddenly shouted: "I think the boss is a little familiar. May I ask your surname?"
"My surname is Tang. I contracted a bridge here more than ten years ago. At that time, the village seemed to have more people than now. There were not enough labor at that time, so I even hired small workers in the village!"
Tang Jianguo hesitated for a moment and told the story of the bridge, which was also a knot in his heart. If he had persisted more than ten years ago, the bridge might have been built at the east end of the village, rather than to the remote west. Maybe that would not have happened three years ago!
This matter has always been the knot in his heart, especially when he heard that when someone ferries at the east end of the village, he had been drowned by the flood!
"Tang? You are Boss Tang. I remembered that I worked as a small worker for you back then, and I also built the bridge to the west of the village. At that time, the bridge was built quite strongly, but I didn't expect that it would be washed away when the flood was flooded. After so many years, the village has no money to build the bridge again, so I rely on those wooden boats to enter and exit!
It’s still convenient to have a bridge, otherwise there will be fewer and fewer people in the village!”
When the village chief said this, he seemed to suddenly feel emotion, and then told Tang Jianguo about the construction of a bridge in the village more than ten years ago. Wang Fan, who was on the other side, was always listening to them.
The village chief said that he had no prejudice against Tang Jianguo, and he still admired the bridge he built at that time. He said that it was both stone and cement. When the bridge was built, it was beautiful and elegant. At that time, he thought that the bridge could exist for hundreds of years. Who knew that the flood three years ago was too fierce and it washed away the bridge!
Not only was Wang Fan confused at this moment, but Tang Jianguo, who had been uneasy and guilty, was also confused. He did not expect that the village chief had a death row in the village. He did not blame himself for building the bridge west of the village, but praised the beautiful bridge, which was really true for the country people!
If you just remember that you are good to him, you won’t remember that you are bad to him!
"I thought back then that the bridge was built on the east side of the village to make it easier for villagers to travel, but the funding was insufficient at that time. If the materials were prepared, I could only choose a narrow place on the river. Oh, I have been uneasy for so many years, especially when I heard about your village last month, I didn't fall asleep for several nights.
If I persisted for a while, I might not have capsized. I have always felt guilty about this! I'm sorry!"
Seeing that the village chief had no intention of blaming him at this time, Tang Jianguo dared to say what he kept in his heart. Only then did he feel much better when he said this!
"What happened in the village? What made you feel guilty all the time? In fact, floods were a natural disaster, and it was not for others to blame. There were more than a dozen bridges that were washed away back then. The one in our village was the smallest!"
The village chief was a little confused and didn't understand what Tang Jianguo meant!
"I'm not talking about bridges, I'm talking about the people who capsized and drowned when the flood occurred. I've always felt sorry for the people who fell into the water, but I'm really unintentional. I really don't blame me for this!"
Now that Tang Jianguo felt guilty, thinking about the evil spirit at home, he still decided to make the words clear!
"The person who capsized and drowned? Why can't I understand what you said!"
