Lao Gao's family lives in the most marginal area of this small county town with a population of only about 200,000, the yard is quite large, there are two three-room brick houses in the north and south, an old couple, two sons and a girl below, both married and have a child in each family, and the two sons live in a brick house after the girl marries.
The life of this old Gao family has always been very difficult, the old couple man had a cerebral thrombosis five years ago and could only lie on the kang, let the old lady take feces and urine to serve and feed, to put it bluntly, it is waiting for death, but people are very strong and struggling to live all the time.
The old lady's health is not very good, cataracts can not see clearly, walking and tiptoeing, the eldest of the two sons is thirty-six years old, the one who just drove Wuling Hongguang, the younger thirty-two, the two brothers live by farming in the summer, planting a few acres of land, and do it in the county when they are not busy farming Some odd jobs, the daughter was less than 30 years old and married to a tunzi around the county, and the life of the husband's family was not very good.
In general, the members of the Lao Gao family represent the most dire poor people in China, they don't have enough to eat, and they don't have a good life, they just live simply, without any hope and rush, there is no dawn and smile in life, but they have to struggle.
It stands to reason that this kind of life can deal with living for a lifetime, and it is bitter to be bitter, but it is better to die than to live, but before the New Year, the old Gao family didn't know what was going on, and began to be unlucky one after another, and a total of three people died before the New Year, and the family was forced immediately It's going crazy.
Before the Chinese New Year, on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, the children of the eldest son of the old Gao family went to the small rivers around the county with their friends to go ice skating, in the northeast, there were basically two kinds of entertainment activities for children when they were young, building snowmen and having snowball fights and skating on the ice, the eldest son's child was a man at the age of nine The child, due to malnutrition, is relatively thin, only weighing 50 catties.
The river where these children skate is actually a small blister, the water depth is nearly one meter or so in summer, and it freezes after freezing in winter Actually fell into an ice hole, and fell down and disappeared, the child did not pounce at all, the adult then heard the news, but it took two hours to fish up the child more than ten meters away from the ice hole, at that time the person was already frozen into a popsicle.
The eldest son's family is just this child, after the death of the grief, the child almost didn't go crazy, but I didn't expect this funeral has not been done, the fifth night after the child's death The old lady went out to pour the old man's urinal when she walked and fell, and the road surface after the snow in the northeast was not Often slippery, basically a little careless will fall on the head, the old lady fell on the ground and her head fell on a piece of ice bump, at that time the blood flowed like an infusion, and when people found out, the blood was frozen and coagulated, and the person naturally died.
There are still more than ten days left for the New Year, and the old Gao family has died, an old man and a young man, and there is no need to pass this year, so they all start to handle the funeral.
People are laughing and laughing and watching the Spring Festival Gala eat dumplings in Chinese New Year's Eve, but several members of the old Gao family are sad and guarding the two coffins, which is quite worrying.
When the funeral of the old lady and the child was over, and the old Gao family still hadn't come out of the grief, three days ago the second son drank at a friend's house in more than ten miles away, probably because the family died too sadly, the second son drank a pound and a half of liquor alone, and when he left, he was quite sober, with his hands in his pockets and a cigarette, although his steps were a little shaky, but he was not in a drunken state, the friend originally planned to leave him to sleep overnight, but the second son had to go home alone.
When he had walked three or four miles, he was on a path After a slip of his foot, the man fell to the ground and never got up again.
In the early morning of the next day, someone passed by and found the body of the second son, who was lying in a snowy trench, wearing underwear after taking off his clothes, lying on his back as if he was asleep, and he was already frozen and hard.
A few years ago, people who drank alcohol froze to death in the rural areas of Northeast China, and people were often frozen to death in the countryside of Heijiliao Province, and I heard this more than once when I was a child.
When you finish drinking in winter, you are very sober when you are outside, but after a period of time, people will quickly be in a state of paralysis, at this time, it is better if you go home in one breath, once you fall on your heels, don't think about it, and drunk people can't tell the difference after falling to the ground Where he is and he can't feel the cold, subconsciously he will think that he is lying on the hot kang at home at this time, so he thinks about sleeping, and this sleeping person has no possibility of getting up again.
Before the year and the year, the already poor old Gao family died a child, an old lady and a second son, and one for each of the three generations of the old, middle and young people.
The owner of the breakfast stall sighed and said: "If you commit evil deeds, you will drown the child's small river, in the summer, you can pest your head to the bottom of the river with a fierce man, and in the winter, when the whole river freezes, how can people fall down?"
” Xiang Que sighed and asked, "Then this person, didn't you find someone to show you?"
"Looking, when the old lady died, I found someone to go out of the horse, and then there was a big god to go to the evil, tossing for two days and spending more than a thousand yuan, but I didn't expect that the second son was frozen to death just after the New Year, and the old Gao family now will carry a kitchen knife and click to cut as long as they see the horse."
The boss squinted his eyes and looked at Xiang Que and said, "So, little brother, you have to be careful when you go, don't say that you are out of the horse, and you are easy to be beaten."
Xiang Que said: "This is a charlatan."
The boss hehe, said: "I'll tell you, who in these ten miles and eight towns doesn't know what is going on with the people who do the horse, just cheat some money and get it, don't do anything" out of the horse, it is a branch under the shamanic wizard, to put it simply, it can pass the yin, let the ghost go on the body, and you can also see if you are a person or there is something dirty at home, and the ability is slightly higher can also be divined and calculated, and the people who went out of the horse in the old society were real Those who have studied with teachers have also learned their skills, but the recent ones who have been out of the horse are basically deceiving people.
Because the rural people in the Northeast are stupid and willing to spend money, they don't like to take the right way to solve things, and they prefer to find horses.
Therefore, there are a lot of scammers in this industry nowadays.
