Chapter 669
Chapter 669
Entering the small courtyard of the Chen family, Ye Xuan immediately smelled a foul smell.
It smells so bad it's disgusting.
Especially Meng Shengnan, who almost vomited.
What does it smell like? !
Isn't this too fucking stinky? ? ?
The three of Ye Xuan forcibly endured the stench, and followed the old woman into the house.
"Grandma, what was that smell just now?"
After entering the house, the stench was much reduced, but there was still a lingering smell, which made people want to vomit.
Ye Xuan frowned and asked.
Now the three of them are all pretending to be officials from the city who came to condolences. As long as they don't show their feet, it is naturally impossible to arouse suspicion.
"Oh, it's the smell of the biogas tank in the toilet... I'm used to it..."
The old woman replied blankly, and then pointed to the chairs and sofas not far away,
"Sit, sit."
wrong……
This is not the smell of a digester...
Ye Xuan frowned.
He could smell it, there was a faint smell of corpses and putrefaction in the smell! ! !
The three sat on the sofa and looked around.
Although the outside of this rural area is still very messy, the interior of the room is almost the same as that of the city. There are all kinds of facilities, which are very complete and look very good.
But this is enough to reflect a problem, the Chen family is not poor.
Meng Shengnan had told Ye Xuan back then that Chen Xingyu's parents had given her tens of thousands of dollars from the very beginning.
Of course, whether Chen Xingyu's parents were still conscious at that time, or what other circumstances... It is unknown.
In short, something is wrong with the Chen family, and something is even worse with Chen Xingyu! ! !
"Come, drink tea and drink tea."
The old woman made a pot of tea and poured a cup for each of the three.
Ye Xuan and the others just nodded to express their gratitude, and no one went to bring the cup of tea.
God knows what's going to happen here.
After all, there have been too many weird things these days.
And this old woman is unknown, so it's better to be careful.
"Mother-in-law, where did Uncle Chen go? We still have something to do with him."
Ye Xuan said with a smile, showing a harmless appearance to humans and animals.
When the old lady Qinglan heard Ye Xuan's question, she was obviously stunned for a moment before answering:
"Oh, he's gone on a long journey, and he won't be back until two days later."
"Huh? Where did you go?!"
Ye Xuan asked.
He knew that the old woman was simply lying.
What the hell is going on a long trip... Is this far away called heaven or hell? ? ? !
"I went to Jingzhou to visit relatives. His elder brother is in Jingzhou. This time when this happened...he felt uncomfortable. He said that he didn't want to stay here for the time being, so he went to his elder brother's place for two days."
The old woman rolled her mouse eyes twice,
"If you have anything to do, you can tell me. I will tell him when he comes back."
"Alright, alright."
Ye Xuan took out 1000 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into the old woman's hand.
"This is the condolence money sent to you by the government this time, please accept it."
This money was prepared before he came here.
This occasional play, it must not be exposed, otherwise it will be completely cold.
When the old woman saw the money, her eyes lit up.
She took the money without saying a word, and thanked Ye Xuan and the others repeatedly:
"Thank you, thank you government..."
"Well, actually, we have something else to do this time."
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, and continued to say to the old woman,
"We want to pay homage to Xingyu and his parents' tomb...to express our hearts."
"This...you don't need it...they've already...don't bother them anymore..."
said the old woman with a sigh.
Looking at it like this, it was obvious that they didn't want Ye Xuan and the others to go.
In the end, Ye Xuan had no choice but to show his hole card:
"Mother-in-law, we are on official business, so please make it easier for us... If you don't go, the higher-ups will blame you, and all three of us will lose our jobs. I hope you can understand, let's go and have a look, burn incense sticks, It will never disturb their rest."
These words caused Luo Mingwei and Meng Shengnan to nod their heads, and they all agreed.
"I said no, but no!"
The old woman suddenly yelled,
"My son, daughter-in-law and grandson are all gone, what else do you think?! Don't think that a little stinky money is a big deal. Except for our Chen family, none of you can touch the grave of my grandson and son, and burn a tomb on it." Stick incense! Otherwise, I will go to Beijing and sue you!"
? ? ? ? ?
How did this involve going to Beijing to file a complaint? !
The topic has changed a bit...
Ye Xuan was speechless for a while.
He could see that the old woman had started to play tricks here in order to prevent them from going to the grave.
"You go, you go! The money is returned to you, go!"
The old woman sprinkled the money in her hand to Ye Xuan and the others.
Ye Xuan and the others looked at each other, and had no choice but to get up and leave.
Of course, the handful of banknotes actually remained with the old woman.
The money just now was just to drive them away.
If you keep saying you don't want money, don't you have to obediently pick it up in the end? !
After leaving Chen's house, Luo Mingwei said:
"This old woman is full of nonsense. I checked it out a long time ago. Chen Dongsheng is an only seedling, and he doesn't have any big brother at all. Besides, Chen Dongsheng died a long time ago, how could he still travel far away?!"
"What a fart...!"
Ye Xuan spat,
"This old woman is a duplicitous guy. Let's be careful. And the stench in the yard just now smells like a corpse. It's definitely not a methane pool."
"Well, Brother Ye, what should we do now?! Go back?!"
Luo Mingwei looked at his watch,
"It's almost three o'clock. It's probably evening when we get back to Huadu."
"Wait a little longer. If it doesn't work, check to see if there are any small hotels around and stay first. This Niujiao Village is not easy..."
Ye Xuan frowned tightly,
"There is another crucial question. I don't know if you have discovered it?"
"what?!"
Romingway paused, and some did not recover.
At this time, Meng Shengnan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said:
"The coffin, I didn't see Chen Dongsheng's coffin."
"Correct!"
Ye Xuan nodded,
"When we were at the entrance of the village, those old men said that Chen Dongsheng died yesterday, that is to say, Chen Dongsheng has not yet held a funeral. In rural areas, the funeral is usually held the day after his death. It is said that someone will go to watch the spirit tonight. But from outside From the moment I entered the yard until I came out, I didn't see Chen Dongsheng's coffin."
"This is so weird..."
Luo Mingwei scratched his head,
"Brother Ye, I remembered it when you said that. This old woman is still wearing bright red clothes. If she goes out, she will be drowned in the spittle of the villagers!"
"Well, let's go around first and ask other villagers."
Ye Xuan said,
"I don't think I can go back to Huadu today, Xiao Luo, can you see if there is a county town nearby? Let's go there and find a hotel or something to stay in."
