He was a bachelor, lazy, and had done a lot of sneaky things. This fresh mutton would definitely be bought by someone. Just go to the restaurant in the next village. The mutton could be sold for money. Whoever didn't do such a good thing would be a complete fool. There was a popular saying that this was a win-win situation.
Yes, win-win situation.
This was the old bachelor's idea.
In the brigade's room, Wang Yisheng was a little anxious.
"Uncle, why is there still no movement? Could it be that someone really ate it?"
"Why did your sheep eat rat poison? Why did you throw it away?" Wang Jianli was also a little angry. One must know that eating this thing by mistake could be fatal!
Wang Yisheng lowered his head and smoked silently. He didn't know what to say. After all, he was the one at fault.
"Hey, isn't there a surveillance camera in the village? Let's look for it," the village accountant next to him said.
"Yes, that's a good idea," Wang Yisheng said.
The surveillance camera was quickly found. There were a few surveillance cameras nearby. After a while, they found the person who picked up the dead sheep.
"That old bachelor!"
Chen Jiagui was the future of the village. He was over forty years old and was still unmarried. He had done all these things before and refused to change despite repeated warnings. He was a typical rascal in the village who could not be helped by mud on the wall.
"I'll go and find him," Wang Yisheng said.
He arrived at the old bachelor's door. He could smell the mutton smell coming from inside.
"Hey, this guy is really good at doing things!"
They were all from the same village. They could generally understand each other's temperament, let alone a famous person in the village.
He knocked outside for a long time, but the door didn't open.
"Where did this guy go?"
He simply climbed up the wall and saw the bloody sheep's bones and skin in the yard. They were thrown on the ground, but he didn't see anyone!
"Chen Jiagui!" He shouted.
There was no reply from inside.
"We, the people, are so happy today!"
On the road in the mountain village, the old bachelor, Chen Jiagui, was pedaling his broken bicycle happily. He had just returned from the village and sold two mutton legs for about 300 yuan. After he got the money, he immediately went to the retail department and asked for a box of wine and a few bags of pickles.
He could go two days without eating, but he couldn't go a day without drinking.
"This old bachelor, please don't let anything happen to him!" Wang Yisheng walked out of the alley. Coincidentally, he bumped into Chen Jiagui who was riding back.
Tattered clothes, broken car, unkempt hair, dirty face, and reeking of alcohol.
"Chen Jiagui, where the hell have you been?"
"What does it have to do with you?!" His roguish manner and emphasis were roguish.
"Let me ask you, where is the mutton you picked up?"
"What sheep?" Chen Jiagui had been a scoundrel in the village for more than 20 years. Lying was a common occurrence for him. It was simply a natural thing.
"I saw it on the surveillance camera. Where did you get the money to buy wine? Did you sell the mutton?"
Thinking of this, Wang Yisheng's face turned ugly.
He stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar!
"Which eye of yours saw me selling mutton?"
What was a scoundrel? That was someone who dared to face any accusation without batting an eyelid, refusing to admit it, and being shameless!
"Did you hear the broadcast just now?"
"What broadcast?" Chen Jiagui asked.
"There is something wrong with the sheep. Do you know that people may die after eating it?"
Thinking of the situation of the crazy sheep last night, he felt scared. If it was transmitted to people, would they also become crazy and die?
"Who are you kidding? Do you think I have no brain? The sheep that ate rat poison vomited black blood!" He was sure of this. Rats poisoned to death were almost everywhere in the village.
"Besides, what does it have to do with me if people die?!"
"Damn it!"
Wang Yisheng really wanted to beat him up now, but he really couldn't beat this rascal. If he beat him up now, then he wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life in the future. He would definitely come to your house every day to cause trouble. In any case, he was an old bachelor, barefoot people weren't afraid of wearing shoes.
Everyone in the village knew his situation. He was a typical old scoundrel. If you provoked him, he would be like a dog skin plaster. He would stick to you and would not let go. Therefore, they were not willing to argue with him.
"Tell me, who did you sell the mutton to?"
"Guess it yourself!"
The angry Wang Yisheng threw him to the side.
"You will regret it later!"
"Tsk." Chen Jiagui disdainfully curled his lips. He had heard such words many times.
He returned home and rode out on his motorcycle.
"Where are you going?" His wife shouted from behind.
"Looking for meat!"
"Looking for meat? What meat?" His wife was baffled by his words.
In the blink of an eye, her husband had already ridden the motorcycle to the entrance of the alley.
There were not many places to sell mutton nearby. Everyone in the village had heard the broadcast. Chen Jiagui would definitely not sell to the villagers. It was very likely that he would go to the nearest village or the nearest restaurant. In addition, he usually rode a broken bicycle and was lazy. He would not even go to the town. Therefore, he must have gone to the nearest restaurant.
His purpose was clear. He went to the next village restaurant.
He did not watch crime-solving dramas for nothing.
"Chen Jiagui, you have been here. Yes, you are right. I came to sell mutton. Is there a problem?"
"There is rat poison in the mutton!" Wang Yisheng said.
"What?!" The boss was shocked after hearing it.
"Damn it. I knew this rascal's mutton was not from a legitimate source. I was stupid for a moment. I actually believed his nonsense. The meat is still here." He took out two mutton legs and a piece of mutton chop.
The ingredients looked very fresh and the location was good. Therefore, he accepted it. He did not expect to encounter such a thing. Fortunately, this person came in time. Otherwise, he did not know how much trouble he would have caused. What if the customer ate the mutton?
"Is this your mutton?"
"Yes, it died. I threw it away. Then, Chen Jiagui picked it up and ate it. It is poisonous."
"That bastard!"
"Here you are."
Wang Yisheng took the mutton back home. He set a fire outside and burned it to ashes. Then, he dug a hole and buried it.
"You said Wang Yisheng ate the mutton?" His wife asked after hearing what her husband said.
"Yes, he ate it. I went to his house. He just cooked it." When mentioning the rascal, he was angry.
"Will he be okay?"
"It would be better if he died!" Wang Yisheng said.
"Are you stupid? If he died, this matter would have nothing to do with us!"
"Who can prove that it was because he ate the mutton? Besides, the mutton was cooked. There should be no problem."
In a dilapidated courtyard, there were two old houses that had not been repaired for a long time.
In the courtyard, a man in his 40s with disheveled hair and a dirty face was sitting in front of a broken table. It was square with two corners missing. On the table, there was a bottle of wine, a bag of spicy shredded vegetables, and a bag of pickled vegetables.
"There is wine today, let's get drunk today. Ah, little girl, don't go!"
Chen Jiagui's eyes were blurred. He was humming a song.
"Ah, uh."
He was an old bachelor in the village. He was a scoundrel in the village. He was a lazy eater. He stole chickens and dogs. He flirted with the women in the village. He was a good-for-nothing. He even angered his old mother to death. None of his relatives interacted with him. He was such a person, living alone.
Ah!
He sighed and took off the shabby clothes that he had not washed for many months. His chest was exposed. It was a chilly spring equinox.
He felt his body was a little hot. His eyes were a little blurry.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The figure was hunched over. His face was full of wrinkles. He had silver hair.
"Son, change it. After I leave, find someone to teach you."
"Tsk, he has been dead for so many years. How can he educate me?" He waved his hand disdainfully.
Gulp! Gulp! He drank two more mouthfuls of wine.
Tick! Tick! The loudspeaker began to broadcast.
What the hell is this?
Chen Zhou looked at the radio in his hand.
"Ah!" Chen Ying shook his head with a smile.
This old radio was originally placed here by the owner of the rented house. It looked like it had been there for a long time. Chen Zhou saw it yesterday and suddenly became interested. He wanted to find a way to fix it. He spent a day trying to fix it. As a result, it was able to produce the old sound.
Squeak! Squeak!
Then, it was a busy signal.
"That's it?"
"Okay, it's an old thing. The parts inside are probably old. No matter how you fix it, it will be fixed," Chen Ying said.
"I think it's good to listen to the radio. There are quite a lot of radio programs now, more than TV programs."
"If you like it, I'll take you to buy one in the afternoon."
