The shrill cries broke the deathly tranquility of the village.
Yuwen Chengchao rushed to the door first, followed closely by Qin Xiao and Han Yunong. In the dimness, they could only see a farmhouse diagonally opposite. A strong man was holding a cloth bag in his hand. It was unclear what was inside.
An old woman with disheveled hair was hugging one of the strong man's legs tightly, and it was the woman who made the ghostly howl.
"Please, just leave a mouthful." The lady cried, "She has just given birth to a child. It doesn't matter if she starves to death, but the child cannot starve to death. This is the last ration in the family, so leave a mouthful for them.
"
Only then did Qin Xiao realize that the bag carried by the strong man actually contained grain.
There was a woman at home who had just given birth to a child, and the rations were insufficient, but this strong man actually took away the last ration.
Qin Xiao suddenly became furious.
The bag is not big, only half a bag of grain. A strong man can eat it in one day if he opens it.
Qin Xiao also understood the reason from the old woman's words.
Yuwen Chengchao was already chivalrous. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help it. He clenched his fist and was about to step forward, but Qin Xiao had already grabbed his arm. At this time, he saw that more than a dozen people from the village had come over. The first person was standing in front of him.
He was the keeper of the banknotes he had previously owned.
When Yuwen Chengchao saw the villagers coming out to deal with the problem, he suppressed his anger.
However, this strong man looked like an ordinary villager. He was really bold when he broke into other people's homes to steal food. He thought that other villagers would definitely come out to help when they heard the cry.
The strong man was holding his legs, but he showed no mercy. He raised his foot and kicked the old woman very fiercely.
When he saw the security chief leading someone out, he thought he was going to teach the strong man who had snatched rations, but he actually scolded the old woman, and he suddenly couldn't understand.
But the old lady was already kneeling on the ground, pleading and begging: "Please do a good job and leave some food for the two of them. The wife is weak and the child is still young, so she has to eat."
The group of villagers came forward. The security guard waved his hand, but three strong men stepped forward and forcefully pulled the old woman away. The security guard said coldly to the old woman: "You are alive."
How can you be so ignorant when you are so old and have lived all your years on a dog?"
Qin Xiao was startled, a little stunned.
These villagers did not deal with the grain robbers, but instead scolded an old woman. The old woman clearly wanted to save some grain for her daughter-in-law and grandson, but she was scolded as selfish. The two of them became more and more confused.
Han Yunong did not follow him out.
"Damn old woman, you want to stay and eat by yourself, right?" A villager said angrily: "People like you should starve to death. You are selfish and have no compassion at all."
Yuwen Chengchao and Qin Xiao looked at each other, becoming more and more confused.
The chief security officer said coldly: "Your son is compassionate because he is doing good deeds for your Zhang family. You are committing a heinous crime by preventing him from doing good deeds. This village cannot tolerate people like you."
When Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao heard this, their expressions changed.
This village is weird and unusual. There was even a murder in the dilapidated house where he lived. Du Hongsheng was still in the house. Han Yunong was worried that the other party was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so he stood guard in front of the door to be on guard against anyone taking advantage of the situation and trying to kill Du Hongsheng.
The old woman just kept talking on the ground and begging.
Qin Xiao suddenly felt angry in his heart.
It would be fine if outsiders robbed the grain, but the strong man took his own grain and did not care about the life and death of his wife and children, and even beat his old mother. This is really worse than a beast, and this group of villagers was even more vicious. Not only did they fail to protect the old woman
, and even verbally abused him.
They originally thought that the strong man was entering the house to grab food, but then they realized that the strong man was not an outsider, but
The old woman's son.
This old woman is over sixty years old. If she is really driven out of the village on this cold winter day, she will definitely die.
Yu Wen Chengchao couldn't bear it any longer, stepped forward quickly, raised his hand and patted the strong man on the shoulder. The strong man was startled, turned his head, and saw Yu Wen Chengchao looking at him coldly, his eyes like knives, and his heart dropped.
To his surprise, other villagers also noticed Yu Wen Chengchao's sudden appearance, and they all stared at Yu Wen Chengchao in astonishment.
The strong man was even more proud to have the support of the villagers. He cursed at the old woman: "You old man, have you heard it? I am trying to accumulate virtue for the Zhang family and bring blessings to my descendants. You are only greedy for immediate gains. I am not like you."
Mother, get out of the village now and never come back."
As soon as he said this, other villagers said: "Get out of here, get out of the village."
With the support of the security chief, the strong man had the confidence to break free from Yu Wen Chengchao's hand and cursed: "What kind of bitch are you? When will it be your turn, a foreigner, to take care of our family's affairs?"
"What did you say?"
"Is she your mother?" Yu Wencheng glanced at the old woman on the ground: "Filial piety comes first. As a son of a man, you not only insulted and beat you, but also took away the family's food rations and watched your mother kneel down and beg.
And if you remain indifferent, are you still not a human being?"
The strong man felt the hand on his shoulder was so strong that it hurt. He was really a little scared, but he heard the security guard said coldly: "I have a message in advance. You can stay here for one night, but don't go out. Don't you know?"
"
The strong man scolded nothing else, but he first scolded Yu Wen Chengchao's mother, and then called himself Lao Tzu. How could Yu Wen Chengchao endure it?
His action was definitely not impulsive. This strong man was extremely indifferent to his family and was simply inhumane. Yu Wen Chengchao hated this kind of people from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to punch him, but the man insulted him. Yu Wen Chengchao naturally
I can't spare him.
"I said fuck you, when did I...!" The strong man said that he was outnumbered and spoke rudely. Before he could finish speaking, Yu Wen Chengchao had already punched the strong man in the face.
On the door, the strong man was immediately beaten and flew backwards, hitting a villager. The two of them hit the ground at the same time.
Although Yu Wen Chengchao did not use all his strength with this punch, he still hit the strong man until stars appeared in his eyes, his nose was broken, and his mouth and nose were bleeding.
The moment Yuwen Chengchao punched, Qin Xiao knew something was wrong, rushed to the mountain, raised his hand and said: "Don't be impulsive, it's just a misunderstanding. Don't hurt your harmony."
He was not worried that Yu Wen Chengchao would be injured by the villagers, but if the other party really took action, they would have to fight back. If they really wanted to fight, it would not be good to hurt these villagers.
"Good thief, he's taking action." A villager shouted: "Everyone is out, a dog thief has hurt someone."
With this shout, people were seen rushing out of many houses, all strong men in the village. Some were holding axes, some were holding kitchen knives, some were holding poles, and some were holding hoes, rushing towards them like wolves and tigers.
Yu Wen Chengchao sneered and said: "As the security chief, you are supposed to support good and eliminate evil. This man took the remaining rations in the family. You did not stop him, but instead defended him. You watched his family starve to death. What do you have to say?
Are you qualified to be this guardian?"
"It's not your turn as an outsider to dictate the affairs of this village." The security guard looked sinister: "You brought knives into the village and hurt people. I don't think you are escorts, but more like bandits. If we kill you, it will be just
Even if we kill a few bandits, the government won't ask us to blame them."
The villagers rushed over, and together with the people who had just come with the security chief, there were actually more than 30 people, all of them men. The older ones were over sixty years old, and the younger ones were only thirteen or fourteen years old. In an instant, two people were killed.
People gathered around.
The chief security officer was outnumbered and confident. He put his hands behind his back and looked at Qin Xiaodao: "Young man, when you enter the village, I will make it clear to you. Don't go out at night. If you really want to cause trouble, how many people in the village are there?"
People No. 10, you are asking for trouble."
The security chief looked at it coldly. Fortunately, no one took action. He just said in a cold voice: "I'll say it again, you can either leave the village now, or you can stay in the house. You are not allowed to go out before dawn. If you are seen again at night,
If you go out, they must be bandits, and we will definitely kill you. Remember this, you will really seek your own death when the time comes, but don’t blame me for not warning you in advance."
Qin Xiao nodded in agreement, and the two of them pulled Yu Wenchengchao back into the room and immediately closed the door.
The surrounding villagers are all fierce and menacing. Look at the formation. As long as the security chief gives the order, everyone will rush forward.
Yuwen Chengchao was about to speak, but Han Yunong's voice came from behind him: "Chief Security Officer, fellow villagers, I'm really sorry." In the voice, Han Yunong had already stepped forward: "My brother just drank a little wine, and he didn't mean to do it.
I hope you will forgive me for making things difficult for everyone." He came to hold Yu Wen Chengchao, and Qin Xiao also came to hold Yu Wen Chengchao's other arm. He laughed with him and withdrew from the crowd under the hostile gaze of the villagers.
Qin Xiao also said: "Most people are timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but look at these people just now, with their fierce eyes. If they really want to take action, these people will really fight to the end. Should we kill them then?"
They? If you don’t kill them, they will kill us.”
Yuwen Chengchao nodded slightly and whispered: "That man ignored his wife and children, even beat his mother, and took away the last remaining food in the family. Do you think he is crazy? And why did he take away the food?"
Yu Wencheng sat down, still angry, and whispered: "What the hell is this place? These villagers are so vicious and stupid."
"There must be something wrong in the village." Han Yunong sat down and said softly: "Don't you see, those villagers are very fierce, they are not ordinary people."
"The words of the security chief are very strange." Qin Xiao thought thoughtfully: "He said that the man took away the food to accumulate virtue. What does that mean? Taking away the rations regardless of his wife and children, what kind of virtue does it accumulate?"
Yuwen Chengchao said: "It's not just the Baozhang who said this. The villagers also seemed to think that it was right for the man to take away the remaining food at home. The old woman wanted to leave some food for her daughter-in-law and grandson. This was a good idea.
The heart, but in their words, becomes selfish, this... This is really strange."
"There's no rush." Han Yunong smiled faintly: "That person took away the food today. Something will definitely happen tonight. I want to see what secrets this village hides."
