When the supporting villagers entered the yard of San Pang's house, San Pang's family was crying with her son in her arms. Chu Qing sat on the ground with Xiaobao in her arms, using her body to support San Pang who was sitting on the other side of her.

Mother.

One bandit fell to the ground and howled, with a hatchet embedded in his ankle. Two more were lying on the ground, with bamboo tubes around their necks. The floor was covered in blood. Chu Qing and the three fat men also had blood on their faces and hands.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with the child?" Village Chief Zhang rushed in and rushed to San Pang's house. He thought something had happened to his sister's son because his sister was holding the child and howling fiercely.

"Wow...Brother..." The third fat man's face was covered with blood, snot and tears.

"Speak! What's wrong?!" Village Chief Zhang yelled, because he only saw that his nephew's face was pale, nothing serious, and the cry marks on his face were almost dry.

"Brother...I'm fine, it's just...it's just...it scared me to death!" The third fat man continued to howl.

Several other villagers gathered around Chu Qing and asked, while others looked at the corpse on the ground and the bandit with a hatchet on his foot.

The old lady had calmed down a bit and told everyone what happened.

The villagers who checked the corpses found that the two gangsters had died on a bamboo pipe. Combined with the old lady's account, they were shocked. Was Chu Qing the one who killed these people?!

Zhang Mingyu was also among them. He couldn't hold it back and asked, regardless of Chu Qing's extremely bad expression, "Sister-in-law Yuan, is this all your fault?"

Zhang Erni was following behind him, staring at Chu Qing with a surprised look on her face, and murmured: "No, it's impossible, right?"

Chu Qing was so exhausted that he really didn't have the energy to roll his eyes.

After taking a breath, she said to Zhang Erni: "Help the old lady back to the house. She was frightened. Thanks to the old lady for saving us two today."

Then he said to Zhang Mingyu: "Here, that one over there is alive and needs to be interrogated."

In the midst of everyone's surprised and uncertain eyes, Chu Qing struggled to pick up Xiaobao. Xiaobao's small body was shaking all the time. There was no trace of blood on his face, but he never cried, and there was no expression on his face.

Chu Qing carried Xiaobao back to her residence. She had no strength at all, and holding Xiaobao was like holding a mountain.

Finally reaching her utility room, Chu Qing couldn't rest. She went to the kitchen to get a kettle. The water in it was still warm. She locked the door of the utility room and poured water for Xiaobao to drink. Xiaobao wouldn't drink.

Then wash your face and hands.

The more water washed off Xiaobao's face, the more water there was.

"Bao, cry, cry loudly." Chu Qing's voice was trembling because she was also scared and wanted to cry.

But if the baby doesn't cry, big problems will occur.

Xiaobao just cried silently and couldn't stop it.

"Bao, cry, I'm crying with you, I'm scared too, but I'm so scared. This is my first time to kill someone, my first time..." As he said that, Chu Qing also burst into tears.

"Wow..." Xiaobao burst into tears!

This was the first time Chu Qing heard Xiaobao make a sound, but he burst into tears.

But my heart finally calmed down a bit, it was okay to cry, it was okay to cry. The mother-in-law hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Outside the door, Zhang Mingyu lowered his hand to knock on the door, turned around and left.

After a while, Chu Qing stopped crying and said to Xiaobao: "Okay, stop crying now and drink some water. People who cry too much will lack salt and become dehydrated."

Xiaobao was still shedding tears.

Chu Qing added: "Drink some water, and then you can help me with things."

Xiaobao stopped crying and drank water obediently. A large bowl of water was poured down, and Xiaobao calmed down a lot. He raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qing, waiting for help.

Chu Qing smiled. Chu Qing said: "I'll help you wash your face and hands first. After I've washed them for you, you can help me. We don't have a mirror, so you have to help me see if I've washed them clean. This blood is dirty, and the blood of bad guys is special."

dirty!"

Xiaobao nodded.

Chu Qing carefully washed Xiaobao's face and hands, blew his nose, and tied the little ball on top of his head again.

Xiaobao watched Chu Qing's face carefully, and kept tapping the blood splattered on Chu Qing's forehead and neck with his little finger until it was completely cleaned.

After changing Xiaobao's clothes so that no trace of blood could be seen on his body, Chu Qing could not do anything about it. For so many days, Chu Qing had not had the chance to buy clothes for himself to change. He could only wash them at night and wash them during the day.

wear.

Chu Qing thought he smelled of blood and was unwilling to continue stimulating Xiaobao's emotions, so he told Xiaobao to go to the kitchen and get him something to eat.

But Xiaobao followed him step by step, and kept his eyes on Chu Qing. Chu Qing knew Xiaobao's thoughts and was worried about himself, so he followed. Finding something to do would always distract Xiaobao.

In fact, Chu Qing really wanted to ask Xiaobao how he got from that family's house to San Pang's house. The door of that house was bolted from the inside and Xiaobao couldn't reach it. However, Chu Qing didn't know.

I am willing to let Xiaobao recall that bloody scene again.

Chu Qing wants to give Xiaobao a bowl of noodles, but there are no spicy strips to calm him down, so let’s use noodles.

There was not much flour, and Chu Qing was shaking the flour bag, trying to get all the flour out of the corners. There was a noise from the school gate.

It was Zhang Mingyu, Zhang Erni and Village Chief Wu's wife who came over. Behind them were many villagers.

Chu Qing didn't want them to disturb him at this time. These people didn't go home one by one and came here to watch the excitement!

Chu Qing's whole body was sore now. The big purple handprint on his neck stood out like a scarf. His throat was so sore that he was hoarse even when he spoke. His collarbone was fine and not broken, but his skin and flesh were torn, cracked by the stick and bleeding.

; The hard blow on the back caused the entire back to swell, and the pain made me sweat when I bent over.

She just wanted to take advantage of this forced mention to get Xiaobao something to eat and drink, and then hold Xiaobao to have a good rest.

But a large group of people, Wu Yangyang, entered the hospital.

Zhang Erni carried a basket on her arm. In the basket was a small pot of cooked noodles, a bowl of fried sauce, and two boiled eggs.

Village Chief Wu’s wife was holding a baggage.

Zhang Mingyu held two coarse porcelain bottles and jars in his hands.

Behind him were villagers watching the fun, from all three villages.

Zhang Erni stepped forward first: "Sister, I will bring you some food, so you and Xiaobao can nap." She handed the basket to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing was also hungry now. It was really hard work just now. He took it without being polite and said, "Sister, thank you."

If you call me sister, I will call you sister. Our relationship has improved by leaps and bounds than before. Although Chu Qing is several years younger than Zhang Erni.

"Mrs. Yuan, your uncle asked me to come and see you and Xiaobao. His ankle is sprained and he has promised to come back when he feels better. There are clothes here, washed and clean, that belong to my daughter-in-law. You two are about the same height.

Put it on and burn this one." The village chief's wife handed over the bundle.

It was exactly what I needed. Chu Qing took it and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

I can't speak hoarsely, and my throat really hurts.

Zhang Mingyu handed the bottles and jars in Zhang Erni's hands, and then said to Chu Qing: "Sister-in-law Yuan, what's in the bottle is for stopping bleeding, and what's in the jar is for removing blood stasis and reducing swelling. Let my sister do it for you later."

As soon as it’s done, I’ll leave first.”

Chu Qing nodded and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"It's all gone. Let others clean up. Don't disturb anyone!" Zhang Mingyu waved his hand.

People walked back and turned around to take a few more looks, hoping to see something new.

There were still two or three women from the village who were hesitant and didn't want to leave. Village Chief Wu's wife shouted: "Go home and clean up! Your house wasn't smashed, was it?"

The houses of these women were really not invaded by the bandits, because the houses were small and they were not taken seriously.

But the village chief's wife had spoken, and no one dared to stay.

The village chief's wife and Zhang Erni stayed behind, and they wanted to help Chu Qing organize it.

Chu Qing really had no strength at this time, so she left it to them.

In the small utility room, Zhang Erni helped Chu Qing clean his wounds, apply medicine, and help change clothes.

Chu Qing's predecessor had been working as a cook in a restaurant. She didn't need to be exposed to the wind and sun, and her skin was fair. However, the bump on her back was red, swollen, and the skin was shiny; there was no fat on the collarbone, so it didn't swell much.

, but the skin was bruised and cracked; the shoulders were swollen to a high height; and the pinch marks on the neck were even more shocking.

In fact, Xiaobao's side waist was also bruised from the blow he received from the bandit, and the skin on his legs was also bruised.

Village Chief Wu's wife and Zhang Erni could see clearly when they were helping to apply the medicine. They hissed while applying the medicine, as if they were the ones who were injured.

Xiaobao kept watching on the side, with tears in his eyes and his mouth pursed tightly.

After helping Chu Qing tidy up, they all left. They also saw that the two women were really tired.

After coaxing Xiaobao to eat a few mouthfuls of noodles, Chu Qing hugged him to sleep. He needed to replenish his physical strength.

The baby can't sleep.

Knowing that the child was still frightened, Chu Qing patted Xiaobao and talked to him:

"When my son was young, he didn't care about anything. He knew I was powerful, so he didn't worry about me. In fact, I'm quite timid. I'm scared of spiders and centipedes. The more legs I have, the more scared I am.

.You can say that I am afraid of things with many legs, but I am more afraid of things without legs, such as snakes. Ouch, when I think of that thing..." Chu Qing shivered, and goosebumps appeared all over her body.

Xiaobao clearly saw goosebumps all over Chu Qing's cheeks.

"But I'm a mother. If I'm afraid, shouldn't my son be afraid too? How can a timid man be a man? I just pretended not to be afraid. Once I even killed a bird whose name I didn't know with my own hands.

I picked the bug out of my son's hair and showed it to him in my hand, so that he wasn't afraid. You don't know that I was trembling at the time and really wanted to throw the bug away!"

Chu Qing muttered in a hoarse voice.

"But I discovered that Xiaobao is a man at such a young age. How old are you that you dare to fight against bad guys? If it weren't for you today, I would be dead."

Chu Qing patted Xiaobao's back, and Xiaobao slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I slept until dark.

Sleep is really the best medicine for healing. After Chu woke up, he felt that he was no longer afraid.

He reached out and touched Xiaobao's forehead. Fortunately, the child did not have a fever. It is really easy for such a big child to have a high fever out of fear.

Xiaobao moved and woke up. Chu Qing gave him water and asked him if he felt any pain. Xiaobao shook his head.

In fact, both of them had scratches on their hands and a lot of bruises on their legs. Chu Qing carried Xiao Bao to the latrine again.

The latrines of this era were very simple, with two boards forming a squat pit. Chu Qing was always worried that Xiaobao would fall in. He would always put a urine bucket in the house when he slept at night.

Mr. Xie and his old wife came back at this time. They went home after school last night.

Their home is more than 7 miles away from here. They have a rest today and have to go to school tomorrow, so they came back in the evening.
