Hei Wa rode a black horse towards Bailu Village. The moon had gone down and the stars were dim. He and his brothers had just finished a piece of work, like planting a ridge of wheat or harvesting a field of rice. Brothers
I used the horse to carry the grain back to the mountains, and I went to deliver a bag of grain to Xiao'e alone. There were no lights in the large villages and small villages I passed along the way, and occasionally there were a few dogs barking. The famine completely plunged Bailuyuan into a state of death.
It was so quiet that no matter whether the big village or the small village could no longer organize the manpower to patrol and protect the village, even if they broke into the house and robbed the rich family, the neighbors living next door to the east and west were too lazy to say anything even though they knew what was going on. Before entering Bailu Village,
Hei Wa first saw Bai Xing'er's house in Diao Zhuang. This Diao Zhuang was located at the outskirts of the crowded Bailu Village, just like Taiwan or Hainan Island outside the Chinese territory. He had a deep memory of Bai Xing'er's farm.
The breeding cow is extremely majestic. The two silver-gray horns on the cow's head are bent into two semicircles on both sides. The fleshy face under the neck hangs to the ground when it lowers its head. The gray donkey is as tall and round as a mule.
His rump was shiny and he jumped up when he saw the mare, and his shrill scream was very ear-piercing. The most attractive thing was the stallion, whose red mane was like a blooming pomegranate flower. He was then
You know, if a bull overwhelms a cow, the cow will give birth to a calf; if a stallion overwhelms a mare, the mare will also give birth to a foal; but if a donkey overwhelms a mare, the mare will give birth to neither a horse nor a donkey, but will give birth to a mule foal.
Every spring and autumn, large farmers and small farmers from far and near in Bailuyuan come to Diaozhuang with cows, donkeys or mares in heat. Bai Xing'er smiled and asked the customers to sit under the pergola to drink tea, and then
The female animal is led into a fence-like wooden frame. After the summer or autumn harvest every year, Bai Xing'er leads the breeding cow to the donkey or stallion, with a piece of red silk tied around its neck, and a golden copper ring tied under the red silk.
The villagers who had bred calves, colts, and mules heard the tinkling of bells and used wooden buckets to lift peas and pour them into Bai Xing'er's basket.
In the pocket on the back of the animal, there is no need to say a superfluous chatter; on the one hand, Bai Xing'er means to collect the accounts, and on the other hand, he means to praise the farm. He shows the heroic appearance of the breeding animals to the farmers who raise female animals in various villages, and his name is
Exaggerating the village, attracting more people to bring the female animals in heat to his village, is one of the most primitive and oldest forms of advertising... After Hei Wa had sex with White Peony or Black Peony in the village,
I always think of peeking into the secrets of Bai Xing'er's breeding farm when I was little.
Hei Wa was shocked when he drove his horse down the slow road at the east end of the village. He entered the kiln yard and jumped off the horse, but he couldn't see the familiar kiln door and window. The collapsed loess covered the original cave dwelling. He immediately got on his horse and returned.
He rushed to Bai Xing'er's farm in Diaozhuang. The farm where people used to live happily and horses barking was in a desolate state. The wooden fence designed to keep the unruly female animals in check has been destroyed. The farm was probably closed down. In the years of the Great Famine,
The livestock had long been sold by farmers for grain or sent to slaughterhouses to be sold for meat, and ghosts came to breed them. Heiwa tied the horse to a tree in the dark and knocked on Bai Xing'er's door. It took him a long time to hear Bai Xing'er's door.
Xing'er asked in panic at the door. Hei Wa said: "Brother, don't be afraid, I am Hei Wa. I just want to ask you one thing, you don't have to open the door. Where can my wife go to the kiln?"
It collapsed." Bai Xing'er hesitated for a moment and then opened the latch and said in a low voice: "Brother Heiwa, you really don't know until now." Heiwa was also anxious: "Please tell me what's going on.
What's going on?" Bai Xing'er said: "Your wife is being killed by others." Hei Wa was shocked, grabbed Bai Xing'er's thin shoulder blade and asked: "Tell me the truth who did the murder. Don't be afraid." Bai Xing'er
Hei Wa said, "I don't know. I didn't even catch a trace of you. I didn't find it until the smell came out of your kiln. Then I dug up the soil and sealed the kiln." Hei Wa added.
Question: "You really didn't hear a single word of Shaozong's words." Bai Xing'er shook his head repeatedly: "No, no..." Heiwa said fiercely: "Forget it, I won't bother you. I tied the horse to Chun.
You take care of the tree, I'll ride on it later..."
Hei Wa found Lu Zilin's disciples straight away. As soon as Bai Xing'er informed him of Xiao'e's murder, the first thing that came to his mind was Lu Zilin's face with deep eye sockets and a slender nose. He jumped up and grabbed her
He jumped from the wall and fell into the courtyard. After landing on his feet, he stabbed to death a black dog that jumped in front of his legs. There was no sound in the courtyard. He inserted the blade into the crack of the door and pushed open the wooden latch, entering the dark room.
He went to the landlord's house. Lu Zilin was sleeping soundly, and his mother-in-law was sleeping on her side with her back to him. With one knife strike, Lu Zilin might have died without even having a chance to open his eyes and recognize the person, Hei Wa thought.
Sitting on the Taishi chair, he touched the brass hookah, twisted a handful of shredded hookah and stuffed it into the chimney, and struck the fire sickle. The sound of flint woke up Lu Zilin. Lu Zilin said in a sticky voice: "You, you, you.
He is a bigger smoker than me." Lu Zilin regarded Hei Wa as his mother-in-law. Hei Wa smoked the hookah, blew out the fire paper and lit the oil lamp, and looked at Lu Zilin's stone on the jade pillow.
With his huge head, Lu Zilin probably touched the sleeping woman next to him and realized something was wrong. He stood up and asked: "Who are you?" Heiwa said: "I lit a lamp for you, why don't you do it?"
I can't recognize it clearly." When Lu Zilin secretly touched something under the pillow, Hei Wa said, "Don't touch it, don't touch it." Lu Zilin changed his tone and asked, "Hei Wa, who do I think..." Hei Wa said, "
I'm here to ask you something. It's up to you whether you say it or not. If you do something, your two moves won't be as good as mine. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. After we finish talking, we'll make things clear. You
Do you know why I came to ask you—" Lu Zilin put on his clothes and kicked off his trousers, then pushed the woman next to him to wake up, and told her to make tea. He turned around and said, "Old nephew, I know why you came here.
Yes. I have long expected that you will come looking for me one day." Hei Wa said: "Then don't be so nagging." Lu Zilin said: "Your wife was killed, and as soon as I heard about it, I thought of messing with me.
I'm in trouble. People will naturally think of you fighting against me. If you run away, I'll kill your woman to vent my anger. But no one can think of another level. If I want to kill Xiao'e, I might as well kill Zhaopeng. Who else can he compare to me?
The whole thing makes me even more sad. Besides, I am not afraid that your nephew will have a heart attack and you run away. Xiao'e came to me several times to cry and ask me to intercede with Mr. Tian to tolerate you. I am a soft-hearted person and cry whenever I see anyone crying.
I was relieved of my hatred and ran away. Although I didn't say goodbye to you, Mr. Tian finally forgave Xiao'e. I saw that she was a frightened woman, so Zhou Ji gave her a little food.
You also took the opportunity to smear shit and urine on my face with Hu Yangzhang. Think about it, how could I do it?" Hei Wa frowned and said, "I know your tongue is soft. If I can't think about it anymore, who can I think about?
You are the one who killed Xiao'e, what do you want to do?" Lu Zilin raised his chest and opened his eyes and said: "If your nephew wants to kill me, I can't help it; if you kill me for something else, I won't say anything; if you kill me for Xiao'e, I won't say anything.
Xiao'e killed me in revenge, and your nephew will regret it in the future. One day the matter will eventually be clarified. If you realize that it was not me who killed Xiao'e, you will regret it. If others do something wrong, you may not regret it, but you will.
Because you are a loyal and straight-tempered person..." Hei Wa was moved: "Did you hear who committed the murder?" Lu Zilin said, "This matter is about human life, and I don't dare to say anything without solid evidence.
I just want to make sure that I didn’t do anything wrong to your nephew. If you have real evidence to prove that it was me who committed the murder, I will put my neck under your knife and cut it for you.” Hei Wa said, “Okay then.
Now you go up to the kang and continue your sleep. I will come in and out from the same place, so as not to open or close the door." Lu Zilin said apologetically: "Then I will be rude if I don't send you off..."
After Hei Wa entered Bai Jiaxuan's bedroom, he was not as calm as he was at Lu Zilin's house. It wasn't because Lu Zilin was the only man at home in the Lu family, but the Bai family had strong hands and had to be on guard; he climbed up the wall, climbed the persimmon tree and fell into the courtyard.
At that moment, he sadly realized that the nervousness and cowardice he felt every time he entered this yard when he was mowing the grass for the Bai family as a child rose up in his heart again, and he could not control it. After eliminating Lu Zilin, one of the suspects, Heiwa was sure
The person who killed Xiao'e must be none other than Bai Jiaxuan. Bai Jiaxuan's reasons for wanting to get rid of Xiao'e were ten times stronger than Lu Zilin's. This person was also a cold and hard-headed person who could think and do everything at once without turning around.
Heart. He pulled Bai Jiaxuan out of bed, carried him under the bed like a chicken, and pressed the black gun barrel against his head. Bai Jiaxuan did not cry out or panic. He woke up from his dazed state.
After coming over and understanding what happened, Hei Wa frowned and said nothing, just wondering who the bandit was. Hei Wa said to Bai Wu who was wrapped in a quilt: "People in the light don't do secret things. You go."
Light the lamp, let's make it clear. I am Hei Wa——" Bai Wu groped in the dark to put on her clothes and pants, and lit the oil lamp: "Hei Wa, just go and get what you want. The money is in the kangtou box, the food
In the bag upstairs... put away the gun soon..." Bai Jiaxuan sneered and said to his wife: "Don't worry, don't worry. Hei Wa doesn't want your money or your food when he comes back, he's here specifically to take my head.
I understand that." Hei Wa said: "I understand, okay, just tell me clearly, it was you or who you assigned to kill my woman." Bai Jiaxuan said, "Then I will tell you clearly, I didn't kill her and I will not assign anyone else to kill her.
.I have never done anything in my life that involves sneaking around in the dark, you know that. I brushed your woman with a thorn brush when she broke the clan rules. I did it in front of everyone in the ancestral hall. The same goes for Xiaowen who broke the clan rules.
Punish her." Hei Wa said: "I am now convinced that it was you who committed this murder. I can't think of anyone in Bailu Village who could have committed this murder. I know why you killed her -" Bai Jiaxuan said: "Then just shoot her.
Anyway, I survived. You asked someone to break my waist last time, and then I just assumed that I was the one to survive." Heiwa asked: "Why do you say it was me who asked someone to interrupt you?
"Bai Jiaxuan said: "You have been dissatisfied with my waist since you were a child. Your brother said what you said before taking action, 'Your waist is too straight...'" Heiwa said: "This is
Really, I was scared and uncomfortable when I saw your waist when I was little. Your birthday is here, so I might as well explain this to you tonight." Suddenly a hoe flew into the door, and Hei Wa raised his hand and
It was separated. Hei Wa said to Xiao Wu who rushed in the door: "If you don't want to be the clan leader, come back." Bai Wu hugged Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu said: "You have something to say about letting my father go."
Tell me, kill, chop and come to me." Hei Wa sneered and said, "It's not your turn. I'll wait until you become the clan leader and see how you behave." Xiaowu said, "You must find a scapegoat."
I'll pay for your life. If you let go of my father, I'll be the one to kill her." Hei Wa said, "If you kill her, you mean you kill her. If you don't kill her, you don't kill her. How can it be considered that you want to kill her yourself?
Your father assigned you to kill him." Xiaowu said, "I wanted to kill him, no one assigned me." Heiwa said, "I don't believe it. I only believe it was your father who killed him. I will take his life."
Be honest and get out of here -" He shook his left hand and dragged Bai Jiaxuan to the door, where he ran into a man. The man said, "I killed him." Hei Wa recognized the voice and it was his father Lu San.
Standing in front of him, he blocked the door and said angrily but calmly: "Guisun, I killed that one." "This -" Hei Wa was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't disturb it." "I killed it.
." Lu San looked at his son more calmly and said, "Let go of Jiaxuan. If you talk to me, it's up to you to kill him." "Don't talk nonsense." Bai Jiaxuan suddenly raised his head and stared at Lu San.
Said, "You wanted to rescue me and deliberately took the blame on you. You wiped the shit evenly instead of wiping it clean." Lu San didn't say anything, and raised his right hand hanging by the side of his leg. It was a rag wrapped in cloth.
He then used his left hand to tear open the layers of rags. The steel blade of a spear suddenly appeared in the light of the oil lamp. He put the steel blade of the spear at Hei Wa's feet and said, "Take this.
Physical evidence.”
Bai Jiaxuan, Bai Wu family, Bai Xiaowu, Bai Xiaoyi of Bai Zhao family, and the second sister of Xiaowu's daughter-in-law, who came after hearing the news, crowded outside the door. They looked at the steel spear blade that Lu San dropped at Hei Wa's feet in shock. Hei Wa let go of his grip.
Lifting his left hand on Bai Jiaxuan's shoulder blade, he picked up the steel spear blade from the ground. His eyes suddenly went dark, and there was a loud bang in his head. This double-edged steel spear blade with a sharp tip was no stranger. It turned out to be equipped with a mulberry stick that was more than ten feet long.
The handle is an ancestral weapon; the blood stains on the steel blade have turned black and purple, covering the originally shiny blade. This is unquestionable physical evidence of the murder weapon. Hei Wa raised his head and looked at his father, this unexpected ending
He fell into panic and couldn't say a word. Lu San said: "She has harmed too many people, and we can't ask her to harm others again." He puffed up his chest and said, "I saved the spear for preparation."
The government is asking, but you came first. Here - stab me in the chest." Hei Wa's cheek bones twisted, he lowered his head again, picked up the piece of rag from the ground, and wrapped it around the spear blade again.
, stuffed it into his waist and said: "I will call you Da for the last time. From today on, I will not recognize you..." Lu San said: "Guisun, please don't call me Da. I have not recognized you for a long time."
"
Hei Wa came out of Bai Jiaxuan's house and rushed to Bai Xing'er's dilapidated farm in Diaozhuang. He unhooked the horse from the tree, turned over and rode on it. Bai Xing'er slipped out of the shadow and said: "Brother, please leave quickly. Brother, don't give me anything."
People say they tied horses here..." Hei Wa had already galloped away. He re-entered Bailu Village, turned his horse's head and came to the door of the ancestral hall that had been the headquarters of the Agricultural Cooperative Association in the center of the village. He fired three shots in a row.
The sound of gunshots shook the dead night sky. He then rode through the village alley to the slow road, reined up the horse and stood in the kiln yard, fired three more shots into the sky, lowered his arms in silence for a moment, then suddenly turned around and urged the horse to gallop forward.
Slowly. The moment he turned his back to the cave dwelling and the village, a sigh came out of his heart: I will never enter Bailu Village again until I die.
