I followed the people who were carrying the bodies, my steps heavy. The originally long and difficult mountain road made me feel like I wanted to walk a little longer for the first time...
An hour later, when we returned to Liucun, I found that many men, women, and children were already standing in the village.
Obviously, Uncle Liu was very popular in the village. As soon as his bad news came out, people in the village walked out of their homes one after another.
I looked up and saw that the people carrying the corpse in front had heavy expressions, and two or three of them turned back and stared at me with anger on their faces for a while, and then shouted to the surrounding villagers.
"It was this outsider who killed Uncle Liu!"
"That's right, he had a grudge against others, and Uncle Liu lost his life as a result..."
"Does he still have the nerve to come back? Huh, uncles and aunts, our Liujia Village has been rooted here for so many years. We can't let every person in Liujia Village die in vain..."
Sometimes, the words coming out of my mouth can be more turbulent than the waves on the sea. After a few simple words, I felt that the way the villagers looked at me changed.
The children looked timid, the adults looked angry, and the old people shook their heads and looked at me with disdain.
I feel all this with a heavy heart; if I can save the lives of Xiao Zhang Rui and others, I think I will do it even if I am hated by these villagers...
The corpses of Uncle Liu and Lao Zhangtou were quickly placed on three simple straw mats. According to the custom of Liujia Village, corpses are not allowed to enter the house after death. At present, the corpses of Uncle Liu and others are laid out like this.
In front of the dilapidated house.
The villagers had serious expressions, and the young people around me kept cursing at me.
I think if there hadn’t been butchers around, it wouldn’t be surprising that I would have been stoned to death by them right now...
Like a wooden figure, I knelt down beside the bodies of Uncle Liu and Lao Zhangtou.
I looked up and saw that even though most of their bodies were wrapped in straw mats, their bloody and bloody bodies and even the corroded skin could still be seen by other villagers.
Many timid women looked frightened, and one child was already crying.
Several young people quickly ran back to their respective houses and brought out a few straw mats and quilts, and then they were able to completely wrap the bodies of the three of them...
"Uncle Liu, I'm sorry." I kowtowed heavily to Uncle Liu's body.
"Uncle Zhang, thank you for sending me to Liucun so late. I'm sorry that I hurt you." I kowtowed to Old Zhangtou's body again.
Finally, I looked at the obviously much smaller body on the side, and my eyes were already moist.
I bit my lip. At this moment, my heart felt as uncomfortable as being cut by a knife.
"Little guy, it was my brother who harmed you. I'm sorry, my brother is useless..."
I also kowtowed to little Zhang Rui, but the next second, I saw a strong man walking towards me.
"Humph, you killed Uncle Liu, and you still have the nerve to pretend here?"
After saying that, the strong man punched me in the stomach!
I, who was still injured, staggered and fell to the ground.
The strong man was obviously still angry. He raised his fist and said to me: "Tell me, what are you here to do? If you don't tell me, I will kill you today to avenge Uncle Liu!"
I stood up with difficulty, wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, and said, "I came to Liucun with no ill intentions. I never wanted to harm anyone. I'm sorry..."
"Fuck, just say a few words and send me away? You have already killed Uncle Liu. If you are still here in Liucun, you will definitely kill more people!"
The strong man's face was filled with anger. He grabbed my clothes and swung his fists again!
At this moment, the butcher on the side spoke.
The butcher glanced at me and said, "Stop!"
"Uncle Tian, it was he who killed Uncle Liu!" the strong man said angrily.
"That's right, murder must be paid with life, and the person who harmed others must also pay the price. We can't let him walk out of Liucun so easily!" Others on the side also gathered around at this time, obviously not planning to let me go easily.
When I looked at this sturdy folk custom, a sad smile appeared at the corner of my mouth. I brought this on myself, no one else is to blame.
I was soft-hearted for a moment and harmed Uncle Liu and the others. No wonder the villagers were furious...
The butcher stood aside with a solemn expression and said, "Stop when I tell you to stop. Even if you beat him to death now, will your Uncle Liu be able to live?"
"But……"
The villagers were a little reluctant, but at this moment, I saw a woman's figure approaching from the corner of my eye.
"What are you doing? Bullying the minority when there are more people?"
A sharp voice sounded, and I saw the furious butcher's daughter push away several male villagers, and shouted at them with her hands on her hips: "You all love to bully strangers so much? When the town leaders usually come to inspect, why don't I see you acting like this?
Awesome? Go away, otherwise you will only know how to bully an injured person..."
The butcher's daughter was like a tigress at this time, protecting me with one stroke, which made me feel a little confused.
What happened to this woman?
Didn’t you hate me before? Why did she jump out to help me when I was under siege?
Some villagers pointed at me and shouted to the butcher’s daughter: “He killed Uncle Liu, we just want to teach him a lesson?”
"Lesson? Kill him? I just listened to it for a long time. Who saw him kill Uncle Liu with his own eyes? Is there anyone? Just because he said it himself, you assume that no one saw it with his own eyes? Then if I say that I still
I slept with you, will your mother-in-law believe it?"
As soon as the butcher's daughter said these words, the audience fell silent.
But the butcher on the side looked extremely ugly. His daughter said such unpleasant things, where could he, as a father, put his face?
But the butcher's daughter was not afraid of her father at all. She put her hands on her hips and scolded the villagers who wanted to teach me a lesson. Then she turned back to me and said, "You are promising? You dare to take on such a big thing before you are even healed."
?Are you out of your mind? What are you admitting to something you didn’t see with your own eyes?”
I stared at the woman in front of me, who had a pretty face and a good figure, and her chest moved up and down when she spoke. For a moment, I didn’t know what to say...
The butcher's daughter snorted coldly, then grabbed my hand and pulled me straight towards her home.
Before leaving, she turned back to the villagers and said: "I saved this man, and his life is mine. If you want someone, just come to me!"
After saying these words, the butcher's daughter half-pulled and half-dragged me back to her home without looking back...
Ten minutes later, I was sitting in the butcher's house, staring at the teacup on the table, motionless.
The butcher's daughter glanced at me and without saying a word picked up the remaining herbs from yesterday and a few willow branches placed aside.
"You haven't healed yet, so why go out and show off your strength? Those stinky men will beat you to death!" the butcher's daughter muttered.
I didn't speak, I just sat there numbly.
After a while, the butcher's daughter came up behind me and carefully took off the gauze from the wound on my back.
"The old ghost told you not to be emotional, didn't you listen? The poison has turned into pus again! Don't move, I will change your dressing..."
The butcher's daughter didn't wait for me to say yes. She quickly picked up a few herbs and stuffed them into her mouth to chew. Then she picked off the leaves from the willow branches, crushed them with her hands, and applied them to my wounds together with the chewed herbs.
superior.
The herbs were slightly cool, but those willow leaves clearly made me feel a burning pain.
"It will hurt a little. If you're a man, just bear with it." The butcher's daughter picked a few more willow leaves and quickly crushed them with her hands.
The violent pain in my shoulder hit me again. I gritted my teeth and remained silent despite the white hairs and sweat on my face.
"Yes, it's a man!"
The butcher's daughter re-bandaged my wound and continued: "The old ghost said that once you are in a bad mood, the wound will get worse. If you don't want to die, stay here. I'll see who dares to come in and ask for someone!"
"
After saying that, the butcher's daughter went to the kitchen to make food. I glanced at her back numbly, and felt a complicated feeling in my heart.
At this moment, a burst of sad and joyful sounds slowly came from outside the house.
I looked outside the room, clenching my hands into fists, and the figure of Han Yun already appeared in my mind.
I suddenly whispered: "Why did you do it..."
