madman and kidnapper

Chapter 18

Seeing that the woman's complexion was not very good-looking, the kidnapper hurriedly spread the mat on the kang, his eyes swept around the house with treacherous eyes, he slapped his forehead, pointed to the inner room and shouted:

"No, otherwise, there are several big boxes in that room, you can see where they are suitable for hiding..."

The kidnapper became "shorter" under the woman's stare, and his speech gradually fell silent.

The woman snorted coldly, turned around and went to the back room, and saw three large wooden boxes piled up in the corner, which she usually didn't pay attention to, but when she looked carefully at this time, those boxes looked as heavy as antiques, the woman I picked up a rag and wiped the box. The thick dust fell down, and the box showed its original color of pitch black. It’s just that it’s been a long time, and it looks a little old.

The woman touched the box with some hesitation, then turned her head and asked the kidnapper, "Your ancestors were landlords?"

The kidnapper was startled, as if frightened, he waved his hands indiscriminately: "How can that be!"

"Then your house..." The woman knocked on the big boxes with one hand.

"Oh, I'm not bragging. My father and mother used to be capable people, and they were all good farmers. My uncle was in the army before, and he said he was a lieutenant colonel..."

The more the kidnapper spoke, the more excited he became, and his saliva flew all over the place.

"Okay, okay, stop nagging, I'm asking about your box! I said something, I don't know what it means."

The woman interrupted him impatiently.

The kidnapper scratched his head: "I don't know about that, since I can remember these big boxes have been at my house, and I heard from my father that when they smashed things before, they even gave these boxes to the Tibetan mountain. What are you doing at home?"

The woman nodded, but didn't say anything else. She looked at the box and then at the abductee, stretched out her fingers and said, "lift the one on top, it's the right size."

"Hey!" Kidnap replied, rolled up his sleeves to carry the box.

As for those old logs that have been piled up in the corner for many years, the kidnapper just moved them, and the dust fell in pieces like snow, and the woman retreated a few times in disgust. step.

"Oh!"

The kidnappers had no strength in their hands, and if they didn't hold one of them, the whole box fell on the ground. The smashing of the box was fine, and it was strong, but the dust was blown out directly to the surroundings, just like an atomic bomb exploded.

"Die! You can do this with anything you carry!"

Unprepared, the woman was thrown all over her head and face, and she even ate a lot in her mouth. She scolded and went out to find water to rinse her mouth.

The kidnapper didn't dare to say anything, he just stared blankly at the box on the ground, his eyes were full of nostalgia, there was still a lock on this pitch-black box, the keyhole had rusted to death long ago, the kidnapper went out and touched the pliers and came back, "click" Broke the lock.

"Hey, with so many books, it seems that your parents were intellectuals before?"

The woman happened to come over and looked at the box full of books with novelty. Seeing that the box has been sealed for so many years, these books must be the same. Although they are all old books, they are not old at all. It's whole, not even a footer folded, which shows how much the owners of these books love them.

"Some belong to the two of them." Kidnap stroked those books fondly, without blinking his eyes, "Most of them belonged to me. I didn't just brag to you. Back then, there were only four of them in Murakami who went to take the college entrance examination." , I am one of them."

"Yo!" The woman was surprised from the bottom of her heart this time, "Did I underestimate you?"

The kidnapper couldn't tell whether the woman was really feeling emotional or teasing him. Anyway, he didn't care. He took out a book from the box and wrote "Chinese" on the cover. The kidnapper flipped through the book. The woman saw that he ignored her. Feeling so boring, I could only stretch my head to look, and saw that there were densely packed characters inside, although there was no shape, they were all neat and orderly.

The woman was really startled now. She turned her head and looked at the kidnapper carefully, and found that she had never carefully observed this old bachelor who had always presented the image of a rascal. He was covered in dust and his clothes could span four feet. Wearing it this season, the gray ragged padded jacket has holes in the east and west. Looking down, the ragged cotton shoes on the feet have "crocodile mouths", revealing the black big toes inside, and the inside of the toenails. full of mud...

The woman couldn't bear to look directly at her and turned her head, her stomach was churning a little, but the kidnapper didn't pay attention to the woman's thoughts, and became more and more fascinated by the old textbooks, maybe because he felt tired from standing, he simply sat on the ground with his legs crossed Standing up, holding the book in both hands, reading it with relish.

"What's the use of working so hard now? Why did you do it earlier? If you could get into a school at that time, why are you here now? At worst, you can be like Li Zhiwang."

The woman pushed away the abductor who was in the way, and vacated the books in the box, looking for a place to hide the money first.

I don’t know if it’s because the woman is strong or the kidnapper is sitting too loosely. The woman pushed the kidnapper to the ground with a seemingly casual push. Rubbed a bit.

The woman didn't expect to be able to push him like this, so she quickly turned her head to look at him, wanted to give him a hand but still didn't move, she just stood there and asked hesitantly:
"How can you be so boneless while sitting properly, no, is it all right?"

"It's okay, it's okay," the kidnapper quickly got up from the ground, first picked up the book and put it back, and then looked at his scratched hand. Although he rubbed the skin a little, there was a lot of dust on the ground, which directly stuck to the wound superior.

The woman naturally saw it, and felt uncomfortable. She bit her lips a few times, looking like she wanted to say something, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything after all.

Kidnap didn't take it seriously, brushed the ashes a few times, then grinned and said:

"It's okay, it's okay, you're right, if you say it's all fate, I think it wasn't me bragging at the beginning, not only in my village, even if you add up the students in the nearby villages, I'm definitely in the top few Yes, it's just Li Zhiwang's stupid head, I didn't blame him, at that time the villagers advised him not to read it, just marry a wife and go to work in the city, but that boy, plus there are people in the city, I was stunned to read it to the end, and I really let his mother's luck hit the shit. If you say that this is fate, he has it, so he can go to school if he is like a bear. I don't have that fate, so I learned It's no use being nice..."

The kidnapper put his hands behind his back, lowered his head, and scratched the ground with one foot, babbling in his mouth, the more he spoke, the lower his voice, and he was quite aggrieved, and he didn't know if he was telling the woman or comforting Own.

"That's what you say, let's brag. You say he is stupid, but he can pass the exam, which means that he works hard. You claim to be smart, but you can't even pass a stupid person. It's just what you think."

The woman hated his useless appearance the most, so she turned around and dumped the boxes, ignoring the nonsense man behind him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the kidnapper who had just been pushed to the ground and didn't get angry was instantly blown up like a firecracker. He stretched his neck and his face was flushed, but he still didn't dare to touch the woman. Blindly shouting at the top of his voice:

"I'm not bragging. The teachers in our school said that I would definitely pass the exam. At the beginning, the village was unwilling to provide for me. It was because my teachers begged from door to door to let me finish my studies. What did Li Zhiwang use? In the village, it’s either stealing chickens or touching dogs, or going to see someone’s little daughter-in-law take a bath. What kind of thing is that, but it depends on someone at home! I don’t believe he passed the exam! What books does he teach now? Misleading son, if he passed the exam by himself, I will twist my head off and use it as a urinal for you! Uh..."

The kidnapper became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder. The woman was not afraid that someone outside would hear it, but the voice was so loud that it made the woman's head buzz. She hurried up and covered the kidnapper's mouth, thinking to make him Stop and go.

"Okay! What's the use of saying this now? Do you think you'll be disadvantaged if you don't say a few more words? Or can someone fire Li Zhiwang?" The woman scolded, "No matter how he passed the exam, in short , that's all the energy of other people's family, it has nothing to do with you, why are you so excited? Stop yelling! It's giving me a headache!"

The kidnapper nodded, and didn't dare to do it again after the woman let go of her hand. He just lowered his head and muttered, still looking very unconvinced:
"What's the matter? Back then, my uncle was a well-known figure in the city, and I didn't even think about using his connections, but he, Li Zhiwang, was a shameless..."

The woman was smoked from his head, she couldn't bear it, she turned her head and glared:
"Who told you not to use it? Besides, did you use it? Even if you didn't go to school at the beginning, according to what you said, why didn't your uncle in the city help you? If you help a little, you can look like a bear now." Son? Don’t read any more, I’m not interested in what happened to your family before, if you have some free time, go and move the other two boxes out for me!”

The woman's words were like needles, every sentence pierced into the kidnapper's heart, making the kidnapper's heart sore and painful, he groaned twice, and finally shut up, dragging his shoes to help the woman drag the box, and then The lock clamp on the box came off.

The woman went over to open the boxes, and unexpectedly found that the two boxes were empty, with nothing in them. She expected that the kidnapper could not leave any good things behind, so the woman snorted coldly and glanced at the kidnapper lightly.

The frustrated lazy man sat next to the small box long ago, flipping through the books one by one like a baby, giggling at the notes inside from time to time, smacking his lips, as if he was remembering something .

The woman suddenly couldn't bear it, she walked over slowly, stood behind the kidnapper, looked at the neat notes on the book, finally couldn't hold back, and asked: "Your teacher helped you so much at the beginning, but you didn't pass the exam, He's not angry?"

The abductee who was still happy at first heard this, his back suddenly stiffened, and he didn't turn his head to look at the woman for a long time.

The woman regretted it, she felt as if she had asked a question that should not have been asked.

Just when the woman thought that the kidnapper would not answer, the kidnapper suddenly spoke, his voice was dry, like a "squeak" sound from a rusty axle.

He said: "My teacher felt that there was a problem with my grades, so he went to the city to help me check the papers, but he didn't say anything when he came back, and he was transferred away not long after."
