madman and kidnapper

Chapter 51
"Actually, he's not called a kidnapper. He used to have his own name, which sounds nice. It was given by his parents, and his name is Li Chengyuan," Aunt Li whispered to the woman while twisting her clothes, "So he Dad wanted to call him Li Chengyuan, because he had a great future, but his mother didn't like it later, because she was afraid that her son would not be able to come back if he went far in the future, and hoped that he would be able to recite his own roots, so he changed the word "source" to drink water and think of the source. His parents are cultural people, so the names they gave are interesting."

The woman raised her eyebrows in surprise, expressing affirmation of the name on her expression, thinking about her son's great future and thinking about the source, his parents also think long-term, it seems that the kidnapper didn't lie to him, his parents are indeed educated people.

Aunt Li's thick arms were very strong, and she wrung the clothes dry in two or three strokes. She stood up, took a few steps towards the clothesline with a basin in her hands, and started to wear clothes. Hanging the clothes up to dry one by one, even if the hands are moving, the mouth does not delay the conversation, still telling the woman the past like a story, perhaps thinking that there is nothing to hide about this matter, her family The old man was only angry for a while, and Aunt Li's voice simply got louder:

"Actually, when he was young, everyone cared about him. Even if he was born lame, at least no one dared to tease him at home. First of all, he was smart when he was young, and he was much more enlightened than those nimble boys. Secondly, his parents are capable people, they manage the house in an orderly manner, and they will not let others bully them at all, so before his parents left, he lived like the young master in the old days."

"Yo." The woman sighed in a timely manner, feeling amused in her heart, just looking at that old thing now, it really doesn't look like "Young Master" at all.

"He blamed my old man, and I think it's right to blame him. Although we don't want to blame ourselves, if there is no reason, there will be no such result, right?"

Aunt Li shook off her clothes, shaking off all the creases.

The woman saw sharply that the village chief moved on the kang.

"I've heard him say this a few times, but every time he said it was to save your boy...Of course, this is just his one-sided statement, and I just listened to it."

Seeing Aunt Li's face suddenly become a little more uncomfortable, the woman realized that she had said something wrong, so she quickly gave up some leeway.

"Indeed, what he said is right. My son was about his age. One night, I was sitting in the yard playing, and I didn't know whether it was carried away by someone or a wolf. There was only one pair of shoes left in the house. When my old man heard that his son was gone, he hurriedly asked the people in the village to help him find it everywhere. Although there are roads in the village now, there were no roads in the past. They were all small dirt roads. The whole village had to go through the mountains, and everyone couldn't find anyone in the village, so they called more people to go to the mountains to have a look, and his father was the second group to follow."

The village head in the room suddenly coughed heavily, he slowly sat up from the kang, then slowly got off the ground, and entered the back room without saying a word, away from the sight of the woman and Aunt Li.

"Oh," Aunt Li naturally saw it, she sighed slightly, and sat back beside the woman, "Look, the old man can't get over this hurdle, let alone that kid thinks so, even the old man himself I also feel in my heart that it is he who ruined the family."

The woman didn't know the reason, but she also thought the same in her heart, so she didn't go to comfort Aunt Li, but she was a little puzzled:

"Then they went up the mountain together, why was his father killed by a wolf? Didn't anyone else watch?"

"No," Aunt Li shook her head, "If his father was really bitten by a wolf at that time, then we must have to deal with it, and there is nothing to talk about, but there were so many people going up the mountain at that time. Well, the wolves don't dare to come out, they must have hid in the stone caves, after they found my boy in a haystack, they all went down the mountain to greet them."

"Then what?" The woman was surprised, "They all went down the mountain? Why is his father still on the top?"

"No," Aunt Li shook her head, "He came down with the villagers, and when he came down, he was holding two wolf cubs in his hands."

"Wolf cub?"

The woman let out a low cry, thinking how could anyone dare to touch such a thing?It is said that wolves are the most vengeful, and took their cubs for no reason, so why should the female wolf chase after them?
"So the wolf followed?" The woman thought of this possibility.

"No," Aunt Li looked up at the sky, with an inexplicable expression on her face, "There are so many people, wolves dare not follow."

"That……"

Countless thoughts continued to swirl in the woman's mind.

Aunt Li didn't want to play tricks on her, so she continued on her own:
"His father only took two of them and planned to sell them to those lame doctors who made medicinal materials. I don't know who told him that wolves usually give birth to at least four or five cubs, so he just took two of them. Come down, there must be a few hidden in the nest..."

"So his father went up the mountain to find the remaining wolf cubs?"

The woman couldn't hold back, her voice became louder unconsciously, she couldn't understand, people's greed is really so terrifying, how can they waste their lives just for that little money?
"Isn't that right? He still smelled of wolf cubs on his hands, and he didn't listen to anyone's advice. He pretended to go back to the village with the others, then turned around and carried the dung fork back to the mountain by himself. The kidnapper and his mother are at home." I waited all night and didn't see anyone. I thought everyone was looking for it on the mountain. Early the next morning, I saw that everyone in the village was getting ready to go to work in the field. There was no sign of his father. Knowing that something happened, I hurried to the mountain to find him..."

"Look, did you find it?" As soon as the woman said that, she felt that she had asked a stupid question.

That's all for the sake of it, it would be nice to find a whole body.

Aunt Li suddenly covered her face with her hands, lowered her head, and panted silently. The woman understood that the scene at that time must be unacceptably cruel.

"Then, so what the hell?" The woman knew it was best to stop this topic, but she still couldn't help asking.

When Aunt Li raised her head again, she was already in tears. She didn't know whether it was because of guilt or regret, or some other emotion. She rubbed her face vigorously with the palm of her hand, wiping away all the tears, but her eyes were still moist. glowing red.

"At that time his mother was looking at that place..." Aunt Li still chose to glance at the cruel scene, "At that time, she was limp on the ground, and the two elders couldn't help his mother up. The old man was also full of pain, thinking that he had harmed his father, so he personally... packed up his father and took him down the mountain. She followed behind in a trance, and didn't let anyone help her or even touch her. She just kept pushing people away. Everyone was worried about her and afraid of arousing her, so they could only look back from time to time. Seeing that she was just following in a daze, everyone was more or less relieved..."

When the woman heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She knew intuitively that something was going to happen. Sure enough, Aunt Li swallowed a few times, and gradually lowered her voice:

"Later, I don't know when. When someone looked back, they stopped looking at his mother. At that time, everyone happened to be walking on the edge of a cliff. Although it was not very dangerous, his mother didn't know Why did you get lost, by the time we found her, she was already out of breath..."

"Ugh……"

This sigh was made by a woman. After listening to it for a long time, she felt like she was listening to a tragic story. This kind of tragedy like a TV series should have aroused countless emotions from the listeners, but the woman couldn't say anything. come out.

She knew the past between the kidnapper and the village head, and their knots, but she still couldn't make a decision on the conflict between them.

Can the village chief be blamed for this matter? Obviously not, everyone has already gone down the mountain, but greed makes the kidnapper's father return to the mountain like a ghost. It has nothing to do with the village chief. If the village chief's son is not lost, then what happened that night will be gone. The kidnapper's parents may still be alive and well, and the kidnapper must not be the rascal he is now.

It is reasonable for the village chief not to want to take on everything. The kidnapper blamed the village chief for this matter, and women can understand it. One wants to escape guilt, and the other wants to vent her pain. No one can resist this reason. Then this matter can only continue unresolved.

Aunt Li seems to have something to say, as if the things between the two of them are far more than that, but a story of a broken family is obviously enough to make a woman's heart tremble. At this time, both Aunt Li and the woman feel that the topic should be That's it.
