Chapter 17 The Evil of Man

Xiao Huang is dead.

Early in the morning, Wu Jiangshan asked Shitou's mother to take Shitou to the river to wash winter clothes and quilt covers, and asked Wu Fangfang to go out to pick mushrooms. He killed Xiao Huang at home alone.

When Wu Fangfang arrived home, Xiao Huang had already been gutted and skinned. She was so frightened that she scattered the mushrooms in the bag all over the floor.

Wu Jiangshan didn't care about that and ordered Wu Fangfang to wash the mushrooms and stew the meat, while he laid out the liquor and waited for the "distinguished guests" to come.

The so-called distinguished guest was actually Zhao Guoqing, the accountant from Xingouzitun in Huabei Township next door. He and Cao Lei's wife were related to each other. He was also here when Cao Lei got married and held a banquet earlier.

Zhao Guoqing has an older brother, Zhao Guohui, who is in his 40s and is a bachelor. When he was young, he climbed trees and picked pine cones and fell into a disability. He could barely take care of himself. He relied on the village and relatives for help to survive.

This person probably has a lot of ideas as he gets older. He can't get a wife but still thinks about having a child to take care of him until he is old.It happened that Zhao Guoqing saw Shitou while having a banquet at Sankeliu and heard about Wu Jiangshan's family, so he turned his attention to Shitou.

Zhao Guoqing came here to negotiate terms with Wu Jiangshan. To put it bluntly, he wanted to discuss how much money he would have to pay to take the stone away.

Wu Jiangshan was also afraid of scaring people away, so he didn't ask for much, so Zhao Guoqing Beier happily agreed.

The two chatted happily, drank a lot of wine, and ate too much meat. When the bottom of the first pot was seen with the naked eye, the stone came back.
Xiao Huang's skin was hanging on the stick outside. When he saw the skin and the dark red blood stains remaining in the corner of the yard, he immediately went crazy and rushed in to fight Wu Jiangshan.

As a child, there was no way he could compete with Wu Jiangshan. If Zhao Guoqing hadn't stopped him, he would have beat the drunken and confused Wu Jiangshan to death.

It was bad enough that his stepfather beat him half to death, but what was even worse was that his own mother beat him up again.

Shitou's biological mother is very strange. She doesn't recognize her son when she is crazy, but she doesn't treat Shitou well when she is clear-headed.

When Wu Jiangshan wanted to hit a rock, she was always the one to hand him the mallet, and she almost never stopped Wu Jiangshan from doing so.

This time Shitou's mother was sober. When she saw that Wu Jiangshan's arm was bitten off by a stone, she felt very distressed. She picked up a piece of firewood and started chipping away at the stone.

"Hey, if Fangfang hadn't jumped in to block him a few times, the child might have been beaten to death."

Finally, the aunt smacked her lips and said with a little heartache.

She was still a little overwhelmed.

Everything was going in a good direction, but why suddenly...
Stone!

Suddenly she got up and ran towards Wu Lao'er's house, with her brothers chasing after her.

There was no one in the yard, but there were a lot of people watching the commotion on the road, gathering together in groups, laughing and telling stories of other people's tragedies.

Dark red blood stains can still be seen in the messy yard, and Xiao Huang's skin is still hanging on the stick, cold and bloody, which makes people feel chilly.

"Jiu'er, the stone is not here, let's go back." Chang Wenxi blocked her sight with her hands to prevent this piece of blood from staining her world.

She pulled Chang Wenxi's hand away and tried to see through the open door to see if anyone was in the room.

Unable to see clearly, he shouted twice: "Is there anyone there?"

someone.

The figures in the room were shaking, and soon Wu Fangfang, whose clothes were stained with blood, walked out with a pale face and stood at the door, as if frightened by the onlookers, she cowered and did not dare to move forward.

She took Chang Wenxi's hand and walked into the courtyard and walked up to Wu Fangfang.

"Where's Stone? Is he okay?" The trembling voice was mixed with deep uneasiness and fear.

Wu Fangfang raised her eyelids and looked at the people outside, and whispered: "Come in and talk."

This was the first time she stepped into Wu Laoer's house, and the environment was worse than she thought.

The house was littered with clutter, and the smell was pungent. There were a lot of things scattered on the floor from the previous fight, and it was difficult to find a place to set foot.

Not having the time to look carefully, she asked about the stone again.

Wu Fangfang nervously grabbed the corner of her clothes, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "He was covered in blood. He was still alive when the villagers took him to the health center. It was the first time I saw them beat him so hard. They beat him so hard." I just want to beat him to death." His heart was about to surge out of his chest.

Shi Shi was seriously injured and his life and death are unknown.

Returning home in a daze, unable to eat or sleep, she kept thinking about one question: Did she do something wrong?
If I had not interacted with stones like before my rebirth, would what happened today not have happened?Xiao Huang is alive and well, and even if Shitou is still homeless and hungry, at least he won't be beaten so badly.
However, there is no if, things have already happened, and it is useless for her to reflect on it.

The next day, Chang Chunsheng brought back news from outside. Wu Jiangshan went to the police station, his wife went home, and Shitou was transferred to the county hospital. The details of the situation will have to wait.

"Then who is beside Shitou?" she asked Chang Chunsheng hurriedly.

Chang Chunsheng touched her head and sighed: "The women's director and a person from the village are alone. A bloody child was sent to the township health center. We can't stop it even if we want to."

Who would want to cover it up if people are going to die? !
Wu Jiangshan was released home three days later, and his life continued as before, as if nothing had happened.

She passed by Wu Lao'er's house several times, and Xiao Huang's skin was always hanging there. Someone asked Wu Jiangshan to take it off and he refused, as if he was declaring that he was the master of the family in this childish and nasty way.

The rain started to fall again, with no intention of stopping for a while.

After dinner, Chang Wenxi squatted beside the stove to roast potatoes. She came over quietly, made a silencing gesture before Chang Wenxi spoke, and then lowered her voice and said: "Brother, wait for me to do a favor to the gangsters." chant?"

Chang Wenxi imitated her and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

Later, she said her stomach hurt and she needed to poop. It was too dark outside and she was afraid to ask Chang Wenxi to accompany her.

The family had no doubt that he was there, so they secretly walked straight to Wu Lao'er's house wearing plastic sheets.

"What are you doing stealing this skin?" After all the help, Chang Wenxi still didn't know what she was thinking.

What do you think?
It's very complicated and I can't explain it clearly.

Anyway, I just felt uncomfortable seeing Xiao Huang's skin hanging here, so I wanted to take it off and put it away until the stone came back.
On a rainy day, there was no one around, and most of the houses in the village turned off their lights, so the leather theft went very smoothly.

After returning home, she wrapped the leather in a plastic sheet and hid it behind a pile of firewood in the backyard. She couldn't find it unless she deliberately pulled away the firewood, and it was no problem to hide it for ten and a half days.

Wu Jiangshan found that the leather was gone and stood at the door cursing for a long time. After cursing, he had no intention of looking for it.

A week later, Cao Xingwang and other village cadres took the stone back from the county hospital and sent it back to Wu Lao'er's home.

Shitou's hospital treatment cost a lot of money. The village helped advance the payment first, and Wu Jiangshan would have to pay it back later.

Afraid that he would default on his debt, he sent the stone back and asked him to write an IOU. He had to pay back a little every year, and if he didn't pay back, the land would be taken away. If he didn't like it, he would take away all the land now and let him drink from the northwest wind.

In addition, Cao Xingwang also forced him to write a letter of guarantee, promising not to hit stones again and let the stones grow up safely.

The fingerprints have been pressed, but who knows whether they are working or not.

"He almost stoned him to death. Is this the end of the matter?"

Although she already had the answer in her mind, she still asked Chang Chunsheng and Mo Lan angrily.

Moran gently stroked his round belly and sighed helplessly: "What can I do if I forget about it? The stone must have a place to stay."

"Let me tell you, life in Wu Lao'er's family might be better without Wu Lao'er. The eldest girl in his family is almost [-]. She can do any job. If she is diligent, she will definitely not die of hunger." Chang Chunsheng borrowed the light bulb. The dim light said while shaving in front of the mirror.

There is no Wu Laoer in Wu Laoer's family?

This statement is quite interesting.
