Chen Aiyang's eyesight is better than that of ordinary people. Others can only see a blurry shadow from such a long distance, but Chen Aiyang is different. He can vaguely identify the owner of the clothes.

He saw a wheelchair parked in front of the playground of the Chen brothers' house next door to Chen Aibing's mud-tiled house, with a silent old man sitting on it, looking toward the entrance of the village like him.

Two more hours passed like this, until the setting sun gradually set in the sky. A police car parked on the playground in front of the Chen brothers. Several figures got out of the car, including the two Chen brothers, plus One of the drivers was driving, and the remaining person turned out to be Deputy Director Jiang of the Kaoshan Town Police Station.

A few people exchanged pleasantries at the door and then entered the house.

Due to standing for too long, Chen Aiyang gradually felt uncomfortable, and finally had to sit on the dry soil slope. After waiting for another half an hour, he saw a tuk-tuk parked on the playground of Chen Aibing's home.

Chen Aiyang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and returned to the wooden house holding his waist.

When the sky was slightly dark, Chen Ai'e led Chen Aibing to the wooden house on the hillside. Chen Aibing's face was filled with anger and resentment, and he was the one who was shouting along the way.

Chen Ai'e was so tired that she lost all her strength due to her continuous journey.

Before he even entered the room, Chen Aibing shouted in a loud voice, "Third uncle, why did you have an affair with those bastards? I want him to go to jail."

Chen Aiyang's cold voice came through the living room, "What then?"

Chen Aibing's voice faltered, "Then this bitch will definitely be sentenced to jail."

Chen Aiyang said: "If he goes to jail, you will also go to jail. After he is released from jail, he will still go to work in the coal mine. If you are expelled from school, you will either go to work at the Southern Electronics Factory or farm in Chenjiadun. In two years, you may be poor. You can’t even find a wife. Now the two Chen brothers can bully you. In a few years, when their sons grow up, they can still bully you.”

"One day you two have an argument again and they beat you to the hospital again. Is this what you want?"

Chen Aiyang's voice did not contain any emotion, just like a tool telling facts.

Chen Aibing squatted on the steps at the door with his head sullen. He didn't know how to retort for a moment. After a while, he said: "Isn't my father's revenge not avenged?"

Chen Aiyang said: "Revenge requires strength, either a brain, money, or fists. Our ancestors said that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. What do you have now? If you don't have any of the three, you must at least learn to be patient."

This sentence once again blocked the words in Chen Aibing's voice.

He squatted for a while with his head down, then suddenly stood up and kicked the door frame, "I actively exercised in school. The teachers said that my physical fitness was very good. I was younger than his Chen brothers. If I were asked to hold a knife and They’re one-on-one and I’m sure I can replace one.”

Chen Aiyang once again shattered Chen Aibing's words mercilessly, "Then you are arrested and sentenced to prison for at least 15 years. The other one of the Chen brothers is still alive. He can raise the two children until you are released. The prison will be 40 years old, and when you are begging for food in the village, everyone will be disgusted with you, so the two descendants of their family will find a deserted place, trample you on the ground with their feet, and feed you dog shit."

These words that were cold and ruthless and in line with objective facts completely shattered Chen Aibing's last bit of stubbornness. With a pair of red eyes, he said angrily: "Is there no justice in this world?"

"Everyone in the village knows that it was the Chen brothers who killed my father in the coal mine, but no one sympathizes with us? Is he willing to help us?"

Chen Aiyang was silent for a while, then looked up at the darkening sky. His tone was no longer as cold as before, and he murmured: "What is justice? Justice is money, justice is strength, justice is connections. Without these, you don't deserve it." justice."

Chen Aibing still asked unwillingly: "Third uncle, can our old Chen family have to live in such a humble way?"

Chen Aiyang closed his eyes and said: "Forbearance, wait for the opportunity. What you lack most now is self-knowledge and time. You can wait until you graduate from college."

Chen Ai'e watched the uncle and nephew debate from the side and couldn't get a word in. In the end, just as she imagined, Chen Aibing was persuaded by Chen Aiyang.

Now there are only three people left in the entire old Chen family.

Only Chen Aiyang can persuade Chen Aibing.

At this time, the debate between the uncle and nephew was over, and Chen Ai'e found the opportunity to interject. She took out the handkerchief in her arms and handed it to Chen Aiyang, "Third uncle, there are more than 200 yuan left in it. I will give it back to you first. When Chen Aibing graduates from university, he will earn more." When I get the money, I will make up for today’s account.”

Chen Aiyang glanced at the handkerchief and kicked Chen Aibing with his foot. "The money will be used as travel expenses for him. He will rush back to school overnight. If you don't have anything to do, don't come back. Hurry up and leave."

"Remember my words, there is hope only when you are alive. What you lack most now is time."

Chapter 252

After Chen Ai'e and Chen Aibing left, tranquility returned to the hillside.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and a wisp of red cloud appeared on the horizon again, dyeing the western sky red. Chen Aiyang's peaceful state of mind was recently broken by people.

The first time was when Jiang Xiaoya came back and let him know that the useless eldest brother had stayed behind on Hong Kong Island, which gave him some comfort.

The second time was a private reconciliation between Chen Aibing and Chen Xiaohu. There was no mutual accountability. This was only a legal level. If the Chen brothers and Chen Aibing were given a chance, they would definitely kill each other with a knife.

Chen Aibing wanted to avenge his father's murder, and the Chen brothers wanted to avenge their father's physical disability. After Chen Jianguo ran away, this hatred naturally transferred to other members of the old Chen family.

Especially the family of the second eldest brother Chen Aiguo.

When the boss Chen Jianguo took action, the second brother Chen Aiguo was also on the side.

What's more, the two brothers' father is still here, and with his warning day and night, this hatred will only get deeper and deeper, and will not lessen as time goes by.

Chen Aiyang thought of the old man in a wheelchair he saw while looking out on the hillside during the day.

Chen Aiyang sighed and remained silent in the room for a long time. Finally, he picked up a stick of incense and slowly walked to the mound not far away alone.

This is Chen Jianguo's grave. He put incense in the soil and lit it. He sat cross-legged on the grass next to it, as if he had opened up a conversation box.

And the thread of memory also pulled him back decades ago.

At that time, his body was not as strong as Chen Aibing's, and he was not as old as Chen Aibing. He could only do some work at home, such as herding cattle and delivering meals.

The two elder brothers have become the mainstay of the family. They work in the fields together during the busy farming season, and during the slack farming season, they work in the coal mines in neighboring villages to support the family.

Chen Aiyang sat in front of the mound for about half an hour. When it got completely dark, he patted his butt and got up to prepare to go home and make dinner.

There was a sudden noise in the nearby grass, and several clever weasels appeared in front of him.

This time he didn't come empty-handed, but with some prey in his mouth.

One weasel held a male quail bird in its mouth, slightly larger than the male and female. The other weasel held a plump hare in its mouth, which weighed at least three kilograms. The big eyes looked at Chen Aiyang expectantly, only amusing him. .

Okay, there's hope for dinner.

By the time Chen Aiyang and a group of weasels finished dinner, it was completely dark.

On the other side, the Chen brothers' house also finished their dinner. The cups and plates on the table were in a mess, and two bottles of Beidacang wine were drank by several people. The feast was not officially over until the people from the police station were sent away.

The father of the Chen brothers had a dark face, looking at the woman at home who was clearing the wine table, and said to the two brothers in a deep voice: "Come in with me, I have something to say."

The three of them entered the bedroom on the first floor.

As soon as the door was closed, the noise outside gradually disappeared.

Father Chen took out a cigarette and lit it. The expression on his face became more and more gloomy. He asked, "How much did it cost this time?"

The two Chen brothers looked at each other, and the eldest brother, Chen Dahu, was the first to speak: "I withdrew ten thousand from the bank and gave it to Jiang. He is helping us manage it. I asked the lawyer in the county. If we don't manage it, this time we will forget it." The second child does not have to go to jail, but he will have to be held in a detention center for a week, and Chen Aibing will have to pay thousands of dollars in medical expenses."

"Instead of giving the money to a bastard like Chen Aibing, it would be better to give it to these officials."

Father Chen patted the wheelchair heavily and reprimanded: "I'm not worried about whether the money was worth it. What I'm worried about is that Xiaohu didn't handle this matter properly."

Chen Xiaohu retorted: "What did I do wrong this time? I almost gave this bastard a goosebump."

Chen's father said sinisterly: "It's good that you can provoke Chen Aibing's anger with your words and let him take action first. After all, he is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. He can't keep his temper and can't stand being provoked. But your If the stick doesn't hit the right place, it should be hit on the back of his head. It's best to hit him with a moderate concussion or a mental illness."

"Also, the time for you to stir up trouble is wrong. At dusk, it is when the villagers finish their work and go home. How can you take action when there are so many people? You are a fool."

Chen Xiaohu said harshly: "That little kid is at home today, why don't I come over again while no one sees him at night?"

Chen's father patted the wheelchair and cursed: "Idiot, your mother just saw Chen Aibing and rushed back to school overnight. There is no chance."

Father Chen's style changed and he said again: "But that beast Chen Jianguo is back."

The Chen brothers were shocked after hearing this, and they all urged: "Do you want me to go to the mine overnight to call a few more people? And then bring the cannon over? No, this guy is still a fugitive, we can just call the police directly. "

Youdao is the shadow of a famous tree. In Chen's father's generation, Chen Jianguo, who knew how to tan legs, was also the number one ruthless person in the surrounding villages. It was said that seven or eight people could not get close to him.

Even though they are now in their 60s and [-]s, the two Chen brothers were not sure they could take advantage of Chen Jianguo, so they panicked.

Father Chen rolled his eyes at them and reprimanded: "Is this all you have? Why are you panicking? Chen Jianguo is back, but he put it in an urn and was sent back by two young people who came back from Hong Kong Island. These two people have already After leaving, Chen Jianguo’s grave should be buried on the back hillside.”

"You two go dig out his ashes while it's dark and there's no one over there. I'm going to crush his bones and scatter them into ashes."

Father Chen's voice was full of viciousness.

The most vicious curse words in rural areas are nothing more than "cut off the descendants, destroy the bones and raise ashes" or "kill the household registration book". Chen's father not only scolded, but also did something about it. This shows that his hatred for Chen Jianguo himself and the old Chen family has already To the point of being indelible.

The Chen brothers looked at each other and asked, "What if we alarm the old bachelor on the hillside?"

Father Chen said with a pun: "As long as no one sees it, you can act according to the situation."

The amount of information in this sentence is a bit complicated.

Chen Xiaohu was still thinking about the meaning of his father's words, but Chen Dahu had already pulled him out of the room.

The two brothers searched around the house for a while. One of them picked up a shovel, and the other held a one-meter-long wooden stick. There was only one flashlight, which was held by Chen Dahu.

The reason why Chen Xiaohu loves to use wooden sticks is because he asked people at the police station in the early years that if he fights with people with knives and iron objects, he will be punished severely if he causes injuries.

If it is a wooden stick, the judgment is relatively light, and there are holes inside that can be exploited.

Chen Xiaohu remembered this sentence firmly. He was the one who beat Chen Aiyang with a wooden stick and gave him a concussion. He was also the one who used a wooden stick to injure Chen Aibing yesterday.

He can be called the number one thug in their family and an absolutely ruthless member of the surrounding generation.

In addition to these two attacks, Chen Xiaohu often used this wooden stick to teach other workers in the coal mine. The real identity of the Chen brothers is actually the partners of the coal mine boss. On the one hand, they want to prevent outside competitors from sending people over. To cause trouble, on the other hand, we must guard against rebellion by the workers below.

He is both the security chief and the supervisor.

The wooden stick in Chen Xiaohu's hand was thick at the front and thin at the back. The thinnest part was as big as a bottle cap. The thick end looked like the handle of a shovel, and it was stained with reddish-brown dried blood.

Over the years, the mallet in his hand has helped him achieve many meritorious deeds.

It also gave him the nickname Chen Bangchui.

The one with the mallet represents someone who is reckless and unreasonable, and does not strike lightly or harshly.

To others, the nickname "Bangchui" is a purely derogatory term, but in Chen Xiaohu's heart, it is a complete compliment. There are not many educated people in rural areas, especially in coal mines where lives are exchanged for money. It is difficult to reason with people. Sometimes it doesn't work.

Only money and interests, fists and mallets are the most convincing.

"Brother, let's go."

Chen Xiaohu took the lead and rushed ahead.

Over the years, he was able to save the day after several troubles in Chenjiadun. Chen Xiaohu lacked proper respect for the law in his heart. He cared more about the gratification of grudges, and the joy of hitting his opponent's head with a stick and making melon seeds bloom in a dyeing workshop.

If his father hadn't stopped him, he would have found a way to kill Chen Aibing.

In fact, it is not that there is no safe way to make Chen Aibing disappear from the world and eventually become part of the 'missing' population.

The two of them hurried forward in the dark so as not to disturb other villagers who were not yet asleep. They did not turn on the flashlight.

When we left the end of the village and went up the hillside, the surroundings were silent.

Chen Dahu then turned on the flashlight.

Chen Xiaohu asked in a low voice: "Brother, where do you think the grave of that old beast Chen Jianguo is buried? Our father only said it was on the hillside, so how can we find it? This hillside is huge."

Chen Dahu said: "Let's go look around the old bachelor's house first. The reason why he was not buried in the ancestral grave in Chenjiadun is because he definitely doesn't want us to know. I guessed that Chen Jianguo's grave is not far from the wooden house, so we searched around the wooden house. "

After a while, several people came to the front of the wooden house.

In the light of the flashlight, I could only see an old buffalo lying in front of the fenced yard, chewing its cud.

The old buffalo heard the noise and looked over according to the light of the flashlight, but made no move to get up.

The light of the flashlight swept across the yard and saw that the three wooden doors of the living room, kitchen and bedroom of the wooden house were tightly closed, and there was no movement inside.

Chen Xiaohu whispered: "This old dog is probably asleep."

Chen Dahu said, "Don't alert him, let's look around the surrounding area."

In order to save time, the two of them walked in two directions. Chen Dahu took a flashlight and went around to the back of the wooden house. A mile further up was the woods. The terrain here was high. He guessed that Chen Jianguo's tomb was most likely to be buried here. .

Chen Xiaohu went to the left side of the wooden house alone.

Although it was dark at this time, a crescent moon hung looming in the sky, and the ground was not completely black. The outline of the bushes on the ground could be vaguely seen.

They often played on this hillside when they were children. Apart from tripping over bushes, there were no other dangers.

In fact, it is not difficult to find Chen Jianguo’s grave. Below the wooden house is the mountain road that leads up. Generally, graves are not built below. On the right side of the wooden house is a steep slope, which is [-] or [-] degrees. At the bottom of the steep slope is Chenjiadun. There is no place to build a tomb here.

There are only two locations above and to the left of the wooden house.

After a while, Chen Xiaohu discovered a small dark soil slope. He bent down and groped for a moment with his fingers on the hillside. He found that what he had found was a piece of loose soil, and then he touched two sticks in front of the hillside. Burnt out incense.

Chen Xiaohu immediately stuck a stick on the slope and knew he had found the right place.

He raised his head to search and found that Chen Dahu was diagonally above him, about three or four hundred meters away from him. He could vaguely see a flashlight that was constantly shaking.

The shovel was still on Chen Dahu.

Chen Xiaohu was eager to achieve success and shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother, we found it, it's right here, come here quickly."

On the relatively quiet hillside, Chen Xiaohu's shouts could be heard far away.

Chen Dahu naturally heard it, and soon the two met here.

Chen Dahu stuck a shovel into the soil slope and said bitterly: "Is this the old dog's grave? He beat my father to a disability and suffered so much in the past few decades."
