Chapter 1398: A strange knife appears in the gangster village
The air gun must have been touched by someone, and it has a foul smell.
These days, the main reason for poor sanitary conditions is the difficulty in obtaining water.
There is definitely no running water in forest areas and rural areas. Even in the county towns and towns at the foot of the mountain, most households do not have access to running water.
Water is for purity, without water there is no way to maintain personal hygiene.
Yong'antun is the family quarters for forestry workers. Most of the families there have stable jobs and their living conditions are pretty good.
When the family quarters were divided up, they all collectively hired a well-drilling team, and two or three families would dig a pressurized well for shared use.
Therefore, it is not too difficult to get water in Yong'antun.
But it’s different in Mangliutun. If they want water, they have to fetch it from the riverside.
Carrying water is hard work. It takes three trips to fill a large vat with two tips of water each time.
It was better in other seasons, as we could go to the river to wash and rinse our clothes. But in winter, when it was freezing cold, it was even harder to use water.
Water is collected every few days and filled into a tank. Then this water can be used for cooking for a few days, but it can be used for washing.
I'm not trying to be mean, but these hooligans not only have lice on their bodies, some of them don't wash their faces for days.
The key is that some of them also raise chickens and pigs, just like Zhang Lifei, who goes to the mountains in spring to catch wild boars and bring them home to raise.
Raising livestock, the smell is really strong. The pigs roll around in the pen, covered in shit, urine and mud. People touch the pigs, go back and wash their hands with soap, and even after washing three times, they still stink.
Chickens and ducks are slightly cleaner than pigs, but the chicken coops are not much better.
If you have easy access to water at home and there is a pressurized well in the yard, it will be no problem to wash your hands.
But it is difficult for hooligans to get water, so there is nothing they can do even if they want to keep it clean.
This is also the reason why Zhang Lifei was unwilling to enter the Zhao family when he arrived.
The gun had a foul smell, and Zhao Youcai knew it must have come from a family that raised wild boars.
Moreover, he had smelled this smell this morning. That rogue Chen had this smell on him.
In fact, Chen Jinmin had never touched the gun, but Hu Zhonghou lived in the Chen family for a few days. In order to prevent the Chen family from chasing him away, he helped the Chen family feed the wild boars.
The little pig picked up in the spring has grown to nearly 100 kilograms after being castrated. Its butt is extremely fat. Hu Zhonghou still wants to stay in Chen's house and wait for the New Year to slaughter the pig.
After hearing from Zhao Youcai that the thief who robbed his house was Chen Mangliuzi from Mangliu Village, Zhao Guofeng confirmed with him again and said, "Youcai, this matter must be done correctly."
"Sure, Guofeng." Zhao Youcai said, "Today he brought a bunch of yellow leaves to my house to sell."
"Isn't this the right time?" Ma Dafu said this. As soon as he finished speaking, Han Dachun shouted, "Fuck you, he stole from our village. Let's beat him up!"
Han Dachun said this on behalf of Zhao Youcai. It was pitch dark and it was the late night. Who would want to go outside?
What's more, the Zhao family has been a bit "out of touch with the masses" in the past six months, and their good life has made many people jealous.
But jealousy cannot be brought out into the open. As long as it hasn't come to the point of falling out, if we live in the same village and something happens to someone else's family, we have to get involved.
When Han Dachun shouted this, everyone responded.
"I want to thank all the relatives in our village!" Zhao Youcai clasped his hands and turned to the crowd and said, "It's the middle of the night, thank you all for your hard work!"
"Youcai, you are too polite!" Ma Dafu said, "If he can steal from your house today, he can steal from our house tomorrow. If we don't catch him, who will be able to sleep well in the future?"
Ma Dafu's words are actually untenable. Whose family has anything worth stealing? It is because the Zhao family has money and goods that they attract thieves.
But for a moment, everyone didn't react and believed what Ma Dafu said.
Zhao Youcai clasped his fists again, thanked everyone, and then suggested that everyone go back to his home and take a Jiefang truck to chase the thieves away.
Everyone was walking towards Zhao's house. On the way, someone asked Zhao Youcai, "Second brother, you have so many dogs at home, how come they were stolen by thieves?"
When they heard this question, Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai didn't know why.
The father and the other boy listened, their dog did bark, but it must have been too late. Otherwise, the barn would not have been robbed.
The father and son of the Zhao family didn't say anything. Li Dayong pointed at Hei Hu who was following Zhao Jun and said, "Shouldn't our dogs chase them out?"
"Hey? This dog is really fat?" At this time, someone looked at Hei Hu's big butt and asked, "Zhao Jun, how much does this dog weigh?"
"It's less than one hundred and thirty." Zhao Jun looked down at Heihu. Heihu exhaled and looked up to respond to Zhao Jun.
"This dog is heavier than me." One person said in a sly voice, "I want to bite someone, but I will be bitten to death."
"We are hunting dogs." Zhao Youcai said, "We are kind and not so biting."
As he spoke, Zhao Youcai raised his hand and swung it forward, saying, "If any of you come to my house, will this dog bite you to death?"
What Zhao Youcai said was true. Few hunting dogs were annoying, and no hunting dog would attack people. The so-called guarding was just barking a few times to remind the owner.
Even if they are free-range, the dog cannot just pounce on and bite a stranger who comes in.
Today, Hei Hu chased Hu Zhonghou because he left Zhao's house carrying something. But even so, Hei Hu did not kill him.
Fifty or sixty people walked towards Zhao's house. As they walked, only about forty people were left when they arrived.
Zhao Youcai ran into the house, took out a pack of Shilin, opened them one by one, and sent out five packs in an instant.
The remaining five packets were kept for distribution after the war, and then Zhao Jun drove the car himself, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Guofeng squeezed into the passenger seat, and the others got into the trunk.
More than forty people headed straight for Mangliutun.
The car drove out of the east end of the village. Zhao Jun, who was driving, asked Zhao Youcai, "Dad, do you know where that scoundrel Chen lives?"
"I don't know." Zhao Youcai said, "Go to your uncle Zhang's house and find your uncle Zhang."
"Okay!" Zhao Jun stepped on the accelerator and the car drove all the way into Mangliutun.
He came in from the south of the village, and the third house he entered was Zhang Lifu's. When Zhao Youcai pushed the door of the car and got out, and knocked on the window and called Zhang Lifu, Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou just happened to enter from the west of the village.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Zhang Lifeu asked while stretching out his sleeves. He knew that Zhao Youcai must have had something serious when he came to see him so late at night, as he hadn't even put on his clothes yet.
"Sixth Brother, let me ask you something." Zhao Youcai said, "There is a rogue called Chen in your village..."
At this point, Zhao Youcai paused for a moment, then continued, "That year, we went up the mountain to hunt roe deer. On our way back down the mountain, we ran into an old man. He helped me pull the roe deer, and I gave him a roe deer thigh."
"Ah, ah!" Zhang Life recalled and said hurriedly, "Chen Jinmin!"
"Let's go!" Zhao Youcai raised his hand, gestured outside the yard, and said, "Take us to his house."
Zhang Life and Zhao Youcai walked out of the yard and saw a group of people hustling in the back of a Jiefang truck.
"What's going on, second brother?" Zhang Lifu asked. Zhao Youcai said, "Fuck you, someone stole something from my warehouse!"
"Ah?" Zhang Lifeu was shocked. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly trotted ahead to lead the way.
He lived in the same village as Chen Jinmin, and their relationship wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad either. But compared to Zhao Youcai, Zhang Lifu decisively chose to stand with his second brother.
……
"Oh, oh, we're home!" At this time Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou were running towards Chen's house.
The two men ran all the way back from Yong'antun, their trouser pockets full of sweat. As a result, their cotton trousers stuck to their bodies and they couldn't move their legs.
The two men were looking at the Chen family's fence in front of them, when suddenly a Liberation truck turned from the intersection ahead.
The beam of light from the car lights swept towards the two of them, causing Hu Zhonghou and Chen Jinmin to turn their faces away and cover their eyes with their hands.
"Chen Jinmin!" Zhang Lifeu flashed out from beside the car, pointed at Chen Jinmin and shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Big tongue?" Chen Jinmin was stunned, and then he saw a group of people rushing up from the Jiefang car.
"Oh my god!" Chen Jinmin saw that things were not going well and yelled, "Run!"
But when he turned around, he saw Hu Zhonghou had already run to the west with an air gun on his back.
Hu Zhonghou had been stealing for many years, so he had experience. When he saw that things were not going well, he ran away.
Chen Jinmin didn't hate Hu Zhonghou for abandoning him and running away. The big sacks they carried back were hidden in the elm forest outside the village by the two men. At this time, the only dirty thing left was the air gun. As long as Hu Zhonghou was not caught, the two men would die without any evidence.
Thinking of the air gun, Chen Jinmin couldn't help but blame Hu Zhonghou in his heart. Before entering the village, Chen Jinmin said that he would not carry the gun home, but hide it with the big sack in the elm forest. But Hu Zhonghou refused to do so and insisted on taking it back to cherish it for two days.
This is also a guy who likes guns.
Just as Chen Jinmin was daydreaming, a gust of wind blew past him, and a tall man ran after Hu Zhonghou like the wind.
Immediately afterwards, a sound of footsteps reached Chen Jinmin's ears, and then he was kicked in the lower back and fell to the ground.
"Beat him!" Zhao Youcai shouted, "Beat him to death."
"Hey? That won't do!" Zhao Jun shouted hurriedly. Chen Jinmin had stolen something and made a mistake, but he wouldn't be killed even if he was sent to the government office. When the gang came, they all took sticks from the Zhao family's firewood pile and beat him up. If he died, Zhao Youcai would have to face the lawsuit.
"Get out of my way!" Zhao Youcai pulled Zhao Jun away and hit Chen Jinmin with a stick.
Chen Jinmin curled up on the ground with his hands covering his head, relying only on his thick cotton jacket and trousers for the winter, and the sticks hit him with clanging sounds.
"It's okay, Jun!" Zhao Guofeng raised his hand and pointed in the direction where Li Baoyu left, and said loudly to Zhao Jun: "Hurry up and chase Baoyu away, I'll watch over here!"
Zhao Guofeng was the village chief, and he must have had something in mind when he said this. And when Chen Jinmin really couldn't stand it anymore, he just needed to say a word, and the people in Yong'an Village would stop.
At this time, more than a dozen people formed a circle and kicked and beat Chen Jinmin. The rest of the people did not rush up, but followed Zhao Jun and ran westward to chase.
Zhao Jun had just run a few steps when he heard Zhao Guofeng's voice behind him: "Alright, alright, stop fighting, and beat him up!"
Zhao Jun and his men ran to the intersection ahead and stopped, then they heard shouting and cursing coming from the north.
The crowd turned north and after a few steps, they saw Li Baoyu riding on a man and hitting the man on the head with a stick.
Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang hurried over to pull Li Baoyu away, and Lin Xiangshun grabbed Hu Zhonghou by the back of his collar and lifted him up from his hands on his head.
Hu Zhonghou was used to being beaten, so he protected himself very well.
After Lin Xiangshun grabbed him, Jie Chen shone his flashlight. Wang Qiang took one look and yelled, "It was him yesterday!"
"I'm so pretty!" Lin Xiangshun swung his fist and gave Hu Zhonghou a glare. After he knocked Hu Zhonghou down with one punch, the people brought by Zhao Jun went up and started to attack Hu Zhonghou.
Just then, someone in the yard next door opened the door and yelled, "What are you doing?"
"Get out of here!" Someone on Yong'an's side shouted, and the man quickly shrank back and closed the door.
"Alright, alright, let's stop fighting." At this time, Zhao Jun stopped everyone and said, "Let's take him over there!"
When Zhao Jun was speaking, Li Baoyu and others tried to stop him, and then everyone stopped.
Li Baoyu and Lin Xiangshun pulled Hu Zhonghou up from the left and right. At this time, one of Hu Zhonghou's eyes was swollen into a slit, his nose was broken, and his mouth was also broken.
"Why are you hitting me?" Hu Zhonghou spoke vaguely, and then turned the tables and said, "Are you Huzi?"
Wang Qiang went up and slapped Hu Zhonghou twice, and Hu Zhonghou remained silent. At this time, Wang Qiang pointed at Hu Zhonghou's nose and asked, "Why did I hit you? Don't you know?"
"Uncle, drag him over there first." Lin Xiangshun said so, and Wang Qiang didn't say anything else.
Everyone pushed Hu Zhonghou and came to the door of Chen's house.
At this time, Chen Jinmin was kneeling at the door of his own house. Seeing Hu Zhonghou staggering towards him with blood all over his face and the buttons of his cotton jacket unbuttoned, Chen Jinmin's heart instantly rose to his throat.
"Baoyu!" Zhao Youcai asked Li Baoyu, "Where are the leather and the air gun?"
"I don't know, sir." When Li Baoyu caught up with Hu Zhonghou, the air gun was no longer on Hu Zhonghou.
After hearing what Li Baoyu said, Chen Jinmin calmed down. It was good that the dirty things were not discovered, and he would deny it to death. No matter how evil these people were, as long as they couldn't kill him, it would be fine.
Just as Chen Jinmin was thinking about it, Zhao Youcai slapped him in the face.
"Where are my things?" Zhao Youcai asked. Chen Jinmin said, "I don't know, brother! Why are you hitting me when you're looking for something?"
At this time, Chen Jinmin's wife Lu Gaoping came out of the house.
Lu Gaoping was angry with Chen Jinmin before, and she took her child back to her parents' home. But if she could marry a hooligan, how good could her parents' conditions be?
She took her children back to her parents' home, and even though she worked hard for them, her sister-in-law said something unpleasant right after the meal.
Lu Gaoping's parents didn't say anything, but the old couple looked worried. How could Lu Gaoping continue to stay in her parents' home?
Lu Gaoping didn't know when Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou left. Just now, there was a loud cry outside, which woke up Lu Gaoping and the child.
Lu Gaoping called out to Chen Jinmin but got no response. She looked around and found that Chen Jinmin was gone. Lu Gaoping felt something was wrong, so she put on her clothes and ran out.
"You don't want to tell me, right?" Zhao Youcai narrowed his eyes and called out, "Dayong!"
As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Li Dayong went up to Chen Jinmin and grabbed his collar, and there was a continuous "pa pa" sound.
At this time, Lu Gaoping rushed over and pushed Li Dayong, but Li Dayong did not move at all.
Lu Gaoping reached out to scratch Li Dayong, but was pushed away by Wang Qiang and Li Baoyu.
This is a woman. Northeastern men don't fight with women in public.
Lu Gaoping, who was pushed to the ground, hugged Chen Jinmin and protected him, shouting, "Why are you hitting us?"
"Your man stole me..." Zhao Youcai didn't finish his words, but heard a childish voice coming from the Chen family courtyard: "Fuck you, I'm going to fight you!"
A child about ten years old rushed out with something in his hand, which looked like a kitchen knife.
This is Chen Jinmin’s son Chen Yongqiang.
A man can't fight a child, but this child can't hold a knife.
When he saw Chen Yongqiang was about to rush to the gate of the courtyard, Lin Xiangshun was about to step forward to intercept him, but a man rushed out from the side and kicked Chen Yongqiang to the ground.
"Fuck!" Li Ruhai, who followed in the crowd, kicked Chen Yongqiang while cursing.
He always got beaten up in fights with people in the village, but today he finally met someone weaker than him.
Seeing her son being beaten, Lu Gaoping wailed and rushed towards Li Ruhai again.
Li Ruhai dodged hurriedly, and Xie Chen shone his flashlight in that direction. Suddenly, Zhao Jun snatched the flashlight from Xie Chen's hand and shone it next to Chen Yongqiang.
At this time, not only Zhao Jun saw it clearly, but even Wang Qiang saw it. There was a very strange knife lying on the ground next to Chen Yongqiang.
The knife was yellow in color and the blade was in the shape of a semicircle.
When Wang Qiang saw the knife, he was stunned for a moment.
People always say I'm incomplete, but that chapter should have an end. Can't I add one more chapter tomorrow? I'll finish the Yong'an thing, and then I'll go to Changshan (Shijiazhuang), Hebei.
