Village bloody case

1in the summer of 995, a foreigner came to our village. He claims to be surnamed Zhang, and his hometown is Anhui. Because the village and crops were flooded, everyone in the village went out to survive. He worked along the way to make a living, lived without a fixed place, and finally came here. He said, "I am young and strong, uncles and aunts. If anyone needs labor, please call me. I don't want a salary, just feed my mouth. "

The young man surnamed Zhang is introducing himself. Lao Li, who contracted a brick factory in the village, passed by and looked at the young man carefully. He is about one meter tall, with a rectangular face with two knife-shaped eyebrows and a loud voice. Lao Li really likes this guy. Looking at the tight dark skin under the tattered summer dress, he knew that the boy would work hard and was a very hard person.

Lao Li immediately made a decision and said to the young man, "Boy, do it with me and pat bricks, will you?" I run a brick factory. "

The young man immediately strode across to Lao Li and said, "Uncle, uncle, I can pat bricks. I can pat bricks. There is also a brick factory in our hometown. I worked for a brick factory. "

Lao Li called the young man Xiao Zhang and told him to stay in the brick factory and shovel bricks. Xiao Zhang agreed happily. Lao Li is accurate, Xiao Zhang is diligent and never cheats at work. After lunch, he took a pot of tea to the brick factory. Lao Li said, boy, it's not bad for you to have a rest before you go. Xiao Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said, "Uncle, I can't stay, but I still work hard." Said and went out with a tea bottle.

Lao Li climbed up the window and looked out. Xiao Zhang turned over the adobe scooped up the day before, cleaned the bucket of adobe, sprinkled dry ash and set it aside for later use. Then, use a fine screen to evenly screen the soil used to shovel the bricks and pile them neatly. Everything is ready, Xiao Zhang wiped a sweat and picked up the brick carefully. All this is like running water, clean and neat, and Lao Li is really happy to see it.

Half a month later, Zhu Xin, the second daughter of the village west auspicious family, went to the river to wash clothes and passed by the brick factory. She accidentally glanced at Xiao Zhang who was working in a brick factory. His high head and serious appearance attracted her attention.

This scene was seen by Lao Li at the window, and he had an idea. In the evening, Lao Li prepared tables and drinks and chatted with Xiao Zhang. Under Lao Li's questioning, Xiao Zhang said that his parents were dead, and there were no relatives at home, leaving him alone. Lao Zhang cried, and then tentatively asked him if he would like to stay here and start a family and take root here.

Xiao Zhang said yes. Now that he is alone, if he can have a home, he won't have to wander around. But it takes money to get married and start a family. He has just arrived and is incompetent. Lao Li took the opportunity to tell Xiao Zhang that the auspicious family planned to recruit a son-in-law for the second daughter. The auspicious family has two daughters and no son. The eldest daughter married to a foreign county, and the youngest daughter was at home. Lucky and healthy, lame, life is very difficult. The second daughter's brain is half a beat slower than normal, but she can do all kinds of work and have fertility. Xiao Zhang hesitated and said nothing. Finally, Lao Li added: "Life depends on people. You are strong and willing to endure hardships, and you are afraid of having a bad life when you enter the door? "

Xiao Zhang asked Lao Li, "Isn't that girl stupid? If you are not afraid of poverty, you are afraid of people! "

"Of course not stupid. Living at home is no problem, and it's not ugly. You have to see for yourself. "

Xiao Zhang personally met Miss Zhu Xin, talked for a few words, thought about it all night, and agreed. Lao Li felt that he had done a good deed and was very proud.

A year later, she gave birth to a son named Juck Zhang. In the second year, when the weather is dry, crops can be lit with fire. Most people in the village cut off their rations, and the white flour buns were replaced by black flour buns. Xiao Zhang has no food at home, so he has to make a living by planting corn and sweet potatoes. Adults eat corn and sweet potatoes every day, but children can't stand it. When eating, Xiao Chaochao cried and said that he was hungry. He threw corn and sweet potatoes on the ground and refused to eat them. Xiao Zhang was annoyed by the noise of the child, so he raised his hand and hit the child. When an aunt who came to visit the village saw it, she quickly grabbed Xiao Zhang's raised hand, protected the child with her body, advised Xiao Zhang not to hit the child, and hurried home to get three black-faced steamed buns for Xiao Chaochao to eat.

Xiao Zhang blushed and quickly picked up a basket of sweet potatoes and insisted on taking them home with his aunt. Aunt ao however, had to pick up the sweet potato. My aunt spread the news in the village, and the aunts in the village were very sympathetic to the stranger, and even more pitiful to the thin little boy. They went to Xiao Zhang's house with black-faced steamed bread and bowls of miscellaneous grains flour, saying that the family was greedy for sweet potatoes and embarrassed to give some flour steamed bread to each other.

At first, Xiao Zhang was happy to change, but later he refused to change because he knew that everyone was trying to help his family. He said there was a famine and no one had enough to eat and drink. I can't take advantage of everyone.

People in the village gradually like this young man from other places. He is diligent, humble and open-minded. If someone in the village needs help, he will help without saying anything. After Wang's family stayed for dinner, he stopped eating and went home. Once, he asked my dad to help him with a loan and buy fertilizer for crops. After the loan, he helped my family break corn and rake the ground. He works very fast and is willing to give up his strength. He stopped eating my food after he finished his work, and told my dad that his cows could be used for farming at any time. Dad is very sorry. He often asks me to bring something to eat to the Zhang family. But he always sends back some other things, such as vegetables and melons. In short, he does not let others suffer, nor does he take advantage of others.

Xiao Zhang is diligent and willing to bear hardships. In autumn, when the crops in the field are busy, he carries a snakeskin bag and a long stick into the mountains to play dates, and he can play a big bag a day. Go home and sell Ziziphus jujuba seeds. Cut down some dead trees in winter and sell them for money. In spring, he went to another village to interrogate the laborer who wanted to fertilize the land and gave him money to do it.

Thanks to his efforts, the life of the Jixiang family is getting better and better every year. However, the auspicious old man is quite critical of Xiao Zhang. He said that Xiao Zhang is too overbearing, and this family should not listen to Xiao Zhang. After all, he is the head of the family.

Xiao Zhang is helpless, simple-minded and unable to take care of others. Xiao Zhang is exhausted, but he doesn't want to be laughed at by the villagers. He held his breath and stood straight.

In the winter of the fifth year, Xiao Zhang found that the price of dead trees and rotten firewood had increased, and wanted to concentrate on cutting trees and collecting firewood up the mountain. But there were so few dead trees on the mountain that he had to go to other villages to buy dead trees. At this time, he found that his cart could not be pulled much at a time, and all the time was delayed on the road. He thought, how nice it would be to have a tractor! But the money he earned this winter is not enough to sell a tractor.

Just when he was worried, the peony of his neighbor patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, we are partners!" " ! My family has a tractor, and you have capital. How about working together? "

Xiao Zhang is tempted. This job is really the best for two people. Besides, peony, as a foreigner, must respect and trust him, so Xiao Zhang readily agreed.

After a winter, the two became closer and made a lot of money. Xiao Zhang is very happy. He is louder at home and becomes a family member. The auspicious old man refused to accept it and fell ill in a rage. He never recovered from his illness, and died directly with resentment against Xiao Zhang's seizure of power.

Xiao Zhang suppressed the grievances in his heart, invited musicians to play and sent the auspicious old man to the grave as his son. People in the village are talking about everything. Xiao Zhang is still straight-backed, living his own life with empathy.

The next winter, the weather was extremely cold. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Nan are sitting on the hot kang, sharing the money. Xiao Zhang flushed with excitement. "We can have a good year again this year. Zhu Xin, tomorrow I will take you to the county to buy clothes and a set of toys for Chaochao. "

Bamboo heart hug super super sitting on the edge of the kang giggle.

On the third night, Xiao Nan's brother Xiao Dong came to see Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang was very surprised This little thing is a veritable hooligan in the village. When the villagers saw him, they all made a detour for fear of getting into trouble. Xiaodong took the initiative to come to you to estimate that it was nothing good, and Xiao Zhang was a little unsure of what he really wanted to do.

Xiaodong simply borrowed money from Xiao Zhang, saying that he had no money for the New Year and asked Xiao Zhang to help him. Xiao Zhang knows that to give Xiaodong money is to beat the dog and eat meat buns, and he will never come back. The money was hard-won, and he earned it so hard that he flatly refused.

Everyone in the village is afraid of Xiaodong. As long as he speaks, no one dares not to give it up. Xiao Zhang's refutation turned red, and the hooligan was very angry. He left a sentence: "Zhang, wait for me!" " He walked out of Xiao Zhang's home.

Xiao Zhang ignored him and told his daughter-in-law to turn off the light and sleep.

A week later in the morning, Xiao Zhang was still sleeping. Xiaonan climbed up the wall of Xiao Zhang's house and called Xiao Zhang, saying that his daughter-in-law was ill, so he had to be sent to the hospital quickly and asked Xiao Zhang to come and help her get on the bus.

Xiao Zhang quickly got up from the kang and put on his pants. He went straight to Xiaonan's house without buttoning his cotton-padded jacket. The door was open and Xiao Zhang rushed in directly. Peony is not here, and Peony's daughter-in-law is lying naked on the kang and smiling at her. This woman was brought back by Xiao Nan from other provinces. Because she is beautiful and can't speak that language, Xiao Nan didn't let her go out and didn't have much contact with the villagers. Xiao Zhang hasn't seen her many times. Suddenly, this beautiful scene appeared in front of me. Xiao Zhang froze for an instant and forgot what he shouldn't have seen.

Just then, Peony and Xiaodong entered the house at the same time. Peony's daughter-in-law quickly pulled the quilt cover and burst into tears. Xiao Zhang was at a loss by this sudden scene.

Xiaodong stepped forward and slapped Xiao Zhang, then kicked him, cursing: "I killed you son of a bitch and bullied my brother." My sister-in-law is something you can touch, you smelly rascal. "

Xiao Zhang was awakened by scolding, knowing that he had been calculated by two brothers, and argued impatiently. The villagers were also attracted by the noise in the early morning and ran to Xiaonan's house to watch the fun without washing their faces. Xiaodong's two brothers became even more arrogant when they saw the people around the yard. In the crowd, they said that Xiao Zhang was not human, bullied his brother's daughter-in-law and demanded that everyone punish Xiao Zhang.

Everyone knows what Xiaodong is, just for fun, and no one is upholding justice. Seeing that no one spoke for them, the brothers had to make up for it themselves and let Xiao Zhang compensate for the money. If he doesn't lose money, he will go to the police station to sue him.

Xiao Zhang thought, it is really for the hard-earned money that has not warmed up in my pocket. Don't think about my money. He said to Xiaodong, "Fatal. Do you want money? " With that, he pushed his way through the crowd and strode away.

Unwilling Xiaodong finally found a thin knife more than a foot long that his father slaughtered sheep under the firewood pile in Xiaonanjia, and chased it to Xiaozhangjia. Xiao Zhang slammed the door and almost caught Xiaodong's foot. Xiaodong was so angry that he smashed pots and stools in Xiaozhangjia yard, kicked over a box of rolled corncobs and finally left: "It's not over yet."

Xiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and held his son tightly in his arms, but his hand was still shaking.

The next evening, Xiaodong strolled into the yard of Xiao Zhang's family with his hands behind his back. Xiao Zhang was pulling corn and ignored him. Suddenly, Xiaodong threw the sheep-killing knife in front of Chaochao, who was playing in the yard. Chaochao burst into tears instantly. Xiao Zhang was livid and asked Zhu Xin to take his son to someone else's house to play. They were not allowed to come back until he called her.

Bamboo heart holding his son hurried out of the yard.

Xiaodong went to get the sheep butcher's knife and asked Xiaodong to get it back. They are both working hard. Xiao Zhang wants to snatch the knife, but Xiao Dong wants to insert the knife into Xiao Zhang's body. When Xiao Zhang realized Xiaodong's intention, hatred welled up from the bottom of his heart and the strength in his hand increased a lot. The sheep butcher's knife was twisted and violently inserted into Xiaodong's abdomen. Xiaodong instantly curled up like a shrimp out of the pot, covering his abdomen with his hands.

Xiao Zhang looked at Xiaodong lying on the ground surrounded by blood flow, and his brain became unusually awake. He walked out of his yard without hesitation, rushed into Xiaonan's yard, stroking Xiaonan's son playing in the yard and threw himself into his arms, his hands tightly stuck around the child's delicate neck until the child stopped struggling. Xiaonan daughter-in-law heard the noise and chased him out with a thick stick. Xiao Zhang grabbed a stick and hit the woman hard on the head, and the woman fainted to the ground. Xiao Zhang calmly walked out of Xiaonan's yard and walked all the way to the west.

When the villagers found the murder case, Xiao Zhang could not find Xiao Zhang. The police at the police station came to check the scene and drew a circle around the dead Xiaodong with white powder. Xiaodong was stabbed in the abdomen, and the brown blood has solidified on the hard land. The police led several villagers to find Xiao Zhang for a day and a night. When they were ready to report the decision to the bureau, Xiao Zhang surrendered to the police station.

Xiao Zhang explained the cause of the incident and the process of committing the crime. The police told him that Xiaonan's son had died, and Xiaonan's daughter-in-law was still in a coma after a concussion. He asked him why he wanted to kill people and strangle children.

Xiao Zhang gnashed her teeth and said, "I am a son-in-law. I don't want to be looked down upon. I want everyone's respect, but ... he's such an asshole. How difficult it is for me to earn money to support this family. They still bully me like that. If you want to force me to die, I'll let them die first. Peony died for peony, and I didn't see peony. If … "The police interrupted me before he finished. The police knew what he was going to say, and there should be other ways, but he used the most extreme way.

The village is like a frying pan, and timid children all run to the roof to see what it feels like to be dead. The little thing under the black coat is like a semicircle C, quietly surrounded by blood dripping from under the body. It's not scary at all.

Later, Xiao Zhang was sentenced to death by the court and executed one year later. The villagers also talked about it one after another, saying that this sentence is unfair. If Xiao Zhang doesn't kill Xiaodong, Xiaodong will definitely kill Xiao Zhang. This is an excessive precaution and cannot be sentenced to death.

Lao Li can't sit still. He went door to door to mobilize villagers to put their fingerprints on the complaint he wrote, and suggested to the court in the form of a signed letter that Xiao Zhang be sentenced to death. In addition to having conflicts with auspicious old people, Xiao Zhang is very friendly and loyal to the villagers. If this can save Xiao Zhang's life, everyone is willing to press this handprint.

The court still sentenced Xiao Zhang to death on the grounds that Xiao Zhang should not strangle Xiao Nan's son. The child is innocent. He shouldn't impulsively attack a child. The villagers were silent, thinking, yes, adults are wrong, and children are not wrong. They have to give their children an explanation.

Xiao Zhang was shot a year later. When the notice came down, everyone found that there was no one in Xiaozhangjia, and Zhuxin and Chaochao also disappeared from the village. Who will collect Xiao Zhang's body? No one will go.

Xiao Zhang's body did not return to our village and disappeared.

A few years later, there were rumors in the village that Xiao Zhang was transferred when he was executed, and it was not Xiao Zhang who died. In fact, Xiao Zhang's hometown also has a brother who is a senior leader in the army. After the accident, his brother used all the connections and saved his brother by switching the bags. Zhuxin and Chaochao were also secretly taken away by him for protection.

It is also said that Xiao Zhang's body was taken away from her sister's house, and her sister married to another county, and Zhu Xin also married with Chaochao to another province under her sister's arrangement.

The yard where Xiao Zhang and Zhu Xinchao once lived has been left in the village for more than 20 years and is full of weeds.
