Chapter 03: Two dollars triggered by the bloodshed
The twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.
New Year's atmosphere enveloped the village, each family is busy steaming rice cakes, vegetable buns, steamed buns, get dumplings stuffed and so on, in order to is in the New Year's days, every day can eat ready-made, not too busy to prepare meals.
New Year's Eve, thousands of years of traditional festivals, people are resting, do what work ah?
Obviously, in addition to those of us, the other villagers absolutely no because of the village of the past two days of the occurrence of several incidents and feel any wrong, they feel that this is very normal, but the village people, street neighborhoods all day together for a long time, it is inevitable that some contradictions, some small conflicts.
The women are busy cooking at home, the men have to go to the New Year's shopping. In the village, the households with a little bit more solid family or those who usually have less free time have prepared the New Year's goods as early as possible. Most people wait until the twenty-eight or nine days to go to the market in the town of the pier to buy things, it is said that these two days to buy new year's goods cheaper than the previous days to buy, the reason is, naturally, because of trading businessman running the New Year's Eve, is also to open the New Year's Eve, so they will hurry to sell the goods cheaper, and then go home to open the New Year's Eve.
This seems to make sense, but I don't feel that these two days to buy things can be cheaper than the previous days what, even …… still a little expensive. With a saying: "Nanjing to Beijing, the buyer is not as good as the seller." People do business, think more than we have to be more thorough, guess the consumer psychology to guess more thorough.
Long-winded so much, as if there is no necessary connection with our story, in fact, it is not.
That said, the day of the twenty-eighth day of the waxing moon, according to our prior agreement, today at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Jin and I should go to the South Embankment pump house over there, that piece of small stone monument that does not know how long it has been standing to the planing, and then lifted down.
In other words, we had all morning to do something else.
Don't think that we young people, who usually sleep until ten o'clock or more, would still be very unintelligent to sleep at this time of the year. After all, it's New Year's Eve, the family is busy, we also have to be busy, right? Moreover, New Year's Eve, for young people, is indeed a good day, rare is, New Year's Eve those days, you can go crazy play, without having to worry about the family's old parents nagging us desperately.
Woke up early, I went with my father to the town of the pier, bought chickens, ducks, fish, meat, calendars, paintings, cigarettes and wine and other things, inside the home, the mother of a person chopped stuffing buns, make rice cakes.
In front of our wordy much, so here is a pass, in fact, New Year's Eve, buy New Year's goods is the same thing, nothing new.
Single that day we went to buy things back, after the home yard to help burn the fire, steamed rice cakes buns and so on.
But I never thought, this busy work, the middle of the event, delayed me and Chen Jin's time.
Originally, my father and I bought things from the dock town back, only about 10:30, intending to work for a while at home, and then go to find Chen Jin, early to the South Embankment pump house side of the children waiting for twelve o'clock.
At about eleven thirty or so, I am taking a shovel ready to go to find Chen Jin, Chen Jin wind and fire broke in, into the door to greet me something, I was in my heart thumped, thinking this is what happened ah? Looking at Chen Jin's eyes, it seems that he does not want my parents and grandfather to know, so I followed him out of the courtyard.
Chen Jin dragged me to the root of the wall, there are six or seven meters from the courtyard door before anxiously said: "Chang Yunliang was beaten in the town of the pier, just came back, his head received a knife, is being bandaged, he asked me to notify the brothers, go to revenge!"
"What? What? Wait for me to go back to copy the weapon!" I heard a bang on the door of my head, anger, twisted his head and walked toward home.
What's going on here? Brothers let a person to beat, we absolutely can not stand idly by, absolutely have to go to revenge! What do you mean buddy?
Into the home, dad asked me what happened? I said nothing, this kind of thing can not let parents know, otherwise you do not want to go out.
I went into the east room, dragged out of the box from under the bed, where there is a sharp knife we use to peel the skin of the wolf, I took two, and then rolled up with a piece of rags, holding the walk out.
Out of the door, and Chen Jin two people no longer nonsense, hurriedly walked to the street.
Chang Yunliang has been bandaged, home did not return, a few brothers are gathered at the door of the health center, a face of fierce light, anger and bravado.
Don't need to ask what reason, also don't need to discuss, Chang Yunliang don't know where to carry a child about one meter long iron bar, greeted, brothers will follow, hurriedly to the town of dock.
Speaking of which, nowadays this era, really much better than before, nowadays if the war fights, injured can be comfortable, definitely will not go home immediately to find people to revenge war, but first reported to the police station's intervention, and then, hit the person's family on the side of the people to hurry to find people to this side of the negotiation of the settlement it is in fact to take the money chanting, take less this side can not be sued you, then you are likely to I'm not going to be able to do that. So you have to try to get the money, try to meet the beaten side of the people.
The person who got beaten up must have made a big profit! It doesn't look like a good deal, but it's a good deal.
Don't say what face ah disgrace ah what, do you have to go to revenge, and then a large group of people to fight, blood splattered five steps, play with a dead person is good?
It's not as good as money! To put it bluntly, today's society, don't think that you beat up people is the scenery, capable of you beat up people still white, that's called scenery, but who has such a great ability?
But the early eighties, not like now ah! At that time, the fight that is to be defeated to face, as for the police station side, really to the police station, compensation for the money fined, beaten people can not fall a penny, both sides have to pay, and the money have let the police station to fall.
Well, that's it, so that time, the way to solve this kind of thing, most of them are by force, even if they are injured, their own look at the injury, win the fight on the scenery, to put it bluntly, is purely costly business.
But still have to fight! And it was this very bad habit that led to many murders in those days.
That's not good.
No more bullshit, let's continue the story!
At that time, we were a group of angry kill to the dock town, halfway while walking while listening to chang yunliang and chang hanqiang to the cause of the matter to tell again. It turns out, this thing is a slap in the face, to have to say a right and wrong, Chang Yunliang himself first wrong.
At that time, Chang Yunliang and Chang Hanqiang two people went to the pier town to buy new clothes for New Year's Eve, when the two people are looking at a jacket, and then the two people on the bargaining, the results of the negotiation of thirty-two dollars a piece, the two people each buy a. The two people are not the same, but the two people are not the same, but the two people are not the same. Chang Hanqiang bought the clothes on the first back, Chang Yunliang himself is still in the dock town skulking want to buy a pair of pants, the results see someone and he bought the same jacket, go up and ask, people spend thirty dollars.
According to say, this is not a very normal thing?
Spent an extra two dollars to buy a piece of clothing, complaining that we will not bargain, and the difference is not much, although in that era two dollars is also considered a lot of money, the problem is to see to whom to speak. Chang Yunliang's own family is rich, and now the brothers have tens of thousands of dollars at home, still care about the two dollars? Most importantly, it's our own fault!
But Chang Yunliang did not know which tendons out of the problem, froze to feel that he ate a big loss, find people selling clothes that piece, have to let people back two dollars not, people do not return, Chang Yunliang this kid even did not fear that this is in the door of the others, the door of the others on the market, men and women, four or five people, he smashed his hands on the door on the others on the sign!
What's more? All are a shoulder carrying a head, who is afraid of who ah?
You smashed the sign on the door, that's like slapping someone's face! Will they be happy with you?
The result was a natural fight, so Chang Yunliang was bound to get beaten up!
This kid was beaten and did not give in, covered with blood in the town of the pier yelling, it's not over, you son of a bitch hit me, you don't want to open this store down!
Then, Chang Yunliang with blood back to the village, ran into Chen Jin and Xue Zhigang, quickly let them greet the brothers, ready to revenge!
That's how it all started. Two dollars started a bloodbath.
At that time, we for the sake of buddy righteousness, anger, fire, nothing to take into account not to consider, only think of the brotherhood of the head, vengeance it! I really did not think, how Chang Yunliang will be because of the two dollars, to find others to fight with people? He is usually not so petty people, not to mention, this is clearly unreasonable!
Most importantly, when Chang Yunliang talked to us, he didn't shy away from his own faults and exaggerated others' faults, but went straight to the point, as if he was right.
Dock town is not far from our village, walking along the field path, it is four miles. Eight people with iron rods and knives ran to the town in a short time, like a group of bandits.
Arrived at the store door, people do not know whether it is home for the New Year, or really afraid of Chang Yunliang bring people to take revenge, anyway, the door is closed, closed is tight.
In addition to me and Chen Jin, other people do not know what nerve it, to the next door on the market to inquire, ask those who open the door to the market, this closed the door of the boss, is which village people, where to live, called what ……
Anyway, that look imposing, than the police investigation case, but also asked the bottom of the air! It seems that they are the ones who do the royal errand.
People who opened the store originally did not want to take care of, but see a group of people aggressive a person with the wolf like, had to perfunctorily say I do not know.
This can not be blamed on the fault of others, right? They have the responsibility and obligation to tell us?
Hey, just so simple reasoning, Chang Yunliang and a few other buddies still feel that people are biased, deliberately against our buddies it!
As a result, they immediately, without explanation, waving sticks and knives to smash the other store door ah!
Fuck me! Chen Jin and I were dumbfounded! We didn't realize that our brothers had become so bold. They're even more aggressive than Chen Jin and me.
If it were before, when would Chen Jin and I be the ones to fight in this kind of thing?
Are they crazy? Are they crazy?
Chang Yunliang he lost his mind, we can understand, after all, he was beaten …… you guys can not be so crazy, right?
Three times five, two store signboards to smash.
In the face of such a group of eyes red, vicious gas full, a child like a desperado like young people, no one really dare to hands dry war.
And I and Chen Jin two people, on the side of the stupid look after a while, coincidentally rushed up, stop them, and then not without reason, roar reprimand, pulling them to hurry back ah!
What is this? Bandits? Fuck people can not be a little reason, we are not assholes, although we usually love to fool around and love to fool around, but also have not seen so openly bully people ah!
Chen Jin and I two people spent nine bulls and two tigers, finally the brotherhood of several all to pull out of the town of the pier, and then down the field path, all the way to the village.
Halfway, Chen Jin and I two people one in front of one behind the six of them sandwiched in the middle, silent. Just listen to the six of them in the middle of the side walk blowing, yelling that the matter of his grandmother is not finished, after the New Year to come back to a trip, I do not believe that the home of the door is not open, as long as he dares to open, so that our brothers see, no two words, smash the door, stabbing people! We will definitely go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife!
Each one of them said something fierce!
Almost to the village, Chen Jin and I two people finally could not help, a few of them blocked, severely reprimanded!
Chen Jin roared: "Look at you all, all fucking into the spirit or what? I wondered, this New Year's Eve, those who open the door to the market next to you what? Why are you smashing their stores? Can't people do business? Aren't you obviously blackmailing people? Fuck!"
"That's right! You all look like you've eaten rat poison, are you burnt or what?" I glared at Chang Yunliang, then coldly scanned the others, reprimanding: "What's wrong? What's wrong with you? Doing some asshole things ah ……"
"Ai ai, Yinle, aren't you turning your arm outward?" Chang Yunliang interrupted me and yelled, "I'm watching, you and Chen Jin didn't do anything today, so what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? I've had my ass handed to me today!"
Chen Jin glared, pushed Chang Yunliang a roar: "Yunliang, you fucking show what teeth ah? You were opened the scoop brothers are watching it, silver music from the home out of the knife to give you revenge out of it, but you're fucking looking for the main ah, you go to someone else's home on the door of the market to smash what smashed? You find the right person to go, let's raid his house to go! You don't want to talk nonsense here, do you?"
"Yo, are you two wearing the same pants today?" Chang Yunliang stared at Chen Jin and me with a sneer and said, "Come on, you two are the good guys, we're all assholes, okay?"
"Chang Yunliang, what the fuck do you mean?" I reached out and grabbed Chang Yunliang's collar, and coldly scolded, "What I don't want to see is what you guys did today, so what? You want to beat me up?"
"What?" Chang Yunliang raised his hand and slapped me in the face.
I raised my hand to block, and kicked Chang Yunliang to the ground, and angrily wanted to go up and severely beat him, but also overturned the sky! Motherfucker dare to fight with me?
I kicked Chang Yunliang to the ground, Chen Jin rushed up and kicked Chang Yunliang in the face.
When it's too late, a few other brothers saw their own people started to fight, rushed to pull me and Chen Jin two people, I also roared: "Chang Yunliang, you motherfucker do not know what to do, dare to do it with my hands, a child fingers pinch you to death!"
"You're tired of living, aren't you?" Chen Jin also stretched out his finger to point at Chang Yunliang through his brothers.
Chang Yunliang climbed up from the ground, and didn't rush over to fight with the two of us as Chen Jin and I had imagined, but only angrily scolded, "OK, OK! I don't have brothers like you two!"
After saying that, Chang Yunliang turned his head and walked towards the village alone.
Chen Jin and I, whose anger was hard to dispel, still intercepted by our brothers, rushed at Chang Yunliang's back and angrily cursed the others.
The cold wind in the field, coupled with Chen Jin and I scolded, Xue Zhigang and a few of them as if they were scolded to wake up, all bowed their heads, frowning and thinking about something.
Chen Jin and I were also tired of cursing, panting and no longer talking nonsense.
After a while, I suddenly slapped my thigh and exclaimed, "Fuck, Jinzi, what time is it? Past twelve o'clock no?"
"Oops bad dish! Yinle, hurry up and get going!" Chen Jin thought, hurriedly ran toward the village, while the child shouted: "hurry hurry, really fucking, this is not a delay?"
I also no longer nonsense, hurriedly followed Chen Jin ran to the village, we have to twelve o'clock to dig the south river embankment pump house there beheading snake monument ah! From home out of the time, are eleven thirty, now ……
A few other buddies see the situation, in the back while shouting we two this is what to go, while the rush to catch up with over.
Time is short ah, the two of us do not have time to run to the west Chen Jin home, ran to the village, greeted Yao Jing, went to his family's old house to take two shovels, simply put the two of us to do things to them, and then hurriedly to the south embankment to run to.
A few of them heard that we are going to plow the south river embankment pump house there to cut the snake monument, although the heart has doubts, do not know why we are going to plow that thing, but look at us in a hurry, no longer nonsense, and carry a shovel, a bag of pickaxe, followed us to the south of the land to run to.
Almost out of the village, just happened to run into Yao Mingtang out of the house, see us a bunch of people running to the south of the wind and fire, Yao Mingtang shouted: "Hey, you a bunch of little brats busy what to go? This is one o'clock! You're still not home for dinner!"
"Hey, I'll be back in a while!" Yao Jing promised, a group of people do not stop, ran straight out of the village.
I was in a hurry, it's already one o'clock! It's already one o'clock!
Why this winter, things are so much ah?
