Chapter 13: assault, no winners or losers
Liu Bin's house lives in the innermost part of the alley, shabby courtyard walls, shabby houses, shabby everything.
In our village, it should be counted as a poor household, of course, I'm talking about before, and now on the surface. Liu Bin Niang has been scourged by the black cat, suffered from the punishment of heaven, but also dragged down the family, has been living in straitened circumstances.
But now it's good, Liu Bin Niang's disease has been cured, to be precise, she will not be in bed all year round like before. And the family's economic conditions, see the mountain to go is still very difficult, but in fact in the village has been ranked ahead of the rich family, after all, the family's passbook, but there are tens of thousands of yuan ah. Even so, the two families are still frugal and can not afford to spend, they have to prepare for the renovation of the house, to Liu Bin to marry a daughter-in-law ……
Liu Bin's father in the family to prepare baskets, his craft is also considered to be an ancestral heritage, the preparation of baskets is very good, every time to the pier market to sell, will be sold out in the morning time. Unfortunately, this kind of handicraft production is too slow, so it is not particularly profitable.
This morning almost eleven o'clock in the morning, Liu Bin father and Liu Bin mother of the two families will be washed wattle on the platform to dry, ready to prepare the afternoon, white wattle stained with water droplets, bright crystal, in the sunlight glittering, especially good-looking.
The two families are busy, a group of people shouting rushed into their home, a home without saying anything, open smash!
The wattle drying on the platform was thrown everywhere in an instant, broken windows on the glass immediately smashed all broken, the house table chairs and stools, but also by the gang swung up and hit the ground hard, fell into a pile of broken wood, the door was also crashed open, the dilapidated house seems to have trembled, dust rustling from the beams fall down.
Liu Bin father and Liu Bin mother dumbfounded, they completely dumbfounded, do not understand what the hell is going on? They are all village neighbors, are head up not see the head of people, usually see the face are polite greetings, and occasionally will be in a piece of nagging children …… today, this is how it is?
The gang is like a group of robbers, but not like a group of robbers, they simply did not intend to rob what things, clearly is to do damage, everything that can be used, all to you smashed, they will stop. Now, they had smashed all the furniture, so a few grannies rushed to the cooking room, dropping pots and pans in a puddle. A few of the old men rushed to the west house and smashed the two vats where the grain was stored, and then they dragged down the piles of grain one by one, and the torn and broken sacks broke open, and wheat and rice flowed all over the floor.
"You guys, what are you guys doing? This …… has something to say properly okay?" Liu Bin father finally reacted, although, this time has been late, but he still some do not believe as if, thought he was dreaming, ruthlessly hit his own two ears, before rushing up to pull Li Minghe, shouted: "Li Minghe, I day your ancestor, you this is what to do?"
"Fuck you!" Li Minghe pushed Liu Bin Dad to the ground, Liu Bin Dad just wanted to stand up again, was kicked twice by two big men, covered his chest and rolled on the ground.
Li Minghe pinched his waist with both hands and said viciously, "This is a lesson for your family, in the future, teach your children well, let your children be honest ……."
Just at this time, has been beside the silent Liu Binniang suddenly rushed to Li Minghe's heel, shot like electricity, quickly in Li Minghe's face scratched twice, two people rushed over to Liu Binniang pulled to one side, pushed down in the corner place.
Li Minghe's face was scratched with several bloody marks, he roared angrily, "Stinking bitch, I'll skin you today!"
With a bang, Li Minghe's body swayed, blood oozed from his eyebrows, and at his feet, a half-completed red brick tumbled twice, and he didn't move a muscle.
In front of the house, Liu Bin's younger brother small Liu Min picked up a brick, short body, tattered clothes, thin face, let a person see how not to believe, just now he picked up a brick smashed Li Minghe's head. Little Liu Min's eyes glared round and viciously cursed, "Who dares to move again, I'll smash through whoever's dog's head!"
Little Liu Min didn't go to school today, he burned to rest at home, but he didn't expect to run into such a thing.
His words just fell, immediately by the next child of an adult kicked down on the platform, and then an old woman and an old lady rushed up to hold him down, little Liu Min struggled, reached out to scratch, opened his mouth to bite, but was grabbed hard, after all, is still young, not enough strength, was held down, followed by a few ear scrapes, the corners of the mouth flowed blood.
Only then did Li Minghe come to his senses from the shock and confusion, pointing at little Liu Min and cursing, "Little brat, old man, old man peeled your skin!" With those words, he walked ferociously towards Little Liu Min's heel, Little Liu Min's eyes revealed a look of terror, the fierceness from earlier disappeared without a trace, after all, he was a small child, he was scared.
"Fuck! Son of a bitch who fucking dare to move try?"
"All give me stand firm, or I'll split you alive!"
"Fuck!"
……
The sudden shouts of curses and a few cries of pain and misery caused Li Minghe to suddenly stand still and turn his head violently.
He saw that he followed the group of people suddenly scattered, they originally smashed the things of Liu Bin's home, really can not find what can be smashed again, is standing in the courtyard watching the lively, ready to take the time to teach Liu Bin's parents a hard lesson it, at this time, but are full of panic, which the two old men and a woman's face is still hung with blood, Hao's family's child also covered a head.
The crowd dispersed, a few young people fierce and vicious carrying a knife and iron bars, shovels rushed to his front.
Li Minghe wanted to say something, or not yet reacted, a sharp shovel flashed with cold light and chopped over, Li Minghe dodged, the shovel rubbed the shoulder and scratched the past, followed by an iron bar ruthlessly smashed in Li Minghe's shoulder, out of the click sound crunch.
"Ah!" Li Minghe let out a miserable scream, his body stumbled and fell to the ground, holding his smashed shoulder and shivering on the ground.
The others wanted to rush up, either to start a fight with us or to help Li Minghe up.
However, they immediately stood still, even if there were more of them, so what? Do they recognize knives?
Yes, in front of them, the sharp knives and spade blades of the shovels were glowing brightly in the sunlight, a hideous face seemed to be ready to pounce on them to tear them to pieces, and a pair of eyes spewing anger seemed to be ready to spew out raging flames to burn them to death ……
……
A few minutes before, the whole gang of us had been at my house, talking and giggling in that little room of mine.
My mother suddenly ran back from the street and shouted as she entered, "Ouch, is Binzi still in our house?" Speaking my mother has rushed to my house, as soon as I saw Liu Bin hurriedly shouted: "Aiya you all in it, quickly all home, you last night is not smashed other people's home glass, several families of people ah, dozens of people, they copied in the front street of the house of Yao Mingtang, but also copied that who, that … … …Ouch Hanqiang, you hurry home to go, your home was also smashed by them, Binzi, hurry back, they went to your home ……"
"What?"
Several of us stood up at the same time, just stunned for a stunned time, I immediately reacted, yelled: "Brothers, copy guys!"
"Fuck, fight them!" Chen Jin twisted his head and ran out.
I bent down and pulled out a paper box from under the bed, inside were two sharp knives used to skin the yellow wolves, as well as an iron rod, Xue Zhigang and Chang Yunliang ran to the front and copied it, Guo picked up the rod behind the door and ran out.
I took a knife, Liu Bin scurried to the yard, after seeing Chen Jin picked up a shovel, he also picked up a shovel rushed out.
Seven or eight people hooted and hollered like a pack of wolves angrily ran toward the front alley.
My mother yelled from behind, "Ouch you all come back, don't fight!"
"Get back here!" My grandfather's roar also shook the alley.
However, at this time no one in our group of young people listened anymore, 100,000 fire ah! Has been copied home Chang Hanqiang and Yao Jing two people do not think of going home to see, his mother first to find the gang to beat them before …… In addition, anyway, the home has been copied, go back and how? First save Liu Bin family ……
Only, we still went late, the destructive power of more than thirty people is quite amazing. When we ran to Liu Bin's house, the house had already been smashed out of shape, the broken fence gate was torn down and thrown outside the courtyard gate, dozens of people gathered in the middle of the courtyard, we could hear Liu Bin's father's agonizing groans, Liu Bin's mother's curses, and little Liu Min's low frightened sobs.
Ears hear, eyes see through the wall of people, all let us each burning with anger, was originally with anger, now even more uncontrollable. Brothers copied the guy swarmed, three or two will open a gap in the wall of people, we rushed into the courtyard.
Several people were injured by us, one was stabbed in the stomach with a knife, howling in pain, like the sound of a pig being killed.
Liu Bin, like a madman, swung his shovel at the two old ladies and the old lady who were holding down little Liu Min, both of them swiftly dodged backward and scurried to the corner of the wall. As soon as Liu Bin threw down the shovel, he squatted down and helped his brother up, crying, "Minzi, Minzi, are you okay?"
The corner of Xiao Liu Min's mouth was beaten to the point that blood flowed out, that old woman and the old lady's hand was really heavy, the corner of Xiao Liu Min's mouth was opened a mouth. He was scared just now, at this time, his eyes are still full of panic, whimpering and whimpering, his eyes are full of tears, looking at his brother with fear and anxiety, he finally cried out with a wow sound, hugging Liu Bin's neck and shouting, "Brother, brother, they smashed our cabinet, smashed the glass of our house, they, they beat our father and mother, whimpering. ……"
Liu Bin saw his brother all right, gently loosened his arms holding his brother, and his brother's arms holding his neck away, slowly stood up, walked two steps, slowly stooped down to pick up the shovel just thrown on the platform, stood up straight with the shovel, coldly scanned a circle of the yard standing in the crowd, lightly, without a trace of emotion, said: "Just now, who hit my father and my mother? and my mother?"
The old woman who hit Little Liu Min and the old lady wanted to sneak out along the wall, but Liu Bin suddenly said in a deep voice, "Stop!"
The two people hurriedly and fearfully stopped in their tracks, that old woman forcefully wrung out an ugly smile and shivered, "No, I didn't hit the child, I was, I …… came to take a look."
Liu Bin did not look at her again, but twisted his head and continued to coldly scan the people in the yard.
A few of our hands tightly gripped the guy, surrounded by all the enemies, they do not dare to act rashly, perhaps by our gang of people s murderous aura of deterrence, right? And we initially rushed in on the heavy hand, injured several, at this time that was stabbed a knife guy has no longer howl in pain, lying on the ground covering the stomach a strong shivering, his daughter-in-law squatting next to him to wipe tears, sobbing: "This is, this is a figure what ah? Said don't you come, don't you come …… to sin ah!"
Chang Yunliang stepped out to the person who was stabbed, the crowd immediately fell back, at the same time there are two people squeezed, blocked the person who was stabbed, the person's daughter-in-law stood up, coldly looked at Chang Yunliang. Chang Yunliang shook his head, sighed, and said coldly: "What? Still want to fight? Hurry up and send him to the hospital, any later, aren't you afraid he'll die?"
So those two people and the daughter-in-law of the stabbed person, together they shivered and hurriedly bent down to lift the stabbed person and hurriedly ran outside .
Others also wanted to follow and run outside, but Liu Bin suddenly roared, "All fucking stand still!"
Everyone stood still.
I was wondering, what's wrong with the village people? As for being so afraid of Liu Bin? In fact, if they swarmed, a few of us with weapons are no match, this courtyard is full of weapons, they can also copy the guy to do us ah! Could it really be …… a thief s heart?
That originally carry heavy injured to rush to the hospital people also stood still, just a little stand, and then in that daughter-in-law's hard pull, to the alley outside running away.
Yard suddenly quiet, we a few do not know what to say good, now it is hands to fight or not fight it? If we fight, we are not afraid, the problem is that once a melee …… is born, there are so many female compatriots, those old ladies, especially the old lady, can withstand the fight? Not to mention them, even the strong old man, once joined the melee, is likely to be seriously injured or even death.
Those of us who live in the countryside all year round, as well as them, are well aware of the serious consequences of rural melee.
Liu Bin also seems to not know what to do now, I think he may have the same mind with me at that time, we will hesitate in our hearts, after all, the other side does not move, if the other side to do it, we will immediately forget everything, all the way to fight to the death. The problem is, when the opponent does not move and does not fight back, then fight …… us also have to take into account the serious consequences ah.
"Brothers and sisters, you all go." Liu Bin suddenly looked at a few of us and said softly, "I don't want to involve you guys, this day, I have to kill a few people."
"Huh?"
Not only our brothers and sisters, everyone in the courtyard was shocked by Liu Bin's words and opened their mouths wide, boy, it's going to kill someone.
Liu Bin's mother pushed through the crowd and ran to Liu Bin, hugged him and cried, "Bingzi, Bingzi, let's not play with people, let's live a good life." She was persuading Liu Bin, holding Liu Bin tightly, afraid that Liu Bin would suddenly swing a spade to cut off someone's head, while turning her head and shouting at the people in the yard, "You all go, all go, don't be in my house!"
"Bin son, we don't fight with them, we live well, can't make, can't make ah, are the street neighborhood, head up not see head down to see ……," Liu Bin father struggled to stand up, walked to Liu Bin heel and his wife, stopped the son, pushed his son to the The house.
Liu Bin's eyes are lifeless resisting his parents' push and shove, his hand, tightly gripping the handle of the spade not to let go, the corner of his mouth bit out blood, a drop rolled down, dripping on the ground.
I was stunned to look at Liu Bin, suddenly felt like he was a different person, when did he, so savage and fierce? Chen Jin came to my ear and whispered, "Come on, in our gang, in the future, it will be Bin Zi bully."
"Huh?" I froze for a moment, not understanding what Chen Jin meant for a moment.
Chen Jin hehehe a music, I suddenly understand, yes, Liu Bin, is no longer the previous Liu Bin, he from now on, will be our gang, and even the whole village, the famous dare to play life master. As long as he is out of this one person, the village later, no one dares to casually come to bully their family.
"Fuck you." I cursed Chen Jin in a low voice, this kid is really fucking evil, no matter what the situation is, he seems to not care at all, still should make a scene, the fun ……
The crowd in the courtyard, began to appear a commotion, saw Liu Bin father and Liu Bin mother Liu Bin stopped, they want to hurry to leave this dangerous place, they were compelled by the evil things, a moment of confusion, and now they were killed by the murderous atmosphere awakened, understand, this place can not stay, at any time there may be a human life ah … …
Chen Jin and I both shouted almost at the same time, "No one is leaving!"
The crowd then quieted down again.
Li Minghe covered his still bleeding head and said, "You guys, people's families are letting us go, what's in your way?"
I laughed coldly and said, "You beat up the people and smashed all the things, so you're just going to leave?"
"Always have to talk about it, say what should be said, say it clearly before leaving." Chen Jin reminded.
"This ……" Li Minghe was stunned, he understands what we mean, naturally, we have to pay for the money.
But the problem is that Li Minghe, as well as all the people who participated in the smashing incident, they are now sober and regret it, smashing so many things, if they pay out money, how much money will they have to pay out? How many rural people were rich at that time? Who could afford it?
Old Mrs. Li shouted from outside the crowd, "Then you also smashed my family's glass, this is called payback for payback!"
"Did you see me smash your glass? Or did you see Liu Bin smash your family's glass?" Chen Jin asked back.
"You ……" Li old lady was stunned, yes, even if we did it, did you see it? Did you catch it? And you copied other people's homes, but we blocked the home, in broad daylight, you really fierce, lawlessness?
The crowd began to boil, talking, some complained to each other, some quarreled with us, after involving their own interests, their guts surged again.
"There's no need to pay for it." Liu Bin suddenly said, he had been pushed inside the door of the house by his parents, one hand grasping the door frame, one hand holding the shovel handle, seemingly not letting go, "Take your life for it, I don't want your money!"
It worked, and the crowd quieted down again.
I wondered if these people were wondering whether it was better to spend some money on compensation or to fight for their lives. The answer is obvious, it is the most cost-effective way to pay compensation, who wants to take the life for ah?
Someone in the crowd whispered, "This is the broken stuff in their house, it's not worth a few bucks, let's make up for it and pay them back."
The crowd is gently nodding, it is so, Liu Bin's family is really shabby, even a piece of valuable things are not.
Yao Jing held up a shovel and yelled, "There is our family, his mother does not pay out the old man with you to fight!"
"It seems …… like our house is also smashed is it?" Chang Hanqiang voice is not big, but it is unusually low, through a murderous atmosphere, eyes slightly narrowed, seems to have stared at a certain person, ready to stab the brazier in his hand into each other's stomach.
The crowd boomed and exploded, people began to talk, scolding each other, big angry quarrel, even two mouths, mother and son are quarrel ……
"It's all you, all day idle, have to come out of the gas, out of the gas, out of your mom than the gas, this is good, compensation for people money it!"
"You old undead, scourge, scourge ……"
"You stinking bitch, if it wasn't for you burning incense and kowtowing all day long, where would all this come from? Where's that god you believe in? Where did he go? Go ask it for money!"
"Smash it, smash it, it was a good neighborhood, a good neighbor, all messed up!"
……
Our brothers and sisters looked at each other, look like the enemy at any time to explode civil war, and is absolutely family-level melee, the smell of gunpowder has permeated the entire courtyard, rushing heavenly murderous aura than when we came, but also thick, but also intimidating.
At this time, my grandfather's voice came from the alley outside the courtyard: "Everyone be quiet, don't make noise, what is this for?"
The courtyard immediately quieted down, even Liu Bin parents, also let go of Liu Bin, no longer stop him, Liu Bin also naturally quiet down, just two eyes still look at the people in the courtyard.
My grandfather's prestige in the village, absolutely is not to be underestimated, the village people even if the usual occasional together will be non-committal about our old Zhao family, that is nothing more than me and my two cattle uncle caused people to hold a grudge, my father and my grandfather, absolutely let the village people can not say what.
"Put down the hand of the guysh, how? Want to kill someone? Huh?" Grandpa looked at a few of us and rebuked in a deep voice.
A few brothers and sisters you look at me I look at you, crackling, the shovel iron stick wooden stick and other things thrown to the ground, sharp knife in the waist. Liu Bin's shovel in his hand, but also finally let his father snatched down.
Several villagers came forward to surround my grandfather, one by one hurried to say good words, as well as explaining the causes and consequences, what what is a misunderstanding ah, do not blame us ah …… Grandpa expressionless toward the crowd, a slight hmmmmm agreed to the few people talking. When grandpa walked past a few of us, those few villagers also stopped naturally, they were worried that when they walked past us, they would get a cold knife.
Grandpa finally walked up to Liu Bin and his parents, that is, the doorway of the hall. Grandpa probed into the house, looked down the house in a messy scene, then slowly turned around, said faintly: "are neighbors, head up, head down, you really underhanded ah, copy home, copy home …… have such a big hatred? "
There was another burst of chatter in the crowd, with no shortage of inter-family squabbles and mutual accusations.
"Since smashed, it is too late to say anything now …… " Grandpa's face was expressionless, still very calmly said, "What should be compensated, still have to compensate, after smashing other people's things, but also do not intend to compensate for the money, that is bullying, so it is This is not feasible, but also can not be said …… are neighbors, some things I do here first Lord, do not have to be compensated, can be repaired, you are responsible for people to repair, can not be repaired completely broken, you give people to buy, good or bad not to mention, have to buy the same thing … … …"
"Then the glass in our house is still smashed! Who's going to pay for this?" Old Mrs. Li howled shrilly.
"Did you see who smashed the glass in your house?" My grandfather twisted his head away, not in a hurry, but just asked Old Mrs. Li so faintly.
Old Mrs. Li grunted and didn't say anything, just muttering one after another.
Grandpa continued, "How many houses in the village have had their glass smashed in total?"
So people have yelled, this family was also smashed, that family was also smashed …… Grandpa nodded and said, "Turn around, I'll let Da Niu go to your house to take a look one by one, how much glass is broken, all of them are counted as mine, this money, I'll pay for it, you see, okay?"
The crowd boomed, like a group of flies suddenly flew up, buzzing vigorously. After a while, finally someone stood out and said: "Since Mr. Zhao came out to speak, then we do not say anything else, the repair of the repair, the compensation for the compensation, as for the home was smashed a few pieces of glass, what ah, can not let Mr. Zhao out of this money, forget it, I admit it!"
"I also recognize, this old woman at home this day is really crazy, alas ……" said an old man hanging his head, I do not know whether it is talking about his wife, or his mother.
With the lead, naturally the others will not be able to say anything else, so they all nodded their heads and voiced their willingness to pay.
From the eyes of the crowd, I can see, they for their own today, do things, very regrettable; their eyes, but also through a trace of confusion, always want to understand, today in the end how is it? Where did they get so angry ……
I secretly in the bottom of my heart for them to feel worthless, poor them, how to attract the evil things of the road it? Alas, the poor villagers, the poor old ladies, the poor a few follow the old ladies to mix with the old ladies of the ladies …… how they can not imagine, that the so-called "Xuan mother mother" compulsion villagers, but from their own family members under the hand. This is not to say that it is to lead the wolf into the house?
Seeing that everyone agreed, Grandpa turned his attention to us and said, "Just now, who stabbed Zhang Qiang?"
Several of us looked at each other in disbelief, when we just rushed in, there was a flurry of fighting, we really didn't know who stabbed someone, I hesitated, could it be that I accidentally stabbed someone? But I remembered that I just cut two people with a knife, and one of the knives didn't even hurt anyone, just chopped off a handful of head.
"Maybe, maybe it was me?" I said with a somewhat hesitant frown.
"It was me, I stabbed it!" Xue Zhigang stood out and pulled the sharp knife from his waist, it still had blood on it.
My grandfather nodded and said, "If a person dies, it's inevitable to pay for his life, since he did it, he has to take responsibility for the crime he committed, if the person didn't die, you kids will give a look at the injury and share the cost equally."
"I'm not afraid!" Xue Zhigang glared and sneered and said, it seems that in his heart, for the concept of death, it is not too clear, and …… it seems that death is nothing for him to be afraid of.
"Hitting and injuring people is also responsible." Grandpa went on to say, "The people who were injured in the presence, hurry to go to Dr. Du to bandage up, spend how much money in Dr. Du to leave the bottom of the account, turn around I went over to settle the bill with Dr. Du, this money, but also let the silver music they this group of people out of the money."
"Grandpa, why give them money? They asked for it!" Chen Jin said with dissatisfaction, and then glared fiercely at those few people who were injured with his eyes.
I also said, "Grandpa, why should we pay for everything? They're not capable of doing it themselves. If they hurt me, would they be willing to pay for it?"
"But they didn't hurt you!" Grandpa scolded in a deep voice.
A few of us listened to the tone of grandpa's speech a little angry meaning, so we hurriedly do not say anything, just heart is very dissatisfied.
"Alright, everyone disperse." Grandpa waved his hand.
All of them were stunned before they rushed at Grandpa and then hurriedly left Liu Bin's house.
After everyone had left, the two of them, Chang Hanqiang and Yao Jing, greeted us and hurried home as well, worrying about their home being smashed and whether their family members were safe and sound.
Grandpa turned his head and comforted Liu Bin's parents with a few words, then without looking at our group of young people, he walked straight out.
Chen Jin said to me, "Yinle, is this matter just over?"
"What else? Fight again?" I muttered.
Xue Zhigang smiled bitterly and said, "It's over my ass, if Zhang Qiang's life is soft and he dies, my buddy still has to pay for his life."
Chen Jin and I simultaneously body trembled, I hurriedly said, "Zhigang, you go out to hide for a few days, if Zhang Qiang really died, you don't come back, if he didn't die, you come back …… again."
"Right, right, don't stay at home, just in case ah, Zhigang, you hurry!" Guo also hurriedly urged.
Xue Zhigang hesitated for a while, finally figured out, hurriedly put down the stuff, play outside to run away, while running also said: "I will come back at night ah ……".
I was going to call him back at night why ah, let the Public Security Bureau to arrest you? But this kid has run out of shadow.
Standing for a while, until the house Liu Bin father shouted: "Children, all come in to help uncle pick up pick up, alas, this home was messy enough, so they smashed, what are gone, gone ……".
A few of us looked at each other for a few eyes, it is not good to say anything else, and went to the house.
In fact, the house has nothing to clean up, only those clothes ah what to pick up, the other tables chairs cabinets …… are basically scrapped, directly get out to throw the counting ball.
Almost finished packing when it is already noon.
South of the sky surging a look not all over the cloud, not long to cover the sun. The wind picked up, carrying cool watery air.
The storm was coming. ……
