Chapter 114: Exploring the Cellar
"Uncle Huang, this means that your calves are slowly regaining sensation, don't do heavy work in the past few days, you apply these ointments three times a day, and you can heal in a few days!"
Chu Xuan handed Huang Puping a small packet of ointment, Huang Puping nodded and took it gratefully, Chu Xuan cleared his throat and asked again:
"Uncle Huang, what is the cause of your leg?"
"Chu Xuan, why do you ask that?"
Huang Puping hadn't answered yet, and Huang Feifei on the side interjected and asked.
"Because Uncle Huang's leg is definitely not injured under normal circumstances, but someone smashed it out with a hard object such as a steel pipe, I looked at the wound, so I deduced from it!"
Chu Xuan had this question when he was being treated just now, but when he was treating, Chu Xuan pressed it in his heart, for fear of disturbing his mind, so he didn't ask.
"What?!Dad!Who the hell have you been beaten?"
Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Huang Feifei turned her head in surprise and worry and asked Huang Puping.
"Ahh ”
Huang Puping shook his head and sighed.
"It's all over, don't talk about it anymore, aren't all the same fights? Anyway, it's been cured now!"
Huang Puping obviously didn't want to tell the truth of the matter.
"Uncle Huang, just say it, what's the problem, I'll help you, don't you still believe me?"
Chu Xuan didn't know what Huang Puping was worried about, so he opened his mouth and gave Huang Puping a reassurance first.
"Well, well!"
Huang Fuping showed a look of struggle, but still spoke.
"This has something to do with your brother!"
This sentence was said to Huang Feifei.
"Isn't my brother doing well in a car repair shop in the provincial capital, what does it have to do with him, could it be that my brother's bastard beat him?!"
Huang Feifei's mouth opened slightly, and she was a little emotional.
"You listen to me slowly, and when I'm done you'll be clear. ”
Huang Puping drank a cup of hot tea that Huang Feifei poured for him just now, moistened his throat and began to speak.
"About three months ago, it was one night, it was almost 11:30, it was still raining heavily, lightning and thunder, your mother and I had just finished watching two episodes of the TV series, and we were about to close the door and go to bed, and your brother suddenly came back. ”
"I wondered, it was still raining in the middle of the night, the roads in the village were full of water and mud, it was very difficult to walk, I didn't understand why your brother was still braving the heavy rain to go home, so I asked him what happened?"
"He talked about it for a long time, and I don't know what he was talking about, saying that he had fought with people in the provincial town and fled to his home to avoid trouble. ”
"I don't know if it's true or not, but I can't let your brother brave the heavy rain to rush back to the provincial capital, let your brother stay at home. ”
"Your brother stayed at home for the next few days, and it was all quiet and nothing happened, but one night, still late at night, there was a knock on the door. ”
"When I opened the door, I saw some fierce men, carrying steel pipes, daggers and other steel pipes and other weapons, saying that they were looking for your brother, and I thought that your brother must have caused something, so I didn't let them in. ”
"They pushed me, hit me in the shin with a steel pipe, and when they broke into the house, they didn't find your brother, who had escaped over the wall after hearing the movement. ”
"After the group left, your brother quietly returned home, and then he has been hiding in the cellar of the house, and those fierce people have also come a few times, and the latest time I have become more and more impatient, saying that if you don't hand over your brother, our family will not have a good life in the future. ”
After Huang Puping finished telling the story, he picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea.
"Dad, why don't you tell me about such a big thing?"
Huang Feifei said with a sad face.
"What's the use of telling you? I can't solve the actual problem even if I let you worry about it!"
Huang Puping said.
Chu Xuan scratched his cheek after hearing this, and analyzed the joints in it, this Huang Feifei's younger brother must have provoked someone outside, and then they chased him to the house.
"Uncle Huang, I don't know how to solve this matter for the time being, because I don't know when they will come to you for trouble, but I can leave you a phone number, if you have any trouble, you can call me, our two villages are not too far away, I can arrive immediately." ”
Chu Xuan wanted to help, but he didn't know when people came, so he couldn't help even if he wanted to.
"Thank you, Xiaoxuan. ”
"If there's nothing to do, let's go back first. ”
Chu Xuan had been out for a long time, and he had long wanted to go back to the village to take a look.
"Good. ”
Huang Puping nodded.
..................
Huang Feifei sent Chu Xuan and his parents to the door, Chu Xuan drove Santana, looked at Huang Feifei standing in the rearview mirror, retracted his gaze, and walked away.
For about an hour, Chu Xuan took Huang Feifei's parents to Huangzhuang Village first.
Huang Feifei's parents live in the west end of Huangzhuang Village, with a large yard but only three adobe houses, which seem lonely and empty.
Huang Puping got out of the car first and led Chu Xuan to the cellar behind his house, saying that it was a cellar, but in fact it was just a deep hole specially dug for storing Chinese cabbage, sweet potatoes and other crops in winter.
The cellar was still very hidden, covered with a large pile of dead grass, and Huang Puping picked up the dry grass to reveal a wooden plank.
There was an iron ring on the wooden board, and Huang Fuping pulled the iron ring to pull the wooden board apart.
Chu Xuan immediately smelled a faint smell of feces and urine from the cellar, and suddenly his nose took two sharp breaths.
"Mingjun, are you still in there?"
Huang Puping stretched out his head and shouted into the somewhat dark cellar.
After waiting for a while, no one responded.
"Mingjun, Mingjun............"
Huang Puping called his son's name, but his mouth was dry, and no one responded.
Huang Puping looked at Chu Xuan, his face revealing a little worry.
"Uncle Huang, it can't be your son who has already come out of the cellar, right?"
Chu Xuan also poked his head out and looked under the cellar, although it was daytime and the sun's rays were very good, but the cellar was very deep, and it was dark inside, Chu Xuan couldn't see clearly, so he asked.
"Xiao Xuan, this is impossible, although there is only one wooden board in this cellar to seal the mouth, it can't be opened from the inside at all, because there is no focus point, Mingjun must still be in the cellar!"
Huang Puping touched his body and found a lighter, lit it, and leaned into the cellar with his arm to take a photo, but the light of the lighter was only a little bit, and he still couldn't see the situation under the cellar.
"Looks like I'll have to go down and have a look first!"
Huang Puping said that he would roll up his sleeves and go down to investigate.
"Hey, Uncle Huang, your leg is just right, didn't I tell you? Don't let you do heavy work, you're climbing up and down again, it's better not to do it, I'll go down for you." ”
Chu Xuan grabbed Huang Puping's arm, pulled Huang Puping aside, and jumped into the cellar with a light leap!
