Chapter 166: A Man or a Pig?
I knew that my wife didn't know how to water, so I was in a hurry immediately, and hurriedly begged Zhao Tiezhu to go down to the river to save people.
This pond belongs to Zhao Tiezhu's family, and Zhao Tiezhu is the best person in the village.
Zhao Tiezhu glanced at the boiling pond, frowned, and said, "Old Zhao, it is very dangerous to go down the river at night in this winter, and now this river is full of dying and struggling pigs, I may not be able to get up if I go down." ”
I was stunned.
I really didn't expect that Zhao Tiezhu would reject me.
You must know that Zhao Tiezhu's family is in difficulty, and I have helped his family a lot. And he owed me a lot of pork on credit, and he would refuse me the first time I asked him for help.
For the sake of my wife and children, I can only plead lower.
In the end, Zhao Tiezhu had no choice but to say: "Okay, I can save your wife." But you've got to get the money. I risked my life to save people, and I had to give me 2,000 yuan. ”
I heard me right, Zhao Tiezhu actually talked to me about money at this time?
My wife's cry for help became weaker and weaker, and I agreed to Zhao Tiezhu in a hurry.
"Okay, I don't want any money you owe me, you go and save people. ”
Who knew that Zhao Tiezhu was angry: "The money owed is the money owed, and the money saved is counted as the money saved by saving people, these are two different things, how can you use your accounts to pay off your debts." ”
"But...... But I don't have any money. I said.
I donated money to the school, was fined by the traffic police, and then married my daughter-in-law, I really had no money in my hand.
"If you don't have money, there's no way. Zhao Tiezhu said: "I am the pillar of the family, in case I die in the river, I have no money for my wife and children, how will you let my family live in the future?"
"I owe ...... first," I said.
"Your pigs are drowning, where did you get the money to pay me back? Zhao Tiezhu replied coldly, turned around and went home.
I was furious.
This Zhao Tiezhu is simply a wolf's heart, he actually let my wife and children drown alive and didn't care.
But now is not the time to be angry at all, it is still important to save your wife and children.
I had to beg someone else to save my baby.
But the villagers who are kind and pleasant on weekdays have become devils who regard money as their lives at this time, and if I can't get the money, they won't save people.
In the end, I watched as the villagers gradually disappeared.
I yelled in despair and jumped into the river like crazy.
I want to save my wife and children, I have to save them!
But I didn't know water at all, and as soon as I jumped into the river, I sank and a strong feeling of suffocation came.
I panicked and struggled angrily, trying to surface.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt a pair of cold hands grab my feet and drag me deeper into the river.
I immediately looked down and could see a shadowy figure below me, who was pulling me underwater.
Who is this man, and why is he trying to harm me?
I struggled angrily, but to no avail, I couldn't get out of the other person's palm.
I gradually sank to the bottom of the river, feeling the cold and biting water eroding my body, and I was losing consciousness rapidly......
After a while, I was woken up by a call of calls.
I opened my eyes in a daze, and found that I was lying on the bank of the river.
Next to me, a tall, thin man in a black cloak stood.
I looked at him suspiciously, and he looked at me with deep eyes.
I whispered, "Who are you? Why am I here?"
The other party said: "You are Zhao Zhongxing, you almost drowned, it was I who saved your life." ”
It was only then that I remembered how I had almost drowned.
I jumped up and tried to rush into the river.
My wife and children are still in the river, and I'm going to save them.
But the black cloak stopped me: "No need to go, your wife and children have been saved by me, and now they are at home." ”
"Really?" I was ecstatic.
The black cloak nodded: "You'll know when you go home and see." ”
I ran home.
On the way, I couldn't help but feel angry as I recalled the bits and pieces of last night.
I have done so much for this village, and almost every villager has received my kindness, but at the critical moment, those villagers were so ruthless that they watched my wife and children drowned and ignored it.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I even vomited blood in anger.
I swore in my heart that from now on, no matter what the villagers begged me to do, I would never help them again.
When I got home, I found that my wife was really sitting on the kang, but strangely, she still had a hijab on her head.
My two children, too, sat on the edge of the bed, looking at me with blank expressions.
I walked up to my wife excitedly and wanted to take off her red hijab: "Wife, it's okay if you're okay, it's okay." ”
But my wife stopped me and said coldly: "Zhao Zhongxing, our pig was snatched away by a neighbor." You go and get the pig back. ”
"If you don't come back, I'm not going to let you lift my hijab. ”
At that moment, I was even more furious.
Those hateful folks took advantage of my coma to rob my pigs.
It's just a bunch of robbers.
I didn't hesitate to say yes to my wife, and went to the villagers' houses to ask for my pigs.
I first came to Zhao Tiezhu's house.
At a glance, I saw my pig, walking around his house.
When Zhao Tiezhu saw me, his face was full of fear, and he asked me tremblingly why I came back again.
I glanced at Zhao Tiezhu angrily and said that I was here to ask for my pig.
Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly said that he didn't steal my pig.
I smiled coldly, and said in my heart that this Zhao Tiezhu is blind to me. The pig was dangling right under my nose.
Without saying a word, I took out the rope and tied the pig and pulled it home.
Zhao Tiezhu was in a hurry, and hurriedly rushed up to stop me, shouting: "That's a person, Zhao Zhongxing, you can see clearly, that's a person!"
Person?
I, Zhao Zhongxing, can't even tell the difference between a human and a pig?
Zhao Tiezhu tried his best to stop me from taking the pig away.
I was furious and fought with Zhao Tiezhu.
Fortunately, in the end, the kind-hearted man who saved my life, the black cloak, came and helped me block Zhao Tiezhu, and I successfully took the pig away.
My wife was very happy when she saw me bring the pig back, but she still refused to take off her hijab.
She asked me, what if the pig ran again?
I don't know what to think, so I just chopped off the pig's limbs and hooves and tied the pig firmly to the post.
After that, I went to another villager's house again to look for pigs.
When the other villagers saw me, they were also horrified, and they asked me what I was doing when I came back.
I didn't say a word, and just took away my pigs that they had stolen.
During this time, the villagers also tried their best to stop me, saying that the pigs were human beings and I could not take them away.
Each time, the black cloak would appear in time to stop the villagers and allow me to take my pigs away.
For two days and two nights, I didn't eat or sleep, and finally got back the pigs that had been stolen by the villagers.
After recovering those pigs, I also found a strange phenomenon, that is, my pigsty is not enough, and it seems that there are a lot more pigs that I have snatched back.
I didn't think much about it at the time, the pigsty was not enough, so it would be better to kill some pigs.
In this way I killed half of the pigs, and the pigsty finally contained all the pigs.
While I was killing the pigs, the men of the village were watching from my doorstep.
Each of them wept like a dead father, and they scolded me and wanted to rush up and beat me.
But in the end, the men were stopped by the black cloaks, and they couldn't rush up at all.
I asked my wife if I could take off her hijab now.
But my wife told me that I couldn't lift her hijab just yet. Because there are still a lot of pigs that have run away to other villages.
I had no choice but to drag my tired body to the nearby village to look for pigs.
I didn't expect to be found.
In a few nearby villages, maybe a dozen villages, almost every household has a pig from my family.
Without saying a word, I snatched the pigs back.
The reaction of those men was almost exactly the same as Zhao Tiezhu's, and they all lied to me that those pigs were people.
I'm tired of hearing this kind of lie, so I don't bother to entangle with them, just looking for pigs on my own.
