255 Chopping hands
The two didn't go far before they heard the voices of many people persuading peace, "Don't get excited, what is there to say, don't scare the child with a knife......"
"I think Jiaqiang is an obedient and hardworking person, there must be a misunderstanding, sixth aunt, you listen to our advice-"
"That's right, Jiaqiang is very sensible, what are you doing with a knife......"
He Tingting and Liu Junchu had good hearing, and when they heard this, they were a little surprised, so they glanced at each other and accelerated their speed forward. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking together, He Tingting couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jun, did you say that Aunt Shen was crazy?" β
"It shouldn't be crazy, maybe Shen Jiaqiang did something to anger Aunt Shen." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he couldn't help but reach out and hold He Tingting's little hand, "Wait a while, you follow me closely, don't run around." Aunt Shen took a knife, which was very dangerous. β
If the knife flies during the dispute, the danger is even higher. As for saying that Aunt Shen Liu is really crazy, using a knife to cut people, the consequences will be even more serious.
Thinking of this, Liu Junchu couldn't help but retreat. Although he has the power to protect himself, and he also believes that he can protect He Tingting, but when his life is endangered, he is unwilling to accept a little accident, so that he hurts He Tingting.
But before he could think of a good reason to persuade He Tingting to go home, he felt He Tingting holding his little hand tightly, and then He Tingting's voice sounded in his ears, "Why don't we go back, it's dangerous to have a knife." β
"Okay, let's go back." These words were right in Liu Jun's arms, and he was busy holding He Tingting's hand and walking back.
He Tingting and Liu Junchu held hands and walked a few steps, suddenly remembered their two cousins, and hurriedly stopped, "No, my two cousins are also outside." They are young and ignorant, so they run to watch, what if they are injured? β
Saying this, she still let go of Liu Junchu's hand, turned around and walked towards the village, "Brother Junchu, I have to go find them." β
The second grandmother was good to her, and she couldn't let her two cousins get hurt, which made the second grandmother sad.
"Then let's go together." Liu Junchu looked at his empty hand in a daze, but quickly quickened his pace to follow.
He Tingting nodded in response, and walked towards the village side by side with Liu Junxi.
As the two walked, they heard screams and dissuasion, as well as the shouting and scolding of Aunt Shen.
He Tingting was curious about what was going on, so he pricked up his ears to listen to Aunt Shen's voice,
"Whoever holds it, I'll cut it, so that you don't have to take more things from others in the future." It's because I'm unproductive, I can't keep your father, let your father go to Xiangjiang, I don't want you anymore, and I won't teach you anymore. I'm a woman myself, and I can't teach you well, so I just cut off this hand. β
He Tingting listened, feeling that the voice was weak, sad, desolate, and desperate, and extremely complicated, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him, his fingertips were cold, and he turned his head to look at Liu Junchu beside him, "Aunt Shen seems to be very sad. β
Liu Junxi didn't say anything, only nodded. But he had other plans in his heart, no matter how pitiful and miserable those people were, he had to take care of He Tingting and save her from being injured.
The two walked around the lotus pond towards the village, and as soon as they turned the corner, they saw Shen Jiaqiang running towards them.
"What's going on?" He Tingting saw it and asked hurriedly.
When Shen Jiaqiang heard He Tingting's voice, he hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw that it was indeed He Tingting, his face turned white, his two trembled, and his breath was depressed, so he actually stopped and never ran again.
He stopped like this, and the footsteps behind him sounded messily, and soon Aunt Shen Liu, waving a kitchen knife in her hand, ran over with a pale face.
"Shen Jiaqiang, don't run yet, your mother is here......" Seeing that Shen Jiaqiang was standing trembling and no longer running, the person who came to dissuade him hurriedly opened his mouth to urge.
Shen Jiaqiang looked at He Tingting, then turned his head to look at his mother, whose face was pale and sad, and sat down darkly.
He Tingting looked at Shen Jiaqiang's appearance, his mind turned sharply, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Liu Junxi. This look happened to meet Liu Jun's gaze, and he quickly exchanged tacit looks.
Combined with Shen Liu's aunt's mouthful and "multi-handed", she wanted to cut off one of Shen Jiaqiang's hands with a knife, obviously Shen Jiaqiang stole something. Coupled with Shen Jiaqiang's sudden change in face when he saw He Tingting, it is not difficult to guess that the pot of bluegrass stolen by the He family yesterday should have been secretly taken away by Shen Jiaqiang.
The walls of He's house and the back garden are very high, ordinary ladders can't climb up at all, and there is an iron fence outside, which is even more difficult to climb. As for the doors of the He family and the back garden, except for the two that are fixed in and out, the others have been locked for many years and will not be opened at all. The two doors that are opened, usually open and closed, will not let people get in.
Shen Jiaqiang knows the He family, and he can usually follow He Xuanlian or Grandma He into the He family, so it is not difficult to secretly take away a pot of bluegrass.
After analyzing it like this, He Tingting raised his eyes to look at Aunt Shen Liu, and asked in a loud voice, "Aunt Shen Liu, what are you doing here?" β
When Aunt Shen heard He Tingting's voice, her already ugly face became even more ugly, as if she was about to die in the next moment, she tightened the knife in her hand, revealing a sad smile, "Tingting, I'll give you an explanation and cut off the hand of this white-eyed wolf." β
As she spoke, she staggered forward, knelt down in front of Shen Jiaqiang, and said in a deep voice, "Stretch out your hand." β
Even though He Tingting had already guessed that Shen Jiaqiang had stolen his family's bluegrass, he was still startled when he heard Shen Liu's aunt say that he wanted to cut off Shen Jiaqiang's hand, and hurriedly stepped forward.
But before she could take a step, she was tightly pulled by Liu Junju, and she couldn't struggle at all.
He Tingting was in a hurry and looked at Liu Junxi, "Brother Junchu, let go of me quickly." β
"Don't go up, take a look." Liu Junchu held He Tingting's hand tightly and refused to let her step forward.
He Tingting was anxious in his heart, and looked at Aunt Shen Liu while struggling.
At this time, Aunt Shen Liu's left hand had already pressed Shen Jiaqiang's left hand with her knee, and she held the knife in her right hand and shook it at the left hand, obviously wanting to cut it down, but she was a little unbearable, and her face was full of suffering.
"Aunt He, don't be like this, if you have something to say......" The woman next to her hurriedly stepped forward to help hold Aunt Shen's hand holding the knife.
But when Aunt Shen saw someone coming, she kept waving the knife in her hand and said sharply, "Don't comeβ"
Looking at the waving kitchen knife, everyone's faces changed and they kept retreating.
Although he said that he didn't want to see Shen Jiaqiang cut off his hand as a teenager, compared with his own hand, that compassion was much lighter.
Aunt Shen Liu waved away, stared at Shen Jiaqiang tightly, with tears in her eyes, and asked softly, "Second brother, do you have anything else to say?" β
Shen Jiaqiang's face was full of shame, his eyes were red, and he replied weakly, "No." β
"That's good, that's good." Aunt Shen Liu couldn't stop nodding, tears dripping down, and said gently, "If you do something wrong, you will have to suffer the consequences." Mom will be very fast, it only hurts once, and after the pain, you will remember it, and you will not do it again in the future. Don't blame your mother, your mother can't teach you well, so you have to do this. β
As she spoke, her face flashing with determination, she raised the knife in her hand aloft.
He Tingting was shocked and couldn't stop struggling, wanting to step forward.
Although she was angry that Shen Jiaqiang was a white-eyed wolf, and she would take revenge for stealing bluegrass from her house, she also knew that Shen Jiaqiang was not a bad person, and there was no need to cut off a hand as punishment.
To say something ugly, He Tingting felt that letting Shen Jiaqiang go to prison was better than cutting off one hand.
But no matter how she struggled, she couldn't get out, and was tightly held by Liu Junju.
"Shen-" She just wanted to scream, but her voice was immediately drowned out by Shen Jiaqiang's yelling, "I know I'm wrong, but I don't want to see you die, I don't want to become a wild child without a father or mother." I want you to have money to heal your illness, live well, and live a long life! I want my brother to continue studying, I want to make our family better......"
When He Tingting heard this, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, he stopped struggling and looked at Aunt Shen Liu.
I saw Aunt Shen Liu's whole body trembling, as if she was going to faint in the next moment, tears kept falling like rain, she trembled her lips, and stammered, "Mom, Mom is dead, you still have your dad, and your dad, you, you are not a wild child without father and mother, your dad he, he will come back......"
Although she said that her husband went to Xiangjiang and didn't want children, it was just angry talk, and deep down, she still deceived herself into thinking that he would come back one day. After all, she gave birth to two sons and was able to inherit Shen Liu's ancestry.
"No-" Shen Jiaqiang shouted with red eyes, his eyes were full of resentment, and his voice became extremely resentful, "He's not my father, I'll never recognize him, never!" The scum who abandoned his wife and children, hit the street, I will never recognize him! Why didn't he die at sea back then, and how did he survive it? β
Many people in this village were smuggled to Xiangjiang, and after settling down, they would come back and bring back the money they had earned from their hard work to their families. But only his father, who found another woman to form a family, ignored his siblings and mother.
It's not that I don't look forward to it, I can't help but pull my uncle who came back from Xiangjiang to inquire, ask them about their father's situation, ask when they will come back, and if they miss them.
But without exception, all the people said that his father had found another woman, had already started a family, and would never come back in this life.
He also deceived himself, thinking that the villagers deliberately deceived him, but as he grew older and matured, he no longer dreamed of deceiving himself, and he understood that his father had really abandoned his wife and children and would not come back.
His father had a new wife, children, and family, and he didn't remember his suffering mother and several children.
After seeing his mother working hard day by day, his waist was bent, and his hair was dyed white, just to make him and his brothers and sisters live well, he slowly developed a grudge against that father.
He Tingting listened to Shen Jiaqiang's shout, and felt extremely desolate in his heart, so he sighed softly.
Aunt Shen Liu suddenly cried loudly, "It's me who is sorry for you, it's my fault...... she didn't know that the man wouldn't come back, but she didn't want to believe it!
When the people around heard this, their eyes were red, and they wiped their tears with their hands, but they couldn't say a word of comfort.
Shen Liu did abandon his wife and children, I heard that he has children and daughters now, how can he come back? Aunt Shen Liu's person worked hard like a cow, gritting her teeth to support a family, and the people in the village saw it in their eyes and admired it in their hearts.
But admiration is admiration, Shen Liuwolf's heart and lungs don't come back and they don't give money, and they can't help and can't speak!
Aunt Shen Liu cried and cried, and suddenly said sharply, "Mom is sorry for you, this hand is broken, and Mom will try to live in the future, be your hand-" Saying this, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, raised the kitchen knife, and slashed at Shen Jiaqiang's hand.
"Ah...... Don't cut it-" He Tingting watched the kitchen knife cut down, and screamed in fright.
She has also done bad things, and even when she knew that Shen Yanfang was targeted, she didn't feel afraid, but at this moment, she couldn't stand it psychologically when she saw that one of her playmates was about to have a hand cut off by his mother.
In the midst of the screams, I suddenly felt that my eyes were dark, and then my eyes were hot, and someone covered my eyes with my hands.
"Don't cut it...... the villagers screamed, but no one dared to grab the kitchen knife.
He Tingting was scared in his heart, and felt sorry and desperate, so he leaned on Liu Junxi tightly in fright.
Liu Junci seemed to know that she was afraid, and hugged her with one hand, a stable heartbeat, warm body temperature, and a unique breath belonging to a teenager made her heart like falling into an ice cave not too cold.
"Mom-" another shouted.
He Tingting was covered with his eyes, and his mind was uncertain, so he didn't hear whose voice it was.
"Don't cry, Shen Jiaqiang's hand has not been cut off, Shen Jiafu is here......" Liu Junchu's gentle and powerful voice suddenly came from her ears, and then the hand pressing on her eyes moved away, and light reappeared in front of her eyes.
Through the tears, He Tingting vaguely saw that Shen Jiafu held the hand held by Shen Liu's aunt, and shouted with red eyes, "It wasn't Jia Qiang who stole it, I stole it, I'll go to prison, don't cut Jia Qiang's hand." β
He Tingting's heart suddenly fell to the ground, let out a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at Liu Junchu with a smile, "He's fine, he's fine......" She didn't have to see the bloody picture of her childhood friend's broken hand.
Liu Junxi looked at the girl who was crying and laughing in front of him, smiled comfortingly, and reached out to help her wipe away her tears, "Well, he's fine, don't be afraid." β
After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Liu's aunt, put away his smile, and said in a deep voice, "Don't make trouble, let's talk about it and solve the matter." β
Although he is young, his height has reached one meter seven, which is taller than many men in Shenjia Village, coupled with his background and bearing, it actually made Shen Liu's aunt feel afraid in her heart, and she didn't dare to refute it for a while.
The surrounding villagers listened and hurriedly opened their mouths to persuade them.
In the end, because the adults of the He family were not at home, He Tingting decided to deal with the matter with Liu Junchu - she and Liu Junci went to Aunt Shen's house.
Sitting at Aunt Shen's house, He Tingting saw his pot of bluegrass, and also saw Shen Jiaqiang's two younger sisters who were crying and red-eyed.
