Sure enough, after a while, the light of the lantern penetrated through the crack in the door, and after knocking on the door twice, Ah Fu's voice sounded respectfully: "Mr. Commissioner, there are thieves in the village." Wang Baochang and the armor team have been searching, and the family members of the nursing home have also risen. The young master is arranging for them to patrol the night, so let me inform them, please rest assured! ”

After Xie Yucheng agreed, Ah Fu turned around and left.

Brigand? Xie Yucheng was stunned, suddenly stepped forward, opened the door, and stopped him: "Brother Afu, the village is so noisy, I can't sleep left and right, it's better to accompany your young master to patrol the night!" ”

As he spoke, without waiting for him to react, he followed him downstairs.

Ah Fu looked stunned, and when he saw this, he had no choice but to lead Xie Yucheng to the main courtyard.

A few torches illuminated the courtyard, and Chen Qinghua divided the family members into groups and asked them to carry torches and patrol the courtyard of the mansion.

Chen Qinghua took the two family members and led Xie Yucheng to the hall to sit down and talk.

After a while, someone came to report that the thieves who entered the village had been arrested by the armor protection team and were going to be sent to Xikou Town tomorrow to be sold for money.

Sure enough, the barking of the dogs in the village gradually became quieter. Except for the night watchman, the rest of the Chen Mansion dispersed and went back to the house to sleep.

The night was silent, and the two were chatting, when a miserable howl suddenly sounded outside the gate: "The big filial master is not good, the big filial master, it's not good!" ”

Listen to the voice, it's the second brother of the cow.

Chen Qinghua's brows furrowed, and the two family members rushed to the door, pulled the bolt of the gun with a bang, pointed at the outsiders at the door, and reprimanded:

"What's the howl, Niu Er, I'm impatient with you?"

Niu Er ignored his words, waved his withered arm, pulled out the muzzle of the gun in front of him, and rushed into the door with a stumble, and when he arrived in front of Chen Qinghua, panting:

"Great filial piety, it's not good......"

Niu Er, who pounced in, is estimated to have just been beaten and was not lightly injured.

Xie Yucheng raised his eyes and couldn't help but gasp.

I saw that his face was full of bruises, and his eyes were large and small, and the small eyes were still normal, and he was blinking vigorously at this moment, trying to express to people an innocent and anxious state of mind; The other big one was swollen like a peach. Underneath the nostrils, there were bloodshot and snot. The upper and lower lips were also swollen, like two sausages side by side. His clothes had been torn to shreds, and only a few strands of cloth remained, barely resting on a small washboard-like body.

Niu Er at this time, the whole person is completely a beggar in the style of the Republic of China, with the wide and swollen sausage lips, with the pitiful little eyes full of longing, just staring at you, not stopping the electricity......

Oh my god!

Xie Yuzheng hurriedly turned his back, afraid that he would not be able to stand the electricity.

A family member ran over and grabbed Niu Er, dragged two steps away, and another family raised the butt of his gun and smashed it:

"The young master is blessed with a great life, what's wrong? A son of a dog who can't speak human words can't kill you! ”

This Niu Er was already injured a lot, but at this time, he was hit in the back of the heart by the butt of this gun, and his whole body fell to the ground like a broken bag.

The family still didn't give up, raised the gun, and was about to continue smashing, but Chen Qinghua waved his hand and stopped him:

"Stop! How many times have I told you that you can't hit people indiscriminately. Let people talk! ”

However, Niu Er, who fell to the ground, was silent and motionless. The beating family hurriedly leaned over to check, and after a while, the family turned pale, his fingers trembled, pointed to the ground, and reported to the master:

"Good...... It seems like..... Dead ......"

"What?"

Chen Qinghua and the others were suddenly shocked, Xie Yucheng glanced at him, bounced up, and stepped forward to pick up Niu Er.

The skinny Niu Er, I'm afraid he doesn't even weigh eighty pounds, and when he fishes it in his hand, it feels like he is picking up a light skeleton.

After a closer look, I saw Niu Er's teeth clenched, his eyes closed, Xie Yucheng lowered his head, listened carefully, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: Although this Niu Er's breath was weak, his heartbeat was still there.

Xie Yucheng subconsciously folded his hands and placed them on Niu Er's sternum, and was about to press it, but he felt that it was inappropriate...... If it was respiratory arrest, Xie Yucheng knew that artificial respiration must be performed immediately. But like this, I was beaten unconscious, but I didn't know what to do.

"I'll come, Brother Xie. I'm a medical student! ”

Chen Qinghua next to him said, took Niu Er from Xie Yucheng's arms, pressed the thumb of his left hand on the belly of Yintang, pressed the thumb of his right hand and pinched the middle of the person, while pressing, he turned his head towards the two families, and scolded angrily: "Quick, pour a bowl of warm water!" ”

After pressing for a long time, Niu Er finally let out a long sigh and woke up, Chen Qinghua fed him half a bowl of warm water, and he finally relieved his breath.

He blinked, there were two people squatting in front of the meeting, one was the young master of the Chen family, and the other was the commissioner, he quickly came back to his senses, struggled to sit up, crossed his sleeves, wiped the blood and snot on the end of his nose, and said intermittently: "Oh, big filial piety, Liuer is offended, Liuer is offended, Liuer is offended......"

Niu Er's lips were swollen and his pronunciation was inaccurate. Chen Qinghua waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay." What's the matter, so urgent? ”

Hearing this, Niu Er's face changed greatly, he turned over, fell to the ground, cried in his voice, and stammered: "Great filial piety, eldest young master, those bastards of the armor protection team are going to bully Widow Liu...... I—I can't stop them, big filial master, you have to save her...... Help her..... Back then, Master Xiao, you were in a hurry, but Widow Liu was ...... overnight I went back to my parents' house overnight to invite Langzhong's ......"

"Sure... Armor... Team ......", Chen Qinghua glanced at Niu Er, muttered to himself, and turned his head to look at Xie Yucheng, at this time, Xie Yucheng was looking over with blazing eyes, and nodded to him, he waved his hand to the two family members, "Leave a team of people at home, and the rest of the people will all follow me!" ”

Not long after, Niu Er and the two family members were in front, Chen Qinghua and Xie Yucheng were in the middle, and the two teams of gun-wielding family members were behind, and the group rushed straight to Widow Liu's house.

The moonlight was dim, and Niu Er in front of the team stumbled and ran fast, like a paper figure in a shadow puppet show.

Niu Er was panicked and anxious, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat. Niu Er's parents passed away when he was very young. Niu Er grew up on a little scraps from the east family and a little leftovers from the west family.

At that time, Widow Liu was not a widow, her man's name was Liu Gen. This Liu Gen is a good crop and a good hunter, and a pair of fists are hard enough. When the farm is busy, he keeps the fields in order, and when the farm is not working, he goes into the mountains to hunt, or find some other side jobs to earn some quick money. The family has a good life.

Just because Niu Er's father, who has been dead for many years, often took Liu Gen into the mountains to hunt when he was alive, and taught him all his hunting experience hand in hand, so Liu Gen took good care of Niu Er.

Under the protection of Liu Gen's pair of fists, there are very few people who dare to bully Niu Er, even if Niu Er touched the chicken in the upper village and stole the dog in the lower village.

Six years ago, Niu Er had a sudden illness, it was the middle of the night, Liu Gen got the news, didn't say a word, carried him on his back for dozens of miles of mountain roads, went to the back of the mountain to find Langzhong, and finally saved a life.

Liu Gen broke his waist when he went up the mountain to hunt, and he couldn't do it at that time, and he swallowed his breath halfway back by the villagers.

On the day of Liu Gen's burial, Niu Er cried nonsense.

This is not only because the backer who sheltered him is gone, nor is it just because Widow Liu and his wife are worried about the future life.

Why, Niu Er still hasn't figured it out. But since then, he has been obsessed with Widow Liu's mother and daughter. If I don't go to their house every day, my heart is empty and uncomfortable.

When it was dark, after letting go of Liu Daworm and his party, the Baojia team shared the reward, and the chief Wang Jiagui went to Chen's house to attend the banquet, and several second-rate sons who did not have a family gathered in the Wang Mazi shop at the entrance of the village to gamble money, Niu Er played two handfuls, won dozens of big money, took it home and hid it under the stove, and only ten big sons were left in his pocket as capital, ready to go back and continue gambling.

But this time he didn't continue his previous good luck, and after a while, all ten eldest sons were lost. However, Niu Er still didn't leave, and was still there watching people gamble, waiting for the final winner to eat.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for everyone's money to go into the pocket of Li Daya, the deputy of the Baojia team. As is customary, the winner who wins a lot of money invites all those who participate in the gambling "donation" to dinner.

Li Daya is very generous, this meal not only has meat, but also wine.

The problem is with the wine. Li Daya, who drank wine, got together with the armor guards who drank wine, and it became a dangerous powder keg.
