Deng Chongqi saw the two leaving, struggled to get up from the ground, patted the dust on his body and covered his lower abdomen with his hands, and staggered to open the firewood door and returned home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And as soon as he got home, he heard his father's voice coming from the house: "Is Da Lang back?" ”
When Deng Chongqi heard this, he also shouted to the father in the house: "Dad, it's me, I'm back." As he spoke, he strode towards the house, but before entering the house, Deng Chongqi carefully patted the dust on his body.
When he entered the house, Father Deng asked softly to Deng Chongqi, "Da Lang, how did you borrow money from your cousin's house?" ”
Hearing his father's question, Deng Chongqi sighed, lowered his head and whispered to his father: "My cousin's family doesn't have any money at this time. ”
Hearing this, Daddy Deng struggled twice on the bed to get up, but where could Daddy Deng's legs be disabled, or Deng Chongqi helped Daddy Deng up from the bed and let Daddy Deng lean against the wall.
After Daddy Deng straightened his waist and leaned on the bed, he looked at his son Daddy Deng and sighed, and said to Deng Chongqi: "Dalang, our family still has some land, since we can't borrow money, let's sell the family's land, and sell it to Lizheng, let's make him a tenant and still have a mouthful of food." ”
Deng Chongqi heard his father's words and wanted to say something, but after being silent for a while, he nodded and said to his father: "I understand." ”
Okay, then Dalang, you can take our family's land deed to Lizheng's house in the afternoon.
When Deng Chongqi heard his father's words, he didn't say anything, just nodded and agreed.
In the afternoon, after Deng Chongqi took the deed to Lizheng's house, Daddy Deng looked at his crippled legs, closed his eyes, but he still couldn't stop leaving tears in his eyes, the tears flowed on Daddy Deng's wrinkled face, like a clear spring flowing on the land that had been dry for several years.
Then Daddy Deng opened his eyes that were not bright due to perennial lack of nutrition, and there was an inexplicable firmness in his eyes, he looked up at the earth-colored roof, and whispered to himself: "People are old, they should die if they have lived enough, they should die, they should die......"
Saying that, Daddy Deng turned his head to look at the table next to the bedside, Daddy Deng gritted his teeth and plucked up all his strength, and slammed into the corner of the table......
This poor father committed suicide for the sake of his son! Because he understands that as long as he lives, he is the biggest drag, and their family has no way to feed their father and son now!
An hour later, Deng Chongqi returned home with the money from the sale of the family's land, he opened the firewood door of his house as usual, and shouted in the yard habitually: "Dad, I'm back." ”
But this time Daddy Deng didn't have any response, Deng Chongqi thought that his father was asleep, so he walked to the front of the house, opened the door and said, "Dad, don't sleep, I'm back." ”
Then he went into the house, and then he saw his father, his father's body, which was bloodied on his forehead, and half of his body was lying outside the bed, and he shook it, and the money bag in his hand fell to the ground, and then he rushed to the bed like crazy.
He carefully picked up his father, and then he held his father's body and cried.
He cried and cried, but his father never returned.
The next day, the errand officer surnamed Liu and the fat errand officer really "kept their promises", and they came to Deng Chongqi's house early in the morning.
On the way, the fat officer asked the officer surnamed Liu: "Old Liu, it's only been one day, can that kid surnamed Deng get the tax?" ”
Hearing the fat man's words, the officer surnamed Liu said to the fat man with a lewd smile: "Fat man, you don't know, just yesterday that kid has sold the family's property, and now is the time when that kid has money, so of course we have to come early, otherwise if others know, we won't be able to eat this piece of meat." ”
When the fat man heard this, he also grinned at the official surnamed Liu and said: "Lao Liu is still well-informed, haha, this time you have to squeeze this kid dry, otherwise you will be sorry for my flesh." ”
When the officer surnamed Liu heard the fat man's words, he also laughed, and said to the fat man: "Follow me, I promise not to make your fat lose weight." ”
As he was talking, the two also arrived at Deng Chongqi's house.
As soon as they arrived at Deng Chongqi's house, the two of them saw Deng Chongqi standing in the courtyard, and Deng Chongqi was standing in the courtyard like a madman with his hair covered in dust.
Although it was a little strange to see these two people, the officer surnamed Liu still stood outside the fence wall and shouted to Deng Chongqi: "The surname Deng, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid for me to labor and management, have you made up the taxes?" ”
Deng Chongqi heard the shouting of the officer surnamed Liu, raised his face to the officer surnamed Liu and said, "It's all done, the two of you come into the courtyard, and I'll go back to the house now to take it out for you." ”
Saying that, Deng Chongqi shook his body and walked towards the house, and the two servants outside the courtyard also laughed fiercely when they heard this: "Count you as a kid." Then the two of them pushed open the fence gate and entered the courtyard. ”
Just stood diagonally in the courtyard, waiting for Deng Chongqi to take out the money.
However, the two waited in the courtyard for three minutes, Deng Chongqi still didn't get out of the house, and the officer surnamed Liu also began to get impatient, he scolded while walking towards the house: "You yeye, surnamed Deng, your kid is dead." ”
In the shouting and scolding, he pushed open the door of the house, and then saw Deng Chongqi's hideous face and the kitchen knife held high, he also reacted at this time and knew that something was wrong, turned around and wanted to run, but Deng Chongqi's kitchen knife was faster than him.
Deng Chongqi roared angrily and exerted all his strength with both hands, just like he usually chopped wood, the kitchen knife slashed accurately on the head of the officer surnamed Liu with great force, and the blood splashed on Deng Chongqi's extremely hideous face.
In just a short moment, the officer surnamed Liu, who was still showing off his martial arts just now, fell in a pool of blood, staring at him and dying no longer to die.
And the fat officer who witnessed all this, as if he was stunned by this scene, stood trembling in place, and even the water and fire stick in his hand fell to the ground.
When the fat officer watched Deng Chongqi pull out the kitchen knife that was cut on the head of the officer surnamed Liu, and walked towards him with the kitchen knife with his face covered with blood, he was completely frightened, he screamed and wanted to escape, but the trembling pair of fat legs had long since refused to listen to his call, and as a result, he fell to the ground like a fat pig, and then crawled out with his hands and feet, shouting for help while crawling.
But how could he escape like this, Deng Chongqi caught up with him in just a few seconds.
Deng Chongqi looked at the fat servant crawling on the ground, restrained the hideous expression on his face, and said to the fat servant with a calm face: "Do you know, just yesterday, my father committed suicide, in order to let me survive, he committed suicide, do you know?!" He asked, growling.
It's all because of you, it's all because of you bastards, you killed my father, I'm going to kill you, kill you all. He roared, slashed at the fat servant with the kitchen knife in his hand, obviously his father's suicide, the death of his only relative, had made Deng Chongqi completely crazy.
And the fat servant who crawled on the ground was so frightened that he only collapsed on the ground and shouted for mercy, and then was hacked to death by the crazy Deng Chongqi.
Deng Chongqi didn't know how many knives he had chopped, and how long he had chopped, until he was exhausted and collapsed to the ground.
Then he looked at the two officers he had killed, and he laughed and said things like "Daddy, I've avenged you", and then he cried again.
And when he vented his emotions like a madman, the other townspeople in Deng Town also rushed here when they heard the sound, but those townspeople saw that although they came, none of them dared to approach Deng Chongqi in the madness, after all, no one dared to approach a madman who would kill people at every turn.
When Deng Chongqi finally finished venting, he rested on the ground for a while and stood up silently.
Standing up, he ignored the exclamations of the townsfolk outside the courtyard, and didn't even look at them.
He just shook himself and walked to his house, and then he turned his gaze to the bed, but it was already empty, his father had been buried by him yesterday, but he still stared at the empty bed for a long time, as if he was remembering something.
Then he went to the stove, took the flint, lit the fire, and the fire burned brighter and brighter.
The raging fire set the whole room on fire, and Deng Chongqi lay on the bed in the flames, ending his life with ****.
As for the townspeople outside the courtyard, they were also stunned by this scene, it was too late to save people, those townspeople looked at the raging fire with cloudy eyes, they didn't feel any warmth, but their hearts were so cold and dark.
