Unexpectedly, she made a shocking turn in the second half of her sentence, and what she said was: "I was killed last night." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
It turned out that her sister-in-law was killed last night, and she came to complain today.
Shixi Village, located in the remote area, is a small and secluded village. There are forty or fifty families in the whole village, the sun rises and the sun sets, the men and women weavers have always been very calm, although the village is very poor, but there has never been any major case.
The woman who came to sue was surnamed Liu, and her husband's surname was Zhang. Zhang Liu is 28 years old this year and has been married to the Zhang family for 13 years.
Her in-laws died early, and her husband went to other places to do business the year before last and has not returned for three years, and she has always been in charge of this home.
There is no one else in the family, only her and her sister-in-law Zhang Caixia. Zhang Caixia is 17 years old this year, with a beautiful appearance, doing some knitting at home every day and rarely going out.
The whole Shixi Village is the most low-key of her family, and rural people like to go to the west when they are free, only their aunts and sisters-in-law almost never go to other people's houses.
Their sister-in-law and two weak women had no way to go to the field to farm, so they rented their land to others, and Zhang Liu's grinded some beans and made tofu to sell in the county.
When selling tofu, I also went to the embroidery village in the city to pick up some work, and after taking Zhang Caixia back and slowly embroidering it, Zhang Liu sent it to the embroidery village to earn some handicraft money.
Although the two of them live a hard life, they can also provide for their daily expenses. Usually there is some heavy work at home, and there are always people in the neighborhood who come to help.
Their aunt and sister-in-law are kind, and they are not ostentatious or cause trouble, and An An lives an ordinary life.
Yesterday, Zhang Liu went to the city to hand in the embroidery work and bought a box of rouge pollen for Zhang Caixia. When she got home, the sun was about to set, and Zhang Caixia went to the door from time to time to look for a while, and was relieved to see her figure.
Zhang Caixia made dinner, and the two of them talked and laughed constantly while eating. After eating, Zhang Liu went to the mill to push the mill, Zhang Caixia cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, lit the oil lamp, and sat under the lamp to mend her sister-in-law's clothes.
The embroidery work required was very fine, and the oil lamp was dim and could not be embroidered at night, and Zhang Liu always said that she was still young and did not allow her to go to the mill to push the mill.
Every night, Zhang Caixia is alone in the house, either sewing and mending, or making shoes. It's also very hard to say, but compared with Zhang Liu's half-night and half-night, she is simply enjoying happiness.
Last night's Shixi Village, it was quiet in the dead of night. The Niu family, which was separated from the Zhang family by four or five households, married a lot of sheds in the yard and had a lot of torches on the walls.
The courtyard of the Niu family was brightly lit, and the noisy people were noisy. Seeing that people got married, Zhang Caixia remembered that when she had dinner today, her sister-in-law mentioned that it was time to find a good family for her.
Once she gets married, her sister-in-law will be left alone in the family. My brother has not returned for three years, not to mention whether he has made any money, he has not even heard from him, he does not know his life and death, and his whereabouts are unknown.
My sister-in-law is so pitiful, she finally pulled her up, and she was about to leave the house when she was older. Zhang Caixia sighed lightly, reintroduced a section of thread, and continued to bow her head to sew and mend.
She was concentrating on mending her clothes, when suddenly a dark shadow blocked the faint light in front of her. She looked up suspiciously, and saw a man standing in front of her. Topless, I'm going to pounce on her.
She subconsciously screamed, but just as she made a little sound, her mouth was covered by a thick palm.
She struggled to the death and resisted desperately. However, there is a huge disparity in strength between men and women, and she can't shout even if she wants to. The man threw her down on the kang and grabbed a mass of rags and gagged her mouth tightly.
The man couldn't wait to tear her shirt when he had his hands free, Zhang Caixia took the opportunity to grab the scissors and stab at the man, but the man grabbed her wrist.
The cold light of the scissors suddenly ignited the man's anger, and for a moment the blood surged up, and the man grabbed Zhang Caixia's wrist and inserted the scissors hard. into her chest.
There was a fatality, and the man rushed out of the door in a panic. At this time, Zhang Liu just entered the door, and the door was dark and he couldn't see people clearly. Zhang Liu sensed that something was wrong and stretched out his arms to block him from going out.
"Who? Who are you? Zhang Liu shouted loudly, and his throat was a little broken in panic.
Where did the man dare to respond, as soon as he pushed Zhang Liu's away, he ran out, Zhang Liu's rushed up to catch the man, only scratched his back fiercely, and he escaped.
Zhang Liu was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, panting heavily, and shouted to his sister-in-law with all his might: "Caixia! Rosy clouds! We've got a thief, there's a thief! ”
The oil lamp in the house has long been extinguished, and Zhang Liu thought that his sister-in-law was not in the house, otherwise the thief would not have been so bold to break into the house, right?
Where can she go when she's not in the house in the middle of the night? Did you go to the hut? It's such a big yard in total, why didn't she respond so desperately?
After a long time, Zhang Liu got up from the ground, his whole body was weak, and his legs protruded. She leaned against the wall and walked slowly back into the room.
lit the oil lamp on the table, and was just about to sit down slowly, when he suddenly found that his sister-in-law was lying on the kang. What's going on? She picked up the oil lamp and moved closer to see that the sister-in-law had a ball of rags stuffed in her mouth, and her eyes were as staring as dead fish, and they were a little frighteningly raised.
No matter how scary his eyes are, he is not as scary as the scissors on his chest, Zhang Liu raised his hand and skimmed the oil lamp.
"Ahh Zhang Liu grabbed his hair with both hands and shouted: "Kill, kill, kill!" Zhang Liu rushed out of the door, standing in front of the window and shouting carelessly.
The great gift of the Niu family has been completed, and the people have just dispersed. The howl was heard especially clearly in the silent night, and the neighbors ran to it.
The incident happened suddenly, and no one was mentally prepared. The originally peaceful and quiet small village, a. The night boiled over.
The Niu family did a happy event so that everyone didn't sleep in the first half of the night, and the Zhang family had a murder and everyone didn't sleep in the second half of the night.
Some people expressed sympathy, some expressed anger, some comforted Zhang Liu's mourning, some encouraged Zhang Liu's complaint, some advocated letting the deceased be buried first, and some advocated catching the murderer first to avenge the deceased......
Zhang Caixia's death was very scary, the woman was scared at a glance, and it was inconvenient for the man to decorate the funeral for her. Zhang Liu cried so much that he fainted several times, and he couldn't count on it.
Bao Zheng of Shixi Village is also surnamed Zhang, and he sighed deeply: "Alas, you can't just look at it, right?" Let's take a hand and carry the person down first. ”
