Chapter 14: Shadows in the Night

Running all the way, even though the car was driving, the people in the car were also exhausted. Along the way, look at the westward end of the sun, which is still some way from Xiaojiawan. Xiao Yikou said to the young master: "Drive faster, and strive to arrive before dark."

The young master nodded his head in fear, and the car swayed left and right on the dirt road. It was about to get dark, and the car was about to arrive at Xiaojiawan. Looking at Xiaojiawan from a distance in this sunset, it is like the dishes and chopsticks spread on a tablecloth, revealing a trace of homely warmth in the cleanliness. Xiao Yikou has been away from his hometown for more than ten years, and now he has come back from the world, and his relatives are separated by yin and yang. As soon as he saw his hometown in his memory, he was already in tears.

The memory of the mother's embrace is still in front of me, the father's cool lounge chair under the big tree in front of the door seems to be still there, a flock of ducks quacking in the rice field, there seem to be many, many voices echoing in the ears, but all this is no longer there, I want to throw myself into my mother's arms again, and once again face my father and shout Dad, but these have become a luxury, a symbol in memory.

Xiao Yikou turned his head and looked at the young master director who was driving, and his anger burned in his heart. It was this chief, the police chief who kept one side safe, who shattered his good home and let him never see his parents again. Xiao Yikou couldn't wait to kill the young master and director immediately, and vent his hatred. But Xiao Yikou still held back, the deceased is gone, and there is no way to stay, and the living should think about themselves.

Xiao Yikou's fists were sweating, and the young master knew that he had done something wrong at this time, and he didn't dare to come out. Due to the fear in his heart and improper operation, the car crashed into a tree on the side of the road. The car stopped instantly, and the young master said in panic: "Young man, I'm sorry, I'll start it immediately."

At this time, the people standing on the pedal outside the passenger door had already jumped to the ground and scolded: "You fucking want to murder me."

Xiao Yikou opened the car door and walked out. Standing on the side of the road and looking at the entrance of the village, looking at the location of the home in my impression, it was already a mess of broken bricks and tiles. The familiar roof of my memory is long gone, and the tree is dead and messy in the night wind.

Except for the rumors, there was a dead silence in the village. Even the housekeepers in the village collectively shut up, the villagers did not move around the village, and the whole village seemed to be suddenly blown to sleep.

Quiet, so quiet that you want to cry.

Xiao Yikou looked at it for a while, his mind was covered by a thick sense of melancholy, and he forgot about the danger that was coming. Maybe Xiao Yikou didn't have enough experience in the rivers and lakes, and she didn't know that the danger was already around.

The entire village was surrounded by the county police, who were waiting for Xiao Yikou to enter the cage and catch turtles in an urn. This is what the man said, hundreds of guns were waiting for Xiao Yikou in Xiaojiawan. Lack of experience and ignorance of the consequences, this is that Xiao Yikou at this time has not yet felt the approaching danger.

And that person had already seen the situation and knew that once Xiao Yikou entered the village, he would have no return. The man was indifferent, watching Xiao Yikou's movements expressionlessly. The so-called ignorant are fearless, Xiao Yikou said to Liu Yefei and Yu'er: "You are waiting for me in the car, I will take this villain to pay tribute to my parents and come back."

Liu Yefei pushed the car door, got out of the car, and said, "I'm going, my uncle and aunt lost their lives because of me, no matter what, I have to go and worship."

Yu'er also followed Liu Yefei at this time and said, "I'll follow you."

Xiao Yikou looked at the two girls with firm expressions, and a trace of emotion welled up in his heart, and he no longer shied. The two girls followed behind Xiao Yikou. Xiao Yikou dragged the young master director down from the cab position, and the young master director was already extremely frightened and embarrassed at this time.

The young master director couldn't stand firm because he was afraid, so Xiao Yikou dragged the young master director to the village. The people wanted to speak out at this time to prevent them from entering the village, but they still gave up after thinking about it. After walking for a short distance, Xiao Yikou looked back at the man: "If your friend is not worried, why don't you come with me?" ”

The man said: "For you, I am very relieved, and when the matter is over, I will go to the village to collect the body for you."

The man's words made Xiao Yikou suddenly remember that he had said that there were hundreds of guns waiting for him in the village, but he couldn't feel the danger in the night breeze.

Xiao Yikou said: "I understand the kindness of my friends, even if I am a ghost, I have to make you a friend, and it will not be in vain for me to go to this world."

The man smiled and said, "Friends are funny, do it and cherish it."

Seeing that the man didn't follow him to the village, Xiao Yikou began to check the surrounding environment vigilantly. The whole village is located on a flat land surrounded by mountains, if there are a hundred gunmen hidden on the edge of the village, then the three of them will not be able to leave this village tonight anyway?

It's just strange that where have the people in the village gone, even the villagers who have not worked in the nearby land, have they all gone to bed so early? It stands to reason that when it gets dark, the villagers should still be chatting at the entrance of the village or under the big tree, talking about the past and the present. But it's as if it doesn't exist? What's weird about this village?

Is it true that there are many people waiting for him in the village, as the man said? But what made Xiao Yikou puzzled was how could he make so many people worry about him? Of course, if it is a policeman, it is a different matter, because the police chief is in his hands, and the police are going to snatch the police chief back anyway.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yikou stood still and said to Liu Yefei and Yu'er: "The two girls stay for the time being, wait for me to take this person inside to investigate, and you will come in later, how about it?" ”

Liu Yefei was puzzled: "Is there any mystery in the village?" ”

Yu'er asked, "Will it be dangerous?" ”

Xiao Yikou said: "It's not for sure, but let's be careful, you quickly find a place to hide, and you can come in when I call you."

When Xiao Yikou said this, the two girls instantly became nervous. Then they saw a cowshed on the side of the road, and the two of them hid in fear. After seeing the two girls hiding, Xiao Yikou let out a sigh of relief and dragged the young master towards the already ashes of his home.

Home has become the grave of parents. None of my parents left this home, even after they died. The burning ashes concealed the bodies of the parents in the house, creating a large tomb. It's just that this tomb is very simple, a mess, no tombstones, no sacrifices.

When he arrived at the door, Xiao Yikou burst into tears at this time and shouted: "Daddy, the child is home!" ”

In the night, there was no response from parents, only the slight sound of the wind drifting slightly. There was no roar of the dog, let alone the noise of chickens and ducks, and the whole village resounded with Xiao Yikou's shout. The deep call reached the ears of the listener, and the heart was cold.

Whose child became an orphan? Whose parents are separated by yin and yang?

In the night sky, that star is visiting alone? That meteor broke my heart and pierced the sky?

The entire village became dead silent at Xiao Yikou's shouts. Xiao Yikou suddenly flew up, kicked the young master director to the ground, and said, "Kowtow, kowtow to my parents and admit your mistakes, otherwise I will kill you immediately."

The young master director had already regretted his mistake at this time, and he was paralyzed on the ground, and he still had the strength to kowtow. Xiao Yikou grabbed the head of the young master director and knocked it on the ground, and the burning ashes flew on the face of the young master, like a dead soul responding and saying: "Child, you have to forgive people and spare people, the deceased is gone, and the living will let him repent for the rest of his life."

Xiao Yikou looked at the dusty home and cried bitterly.

The young master said loudly: "The two old men are good, I can't help you, as long as you spare me not to die, I will offer you on the ancestral tablet of my family for the rest of my life, and I will come to you every day to serve you with incense and tea."

When Xiao Yikou heard the words of the young master, he got up and slapped him, scolding: "You are not worthy of being their son at all."

The young master covered half of his aching face, and lowered his head in tears.

Xiao Yikou finished crying and scolding, and kicked the young master's buttocks, and the young master's director gnawed mud and fell into the ashes, his mouth full of dust.

Xiao Yikou scolded: "Get out!" I don't want to see you again".

The young master director was a little unconvinced, and said, "Really let me go?" ”

Xiao Yikou said angrily: "You want me to change my mind? ”

The young master said with sincere fear: "I'll go, I'll go."

The young master stood up, anxious like a dog wounding his family, and walked towards the outside of the village. At this moment, the sound of the horn sounded: "Listen, people inside, you are surrounded, lay down your weapons, come out and surrender, otherwise, I will shoot after three counts".

The young master director was overjoyed and shouted: "Deputy Director Liu, don't shoot, I'm Director Wang, I'll come out immediately."

The horn sounded again and shouted: "Don't move, whoever moves will shoot".

The young master ran and shouted again: "Deputy Director Liu, I am Director Wang, don't mess around, otherwise I will never spare you when I go back."

The sound of the horn sounded: "Who is pretending to be our beloved Director Wang, you don't want to live anymore".

Then a gunshot rang out, and the young master was shot in the leg and fell to the ground. The young master scolded loudly: "You shitty Deputy Director Liu, turning your face faster than turning a book, telling you that I am Director Wang, and no one is pretending to be me."

Before the young master director finished speaking, the gunshots rang out again, and a layer of dust bounced up on the mountains around the young master. Xiao Yikou rolled a few times, and had already hidden behind the big tree, observing the surrounding situation.

I saw a dense crowd of figures all around, all holding guns and slowly approaching, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller. Xiao Yikou thought, it's okay, I can reunite with my parents.
