Chapter 35: Gunshots
After the rooster crowed, the three Wu Zhanshan brothers left the coal yard and went home to sleep. Stay until the evening and continue to guard.
In a blink of an eye, after squatting for three nights in a row, the coal yard was calm and there was no abnormal situation.
Boss Du relaxed his vigilance and said, "Is this really weird? There are no coal thieves, huh? Zhanshan, I'm sorry for you these days
Brother, you won't be there tomorrow night. ”
Boss Du rewarded the Wu brothers with more than a dozen oceans and sent them away.
Zhao Yunwu's last night shift. Before going to work, the old strange called Zhao Yunwu aside and said, "Yunwu,
Do you have any spare houses in Zhaojiagou? I don't want to live in a coal yard, I want to rent a house. You keep an eye on me. ”
Zhao Yunwu said: "Aren't you living well in the coal yard? How did you think of renting a house? ”
"Yunwu, let me tell you the truth, there are really coal thieves in the coal yard. I didn't dare to care, I could only watch. ”
"Why don't you care about Lee?"
"Phew! That Li is not a good thing, he has a collusion with stealing coal. He managed the coal yard for Boss Du, and colluded with coal thieves behind his back! ”
"Oh, it turns out that Li is guarding his own theft, isn't this Boss Du?"
"Look at it, Wu Zhanshan and they will withdraw, and the coal thief will come tonight. Let's not care about those idle things. ”
"Sooner or later, this coal yard will make people steal yellow, Li is really a trick!"
"Yunwu, wait a few days, I'll go to your house and see your grandma! Look at what my eldest nephew and daughter-in-law look like? ”
"Okay, let's have two cups of wine then!"
"Uncle loves to drink sorghum wine the most, and when he blanches it with hot water, he drinks it to the burning heart in his stomach, and it makes him feel more comfortable."
"Okay, Yunwu will give you two catties of sorghum wine, so that you can drink enough!"
"If you can nibble on a small roast chicken, it will be even more beautiful, alas, Uncle Duo is not productive, and his saliva is about to flow out as he speaks."
"Hehe, Yunwu will buy you a small roast chicken and let you hold it and nibble!"
"Good! Good! ”
Workers went to work as usual. After getting off work, Li sent the workers away early. Zhao Yunwu carried an oil lamp and just walked to the mountain
Below, a gunshot was heard in the coal yard on the mountainside.
The gun rang out, and there was no movement.
"What's going on in the coal yard?" Zhao Yunwu had an ominous premonition in his heart, feeling that something big must have happened in the coal yard.
When Zhao Yunwu returned home, he was lying on the kang and still thinking about the gun in the coal yard, and he couldn't fall asleep after turning around.
The next morning, as soon as Zhao Yunwu arrived in the coal yard, he saw a very tragic scene, the old man died strangely.
The body was parked outside the shed, covered with a quilt.
"How did the old weird die?" Zhao Yunwu asked.
"Yesterday after you left, I lay down. The old weird went out to relieve himself. After a while, I heard a gunshot. I ran out and saw that the old monster was covered in blood and out of breath. Lee said.
"Who fired the shot?"
"Don't know?"
Zhao Yunwu lifted the quilt and saw that the old strange appearance was very peaceful, as if he was asleep. He was shot in a hole in the chest.
An old potter ended a life of misery in this way. The death is not clear, and it is very strange.
"Uncle, you died too miserably!" Zhao Yunwu was very sad.
Although he has only known Lao Weiwei for less than half a month, Zhao Yunwu has already formed a deep friendship with him. Who is so dehumanizing, not to mention stealing coal, but also shooting and killing!
Zhao Yunwu re-covered the corpse, looked at Li Jiangtou angrily, and didn't say a word.
Li looked at Zhao Yunwu's angry gaze, and the horizontal flesh on his face twitched twice, looking like he didn't care about himself, very hateful!
The death of the old eccentric alarmed Boss Du. Boss Du rushed over in a panic, uncovered the quilt, and took a look at the corpse.
"Lao Li, what do you think of the coal yard?" Boss Du blamed.
"Boss Du, don't blame me for this, I didn't expect the old weird to die?" Lee turned his head and began to defend himself.
"What doesn't blame you? Thou hast guarded thyself and thou hast worn a pair of open crotch trousers with the coal thief. Boss Du, you don't use people properly, Li has a head and a coal thief. Zhao Yunwu finally couldn't help but erupt.
"You don't talk nonsense? I am loyal to Boss Du, how can I guard and steal from myself? ”
"Boss Du, if you keep such a person, sooner or later the coal yard will let people steal yellow! Now there are dead people. The old weird has worked in the coal yard all his life, but he didn't expect to end up like this. ”
"Yunwu, don't get excited"
"How can I not be excited? The old weird is too bitter in this life, what should he do after his death? ”
"I'll pay for burying the old weird, right?"
"The old weird died, what will happen to the dead in the future? Who will dare to work in your coal yard in the future? ”
"Look at what you said Yunwu, I don't want to die?"
"Dismissal of Boss Li, yes, dismissal of Boss Lee, keep such a person, we won't do it!"
Li saw that the anger of the crowd was aroused, and he flicked his sleeves and said, "Damn, there is no place to keep a master here, there is a place to keep a master!" I'm gone! After saying that, he rolled up the cover and walked away.
"Damn, it's really cheap, what is this?" The potters were strongly dissatisfied.
"Yunwu, did you take a few people to bury the old monster?" Boss Du said.
According to the instructions of the old strange before his death, Zhao Yunwu buried him on the slope of Chaoyang in Nanshan.
Zhao Yunwu carried two bottles of sorghum wine, bought a roast chicken, and came to the grave to worship.
The old eccentric requirements are not high, and the only wish is to drink some wine and eat a roast chicken, but he died before he ate it, and Zhao Yunwu wanted to fulfill his last wish.
Putting the roast chicken in front of the grave, Zhao Yunwu took a big sip of wine and said sadly: "Uncle, I came to drink with you." You're alone in this world. You're afraid that no one will care about you after you die, and you won't even have anyone to go to the grave, don't be afraid, I'll have Zhao Yunwu! In the future, when it comes to the day of going to the grave, I, Zhao Yunwu, will come to see your old man. Talk to you and take a sips. Come, uncle, drink! As he spoke, he spilled wine on the grave.
Two bottles of sorghum wine, spilled one bottle, and drank one bottle by himself, Zhao Yunwu felt a little drunk, and said abruptly: "Uncle, you can go。。。。。 ”
After sitting in front of the grave for a long time, Zhao Yunwu got up and left.
The old strange death made Zhao Yunwu very sad, and the upright Zhao Yunwu wanted to find out the truth and see who was the murderer.
Zhao Yunwu and Boss Du have the following conversation.
"Boss Du, the old weird died too unjustly!"
"No, I didn't expect this to happen in my land."
"You should be responsible for the old weird death."
"Yunwu, look at what you said, what responsibility do I have, and I don't want him to die?"
"Don't you just look at the old weird, no home and no mouth, and a bachelor?"
"Didn't I pay to bury him, what else do you want?"
"You bosses, your hearts are too dark. From this day on, I will live in the coal yard, and I will not give up until this matter is found out. ”
"Yunwu, if you can catch the coal thief, I'll let you be the leader."
"Who is the leader? I'm here to get an explanation for the old weird. ”
"Yunwu, the old monster is dead, and I don't want to die again. Don't get me in trouble. ”
"When is this going to be, are you still afraid of getting into trouble?"
Zhao Yunwu returned home, took off the sleeve gun hanging on the beam, and his heart fluctuated: "It's really providential, I originally wanted to live a peaceful life for a few days, and I didn't want to touch the gun again." God, are you pushing me? ”
Zhao Yunwu took off the bullet bag, pressed the bullet into the chamber of the gun, and shot a fine light from his eyes.
"Yunwu, why did you touch the gun again? Is something going on? Ya'er could see that Zhao Yunwu was a little abnormal.
"It's nothing, I won't go home these days, there's something going on in the coal yard."
"What's the matter?"
"Daughter-in-law, don't ask, I won't touch a gun again when I'm done with this. If you don't feel at ease, I can swear by it. ”
Ya'er knew that Zhao Yunwu must have something important to do, so she quietly stopped asking.
Zhao Yunwu went to the coal yard with a gun on his back. Ya'er lit an incense stick, faced the fairy hall, and prayed silently: "Immortals."
Bless, bless my family Yunwu, peace and security......"
Zhao Yunwu arrived at the coal yard and kept watch from dusk until late at night。。。。。 After guarding for several nights in a row, he really couldn't support it, and wanted to lie down and take a nap, but in a daze, he suddenly heard a movement in the coal yard, and Zhao Yunwu suddenly cheered up.
In the moonlight, I saw a horse-drawn cart slowly entering the coal yard. There were three people sitting in the carriage, one handlebar-style, and two others.
"Coal stealer! They're finally showing up! Zhao Yunwu held the sleeve gun tightly.
The driver parked the carriage beside the coal pile and glanced at the shed, where there was no light. It turned out that Zhao Yunwu had just blown out the oil lamp.
The three of them looked around sneakily, and saw that there was no movement in the coal yard, so they were relieved. They pulled out three shovels from the cart, one for you and one for me, and began to load the cart with coal.
These three men were good at the work, and in a moment a gap was dug in the coal pile.
Now Zhao Yunwu understands everything.
If they rushed out at this time, the three thieves would have fled. After waiting for so many days, he didn't care about this meeting, Zhao Yunwu wanted to catch them all, and he couldn't let anyone escape.
Since the shed was surrounded by coal piles, which could be used as cover, Zhao Yunwu took a gun, lightly bypassed the coal pile, and approached the three thieves step by step.
Just five meters away from the three thieves, Zhao Yunwu stopped, hiding behind the coal pile and observing the three people up close.
"Damn, keep your hands and feet neat, hurry up and pretend!" The leader of the thieves urged his accomplices.
The three of them bent on their waists, raised their shovels, and slammed and slammed, shovel after spade, and were doing their best work.
"Hello?" Zhao Yunwu suddenly stepped forward from behind the coal pile and let out a snort.
The three thieves were frightened, looked up, and were immediately stunned.
Zhao Yunwu's big gun was already on the heart of the thief leader, and he roared like a thunderbolt on a sunny day: "Be honest with me!" ”
"Don't shoot, don't shoot!" The thief looked terrified, and kept begging. The other two accomplices stared at Zhao Yunwu, thinking of a way to deal with him.
"Put the shovel down! Stand still! I'll kill you if you move! Zhao Yunwu pulled the bolt of the gun while scareping.
When the thief saw this posture, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, and said to the two accomplices, "Do you hear that?" Listen to this big brother, no one is allowed to move! ”
Zhao Yunwu's eyes were fixed on the waists of the three people. After observation, Zhao Yunwu found that the thief leader had a gun on his body, and the other two did not have a gun on him.
"Take the gun off!" Zhao Yunwu was aggressive.
The thief hesitated, and under the pressure of Zhao Yunwu, he had to take off the pistol. Zhao Yunwu snatched the gun and pinned it to his waist.
The three thieves were subdued by Zhao Yunwu in this way, and the three of them only had a pistol, which was captured by Zhao Yunwu. The thief didn't know Zhao Yunwu, and he didn't know what his temper was, so he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. With a gun on the heart, who isn't afraid? This is the bold, and the timid will have long been scared to pee their pants.
Zhao Yunwu forced the three thieves into the shed with a gun, and let them squat in the corner, curl up, hold their heads in their hands, light the oil lamp themselves, sit on the bench with a big gun, and begin to interrogate slowly:
"Tell me, how many times have you stolen coal?"
"Didn't steal a few times. Big brother, we won't dare to steal anymore in the future, will you let us go? ”
"Spare you?"
Zhao Yunwu took the captured gun in his hand, played with it for a while, and asked, "Did you kill that old man two days ago?" ”
"Big brother, we didn't kill anyone, really. How dare we kill someone? ”
The three thieves denied that they hadn't killed the old weird.
