Liang Maocai has only been on the run for ten years, and there is no news, Liang Qiaoshi couldn't believe that her husband was still alive, and sighed and said, "Maybe it's your father's ghost who brought food to our mother." ”

Liang Pan tore off a chicken leg and handed it to his mother: "Eat, mother, make up for your body." ”

The roast pheasant is still hot, the fragrance is fragrant, Liang Qiaoshi's tears are down, the last time he ate meat was five or eight years of Chinese New Year's Eve, the production team was kind, and gave these better landlords Yu Xin half a pound of pork, and the taste is still remembered.

"Eat, mother, you eat." Liang Qiaoshi ate the chicken leg with tears in his eyes.

The smell of roasted pheasant wafted outside the house, and the two Young Pioneers who were in charge of monitoring the Liang family shrugged their noses, and their vigilance immediately increased.

Two days ago, there was a vicious poisoning case in the village, the members of the commune ate a big pot of stewed wild vegetables, the poison turned over more than a dozen people, and the county hospital made every effort to rescue them before they came back to life, the commune suspected that it was the landlord elements who poisoned them, so they sent additional manpower to monitor the landlord's rich peasant house 24 hours a day, today is the second night, and finally found the clue, how can we not be excited.

The two Young Pioneers immediately ran to the production captain's house and slammed the door.

Liang Yuejin, the captain of the production team, is working at home to do the girls, he is the commune secretary Li Huazi in front of the red man, the original name is not called this, in order to cooperate with the Great Leap Forward movement, the name was also changed to Yuejin, many people starved to death in the village, but the production captain's belly is not hungry, the sorghum noodles are enough, and you can get some lard residue every three or five to relieve your hunger.

In the middle of the night, most of the villagers had fallen asleep, and the knock on the door came far away in the quiet night, which would have caused a dog to bark before, but now people can't feed it, and the watchdogs have long been slaughtered and eaten.

Liang Yuejin was startled when he heard the knock on the door, the girl lying under him was not his daughter-in-law, but the wife of the village tractor driver.

"Who!" Liang Maocai shouted and picked up the flashlight.

"Uncle Liang, open the door quickly, there is an important enemy report." It was the voice of the little red scarf doll in the village, Liang Yuejin put his mind at ease, went out with great majesty, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”

"Liang Pan eats roast chicken at home! It must have been stolen. A young pioneer captain rushed to say.

"Dig the corners of socialism." Another Young Pioneer was not to be outdone.

"Roast chicken?" Liang Yuejin wondered, where did the roast chicken come from these years, the county magistrate couldn't eat the roast chicken, let alone the controlled landlord.

"It's true, we all smell it, smell it."

"Oh, look at it." Liang Yuejin picked up a stick behind the door, and at the same time glanced into the house, the girl had already taken the sorghum noodles and tiptoed away from the back.

The production captain called four key militiamen, and quietly came to the vicinity of Liang Pan's house with red tassel guns, and heard the sound of eating and smacking his lips from a distance, as well as the smell of roast chicken.

"Up!" Liang Yuejin gave an order, and the militia captain raised his foot and kicked the door, but he was so hungry that his legs were swollen and weak, and he kicked the door open after kicking it three times.

Liang Yuejin was furious and shouted, "Arrest it!" ”

Liang Pan wanted to resist, but his body had already collapsed after being starved for a long time, and the militia's red tassel gun was up to his throat, so he had to be captured.

"Steal chickens and eat them! Also poisoned, a landlord's wife, a landlord's lamb, okay, you. Liang Yuejin said coldly, and walked back and forth in the grass hut with four walls behind his back, trying to find other stolen goods, and he really let him find it, there was a small half bag of sorghum rice under the pillow.

"That's the evidence! The people in the village can't eat, and the landlord's mother-in-law still eats sorghum rice and roast chicken, but they don't recruit from the truth! ”

Liang Qiaoshi trembled and said, "I didn't steal it, someone put it at my door." ”

Liang Yuejin sneered: "Why didn't anyone send me roast chicken?" I see that you don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin, take it to the team headquarters, reflect on it, and then don't recruit the public security officer who will send it to the public tomorrow. ”

Liang Qiao's mother and son were tied up by Wuhua and escorted to the team site overnight, the cool breeze outside, the moonlight was dim, Liang Yuejin wore a gown, carried a stick and walked in front with a flashlight, two militiamen followed him, in the middle was Liang Qiao's mother and son, and two militiamen held red tassel guns in the final formation, and the group walked on the ridge with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Suddenly, Liang Yuejin heard a strange sound behind him, which seemed to be a whimper from someone pinching his throat, and when he looked back, the four militiamen were missing.

"What's going on!" Liang Yuejin flashed flashlights, but found the two militiamen lying in a field not far away.

"Be on guard!" Liang Yuejin was frightened, and the remaining two militiamen also picked up their red tassel guns and looked around.

Liang Qiao's mother and son are inexplicable.

Liang Yuejin's flashlight finally locked onto a person, to be precise, a human-like animal, with hair and beard tied together, and animal skins on his body, squatting on the ground like an ape, his eyes radiating the light of a beast.

"Mom!" Liang Yuejin was so frightened that he threw the flashlight and wanted to run, but his legs were weak and he couldn't run, so he could only watch the beast walk towards him.

The legs of the two militiamen were also shaking, and the red tassel guns in their hands were shaking.

Suddenly, Liang Yuejin thought of someone, and he exclaimed: "Liang Maocai, it's you!" I'm your nephew, don't kill me. ”

He guessed correctly, this monster who is not a human or a ghost turned out to be Liang Maocai, who had been missing for a long time, but this relative was really not the right time, so Liang Maocai walked over, his hand raised and fell, and his nephew's head fell to the ground.

The two militiamen were so frightened that they couldn't move their nests.

Liang Pan shouted: "Dad, stop killing people!" ”

Liang Maocai ignored it, walked up and clicked twice, and the two basic militiamen also went to the western sky.

He used a short knife of strange shape, the knife was as long as a forearm, the blade was pitch black, the blade was tilted forward like a dog's leg, it was extremely sharp and murderous without blood, and the head was like cutting a melon.

People die every day in the village, Liang Qiaoshi has no fear of corpses, she can't believe her eyes, her husband who has been missing for ten years has reappeared in the world, although the appearance of this monster is not similar to her husband, but in her mind, the role of being able to kill people so neatly, the whole Jiangbei is none other than her husband.

Liang Pan stared at the monster and hesitated, "Are you my father?" ”

After the monster finished killing people, he was wiping the blood on the knife on the clothes of the dead man, and when he heard Liang Pan's question, he raised his head sharply, and his sharp eyes frightened Liang Pan, who had been on the battlefield, a spirit.

"Pan'er." The monster said.

Liang Pan burst into tears, a familiar voice, the day his father came back from Japan, he also called himself like this.

Liang Qiao's tears rippled even more, the man came back, and it turned out that in this way, people are not ghosts or ghosts, like savages.

Liang Maocai pointed to the west, and two words burst out of his mouth: "Into the mountain!" ”

Killed five people, this time I can't keep it if I want to, and there is nothing valuable at home, so I set off immediately without further ado, Liang Qiao's little feet couldn't walk fast, Liang Pan carried him on his back and followed his father to the west overnight.

At noon the next day, the bodies of Liang Yuejin, the head of the production team, and the four militiamen were discovered, and it was another shocking case, the commune reported to the county, the county reported to the area, and the region reported to the province.

The murderers have been identified, it is the village landlords Liang Qiaoshi and Liang Pan, Liang Pan is a veteran, according to the investigation when he was in the army, he has always violated discipline by stealing chickens and dogs, and has been punished.

The county sent a criminal police team to investigate at the scene, and a scrawny police dog jumped out of the jeep, sniffed, and barked wildly towards the west.

"The culprit fled west." The captain of the criminal police said that he frowned, carefully examined the footprints on the ground, and found that in addition to the deceased and the two suspects, there were strange footprints, and judging by the length and depth of the steps, it should be a man in the prime of his thirties and forties.

"I'm afraid there's another real murderer." The forensic doctor in a white coat said, he had just examined the corpse, and all five of them were killed with one knife, extremely ruthless, and the knife technique was accurate, and it was split along the gap in the cervical vertebrae, and the knife edge was flat.

The captain of the criminal police held his chin and thought for a while, and concluded that this was by no means a simple revenge by a class enemy, and that it was impossible for foreign enemies to participate.

The captain said, "Let's pursue westward first, and pay attention to mobilizing the masses." ”

The criminal police team moved westward, the police dog explored the road in front, chased out twenty miles, and suddenly the police dog jumped into a ditch, frantically tore and bitten, pulled the dog up to see, there were some meat and bones on the ground.

It is said that police dogs are strictly trained and will not be tempted by food, but this year, the number of police dogs has also been reduced, and the dogs of the criminal police team are hungry to the bones.

The captain said: "It's not good, we have fallen into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, the west is the vast Daqing Mountain, there is no escape, to the east is the dock station, but it is easy to abscond, the enemy must be a suspicious soldier, detoured a bend to the east." ”

Everyone thought so, and the soldiers divided into two routes, all the way into the mountains to search and arrest, and all the way to the city station and wharf to intercept.

The militia of the whole county were mobilized, each of them was given half a pound of millet, and they were on duty on the road, and all of them were stopped without the road regulations issued by the commune.

From the bitter water well to Daqing Mountain, Liang Maocai's family hid during the day, traveled at night, and secretly avoided the main road.

Liang Qiao's is small feet, he can't walk fast, and he ate half a greasy roast chicken, and his stomach, which was used to eating clear soup and little water, suddenly ate so much meat and fish, and his stomach couldn't hold it, he vomited and diarrhea, and couldn't walk.

Liang Pan also had a stomach upset, but the young man was strong and could withstand it.

The family hid in the grass, and Liang Qiaoshi said: "Boss, you take your son away, I can't do it." ”

After ten years of savage-like life in the mountains, Liang Maocai's language ability has greatly deteriorated, and he firmly grasped this woman who gave birth to children for himself, never gave up, and suffered for half a life, and used his strength to convey a message, I will definitely take you away.

There was a commotion in the distance, and it was the militia nearby who came to pull the net to search, and they carried three or eight guns, ten paces apart, and searched in a carpet manner.

Liang Maocai clenched the steel knife, Liang Pan also clenched his fists, his heart was pounding, he had a hunch that he would not be able to escape this time.

The ghosts made the gods so bad, the militia didn't even see them, probably because the visibility was too low in the evening, or maybe the militiamen's nutrition couldn't keep up, and most of them were blind at night, anyway, this time they avoided again.

Liang Maocai turned around, only to find that Liang Qiaoshi had closed her eyes, and she had died on the way to escape because of hunger, disease, and fright.
