Chapter 110: Murder
At this time, it was the time for people to have dinner in Lijia Village, and there was a commotion from Widow Li's house. There seems to be the crying voice of Li Luoming, the son of the Li family.
Sang Wentao ran in and told her that Widow Li's family was going to die.
Without asking carefully, Yaru got up and rushed to Widow Li's house next door. I saw that the door of the courtyard of Widow Li's house was wide open, and there were many people standing at the door watching the excitement.
Yaru, Taohong and the others squeezed in, and when they saw it, they couldn't help but be surprised. I saw that the neighbor Widow Li was being grabbed by a woman with a bucket waist at this time and was slapping her hair.
This woman with a bucket waist is the wife of Li Danian's family in the east of the village. And Widow Li is a beautiful woman in her early thirties, with a slender and weak waist, and she is no match for a bucket waist woman at all. At the moment, she was bleeding from her nostrils and the corners of her mouth. A few strands of hair were messily biting in her mouth.
The people from the same village next to him only watched the excitement, but none of them pulled forward.
Li Luoming, the son of Widow Li, was being caught by several big men, and Li Luoming shouted hoarsely: "You robbers, you let my mother go, let my mother go, let my mother go, mother... Mother... The boy cried out bitterly.
This Li Danian's daughter-in-law is a well-known shrew in the village, she never suffers losses, and she is also a good hand at farming.
People in the village say that Li Danian is very afraid of his wife. But it was this Li Danian, who was known as afraid of his wife, and Yaru saw him come to Widow Li several times. But every time he comes. Either to bring some firewood, or to help carry some water. and did not enter Widow Lee's house. As far as Yaru is concerned, there should be innocence between Li Danian and Widow Li.
Widow Lee's son, who studied in the town, was away from home during the day, came home after school at night, and went to school early the next morning. So there is a lot of work that Widow Li does by herself.
I only heard Li Danian's wife scolding while beating: "Little wave hoof, fox spirit, tell you to seduce my man, and I will slap your face to seduce a man." ”
Seeing that Widow Li was beaten to the point that she was no longer in shape, her eyes were closed, and she didn't know if she was unconscious. Li Luoming's voice was hoarse. But Li Danian's daughter-in-law still didn't let go.
If it goes on like this, it will really cost people's lives. Yaru was so anxious that she shouted: Sister-in-law Li, let go quickly, are you going to kill her?"
Li Danian's daughter-in-law was already red-eyed, and she said casually: "I'm going to beat her to death, and see if she dares to seduce my man again." As he spoke, he threw Widow Li to the ground and kicked her in the chest. Widow Li's mouth squirted out a big mouthful. Then she lay on the ground and never moved again.
Li Luoming shouted even more poignantly: "Mother, you let my mother go quickly." I'm going to kill you. But how could he, a thin fourteen-year-old boy, be the match of two strong men.
Yaru swept off Widow Li's foot and kicked it down again, and scolded sharply: "Stop, do you really want to kill her?"
Li Danian's daughter-in-law was swept away and almost fell, she was a little annoyed and said angrily: "You are a person from other places, what do you care?" ”
Over there, Sang Wentao also saved Li Luoming from the hands of two strong men. Li Luochuan threw himself on his mother like crazy, picked her up and shouted: "Mother, mother, wake up, mother, look at Luo Ming, mother, tomorrow my son will take you away, and we will leave this place." Mother, you must not leave your son behind. ”
Yan Hong came up to him and said, "Luo Ming, go and ask the village chief to help you get a doctor." Here we are. ”
Sang Wentao said: "Sister Yanhong, I'll go, my legs are fast." Let him watch his mother inside. As he spoke, he pulled out his feet and ran.
Yaru squatted down and put her hand under Widow Li's nose, she sighed, this Widow Li is going to die. She raised her face, looked at Li Danian's wife sternly, and didn't say anything.
Li Danian's wife was a little scared after calming down, and she asked tentatively, "Is she still angry?"
Yaru ignored her, and she said to the people around her, "Let's disperse first." ”
For the woman Widow Li, there are probably not many sympathies for the women in this village. It's not that Widow Li is bad, it's just because Widow Li is the most beautiful in the village when she is young. After she was widowed, there were many men in the village who wanted to take advantage of it. These women in the village knew it in their hearts, and they wished that there was no such person as Widow Li in the village. As for men, when they saw such an occasion, they didn't dare to openly sympathize with this Widow Li in front of their own wives, for fear that their daughter-in-law or others would say that he had a leg with Widow Li.
In this village, Li Danian's daughter-in-law was originally a hot person, and no one dared to confront her. Therefore, these villagers are better than less than one thing, and naturally no one will meddle in their affairs.
There is really an old doctor in the village, and he is a good old doctor. The old doctor came soon, he touched Widow Li's pulse, shook his head and sighed.
Li Luoming looked at the old doctor expectantly with tears in his eyes, and he said eagerly: "Doctor, how is my mother?"
Li Danian's daughter-in-law sensed that something was wrong when the doctor shook her head and sighed. She took her people and slipped away quietly while others weren't looking.
The old doctor said to Li Luoming: "Your mother's head and heart have been hit hard. I gave her acupuncture to wake her up. But I don't think it will last more than two days, kid, get ready for the future," he said, shaking his head.
Li Luoming looked at the old doctor blankly, as if he was frightened by the news.
Yaru's heart is also very uncomfortable, she has been here for a few months, and she has gotten along well with Widow Li. Widow Li is not very talkative, but she knows it in her heart, and she does embroidery work at home to make a living. Although she is a widow, she is a very responsible person.
At the same time, Yaru's heart was also very angry, this Li Danian's wife was so ruthless, and her behavior was outrageous. In this ancient society where the legal system was not perfect, human life was like a mustard.
Suddenly, Li Luoming looked like crazy and found an axe to chop wood in the yard and ran out, Yaru hurriedly shouted: "Wen Tao, go and stop him." ”
Sang Wentao rushed out like an arrow. Li Luo is a weak teenager, he is Sang Wentao's opponent, Sang Wentao pulled back the struggling teenager after a while.
Yaru asked Taohong and Yanhong to carry Widow Li into the house first, and then asked the old doctor to treat Widow Li. Although I already know that Widow Li is no longer good, it will be a while to live a little longer. So it has to be cured.
Yaru called Li Luoming to her, she looked at the young man with pity and said, "Luoming, do you think you can avenge your mother by going like this? Or if you go and kill Li Danian's wife, your mother will be fine? No, your mother's only hope is that you can be famous and fulfill your father's last wish." If you ruin your future or your life so recklessly, do you think you are worthy of your mother?"
Li Luoming squatted down and cried, he cried while saying, "But my mother is no longer good, I want to avenge her." I must avenge her. ”
Yaru said: "Even if you want to take revenge, it's not such a retribution, you better take care of your mother first." I'll talk about revenge later. Yaru didn't know how to suppress the boy's anger, so she had to use Widow Li to stop him temporarily.
Li Luoming wiped his tears and said, "Madam, thank you, I will listen to you and take care of my mother first." So saying, he went into the house.
Sang Wentao said uneasily: "Madam, what will Luo Ming do in the future?"
Aru's eyes looked in the direction of the room and did not speak.
Widow Li went at night, and before leaving, she asked Sang Wentao, who accompanied Li Luoming, to invite Yaru to come.
Yaru handed over her daughter to Yanhong, and she hurried over with Peach.
Widow Li's face was swollen beyond recognition, and her eyes could barely be opened. When she saw Aru coming, she struggled to pull a smile on, but failed. Then she laboriously reached out her hand to Aru again.
Yaru hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Sister Li, don't worry, speak slowly." ”
Widow Li burst into tears and opened her mouth with difficulty, but as soon as she spoke, she pulled the wound on her face, and her already unrecognizable face became even more hideous and terrifying.
But Yaru felt that this face was full of maternal radiance, because every word she said not very clearly was that of his son: "Madame, I know that you are a good man. I ask you to let Luo Ming follow you, be your subordinate, and take him out of this place, can you please promise me?"
Yaru's heart ached for this unfortunate woman, she nodded and choked up, "Sister Li." I promise you, don't be in a hurry and recover slowly. ”
Widow Lee said bitterly, "No, I don't have time, I," her eyes looked out.
Li Luoming hurriedly came over: "Mother, you will be fine, don't leave Luo Ming behind." Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke.
"Ming'er, kneel down for Madame, and in the future, Madame will be your master, you, you must listen to Madame's words, kneel down quickly." Widow Li said weakly.
Li Luoming cried and shouted: "Mother." ”
Yaru also said beside her, "Sister Li, don't be like this. I'll take Luo Ming. ”
Widow Li was still panting and said, "Ming'er, kneel down quickly." ”
Li Luoming knelt down in front of Yaru and cried: "Madam, I listen to my mother's words. I'll listen to you later. ”
Yaru hurriedly said to him, "Luo Ming, get up quickly, get up quickly." ”
Widow Li continued to say intermittently: "Ming'er, you swear, after I leave, you, don't go and avenge me. You swear. If you want to take revenge, you are not my son. ”
Li Luoming cried bitterly: "Mother, why is this?"
Widow Li insisted: "Ming'er, you, you, you swear, swear quickly." Her voice slowly lowered.
Yaru hurriedly shouted: "Luo Ming, promise your mother quickly." ”
Li Luoming shouted: "Mother, I'm not going to take revenge, I'm not going, I'm not going." Mother, don't go, don't leave your son, mother, mother. But Widow Li could no longer hear her son's voice, and her hand hung limply.
Yaru and the others in the room shed tears for this unfortunate woman.
The next day, the Li family hung up the white flags. The village chief came, and when he learned about it, he just sighed. Li Danian's uncle is the chief bookkeeper of the county, otherwise his wife would not be so arrogant. Li Luoming couldn't win even if he went to sue, and he had no money in his hand.
Li Danian came in the morning, but let Li Luoming get out.
Yaru looked at Li Danian, who had been wandering outside, his face full of apology and pain.
At that time, Aru could see it. Li Danian and Widow Li were supposed to be a couple of lovers when they were young, but I don't know why the two didn't get together. Widow Li married a foreigner, and Li Danian also married his current wife.
Li Da had been working outside for others for a few years ago, and was often away from home, and only came back this year. It didn't take long for him to die, which Li Danian didn't expect.
