Chapter 25: Sunflowers to the Sun

The monitor on the corner of the street once filmed a disgusting scene in the park, a ragged wandering teenager sleeping on a park bench, at dawn, a car drove past him, after a while, the car reversed back, the driver got out of the car, looked down at the homeless boy, quietly pulled off his pants, and then lay on top of him. The homeless boy woke up and struggled hard, but the driver failed and left in a huff, and when he left, he wanted to carry the homeless boy into the car.

In addition to the sexual harassment they face, there are two dangers: dogs and the mysterious person who captures them.

The "black brick kiln" case in Hongdong County caused a sensation across the country, and 31 migrant workers were abducted to a brick factory and forced to work without pay, including 9 people with intellectual disabilities, and some child laborers.

Han Honglian, director of the Women's Federation of Moshi Village, Lei County, illegally detained several homeless people, kept them in captivity in the mountains, restricted their freedom, and bought and sold them as slaves.

Many years ago, a crazy woman appeared on the streets of Daze Township, she was a little more beautiful, her skin was fair, her hair and clothes were clean, and she should be a psychopath who had run away from home. The madwoman used to wander around the market, pick up rotten vegetable leaves to eat, and sleep at night on a concrete platform where fish was sold or under a bridge hole. Her spirits were good and bad, and there were a few words she wrote in lime on the bridge pillars, telling passers-by not to defecate here, because this was her home.

It was discovered that the madwoman's belly was getting bigger, and it was not known which immoral ghost did it.

Later, the madwoman disappeared, and a bachelor forcibly dragged her home in the middle of the night.

The bachelor's name is Qingshan, he lives in a stone house at the west end of Dongshigu Village, his house is always very cold, exudes a smell, outside the house is a pigsty, two acres of land outside the pigsty are planted with sunflowers, golden flowers bloom in summer, the fragrance from between the two sunflowers, from the gap between the petals to the whole village. The bachelor Qingshan was embarrassed to say that it was his wife who was picked up on the street, so he told the villagers that he was a daughter-in-law who was bought. In his heart, in the eyes of the villagers, it is much more decent to buy than to pick up glorious.

There are several people in the village who have bought daughters-in-law, and some of those daughters-in-law have run away, and some have become aunts picking cotton in the fields, or aunts basking in the sun under the base of the wall and enjoying the soles of their shoes.

The crazy woman gave birth to a child for a bachelor, and the child grew up slowly.

When a madwoman is sober, she is just like a normal person, and when she is sick, she doesn't know anyone, and she can't even take care of herself. She could write, read newspapers, knit sweaters, but she could never remember where her home was.

Qingshan said: My grandfather and I will work to make money, treat you, and cure your mental illness.

The madwoman said: "Healed, I will know where I came from, you are not afraid that I will run away?"

Qingshan said: Don't be afraid, there is a baby, we still have sunflowers, you like to eat melon seeds.

The child shouted to his mother and said: Mother, don't run, don't run if you are cured, no matter how crazy you are, you are also my mother.

The madwoman said, "Alas, I can't bear it, I'm confused, and I don't know where I've gone."

Qingshan kowtowed and made a wish when burning incense during the New Year, and the father and son decided to go to work and make money to cure the madwoman.

He kowtowed and said to the Buddha in his heart that he had done a wrong thing in his life, and he had also done a good deed.

He raped a mentally handicapped woman on a cement platform in the village bazaar, more than once, which was wrong.

The good thing he did was - to bring the woman home.

Even people living in the mud yearn for a better tomorrow, just as a sunflower in the dark can always discern the direction of the sun.

The madwoman knitted a pair of trousers for each of the father and son, and she broke them

It continued to weave for three years. On the eve of his part-time job, Aoyama entrusted his crazy daughter-in-law to the second aunt of his family to help take care of him.

Aoyama said, "Give her something to eat."

Qingshan's son said: Don't let my mother run around.

The father and son went to work and never returned......

Is it a way to greet mad women who are hungry and wander around the village like ghosts, day and night? She didn't know when her husband and son would come back, she didn't know which way to come back, the delirious woman occasionally had a moment of soberness, she looked at the entrance of the village in a daze, and marked the front and back of the village with lime, she was afraid that if she walked out of the village, she would be lost in the sea of people, and she would never come back.

On the wall of the stone room, there was a word she wrote: Home.

According to the criminal suspect Guo Wu's confession, the Guo brothers met Qingshan father and son who went out to work at the train station. They are all villagers of Dongshigu Village, and they had this conversation at the train station:

Guo Da said to Qingshan father and son: Qingshan, where are the two of you going to work?

Aoyama said: I don't have any skills, so I went to the construction team to move bricks and work as a rebar worker.

Guo Da and Guo Er exchanged glances and asked tentatively: Otherwise, the two of you will go to work in the mine with me, and you will earn more money than you will go to devour and do small labor.

Guo Er hurriedly said: Brother, no, let the third and fourth children go, and the mine manager doesn't want outsiders.

Qingshan's son raised his hands and asked: How much money can I earn, is it enough to treat my mother's illness?

Guo Da said: More work and more rewards, better than you as a small worker.

Qingshan hesitated for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: Otherwise, I will take you as a companion and go to work in the mine?

Guo Da: Then you replace the third child, you have to call me brother in the mine, and you have to change your surname to Guo, and you don't want outsiders in the mine, for fear of accidents.

Aoyama nodded and said, "Medium."

Guo Da said to Qingshan's son: Baby, you have to call me uncle, call him uncle.

Aoyama Son: Okay.

Guo Da said: Come on, come on, call uncle.

Aoyama Son: Uncle.

Guo Da pointed at Guo Er and said: Call him uncle.

Qingshan's son shouted to Guo Er: "His uncle."

Guo Dazhao slapped Qingshan's son on the head and scolded: You fool.

Guo Da once again emphasized the seriousness of the matter, because it is very dangerous to work underground, accidents in small coal kilns are frequent, and no new hands are allowed in the mine, and no outsiders are needed. Guo Da and Guo Er helped Qingshan and his son apply for fake ID cards, and repeatedly told them not to reveal their true identities, otherwise the coal kiln owner would fire them and not even get paid.

The Guo brothers deceived the trust of Qingshan father and son, and went to work in a small coal kiln together, and the contract signed by the kiln owner and the miners was written in black and white: If there is an accident, a finger will be compensated 50 yuan, and a life will be 30,000 yuan.

After the Guo brothers killed Qingshan and his son in the mine, they faked a mining accident and pretended to be relatives to demand compensation from the kiln owner. This crime of killing people and defrauding them of compensation has been committed many times before. Because there are fewer and fewer mentally handicapped homeless people on the streets, they can't find suitable victims, so they extend their clutches to the villagers in their villages.

When he killed Qingshan's son, this young man who had just become an adult and was dumbfounded knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, he cried and said: Uncle, uncle, don't kill me, don't kill me, I still have to earn money for my mother's medical treatment.

Guo Er said: Okay, you turn around and don't open your eyes.

Qingshan's son turned around and said: Kill me, then my mother will have no one to care.

The crowbar in General Guo's hand smashed on the head of Qingshan's son, and he said: You are worth 30,000 yuan.

The Guo brothers piled coal on the dead Qingshan father and son, and faked the scene of the collapse of the mine cave.

Blacker than coal is the human heart!

These coals are like piles of graves, covered with weeping willows from ancient times and cumin seedlings from hundreds of millions of years ago.

The safety measures of small coal kilns are not perfect, and once there is an accident, the kiln owner only wants to make the big thing small and the small thing small. If the Coal Bureau or the Labor Bureau knows that someone has died in the mine, in addition to fines, they will also face the situation of stopping production for rectification. The kiln owner wanted to lose money as soon as possible, and the Guo brothers wanted to ask for more pensions, while pretending to be sad, while bargaining, after some negotiations, the kiln owner took out the money, and the two sides finally signed an agreement that the accidental death had nothing to do with the kiln owner.

In more than a year, the Guo brothers killed a total of eight people, except for Qingshan father and son, the rest were all mentally handicapped people found on the street. In their eyes, those homeless people, those mentally retarded, are all money, 30,000 yuan per life. For the disposal of the body, they chose the easiest way: burying.

Guo Er said: Cremation requires a death certificate.

Guo San said: This is not a problem, there are so many fake certificates on the street, ID cards and household registration books can be handled, and death certificates can also be handled.

Guo Da said: The problem is, cremation costs money, why do we spend that money?

Guo Si said: That's it, the eldest brother is right, I think, just find a place to bury it.

Guo Wu said: Bury it, bury it to save money.

The Guo brothers buried all eight bodies in a field outside the village, but the police never found out who exhumed one of the bodies and dragged them to a hole in the riverbank. The special case team thought of the crazy wife of the deceased Qingshan, and for a madman, this strange behavior has a reasonable explanation.

But how did this madwoman find out where the body was buried?

She writes in lime on the wall, she puts branches on the side of the road, and she makes some marks in front of and behind the village.

Fearing that she would be lost and never find her home again, this mad woman wandered around the village even at night, waiting for her husband and son to return.

Day or night, she will keep waiting, although the person who will wait will never return. In the chaotic heart of this crazy woman, do you have a moment of warm memories of life? When she was awake, she sat in the dim light, knitting trousers for her husband and son, and what was she thinking? Later, when claiming the relics of the deceased, why did she cry and suddenly shed tears?

When you leave a person, you realize how much you miss him.

When the special case team was leaving, it was raining again in Daze Township......

The mad woman stood dumbfounded in the rain, looking at the stone house of her home, and on the wall was a word she had written: Home.

The field outside the door was planted with sunflowers, which had been cut off their heads, leaving only sunflower stalks drenched in the rain. The fruit of the sunflower is the seed. Everyone has their own way, knowing the cold of the night and the bitterness of the rain, as long as you go on, you will always meet your own flower, the blooming sunflower that has been waiting for you.

The sunflower in my heart will never wither.

The special case team deliberately went to Qingshan's second aunt's house, and when Qingshan's father and son went out to work, they entrusted the crazy woman to the second aunt of their own family to take care of, but the second aunt didn't even give her a bite of food. The madwoman has no one to care about, no one cares, she is so hungry that she is skinny, and if she goes on like this, it won't be long before she dies.

Qingshan's second aunt defended herself, and the reason was that Qingshan didn't give money.

Professor Liang took out a sum of money and gave it to Qingshan's second aunt, and this lovely old man said in a serious tone full of threats: The money was placed in your house by the Public Security Bureau, don't spend it indiscriminately, whatever your family eats, just give the crazy woman a bite to eat, if she starves to death, you will be arrested and imprisoned!
