Chapter 8: For the Bounty
"Okay, okay, it's all like a child, just have fun, don't come to the real thing, the villagers." Xiong Lao Liu shouted.
At this time, the four people around me retreated, they just surrounded, and every time they tried to retreat, so it didn't take much effort, but I was sweating profusely, and when I was most irritable, my back never felt when sweat flowed, and I never experienced what it meant to be sweaty when I grew so big. Several times after I exercised, I looked in the mirror with a sweaty head, and the sweat on my neck disappeared when it reached the scales, and I don't know if it was absorbed or evaporated.
"Xiao Jiang, I'll give you a day to think about it, young people don't be so stubborn, you have to cooperate with us and allow you to move back to your own house, your parents' graves are buried in the back mountain." Xiong Lao Liu said.
"Sixth brother, this ......," said the cousin.
"Shut up, when the time comes, I will give you an extra 100,000 yuan, and you can choose a piece of land and build a new house." Xiong Lao Liu yelled, and Uncle Cousin immediately shut up.
I threw away the stick, clapped my hands and said, "Don't think about it, I won't move back to the village, I'd rather live than go back to my house." Unless ......"
"What the are you ......" Xiong Hu was about to scold when he was stopped by the village chief.
"Unless what?" Xiong Lao Liu seems to see hope.
"Unless you fish out my dad's body."
"Fuck your mother, you waste food alive, a disaster, a disaster, a disaster to your parents, a disaster to the township, you might as well die." Xiong Hu finally finished scolding his words.
"Get out, even if I'm going to get someone, I'm going alone, and I won't give you a penny." I finished and went inside.
"Believe it or not, a fire burned down your house?" Xiong Hu roared.
I opened the door, stared at him and said, "If you dare to set fire to my house, I will kill your whole people." ”
I'm grown up to speak harsh things.
This sentence shocked everyone, Xiong Hu was stunned and wanted to rush over again, but Xiong Lao Liu grabbed his shoulders and dragged him back, this Xiong Lao Liu's hand strength surprised me very much.
"Okay, let's stop talking about it, that's it, give you a day to think about it."
After they left, I looked at the injured arm, it was already dark blue, poured a little bruise and rubbed it, it was a little painful, but it was not in the way, I took a shower, and went to bed.
When I heard the knock on the door, I looked at my phone, it was already one o'clock, and I had to get up to cook anyway, and I didn't ask who it was. When he opened the door, he saw Xiong Fang standing at the door.
"Why are you here?" I asked, she never liked to play with me, or even afraid of me, when I was a child, I liked to play with her, because when I was six years old, she saw that I had no food and stole a cold steamed bun from my house. I often ran after her, until Xiong Lao Liu's wife scared me with a firewood knife, and then I woke up from my dream and never played with her again.
"I want to talk to you." She said that now she is a little more feminine, with big breasts, although she is not beautiful, but she wears myopic glasses and is also educated, and she can be regarded as a more temperamental girl in the village.
"Do you dare to come in?" I asked.
She grabbed the corner of her coat and hesitated, then nodded.
"I'll put my clothes on later." After I finished speaking, I closed the door, now wearing a vest, and when I turned around, she could see the scales, I didn't want to frighten her, after all, she just heard about it, and it was still very scary to see it, sometimes I looked at myself in the mirror, and I felt that my scalp was numb, after all, I was most afraid of snakes.
Dressed, she slowly and leisurely ascended the steps, clearly afraid. I asked her to sit on the couch and I sat on the floor, and she didn't speak, and I lit a cigarette and didn't know what to say.
"You like me?" She asked suddenly.
"I don't know, I wanted to play with you when I was a child, but later I thought it would be better to be alone." I say.
"I haven't gotten along with a man yet, you can have me, and then work with my dad." After she finished speaking, she began to unbutton her shirt in a panic, revealing a deep ravine when she unbuttoned the third one, but her hands also began to tremble, and she could not unbutton the third button.
"Don't solve it......" I said.
"It's okay......" she finally unbuttoned the third button.
"Don't solve it!" I yelled, shaking her away, and she looked at me with teary eyes and rubbed her teary eyes. "If you sleep with me, I won't go into the pool, do you want me to die so much?"
"I don't want you to die, you're a good person, I know, but I'm just an ordinary man, I can't help it, I ......" She had already started crying.
"What did your dad tell you?" I asked.
He said...... He said, if I don't convince you, I won't be allowed to go to college, I've already been admitted to college, and ...... The boy I like is also admitted to university, I don't want to stay in the village, I want to go to university, I want to go to school with him. She cried.
I believe what she said, the Xiong family has many women and few sons for generations, Xiong Lao has six brothers and sisters, his father is just to give birth to such a son as him, Xiong Hu has five brothers and sisters, but also to give birth to such a son, Xiong Lao Liu himself also gave birth to four, but all are daughters, now I heard that his forty-year-old wife has just been pregnant, I don't know whether it is a man or a woman, so the daughter is a negative asset for them, but whenever they marry, they will kill their son-in-law, Xiong Fang's second sister is only 21 years old and has already given birth to two children.
If Xiong Fang goes to college, the investment will be greater, and he may not be able to get the bride price, and the girl who has studied has her own opinions, advocating free love, and now is probably the best time for Xiong Lao Liu to get back the capital.
"How much does it cost to go to school?" I asked.
"The tuition fee is estimated to be thirty or forty thousand, and I can work and study the rest."
I sighed, rubbed my face, removed the closet, opened the secret door on the floor, there were less than 70,000 yuan in it, I took out 50,000 yuan and handed it to her, she looked at me, I didn't know whether to take it.
"This is the money for the corpse, but many people in Angelica Village have this source of income, and your father is too, so you don't have to mind." I say.
"I didn't mean that, but I'm afraid it will take a long time to pay it off, I can borrow 20,000 yuan from you first, and then apply for a student loan, if I can come down, it will be good." She said.
"Student loans also need to be issued by the village, your father is the village head, will he give it to you? Besides, your family's income is not so low, and you have a small car, I'm afraid it's not easy. I said.
"Try it again, it's not enough for me to borrow it from you."
"Take it, don't come back, leave tomorrow, lest your father find out and rob the money."
"That'...... So I'll come back tomorrow to get it? She said.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow."
She wiped her tears and went home. I put the money under the bedside pillow, ate something, sat at the door to enjoy the tree, thinking about how to spend the money, gave her 50,000, there are less than 20,000 left, and I can last a year if I save a little, offended Xiong Lao Liu, I am afraid that I will not be able to mix here in the future, even if the salvage team does not dare to take the work, he will not look for me, maybe I should go to the city to do coolies before the scales have grown, it is said that I can earn two or three hundred a day.
Before dawn the next day, Xiong Fang came over with a bag, she was quite bold, usually no one dared to come to the Bai family ancestral hall at this time, and there was a mass grave on the back mountain, and it was estimated that she had no choice. I took the money out of the bedside and handed it to her, and she was standing in the doorway, her face hurting.
"Your dad beat you?" I asked.
"He said I'm useless, I can't even handle you, it's useless to study, and I won't come back in the future." After saying that, she took 40,000 yuan and handed me 10,000 yuan. "I checked, the tuition fee of 40,000 yuan is enough, I will go to work to earn other expenses, you send me a message with your bank card number, and I will return it to you when I earn money in the future."
Then she took a pen and wrote the phone number in the palm of my hand, then turned and walked away, as if she was worried that her father would come and catch her. didn't walk a few dozen meters, she turned her head and shouted loudly: "Brother Shuisheng, you have to take care, you can't stay here, go to the capital to find me, I will help you find a job." ”
I nodded and said, "You go quickly, it's dark and the road is slippery, pay attention to safety!" ”
She quickly disappeared into the woods, and I went back to the kitchen and washed my hands with soap, which was supposed to be a favor for a steamed bun, and what number to write. Sitting at the door and smoking a cigarette, I found that the sky had slowly revealed the white of the fish's belly, I went to bed and continued to sleep.
"Jiang Shuisheng, you come out for me." Xiong Laoliu's voice sounded outside.
I got up from the bed in a daze, opened the door, and saw Xiong Lao Liu and a group of people holding flat poles, pig killing knives, and kitchen knives blocking my door.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Now you have two choices, one is to cooperate with me, and the other is to compensate my daughter, if you sleep with her, you will drive her away, what are your intentions?" Xiong Lao Liu roared.
"Xiong Lao Liu, who doesn't know that you are a person who exchanges your daughter for money? You actually thought of it, using your daughter's chastity in exchange for money, and when you are old, you want to go crazy for money? As I spoke, I took out a cigarette from my pocket and lit it, frowned and said, "Don't disturb me sleeping, I gave her 40,000 yuan for tuition, and she won't come back to you in the future." ”
"Fuck your mom, my adopted daughter is so old, you sent her away for 40,000? Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you? Xiong Lao Liu finally revealed his true colors.
"You can try it." When I had finished speaking, I went back to the kitchen and got my axe, went to the door, pointed to them, and said, "Whoever goes up first, one will come up and kill the other." ”
"Go up together, tie him up and throw him into a pool of stagnant water, and don't think about coming up if he doesn't catch anyone up." Xiong Lao Liu said urgently.
Why am I so familiar with this, is he the one who threw me into the pool of water back then? It's still a bear and a tiger. But if he does, there's no reason to tell me directly! I'm so young, I have no grievances with him, why did he throw me in, it doesn't make sense!
"Village Chief, someone is here!" Someone shouted in the distance, before the person arrived, the sound arrived first, and he looked very anxious.
