Chapter 64: Living Bandits
Passing through the dense forest and crossing the mountains, this time, because it was daytime, it didn't take much effort, Niu Zhan and Li Deshen came to the cave where the mortuary was found.
When they arrived, dozens of people had gathered outside the cave, to say the least.
There are more than a dozen big men, all of them turning sheepskin shoulders, bare arms, a red silk tied to their waists, and a stick more than one meter long and thick at the mouth of the bowl in their hands. They formed in a circle on the periphery of the hole, smoking cigarettes on their lips and their eyes in the center of the crowd.
At the entrance of the cave, there were five or six people standing, all of whom were middle-aged or older, different from the group of strong men, covered in white filial piety clothes.
Immediately next to the entrance of the cave, there is an offering table, on which are placed some offerings such as melons, fruits, pears, incense, candles, paper horses, etc. Outside the table, there was also an old man who had experienced vicissitudes of life. The old tears are horizontal, although the voice is not loud, but it makes people sound and are all moved.
However, what made Niu Struggle feel awkward was that the kneeling old man was not only wearing filial piety clothes, but also wearing linen cloth. It stands to reason that only children and grandchildren will wear linen and filial piety to their elders. And what is displayed in the cave is just a newly married woman, who is definitely not more than thirty years old, how can an old man in his early sixties be clothed in linen and filial piety for her? Although there are different winds for ten miles and different customs for hundreds of miles, the number of funeral rites is much the same, especially in terms of dress, since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, almost all of them are almost the same.
I was wondering, Xu is the old man has been kneeling for a while, his knees are uncomfortable, and he wants to stand up and stretch, but he is pressed by a middle-aged man with a black face. The old man was in pain and almost threw himself on the ground.
"My sister didn't come out, can you get up? Kneel for me! ”
Hearing this, Niu Struggle suddenly understood, needless to say, that old man, nine times out of ten, was the father-in-law of the deceased, who was arrested by the master's family.
Seeing this scene, the anger in Niu Struggle's heart came up, and from the old man's cry, it could be heard that it was true and sincere, not fake. Moreover, an elder wears linen and filial piety for the younger generation, and also kneels, which is in the countryside, and he doesn't want to raise his head for the rest of his life. The old man's willingness to do this shows that he is sincerely repenting for his murderer's son. And the main family is so arrogant and unreasonable, which is really a bit excessive. Although it is said that it is not the fault of the father to raise or not, after all, it is not the old man who kills people, and the main family is really a little unkind.
"This family, not authentic!" Niu Zhan said angrily to Li Deshen.
"yes!" Li Deshen also understood, and his own students, who were enthusiastic about helping, were scolded by others in the end, and he was also angry when he thought of this.
But after all, he is a person who has seen the world, Li Deshen hurriedly said: "Don't care if their family is authentic or not, we don't want to reciprocate, don't pay attention!" ”
Niu Zhan snorted heavily, did not speak, took three steps and made two steps, pushed away the crowd, walked straight to the offering table, and helped the old man on the ground up.
When everyone looked at it, they didn't know where it was a hairy young man. The people of the main family were crowded, and they were on fire at that time, and they didn't ask a single question, and a few people surrounded the cow, pushing and shoving, and scolded: "Whose kid are you?" ”
Niu Struggle was not polite, he pushed away the arm that was pressed on his shoulder, and said in a cold voice: "Let go of the rules!" ”
Everyone is stupid, they have seen the flute, but they have never seen such a flute. The heart said, doesn't this kid see the situation clearly at all, even the people hired by his family on his side, dozens of people, this kid is alone, and he is even more horizontal than them!
"Lao Li, this is your baby, why haven't I seen it?" One of them, also in his fifties and sixties, stood up and said.
The old man who was helped up by Niu Struggle glanced at the young man, and was also confused, and quickly said apologetically: "Father-in-law, I don't know either!" What do you do, young man? ”
"Don't ask me what I do, the elders wear linen and filial piety to the younger generations, what's going on, there are no rules at all!"
"It's uneven to co-author!" The swarthy man just now said angrily.
"I can't get used to it, what's wrong!" Niu Zhan is also a rural person, and it is the most fierce village, he knows best that not every villager is worthy of "simple and kind", and some rural people are simply more bandits than bandits. The person in front of him happens to be it, so with this kind of person, you can't be reasonable, you have to use your fists. Whoever has a hard fist is justified, so speaking is like holding a stone, unceremoniously.
"Hey, how old are you!" The black-faced man was angry, and the people around him were also gearing up, even the father of the deceased did not speak, and silently stepped aside, with hatred in his eyes.
"Don't do it, if you have something to say" Li Deshen saw that the situation was not good, and secretly blamed Niu for being too reckless, and hurriedly stood up and made peace.
"Who are you?" When the black-faced man saw another one coming out, he said angrily.
"I'm a policeman and Liu Fugui's teacher, I'm here to help you" After speaking, he took out his police ID card and showed it to the other party.
I didn't think about it, but the black-faced man didn't pay attention to it at all: "What's wrong with the police, are the police unreasonable, have we violated the king's law?" ”
"Of course not!" Li Deshen said.
"Okay, we don't need your help, let's go quickly! Lao Liu took the money, but he didn't do anything, who knows if you are also here to cheat money! The black-faced man said unceremoniously.
Li Deshen's face couldn't hold back, and he didn't know what to say.
Niu Zhan sneered, he knew too well what the temperament of this group of people was, at this time, when the king of heaven and Lao Tzu came, no one would necessarily buy it. However, he naturally has a way to deal with it.
"I can stand wherever I like, do you care, this land belongs to your family?" Niu Struggle deliberately choked the fire, Li Deshen couldn't pull it, and said in his heart, this kid is simply a live bandit!
"Good boy, you're going to make trouble, aren't you? Don't think that you are a public person, and you are afraid of you! ”
"He's, I'm not, if you don't accept it, I'll do it, I just can't get used to your family bullying people like this, what's wrong?"
In a word, the other party is really angry.
The black-faced man didn't talk nonsense, he waved his fist and came up to the door of Niu Struggle, Niu Struggle laughed, didn't dodge or dodge, took a step forward, took a wrong half step, grabbed the other party's shoulder, and then bowed down, and clasped the root of the other party's thighs.
With this shot, the men who were holding the sticks were dumbfounded, where had they seen this. They are biao, but they are not stupid, it turns out that this kid is so horizontal and has capital!
Niu Struggle didn't throw it, just held it up like that and said: "Your family died in Xiaokou, let an elder wear linen and filial piety, your family is angry, but do you know?" The elder kneels down to the younger generation, it is for the sky to thunder, and even if the girl of your family goes to the underworld, she will be punished for it, understand? And the girl in your family, unlike others, is not easy to rest in, you are still making such trouble, do you want her to stay in the world and be a lonely ghost? Of course, it doesn't matter if you're not afraid, but I warn you that the ghost doesn't recognize any relatives, and whoever can't let her enter the underworld will find trouble with whom. Oh, by the way, I've heard that the one lying in it often dreams for you. Be careful, in the future, maybe it won't be so simple! ”
There were sensible people in the crowd who whispered, "There is such a saying!" ”
Especially the father of the deceased, his face turned white. He didn't understand what the young man in front of him was coming from, but one thing was right, his daughter was no longer a dream, and at night, the pots and pans at home began to move inexplicably, otherwise he wouldn't have spent a lot of money to invite someone from other places!
"I'll just say don't do it like this, don't do it like this, you don't listen, young man, the old man can see it, you have good intentions, okay, put the people down first, we have something to say" The father of the deceased said to Niu Struggle.
Niu struggled to put people down, the black-faced man felt ashamed, and just landed and wanted to find some field to come back, at this moment, only to hear an angry roar from the cave: "Don't make noise, something is going to happen!" ”
Before the words fell, I saw a thin old man dressed in black hurriedly running out of the cave, just out of the hole, the old man grabbed something from his arms and threw it behind him.
At that moment, Niu Zhan saw it clearly, and there was actually a puff of black smoke behind the old man, but fortunately, after touching the thing raised out of the old man's hand, he quickly retreated.
