Chapter Ninety-Two: The Merciful Butcher
"I don't watch, I don't watch, brother, I don't want to watch..."
A little boy of about five or six years old was hiding behind the black-haired young man with teary eyes, and glanced at the big white pig tied up on the wooden platform not far away, and the middle-aged strong man standing on the edge of the wooden platform holding an iron knife, his small mouth was deflated, and his little head shook like a rattle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The little boy is sad and scared now, although this big white pig is not cute, but it is also very pitiful to kill it with a knife, and the father not only wants to kill it, but also has to watch it, it is too bad.
"Dad, Xiaobai is still young now, why don't you wait until you grow up?"
The black-haired boy touched the little boy's head, his eyes gentle and doting.
The strong man glared at the little boy, and said with a straight face: "Can't wait any longer, our Shi family has been killing pigs for generations, I watched your grandfather slaughter three overlord pigs when I was three years old, and you also started to learn to kill pigs when you were four years old, this little rabbit cub is five years old this year, and I haven't even seen a pig killed!"
The black-haired young man's face froze, and he said softly: "Xiaobai is relatively small, and... I'll inherit the Shi family's family business, Xiaobai, let him choose his own life, okay?"
The strong man was silent for a moment when he heard this, and sighed: "Let a high-achieving student of Tsinghua be a butcher who kills pigs, my heart is not so ruthless, you ......"
"I'm fine. ”
The black-haired young man smiled slightly, as gentle as a spring breeze in March, "What's wrong with the butcher? The butcher's child can still become the top student in the college entrance examination! And although we kill pigs, we have never hurt anyone, even if we are butchers, they are also kind butchers." The most important thing is that Xiaobai doesn't like to kill pigs, and we should let him do what he likes. ”
The strong man opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, his eyes were soft and gloomy, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
"I love killing pigs!"
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded, and the little boy walked out from behind the young man, wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand, and said in a milky voice: "I don't want my brother to be a butcher... I love killing pigs, and I... I'll be a butcher!"
The black-haired young man and the strong man froze, and the expression on the little boy's pink face was so serious that it was hard to believe that he was only a five-year-old child.
The little boy suddenly had a bitter face, and said with a pout: "But the big white pig will be very painful, can you not kill it?"
The strong man squatted down and said softly, "Don't worry, Dad won't let it feel pain." ”
The little boy was stunned and asked, "No... Does it hurt?"
The strong man laughed, patted his chest and said: "Our Shi family doesn't have a ruthless butcher, your grandfather often said that although we kill pigs, the most important thing we can't forget is mercy, let the big white pig leave without pain, is a principle that we must not violate." ”
The little boy opened his mouth and lowered his head, his eyes full of sadness, "But... Big White Pig... Or will you die?"
The strong man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, no matter how merciful a butcher is, he is a butcher after all, and no matter how peaceful the life that is taken away is, it is still a sad death.
The black-haired young man patted the strong man's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Dad, don't force Xiaobai anymore, I know you don't want the generations of the Shi family to be abandoned in your hands, and you don't want to be ashamed of your grandfather's spirit in the sky... Dad, I understand, so I will take this responsibility, I don't like those complicated cities, I like the air here, I like this village with you and Xiaobai. ”
The strong man patted the slender and slender hand on his shoulder, and said softly: "Your hand is naturally used to hold a pen, how can I let you hold a knife?" ”
The strong man's laughter was heroic and unpretentious, and the young man pulled the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't laugh at all.
The little boy looked up at the young man, then turned his head to look at the strong man, suddenly let go of the little hand that grabbed the young man's trouser legs, ran to the edge of the wooden platform, stared at the big white pig that was tied up with wide eyes, and said loudly: "I want to see the pig killed, I... I'm not afraid!"
There were tears in the dark eyes, and the appearance of biting the lower lip was also pitiful, but the determined expression was moving.
The strong man's eyes were slightly moist, and he walked forward, saying as he walked: "A long, long time ago, our Shi family ancestors pursued a knife to seal their throats, but that would make the pig very painful when it died, so after countless years of improvement, our Shi family's choice to kill the pig now is to stab the heart!"
The strong man walked up to the big white pig, stretched out his hand and pointed to the left chest of the big white pig, and said: "This is where the heart of the big white pig is, but the fat of the pig is very thick, so it is quite difficult to stab the heart with a knife, and if you are not careful, it will bring more pain to the big white pig." ”
"However, this is the responsibility that our Shi family boys must bear. This knife must be swift and ruthless, without hesitation, without mercy, without mercy, because this is the only mercy we have left as butchers!"
As soon as the strong man's words fell, he suddenly raised his knife and stabbed the left chest of the big white pig.
"Whimper!"
The big white pig whimpered, his body twitched, he closed his eyes directly, and there was no movement, and a fresh life did not even have time to struggle, and it was completely dead.
The knife came so quickly and so suddenly that the little boy with his eyes wide open didn't have time to close his eyes.
"Wow!"
The little boy was dumbfounded for a moment, and then suddenly threw himself into the young man's arms with a loud cry.
The strong man sighed deeply, why didn't he cry so heartbroken back then?
The young man hugged the little boy tightly, his eyes full of distress.
"After graduating next year, I will come back and kill pigs. ”
"Qingming this year, I will tell your grandfather, we will not kill pigs in the future. ”
The two of them uttered these two words at the same time, which had different meanings but had the same meaning.
......
......
In the dark cupboard, the black-haired youth and the little boy curled up and hugged each other, the little boy shivered, and the black-haired youth kept caressing the little boy's back.
"Don't worry, Daddy's going to be fine, those bad guys... Someone will clean them up. ”
The young man seemed to be holding back something, and his voice trembled slightly.
The little boy's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Hero... Brother, heroes will come to clean up the bad guys, right?"
The young man was slightly stunned, then laughed dryly, and said in a positive tone: "Of course, the heroes that Xiaobai saw on TV are specially here to clean up the bad guys, the heroes will definitely save everyone, and Dad will definitely be fine." ”
"Hmm!"
The little boy nodded heavily, and his trembling body gradually calmed down.
At this moment, several footsteps with different rhythms suddenly came from outside the house.
The young man's breath stagnated, and he hurriedly "shh Want... Go out... Sound. ”
The little boy nodded slightly, buried his little head in the young man's chest, and his body trembled again.
Suddenly, a hoarse and fierce voice rang out from outside the house, and came through the window, through the cracks in the cupboards, and into the ears of the young man and the little boy.
"You bunch of waste, you can't do a butcher with a knife with a gun, and you ****** embarrassed to call yourself a terrorist when you slaughter two people with a rusty pig-killing knife?"
Then, a somewhat stammering male voice rang out.
"The butcher... It's kind of amazing..."
In the cupboard, the young man and the little boy heard this, looked at each other in the darkness, and smiled with joy.
The hoarse voice rang out again, "Can you be better than a gun? ”
The stammering voice didn't stutter this time, and he spoke unusually smoothly, "Yes, yes, or the boss is powerful, and the butcher will be destroyed with one shot!"
When the young man heard this, his eyes suddenly froze.
The little boy also reacted after a moment and cried out with an "ah".
The young man was startled, hurriedly covered the little boy's mouth, hugged the little boy's body tightly with the other hand, and whispered, "Shhh, don't make a sound." ”
However, it seemed that it was too late, and two voices outside the house rang out at this moment.
"Huh, there's someone in this house?"
"Boss, I heard you too. ”
"It seems that there is a fish that has slipped through the net, go, it just so happens that Lao Tzu has no vent for his belly, so he kills people!"
The sound of footsteps creeping from the outside of the house towards the door, was still audible through the cabinet door and the closed door.
A flash of despair flashed in the young man's eyes.
But there was a glimmer of hope right away.
He lowered his head and kissed the little boy on the forehead, spoke very quickly, and said in a solemn tone: "Xiaobai, remember, you are the king of kings, you rule the good and evil in the world, one day, the power of your evil king will awaken, you will take all the evil away from the world, you will save the world, because you are the king of the world." So, you have to live, live well, the world needs you. ”
After the young man finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and smashed the little boy's neck hard, feeling the stiff body in his arms gradually soften, and the young man smiled gently, like a daisy blooming in the cold winter.
He walked out of the window, picked up a rusty pig-killing knife, and rushed out the door.
Soon after, several gunshots and a few invectives rang out in the world outside the window, and the clamor lasted for a moment, turning into the coldest dead silence.
And in the world in the window, a small life sleeps.
......
......
In the virtual world, everyone is waiting for the name of the knife, whether it is the audience, the commentary, Princess Xiao Xiao, or the cardinal archbishop who suddenly appeared all pricked up their ears high, what kind of knife is it that easily pierces the black cocoon and dark shield of the virus, and instantly kills the wind without a trace?
"This knife is called ......"
Shi Xiaobai opened his mouth, and suddenly two lines of hot tears burst out of his eyes.
"It's called... It's called..."
He reached out to wipe his eyes, but the tears could not be stopped, and the words choked in his throat as if he was about to suffocate.
Two voices echoed in his head.
"Xiaobai is still young. ”
"The little white guts are relatively small. ”
"Dad, don't force Xiaobai anymore. ”
"I don't like those complicated cities, I like the air here, and I like this village with you and Xiaobai. ”
"After graduating next year, I will come back and kill pigs. ”
"So, you have to live, live well, the world needs you. ”
......
"Mercy butcher, this self-deceptive joke is enough for me. ”
"However, this is the responsibility that our Shi family boys must bear. ”
"Qingming this year, I will tell your grandfather, we will not kill pigs in the future. ”
......
Shi Xiaobai raised the short knife, looked up at the sky, let the tears fall to the earth, and said to the world in the gentlest voice.
"This knife is called a pig-killing knife!"
(ps: This wave of memories has filled in several holes and foreshadowing in front of me (you can look through the previous chapters when you have time, and you will know how much I have foreshadowed, hehe.) I'm still quite happy with this chapter. I don't know what you think. As for why the pig killing knife is so powerful, the next chapter will explain some things. If you like this knife, recommend tickets and tips to go!)
