Chapter 41: Li Douniu
The village of Zhaojialou has only a total of more than 100 people, but compared to the sparse population, the village is disproportionately large, and the roads are not proportionately large. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although it has only one main road that runs from north to south, there are many alleys and sockets between the two sides of the road. It is intricate, and the buildings in the village, especially the roads, are also very neat and exquisite.
Those bluestone roads give me a very deep image, walking on the top, always give me a patchwork, delicate and neat experience, and the stone surface is smooth and clean, although it has been used for a long time, completely grinding off the edges and sharpness, but still strong and durable, which shows the original craftsman's intentions.
Walking on this empty and comfortable stone road, I had some questions in my heart, so I asked Li Douniu beside me: "The village is quite big, why do there are more than 100 people living in it?" ”
Li Douniu may have been scared stupid, but after I asked twice, he came back to his senses and said simply: "There used to be a lot of people in the Zhao family, but now ...... All gone. ”
I nodded, quickly making up the meaning of the sentence.
After the children surnamed Zhao in Zhaojialou left in large numbers, the huge "empty shell" of Zhaojialou was left, and because of their departure, the village quickly declined, the scenery was no longer there, and the heritage was completely gone.
Today, it has lost the "context" on which it depends, and is in a dying "state".
In short, this is a declining corner, full of sadness about the Zhao family's downfall.
All this can't help but make people guess what kind of series of changes happened to the Zhao family back then, so that they were forced to abandon this ancestral land that their ancestors had guarded for hundreds of years, and fled in all directions......
With this emotion in my heart, I followed Li Douniu's guidance and soon came to the door of his house.
"It's ...... here," Li Douniu, the coward, pointed to the door panel and said in a trembling voice.
I looked up at the panel of his door, completely disbelieving what was happening before me.
The door panel of Li Douniu's house was full of blood spurting from the door of his head, and the wooden brown door was mossy and dilapidated, and the door panel was empty, and it was dark inside.
I looked at the blood stains on the door, and I muttered in my heart.
I have also learned the power of the old squad leader's corpse, and that kind of violence is indeed terrifying.
In desperation, I had to squat down first and look through the crack in the door, wanting to observe the situation in the door.
Looking through the crack in the door, I could see three low adobe houses in the moonlight.
The house was very simple and dilapidated, and the windows were pitch black, so I don't know what was going on inside.
In the face of the unknown, I couldn't help but mutter.
In fact, I know very well that instead of rushing to take risks alone, it is better to wait here by myself, or find a way to contact Xian Hongye and them, there are many people, and it is not too late to act.
But to do so...... Psychologically, I couldn't bear it.
After all, according to Li Douniu's description, there were two big living people in the room.
I'm not a noble person, but I really look down on this Li Douniu's cowardice. Nor disdain his selfish behavior.
In order to escape, she doesn't even care about her wife and children, is she a human being? Such a brute! How can it be equipped with a wife and children.
As soon as I thought of this, I felt anger and sorrow in my heart, and I felt sorry for his wife and children.
So, I want to save the pair of abandoned women, whether they are alive or dead.
So, I still lifted the folding chair in my hand for self-defense, and said to Li Douniu behind me: "Let's go in together!" ”
Li Douniu, this bastard, after his eyes rolled around, he dared to answer me: "I don't dare...... I'll be waiting for you outside, right? ”
This made me angry.
In a fit of rage, I slapped him on the head a few times with my hand, and at the same time said fiercely, "It's your son inside!" Weigh it yourself! Are you still human? ”
My words made Li Douniu's whole body tremble, although his blood-stained face was touched, but it was obvious that the fear was more than the worry about his son.
Ay! Looking at his obscene appearance, I once again complained in my heart about God's unfairness. Such a bastard can have a son, but an honest person like me doesn't even have a partner?
What a world!
In the helpless lamentation, as if to reflect my sorrow, in the dark room of Li Douniu's house, a burst of baby cries suddenly sounded.
"Wow......" The baby's cry was violent and abnormal, and the hoarse voice stimulated me and Li Douniu both trembled all over, and at the same time straightened our necks.
At this moment, Li Douniu seemed to finally remember his responsibility as a father.
He shouted "son" softly in his eyes, and then grabbed my hand and said, "Save my son!" ”
I thought for a moment with a blank face, then handed him the folding chair in my hand and said, "Your son! Let's see for yourself. Soft eggs! ”
My words are both taunting and encouraging him, but I hope they will have the latter effect.
With my words, a trace of fear flashed in Li Douniu's eyes again. But his son's screams were clearly worrying as well.
So, he took the chair I handed him tremblingly.
"Let's go together? Li Douniu said worriedly.
"Don't worry!" I patted him on the shoulder and said, "I have a conscience, not like you!" ~”
In the face of my ridicule, Li Douniu smiled awkwardly, turned around, and pushed open the door of his house.
He and I walked in.
The courtyard of the Li family is full of weeds and poor, with a typical down-and-out style.
Ay! According to his character, it is not surprising that he has lived like this.
However, it is completely different from this kind of downfall, the yard of his house is very large, the layout of the house is also due north and south, and the foundation wall bricks are also stacked very neatly, with the style of everyone's compound.
I looked at everything in this courtyard, and suddenly realized that this courtyard was obviously left by the Zhao family, although they were dilapidated, but they still retained traces of their former glory, narrating the glory of their former owners.
In the midst of this interweaving of glory and defeat, I quickly walked through the courtyard and came to one of the three stone-based adobe houses.
At this time, Li Douniu's son was still crying, the crying was intermittent, faint but unusually clear. The source of the sound came from one of the three earthen houses.
The thought of facing my old squad leader's corpse again made me nervous.
At this moment, Li Douniu and I went one after the other, and did not go in immediately, because I understood that it was also very difficult for my boss's corpse to be subdued at this time.
In desperation, I had to bump into the guts, and once I looked inside along the door of Li Douniu's house, trying to find out the situation first.
After I looked at it for a while, Li Douniu asked softly, "Do you see my son?" ”
I nodded, and at the same time answered him in a cold sweat: "Your son...... Why in the pot? ”
