Chapter 2: The Night of the Stump Slaughter 2
readx;?“ My real surname is Xia. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" I nodded vigorously.
After a while, he let go of my palm and tilted his head upward, as if talking to himself, and as if asking someone: "He is also surnamed Xia, and he is also surnamed Xia...... Do you believe him?
I shook my right arm vigorously, and then hurriedly raised my left hand and rubbed the palm of my right palm.
The green tiles on the top of the main hall "clicked" three times, and three people fell from the sky and fell silently at the door of the hall.
"Don't you believe me?" the man asked, turning to the three men.
All three were wearing masks, and most of their faces were covered by black masks.
"If you believe, we will believe. One of them replied.
"You don't believe it, and we don't believe it. The other replied.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. You are the king of physiognomy, and we believe in you. The third person replied.
The man looked up, pondered for a few seconds, and then spoke again: "So, what about you? What do you mean by not speaking, not speaking?"
I looked up, too, but all I could see was the beams crisscrossing the shadows.
The light of the candles cast upwards scatteredly, and the carvings on the beams of the roof became blurry and eerie, like sigils left by ghosts.
I swallowed so hard that my throat felt like it was cracking, and the only thing I felt was a hot pain.
"Speak?" the man urged.
As soon as the wind sounded at the entrance of the hall, more than a dozen people fell from the sky in a row, but they were only lined up behind the three people, and they were all silent.
"He knows?" asked the masked man.
"I judge, Xia Cheng knows. The man turned to the eldest brother and lifted his chin.
"Ask him to say. Said the man wearing the mask.
He wouldn't speak, his bones were hard. The man said.
"I'll try. Said the man wearing the mask.
In front of my eyes, the first person wearing a mask to speak had already arrived in front of my eldest brother.
The eldest brother's hands were tied behind the pillar, but he shouted loudly, and the rope broke with a "boom". His right hand reached into his arms, took out the military thorn that never left his body, and stabbed his backhand into the body of the man in front of him.
Most of the young people in the five major districts of Jinan know the eldest brother's military thorn, and the eldest brother on the road in Lixia, Licheng, Shizhong, Tianqiao, and Huaiyin will give some face when he sees the military thorn, which is also the most proud thing for me, because I am the younger brother of Xia Cheng.
I have watched my eldest brother wipe this military thorn with gun oil and soft towel countless times, and look forward to one day being like him, having his own military thorn, and like my eldest brother, every time he faces the enemy, he can say arrogantly - "Come to the general name, I Xia Moujun stabbed me, and I will not kill the nameless ghost!"
This time, somehow, the thorn was in the man's hand in the blink of an eye.
The eldest brother kept his hands and feet, inserted his right foot between the opponent's legs, and took out the opponent's left armpit with his right hand, using the "backhand pin" in Jinan wrestling.
Jinan is one of the four major wrestling fields in old China, and my neighbor Sha Lao Fist is an authentic descendant of Jinan wrestling, so every trick and style used by the eldest brother is the Sha family's housekeeping means.
With a "bang", the man reversed the military spur, and wiped it against the neck of the eldest brother, and a stream of bloody arrows shot out, soaring eight feet away.
"Don't bother, little hairy boy. The man with the gun to my head laughed.
The man's legs were clamped and twisted, and the knee of the eldest brother's right leg snapped.
"Divine Water Mirror, give it to me, and you'll be fine. Said the man wearing the mask.
He wounded his eldest brother's neck with a wave of his hand, twisted one of his legs, took a step back, and flicked the blood-stained military thorn, which did not take us seriously in the slightest.
Hearing the words "Divine Water Mirror", the people at the entrance of the hall all pricked up their ears, held their breath, and listened attentively.
It's the first time I've heard that name, and I've never heard a word before, and I don't even know what it is.
"I ...... I don't know. The eldest brother barely stood still, blood dripping down his chest, soaking half of his clothes.
"Xia family, only you know. Said the man wearing the mask.
"I don't know what you're talking about. The eldest brother shook his head.
I looked at the upside-down wound on his neck, and my whole body was numb and stiff, and I didn't know what to do.
"The secret of the Xia family is passed on to the son but not to the daughter, and the daughter-in-law not to the son-in-law. Don't you know, is it possible?" the masked man shook off his thorn, and all the blood on the snow blade fell to the ground.
"I don't know......," the eldest brother laughed miserably.
The man wearing the mask hooked his foot, and the eldest brother fell on his back.
"The Xia family's ancestral invincible physiognomy is good at glimpsing the fate of fate with the lines and veins of the human body, this time, I will slash down along your lines until you open your mouth......" The man wearing the mask muttered, slowly squatted down, and pressed the elbow of the eldest brother's right arm with his right knee knee.
Except for me, everyone looked at me blankly and didn't say a word.
"Uncle, please, let my eldest brother go. "I made a bold request to the man in front of me.
At this time, I have to do something to save my eldest brother's life.
The man's voice became lower and softer: "As long as he takes things out, I will release him and release you." ”
"Uncle, I really don't know, my house is on the south bank of Daming Lake, you can go to my house to search, just search it out and take it away. Please, let my eldest brother go, please, uncle!" I begged him in a low voice.
The man shook his head: "That's a secret, only your eldest brother knows." ”
The man wearing the mask aimed the military thorn in his hand at the palm of the eldest brother, and suddenly exerted his strength and stabbed it hard.
The sharp blade pierced the palm, and it must have been extremely painful, but the eldest brother gritted his teeth and endured it without saying a word.
"Sichuan character pattern, the first knife, first cut off your mountain and river qi veins. Bear with me, see how many knives you can endure?" the masked man laughed like an owl.
"Coo, coo, coo, coo......" Outside the window, two owls suddenly cried at night, waking me up from the abyss of memory and pulling me up.
I jumped up, looked at the heartbeat curve of the monitor that was jumping regularly, and then looked at the neat ward, and then woke up and realized that I had just been half-dreaming and half-remembering, reliving the events of the night my eldest brother was killed.
Time flies so fast, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the tragic death of the eldest brother has become a headless public case.
Only I remember it, and only I carved the words "avenge my eldest brother" in my heart. If this doesn't happen, I won't close my eyes until I die.
There are only two people left in the Xia family, except for me, who is the grandfather lying on the opposite bed.
The name of the grandfather is written on the patient sign at the bedside, and his name is the words "Shangjiu Xiaxiang".
Long before the eldest brother was killed, my grandfather had already suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and he was in a mess all day long, unable to even take care of himself with trivial matters in life, and could not be taken care of by others.
I walked to the hospital bed, and there was still a bottom left in the bottle of glucose injection, and it was time to change the bottle.
Originally, I would have just pressed the bedside call button, and someone at the nurse's station would bring a new bottle to replace it. However, I now wanted to go out and breathe, so I gently opened the door and walked out.
The new wards of the municipal hospital are extremely spacious, and the ceiling of the corridor is softly lit, creating a quiet and peaceful medical environment.
This is the closest hospital to my family, and I have to send my grandfather over three or four times a year on average, either with anti-inflammatory drugs or health care pills. If I didn't have a citizen health insurance to reimburse some of the expenses, my grandfather's hospitalization expenses alone would have left me in debt.
I walked to the nurse's station and told the little nurse on duty to change the bottle.
The little nurse's surname is Li, she wears big glasses, has a smile, and has an excellent temper.
"Dr. Tang, I'm going to change the dressing bottle for a bed. She called to the doctor's duty room behind the nurses' station.
The door to the duty room opened, and a young girl in a white lab coat floated out.
"Doctor Tang, I'll go change the medicine bottle, please help me take care of it. Nurse Li said.
The girl nodded, and after Nurse Li left with the medicine bottle, she smiled at me: "It's Mr. Xia's family, right?"
I nodded: "Yes, the patient is my grandfather, and I am Xia Shi." ”
The girl pointed to the work card hanging from her chest: "Tang Wan." ”
This is a very beautiful girl, with picturesque facial features, a slender figure, black hair tied into a one-foot-long ponytail hanging down her back, looking clean and capable.
"It's hard work, isn't it? I saw several patients on this floor who needed all-night infusions. I said.
Tang Wan smiled: "It's not hard, it's the patients and the families who accompany them who really work hard." Like you, you go to work during the day and stay here at night. ”
I was a little ashamed: "I'm okay, I didn't go to work, I opened my own small shop, and my time is quite free." ”
Tang Wan smiled and nodded: "That's really good." ”
As soon as we chatted a few words, the intercom on the table rang, and it was Nurse Li's voice: "Doctor Tang, there are some small changes in the condition of the patient in the first bed, can you please come and have a look?"
I was taken aback, and immediately turned around and prepared to go back to the ward.
Tang Wan moved extremely fast, walked out of the nurse's station in a few steps, and rushed to the ward side by side with me.
Nurse Li has turned on the ceiling light in the ward and is using an electronic blood pressure monitor to check her grandfather's blood pressure.
"Blood pressure and heartbeat fluctuate a little too much, and the pressure difference is also beyond the normal range-" Tang Wan glanced at the monitoring screen, and then took out the stethoscope from his pocket.
"When I came in, the patient sat up and stared straight out the window. Nurse Li whispered.
I was a little surprised, because my grandfather was extremely weak after being admitted to the hospital this time, and he could barely get up without the help of others, so he could only lie flat weakly. These symptoms are well documented in the doctor's ward rounds.
"Really?" Tang Wan didn't show excessive surprise, but responded indifferently.
"It's scary, there's nothing outside the window. I called him, but he didn't answer, sat for a while, and then lay down again, his blood pressure and heartbeat rose to more than 200 at once, and the monitor was red and alarmed. Nurse Lee replied.
I went to the window to look, it was on the fifth floor of the hospital, and there were only a few old poplar trees outside the window. The new leaves and branches of the old trees are thriving in the night, indicating that spring has arrived in the spring city.
"It's nothing. I went back and told Tang Wan and Nurse Li.
"That'...... Then I don't know, anyway, the patient keeps staring out the window. There was a night owl screaming desperately just now, scaring me to death, but scaring me to death......" Nurse Li patted her chest, her pale face softened slightly.
