Chapter 32: Warmth
Early the next morning.
Zhang Mingliang got up early, dug a big pit in the backyard, and buried the dead old cattle in it.
He decided to take a break in the middle of nowhere, a small village in the middle of nowhere with no people on weekdays, which helped him hide himself. He then had to think about what he should do in the future and where he was going, which was a difficult question to draw conclusions about.
"Son, come and have breakfast, Dad made your favorite noodles. ”
The old man was stimulated last night and only now woke up. When they came, they got busy, and they wanted to make breakfast for their son.
"Got it, Dad. ”
It's just one night, Zhang Mingliang naturally called Liu Laohan like this, he hasn't been back for a long time, just because of the travel expenses saved every year, he can buy more medicine for his old mother and give his younger brother two more months of living expenses.
He looked at Liu Laohan, who was busy on the stove, while adding firewood to the stove, he took down the bacon on the beam, cut it into small pieces on the cutting board, and then stir-fried it in a small pot and put it on the noodles as an additive, which was his long-lost homely taste.
He sat down on a small shabby stool, picked up the noodles, and ate them in large gulps.
"Son, you're back, it's good, it's good that the 30,000 yuan has been burned by me, and I still want to marry you a daughter-in-law. ”
The old man trembled and took out a small cloth bag, which contained the money left over from the burning last night, as well as the money he had saved by farming and helping others over the years.
"You see, son, plus what I have saved over the years, now we have a total of more than 40,000, although it is not enough to marry a daughter-in-law, but it is enough to renovate the old house. When I was young, I was a good hand at building houses, as long as we bought the materials, we didn't need to use labor, and we could build them. When you have a new house, your father will go out with you to work and earn the money from marrying your daughter-in-law, and then your daughter-in-law will give birth to a big fat boy, and I will go down to see your mother. ”
Liu Laohan chattered about his future plans, he seemed to have forgotten the fact of the death of his biological son before, and was full of hope and longing for the future.
"Well, Dad, I know that I still have a lot of strength, as long as I am willing to work, I will definitely be able to make a lot of money. ”
Zhang Mingliang didn't sleep last night, he also thought about it a lot, from what transaction he completed in his dream inexplicably, to being beaten by the foreman and almost killing him before, to his sudden outburst and killing five people at once.
His transformation is too great, he feels that he was the real himself at that time, he was bound by the world and life before, but now his vision suddenly opened up, and he can do more things he wants to do in the future.
But how to face Wanted?
Many workers saw what happened last night, and the police must have issued a wanted warrant. He can hide for a while in this small remote village, but once he appears in a crowded place, then he will definitely be recognized.
Moreover, the whole village knew that the old man's son was dead, and now if the old man took him out and told others everywhere that this was his son, the people of the village would also suspect it.
For a while, he didn't have a good way, so he could only take one step at a time.
"Dad, I'm done eating, I'm a little stuffy, go out for a walk. ”
Zhang Mingliang put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and stood up.
"Okay, remember to come back for lunch later, and I'll take you to the next village to buy materials in the afternoon." ”
Zhang Mingliang got up and walked out the door.
At this time, it was the height of summer, and the sun was already a little hot at nine o'clock.
He walked out of the courtyard gate and looked at this dilapidated little village, he couldn't remember how long he had walked last night, but now his endurance was almost endless, and he could maintain the sprint and running speed of a professional athlete at any time, and in one night, he had walked hundreds of kilometers.
The village looks very shabby, and although many of the houses are newly built, it doesn't seem like there are people living in it for long, except for one or two old people in the yard who bask in the sun and watch their grandchildren play.
In the current village, at most, there is no way to maintain food and clothing in the fields, and most of the young people have to go out to work, and those who stay are the elderly and children.
It is a very desolate village, although it is still inhabited, and you can see brand new houses within a few steps, but there is no life, and there is a feeling of lifelessness.
There are only a few children playing on the road in twos and threes, not making cheerful laughter.
It would be nice if I could live in this place all the time, but it would be nice if I could bring my parents with me.
However, this is just an unattainable luxury. From the moment he broke out the night before, he could no longer live with his parents and younger brother, and he was destined to wander the world and struggle to survive. Maybe one day, he will be killed, and his parents and brother will be able to claim his body.
As he walked, he watched everywhere where he could hide and what his escape route would be if he faced a possible next pursuit.
After observing all this, he slowly returned to Liu Laohan's house.
"Son, you're back, I'm going to kill one of the free-range chickens raised in the yard to make up for you. ”
"You must be reluctant to eat and drink outside, you look at you, you are a little thin. ”
The old man was grabbing a strong rooster, which looked like it was three kilograms, the rooster fluttered its wings and struggled, looking at the way the rooster struggled, a primitive wildness rose in Zhang Mingming's heart.
No, I have to control myself, if I lose control, this old man will definitely die.
He forcibly suppressed the bloodthirsty desire in his heart, turned and walked into the house.
The old man has no other means of communication, only an elderly machine, and he can't access the Internet or see the news. Only a dilapidated color TV was in the room, which looked to be more than ten years old.
He turned on the TV and found that there was only satellite TV and two or three local channels.
Zhang Mingliang took the remote control and tuned to the local satellite TV, and it happened to be the noon news on the TV.
"Below, there is a major announcement, a notice issued by the police station to all citizens. ”
The beautiful hostess said as the screen turned, and Yun Feng appeared on the TV.
"Hello everyone, I am Yun Feng of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of J City, and I will convey an urgent message to you. ”
"The night before yesterday, there was a major criminal case in our city, the murderer is extremely cruel, inhumane, and is still at large, and then I will publish the photo of the murderer, if you see the suspected murderer, you must not act rashly, first ensure your own safety, stay away from the murderer, and then report to the police, please call the special line at the bottom of the screen to contact the police. ”
After Yun Feng finished speaking, a bright photo appeared on the screen, which was taken when he had just arrived in this city and applied for a temporary residence permit, looking timid, really not like a murderer. And he was thin and cowardly at that time, and now he is transformed and strong, completely different from him, that is, people who knew him before, it took a while to recognize him when they saw him.
