Chapter Twenty-Three: Old Man

This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and it made me scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

When I followed the villagers to the door of Wang Hu's house, Wang Hu was squatting on the ground watching the ants move, and his mouth was still dripping with saliva.

And the way he was dressed was exactly what I had seen in the hotel's surveillance.

Immediately, anger rose in my heart, and I stepped forward in three or two steps, grabbed Wang Hu's collar and said.

"Where did you take that girl on horseback? Don't play stupid! Say it! ”

When the words fell, I raised my hand and slapped him in the face.

Syllable!

The crowd was in an uproar, especially Wang Hu's younger brothers.

Seeing that I was rude to Wang Hu, several people scolded and scolded, and they were about to step forward with their arms and sleeves.

I jerked my head back, just glaring at them, and a few of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to step forward.

"Chen Xian! Don't go too far! Now it is a society governed by the rule of law, and if you hit someone, you will be held legally responsible! ”

Several people were frightened away by me and reluctantly resorted to the weapon of the law against me.

I sneered and said, "A few ruffians who collect protection money still know the law? ”

"If you want to call the police, you should go quickly, don't talk about it here, who are you scaring about?"

Anyway, I gave Wang Hu another slap in the face!

Wang Hu's face was swollen and red by me.

But he didn't know the pain, and he still laughed at me, and the snot bubbles came out.

"Laugh at your mother! Girl! Say! I roared and punched him in the abdomen.

Wang Hu bowed to the ground, muttering: "Catch the thief!" Catch the thief! I'm going to catch the thief! ”

"Fuck you!" I was so angry that I was about to step forward again, when the villagers behind me stopped me.

"Chen Xian, he's already crazy, it's useless if you kill him!"

"That is to say, Chen Xian, what are you planning with a madman?"

I struggled twice, but I couldn't stand the crowd, and under the control of the villagers, I slowly calmed down, knowing that it was useless to be anxious.

"Get a cigarette." I raised my hand behind me, and a villager handed me a cigarette and lit it for me.

After two puffs, I stared at Wang Hu, who was lying on the ground crazy, and asked, "When did he go crazy?" ”

"Last night!"

"How mad?"

A little brother of Wang Hu stood up and said, "Yesterday at noon, Brother Hu was punched by you, and the whole person began to become a little wrong. ”

"After dark, he kept saying that he was cold, that he was afraid, that if he didn't catch the thief, he would be killed!"

"So, Brother Tiger called several of us to his house, and we stayed with Brother Tiger for one night."

"By the time this morning, Brother Tiger will be completely insane! Chen Xian, it's all your fault! ”

"If it weren't for your punch, Brother Tiger wouldn't have gone crazy, you ...... say"

I looked up, and with a fluttering look, he was so frightened that he shut up.

Then, I sneered and stepped forward and said, "Lao Tzu didn't kill him yesterday, he was already going to burn high incense to celebrate, and he still has a face to blame Lao Tzu?" Scold! ”

I squinted, fell on Wang Hu, and asked with a smile: "Crazy?" Okay, I'm going to be crazy, aren't you going to catch the thief? Here, eat this thing, and I'll take you to catch the thief!" ”

I shook the cigarette butt in front of Wang Hu.

He looked at me with excitement in his eyes.

"Really?"

"Really, let's eat."

I smiled and put the cigarette butt in his hand.

The hot cigarette butt rolled around in his palm, making a sizzling sound as it burned his skin.

However, Wang Hu felt as if he didn't feel it at all, he smiled and picked up the cigarette butt and was about to stuff it into his mouth.

"Brother Tiger! You can't eat it! A younger brother stepped forward to stop him at this time and slapped the cigarette butt off Wang Hu's hand.

Wang Hu became anxious and shouted, "I want to eat!" Eat to catch the thief! You let me eat! ”

"Can't eat it! Brother Tiger! He lied to you! The little brother said as he vigorously stomped on the cigarette butt.

Seeing the light of the fire on the cigarette butt dimming, Wang Hu actually let out a childlike cry.

"Wow! You bully me, don't let me eat, don't let me catch thieves! ”

"You're a bad person! I'm not going to be nice to you, you go away! ”

Behind me, there was a lot of discussion among the villagers.

"Why did Chen Xian become like this? Bullying a madman? Is it necessary? ”

"I see that he is quite an honest child on weekdays, but I didn't expect it, it's all pretended!"

"What kind of ability is it to bully a madman, Lao Li must know that you are like this, you can be to death! What a shame for our Hezi Village! ”

Listening to the villagers' discussions, I turned a deaf ear, stared at Wang Hu's face, and fell into deep thought.

Judging from Wang Hu's every move just now, his madness is different from what I imagined, he is really crazy, not pretending to be crazy and stupid.

But that's weird, how can a madman do something purposefully?

I asked, "Has Wang Hu been to the county seat today?" ”

A junior brother shook his head and said, "No, Brother Tiger has been staying in the village." ”

"Are you sure?" I looked up at each other.

The little brother looked evasive, hesitated for two seconds, and then nodded heavily.

"I'm sure!"

"You fart!" I shook my hand and gave him a slap in the face.

"I want to hear the truth!"

The little brother covered his face and said aggrievedly: "Early this morning, Brother Tiger ran out, saying that he was going to catch the thief, but we couldn't stop it if we wanted to." ”

"Then, he was lost by Brother Tiger, and we don't know where he went, until an hour ago, he came back, and after that, he has been squatting here counting ants."

I said, "He went to the county seat and took away the girl I brought back yesterday." ”

"Do you know why Wang Hu arrested that girl and poured chicken blood on her? Say she's evil? ”

Several of the younger brothers shook their heads, and one of them explained: "Brother Tiger only asks us to do things, never asks us more." ”

"So has he been in contact with anyone recently?"

"I don't know."

"You follow him like a dog every day, why don't you know anything?" I cursed angrily.

Several people lowered their heads and remained silent, and at this time, a little girl's immature voice came from the crowd.

"I know!"

I looked up and saw a four or five-year-old girl with a watermelon hair.

Her parents were nearby, and her mother gave the little girl a mouthful to stop talking.

I walked over and asked with a smile, "Little sister, what do you know?" Can you tell my brother? ”

The little girl looked at her mother, who smiled and said to me, "The child is not sensible, and he is talking nonsense." ”

"Let her speak." My voice was cold, my mother closed her mouth, and the little girl spoke.

"Then you have to treat me to candy, more than that grandpa, so I can tell you!"

"Okay!" I felt in my pocket and pulled out a ten-dollar note for her.

"You can use this money to go to the commissary, and you can buy lots and lots of candy."

The little girl happily took the money and said, "This morning, I saw that uncle at the entrance of the village. ”

"He went with a grandfather, and the grandfather gave me two pieces of candy and told me not to talk about it."

"Do you know Grandpa? Is it from the village? I asked.

The little girl nodded: "Yes." ”

Then, he reached out and pointed at me, saying.

"It's the grandfather of my brother's family!"
