When we arrived at the yard in front of a row of uneven gray tiled houses in Niujiazhuang, the farm vehicle that had been driving very slowly stopped. Niu Er got down from the driver's seat, raised his head and shouted to Shi Deyuan, who was squatting in the car, old man, get ready to come down.

Shi Deyuan said in the car, I won't come down, you go to the house to get the money, and then send me to the county hospital for examination, my lumbar vertebra is fractured, and now it is getting more and more painful.

Niu Er didn't want Shi Deyuan to come down, so he said you wait. He went straight to the open door of the house, and saw his father, a bare-headed old man, sitting in the upper hall rubbing twine.

There was already a bunch of newly rubbed white hemp rope beside him, and he was about to speak, but his father looked at him and opened his mouth first, second, I rubbed this lot of hemp rope, and dragged it to the county seat on a farm truck for you to sell! Sell some money, buy some delicious food, and it's good to have a holiday, the Dragon Boat Festival is only a few days apart.

Dad, I'm in trouble, how can I bring hemp rope to the street with you to sell? Niu Er, who had said this, walked up to his father with a helpless expression.

Oh my God, what did you mess with, does it matter? The father stopped rubbing the hemp rope and stared at his son and asked.

Important, my car hit an elderly man in his seventies. Niu Er said.

Did you get killed? Father asked.

No. He was injured in my car and asked me to take him to the county hospital, I had no money. I want to talk to you about what to do. Niu Er said with a melancholy expression.

It's over, sending people to the hospital is not a matter of a few hundred dollars, depending on how far you hit people, if it is powerful, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands are difficult to say. The father was anxious to speak out the seriousness of the matter.

Dad, do you have a thousand dollars? Give it to me first, and send the old man to the county hospital. Niu Er said what was in his heart.

The father got up from the seat, touched the back of his head, gritted his teeth, and then said to Niu Er, you get the old man off the car and leave it to me to deal with.

Dad, can you knead the injured old man well? Niu Er, who looked lonely, asked, his eyes occasionally brightened, and he seemed to see a hint of a turnaround.

Niu Er walked out of the hall, passed through a few doors, and walked quickly to the field in front of the house.

Shi Deyuan was caressing the edge of the body of the agricultural vehicle, and asked Niu Er, who came out in the middle of the night, alas, why didn't you send me to the county hospital to see a doctor?

Niu Er was stunned for a moment, and said in response to the question, let my father pinch and touch the injured part with you, maybe it will alleviate the injury.

At this time, my father came out of the house, and as soon as he saw Shi Deyuan sitting on the farm car, he knew that he had been to Centipede Ridge Village in his early years of "cattle fighting" (that is, doing cattle business), and he was familiar with Shi Deyuan. I saw him politely say to Shi Deyuan, I'm sorry, my son was blind in his car and hit Brother Shi.

Niu Taixing, it's you! Your son didn't hit me on purpose, it was a mistake, and now that he hit my lumbar spine, he still takes me to the county hospital to have a look. It hurts, I can't stand it! As he spoke, Shi Deyuan reached out to touch his already swollen lumbar vertebrae, but the action he made in the car body was invisible to others.

Brother Shi, let me have an opinion for you to listen to, I suggest you don't go to the hospital first, you were hit by a car, the pain is painful, it may not be too bad, I suggest you live in my house, I will help you treat, I have learned some bruise skills, and you can also pick some medicine on the mountain to boil a few pairs for you to drink, maybe you will drink well. Niu Er's father, Niu Taixing, said this, and he couldn't say that Shi Deyuan moved.

Shi Deyuan said hesitantly, Niu Taixing, I don't agree with the method you said, I suspect that my lumbar vertebrae are fractured, it's not just a few pairs of medicine, you need to take a film, and then put a plaster, of course, you also have to take medicine.

Presumably, these medical procedures will be limited in your home. No way! You still have to send me to the county hospital for medical insurance, so as not to delay the treatment time, and I am in severe pain now.

Niu Taixing saw that Shi Deyuan's face turned purple, and knew that he was hit by a car very lightly, but he didn't want to send him to the county hospital, because it would cost a lot of money, not to mention that he couldn't take it, and even if he could take it, he didn't want to take it.

At this time, Niu Taixing said in another way, Brother Shi, I am an old acquaintance with you, you should believe me, you come down first, come to my house to sit, I will pinch the injured part with you, I have a number in my heart, if you pinch and touch it well, I can't wait; If you don't pinch well, I'll call the dick who hit you with a car and send you to the county hospital for treatment. Is this okay?

Shi Deyuan didn't answer, looking at his bitter and helpless expression, it was both like acquiescence and stalemate. Niu Taixing felt that it was time, blinked his eyes, and motioned to his son to quickly get Shi Deyuan down and hand it over to him.

Niu Er willingly pulled the baffle on one side of the farm vehicle open the hanging button, and then put it down. Then he asked Shi Deyuan to step aside a little and let him lie on his back and carry him towards the house.

Niu Taixing led the way in front, and opened a wing room on the north side after passing the middle hall. Niu Er put Shi Deyuan in and sat on a stool against the wall. Niu Taixing glanced again, and Niu Er withdrew.

Niu Taixing immediately closed the door, fastened the latch, and then closed the window as well. The room suddenly became dim, and Shi Deyuan felt uncomfortable, so he asked, Niu Taixing, don't you want to pinch the part that was hit by the car with me? Now the doors and windows are closed tightly, the light is not good, how can you see?

If I treat you for bruises, you must be quiet, so close the doors and windows tightly to facilitate luck, and if you want to generate aura, you can't run out of breath. It's like cooking a pot of rice, cooking it with the lid open, the rice is hard to cook, and it burns more fuel. Do you know? Just pinching and touching your injured area does not work, and you need to use qigong treatment to see the effect.

Niu Taixing spoke, his eyes did not look at Shi Deyuan, but walked to the corner, squatted down and picked up a long thick rope, and then came to Shi Deyuan with a cruel smile and covered his body.

Shi Deyuan was a little panicked, and his body struggled and asked, what are you doing here? Niu Taixing, who was tightening the rope to tie Shi Deyuan's body, replied, I suspect that your lumbar vertebrae were hit and dislocated by the car, so I want to tie you up with a rope, tie your head down and your feet up on the beam and hang for a while, and pull the lumbar vertebrae that are dislocated to one side straight up, and your injury will be relieved, and it won't hurt too much.

I don't agree, if I have a fracture in my lumbar vertebrae, isn't it worse for me, an old man with a serious injury, to do this? Shi Deyuan questioned again.

Niu Taixing ignored it, and had already tied Shi Deyuan tightly with a thick rope and couldn't move, and then didn't hang him on the beam, but lifted the skinny and not too heavy Shi Deyuan with one hand, and hung the end of the thick rope on a wooden ladder against the wall, and said with a fierce face, Brother Shi, you can't blame me, my family is too poor, not long ago, my son Niu Er drove and hit someone, and spent all my savings for decades, which is not enough.

Today, my blind son Niu Er hit and injured you again, you are also over seventy years old, you should live enough! I'm going to clean up your old bones today, too.

Because our Niu family really doesn't have the money to send you to the county hospital for treatment, you also know that it's not a matter of one penny or two cents, so I want my son Niu Er's relationship with you to be over.

You want to kill me? Shi Deyuan's body trembled and asked.

Niu Taixing didn't answer immediately, but turned around and took out a sharp knife from the basket placed in the other corner of the wing, turned around and came to Shi Deyuan, and said seriously, This is the guy I usually kill cows, and I will come in handy today.

Help—Niu Taixing kills someone—Shi Deyuan shouted hoarsely.

You name it! You can call enough, no one can hear it, this wing room is surrounded by a deep mansion compound, and you shout in vain when you break your throat. Niu Taixing used the hard back of a sharp knife to knock on Shi Deyuan's wrinkled forehead, and spoke very presumptuously.

At this time, Shi Deyuan was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body. He begged, "Let me live!" I don't want your family to pay for my back injury, I don't.

Who will believe your nonsense, once you are released and out of control, you will regret it. Niu Taixing said with a sharp knife against Shi Deyuan's throat.

Niu Taixing, I'm not bad for you! In the early years, you sold cattle, and when you arrived in Centipede Ridge Village, I left you to eat at my house! Don't you remember how good I was to you? Shi Deyuan said this to unravel his murderous actions.

What does a meal count? Of course, just because I ate a meal at your house, I still remember your kindness, and I will let you die a happy death today, cut your throat with a knife, and you will soon return to heaven. Otherwise, I don't remember your good, and I prick the non-lethal parts of your body, and you are in terrible pain, but you can't die, then it will be really uncomfortable.

Niu Taixing said, and swiped the sharp knife in his hand towards Shi Deyuan's neck. Shi Deyuan, who was bleeding for a moment and his body twitched for a while, died, but his dead eyes seemed to have been staring at Niu Taixing, which was extremely terrifying.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Shi Deyuan's son Shi Xiangyang saw that his father did not come home, so he called his sister Shi Xiuli in the city and asked, is his father celebrating the festival with you? Shi Xiuli was anxious when she heard this, and said no, a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, her father went back, and I also gave him the money to buy a ticket.

Shi Xiangyang said, that's over, I don't know where my father went, and he didn't go home anyway. Did he get in the wrong car? A truckload tows him out of town, and that's really troublesome. Shi Xiuli continued to say on the phone, impossible, my father did not suffer from dementia, he was sober-minded!

He is such a sober person, why hasn't he come home for so long? And today is a holiday, he has a strong sense of self-esteem, so old, it is impossible to celebrate the holiday in someone else's house. Shi Xiangyang speculated.

After a while, he put down the phone and told his wife Liu Yuying about his father's disappearance. Liu Yuying, who was wearing a bib to make holiday dishes, had nothing to worry about.

At this time, it was almost noon, and there were still a few dishes that had not been fried, so she was in a hurry to find her father-in-law. The mother-in-law left a few years ago, and she muttered that if her mother-in-law was still alive, her father-in-law would not move around, and even if she walked, she would have a care with her mother-in-law. When my mother-in-law was alive, she never left her father-in-law. Outsiders say so, this pair of old people are always glued together, and the scale is really inseparable from the scale, and the scale is inseparable from the scale.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuying blamed herself and thought that she, her husband and even the younger generations of the Shi family had not fulfilled their responsibilities to take care of the elderly. At this time, she has to go out to look for her missing father-in-law without eating. Shi Xiangyang said, Yuying, after eating the Dragon Lunch, I went out to look for my father separately, and now I go out to look for it, and I can't go hungry.

So the couple hastily ate lunch, kept the fragrant and good dishes, and planned to find the old man to go home and enjoy it together at dinner. However, the couple searched separately for a whole afternoon, and all the relatives searched all over the house, and they all said that the old man Shi Deyuan had not been here, and he had not seen him for a long time.

The Shi family panicked, but they still kept calm, and while they were searching, they posted advertisements for missing person notices everywhere, but it still didn't work, so they found newspapers, radio and television stations and other media to pay for advertisements for missing person notices, but there was still no news.

Shi Xiangyang was depressed every day, and went to the police station in his hometown Yanghuo Town with his sister to report the case.

The director of the police station returned to the revetment and heard them tell the story of Shi Deyuan's disappearance, and immediately called up Shi Deyuan's ID card information from the computer for observation.

Because of these nights, he had nightmares for several nights, and the appearance of an old man in the dream was very similar to the appearance of Shi Deyuan who was called up on the computer.

What surprised him even more was that the old man in the dream always showed him a painful expression, and suddenly, the old man's body exploded, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. When I returned to the revetment, I began to be careless, always thinking that I was too tired during the day, and if I didn't rest well, my nerves were tired, and I was prone to nightmares.

But now he connected Shi Deyuan, who had been missing for many days, with the old man in his dream, which caused alarm. He has learned that Shi Deyuan is not usually confused, and it is unlikely that he will be confused suddenly; Besides, an old man with no money can still be kidnapped? No way. He also asked the old man to be kind, and he did not have a grudge against anyone, and there was no vendetta.
