Chapter 109: The Loser Goes Crazy
It is said that Li Tieniu saw that Brother Biao took the initiative to go out to herd the cattle, so he also planned to ease the conflict, and took the initiative to cook and cook Chinese food, but unexpectedly, the left and right, the people did not come back, and the cattle did not come back.
Until three o'clock in the afternoon, there was still no trace of one person and one cow. The meal was hot and cold, cold and hot, and in the end, Li Tieniu finally couldn't help it, let go of the dignity and pimple in his heart, and went out to find Brother Biao.
At first, she quietly searched alone, but searched all the streets and alleys of the village, but found nothing. At four o'clock in the afternoon, she finally mustered up the courage to ask:
"Have you seen my Ah Biao? He led a cow out the door. ”
The man generally shook his head and ignored her. In addition to the women shaking their heads, they will continue to gossip:
"Hey, you reconciled so soon?"
There are a few women with broken mouths, but they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they also educate Li Tieniu seriously:
"This man, you can't get used to it. You can get used to any problem. There is no need to look for it, he will naturally go home when he is hungry. ”
Li Tieniu was not taught, and continued to look for one person and one cow that belonged to her.
It wasn't until five o'clock in the afternoon that Li Tieniu found his familiar bull at the foot of the mountain, but the person leading in front of him was not Brother Biao, but the respected old village chief, Uncle Qiang.
Li Tieniu was overjoyed, ran and ran, came to the head of the cow, and without taking a breath, he asked:
"Uncle Qiang, my family-where is my Ah Biao?"
Uncle Qiang's tone was very dissatisfied:
"The legs are long under him, and you come to ask me?"
Li Tieniu crossed his waist with one hand and pointed to the bull's head with the other, rightly speaking:
"Ah Biao went out with this cow in the morning, and now, the cow is in your hands, but the person is gone, I don't ask who you ask?"
Uncle Qiang has confirmed his guess at this point: Brother Biao sold the cattle on his own initiative and did not discuss it with his wife.
But it's not a big deal for a man to make his own decisions, and in the eyes of the rednecks, it's a normal deal. Since Uncle Qiang paid a high price of 2,000 yuan, he was full of confidence, and his answer was even more reasonable:
"In the morning he sold the cattle to me, took the money and ran away."
Li Tieniu just woke up from a dream, this Ah Biao was not suddenly determined to return to normal life, but played even more crazy, and actually sold the only reliance in the family.
Li Tieniu has been depressed and unhappy in the past few months, and he has not been able to recover his pre-war mental state, the main reason is not that he was beaten by Brother Biao, but in the process of fighting, he broke a water tank, killed a chicken, and finally ran away with a pig.
What she never forgets every day is the pig that has been raised for more than half a year. Unexpectedly, she hadn't recovered from the pig yet, and the Ah Biao sold the family's biggest dependence-cow.
Isn't that the rhythm that kills her?
Li Tieniu's thick and black lips were flattened, and he almost cried, but at the critical moment, he held back the cry again, and suddenly sat on the ridge and said a shocking conclusion:
"No, you must have killed you for money."
Uncle Qiang and the cow froze in place together, the people didn't speak, the cow didn't eat grass, and they looked at Li Tieniu together. For a long time, Uncle Qiang still didn't come back to his senses, and asked curtly:
"What did you say?"
Li Tieniu flattened his thick lips again, and said angrily:
"You killed Ah Biao, destroyed the corpse, and then robbed my cattle."
Uncle Qiang laughed and laughed:
"Nonsense. Can I kill Ah Biao? If he doesn't kill me, Amitabha. ”
Li Tieniu ignored so much, his two thick and black lips suddenly opened as much as he could, and he howled dryly. Rao is Uncle Qiang has been in the wind for half his life, but he was still taken aback by the other party's move, and he couldn't help but take three steps back.
Uncle Qiang took three steps back, then took three steps forward, stretched out his hand to cover Li Tieniu's big mouth, and when his hand reached halfway, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he quickly retracted it, rubbed his waist, and complained repeatedly:
"What are you howling, what are you howling?"
Li Tieniu howled for a round, and then lay down on the ridge again, sprinkling and rolling, shouting as he rolled:
"Murder for money, murder for wealth, murder for wealth."
Uncle Qiang couldn't cry or laugh, and scolded incoherently:
"Ridiculous. Ridiculous. ”
Li Tieniu continued to pretend to cry. While rolling, he was full of firewood:
"No wonder your family is the richest, it turns out that this is how the money comes from. For the sake of a cow, kill a person, a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs. ”
Uncle Qiang was trembling with anger, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only repeat two words with a distorted voice:
"Ridiculous, ridiculous."
After speaking, I felt that I was not confident enough, and added:
"It's a bummer."
Speaking of this, his mouth began to slip, and a third sentence was added:
"You husband and wife are a virtuous character."
Li Tieniu didn't argue with him, let alone communicate with him, he just looked up to the sky and howled, howled a few times, took a breath, and Hu Chai for a while.
When it comes to the back, there are no sentences, and the mouths are full of syllables such as "seeking money, killing people, killing people, wolf hearts, and dog lungs".
In addition to Li Tieniu's martial arts skills when he fought with Brother Biao, he howled and his voice was incomparable. The sound is so high in decibels that it can be said to be unique in the whole village.
So, so noisy, the villagers who were doing farm work in the fields near and far all gathered around out of curiosity.
The villagers are relatively simple, or they can be said to be stupid, their brains are not very good at turning, and they basically have no ability to see the essence through phenomena.
As soon as they arrived, they didn't know what was going on, but they all knew the cow of Brother Biao's family, and this cow was inexplicably in the hands of Uncle Qiang, the old village chief, and the emotional balance in the hearts of these people was biased towards Li Tieniu.
Sometimes, "seeing is believing" is also a hurtful statement.
In addition, seeing Li Tieniu screaming so much, the world was miserable, and the wind and clouds changed color, the villagers basically believed that the old village chief really had a bad plan, so they began to talk about it:
"Wouldn't it? Occupy other people's cattle? The old village chief doesn't look like this kind of person, huh? ”
The use of suspicious statements and the absence of any mention of "homicide" is actually more unbearable than a court conviction. Poor Uncle Qiang, the old village chief, wanted to cry without tears, and he didn't know where to start.
Fortunately, among the onlookers, there are the current village chiefs. At the critical moment, the current village chief stepped forward.
The current village head's surname is Jia. It is said that there are more than 100 households in this village, and there are only two surnames: Zhen and Jia. It was first bred by two families, and the name of the village was "Zhenjia Village".
The two families have developed to this day, belonging to the same Zhenjia Village, although it cannot be said that they do not share the sky, but there have always been large and small contradictions.
There is not much to say about the conflict between these two families. That's another story.
The current village head, surnamed Jia Mingming. When I first took office a few years ago, the villagers shouted after their butts:
"Village Chief Jia."
It sounded like a "fake village chief", so Jia Ming was very upset, turned his head and yelled at people:
"your grandma, I'm the real village chief. The family has a letter of appointment from the township government. ”
After yelling, I thought about it, but I also reacted, I can't blame others for this misunderstanding, but I can only blame my own surname. Then his face changed again, and he changed his tone and said:
"It's better to call the village chief directly, it looks kind."
It can be seen that Jia Ming's bad temper is a little worse, but he is more or less a person with a clear brain.
This time, Jia Ming stood up and behaved a little calmer and more sober than the other villagers. At least he is not like others, who sees the ox rope in someone's hand and thinks that someone is plotting evil.
Village Chief Jia walked up to Li Tieniu first, kicked her big ass hard, and ordered:
"Get up, howl what? Mourning? Call mourning, wait for Brother Biao to die, and then call again. ”
Since it was the current village chief who came forward, Li Tieniu immediately silenced, and got up from the ground with a bone, smeared a handful of snot on Jia Ming's sleeve, and pleaded with a crying voice:
"Fake village chief, no, no, real village chief, you have to be my master."
Jia Ming glanced at his sleeve, he was wiped with a large piece of snot, thick and greasy, and couldn't help but feel nauseous, but because of the large number of onlookers, he couldn't help but have a seizure, bent down and grabbed a handful of grass on the ridge, and asked the old village chief Zhen Qiang while wiping his sleeves:
"Brother Qiang, what's going on? How did you lead someone's cow? ”
The men, women and children of the whole village all call the old village chief "Uncle Qiang", only the current village head Jia Ming still calls him "Brother Qiang", although Jia Ming is more than 20 years younger than others, and the other party is more than enough to be his old son or uncle.
Uncle Qiang, full of grievances, drove the cattle to his house early in the morning and sold them to him for 2,000 yuan.
After speaking, the onlookers were skeptical, thinking that this matter was too incredible, the key is that Brother Biao is nowhere to be seen, there is no witness, and Niu can't speak. How can people believe your word for it?
But Jia Ming, the current head of the village, fully believes in the authenticity of this story. After all, he is capable of being the village chief, and his brain is not comparable to ordinary people, and he knows very well what kind of goods Brother Biao in the village is; He knows better what kind of character Brother Qiang is in front of him.
If you want to say that Brother Qiang is greedy for small gains behind people's backs, he used to pretend to be public and private, use power to rectify people, and then put on a moral face, that is definitely there. But in broad daylight, it is absolutely impossible to forcibly occupy other people's cattle.
As for the murder, it's basically nonsense. Can an old man in his sixties kill a young man in his early twenties without a trace? And then swaggering on the ridge with the deceased's ox?
He Jia Ming's brain is not burned, how can he believe this nonsense?
At this point, Jia Ming should have come forward, explained a few words casually, and ordered everyone to disperse.
The bad thing is that before Jia Ming became the village head, he had suffered the loss of Brother Qiang. After a little pondering this time, I knew that the opportunity for the communiqué's personal vendetta had come.
Village Chief Jia took a step forward, patted the cow on the back, and said to himself:
"This cow is worth 800 yuan at most, right?"
Uncle Qiang nodded involuntarily. There were also a few people next to him who chimed in.
Village Chief Jia asked Uncle Qiang again:
"Brother Qiang, you are a unique person in the village, how can you pay 2,000 yuan to buy a cow worth only 800 yuan?"
There were a few fools next to him who immediately and spontaneously became echo worms:
"yes, how is that possible?"
These people are estimated to have been rectified by Uncle Qiang before.
Uncle Qiang was stunned for a moment, then grinned and wanted to cry, wanting to argue a few words, but before he could say anything, he reacted again, knowing that the head in front of him was deliberately making things difficult for him. Nothing more is to no avail.
Uncle Qiang is a big man who has seen the world in the end, and after a little turn of thought, he immediately smiled and said:
"Just kidding. In fact, this is the case, Ah Biao was herding cattle here in the morning, and I happened to be passing by, and he said that he had something to do, so he asked me to help watch it for a while, but I didn't expect to watch it all day and didn't come back. ”
Village Chief Jia smiled gloomily and said:
"You've been watching it all day, and you're angry, so make up a story to scare his mother-in-law, right?"
Uncle Qiang nodded like pounding garlic:
"Yes, yes, yes. That's it. ”
Village Chief Jia smiled knowingly, walked over and punched Li Tieniu's fat ass, opened his five fingers and grabbed a handful, and ordered:
"Take the cow back. The old village chief showed you a cow for a day, and you should know how to be grateful and send him two sweet potatoes in the evening. ”
Then he turned and yelled at the villagers:
"It's all gone."
Uncle Qiang returned home depressed, dropped three bowls, still couldn't calm his anger, and closed the door and scolded three times:
"I'll fuck your grandma."
Then he confided his grievances to God:
"For two thousand yuan, just buy two sweet potatoes, is there any reason?"
A few years later, the youngest daughter of the old village chief Uncle Qiang recruited a son-in-law and gave birth to a fat boy, Uncle Qiang walked around the alley with his grandson every day, and his idle egg hurt, so he looked at the babbling grandson and commented on the characters in the village:
"Jamin is a smart badass."
Li Tieniu seems to be stupid, but he is actually shrewd. It's a pity that the appearance is too low, otherwise I would be able to mix with a women's director. ”
"This Ah Biao, I used to really look away. If he was born in troubled times, he would definitely be a bandit. ”
What Uncle Qiang didn't know was that Brother Biao was in Fenglin Town at this time, telling stories to the younger brothers he knew and didn't know, and the beginning was like this:
"Brother, when I was in Quanzhou. ……”
