Chapter 21: Murder by mistake
Aunt Wang was taken aback by her son's words, and said anxiously: "That's illegal, don't get involved!" ”
"But at this time, the Ye family can still eat snail noodles and luncheon meat, Mom, don't you think they are too much? Knowing that there is a problem with the flue in the community, they cook at home, and others must be able to smell it, and they cook something with such a strong smell. ”
"I guess I want to deliberately slash the gang at the door."
Lin Xu said: "I still think they are very hateful, we haven't even drunk a sip of hot water since the natural gas stopped, have they ever thought of helping us?" Even if it's just to send hot water, but nothing, the snow has been falling for so long, and their family only cares about themselves! ”
"Hey, that's understandable," Aunt Wang sighed, "we can't morally kidnap others......"
Lin Xu was jealous in his heart, and said righteously: "This is not a moral kidnapping!" I think we should help each other through this kind of crisis together, but they don't save us neighbors, it's a bit inhumane. ”
As soon as he said this, there was a sudden "bang" sound at the door of his house, which frightened him.
What Lin Xu and his mother didn't expect was that the group with kitchen knives actually ran to his door and began to cut down the door without saying a word.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xu was frightened, his voice was flustered and frightened, "I don't have anything to eat at home, it's useless for you to break in." ”
The people outside knocked on the door and said, "If you have anything to eat, we'll know when we come in." ”
"I really haven't eaten at home, I thought the snow would stop soon, I only bought a box of instant noodles, and I've already eaten it, really!"
The sound of slamming the door did not stop at all, Lin Xu was so anxious that he was about to cry, "Brother, big brother, don't cut it, or I'll open the door and let you in, you can come in and see the situation in my house." ”
The person who was cutting the door was Zhang Chengtao.
When he heard this, he stopped the kitchen knife in his hand, "Okay, then you open the door and let us in, so that we don't waste our strength." ”
Lin Xu hurriedly turned his head and glanced at his mother, who understood, picked up the half box of instant noodles in the middle of the shelf, and quickly hid it under the bed in the bedroom.
At the same time, Lin Xu took the initiative to open the door, "Big brothers and sisters, I just told my mother that I wanted to join you, my family really didn't have anything to eat, there was only a pack of instant noodles left, and my mother and I were not willing to eat it, and we only dared to eat a small piece every day." ”
The crowd didn't bother to pay attention to him, so they went through the boxes and cabinets and found a bottle of chili sauce, a frozen eggplant, and half a bag of frozen chicken wings from the refrigerator.
There were about two catties of rice left in the rice bucket, and there were ten catties of unopened rice on the ground next to it.
"Still saying you haven't eaten?" The man rummaging through the food asked, "Aren't these rice eaten?" ”
Lin Xu had a cry in his voice, "After the natural gas is cut off, there is no way to make a fire, these things can't be eaten." ”
"Stupid! If you burn your table and chairs as firewood, won't you be able to cook a pot of chicken wing porridge? Xie Hong said.
At this time, someone pointed to the old desk in front of the window and shouted, "That table is very good for firewood." ”
Aunt Wang wanted to swallow her anger, but when she saw that they wanted to burn the desk that she and her husband had worked hard to buy in the first year of marriage, she was instantly furious.
This desk is just an old table for others, but it is the most precious memory for her.
"This is my home! You dare to mess with my things, I ......"
She rushed into the kitchen, picked up a fruit knife on the knife stand, and said to Zhang Chengtao, who took the lead in cutting the door before: "I will die with you!" ”
"You put the knife down, don't go crazy," Zhang Chengtao saw that Aunt Wang's emotions were out of control, and hurriedly grabbed the kitchen knife he had just put down, "Otherwise, I will not be polite to you." ”
"Get out! Get out of here! Wanting the gang of robbers who broke into her house to get out, Aunt Wang began to wave her knife indiscriminately, "Get out, do you hear it, get out of my house......"
Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.
Aunt Wang's neck was in severe pain, and a fishy sweet blood in her throat filled her mouth.
She wanted to finish "go", but a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she fell to the ground holding her neck.
Everyone was dumbfounded, Zhang Chengtao was caught off guard and splashed with blood, trembling with a kitchen knife, and defended: "Yes, she rushed over by herself, I wanted to knock off the knife in her hand, but I didn't expect ......"
"Mom!" Lin Xu's pupils contracted violently, and he hurriedly rushed forward and hugged his mother tightly, covering her bleeding wound with his hand.
"Mom, you'll be fine, I'll take you to the hospital, we'll go to the hospital," Lin Xu cried bitterly, "I promised to take annual leave next month to take you to climb Huangshan Mountain to watch the sunrise, haven't you always wanted to go?" You hold on! Mom......"
His mother opened her mouth with difficulty, didn't say anything, and her pupils began to dilate.
In the middle of the night, someone around whispered: "Is she dead?" Zhang Chengtao killed her? ”
"It's not me, I didn't, she bumped into it herself, and it has nothing to do with me." Zhang Chengtao didn't expect that he would kill someone by mistake, and his heart was full of fear and guilt.
Xie Hong lifted the rice on the ground, "Don't be stunned, we will all starve to death in two days if we don't eat, quickly move the table and find a place to cook the rice into porridge." ”
Everyone came to their senses and began to move things, as long as they could be used as firewood, they all moved away.
When Lin Xu gradually calmed down from the grief of his mother's death, he found that the cabinets, wardrobes, coffee tables, tables, chairs, bed boards, cutting boards, chopsticks, kitchen knives, seasonings, rice, bacon, and half a box of instant noodles hidden under the bed by his mother had all been emptied.
Realizing that he had nothing to eat and would definitely starve to death within three days, he felt like he had been splashed with a bucket of ice water, and he was completely cold from head to toe.
Putting down the body of his mother in his arms, he thought quickly and looked at the Ye family next door.
"Help......
Lin Xu was covered in blood, walked next door and kept knocking on the door, "Teacher Ye, Aunt Wan, help...... Help my mom, help ......"
In the house, everyone had finished lunch, Pei Xian was in charge of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and washing the dishes, and Ye Siyi was wiping the table on the side.
"Huh? Is someone knocking on the door? Ye Siyi stopped what he was doing, pricked up his ears and looked in the direction of the door, "It sounds like Lin Xu?" ”
Lin Xu is the same age as him, and he has been a classmate in junior high school for two years, but the relationship has always been average, and after the high school entrance examination, the two went to different high schools in the city, and they rarely meet each other, so they have little intersection.
Ye Shaohua was sitting on the sofa, just about to review and analyze the reason why he lost to Pei Xian again this time, when he heard his son's words, he asked suspiciously: "Is he shouting for help?" ”
"I'll take a look!" Wanting to know what tricks Lin Xu played, Sang Ning got up and walked to the door first.
This more than 20,000 doors are equipped with invisible surveillance cameras, as long as you open the screen button inside the door, you can see the situation outside the door, and the picture quality is very high-definition.
Although she was mentally prepared, when she saw that Lin Xu's face, hands, and clothes were full of blood, Sang Ning was still quite surprised, "What's wrong with Aunt Wang?" ”
"Downstairs, the guy surnamed Zhang downstairs is the one who opened a mobile phone repair shop at the front door of No. 2 Middle School, and he slashed my mother with a kitchen knife......"
"What?" Wan Jiafeng hurriedly walked to the door, "Xiao Xu, your mother was cut by that Zhang Chengtao?" Does it matter if she wants to? Where's the injury? ”
Lin Xu cried bitterly and said, "I hurt my neck, Aunt Wan, what should I do?" My mother bleed a lot, I'm so scared, Aunt Wan, you worked as a nurse, you save her. ”
Wan Jiafeng once worked as a nurse in the hospital for seven years, and then resigned to open a clothing store, and in the past two years, business has not been good, her store is closed, and she is a full-time wife at home.
Although she had been a nurse for many years, after listening to Lin Xu's words at this moment, she subconsciously wanted to open the door to save people, "I'll go see ......"
Just as she was about to twist the doorknob, Pei Xian quickly stepped forward to stop her, "Auntie, you can't open the door." ”
