Chapter 40: Old Things (2)

The peaceful and peaceful days were shattered on the 15th day of the second lunar month in 1998.

Just after 10 o'clock, the door of the house was slammed. Bai Yuyang, who was ready to go to bed, hurriedly put on his clothes and went to open the door.

The man outside the door was the village chief, and the dim yellow light of the incandescent lamp reflected his face in a stern and terrifying light.

"Teacher Bai, it's not good, something happened!" The village chief shouted anxiously as soon as he saw him.

Bai Yuyang's heart skipped a beat, but he still tried to pretend to be calm: "What's wrong?" Who had an accident? ”

The village chief looked at him with some sadness, and swallowed with difficulty: "In the flower temple...... It seems like...... It's like a dead man......"

"What did you say!" Hearing the two words he said, Bai Yuyang could no longer calm down, his heart pounded wildly, and the sound sounded as if it was vibrating in his ears.

Bai Yuyang was about to rush out with an arrow step, but was stopped by the village chief: "No...... Not Jasmine......"

"What's going on, tell me about it!" Bai Yuyang couldn't wait to pick him up and pour out all the words in his stomach like an inverted pocket.

"The deceased seems to be the youngest son of the Li village chief of Dongbaozhuang, who appeared in the Flower God Temple tonight for some reason and was burned to death...... It looks like your jasmine ......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Bai Yuyang interrupted him sharply.

"She's alone in the Temple of Flowers tonight...... I heard that she was covered in blood. Didn't Li Ergui live next to that temple, he saw her run out of it with his own eyes! The village chief finally made his words clear.

"Where is she now?" Bai Yuyang was already so anxious that he was about to burst into flames, and grabbed the village chief's arm.

"She is now being caught and locked up in the ancestral hall by the villagers of Dongbaozhuang, and they let me ......"

Before the village chief could finish speaking, Bai Yuyang had already rushed out, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

But he walked in too much hurry, and he didn't expect to take a flashlight, so he fell several times on the ridge, and his hands and feet were rubbed by the stones on the dirt road, and he stumbled and stumbled, but he couldn't stop, so he could only grope his way forward.

When he stepped back into the light, people saw a man with the same bloody face, Bai Yuyang like a mad demon on a night when there had been a terrible murder.

He begged the guards to let him see his daughters, and even knelt down and hugged their legs and pleaded bitterly, which made the people who saw it sad and those who heard it wept. But the parents of the deceased were also present, and their mourning was obviously more powerful, and the parents who lost their children had the right to go mad, curse, blame, and judge the culprits.

They cut off his last hope, and he never saw Jasmine again.

The police arrived quickly, and for such a case with complete human and material evidence, it seemed so easy to conclude the case.

Jasmine was chosen as the lady-in-waiting of the flower god that year, keeping vigil at the temple of the flower god. But in fact, the maids of the god of flowers over the years will not spend the night in the temple of the god of flowers, let alone a teenage girl, and there are few boys who dare to spend the night alone in a strange place. But Jasmine, a silly child, is surprisingly stubborn in this matter, and doesn't even let anyone stay with her.

As soon as he thought of this, Bai Yuyang regretfully wanted to travel back in time to wake up his self at that time.

Li Youlin, the son of Dongbaozhuang, didn't know whether it was a temporary intention or a premeditated plan, and with the wanton carnival during the day and the stimulation of alcohol at night, he blatantly smashed the lock on the temple door and broke into here. Relying on his family background, this person has always been lawless, not only rampant and domineering in his own village, but also the young people in several surrounding villages are also like stars and moons.

During the altercation, Jasmine smashed him with a copper candlestick on the desk, stabbed him with the needles of the candlestick, and finally lit his clothes with a candle in an attempt to burn him to death. If it weren't for the fact that there were villagers living near the Flower Temple, who heard the movement here, saw the fire, and put out the fire in time, maybe the entire Flower Temple would have been burned down.

"It was just an accident! She didn't mean to! She didn't want that either! Bai Yuyang hated Li Youlin in his heart, but he had to come to Li's house to apologize in a low voice.

He fell to his knees and let the vicious words and fists and kicks of the world unimaginably come upon him.

"He's innocent, and it's clear that my Jasmine is the victim!" He shouted desperately in his heart, but the words that came out were: "I am willing to compensate, I have money." ”

"What do you say? Do you have money? Who do you look down on? When Father Li heard his words, the anger that had subsided slightly was instantly ignited again, and he kicked him out of his house: "Don't you know who I am?" My eldest son-in-law is the county secretary, and the second son-in-law is the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. How much money is there to buy my son's life back! ”

"Paying off debts, killing people to pay for their lives, it's justified!"

He couldn't stay in school anymore, and more importantly, he was about to lose his daughter.

When the court pronounced the verdict, almost the whole village went, and they surrounded the small courtroom, and they couldn't stand in the courtroom, so they stood outside, squeezing Bai Yuyang so that he could only stand in the outermost circle, he stretched his neck to look, but he could only see strange black heads. This barrier separated them alive, even if she was less than ten meters away, even if he was silently calling behind him.

Bai Yuyang was surrounded by this group of people, and he was almost unable to breathe, so he had to retreat from it.

He dragged his tired body and walked away step by step, like a lonely ghost. He didn't dare to listen any further, and closed his ears, as if as long as he hadn't heard the judge's verdict with his own ears, the hammer would never strike, the boots would never hit the ground, time would stand still, and the end would never come.

But later, he still knew the end of the story.

The two teenage boys, one by one, held the girl's hands behind her, so that she could not straighten up and raise her head, and was at their mercy.

This is the posture of judging sinners, and this is what they see in the courtroom. Those tall and mighty bailiffs with loaded guns and uniforms are the dreams of the little boys.

"Say! Did you seduce Old Man Chen in the west of the village? The boy on the left deliberately lowered his voice, trying to make an irresistibly majestic voice.

"Did you kill the cripple Li from the next village?" The other did the same, righteous and strict, and once again exerted force in his hand, and the girl's head unconsciously lowered by three points.

"How many times have you slept with him? Where are they? ”

"Why did you stab him?"

"Fool!"

"Fool!"

"Fool! Sentence you to death! ”

"Fool! Sentence you to death! Execute it now! ”

If the mass of qi and blood blocked in the heart can't be spit out, I'm afraid that I will die on the spot in the next second!

He stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and opened his bow from side to side, giving each of the two boys a slap in the face. This strength exhausted the strength of his whole body, and he instantly paralyzed his whole body, and the boys fell to the ground, only daring to look at this amiable teacher in horror and blankness.

The girl on the side had tears and snot on her face, embarrassed like a kitten that had been wandering for a long time, and what he was looking for was a puppy with only one person in his eyes.

I struggle, I suffer, I hate, I live.
