A dry hand grabbed Zhang Zhao's sleeve and grasped it so tightly, a middle-aged man's thin face, his eyes were wide open, his breathing was short, and he said repeatedly, "Baby, don't, don't, live, just live..."

Unfortunately, the voice was getting lower and lower, until at last there was no more sound, and the hand that was holding the sleeve slowly loosened and slid weakly onto the sheets.

After a long time, Zhang Zhao stretched out his left hand and covered the old father's eyelids, the pupils on the cloudy eyeballs had dilated, and it was obvious that the old father had just left.

Zhang Zhao's house was very quiet, except for his movements, there was no other sound.

The old father had just passed away, but Zhang Zhao didn't cry, his eyes were more impatient and hidden in the deepest pain.

He took a deep breath, got up from his chair, and walked a few steps to a wooden niche.

On the simple wooden niche, there is a black and white photograph and an incense burner, and a small urn, on which there is also a photo, but much younger.

There are two women in the photo, looking very similar, one middle-aged and the other young, the middle-aged looks hardworking and housekeeping, and the young looks young and lovely, both of them seem to be smiling at the person in front of them.

Zhang Zhao took out a few incense sticks and lit them, and inserted them in the incense burner in front of the photo, the incense slowly rose, and the portraits in the photo became blurry.

"Mom, sister, Dad has left just now, looking for you, this home is gone, I hope you can have a good reunion on the other side. Soon, I will come to you too, and I hope that when the time comes, we will be together forever in peace. ”

After Zhang Zhao finished saying these words, he opened the closed door, and the noisy sound poured into the cold room at once.

The winter sun is warm, shining on people as if there are endless whispers, crackling firecrackers and laughter of adults and children everywhere.

Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve of 2000, and the time is noon, which is also the first Spring Festival for people to enter the new millennium, a day for the whole country to celebrate and reunite with families.

Zhang Zhao didn't go out, but opened the curtains a little, and a pair of cold eyes observed the street at the door through the window on the second floor, and a group of people came out of the neighbor's house, calling each other to get into a few Santana cars. Someone raised his head and glanced in Zhang Zhao's direction a few times, not knowing what he said, which immediately attracted laughter from everyone.

The group drove away, and the street was quiet again.

Zhang Zhao quietly watched as several cars disappeared at the fork in the road at the end of the road, which was the road to Siyu Mountain, where the ancestral graves of many families in the town were buried. Zhang Zhao's mother was also buried deep in the Siyu Mountains, and Chinese New Year's Eve was also a local day to worship ancestors.

The sun at noon was a little dazzling, especially in the land of Xiqin, it didn't look high, but it was unexpectedly bright, so that Zhang Zhao's eyes were dizzy, and his thoughts flew to the summer 12 years ago, it seemed that the sun was so bright at that time, but it didn't warm people's hearts.

It was also noon that day, and 13-year-old Zhang Zhao was taken by his 18-year-old sister to do summer homework at home, and he heard several noises outside, and the sound became louder and louder.

"It's Mom's voice! Mom is arguing with the Li family next door again!" My sister reacted first, and immediately got up and rushed out, Zhang Zhao was still relatively thin at that time, and his reaction was a little slower, but he also followed his sister and ran out.

As soon as I arrived in the yard, I saw my father, who had been doing pigweed, limping towards the gate with his disabled right leg.

"Female, you go ahead and persuade your mother to stop, the Li family is the village head, and the eldest son is working in the township government, we can't screw others, eat some losses, don't make a fuss." ”

"Hmm~" My sister agreed, and she didn't stop when she passed by her father, and rushed out of the gate.

Zhang Zhao slowed down instead, reached out and wrapped his father's waist, wrapped his father's right arm around his neck, and put it on his right shoulder, "Great, let's go out together." ”

"Okay~"

As soon as the father and son stepped out of the door, they heard the sister's voice from the corner of the house wall not far away, "Mom!"

The father and son were anxious, afraid that something would happen again, so they didn't care much, so they accelerated the speed of their journey. As soon as I came seven or eight meters away, I saw my mother-in-law fall to the ground, I don't know, my sister threw herself on her mother-in-law and cried, and there was a wooden stick scattered at her feet, and there were some blood stains at one end of the wooden stick.

Zhang Zhao's father is a well-known carpenter, many people come to him to make furniture, the living conditions at home are more acceptable than other people's families, and there is naturally no shortage of wood in the courtyard, but I don't know when my mother took one in her hand.

"It was she who beat me first, and my second brother beat her! By the way, she also spit on me first!" said the third child of the Li family, covering his head, bleeding from his forehead, pointing to the wood on the ground. His second brother was standing beside his brother, carefully examining the wound on his brother's head, and said nothing.

The Li family is the village head, and the eldest in the family works in the township government, and the Li family speaks in the village, which no one dares to object, and no one squeaks when the third child of the Li family says this.

My mother-in-law was lying on the ground, everyone was watching, and she didn't come forward to help, which was really chilling.

The father didn't have time to distinguish between right and wrong, saving his mother-in-law's life was the most important thing, and immediately pulled up the crying sister, "Baby, and your sister get the cart in the yard to pull the material, and quickly send your mother to the township clinic to let the doctor take a look, but don't do anything." ”

"Yes, it's the right thing to get to the hospital as soon as possible!"

"Our family's Zhengjun also has to take a look, this scalp has been broken, if there is really something, the Li family and you are not finished!"

The crowd of onlookers also began to help.

The village and the township are very close, the cool skin in the township is a must, known as the hometown of the cool skin, basically every household will do it, cheap and delicious, it is the time to go to the whole country. Many farmers at home put down their farm work, put on the steamer of their hometown, and went to major cities across the country to start a streetside cool skin business, making a lot of money. After making money, it is naturally easy to build roads, so the traffic in this township is also convenient.

The village is less than three miles away from the township clinic, and the cart carrying Zhang Zhao's mother soon arrived at the clinic's entrance. But unfortunately, the doctor rolled his eyelids directly and said that the person was dead and could not be saved.

Zhang Zhao remembered that his mind was confused at that time, and many things were told by others to do it by himself, and he did it by himself, otherwise he would have stayed where he was, not even moving.

When someone died, Zhang Zhao's father naturally couldn't give up, and immediately called the police, and when the police came, they also brought a forensic doctor, and at this time, the door of the township clinic was already crowded.

Zhang Zhao still remembers that the expressionless forensic doctor cut his mother's scalp in front of himself and his sister. Mom's hair was not shaved, and her scalp was peeled off and hung over her eyes.

Zhang Zhao was already frightened at that time, and he didn't know that he was blindfolded, and what he saw in front of him was a bright red human head.

The forensic doctor sawed his mother's skull with a small saw, just like his father's usual sawing wood, Zhang Zhao knew for the first time that there was no difference between people and wood.

For the next week, Zhang Zhao's head was full of wood, and when he closed his eyes, he was full of his mother's miserable appearance.

That night, the head of the Li family, that is, the village chief, came and found Zhang Zhao's father, but he didn't know what he said, and then the two families went to court.

It's very strange that Zhang Zhao heard the third child of the Li family say that it was his second brother who beat his mother, but in the court, it became himself. Because the third child of the Li family is four years older than himself, he is still a minor, although he was convicted of intentional injury causing death, but he was only sentenced to seven years.

Doesn't a juvenile murder need to die? Zhang Zhao always had this question in his mind, he looked at the huge badge on the top of the courtroom, what did the balance on it mean? Is it fairness and justice? If it is fair to the murderer, then where is the justice I want?

At the same time, the court also ruled that the Li family was responsible for the funeral of Zhang Zhao's mother, but because the third child of the Li family was a minor and "the murderer was a minor and had no ability to compensate", the Li family was sentenced to pay the Zhang family a total of 5,639.3 yuan, of which 4,539.3 yuan was funeral expenses.

The family also spent 700 yuan on the burial of the mother, which means that the mother's life was only exchanged for the 7-year prison and 400 yuan for the third child of the Li family.

Zhang Zhao didn't know what was going on, he only knew that the disabled old father was crying at home and kept saying, "This is different from what they said at the beginning, it's different!"

But what happened next made Zhang Zhao feel that there was heavenly reason.

The third elder of the Li family only came out after only three years in prison, and wandered around the village unscrupulously all day long.

The Zhang family doesn't know what medical parole is, but they feel that this breath is difficult to swallow, what kind of fairness is this?!

Zhang Zhao remembered that his sister, who was a 21-year-old junior in college, suddenly said, "They deceived my family and gave up the appeal, and we endured it, but the third murderer of the Li family can't just stay for three years, no! I want to study law! I want to be a lawyer!"

The old father sighed at the dinner table and whispered, "It's all my uselessness, it's all my uselessness..."

My sister really worked hard to study law all over again, and Zhang Zhao was conscripted into the army to serve in Western Xinjiang because of his poor academic performance as an adult.

"Zhaowa, we didn't understand the law back then, and we were deceived by the Li family, so we simply gave up the right to appeal. This case has been closed, and it is impossible to sentence it again, so I can only choose other methods, sister. His old Li family covered the sky in the village, and the eldest son went to the county again, I don't believe that his family is so innocent. The village has been retained for so many years, and the various funds allocated by the county and township, but his old Li family has not handed it over. Don't talk about this for now, wait until I pass the national judicial examination, find a law firm for an internship and obtain a lawyer's qualification certificate, and then find their old Li family to settle the general account. ”

"Sister, be careful, none of the three sons of the Lao Li family are good at stubble. Zhang Zhao returned home from service, and instead of learning carpenter's trade from his father, he went out to work. Receiving a call from his sister outside, he didn't know what was going on, so he could only silently wish his sister all the best in his heart.

It is difficult to work outside, full of deception and traps, in just over a year, less than two years, Zhang Zhao was deceived by an intermediary to find a job, and was also deceived into a pyramid scheme.

Until one day, his father called and said that his sister had died, and Zhang Zhao was stupid.

hurriedly returned home, and Zhang Zhao was greeted by a small urn containing his sister who used to love him.

According to my father, my sister had successfully completed her studies, passed the national judicial examination, and contacted a law firm to prepare for an internship. When he went home to visit his father, he was accidentally hit by a pickup truck and died on the spot, and the driver was drunk driving and had been arrested.

Zhang Zhao's spine was hairy, and his intuition told him that his sister's death might not be so simple.

Soon, the compensation for the car accident came down, 50,000 yuan, and the driver's family was not ambiguous and quickly sent the money over.

The accidental death of his daughter caused his father's body to collapse at once, and Zhang Zhao could only stay with his father to take care of him.

Zhang Zhao chose forbearance, sometimes he could only see more things by lowering his head, and in four years, some things were clear.

The driver who caused the accident was sentenced to two years because of active compensation, and then went directly to the county to do business, and often received government orders.

It turns out that the Li family has been staring at the Zhang family...

My sister's study of law and taking the lawyer exam must have been known to them, and there was something later.

Good~good~

After his father found out about this, he didn't say anything, but just asked Zhang Zhao to stay by his side all day long, unwilling to let him go, but his body was getting worse and worse.

Similarly, Zhang Zhao can only bury his mind deep in his heart, he stays at home all day with his father, who is depleting his body, engages in some chicken and rabbit breeding to get some income for the family, and also goes out from time to time to do some scattered farm work to subsidize the family, this time, it is another two years.

The Zhang family has gone through so many things, and his father's health is poor, so it is no longer the small courtyard full of laughter and laughter before.

I can't afford expensive medicine, I can only rely on simple Chinese herbal medicine to support, and the iron-beaten man also has a time when the oil runs out of lamps, until today, my father is finally gone, however, the Li family next door does not know.

Zhang Zhao didn't plan to bury his father at the funeral, if he is not filial, he will not be filial, he has been holding this breath for 12 years, and it is time to release.

The horn of the car sounded outside the window again, which pulled Zhang Zhao's thoughts back, and it turned out that the ancestor next door had returned.

Looking at the somewhat westerly sun in the sky, Zhang Zhao stood up silently, took out a hat and a mask, and put it on. A dagger was hidden in the cuff of his right hand, and he lifted the plastic bucket that had been placed on the side of the table, and the transparent liquid shook in the barrel.
