Chapter 276: Old Things
"Shhhhh ”
After hearing Xiaodou's complaints, Shanhe first admonished, and then replied:
"Well, something might have happened again. Wait and see, we're not in a hurry anyway. ”
After speaking, seeing that the competition would take a while to start, Shanhe simply chatted with Xiaodou again:
"By the way, classmate Dou Xiaoqin, I often heard you talk about your grandfather before, but I never mentioned your parents, where did they go?"
Hearing this topic, Qin Xiaodou's mood was obviously a lot lower, he lowered his head and looked at the ground, bit his lip and replied:
"They're all gone. ”
"Huh, no, it's gone?" Shanhe was surprised.
"Yes, they died eighteen years ago, when I was just over three years old. ”
Knowing that Xiaodou had no parents at such a young age, Shanhe hurriedly apologized, and soon heard Xiaodou shake his head and reply:
"It's okay, it's been so long, I'm not sad for a long time. Although I have no parents, I have a grandfather who loves me very much, and I am content. Besides, with your help, I also avenged my parents with my own hands, I really have nothing to regret!"
"Revenge, revenge?" After hearing this, Shanhe showed a confused look: "When did I help you take revenge?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiaodou replied with a touch of apology:
"We didn't know each other very well, so I didn't tell you about it. In fact, eighteen years ago, it was the green-maned beast that killed my parents. ”
"The green-maned beast?" Shanhe squinted at those small eyes and recalled, "You mean the green-maned beast hiding on the outskirts of the green pines?
"That's right! That's it!" Hearing Shanhe mention this beast, Qin Xiaodou immediately clenched his little fist and said with an angry face:
"My parents went to deliver food to a family in the neighborhood, but on the way back, they met the brute......
Hearing this, Shanhe nodded in a sudden sense of understanding, he finally understood why Qin Xiaodou hated that green-maned beast to the core.
It turned out that not only did it hurt Xiaodou's grandfather, but even her parents died at its hands.
It's no wonder that Xiaodou would use an iron pot and a knife to find the green-maned beast desperately, and when he heard that he couldn't bear to do it afterwards, he was so angry! After hearing the reason for this, Shanhe finally understood everything.
"I see...... Alas, if I had known this, I should not have relented!"
After a sigh, Shanhe wanted to comfort Xiaodou a few more words. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was not right, so he turned his head sideways and asked again:
"Oh, that's not right, Xiaodou. If both of your parents were killed by it, how do you know that it was the hand of the blue-maned beast?
"Oh, that's what you said...... Xiaodou shook his head and denied it, "It's true that the scar is a basis, but it alone is not enough to determine that the murderer is a green-maned beast." ”
"And how do you know for sure?"
"Human witness!"
"Ah, there are still witnesses?" said Shanhe in surprise.
"That's right! And you still know this person!"
"I know?"
The boss who stared at Shanhe with both eyes, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't guess who the other party was referring to, so he asked, "Who is it?"
"He's ......" After a super big gasp, Xiaodou revealed the mystery: "Uncle Lu!"
"Huh?" Shanhe said in disbelief, "How, how could it be him?"
Afterwards, I listened to Qin Xiaodou talk about the situation that day.
On the day of the incident, Xiaodou's parents came back late because they were delayed on the way to deliver food, and it was already more than ten o'clock at night when they returned.
Due to its location in the suburbs, it is already sparsely populated, and it is late, not to mention people on this road, even vehicles are rarely encountered.
Qin's father pedaled a human-powered tricycle and drove Qin's mother home quickly.
But just halfway through, I saw a person lying not far from the roadside. Covered in blood, it seems that the injury is not light.
The kind-hearted Xiaodou's parents immediately stopped the car and put the unconscious middle-aged man on the tricycle, intending to send him to the hospital for treatment.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they lifted the man into the car, a terrifying howl came from the wilderness.
At this moment, not only did Qin's father and Qin's mother startle, but even the man sobered up on the spot.
After seeing that he had been rescued by the two farmers, he hurriedly said that they should run away and leave him alone.
Because the "beast" is coming at him, and he will definitely be injured by the burden with him.
However, Xiaodou's parents insisted on taking him away, did not abandon the injured man, and quickly pedaled the car forward.
As a result, in less than a minute, they were overtaken by a monster with a cyan mane.
In order to protect his wife and the injured, Qin's father took the lead in getting out of the car and started a fight with the blue-maned beast. But because the difference in strength was too far, he fell to the ground and lost his breath in two rounds.
Seeing this, Qin's mother was both angry and painful!
Although she was timid, driven by the anger of her husband, she also jumped out of the car and rushed towards the monster desperately. In the end, he also lost his life like Qin's father.
Seeing that the two life-saving benefactors died one after another, the middle-aged man lying in the car was also extremely indignant!
But because he was seriously injured, he couldn't even move at the moment, let alone offer to help. He could only watch the beast wreaking havoc, but he was helpless.
After injuring two lives, the greenmane's anger subsided considerably.
Glancing coldly at the man lying on the tricycle, perhaps out of a flash of kindness, or perhaps because it felt that it was no longer necessary, it did not kill the killer, but carried the corpses of the two houses on the ground and returned to the mountain, miraculously sparing the man's life......
"Oh, it turns out that your parents are here to save people......" After nodding with admiration, he listened to Shanhe turn around and asked, "What happened to the man who was rescued later?"
"Well, early the next morning, he was found by passers-by and taken to the hospital. After recovering from his injuries, he immediately found my grandfather and told us the bad news. Since then, he has come to visit me and my grandfather every week at home, and has given us a lot of financial support over the years. And this person is Uncle Lu. ”
Hearing this, Shanhe finally figured out why Lu Guozhong and Qin Xiaodou's family had such a close relationship.
It turned out that as early as eighteen years ago, Lu Guozhong, who was dying, was rescued by Qin Xiaodou's parents.
On the one hand, it is to repay the favor, and on the other hand, it is also to express the guilt in his heart.
So for so many years, he has always taken special care of the Qin family, the old and the young, almost responding to requests and never passing the buck.
After figuring out this, it didn't take long for Shanhe to open his mouth again:
"Xiaodou, did the director say why the green-maned beast chased him?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiaodou wrinkled her thin willow eyebrows, and said while thinking:
"Well, he seems to have said it, you let me think about it......"
