traces of all things

25 years ago.

Yujia Village, Dashui Township, poplar trail to the west of the village.

An old-fashioned permanent bicycle was polished, and it could be seen that the owner cared for it, driving briskly all the way towards the end of the road.

The rider is a very handsome young woman with fair complexion, big round eyes, pointed chin, hair neatly tied behind her head, wearing a very simple brown print clothes, although the clothes are gray Yes, but I can't hold back my face, and I still look quite outstanding in this remote mountain village.

There is a little boy in front of her car and a little boy in the back. The two little boys are almost a replica of herself, with red lips, white teeth, big eyes, tiger head and tiger brain, very cute.

The little boy sitting on the front bumper seemed a little more excited, poking his head, and muttering non-stop: "Brother, brother, brother, look, there seems to be mushrooms under the tree on the right!"

The little boy in the backseat was flushed, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. Hearing his younger brother chattering in front, he replied unhappily, "See, isn't it always there?"

"Really? I haven't seen—huh?"

The bicycle stopped abruptly, the little boy on the front bumper turned his head, opened his round eyes wide, and found a man in dark blue clothes suddenly appeared on the path in front of him, he looked serious and kept gesticulating They seemed to be talking to their mother.

…………

"...I saw that ugly cripple in the neighboring village, the daughter-in-law of Yu Shuisheng's family, was riding a bicycle on the poplar trail, and she was the only one in front and back. , I want to take advantage of such a good-looking wife."

"How did you get Cuiping to stop the bicycle?"

"My parents are both deaf and dumb. I learned sign language from them when I was young. I knew that Yu Shuisheng's wife was deaf, so I gave her sign language and told her that my child broke in the field and needed her help."

…………

Before the little boy on the front bumper could react, the uncle in dark blue suddenly jumped up with a ferocious expression, grabbed his mother by the hair, and dragged her off the bicycle.

Several strands of Cuiping's hair were pulled out, and she was dragged directly into the nearby wheat field and strangled her neck. She wailed in pain and kept whining.

The bicycle fell down with a bang, and the two wheels lost their support, idling on the ground.

There was no handhold on the front bumper, and the younger brother sitting there fell heavily on the ground, scratching a large piece of skin on his knee, but he didn't care about crying, seeing that his older brother had rushed over bravely, he hurriedly endured it. Pain got up from the ground to keep up.

"Let go of my mom!"

The elder brother, who was still sick just now, was like a firecracker at this time. He let out a loud yell, and rushed towards the man in the dark blue clothes. Li Wei simply hung on the man's arm, opened his mouth and took a bite at the wrist.

With such force, the sharp deciduous teeth pierced into the man's flesh, and his wrist became bloody in an instant. The other hand couldn't help but let go of the struggling Cuiping, touched the side, and picked it up A piece of red brick hit my brother's head.

A splatter of blood.

The child swayed for a while, and fell to the field with a "poof", his face was covered with blood, and he remained motionless.

All this happens in just a few seconds.

"elder brother!"

"what--!"

The child's scream and the woman's roar sounded at the same time. Cuiping's head was bleeding and her temple hair was disheveled. She looked like a crazy woman, she rushed forward with her youngest son with red eyes.

Perhaps it was the mother's love that stimulated the potential in her body. She was so thin that she didn't lose the wind when she was fighting. She even looked at the man's eyes and stretched out her fingernails to scratch it.

The man let out a scream of "Aw--", there was a long wound on his eyelid, and blood flowed into his eyes, making him look even more terrifying.

"Fucking bitch!" He threw away his younger brother who was scratching behind him vigorously, and pulled out a gleaming dagger from his waist with red eyes.

One, two, three...

When he stopped panting heavily, Cuiping had already collapsed in the wheat field in front of him, with blood gushing out from under her body, blood holes all over her body, her eyes were wide open unwillingly, as if she was complaining wearing something.

The man took two steps back, clutching the dagger tightly, gasping for breath, as if stunned by the scene in front of him.

Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something, turned around abruptly, and sure enough, he saw that the remaining boy had just crawled out of the field beside him with bloody hands, and when he saw him holding a dagger dripping with blood, he turned around immediately just run.

While running, he shouted loudly for help.

no!Can't let him get out!

At this time, the man was already red-eyed. The whole process of him killing the big and the young was seen by the remaining kid. If he was allowed to run out and attract the attention of others, it would be completely over!

In the blink of an eye, he had already picked up his dagger and ran away.

There was the whistling wind in his ears, and the sound of approaching footsteps behind him. The little boy was so frightened that he burst into tears, but he didn't dare to slow down at all. There was already a smell of blood in his throat.

Closer...closer...on the way!

Suddenly he felt a gust of cold wind on the back of his neck, and he couldn't help but subconsciously pounce, and saw the blood-dripping dagger in the man's hand behind him stuck into the soil, he broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly rolled and crawled before the man pounced Get up and run forward.

When he was about to set foot on the gravel path, maybe God heard his desperate cry for help, and a short man appeared in front of him!

"Help! Uncle, save us!" The little boy burst into tears of joy, and hurriedly called for help: "My mother and brother are behind..."

The man in front of him was taken aback when he saw the child covered in blood. When he looked up, he saw the man with the dagger struggling to get up.

"Come here quickly," the short uncle said to him, putting a hand in his pocket.

The little boy was overjoyed, with blood and tears on his face, he threw himself in front of the short man.

"Don't be afraid."

While talking, the short man stretched out his hand to embrace him, and took out his other hand from his pocket. He was holding something like a handkerchief in his hand, but suddenly, taking advantage of the little boy's inattention, he covered him. on the snout.

The little boy's round and clear eyes widened instantly, as if he couldn't believe it, he kicked his legs and struggled hard, but was defeated by the medicine, and within a few seconds he closed his eyes unwillingly, and fell limp to the ground.

…………

"What happened next? Who was that person?" Lu Zheng squeezed the water glass in front of him, his hands trembling slightly, his knuckles turned white, as if he was about to break the glass in a second.

Tang Shaoyuan glanced at him worriedly, fearing that he would hurt his fingers, he took the water glass out of his hand for him.

At this time, police officer Xiao Hu couldn't care less about Lu Zheng, who was acting as Yuezu's substitute, and squinted his eyes to stare at Yu Yong in front of him.

"That person...is Zhao Laizi from our village." Yu Yong trembled and said, "He told me not to panic, he would not report me, if I agreed to one condition, he would pretend he didn't read anything arrive."

"What conditions?"

"He wants the child who was fainted by his medicine." Yu Yong said: "Zhao Zizi is a flamboyant, and he thinks that the two boys in Yu Shuisheng's family are young, good-looking, and can sell for a lot of money. It’s just that the ones in the neighboring villages are easy to be found, so I haven’t done anything. I thought that the child is so young, and he probably won’t remember anything if he sells it far away, so I agreed to him. Zhao Laizi said that this The corpse was thrown here, and then the child who fainted was tied up, gagged and thrown in the field, and I went back to the village to get things to dispose of the corpse."

There is a distance from Yangshu Trail to Zhaojia Village. Cuiping's bicycle has a child seat, which is very obvious. The two dare not ride, so they secretly hide the bicycle, and walk all the way back to the village in secret, to Yu Yong's house. He took something like a sack, hemp rope, ax and the like, and returned to the scene of the crime.

"Where did you get the sack?"

"It belonged to Dai Xiangming, the dumb guy in our village. He dug a fishpond to raise fish, and sent a few to everyone in the village. They were packed in that sack, so I just took one and used it." Yu Yong recalled honestly. : "Then we went back to the field, and while it was getting dark, we chopped up the woman into several pieces and stuffed them into sacks."

"Why...chopped into several pieces?" Police Officer Xiao Hu carefully glanced at Lu Zheng who was beside him with a pale face, and asked boldly.

"Because it took a lot of time to go back and forth. When I returned to the field, I found that the woman's body was so hard that she couldn't fit it into the sack at all, so she had to split it open. After the split, there was too much blood, so we went back to the field. I lit the fire and burned it, anyway, the wheat field has just finished burning the straw, and after the burning, there will be no blood stains."

"What did you do next?"

"Then we packed the bag, and we were about to deal with the child who was shot to death by me at first, and found that the child who was fainted by the drug woke up at some point, sitting in a large pool of blood, his eyes were fixed, hum He didn't even snort. I saw his two big eyeballs were black and piercing, so Cripple Zhao knocked him out again."

"What about the one who was 'slapped to death' at the beginning?" Lu Zheng asked.

As the well-known target who should have been "shot to death", when he said this, everyone felt a little out of harmony, but they were indeed curious and puzzled, and they all pricked up their ears.

Yu Yong raised his head and looked at Lu Zheng's face, his face was blue and white: "I wanted to put that child in the bag with his mother, but when I walked up to him, I found that the child was still venting, so I wanted to Add an axe, Zhao Zizi is greedy, he said that since this one is not dead, I will leave it to him, so I agreed, and then Zhao Zizi and I threw the bag into an unused well in the field in the dark Zhao Laizi tied up the two children and took them away, poured enough medicine and stuffed them in the firewood shed of his home. At dawn the next day, Zhao Laizi took the two children hidden at home to another place Go sell it."

"Where did you sell it?" Lu Zheng couldn't control his emotions and stood up, asking eagerly.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yu Yong swallowed his saliva and shook his head like a rattle: "Zhao Zizi didn't tell me, he just said that halfway through, the child who was hit by a brick didn't know whether the wound was inflamed or What's the matter, it burned like a fireball, he guessed that the child would be burned stupid if he didn't burn to death, he thought it was troublesome, and he couldn't sell it at a price, so he just found a passing train station and threw him away."

"The other... I don't know about it." Yu Yong said tremblingly under Lu Zheng's almost terrifying eyes: "I only know that Zhao Zizi went to the north."

The author has something to say:

That's the whole story of what happened 25 years ago.

So in fact, my brother thought that he was the only one who was robbed and sold. He didn't see how his mother was killed, and he didn't know that his brother was taken away.The younger brother saw with his own eyes the scene where his elder brother was beaten and his mother was killed, but he was later drugged out and always thought that his elder brother and mother were dead.

Everything is wrong...
