The guy in front of him was someone Zhang Dahu hated extremely.
He had seen him, at the police station.
He saw him interrogating his parents and being indifferent to their tears and pleas.
He heard them calling him "Brother Cheng."
He hated Wang Wei and the villagers who bullied them, but he hated the so-called Brother Cheng even more.
If it hadn't been for him, he and his brother would not have become neglected children, nor would they have been kicked out of the house.
Su Yuncheng looked at the little guy's angry face and passed the steamed bun forward: "If you starve to death, you won't be able to seek revenge from me."
This inferior provocation method is not worth mentioning for adults, but for a nine-year-old child... it is quite effective.
Zhang Dahu stamped his feet, snatched the steamed bun from Su Yuncheng's hand, turned and ran back to the old house, and gave the steamed bun to Zhang Erhu.
"Here, eat it quickly." Zhang Dahu licked his fingers.
Zhang Erhu held the steamed bun and was at a loss: "Brother, where did this come from? Can it be eaten?"
He swallowed, wanting to eat but not daring to eat.
Two days ago, some children in the village also gave him something to eat - "steamed buns" stuffed with stone. Before they were given to him, they spit out the saliva of seven or eight people.
Of course he didn't know that half of his front teeth fell out as a result.
Now looking at the white flour steamed buns that his parents couldn't eat at home, Zhang Erhu was greedy, but he didn't dare to eat them.
The stone bites the teeth, which is painful.
Zhang Dahu was also scared. Didn't that bad guy mix rat poison into the steamed buns?
He quickly snatched the bun back and broke it open.
Steamed buns are just steamed buns without fillings.
Su Yuncheng heard what they were saying outside the door and stepped in.
He didn't say anything. He squatted down next to Zhang Dahu, casually broke off a piece of the steamed bun in his hand, and put it into his mouth.
He chewed and swallowed.
"Eat it, it's not poisonous."
Zhang Dahu looked at the steamed bun in his hand, hesitated, and took a bite first.
The white flour is fragrant and sweet, without pebbles or other bitter tastes.
After all, he is just a child. He only thinks that things that are bitter are bad. No one has taught him yet. Some bad things are wrapped in sugar.
Zhang Dahu frowned and swallowed the steamed bun. He waited for a long time with a painful expression on his face. He didn't die, didn't feel any pain, and didn't feel anything else.
"elder brother……"
Zhang Erhu looked at him blankly and shouted instinctively.
Maybe my brother is hungry too, so he doesn’t need to eat this steamed bun.
Zhang Dahu held the steamed bun and glanced at Su Yuncheng hesitantly. Finally, he was cruel and stuffed both halves of the steamed bun to Zhang Erhu.
"Eat."
You may die if you eat it, but you will definitely die if you don't eat it.
Zhang Dahu discovered that in fact, he had no choice at all.
Zhang Erhu carefully took a bite of the steamed bun and chewed it carefully.
The pain in his front teeth taught him to eat in small bites, and no matter how hungry he was, he didn't dare to gobble it up.
He stuffed the other half of the steamed bun to Zhang Dahu: "Brother, you eat."
"I'm not hungry." Zhang Dahu turned his head away from the tempting piece of steamed bun.
Su Yuncheng said calmly: "The older one will give way to the younger one, and the younger one will starve to death in the end."
This is what the elderly often say in disaster years. They advise adults not to skip meals and leave everything to their children - if the adults starve to death, how long can the children live?
Zhang Dahu didn't like hearing what Su Yuncheng said. He glared at him and then took the bun.
He bit the bun, his eyes were hot, but he stubbornly refused to cry.
In the end, he only ate half of the steamed bun and kept the rest in his arms.
Su Yuncheng asked knowingly: "Were you two kicked out?"
In fact, he was always there, including when Wang Wei drove these two boys out of the house with a face of hypocrisy.
But he didn't step forward to stop it, because it wouldn't change anything, and he couldn't always stay by their side.
Zhang Dahu glared at him, glaring at him fiercely.
Su Yuncheng was not very good at dealing with children. He frowned: "Answer my question and I can let you live."
Zhang Dahu: "Okay."
Zhang Dahu has some Zhang family genes in him, for example... he can be shameless in order to survive.
Su Yuncheng was no longer surprised by such rapid changes in emotions. He had seen it too many times when interrogating Zhang's family.
He asked directly: "What does he want with your house?"
Zhang Dahu didn't hide anything and answered directly: "The captain said he wanted to use my house as an educated youth spot."
"Oh, but I heard that the Jiuli Brigade has applied for a batch of bricks and tiles from the commune because the educated youth camp can no longer accommodate them."
Zhang Dahu hesitated for a moment and rubbed his stomach, but felt no pain.
He glanced at Zhang Erhu again and whispered, "I saw Uncle Niu delivering the bricks and tiles to the brigade leader's house."
Su Yuncheng nodded: "Besides Uncle Niu, have you seen anyone else go to his house? Strangers."
Zhang Dahu thought about it for a while and shook his head.
He has been busy cutting hogweed recently, and they don't let him work in the fields. He can only earn work points by cutting as much hogweed as possible to support the two brothers.
Zhang Erhu, who was on the side, raised his head at this time and whispered: "I have seen it before. That time they beat me. I went to the captain's house... There was a man in his family who looked very fierce."
Having said this, Zhang Erhu flattened his mouth and lowered his voice: "Then the captain kicked me out."
Su Yuncheng asked: "Do you remember what that man looks like?"
Zhang Erhu tilted his head and thought for a while, then made a gesture on his face from forehead to chin with his small hand: "He has such a long scar on his face that it split his face."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Dahu nervously covered his mouth.
Zhang Dahu panicked and shook his head vigorously at Su Yuncheng: "N-what, big brother, my brother is young and ignorant. Don't believe his nonsense!"
Su Yuncheng looked at this boy who was extremely wary of the outside world. He chuckled and nodded: "Well, I don't believe it."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, picked up a stone, and threw it out of the window.
Zhang Dahu was so frightened by Zhang Erhu's words that he broke into a cold sweat and no longer dared to ask Su Yuncheng how he planned to let them live.
He just hoped that the captain would never know that it was Erhu who said this, otherwise they would have to be driven out of the village.
Just when Zhang Dahu was afraid, a chubby little fat man came in from outside.
The little fat man looked at Su Yuncheng aggrievedly and whispered: "Brother Cheng, why did you give my steamed buns to these two little brats? I only eat this amount of white noodles in a month!"
Feng Wei felt wronged and felt bitter, but Feng Wei did not dare to speak too loudly.
It is said that Zhou Xu’s leg was almost broken by Brother Cheng because he called Brother Cheng too loudly outside a few days ago...
This distorted story was obviously told by Zhou Xu himself. In his opinion, it would be less embarrassing to say that he was beaten than to say that his zombie-like legs were due to being too tired from riding a bicycle.
Su Yuncheng glanced at Feng Wei, took out the money and tickets from his pocket and gave them to him.
Feng Wei's eyes widened in shock: "Brother Cheng, this, this, this... is just a steamed bun, we brothers won't..."
"Take these two boys home and ask my aunt to take care of them for a while. I don't have much money with me. I'll get it for you when I get back." Su Yuncheng ignored his surprise and continued, "In two months, their mother will be there." It’s time to come out.”
Feng Wei said "Oh" and said nonchalantly: "The two little bastards can eat as much as they want. It's fine."
Zhang Dahu didn't expect that Su Yuncheng not only found a place for them, but also told them that their mother would be back soon.
Zhang Dahu looked at Su Yuncheng with complicated eyes.
The people he thought were good people drove them out of their homes; the people he thought were bad people arranged a place for them to go.
He felt that his mind was in a mess and he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad.
He pulled his brother in shock, followed the fat uncle around into the forest, and pushed the bicycle out of the haystack.
Feng Wei originally thought about asking Su Yuncheng to take a boy with him, but he lifted his long legs and rode away.
Feng Wei called him from a distance: "Brother Cheng! What are you doing?"
"Something's wrong."
Su Yuncheng dropped the two words and didn't even look back.
Feng Wei could only let the older one sit in the back seat, lift the younger one onto the beam, and ride for a while before he realized what was happening——
Did he not control his volume when he called Brother Cheng just now?
