Arriving at the field in front of a row of uneven gray tiled houses in Niujiazhuang, the agricultural vehicle that had been driving very slowly stopped. Niu Er got down from the driver's seat, raised his head and shouted to Shi Deyuan who was squatting in the truck bed, "Old man, get ready to get down."
Shi Deyuan said in the carriage, if I don't get out, you go to my house and get the money, and then send me to the county hospital for a check-up. My lumbar vertebrae are fractured, and the pain is getting more and more severe now.
Niu Er couldn't force Shi Deyuan to come down, so he just told him to wait. He walked straight into the room with the open door and saw his father, a healthy old man with a bald head sitting in the upper room twisting hemp rope.
There was a pile of newly twisted white hemp ropes beside him. Just as he was about to speak, his father looked at him and spoke first, "Second brother, I have twisted these many hemp ropes and put them on the farm truck for you to drag to the county seat." Sell it! Sell some money and buy some delicious food to celebrate the festival. The Dragon Boat Festival is only a few days away.
Dad, I've caused trouble. How can I worry about bringing hemp rope to the street to sell with you? Niu Er, who had said this, walked up to his father with a look of helplessness on his face.
Oh my god, what did you get into? Does it matter? The father stopped twisting the hemp rope and stared at his son and asked.
The important thing is that my car hit an old man in his seventies. Niu Er said.
Did you get killed? asked the father.
No. He was injured in a collision. He was in my car and asked me to take him to the county hospital for treatment. I had no money. I want to discuss with you what to do. Niu Er said with a melancholy expression.
It's over. It doesn't cost a few hundred yuan to send you to the hospital. It depends on how badly you hit the person. If it's severe, it's hard to say whether it's tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. The father was anxious to express the seriousness of the matter.
Dad, do you have a thousand dollars? Give it to me first, and then send the old man to the county hospital. Niu Er expressed his inner thoughts.
The father stood up from his seat, touched the back of his head with his hand, gritted his teeth and said to Niu Er, "Get the old man out of the car and let me handle it."
Dad, can you knead the injured old man well? Niu Er, who looked lonely, asked this, his eyes occasionally brightened, and he seemed to have seen a turn of events.
Niu Er walked out of the main room, passed through several doors, and quickly came to the field in front of the house.
Shi Deyuan was caressing the edge of the agricultural vehicle body and asked Niu Er, who had just come out after a while, "Hey, why don't you send me to the county hospital for treatment?"
Niu Er was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently, let my father and you pinch and touch the injured part, maybe it will relieve the injury.
At this time, his father came out of the house. When he saw Shi Deyuan sitting on the farm truck, he recognized him. In his early years, he went to Centipede Ridge Village as a "cattle hunter" (i.e., engaged in cattle selling business) and mixed with Shi Deyuan. The face looked familiar. I saw him saying politely to Shi Deyuan, I'm sorry, my son was blind while driving and hit Brother Shi.
Niu Taixing, it’s you! Your son didn’t bump into me on purpose, it was a mistake. Now that he hit my lumbar spine, you’d better take me to the county hospital for a checkup. It hurts so much, I can't bear it! As Shi Deyuan spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch his swollen lumbar spine, but this movement he made in the truck bed was not visible to others.
Brother Shi, let me give you my opinion. I suggest you not go to the hospital first. The injury you sustained when you were hit by a car is painful, but it may not be too severe. I suggest you stay at my house and I will help you treat it. I will learn from it. If you have some skills for bruises and bruises, you can also pick some spray medicine from the mountains and boil it for a few times before you drink it, maybe it will be good for you. What Niu Er's father Niu Taixing said could not persuade Shi Deyuan.
Shi Deyuan said hesitantly, Niu Taixing, I don't agree with the method you mentioned. I suspect that my lumbar vertebrae have been fractured. It won't be cured by just taking a few injections. I need to take X-rays and then put on a plaster. Of course. Take medicine.
Presumably, these medical procedures will be subject to restrictions in your home. No way! It would be safer to send me to a large county hospital to avoid delaying the treatment time. I am in severe pain now.
Niu Taixing saw that Shi Deyuan's face was turning purple. He knew that he was seriously hit by a car, but he didn't want to send him to the county hospital because it would cost a lot of money.
At this moment, Niu Taixing put it another way, Brother Shi, you and I are old acquaintances, you should believe me, you come down first, come sit at my house, and I will pinch and touch the injured part with you. There are many, if the pinching and touching is good, I wish; if the pinching and touching is not good, I will ask a driver to hit your dick and send you to the county hospital for treatment. Is this okay?
Shi Deyuan didn't answer. Looking at his painful and helpless expression, it looked like both acquiescence and stalemate. Niu Taixing thought it was time, blinked his eyes, and motioned to his son to quickly get Shi Deyuan down and hand it over to him.
Niu Er knowingly opened the baffle on one side of the agricultural vehicle and then lowered it. Then he asked Shi Deyuan to step aside, let him lie on his back, and carried him towards the house.
Niu Taixing led the way, passed the central hall and opened a wing room on the north side. Niu Er carried Shi Deyuan in and sat him down on a stool against the wall. Niu Taixing winked again, and Niu Er withdrew.
Niu Taixing immediately closed the door, fastened the latch, and then closed the window. The room suddenly became dark, and Shi Deyuan felt uncomfortable, so he asked, Niu Taixing, don't you want me to pinch and touch the part injured by the car? Now the doors and windows are closed tightly, the light is not good, how can you see?
When I treat your bruises, you need to be quiet, so close the doors and windows tightly to facilitate luck. If you want to create an aura, you can't lose your aura. It's like cooking a pot of rice with the lid open. The rice is hard to cook and more fuel is burned. do you know? Just pinching and touching the injured area won't work. Qigong treatment must be used to see the effect.
Niu Taixing spoke without looking at Shi Deyuan, but walked to the corner, squatted down and picked up a long thick rope, then came to Shi Deyuan with a grin and wrapped his body around him.
Shi Deyuan was a little panicked, struggling and asked, "What are you doing?" Niu Taixing, who was tightening the rope around Shi Deyuan's body, replied, I suspect that your lumbar vertebrae were dislocated after being hit by a car, so I need to tie you up with a rope, tie you head down and feet up, and hang you from the beam for a while, keeping the dislocation to one side. By straightening your lumbar spine, your injury will be relieved and the pain will not be too severe.
I don't agree. If my lumbar spine is fractured, wouldn't it make things worse for an old man who is seriously injured? Shi Deyuan asked again.
Niu Taixing ignored him and tied Shi Deyuan so tightly with a thick rope that he could not move. Then he did not hang him on the beam, but used one hand to lift the skinny and not too heavy Shi Deyuan. He got up, hung the end of a thick rope on a wooden ladder against the wall, and said with a fierce expression, Brother Shi, you can't blame me. My family is too poor. Not long ago, my son Niu Er hit someone with his car and killed me. Decades of savings have been spent, and it’s not enough.
Today, my blind son Niu Er injured you again. You are over seventy years old, so you should have had enough! You're so desperate, I'm going to clean up your old bones today.
Because our Niu family really does not have the money to send you to the county hospital for treatment. You also know that it is not a matter of one or two cents. I just want the relationship between my son Niu Er and you to be over.
You want to kill me? Shi Deyuan asked, trembling.
Niu Taixing did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned around and took out a sharp knife from the bamboo basket placed in the other corner of the wing. Then he turned around and came to Shi Deyuan. He said seriously, "This is the guy I usually kill cows with." , it will come in handy again today.
Help - Niu Taixing is killing someone - Shi Deyuan screamed at the top of his lungs.
Just scream! You can shout as much as you want, but no one will be able to hear you. This wing is surrounded by a deep courtyard, so even if you shout at the end of your throat, it will be in vain. Niu Taixing knocked Shi Deyuan on Shi Deyuan's wrinkled forehead with the back of his sharp knife, and spoke very arrogantly.
At this time, Shi Deyuan was frightened out of his mind. He begged, please let me live! I don’t want your family to pay for my back injury, absolutely.
Who will believe your lies? Once you are let go and out of control, you will regret it. Niu Taixing put a sharp knife against Shi Deyuan's throat and said.
Niu Taixing, I am not bad to you! In the early years, you were selling cattle, but when you arrived at Centipede Ridge Village, I even kept you in my house for a meal! Don't you remember my kindness to you at all? Shi Deyuan said this to break up his cruel behavior.
What’s a meal? Of course, just because I had a meal at your house, I still remember your kindness. I will let you die happily today and cut your throat with a knife, and you will die soon. Otherwise, I will not remember your kindness and stab you randomly in non-fatal parts of your body. It will hurt you terribly but you will not die. That would be really uncomfortable.
As Niu Taixing spoke, he swiped the sharp knife with cold light in his hand towards Shi Deyuan's neck. Shi Deyuan, who was bleeding profusely and twitching for a while, died, but his unblinking eyes seemed to be staring at Niu Taixing, which was particularly terrifying.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Shi Deyuan's son Shi Xiangyang saw that his father did not come home, so he called his sister Shi Xiuli in the city and asked if his father was celebrating the festival with you. Shi Xiuli was anxious when she heard this and said no. A few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, her father went back and I gave him the money to buy the ticket.
Shi Xiangyang said, that's it. I don't know where his father has gone. Anyway, he didn't go home. Did he get into the wrong car? If a car dragged him to another place, it would be really troublesome. Shi Xiuli continued to say on the phone that it was impossible, her father did not suffer from dementia, he had a clear mind!
He was such a sober person, why didn't he go home after so long? Moreover, today is a holiday, and he has a strong self-esteem. At such an old age, it is impossible to celebrate the holiday at someone else's house. Shi Xiangyang guessed.
After a while, he put the phone down and told his wife Liu Yuying about his father's disappearance. Liu Yuying, who was wearing a bib and cooking festive dishes, had nothing to worry about.
It was almost noon, and there were still a few dishes that were not fried, so she hurriedly went to find her father-in-law. Her mother-in-law passed away a few years ago. She muttered that if her mother-in-law was still alive, her father-in-law would not move around. Even if he did, he would always have someone to look after him when he was with her. When my mother-in-law was alive, she never left her father-in-law. Outsiders say so, this pair of old people always stick together, it is true that the scale cannot be separated from the weight, and the weight cannot be separated from the scale.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuying blamed herself: She, her husband and even the younger generations of the historians had failed to fulfill their responsibility to take care of the elderly. At this moment, she would go out to look for her missing father-in-law if she didn't want to eat. Shi Xiangyang said, Yuying, after serving lunch, go out and look for your father separately. It’s not good to go out to look for him now, even if he’s hungry.
So the couple had a hasty lunch, keeping the delicious food, and planned to take the old man home and enjoy it together at dinner. However, the couple searched separately for a whole afternoon. They searched all the relatives' houses. They all said that Mr. Shi Deyuan had never been here and they had not seen him for a long time.
The Shi family panicked, but they still remained calm. While searching, they posted advertisements for missing persons notices everywhere, but to no avail. They then found newspapers, radio and television stations and other media to pay for advertisements for missing persons notices, but there was still no news.
Shi Xiangyang was depressed every day, so he and his sister went to the police station in their hometown of Yanghuo Town to report the crime.
The director of the police station responded to Fu An. When he heard them telling the case of Shi Deyuan's disappearance, he immediately pulled out Shi Deyuan's ID card information from the computer for observation.
Because these days, he had nightmares for several nights in a row. The appearance of an old man in the dream was particularly similar to the appearance of Shi Deyuan that was called up on the computer.
What surprised him even more and what he didn't understand was that the old man in the dream always showed him an expression of great pain. Suddenly, the old man's body exploded, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Fu An started to respond casually, always thinking that he was too tired during the day and didn't get a good rest. His nerves were tired and he was prone to nightmares.
But now he connected Shi Deyuan, who had been missing for many days, with the old man in his dream, which aroused alarm. He has learned that Shi Deyuan is not confused at ordinary times, and the possibility of sudden confusion is unlikely; besides, an old man with no money, could he be kidnapped? impossible. I also asked that the old man was a kind-hearted person, and he never had any grudges with others, nor did he have any vendettas.
