C29 Memory Outside of Memory a Worn-out Village(5)
The villagers are surrounding the village, old and young, the women squeezed into a pile and spat. They bit their yellowed teeth and argued. The crowd began to stir, and a few men squeezed out from inside. They ran away in a panic through the narrow gaps in the crowd. I saw a few women sitting on the ground, their faces ashen. They seemed to be complaining and resentful... I actually got anxious and wanted to know what happened.
I forcefully pushed my fat body aside and squeezed in. A man in police uniform said something in the middle. He had a square face and looked like an ordinary man in his fifties. When I saw the police uniform, I was stunned... My mind went blank and I couldn't hear what he was saying. I just stared blankly at him, my eyes empty.
Aunt Hua, who was beside me, pushed me. She looked a lot more haggard, probably because her husband died.
"Are you called Yuen Qing?" The policeman walked in front of me and asked with a frown. I just nodded my head and didn't want to speak. My heart was breaking down because these police officers came too late.
"You can just call me Chief Feng. Come with me." After saying that, Director Feng turned around and left. I slowly followed him. It was only four to five meters away. At this moment, I saw that there were seven to eight policemen not far away. In the middle, there was a person wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, and a pair of light grey sports shoes. It was very different from the environment here.
His hands were handcuffed and his head was covered by a paper bag. I couldn't see his face, but I felt that it was familiar. I started to panic again and I panicked very badly.
"This is the person who sold you here." Director Feng lit a cigarette and took a puff. He sounded like a hooligan, "You can go and take a look." After saying that, he walked back to the crowd. Although he wasn't far away, I couldn't hear what he was saying.
I was trembling all over. I was afraid... I would feel tired even if I took a step forward. Those policemen were all looking at me. There was regret, disdain, and I didn't care. He was about to die, so what did he care about?
My fingers are trembling, and I used a lot of strength to lift them up. I slowly twisted the paper bag, one inch, two inches, three inches... I'm getting more and more afraid. I want to escape, but I can't. I can't. I can't.
My world and my heart are collapsing. If the reason I was able to live in the past was because of hatred... Now, I don't even have the courage to live. It's him, it's really him, the person I'm thinking of! The person I deeply love who can give up everything! His familiar yet fuzzy face was pale and lightless, and he had very deep dark circles under his eyes. He no longer had the confidence he had back then, and only had a look of degeneration on his face.
I thought I would go crazy and go crazy, but I didn't. I was very calm. Even I didn't expect myself to be so calm.
I just looked at him calmly, as if I was looking at a stranger. Only now did I realize that when I hated someone to the extreme, it was so calm. He didn't look up at me. Was it because of guilt or disdain?
I pinched his delicate chin and slowly raised his head. I wanted to laugh, but he narrowed his eyes and looked at me. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, filled with sarcasm. "Pa!" I gave him a good slap. There was a slap mark on his face.
He looked up at me mockingly again. "Hehe..." My smile is very demonic. Yu Longchen is standing beside me, he is even more shocked than me. When I saw his face, I couldn't control myself. I lost all my favorable impression of him and started to hate him. This is the so-called love for the house?
I close my eyes and don't think about him. That way, he will disappear. "No, Qing, that's not me..." I didn't see the hatred in Yu Longchen's eyes. His voice was gone. I opened my eyes. As long as I don't think about him... Am I right?
"Kill them! Everyone, don't be afraid! We have a lot of people, the police won't dare to act recklessly! " The barbarian's voice was very rough. I turned around to take a look. The women had already moved aside. There were more than a dozen villagers. Holding a hoe, sickle, sledgehammer... they rushed towards the police.
"Puff!" The sound of bullets piercing through flesh and blood was heard. The barbarian fell to the ground, clutching his bleeding thigh as he screamed. The villagers behind him were all frightened and did not move at all.
Chief Feng put away the gun that was still smoking and held the cigarette in his mouth. He said slowly, "What do you think the police won't dare to do? Don't dare to kill you? You know what you've done. It's enough for you to die. If you still want to die, then come. Our bullets are enough to send you to hell!" His voice became louder and louder until it finally became a roar." Come at me! F * ck you! Come at me if you dare! "
The villagers were frightened by his actions. No one said a word or did anything else. Suddenly, it became quiet. The sound of the wind was so tense.
Chief Feng finished smoking his cigarette and twisted it with his feet. He exhaled a mouthful of foul air and said, "I know that many of you have been sold. You can come with me now, or you can stay here. This is entirely up to your own free will."
I saw that many people were hesitating. Of course, except for me. After such a long time, most of them had children and were used to living here. This was because they were reluctant to part with them. Can you get used to it just by going out? This was what they were worried about.
Chief Feng looked at their expressions and frowned, not saying anything. "I'll go!" I simply replied. The villagers stared at me fiercely and I smiled gently at them. Director Feng looked at me blankly for a few seconds before nodding at me. I pursed my lips and smiled. If I don't go out, how can I let him die? Actually, I still can't bear to part with these villagers...
A few women stood behind Director Feng and lowered their heads. Their wife started to scold, "F * ck your ancestors! You b * tch! Come back here!"
"F * ck you! Try me if you dare to leave!..."
"You b * tch!..."
As he spoke, there were still people who wanted to drag him away. "Bang!" Another gunshot rang out, and the cursing stopped. "If you come up again, I'll blow your brains out!" This was what Chief Feng had said, with a sense of dignity. The scene quieted down again.
"Is there no more?" Director Feng paused for a moment, as if waiting for more women to step out, but no, there were only angry men with their heads down and their wives taken away. Some men looked at their wives in satisfaction, thinking that they should treat her well. After all, their wives hadn't left, had they?
"I will give a warning here. If there are any more women and children being sold, once discovered, they will be shot to death!" "Bang!" After saying that, Director Feng fired another shot, causing them to tremble.
"Withdraw!"
The remaining villagers stared fixedly at us as we left. There were anger, complaints, and rejoicing... Only Old Hong looked at me indifferently. I don't know if this is a consolation. I am leaving, and he is still in the village.
I just found out that there is a stone road about ten miles away from the village. It can only accommodate the next car. If two cars were to come at us, one of them must be parked at the width of the road. Otherwise, there would be a car accident.
We walked for about an hour or two before we got there. There were no villagers chasing us from the distance. They were afraid of death. If they died, there would be nothing left. Actually, I really wanted to see them chase us out and get beaten to death. The scene must be very beautiful.
There were five police cars and a van parked on the road. The policemen got into the cars in batches and took him to the first police car. There were three police officers looking at him. Director Feng let the women sit in the van at the back, and they looked a little panicked. I didn't go in. Director Feng walked in front of me and patiently said, "Why didn't you go in?"
"I want to sit with him." I pointed at the first police car and said firmly. Director Feng hesitated and said, "I won't do anything."
Director Feng looked at me and sighed. He closed his eyes and turned around. "Go." I was very happy, really happy.
I sat on his left side, because this is the closest position to his heart...
