She made fire by setting up a stall

Chapter 368
"He should be imprisoned for the rest of his life!" Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhang Jia couldn't help cursing when the few people arrived at the old man's rented house and saw the crooked man chained up, "Really! It's not as good as a beast."

If it is said that it is chained to prevent him from running around, that is reasonable, but this fool is wearing only single clothes and bare feet, probably cold, and curled up in a broken quilt. At this moment, he is breathing heavily and his face is flushed. It is a fever.

No movement was heard.

Qu Aiguo stepped forward and tried on his neck. "In a coma."

When they came, they passed a small supermarket. Zhang Jia bought two boxes of milk and two boxes of bread. He gave one of the boxes of milk and one box of bread to the tenants next to him. It was the courtyard door that the couple opened for them just now.

This old man is not from Shangjing. It is said that his hometown is in a remote village in X Province. He brought his idiot son to Beijing to find his second son. He also has no wife. According to him, his wife died of cancer two years ago.

When the wife is around, she is mostly taking care of the foolish son.As soon as his wife left, the old man didn't want to take care of him alone, so he took the idiot out several times and threw him away, but everyone in the nearby villages knew that the idiot belonged to his family, and kind people sent the idiot back , even the last time, it turned out that a stray dog ​​brought the fool back. When the old man’s wife was alive, the stray dog ​​often went to play with the fool at home, and the wife would also feed the stray dog. After the wife passed away, Every time a stray dog ​​came over, the old man would beat the dog away. If it wasn't for fear of contracting rabies, the old man would even beat the dog to death and stew it for food.

After that, the stray dogs never dared to come again.

Later, he heard from people in his hometown that his second son was in Beijing, had a good job, and had a wife and children. He didn’t know if he had a house, but he must have a car anyway.

The old man thought that his second child just didn't want to take care of a fool, so he should take care of him as a father.

Otherwise it is unfilial!He can sue his son.

Originally, the old man had a few dilapidated but still livable houses in his hometown, and he also had a few acres of land, but he didn't want to take care of the land, and the land was panicked. Everyone in the village knew him as a man, and no one wanted to rent his land. .

Anyway, he didn't eat his last meal in the village, so he might as well go find his second son.

As long as the second son is found, the second son will have to support him in the future. The old man sold the land and brought his foolish son to Beijing.

Shangjing is so big and full of people, he couldn't find anyone.

In less than half a month, his money was spent, and he didn't even have the travel expenses to go back.

On the day when he was desperate, he was hit by a car. The owner thought it was troublesome, so he outright compensated him 500 yuan.

500 yuan is enough to feed them for a month in their hometown.

The old man got a bargain, and then looked at the fools around him, thinking of a plan, and since then he has made a living by touching porcelain and stealing.

Of course, he can't succeed every time he touches porcelain, seven or eight out of ten are futile, but every time he brings out a fool's son, many people feel sympathetic and let him go.

Some people called the police, but if he was detained, his idiot son would starve to death, and the police had no choice but to educate him and let him leave.

This place is far away from the downtown area of ​​Shangjing. The old man rents a dilapidated private house. Hearing that this area will be demolished, the owner rents it to them at a cheaper price. However, the owner has not signed a contract. have to go.

The old man shared the rent with a pair of sanitation workers.

These things were told by the sanitation worker who lived next door to Shi Luo.

"The old man likes to drink, and his capacity for alcohol is poor. He talks about everything after drinking. Anyway, I don't know whether what he said is true or not. Hey, poor fool." The woman about 50 years old took out a cold bottle from the house The steamed buns were placed next to the fool who didn't know how to live or die. The fool hadn't washed his face or bathed since he came to Beijing. He ate, drank and slopped in this corner. After the woman put down the steamed buns, she left holding her breath, "His father is sometimes absent , Sometimes I'm away for two or three days, and I don't care about him, I will put a bowl of water in front of him before I leave, and sometimes I will put a steamed bun when I am in a good mood. Only when he is a fool can he give the fool a good face."

"If it weren't for the cheap rent here, we wouldn't want to live with him." The woman called a fool from a distance, seeing that he was still awake, "I just fed him an antipyretic, this time I don't know Can you wake up?"

After thinking about it, the woman sighed, and went forward to tuck the quilt for the fool, even this quilt was given to him.

Shi Luo found a pill, walked over, and fed it to the unconscious fool.

Elixir is better than antipyretics.

The idiot woke up quickly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the steamed bun in front of him. He grabbed the steamed bun with both hands and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhang Jia looked sad, he took out a glass of milk and a piece of bread, and handed them to the fool.

The fool ate it whole.

Then he raised his head and smiled at Zhang Jia.

Zhang Jia turned his face away.

Even Qu Aiguo didn't like it.

He urged Zhang Jia, "Bring him another piece of bread."

Zhang Jia took one for the fool, tore it open, and handed it to him.

The fool quickly ate the bread, and then stared at the milk and bread in Zhang Jia's hand. Although he was still hungry, he didn't rush to grab it.

Seeing this, the woman explained, "When the old man eats, idiots are not allowed to go to the table. If idiots dare to grab it, they will be beaten. After a long time, it has become like this."

"Old bastard!" Zhang Jia couldn't help but spit again, "He should also taste what it feels like to be starved and beaten."

"It's useless, that's a rascal." Qu Aiguo replied.

The woman nodded and agreed, "That's right, we've tried to persuade you many times, but it's useless. When he was drunk, he said that if we don't understand, we should bring the idiot back to raise him. You said that if we have the ability to raise the idiot, Are you still out to work?"

"Miss Shi, or when the old man comes back, I'll beat him up." Threat again, telling him not to treat his child like this at least.

"Don't be impulsive." Qu Aiguo reminded.

Zhang Jia scratched his head.

"Wait first." Shi Luo said.

One sentence made Zhang Jia calm down.

The woman moved some stools from her home and told them to sit and wait, "He will be back soon."

After finishing speaking, the woman sighed again, "The idiot will be beaten again. Every time this old man is cleaned up outside, he will take it out on the idiot when he comes back."

The idiot was already skinny, and the skin exposed on his body was even more bruised and purple. It was obvious that he was often abused.

"No one cares?"

"Who cares?" the woman said, "At the beginning, some people persuaded me, but every time he always said the same thing, saying that anyone who can't stand it will take the idiot home."

Gradually, no one interrupted.

Some nearby people couldn't bear to watch it anymore and moved away, while some didn't care and could even follow along to watch the excitement.

As expected, as the woman said, within an hour, the old man came back angrily on his broken battery car.

It seems that he should be educated again.

"Why are you again?" Seeing Zhang Jia and Qu Aiguo, the old man retreated vigilantly, "I didn't steal your money, and I warn you that beating someone is against the law."

Zhang Jia clenched his fists and said, "You fucking know that hitting someone is against the law? Then why didn't you think about it when you hit your own son?"

"He is my son, as long as I don't beat him to death, he won't break the law." The old man became more and more rascal.

Zhang Jia raised his fist and was about to step forward.

Qu Aiguo pulled it quickly.

Zhang Jia took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

Miss Shi always has a way to make this old man honest.

It was strange to say that although the old man was afraid of the fists of Zhang Jia and Qu Aiguo, he was even more afraid of Ming Xun and Shi Luo who had not spoken much behind them.

The old man's eyes dodged, and he didn't intend to say more to them, so he just turned around and walked away.

I want to wait for these people to leave before returning.

"We let you go?" Zhang Jia stepped forward and stopped him.

"Why don't you let me go? This road belongs to your family?" The old man became more and more uneasy. He rushed left and right, but couldn't escape Zhang Jia's obstruction.

The old man was out of breath very quickly. He wanted to swear as usual, but when he saw Zhang Jia's dark face, he felt the wound on his body start to hurt again.

"What are you going to do? If you can't stand it, take the idiot away. I think you are also rich, and you don't have the burden to raise another idiot."

Zhang Jia didn't speak anymore, he clasped the old man's arms and dragged him to Shi Luo.

Of course, it was at least three meters away from Shiluo.

He didn't want this person's bad luck to contaminate Mr. Ming and Shi Luo.

"What are you pulling me for?" The old man struggled, he was worried that Zhang Jia would kill someone to silence him.

The old man's eyes were too obvious, Zhang Jia sneered, directly pressed the man to the ground, stepped on his back, Zhang Jia threatened in a deep voice, "If you don't want to die, just listen honestly."

"You have a fate." Shi Luo said bluntly as always, "You only have one month to live."

"Nonsense!" the old man yelled loudly. He has lived in a daze until today, but he feels that life is worse than death. "What are you? You want to curse me!"

Zhang Jia punched it.

Ming Xun took a breath and glanced at Zhang Jia.

Zhang Jia ordered another round of punches and kicks at the old man, the focus was on his face, the old man's few teeth were knocked out by Zhang Jiaquan, since he couldn't speak, he would say less in the future.

The old man couldn't even cry out for help.

The woman who was watching from the side ran home in fright, and closed the door with a bang, but she was curious and looked out through the window glass.

Seeing the milk that Zhang Jia had just delivered to her in the room, the woman felt that these people were not bad people, but curiosity had the upper hand after all, so the woman opened the door again with great care and walked out.

Before she arrived, she heard Shi Luo's words.

"You have married three wives in your life. The first one was to be a door-to-door son-in-law. Later, because you were too lazy to work, others drove you away, and even your children didn't recognize you. Then you married a vagabond woman. Then The woman couldn't stand your domestic violence, so she ran away within half a year, the third woman you married was a weak woman whose husband died of illness, you raped that woman."

Not to mention decades ago, even today, if a girl is insulted, even if she will be sympathized with, she will still suffer from other people's strange eyes.

The old man threatened the woman with this, and the woman really married him.

"Your eldest son had a cold and fever at the age of seven, and was not cured. He survived by chance, but became a fool. As for your second son, it's not what you said. I don't want to marry someone who is not a fool because of a brother who is a fool. He ran away from home when he got his wife." With Shi Luo's words, the old man's surprise has turned into panic, "He can't stand your irritable, incompetent, and inferior. If anything goes wrong, you will treat your wife The children were beaten and kicked, your son was [-] or [-] years old and started doing small labor for others to subsidize the family, your wife has been doing needlework for others and went blind early, and you are idle all day long."

Even if he had never met the second son, Shi Luo could guess that he should have wanted to take his mother away before he left, but this woman didn't want to drag the second son down and didn't want to follow.

"And your wife didn't die from a serious illness. She was blind, fell into the water when she was on the ground, and drowned."

"You, you, who are you?" The old man's eyes were full of fear, his whole body was trembling, and his words leaked out.

Shi Luo's words are not bad.

"I told you that you will be doomed, do you believe it?" Shi Luo asked without answering.

"Help me!" The old man couldn't believe it, he begged Shi Luo, "I don't want to die, save me!"

Shi Luo took out a safety talisman, but didn't give it to the old man. She handed the safety talisman to Qu Aiguo, and ordered, "Burn it, and feed him with water."

This 'he' is a fool.

If Qu Aiguo falls on time, he burns the talisman into ashes, turns it into water, and hands it to the fool's mouth.

Perhaps it was Qu Aiguo and Zhang Jia who gave him food just now, the fool did not resist the water that Qu Aiguo handed over, he held the bowl and drank it in a few sips.

"Did you see it?" Shi Luo then said to the old man, "He drank my safety talisman, and now he is your safety talisman. If something happens to him, you will definitely not live an extra month."

This operation is absolutely impossible.

Zhang Jiachao Shiluo stretched out his thumb.

Miss Shi is really strong!

The old man's eyes kept changing, some were fierce, some were timid, and some were suspicious.

"Don't think about drinking his blood and eating his flesh." Shi Luo seemed to guess what the old man was thinking, "It won't work, it will only make you die faster."

Shi Luo's words shattered the old man's last illusion.

Zhang Jia kicked him over, "You still want to drink your own son's blood? You old man really deserve to die! Miss Shi shouldn't have saved you!"

If it wasn't for the fool to survive, it would be impossible for Miss Shi to help the old man.

Qu Aiguo knelt down, grabbed the old man's hair, and forced the old man to raise his face. Qu Aiguo said, "Now your idiot son is your life, do you know that?"

"I know." The old man said with difficulty.

"So you have to love him the same way you love your own life, understand?" Qu Aiguo became ruthless, and didn't have anything to do with Zhang Jia.

"Understood." The old man dared not understand.

Only then did Qu Aiguo let go of his hand in disgust.

"Brother Qu is mighty." Zhang Jia praised, and he asked Ming Xun for a wet tissue to wipe Qu Aiguo's hands.

After wiping his hands, Qu Aiguo put the wet wipes on the old man's face, then looked down at the old man, "Don't tell us that you don't have a job and can't support your son. There are many people in this world who are more difficult than you. Those with sound hands and feet can always survive if they find a serious job to do.”

"I, I want to take him home, but I don't have the fare."
