Chapter 163
Time flies, and winter comes in the blink of an eye.
When getting off work in the afternoon, Chen Chuntao hurriedly stopped Liu Dazhui.
"Captain, I'd like to ask for leave tomorrow. Could you please give me a letter of introduction? I want to go to the county town."
Liu Dazhu scraped the mud off his feet without looking up. "Why are you going to the county town? There are still a lot of sweet potatoes in the fields that haven't been dug yet!"
"Captain, tomorrow is the sixth day of the New Year."
Liu Dazhuo stared as if he had thought of something, and after a long time he raised his head and gave Chen Chuntao a complicated look.
"Okay."
"After it's over, let the past be the past, and you can live your life well."
Chen Chuntao lowered her head with red eyes, "I know, I won't be willing to give up unless I see it with my own eyes."
Liu Dazhu sighed and said sympathetically, "Come over later to get the letter of introduction."
"Okay, thank you, Captain."
Chen Chuntao looked up, as if she was suppressing something, and thanked Liu Dazhu softly.
The next morning, before daybreak, she got up and washed as soon as the rooster crowed for the first time.
She put on her best red sweater and a thin cotton jacket with a waistline.
She carefully applied some cream on her face, combed her hair into a neat braid, and then walked towards the town in the dark, one step deep and one step shallow.
When I arrived in the town, I caught the earliest bus that went directly to the county.
Today is the day when Liu Pinggang will be executed by firing squad, and she went to watch him being executed with her own eyes.
No matter how well Liu Ping treated her later, she could not forget the hurt he had caused her.
Looking back on that period, she was already having a hard time in the Xiao family, and she was also harassed, threatened, and forcibly possessed by him.
She was terrified all day long and didn't dare tell anyone. She was also afraid of being discovered, so she could only hide and cry alone.
Every day feels like I'm living on a knife's edge. I'm so devastated that I can't sleep all night long. I'm severely devastated both mentally and physically.
The shadow Liu Pinggang brought to himself was even greater than that of Xiao Hu and Xiao Sanying.
Even though it had been so long, she still woke up from nightmares occasionally.
Now that Xiao Hu and Xiao Sanying are gone, he is going to die too.
Chen Chuntao hated him to the core. Not only did she want to watch him die with her own eyes, she also wanted to destroy his heart before he died.
At this time, the country's laws are very strict, only in this way can people's behavior be restrained and regulated.
For those extremely vicious people, only the death penalty can calm public anger and deter other people.
In this era, people can watch executions.
The purpose of doing this is to let the onlookers know what consequences they will face if they violate national laws.
The crowd watching not only serves as a warning to the public, but also ensures the openness of the entire execution process, allowing the public to supervise.
Many units occasionally organize employees or members with problematic backgrounds or ideologies to observe executions forcibly.
When Chen Chuntao arrived at the execution point, there were already quite a few cowering onlookers at the scene.
It was obvious that many people were forcibly brought here by their units or street offices to watch and study.
What Chen Chuntao didn't expect was that she actually saw Song Zaizhao in the crowd.
Chen Chuntao knew that the other party came for Xiao Jiabao.
She didn't hate Song Zaizhao, because although he stood by and watched her in the mud pit, he never attacked her. At most, he just used the child to snatch survival resources.
But she didn't regret it either, because Xiao Jiabao deserved to die too.
Born in the Xiao family's environment, especially under the education of Xiao Sanying and others, Xiao Jiabao learned how to compete for survival resources at a very young age.
Her Yanyan was only two months old when she died, and was still tied up in a quilt.
And she was sandwiched between pillows on both sides, so it was impossible for her to turn over by herself.
Not long after Yanyan's death, she remembered that once, Xiao Jiabao entered her room. She followed him in and saw Xiao Jiabao strangling her Yanyan.
So on the seventh day after the incident, she coaxed and threatened Xiao Jiabao.
At that time, he shouted at her with an unconvinced look on his face.
"I was the one who turned her over. What can you do to me?"
"Grandma said she's a useless waste of money. It would be better if she died. Not only did she steal my fine grains, she also wasted the family's food."
"You are all money-losing goods. Only I can eat that fragrant rice porridge. I am the eldest grandson of the Xiao family. I am the treasure of the Xiao family."
"If a money-loser dies, then so be it. No one will ever compete with me for rice porridge again."
Xiao Jiabao punched and kicked her while saying, "I told you not to snatch my rice porridge and my egg custard."
Chen Chuntao almost went crazy on the spot.
She didn't expect that just because she had no milk and made rice soup for Yanyan several times, and she didn't give Xiao Jiabao some when he asked for it, he killed Yanyan.
But she had to kneel down and beg Xiao Sanying to get that small bag of rice noodles. That was the food that kept Yanyan alive.
That was Yanyan's life, she couldn't bear to give it up.
Moreover, as the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, Xiao Jiabao is very favored in the family. Sometimes even Xiao Jian, the most favored son of his mother-in-law, has to avoid him.
There was no need for him to snatch Yanyan's portion of rice soup.
Xiao Jiabao is already six years old and knows a few things. That's his sister, how could he be so cruel as to do that to her?
How painful and desperate was her Yanyan when she struggled with her thin hands to save herself?
How long did it take to scratch a pair of delicate fingers until the skin was broken and bleeding?
What was Xiao Jiabao doing at that time?
He stood by and watched with interest, watching Yanyan struggle, listening to Yanyan's desperate cries, and when Yanyan turned her face to the side to breathe, he turned her back to her, and finally stuffed benzene powder into Yanyan's mouth with his fingers.
When Chen Chuntao thought of that scene, her heart almost broke.
It is said that people are born good, but it turns out that some people in the world are really born bad.
Thinking of this, the look she gave Song Zaizhao became a little sharper.
As a mother, why don't you teach your children to be kind?
"Look, here it comes, here it comes."
"Move aside, move aside, stand aside."
Chen Chuntao listened to the discussions around her and looked behind her.
Two military trucks drove slowly towards this side. On the trucks were not only soldiers with alert faces and guns, but also prisoners with handcuffs behind their backs and cloth bags on their heads.
These prisoners all had signs hanging on their chests with words such as "murderer" and "rapist" written in large letters, as well as the prisoner's name.
The heroic soldiers jumped out of the car one by one.
Soon, a cordon was set up in the empty mountains.
There were three prisoners in total. Their hoods were torn off and they were pushed off the car one by one.
Chen Chuntao stared at the man with a sign on his chest that read "Murderer Liu Pinggang" with a venomous gaze.
He had lost a lot of weight and was being pushed forward by armed police officers with guns, looking very embarrassed.
After reaching the position, he was forced to kneel down.
The gunmen behind the three prisoners were ready.
"Liu Pinggang~"
Liu Qin was shocked and looked towards the crowd numbly, and soon saw the face that had been haunting him.
His eyes lit up, his gaze moved downward subconsciously, and then his pupils trembled.
"No, no~"
"Execution!"
Just as he bent one knee to stand up, there was a bang and the bullet pierced his forehead.
