I don’t know if Village Chief Liu was tired from beating people or what, but he collapsed on the ground.
"Liu He, why are you so stupid? Why can't you just talk it out? Why do you have to kill someone? Do you think you'll feel better if you kill someone?"
As Village Chief Liu spoke, tears began to roll down his face.
"Village chief, everything has already happened. Take care of yourself."
Some villagers couldn't bear to watch it anymore and came forward to comfort Village Chief Liu.
Village Chief Liu looked at Liu He with a dazed expression. How could he listen to anything?
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers did not dare to step forward to comfort them, but just watched Village Chief Liu and others from afar.
After a long while, a villager spoke nervously.
"Village chief, we haven't reported it to the police yet, so how about you let Liu He run away?"
"That's right, Village Chief. Everyone in our village knows what Liu He is like. He must have a reason for killing people."
"Yes, let Liu He run! When the soldiers come, we can all say we didn't know. If we run away, we might still be able to survive."
Village Chief Liu was moved when he heard this.
Just then, Liu He spoke.
"My dear uncles, aunts, and fellow villagers, Liuhe knows that you are all doing this for his own good. However, as a man, you are responsible for your own actions."
"I, Liu He, have killed someone, so I must pay with my life! My fellow villagers, there's no need to say anything more."
When Village Chief Liu heard Liu He's words, he felt mixed emotions.
I am happy that my son is so responsible, but I am also sad that he will lose his life if he stands up.
"Liu He, I'm happy for you to take on this responsibility. Whether you're beheaded or face death, you have to accept it."
"Alas, lust is like a knife hanging over your head. It's your life, it's all your life!"
Liu He lowered his head.
"Dad, I know, but I don't regret it. It's just that I can no longer serve you and mom. I'm sorry."
"Mother, she has a hard time with it. Please try to comfort her. Tell her not to be sad and just pretend that she never raised such a son!"
After Liu He finished speaking, he closed his eyes in pain.
As the son of the village chief of Xiangyang Village, he has lived a better life than other children of the same age in the village since childhood.
I never thought that one day I would end up killing people.
"Dad, let's report it to the police!"
After hearing this, Village Chief Liu burst into tears.
"Liu He, son..."
"Dad, this can't be concealed. From the moment I killed someone, I was ready to die."
After hearing this, Village Chief Liu's hair turned gray instantly.
"Fellow villagers, something happened to my son today. I, Liu Changxing, am too embarrassed to be the village chief anymore. Anyone free? Please help me report this to the authorities."
Village Chief Liu finished speaking with a sob, then raised his hand with difficulty and patted Liu He.
"I'll take Liuhe back. When the soldiers arrive, please have them come to my house to arrest him."
After saying this, Village Chief Liu stretched out a pair of calloused hands.
"Liu He, let's go. Dad will take you home."
Liu He shook his head.
"Dad, I'm staying here. I won't go back home, lest I bring bad luck to the family!"
Village Chief Liu sighed.
"No matter what you do, you are still your parents' child. Your parents are not afraid of bad luck."
"Besides, if you go out like this, it would be bad if you scare others."
"Besides, your mother is still lying at home. Can you bear that your mother can't even see you for the last time?"
Village chief Liu understood that his son had killed four people in a row and would definitely be beheaded if he was caught.
I thought that before the soldiers arrived, I would take Liu He back to wash up and have a good meal.
After all, once you are in jail, if you want to have a full meal again, you will probably have to wait until the day of execution.
After listening to this, Liu He looked down at himself.
He was covered in blood and his face was sticky. If he walked out, it would probably scare people.
As for my mother, raising a murderer as her son, I'm afraid she won't have a good life in the village in the future. Whether she recognizes her son or not, I will go to see her one last time.
"Okay, Dad, your son will go back with you."
After Liu He finished speaking, he stood up and walked home with Liu He.
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers immediately made way for Village Chief Liu and his son to leave.
After returning home, Liu He tidied himself up and changed into clean clothes, and the wife of the village chief Liu woke up.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Liu He dressed neatly.
"Son, son? Are you okay? That's great. I was scared to death."
After saying this, the wife of the village chief Liu hugged Liu He.
"Mother, I am an unfilial son and have made you worry. Mother, you must take care of yourself."
When the wife of the village head Liu heard this, tears started streaming down her face.
"Son, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that you killed many people. You were covered in blood. Mother..."
Liu He patted his mother's back.
"Mother. Son, son..."
The wife of the village chief Liu was stunned.
Wasn't I dreaming? Was what happened before real?
"Son, what's wrong with you? Is it true, is it true?"
The wife of the village headman Liu stopped talking halfway through, as if she would never know if she didn't say it.
Liu He didn't say anything, but just hugged his mother tightly.
After a while, Village Chief Liu walked in.
"Liu He, it's time to eat. Daddy cooked some meat for you. Eat more."
Liu He turned his head and looked at Village Chief Liu. He shouted something and swallowed the rest of the words.
"father……"
Village Chief Liu patted Liu He on the shoulder.
"Let's eat."
"Dad, you cooked so many dishes, I can't finish them all by myself, you and mom should come and eat together."
Village Chief Liu looked at his daughter-in-law whose face was filled with tears.
"Let's eat together. Perhaps this is our last family reunion dinner. From now on, we won't be able to have reunion dinners anymore."
When the wife of the village headman Liu heard this, her tears flowed even more violently.
"Okay, okay, let's eat together and have a reunion dinner!"
The family sat at the table, looking at the table full of food, but no one picked up their chopsticks first.
It was not until the food had gone cold that the wife of the head of the Liu Village wiped her tears and spoke.
"The food is cold, I'll go heat it up."
After saying that, without waiting for Village Chief Liu and his son to speak, he took the food and went to the kitchen.
When the dishes were served again, the face of the wife of the head of the Liu Village looked much better.
Although I can't say I'm happy, at least I'm not crying anymore.
"Eat it now. If you don't eat it now, you may not have another chance to eat it."
After Village Chief Liu finished speaking, he was the first to pick up his chopsticks.
The dishes on the table were very rich, so rich that even Village Chief Liu's family would only eat such good food during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing Village Chief Liu picking up his chopsticks, Liu He and his mother picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
