Chapter 106 Beat him to death

When she shouted, people in the distance immediately looked over to see what was going on.

A man suddenly rushed out from the haystack, holding up his pants and tying them up randomly, and chased after Lin Shu, "Stop, stop!"

Seeing that the distance was a bit far, he grabbed a stone and threw it at Lin Shu fiercely.

With a bang, Lin Shu was almost hit by a fist-sized stone, which scared her so much that she ran at an unprecedented speed!

"Catch the gangster! Catch the gangster!"

She shouted while running towards the main road.

Lu Shaotang entered Houtun Village and vaguely heard the voice of his wife?

Could it be that he missed his wife and son too much and was hallucinating?

He immediately quickened his pace and finally ran away.

Soon he saw a man with messy clothes holding a stone in his hand chasing to the south. A cute figure was running in an S-curve not far in front?

Who else could it be but his wife!

He immediately rushed forward in three or two steps, kicked the man to the ground, and then casually broke the man's arm with a kick.

The man's eyes were red, and he looked like he had lost his mind. He made a huhu sound from his throat, like a monster that was choosing people to eat.

Lu Shaotang frowned slightly and directly broke his jaw to prevent him from biting.

The man was paralyzed on the ground, and still wanted to struggle and attack.

Lin Shu, who was not far away, hid behind a haystack and stopped running when she saw someone holding the man.

At this time, the members who heard the sound also came here to ask what was going on.

"That man is so tall and so agile!"

"Whose family is he from?"

Lin Shu looked at him and said, "Why... he looks like my family?"

Some people in Houtun knew her, but some didn't. Those who didn't know her would subconsciously guess that she was the most beautiful military wife because she was so handsome.

Lin Shu ran back immediately after seeing that there was no danger. Sure enough, she saw Lu Shaotang standing there, and on the ground was lying... Xu Ermao?

"Lu Shaotang!" She was extremely surprised.

Lu Shaotang smiled at her. It was his wife.

He stretched out his hand to her, and Lin Shu immediately rushed over and put her little hand in his warm big hand, "Quick, there might be someone in the haystack over there..."

Lu Shaotang understood, and immediately ordered the two sisters-in-law to go over and take a look, and asked someone to call the production team cadres of Houtun to come over.

Lin Shu quickly picked up the cloth bag she had dropped.

Soon the two women rescued a 13 or 14-year-old girl from the haystack. Her eyes were bulging from the pinching, and blood was oozing from her eyes and nose.

"Ah, it's Shui Fang!"

Shui Fang's mother in the crowd saw that it was her daughter and rushed over crying, "Xu Ermao, you damn it, I'm going to kill you!"

Today everyone went to the commune to deliver pigs. The daughter said she also wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some small things. She thought it was okay so she let her go and took her needlework basket to chat and do needlework at a good friend's house. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the daughter was harmed by the bastard Xu Ermao!

The members who ran over to see the situation were also filled with indignation.

"This Xu Ermao, he looks so honest, how come... he is so bad!"

"It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance, there is such a rogue among us!"

"It's terrible, beat him to death!"

Two impatient and courageous women rushed over and kicked Xu Ermao twice. Seeing that someone took the lead, the other women also rushed over to punch and kick him, grab his face, tear his hair, and kick him.

One of the women picked up the stone that Xu Ermao dropped and smashed it hard on his vitals.

Xu Ermao screamed in pain even though his jaw was removed.

The brigade cadres all went to the commune to help the members sell pigs. Only the accountant of Houtun was there. He ran over but couldn't intervene and just watched the women beat Xu Ermao.

Because Lin Shu found out in time, Xu Shuifang's life was not in danger.

Xu Ermao was beaten badly, not only was his head swollen like a pig, but his lower body was also broken.

Xu Ermao's mother rushed to save her son, "Don't hit us, don't hit us..."

Several women raised their arms and slapped her, "Why did you raise such a troublemaker?"

Xu Ermao's father squatted on the road and begged for mercy, asking everyone to show mercy, "We are all from the same village, please let him go. There must be a misunderstanding, our Ermao has been a good boy since he was young, and he never did anything bad. This, this must not be done by him, it must be the girl who seduced him."

Xu Ermao's mother also shouted: "Yes, Shui Fang usually seduces my Ermao..."

The members were angry, your son is a troublemaker to a little girl, and you say she seduced him?

Someone seduced him to crawl into the haystack, and he almost strangled her to death?

Everyone rushed forward, and even beat Xu Ermao's parents.

If no one stopped them, they could beat them to death in anger.

Xu Ermao's uncles and aunts had all gone to deliver the pigs. Even if others thought he was an honest man, now that the facts were in front of them, they could only say that Xu Ermao was a secretive person, and it was difficult to persuade them not to beat him.

Someone said to Lu Shaotang, "You are the People's Liberation Army, don't you care?"

Lu Shaotang was hiding behind the crowd to comfort his wife. This woman was really timid, sometimes big and sometimes small. He had to teach her to find someone first when encountering such things in the future, and not to do it alone.

Hearing someone asking him, he said, "What do you care?"

The man pointed at the crowd and said, "If someone dies again."

Lu Shaotang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Well, we really can't beat him to death. We will have to hold a public trial and shoot him later."

Lin Shu also shouted, "Yes, don't beat him to death, let him kneel there and be shot in front of the whole commune!"

His parents have to pay for the shot, and his parents have to collect his body!

Everyone gave face to Lu Shaotang and Lin Shu and then stepped back.

When Xu Ermao's parents saw their son who was beaten beyond recognition, they howled and cried, and felt that they were going to die.

Lu Shaotang took a look, and lifted Xu Ermao's jacket with disgust to pad his hands and put his arm and chin back.

"Haha."

Xu Ermao started to provoke as soon as his chin was free.

He knew he was doomed.

He was caught on the spot and had no chance of survival.

He suddenly became crazy and ferocious, his eyes rolled to look at Lin Shu, then stared at Lu Shaotang, his eyes emitting a vicious and crazy light, and his smile was even more evil, "Your wife is even better..."

"Bang" Lu Shaotang punched him directly, knocking out three of his teeth.

Xu Ermao, however, seemed to be unaware of the pain. He was in a state of madness. He fell to the ground with his eyes fixed on the crazy woman, and said vaguely, "Water Lily, Water Lily."

When the crazy woman heard him say Water Lily, she pushed away the others and threw herself on him, "Water Lily, Water Lily."

She couldn't accept that her daughter had been sensible and well-behaved since she was a child.

How could she suddenly elope with a man? Water Lily was not even 14 years old at the time. How could she suddenly elope

? They had only this precious daughter, and they loved her very much. How could she bear to leave her parents and elope with a man?

They just didn't want her to be with the gangsters in the town. She was still young, and it would take two years for her to find a partner, but she ran away in anger.

They went to the town to find the gangster like crazy, but the gangster's family denied having seen her.

They said they just knew her, invited her to eat melon seeds and play together, there was nothing else, let alone eloping.

In this day and age, you need a letter of introduction and food coupons to go out, where can they elope?

But Xu Ermao said that he seemed to see a man walking back with Shuilian.

Now Xu Ermao explained vaguely that Shuilian was buried by him under the haystack just now.

The crazy woman screamed, opened her mouth and bit Xu Ermao's neck, biting him directly so that blood flowed out.

The members present, whether they had feelings for Shuilian or not, cried.

That beautiful girl was killed by the beast Xu Ermao, but he slandered her for eloping with a man.

Those gossipers in the village are still gossiping now!

Whenever they start talking, they talk about the Water

Lily from Houtun who ran away with a man. The Water Lily with a foxy spirit who was used to hooking up with men.

The Water Lily who ran away with a man at a young age with a coquettish look.

...

...

When the commander of the commune militia and five or six militiamen with guns hurried over to arrest Xu Ermao, Lin Shu became afraid belatedly.

Her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Lu Shaotang, who was watching her, quickly picked her up.

Lin Shu's legs were as weak as noodles. She was obviously not afraid, but her legs just wouldn't obey.

Seeing that she couldn't stand, Lu Shaotang picked her up.

Lin Shu screamed, "Put me down!"

Lu Shaotang: "You twisted your ankle, don't you feel any pain?"

She was obviously as timid as a rabbit. She didn't dare to look him in the eye even after they got married, and she avoided him when they met again in the city. Now she is very brave and dares to beat up the vicious gangster.

He didn't blame her, but admired and felt sorry for her.

Lin Shu was really scared after she knew that Xu Ermao was a murderer.

The strange thing is that she didn't know what fear was at all at that time. She only thought about saving people. She was afraid only after she was completely safe.

Xu Ermao's stone almost hit her head. If she was hit and bleeding, it would be a light loss. What if he caught up and killed her?

When the members heard that Lin Shu was injured, they came to show concern for her, but no one laughed at her being hugged by a man.

Lin Shu was embarrassed and ashamed, so she just "fainted".

After scolding Xu Ermao, the members praised Lin Shu,

"I used to think she was weak, but I didn't expect her to be so powerful!"

"Fortunately, she shouted in time and saved Shui Fang."

When Old Man Lu heard the news and rushed over, he initially thought that his third daughter-in-law was injured, but he was relieved to see that it was not serious.

Deng Dalaba said to Old Man Lu: "Shaotang's wife and Shaotang are really great. If it weren't for them, Xu Ermao would have caused so many troubles to young ladies!"

Old Man Lu was also filled with righteous indignation, "This beast, he usually looks very honest."

Many men and women from Lujiazhuang came over. Today, they all went to the commune to deliver pigs. They were happily queuing up to buy New Year's goods at the supply and marketing cooperative after getting the money, but they heard that Xu Ermao in Houtun had killed someone!

With the help of Deng Dalaba, the commander of the commune militia asked the members for an iron pickaxe and took Xu Ermao to dig on the spot.

When Lady Shuilian saw the corpse of the young lady, she suddenly woke up, screamed, and bit Xu Ermao again.

Father Shuilian, who had hurried back from delivering the pigs, also rushed up and beat up Father Xu Ermao.

After the militia took Xu Ermao away, the angry relatives and friends of the victim rushed into Xu Ermao's house.

"Help! Someone is going to be beaten to death!"

Father Xu Ermao wanted to call Lu Shaotang to stop those members.

But Lu Shaotang had already taken Lin Shu home.

This kind of folk case was handled by the police and the militia, and it was not his responsibility.

Fang Dihua was making Tiantian and Panpan stay at home. Mrs.

Qiu was a cautious person who didn't like dangerous and lively things. When she heard people shouting that someone was killed in Houtun, she took a few children and hid in Lu's house, locked the door and waited for Fang Dihua, even though she didn't know what was going on.

At this time, Fang Dihua took out some candy for the children, and asked Tiantian and Panpan to take them to read comic books.

Seeing Lu Shaotang carrying Lin Shu back, the children immediately ran to surround him.

They heard that someone was killed in Houtun, and they were very scared. Their mother went to Houtun to deliver clothes!

Lu Shaotang said softly: "Your mother caught a big bad guy."

The children's eyes widened instantly.

Lu Shaotang put Lin Shu on the kang in the west room and helped her take off her shoes. She looked at her red cheeks and a pair of wet eyes. She looked down and saw wet marks on her clothes.

He felt distressed.

His wife was scared.

Lin Shu didn't cry because she was scared, but because she was in pain. She didn't feel anything at first, but then her right foot started to hurt more and more, and now it hurt like hell.

Lu Shaotang took off her socks and checked. Not only was her ankle twisted and swollen, but her big toe nail was also split and bleeding.

Tiantian and Panpan felt so distressed and rushed to blow on her mother's wound.

Fang Dihua brought the hemostatic powder that Lu's father had made himself, and also brought some medicinal wine for traumatic injuries.

Lu Shaotang first used warm water to clean the blood on Lin Shu's feet, and then used a pair of small scissors to help her trim the split nail.

The nail split into the flesh and it hurt so much that she pulled it back hard.

Lu Shaotang held her ankle, cleaned it quickly and firmly, then applied medicine powder and bandaged it simply.

Lin Shu was already sweating from the pain.

Tiantian and Panpan used handkerchiefs to wipe her sweat.

Lu Shaotang used medicinal wine to rub the blood on her ankle. He was strong, and even though he thought he felt sorry for her and used gentle force, it still made Lin Shu's face pale with pain.

She felt that it would be better not to rub it. Rubbing it would be a sharp short pain, while not rubbing it might cause a long pain.

She would rather suffer a long pain than a short pain like having her bones crushed by Lu Shaotang.

When she couldn't hold back and wanted to curse, Lu Shaotang finally said, "It's not a bone injury. It will be fine after a few days of rest."

Fang Dihua felt sorry for her third daughter-in-law, so she went to steam chicken egg custard for her.

Tiantian and Panpan sat next to Lin Shu and comforted her in a baby voice.

Tiantian imitated Fang Dihua and gently stroked Lin Shu's hair, muttering: "Touch the fur, it won't scare you, kang grandma, please bless me, stove prince, please bless me too..."

Panpan peeled the best White Rabbit milk candy and fed it to Lin Shu, "Mom, if you eat candy, Tiantian won't be afraid. Huzi said he eats when he's scared."

Mrs. Qiu was very happy to see Lu Shaotang come back, and after talking for a while, she led the other children away.

Soon, Lu's wife came back with a few children.

Many members followed the militia company to the commune to watch the excitement. Lu Ping and Lu Cuicui also went, but were pulled back by Lu's wife. However

, Lu's eldest brother and second brother accompanied the branch secretary and the team leader to the commune revolutionary committee.

Many women in the village came to care about Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang. Aunt Li, Wang Pozi and others even gave her a few eggs to surprise her. Some were just gossiping and wanted to know all the details so that they could show off the information they had to their relatives and friends.

Except for those who had a good relationship with her on a daily basis, Fang Dihua rejected everyone else because her third daughter-in-law needed to rest.

Xu Xiaoyou came to comfort her sister-in-law with two eggs in her arms, which made her feel so distressed that she burst into tears.

Tiantian and Panpan also shed tears, feeling sorry for their mother.

Lin Shu hurriedly said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. It won't hurt at all as long as you don't walk."

Panpan immediately shouted, "Dad, Mom can't walk, you have to take good care of her!"

Lu Shaotang: "Okay."

He asked Lin Shu not to get off the kang and let him do whatever he wanted.

Lin Shu: "..." You can't go to the toilet for me either.

Fang Dihua was very unhappy when she saw that Lu Hehuan didn't come. Xu Xiaoyou explained that she wanted to come too. Her brother suddenly had a fever, and her mother sent him to the commune clinic.

Xu's mother refused to go to Lu's father for treatment again, because he didn't give free treatment and she refused to let him make money.

After dinner, Lin Shu asked Lu's sister-in-law to send Xu Xiaoyou back and send clothes as well.

Lu's sister-in-law came back and said that Xu Yaoyao did have a fever. Lin Aidi also caught a cold and was sick these days. She had been bedridden. She said she didn't come to get clothes because she was afraid of infecting her.

Lin Shu's feet looked very serious. After Lu Shaotang's timely and correct treatment, they were much better by the evening. Her ankles didn't feel uncomfortable without exerting force, but her toenails were sore.

In order to let her have a good rest, Fang Dihua took the two children to her room. At first, Lin Shu couldn't sleep, so Lu Shaotang massaged a few acupuncture points for her, and she fell asleep while massaging.

When she woke up in the morning, the scabs on her toenails felt less painful.

Brother Lu and the secretary and others came back early in the morning and came directly to Lu Shaotang.

Before making breakfast, Fang Dihua boiled water for them to make egg drop soup, and everyone gathered in Brother Lu's room to listen to them.

Xu Ermao also confessed the case three years ago.

During the wheat harvest in summer, everyone was either working in the fields or in the farm. Even the infants were taken to the farm by the elderly to be taken care of. There was hardly a single idle person in the village.

Shuilian was in a bad mood because of a quarrel with her parents. She didn't like to talk to them for a few days and didn't work with them.

At noon, she returned home from the farm and was killed by Xu Ermao among the haystacks and trees.

After she confessed, Xu Ermao cried and said that he didn't mean to kill anyone. He was simply scared and didn't know what to do, so he dug a deep pit to bury her, piled a lot of miscellaneous wood on top, and then piled haystacks on top. In the past

few years, he was very scared and guilty. Whenever he had time, he would go to chop wood and pile it on top, for fear of being discovered.

"I'm not a murderer, I don't want to kill, I didn't mean to..."

"I was too scared, I..."

This kind of gangster who was caught on the spot, in this era, even if he didn't kill anyone, as long as the woman testified that he was a gangster, he might be shot, let alone he killed someone.

The commune directly detained him, but unfortunately it was not suitable to hold a commune meeting to shoot criminals on Laba, so they just waited until the first month of the year to shoot him!

Fang Dihua asked a few people to stay for breakfast, but they refused. After talking about business, they chatted with Lu Shaotang for a few words and left.

Because of Xu Ermao, more than a dozen families in Houtun were uneasy.

At first, Xu Ermao's parents cried and knelt down to beg for mercy. Later, when they saw that their son must have been shot, they seemed to have lost their souls. Xu Ermao's mother collapsed and lay down without eating or drinking, waiting to die.

Xu Ermao's father squatted on the ground holding his head and said nothing.

The angry mother of the water lotus led other angry women to rush into Xu Ermao's house and pulled out half of Xu Ermao's mother's hair. Blood was gushing out. Xu Ermao's father was beaten so hard that his ear was cut. They also smashed the food jars, pots and pans, and the papered windows in the house!

The house was in a mess.

Xu Ermao's father didn't know what to do in the future.

Shame, panic, heartache, shock... At the same time, there was a weird feeling that it was finally like this.

A family of three lived together, seeing each other day and night, how could they not know what their son was like as a parent?

If they didn't know, they just deliberately didn't want to know. If they knew, they would just pretend they didn't know.

So the women didn't think they were innocent at all. They even complained to the commune, asking them to arrest Xu Ermao's parents and interrogate them to see if they had conspired with their son to commit murder.

Although this incident caused a sensation, it did not affect the New Year's atmosphere of most families.

People's suffering is not the same. No matter how miserable, pitiful, or painful others are, it will not affect their lives. They have to celebrate the New Year as they should. It is impossible for them to be immersed in anger and grief because of the Xu family's affairs. Just like

when the news of Lu Shaotang's sacrifice came, others would sympathize, sigh, and feel pity, but it would not affect their lives.

Lu Xiuxiu can go home today. Fang Dihua was worried, so she asked Lu's wife to ride a bicycle to pick her up.

The men were busy killing the pigs.

Big Brother Lu was a carefree man, and he teased Lu Shaotang, "Third brother, now that you're back, we don't need to hire someone to kill the pigs anymore, right? I think it's better for you to do it." Lu

Shaotang glanced at him coldly, and Big Brother Lu went to find Wang Mazi to kill the pigs.
