The gunshot was not very loud, and there were a few poplar trees around that blocked the sound.
They ran over, and these two or three hundred meters were not easy to walk. The girl curled up on the ground was about eleven or eleven years old, and bullets shot through her left rib. Pressing under her, the blood-stained soil had become paste.
The thin man squatted down and observed the girl. The girl's mouth was slightly open, and the sound was very small, and the corners of dry leaves were stuck to the corners of her mouth. He lifted the girl's clothes and applied the small rib shape to the blood. One of the ribs was broken, and the slight protrusions of the bones could be seen through the skin.
He was obviously panicked and reached out to grab the side of his backpack. He said, "Where is my kettle?" The man with flat head stood one meter away and said, "I don't know." The thin man said in anger, "Where did you put after drinking just now? There was no in the car." Their car was parked two kilometers away, in a bush on the side of the road. Through the bushes, a hard plant grew on the edge of this sparse meadow, with a layer of wax wrapped in the outermost layer, and the skinny's pants had been hooked out of two cracks. His face is covered with beards, which is a rare body hair feature in the Central Plains.
Flat-headed man: "You can drink mine."
"I don't fucking drink your water."
"Don't worry, you're still alive." The flat-headed man looked at the girl lying on the ground.
Skinny had already taken out the thirst glue from his bag. He wiped the girl's ribs with a towel, but when the towel touched the skin, a small stream of blood would be squeezed out from the broken ribs.
"Damn it." he said.
Skinny's eyes are covered with sweat. He used twenty-cm long thirty-two-cm long thirty-glue glue and applied four or five pieces of bullet holes as the core until blood no longer oozed out of the thirty-glue glue. But as long as the skin is still wet, bleeding is a matter of time sooner or later. So he tore off a small piece of towel and covered it with heavy glue.
The flat-headed man was wearing a dark blue jacket. He wanted to do something, but considering the skinny man's mood at this time, he felt that he still did nothing. He said, "This girl is very beautiful."
"Shut your dick's mouth!" After putting on the towel, the skinny man stood up and tried to move the girl's feet. There was already a small piece of mud under her, looking shocking.
Skinny man said, "I want to drive the car over."
"Then what?"
"Take her to the hospital."
flat-headed man looked at the girl sadly and said, "All the rabbits we have ever shot, if they are taken back, they can still survive."
"Close your dick and follow it." said, "She said.
"Don't call me, I told you to wait a while, and if you don't listen, you can't wait for a second more for anything you do." The flat-headed man said, but he had already begun to try to move the girl's shoulders, but this was not feasible because the thirsty glue could be easily squeezed away. In addition to rabbits, there is also a small roe deer in the
area. If you are lucky, you can encounter a group of wild boars. This group of wild boars are skewers raised by villagers after entering the mountainous area. Sometimes they will go up the mountain to hunt, but they can't kill them all because this mountainous area is too vast. They bought the two air guns from a man selling marijuana. Many people would come here from the city to hunt hares, of course this is forbidden. If found by local villagers, each hare needs to pay them one hundred yuan.
The flat-headed man squatted on the ground. He moved his feet, afraid of stepping on the red one on the ground. He watched his car slowly drive over the bumpy road.
Skinny stopped the car and laid a moisture-proof mat in the back seat. The two of them carefully carried the girl to the back seat. The thin man covered another moisture-proof cushion on the girl. The girl's face was pale, and her delicate nose was the only clean part on her face. The thin man used her cuff to wipe off the debris on the corners of her mouth.
Then the two got into the car. The flat-headed man sat in the passenger seat. He said, "She is either dead or holds for up to twenty minutes. It takes an hour to go to a town to get to the nearest hospital. There is only a doctor in their village who treats corns."
thin man licked his lips that were as dry as oily as skin.
"So what?" The thin man observed from the mirror to see if the girl was so bumped.
"There is no way."
"What should I do?"
flat-headed man touched his teeth and said, "I found a place to throw it away."
thin man said, "I will shoot you in the forehead and throw you down."
"We can't do the current situation."
and they continued to drive, and the road was baked in a browned color by sunlight. The tractors ran along the way, and they passed through two tractors, and the loud noise from the engine was annoying.
A motorcycle ran over from behind them, and the man riding the motorcycle looked back at them.
Slim man slowed down the car. He said, "He looked at?"
"No, he saw nothing."
"Then why look back at our cars?"
"He just looked at every car, he looked at nothing."
thin man parked the car on the side of the road and got out of the car. The flat-headed man held a bottle of water in the passenger seat and shouted, "Your kettle."
The thin man looked at the front and back of the dirt road, without any sign of a car. He said, "Get down and put her in the trunk." The tin foil of the
moisture-proof pad was rubbed on it, but the color looked light. They rolled the girl up with moisture-proof pads, and a small stream of blood flowed down along the rolled moisture-proof pads, which was probably the last small stream of blood. They quickly dragged her into the trunk and closed the carriage.
Skinny looked at if there was anything on the back seat, rubbed the red color on the sand and leaned against the car door to smoke.
flat-headed man is looking at the map from his mobile phone.
The thin man looked at the shriveled road. The wasteland on both sides had not rained for a long time, and the smell of burning paper was emitted. The tractor that they had been surpassed by
was slowly coming from the rear. A woman sat on the side of the tractor seat and said, "Is the car broken?" The man with flat head replied, "No, let's take a look." The woman of
: "What's good to look at?"
and the tractor drove over.
The thin man stared at a gradually fading black smoke from the tractor, and he extinguished the cigarette. He said, "I don't even know who she is." The flat-headed man was still looking at the map, "It's weird if you know."
"There will be someone to come to find her." said the thin man.
"Not necessarily, all the men and women in this village have gone to the city, and no one has the energy to find her."
"I will come, and I will come to find her at night."
"Nonsense, they just pretended that she ran away. If they wanted to find her, they would look for her tomorrow, and no one could find her."
"You want to throw her into a pit?"
"It's not me, it's you, you have to throw her."
thin man blinked, and his sweat was squeezed onto cheekbones . He said, "There will be someone looking for her, I have to know who she is." The flat-headed man got out of the car. He walked to the rear of the car and looked at him, stood in front of the thin man, and said, "You think it was a roe deer, or a rabbit. I didn't know it was like this before shooting, so there might not be any mistakes."
thin man: "I didn't say what I made a mistake, I have to know who she is."
"She is the person who lives here, eleven or twelve years old, what else do you want to know?"
"You are so bad enough." ' . "
"I'm helping you. "
" Come on, you can leave now, it has nothing to do with you. You didn't shoot, I've fired it. "
" There are many people who commit suicide in the village. When the old man gets sick, he will go to the mountain to live, no one cares. We find a remote place and buried her. Then," he looked at his watch, "We went to the city at eleven o'clock, find a place to drink, and you will forget it in a week."
" A good idea." said the thin man.
They returned to the car, but the thin man turned the front of the car and drove back.
"I have to leave you alone, you can mess things up." said the flat-headed man.
"It's not your business," said the thin man.
Skinny parked his car about a kilometer away from them entering the sand, hiding behind a few shrubs, which was a piece of shade. He opened the trunk a slit to prevent it from rotting too quickly.
"Can it be hot in the car." The flat-headed man crawled out of the co-pilot and said.
They walked towards the place where the incident happened, but the surroundings were too similar to the location where they shot. So they found a wild apricot tree and sat down. The thin man unscrewed the water bottle and poured it all into his mouth.
"In less than a week, you can go to the performance again." said the flat-headed man.
"Don't talk quickly." The thin man looked in a general direction.
"How many girls have you slept with?"
"I fuck your mom."
"How many? Remember to mention it once, there are sixty or seventy, right?"
"Why can't you close your pussy?"
"I don't know what you are afraid of. You made sixty or seventy girls, how do you know that you didn't kill one or two of them?"
"I can kick you in the face from here."
"Since just now, I have always felt that your conscience is pretending." The flat-headed man moved to the side.
The thin man stared at him angrily.
flat-headed man said, "If you don't pretend to be like this, you can't accept it yourself. In fact, you don't care about the life or death of this girl."
"I didn't pretend, you fuck me."
"Why didn't you go to the hospital while you were still alive?"
"Because you said she was dying."
"Yes, she was dying, so you drove the car very slowly and waited for her to die, because you could not run away because you died in the hospital."
"This road is not easy to walk on, it's all a pit, and it's not repaired at all."
"This road is not easy to walk on, it's all a trap, it's not repaired at all."
"This road is not easy to walk on, it's all easy to repair. OK. "
" It has nothing to do with this. You can drive very fast or slow, and then wait for her to die, and then feel uneasy for a few days. The good things in the world are all yours, just like the sixty or seventy girls you slept with. "
" They came to the door. I didn't want to shoot anyone to death today, thinking it was a roe deer. "
" So it's time to find a place to bury it. You can't do shameful things, but you have to have a sense of moral superiority. "
's skinny man suddenly rushed up and punched the flat-headed man's face. A small truck drove by in the distance.
"You just want me to fuck you, right?" said the thin man viciously.
"What do you know?"
thin man sat back. The flat-headed man rubbed his cheekbones, and his nose was slightly bleeding, and he smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" said the thin man.
"No."
"What are you laughing?"
"I didn't laugh, why are you still laughing after being beaten?"
"Because I held my handle?"
"No, I didn't laugh, I hurt here." The flat-headed man rubbed his face with his palm.
"If you threaten me, you can shoot you." The thin man said calmly.
"Of course, courage, morality, and talent are all yours."
"So what?"
"Not a big deal, I just say it casually, you are very good and perfect."
"It's so fucking disgusting, it's so fucking disgusting to sit here with you." The thin man spit out a mouthful of thick saliva.
The flat-headed man leaned his body back and put his ears on the bark. He moved his head up and down and said, "I just realized that my ears were itchy. Rubbing the bark was the most comfortable."
thin man looked at the road in the distance.
flat-headed man: "My ears always itch for no reason. It seems that I am going home to buy a piece of bark."
On the road, a tractor was driving at an exaggerated speed. The thin man took out his telescope and held it in front of him. He saw a middle-aged man looking around on the tractor.
thin man said, "Here you come."
"What are you going to do? Go up and ask?" the flat-headed man said contemptuously.
tractors are not much faster than walking, and they walk quickly to their parking place. After the car started, it only drove five hundred meters before catching up with the tractor.
thin man looked very nervous. He held his breath before rolling down the car window and spoke to the middle-aged man: "What's wrong?"
"The crawler is almost broken." The middle-aged man said dryly, his skin was like a smashed marble table, and his left hand was cut off from his wrist.
"Do you want help?" said the thin man.
"You can't help."
" What are you looking at left and right? What's wrong with "
"? "
" nothing, I thought you wanted to find someone to help. "
" No matter what I want, I will find someone if I need help. "The middle-aged man said.
thin man drove away. Not long after, he passed by a fork that divided a path and led to a barren land.
thin man said to the flat-headed man: "Shut up. "
" I said nothing. "
" knows what you want to say. "
" Did I say anything? "
" just shut up. "
Skinny got out of the car, walked to the trunk, opened it, he lifted up the moisture-proof mat, looked at the girl's pale face, her nose was like the snow mountain in the photo, he couldn't imagine that he had beaten the girl to death. On the girl's body that was not covered by the moisture-proof mat, the blood was dried up, and he saw that the girl had whipped scars and bruises on the abdomen.
Skinny didn't drive towards the small road, they drove towards the direction of the village.
It was dark. There was probably only fifty or sixty families living in this village, there was a small shop, and the sign of the supply and marketing cooperative in 1999 was posted. After the skinny smoked the last cigarette, he entered the supply and marketing cooperative.
"What's the cigarette?" "The thin man said. On the simple shelves, there were inferior cakes and snacks that seemed to have expired for a long time. A woman with greasy hair appeared in
.
"That's all the same. "The woman pointed her hand at the wooden board behind her.
" yellow. "
The woman grabbed the cigarette, handed it to the thin man, took out one from under the container, pulled out two packs of cigarettes from it and placed it on the wooden board behind her.
" When is the door closed? "Skinny said.
" is closed after sleeping. What time is "
"? "
" When to go to bed, just close at what time, and go to bed later. "The woman said.
"What did you talk about in it just now? "The thin man heard something when he entered the door, and he was very alert. The woman looked at him in surprise, as if she was looking at a madman. "Are you still buying something? "
" I bought something to eat. Is there a place to eat here? "
" does not. There are restaurants in the town. "
thin man walked to the shelf and pinched two packets of oily cakes.
woman pulled off a red plastic bag and put the cake in. She said, "There is a girl who hasn't gone home, and her uncle hasn't found it yet. "A man's rough laughter came from
: "I'm so anxious. "
" has not been found yet? "The thin man asked guiltily.
" No. What will happen to "
"? "
" is not a big deal, maybe I went to the city to find her parents. "
" Shouldn't you say it? "The rough voice in
came out again, "Hahaha, I can't leave after I say it. What does "
" mean? "
The woman pushed the plastic bag and said, "There is no accommodation here, so leave quickly." "
The thin man left the store with a plastic bag.
He returned to the car, opened the plastic bag, took out a bag and threw it to the flat-headed man.
"What is this thing? "The flat-headed man pushed the cake away like he was avoiding cockroaches.
"If you don't eat it, you'll be hungry. "The thin man tore open the packaging bag and swallowed it a few times.
and drove to check. There was really no place to eat in the village, and it was impossible for the thin man to have it because the thin man didn't know what he wanted to see.
Then, the extremely slow tractor entered the village. The sound of the dying engine could be heard one hundred meters away.
Skinny got out of the car and hid in a corner. There was no light on the small road in the village. The supply and marketing cooperative was opposite the road, the woman was locking the door, and her man was moving the rag at the door back to the house.
"Have you found it?" "The woman said to the man who drove the tractor.
"No." "The man sat on the tractor without looking back.
" Did he call? "
" hit. "
The woman didn't ask again. After the tractor walked away, the thin man heard the man's rough laughter again, which was like a smaller version of the tractor engine. After the supply and marketing cooperative closed, the woman and her man walked back.
The thin man followed the tractor along another path and listened to the sound of the tractor.
He followed the tractor to the yard in a corner of the village.He watched the man get off the tractor and opened the door with one hand, but the door was not locked. As the tractor entered the yard, the skinny man walked back.
He came to the parking place and entered the cab. He glanced at the cake in front of the flat-headed man and took a bite. The thin man drove his car towards the exit of the village.
"I vomited all of them." said the flat-headed man.
The car was parked next to a shelf on the side of the road, and there were several large hay stacks.
"Get out of the car with me." said the thin man.
"Where to go?"
"Go to her house."
"What to do? Saving?"
thin man took the air gun and got out of the car directly. The flat-headed man stepped down reluctantly. The thin man checked the airsoft.
They walked along the path mixed with stones and sand to the entrance of the yard.
flat-headed man whispered, "What are you going to do? If I don't say it, I'll go back."
thin man said, "I want to judge him."
flat-headed man was happy. The door of
has been locked from inside. They easily climbed over the wall. The thin man stood in front of the door, listening to the movement inside, and the sound of a wine bottle knocking on the table. He didn't knock on the door, but pushed it straight in.
This is a room that is simpler than that container. All the furniture is worn out and the walls seem to be rotten. Fortunately, there is a 60-watt light bulb directly above the dining table, which can cover seven or eight square meters of illumination.
Middle-aged man looked at them and touched an axe from under the chair with wood chips on it.
"I have nothing," he said.
The thin man walked to the other side of the table, placed the air gun on the table, and pointed the gun at the man's empty left hand. The flat-headed man found a bench next to him and sat down. There were walnut shells on the ground and some animal fluffs.
"What do you want?" The middle-aged man's cut-off arm reached under the table.
"Living alone?" said the thin man.
"There is a niece." said the middle-aged man.
"Where?"
"Run."
"Where did you go?"
"I don't know."
"Why did you run?"
"Why did you run?"
"I can't eat well here, I went to the city to find my parents." The middle-aged man glanced at the breath gun and put the axe on the table. He knew that he could not deal with the young people.
The thin man looked into the man's eyes and said, "How are you treating her?"
"Good to her."
"I don't hear that."
"Don't listen to the people at the entrance of the village saying that you are from the city and don't know the situation in the village. People here like to talk nonsense." The middle-aged man took a sip of wine. The smell of inferior wine can float over one meter.
The flat-headed man said to the thin man, "What are you asking? Such a posture."
"You have to listen to him." said the thin man.
"What did I say? Look at the place where I live." said the middle-aged man.
"I saw it as soon as I entered the door, I don't care about this." said the thin man.
"Did you see her?" the man said.
"I'm seeing you."
"Where is it?"
"In my car." The thin man frowned.
"She looks pretty. Do you want to buy it? I can go and talk to her parents." said the middle-aged man.
The flat-headed man stared at the ground, "Okay." He flipped a walnut shell, "Don't ask anymore, it's meaningless, why do you care what others have done?"
"Because I didn't mean it." The thin man said to the flat-headed man.
"Unintentionally! Fucked," the flat-headed man seemed to be angry, "You just want to argue, you are very good, because her uncle raped her every day, you saved her, right? Do you want to argue this? I wasn't embarrassed to be sure just now, do you really want to argue this?" said the flat-headed man.
"What's wrong with her?" said the middle-aged man sipped his wine.
"I'm not bad, I just want to hear you tell me what happened to you." The thin man hunched his back.
The middle-aged man touched his nose with his hand and said, "It's all like this here."
"What's the fuck?" The thin man was furious.
"I only have one hand, I can't find a woman, and his parents don't care about anything."
The thin man was still recalling the man's words. At this time, the flat-headed man stood up and said, "No, he didn't want to ask you this, he wanted to ask you, is the eleven-year-old girl happy? He has only found the youngest one, and he just wants to ask you if you feel good. "
The thin man stared at the flat-headed man, and the flat-headed man said, "No? Right, is this? "
The middle-aged man said, "I have no choice. "
thin man feels like he is doing nothing.
flat-headed man seemed very excited and said, "Are you here to judge others?" What do you think? He admits that he is worse than pigs and dogs? Then what? Then what? Admit it and then what? I can also admit that I am inferior to pigs and dogs. I have raped my roommate. How about it? Admitted, how about it? "
The thin man held up the gun and said to the flat-headed man, "You really, don't say another word. "
" You have to listen, I don't love you anymore, you are so disgusting. "
Middle-aged man: "It turns out he was a person who was having an asshole. "
The flat-headed man said to the middle-aged man fiercely: "Get out of here!" "
The flat-headed man turned his head and said to the thin man, "I helped you with the performance. I have long seen that there is something wrong with your sexual orientation, but now I find that you are much more evil in your bones, and you can always make up for yourself from somewhere else. Look at this person, take a look, take a closer look. "The flat-headed man walked to the middle-aged man and continued, "You are just doing so well and performing a lot. A large group of people are surrounding you. I'm tired of taking medicine. Okay, I finally came to hunt, and I've come to this point. Why do you judge him? "
" Why can't I judge him? He tortured an eleven-year-old girl. "The thin man said. The flat-headed man was emotionally excited. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Why torture her? "
" No, didn't torture her. "The middle-aged man defended.
" But everyone in the village knew that we also discovered that you have not tortured her yet? "The flat-headed man said.
"I'm not torturing her, she doesn't have to worry about food and drink. "The middle-aged man said.
"This is your judgment," the flat-headed man sat back on the bench, "This room is the most filthy place in the world, and there is still someone who wants to judge. "
The thin man's sweat dripped down his chin and fell onto the air gun.
Middle-aged man: "What's wrong with her?" "
The thin man held the gun behind his back. He walked to the west of the room, where there was a dirty bed. He turned on the light, and the light bulb flashed twice and it became very dim. He saw scratches on the wall and all kinds of dark stains. He felt very panic. He glanced at the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man continued to drink. There was a plastic urinal on the ground, and the thin man said, "You don't pour the urinal by yourself, right? "
The middle-aged man said, "I won't fall." "
thin man said: "I thought it was a roe deer, so I fired the gun, and now she is in the trunk. "
The middle-aged man said: "What is the trunk?" "
flat-headed man said, "There are things on the back of the car. "
" is dead? "The middle-aged man asked. The thin man said, "Carry her over." "He left the dim area of the bed and walked to the dining table, "Let's go, carry her in." "He pressed his hand on the gun and said to the middle-aged man, "Don't shout outside, I'll shoot if I shout. "
flat-headed man said, "Let's go." "
The middle-aged man took a flashlight from the windowsill, and the three of them opened the door and went out. They followed the path, and the light of the flashlight formed a circle on the dirt road, swaying.
In a few minutes, he walked to the haystacks, and the thin man opened the trunk.
The flat-headed man looked at the trunk, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I won't go back, just wait in the car. Anyway, he won't report you, otherwise he will be in trouble. "
thin man glanced at the girl. When the moisture-proof cushion was still covering her face, he felt the bright stone nose. He said in disappointment: "We are always safe. "
flat-headed man rubbed his eyes and said, "Yes, it's always safe."
Skinny man lifted the moisture-proof mat and hugged the girl out. Under the moonlight, her small nose reflected a fluorescent gray-blue color. He had been waiting to see the small orchid again for a long time. He didn't know whether this was a redemption or a permanent punishment.
Then he followed the dirt road. The middle-aged man walked in front and shone the flashlight. The thin man hugged the girl and followed behind.
He grabbed the girl's arm, but it was not that cold. The girl's face was just blood-colored, but the body temperature was not so icy that it was heart-wrenching. After he grabbed her slender arm, his thumb could still be placed on his index finger. He thought again that he killed her with an air gun.
returned to the yard, and the middle-aged man signaled to put the girl on the bed. The thin man said, "No. "
So the man took out a straw mat from under the bed and spread it on the ground. The thin man didn't want to put the girl back on the bed, and the ugly urinal was placed under the end of the bed, so even though the straw mat was tattered, he still put the girl down.
middle-aged man said, "Where are you playing? "
The thin man pointed at the girl's ribs. The middle-aged man stretched out his right hand and lifted the girl's clothes. The thin man finally got furious and kicked the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man turned around and sneered, "I understand. "
" understands what? "
" If I don't say it, you understand. "
The middle-aged man looked at the girl and said, "This gunshot wound cannot be killed, and she is not dead either. "
The thin man squatted down and checked the girl's breathing.
middle-aged man said, "She has a problem with the trachea and has always been weak and can't feel it. "
The thin man sat on the ground.
"You go, I'll call a doctor. It's hard to kill someone with a gun like you, and you'll scare me for a long time. "The middle-aged man laughed.
" She just stayed here? "Skinny said.
"Otherwise, where will you go?" She lives here, you go, I won't pursue you anymore. If you think it doesn't work, leave two thousand yuan. "The middle-aged man sat back on the table and drank the last sip of the wine bottle.
On the way toward the car, the road was extremely long. The thin man tilted against the wall twice, and his shirt rubbed layer by layer of loess.
He stumbled to the side of the car, and the flat-headed man came out of the co-pilot.
Thin man said: "She is not dead. "
flat-headed man looked at him coldly and said, "I'm driving." "He sat in the driving position, rolled down the window, threw out the cake that had bitten off. He looked at his watch and said to the thin man, "I can go to the city at 2:30, have some food to go home and sleep. "
thin man leaned on the back of the chair. He felt very sleepy and the car fell asleep after driving for a few kilometers.

"There is no way."
"What should I do?"
flat-headed man touched his teeth and said, "I found a place to throw it away."
thin man said, "I will shoot you in the forehead and throw you down."
"We can't do the current situation."
and they continued to drive, and the road was baked in a browned color by sunlight. The tractors ran along the way, and they passed through two tractors, and the loud noise from the engine was annoying.
A motorcycle ran over from behind them, and the man riding the motorcycle looked back at them.
Slim man slowed down the car. He said, "He looked at?"
"No, he saw nothing."
"Then why look back at our cars?"
"He just looked at every car, he looked at nothing."
thin man parked the car on the side of the road and got out of the car. The flat-headed man held a bottle of water in the passenger seat and shouted, "Your kettle."
The thin man looked at the front and back of the dirt road, without any sign of a car. He said, "Get down and put her in the trunk." The tin foil of the
moisture-proof pad was rubbed on it, but the color looked light. They rolled the girl up with moisture-proof pads, and a small stream of blood flowed down along the rolled moisture-proof pads, which was probably the last small stream of blood. They quickly dragged her into the trunk and closed the carriage.
Skinny looked at if there was anything on the back seat, rubbed the red color on the sand and leaned against the car door to smoke.
flat-headed man is looking at the map from his mobile phone.
The thin man looked at the shriveled road. The wasteland on both sides had not rained for a long time, and the smell of burning paper was emitted. The tractor that they had been surpassed by
was slowly coming from the rear. A woman sat on the side of the tractor seat and said, "Is the car broken?" The man with flat head replied, "No, let's take a look." The woman of
: "What's good to look at?"
and the tractor drove over.
The thin man stared at a gradually fading black smoke from the tractor, and he extinguished the cigarette. He said, "I don't even know who she is." The flat-headed man was still looking at the map, "It's weird if you know."
"There will be someone to come to find her." said the thin man.
"Not necessarily, all the men and women in this village have gone to the city, and no one has the energy to find her."
"I will come, and I will come to find her at night."
"Nonsense, they just pretended that she ran away. If they wanted to find her, they would look for her tomorrow, and no one could find her."
"You want to throw her into a pit?"
"It's not me, it's you, you have to throw her."
thin man blinked, and his sweat was squeezed onto cheekbones . He said, "There will be someone looking for her, I have to know who she is." The flat-headed man got out of the car. He walked to the rear of the car and looked at him, stood in front of the thin man, and said, "You think it was a roe deer, or a rabbit. I didn't know it was like this before shooting, so there might not be any mistakes."
thin man: "I didn't say what I made a mistake, I have to know who she is."
"She is the person who lives here, eleven or twelve years old, what else do you want to know?"
"You are so bad enough." ' . "
"I'm helping you. "
" Come on, you can leave now, it has nothing to do with you. You didn't shoot, I've fired it. "
" There are many people who commit suicide in the village. When the old man gets sick, he will go to the mountain to live, no one cares. We find a remote place and buried her. Then," he looked at his watch, "We went to the city at eleven o'clock, find a place to drink, and you will forget it in a week."
" A good idea." said the thin man.
They returned to the car, but the thin man turned the front of the car and drove back.
"I have to leave you alone, you can mess things up." said the flat-headed man.
"It's not your business," said the thin man.
Skinny parked his car about a kilometer away from them entering the sand, hiding behind a few shrubs, which was a piece of shade. He opened the trunk a slit to prevent it from rotting too quickly.
"Can it be hot in the car." The flat-headed man crawled out of the co-pilot and said.
They walked towards the place where the incident happened, but the surroundings were too similar to the location where they shot. So they found a wild apricot tree and sat down. The thin man unscrewed the water bottle and poured it all into his mouth.
"In less than a week, you can go to the performance again." said the flat-headed man.
"Don't talk quickly." The thin man looked in a general direction.
"How many girls have you slept with?"
"I fuck your mom."
"How many? Remember to mention it once, there are sixty or seventy, right?"
"Why can't you close your pussy?"
"I don't know what you are afraid of. You made sixty or seventy girls, how do you know that you didn't kill one or two of them?"
"I can kick you in the face from here."
"Since just now, I have always felt that your conscience is pretending." The flat-headed man moved to the side.
The thin man stared at him angrily.
flat-headed man said, "If you don't pretend to be like this, you can't accept it yourself. In fact, you don't care about the life or death of this girl."
"I didn't pretend, you fuck me."
"Why didn't you go to the hospital while you were still alive?"
"Because you said she was dying."
"Yes, she was dying, so you drove the car very slowly and waited for her to die, because you could not run away because you died in the hospital."
"This road is not easy to walk on, it's all a pit, and it's not repaired at all."
"This road is not easy to walk on, it's all a trap, it's not repaired at all."
"This road is not easy to walk on, it's all easy to repair. OK. "
" It has nothing to do with this. You can drive very fast or slow, and then wait for her to die, and then feel uneasy for a few days. The good things in the world are all yours, just like the sixty or seventy girls you slept with. "
" They came to the door. I didn't want to shoot anyone to death today, thinking it was a roe deer. "
" So it's time to find a place to bury it. You can't do shameful things, but you have to have a sense of moral superiority. "
's skinny man suddenly rushed up and punched the flat-headed man's face. A small truck drove by in the distance.
"You just want me to fuck you, right?" said the thin man viciously.
"What do you know?"
thin man sat back. The flat-headed man rubbed his cheekbones, and his nose was slightly bleeding, and he smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" said the thin man.
"No."
"What are you laughing?"
"I didn't laugh, why are you still laughing after being beaten?"
"Because I held my handle?"
"No, I didn't laugh, I hurt here." The flat-headed man rubbed his face with his palm.
"If you threaten me, you can shoot you." The thin man said calmly.
"Of course, courage, morality, and talent are all yours."
"So what?"
"Not a big deal, I just say it casually, you are very good and perfect."
"It's so fucking disgusting, it's so fucking disgusting to sit here with you." The thin man spit out a mouthful of thick saliva.
The flat-headed man leaned his body back and put his ears on the bark. He moved his head up and down and said, "I just realized that my ears were itchy. Rubbing the bark was the most comfortable."
thin man looked at the road in the distance.
flat-headed man: "My ears always itch for no reason. It seems that I am going home to buy a piece of bark."
On the road, a tractor was driving at an exaggerated speed. The thin man took out his telescope and held it in front of him. He saw a middle-aged man looking around on the tractor.
thin man said, "Here you come."
"What are you going to do? Go up and ask?" the flat-headed man said contemptuously.
tractors are not much faster than walking, and they walk quickly to their parking place. After the car started, it only drove five hundred meters before catching up with the tractor.
thin man looked very nervous. He held his breath before rolling down the car window and spoke to the middle-aged man: "What's wrong?"
"The crawler is almost broken." The middle-aged man said dryly, his skin was like a smashed marble table, and his left hand was cut off from his wrist.
"Do you want help?" said the thin man.
"You can't help."
" What are you looking at left and right? What's wrong with "
"? "
" nothing, I thought you wanted to find someone to help. "
" No matter what I want, I will find someone if I need help. "The middle-aged man said.
thin man drove away. Not long after, he passed by a fork that divided a path and led to a barren land.
thin man said to the flat-headed man: "Shut up. "
" I said nothing. "
" knows what you want to say. "
" Did I say anything? "
" just shut up. "
Skinny got out of the car, walked to the trunk, opened it, he lifted up the moisture-proof mat, looked at the girl's pale face, her nose was like the snow mountain in the photo, he couldn't imagine that he had beaten the girl to death. On the girl's body that was not covered by the moisture-proof mat, the blood was dried up, and he saw that the girl had whipped scars and bruises on the abdomen.
Skinny didn't drive towards the small road, they drove towards the direction of the village.
It was dark. There was probably only fifty or sixty families living in this village, there was a small shop, and the sign of the supply and marketing cooperative in 1999 was posted. After the skinny smoked the last cigarette, he entered the supply and marketing cooperative.
"What's the cigarette?" "The thin man said. On the simple shelves, there were inferior cakes and snacks that seemed to have expired for a long time. A woman with greasy hair appeared in
.
"That's all the same. "The woman pointed her hand at the wooden board behind her.
" yellow. "
The woman grabbed the cigarette, handed it to the thin man, took out one from under the container, pulled out two packs of cigarettes from it and placed it on the wooden board behind her.
" When is the door closed? "Skinny said.
" is closed after sleeping. What time is "
"? "
" When to go to bed, just close at what time, and go to bed later. "The woman said.
"What did you talk about in it just now? "The thin man heard something when he entered the door, and he was very alert. The woman looked at him in surprise, as if she was looking at a madman. "Are you still buying something? "
" I bought something to eat. Is there a place to eat here? "
" does not. There are restaurants in the town. "
thin man walked to the shelf and pinched two packets of oily cakes.
woman pulled off a red plastic bag and put the cake in. She said, "There is a girl who hasn't gone home, and her uncle hasn't found it yet. "A man's rough laughter came from
: "I'm so anxious. "
" has not been found yet? "The thin man asked guiltily.
" No. What will happen to "
"? "
" is not a big deal, maybe I went to the city to find her parents. "
" Shouldn't you say it? "The rough voice in
came out again, "Hahaha, I can't leave after I say it. What does "
" mean? "
The woman pushed the plastic bag and said, "There is no accommodation here, so leave quickly." "
The thin man left the store with a plastic bag.
He returned to the car, opened the plastic bag, took out a bag and threw it to the flat-headed man.
"What is this thing? "The flat-headed man pushed the cake away like he was avoiding cockroaches.
"If you don't eat it, you'll be hungry. "The thin man tore open the packaging bag and swallowed it a few times.
and drove to check. There was really no place to eat in the village, and it was impossible for the thin man to have it because the thin man didn't know what he wanted to see.
Then, the extremely slow tractor entered the village. The sound of the dying engine could be heard one hundred meters away.
Skinny got out of the car and hid in a corner. There was no light on the small road in the village. The supply and marketing cooperative was opposite the road, the woman was locking the door, and her man was moving the rag at the door back to the house.
"Have you found it?" "The woman said to the man who drove the tractor.
"No." "The man sat on the tractor without looking back.
" Did he call? "
" hit. "
The woman didn't ask again. After the tractor walked away, the thin man heard the man's rough laughter again, which was like a smaller version of the tractor engine. After the supply and marketing cooperative closed, the woman and her man walked back.
The thin man followed the tractor along another path and listened to the sound of the tractor.
He followed the tractor to the yard in a corner of the village.He watched the man get off the tractor and opened the door with one hand, but the door was not locked. As the tractor entered the yard, the skinny man walked back.
He came to the parking place and entered the cab. He glanced at the cake in front of the flat-headed man and took a bite. The thin man drove his car towards the exit of the village.
"I vomited all of them." said the flat-headed man.
The car was parked next to a shelf on the side of the road, and there were several large hay stacks.
"Get out of the car with me." said the thin man.
"Where to go?"
"Go to her house."
"What to do? Saving?"
thin man took the air gun and got out of the car directly. The flat-headed man stepped down reluctantly. The thin man checked the airsoft.
They walked along the path mixed with stones and sand to the entrance of the yard.
flat-headed man whispered, "What are you going to do? If I don't say it, I'll go back."
thin man said, "I want to judge him."
flat-headed man was happy. The door of
has been locked from inside. They easily climbed over the wall. The thin man stood in front of the door, listening to the movement inside, and the sound of a wine bottle knocking on the table. He didn't knock on the door, but pushed it straight in.
This is a room that is simpler than that container. All the furniture is worn out and the walls seem to be rotten. Fortunately, there is a 60-watt light bulb directly above the dining table, which can cover seven or eight square meters of illumination.
Middle-aged man looked at them and touched an axe from under the chair with wood chips on it.
"I have nothing," he said.
The thin man walked to the other side of the table, placed the air gun on the table, and pointed the gun at the man's empty left hand. The flat-headed man found a bench next to him and sat down. There were walnut shells on the ground and some animal fluffs.
"What do you want?" The middle-aged man's cut-off arm reached under the table.
"Living alone?" said the thin man.
"There is a niece." said the middle-aged man.
"Where?"
"Run."
"Where did you go?"
"I don't know."
"Why did you run?"
"Why did you run?"
"I can't eat well here, I went to the city to find my parents." The middle-aged man glanced at the breath gun and put the axe on the table. He knew that he could not deal with the young people.
The thin man looked into the man's eyes and said, "How are you treating her?"
"Good to her."
"I don't hear that."
"Don't listen to the people at the entrance of the village saying that you are from the city and don't know the situation in the village. People here like to talk nonsense." The middle-aged man took a sip of wine. The smell of inferior wine can float over one meter.
The flat-headed man said to the thin man, "What are you asking? Such a posture."
"You have to listen to him." said the thin man.
"What did I say? Look at the place where I live." said the middle-aged man.
"I saw it as soon as I entered the door, I don't care about this." said the thin man.
"Did you see her?" the man said.
"I'm seeing you."
"Where is it?"
"In my car." The thin man frowned.
"She looks pretty. Do you want to buy it? I can go and talk to her parents." said the middle-aged man.
The flat-headed man stared at the ground, "Okay." He flipped a walnut shell, "Don't ask anymore, it's meaningless, why do you care what others have done?"
"Because I didn't mean it." The thin man said to the flat-headed man.
"Unintentionally! Fucked," the flat-headed man seemed to be angry, "You just want to argue, you are very good, because her uncle raped her every day, you saved her, right? Do you want to argue this? I wasn't embarrassed to be sure just now, do you really want to argue this?" said the flat-headed man.
"What's wrong with her?" said the middle-aged man sipped his wine.
"I'm not bad, I just want to hear you tell me what happened to you." The thin man hunched his back.
The middle-aged man touched his nose with his hand and said, "It's all like this here."
"What's the fuck?" The thin man was furious.
"I only have one hand, I can't find a woman, and his parents don't care about anything."
The thin man was still recalling the man's words. At this time, the flat-headed man stood up and said, "No, he didn't want to ask you this, he wanted to ask you, is the eleven-year-old girl happy? He has only found the youngest one, and he just wants to ask you if you feel good. "
The thin man stared at the flat-headed man, and the flat-headed man said, "No? Right, is this? "
The middle-aged man said, "I have no choice. "
thin man feels like he is doing nothing.
flat-headed man seemed very excited and said, "Are you here to judge others?" What do you think? He admits that he is worse than pigs and dogs? Then what? Then what? Admit it and then what? I can also admit that I am inferior to pigs and dogs. I have raped my roommate. How about it? Admitted, how about it? "
The thin man held up the gun and said to the flat-headed man, "You really, don't say another word. "
" You have to listen, I don't love you anymore, you are so disgusting. "
Middle-aged man: "It turns out he was a person who was having an asshole. "
The flat-headed man said to the middle-aged man fiercely: "Get out of here!" "
The flat-headed man turned his head and said to the thin man, "I helped you with the performance. I have long seen that there is something wrong with your sexual orientation, but now I find that you are much more evil in your bones, and you can always make up for yourself from somewhere else. Look at this person, take a look, take a closer look. "The flat-headed man walked to the middle-aged man and continued, "You are just doing so well and performing a lot. A large group of people are surrounding you. I'm tired of taking medicine. Okay, I finally came to hunt, and I've come to this point. Why do you judge him? "
" Why can't I judge him? He tortured an eleven-year-old girl. "The thin man said. The flat-headed man was emotionally excited. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Why torture her? "
" No, didn't torture her. "The middle-aged man defended.
" But everyone in the village knew that we also discovered that you have not tortured her yet? "The flat-headed man said.
"I'm not torturing her, she doesn't have to worry about food and drink. "The middle-aged man said.
"This is your judgment," the flat-headed man sat back on the bench, "This room is the most filthy place in the world, and there is still someone who wants to judge. "
The thin man's sweat dripped down his chin and fell onto the air gun.
Middle-aged man: "What's wrong with her?" "
The thin man held the gun behind his back. He walked to the west of the room, where there was a dirty bed. He turned on the light, and the light bulb flashed twice and it became very dim. He saw scratches on the wall and all kinds of dark stains. He felt very panic. He glanced at the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man continued to drink. There was a plastic urinal on the ground, and the thin man said, "You don't pour the urinal by yourself, right? "
The middle-aged man said, "I won't fall." "
thin man said: "I thought it was a roe deer, so I fired the gun, and now she is in the trunk. "
The middle-aged man said: "What is the trunk?" "
flat-headed man said, "There are things on the back of the car. "
" is dead? "The middle-aged man asked. The thin man said, "Carry her over." "He left the dim area of the bed and walked to the dining table, "Let's go, carry her in." "He pressed his hand on the gun and said to the middle-aged man, "Don't shout outside, I'll shoot if I shout. "
flat-headed man said, "Let's go." "
The middle-aged man took a flashlight from the windowsill, and the three of them opened the door and went out. They followed the path, and the light of the flashlight formed a circle on the dirt road, swaying.
In a few minutes, he walked to the haystacks, and the thin man opened the trunk.
The flat-headed man looked at the trunk, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I won't go back, just wait in the car. Anyway, he won't report you, otherwise he will be in trouble. "
thin man glanced at the girl. When the moisture-proof cushion was still covering her face, he felt the bright stone nose. He said in disappointment: "We are always safe. "
flat-headed man rubbed his eyes and said, "Yes, it's always safe."
Skinny man lifted the moisture-proof mat and hugged the girl out. Under the moonlight, her small nose reflected a fluorescent gray-blue color. He had been waiting to see the small orchid again for a long time. He didn't know whether this was a redemption or a permanent punishment.
Then he followed the dirt road. The middle-aged man walked in front and shone the flashlight. The thin man hugged the girl and followed behind.
He grabbed the girl's arm, but it was not that cold. The girl's face was just blood-colored, but the body temperature was not so icy that it was heart-wrenching. After he grabbed her slender arm, his thumb could still be placed on his index finger. He thought again that he killed her with an air gun.
returned to the yard, and the middle-aged man signaled to put the girl on the bed. The thin man said, "No. "
So the man took out a straw mat from under the bed and spread it on the ground. The thin man didn't want to put the girl back on the bed, and the ugly urinal was placed under the end of the bed, so even though the straw mat was tattered, he still put the girl down.
middle-aged man said, "Where are you playing? "
The thin man pointed at the girl's ribs. The middle-aged man stretched out his right hand and lifted the girl's clothes. The thin man finally got furious and kicked the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man turned around and sneered, "I understand. "
" understands what? "
" If I don't say it, you understand. "
The middle-aged man looked at the girl and said, "This gunshot wound cannot be killed, and she is not dead either. "
The thin man squatted down and checked the girl's breathing.
middle-aged man said, "She has a problem with the trachea and has always been weak and can't feel it. "
The thin man sat on the ground.
"You go, I'll call a doctor. It's hard to kill someone with a gun like you, and you'll scare me for a long time. "The middle-aged man laughed.
" She just stayed here? "Skinny said.
"Otherwise, where will you go?" She lives here, you go, I won't pursue you anymore. If you think it doesn't work, leave two thousand yuan. "The middle-aged man sat back on the table and drank the last sip of the wine bottle.
On the way toward the car, the road was extremely long. The thin man tilted against the wall twice, and his shirt rubbed layer by layer of loess.
He stumbled to the side of the car, and the flat-headed man came out of the co-pilot.
Thin man said: "She is not dead. "
flat-headed man looked at him coldly and said, "I'm driving." "He sat in the driving position, rolled down the window, threw out the cake that had bitten off. He looked at his watch and said to the thin man, "I can go to the city at 2:30, have some food to go home and sleep. "
thin man leaned on the back of the chair. He felt very sleepy and the car fell asleep after driving for a few kilometers.
