Chapter 113 The Deaf Old Lady Was Shot
"Brother Li, are you cooking at home? Coincidentally, I just happened to get two bottles of good wine. Why don't we have a drink?"
Xu Damao raised the bottle of wine attentively and looked at Li Yang eagerly.
"Da Mao? Why are you here?" Li Yang frowned and looked at the old neighbor who had not paid attention to him for a long time with some suspicion.
In his impression, Xu Damao had been keeping a low profile since his failed blind date, never causing trouble at work or after get off work. Why did he suddenly come to his house today, bringing wine with him?
Xu Damao looked around furtively, then suddenly leaned closer mysteriously and whispered:
"Mr. Li, I heard that a senior leader will be coming to the factory next Monday. Can you take me to see the world? I promise that I will take care of any benefits in the future!"
So that's it! Li Yang suddenly realized.
He then remembered that when he was leaving get off work today, Secretary Zhang had reminded him that the higher-level leaders would come to inspect next week and he must make good preparations.
At that time, he vaguely felt that Xu Damao might be trying to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to him.
As expected, this guy is quite well-informed!
Li Yang sneered and said impatiently: "I don't have that ability! I'm just an engineer, not a leader, how can I be that capable?"
Xu Damao smiled awkwardly, scratched his head awkwardly, and continued to plead: "Don't say that, Engineer Li! I think the people in the factory are very polite to you. Besides, you are also an engineer, so you must be..."
"Of course it's bullshit!" Li Yang was furious and didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore. "I'm busy and don't have time to deal with you!!"
After saying that, Li Yang slammed the door shut.
Behind the door, Xu Damao stood there for a long time, a flash of anger flashed across his face, he glared at the closed door fiercely, turned around and walked away cursing.
"You little brat, you're just a crappy engineer. What's so great about you? Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?"
Inside the door, Li Yang snorted coldly, not taking this little episode to heart at all.
He picked up the braised chicken, took a big bite, and his face was full of disdain.
You know, Xu Damao is a notorious villain who does all kinds of wicked things.
If Yi Zhonghai is a hypocrite, then he is a real villain.
After dinner, Li Yang was bored and slumped on the sofa, but an idea popped up in his mind.
Tomorrow is the day when the deaf old lady will be executed. Do you want to go and see it?
……
The next day was the weekend, and the courtyard should have been quiet, but today it was exceptionally lively.
Early in the morning, many people dressed neatly and walked towards the execution ground in the southern part of the city with great interest.
Today is the day the deaf old lady was executed.
In this era of material scarcity and monotonous entertainment, public executions became a topic of conversation among the people after dinner, and even a unique form of entertainment.
In addition, the deaf old lady had a special identity. She was the only one in the courtyard who was identified as an enemy spy. Everyone's curiosity was aroused and they naturally did not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Li Yang rode on his bicycle and slowly followed the crowd forward.
He had no great interest in such a bloody scene, but there was a lot of discussion in the courtyard, and it would be inappropriate not to join in the fun.
The execution ground was already packed with people.
A shooting column stood alone in the center of the square. A circle of temporary stands were densely built around the column, and the heads of the people were all level.
I looked ahead quickly, eagerly waiting for the show to begin.
Yi Zhonghai and his wife were also in the crowd, looking extremely unhappy.
After all, the deaf old lady had lived in the same yard with them for more than ten years and they had frequent contact with each other on weekdays. Now she is gone without a trace. It is hard for anyone to accept it.
Liu Haizhong's family and Yan Bugui's family looked gloating.
Hearing that the deaf old lady was a traitor, they felt a sense of pleasure in adding insult to injury. It would be even better if Yi Zhonghai and others were implicated.
In contrast, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu focused all their energy on meat coupons and grain coupons.
He Yuzhu generously lent them money, enough for them to squander for a while. Therefore, even in such a serious occasion, the couple would whisper to each other from time to time, talking about buying charcoal and flour for the winter.
Just as everyone was talking, a whistle suddenly sounded in the distance, and everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound.
A group of fully armed soldiers were escorting a thinly dressed old woman towards the shooting column.
The deaf old lady seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. Her once rosy face was now covered with wrinkles. Her cloudy eyes stared straight ahead, as if they had lost their spirit.
The soldiers pushed the deaf old woman roughly to the shooting post, twisted her shoulders forcefully, and tied her to the wooden stake with a hemp rope.
It all happened so fast that the deaf old lady didn't even have time to resist before she became a fish on the chopping board.
The crowd in the audience suddenly became agitated.
Many people stretched their necks, afraid of missing any details. Some enthusiastic viewers had already begun whispering to each other about the death of the deaf old lady.
Li Yang watched coldly without saying a word.
At this moment, the execution ground suddenly fell silent and everyone's eyes were focused on the deaf old lady.
The old woman slowly raised her head and looked around weakly. Her eyes were wandering, as if she was searching for something.
Finally, the deaf old woman's eyes met Li Yang's eyes.
She stared at the strange yet familiar young man in front of her. The hatred in her eyes seemed real, as if she wanted to cut a piece of flesh off Li Yang's face with her eyes.
Until the sound of the execution gun broke through the sky, the deaf old woman's body suddenly shook and she fell limply to the ground.
Blood splattered, dyeing the shooting column a deep red.
The boiling blood spurted onto the edge of the stands, causing many girls to scream and shrink back. The situation was out of control for a while.
Li Yang remained motionless, just watching coldly the deaf old woman's final struggle, as if he was witnessing the end of an era.
Yi Zhonghai and his wife watched the deaf old lady take her last breath, their faces pale.
For a moment, I didn't know whether I was more afraid or grateful that I had escaped danger.
They knew in their hearts that if they had gotten closer to the deaf old lady, they might have been implicated.
At that moment, Yi Zhonghai quickly gave up the idea of going forward to collect the body, fearing that others would notice something. Instead, he grabbed the old lady's arm and urged her in a low voice: "Let's go, let's go quickly! Let's go back and see what else the deaf old lady left behind!"
The aunt was frightened by her husband's appearance and nodded hesitantly. Then Yi Zhonghai dragged her away from the execution ground without looking back.
