Chapter 25: Sunflower to the Sun
The monitor on the street corner once captured a disgusting scene in the park. A ragged wandering boy was asleep on the bench of the park. At dawn, a car drove past him. After a while, the car came back. The driver got out of the car, looked down at the wandering boy, quietly took off his pants, and then lay on him. The wandering boy woke up and struggled hard. The driver failed and left in disappointment. When he left, he wanted to carry the wandering boy into the car.
In addition to facing sexual harassment, there are two kinds of dangers: dogs and mysterious people who capture them.
The "black brick kiln" case in Hongdong County caused a sensation across the country. 31 migrant workers were abducted to brick factories and forced labor and were not paid. Among them, 9 were mentally retarded and some child workers were also involved.
Han Honglian, director of the Women's Federation of Moshi Village, Lei County, illegally detained several homeless men and kept them in the mountains, restricted their freedom, and traded them as slaves.
Many years ago, a crazy woman appeared on the streets of Daze Township. She was slightly beautiful, fair-skinned, and clean-haired and clothes. She should be a mentally ill patient who had been lost at home. The crazy woman often wandered around the market, picking up rotten vegetables and leaves to eat, and slept on the cement platform selling fish at night or under the bridge hole. Her spirit was sometimes good and sometimes bad. There were a few words written by her in lime on the bridge pillar, telling passers-by not to urinate and defecate here because this is her home.
People found that the crazy woman's belly was getting bigger and she didn't know which evil ghost was doing it.
Later, the crazy woman disappeared, and a bachelor forced her home late at night.
The bachelor's name is Qingshan. He lives in a stone house at the west end of Dongshigu Village. His house is always cold and emits a stinking smell. Outside the house is a pigpen. Sunflowers are planted in the two acres of land outside the pigpen. In summer, there are golden flowers. The fragrance spreads from the two sunflowers to the entire village from the gaps between the petals. The bachelor's bridal Han Qingshan is embarrassed to say that he was the wife picked up on the street, so he told the villagers that he bought it. In his heart, in the eyes of the villagers, buying is much more decent than picking up glory.
Several people in the village were bought wives, and some of the bought wives had run away, some had become aunts picking cotton in the fields, or aunts basking in the sun under the walls.
The crazy woman gave birth to a child for the bachelor, and she was stupid. Time flies and the child is growing up slowly.
When a crazy woman is awake, she is like a normal person. When she is sick, she doesn't know anyone, and she can't even take care of herself by eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. She can write, read newspapers and knit sweaters, but she can't remember where her home is.
Qingshan said: My father and I work to make money, and we will treat you and cure your mental illness.
The crazy woman said: Once cured, I will know where I came from. Aren’t you afraid that I will run away?
Qingshan said: Don’t be afraid, there are kids, our family has sunflowers, you like to eat melon seeds.
The child called out to mother and said: Mom, don’t run away. If you cure the disease, don’t run away. No matter how crazy you are, you will be my mother.
The crazy woman said: Oh, I can't bear to leave either. I was confused and didn't know where to go.
During the Qingshan New Year, he kowtowed and made a wish. The father and son decided to go to work and make money to cure the crazy woman's illness.
He kowtowed and told the Buddha in his heart that he had done something wrong and something good in his life.
He raped a mentally retarded woman on a cement table in the township market more than once, and this was a mistake.
The good thing he did was to bring this woman home.
Even those who live in the quagmire yearn for a better tomorrow, just as the sunflowers in the dark can always distinguish the direction of the sun.
The crazy woman knitted a pair of thread pants for the father and son, and she broke them.
It lasted for three years. On the eve of work, Qingshan entrusted his crazy wife to his second aunt to help take care of her.
Qingshan said: Give her some food.
Qingshan’s son said: Don’t let my mother run around.
The father and son went to work, and never returned...
The crazy woman was so hungry that she was wandering around the village like a ghost, no matter day and night. Is this a way to welcome her? She didn't know when her husband and son would come back or from which road she would come back. This unconscious woman occasionally woke up for a moment. She looked at the entrance of the village in a daze, and marked the front and back of the village with lime. She was worried that she would get lost in the crowd and would never come back.
On the wall of that stone house, there was a word she wrote: Home.
According to the suspect Guo Wu, the Guo brothers met Qingshan and his son who went out to work at the railway station. They were all villagers from Dongshigu Village and had such a conversation at the railway station:
Guo Da said to Qingshan and his son: Qingshan, where are you going to work?
Qingshan said: I don’t have much skills, so I go to the construction team to move bricks and work as a steel bar worker.
Guo Da and Guo Er exchanged their eyes and asked tentatively: Otherwise, your father and I will work in the mine with me, which will make more money than working as a small worker.
Guo Er hurriedly said: Brother, no, I promised to let the third and fourth brother go, and the mine manager would not want outsiders.
Qingshan's son asked: How much money can he earn? Is it enough to treat my mother?
Guo Da said: It is better to be a small worker than to be a small worker.
Qingshan hesitated for a moment and said a little embarrassedly: Why don’t you do this? I’ll take a companion with you and work in the mine?
Guo Da: Then you should replace the third brother. You have to call me brother in the mine, and you have to change your surname to Guo. There are no outsiders in the mine, for fear of something happening.
Qingshan nodded and said: Zhong.
Guo Da said to Qingshan's son: "Baby, you have to call me uncle and uncle."
Qingshan Son: OK.
Guo Da said: Come on, call me uncle.
Aoyama Son: Uncle.
Guo Da pointed at Guo Er and said: Call him uncle.
Qingshan's son shouted to Guo Er: His uncle.
Guo Da slapped Qingshan's son on the head and cursed: You silly slut.
Guo Da once again emphasized the seriousness of the matter, because it is very dangerous to work underground, small coal mine accidents occur frequently, so don’t make any mistakes or outsiders in the mine. Guo Da and Guo Er helped Qingshan and his son apply for fake ID cards and repeatedly reminded them not to disclose their true identities, otherwise the coal mine owner would fire them and would not even get their wages.
The Guo brothers deceived Qingshan and his son in a few words and went to work in a small coal mine together. The contract signed by the kiln owner and the miner said black and white: If an accident occurs, one finger will compensate 50 yuan and one person will live 30,000 yuan.
After the Guo brothers killed Qingshan and his son underground, they pretended to be a mine accident and asked the kiln owner for compensation. They had committed this crime of killing people to defrauding compensation many times before. Because there were fewer and fewer mentally retarded homeless people on the street, they could not find a suitable victim, so they were extremely vicious and extended their clutches to the villagers in the village.
When killing Qingshan's son, this young man who had just grown up and was stunned and knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy. He cried and said: Uncle, don't kill me, don't kill me, I have to earn money to treat my mother.
Guo Er said: OK, you turn around and don’t open your eyes.
Qingshan's son turned around and said: If you kill me, then no one will care about my mother.
The crowbar in General Guo's hand hit Qingshan's son hard on the head, and he said: You are worth 30,000 yuan.
The Guo brothers piled coal on the dead Qingshan and his son, pretending to cause a landslide in the mine.
What is darker than coal is the heart of a person!
These coals are like piled graves, covered with weeping willows from ancient times and cumin seedlings from billions of years ago.
The safety measures of small coal mines are not perfect. Once an accident occurs, the kiln owner only wants to make big things smaller and small things smaller. If the coal bureau or labor bureau knows that someone died in the mine is fined, he will also face a situation of suspension of production and rectification. The kiln owner wants to pay the money as soon as possible. The Guo brothers hope to get more pensions. While pretending to be sad, they bargain. After some negotiations, the kiln owner took out the money, and the two parties finally signed an agreement that the accidental death had nothing to do with the kiln owner.
In more than a year, the Guo brothers killed eight people. Except for Qingshan and his son, the rest were all mentally retarded people found on the street. In their eyes, those homeless people and those mentally retarded people all have money, and a life of 30,000 yuan per person. They chose the easiest way to deal with the corpse: bury them.
Guo Er said: The cremation requires a death certificate.
Guo San said: This is not a matter. There are so many fake certificates on the street, you can get an ID card and a household registration book, and you can get a death certificate.
Guo Da said: The problem is, cremation costs money, so why should we spend that money?
Guo Si said: That's right, brother is right, I think, just find a place to bury it.
Guo Wu said: Buried it, save money if it is buried.
The Guo brothers buried all eight bodies in the field outside the village. The police never figured out who dug out one body and dragged it to the cave on the river bank. The special case team thought of the crazy wife of Qingshan, who was the deceased. For a lunatic, this strange behavior was reasonable.
But, how did this crazy woman find the burial place of the body?
She wrote with lime on the wall, she inserted branches on the roadside, and she made some marks in front of and behind the village.
The crazy woman was worried that she would be lost and would never find her home again. Even at night, she was wandering in the village, waiting for her husband and son to come back.
Whether it is day or night, she will keep waiting, although the person she has to wait will never come back. Have you ever had a moment of warm memories of life in the chaotic heart of this crazy woman? When she was awake, she sat in the dim light and knitted thread pants for her husband and son. What was she thinking about? Later, when she claimed the remains of the deceased, why did she burst into tears and suddenly shed tears?
Only when you leave someone will you realize how much you miss him.
Before the special case team left, it started raining again in Daze Township...
The crazy woman stood stupidly in the rain, looking at her own stone house, and there was a word she wrote on the wall: Home.
Sunflowers are planted in the field outside the door. The head has been cut off, and only the sunflower stalks are left in the rain. The fruits of the sunflower are seeds. Everyone has their own path, and they know the coldness of the night and the bitterness of the rain. As long as they go on, they will always meet their own flower, the blooming sunflower waiting for their own.
The sunflowers in my heart will never wither.
The special case team went to Qingshan's second aunt's house. When Qingshan and his son went out to work, they entrusted the crazy woman to take care of her second aunt, but the second aunt didn't even give her a bite of food. The crazy woman was left alone and had no care, and she was so hungry that she was as thin as she could. If this continued, she would die soon.
Qingshan's second aunt defended herself on the grounds that Qingshan did not give her money.
