one punch

Dou Tianxiao was like a mouse blocked by a big cat at the door, with goosebumps all over his body, he yelled hoarsely, "Grandpa...are you still there?"

But no one answered outside.

The tattooed man leaned against the door frame, raised his right leg against the door frame on the other side, then slowly took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Tell uncle, where is your father?"

"I don't know, he said he went to work elsewhere."

The eyebrows of the tattooed man furrowed instantly, "What is the other place?"

"I really don't know..." Dou Tianxiao saw the tattooed man playing with the lighter in his hand, and caught a glimpse of a folding fruit knife hanging on the key chain around his waist. His desire to survive made him spit out all the truth, "He He left last Wednesday afternoon, didn't even say hello to us, only left a little snack..."

Grandpa chased the three men all the way downstairs, even Ye Xi who was lying on the bed was woken up by the sound of footsteps, and hurriedly followed downstairs, his long bare legs were shivering with cold, He stared at the strange men with a look of surprise.

"What are you doing down here! Hurry up!" Grandpa pointed at Ye Xi.

One of the men blocked Ye Xi's way, "Where is Dou Guangmao?"

"I've said it hundreds of times and I don't know! You've all gone upstairs and read it, don't you give up? We really have nothing to do with him! He divorced my daughter a long time ago." Grandpa spread his hands, his face full of tears. Sincerity and helplessness.

"His sons are all here, don't you know his whereabouts?" The tattooed man looked serious, threw the cigarette on the ground, picked up the leg of a stool at hand and threw it on the ground like crazy, "You he Mom, tell me or not! I don't have that much patience to listen to you talking about me!"

The square stool was smashed to pieces, and the bouncing wood splintered onto Dou Tianxiao's body.

Everyone in the room was startled by the loud noise, Ye Xi and Dou Tianxiao instinctively hid behind the door.

"Get out of here quickly!" Grandpa raised his hand and grabbed the shoulder of the tattooed man, trying to drive the leader out first.

After all, a 60-year-old man is not as strong as a young man, and he tried his best to drag him, but he just dragged him staggeringly.

The tattooed man raised his hand and shook off his arm, "If you want me to go, you can either pay back the money, or tell me where Dou Guangmao is! Otherwise, we will sleep here today and never leave until Dou Guangmao comes back!"

A few people next to me also echoed, "We'll just sleep here and never leave."

Grandpa was completely irritated by these unreasonable gangsters, he turned around and picked up a bone chopping knife on the chopping board, and shouted angrily, "Are you going to go?"

When the men saw the kitchen knife, they immediately weakened and retreated again and again. Only the tattooed man walked over and pointed to his head and said, "Come on! Cut here! Cut here! Cut me to death! Come on!" ah!"

Grandpa's trembling fingers tightly gripped the handle of the knife, and the tattooed man raised his head and smiled contemptuously, "I'm not dead, have you ever heard a saying that debt repayment is justified, Dou Guang..."

"Go away!" The apple in Dou Tianxiao's hand hit the tattooed man's side face, "You are not allowed to scold my grandpa!"

The tattooed man's eyes widened, like an angry lion, he picked up a stool and threw it at Dou Tianxiao's body.

Dou Tianxiao quickly flashed to the right, and the stool was thrown against the wall, making a big hole, and then bounced to the ground together with the cracked wall.

Dou Tianxiao turned his head and glanced at the big pit, and his heart beat like a drum.

The one that smashed into my body was probably my ribs.

I saw the tattooed man pick up a piece of wood on the ground again.

In desperation, the grandfather turned over the kitchen knife in his hand, and hammered the tattooed man's thick arm with the back of the knife.

The tattooed man felt as if his arm had been electrocuted, and he lost consciousness. He unconsciously took two steps backwards.Seeing that the situation was wrong, one of them pushed the old man to the ground with force.

A few seconds later, the tattooed man recovered from the heart-wrenching soreness, clenched his molars and kicked his grandfather, "Old man, I'm so fucking impatient!"

This kick landed straight near the grandfather's temple, and the grandfather's skull hit the cabinet door, making a loud "boom".

Dou Tianxiao's heart was beating fast, he rushed over like crazy, and bit the tattooed man's wrist.

The tattooed man lifted his head from the pain, gasped "hiss", "You are a fucking mad dog!"

His other hand clenched his fist and hit Dou Tianxiao fiercely on the forehead, but the latter refused to say anything.

Soon, a rusty smell permeated Dou Tianxiao's mouth.

He couldn't manage his out-of-control emotions like his grandfather, and he chose to use the back of the knife when he shot. At this moment, he just wanted to bite off the opponent's flesh, let them go away, and let them know how powerful he is.

He doesn't allow anyone to hurt his family!

At this time, warm blood flowed from the grandfather's forehead to the brows, and hung down, the scarlet between the fingers and the back of the hand was shocking.

His forehead and the corners of his eyes swelled rapidly, obstructing his sight. He walked over unsteadily and grabbed Dou Tianxiao's shoulders. After letting go of his mouth, Dou Tianxiao punched and kicked the tattooed man, tears streaming down his face. , "Get out of here! Get out of here!"

Several men held Dou Tianxiao back, looked at grandpa, then at the tattooed man, and reminded in a low voice: "Brother, why don't we come back another day."

Only then did the tattooed man suddenly realize that his shot just now was too heavy, and he slipped away like a meteor after putting down a harsh word.

Grandpa covered his eyes with his hands, feeling a little unsteady, he groped for the wall with his eyes closed, and slowly slid down to the ground.

Although Dou Tianxiao acted savagely and viciously just now, his legs were already limp from fright. He hurriedly supported his grandfather, and shouted tremblingly, "You are okay, Grandpa."

The old man didn't say anything, he had already lost consciousness from the pain.

It was the first time in Dou Tianxiao's life that he experienced such a grand scene, and his emotions inevitably got a little out of control, tears instantly blurred his eyes.

At a loss, he searched for something that could stop the bleeding, his body was shaking uncontrollably, and his teeth were chattering.

At this time, Ye Xi ran downstairs again with bare thighs, his lips were frozen purple, "Where are those people?"

"I ran away early, and I don't care about them! Grandpa's head was broken!" Dou Tianxiao was so nervous that he could not speak coherently, "What should I do?"

"I called the police." Taking advantage of the fight just now, Ye Xi sneaked upstairs and called the police.

"It's useless to call the police at this time, call an ambulance!" Dou Tianxiao shouted anxiously.

The police and ambulance arrived at the entrance of the village almost at about the same time, because the country roads were too narrow for cars to enter. Only policemen on motorcycles could enter.

When the two policemen entered the door, the old man was already unconscious. Dou Tianxiao and Ye Xi were kneeling on the ground crying and trying to stop the bleeding for him.

Scarlet liquid covered their palms, cheeks, and clothes, like a murder scene.

After the police found out about the situation, they carried the grandfather directly to the entrance of the village. Dou Tianxiao couldn't care less and jumped into the ambulance in a hurry, followed by Ye Xi who put on a pair of pants.

Every cell in their bodies was full of fear and worry. Under the zero temperature, their backs were already soaked in cold sweat, and Ye Xi shivered in the car.

My uncle and aunt rushed to the hospital half an hour later, when my grandfather had already been pushed into the emergency room for emergency treatment.

The policeman who carried his grandfather into the hospital asked, "Do you know the other party's name?"

The two children shook their heads.

"What do those people look like? How tall are they? Are there any obvious features on their faces?"

Ye Xi was so nervous at the time that he basically didn't know what to ask. Dou Tianxiao frowned and searched for the details at that time very seriously.

"The person who kicked my grandpa was tall, with a cropped head, wearing a dark blue down vest, and there must have been tattoos on his arms. The exposed part of his wrist looked like a dragon's tail, and there was a mole on the side of his nose. There is also a black face with hair past the ears..."

The two police officers exchanged glances, and one of them spoke first, "Could it be Pan Xufeng's gang?"

When the doctor came out of the operating room, my aunt jumped up from the chair like a spring, "Doctor, how is my dad?"

"The patient had a concussion and had to stay in bed for a period of time to recuperate. Also, when he was brought here, the cornea of ​​his left eye fell off a little, which will definitely affect the recovery of vision. Are his eyes good?" The doctor's tone was flat, as if anyone Things didn't make waves with him.

"A little presbyopic." My aunt said.

The doctor next to him was relatively young, and his tone was relatively kind, "There is nothing serious about him. After he wakes up, he will take a picture to see if there is any problem with his bones, and his eyesight may be damaged. Anyway, do it first. Be mentally prepared."

"It's serious?" My aunt read a hint of ominousness from his words.

"If it's better, the vision can be restored. Maybe it's blurry or double vision. You can continue to treat it later. The worst plan... is to lose sight in the left eye." The young doctor said tactfully, "This is Plan for the worst, as family members, you should try your best to be mentally prepared..."

When Dou Tianxiao heard the word "blindness", he only felt a "buzz" in his head, and the words behind him could not be heard clearly.

My aunt covered her mouth in surprise, her eye sockets were already wet, and my uncle hurriedly asked, "Then what is the probability of blindness?"

The doctor's answer was ambiguous, "We can't be sure about this, it depends on how the patient recovers, and I hope the patient can cooperate with some later treatments."

"Yes, yes, that's for sure." My aunt nodded repeatedly.

Dou Tianxiao sat on the cold bench without saying a word, as if there was a fire in his chest roasting his internal organs.

He clenched his fists, his chest heaving with anger.

He regrets it.

I regret that I am not smart enough or brave enough. If I had called the police earlier or shot earlier, my grandfather would not have been so seriously injured.He also regretted his soft heart, and regretted not biting off the man's flesh with more force.

He couldn't swallow the bad breath.

He has never wanted to grow up like this moment, longing for bravery and strength.

He wants to become stronger and able to protect his family.

Old Man Ye only woke up in the afternoon. His cheeks were blue and purple, and his forehead was swollen like a steamed bun. He didn't know that one of his eyes might be blind.For a while he praised the two children for being alert and smart, and for a while he talked excitedly to his son and daughter-in-law about Dou Guangmao being a guarantor.

"Who is he surety for?" asked my aunt.

"Sun Wenjuan."

Uncle and aunt looked at each other, but they couldn't remember who this person was.

Grandpa found a reason to send the two children away, and then slowly said: "It's Dou Guangmao's concubine."

My aunt widened her eyes in surprise.

The day Dou Guangmao "entered the palace for the second time" was the day when his grandfather went to the Public Security Bureau to go through the relevant procedures, so he knew many things, but his uncle and aunt did not.

Sun Wenjuan came to work in Xi Town from other places. There was a sick husband and a pair of elderly parents-in-law in her hometown.This person has no education and no skills. He heard from his fellow villagers that it is easy to find a job in Nancheng and has a high income, so he resolutely came to this strange city. In the end, he was tricked into a prostitution den. He has been doing it for several years.

Perhaps it is because Dou Guangmao and Sun Wenjuan have both experienced the gloomy and unbearable, these two decayed souls have found a miraculous meeting point, just like bastards and mung beans, they have taken a fancy to each other.

The two even argued at the police station that they were willing, and it was not a sale.

As for how to guarantee people later, whether that Sun Wenjuan is a liar, where he fled, and whether Dou Guangmao already knew about it, there is no way of knowing.

Grandpa was afraid of the cost of hospitalization, so he clamored to be discharged before nightfall, but was stopped by his uncle, "You have to be hospitalized for observation if the doctor tells you to! How come the older you are, the less sensible you are!"

"That's right, Dad, your pelvis is broken, the doctor won't let you move around, so you need to rest for a while," said the aunt.

Grandpa was still afraid of causing trouble to his son and daughter-in-law, so he sent him back after dinner.

Dou Tianxiao refused to go home to sleep, so he lay on another bed in the ward, "I'm going to sleep with grandpa tonight."

"Me too!" Ye Xi continued.

The old man smiled helplessly, and was quite happy in his heart, "Then stay with me."

On the first night in the hospital, the two children fell asleep after hearing the anti-Japanese war stories that the old man had told seven or eight hundred times, smelling the smell of disinfectant.

Early the next morning, Dou Tianxiao and Ye Xi accompanied his grandfather to have an examination and take a film. After the examination, the doctor said that all his physical indicators were normal and there were no other problems. The old man began to feel sorry for money again.

When he was young, he didn't buy medical insurance, but later he had to pay tens of thousands of dollars to get in if he wanted to renew it. He didn't want to, and now he would look at the bills for various inspections and feel that those inspections were for nothing.

"I just said no need to check, no need to check, isn't that the same as throwing money into the water!" The old man complained all the way to the payment bill.

Dou Tianxiao said: "Spend money to buy peace of mind, anyway, it's uncle who pays for it, so what are you worrying about, grandpa?"

"Their money is picked up? It's not easy for your uncle and aunt to earn money. They stay in the store from morning to night every day, and there is no day off all year round." Grandpa sighed softly.

Dou Tianxiao turned to look at grandpa, "Grandpa, I will definitely earn a lot of money to support you in the future. When I earn a lot of money, I will hire a row of nannies for you, one will pick fish bones for you, the other will peel grapes for you, and the other will dig watermelon seeds. help you with housework..."

The old man laughed loudly in the corridor, and patted Dou Tianxiao's head, "Okay, grandpa is waiting for the day when you will be successful."

In the evening, another car accident patient was admitted to the ward. There were not enough beds, so he could only sit and accompany the bed. Grandpa sent the two children back.

The uncle was afraid that those people would come and cause trouble again, so he didn't dare to leave the two children alone at home, so he shared the table downstairs, planning to sleep downstairs with his wife and let the two children sleep upstairs in the big bed.

Jiang Qing happened to be shopping and saw the family spreading quilts on the table, so she hurriedly asked, "What's the situation, is this? Take this spot out to bask in the moon?"

My aunt told Jiang Qing about what happened yesterday morning in an emphatic way.

"Oh! Then why didn't you tell me earlier! In this cold weather, the sleeping table is not frozen to death. So, you two continue to sleep upstairs, and the two children come home with me and live in my house. "Jiang Qing said.

"That's no good, it's too much trouble." The aunt declined.

"It's okay, it's okay, sister, I still have a small vacant room in my house, which Jiang Ran slept in when he was a child. Now that he has grown up, the single bed has been vacated and has been useless. Let Xixi make do with it for a night, Xiaodouzi Well, let's squeeze with Ran Ran, anyway, his bed is too big now." Jiang Qing said.

"That's so embarrassing..." The aunt laughed hahaha, and pushed the two children away, "Don't cause trouble when you go to Mr. Jiang's house!"
