Chapter 63: Killing someone
When Merome heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly turned around and ran forward.
The crowd that had just been noisy now calmed down, and the people of the three villages stood on each side, clearly distinguishing themselves from each other.
There was a man lying in the middle, his head covered with blood, and he fell motionless on the ground.
No one from the three villages spoke, and the atmosphere was depressing for a while.
We are all villagers, but they are just doing it for the immediate benefit, and no one has ever thought about beating anyone to death.
Now that something has happened, one or two people are in a state of confusion.
If someone is killed, the government will be alerted.
The head of Shuanghe Village looked at the people lying on the ground and felt panicked. Cold sweat broke out on his back, and the clothes on his back were soaked for a while.
He just wanted to organize the villagers to come here to seek justice, and did not want to take lives. But now that people have died, the matter may not be easy.
The village chief frowned, turned to Mei Laoer, who had a bruised nose and face, and said, "Lao Er, go to my house to pick up the bullock cart and go to the Yamen!"
If a person dies, he must report it to the official.
"No, you can't report it to the official." Hearing this, the head of Shanghe Village came out to stop him.
He just wanted their village to have a better harvest. What's wrong with that?
He was not happy to see people losing their lives.
"No, we must report it to the official. If you people from Shanghe Village hadn't blocked the river, we could have fought. If not, could we have killed people?"
The head of Xiahe Village came out and supported Shuanghe Village’s decision.
If this matter is not solved today, it may be even more difficult to solve later. If it doesn’t rain, there will probably be more and more water shortages, and then it will be more than just a fight!
The head of Shanghe Village also knew that he was wrong and said in a low voice: "I admit that we blocked the river, but we didn't want to fight. If a group of you hadn't rushed over so aggressively, would our village have been able to fight with you? Now we are dead.
Everyone has responsibilities, and it is not my family’s business in Shanghe Village, so I suggest that the three villages of ours sit down to discuss slowly and give some compensation to the deceased."
Everyone took action and everyone was responsible. How could we blame their village alone?
The head of Shanghe Village felt that he was wronged.
As he finished speaking, suddenly a woman stumbled over with a baby on her back, shouting loudly as she ran: "I don't want compensation, I want my boss to live."
She pushed everyone aside, ran to the front, threw herself on the deceased, and cried bitterly, "Master, how will our mothers survive if you go?"
The children are still young, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law have passed away. The family relies on myself and her husband to farm a few acres of land and go out to do odd jobs in their free time. Although they often don't have enough to eat or wear or keep warm, they can barely make ends meet.
Now that my husband was suddenly beaten to death, I am left alone with several children, an orphan and a widowed mother. How can I live like this?
Sadness comes from my heart, I feel like the sky is falling, my head is dizzy, and my ears are buzzing.
Seeing this, people in the three villages could only lower their heads one by one.
They don’t want this either!
When the villagers of Shuanghe Village saw the woman, their eyes couldn't help but turn a little red.
Mei Dawa's family has been passed down from generation to generation, and he is the only male child in this generation, but he is handed down here.
There are no uncles above, no brothers below, only two sisters who have married far away and have not been back for many years, with no one to help them.
Now her daughter-in-law is left alone with four children, the eldest is only twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest is still a baby. Life is indeed difficult.
"From Dawa's family, don't worry, I will seek justice for Dawa."
The village chief looked at the woman crying on the ground, his eyes red and his voice choked with sobs, "Second brother, go to the government office quickly, the people in our village cannot die in vain."
The people in Shanghe Village wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Mei Laoer immediately turned around and ran outside.
A villager was beaten to death, which was a big deal.
Mei Laoer left as quickly as he came, and soon he brought the official.
"Give way, give way, let the government handle the case."
Several officials pushed aside the crowd of onlookers and walked to the front. One of them said to the crying woman: "Little woman, please give way first. We have to examine the body of the deceased."
"No, no, my boss is not dead. He is not dead. He said that he irrigated the fields and the crops are ready. Our mothers can eat more steamed buns this year. She will not die, no...
…”
She still doesn't believe that her husband will leave them. Before going out in the morning, he smiled and said that he would take good care of their mothers. He never broke his promise.
The woman's eyes turned into walnuts from crying and her spirit collapsed. She held on to the deceased's hand and refused to let go.
When the officials saw this, they shook their heads helplessly. They had seen too many tragedies, and it was common for someone to die. The case had to be handled, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the superiors.
Regardless of the woman's resistance, the two officials took one hand and pulled her aside, blocking her view.
A man followed behind, carrying a wooden box and opening it. The various tools inside dazzled all the villagers.
Chu used the tools in the box to examine the deceased, and then recorded to one side: "There are varying degrees of injuries on the body, but they are not fatal. The biggest injury was on the head, which was caused by someone hitting the head with a stick until death."
The recorder quickly wrote it down, and Kisaku mentioned some more things he had examined. After the recorder finished writing, he handed it over to one of the officials, "Captain, this is the autopsy report. Please take a look."
This official is the chief catcher in the yamen.
The head catcher took the autopsy report and read it from the beginning, and then glanced at the people present. He found that most of the people standing here had sticks, poles, rolling pins, and even hoes and hatchets.
This is hard to do!
The shop owner frowned, put the autopsy report in his arms, and then said in a deep voice: "Who can tell me what happened?"
Seeing everyone, you looked at me and I looked at you without saying a word. He looked around, looked around, and finally looked out of the crowd and fell on the dazed little Douding not far away.
This child has nothing in her hands, her clothes are clean, and her hair is neat. She looks like an outsider at first glance. Children can't lie. She is the most suitable.
"Child, come and tell me, what happened here?"
Melome has not yet reacted to what happened just now.
She would never have imagined that one day she would be so crazy that she would beat someone to death in order to grab water.
She is not a savior and has no ability to stop it. She can only watch several villages fight each other.
Now that the person is dead, she dare not come forward because she is afraid of seeing the dead body, so she just stays far away.
Following everyone's gaze, the others saw a child standing not far away and were immediately surprised.
When did this child come here?
Mei Laoer followed his line of sight and found that the person standing far away was his daughter. He hurriedly ran forward, picked her up and asked, "Sanya, why are you here?"
Suddenly thinking of something, he turned to Guan Cha and said, "This child may be meeting Master Cha for the first time, so he is a little scared."
Although he was also afraid, he didn't want to be embarrassed in front of his children.
The catcher nodded clearly, took a few steps closer, and tried to lower his voice as low as possible, "Child, can you tell me what you just saw?"
On Sunday, there will be two updates, one chapter at 8 o'clock and one chapter at 5 p.m. Tomorrow the chapters will be released at 12 noon and 5 p.m.
