Chapter Fifty-Seven
Shopkeeper Xu closed his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Okay then!"
"This matter involves the Shi family's secrets. If you don't want to participate, please don't reveal our conversation today."
"Don't worry, we will keep it secret!" The veteran thief and shopkeeper Xu struck three times in a row.
Shopkeeper Xu said: "When I was chatting with Shi Qi, she told me that she was brought here by Shi Chongguang because she heard someone talking in the box at home."
Shi Qi said: There are six boxes in her home that are always locked. Shi Chongguang has to put a stick of incense on the box every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, as well as during the New Year and holidays.
When the incense is being offered, no one is allowed to watch.
However, every time he burned incense, Shi Qi could hear someone talking in the box.
When Shi Qi was young, he couldn't hear clearly what the people in the box were saying. Later, as Shi Qi grew up, the sounds in the box became clearer and clearer. Shi Qi seemed to hear someone in the box cursing, and the person he was scolding was Shi Chongguang.
.Moreover, that voice is not a person.
Shi Chongguang ignored them, and in the end they could only sigh and calm down.
When Shi Chongguang started to light the incense again, the curse words came out again.
On New Year's Eve when Shi Qi was ten years old, Shi Chongguang went to put incense on the box again, and the curse came again.
Shi Qi vaguely heard someone in the box shouting: "Shi Chongguang, you are suppressing the descendants of the Shi family and preventing them from taking the right path. Be careful of your granddaughter, she will die a tragic death just like your two sons and daughter-in-law."
Shi Chongguang immediately became angry and rushed into the yard with an ax in three steps. He put the ax on his back and smashed the box hard.
Shi Zhongguang continued to curse while smashing: "Fuck you bastards, you want me to accept my fate, but I refuse to admit it. I will take care of my own grandson, and there is no need for you bastards to keep silent."
"If you keep your mouth shut, I will take you out and burn you all."
"Damn it, you bastard."
After the box was smashed by Shi Zhongguang, someone in the box sighed longly and then stopped.
That day, Shi Chongguang's face was so gloomy that it didn't look better until he was eating. Shi Qi couldn't help but ask Shi Chongguang: "Sir, what's in that box? Why did you smash the box!"
Shi Chongguang said with a cold face: "Children should stay away from adults' matters."
Shi Qi still refused to give up and asked again: "Sir, why did I hear someone sighing in the box?"
Shi Chongguang's eyes suddenly widened: "You heard me!"
Shi Qi nodded in fear: "I heard it!"
Shi Chongguang pulled Shi Qi to him: "What else did you hear?"
Shi Qi was scared, but he didn't dare not say: "I heard them scolding you!"
"Change clothes! Come with me!" Shi Zhongguang didn't care whether Shi Qi answered or not, he pulled Shi Qi and walked out.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when traffic was closed, Shi Chongguang braved the heavy snow and rushed to Changchun overnight carrying Shi Qi on his back.
Shi Chongguang stopped here: "At that time, when Shi Qi said these words to me, my heart suddenly went crazy!"
"The boxes in the Shi family must be filled with ghosts, but who are those ghosts? Why did they force Shi Chongguang to take Shi Qi on the road to arrest the police?"
"When I was full of doubts, Shi Chongguang walked in. The first thing he said to me was: Let's start tattooing Shi Qi! After you finish it, can you accompany me to have a few drinks with me on the hour?"
After Shi Zhongguang finished speaking, he touched Shi Qi's head and said, "Shi Qi! According to the saying of our ancestors, 'The fastest can only catch seven'..."
"I would rather let your father and the others farm and raise pigs for the rest of their lives than let them work as catchers anymore."
"You are the only child in our family, so I can't let you be a catcher. For a while, you can hold back and let him tattoo you on your body..."
After hearing this, Shi Qi asked back: "Sir, are those people in the box forcing you to make me a catcher?"
I also felt strange at the time! I also asked: "Girl, did you hear someone talking in the box? Are you not afraid at all?"
Shi Qi blinked and said, "As long as my master is here, I'm not afraid of anything!"
I looked at Shi Chongguang, but his eyes were red, holding back tears, he turned away and waved his hand towards me.
This fierce tattoo must be completed in one go, and no anesthesia is allowed in between.
You two were so strong that you fainted from the pain. That little Shi Qi was only ten years old when he came to my house. Although he fainted from the pain several times, he didn't say a word. That kid can do it!
Shopkeeper Xu gave me a thumbs up before continuing: "After I finished tattooing Shi Qi, I left her in the house to recuperate. I went to get Shi Chongguang wine and drank with him until almost dawn.
He just started talking."
"Shi Chongguang asked me: Do you know what my name was in Ji Province?"
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, although Shi Chongguang was just a policeman in a small county town, no one, whether a bandit or a criminal, dared to come to the county town that Shi Chongguang guarded.
Shi Chongguang was able to control an area of hundreds of miles by himself, all because he was ruthless and ruthless. He never listened to anyone's difficulties and struck without mercy. Once he got angry, he would not listen to anyone's words, even if the governor's son had committed a crime.
No matter what, he still dares to catch and kill.
His most ruthless act was when he took over several bandits from the top of the mountain and hung them up at the city gate - skinning them alive, so that none of the bandits dared to come.
From then on, Shi Chongguang got the nickname "Wolf Catcher". At that time, when Shi Chongguang's name was mentioned, the three provinces and two provinces had to give face.
I knew Shi Chongguang at that time, and I also asked him: If you are so ruthless, aren't you afraid of forming a deadly feud with someone?
But Shi Chongguang told me: What time are we now? It’s a troubled time! In this world, it’s easier for someone to die than for leaves to fall off a tree in autumn. I’m talking about human kindness? If you leave a way for others, you won’t be able to control this county. If there really is trouble.
Who would show mercy to the folks in the county despite the banditry?
Wolfcatcher Shi Chongguang relied on such ruthlessness to protect this county in troubled times.
However, it was precisely because of his ferocity that he got into trouble with people he shouldn't have.
Shi Chongguang told me: He suddenly disappeared some time before the founding of the People's Republic of China, not because he was avoiding trouble, but because he was forced to hide.
This has to start with a disappearance case handled by Shi Chongguang.
That year, there were a large-scale disappearance of people near Changchun. Some people even went out to fetch water and disappeared. In the most serious case, an entire village disappeared.
At that time, all the patrol officers in Changchun were helpless. The mayor issued a death order to solve the case within a time limit. If the disappearance case could not be solved by the end of the day, the entire police station would be subject to military law.
The chief inspector at that time was forced to do nothing, so he negotiated with a bandit to find someone to take the blame. The newspapers were full of publicity that the major case had been solved.
