Chapter 1: Cutting Yi Zhonghai with a Knife

Chapter 1: Cutting Yi Zhonghai with a Knife

1961, spring.

In a bungalow in the middle courtyard of the Nanguluoxiang quadrangle.

A thin young man, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, was kneeling in front of the bed.

An elderly woman was lying on the bed, her face pale and she was dead.

Thinking about the experiences of the past few days.

The young man gritted his teeth, wiped the tears from his face, and gripped the knife even tighter.

His name is Chen Jianye. Three days ago, his father Chen Tuntian died in an accident while working at a steel rolling mill.

The Chen family’s sky has fallen.

In a daze, Chen Jianye, together with his mother and the elders of the courtyard, took care of his father's funeral. After the grand ceremony, Chen's mother fell ill.

During the time when Chen's mother fell ill, the residents of the compound not only did not show any concern, but some people even ran to Chen's house to take things, aggravating Chen's mother's condition.

Before leaving, Chen's mother specifically told Chen Jianye to be wary of the people in the compound.

Especially the eldest brother Yi Zhonghai.

And he must get back Chen's father's pension from Yi Zhonghai, work honestly at his job, marry a wife, and continue the bloodline of the Chen family.

This way, she would have an explanation to Old Chen in her afterlife.

Afterwards, Chen's mother left, her cloudy eyes filled with reluctance and worry for Chen Jianye.

Chen Jianye drank two bowls of cold water and made a decision in his heart.

He wanted to kill Yi Zhonghai and the animals who were moving things in his house, and make them pay for his mother's life.

Before doing anything, Chen Jianye must talk to his mother.

"Mom, I'm going to make these beasts pay for your lives!"

The sudden loss of his father and then his mother made Chen Jianye, a young man who was powerless to do anything, choose to go to extremes.

Don’t you want something from my Chen family?

I'll give it all to you, just exchange your life for it!

Standing up, Chen Jianye wiped his palms on his thin cotton trousers to remove the sweat stains, and he gripped the knife tighter.

When he opened the door, his face was full of determination.

"Hey, the kid from the Chen family has been in the house for the whole afternoon and hasn't gone out yet. I hope nothing will happen."

"It's nothing. I guess they're settling accounts."

"The Chen family didn't have any fireworks at noon, so they didn't eat or drink at home?"

"Then go and have a look."

In the front yard of the courtyard, a few middle-aged women were chatting.

Yi Zhonghai came back from get off work with his short hair standing upright and a square face, his face was full of seriousness and righteousness.

"The uncle is back."

A group of old ladies in the compound greeted him one after another.

"came back."

Yi Zhonghai responded with a very serious attitude.

"Yi Zhonghai!"

Suddenly, a roar was heard.

It is mixed with boundless anger and hatred.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

Chen Jianye held a kitchen knife in his hand, his eyes were red and his expression was distorted.

Ran quickly towards Yi Zhonghai.

His first target was Yi Zhonghai.

The pension for Chen’s father was withheld and was not given to the Chen family for a long time.

This made Chen's mother worried and upset.

Especially since Yi Zhonghai said he wanted to hold a grand funeral so that Chen's father could leave in a grand manner, Chen's mother did not dare to refuse.

All expenses were borne by the Chen family, and Chen's mother felt increasingly upset.

Although Chen Jianye is young and immature, he is definitely not stupid.

In the year of great disaster, a grand funeral was held, and the residents in the courtyard were fed with good wine and delicious food, and the good reputation went to Yi Zhonghai.

Only the Chen family was wronged!

"Jianye..."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment. Seeing Chen Jianye running towards him with a knife in his hand, he immediately made a choice and ran towards a group of old ladies who were gathered together closest to him.

At his age, if he ran in the opposite direction, he would definitely not be able to outrun the young and strong Chen Jianye.

If you get stabbed, you're dead.

You must escape to crowded places.

There's nothing wrong with sharing the damage among more people.

As for the aftermath, the deceased was in a stable mood.

"Yi Zhonghai, get out of the way."

"Chen Jianye, what are you doing? Don't mess around!"

"Oh my god."

The old sisters-in-law were also shocked.

Some people cursed, some tried to dissuade him, and some lay on the ground crying.

"Yi Zhonghai, don't run!"

Chen Jianye roared, determined to set his goal in mind, to kill Yi Zhonghai first.

If I could still fight, I would continue to kill Jia Zhang next door.

When Yi Zhonghai heard the sound behind him, he regretted that his parents had not given him two more legs. He ran as fast as he could, using all his strength.

After running around the aunts, he ran towards the central courtyard.

Chen Jianye was in hot pursuit.

"What's going on?"

Sha Zhu, who happened to return to the courtyard, saw Chen Jianye running towards the central courtyard with a kitchen knife, and looked puzzled.

"Silly Zhu, Chen Jianye wants to kill an old man, go and stop him."

"Silly Zhu, I think Chen Jianye is crazy, run away."

"Call the police!"

"No, the uncle said that if something happens, you can't call the police, you have to solve it in the hospital."

"The uncle was about to be chopped to death by Chen Jianye."

A group of old sisters-in-law talked at once.

"Fuck! Grandpa!"

Sha Zhu yelled and ran towards the central courtyard, picking up the bench that the old woman used to sit on while chatting.

He wants to save an old man!

"Shazhu is such an honest man."

"Of course not. Yi Zhonghai's own son is here, so we have to think about it."

"What a great man, damn Yi Zhonghai, he led people to our side, I almost peed my pants in fear."

The aunts are discussing it hotly.

I want to stay away from trouble, but I don't want to miss this big show.

Some brave ones even went to the central courtyard, eager to see the scene firsthand.

Sha Zhu rushed into the middle courtyard and saw Yi Zhonghai running away with his hands and feet being chased by Chen Jianye. He yelled, "Uncle, come to me!"

Yi Zhonghai ran so hard that his limbs became weak and he could hardly catch his breath. He chanted the name of his ancestors and Bodhisattvas a hundred times in his mind.

Hearing Sha Zhu's voice, he suddenly gained strength and ran towards Sha Zhu.

As he turned, Chen Jianye, who was chasing him relentlessly, closed the distance between him and Chen Jianye, who clenched the kitchen knife and stabbed Yi Zhonghai in the back of the head.

"Yi Zhonghai, fuck me!"

As Chen Jianye drew his knife, he roared, venting his anger.

boom.

The kitchen knife fell on Yi Zhonghai, making a dull sound.

When Chen Jianye chopped with his knife, Yi Zhonghai was still running forward using his hands and feet.

So the knife did not fall on the back of Yi Zhonghai's head, but on his cotton coat on the back.

The kitchen knife did not cut the cotton coat.

Even so, this knife made Yi Zhonghai fall to the ground with a thud.

He felt the bones in his back break.

His body suddenly lost all strength. Even with a strong will to survive, Yi Zhonghai could only scratch the ground with his hands and feet, dragging his body forward slowly.

Chen Jianye had a grim smile on his face.

With one more strike, he could kill his enemy with his own hands!

Raising the knife, Chen Jianye was about to take action.

"Chen Jianye, fuck me!"

Sha Zhu raised the bench high, as if he was raising an axe, and with a "splitting the mountain with force" move, he smashed the bench hard on Chen Jianye's head.

A thud.

Chen Jianye lowered his body and fell straight backwards.

With a plop and after his body twitched a few times, Chen Jianye lay on the ground without a sound.

"Master!"

Sha Zhu quickly dropped the bench and squatted down to help Yi Zhonghai.

"Silly Zhu, you arrived just in time!"

"hiss!"

Yi Zhonghai burst into tears and stood up with a hiss.

The joy of surviving the disaster filled his mind.

The two did not notice that Chen Jianye, who was lying on the ground without a sound, suddenly twitched his eyebrows.

"damn it."

"I was washing my small head at the club, why is my big head so painful?"

Chen Jianye felt as if his head was hit by an axe and it hurt badly.

Except for his eyebrows twitching a few times in pain, he completely lost control of his body.

A memory flooded into Chen Jianye's mind.
