Xiaobai was only ten years old at that time. When he learned that his father was dead and the owner of the coal mine refused to pay, he stole his mother's kitchen knife from home and sharpened it with a whetstone. Holding the kitchen knife, he went to the owner's house in the dead of night.
The owner of the coal mine was a foreigner named Wang Shaohua. His wife and children were in his hometown. Usually, he lived in the kiln with a few fellow villagers. Although he lived in the mine, the owner lived in the best house, with air conditioner, color TV and telephone. But this place was far from the city, so the owner didn't live there. Nine out of ten days, he went to spend the night with his mistress in the city.
But one day, a leader of the mine came to inspect. It happened that the leader was a just and impartial official. When he heard that someone had died in the mine, he came to investigate. When Wang Shaohua heard that the leader came for the dead man, he quickly explained to him what happened that day. He put the blame of Xiaobai's father's death on his father's head, saying that Xiaobai's father's death was caused by illegal operation.
But after all, it was a big event. No matter how unhappy Wang Shaohua was, he didn't dare to show it in front of the leader. He tearfully talked about his relationship with the coal miners in the mine. He said that when he knew that the deceased Lao Shi still had a wife and children, he specially paid a huge sum of 200,000 yuan as compensation to Lao Shi's orphans. The other coal miners who had received the benefits in advance saw that the boss began to put on a show, and hurriedly echoed that it was true.
The leader saw that Wang Shaohua was very emotional and tearful. There were also workers who testified that the accident was caused by Lao Shi's own operation error. Since Wang Shaohua had handled the matter himself, the leader didn't say anything more and went back to the county with his secretary and attendants.
Wang Shaohua saw off the leader who came to inquire about the case, and the cold sweat on his forehead was almost coming down. In order to completely solve the problem, Wang Shaohua held a grand banquet in the coal mine in the evening and invited all the 24 coal miners in the coal field. He toasted with them at the banquet. After three rounds of drinking, Wang Shaohua took out 24 red envelopes from his bag, each of which contained 1,000 yuan.
When the 24 coal miners saw the boss giving out a red envelope, they understood what the boss meant. They knew that this was the hush money. Everyone thought that the person was already dead, and the leader was here. Since the people didn't report and the officials didn't investigate, they might as well help the boss. So everyone took the red envelope with a smile.
When Wang Shaohua saw his workers all took the red envelopes in his hands, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought that the matter was settled. As for the two orphans and widows of the Shi family, Wang Shaohua didn't care about them at all. There was nothing to be afraid of. Even if he asked them to appeal to the higher authorities, they didn't have the ability to do so. They probably didn't even know which direction the door of the Public Security Bureau and the Letters and Calls Bureau was facing.
The matter was finally settled. Wang Shaohua was in a good mood. During the banquet, he drank with a group of black devils and called each other brothers. It seemed that they were very close! During this dinner, everyone drank more than 40 bottles of white wine and hundreds of bottles of beer. Everyone was drunk and unconscious, including Wang Shaohua.
Because he drank too much, he didn't plan to go back to the city at night. He planned to spend the night in the room that he didn't live in much in the mine. The other 24 miners had already gone back to their beds to sleep. Wang Huasheng walked alone. He turned off the kitchen light and walked out.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, he happened to have the urge to pee. He drank one bottle of white wine and seven bottles of beer that night and had never gone to the toilet. It could be seen that his kidneys were very good. However, in this barren mountain, there was no need to find a toilet. He could just stand on the roadside and pee outside.
That day happened to be the 14th day of the eighth lunar month. There was only one day left before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon was almost full. The moonlight shone on the coal mine, and the light was absorbed by the coal. The ground was dark. Under the moonlight, Wang Huasheng staggered to the roadside in front of the kitchen door. He unzipped his pants and took out his huge thing from his crotch. A white and urgent stream of urine spurted out. Because he drank too much beer that night, his urine was white, but he didn't smell the stench.
Little White, ah no, he should still be called Shi Yongchuan at that time. He happened to be squatting in the grass under the roadside. Wang Huasheng's white and urgent stream of urine was poured all over his head. His scalp felt wet in an instant, but Shi Yongchuan held back and did not cry out.
He clenched the kitchen knife in his hand tightly, looking for an opportunity. A minute later, Wang Shaohua finally finished peeing. He lazily stuffed his big bird into his crotch, then pulled up the zipper, and staggered to the house where he slept while singing the empty city stratagem from the Peking Opera.
"I was watching the mountain scenery from the city tower when I heard the chaos outside the city. Banners fluttered in the air, but it turned out to be the soldiers sent by Sima."
When he was singing this sentence, Wang Shaohua suddenly felt that something was wrong. He always felt that someone was following him. "Could it be the ghost of that bastard Shi? He knew that I had done something wrong to him and died with a grievance, so he came up from the underworld to find me?"
Wang Shaohua was terrified at the thought of this. When he was about to speed up to his house, suddenly, a tall figure appeared on the ground in front of him. He was slowly approaching him at a speed visible to the naked eye. The slender figure was also getting shorter and shorter, shorter and shorter, and finally shorter and shorter than his own shadow. Wang Shaohua suddenly thought, where did this ghost's shadow come from?
He immediately thought that this must be a prank made by someone. He was extremely angry and thought to himself, "Who is this little bastard? How dare he scare me in the middle of the night? I must beat him half to death."
Wang Shaohua suddenly turned around and was ready to directly punch the person who scared him in the middle of the night. But when he just turned around, before his fist was out, Wang Huasheng saw a big, bright and thin thing, flashing a cold light, waving at him. Wang Huasheng was stunned and recognized what it was at a glance. It was something that every family used — a kitchen knife.
But it was too late to react at this time. Shi Yongchuan's knife almost used all his strength. Although he was only ten years old, he was already 1.4 meters tall. The kitchen knife in his hand could reach Wang Shaohua's neck. Shi Yongchuan originally wanted to cut the back of Wang Shaohua's neck, but he did not expect that Wang Huasheng would suddenly turn around.
But it didn't matter. It was impossible for your body to suddenly grow taller when you turned around. The position of the neck was still the same. Shi Yongchuan's knife was fast and urgent. The sharp blade directly swept across Wang Shaohua's neck and cut his throat directly. Wang Huasheng immediately died and died before he could even scream. Shi Yongchuan had killed someone for the first time.
It was the first time Shi Yongchuan had killed someone, so one could imagine how nervous he was. At first, he was afraid when he wanted to brandish the knife, but when he picked up the kitchen knife and swung it at Wang Shaohua, all the fear in Shi Yongchuan's heart disappeared. He thought of his father's miserable state when he was carried out of the kiln, of his mother's red and swollen eyes from crying, and of Wang Shaohua laughing and cursing with a group of workers when they were drinking. Suddenly, he was not afraid anymore. Instead, his heart was filled with grief for his father's death. He turned his grief into strength and directly slit the throat of this heartless coal boss.
After killing Wang Shaohua, Shi Yongchuan did not run away immediately. He thought that since he had killed Wang Shaohua, he would not be afraid of stealing money. So he took out Wang Shaohua's wallet and washed away more than 2,000 yuan in cash. Then he threw the wallet into an abandoned cave and ran to the river where he often swam with the kitchen knife.
Shi Yongchuan washed himself clean in the river, washing away the blood on his face and body. Then, he hid the kitchen knife under a boulder at the bottom of the river. Then, he moved a few more boulders and buried the kitchen knife.
After hiding the kitchen knife, Shi Yongchuan put on his clothes and sneaked back home with more than two thousand yuan. After saying goodbye to his mother, Mrs. Bai, he went back to his room to sleep. Mrs. Bai thought her son had gone out to play with someone again, so she didn't ask much. She walked into the bedroom alone and secretly wiped away her tears.
The next morning, a rumor spread in the village that a lot of policemen had come to the coal mine in the mountain. It was said that the boss of the coal mine, Mr. Wang, was killed by an evil ghost. The villagers were talking about it at that time. They said that Mr. Wang deserved it for his evil deeds. A man of the Shi family died in the mine, and they only paid 5,000 yuan to the orphan and the widow. How could the orphan and the widow live?
Now that he was dead, it must be because Shi saw his wife and children being bullied and his future lost. He died with grievances, so he came from the underworld to take Mr. Wang's life.
The villagers were talking about it, and the death of Mr. Wang became more and more unbelievable. Anyway, no matter how unbelievable it was, they basically said that Mr. Wang was bitten to death by the evil ghost of Shi.
But the police didn't think so. After the autopsy, the forensic doctor concluded that there were no other wounds on Wang Shaohua's body except for the scar on his neck, and there was no hidden disease in his body, which showed that Wang Shaohua's death must be man-made, and he was directly cut to death with a knife.
