Chapter 303: Shen Xinhui's Mother
Holidays always go by very quickly. I was shocked to realize that the holiday was almost over when I received a call from the fourth child. The fourth child came back early. He couldn't bear to leave Cuicui, so he went back to school early.
Naturally, I didn't have a quiet life when the fourth child came back. I moved back to the school from Sister Zhao's house. The students in the school were returning one after another, but there were not too many people.
On this day, the fourth child and I asked Gao Fei to take Cuicui to Zhanghua Temple. Zhanghua Temple is of course a temple with a history of more than 200 years. It is located in the urban area and is very popular.
This city is a tourist attraction. There are many tourists here during the Chinese New Year. A few of us followed the crowd and went to the temple to visit.
I don’t believe in Buddhism, but as a Chinese, I dare not be disrespectful to Buddha. We walked from temple to temple. The temple was filled with fragrance and Sanskrit sounds. Many believers were worshiping devoutly. Although they were old people, but
This scene still makes people feel respectful. The God of Wealth Temple is the most popular place, and people waiting to offer incense are lined up in a long queue. I know that this is not the time when there are so many people, but it is the busiest on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Many believers will
Waited in line all night.
A few of us didn't bother to queue up. We came to the temple just to hang out and soak up some incense. We didn't even buy incense. Just when we were about to leave the temple, there was a sudden noise from the Temple of Wealth.
Our location is just outside the Temple of Wealth. The queue waiting to offer incense is folded along the temple gate. Some monks are maintaining order. Suddenly, the crowd starts to retreat from the temple gate. There are many people, and I don’t know what happened.
What happened? I saw the crowd starting to get into chaos.
"It's great that you have money, but you can't do it if you don't line up!" a man shouted loudly.
"None of your business, it's a dog trying to catch a mouse," another male voice cursed.
"Who are you scolding?"
"It's you I'm scolding!"
"Hey, there's a good show to watch." The fourth child said cheerfully.
"There's nothing to see, let's go." Cuicui didn't want to cause trouble.
The crowd suddenly retreated, revealing the entrance of the Temple of Wealth. I saw two groups of people fighting over each other.
"The fight is about to begin!" Lao Si shouted.
I saw several monks standing aside, trying to start a fight, but no one listened.
"There's nothing to see, let's go." I didn't want to watch, there was really nothing to see.
We were about to leave when something suddenly changed on the other side of the fight. The two groups dispersed. What started as a fight turned into a melee. The scene was a bit chaotic and I couldn't see clearly. I saw people chasing and beating each other.
Someone was knocked to the ground, and the onlookers hurriedly ran away.
This is what happens in group fights in crowded places. You don't know who is fighting with whom, and you can't tell who is with whom. Some people are running away, while others are chasing after them. I saw some people holding wooden sticks in their hands, and they couldn't tell.
I know where I picked it up, and there was someone holding half a brick. Not far from us, a man was curled up on the ground, being kicked by two people.
There were already many people in the temple, but in such a chaos, many people who didn't know the truth either hid or wanted to come over to take a look, making the situation even more chaotic.
The three of us had fought back a lot and had experience, so we protected Cuicui and walked quickly to the temple gate. Don't watch the excitement at this time, and leave as quickly as possible to avoid being accidentally injured.
Everyone in the temple wanted to go out. The closer I got to the temple gate, the more people there were. I took a look and found that the temple gate was crowded with people, and the crowds were surging. It must be that someone outside wanted to come in and watch the fun, so the people inside couldn't get out for a while.
.
This temple is an old temple and has been renovated several times. However, the temple gate has always been this big and has not been expanded. When there is usually order, it is not easy to get in and out when there are many people. Now it is definitely crowded with such a mess.
"Let's go over there." I pointed to a flower bed not far away.
If you go out now, you will definitely be blocked at the entrance of the temple. There is no point in squeezing there. It is better to find a remote location and wait for things to calm down. But the fight is not a terrorist attack, so there is no need to panic.
The four of us walked towards the flower bed among the panicked crowd.
Suddenly I heard a woman's scream. I turned around and saw that a girl not far from me was pushed to the ground. A woman next to her was anxiously trying to pull her up. Not far from them, two
Two men were hitting each other with their weapons. One of the men had his back to the two women and was retreating, only a few meters away from the two women.
"Shen Xinhui!" I called out. The girl lying on the ground was none other than Shen Xinhui, whom I knew, although I had only met her a few times.
I saw Shen Xinhui being pulled by the woman's arm and about to get up. The two fighting men were running while fighting. Suddenly Shen Xinhui was knocked down by one of the men.
I quickly ran towards her, and the fourth child and the others also ran towards her.
I went over and grabbed Shen Xinhui's arm. The woman was so anxious that she slapped me in the face: "What are you doing!"
Just as I was about to answer, several people waving sticks came over in confusion. Group fights are very blind. I guess the two guys on my side were the main members, so they attracted more accomplices.
The sticks were beating randomly, and those who were eager to get hit were all hot-headed. I didn't care what to say to the woman, so I picked up Shen Xinhui and held her in my arms, and received a blow on my back.
"**!" Lao Si kicked the person who hit me.
"Fourth!" I shouted, don't get involved at this time, you will cause trouble if you do it.
Sure enough, a man turned around and hit the fourth child with a stick.
Laosi pulled Cuicui back, Gao Fei went up and kicked him high, and the man was swept to the ground by Gao Fei.
Seeing that we were about to be involved in the chaos, suddenly a group of policemen rushed in from the temple gate. The policemen held batons in their hands and shouted: "Stop! Stop fighting!"
During the Chinese New Year, there must be police on duty in crowded places like this. The police arrived relatively quickly. It took only five minutes from the start of the fight to the time they showed up.
As soon as the police appeared, the temple immediately became quiet. Except for the unlucky guy who fell on the ground, the other attackers or those who were beaten were all hiding.
The police spread out and caught a few conspicuous guys. There must be something missing, but when the police went back for an interrogation, they found everything.
"Hey! You still don't let me go!" I received another slap on my back, and the woman slapped me again, more forcefully, but I was wearing a down jacket, so it didn't hurt.
"Let me go." Only then did I realize that I was still holding Shen Xinhui, and I quickly let go.
"Who are you?" the woman asked fiercely.
"Mom, she's my classmate." Shen Xinhui said.
"Hello, Auntie." I quickly smiled at Shen's mother.
"Classmate..." Shen's mother gave me a wary look.
At this time, a policeman came towards us. The guy in front of us who was knocked down by Goofy hadn't gotten up yet, so the police would naturally be called.
The police held down the guy on the ground and then handcuffed him.
"He, he beat me." The man pointed at Gao Fei and shouted.
The policeman looked back at Gao Fei.
"Comrade police, we are tourists, there is a misunderstanding." I said hurriedly.
"You come back with us and explain everything clearly." The policeman pointed at Gao Fei.
"It really has nothing to do with us, we are students." I took out my student ID card.
"It doesn't matter if you go to the police station, it will become clear. What are you in a hurry about?" the policeman said.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll go there." Gao Fei stopped me and said.
"I'll go with you." I said.
"Mom, let's get a certificate too," Shen Xinhui said, holding her mother's arm.
"It's so unlucky that even a little incense can ruin this!" Shen's mother said angrily.
We stayed at the police station for a short while and then came out. The matter was very simple. The police questioned the people fighting on both sides, asked us again, and then let us go. It was obvious that our group was not causing trouble.
I found that Mother Shen seemed to have a bad temper and almost got into an argument with the police at the police station. If Shen Xinhui hadn't stopped her, I don't think we would have gotten out so quickly.
After leaving the police station, Shen's mother was still nagging: "Why did you stop me just now? Do they do anything like this? We are obviously victims. Look at the tone of his questioning, it makes me so angry!"
"Mom." Shen Xinhui glanced at us sheepishly.
I didn't expect that such a gentle girl like Shen Xinhui would have such a powerful mother.
"Auntie, I've made you angry. How about we have a meal together to calm your nerves." I said with a smile.
I just said it casually, trying to change the topic.
"Okay, we're going to eat anyway." Shen's mother agreed without any hesitation.
"Mom!" Shen Xinhui yelled accusingly, and then said to me: "You go and eat, I will go home with my mother to eat."
"What's wrong with having a meal together? If you are interested, why don't you go?" Shen's mother said loudly: "There is a very good restaurant in front. Let's go, let's go there to eat."
"Mom, why are you like this?" Shen Xinhui said helplessly.
"It's okay, it's okay, we are all classmates, why don't we just have a meal together." I smiled.
"That's right, look how generous this young man is." Shen's mother said with satisfaction.
A group of us went to the restaurant that Shen's mother mentioned. This restaurant was a small restaurant, busy and busy, and there were quite a few people waiting for a table outside.
"Why are there so many people! People don't cook at home during the Chinese New Year." Shen's mother was unhappy again.
I smiled and glanced at Shen's mother who was full of anger. It was really hard for Shen Xinhui to have such a mother.
"Auntie, why don't we go over there to eat? There are fewer people there." I pointed to a restaurant across the street and said.
"Ah! There, Haihuangxian Restaurant, it's very expensive!" Mother Shen glanced at me.
"It's okay, auntie. If you hadn't testified just now, I would have eaten lunch at the police station today." I smiled. I am considered capable now. I have a card with me. Sister Zhao sends me a card every month. I have money in the card, plus what I got before, and a good meal, I still feel confident.
"Young man, you have a good character. I saw it just now. It's rare that you have such a heart. I can't refute your face." Shen's mother said cheerfully.
Shen Xinhui stopped talking. She must have been used to her mother's behavior.
We entered Neptune Restaurant, I asked for a private room, and then asked the waiter to give the menu to Shen’s mother. Shen’s mother took the menu and looked at it: “Oh my god, it’s so expensive.”
