Chapter 12 The Judgment

Although our Gun Family is an ancient family that has been passed down for more than 1,600 years, we do not have the kind of family tree or the typeface for naming names.

However, there are rules for naming the Gun family. Regardless of gender, the name can only be one word, and it cannot be shared with known relatives. If it is a tribe who has lost contact or an ancestor who has no name, it doesn’t matter if it is a tribe who has lost contact or an ancestor who has no name.

My cousins ​​and my cousins ​​were both named by my second grandfather. My second grandfather had never been to school, but he knew a teacher who had learned some words and could understand newspapers. Before education became popular, my second grandfather was considered half a cultural person. I thank my second grandfather for his blessing. We all have a good name in the next generation, unlike the children from the neighbors who call them cats and dogs.

The cousin's name is "Xing". He is the eldest of our branch and our generation. The second grandfather has high hopes for him and hopes that he can make the family prosperous, so he gave him such a name.

My cousin is nine years older than me. When I can remember clearly, he was almost graduated from elementary school. My uncle didn’t have high requirements for himself and his children. He felt that as long as people recognize common characters, they could do arithmetic, so he didn’t let my cousin go to middle school. After graduating from elementary school, he asked someone to send him to the factory as an apprentice.

After learning about this, my second grandfather was so angry that he chased my uncle with a stick and beat him, saying that he was not good at being strong and that he would not let his son be strong. When he was beaten, he looked very similar to my father and refused to give in. He even shouted, "Studying? Can school support the family?" My second grandfather's face was so angry that he was so angry.

Not only the cousin, but none of our generation's children have finished the sixteenth year of school. It's not that we are not good at it, but that our family cannot afford to support us.

In my opinion, it’s nothing to do without going to school, and learning is not something that requires you to do in school. As long as you know the words, you can check dictionaries, and you can do your own learning. But I don’t know what the purpose of doing this learning is. I often say something when my uncle is beaten, but the word “study” has become “study”.

On the 18th, I invited Si Congpo to dinner and went home. As soon as I got home, my father was going to take me out and said he was going to my second grandfather's house. When I saw that my father only took me there, and did not take my mother and grandmother, I knew that we were not going to see my second grandfather or had a reunion dinner, but to a meeting.

The Gun Family also has a rule: When a family encounters a major event or someone makes a mistake, they must hold a meeting, discuss, or judge. The meeting is chaired by the highest-ranking person in the family. All males over 16 years old must attend. Boys under the age of sixteen can also come, but they can only listen. Women are not allowed to come.

My cousin was released from the Capital Security Bureau yesterday. This was obviously held for him, and it was probably a trial meeting. My second grandfather is a person who likes stability and hates the rest of the party the most. If nothing unexpected happens, my cousin will have to eat at least one meal this time.

Perhaps it was because our ancestors were military officers, and our gun family punished people for hitting boards. It was said that in the past, they directly hit military sticks, which were as thick as an adult man's wrist. If his subordinates were not merciless, they could make them lose their skin and flesh. When they were young, their father often told me these things, saying that if I made mistakes, they would have to be beaten and smash their butts, so I was very obedient when I was a child.

In fact, my cousin had already been hit by a board once. That time, because he didn't even say hello to his family, he gave up his job in the factory and went out to the wild - the elders thought he was outside, but I knew that he was outside and did not live outside, but was trying to die with his group of comrades outside.

That time, my cousin got twenty boards and was the executioner's uncle. After all, he was his own son. When his uncle beat the board, he must have shown mercy.

The board with four fingers wide and two fingers thick, was firmly hit twenty times. Even a man with iron can't get off the ground the next day. But what about cousin? The day after he got hit the board, he ran away again.

When my father and I arrived, the others had already arrived. Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, four cousins, three cousins, one of them just turned sixteen this year, plus the second grandfather, there were eleven people in total. Including my father and me, there were thirteen people in total.

Everyone gathered in the master bedroom. Grandpa second sat on the kang with his legs crossed. Uncle, Uncle and Uncle third stood beside the kang. The cousins ​​stood below. The cousin knelt on the ground, facing Grandpa second.

"Bianzi, Riko, here you go."

Before we could speak after we entered the house, the second grandfather spoke. Dad asked the second grandfather and stood next to the uncle. I asked the second grandfather and several uncles, and stood next to my cousins.

"It's just started?"

After standing still, I asked my second cousin in a low voice. My second cousin is also my uncle's son, six years older than me, married, and currently works in a factory. My second cousin is a man of duty. He will do whatever his uncle asks him to do and never talk back.

The second cousin grinned, shook his head repeatedly, and replied in a low voice: "It's coming after lunch."

"ha?"

It's afternoon now, and it's already very late, and it's probably dark in another hour. If my cousin started kneeling there at noon, he would have been kneeling for at least three hours.

Before I could ask again, Grandpa II spoke again.

"Riko, come here."

"Hey!"

I quickly responded, walked quickly to my second grandfather, and owed my lower body.

"Second Grandpa, you give me instructions."

"Come on, stand here."

Grandpa II grabbed my arm and asked me to stand in front of him.

"Xingko! Kowtow to Riko!"

My! Mom!

Before my cousin could respond, I waved my hands repeatedly, so panicked that I almost couldn't speak.

"No, no, no, no, no... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! This, this, this, this, this, this, this, this!"

"What's wrong with it!"

The second grandfather raised his eyebrows and patted his thighs with a "splash".

"You saved that bastard's life! The grace of saving lives is greater than the sky! What's wrong with asking him to kowtow a few times! Kowtow!! Kowtow now!!!"

I turned to look at my uncle and happened to see him nodding in agreement. I looked at my cousin again in embarrassment. He had bent down and his forehead was about to hit the ground.

I really wanted to stop him, but my arm was grabbed by my second grandfather. If I wanted to stop my cousin, I had to break away from my second grandfather's hand. How dare I do such a traitor? So I could only watch my cousin kowtow to me, and I felt very miserable.

If you are kowtowed by your cousin, you will not be able to lose your life or be struck by lightning?

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The cousin kowtowed three times, his bruised forehead was broken, and a clear blood mark was left on the ground. When he finished kowtowing, the second grandfather calmly felt relieved and asked him.

"Xingzi, do you know your mistake?"

The cousin raised his chest and said three words loudly: No! I know! I know!

Are you looking for a fight?

I turned my back to my second grandfather and winked at him desperately. My cousin looked at me gratefully and then said loudly.

"Riko, I have written down your kindness. If there is a next life, I will be a cow and a horse for you! But Riko! Remember! Some things are about bleeding! You have to sacrifice! Don't bleed or sacrifice! There will be no change! The board that I am hit today is about sacrifice! It is worth it!"
