A Strange Explanation

Tommy pulled Jack into a room in the backyard of the store and asked his wife to go out to buy some meat and beer. They closed the store early. After the wife bought the meat and beer and cooked the dishes, they sat down at the table and started drinking.

At the dinner table, Tommy kept offering Jack drinks. Jack didn’t dare to refuse and didn’t dare to ask what was going on. After half a bottle of beer, it was Tommy who first brought up the topic. He said, “Uncle, I was on the wrong path and killed someone. I was sentenced to death. It was you who saved me, and I’m alive today. Now I’ve turned over a new leaf and won’t do anything illegal anymore. All this is thanks to your help.”

Jack, a bit drunk, looked at Tommy and said, “Nephew, how on earth did you escape from my axe and come here?”
