Qingcheng's annual fair is dozens of miles away from the famous big set, after all, there are still a few days before the New Year, those big roosters on duty on time to pull the throat, breaking the tranquility of the winter night, waking up the people who are in a hurry to do business, this is the coldest time of the day, although the snow on the road has formed a layer of thin ice, but still did not stop the flow of people in Qingcheng to catch up with the big set.

When the rooster crows three times, the streets of Qingcheng Town are already covered with those merchants who get up early, flashlights, horse lamps quietly pull a little gap in the night, revealing a faint light, the fragrance of the steamed bun pot wafts out, making people smell salivating, the "squeak" frying sound made by the fritter pot knocks on the nerves of those people who have an empty stomach in the morning, the streets are crowded with people, some are clearing the snow, some are busy setting up stalls, some are setting up goods, these businessmen's busy day is unveiled in this cold and tranquility.

Qingcheng Town has set up a large array of holiday gifts, and the people from all over the world have also gotten up early and flocked to Qingcheng Town from all directions. Father-in-law Sun hasn't shown a smiling face yet, Lao Mu, like everyone else, ate early, rode out and went straight to Qingcheng Town, thinking about preparing some New Year's goods early, and then going to the school to see Mu Zhen, casually asking about the second egg.

Due to the thin ice on the road, Lao Mu rode carefully along the way, worried that he would accidentally fall and make jokes.

After the last small bridge, it is Qingcheng Town, although this small bridge is only a stone bridge across the irrigation canal, but because the slope protection on both sides of the irrigation canal is slightly higher, the slope formed makes people walking on this slippery road never dare to take it lightly, Lao Mu got off the car in advance, was about to get on the bridge, the voice of the two people in front of him attracted its attention, Lao Mu was stunned, slowly followed, and couldn't help but hold his breath and listen.

"I heard that the young man who beat your son asked the police station to release him. The old man in the middle of the road said to the hunchback on his left.

"I heard about it yesterday, too!"

"It is said that there is no crime in beating someone?"

"Hey, how can there be no guilt? That's why I'm here so early today, and I'm going to the police station to theorize!"

"What's your theory?"

"My son's eyes still can't be opened, how can I say that he is not guilty?

"You really don't understand, I heard the eldest nephew driving in the police station yesterday say that it was your son who made the first move, and the young man who beat him was just legitimate defense, of course there is no crime!"

"Well, then at least some medical expenses will have to be paid, right?"

"Are you still in the dark?"

"How can you be in the dark, in what drum?" asked the hunchbacked old man, turning his head to the old man in the middle of the road.

"You really don't know?"

"I know what, I know that if he beat my son, he should be contracted to recuperate!" said the hunchbacked old man a little angrily.

"You don't know the truth, at that time, it was your son and a few other people who wanted to borrow money from two students, although they verbally said that they were borrowing, but in fact it was like robbing, this is a crime, the little young man who beat people is uneven, he didn't want to do it, your son started beating the young man first, and was beaten in the eyes of your son, this is the truth, you must not go to the police station, otherwise you can only ask for your own hardship!"

"What you say is true!"

"Then there can be a fake, this is from the police station, and I heard that your son went with those few people, and he will have to suffer a lawsuit!"

The hunchbacked old man immediately lost the confidence he had just now, and said a little resentfully: "My son is really not angry, he mixes with those children who don't do his job all day long, and I don't know how many evils he has done outside, I can't control it, now let the police station take care of it, but it's also worry-free!"

"Look at what you said, it's too late to say anything now, this is at least a first offense, let's see if you can find someone, whether you can avoid the lawsuit, it's the best policy!"

The hunchbacked old man didn't reply immediately, the two were silent, but Lao Mu's heart was not calm, and he secretly thought: "According to this guess, the one who was beaten by the second egg was the son of the hunchbacked old man, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, our police station also injured his eye?"

Lao Mu slowed down a little slower, wanting to listen carefully to what else the two of them were discussing?

"Where is there anything we have at the police station, your eldest nephew is driving at the police station, see if you can help with this, let him help be accommodating, don't let us eat this lawsuit, don't win?"

"That's right, I'll ask him for you!"

"I'll go to the market to buy something, and follow you to your house, this is the New Year, we can't go to your house empty-handed!" The hunchbacked old man was polite, as if he didn't have the tiger spirit just now.

"I'm just talking, it's all from the neighbors, and I don't need to be so polite!" the old man in the middle of the road replied easily.

"Thank you so much, I just don't buy you anything, and I can't leave your eldest nephew in vain, this big holiday, go to the market to buy some things, let's go to your house together! Otherwise, it will show that you are not sincere in helping!" The hunchbacked old man said very seriously, and the old man in the middle of the road nodded, approving the hunchbacked old man's words.

"The beater, I heard that it was from Xia Li Village, said that he knew some kung fu, it is said that his subordinates were merciful, otherwise your son's eyes would not be saved, I heard the eldest nephew say, this person is loyal, usually never causes trouble, and blows a good suona, maybe you have seen this person in the village funeral blowing team!"

Lao Mu heard it clearly, Xia Li Cun can prove that the beater must be Erdan, there is no doubt that the heart hanging when he came fell to the ground, Erdan has already returned home, and it is indeed as Tiancheng said, justified defense, acquitted.

Lao Mu felt a lot more relaxed, and the resentment that had been held in his heart for a few days immediately disappeared.
