After a long pause, Zhang Laohan finally spoke, "Let's not say it, we don't have any ironclad evidence." ”

Obviously, although Zhang Laohan really wanted to return food and money, or compensation, he considered the consequences and was afraid that it would affect the relationship with him without conclusive evidence.

"Say, why don't you say it, why don't you say it, they stole our things, how can there be any reason not to say it, I can't swallow this breath, and besides, I'm going to starve to death." The old man's eyes burst with fire that burned everything, and his lips were clenched with the teeth of the dead creatures.

Seeing that the old man was unhappy, Zhang Laohan was not angry, but calmly explained to the old man, "I said child, we can't just see that our things have been stolen, we have to consider the overall situation." ”

The old man patted the table, "What's the consequence, the big deal is to tear your face, what are you afraid of!"

Seeing that Zhang Laohan and Lao Fu were arguing in full swing, Xiao Mu felt very uncomfortable, thinking about why he brought those two brothers to the house for dinner, why he had to let them see when he took the key, and why he didn't have much heart.

No matter what he thought, Xiao Mu felt that it was his fault.

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have brought them to the house for dinner. Xiao Mu interrupted the quarrel between Mr. and Mrs. Zhang.

Immediately, Zhang Laohan said, "Xiao Mu, how can this be all blamed on you, if you hadn't been asked to go with them to herd cattle at that time, there would have been no future, besides, no one thought that those two brothers were such people, so don't blame yourself, it's okay, it's all my negligence and your grandmother's negligence." ”

Xiao Mu couldn't help but glance at Zhang Laohan and Lao Fu, for fear that he would be scolded, and afraid that Zhang Lao Han and Lao Fu would continue to quarrel, "Then you won't talk about me, will you still quarrel?"

"Hey, how can my grandmother and I be willing to talk about you, it's too late to hurt you, it's impossible to scold you, and they all said, I don't blame you for this, who knew it would be like this, stupid boy. "Zhang Laohan spoke very gently, unprecedentedly gentle.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Laohan said to the old man: "Look at you, what kind of table do you shoot, look at Xiao Mu, you can't say anything well, what is the roar, really, a tigress is a tigress." ”

Hearing this, the old man was not happy with his violent temper, but when he was about to refute, he suddenly held back his words, because she was also afraid that Xiao Mu would be sad, and she was afraid that Xiao Mu would think too much.

So the old man pointed at Zhang Laohan and gritted his teeth and said, "You, you, hey!"

I kind of hate the meaning that iron does not become steel.

Zhang Laohan looked at Xiao Mu and the old man, as if reminding of something, "That's it, no one is allowed to mention it, the past is over, there is nothing to say." ”

Who knows, how many times Zhang Laohan wanted to mention it, wanted to ask for compensation, but he couldn't, he was not a person, but a family, and there was not enough evidence to prove all this.

I thought this was the end of the day, but it wasn't.

It didn't take long for the people in the village to start discussing, whose children and whose children stole Zhang Laohan's house, and how.

This word reached Zhang Laohan's ears, and he was very uncomfortable when he heard it, so he asked the old man, "Did you tell the story, why are the people in the village talking about it?"

Regarding Zhang Laohan's scolding, the old man still had a full face, "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything." ”

Zhang Laohan pointed at Xiao Mu, "Xiao Mu, isn't it you?"

Xiao Mu put on a very innocent look, "No, it's not me, I haven't been out to play recently, who am I talking to." ”

Zhang Laohan said to himself: "Hey, who leaked the news, it's only been a few days since it all spread." ”

Zhang Laohan found a stool and sat down, took out his cigarette pouch and smoked it, staring at the bluestone slab with his eyes in deep thought.

Xiao Mu suddenly remembered that Zhang Laohan had said that he heard the shopkeeper on the street say that the two brothers were selling things, and then he was suddenly overjoyed, "Grandpa, grandpa, could it be that the shopkeeper passed it on?"

At this time, Zhang Laohan suddenly realized, "Hey, yes, I didn't expect it." ”

But Zhang Laohan still shook his head and sighed.

Xiao Mu saw that Zhang Laohan was depressed and asked, "What's the matter, grandpa, why are you still depressed when you know who told you that you are not happy?"

"Xiao Mu, you are still shallow in the world, and you don't know the truth, sometimes, it may not be a good thing to spread it. Zhang Laohan looked at the ignorant Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu seemed a little confused when he heard this, and he couldn't find the north.

These big truths are not something he must understand at his age, and it is normal not to understand them.

"Grandpa, then you don't want to spread this matter, so now that it has been spread by others, what should I do?" Xiao Mu asked curiously.

"What else can I do, if it spreads, it spreads, what else can I do. Zhang Laohan's answer was a little helpless.

At this time, a villager in the village shouted to Zhang Laohan: "Lao Zhang, is it true that I heard that your family's grain was stolen? And it was stolen by so-and-so in the village, is that so?"

This person had a wicked smile, and even the two thick eyebrows were soft ripples, as if he had been smiling all the time.

Xiao Mu scolded fiercely in his heart: "You guy, go to work, you have to stop and talk about it." ”

"Cough, don't say it, it's stolen, but I don't know who it is, I can only admit it!" Zhang Laohan showed a look of nonchalance.

"Doesn't that mean that whoever in the village stole it? and sold it on the street. The villager then said.

"Who said it, I don't know, don't talk nonsense without evidence, we can't wronged good people, we can't talk nonsense. Zhang Laohan roared angrily, and the sound rolled like heavy thunder, spreading far and wide.

The name of the village seemed to be a little frightened, Zhang Laohan got angry, and then changed his words and said: "Yes, those are just legends, and there is no evidence, just listen to it." ”

Seeing that the villagers had changed, Zhang Laohan said calmly: "That's not good, so I can only accept my fate." ”

After hearing the name of the village, he left, sighing before leaving.

I don't know whether to lament the misfortune of Xiao Mu's family, or lament that Zhang Laohan did not go to the two boys to make it clear that he wanted compensation, or lamented that Zhang Laohan did not have enough evidence, or lamented the current situation, this is unknown, only sighs are seen, it is really infinitely reverie.

And Xiao Mu didn't understand why Zhang Laohan was angry from beginning to end, after the villagers said those words.

Is the consequences really that serious? No one knows, and there is no way to verify, because this matter has just passed, and no one has mentioned it.

Until one day later, Xiao Mu found a strange thing in the back mountain.
