Chapter 159: The Old Man Herding Sheep
Since the little living Buddha can't find everyone, he won't be looking for him, so where is the little bastard? Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the offspring of mice will steal holes. I am afraid that in another thousand generations, the future president of the country will not be born, and people also feel that in the dark and rumbling night, although the wind blows, there is a cool breeze floating in the river, but when Deshun tells him what he just did, he does not feel even colder.
Let's go, let's go, someone in the crowd said. Deshun is still very weak, and it seems that he will recover for a few days, although he is said to be rescued in time, the internal organs of the body and the brain have not been damaged to varying degrees.
Danian's house was closest to the river, and he ran and pushed a small cart, and there was a bag of wheat straw in the carriage. Several people put Jingxian in the carriage and sent Deshun home. I asked Xiaomei to take the car away, and Xiaomei said, no, I should go home too. After saying that, the sisters who went home with their colleagues left playfully.
I rode to Deshun's house, and my wife was talking to him and wiping him with a hot towel. I comforted them for a while, planned to come back to see them again the next day, and went home.
When I got home, my father and my mother were having dinner, and my father said, "You have been out for a long time, thinking about what you might do, and I will go to the farm in a while." So I won't wait for you, I'll eat first. ”
"Well, you eat, Dad, I'll just eat a piece of dry food, don't be hungry. "I felt like my body was falling apart, and I wanted to fall on the bed all at once, but I sat down in my chair and poured a glass of water to drink.
My father looked at me with a very ugly face, and asked with concern: "Yong, you are not feeling well? Just recovered, don't move, let's talk about it when you're ready. I have a bottle of good wine in the cook, why don't we make two sips by ourselves?" "I know that my father is making me happy, but in fact he doesn't drink at all, how can I refute my father's kindness?"
Dad took out the wine, Liu Ling was drunk! Sure enough, it was good wine. I said, "Dad, why do you keep your wine so tightly?" ”
"I don't know about you, I don't know you, this wine was given by my family ten years ago, and I have been reluctant to drink it!"
"Really? Tell me who will give us wine? We have been honest farmers who have been digging in the soil for eight generations, and who will take a fancy to us?"
Dad smiled, nodded and said, "Boy, you're right, it's true that no one gives gifts to our family, but if you don't send it, you won't give it back, and if you send it, you will be a big official." Ten years ago, it rained heavily one night, and the rain was so heavy that the thunder rang out, and the roofs of the houses were smoking. I haven't experienced that scene in years, and you're still young, and your grandmother is scared to drill into your grandma's badness. It's so good that I coaxed you to sleep!"
"Your mother and I couldn't sleep in the thunderstorm, and we were always afraid that the lightning would damage the house. Many years ago, a family in our village was struck by lightning, and a large fireball entered through the window and came out of the gable of the house, ran to the cowshed, and killed the cow. At that time, the whole family was lying on the kang, and you thought that this fireball could kill even a cow, and it would be strange if it hit a person and not die. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and your mother braved the heavy rain to open the door. ”
"The old couple came in from outside, drenched all over their bodies. The old couple said, we passed by here, and we planned to go to the county seat to buy a ticket to Beijing, but I didn't expect the coachman who drove the carriage to stop doing this job because of the rain. Leave us behind, it's raining so hard, there's no way to beg you to let us deal with it here for a night. As long as it doesn't rain early tomorrow morning, we will immediately hire a carriage to go to the county seat to buy tickets and leave. ”
"Your mother is kind-hearted, so she left the old couple behind, made noodles for them to eat, and changed into wet clothes. The next day, the old couple left with a thousand thanks. It wasn't until a month later that someone from the county sent two bottles of Liu Ling's drunkenness. Your mother and I wondered, we have no relatives far away, who will be considerate of us? Who will give us wine innocently? We suspect that we have sent a bad child. The people in the county said, yes, we have verified the vice governor several times, and it rained that day, so you took in the vice governor who had just taken office overnight. The vice governor is grateful to you, and the county leaders have given you two bottles of wine, hoping that you will be strong. ”
"At that time, we were very happy, but we didn't expect the vice governor to take office in a carriage and make a car. It's a miracle that the old cadres who had just been beaten up and who had been branded as rightists resumed their work at that time. This is an old cadre who went to the province to report in his hometown. I didn't expect it to be an official as big as a vice governor, and let the official give gifts to our people, which is really unexpected. I drank a bottle of pleasure, this bottle I have always treasured, and now we have drunk it!"
I was also excited when I heard this story, and after more than ten years, I didn't know if everything was okay with the vice governor.
My father and I drank and chatted, and my father asked about what Deshun had just said on the street, and I drank while peeling peanuts and said, "It's not a big deal, but Uncle Deshun said that he was caught by a drowned ghost and almost dragged him into the water and drowned! Dad, you say, have people drowned in the Nanhe River in our village in the past dynasties? Are there any ghosts who died unjustly?"
As soon as I asked my father, my father was speechless for a while, and after a while, he said slowly: "It is said that there are old people, if there are really any ghosts in Nanhe, I am not sure, this is mainly because the time is too long." It is impossible for people to verify the authenticity of every detail of it. Here's the general story...... ”
Dad told the following story, during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a strange case in our village, which was on the edge of the South River. It was an autumn noon, and a girl surnamed Lin in the village was ten years old. There were a few rabbits at home, and when they saw that the vegetables for the rabbits were gone, they went to the river bank with baskets on their backs to get some wild vegetables and came back to feed the rabbits.
Due to the perennial humidity on the bank of the Nanhe River, there are many wild vegetables and weeds, especially in the autumn season, the weeds are more than half a person tall, and there are quite a lot of wild vegetables. So the girl surnamed Lin squatted in the grass looking for wild vegetables, hoping to get a basket back to feed the rabbits as soon as possible.
She just lowered her head to get wild vegetables, but she never expected that an old man herding sheep in the distance saw her, and this old man was in his sixties. He often grazes sheep on the banks of this river, and when he sees that every house is cooking at noon, and the wilderness is empty, he can't help but have evil thoughts. He took advantage of the defenselessness of his daughter surnamed Lin and secretly went over. raped the girl surnamed Lin.
After the girl surnamed Lin was raped, she was in a coma at that time, but she still recognized that it was the old man who had ruined him, so she was angry and hateful, and decided to report to the official to punish the rapist.
When I went to the county magistrate at that time, the county magistrate became angry when he heard it, and it was bright and bright in broad daylight, and there was no royal law in the sky. The arrester was ordered to quickly arrest the criminal who was herding sheep and interrogate him.
When the suspect was brought into the case, the county magistrate was stunned, such a bad old man would do the rape of a woman? Impossible, right? In terms of physical strength, he could not lower the victim's strength, and he just had this idea, I'm afraid he was also obscene, right? He did the job? The county magistrate was skeptical. But his face did not show anything, and he still asked aloud what was going on, and he could deny his guilt.
Sure enough, the old man who was herding the sheep refused to admit his guilt, and denied that he had not done it, saying that he had not done anything in that regard many years ago, and he had not done anything that could not be committed. But the girl surnamed Lin insisted that he did a bad thing.
The county magistrate couldn't tell what to do for a while, so he would take it up first.
It happened that an official who was a big official in the capital went home to help the village repair the temple, stayed in the county government for a few days, and heard about the case. The county magistrate told the officials who were big officials in Beijing about his analysis. He thought that the old man was so old that he could not have the ability to do bad things anymore. It's not good that this old man had some dispute with this girl, so he found this excuse to sue him.
When the official in Beijing heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, no, don't look at this old man's old age, he may not have lustful intentions." That kind of thing is also divided into all kinds of people, as long as people have the strength to fight chaff, they will do it!" Jingguan's meaning is obvious, what he said is that as long as he has normal sexual function, although he is old, as long as he moves a bucket of chaff, he will do that job, and he will not admit that there must be hidden secrets.
After listening to it, the county magistrate is still knowledgeable as a big official in the capital, and he said it well. The old man who was herding sheep was brought out and brought to the lobby for torture and interrogation. The old man was recruited in a few moments, but he only said that he had committed adultery with the girl, and the girl asked him to sell the sheep to her after the autumn to make a deputy bracelet. only agreed to have a relationship with him, and later added a pair of earrings after the event. He didn't do it for fear that his family would not be bad, so the two of them had a disagreement, and the girl surnamed Lin turned her face before she came to sue him.
Later, the county magistrate interrogated the daughter surnamed Lin, and the girl was furious, and the old thing was talking nonsense! It was not like that at all! I hope that the lord will avenge the people's daughter!
