Chapter 9
"Old man, you have to look for your son early in the morning, it's almost dark, even if you rush to the other side of the mountain before six o'clock, but at night the lights are blind, how can you come back?
Through the eyelids, I saw that the old man had a hint of hesitation, and then patted his head, "Look at the older I get, the more confused I become, I don't understand such a simple truth." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”C
After speaking, the old man looked at me, "Young man, where are you going, I will send you there, and after sending you, I will go home and wait for my son." ”
"I'm going to town, it should be too late to see the time, why don't you spend the night at the old man's house tonight, is the old man willing?"
When the old man heard me say this, he immediately turned around the ox cart and helped me into the ox cart with a smile, talking as he walked.
"Young man, you can't see because you want to go to the city to see a doctor? Let me tell you, the medical expenses in the city are very expensive, and some time ago my son brought medicine back for the neighbor's house, and there are more than 200 of those kinds of medicine alone. ”
Speaking of this, I heard the old man sigh and whisper: "But my neighbor didn't give me a penny, and in turn said that my son bought it expensive, tell me who this is!"
I thought about it for a moment and asked, "Who did your son carry the medicine for, and when did he leave the house?"
The old man was dissatisfied: "It's not the medicine I brought for Feng Laosan's daughter next door, when it comes to leaving home, it means that no one will be seen on the day I finish delivering the medicine to Feng Laosan's daughter, that is, three days ago." ”
I wondered, "Oh, why is the person missing?"
"Well, blame me, blame him for a few words, say that he spends money indiscriminately, and then he makes it impossible to say that he wants to go out hunting, and then sells the game and pays me back. The old man said with a little frustration: "Actually, we are father and son, where can we talk about repaying the money? I just want him to save a little, and I blame me for not having the ability! If I have the ability, can my son go out hunting? If I have the ability, I don't need the money to bring medicine to people." ”
I didn't speak again, but kept listening to the old man intermittently explain the matter between father and son, and I probably knew something.
If it is really as I think, then this young man's death is really too worthless, because he was killed for two hundred dollars, and this murderer is simply cruel.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw through my eyelids an old man with a shallow face trotting over, looking at me and then at the old man.
"I said Lao Pan, hasn't your son come back yet? I gave him money and asked him to bring me medicine again, I heard that he hasn't come back in the past few days, and I haven't taken the time to ask you, won't you run away with my money?"
When the old man heard this, the ox cart jumped to his feet before he had time to collect it.
"Nonsense! You still give him money? You didn't give my son a penny to give you medicine that day, my son went out hunting that day in order to make money, and I haven't asked you for money yet, so you are embarrassed to come to me and ask for money?"
Feng Laosan was also unhappy when he heard this, and shouted strangely: "Hey, what you said, it's unreasonable, you old Pantou, I obviously gave your son money, and let him bring medicine to me when he goes to the city, it's good for you to beat a rake?"
"Bah! I obviously didn't give it! and said that I would beat a rake, and it was clearly you who raked me!"
"I gave! and I gave three hundred more!"
"You didn't give, you didn't give more!"
"Given!"
"Didn't give it!"
At first, I listened carefully to the two of them arguing with each other, but then the two of them said that one said that they gave it and the other said that they did not give it, but whether they gave it or not now makes me not confused.
In my opinion, these two old men are telling the truth, but in the end, did they give the money or not?
