Chapter 24: Punishment
Liu Dashi and Liu Dashu suddenly knelt stiffly on the ground, because they also obviously felt that it was not they who accidentally knocked it over, but the wooden stick itself took the initiative to pass, the two of them suddenly turned pale, their faces were originally blue and swollen, and now their faces were completely complex, only the top of their faces was so conspicuous, making people feel that they themselves looked like ghosts.
The village chief saw that the three of them looked wrong, and asked, "If you confess, I will give you a lighter punishment." Tell me how you got into the fight?"
"Liu Dashu's wooden stick knocked us a lot in the back while we were all beating loquats, and said that the stick itself came to beat us, we didn't believe it, so we asked him to throw the wooden stick away, of course the wooden stick fell, so Dalu and I beat Dashu. Liu Dashi said.
Later, the two of us continued to pick it up, but the stick hit Liu Dashi's head by itself, and we thought that the other party was lying to us, so the two of us fought again. Liu Dalu said.
A villager asked, "Then what happened later, why did the three of them fight again?" Liu Dalu continued: "It's because Dashu took advantage of the two of us to fight and took away all the loquat that we had been lucky to beat down, but fortunately he didn't believe it when he ran away, and Dashi and I only knew it when we heard the sound." The fight started, and then the village chief arrived. ”
At this time, Liu Dashu said in horror: "It wasn't that I accidentally fell, I was hit by something to my knee." ”
In fact, when the village chief heard the three people say that there were ghosts, it didn't look like they were channeled, and his face turned pale, and he pretended to be calm and asked, "Do you think there are ghosts that make sticks?" Liu Dashu and the three hurriedly nodded. A villager suddenly said, "Could it be the soul of Xiao Yao's father?"
Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion, and they all said that Xiao Yao's father and mother were reluctant to leave, so the loquat tree attached was protecting the three children. The more I talk about it, the more I think it is, otherwise why would the stick hit people on the head?
The people of the village, however, have a sense of fear for Xiaoyao. I can't wait to get out of here right away.
"Yao girl, let's do it, the three of them will compensate you for a tael of silver, everyone is poor, the three of them can make up a maximum of one or two pieces of silver, which can be regarded as compensation for your family, and then punish them to kneel in the ancestral hall for a month, what do you think?"
Originally, the village chief wanted to say that the compensation was three or five hundred yuan, but he thought that Liu Dashu said that the loquat was so expensive during the day, so he said that he would compensate a total of one or two pieces of silver.
Xiao Yao didn't expect to lose much, but it would be a fool not to take the money, and it made everyone afraid of himself, at least no one would be stupid to find trouble in the future, right?
"Just do as you say, village chief. But my family is in urgent need of money now, you look at my house, if I don't build a new house in the next few days, I'm afraid that if it rains, our three sisters and brothers will be buried in it. When Liu Dashu heard Xiao Yao say this, as long as it wasn't a trivial matter to be kicked out of the village and lose money, they gritted their teeth and made up for it.
He quickly agreed: "We'll send the money tomorrow." Xiao Yao has been observing everyone present, and naturally there are three people who have observed Liu Dashu, looking at the expressions of Liu Dalu and Liu Dashi, you can know what they are thinking, it is nothing more than a word, drag!
How could Xiao Yao let their ideas come into effect. "What if you don't pay me back a tael tomorrow? In that case, then I don't want the silver taels, and I don't need you to kneel in the ancestral hall. ”
Xiao Yao saw the happy appearance of Liu Dashu and the others, paused and continued: "Then you will be driven out of the village by the village chief." Although I didn't ask for your money, but you didn't do it, how could the village chief not act according to the clan rules?
Then he said: "Do you say yes? If a person comes to your house to steal a chicken or steal vegetables, and says that the compensation will be lost on the second and third days, isn't there a mess in the village?" Everyone immediately exploded, and they all agreed with what Xiao Yao said, because it was related to their own problems, how could they calm down?" Village Chief, Yao Ya is right. ”
When the village chief saw Xiao Yao's words, he encouraged the villagers, if this is not handled well, I am afraid that the village will really be in chaos.
"Don't worry, folks, you are witnesses, and the three of them will come to Xiao Yao's house with me tomorrow to repay the money. If they don't take it out, then our village won't be able to accommodate these three guys. If you have time, you can also come along. The villagers were satisfied.
Seeing this, Liu Dashi and Liu Dalu knew that they had to pay some money. The village chief called three middle-aged people to take them to the ancestral hall, and the caretaker was the village chief's son. Xiao Yao and Yi'er Dai'er had already picked up the loquat on the ground that was still good, and after thinking about it, they were worried that because everyone had ghosts at home, it would be bad if no one dared to come to the house in the future.
"Village chief, the villagers are slow, this loquat has been beaten down, it is not as good as the tree, if you don't dislike it, no one will bring some back and give it to the children at home to try. ”
The people who were about to leave all stopped and came back to receive the loquats. As he spoke, he said, "My family will build a house in the future, can you come to help then? ”
When everyone saw the new furniture in the house, they were not worried that Xiao Yao would not have the money to pay for the work. They all said yes, and went back with a few loquats. Seeing that Xiao Yao had not forgotten the three people who took Liu Dashu to the ancestral hall, the villagers also left some loquat for others to take with them.
I like a lot of Xiaoyao in my heart. Looking at the fragrant and big loquat in his hand, although it is a little dirty, it can't stop the aroma of the loquat.
Some couldn't help but wipe and eat one on the road. There is only one thought, that is, it is really delicious! Although some people covet it, but after this night, their minds are all gone, there are ghosts there, and it will not be good if they are caught by ghosts, and their lives will be over.
Xiao Yao saw that everyone had gone back, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Aunt Liu and Dabao, and asked Yi'er: "What about Aunt Liu and Dabao Erbao Xiaohua?" Yi'er was a little sad, "Sister, Aunt Liu is sick, and Dabao and they are taking care of them at home." Aunt Liu asked Erbao to accompany me to the village to call the village chief. I saw Erbao go back after the bad guys were taken to the ancestral hall. ”
It turned out to be like this, comforting Yi'er: "Aunt Liu, they should have slept, tomorrow we will go to Aunt Liu's house to see her, it's already so dark,
ps: Today I did a morning of cleaning, I didn't eat breakfast, I was busy until half past twelve, and I cooked for an hour, the braised pork is really delicious! Looking at the kitchen and the clean mood of the home is so beautiful that it seems to overflow! I hope everyone will have a busy and fulfilling day! Happy weekend~~
