Chapter 13 The people of the tribe are suspicious

The area of the forest planted next to the ancestral hall is not very large, but few people come at night, and the light in the woods is dim and unknown, but fortunately, Liu Xiuying's lantern is particularly eye-catching in the dark, so that Liu San'er can clearly find the target. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw Liu Xiuying walking and stopping, looking around, as if looking for something.

Liu San'er became more and more curious, changed her decision to be close to Liu Xiuying, and tiptoed behind.

Liu Xiuying finally stopped in front of a thick tree in the depths of the woods, and muttered: "Grandpa Big Tree, I hid the New Year's money from you, so as not to be searched by my mother again." You have to keep my New Year's money, and I'll get it in two days. With that, he buried a box in the dirt under the tree, covered it with dead leaves, and then jumped away.

Liu San'er heard it clearly, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to run under the tree to find the box, he wanted to take Liu Xiuying's New Year's money while no one noticed. He was very happy in his heart: Uncle Cousin is so rich, he will definitely give Liu Xiuying a lot of New Year's money, and now he has made a fortune, but fortunately he came with him, and picked up such a cheap price for nothing.

The winter wind was cold, Liu San'er's heart was hot, and when he was excited, someone suddenly slapped him from the back of his neck, and he fell to the ground without snorting.

"I knew this kid was going to be fooled. Liu Xiuying, who had left, reappeared, kicked Liu San'er twice, made sure that he was unconscious, and said to Liu Dashanren: "This kid is so bold, if I didn't know in advance that my father was hiding in the forest, I wouldn't dare to come in." Well, everything went according to plan, and Dad threw him back to his cowshed and hurried back. ”

"You won't have a problem with him, will you?" Liu Dashan withdrew his hand, his face unbearable. The two families have enmity and enmity, the child did not make any big mistakes, and this child is still his own nephew.

"Dad, don't worry, he will wake up in a coma for two or three hours at most. Liu Xiuying said indifferently. The palm she asked Liu Dashan to slash on Liu San'er's neck only temporarily caused Liu San'er's carotid sinus syncope, and it was no big deal. This technique Liu Xiuying often used when dealing with criminals in her previous life, if it wasn't for her lack of strength, she would have done it herself.

With Liu Xiuying's assurance, Liu Dashan quickly left from the other side of the forest with Liu San'er like an eagle carrying a chicken.

A quarter of an hour was not long, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner made by the women had not yet been tabled, and the patriarch and his cronies were still discussing matters in the ancestral hall, but Liu Xiuying believed that this time was enough for Liu Dashan to go back and forth. She counted the numbers, counted the time, untied her bun, threw away the lantern, and stumbled out of the woods, shouting as she ran, "Help!"

The piercing scream alarmed everyone, and the patriarch came out of the ancestral hall and said unhappily: "Whose little baby is talking nonsense during the New Year's Festival?"

"There are really ghosts! there are really ghosts!" Liu Xiuying threw herself into Ma's arms, speaking incoherently, "Mother, I just met a ghost in the woods, with a head the size of a gong, blood-red eyes, and a long tongue ......."

A gust of wind blew, the branches of the trees were blown and brushed, the torches flickered and dimmed, and the timid woman trembled.

The patriarch glared at Liu Xiuying, who caused the incident, and shouted angrily: "What are you panicking, with the blessing of the ancestors, how can ghosts appear near this ancestral hall? Who is this girl of yours? If you dare to be disrespectful to the ancestors, I can't spare you!"

Landlord Liu, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, hurriedly said: "Uncle clan, this is Liu Xiuying, the female baby of my cousin's family who had a full moon banquet, this girl was spoiled by her cousin, and she didn't say a word of truth in her mouth, especially disrespectful to her elders. ”

The patriarch's already gloomy face became more and more unkind.

Ma Shi was so anxious that his face turned pale, and he asked repeatedly: "Xiuying, you really saw it clearly? Aren't you dazzled? If you don't have this, you will apologize to everyone quickly." ”

Liu Xiuying cried in horror, "Mother, I didn't lie, I can see clearly, the ghost's tongue is about to reach my face, but fortunately I blocked it with a lantern, and it retracted its tongue." ”

Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard the description of this image, and a woman said with a crying voice in her voice: "Patriarch, I don't think this girl looks like a liar, why don't you send someone to take a look?"

"You offspring and go around the woods. Hmph, if nothing is discovered, Liu Xiuying, you will pay the price for your actions. The patriarch snorted coldly, his clenched fists trembling slightly, and he didn't know if it was because he was angry or because of something else.

Several of the named clansmen entered the woods with torches.

Liu Xiuying took the opportunity to quietly glance at the crowd, and saw that Liu Dashan had returned, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, she lowered her head and grabbed Ma's hand, and cried: "What about Dad? I want Dad." ”

"Girl, don't be afraid, Dad is here. Liu Dashan picked up Liu Xiuying and whispered that Liu San'er had been thrown back to the cowshed.

Liu Xiuying sniffed aggrievedly, "Dad, I'm so scared, I really saw a ghost, why don't they believe me?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Daddy believes in you. Liu Dashan patted his daughter's back and carefully appeased.

Soon the clansmen searched the forest, and found nothing except Liu Xiuying's lantern.

The patriarch looked at Liu Xiuying with disgust, "This woman is stubborn and maliciously disturbs her ancestors, she must kneel outside the ancestral hall for three days to make amends to her ancestors, and she is not allowed to eat during this period." ”

Three days without food did not starve people to death. Ma dragged Liu Xiuying to kowtow to the patriarch and pleaded, "Xiuying is still young, ask the patriarch to forgive her once." ”

The patriarch was unmoved, "She dares to make trouble for such an important activity of ancestor worship, and the old man will never forgive." ”

Liu Xiuying bit her lip and defended, "Patriarch Grandpa, I didn't make trouble, I didn't deceive people, I really saw ghosts." ”

The landlord's wife gloated and sneered: "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, what bad things did you girl do, let the ghosts find you?" You still kneel honestly for three days and ask your ancestors to bless you." ”

Landlord Liu instigated the patriarch, "Uncle clan, if you don't raise your godfather, this daughter is still quibbling and still admitting her mistakes, and her cousin is not strict with her goddaughter, and she should also be punished." ”

Liu Dashan ignored the fall of the two, and said to the patriarch seriously: "I am willing to kneel in the ancestral hall with my daughter, but my daughter never tells lies, the patriarch had better ask someone to count the clansmen, don't really have anything wrong." ”

As soon as he said this, the surrounding clansmen who were watching the excitement immediately counted their families in disbelief.

As Liu Xiuying expected, the landlord's wife's shrill and piercing cry sounded very cooperatively, "Oh my God, my third son is gone!"

Landlord Liu panicked and looked around, "What about San'er? Who saw my San'er?"

There was a commotion in the yard, and despite the countless shouts of Landlord Liu, Liu San'er still did not appear.

"Who saw Liu San'er last?" The patriarch counted the people, except for Liu San'er, everyone else was there, and hurriedly asked everyone.

A few boys who set off firecrackers snorted: "I saw Liu Sange just now, he seems to have entered the forest." Yes, he followed Liu Xiuying shortly after entering the forest. Later, we didn't pay attention to whether he came out or not......"

Liu Xiuying curled up in Liu Dashanren's arms, her big eyes full of innocence and fear, "I didn't see the third brother follow me into the forest, oh no, didn't that ghost catch me and take the third brother away?"

With a "poof", the landlord's mother-in-law had weak legs, covered her chest and spread it on the ground.

Landlord Liu held the landlord's wife and shouted anxiously: "Uncle clan, quickly send someone to save my third son." ”

If this happens, who is still in the mood to continue the sacrifice. The patriarch hurriedly asked someone to send the landlord's wife home first, originally he didn't believe Liu Xiuying's words, but Liu San'er, a big living person, was indeed gone, he was a little hairy in his heart, and sent all the men in the clan to find someone.

Everyone searched the woods carefully again, and this time even the box buried by Liu Xiuying was dug out, but they still didn't see Liu San'er's figure.

"It's over, something happened to San'er, Uncle Clan, you have to think of a way. Landlord Liu held the patriarch's hand and didn't let go, as if this was his life-saving straw.

The patriarch grimaced and frowned, "Will San'er go to play somewhere else?"

"San'er is very well-behaved, he won't run around, besides, where can he go in the middle of the night?" Landlord Liu said in despair, and suddenly pointed at Liu Xiuying and shouted: "It's all you, you tricked San'er into the forest, you pay back my San'er! If something happens to my San'er, I want you to pay for your life!"

Liu Dashan pushed away Landlord Liu and retorted: "Cousin, don't say nonsense, the descendants of Fang Cai have proved that my family Xiuying did not trick San'er into the woods, he went in by himself." ”

"If it's not her, how could San'er go with her? What did she do when she ran into the forest in the middle of the night, maybe she colluded with the ghost. Landlord Liu had red eyes, staring at Liu Dashan and Liu Xiuying angrily, eager to chew them.

"Joke, the legs are long on San'er himself, where does he want to go, my family Xiuying can control it? If I see San'er, I want to ask him, my daughter went to the woods to hide the New Year's money, what is his intention to follow behind without saying a word?"

"What's the noise, it's important to find someone, you two still have the spirit to talk nonsense here. The patriarch said angrily, obviously seeing that Landlord Liu was angry, but he was partial to Landlord Liu, so he reprimanded both of them.

Liu Xiuying pulled Liu Dashanren's clothes and coughed lightly, suggesting that Daddy's main event was still to come, don't waste time here.

Liu Dashanren took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and suggested: "Instead of being suspicious here, let's go to other places and look for it again, search carefully, and we must find San'er back." He comforted Landlord Liu again, "Don't worry, cousin, I'll go with you to find San'er." So many people will definitely be able to get San'er back. ”

Landlord Liu didn't know what to do, so he said as a matter of course: "Your daughter lost my son, of course you have to get it back for me." ”

The surrounding clansmen couldn't help but slander Landlord Liu for doing too much, and Liu Dashan was willing to help him find his son regardless of his previous suspicions.

The patriarch shook his head and arranged for everyone to disperse around to find people according to Liu Dashan's suggestion.

Landlord Liu commanded Liu Dashan like a self-employed worker, "You take a torch and lead the way in front." ”

"Girl, you and your mother are waiting here, don't run around again. Liu Dashan instructed his daughter, and calmly walked in front with a torch.

Liu Xiuying stared at the back of Landlord Liu, and spat out: Let you be arrogant now, I will scare you to death in a while!
