The long whip glowing with black light "snapped" and fell to the ground, shocking the hearts of the people present.
The big man took a step back abruptly, but said with a fierce expression: "What do you want to do?" ”
Xu Changlin glanced at him with heavy eyebrows, and the big man was immediately silenced. He said to Pang Yingwu: "Take the children out." Pang Yingwu nodded, and walked out with the fat boy in his hand.
The woman was frightened, and only then did she react, crying and jumping up and pinching Pang Yingwu's arm, "What are you doing? Let go! Let go! ”
Unexpectedly, Pang Yingwu was also aroused by her, regardless of her obstruction, he directly dragged the woman and the fat boy out of the door, and the door was slammed from the inside, and the door bolt was firmly closed.
Now, even if you cry outside and shout loudly, you can't get in. In the same way, the people inside can't get out.
At that moment, Dahan's face turned pale. His eyes wandered around in a hurry, probing his surroundings as he staggered back, ready to find a corner to jump out. Who knew that Xu Changlin didn't give him this opportunity at all.
Xu Changlin found a thick hemp rope from the yard, tied him up three times and two times, and the tightly tied knot made the big man tense and couldn't break free, and his face was red.
Seeing that the jet-black whip was raised high by the man, glowing with a cold luster in the dazzling sunlight, the big man hurriedly reddened his eyes and shouted: "Don't beat me, it was all done by that mother-in-law, it's not my fault!" ”
Just listen to-
"Smack!"
The whip fell to the ground, and dust splattered.
Xu Changlin didn't stop after hitting it, his wrist flipped and threw dozens of whips in a row, and the crisp sound seemed to be one thunder after another erupting in his ears. The man who was bound on the ground had a completely hoarse voice.
Until the last whip was put away, he was still rolling on the ground with his head in his hands and screaming, unaware that Xu Changlin's movements had stopped.
Xu Changlin wiped off the floating soil on the long whip and wrapped it back around his waist. Immediately, the whip was like a belt, hidden in the middle of the dark clothes.
He said indifferently to Tang Tang: "Let's go." He ignored the man who was howling on the ground, and walked out.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, the woman and the fat boy rushed in with a frightened face, several meters away from Xu Changlin, until they saw the man pick up the small pillar and disappear at the end of the back alley with a few other people, and his tightly held heart suddenly gasped.
The woman threw herself on the man who was rolling and screaming, and saw that his clothes were disheveled, torn and broken with countless cuts and cracks, almost all of which hung in the air. She panicked and hurriedly tore open the cracks, but there were not many scars on the skin under her clothes. The woman was so frightened that she could not find the wound on the man's body, but she was even more alarmed, not knowing where he had been wounded.
She hurriedly pushed the man and asked, "Dad, where did you get hurt?" ”
The man cried out with a sad face: "All over! Covered in whiplashes, you stinky woman, can't you see it when you're blind? ”
Woman: "...... See for yourself! She lifted her breath and patted him the back.
The man wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at it, but it was really not. He was taken aback, sat up hurriedly, and asked the woman to cut the rope for him, only to see that there were only red marks on his body from the rubbing of the thick hemp rope, and there was really no trace of the whip marks, and there was no evidence for people to get the complaint from the field. And his courage was already so frightened that even the crotch of his pants was wet and overflowing with a bubble of yellow urine.
When the sour-faced woman saw his cowardice, she scolded angrily, "Cowardly! ”
But she made up her mind that if the bastard Xiaozhu dared to come back, it would be strange if she didn't kill him.
On the other side, Xu Changlin walked quickly to the street with a small pillar, took out a small bag of dried meat from his arms and handed it to him. The little pillar rubbed twice in his arms, unaccustomed to it, holding the leather bag in both hands, and did not dare to move, until a large hand twisted the jerky and stuffed it into his mouth, and his eyes widened in horror.
Xu Changlin said succinctly: "Eat." ”
The bridge of his nose is high, his contours are deep, and his eyes are fixed on the front, firm and powerful, and indescribably reassuring. Xiao Zhuzi looked up at his side face a little dumbfounded, and moved his mouth obediently, and a salty and fragrant smell slowly spread in his mouth.
This sweet appearance couldn't help but arouse the gluttony in Pang Yingwu's stomach, and with a salivating smile, he reached over and grabbed the beast bag, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xiao Zhuzi was stunned by his unexpected movements, and only then did he open his mouth to say "ah", and hurriedly protected the beast bag in his arms, and hugged it tightly into his arms like a baby.
Pang Yingwu was depressed by his defensive appearance, the gluttonous worms that had just been hooked in his stomach couldn't be eliminated, how to lower his head and make a small smile to tease the little pillar, he ignored it, and would rather feed it to the starling who was flying on the side than share it with him.
Pang Yingwu was deflated at him, and when he saw Lu Xiangyang, he was still depressed, hooked his shoulders and said, "Old Lu, is it hot?" Master help you fan the wind. ”
Lu Xiangyang was sweating all over his body, and he had just pushed a single-wheeled cart and ran dozens of times before handing over the grain in the village to the grain depot.
He wiped his sweat, shook his shoulders violently, and turned outward, which suddenly made Pang Yingwu, who was half-stretched and leaning on his shoulder, lose his fulcrum, and planted a fart/squat.
"Oooo
Pang Yingwu grinned and got up from the ground, and Lu Xiangyang calmly took a sip of water. As soon as I looked up again, I saw Xu Changlin holding a child and walking with Tang Tang. He paused, took the bowl and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Pang Yingwu sat beside him angrily, "A child Tang Tang knew was abused, and we happened to meet and taught him a hard lesson." ”
As soon as Lu Xiangyang heard this, he stood up, and the old captain and the men in the village who were sitting next to him also joined in the excitement and surrounded him.
As soon as Xiao Zhuzi saw the approaching black pressing figure, he couldn't help but feel timid, and quietly buried his head in Xu Changlin's arms, not daring to raise his head. But the little baby's shabby clothes and looming scars can't help but make people feel pity.
The old captain said in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?" Whose child is this? ”
Tang Tang knew that if she wanted to solve Xiaozhu's matter, she couldn't do it alone, so she pinched the matter and told it from beginning to end. For a while, everyone couldn't help but feel pity for the little pillar who had lost their loved ones.
Especially when he heard that the family was unknown, he actually occupied the magpie's nest, seized the house of the little pillar, and beat him severely, and immediately a wave of anger ignited in everyone's hearts.
At that moment, a few men with strong blood couldn't help but rub their hands and come to the door to seek justice for him. Pang Yingwu is better than a person who is not afraid of big things, and he led the way first and led the people of Niujiatun to the door of Xiaozhuzi's house.
"Bang!"
The man and the woman were slowly cleaning up the rags of clothes in the courtyard, when suddenly a dozen or so middle-aged men broke in, and both of them were stunned. Before he could speak, he saw the fierce god who had crackled the whip before reappeared in the crowd.
Immediately, the man howled in horror. I wanted to hide in the house. However, no matter how fast his steps were, he was not as fast as the people in Niujiatun, and as soon as his long arms were stretched out and his hands were lifted, he was easily dragged back again.
The man was trembling and almost crying. "Uncle, uncle, let me go, I know it's wrong." Regardless of his dignity, he trembled and lay on the ground and kowtowed, his huge body looking particularly funny.
But the people of Niujiatun are not just here to teach them a lesson.
A few people held down the man and the woman, and the others went into the house and threw out their clothes, bedding and luggage, and threw them scattered in the yard. The woman scratched her heart and lungs, and she was so anxious that she couldn't help crying. "You people, are you still unreasonable? I don't believe it, there is no royal law in this world! Wait, I'll go to the field department to discuss this theory! ”
Dealing with this kind of shrew, the people of Niujiatun were colder than the other, thinking of the scars on the little pillar's body, and the last bit of pity for them was abandoned.
And the fat boy who hid in the cabinet early was pulled out by them and thrown directly into the woman's arms.
The fat boy was immediately frightened and panicked, how could he still be arrogant and domineering towards Tang Tang and Xiaozhuzi before, he sobbed a few times, couldn't help but threw himself into the woman's arms, and cried loudly. "Ahh
The people of Niujiatun acted quickly, and after a short time, they packed up the family of three and threw them out of the door. More than a dozen men stood at the door and glared angrily, and even if the three of them were reluctant, they could only drag their luggage in fear and left step by step.
The woman dragged a bag to the corner of the street, and almost wanted to bite a mouthful of silver teeth in anger, she snorted angrily and said fiercely: "Go, go to the field!" Today, I don't believe they can walk around without eating! ”
When they arrived at the entrance of the field, they were stopped by the gatekeepers, and outsiders were not allowed to enter and leave at will. The woman was so anxious that she was afraid that she would not be able to see the leaders of the field department and not be able to redress her grievances, so she immediately sat at the entrance of the field department and howled, crying and wiping tears and couldn't stop shouting, which attracted the attention of many passers-by.
But the woman was not satisfied, and pinched her son's arm so hard that the fat boy immediately began to weep bitterly. This monstrous and sharp cry obviously can't make the people in the field turn a blind eye anymore.
Immediately, a person in a cadre uniform hurriedly walked out of it. He frowned at the farce and took the lead in asking the gatekeeper, "What's going on?" ”
The janitor was also very annoyed, just now he was so bad at talking, saying that he had tried to persuade the family not to make trouble in the department, but they just didn't listen. This is good, now that Zhang Changchang is alarmed, doesn't it mean that his work is not effective?
He scolded secretly and quickly explained: "Changchang Zhang, this family came over without saying a word, just sat on the ground and cried, no matter how much they persuaded them to leave, I think they are here to make trouble today." ”
Zhang Zhishan glanced at them calmly, and said to the crowd of onlookers around him: "Everyone disperse, don't look at it." ”
With his words, even though everyone's excitement was just raised, they had to reluctantly give him some face and leave one after another.
When the woman saw that the person she had just cried for a long time was about to leave, she suddenly let out a shrill howl, knelt down and dragged her knees in front of Zhang Changchang, and hugged his leg and didn't let go. "Woo woo, leader, you have to call the shots for us! I can't live this day, and some people want to force us to death! If you don't make a decision for us today, I-I'll have to take my family to death here! ”
This high-decibel cry suddenly attracted a lot of peeping eyes.
Zhang Zhishan lowered his body and pulled her hand, but he couldn't pull it. The tips of the woman's fingers had already pinched sharply into his flesh, and even if they were pulled white, they would not let go.
The fiery scene immediately burst into laughter.
In desperation, Zhang Zhishan had no choice but to give the janitor a look and said to the woman: "Don't worry, come in and talk about something." ”
As soon as the woman heard that there was a play, she immediately came to her senses, and under the advice of the janitor, she quickly dragged her husband and son up from the ground, and despite her disheveled hair and clothes, she caught up with Zhang Zhishan with her baggage and luggage.
Zhang Zhishan really did not tell the truth, invited them into an office, and asked the office staff to bring them hot water.
The woman took a sip of hot water while leaning on the cup, and before she could swallow it, she suddenly heard someone say, "What is your relationship with the Rong family, let's talk about it." ”
She was so frightened that she swallowed the water in her mouth, and the hot temperature immediately burned her esophagus, making her speechless, coughing several times, and spitting saliva everywhere.
Zhang Zhishan looked at her wolf bèi, his eyes were as calm as ever, but he invisibly exerted great pressure on her, and it was like a mountain pressing on top of her head.
She gasped sharply, trying to calm her breathing, and pretended, "Leader, what are you talking about?" ”
Zhang Zhishan asked again, "Didn't you come for Uncle Rong's house, so what is your relationship with him?" ”
The woman was shocked again. She was making trouble at the entrance of the department before, and she thought that no one knew her intention, why as soon as they met, Zhang Zhishan said her purpose. Could it be that someone has already been angry with him?
Immediately, her heart sank, and she secretly cursed the nosy Tang Tang, if she hadn't suddenly appeared today, how could so many things have happened in the future?
Immediately, she simply gave up covering up in front of Zhang Zhishan, and said sharply: "Uncle Rong and I are also relatives. At the beginning, after his death, it was still my funeral for him, which everyone on the street knew. Not to mention having to take care of his little grandson, why is there anything wrong with our family living in his house? Even if you hire someone, you have to get paid! ”
She said with confidence, but her heart was beating loudly.
Their family and Uncle Rong are relatives, but they are relatives who can't be beaten by eight poles, and they broke off contact in the early years. Later, Uncle Rong left this small county town, and he never saw it. Later, when he came back to live with a little grandson, she didn't know.
But when Uncle Rong died, he couldn't find all his relatives for a while. Only a few old neighbors in the early years still vaguely remember a little bit of the relationship between the two families, so I can only notify them to come over.
The woman thought that this was a bad thing, and that the old man would not help them when he was alive, but when he died, he would come to collect the body himself, and she was so stunned that she was unwilling. But the man in his own house still remembered a little bit of Uncle Rong's impression, and in the spirit of death, he couldn't help but come over to help, only to find out that Uncle Rong had left a huge property for his little grandson.
Suddenly, the woman burst out laughing. Isn't this God's chance? As long as they hold on to this little cub, isn't this huge house theirs?
Therefore, she was particularly enthusiastic about taking care of Uncle Rong's funeral, and deliberately made a look of caring about Xiaozhu in front of everyone, so that the street was relieved to let her live in the Rong family in the name of her aunt. This stay, just don't leave.
Half a month later, seeing that everyone's attention had dispersed, the woman couldn't help but liberate her temperament, beating and scolding the little pillar, and scolding. She thought, what does a child of this size know? As long as it's locked up in the yard, who knows?
Unexpectedly, a visit by Tang Tang completely broke her dream.
Immediately, she had a hideous face, and she couldn't help but pose to Zhang Zhishan. "The relationship between our family and Uncle Rong is certain, who on the street doesn't know? If you think you can use your power to favor some people and kick us out, you're wrong! I went out of the county and went directly to the city and the province, so I didn't believe in unreasonable places! ”
Her words were loud and sharp, and they came out directly through the doors and windows, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the field.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhishan chuckled lightly, glanced at her indifferently, and said an irrelevant word. "It seems that you really don't know the Rong family."
Woman: "......"
She furrowed her brow, not understanding what he meant. Uncle Rong is the only one left in the Rong family, how can she not know? Thinking like this, her heartbeat couldn't stop getting faster and faster, and she suddenly felt that she had forgotten something. A thought was swirling in her head, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Zhang Zhishan got up, raised his steps and walked towards the door, seeing that he was about to step out of the threshold.
The woman hurriedly stopped: "Wait! Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck her head, and her mind was numb. Something that had been remembered for a long time suddenly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion all over her body, and she felt a little regretful.
Why did she forget that the Rong family has that kind of legend!
Looking back at Zhang Zhishan's eyes looking back at her, she instantly felt that her tongue was dry, her heart was beating like thunder, she stumbled and lost her confidence, and whispered: "I, I'll leave now." ”
After the family's faces turned pale and fled in a hurry like lost dogs, Pang Yingwu dragged Lu Xiangyang before running from the back room. He said with a hippie smile: "Uncle, I'm sorry for you!" ”
Zhang Zhishan's face was calm, but his brows couldn't help frowning tightly, "You'll find me something." ”
Pang Yingwu laughed twice, obviously accustomed to hearing such a lesson, and had long taken it as a deaf ear, "This is also justice!" How about driving these scoundrels away completely, right? According to me, they should be arrested and educated. ”
Seeing that the more he talked, the more unreliable he became, Lu Xiangyang dragged him away with a calm face, "Uncle, let's go." ”
Zhang Zhishan waved his hand and did not send it. He stood there and pondered for a moment, then turned and went back to the room, spread out a piece of paper, and thought for a long time to pick up the pen.
After this matter was resolved, Uncle Rong's house was completely recovered. But Xiaozhu is small and ignorant, and he can't live alone, so someone must take care of him. Therefore, the idea was given on the street, either Tang Tang would take care of Xiaozhu in the name of his relatives, and the house would be officially given to him when he grew up, or Xiaozhu could only be treated as an orphan and arranged by the field department.
As soon as Tang Tang heard that there was a group of orphans in Linxian County who had lost their parents and were sent to the prairie to enrich the population, he didn't agree to this second choice. It stands to reason that she, an unmarried girl from the countryside, is also not qualified to adopt Xiaozhu. But there was a hole in the street, which made it convenient for her, and temporarily let her take the small pillar with her in the name of foster care. In the future, if there is a suitable adoptive family, I will also help to pay more attention.
This is clearly the best arrangement at the moment. Not to mention that Xiao Zhu was reluctant to leave with red eyes, even Tang Tang didn't want Xiao Zhu to go to a stranger's house to be tortured again.
So, she gritted her teeth, packed a bunch of clothes, supplies, and quilts for Xiaozhuzi, and left the county seat in Niujiatun's carriage that day.
At the moment when the gate of Uncle Rong's house was about to be closed, she clearly heard the chirping of birds from inside.
The sparrows and birds that returned to the tree cried out one after another: "Don't worry, we will show you the home." ”
"Little pillar, come back often!"
"Chirp, don't forget us!"
Xiaozhu took Tang Tang's hand, sniffed his little nose and said obediently: "Goodbye~"
At night, Tang Tang wrapped him in a small quilt and fell asleep, and when he returned to the village in a bumpy carriage, he found that Xu Changlin had followed him all the way on horseback, and he also went to Niujiatun to spend the night. His saddle was lined with heavy sacks of grain, which showed that he had gone into the city again and had secretly exchanged for food.
As soon as he got off the horse at the entrance of the village, he came over and said to Tang Tang: "I'll hug him." ”
Tang Tang paused for a moment, handed over the small pillar in his arms, and saw that the man stretched out his hands effortlessly and took the small pillar over, without even bending his arms.
Xu Changlin walked towards the small courtyard where she lived, and the horse he rode automatically followed him with small steps, muttering in his mouth: "Changlin, this can't be picked up home, it is enough to pick up Erhei's idiot from the mountains last time, but you must not bring this little oil bottle back." Hey, did you hear that? ”
However, Xu Changlin listened to the magnificent horse roar and didn't say a word, but the pace under his feet was as calm as ever.
Tang Tang reluctantly followed him, and said embarrassedly: "I'll come, I'll be there in front." ”
Seeing that the courtyard gate of the small courtyard was not far ahead, Tang Tang was holding the luggage of the small pillar with a large bag, and was about to reach out to take the little baby, but he didn't expect that suddenly, a familiar figure appeared on the courtyard wall.
The little milk cat was about to jump down from the earthen wall, and when she saw Tang Tang with a man, a baby and a lot of luggage, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
It almost fell off the wall: "Tang Tang, you're going to elope?!" ”
