Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Rain Hates the Clouds
In addition to teaching everyone the novel method of weaving and dyeing cloth, Situ Ming also often taught the sisters to read and write. So Xiang Tao also recognized a few words, she saw that Situ Ming was very abnormal today, and handed her a bloody cloth, and asked her father to give the land protection in front of everyone.
Xiang Tao felt that this was strange, before the autumn harvest, how could the land protection come?
Xiang Tao opened the folded placket, and when she saw the words on it, she was surprised and delighted, and ran to the field to find her father.
Besides, the land guard saw Shi Lengzi kneeling on the ground, holding a blood book in his hand, and this posture seemed to be a complaint. He said to Shi Lengzi:
"Just tell the chief about the short and small things in the parents, and the big grievances go to the county government gate to beat the drum." It means that Shi Lengzi has found the wrong person.
"Lord Dibao, this matter is indeed because it is within your jurisdiction, and the small people dare to offend abruptly." Shilenzi Road.
"Stand up and hand it over." Dibao Road.
Shi Lengzi handed over the cloth cloth blood book to the land guard.
"Come to Cai, did you owe the Shi family a tael of silver and didn't pay it back?" The land security asks for money.
It turned out to be such a thing, she couldn't find it anyway, and she still wondered if I really had this money. Lai Cai thought about it and thought about returning to the land protection:
"That's just a misunderstanding, that Nizi didn't stand firm and bumped into the tool for picking fruit, and wanted to blackmail the villain. Because Xiaomin was in a hurry to pay the errand, and he didn't have any cash with him, he wrote an IOU in desperation. "Come to the road of wealth.
"Then there really is such a thing, do you see that you pressed this handprint?" The ground protector asked.
Because when this handprint was pressed, several respected old people in Shijia Village were there, and they didn't dare to lie about it. He glanced at the blood book, and only recognized the words "one or two", which were things at that time. Then he said to the land protector:
"This handprint was pressed by the villain, but at that time it was the wild girl who blackmailed me, and later she didn't dare to ask me for the silver tael. Besides, she can't find anyone, there is no proof of this, and after so long, I think it's okay. After speaking, he peeked at Jibao's face.
"What a villain full of nonsense, all the messengers, tie him up for me first." Dibao said angrily.
"The matter can't be settled, you call out that wild girl, I will return the silver, what are you doing tying me up." He panicked, he had heard that he would not go to jail for debts, but he had never heard of going to jail for a mere tael of silver. Besides, the creditors are missing, so what else can he pay back?
The earthly protector took the cloth and blood book and read:
"The small people come to make money, and the sons commit murder, break people's legs and feet, and spoil the growing crops. robbed the grain in the farmer's field, detained the Hou Mansion for worship, and stole it from the guards, and was discovered. Promise a hush money of one or two pieces of silver, and set up this note to be repaid on the next day. ”
When Laicai heard this, he almost peed his pants in fright and shouted that he was wronged.
"When I went to harvest the grain this autumn, I didn't dare to be sloppy. Even if a grain of corn fell from the basket, I would bend down and pick it up. You'd be good enough to spoil the growing crops. You are still robbing strong food, you are snatching food from the mouths of the soldiers who defend the territory, you know no. "The land is on fire.
The main errand of land protection is to harvest grain after the autumn of each year, and things will go smoothly when the year is good. When the year is bad, he can be sad and white-headed, and the order issued by the above is to collect all the grain no matter what. Therefore, he regarded every grain of grain as more important than his own life.
The neighbors also complained about the wealth, and the local security heard how the corn and rice growing in the field had suffered, and why the autumn harvest was much less, and he was even more distressed. Let the servants bring the money to the county office, and then discuss in detail the crime of hurting people.
Laicai originally listened to Cuilian's sister-in-law's words, and he was going to take care of Situ Ming, and let out the sullenness he suffered, but he never thought that he would suffer retribution. The neighbors are also willing to come forward as witnesses to make money, and Shi Lengzi will also ask for an explanation for the grievances he has suffered for many years.
And all the neighbors gradually dispersed.
"Mother, is anyone really looking for daylily?" Shi Zi'er asked Aunt Shi in disbelief.
Aunt Shi saw that this matter had finally passed like this, and she didn't want to have more complications. I am also afraid that Shi Zi'er will know that Situ Cheng is leaving alone, and he will shout everywhere to find it, and then make some trouble. What's more, when Situ Ming left, she told her a thousand times, that little girl is not an ordinary person, maybe she will be able to come back in a few days.
"Yes, her relatives came looking for her, and she is gone." Aunt Shi said with tears in her eyes.
Shi Zi'er remembered that some time ago, Situ Cheng said that he remembered some things, his home was in Kyoto or something. knew that Situ Cheng would always have to leave one day, but he still couldn't accept the facts.
"You lied to me, she told me that she would not leave, and that we are her eternal relatives." Shi Zi'er asked Uncle Shi again, and the answer was the same.
"Son, where did my sister go today?" He asked again.
"I don't know, I went to my neighbor's Chubby's house this morning to play. Sister, aren't you at home today? Mi'er said in a milky voice.
"You know how to play, why don't you watch your sister. She's gone, she doesn't want us anymore, she goes to Kyoto to enjoy the glory and wealth. You don't have a sister anymore, and you won't have a sister again. Shi Zi'er roared at Mi'er.
Mi'er was so frightened that she cried out loud:
"Mother, is the second brother talking nonsense, what about my sister, where is my sister?"
Aunt Shi hugged her child, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
Shi Zi'er began to rummage around her home, and couldn't find anything about Situ Ming, as if she had never been to Shi's house. But as far as the eye can see, there are traces of her everywhere. The clothes she made for the Shi family, the new quilts she made, and the cloth tigers she made for her children are still at the head of the bed.
There was a sieve she had woven in the yard, as if she was sifting rice there with a sieve.
The straw crickets and sparrows were put in a pile, as if she and Mi'er were squatting in that corner and playing at home.
There was also a straw mat she had woven on the stone pier next to the stone table, and they had sat around the table to eat.
On the table was a broken clay pot with sand that she had used to teach him to read and write.
But why didn't she have a single dress or a pair of shoes in the house? Is she really gone? Shi Zier didn't believe it.
He went again to the house where she was weaving, and the loom was still there, but he could not find a thread of cloth. Seeing this, Shi Zier scolded:
"Why don't you move this machine too, are those cloths very valuable, you take them all, take them all!"
He ran to the kitchen again and saw a porcelain bowl that she usually used to eat. He picked up the bowl and threw it to the ground:
"Everyone is gone, what are you still doing here, who will use you. You're abandoned, you're useless. As he spoke, he was about to hit his head against the wall.
Uncle Shi hurriedly hugged him, and Aunt Shi cried and said:
"Son, she is not an ordinary person, how can our small temple accommodate a great immortal! Son, you stop and stop. ”
"Why is she not an ordinary person, she doesn't drink water, doesn't she eat? Mother, where did she go and go in that direction? Even if her family came to pick her up, they would always say where her home was. ”
Uncle Shi looked at Aunt Shi, meaning to tell him the truth. Aunt Shi shook her head at Uncle Shi:
"My son, do you know where her house is, can you go to her house and tie her up and bring her back to our house?"
Uncle Shi understood what Aunt Shi meant, and really wanted to tell Shi Zi'er the truth, according to Shi Zi'er's temper, he would definitely settle accounts with those who stirred up trouble, and then look for Situ Jie everywhere. If this thing is not good, my whole family will go to jail. Even if he finds her, he can't avoid the prison with her. I had to wait for Shi Zi'er to calm down, and slowly tell him after a while, and then look for Situ Cheng carefully.
At this time, the daughter of the Shi Lengzi family, Xiang Tao, came to the Shi family with a few burdens:
"My sister came to my house this morning, said that she had found her own parents, told me a few words, and put some cloth to me, so that I could take charge of the sales. Where do I understand these things, and I'm going to give this thing back. ”
Seeing this scene, Xiang Tao asked again:
"Did my sister really leave her own parents?"
Shi Zi'er saw that Xiang Tao knew that Situ Cheng was gone, and suddenly sat down on the ground and muttered:
"You can go, I'm happy for you when you find your biological parents. I also know that your background is extraordinary, and now that you are back in a rich family, you no longer have to work day and night, I am really happy for you. Do you think I don't know how to feel sorry for you, you have red eyes for weaving, and you don't listen to your mother's advice. Shizier sat on the ground and cried.
"But why don't you wait for me to come back and leave, why don't you tell me and leave, you can say goodbye to the peach, why can't you tell me? Do you think I'm going to stop you? ”
Aunt Shi was so sad to see him, and she really wanted to tell him the truth.
"Mother, why don't you stop her. I told you that I would marry her when I grew up. Why did you lose my daughter-in-law, you compensate me for my daughter-in-law. Shi Zi'er said loudly and angrily, which startled Aunt Shi and dispelled the idea of telling him the truth, this child was a little crazy.
"What are you mentioning a joke between children?" Uncle Shi said.
"That's not a joke, who said it was a joke, did she tell you a joke?" Shi Zi'er shouted to Uncle Shi.
"You little, do you have any rules? It's lawless, isn't it, what are you crying on the ground like crazy? Your Lao Tzu is not dead yet, and when your Lao Tzu is tossed to death by you, it is not too late for you to cry and mourn. Uncle Shi scolded angrily.
I saw that Shi Zi'er stood up and stopped sitting on the ground in the yard, but went to move the straw mat erected at the base of the wall and spread it in the yard. Aunt Shi saw him acting strangely and said, "This kid is stupid, what are you going to do?" ”
"No, I'm going to wait for her. She's going back to bed when it's dark, and she promised me to tell me the story of the Cowherd and Vega last night, and she's always talked. ”
It turned out that in the hot summer weather, the farmers would spread straw mats in the yard at night to lie down and cool down.
Shizier laid the straw mat and lay down on it, as if he saw the stars in the sky. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
