Chang Xile and Chang Yu's hearts were broken at this time, and they wanted to ignore it, but Chang Xiwang shouted louder and louder, and no matter how strong the * was, it was dispersed.

The two dressed and came out of the house, Chang Xiwang was already impatient to wait, and hurriedly greeted him.

"You can figure it out, why did you go to bed so early, I was so happy to enter the new house today, I feel like I can't sleep all night! Master Tiger, what's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly? ”

Chang Xiwang said a lot of words, completely different from Fang Cai's anxious and angry attitude, and had the leisure to take care of other things.

Chang Xile hurriedly interrupted him, "Third brother, what's going on?" Why are you in such a hurry. ”

Chang Xiwang came back to his senses and clapped his hands violently, "Something is wrong!" Didn't Dali patrol the docks today and catch a gang of gamblers in the blacksmith shop! ”

Chang Xile frowned when he heard this, "Are there people from our Taoyuan Village inside?" ”

The blacksmith shop was not opened by people from Taoyuan Village, but by people from outside.

"Except for the father and son in the blacksmith shop, the others are all from our Taoyuan Village, and now they have been pressed into the ancestral hall, waiting to be released. No, Li Zheng ordered people to come to look for you, and wanted you to go over and deal with them together. ”

Chang Xile did not delay, and walked directly to the ancestral hall in the village with his feet raised.

Gambling is expressly prohibited in Taoyuan Village, and Chang Xile also pays great attention to this issue.

Taoyuan Village has developed too fast in recent years, and most of the villagers have suddenly gone straight to a well-off or even wealthy level from a state where it is difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing. While it is gratifying, it is also easy to nourish the generation of some bad habits.

Gambling is a cancer, and if it is not stopped, the whole village will be damaged. At that time, it will be very difficult to return to the original appearance. The construction of spiritual civilization is often much more difficult than the construction of material civilization, and the former is based on the accumulation of time and is not a one-time achievement, and it is difficult to recover once it collapses.

Therefore, Chang Xile attaches great importance to this, and is very resolute in his attitude towards the behavior of destroying harmony.

I didn't expect that there are still people who knowingly commit crimes against the wind, and now it is the first time that they have found out, and they must be severely punished to set an example.

Chang Xile and Chang Yu came to the ancestral hall in a hurry, Li Zheng and the clan elders had already arrived, and there were four people kneeling on the ground. drooped their heads one by one, and the whole person looked very decadent.

When they saw that Chang was coming with joy, they all stood up and saluted him.

Chang Xile nodded and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Zheng said a little indignantly: "It's all recruited, I started gambling a long time ago, and it's not once or twice." ”

Kneeling on the ground, a person hurriedly cried: "Master Wen, we don't dare anymore, we just played a few games and didn't gamble much." ”

The others also chimed in: "yes, yes, we're just staying there, so we're just thinking about playing a few games." ”

Li Zheng scolded angrily: "How many games can you use to ask for money to gamble?!" You are honest now, and you dared to frame Wang Dali for deliberately making things difficult for you when you came over before! How many times have we said before that gambling can't be touched! Where are all your ears, do you think that you can live a good life for a few days, and you feel that you are angry? If you think life is too good, you can all farm for me!" ”

With the rapid development of the wharf, the shops and personnel of the wharf have skyrocketed, and the original plan for everyone to live in the Shen Family Inn for safety and convenient management can only be canceled. In addition, more and more ships are docking, and many shops are open at night, so some people will stay in the shops to rest.

To ensure safety, the security team also patrols back and forth at night.

And during the day, when Chang Yu was touring the team in the village, he would lead the team here. This is to let outsiders see their strength, so that they dare not provoke lightly.

In the past two years, it has not attracted Xiao Xiaoxiao, but as soon as he saw the armed forces in Taoyuan Village, they all retreated silently. There are those who are not long-sighted, and they are also beaten to the ground, and they don't even need a large army to come forward, just the security team at the dock is enough to deal with it.

Now almost no one dares to fight the idea of the dock, and Chang Xile is relieved to let some people stay in the store, without being so cautious. But I didn't expect that it would give some people the opportunity to start gambling in private, and it was also an outsider's shop. Because they are not their own people, the patrol team will generally not be as casual as entering their own home, and in order to ensure that the interests of outsiders do not panic, although they will pay attention to each other, they will be too probing*.

Chang Xile could clearly see that these four people were not convinced, but because they were oppressed, they had to admit it, so as not to be punished.

It's all good days, and some people start to think about thrills when they have leisure. Chang Xile has seen too many similar situations in his previous life, where the rapid development of a place is a good thing, but in the end, good things often turn into bad things, because wealth makes everyone too idle and breeds depravity.

The four people present are all in a relatively good family situation, they still collect rent at the wharf, and they also hire people from other villages to do the work at home, so they don't have to work by themselves, and they can live a good life.

Chang Xile has long been very attentive to these people, and it is often this kind of person who does not start to work on his own that is most likely to start having problems. Now that I look at it, it turns out to be so.

This is also the reason why he insists that the children of the Chang family should help the family work no matter what the situation, if they live in a too comfortable environment, let them know that they can live well without doing anything, it is not necessarily a blessing for them and the whole family.

"Master Wen, Li Zheng, clan elders, we know that we are wrong, and we are also confused for a while. At first, the two brothers only said that they were looking for some fun at night, and at first we really didn't gamble, but whoever lost was punished and squatted. Later, I felt that this was not interesting, so I began to say that whoever would lose more would be punished and invite everyone to dinner, and then it gradually turned into money......"

"The two brothers in the blacksmith shop led you to gamble?" A clan elder asked.

"Yes, yes, it's all them."

Li Zheng snorted, "Don't say that you are so wronged, if you don't have patience, who can coax you!" How many times has the head of the village said that you can't do this, and you just won't listen. Sneaky people also want to gamble, and if they are caught, they still don't admit it, and they want to slander people. ”

The four of them didn't squeak for a moment.

Li Zheng didn't pay attention to them anymore, but looked at Chang Xile, "What do you think should happen to this?" ”

Chang Xile usually rarely interferes in this kind of affairs in the village, but because he is a person, he will be called over when he encounters major events, which is a sign of respect for him. Although he came back, most of the time he followed the advice of Li Zheng and the clan elders.

"Just follow the rules of the village."

Li Zheng nodded, "According to the village rules, everyone will be whipped ten times, if there is a next time, they will be directly blasted out of the village!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the four of them immediately began to cry.

The village is very strict about gambling, and the ancestors of Taoyuan Village have long been aware of the evils of gambling, so the punishment is very strict. Ten strokes may sound like nothing, but this whip has been specially treated, and each whip can make the skin and flesh open, and most of the ten whips will be killed. If the resistance is poor, it is not impossible to die from the infection.

Above all, flogging was carried out in the most conspicuous place in the village, and it was a great insult to be stripped naked. Not only was it physically tortured, but it was also a very face-losing thing, and I couldn't raise my head in the future.

At this time, some of the family members of the four people who were originally surrounding the ancestral hall couldn't bear it, and a woman rushed in and cried: "Lizheng, you can't be so ruthless, my son just gambled, and the money he lost is also ours, and our own family didn't say anything about you, how can you punish him for this!" My son has never suffered since he was a child, and you can't punish him! ”

"Mother, I don't want to be whipped! Mother, help me! One of them wept even more when he saw this.

"Son, my hard-working son, who are you provoking someone, my mother knows that you must have been deliberately harmed, but someone can't see that we are living a good life!"

Li Zhengtie blushed and looked at the others outside the ancestral hall, "You think the same way?" ”

Although the other three family members felt sorry for their children in their hearts, they were not without opinions in their hearts, but when they heard this, they all shook their heads.

In Taoyuan Village, everyone is still very afraid and respectful of the elders of the Li Zhenghe clan, and they dare not challenge their authority lightly, and Chang Xile and Chang Yu are there.

Li Zheng's face softened a little, because the life of Taoyuan Village has become better over the years, many people have started to make friends with outsiders, and their knowledge is more than before, and some people have begun to disobey discipline. felt that he was a character, and he began to feel a little fluttery, and he didn't know how thick the sky was.

Fortunately, there are not many such people, otherwise this village will be difficult to manage in the future.

Chang Xile looked at the young man in front of him before he didn't react for a while, and when he saw this woman, he remembered the origin of the family.

The family was the first group of people in the village to become wealthy, mainly because the young man's father, Daifuku, was a capable and very good salesman. He was the first to follow Chang Xisheng to run outside, and later Chang Xisheng saw that he could stand up alone, so he let him run the business by himself, and he did not disappoint Chang Xisheng, and finally became one of the best.

The salesman has a commission, which also makes the family rich at the earliest. Since then, there has been a virtuous cycle, and more and more wealth has been accumulated.

Since Shen Baili's accident, Taoyuan Village has not only relied on the forces of Shen Pei and the two families, but also began to seek business opportunities on its own. So externally, Daifuku can be said to be the second in Chang Xisheng.

And Daifuku ran a lot outside, especially when the business he came into contact with was relatively large, and he came into contact with many rich and noble people, and he learned some stinky problems outside.

I feel that if I am rich, I should be like those rich families, raising maids or something. Now there are a lot of helpers at home, and I don't have to do any work. If it weren't for the fact that slaves were not allowed to be bought and sold in the village, I was afraid that I would have to buy some maids and servants to come back and serve.

Chang Xisheng mentioned this matter before, and he felt very unaccustomed to it. However, this is also a matter of other people's homes, and it is not easy to manage it so carefully, and he also told you that you have to work, and you can't hire people, which is not appropriate. Just mentioned a few words, Dafu only said that they have few families, and besides, he is away all the year round, but he is ashamed of his family, so he doesn't want his family to suffer.

Isn't he working so hard just to make his family happy? Talking like this, Chang Xisheng didn't say much.

"Since you have no opinion, the execution will begin tomorrow at noon." Li Zheng looked at the crying mother and son again, "As for you, since you are not convinced, then wait for your man to come back and make a decision." ”

The mother and son thought that Li Zheng was soft and suddenly happy, and the woman said proudly: "Son, don't worry, your father won't have to be punished when he comes back!" ”

The mother and son were proud, but they didn't see that everyone looked at them with sympathy.

Li Zheng recruited people in the middle of the night, how could it be a normal thing. And this is a clear provision in the village rules, the attitude of the two mothers and children is not friendly, and they will be severely punished later. It's just that this woman is from outside and doesn't know the rules of Taoyuan Village, so she will make such a fuss, otherwise no matter how much she hurts the child, she can't do this.

It had happened too late, and by the time everyone had dispersed, it was already late at night.

Although the strength of the wine had dissipated, he became very sleepy, and when he returned, he kept yawning.

"Lele, I'll carry you back." As he spoke, he half-squatted directly in front of Chang Xile.

Chang Xile smiled: "Just like this, I can still walk." When I was seen, everyone thought something was wrong with me. ”

Chang Yu maintained his original movements, insisting on carrying Chang Xile on his back.

Chang Xile is helpless, although this kid has become much calmer than before, he is still a twisted man. Sometimes the idea is still very strange, and it is still insistent, and there is no room for negotiation. Chang Yu actually wanted to carry him around since he was a child, like a real tiger.

Chang Xile looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, he lay on Chang Yu.

And at this time, Chang Xile also realized that Chang Yu had really grown up, and he was originally a small one, but now his shoulders were wider than him, and he became stronger and more powerful.

"How do I think I'm like an old man now, I can't walk anymore, I have to let you carry it on my back."

"I'll carry you on my back until I grow old."

Chang Xile laughed, "I really think of myself as a tiger." ”

Chang Yu nodded seriously, "I want you to ride on me." ”

Chang Yu still occasionally runs on all fours, but most of them are in the mountains, and rarely in front of people. He runs faster and faster on all fours than on his feet, and this ability seems to be imprinted in his bones, and will not change due to changes in his habits.

His greatest wish is to carry Chang Xile through the forest, but Chang Xile is not used to being carried around, and the sickness of the horse can be seen. Chang Yu was very depressed in his heart, he had been waiting to grow up and realize this wish, but he didn't expect Chang Xi to be unbearable.

Chang Xile could feel Chang Yu's emotions fluctuating and knew the regret in his heart. In the past, he felt that it was too inhuman to be carried around, especially as a child, but now he understood that it was an obsession. Especially the more intimate it is, the more Chang Yu wants to realize this wish, and has a mentality that the most beautiful scenery wants to share with you.

"Shall we try then?"

Chang Yu immediately shook his head, "You'll be uncomfortable." ”

"Maybe I don't faint you, if it's uncomfortable, we'll stop immediately."

Chang Yu's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head again.

"I want to know what it feels like, or do you hate that my legs are too long?"

As soon as Chang Yu heard this, he directly lay on the ground and let Chang Xile ride on his waist, "Hold on to me." ”

After that, he ran quickly, and did not forget to ask Chang Xile about his situation as he ran.

Chang Xile was surprised not to feel the abnormality, he felt the oncoming wind, although at first he was very uncomfortable with this somewhat abusive posture, and his legs were bent and it was not very comfortable, but he was soon fascinated by this feeling. The originally sleepy brain became extremely awake

"I'm fine, you run."

Chang Yu was even more excited when he heard this, and his speed increased to the maximum, galloping like a real tiger. This is a speed and sensitivity that ordinary humans can't achieve, but it is unusually smooth, so that Chang Xile only feels the speed but is not bumped in the slightest.

Although Chang Xile felt very happy, he stopped Chang Yu after a while, but he was still reluctant to do this. Although Chang Yu was very happy, he always felt as if he was abusing people. Chang Yu did not refuse, did not run to other places, but went home directly.

When he entered the house, the first thing Chang Xile did was to light the candle, check Chang Yu's hands, and breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that they were not worn out.

Chang Yu grabbed his hand, "Lele, I'm very happy today." ”

Chang Xi smiled, although he didn't understand this obsession very well, after all, this kind of behavior seemed to be abuse to him, it can be seen that Chang Yu was satisfied, and he was not annoyed by the interruption of his previous intimate affairs, so he knew how much this matter meant to him.

You must know that Chang Yu had long expected the two of them to go further, but they were both interrupted at the last step, and Chang Yu himself was also annoyed. If it was Chang Yu two years ago, I am afraid that he would have gone crazy directly. Now Chang Yu has grown up and is more calm than before, so he can't bear it.

However, this is also based on the fact that these four people will definitely not be able to avoid punishment today, otherwise they will definitely not end well. It doesn't work on the surface, but secretly Chang Yu has a way to rectify people.

"It's good if you're happy, it seems that I only faint the horse and not you."

Chang Yu smiled even brighter, and this is what he should look like when he is a teenager. Chang Yu began to train everyone, and coupled with the conscious approach to Chang Xile, he became more calm. And he is tall, and his face lines are very tough, so he looks quite mature, and he will only occasionally find the appearance of this age in his expression.

As soon as he returned home, Chang Xile's sleepiness came up again, Chang Yu didn't bother him anymore, and asked him to go to bed quickly. The two stuck together, and did not continue what they had left undone.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but Chang Yu feels sorry for Chang Xile's body, and he has always kept in mind the doctor's words, Chang Xile's body and bones need to be raised. Not only diet and other things are important, but also lifestyle habits. *Satisfaction is very important, but in Chang Yu's opinion, it is far less important than Chang Xile's physical health.

The next day, when the other three were punished, Daifuku came back, and Li Zheng didn't beat around the bush and asked him directly what his attitude was.

Daifuku hesitated for a while before he spoke: "Lizheng, I know that this is not right for my baby." But ten whips are too heavy, my child has not been in good health since he was a child, so wouldn't ten whips kill him? ”

"When did our village become so unkind, this rule was to let everyone know what to do and what not to do, not to really want his life. You say he can't stand it, so come with a whip and a whip. ”

The rules of Taoyuan Village have always been strict, but if it weren't for evil, it wouldn't really force people to death.

Daifuku suddenly stopped saying anything, and everyone understood that he was just making excuses.

"Daifuku, you have been running around all these years, and you should know best what will happen in the future if you get involved in gambling. If you feel sorry for him now, you will hurt him! The patriarch of the Daifuku family persuaded bitterly.

"But now it's different from before, we used to be poor and couldn't afford to lose, but now we have money, and it's nothing to play occasionally. My son, I know, is a bit of a playman, not a mad gambler. Li Zheng, the clan elder and Master Wen, please let him go, my son really can't be beaten. ”

The clan elder shook his head and sighed, his face turned to the side.

"This is a village rule, and there is no room for pleading. Since you feel that it is unfair, either you will bite the bullet and let your son admit the punishment, or you will get out of the village directly, if you are not from our Taoyuan Village, we are too lazy to bother with this effort. ”

When everyone heard this, they all thought that the Daifuku family would compromise, but they didn't expect it to be otherwise.

Dafu was stunned, gritted his teeth, knelt directly on the ground, and kowtowed to Chang Xile.

"Master Wen, I know that it is thanks to your support that I have my great fortune today, but this village can't accommodate our family, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to get ahead, I will not forget this kindness in this life."

After saying that, he stood up and took his wife and children and left.

Everyone was embarrassed when they saw this, and they all felt that the Dafu family was a demonic obstacle, and they left Taoyuan Village for such a thing. Now Taoyuan Village is a place of happiness, why do you still want to leave?

But Chang Xile and Li Zheng knew very well in their hearts that this great blessing was already not uncommon in Taoyuan Village.

Taoyuan Village is lively and peaceful, but it is not as prosperous as the house. Over the years, Daifuku has often run outside, and he is no longer a simple salesman. He's a nimble man, and he's been out in business for a long time.

I didn't leave Taoyuan Village before, but I still have attachment, but now that I encounter such a thing, I don't want my son to still suffer in this place.

The clan elder shook his head and sighed, "This person's heart is big, he can't be locked up in the end, there will always be a day, but he is harming his son by doing this now!" ”

"Eat the evil fruits you have sown, and there will be times when he regrets it in the future." Li Zhengdao.

In the end, the Taifuku family left Taoyuan Village, and the other three people were punished, and they were no longer allowed to work at the docks, and if they committed it again, they had to get out of Taoyuan Village; The father and son of the blacksmith shop were terminated early for violating their previous agreement, and they were no longer allowed to do business at the docks.

This incident rang a bell on the heads of the villagers of Taoyuan Village, don't think that if you have some money, you will be frivolous, the village rules are as big as the sky.
