Chapter 57 Disposition
"Ahh
The screams of the man killing a pig pierced the silence of the long night. It's a pity that the people who woke up were dozens of people in the deserted post, and some of the hired workers were called back by two night guards as soon as they got up.
"It's none of your business!" Xu Liu's age is young, but he is also tall and big, his face is flat at this moment, and he is still carrying a long knife on his body, and more than a dozen hired workers are stunned and don't even dare to squeak.
When they returned to Tongpu and lit the oil lamp, they found that there were three people missing from the house. Several people looked at each other, carefully looked at the closed door, and then asked in a low voice, "Where are Lao Gao, Mengzi and Leopard?" ”
Farming is hard work, and land reclamation is even more so. Even if Ruan Bai has a lot of cattle and farming tools here, he doesn't save much effort. So many places here, after all. The clods of earth that had been ploughed up had to be broken up little by little with a hoe, and the clods were mud on the surface and frozen like stones underneath. At the end of the day, the whole person is so tired that he can swing when he walks, and he can fall asleep when he lies on the bed, and he doesn't know when the three people are gone.
"Ahh
After a while, Lao Zhuang, the eldest of the hired men, spoke: "Blow out the lights." ”
The screams outside were so miserable that a few young people were a little frightened, and they couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Zhuang, what do you say is going on?" ”
"It can't be that there is something wrong with the master's family, right?"
"I heard that rich people are weird......
"Shut up!" Lao Zhuang suddenly roared, "What do we eat, use, and wear these days?" Hurry up and go to bed, get up early tomorrow and turn the ground, don't be a white-eyed wolf. ”
In the dark, all the cheeks that were originally a little unbalanced in my heart were hot.
When they came, not to mention the luggage, they didn't have a single piece of clothing that was not torn. It has only been two days now, and the girls here have already mended all their torn clothes, some of which they really can't wear, and have found a few old clothes for them to change.
Although the room is a bunk, it is not crowded for more than a dozen people to live in, and the house is not leaky. Oil lamps and the like are also equipped, which are better than at home. There is no shortage of coverings.
As for the food, they can see meat almost every meal, twice a day, and breakfast is thicker than their original home. Dinner is a real dry meal. There are also people in the middle who bring hot water.
Even if they really can't turn the corner, after a period of exile, they know to cherish the present. No one wants to go back to the days when the day was precarious, eating the last meal without the next, and even grabbing the head for a bite of gluttony.
Soon there was no sound in the darkness, Xu Liu moved a stool to the door, took out a book from his chest, and began to learn to read by the light of the torch. The adults of their family said that they would have to take the exam every month in the future, not only to test martial arts, but also to ...... Well, culture!
In the middle of the night, all the torches in the barren post were lit.
The three hired men who were missing from the shop were all tied up and thrown on the ground. All three of them had red, swollen and bruised faces, and some dirt on their bodies, and they had obviously been taught a lesson.
Ruan Bai and Chu Hao sat at the top, and the rest of the people were all sitting or standing on both sides.
Chu Hao has always been cold, Ruan Bai is also very capable of pretending, not to mention the three people who actually made mistakes, even the people in the desert post who did not make mistakes did not dare to gasp.
After a while, Ruan Bai slowly ordered: "Liniang, you take someone to check, there is something missing." ”
"Yes, sir." Li Niang turned her head and called Yun Gu, Pan Daning and Tang Xinhou to follow.
There are only a few places in the stockpile. One is the treasury and cellar, and the key is in the hands of Li Niang and Ruan Bai. One is the kitchen, which is all managed by Yun Gu. One is the livestock shed, which has been handed over to him since Tang Xinhou came. Ruan Bai and Chu Hao have another room where they put some books and other miscellaneous items, but that room has a high technical content, except for Ruan Bai, even Chu Hao can't go in without alarming a person when he doesn't have a key. One is the workshop, where the men do the carpentry work.
Usually Ah Qiang is in charge of the workshop, but today he is not called Ah Qiang because of the relationship between Lao Gao. Cuong also knew, his face full of shame, and he didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that he was just chatting casually with Lao Gao, but the other party was deliberately talking about it, the purpose was to know where to steal the money, and he took action tonight.
But Lao Gao didn't know that there were people on duty every night in the deserted post. In general, there are two postmen and two men every day. Tonight it's Xu Liu and Zhou Dahu, and the other two are Ah Qiang and Ah Hai. At the time of the incident, it was the second half of the night when Ah Qiang and Xu Liu were on duty, and Lao Gao was caught by Ah Qiang himself.
Liniang is very careful on weekdays, and everything is registered clearly. It was quick to check at this time, and in the end, there was less rice and bacon in the kitchen, as well as some coarse cloth and an axe in the workshop. The axe was seized on the spot, and the fierce man was carrying the axe and preparing to cut the door lock of the storeroom.
The rest of the things don't need to be taken out by the third child, and the big fat and the little fat can be easily found. The chubby puppy cub was rewarded with a large piece of cartilage meat for supper, and Ruan Bai was slightly worried. How long does it take to eat supper, the name of the big fat and the little fat is not good at all, if they grow up they can only be a ball, how embarrassing it is for the father who can bite a wolf to death.
At this time, the one who has the leisure to worry about the dog cub is Ruan Bai.
As for Chu Hao, now he is only worried about being dug up from the bed in the middle of the night, whether his second dog will catch a cold, and whether he will lack sleep tomorrow. Therefore, he didn't have much patience for such a trivial matter, and when he looked at the thieves he found, he just said: "Find an empty room and close it for the time being, and send people to the government tomorrow." ”
When the three of them heard this, they made a "whine" sound, but their mouths were blocked and they couldn't distinguish for themselves at all.
Li Niang looked at them and sneered: "What else do you want to say?" Do you want to say that what you stole is only Ah Qiang's things, or do you want to say why they are all from the same village, why don't you have Ah Qiang? ”
Lao Gao and the three of them didn't whine, but looked at Liniang with such eyes, and there was a trace of contempt for Liniang.
Li Niang sneered, and she was not angry: "Don't say that the lives of our people are all the master's, even what we have is also rewarded to us by the master." What we have has nothing to do with your penny. As for Cuong's stuff...... Didn't Ah Qiang tell you that the master had already divided the family, and now he keeps all his personal things? Ah Qiang, when you gave your fellow villager meat and food these days, didn't you expect to share the master's property? ”
What kind of ability is it to be generous to others? If it weren't for the fact that everyone had been together for so long, they knew each other's personalities to some extent, and understood that Ah Qiang must not have thought so much about it, most of it was just out of sympathy and the like, otherwise Li Niang's words could have been more ruthless.
Cuong's face was no longer shocked, embarrassed, or ashamed. He felt like he was ashamed.
Ruan Bai is a man of action, saying that if he separates his family, he will divide his family, and he will be clean. Considering the inconvenience and practicality of some things, most of them were converted into money, all of which were distributed and now stacked in everyone's bedroom. None of them are gone now, not because of anything else, but because their houses have not yet been built. Ruan Bai has done his duty to the fullest, and he is still ......
Ah Qiang wiped his face indiscriminately, and he couldn't believe that he was so confused that the slightest thought of interceding for the boss and others rose in his heart.
"Master, I will personally send them to the government tomorrow."
Ruan Bai felt a little strange when he heard Ah Qiang's voice was wrong. Didn't he say anything? Why is this crying? He shook his head silently in his heart, stood up and said, "It's right to have compassion, but you also have to see who you sympathize with." It is necessary to distinguish between right and wrong. ”
"Yes, sir!" Cuong was not the only one who answered, the rest of the people all answered solemnly.
Ruan Bai smiled slightly: "Okay, let's go back to sleep in the middle of the night." ”
Back in the room, Chu Hao asked him, "When you saved those people in the first place, didn't you expect such a thing to happen?" ”
"Huh?" After leaving for a while, there was not much heating left in the quilt, but the guy who was the heater was not conscious at all, what were you doing lying on him through the quilt?
Ruan Bai lifted a little quilt corner and patted it: "Come in quickly." ”
Chu Hao's skills in drilling the quilt were full, and he quickly got into it and hugged the person, feeling that his chest was rubbed by the plush head, and his heart was so soft that he was a mess.
"There's no need to be careful. It would be best if those people could get to know each other, and I wouldn't mind feeding them to the wolves if they didn't. Ruan Bai's words were slightly cold, "I will try my best to save them, I will try my best to bring them back, and they have to try their best to survive." "But overall, these guys are pretty good.
Chu Hao also understood that when the situation was most urgent, in fact, if they just had to leave, the two of them could leave at any time. But he understood even more that Ruan Bai's best efforts were really doing his best, almost to the point of desperateness. If he hadn't been able to bring people back in time at that time, maybe Ruan Bai would have ......
He hugged his second dog a little tighter, and whispered to the guy who was already asleep: "Hard mouth and soft heart." "This person just talks ruthlessly, but in fact he is always tolerant of others, obviously only caring about himself to be more relaxed, but often makes himself a wolf. Like today's incident, if he didn't speak, he could imagine what Ruan Bai would do, either throw out all the people who committed the crime, or let these three people work hard and not pay their wages or something.
It doesn't matter, whoever makes his second dog surnamed Ruan will inevitably have a softer temperament. It's okay to have him in blackface, he will always look at him, and don't let his Ruan Ergou be bullied.
