Chapter 8: The Book of Blood

The Bai family was immediately shocked when they saw that little beggar actually took blood to write documents, and when he bit his fingers, he didn't even frown, and when he squatted there to write, he still looked serious, and they were immediately shocked. Usually there are great grievances when writing blood letters, just like the songs in the drama when the city sings big dramas, those who have been greatly wronged have to write blood letters to sue the officials in the end. Otherwise, who would write something in blood, how scary, how terrifying! Moreover, the countrymen are superstitious and do not want to see blood lightly, and it is unlucky to see blood. Old man Bai and Bai Erniu were even more slightly frightened in their hearts, and the old man Bai could see that this little beggar was expected to be difficult to deal with with his family, and the old woman would not let her go lightly, so she insisted on writing documents, even if she wrote with blood, she was willing. Is this little beggar really just a beggar for food?

Listening to her talk, she really doesn't look like a beggar with brain problems, and she can actually write, and the countrymen have a special respect for scholars. Usually in a village, there are so many literate people, even if they are more respected people in the village. Whenever a country family encounters a happy event, they must ask a person who can write and read to do the paperwork. Help make a note of the gifts or items given by the guests. These things are recorded so that when the gift is returned in the future, you can clearly know how much to repay, how to repay, and which people to repay.

Family relations in the countryside are a big deal, if people give you a gift, and when they do a happy event, your family does not have a gift, or there are too few gifts, it will make people look down on you, or let people say that there are no rules or something. In short, those ugly words are one after another, and they can spread all over the country in a moment. Countrymen love face, if any family makes people say that they don't understand the rules and have less favors, then the family will not be able to raise their heads in the village and let people point fingers everywhere. Therefore, the countryside has a special need for those who can read and write, and they have a lot of respect.

This little beggar is not a fool, but he is literate. Maybe this little beggar is really a middle-of-the-road scholar, and in the end, it will be the turn of a beggar! Then her old woman is really cheating on marriage, giving three coarse steamed buns to others, and letting the family marry her youngest son in a daze, and there are no three media and six hires. I can't say anything about it!

Mrs. Bai sighed in her heart, she couldn't take advantage of the little beggar after this time. At the same time, Mrs. Bai instinctively looked towards the blood book. I always feel that I will not be so unlucky, the beggar I picked up is still literate, maybe this little beggar scribbled to scare his own family? Mrs. Bai clearly remembered that when she picked up the little beggar on the side of the road, she was still in a daze, asking everything in a daze, and she couldn't speak at all. Otherwise, how dare you get it home, and how dare you let your youngest son be a daughter-in-law. Could it be that the little beggar was just hungry and stupid at that time, and after his stomach was full, he immediately turned his face and refused to admit it.

Qiu Ning looked at the wonderful expressions on the Bai family's faces, and knew that he had used the right trick, and now he only needed the Bai family to press the handprint, and it could have legal effect. Qiu Ning was a little distressed, but unfortunately he didn't understand the ancient laws and didn't have a lot of historical knowledge. Tyunin brisked himself and made himself look a little calmer. Then he looked at the old man Bai, "Please also press a handprint, so that everyone can rest assured." ”

Old man Bai feels that it doesn't matter now, more things are better than less things, since this little beggar is not easy to bully, just accept it when you see it! Besides, it's true that you don't have a good word, so it's better to do good deeds. Ten days is ten days, at least it can be regarded as helping the family. The death of the youngest son is also fate, although he has been alive for so many years, he has not left the bitter medicine for a day, and he has not spent a day without being sick. Maybe it's a relief to go like this!

Qiu Ning took the rag to the old man Bai, and then looked serious: "Old man, please take a look, if you don't know how to read it, I can read it to you." Once you've confirmed that it's okay, you're ready to press your handprint. ”

Old Man Bai smiled dryly at Qiu Ning, and then coughed a few more times. finally said vaguely: "Girl, you should read it, I can't read the old man." ”

Qiu Ning did not show a trace of disdain or dissatisfaction, but took the rag and read it seriously. "Today, Qiu Ning owes the Bai family three coarse steamed buns and a ragged cloth, and Qiu Ning is willing to work for the Bai family for ten days and repay the price of the Bai family's three coarse steamed buns and a ragged cloth. After paying it off on the tenth day, the two sides do not owe each other, and the Bai family cannot let Qiu Ning stay in the Bai family for any reason, let alone be rude to Qiu Ning. Qiu Ning will not be lazy in the Bai family, or ask the Bai family for a needle and a penny. But during these ten days of work, the Bai family must provide Qiuning with three meals. Qiu Ning must not make any demands, and the Bai family cannot do anything wrong with Qiu Ning. Qiu Ning read it aloud, fortunately, he had done business with Cantonese people before, and the contracts of Cantonese people were all in traditional Chinese, so Qiu Ning could also recognize traditional Chinese characters and write traditional Chinese characters.

Old man Bai and the Bai family both nodded, yes, there is no problem with this paperwork, it should be how it should be, you can't make any requests for ten days of work for your own family, and it is already your own kindness to eat three meals. But thinking that ten days later, this little beggar would have nothing to do with her family, and her family couldn't do anything with this little beggar, Mrs. Bai still felt pain. But look at the serious appearance of this little beggar, the blood book on the rag is not far away, and the words written by Mrs. Bai when she falls asleep are indeed similar to those written by Xiucai's family in the village, and it doesn't seem to be written indiscriminately.

Mrs. Bai looked at Bai Erniu with a dark face: "Erniuzi, go and take out the booklet of our family's affections, my mother should be right, and see if this little beggar can write indiscriminately." Maybe this little beggar has bad intentions and wants to harm our family? Your father is soft-hearted, don't let that little beggar fool him. ”

After Mrs. Bai finished speaking, she glared at Qiu Ning viciously. Mrs. Bai didn't believe it, she obviously saved a fool, how could she become smart after soaking in the water for a while. I knew that this little beggar was so difficult to deal with, so I shouldn't have let someone save her at that time, and just died. Wouldn't it be better to have a secret marriage for your youngest son, and you have to serve your own son when you die. The son has never touched a woman's body in his life, and he is alone when he leaves like this, and he is lonely and helpless, and it is uncomfortable to think about the old man Bai. Then blame the old man for helping a little beggar to speak.

Qiu Ning smiled coldly, this old woman is too fine, but fortunately she has real materials. Otherwise, with Mrs. Bai's caution and calculation, it would be really difficult for her to get out. Qiu Ning looked at Mrs. Bai generously, "If you can't trust Qiu Ning's writing, you can ask someone in the village who can read to take a look." Otherwise, I'm afraid you can't rest assured, according to the other words, how can you know that Qiu Ning wrote the wrong word? Or is there no confusion to add something? ”
