Chapter 157: The Truth of the Persecution of the Prodigy

Old Eighth Road, what is that? Lao Feng suddenly saw the two tombs, so he stopped and asked. The place was very open, the flat ground slowly protruded from all directions, and the two tombs were built on the convex roof, which was very conspicuous, and strangers would be curious when they saw it!

General's Tomb. Lao Balu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Lao Feng's sudden question, and then he naturally looked up! Yes, the General's Tomb, no one is more familiar with the General's Tomb than him, this is the General's Tomb that he personally rounded!

General's Tomb? What does that mean? Is there a history? Tell me about it. Lao Feng said curiously and impatiently.

Do you know Qi Jiguang? Lao Balu said.

Famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, national heroes, who in the world do not know! Lao Feng didn't hesitate to say the wrong thing.

The tombstone of his death will remain with us, I'm afraid you don't know this! Lao Balu said.

Yes? How much is in your stomach, how do you always surprise me! There are so many things that are impossible at all, but they will become facts in the mouth! Tell me about it! As soon as Lao Feng heard this, he came to his senses, and pestered Lao Balu to tell him what was going on! He only knew that after the death of the ruling minister Zhang Juzheng, he was attacked by the opposition, and Qi Jiguang was also implicated, and was later removed from his official position, returned to his hometown Shandong, and died of illness in his hometown.

Lao Balu glanced at Lao Feng, then at the general's tomb, sighed and said, go. Since you are not sleepy, let's go and have a look. I'll tell you a sad story, and I haven't seen his old man for a long time!

What the? Still an old man? Can it be handled? You should occupy less of the light of other people's heroes. What do people have to do with you? Lao Feng felt that the more he talked about the old Balu, the more outrageous it became!

What is his last name? Lao Balu asked.

Qi! Lao Feng replied.

What's my last name? Lao Balu asked again.

Qi Yi! Lao Feng replied.

That's it, the sound of the two words is the same, in fact, the neat Qi surname is the evolution of relatives! There's a lot of story. Let's go, let's go, I'll tell you. Lao Balu said.

……

The rooster cries for the fifth watch, and the sound of the dog urges the smoke to rise; The old farmer does not call the old cow, and there are already birds standing on the branches.

The village girl slowly got up from the kang. She knew that everyone hadn't slept well last night, and it was time to cook, so she was afraid of alarming everyone, so she tiptoed up.

She opened the door of the house, and the first thing she saw was the stone table, which was full of dishes and chopsticks, and she suddenly remembered the scene of Lao Balu and Lao Feng drinking in the courtyard at night, and they didn't know what time they had drunk. I don't know when I left, but I remember that the dazed family was woken up by the two children in the bed, and after a conversation, they fell asleep again. I forgot to put away the dishes and chopsticks! The village girl sighed and said, Hey, I'm physically and mentally exhausted from being troubled for a while. I haven't eaten a single meal and slept peacefully. Look at this confused brain! The village girl complained about herself in her heart! She walked towards the stone table, still underestimating in her heart. Is it that I am used to being a wife at Li Changji's house, living all day long in clothes to stretch out my hands for food and open my mouth, and I have forgotten the fireworks in the world?

When she was about to clean up these dishes and chopsticks, Shi Dan's mother also came out, and she screamed when she looked at these dishes and chopsticks with an "oops"!

The village girl hurriedly asked, what's wrong?

Shi Dan Ma said, look at these bowls.

What happened to the chopsticks? The village girl said.

Why do you eat so cleanly? Shi Dan's mother said with a look of surprise.

At this time, the village girl heard Shi Dan's mother say this, and looked at these clean bowls, and wondered, yes, how could it be so clean? But after thinking about it, there is nothing strange about it, these dishes and chopsticks are left in the yard and not cleaned up, they must be eaten by cats. But it's not right, if you want to say that the cat eats some meat, the only meat on the table is the chicken left over from the stew for Niu Er, and the others are vegetarian dishes, and the worst thing is to have some fried peanuts left! Look at these plates and bowls, the only ones that are clean are those who have not brushed the bowls, and there is not even a single vegetable residue left!

The village girl and Shi Dan's mother stood at the stone table, you look at me, I look at you, and they were confused by the dishes and chopsticks on the table!

Just when she was stunned, Xiaoyu's mother also came out of the house, she rolled up her sleeves as she walked, and muttered in her mouth, you see you two too, why don't you call me when you get up to cook. When she walked out of the house and saw the two village girls and Shi Dan's mother in a daze, she also found the dishes and chopsticks on the stone table. After she saw the dishes and chopsticks, she also wanted to count down her own meal, why after the old man left, he didn't know to get up and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, no wonder the child said that he "has no virtue"! But when she saw these clean dishes and chopsticks, there was only a question left in her mind, why did she eat so cleanly?!

It's really hard to explain, the street door is closed well, and there is no dog at home, only the cat that jumped over the wall in the upper room has the ability to come to the yard. Even if it is eaten by cats, as the saying goes, "cat food, cat food" is a little enough, it will not eat all these dishes, and even drink the soup! Besides, they will make a clinking bowl when they eat, so why don't they hear any movement at all?!

Haunted? The three of them looked at each other at the same time, as if to say, who did this?

They thought of people!

Xiaoyu and Shi Dan have long been awakened by the sound of their mothers talking! They remember the events of last night, the good person in their minds, they have always appeared in their minds, they feel that they are doing a great deed, and they have done a great deed, they have saved a hero, and they are protecting this hero!

The two children put their heads under the quilt, and the two of them were discussing countermeasures!

What should I do, Shidan, my mother may be suspicious! Xiaoyu muttered at the stone egg.

That's it, what do you say? Stone Egg has no idea.

Anyway, we must keep it secret for good people, this is called righteousness on the rivers and lakes, and we must also be righteous! Xiaoyu said.

Right! We must also be righteous and never betray our friends! Let's just say we don't know! Stone Egg said.

At this time, I saw Xiaoyu's mother come in in a hurry. lifted the quilt of the two children and stared at them. Cross your waist and ask the two children angrily, what are you two doing? Yes. You two little rabbit cubs honestly confessed, did you two eat up the dishes on the stone table? Xiaoyu's mother suddenly remembered that after they talked for a while, she found that the child was not sleeping on the kang, and remembered that she shouted at that time, and the child answered outside the house, and she expected that the child must be making trouble!

It's over, it's time to do things again, it's time to do big things! What can I do, the two children were so frightened by their angry mother that they didn't dare to say anything! The two sat up. You look at me, I look at you, I mean, what to do?

Look at what! Tell you the truth, be honest, didn't you two eat?! Xiaoyu's mother asked again.

Be. Shi Dan said timidly.

Fart! How many dishes can you eat?! Stare and tell nonsense, and tell the truth if you don't want to be beaten! Xiaoyu's mother yelled!

No. Xiaoyu saw her mother looking at her, so she replied timidly when she saw her mother's fierce appearance.

You're farting too! You're both chickens from one of my troughs. I don't know how much you two can eat! I'll remake those dishes now, and if you two finish eating, even if you two are telling the truth. If you can't finish eating, see if I don't beat your ass in half! Originally, Xiaoyu's mother was suspicious of those meals, but her answers were different. She felt that there was something wrong with this!

The butt is meant to be in half. Shi Dan muttered quietly.

At this time, the village girl helped Shi Dan's mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the stone table. Seeing that Xiaoyu's mother was still counting the two children loudly in the house, she hurriedly walked into the house. I happened to hear Shi Dan say that, so he "poofed" and said with a smile, okay, see you scared the children, they still dare to speak!

You see they have slept and grown, and they have learned to lie! Isn't this a bastard with his eyes open? Xiaoyu's mother became more and more angry the more she talked!

The village girl glanced at Xiaoyu's mother and said, I'll ask and try it, you can't ask for a result like this, you can only scare the child! The village girl sat on the kang, looked at the two children and said, "Child, this is not a trivial matter." Your mother told us in the yard just now, and after we finished talking last night, you two went to the yard, and only you two know what happened outside. What happened outside, what did you both see, don't hide it from us, say it and we can figure it out together, right?

The village girl's words seemed to move the two children, so they nodded, and then as if they remembered something, they looked at each other for a moment, and shook their heads again.

Seeing that the two children wanted to say but didn't want to say it, the village girl thought that maybe the weight of what she said was not enough, and what she said was not specific and transparent, so she said, you two, our hearts are the same as Spiegel, the dishes in those bowls are not eaten by cats or dogs, they must be eaten by people! Do you think you two can eat that much? Even if the two grandfathers don't have much left, you two have dinner, even if you two can eat so much, you won't drink all the soup and water, right?! In other words, there must be a reason for this! A discerning person understands at a glance, you say that you two don't tell the truth, can your mother not be angry?

The two children are out of words! Every word of the village girl hits the nail on the head, there is no place to hide, if you don't want to admit it, it's a denial, there is only a dead end!

If we do, what about the good man? He must have unspeakable hardships hiding in the tunnels, so a capable person, reduced to today's step, how much distress do you think he will have, even if he has someone to tell, it will not fall to this point today! The good man said before leaving, "Son, if the adults ask, you can say whatever you want, and it's better to tell the truth!" So why did he say that? That's because good people are righteous! He was afraid that we would be embarrassed and punished by the adults, and all this came true! So what do we do? Didn't we all discuss it just now? Don't talk about it even if you kill it! You can't say that you beat your ass in half, anyway, your ass is in half, let's beat it, we must protect a good person, he saved our lives, what is this bit of flesh and skin?

The village aunt looked at the hesitation of the two children, but she still didn't want to say, so she asked, what's wrong? Am I still not clear what I am talking about?

The two children shook their heads.

The village girl saw that the two children shook their heads, and shook their heads to agree with what he said, so she urged, since you think what I said is right, then hurry up?

The two children looked at each other again. He shook his head again.

You two little bastards, what your master and wife said is so clear. You two are still not honest, see if I don't beat you two! Xiaoyu's mother can't hold it anymore! There's clearly something wrong with that. There must be one other person besides them at night, and when she thinks of this person, she is terrified! You think, in the middle of the night, a stranger suddenly appeared in the yard, and the two children were with this stranger, and they sheltered him, hiding it, if something really happened. What a terrible thing that is!

Xiaoyu's mother really couldn't restrain herself, and she raised her slap to hit the two children, when the mill and the stone walked in from outside and said, what do you think you are shouting when you get up in the morning? You can't sleep and you don't let others sleep! You see you scare the kids like weasels eating chickens!

There was a big incident at home last night, and as far as they knew, they asked them and they just didn't say it. You say that people are in a hurry, but people are not in a hurry! Xiaoyu's mother said. Then Xiaoyu's mother told the mill and the stone what happened during the night.

As soon as the mill and the stone heard that this was not a trivial matter, the two of them immediately thought of the mysterious man, and suddenly felt a cold shiver all over their bodies, and a cold sweat came down! They looked at the two children. Seeing the child's timid appearance, I thought to myself, let's ask. But the child doesn't want to say, so don't ask. But this happened to the two children, and the matter was very important; They are the only ones in the know. Since the two children are reluctant to say it, there must be something strange in it. Last night everyone had proven that the mysterious man was a good man, which meant that he would not hurt the child and the family. In this way, last night's incident, did the two children have some agreement with the mysterious person? Why did the two children stubbornly beat them to death?

Kid, listen to Dad, okay? Mill said.

Xiaoyu and Stone Egg nodded. The heart said that it was about the same, and it was okay to ask, but don't bully people!

When I ask you, you two just nod and shake your head, okay? Mill said again.

The two children nodded again.

Did you see anything last night? Mill asked.

Xiaoyu and Shidan looked at each other, so they nodded. They believe that this question does not touch on the core issue, and that this question can be answered.

Nianzi looked at everyone for a moment, meaning that this is right, what the child did see in the yard last night, this is certain.

Do you think you can't tell adults about this? Mill asked again.

The two children nodded again.

Why? It's to keep it secret for him, there's an agreement between you, is that right? Mill asked again. Now I can be sure that there was indeed a mysterious person in the courtyard last night, and this mysterious person is the mysterious person they said!

When the two children heard this, they looked at each other for a moment, looked at the mill and nodded, and then shook their heads again.

What does that mean? nodded, why did you shake your head again? The mill asked, puzzled.

What you just said, we will nod if we are right, and we will shake our heads if we are wrong, don't you understand?! The two children said confidently!

Hey! You two little rabbits, you two have a good discussion with the two of you, and you're still stiffened! Grinder said in his heart.

At this moment, the people in the house suddenly heard a knock on the street door and two people entered. People turned around and looked outside, and these two people were none other than Lao Balu and Lao Feng. The sky is bright, Lao Balu said, let's go back first, there is time to say in the future, let's hurry up and go home and stare for a while, pick up some food, there are still a lot of tasks today. In this way, the two hurried back.

As soon as Lao Balu and Lao Feng entered the door, they saw that their families were all in the house, and Shi Dan's mother was busy on the stove alone.

At this time, Xiaoyu and Shidan saw that the two grandfathers were back, and now they had the spirit and the momentum! shouted loudly, "grandpa, grandpa", got up from a bone on the kang, and ran out, Xiaoyu threw himself into Lao Balu's arms, and the stone egg threw himself into Lao Feng's arms, and cried loudly, grandpa grandpa, they bully people!

The people in the room all laughed when they looked at these two angry and funny little guys!

Lao Balu and Lao Feng hurriedly coaxed the child and said, okay baby, grandpa is back, I have something to tell grandpa, grandpa is in charge of you!

At this time, Xiaoyu's mother hurriedly came over and said, there was an accident at home last night! Then she told her what had happened.

When Xiaoyu's mother was talking, Lao Balu's mind began to flicker non-stop! This matter was a very sensitive topic for him when he came! Before Xiaoyu's mother finished speaking, he realized that the iron abacus had come last night! It must be him?

But the question is, who is the person they are chasing? Iron abacus?

At this time, not only Lao Balu was thinking about this problem, but Lao Feng was also thinking about this question at the same time, was the person who ran out an iron abacus?

Once this question appeared in their minds, the two of them couldn't help but shudder!

Lao Balu hurriedly walked to the stone table and sat down, and beckoned Lao Feng to sit down, he looked at the two children very seriously, very seriously and said, child, this is a very big thing, you must tell the truth to grandpa! Before you two speak, I'll be a grandfather first to report to your two little heroes about our search for the mysterious man last night! We went to ask your master, and your master made it clear to us, that mysterious person is the person who came up with your master and teacher from under this stone mill, his name is Tie Abacus, he is a very good person, he was wronged and framed by others, but he is not dead, he is still alive! He has been living in the tunnel, living a life of no one and no ghost, and we feel very sad! We must rescue him and let the hero see the light of day again!

Lao Balu paused for a moment, and then said, our operation last night failed, and a person ran from under our noses, and now we are not sure if the person who ran is an iron abacus! He came to our house last night, you two must have seen it, didn't you? I have to confirm this to save him!

Xiaoyu and Shidan heard the seriousness of the problem from their grandfather's words, and they also got a lot of things they didn't know. Just like Grandpa just said, we must save him, otherwise something will happen!

Yes grandpa, we met him, he came out of the tunnel under the stone mill, and ate all the leftovers of the meal you and Grandpa Feng ate, he was hungry, and we watched him finish eating!

What is he like now? Lao Balu asked eagerly.

The hair is very long and messy, and the face is dirty, and you can't see the human appearance! It's not good to smell sour and smell bad! Xiaoyu said.

Lao Balu remembered what the militia said again, the militia just said "it smells sour", but it is not sure that it smells sour! He also said that the hair is not very long, which is different from what the two children described! At this time, Lao Balu sniffed in the air with his nose, and there was still a rare trace of sourness, so you can imagine how much smell he had! What would it taste like if it was in a narrow tunnel?

Lao Balu's mind suddenly had a thought, could it be that there was someone else in the tunnel? Once this bold idea appeared in Lao Balu's mind, he kept asking himself in his heart, then the person who ran out must not be an iron abacus!

So who is he? (To be continued......)
