Early the next morning, while the family servant was still sleeping, Niu Bajin threw the two bags of grain out of the back wall. Then he carried his pocket out of the village. When he returned in the evening, the wheat of both of them had turned into flour.

But Niu Bajin did not bring the flour home, but avoided the villagers and quietly carried it into the village chief's house. After a while, the courtyard door of the village chief's house opened a crack, and Niu Bajin saw that there was no one around, so he opened the door and flashed out. After making some rounds around, he went straight home.

As soon as Niu Bajin entered the house, he heard his three sons arguing with the officials. Niu Bajin suppressed the anger and walked two steps into the hall, and said, "What is the noise? What's wrong? ”

The third cow was full of tears and said: "Dad, these two errand servants are unreasonable! They took advantage of our absence to kill our chickens and eat them. I said why didn't they follow us to the field today, and I thought they were lazy, but I didn't expect them to steal our chicken at home! ”

Niu Bajin hadn't spoken yet, Huang San spoke first. At home today are the Huang brothers who were guarding the Niu family at the beginning. Huang San said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with eating your chicken?" I also told you that eating your chicken is giving your family face! When your family goes to prison in the future, you may even ask our brother to help take care of it! ”

As soon as they heard this scoundrel-like words, Niu Mantun and Niu Mancun were furious, raised their hands and wanted to hit them, but they were grabbed by Niu Bajin and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter! Besides, Boss, kill all the remaining chickens! There's no point in keeping it, so let's have a good meal tonight. ”

The three brothers who said it in one sentence were all stunned! I'm thinking in my heart, isn't the old man crazy? Seeing that they were stunned, Niu Bajin urged: "Hurry up, don't let the poor master wait!" ”

The Huang brothers were also stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know what Niu Bajin was going to do. Hearing Niu Bajin's urging, the two reacted, it turned out that they wanted to please our brother! So the two of them also laughed, and Huang Si said with a smile: "The old guy finally wants to open it!" It just so happens that one chicken is not enjoyable today, and I can eat another one in the evening! But don't worry, when you go to the county government in the future, our brother will take care of you! ”

The three brothers of Niu Mantun listened to the words and went to kill the chicken unwillingly. It is important to know that in ancient farming homes, chickens were a very important asset. There is a lack of needles and threads at home, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar or something, basically all of which are exchanged for eggs. If you don't have chickens at home, your life will definitely be greatly affected. Whoever doesn't raise chickens, or doesn't raise them well, will be scolded as lazy by the villagers behind their backs!

Niu Bajin waved his hand and motioned for the three brothers to hurry up and get it, then turned around and went back to his house. The dinner was a rare sumptuous meal for the Niu family. There were six people in the room, and each of them was given a chicken, and there was one left on the table. The piece of bacon on the beam of the house was also mixed with green vegetables and fried together. The three brothers of the Niu family are full of bitterness! The Huang brothers are smiling!

Because there were two more servants in the family, the three brothers had to live in Niu Mangu's room. Niu Mangu is still young, and he has eaten so many good things today, and he is sleeping happily.

Niu Mancun stared at Fang Liang and said, "Big brother, what do you mean by what do you think Dad is today?" There are no good things left at home. Is it because our family can't escape this catastrophe? ”

Niu Mantun replied angrily, "I don't know." I can't guess what Daddy thinks! ”

After saying these two sentences, the two brothers were silent again. The two brothers were actually not sleepy, lying there staring at the beam of the house and thinking about their thoughts, but they just didn't want to talk anymore.

I don't know when, Niu Mantun fell asleep. Just as he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt someone push him. He opened his eyes and saw a dark figure standing in front of the bed. I couldn't see my face clearly, but I could only see a pair of eyes like fire. He was about to scream when the man covered his mouth. The dark shadow said, "Don't make a sound, I'm your father!" ”

Niu Mantun relaxed when he heard this. Niu Bajin withdrew his hand and let Niu Mantun sit up. Niu Mantun said in a low voice: "Dad, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" ”

Niu Bajin didn't answer directly, but went to call the other two people. Niu Mancun woke up quickly, and there was no sound, but Niu Mangu took a long time to be woken up. But at this time, Niu Mantun's sweat came down! Because when he stood up, he found the war knife in the hand of the upside-down father! He knew that it was the knife his father used when he was in the army, and his father would take it out every once in a while to wipe it and maintain it.

When the three brothers were all sober and stood up, Niu Bajin said in a low voice, "Don't make a sound." Follow me. After saying that, he pushed the door and went straight to the opposite wing.

Niu Bajin turned around, and the three brothers all saw the war knife, and they also felt that something was wrong, and they were afraid that something was going to happen! But after years of obedience to Niu Bajin, they still walked out silently.

Walking to the door of the wing, Niu Bajin raised his hand and tried to push the door. The Huang brothers didn't intervene. Niu Bajin knew that these were two brothers staying at the door, and he was afraid that if one of them escaped, he would chase him faster. The hatred in his heart increased by one point! They just want to chase people conveniently, but they don't want to make it convenient for themselves today.

As soon as Niu Bajin flipped his wrist, the backhand knife became a forehand knife, and his left hand pushed the door hard, and the door creaked open. Niu Bajin rushed quickly into the house. I heard a confused question from the room, saying, "Who?" ”

The person who spoke was Huang San, who was struggling to sit up on the bed. Niu Bajin took a big step, and at the same time, the knife in his right hand swept over. That Huang San didn't know what was going on, and his neck was cut. Huang Si, who was sitting up at the same time, saw it clearly, only to see that a large piece of blood mist erupted from Huang San's neck! A "gurgling" sound in the throat! Huang San desperately tried to cover the wound on his neck with his hands, but blood still gushed out from between his fingers!

Huang Si was so frightened that his soul left his body, and just as he was about to shout, Niu Bajin turned around, held the knife in both hands and handed it forward, and the knife was directly poked at the blade of the knife! Then poked directly into Huang Si's chest! Huang Si grabbed the knife with both hands, trying hard to say something? But his lungs were already flooded with blood and he couldn't say anything! After a few moments, he let go of his hand and collapsed on the bed.

Niu Bajin wiped the blood on Huang Si's clothes and turned his head to look at the three brothers. The three brothers were already scared silly standing in the doorway! The three brothers have been honest farmers since they were children, where have they seen this bloody scene? It's just that the three of them leaned on each other and didn't fall, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to stand a long time ago!

Niu Bajin glanced at the three brothers and said, "Go back to their respective rooms and pack up two changes of clothes." Bring water hyacinth, nothing else. ”

The three brothers were still stunned, their eyes fixed on the two corpses on the bed, and they would not move. Niu Bajin kicked him, and the three brothers suddenly fell to the ground and turned into a rolling gourd. Niu Mangu opened his mouth and just wanted to scream, but Niu Mantun hugged him and covered his mouth so that he didn't make a sound.

After a long while, the three brothers walked back to their room tremblingly, pulled their baggage skins and stood in the courtyard with a few clothes in haphazard. This is Niu Bajin who has already packed up and stood in the yard, and the war knife is also hidden in the burden he is carrying.

Niu Bajin said: "I heard the news that this time the new master wants our family to die, so that the county can stand up." By the way, I robbed our house of water and watered the ground! So we can't escape this catastrophe! So we had to escape! Here I divide all the silver and the copper coins into four parts, and take one for each of them. In case you get separated, you can spend money. ”

After speaking, Niu Bajin divided the money in his hand into the three brothers. said, "Follow me." The three brothers stumbled and followed Niu Bajin to the outside of the yard. By this time it was already dark, and the whole village was silent.
