Chapter 7: Catching Fish
His eyes were closed and his eyes were open, the weeds around him were half as tall as they were, the straw mats were tattered, leaning against the cold floor, handcuffs were still hanging in his hands, and there were several iron bars in front of him.
I don't know what crime I have committed, and some people say that mediocre officials are not as good as corrupt officials.
The left and right sides of the face are still swollen and painful, thinking of the dog slave who catches the head, and he is angry! Under the lobby, people have become animals, and animals have become people! It's weird.
The jailer fiddled with the handcuffs in his hand, and next to him was a slightly well-dressed person, and when he got closer, he saw that it was the old father of the scholar before.
When the prison opened, the jailer squinted at Rogan who sat up from the ground, untied the handcuffs for him, cursed in pieces, turned around and left, and the old father respectfully thanked the jailer.
Rogan: "Sir, what are you doing...... I ......"
Rogan got up as he spoke, and the old father helped Rogan with both hands.
Old father: "Luo Langzhong doesn't need to say much, let's go out and talk about it." ”
The old father looked left and right to make sure that there was nothing unusual, and then quickly left the prison with Rogan .
After changing his clothes, Rogan looked less embarrassed, and the old gentleman couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at Rogan like this.
Rogan himself felt embarrassed, thinking that the old father was afraid that he would be disgusted with him.
Rogan: "I want to ask how the gentleman knew that he was in prison?" ”
The old father smiled, and the young man was very polite.
Old father: "The old man is not talented, and now he is just Deng Shilang, a small loose official." It was also sent to Anping County this year, and the grain officer who happened to be transferred with me had heard a little about this Wang County Order. If it weren't for the strange illness of the Sima County Order, the Wang County Order would not have had this opportunity to become more and more rampant. A few days ago, I wanted to visit Luo Langzhong's home, and I learned that Langzhong was in trouble. ”
Luo Gan: "Sir, I was killed by Ling Lang's strange book!" ”
The old father was shocked: "Is this true? ”
Rogan: "The old gentleman may not know, this collection of poems is a little weird, in fact, I don't know what is inside, it turned out to be a wordless book, and then it rained...... It's still water, and the words are revealed, and I'm really wronged. Later, I found out that this book was still a poem, and it was used by traitors, so I threw this unjustified disaster to me. ”
The old father was a little puzzled, Rogan beat his chest like this, but he was not like a person who told lies, the old father was a little worried, and he wanted to say something but stopped. Then he sighed again and again, thought for a while, waved his hands, and made a gesture to kneel.
Old father: "If that's the case, it's really the old man who hurt my husband!" The old man apologized to his husband......"
Seeing that the old father was so sincere, not like a person who deliberately harmed himself, Rogan helped the old father up.
Rogan: "Don't worry about going...... We don't know what this book is all about, and maybe we'll all have to find out the truth. ”
Old man: "The old man will do his best to find out the whereabouts of the book!" In order to repay Mr. for saving the dog. ”
As soon as Rogan heard the scholar, he remembered that he had taught a set of radio gymnastics before, and the crooked beating may have helped the scholar.
Luo Gan: "If you are not talented, it would be good if you could help your son recover." ”
Looking at Luo Gan's sad face, the old gentleman was naturally keenly aware.
Old father: "In this case, the things behind Luo Langzhong will be even more difficult, and it must not be an ordinary thing." ”
Luo Gan said: "Thanks to Mr. for rescue, just send it here." ”
The old father returned the salute and turned to leave, and Rogan suddenly remembered that he still didn't know what the other party's name was, and hurriedly called the old gentleman.
Rogan: "Sir, I don't think about it well, and I don't know what to call him. ”
The old father also suddenly realized that he hadn't told Luo Gan's name until now, and he didn't know who was confused.
Old Father: "Oops! The old man's surname is Liu, and his name is Chengyu. ”
The two of them said goodbye again. Rogan is full of joy and sorrow, and the clues are even more confusing, where is the road ahead?
Luo Gan walked back to the village, and now he was even more clueless, and it still hurt when he touched his cheek, and he couldn't bear to slap himself again to see the clues.
Several peasants, including Erhu and Uncle De, were anxiously discussing something, and their words were so fierce that Rogan thought they were talking about how to rescue him, and rushed over with joy.
Erhu didn't care, and threw the sweat towel on the ground: "Hu! If it's drowned, it's drowned, and we'll just go and say, what can those bastards do with us! ”
Farmer A: "You think grandfathers are so foolish!" If you can say that it is reasonable, there is also the uprising in Daze Township! ”
Several peasants echoed one after another, and the two tigers were about to fight.
Erhu: "I see that you are just underbeaten, cowardly buns!" I want to be a slave to the officials and grandfathers, and I have shaved vegetables for the Dragon King, will I be happy to destroy the field next time? ”
Uncle De stopped both sides: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel!" How to save yourself, now everyone is a worm on a vegetable, and if it is drowned, it will be gone. ”
Luo Gan secretly hid behind Farmer A to surprise everyone, but everyone saw that Luo Gan was only as good as usual.
The second tiger was in a hurry, and it was very unpleasant to see Luo Gan so happy, so he carried Luo Gan in front of him.
Erhu: "What do you say you are laughing at!" Think of a way, the food is gone, how to pay the grain, and now I will give you advice. ”
Farmer A: "If you have any opinions, let's surrender ourselves." ”
Erhu: "Surrender? What did we do wrong? Is it raining heavily or are we guilty? ”
Luo Gan: "This is force majeure, the goods are damaged due to weather conditions, and they are not included in the compensation." ”
This sentence made everyone look at Rogan like a fool.
Uncle De: "If only I didn't have to pay for it." ”
Erhu: "Force majeure? ”
The second tiger grabbed the soil and sprinkled it on Luo Gan's face.
Erhu: "Can't hit the waist?" Can you slap your face? Look at the face of the master? Know how awesome? ”
Luo Gan felt that he was such an uneducated person, and it was even more unreasonable to meet this group of people.
But after all, he has just been released from prison and is in a good mood, so he will save himself at this critical time for the two tigers, so he doesn't care about him.
Rogan: "Okay, okay, listen to your funeral, and there is nothing you can do about it. ”
Farmer A: "Have a trick?" ”
Rogan squatted down, grabbed a twig, gestured on the ground, and talked in a low voice. Everyone also squatted down and listened quietly.
Luo Gan made a circle on the ground: "Well, the current situation is like this, the food is gone." We can't conjure it up, right, if we report the crime, I think we will definitely die, but it is not a way to hide it and drag it out, and in the end it will be death. ”
The second tiger patted Luo Gan's head: "Don't talk nonsense, get to the point." ”
Luo Gan pursed his lips, dissatisfied with Erhu's rough behavior: "You are still angry when you say that the tiger." Uncle De, has the grain officer above been replaced with a new one this year? ”
Uncle De clapped his hands: "Yes!" You're still very well-informed. ”
Luo Gan: "Since the grain official has been replaced, then we can also adjust the grain appropriately this year, and don't waste the vegetables that are planed out for the dragon people." Ready to be used as bait, we went down to the river to catch fish, and it was good to catch something. ”
There was a lot of talk about it, and there was even a way to admit the problem and rebel.
Uncle De had some doubts, but Erhu was very happy.
Erhu: "I think so!" Waiting is death, and I will do it with you. ”
Seeing that the second tiger was so eager to do it, some people supported this initiative one after another.
Luo Gan nodded, waiting for Uncle De's answer, after all, this respected old man is an opinion leader, and only if Uncle De agrees to everything, this is a certainty.
Uncle De: "It's a big crime to hide it, how can we get it?" Is it really right? ”
Rogan: "If disobedience is a big sin, you know it, Uncle De, we don't lie, we're just witty little farmers." ”
Uncle De nodded, and everyone responded.
That night, Rogan gathered everyone to divide the spinach, make it into bait, and go straight to fish the next day.
It was the end of summer, and the weather was starting to cool a little, and a group of farmers carried baskets of vegetables with some vegetables in them.
The fish in the river crossed out of the water lightly and shook their heads wantonly.
Soon after, the cute fish came to the hands of the second tiger, pinched the tail of the fish and threw it at the stone.
Within two strokes, the fish wilted, paralyzed in the strong hands of the two tigers, and the fate of the small fish was a meal on a plate.
After a while, the relatives and friends of the fish will all be together, and the fish will be neat and tidy.
The sun hadn't gone down yet, but the vegetable basket had become a fish basket.
A group of peasants wiped their sweat, put the fish baskets on their backs and walked back.
Erhu took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and approached Luo Gan.
Erhu: "Can it really work?" There's no way back. ”
Rogan: "I'm not good yet, are you?" ”
Erhu looked at Luo Gan like this, but became serious.
Erhu: "When you start small, you have unreliable words written all over your face." ”
When Luo Gan heard this, he felt angry and funny, and he smiled and looked at Erhu with a sneer.
Rogan: "If it's unreliable, then you dare to rebel?" ”
Erhu was silent, and there was really no better way.
Luo Gan patted Erhu on the back: "Just catch fish, whether it's a grain official or a grain pass, I have to deal with it, I really don't want to deal with these officials." ”
From a hippie smile to resentment, with fire in his eyes, Erhu didn't know why, and thought that what he said angered him, and he didn't continue to say more.
