Chapter Seventy-Five: A Closer Look at the People's Situation (Part II)
Poor families have few belongings, thin people, and small stoves. Seeing Meng Mancang carrying a large bag of new wheat into the door, and then looking at the group of chestnuts sitting in the courtyard and Mo Tianliu, especially the burly Sha Bangcui, Wang Laozhuan turned his head to look at the small stove in his house, and could only find stones from Mo Tianliu and build a seven-star stove in the courtyard.
Rolled up his sleeves, turned his wheel like a child's toy, brought up a few buckets of water from the well in the yard to wash the cauldron of Wang Lao's house, and then added half a pot of water and sat on the big stove. Without waiting for the ripples of water in the cauldron to stop for a moment, Sha Bangcui had already rolled up his sleeves and stood next to the grinding plate, pushing the grinding bar lightly with one hand, and holding a dustpan full of wheat grains with the other hand, he slowly poured it into the grinding eye......
Moved a wooden pimple used as a bench, Mo Tianliu couldn't help but pull Wang Laozhuan to sit opposite the chestnut group, and he also found a wooden pimple to sit next to Wang Laozhuan, and then smiled at Wang Laozhuan: "Brother Laozhuan, we didn't understand what you said just now—why are you planning to give up your body and life to exchange this life-saving food for the family?" Where did this come from? ”
Turning his head to look at his daughter-in-law who was holding the two children and probing her brain behind the door with a frightened look, Wang Laozhuan sighed heavily: "This word has been spread all over the neighborhood, why do you still ask me?" Tianliu, I really didn't know you were also in the dreadlocks...... For the sake of the two of us, we also have some dealings, can we leave an extra mouthful of food for the family? ”
Glancing at the group of chestnuts sitting opposite him, Mo Tianliu shouted in surprise: "Brother Lao, it's true that I joined the team of the Eighth Route Army Martial Arts Team, but when did our Eighth Route Army Martial Arts Team never say that we would exchange food for people to join?" I said Brother Lao, let's not talk about it alone. Let me ask you first - a few days ago, someone sent food to their hometowns in the middle of the night, did your family get it? ”
Nodding subconsciously, Wang Laozhuan raised his hand and pointed to his daughter-in-law and children who were dodging behind the door of his house: "I can recognize it, it is by relying on that little black bean soup that the first few people in the family can survive until today......"
"Then did anyone come to the village last night to spread the word and ask the villagers to follow them to the outside of Qingle County to transport grain?"
"Yes, too! But who would dare to go......"
"Why don't you dare?"
"These ten miles and eight towns have been spread all over, saying that you are all outsiders, and you just came to the ground in southern Hebei to occupy the tea bowl village in Tieping Mountain, and also killed the original head of the tea bowl village. The people in Tujia Village borrowed your people and guns to beat away the Japanese in Qingle County, and now the entire Tujia Village has called the brigade in your locks to occupy it! Whoever wants to get food out of your hands will have to go into your hands and carry your guns and die! Otherwise...... Take a bite, return a bucket, take a liter, pay a burden! Those who have food will return food, and those who have no household goods will fill their lives......"
Looking at Wang Laozhuan's convincing appearance with a smile and laughter, Mo Tianliu couldn't help but sigh and exclaimed, "Where did this come from?" It is said that all over the country is spreading, but where is the root of the word? Brother Bolt, do you know? ”
Shaking his head blankly, Wang Lao Shuo shouted in a muffled voice: "Where do I know where to go?" Anyway...... Ten miles and eight towns, all spread like this! also said that if you don't want to be targeted by your dreadlocks to return food, then you have to worship the Aquarius Niangniang. Protected by the talisman that can be drawn by the treasure bottle, you people with dreadlocks also have to give three points of face, and they don't dare to come to the door......"
Halfway through the words, Wang Laozhuan realized that the people and horses of the tea bowl village he said had already sat in his yard, and couldn't help but bow his head and sigh: "The way of this world ...... If you go to bed today, you don't know if you will wake up tomorrow? Anyway, I'll eat the food, and I'll go with you in a while. I only hope that you will be trustworthy in your words and can leave the food that should be given to my family...... This meal can't be considered a wow......"
Always listening carefully to the conversation between Wang Laozhuan and Mo Tianliu, the chestnut group suddenly answered Wang Laozhuan's words at this time: "Brother Laozhuan, it is really not easy to find the origin of the words that have been passed down from ten miles and eight towns. But this talk, listen, there is always someone who speaks to you, right? Where did you hear that? ”
As if there was a lack of a door in his mouth when he was in a hurry, Wang Laozhuan subconsciously raised his hand and pointed to the courtyard next door: "I listened to the second dog next door......
Standing up quickly, Mo Tianliu didn't wait for the chestnut group to speak again, and had already whispered to the chestnut group: "Big boss, I also know Wang Ergou who lives next door, I'm going to find him?" ”
Nodding slightly, the chestnut group responded in harmony: "It's okay!" Invite Wang Ergou, who lives next door, to come over, but be polite to others, don't scare other people! ”
With a promise, Mo Tianliu walked out of the courtyard gate quickly. In the blink of an eye, in the courtyard not far from the next door, Wang Ergou's frightened cry had already sounded: "Brother Tianliu...... Big Brother Tianliu...... I don't know anything...... I have a stomachache..... Ah...... Don't copy the guy, I'll go with you..... I'll go with you......"
With this shouting and screaming, Wang Ergou, who was holding his ears by Mo Tianliu, stumbled all the way into the courtyard of Wang Laozhuan's house. Only then did Mo Tianliu let go of the fingers pinched on his ears, and Wang Ergou, who had a bitter face, didn't wait to stand firm, and had already jumped to shout at Wang Laozhuan who was sitting in the courtyard: "Okay, you Wang Laoshuo!" You didn't think about me for this good thing, but you were the first one to think about me when you were unlucky?! I'm going to make you miserable......."
Mo Tianliu, who squeezed his eyes towards the group of chestnuts and grabbed his 20-shot pistol in his hand, didn't wait for Wang Ergou to take out a full set of tricks, and had already shouted at Wang Ergou in a cold voice: "Wang Ergou, clean up your tricks of going to the rivers and lakes!" If you dare to pretend to be stupid again...... See me mallet brother? He can grind your grinding eyes with wheat, and boil meat noodle soup ready-made! ”
Turning his head to look at Sha Bangcui, who was spinning the stone mill like a coiled wheat straw, Wang Ergou, who was already a little thin, suddenly shrank his neck and closed his mouth......
Holding the barrel of the twenty-shot pistol in his hand and gently tapping it on the back of Wang Ergou's head, Mo Tianliu shouted in a pretentious voice: "Wang Ergou, what are you passing on in Wangjiagou...... The dreadlocks of Chawanzhai want to exchange food for people and carry guns? Take a bite, return a bucket, take a liter, pay a burden! Those who have food return food, and those who have no belongings fill their lives? ”
With a stirring spirit all over his body, Wang Ergou suddenly shook his head like a rattle: "There is no such thing!" Which maggot chewing mouth is this framing me Wang Ergou? Sue this black ...... He doesn't want to die......."
Hehe, he laughed twice, Mo Tianliu put his hands behind his back, and slowly turned to Wang Ergou's eyes: "Ergouzi, you are so capable?" In front of our big bosses, you still dare to pretend to be stupid with the number of rivers and lakes that pinch out your hob meat? Yes...... If you have the ability, you will have a hard mouth, I will see how long you can be hard-mouthed! Bang mallet, come and clean up these two dogs, let's drink meat noodle soup today! ”
Blinking a pair of copper bell-like eyes, Sha Bangcui exclaimed in a very humble voice: "This...... Such a big person, but he can't stuff it into grinding eyes? ”
“...... Just say you're stupid, aren't you? You're not going to chop off his arms and legs or stuff them slowly? Hurry up, I've been busy all night, and I've already sung the empty city plan in my stomach......"
Seeing that Sha Bangcui agreed in a muffled voice, put down the dustpan in his hand and hit him, Wang Ergou suddenly screamed in fright: "This is really nothing to do with me...... I've heard people say that......"
grabbed Wang Ergou's neck and collar, and Mo Tianliu unceremoniously put the barrel of the Dezao twenty-shot pistol on Wang Ergou's eyebrows: "Listen to someone? Who do you listen to? ”
Feeling the cold and hard of the barrel at the center of his eyebrows, Wang Ergou was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he shouted in his throat without thinking: "It's Chen Defu...... Chen Teifu of Panma Village! ”
"Chen Defu from Panma Village? Wangjiagou is more than 20 miles away from Panma Village, you have nothing to do to go to Panma Village to listen to people's nonsense? Still come back 1510 to fight with the villagers in Wangjiagou? ”
"I'm a relative of Shangpan Mazhai...... That's when I heard something from Teifu Chen......"
"What relatives do you have in Panma Village? What is your relative's surname and name? Where do you live in Panma Village? ”
"It's my in-law's second uncle in Panma Village, whose big name is Wei Jiujin, and his family lives in Panma Village......."
Before Wang Ergou finished speaking, Mo Tianliu had already shouted: "Fart!" All the people living in Panma Village are people with the surname Chen, and there has never been a surname! You said your second uncle's surname is Wei? Is he in the Panma Village Chen family? ”
Suddenly breaking the hammer of the twenty-shot pistol made by Dezao, Mo Tianliu's eyes widened, and he shouted at Wang Ergou, who was trembling all over: "It's all dying, and you dare to mess around in front of me?!" What benefits did Chen Defu promise you to let you help him gossip in Wangjiagou like this? ”
"Not really......"
"The Eighteen States of Avenger Illumination!"
"Thousands of good people believe in the true God...... Brother Tianliu, you are also my Aquarius Society......"
As soon as the words came out, Wang Ergou's face had turned into a disastrous look of defeat, and he cried out with a sad face: "Brother Tianliu, I ...... I can't help it! I'm carrying the merchant to the village, and I don't have a dock to protect me, so I'm scared...... I won't dare next time...... You're going to spare me......"
Pouting very proudly, Mo Tianliu shouted unceremoniously at Wang Ergou: "When did you believe in the treasure bottle?" ”
"I've believed it for a long time....."
"What kind of character is Teifu Chen in the Aquarius Club?"
"Fifth Brother ...... Rocking Row"
"Why do you want to spread the gossip of our Eighth Route Army's martial arts team? Why scare the folks?! ”
"It's ....... Brother Tianliu, you can spare me...... The Aquarius Lady drove down 3,000 divine soldiers and 900 yellow turban wrestlers, and listened to it...... If they knew that I had exposed the roots of the Aquarius Society, they wouldn't be able to spare me......"
Raising his hand and pointing at Sha Bangcui who was standing next to the grinding plate, Mo Tianliu shouted coldly: "Is there a treasure vase with three thousand divine soldiers and nine hundred yellow turban wrestlers, and there are two more to say, there are yellow turban wrestlers from my Eighth Route Army martial arts team in front of you!" Don't tell the truth again...... Mallet, tear him for me! ”
"Don't ...... I said......."
