Chapter XXXIV

The Anti-Japanese War was won, the devils surrendered, and the common people thought that they could live a good life, but unfortunately, there was still no!

Shi Zhu finally avenged his grandfather, and then the Shi family was busy marrying Ji Sien. The three women of Shi Yu's family, Ji Si'en and Luo Er's grandmother are all happy, especially Ji Sien, she has been waiting in the Shi family for almost three years, and finally waited for this day, and Shi Zhu didn't want her to wait any longer.

Getting married is a big deal, Shi Yu specially flipped through the yellow calendar and looked at it, September 16 of next month is a good day. After getting time, Shizhu went to Zhuzhuang's relatives' house first and informed him from door to door.

At this moment, Zhu Guanglian finally really did his own business again, and he didn't have to look at the faces of the Japanese and Ergouzi, so he intended to let Shi Zhu come to the firm to help, but Shi Zhu had been in the vinegar factory for many years, and he couldn't make a choice for a while, so he only said that he would talk about it later.

Subsequently, before sending wedding cards to the people in the vinegar factory and inviting them to drink the wedding wine, Shi Zhu decided to go to Xinpu to find Zhou Xiang first. Although he and Zhou Xiang had a slight dislike for Liu Fulong, after all, they were old friends for many years, and there was a reason for it, so this could not affect the friendship between them at all, and Zhou Xiang had long been clamoring for a happy wine with Shizhu.

Seeing the stone pillar coming, Zhou Xiang was naturally very happy in his heart, but at this moment the domestic situation has changed, although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party maintain cooperative relations on the surface, in fact, Chiang Kai-shek is secretly trying in every possible way to eliminate the Communist army. Zhou Xiang's identity as a communist had been exposed, and he could no longer stay in Haizhou to carry out underground work, so for security reasons, the organization decided to transfer him to Shandong to continue the work of mobilizing the masses.

"Brother Shi, you can invite me to drink the wedding wine, I am really happy to see that a lover is finally married! It's a pity that in view of the needs of work, I have to go to work in other places during the Double Ninth Festival, and I can't go to the banquet on the 16th, I'm really sorry! However, although I can't be there to congratulate me, I will ask someone to send a small gift on my behalf, and I hope that you will be Haihan, brother! ”

"Brother Zhou, you are polite, we have been friends for many years, of course I can understand you, after all, your current work is more important, you and I will always meet again, then we will have a few more drinks, and we will rest when we get drunk!" After that, Shi Zhu said goodbye and returned, he felt that this parting would not be too long, at most it would be a year or two, but he and Zhou Xiang definitely couldn't imagine that this parting would be thirty-two years.

Back at the vinegar factory, Shi Zhu informed his colleagues of the good news, and everyone congratulated Shi Zhu. But a day later, Shi Zhu ran into trouble again - Shen Lin'er heard that Shi Zhu was going to get married, so she broke into the office directly and asked Shi Zhu: "Brother Zhuzi, I heard that you are going to marry the surnamed Ji this month?" ”

"Yes, the date is set, what's wrong?"

Shen Lin'er said confidently: "I said everything, I will marry you in this life, why do you want to marry someone else?" ”

"It's just a casual remark you uttered at the time, when you were a child, and you don't have to take it seriously. Besides, with such good conditions as you, what kind of bad thing to find! ”

"I'm serious, I just like you, and I'm not uncommon to anyone else! Do you remember that I told you, 'If you dare to marry another woman, I will die for you'? I'll ask you a question, will you marry her or me? ”

Shi Zhu's answer was naturally very clear, but he was worried that Shen Lin'er would really do something stupid, so he said in a reassuring tone: "Shen Lin'er, I have been married to her since I was a child, and it was not easy for people to come to Haizhou after nine deaths, and I made people wait for almost three years, so I can't live up to them!" You have to be trustworthy, otherwise you will let me be a person in the future? Now that the date of marriage is set, I will naturally marry her! You're just used to staying in a big family, and you're a little willful, wait for a while, and you'll be fine! ”

Unexpectedly, Shen Lin'er said: "Brother Zhuzi, this thing can't be better!" You've made me wait for six years, why don't you say that? ”

"So which one, the two of us have known each other for a long time, but when we are together, we are like friends, it's not a matter of who waits for whom!"

"Anyway, I don't care, if you dare to marry someone else, I'll die to show you!" After that, Shen Lin'er walked out, and Shi Zhu thought that this matter was over, but then it became more and more out of control.

A few days later, someone suddenly told Shi Zhu that Shen Lin'er was going to hang herself, but thanks to the maid at home who found it in time and saved her, the person was fine, and she is still checking in the hospital!

When Master Wang heard about this, he hurried to the hospital to see his granddaughter, and said distressed and angry: "Lin'er, what are you doing at this time!" Why are you looking for death and life? The stone pillar has already set a baby kiss, and he did the right thing. Don't do stupid things anymore, if you have three long and two short, how can I live as a bad old man! Another day, how about we find you a good home? ”

Shen Lin'er didn't appreciate it, and said: "Uncle Dad, I like Brother Zhuzi, it's useless for anyone to persuade me!" As soon as she got out of the hospital, Shen Lin'er went directly to Shizhu again: "Brother Zhuzi, let me ask you again, do you marry me or not?" ”

Shi Zhu said helplessly: "My Miss Shen, you were born in a rich family, we are not in the right household, please stop making fun of me, a poor person, okay?!" Do you think I look like the kind of person who doesn't talk about his credibility and goes around all his ways? I just want to live my own little life! ”

"Since you are so ruthless, then I will make you guilty for the rest of your life!"

Shi Zhu didn't know what kind of mentality Shen Lin'er was holding when he said this, but he felt a little inexplicable, but the next day he heard a bigger bad news - Shen Lin'er actually arrived at the junction of the Salt River and the Daxin River and jumped down!

When Shen Lin'er threw herself into the river, a passing fishing boat saw it, and quickly rowed over to rescue the person, but it was still a step too late, and there was no heartbeat and breathing when she was rescued, but the fisherman was experienced, and he pressed his stomach and blew, and then Shen Lin'er actually gasped again, but he was still in a coma. After the Shen family and the Wang family came, they were quickly sent to the hospital, and their fate was saved, but the doctor only said: I don't know when I will wake up, even if I wake up, it is estimated that people will become demented!

When Shi Zhu ran to the hospital, he met Mrs. Shen crying bitterly beside the bed, and when she saw Shi Zhu coming, she scolded: "You have a bad conscience, it's all you, you hurt my daughter like this, how can you still have a face?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Zhu felt all kinds of grievances in his heart, but he didn't squeak, after all, Mrs. Shen's emotions were out of control at the moment.

At this time, Master Wang said with a little reproach: "Liangyu, what are you doing to blame other people's pillars?" He can't be blamed for that! Lin'er has been stubborn since she was a child, but who knew that she would be so short-sighted! The "Liangyu" in Master Shen's mouth is Mrs. Shen Wang Liangyu, she said, "Dad, if he hadn't come to the factory, my family would not have fallen into such a field!" ”

"Nonsense! The pillar was invited by me, and how much he has done for our factory over the years! Do you mean that everything is my fault? With that, Master Wang threw the crutches in his hand to the ground and turned his face away.

Seeing that her father was really angry, Mrs. Shen didn't speak anymore, and turned her head to cry again, while Shen Liyan comforted her.

Shi Zhu walked out of the ward silently, with mixed feelings in his heart, although Shen Lin'er couldn't be blamed for throwing herself into the river, but after all, it still had something to do with herself, and seeing Shen Lin'er become like this, she was really uncomfortable. Although Master Wang was facing himself just now, he could still see a little complaint from his demeanor.

After thinking about it and having trouble sleeping all night, Shizhu finally decided to quit.

Early the next morning, Shi Zhu went to Wang's Mansion to find Master Wang and explain his intentions. Master Wang was grateful to Shi Zhu for his help to the vinegar factory in the past few years, so he naturally tried his best to save it, but Shi Zhu still said: "Master Wang, I am very sad about Shen Lin'er's matter!" Master Wang, you are kind-hearted and don't blame me for this, but I know that if I continue to stay, you will definitely think of this sad thing when you see me, and I can't bear to see you sad, so I ......"

Master Wang knew that Shizhu had made up his mind, so he lowered his head, waved his hand to him lightly, and said, "Go, go!" ”

Before leaving, Shizhu knelt on the ground, put his hands on the ground, and kowtowed to Master Wang, in order to thank the Wang family for taking care of him for several years, and stood up for a long time. After quitting his job, Shi Zhu suddenly felt relaxed, not feeling lost, and a new life may be beckoning to him.

On the 16th day of September, it was the day of the great joy of the stone pillar, Shi Yu was busy for a lot of days, and the east head room was cleaned up beautifully, as the new house of his grandson, the house and the outside of the house were plastered with brand-new wedding couplets and all kinds of double happiness, these wedding couplets were powerful, flexible and stretched, and they were all asked for by Shizhu with red paper from Zhang Banxian.

On the first night of the wedding, the Shi family invited Zhang Banxian's grandson Da Mao to press the bed, and the new set of red and blue dragon and phoenix Chengxiang quilts were particularly comfortable to cover.

Early the next morning, the Shi family and Luo's second grandmother's family were even busier, but the two families were separated by a few steps, and they were not panicked, so they discussed that they would go to Luo's second grandmother's house to pick up the bride after relatives and friends arrived at the halfway point, in order to make it more lively.

When it was almost ten o'clock, Zhuzhuang's relatives arrived one after another, and then, the people from the Banpu vinegar factory a little farther away also arrived, they were led by Master Wang and Mr. Shi, and most of them were people who had a good relationship with Shizhu on weekdays. Master Wang was old and rarely went out, so he didn't show up in person, but he specially asked Master Wang to bring a brand-new bicycle and give it to Shizhu as a gift.

The groom Shizhu originally planned to go to Luo's second grandmother's house to carry the bride back directly, but this time Master Wang gave him a bicycle, just right, hang a big red flower, and simply decorate it, and the bicycle will become a wedding car, which has a lot of face. Because of this, for many years after that, Shizhu has always regarded this car as a treasure.

Needless to say, the etiquette of the wedding is needless to say, this time Zhu Guanglian gave Shizhu a lot of money, wanting his nephew to make the wedding grander, but Shizhu is not the kind of person who loves to be in the limelight, and there are many ordinary people's homes around, and the wedding has never been luxurious, so Shizhu followed the trend, except for spending more thought on his daughter-in-law Ji Sien, everything else is simple.

On this day, the bride Ji Sien is naturally exceptionally beautiful.

Because Luo's second grandmother invited all the real relatives, the number was quite small, so she and the Shi family did not pay attention to so many rules, discussed in advance, and when it was time to drink the wedding wine at noon, all the guests were arranged in the Shi family, anyway, they were all villagers in the village, and they were more lively together.

Today, Shizhu also specially invited Zhang Banxian to come, not only to thank him for his help but also out of respect for him, just by virtue of Zhang Banxian's righteous and awe-inspiring words when facing the coercion and temptation of the Japanese, he is worthy of the admiration of everyone in the village. And Zhang Banxian would unbutton it from time to time, show the village children the scar left by the Japanese back then, and jokingly said that he couldn't "forget the pain after the scar is good".

After the banquet, Shi Zhu talked with Zhang Banxian for a while, and he asked: "Mr. Zhang, I remember that you always said that we ordinary people are going to live a good life, but now that the Japanese have surrendered, the foreigners dare not come back casually, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have also signed a 'peace agreement', why didn't you say it again?" ”

At this time, Zhang Banxian said with a little drunkenness: "Pillar, it's not that I don't say it, it's just that the people want to live a good life, and the country must be stable, but I see that the trend of the world is not peaceful, and it is not time yet!" ”

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by that?"

"Zhuzi, you are also a person who has studied, you should know the truth of 'the general trend of the world, and you will be together for a long time', throughout my thousands of years of China, Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, the Sui Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Song Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, all of which are the same, this is the so-called 'great unification', to put it mildly, it is 'one mountain does not allow two tigers', 'next to the couch, how can others be allowed to snore'! Take our Guanyun as an example, this is the case now - there is the Yangzhong Communist County Government in the south, and the Kuomintang Banpu County Government in the north, don't look at the fact that we are still under the rule of the Communist Party, but I can see that the Kuomintang only considers its own interests, it absolutely cannot tolerate the Communist Party, and a war between the two parties is inevitable! ”

After hearing this, Shi Zhu asked again: "Then, according to Mr. Shi's opinion, who killed the deer?" ”

Zhang Banxian touched his half-white goatee and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, although there are 'those who win the hearts of the people win the world', there are also 'those who are warlike will perish', but there are also times when the belligerent people are strong, and they can be annihilated not for a while. When this battle will start and how long it will last, I am only a little learned, and I don't know. If I were to be elected now, I would not have elected the Kuomintang again, because the Nationalist Government had long forgotten Mr. Zhongshan's teachings and had lost the hearts of the people. ”

Zhang Banxian's words were quite similar to what Shi Zhu thought, and after the two chatted for a while, Shi Zhu went to greet the others.

In the afternoon, several cousins from Zhu Zhuang Zhu Huaiqing, Zhu Huailu, Zhu Huaigeng, Zhu Huaiyu, together with Luo Erqi and Luo Shilin, the eldest son of the Luo family, went to the new house to make a fuss, and then, all relatives and friends went back one after another.

Before Zhu Guanglian left, he came to talk to Shi Zhu again, hoping that Shi Zhu could go to the port to work in the trading house again, but Shi Zhu thought about it again and again, what he expected at present was just to be a farmer and help several large families in the village to do long-term or short-term work, as long as he could make a living, he didn't want to work in other places, so he still replied to Zhu Guanglian's sentence - wait for later.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Shi Yu's invited Luo Erfang's father Luo Laosi and Zhang Banxian's youngest son Zhang Youhua to send a couple to a room, followed by a rush of firecrackers.

On the second day of the wedding, Shi Yu took the cigarette pouch that the old stone smoked to the stone pillar, and it didn't work for now, and now the stone pillar has become a home, so take this cigarette pouch as a family heirloom, and this home will be handed over to the stone pillar in the future.

More than a month later, Ji's became pregnant, which made Shi Yu's family happy, isn't it this happy event that she is looking forward to!

On the day of the "summer vacation" in the second year, Ji's gave birth to a girl, which made Shizhu very happy, and he was reluctant to put it down in his arms. Shi Yu's family is sixty and six at this time, but his body is still strong, and he is still busy happily, this scene also reminds her of the scene when Shi Zhu was born, twenty-five years have passed, his grandson has become a father, and the Shi family has finally ushered in a new life.

In Shi Yu's memory, her great-granddaughter should be the second female baby of the Shi family in the past ninety years, the last one was Lao Shi's aunt, and she was born in the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. As for where this aunt married, she couldn't remember it for a long time.

At this time, Ji Shi took his daughter from Shizhu's hand, and said to him while breastfeeding: "Heda, you can name the child!" Shi Zhu looked at the mother and daughter, hesitated for a moment, "This is the first small mustache in our family, I think, you should give her a name." ”

Ji knew that her husband Shizhu valued her status in this family, but he didn't know much words, so he smiled and said: "You see you are laughing again, I have been studying for a few days, or my father said that I want to marry into your family, I can't be illiterate, so I went to school for a few years, I can write a few words, if you want to talk about the name, how can I have that level!" ”

After drinking the milk, Shi Zhu hugged his daughter again, he couldn't put it down, he thought about it, and asked Shi Yu first: "My grandmother, do you know the genealogy of our Shi family?" ”

"Genealogy?" Shi Yu's face was embarrassed, and after thinking for a long time, he frowned and said: "I remember listening to your father say that it seems to be 'Wan Fu Jiu Cheng Rui Shu Xiao Jinwen', and you are in the 'Rui' character." However, our Shi family started beating your father, and five generations up to the top were snake catchers, and it was only when you changed your career. Snake catchers are a little taboo, can only leave a bloodline, to you is already five generations of single transmission, and you can't pay attention to so many rules, so several generations have not been named on the family tree, only your father, changed the name of 'long' to 'nine'. ”

After hearing this, Shi Zhu said: "Since the family tree has some doubts and it is not easy to continue, then let's start according to our own ideas, okay?" ”

Shi Yushi said: "Zhuzi, the day after you got married, I handed over your father's cigarette pouch to you, that is, I handed over this family to you, you can decide the family affairs, I really don't know, ask me again." Your girl's name is just a good thing to discuss with Sien! ”

"Then it's not a family tree! My name 'pillar' word five elements belong to wood, wood makes fire and overcomes the earth, and the name of the small wat is used next to the word fire. When this girl came to the house, everyone was happy, and I hope she can be happy in the future, so the name will take the word "fire" and add the word "music", called Shi Shuo, that is, the word "Shuo" that flashes. ”

The name is naturally undisputed.

However, the word "happiness" seems to be far away, as Zhang Banxian said, the Kuomintang has long torn up the "peace agreement" and openly provoked a civil war, China has fallen into turmoil again, and this war has also changed the fate of many people.

To add insult to injury, the torrential rains in the summer of this year brought the waters of the Huai River and the Yellow River together, and the Haizhou area also suffered unprecedented floods. Although people from all walks of life have given relief, ordinary people still lack food and clothing, and the landlord's family has also suffered heavy losses. At this time, many hungry villagers wanted to borrow some grain from the landlord's house, and there were even calls for the landlord's house to open a warehouse to release grain, and more people asked the landlord to respond to the call of the Communist Party and distribute the land to the common people.

Of course, the landlords' families would not agree to these demands, which further sharpened the contradictions between them and the peasants, who were afraid of the starvation and the people's livelihood, so they set up a so-called "security team" alone or three or five families to protect their own safety.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the devils in Haizhou were cowering in the city for several years, and villages like Guwei were the world of the Communist Party, and they often came here to propagate anti-Japanese ideas and help the common people, and they had a good mass base. At that time, in order to unite with the outside world, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army only advocated that landlords reduce rents and interest and peasants pay rent and interest, but now it is rumored that the Communist Party advocates that "the tiller has his land" and that all land should be distributed equally to the common people, and the people who responded to the call of the Communist Party were incalculable.

Although the disaster in Guwei Village was not so serious, the Ding and Liu families and several large families were still afraid that the villagers would make trouble, so they also discussed setting up a "security team" of more than a dozen people collectively just in case.

Master Liu has not been in contact with Master Ding for several years because of the Ding family's withdrawal of his daughter Liu Shanxiu and Ding Facai's family affairs, but this time it is a matter of life and death for his family, so he has to temporarily release his previous suspicions and go to Ding's house to sit down with everyone to discuss this matter. In front of life and death, what is this little thing about my daughter!

It is easy to find a dozen strong people to take care of the home, but it is difficult to find a reliable and capable "security team" captain, and several families fell into disagreements for a while.

At this time, Master Ding said: "What do you think of the stone pillars on the village? ”

Yang Dahu said with a little reservation: "This person is reliable, and I heard that he also has some skills, but I don't know if he will come to the 'security team'." ”

Master Liu took two puffs of dry tobacco, and said in a cloud of smoke: "That kid from the pillar, I think he can be trusted, and he does have some skills to keep us safe." I think that whether he agrees or not, it is better to go and find out his tone first. ”

"That's okay, I'll go to his house to have a look!" Master Ding is the largest landlord in Guwei, so he naturally has to be active in this matter.

Next, several families discussed the armed configuration of the "security team", where to live, how to pay for it, how to share the expenses, how to perform duties, how to patrol, and other issues, all of which were easy to solve.

The next day, Master Ding really took the old housekeeper Ding Dali to Shizhu's house in person. At this time, Ji's had not yet come out of confinement, Shi Yu's had been taking care of him at home, and Shi Zhu was holding his daughter Shi Shuo to play at the door.

Old Man Ding is here, but if it weren't for the time of employing people, he didn't want to stay in the poor man's house in his eyes for even a minute longer, lest he be stained with poverty and bad luck, so he didn't even enter the hall, but only explained his intention to the stone pillar in the courtyard, hoping that the stone pillar could help everyone in this difficult period, of course, he may be thankful.

"Master Ding, this matter is very important, you see that I am now old and young, I am afraid that I will not be able to accept it for a while, I have to discuss with the family and give you a reply as soon as possible!"

Shi Zhu said this, it is true that part of it is due to family reasons, but the main thing is that the flood has had little impact on his family, and with his ancestral snake catching skills, he can easily catch some snakes when food is scarce, so it is not uncommon for such errands to be done. On the other hand, in the final analysis, the so-called "security team" is to deal with the poor, and of course Shizhu will not offend the more difficult villagers in the village, after all, he still has to live here, and it is difficult to move away if he wants to.

"Well, yes, Pillar, this matter really needs to be thought about!" Master Ding also expected that Shi Zhu would not agree immediately, "Back then, your father and you helped our Ding family a lot in the field, this time I will ask you, our Ding family will not treat you badly, wait for your good news!" ”

After returning home, Master Ding immediately instructed his subordinates to prepare bath water, to wash away the poor gas brought from the poor family, and to change all the clothes on his body, from the inside to the outside, he originally wanted to throw it away, but he looked at the newly bought plush windbreaker, it was really a bit expensive, and he was reluctant, so he ordered his subordinates to wash all the clothes.

Shi Zhu also discussed this matter with Ji and Shi Yu at home, Shi Yu said: "Zhuzi, we can't do this, if this 'security team' was to deal with the little devils back then, I would support you, but it is clearly against our poor people, if you agree, it is equivalent to going against the whole village, and you must not go!" ”

Ji Shi also said: "Yes, heda, he has to be scolded and laughed at for doing this, and I don't agree!" ”

Shi Zhu thought about it again, and Fang said: "Okay, I know this matter in my heart, but since the Ding family has come to me, I have to give him a face, just take this opportunity to do something, you just wait and see!" ”

On the day of the autumn equinox, Shizhu went to Master Ding's house and caught up with Master Ding playing mahjong in the hall. When Master Ding saw that the stone pillar was coming, he hurriedly asked someone to replace him, went out and took the stone pillar to the side room and sat down.

"Master Ding, I have thought about the matter you mentioned the day before yesterday, as long as you agree to give some food to the most needy families, and are willing to sell some food to other families at a low price, I can guarantee your safety!" Shi Zhu said straight to the point.

Master Ding filled his pipe with tobacco, lit it with a foreign fire, and took a deep breath as if thoughtfully, Fang said: "Zhuzi, it's great that you can come to help us this time, but I'm afraid it's not easy to do this matter of releasing relief food!" ”

Shi Zhu said: "Master Ding, in the past, when we encountered a famine, didn't you often help us, why can't you do it this year?" ”

"Don't you know, this year's floods are so bad that we have all suffered heavy losses, and we don't have much food to store. There are more than 200 households in Guwei, if it happens, I am afraid they will not be able to do it next year. The worst thing is that I heard that the national army is still coming to collect grain, if we pay less, I am afraid that a catastrophe will come! After speaking, Master Ding kept shaking his head.

"Master Ding, that's all I have to say, do you want to decide or not!" After Shi Zhu finished speaking, he took his leave, leaving Master Ding alone and smoking there, and forgot to ask his subordinates to take the bench that Shi Zhu had just sat on to wash.

Two days later, on the evening of the first day of the ninth lunar month, Ding Dali suddenly arrived at Shizhu's house and informed Shizhu that Master Ding had discussed with several other families and agreed to temporarily release some relief grain, but half of the relief grain had to be repaid by each family, and it must be paid off after the summer harvest next year, and it could be deducted without interest or with labor.

Shi Zhu already had their own considerations, and it was already rare for them to agree to such a plan, and Shi Zhu agreed at that time.

Soon after, the old men gathered the relief grain to Master Liu's house, and distributed fine grain according to the roster of each family: 80 catties for those who are 18 catties, 60 catties for those who are 12 years old, 40 catties for those who are 6 years old, and 20 catties for each of the rest; Coarse grains such as yam and ground eggs are distributed as appropriate.

At this time, Master Ding said to Shizhu: "Look, this grain has been distributed, you should also come to our 'security team', right?" ”

Shi Zhu said: "Master Ding, let me ask you first, did you set up a 'security team' to prevent our people from coming to your house to make trouble and ask for food?" ”

"Of course, that's the main purpose!"

"That's easy to do, now that every family has food and can survive the disaster year, who will come to your house to make trouble! Do you still need me to go to the 'security team'?! ”

Master Ding realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Didn't you say that you would agree to come to the 'security team' after putting relief food?" ”

Shi Zhu smiled and said, "I didn't say that! I'm just saying I'll keep you safe! ”

"You, you, even ......" Master Ding was so angry that he couldn't speak, and sat down on the chair.

At this time, Shizhu said to the villagers who received the grain: "Tell me, big guy, the old man has sent us relief food, can we still think about going to their house to make trouble?" ”

"Then you can't go, isn't that revenge!"

"Yes, now that there is food, we can survive the disaster year, who is going to make trouble!"

Everyone expressed their opinions, and the stone pillars and the old men also listened to it. Then, Shi Zhu said: "Well, since everyone said so, several masters are our benefactors, whoever goes to their house to make trouble this year because of food, don't blame me for being unkind, I will not let him go first!" ”

At this time, many people in the crowd shouted: "Pillar, I heard that the grain is due to you, and you are also our benefactor, you have said so, we will naturally promise you, rest assured!" ”

Hearing these words, Shi Zhu said to the few masters present: "Look, if you release the relief food, you don't have to worry about anyone making trouble, and you don't need to set up that 'security team' anymore, how much money has been saved for you, isn't it a lot of money!" If anyone dares to mess around, I will be the first to spare him, and I will absolutely guarantee your safety! ”。

Master Ding, Master Liu and the others were all furious, but what could they do with the stone pillars! They didn't dare to stop when they were halfway through the grain, and this time they were dumb and lost, so they had to swallow the bitter fruit for the time being.

But how can this be so easy to finish? More than a year later, the stone pillar finally did not escape the calculations of several masters.
