Chapter 11 Beating the Vicious Dog
The sky was white, and there was a dim and uncertain atmosphere, and the morning star gradually rose. In the winter leisure season, every family gets up late, and people nest in the warm quilt and fall asleep.
Two Tsing Yi nursing homes carried the fire oil and rubble urns to the door of the ancestral hall, they looked at each other for a moment, sighed silently, and poured fire oil under the root of the ancestral hall wall, and then, one of them lit the fire and threw it under the wall.
Suddenly, the fire burst out.
A thick puff of smoke drifted through the air along with the raging fire, and the faces of the people who were scorched by the fire were hot, and the two guards planned to retreat outside quickly to avoid provoking the fire.
I only heard the sound of items staggering in the ancestral hall, followed by the painful cry of the child, and the two of them stagnated unconsciously.
"If you want to blame, blame you for offending the village chief, and take revenge in the next life, you go to find Xie Lao Ghost, don't look for me, Amitabha Amitabha." A nursing home muttered in pieces.
Shen Kang took out a handful of snow from the outside of the dog cave, and handed it to Shen Chang with a handkerchief wet with snow water.
Choking on the smoke, he coughed twice: "Second brother, cover your mouth and nose, lean down as much as possible, and squat under the offering table." ”
Shen Chang grabbed Shen Kang's sleeve: "San'er, why are you going!" ”
Shen Kang covered his face with his sleeves, still roasted by the fire: "You watch." With that, he broke free of Shen Chang and bowed to the door.
Smoke was billowing out, and the wooden ancestral hall was vulnerable to such a fire, but in the blink of an eye, it was completely ablaze, and he squatted on the ground with difficulty and shouted outside: "Uncle! Help me! ”
The two nursing homes outside heard Shen Kang's voice, and one shouted, "Shen San! Folks, don't blame your uncle! ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Shen Kang couldn't help coughing a few times, and shouted mournfully: "Uncle, I'm going to be burned to death!" Who exactly made you set the fire! If you don't tell me, I will haunt you as a ghost, pestering you, and ruining your family! ”
The two nurses were already guilty, and when they heard this, their faces turned even pale, and they shouted with each other: "The village chief asked us to do this!" ”
"San'er! Don't blame us! ”
"San'er! If you have a grudge or a grudge to find the village chief, don't look for us, we can't help it! ”
There was no echo inside, and the two guards were in a faint cold sweat, and they didn't know whether they were scared or roasted by the fire, and the two looked at each other sweatingly, and then screamed strangely, and ran away.
The two of them ran to the door and slammed into someone, and the two raised their eyes to see that it was Shen Kang and Shen Chang looking at them with a smile.
"Ah!! What the hell!! ”
The two of them turned pale and ran away, and at this time, the two tall officials quietly blocked their way.
The two glanced at each other, only to feel that the surroundings suddenly lit up, and the golden crow came out of the sheath, illuminating the world at this moment.
A sedan chair with a treasure cover and blue curtain stopped outside the door, and an official opened the sedan curtain, and Xiping County Cheng walked out of the sedan chair. With a long beard in this life, a pair of black and white eyes with a heroic spirit, he looked sideways at Liu Yuan on the side, and said, "Are these two thieves going to kill the villagers?" ”
Liu Yuan bowed slightly, and arched his hand: "Lord Cheng of Hui County, Xie Jing, the head of the village, has occupied the villagers' fertile land for many years, and privately increased taxes. ”
The county man frowned and looked at the two nursing homes, the two of them were already paralyzed with fright, and they knelt down on their knees without the pressure of the officials, and kept bowing, and scrambled in their mouths: "My lord, spare my life!" Spare your life! ”
"Everything is instructed by the old ghost Xie and the old king, the villain is old and young, it's really helpless, beg the adult to spare his life!"
At this time, Shen Chengcai silently pulled the two children to his side, Shen Chang looked at this scene dumbfounded, turned his head and said, "San'er, this is what you said?" ”
Shen Kang nodded slightly, and said, "Second brother, don't blame me for not telling you, you are too straight, I am afraid that you will not be able to hide your face." ”
Shen Chang nodded: "It's okay!" It's better than anything else to be able to catch Old Ghost Xie. After a pause, he added: "San'er is so smart." ”
Shen Kang smiled, and said in a childish voice: "Two uncles, if you can name the place where the village elder hides his belongings, it will be a great credit, maybe the county lord will be lightly punished." ”
The county man squinted at Shen Kang and asked, "What's your name?" ”
Shen Kang arched his hand and leaned over: "Shen Kang." ”
The county thought for a moment, nodded and said, "The child is smart and calm, and the future is immeasurable." ”
Shen Kang smiled and bowed again, neither refuting nor refusing. Secretly thought, he asked his father to beg Liu Yuantong to go to the county for help, but he didn't expect Liu Yuan to be so ungreedy.
The county Cheng looked at the trembling two guards and said, "Do you two know where Xie Jing hides dirt?" ”
"Know!"
One of the guards blurted out, but the other rushed to say: "Old Ghost Xie has a treasure room in his house, the key is on Old Ghost Xie himself, only he can go in, and the villain is willing to lead the way!" ”
Xiping County raised his eyebrows and said: "Lead the way!" After speaking, he turned his head to Liu Yuan and said: "This time, you reported the news to save those two children, and when Xie Jing is captured, this villain will ask the county lord for a reward." ”
Liu Yuan looked at Shen Cheng, but Shen Cheng smiled as always, turning his head to look elsewhere.
Liu Yuan arched his hand, lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "Then thank you Lord County." ”
The county Cheng got on the sedan chair, opened the sedan curtain and said, "Those two children still need to testify in court, don't leave for the time being." "Yes!" The two agreed.
A team of officials escorted the two nursing homes towards the Xie family, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to look at the two children, and said: "There is no danger this time, but next time there is such a thing, you must not risk yourself." ”
Shen Kang Shen Chang nodded in response, and Liu Yuan said, "Okay, you go home and rest for a while, and wait for the summons of the people." ”
When Liu Yuan walked away, Shen Kang habitually raised his hand and twisted his cuffs, looked up at Shen Chengdao: "Dad, I can't go home yet." ”
"Can't go home?"
Shen Kang smiled and showed his eight white teeth, and said, "We have to beat the water dogs, if Xie Jing refuses to obey to death, or if he is clever and eloquent, then we will fall short and suffer endlessly." Dad, you are now going to the house of the respected old man in the village to tell you about tonight's events. ”
He turned to look at Shen Chang and said, "Let's go home and get a wooden basin, beat all over the village, and call the big guys to go to the Xie family to ask for land and food." ”
asked Shen Cheng to talk about tonight's incident in order to find someone to prove it. And he and Shen Chang went to incite the villagers to make trouble in order to expand the situation in case of accidents. In case the two of them are caught by the officials, it will only be childish words, and they will not be able to catch any tricks.
