Chapter Forty-Seven: What Should Come Will Come
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but want to laugh every time he saw Uncle Wang, this white-bearded old man looked too much like an old naughty boy. Crossing over to Daming and meeting an old naughty boy is really a pleasure to say.
But today Zhou Zhi obviously couldn't laugh, and saw Uncle Wang's solemn face, which was like two people in the past. He also kept looking around carefully, mysteriously, as if he was worried that someone would find him, obviously something serious.
Zhou Zhi hurriedly asked, "Uncle Wang, I'm here, what's the matter with you?" ”
Uncle Wang lowered his voice and said, "Come into the house and talk." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Zhi to lead the way, he hurriedly entered the house, and Zhou Zhi followed.
Mother Zhou He and sister Zhou Luyun were cooking dinner at this time, and when they saw Uncle Wang, they naturally wanted to say hello. But Uncle Wang stopped with a serious face, took Zhou Zhi's hand and went directly into the back room.
The houses of poor peasant families in the northern countryside are all laid out in a similar way, with the outhouse cooking and the inner room being the place to sleep. As for the living room or something, where can the farmhouse use it? Entering the back room, Uncle Wang sat on the edge of the kang and let out a few long sighs of relief, and then said, "Zhou family boy, your official Marco still has thin dung?" ”
Zhou Zhi didn't know what he meant, so he said truthfully, "Speaking of which, yesterday the little nephew found the official horse-drawn thin dung, so he thought of a way to stop it." But I didn't think that the official horse pulled up the thin dung again today, and before the little nephew could stop it, the group of leaders came.
But now it's okay, the little nephew still uses yesterday's method, and at this time the official horse is already well, and he has the spirit, which is not much different from the past. ”
The method of the magistrate to thin the manure is his own patent, and Zhou Zhi doesn't want to spread it now, so he didn't say it.
Uncle Wang is actually a smart person, Zhou Zhi doesn't say anything, and he doesn't ask. Anyway, he knew that Zhou Zhi's kid was extraordinarily capable, he made a bellows, and then he had such a friendly relationship with the group leader, etc., which was enough to show that this kid was amazing, unimaginable.
At this time, he even thought that the vegetables that Zhou Zhi planted in the field might not really be frozen to death in winter.
Uncle Wang twisted his beard, shook his head and said, "That's right, that's right!" Zhou Zhi boy, have you ever wondered why 'Uncle Ma' suddenly pulled up thin dung? ”
Zhou Zhi really thought about this problem, it stands to reason that he serves carefully every day, drinking water with warm water, never daring to drink horses with cold water, the weather is sunny every day these days, and this season is also the time when the official horse is fat, why is he sick, Zhou Zhi is puzzled.
Glancing at Uncle Wang, Zhou Zhi shook his head and said, "The little nephew really doesn't know." ”
Uncle Wang's face was overjoyed, and then like the storyteller, he said, "Of course you don't know, let the old man tell you." It is said that the old man is old, so he has a problem with waking up at night. Last night, the old man went to the toilet on the third watch, and suddenly saw two black shadows passing by the door of the old man's house.
It's the third watch, who will this be? What is the matter with the two of them? The old man became suspicious for a moment, so he quietly followed.
The old man's tracking is amazing, and guess what, those two black shadows came directly to your house. They looked around for a moment, and then went into the stable.
The old man thought that the two of them might be horse thieves. When it was the old man, he wanted to shout loudly and disturb you, but you know that the old man is old, in case he is discovered by those two black shadows, he will burp if he wants to come to the old man's life.
Fortunately, the two of them came out after a short stay in the stable, and did not steal the horse, and the old man made up his mind for a while.
But today, when I heard that your official pulled up the dung, the old man understood everything. Those two black shadows are here to drug your officials and horses. ”
After listening to this, Zhou Zhi was slightly excited and then calmed down. The time to come will always come, offending Chen Wenju, and it is time for them to take revenge, but they didn't expect them to use such a despicable method.
Immediately, I thought of why Wang Qi came so early today, it was definitely the people of the Chen family who told Wang Qi, and Wang Qi was menacing, as if he knew in advance about the thin dung of my family's official horse.
Of course, Zhou Zhi also thought that it would be someone else, but in Baiyue Village, the Zhou family has always been honest, and only Zhou Zhi has offended the Chen family recently. Except for the Chen family, there is no one with a grudge.
Zhou Zhi immediately asked, "Uncle Wang has ever seen the faces of those two people." ”
"I didn't see this, firstly, it was too dark last night, and secondly, you know that the old man is old, and he doesn't dare to get too close to them." Uncle Wang said with a look of pity on his face.
If you don't see it, you don't see it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, they don't succeed, there will be a follow-up. Zhou Zhi thought so.
It is very rare for Uncle Wang to be able to secretly tell him this. No one is a fool, Uncle Wang knows that Zhou Zhi has offended the Chen family, and it is very likely that these two black shadows were sent by the Chen family. Uncle Wang came to say this, obviously there is a possibility that the Chen family will know, so it is still a great risk for him to take it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi bowed deeply to him and said, "Little nephew, thank you uncle, if it weren't for the old uncle, the little nephew would still be in the dark." ”
"Huh! Don't thank me. You kid be careful in the future, the old man is gone! As he spoke, he stood up, and it was already dark outside, so Uncle Wang quietly left in the night.
Uncle Wang said secretly in his heart while walking, when he guessed the riddle in the barn field that day, this week the boy saved face for the old man, and today the old man took on a huge role to inform him, which can be regarded as repaying him.
Sent Uncle Wang away, Zhou Zhi returned to the house.
Just now Zhou Zhi and Uncle Wang were talking in the back room, and their mother Zhou He and sister Zhou Luyun naturally heard it very clearly, and their hearts immediately lifted. Mother-in-law Zhou He said with a bitter face, "What's wrong with our Zhou family?" Things came out one after another, how did this day go on? ”
Zhou Zhi hurriedly comforted, "Mother doesn't have to worry, Xiao Zhi can handle this matter." ”
Sister Zhou Luyun was also very worried, but at this time, she would never nag like her mother, on the contrary, she also comforted Zhou He's and said, "Yes, mother, what Xiao Zhi said just now is right, Xiao Zhi can handle this matter, don't you see how Xiao Zhi regulates the group of heads today?" Our Zhou family has Xiaozhi, and everything will be solved. ”
Having said that, she really sweated for Zhou Zhi.
However, Zhou He heard his children say this, and thought that the current Zhou Zhi is no longer what it used to be, and has become a veritable pillar of the family, so he feels a lot more at ease.
After dinner, Zhou Zhi asked his younger brother Zhou Shaocheng about his stomach pain, and the younger brother said that it was only a slight pain from time to time, and Zhou Zhi felt a little calmer. However, he was still arranged to sleep in his mother's and sister's room, so that they could observe and take care of his younger brother at any time.
Zhou Zhi then went to the stable, squatted in the corner of the stable, and carefully calculated the countermeasures.
