Chapter Seven: Repaying Grievances with Straightforwardness (I)
Hu Sheng was a little embarrassed, since there is an IOU, it is natural to repay the debt, but Li Daqi went to the county, how can the money be repaid?
"Steward Liu, Daqi has gone to the county, you can come back another day!"
Liu Chenghong smiled gloomily, "I know he went to hide from the debt, and I can come back another day, but today my dog died, this matter will not be easy to handle, so be it!" Brother Hu gave me a guarantee, this dog is worth 30 yuan, together with the 50 yuan IOU, a total of 80 yuan, if Li Daqi doesn't pay back this money, you will pay it back for him! ”
Li Yanqing listened to his scoundrel and took the ten yuan he had snatched, and he was immediately furious, he stepped forward and said: "Uncle Hu, don't listen to his nonsense, this IOU was written by him to force my father to write it with violence, the so-called Da Hei bit his son's medical expenses, but Da Hei didn't bite his son at all, it was clearly blackmailing my father, I will never admit it, as for this dog, it broke into the house and deserved it!" ”
Liu Chenghong's goldfish eyes widened, "Little bastard, dare to frame me, see how I clean you up!" ”
Hu Sheng stretched out his hand and hugged Li Yanqing's shoulder, straightened his burly body and said solemnly to Liu Chenghong: "I won't give you any protection, but Daqi entrusted his son to me, and I won't allow you to touch a single hair of him today." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Liu Chenghong didn't leave, he didn't stay, he really couldn't get off the stage, at this moment, a family member came panting, hugged his fists and said: "Big housekeeper, the sacrifices have arrived, the master told you to go back quickly." ”
Liu Chenghong took the opportunity to step down, stared at Li Yanqing with his teeth and said viciously: "When I finish the sacrifice, I will go to the county to find your Lao Tzu, little rabbit cub, it doesn't matter if you have a hard mouth, see how I drag your Lao Tzu back from the county to settle this account, in black and white, it is useless for him to sue the official, your father and son are going to wear linen and filial piety to give my dog a funeral!" ”
"Let's go!"
Liu Chenghong turned around and left, and the four family members hurriedly went to clean up the dog's corpse and followed the master away.
Hu Sheng's eyebrows were worried, he understood the world, and the handle of the IOU fell into the hands of Liu Chenghong, a bully, and Daqi was really in big trouble this time.
......
At night, Li Yanqing sat cross-legged on the dirt pit with Da Hei in his arms, his eyes were exceptionally bright in the dark, he had no time and no way to retreat, and he could only survive by counterattacking in a desperate situation.
An idea that poured out in the ancestral hall during the day was gradually brewed into a plan by him, and he needed to plan carefully, improve the details, and not make a mistake.
Li Yanqing slowly closed his eyes, today Liu Chenghong actually wants to reason with Uncle Hu, so that he understands a truth, in this world of the jungle, if you want the wicked to be reasonable, you must have fists harder than him, more ruthless than him.
It's not enough to just study, and when this matter is over, he will also find an opportunity to practice his fists.
.......
At noon the next day, Li Yanqing came to the ancestral hall again, but he did not enter the ancestral hall, but climbed on a big cypress tree to observe the ancestral hall.
The courtyard was filled with various cages, and more than a dozen clansmen were busy in the courtyard and the main hall, some sweeping the floor and sprinkling water, some setting up offering tables and placing offerings, and some laying carpets.
Li Daguang stood at the door and pretended to help, but his eyes were hooked by the two jars of wine in the courtyard, which was the most famous Gaoji soju in Xiangzhou! The smell of wine wafted through the mud cover, piercing his nostrils and his heart, hooking him to forget about tomorrow's sacrifice.
A young clansman joked with a smile and joked to Li Daguang: "Fourth uncle, there will be no rats to steal the bar tonight!" ”
"Hehe, how could it be!"
Li Daguang put on his fairy-like bearing, waved his hand and said: "For so many years, when has there been a problem, I, Li Daguang, will sleep in the main hall tonight to see who dares to steal." ”
Several young people laughed, "Every time something goes wrong, it's just that the patriarch doesn't pursue it." ”
Li Daguang's face was hot, so he had to laugh awkwardly.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a serious face walked out of the main hall, everyone lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to joke, his name is Li Wengui, the third brother of the patriarch Li Wenyou, and he is fully responsible for this sacrifice.
He asked Li Daguang: "Fourth, there was no movement in the main hall last night, right?" ”
Li Daguang hurriedly laughed and said: "There is nothing abnormal, please rest assured, third brother!" ”
Li Wengui glanced back at the red sandalwood spirit card on the wooden niche, and instructed him: "Daguang, you also know what that spirit card means to our family, if it weren't for the time to ask for the card, we would never invite it out so early, you have to look good, if you feel that one person can't do it, I will let the two descendants keep vigil with you tonight, but there can be no accidents." ”
"Not really!"
Li Daguang patted his chest, "Since the patriarch handed it over to me, he can trust me, and besides, it's not the first time I've guarded it, so don't worry, third brother!" ”
Li Wengui originally wanted the two descendants to keep vigil with him, but Li Daguang moved the patriarch out, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to nod, "Since you said so, then I will hand it over to you, and you are not allowed to drink, remember?" ”
"I promise I won't drink a drop of alcohol tonight!"
Li Wengui said to the clansmen in the courtyard again: "I have to go to the county to buy something now, and I may have to come back when I am sacrificing, so everyone will work hard, clean up as soon as possible, and I will tell the patriarch when I go back, and each person will be rewarded with two yuan." ”
When everyone heard that there was a reward, they worked harder.
.......
Li Yanqing did not leave in a hurry, but patiently hid in the tree and waited, he trusted his judgment, the three little bastards would definitely come.
After a few more moments, he saw the three wicked boys sneaking along a path towards the ancestral hall, and they had taken the same path as yesterday, and there was a bush by the brook, and he could see the courtyard by hiding in the bush.
The three of them hid in the bushes and looked into the courtyard of the ancestral hall, Liu Fuer suddenly pointed to the courtyard and said excitedly: "I saw it, the red food cage, all kinds of snacks are in it." ”
"Shhhh Be quiet, the third uncle is also in the courtyard, don't let him see us. ”
"I'm afraid of a fart!"
Liu Fuer gritted his teeth and said, "As long as we don't catch it on the spot, what if he dares to take us?" ”
"I'm afraid that if he takes away all the snacks, we won't have any hope."
"Well, what do you say?"
"Let's come at night, my dad said that the drunkard will sleep when he drinks, let's wait for him to fall asleep."
The three wicked boys discussed a few more words, and went back the way they came, but they never noticed that there was a child with a sneer hidden in the big tree above them.
......
At dusk, Li Yanqing appeared on the cypress tree again, he was waiting for the opportunity to enter the ancestral hall, and not long after, he saw Li Daguang come out of the ancestral hall, lock the door directly, and carry a food box to the direction of the town.
Although the door of the ancestral hall was locked, it was meaningless to the children, Li Yanqing climbed a big tree close to the wall and directly climbed over the wall into the ancestral hall.
The door of the main hall has been locked, and the windows have been locked from the inside, Li Yanqing ran to the backyard, he saw yesterday that the window behind it seemed to have no window tether, the window was blocked by dozens of tables in a mess, and no one would usually notice it.
The backyard is not big, there are only two rooms, this is Li Daguang's residence, there are more than a dozen empty wine jars piled up in the corner of the yard, three plum trees are sparsely planted in the middle, and the big stones on the foundation are covered with slippery and greasy moss, and no one has walked for a long time.
The back door of the main hall is facing the courtyard, but it has not been used for many years, the back door has been locked, and the doors, windows and pillars behind it have not been painted for a long time, and they are full of large and small cracks, which look very dilapidated and mottled.
Li Yanqing ran to the innermost window, the window was very high, his size was not enough, Li Yanqing looked around, there was nothing else in the yard except a pile of wine jars, so he ran to bring a big wine jar, buckled it on the ground, just as a stepping stone.
Li Yanqing stepped on the wine altar, groped the window, and secretly prayed in his heart that success or failure would be in this move, 'Squeak quack!' The dilapidated window was actually opened by him, and it was not locked, Li Yanqing was overjoyed, and he got into the window as soon as he jumped in.
