Whether it is Lao De and his wife, Kong De, the shopkeeper who learns to sell baskets and barrels, or the people who gather to watch the excitement, they all look in the yatang, waiting for the biggest official in the village ya, the village owner, to appear.

Lao De, they are waiting for the village owner, and for the people who gather, even if they can't see the village owner in the yatang, they can see the village housekeeper. But there were no officials in the village office, only the officials were holding sticks.

Someone said, "Oh, why don't there be people in this village?" ”

Someone replied: "Who knows." ”

A very tall man looked at Lao De and them, took two steps towards them, took a look, and asked the shopkeeper who sold baskets and barrels: "Hey brother, what's wrong with you, because of what?" He saw Lao De with a plaster on his head and asked, "Got into a fight?" ”

The basket seller looked at the very tall man and said, "There is a fight." ”

The extremely tall man looked at the five of them and said, "Got into a fight?" ”

The basket seller replied: "There was a fight." ”

The extremely tall man asked, "Because of the fight?" ”

The basket seller and the barrel seller replied: "Because of a shoe." ”

The man who grew very tall said, "Because of a shoe? Because of one of who's shoes? ”

The basket seller pointed to Lao De with his chin and said, "The one who has a plaster on his head is because of one of his shoes." ”

The tall man looked at the plaster on his head and asked, "You beat him because of one of his shoes?" That woman is his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law led him to the village to sue you? ”

The basket seller replied: "No." ”

"Isn't it?" The tall man asked, "And how did he get that head?" ”

The basket and bucket seller was beaten by the shopkeeper, and he didn't like to talk, he was disgusted that this extremely tall person talked to him, and he replied: "I don't know." ”

The very tall man looked at the basket and barrel seller, and when he saw that he did not want to talk to him, he looked at him and looked at the village office.

When Comte saw this, he sympathized with the extremely tall man, and he said to the extremely tall man: "That man is Lao De, and his head was not beaten by us, but his wife threw a stool down the stairs, and his wife did not look at anyone at that time, and just smashed his husband Lao De on the head." ”

The extremely tall man looked at Kong De, he smiled at Kong De, and felt that the person who spoke to him was good, he looked at Lao De and asked, "Lao De?" Which old virtue? ”

Kong De replied: "It is the northwest corner of the cross street, the old virtue of the old German private school." ”

When the extremely tall man heard this, he realized that the one with the plaster on his head was the old man who had occasionally heard of it. He said, "Oh, he." ”

Comte replied: "It's him." ”

"Oh." The extremely tall man looked at Lao De and replied.

After two sentences, the extremely tall man looked at it, and he asked, "Then what are you standing here for, I don't think it looks like Lao De accused his daughter-in-law of smashing his head?" ”

Kong De replied: "The sister-in-law of the Lao De family did not sue the elder brother of the old De family, and the eldest brother of the old de did not come here to complain, but to compare poems with the village owner. It was the two gentlemen who came to deal with the fight. Comte said, stretching out his hand to the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper of the bamboo basket and barrel shop.

"Oh." The tall man looked at the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper of the bamboo basket and barrel shop, and said, "These two gentlemen are here to deal with the fight?" ”

Kong De replied: "Yes, these two gentlemen are here to deal with the fight. ”

"Oh." The extremely tall man asked, "Did they fight?" ”

Comte replied: "Yes. ”

The very tall man asked, "Why are they fighting, I don't think they have anything to do?" ”

Kong De replied: "The reason why the two of them fought and chased the source was because of Lao De's shoe." One of them was wounded, and the place where he was beaten really can't be seen like this. Comte said and looked at the shopkeeper of the bamboo basket and barrel shop.

The extremely tall man looked at the shopkeeper of the bamboo basket and barrel shop, and he had two questions, one was how did the fight between the two start because of Lao De's one shoe? Second, where was the beaten person beaten? Seeing that Comte was more friendly, he asked, "How can they fight because of Lao De's one shoe?" And where he was injured, I think he's fine. ”

Kong De said: "This is a lot of talk, in short, the two of them fought because of Lao De's shoe, this shopkeeper was beaten, and the shopkeeper beat someone." ”

The very tall man glanced at the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper of the bamboo basket and barrel shop, and said, "Oh······" He said and looked at Comte. Comte looked at him and did not say anything to him, and Conde felt that it was detrimental to his own virtue, and he said, "Hey, sir, why don't you wait for the village lord to hear the case, so that you can listen to him completely?" ”

The extremely tall man looked at Kong De and said, "Okay, I'll wait for the village master to judge the case." ”

Kong De said: "Okay, let's wait for the village master to hear the case." ”

The extremely tall man glanced at Kong De and looked at the village hall to see if there was any movement in the village office.

In the hall, it was still the same, and several servants on both sides stood with sticks, as if they had formed a triangular frame with the sticks, supporting each other. They are not always supported, and sometimes they stand well, and they are tired of always supporting him.

Lao De looked a little anxious. The shopkeeper who sold baskets and barrels was also a little anxious, he came to deal with the matter between himself and the shopkeeper, waiting for the village lord to administer justice for him, and let the shopkeeper be beaten with a stick. When the village owner deals with their affairs, he must first compare poems with the old Debi, and only after comparing poems can he deal with their affairs. There was no movement in the village hall for a long time, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait?

The basket seller didn't know how long he would have to wait, he thought about it and took a breath, and asked Lao De: "Lao De, you compare poems with the village owner, can you go to the village office to find the village owner and see what the village owner does, don't you forget about the things you compare poems with him, and the things about me and the surname?" ”

Lao De heard this and said to himself: "Could it be that the village master has really forgotten? ”

The basket seller said, "Lao De, please go in and look for it, how long has it been?" ”

When Lao De heard this, he looked into the yatang, and he asked, "Why are you bothering me to go in and find out?" ”

The basket seller replied: "The village owner and you have only dealt with the matter of me and the surname after comparing the poems, I see that the village government has not moved, and I am a little anxious." ”

Lao De replied: "You are in a hurry to go in and find it, why do you let me go in and find it?" ”

The basket seller replied: "Doesn't the village owner want to compare poems with you first?" You and the village owner come first, and I learn the surname later. You first compare poems with the village owner, then you go in and find them. ”

Lao De thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go in and find it together?" ”

The basket seller and the barrel seller looked at it and said, "Shall we go and find it together?" ”

Lao De looked at the soldiers in front of the yaya and the officials in the yatang, and said, "Why don't you ask the soldiers in front of the yamen first?" ”

The basket seller replied: "Okay, first ask the soldiers of the Yaqian." He said as he walked towards Lao De.

Lao De looked at the basket seller and the barrel seller, stepped back, and said, "Let's go and ask together." ”

When the basket seller saw it, he replied: "Okay, okay, let's go and ask together." ”

Lao De touched his daughter-in-law who was supporting him and said, "Go and ask." ”

Lao De was supported by his daughter-in-law, and walked towards the soldiers in front of the yamen with the shopkeeper of the bamboo basket and barrel shop, and the four soldiers in front of the yamen saw him and said: "Hey! Do! ”

Lao De and his wife and the shopkeeper of the bamboo basket and barrel shop were stopped by the four former soldiers, and the old German daughter-in-law said: "The village owner and my old Debi poem, said to go and get the table and chair, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, please ask the soldier to ask, ask the village owner when to get the table, chair, pen, ink, paper and inkstone?" ”
