The four former soldiers listened to the old daughter-in-law's words, and one of the former soldiers said: "You stand back and wait, wait a little longer, the village owner may have something." After speaking, the soldier shouted, "Stand back!" ”

The other three soldiers shouted, "Stand back!" ”

"Stand back! Go back! The soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Lao De and them.

Lao De's daughter-in-law helped Lao De to retreat, and those who sold baskets and barrels also retreated. The basket seller asked, "When will the village master come out?" ”

The soldier who spoke shouted, "Didn't you wait any longer?" ”

When the basket seller saw this, he stepped back and said, "Then how long do we have to wait?" ”

The one who spoke shouted, "Didn't I tell you to wait any longer?" ”

The one who sells baskets and barrels replied: "That soldier, how long will it take?" ”

The Yaqian soldier who spoke said: "Tell you to wait a while, where do you come from so much nonsense?" ”

When the basket seller saw it, he was a little angry, and he said: "Let me ask, when will the village master come out, how long have you been waiting, get a table, chair, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" ”

The Yaqian soldier who spoke said: "Tell you to wait a while, why does the village master come out, you can come out if you ask him?" Let me tell you, if the village master doesn't come out, what can you do? ”

The basket seller listened and said, "The village owner ······." Then he said, "The village master, ······ him?" Then he said, "The village master, he can't come out yet?" ”

The soldier who spoke replied: "When the village master comes out, he will come out, and he said that he will take the table, chair, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and he should not forget it." Wait, don't go near the village office. ”

Lao De was pushed back by his daughter-in-law, and Lao De asked: "We can't wait for this, why don't you go and help us report it, and say that we are all waiting for him outside?" ”

The Yaqian soldier who spoke said: "Wait a little longer, what if the village master comes out?" ”

Lao De said: "Then wait a little longer, if the village owner still doesn't come out, please ask this soldier brother to help us report, and say that Lao De is waiting to compare poems with him." ”

At this time, the basket seller said: "There is also the one I learned with the surname, and the matter of fighting is waiting for the village owner to deal with." ”

The soldier who spoke said: "Okay! Don't go any further, we'll talk about it later. ”

The soldiers returned to their original positions.

After taking a look at the yatang, Lao De said to his daughter-in-law, "Why hasn't this village master come out yet?" ”

The old daughter-in-law replied: "Where do I know where to go?" ”

There was no movement in the yamen for a long time, and the people who gathered were already a little anxious, such as buying tickets and waiting to watch the play, but the play was delayed. Not only were the people who gathered a little anxious, but Lao De was also a little anxious.

After a while, there was still no movement in the yatang, and the gathered people began to be restless, and several people were saying, "Why hasn't this come out yet?" ”

One said, "I'm waiting to see what is going on?" ”

Another said, "They are all sweating." ”

At this time, someone behind him shouted: "Hey! Why hasn't the yamen moved? ”

After this man shouted, several more people followed and shouted.

When the soldiers heard this, they looked behind the crowd, because they had not come, and the soldiers could not talk about them.

The people who gathered were restless, and they all wanted to leave.

Lao De didn't see the village master come out, so he turned around and asked the basket and barrel seller, and said, "Why don't we ask the Yaqian soldiers again?" ”

The basket seller replied: "Okay, ask again." After speaking, the man who sold baskets and barrels wanted to leave, and he said, "Let's go over together." ”

Lao De replied: "Go." ”

Lao De was supported by his daughter-in-law, and walked a few steps with the soldiers who sold baskets and barrels, and the soldiers who spoke saw it, stretched out his hand to stop him: "Hey! Back off! Back off! ”

The other soldiers raised their hands and said, "Stand back!" Back off! ”

Lao De was supported by his daughter-in-law and the basket seller took a step back, and Lao De said: "Brother Bing, why hasn't the village owner come out yet?" Trouble Brother Bing to report for us, right? ”

The soldier who spoke said, "Wait a minute." ”

The basket seller said, "Wait! ”

The soldier who spoke said loudly: "Wait a minute!" ”

The old man, who sold baskets and barrels, saw the former soldier who was looking at the speaker, and asked in his heart: "Why are you waiting?" ”

The basket seller couldn't help it, he said, "What did you just say? You didn't say it just now, wait a minute, why hasn't this village master come out yet? ”

The Yaqian soldier who spoke said: "What can I do if the village master doesn't come out?" ”

The basket seller said: "Then you go and report it, how long have we been waiting?" Sweat on my face? ”

The soldier who spoke said: "You are not from the government, is it worth it for me to report to you?" ”

The basket seller listened and asked, "Isn't it that you don't want to give a report?" ”

The Yaqian soldier who spoke said: "It's not that I don't want to report to you, think about it, you are all villagers, I went in to report, and said that there are a few villagers who want to find the village owner." Do you think that's appropriate? ”

Lao De said: "The village owner said that he is more than a poem with me, and he is a poem with me is the meaning of the village owner, you should report this, it should be appropriate, right?" ”

The soldier who spoke said, "What does the village lord mean? He said, "The meaning of the village owner can be considered." ”

Lao De said: "Then please think about it." ”

The former soldier who spoke thought about it, and then looked back at the other three former soldiers, wanting to hear what they meant.

The three soldiers glanced at each other and looked at him, and no one knew whether to consider reporting to the village owner or not to report to the village owner.

When the soldiers who spoke saw that the other soldiers did not speak, they did not know whether to report to them or not?

At this time, Lao De said: "Trouble Brother Bing to give a report." ”

The Yaqian soldier who spoke said: "What's your name, let me think about it." ”

Lao De replied: "I am Lao De, Lao De of Lao De's private school." The village owner said that he wanted to compare poems with me, and said that he would go to the village office to get tables, chairs, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones. ”

The Ya Qianbing, who spoke, listened and asked, "What does the village owner mean by comparing poems between you and the village owner?" ”

Lao De replied: "It's the meaning of the village owner." ”

The soldier who spoke asked, "Then I'll go and report to you?" ”

Lao De hugged his fist at him and said, "There is Brother Lao Bing." ”

The soldier who spoke turned to the village and raised his hand towards Lao De, saying, "Wait here." ”

After speaking, the soldiers went away.

Lao De nodded and watched the soldiers enter the yatang.

The soldier who spoke entered the hall and greeted the officials with sticks on both sides: "A few hard work. ”

The officials on both sides answered with sticks.

The soldier walked out of the hall through the back door of the hall and came to the courtyard, only to see a person kneeling where the village lord lived in front of him, and this person was none other than the village owner. The soldier wondered: "Why is the village master kneeling?" ”

The soldier took two steps forward, I don't know why the village owner was kneeling? He was afraid of disturbing the village owner, so he walked towards the village master step by step. As he got closer, he whispered, "The village master? "The village master?"

The village lord half-turned his head, and did not look at the former soldier, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier asked, "Village master, why are you kneeling?" ”

The village lord sighed and replied, "It's hard to say. ”
