Chapter 6: Who is the Yellow Sparrow?
Meng San regretted it very much, regretted that he had acted rashly, and hurriedly took someone to Meng Qingze's house without investigating clearly.
But he had already done it, and there was no point in regretting it now.
The only thing Meng San can hope for now is that Meng Hao can be caught or killed by mistake when he takes revenge on those displaced people.
If not, then Meng San hopes that those homeless people can at least endure killing and can delay Meng Zhen for a while longer.
That way, he would at least have a glimmer of hope of escaping, or he would really be in trouble.
He thought well, but Meng Hao blocked his own escape path at the beginning.
Before leaving the cave, Meng Hao not only got some rattan to tie Meng San, but also moved three large stones over, blocking most of the originally very narrow cave exit.
Meng San was angry and anxious, and scolded Meng Hao's figure, but Meng Hao didn't pay attention to him at all.
After blocking the exit to the cave, the little girl went down the mountain with her sword and dagger.
In addition to the three brothers Meng Da, Meng Er, and Meng San, the Meng family she wants to kill also includes the patriarch Meng Xihua and the patriarch's younger brother Meng Xitang.
These five people are the real culprits behind the murder of her father and mother, among whom Meng Er and Meng San were also the executioners who personally participated in the extermination operation against their family that night.
According to the news she heard last night, Meng San's father, Meng Xitang, should have been sent to Wujiazhai Village in Mujiaji Town by the patriarch Meng Xihua today.
Wujiazhai is the village where Wu's mother's family is located, although Wu's father, brother and sister-in-law have passed away, but Wujiazhai still has a large number of Wu's mother's parents and brothers.
Although these people usually don't have much contact with the Wu family, but every year at four o'clock and eight festivals, the Wu family will let people go to their uncles and uncles to give New Year's gifts and festival gifts, because the Meng patriarch and Meng San both feel that Meng Zhen and Meng Qi are likely to go to other homes after the death of their parents and seek refuge.
If the Meng family has no permanent property, the Meng patriarch is very sure that those people in the Wu family will not get involved in their Meng family's affairs.
But the problem is that Meng Qingze is a scholar with surplus wealth, and Wu is a rich lady who has taken away most of her mother's wealth.
With the houses, shops, and fields in their hands hanging in front of them, the Meng patriarch felt that the Wu family would definitely risk his life to snatch these things from their Meng family.
Although they took advantage of the same clan as Meng Qingze, the other party held Meng Qingze's biological son Meng Qi, and the other party was the mother of the Wu family, so they had a position to let them return the Wu family's dowry.
As a result, most of the family wealth left by Meng Qingze and the Wu family is afraid that it will fall into the hands of the Wu family, and he and his brothers, sons, and nephews, they have calculated the Meng Qingze family, but it is very likely that the income is only a quarter or a fifth of Meng Qingze's family property.
This situation is the most unacceptable to Patriarch Meng, which is why he sent his younger brother to Wujiazhai early in the morning to inquire about the news.
From Mengjiazhuang to Wujiazhai, it takes about four hours to go back and forth on foot, and it also takes some time to find out the news, so Meng Xitang didn't finally drag his tired, hungry and thirsty body back until it was completely dark.
I didn't see Meng Zhen's sister and brother in Wujiazhai, so I asked the villagers on the side, and the villagers also said that Wujiazhai had not been to the living people recently, Meng Xitang was in a happy mood and couldn't wait to share the news with his eldest brother, nephew, and son.
What he didn't know was that Meng Zhen, who was waiting for him to pay for his blood debts, was patiently waiting for him to return by the small river ditch outside Mengjiazhuang at this time.
At this time, the Meng patriarch's family was already completely panicked because of Meng Da, Meng Er, and Meng San's long time not returning.
Before the sun set, the Meng patriarch returned to the village with the deed paper proudly, but as soon as he stepped into his house, the women and children of his family surrounded him.
In their rambling stories, the Meng patriarch came to the conclusion that he was the only adult man in their family who returned to his house on time.
If it was just that Meng San didn't come back, Patriarch Meng wouldn't be in a hurry.
First, the nephew is just a nephew after all, and secondly, Meng San went to the county seat with a large population and bustling county, and it is very difficult to find someone in that kind of place, so it can't be a big deal that he didn't come back for a day.
However, the delay in the return of Meng Da and Meng Er made the Meng patriarch uneasy.
You must know that Meng Da and Meng Er went to the forest. The forest is behind Mengjiazhuang, if something happens to the two, then they should go home at most at the beginning of the Shen Shi (three o'clock in the afternoon).
After all, he himself knows a lot about what kind of virtue his own son is.
As for Meng Da's lazy appearance, Patriarch Meng didn't believe that he would follow Meng Er to search in the mountains and not go home to rest all day.
Moreover, before going to the county seat, Patriarch Meng also secretly told his son not to go into the depths of the forest, so when he heard that the family said that Meng Da and Meng Er had not returned home for a day, Patriarch Meng suddenly beat a drum in his heart.
He handed over a few pieces of deed paper in his arms to his wife, "Then I'll take some people to look for them in the forest now." ”
Meng San's mother didn't know that her son actually went to the county seat, and Meng San's daughter-in-law was indifferent to the whereabouts of the dog man, so neither of the two women objected to Patriarch Meng's words.
Patriarch Meng then turned around and walked out of his house again.
He first went to the door of his house and knocked on the doors of the two houses next door.
"Dashan, your eldest brother and second brother of our family went up the mountain to collect firewood today, and they haven't come back after a little day, you go and call some people for me."
"Two Dogs......"
The two nephews of the family closest to his family were all sent out, and the Meng patriarch began to circle in place.
Although there is no basis, Patriarch Meng has an intuition - his two sons are afraid that the situation is not good.
He didn't suspect the Meng Hao siblings, he suspected the hateful homeless people who "cooperated" with them.
Meng San had already told him about the various performances of those homeless people in Meng Qingze's house, which made Patriarch Meng no longer have the slightest trust in those homeless people.
Now he seriously suspects that those homeless people have also taken up the idea of his family.
After all, although his family is not as rich as Meng Qingze's family, it is also a wealthy family that can properly rank among the top three in Mengjiazhuang.
The Meng patriarch suspected that the exiles wanted to kidnap his son and then demanded food and silver as ransom.
Of course, in addition to those outcasts, the Meng patriarch was also suspicious of his nephew Meng San.
Meng San has always been ruthless, and he has no affection for his parents, wife and children, and he has no affection for his uncle, Meng Da and Meng Er's two cousins.
