Chapter 290, Horse's Foot
Back in the room, looking at the big and small sleeping sweetly on the bed, Zheng Rin's somewhat cold face showed a lot of warmth. He gradually took off his clothes, took off his shoes and lay on the bed, took his ignorant wife in his arms, leaned over to her forehead and kissed her, and then reached out and touched his daughter's red and tender little face, and finally closed his eyes with satisfaction.
In the second half of his life, he will do everything to protect his wife and daughter in his arms, which is a treasure that he can never fail!
β¦β¦
"Sister Meizi, those people are dead and arrested, I heard that the patriarchs and elders came to the hall overnight, do you think they will confess the two of us?" In an old adobe house at the head of the village, Niu, whose belly was high up, grabbed Meizi's hand tightly, and Tie Qing's eyes were filled with deep fear.
Ever since she knew that those thieves had been caught, Niu became scared, and she stayed at home all day and did not dare to go out, for fear that someone would break into the house and arrest her. She didn't repent of what she had done, she only complained that God didn't open her eyes and didn't let the person she hated very much have two lives.
Meizi was just as scared in her heart, if it weren't for Niu's staring too closely, so that she didn't have a chance to escape, she would have fled back to her parents' house long ago. After listening to Niu's words, all the depression came out in an instant, and he shouted at Niu's impatience: "What if you confess? I'm not from your village, and your patriarch has no qualifications to punish me! β
Meizi is as good at pretending as Niu's, this time she eats Niu's and lives Niu's, and treats Niu's like her own mother, and has always been gentle and respectful, which makes Niu's very useful.
At the moment, she was scolded by Meizi loudly, which shocked Niu's family, and when Niu's came back to her senses, she stared at Meizi with a gloomy expression: "You dare to talk to me like this?" Don't forget, you did that incident with me last night, you think you are not from the village, and the patriarch has nothing to do with you? β
Meizi's eyelids jumped, and she suddenly realized that it was not the time to turn her face with Niu's yet, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Cousin, you know that I am a stupid person, I was in a hurry to say the wrong thing just now, you don't have to take it to heart." β
Niu is not stupid, how can he not know what Meizi is thinking. She snorted coldly and said, "It's good to know that it's wrong, don't forget, now that we're in the same boat, no one can please if the boat capsizes." β
Looking at the Niu family, who didn't treat himself as a human being, Meizi was secretly annoyed, but she had to continue to support herself: "I understand what you said, you can rest assured that I will not leave you alone, and I will definitely think of a proper way to ensure that your patriarch will not be able to get our handle." β
Niu knew that Meizi had a lot of eyes, but he didn't fully believe her in his heart. Reaching out and touching her belly, she was determined to squeeze out a gentle smile, and said to Meizi: "Sister Meizi understands, then you can think of a way, and the child in my belly and I will all rely on Sister Meizi." β
"Cousin and sister are polite, hello, I'm good, isn't it?" Meizi was acting in a good way, and her face did not show a trace of horse's feet.
In the end, the two talked with laughter again, as if the previous conflict had not happened.
Seeing that it was not early, Meizi boiled a pot of hot water as usual, and served Niu's washing like a maid. After Niu fell asleep, she also made a basin of water for herself, wiped her whole body, and slept on the thin floor in front of Niu's bed.
Not long after the separation, Zheng Shuiqing used up the only silver she had, and naturally she would not spend money on buying household belongings, so there was only one bed in the house and a few quilts that arrived at the time of separation.
Zheng Shuiqing was not at home for three days, and Niu didn't put the plum in his eyes, so he threw her a thin quilt and let her make a bunk in front of the bed.
Therefore, after Meizi came, she slept on the ground continuously at night, even if she was extremely dissatisfied in her heart, she could only endure it, the truth that her purpose of coming to Shangzheng Village had not been achieved, and if the Niu family saw her dissatisfaction and wanted to drive her away, there would be no hope.
Listening to the gradually sounding snoring sound in her ears, Meizi, who had been pretending to be asleep continuously, suddenly opened her eyes, faced the direction where Niu was located, and shouted softly: "Cousin, cousin, are you asleep?" β
After shouting three times in a row, she was still responding to a slight purr.
Meizi crept up from the ground, and even deliberately used her feet to delay the sound on the ground, seeing that Niu just turned over and fell asleep again, she was completely relieved, quietly went around the end of the bed to a broken wardrobe, and quietly opened the cabinet door that was almost about to fall.
In this tattered cabinet, not only Niu's clothes are stacked, but also all of Niu's valuable things, including a little bit of silver that she just returned from her mother's house some time ago.
There is an outsider at home, and Niu is naturally not stupid enough to put silver and valuable things in the cabinet. The tattered cabinet was old and bulky, and I don't know when it had been bitten by a rat.
The hole was cleverly dug, the center was empty, and the only place where it was lurking was a hole. Niu stuffed the silver and valuable things into this hole, and if he didn't put his hand into the hole, he wouldn't have found anything hidden inside.
Meizi also secretly paid attention to it for a long time before discovering the mystery of the mouse hole. She knew that this time the total was in vain, and she probably couldn't fall well, so she had already prepared the hope of escaping, and then let Niu alone bear all the blame.
Since she wanted to escape, she had no money in her hand, so she started Niu's idea, hoping to escape from Shangzheng Village overnight after succeeding.
Meizi's hand reached into the cabinet and fumbled around, and soon she found the mouse hole. She shoved her index and middle fingers together into the hole, and soon felt for something stiff wrapped in a piece of cloth. She was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed the cloth with her fingertips and gently pulled it out, and soon pulled out the whole thing.
"What are you doing?"
In the quiet and dark room, someone shouted unexpectedly, which frightened Meizi for a while, and the silver that had been won fell to the ground with a "clanging", making a loud sound......
In the depths of the night, the village fell into a deep sleep in the quiet moonlight, and the occasional barking of dogs could not be disturbed by the sleep of the people.
Suddenly, a terrible scream echoed through an old house at the head of the village, breaking through the cleanliness of the village. Immediately after, a black shadow burst out of the house in a panic and fell into the pit at the door.
The black shadow didn't care about the sore knee, and quickly got up from the pit and ran quickly towards the direction outside the village, ignoring the poignant cries behind him, and completely disappeared into the night at the moment when the lights of the surrounding houses were turned on.
"The toss of the big midnight~ I don't let people sleep!" After a while, a family next to the old house opened the door, and a young woman came over scolding, wanting to make the people in the house quieter, not to be so terrible.
When the young woman approached, she found that the door of the house was open, and the screaming in the house had not stopped, and suddenly she felt that something was wrong with her part-time job, and hurried into the house with two quick steps.
"Ahβit's going to dieβ" The next moment the young woman fled screaming, and ran in the direction of her house, almost falling into the pit.
Soon, the doors of several families also opened, and one by one they ran here and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, is there another thief entering the village?" β
What happened to the Zheng family last night spread throughout the village before dawn. In addition to the vigilance at the entrance of the village, the people who don't have to be on duty at night should also be careful, once there is a grass startling snake, they can immediately understand, so as not to be cut by thieves in their sleep.
"See blood, geometric blood, it's going to die...... "The young woman said incoherently, her face pale in the moonlight, and she was clearly frightened.
It's no wonder that not long after she got married in the village, she hadn't been pregnant yet, and when she saw such a tragic pomp for the first time, where could she stand it, and it was already good to be scared without convenience.
Hearing her say this, the rest of the people knew what was going on, and suddenly their expressions changed, and they hurried into the house. Soon, two people rushed out again, one ran to the direction of Lijia Village to call Li Qiye to come over to save his life, and the other went to Zheng's house to report the news.
The fat group sleeping outside was the first to hear the sound of the door, and it pricked up its ears to listen, then staggered to its feet, raised its bear paw and slapped the door of the shovel officer's room.
Zheng Rin didn't lie down for long, and he didn't fall asleep completely. Hearing the fat group banging on the door, he quickly turned over and sat up from the bed, put on his shoes and gently opened the door.
There was one less isolation, Zheng Rin vaguely heard someone in the front yard shouting for the door, thinking that there was an environment at the entrance of the village, so he touched the brain shell of the fat group and drove it to sleep, and opened the door himself and hurried to the front yard.
Old man Zheng and Meng's house was closer to the front yard, and because of last night's incident and even the two of them not sleeping well, they were also awakened by the knock on the door. Meng Shi put on a piece of clothing and got up, and as soon as he came to the front yard to plan to open the door, he met Zheng Rin, and couldn't help but ask a little sadly: "Ah Rin, shouldn't it be Wai Hong entering the village?" β
Zheng Rin didn't confirm either, shook his head and said, "I don't know what is going on, I'll open the door and ask first." With that, he walked quickly and lifted up, and stepped forward to open the courtyard door.
Without waiting for Zheng Rin to ask, the woman said eagerly: "Purlin, your third brother and sister fell and shed a lot of blood, I'm afraid it's not good, go and take a look!" β
As soon as he heard that it was about the Niu family, Zheng Rin frowned clearly, and didn't want to care about it: "Auntie, I can't do anything about this matter, I bother you to go to the sixth aunt's house and ask the sixth aunt to run a trip, and then let Zheng Shuiqing go to Lijia Village to ask Doctor Li, they will be grateful to you." β
Unexpectedly, Zheng Rin would have such an attitude, and the woman looked at him in horror. When she remembered the enmity between the brothers, she couldn't help but sigh: "Your third brother hasn't settled in the house for more than half a month, and no one knows where he went. β
Zheng Rin listened, and his expression was a little ugly. I didn't want to pay attention to Niu's life and death, but I just thought of my soft and tender daughter, and then thought of the innocent child in Niu's belly, and finally I couldn't bear it, nodded and said: "Auntie, I'll go over here, bother you to run again, go and invite the sixth aunt to come over." β
"Hey, hey, my aunt will go right away." Seeing that Zheng Rin was relieved, the woman also breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly agreed to his request, turned around and hurried to the sixth aunt's house, but in her heart she had a clearer understanding of the relationship between the Zheng family brothers.
is a brother who is connected by flesh and blood, how small he is not at ease, and he begs a wife who is not at ease, the scene of the big mind is really ugly, and it is no wonder that the big house is not to be seen.
The two of them are also pregnant, not to mention the big house, the man is distressed by his in-laws and trusts, and he can give birth to the child safely after bearing such a catastrophe; What about the third room, she fell on herself in a good way, and she didn't know if there was so much blood in her eyes, so she didn't even take her seriously because of her in-laws and men, I really don't know if this is retribution or fate is not very good!
"Rin, you are a big man who guards your younger siblings to give birth to children, or your mother goes, you will guard it at home!" Seeing that the eldest son was really going to the third son's house to take charge, Meng quickly grabbed him and didn't want him to go.
