Chapter 074
Yesterday, I persuaded Cai Dani to go home, had breakfast, thought it was the weekend, no one told me, and Cheng Xiaodong went out of the village with a bamboo basket.
All the way to the south, out of Zhifu Village, after Fu Village, seeing that he was about to reach Qianqian Village, Cheng Xiaodong stopped and did not continue to move forward.
He put his hands on the pergola in front of his forehead, looked at the sun, and came out for more than an hour, when the sun began to be scorching.
Looking around, he walked along a small path on the right, he had been to this place before, and there were the most pork hair vegetables in it, and he still listened to his father at that time.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Cheng Xiaodong sat down and rested for a while, he knew that after turning over the small slope in front, the hillside behind was full of pig's hair.
Looking behind me, I was so far away from home, I could vaguely see Zhifu Village, that is, the few families at the head of the village near here.
Tightening the cuffs of his clothes, carrying the bamboo basket, Cheng Xiaodong continued to climb on it, and directly turned over the slope in one breath, and when he reached the back hillside, the scene made him stunned, the dense pork hair vegetables were almost growing to his knees, and from a distance, it looked like a green carpet.
Unable to hold back the joy in his heart, he hurriedly ran over with a sickle and a bamboo basket, and began to cut without raising his head.
He never worries about any snakes or other things nearby, and his father said that there will be no snakes in places where pig hair cabbage grows, because pig hair cabbage is naturally a snake avoiding plant, but it is not poisonous.
After cutting for ten minutes, the bamboo basket will be full, Cheng Xiaodong looked at the pig's hair vegetables that had no place to put it, and felt a little regretful in his heart, only blaming himself for being too low and too small to take such a big basket.
After a short rest and a drink of mountain spring water, Cheng Xiaodong sat in the shade on the stone next to him, blowing the mountain breeze and basking in the sun, Cheng Xiaodong slowly closed his eyes, very comfortable.
I wanted to blow for a while and go home, but suddenly a series of strange sounds appeared behind me, at first I thought it was the sound of the wind, but then I felt that it was wrong, this sound seemed to be getting closer and closer to him, so frightened that Cheng Xiaodong quickly stood up, grabbed the sickle in his hand and looked back.
It was quiet on the side of the pig's hair, there was nothing, and in the barley bush behind him (a kind of firewood, not the one to eat), the barley kept shaking, as if there was something in it.
After an eye assessment, this barley bush is estimated to be as tall as his shoulder, and there is no one all year round, and the plants here grow taller than other places.
Holding the sickle in both hands, his eyes staring at that side without blinking, he was really afraid that if he was not careful, he would spit out some kind of beast and eat it for himself.
The bushes shook for a while, and then stopped, Cheng Xiaodong looked over there quietly, except for the sound of the wind, there was nothing, and it was the same as just now, and it was quiet again.
What's going on?
Although Cheng Xiaodong muttered in his heart, he didn't have anything, so he hurriedly took the basket and walked back, for fear that something would happen in a while.
Maybe it was because of the fright just now, this time he walked home a lot faster than usual, and after a while, Cheng Xiaodong ran down the slope and wiped his face to know that he was already sweating profusely at this time, sitting on the edge of the field panting.
If you really come out with something to bite into yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back, and next time you have to bring a self-defense guy.
Cheng Xiaodong touched his sickle, glanced at the back of the slope, laughed a few times, and went home directly.
Seeing a basket of pig hair vegetables, Cai Dani excitedly hugged Cheng Xiaodong and jumped in a circle, and asked Cai Dani to know that Cai Jianguo and Chen Lianhua were not at home, saying that they were going to Lao Gengtou's house, and the people from the police station came to announce the verdict of the pig killing case a few days ago.
"Isn't Grandpa Geng dead, how can he be sentenced?"
Cheng Xiaodong asked plainly, but all he wanted in his mind was to dig up the body and lock it up, and he didn't know why he had this idea.
Cai Dani shook her head, her eyes full of pork hair.
"You watch at home, I'll take a look."
Cheng Xiaodong is very curious, how the police station will deal with the death of the perpetrator of a case, and he usually thinks about it, because he thinks that if he can't drive a plane, it would be good to be a police officer to catch the bad guys.
Many people gathered at the door of Zhou Zhiwu's house and Lao Gengtou's house, and Cheng Xiaodong looked at the police officers in police uniforms at the police station from a distance, and quickly found a pile of stones and ran up to sit down.
Zhou Zhiwu saw Cheng Xiaodong, beckoned, and also ran over to sit down with him.
"You're late, and the verdict is over."
Zhou Zhiwu knew what he was doing, and as soon as he sat down, he looked at Cheng Xiaodong and said.
"What's the result?"
Cheng Xiaodong hurriedly asked.
"Have you seen his house, Grandpa Geng's house is three rooms, leaving a kitchen and an east house, and the other west house and ear shed are allocated to our family as compensation."
Zhou Zhiwu said as he gestured to Cheng Xiaodong.
"What about the vegetable garden?"
"The range of Westinghouse and the ear shed is also the range, and of course the vegetable garden is also the range."
Cheng Xiaodong was secretly surprised, it turned out that he could be judged like this, he was really insightful, it turned out that his thoughts were all children's plays, too naïve.
"What are you doing covered in dirt?"
Zhou Zhiwu pointed to the soil on Cheng Xiaodong's trouser leg and asked.
"Playing."
Cheng Xiaodong smiled, patted the soil on his trouser legs and clothes, and said without a trace.
Zhou Zhiwu looked at the group of people in a daze, he didn't speak for a long time, Cheng Xiaodong noticed that something was wrong with him, so he touched him with his elbow.
"You said that the two families were originally harmonious, but now it's so bad, just now Grandpa Geng's daughter and son came back from the county seat, and they counted Grandma Geng, Grandma Geng fainted from crying, and now she is lying in the house."
After listening to Zhou Zhiwu's words, Cheng Xiaodong noticed that Grandma Geng was not in the crowd, and it was his son Geng Xi who was about to represent the top matter.
"It's not that Uncle Geng Xi broke off relations with Grandpa Geng, he didn't come back on the day Grandpa Geng died, why did he come back today?"
Zhou Zhiwu didn't know, and looked at it in a daze.
Cheng Xiaodong didn't ask much when he saw that he didn't mean to say much, his eyes fell on Geng Xi's body, looking at his radiant appearance, he always felt weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.
The crowd made a way, the village chief made a gesture of please, and the police from the police station followed alongside, hearing that the village chief meant to invite them to their home for dinner, but they said that they were not available, so the village chief did not say much to stay, set up an ox cart, and asked the iron pillar to send them out of the village.
Because the road was not built, the police car could not enter, and it was said that it was a police car, no matter how big the official came, he had to take the ox cart aggrieved.
