044 Quiet Afternoon Thunderstorm (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
An inexplicable feeling rose in Jiang Zhen's heart, he sniffed and said; "Sister, do you remember Brother Meng Hu?"
"Remember, what's wrong?"
She clearly remembered that one afternoon when she had just traveled to this era, her younger brother came over with a pheasant and radish, and he said that it was given by Brother Meng Hu.
According to the remaining memories of Chunya, Meng Hu was still very impressed.
When she was a child, the two families were relatively close, and she and her younger brother often followed Meng Hu to go down to the river to catch fish and go up the mountain to catch rabbits.
After being caught, half of it is often given to the little minions who don't help at all and only shout and cheer on the side.
If they hunt something delicious at home, or a relatively large game, they will inevitably bring a bowl or a portion.
So the relationship between the three of them was very good when they were young.
Even in the remnants of Chunya's memory, when she was in early February, she still had an indescribable feeling about the stout big brother.
It was a feeling that Haruka couldn't understand at that time.
Later, the family changed suddenly, and the ignorant Chunya couldn't resist the arrangement of fate, and after marrying into the Bu family with the flow, he never had any contact with Meng Hu again.
Jiang Zhen's face was a little sad, and he said leisurely; "I met him at the bazaar this morning and he had an accident."
"Huh!? What's wrong," Jiang Yi hurriedly asked with concern.
Although the current soul is Jiang Yi and not Jiang Chunya, after all, he has received favors from others just now, and it is normal to be concerned when he heard that he had an accident.
The younger brother sighed and said; "A few days ago, he and Uncle Meng hunted a yellow monkey in the mountains, and when he carried it to the town to buy it, he was seen by Deng Xiaojin, the young master of the Deng family."
Speaking of this Deng Xiaojin, everyone in the town really knows that he is a pest in ten miles and eight townships, and his reputation is so stinky that it almost makes people gnash their teeth when they say this name.
Ping County, where Xilin Zhen is located, during the 350-year reign of the Dayong Dynasty, there were only four Jinshi, almost only one in a hundred years.
The last of them is surnamed Deng, which is the same clan of Deng Xiaojin's great-grandfather, and when he died, the official was from the same knowledge of the five products.
Equivalent to a deputy mayor.
In ancient times, the family concept was very strong, and it was always one person who attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven.
When Deng Tongzhi was an official, he didn't know if he had any achievements in the court, but he took good care of his clansmen.
Although Deng Xiaojin's great-grandfather was a clansman who moved away from the clan in the county and lived in the town, he also received the care of his cousin and made a fortune.
Later, his grandfather was also admitted to Xiucai, so the Deng family became the largest and most powerful family in the town.
As the only descendant of the Deng family in Xilin Town, he is favored by the elders in the family, so he is arrogant and domineering, bullying men and women, causing God to hate ghosts.
Jiang Zhen continued; "Deng Zhai wanted to spend a tael of silver to sell the rhubarb, Brother Meng Hu was naturally unwilling, the yellow ruffle said that it could be sold for more than two taels of silver, so there was a dispute, at that time, Brother Meng Hu pushed him, and it happened to be pushed into a slightly deeper ditch on the side of the road, it should be his bad luck, and he actually broke his leg ......"
Jiang Yi's brows furrowed deeply.
"Fortunately, Brother Meng Hu ran fast at the time, otherwise I am afraid that he would have been caught by the dog thieves of the Deng family at that time, and now the Deng family has threatened to break Meng Hu's two legs." Speaking of this, Jiang Zhen gritted his teeth.
"Early this morning, I met Brother Meng Hu who was going to run away halfway, and seeing that he didn't have much money on him, I went to the town to find the shopkeeper of the grocery store and borrowed three taels of silver and gave it to Brother Meng Hu who was waiting outside the town."
Jiang Yi took his hand and said gratifyingly; "Brother, you are right to do this, I will give you an extra silver tael, and you will send it to Brother Meng Hu's house to his parents."
Although the money she has saved so far is only more than 20 taels of silver, she will not be stingy with the money that should be used.
The younger brother was overjoyed when he heard this, and said happily; "Sister, you're so nice, I was afraid that you would blame me at first, hehe."
"How so." She pointed to the bullock cart outside the door and smiled; "Go quickly, Chen Zhi has packed all the goods."
"Okay, I'll go." Jiang Zhen happily turned his head and ran towards the door.
…………
The spring afternoon is warm and warm, and the mountain village is quiet and peaceful.
Jiang Yi took some rice bran accompanied by water, poured it into the food bowl of the chicken pen, and then learned that the chickens clucked a few times, and the chickens looking for food all over the mountains ran over quickly.
Although these chickens are looking for food all over the hillside, eating insects, shoots, and seeds of plants and trees, they are still afraid that they will not be full, and they need to add some food every day.
Watching nearly 100 chickens of more than a pound rushing to finish the food, and slowly walking out of the chicken pen to continue looking for food, she also took the empty basin back to the grocery store with satisfaction.
When I walked to the bamboo bridge, I suddenly saw an ox cart running quickly in the distance.
Jiang Yi suddenly had a bad premonition.
Originally, there was one ox cart in the village, but today there is one more for the Buxiu family.
But whether it is Jiang Zhen or Buxiu, it is absolutely impossible to return to the village at three o'clock in the afternoon at this time.
Because at this time, the town is scattered, and people are preparing to go home with goods, which is the time for many goods to be transported.
Even if you fill up a cart early and come back first, you can't run that fast.
, and there was no cargo to be seen on the car that was getting closer and closer.
The galloping ox cart also caught Chen's mother's attention, and she came out of the utility room to stare at the ox cart that was getting closer and closer.
"Mother! Landlord! Oh no, Brother Zhen was beaten. The person sitting at the front of the car shouted, and Jiang Yixin paused.
The front of the car shouted Chen Zhi, looking at his anxious look, his younger brother must have been injured a lot, and besides, there was no younger brother sitting side by side on the front of the car.
Jiang Yi rushed to the car, only to see that her younger brother was not in the car.
"What's wrong? What about my brother? ”
Chen Zhi immediately grabbed the ox cart and shouted anxiously; "I didn't dare to take him back, he vomited a lot of blood, if he came back all the way, it would definitely aggravate his injuries, so I left him in the medical hall in Xie Langzhong in the town."
When Jiang Yi heard the word vomiting blood, she didn't have time to feel any emotion in her heart, whether it was worry, panic or fear. But tears have welled up.
She didn't have time to wipe her tears, so she immediately ran to the bedroom, shouting as she ran; "You take me to town right away."
She went back to the bedroom to get the money.
When he came out with the money, he found that Chen Zhi had turned the ox cart, and Chen's mother brought a bowl of water to her sweaty son.
Chen Zhi got out of the car and wanted to get water to drink, but almost fell to the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen's mother was taken aback.
"I was also punched a few times and my feet swept a few times." Chen Zhi pulled up his pants, only to see a few blue and black rain marks, and Chen's mother cried out.
Chen Zhi immediately put down his trouser legs and waved his hand nonchalantly; "It's not very in the way, mother, you take some forage and water to feed the cow, it runs too far, I'm afraid it can't stand it."
Jiang Yi, who ran back quickly, happened to see those scars, took a deep look at Chen Zhi, and didn't say anything in his mouth, but he had already praised him in his heart.
