Chapter 3 Ah Huang has revenge
The small courtyard of Grandpa Wang's house next door was crowded, and the noise attracted the neighbors to come and watch, and Grandma Wang's voice was very loud, which made Ye Feng, who was standing at the outermost part of the crowd, really hear it.
"You said that you are a carpenter, you are really a carpenter, and you will be paid 800 yuan for food and shelter. If you don't agree, you don't want to live and eat, but you want a thousand. I said that I wouldn't eat at my house, but every afternoon there would be seventeen or eighteen white flour buns in our house, who ate them? Lao Wang and I are busy working in the fields all day and night, there are only you and Ah Huang at home, not you who eat, is it Ah Huang who can't eat? This basket of steamed buns is more than two meters high, can Ah Huang carry it? The big guy gives a review, more than a dozen white-flour buns a day, this is more than one person's meal, right? You didn't eat? Could it be that the steamed buns will grow wings and fly away on their own? Grandma Wang's words were bitter and mean, and the carpenter who said it was red-faced and speechless.
"Eating is eating, manly man, what's not to admit? They are all people from the same town, who doesn't know the name of your Zhao carpenter? Don't hurt your peace for a little thing. "The village chief Zhang Dazhu played an official tone, and his wife was Grandpa Wang's nephew, Queen Xiaotao, so he naturally spoke to the Wang family in his heart.
"But I really didn't eat it." Carpenter Zhao had a bitter face, and the tears of grievance were about to fall, two hundred yuan, in the countryside, this is his own ration money for a month. These two coffins have been made for seven or eight days, and they can be delivered in these two days, how can the Wang family turn their faces when they talk about money!
"Eight hundred is eight hundred, I see that you have to be busy for two days this time, let Sister-in-law Wang kill a chicken, buy a fish, and give you two bottles of Lao Baigan, and eat the two hundred yuan back in two meals, right?" Zhao Ergou, the sheep herd in the village, said happily that he has always had this attitude of being indifferent, and the big guys are not surprised.
Seeing that Carpenter Zhao was not talking, Zhang Dazhu thought that he had agreed to Zhao Ergou's proposal, so he shouted for everyone to disperse, and said to Grandma Wang with a haha: "Then that's it, Aunt Wang, you can spend a little money, kill a chicken, buy a fish, and fry a few side dishes." I have wine at home, I'll go home and get a few bottles, and have two drinks with Uncle Wang and Carpenter Zhao in the evening, what's the knot that can't be solved, right? After Zhang Dazhu finished speaking, he happily ran home to get the wine.
The village chief said so, and the matter was basically set in a tone, everyone dispersed, and Grandma Wang was busy killing chickens and buying fish. Ye Feng remembered the scene he saw out of his body that afternoon, and he couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart. The young people were all enthusiastic, and they couldn't see who was wronged, so they called Carpenter Zhao to his room and told him what he saw. It's just that he didn't say that he saw it out of his body, which was too ethereal and unbelievable, so he said that he went to Grandpa Wang to borrow something and happened to see it.
Carpenter Zhao was shocked when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that it should be the old dog Ah Huang, but it couldn't help but make people wonder how it took off the bamboo basket that was more than two meters high. After a period of entanglement in his heart, he finally couldn't give up the 200 yuan, and when he pushed the cup with Zhang Dazhu and Lao Wang in the evening, he told the whole story. Zhang Wang and the others also realized it after hearing it, and they couldn't believe it. So we made an appointment to secretly observe tomorrow afternoon, catch the real culprit who stole the steamed buns, and give Carpenter Zhao an innocence.
At noon the next day, Zhang Dazhu came to Wang's house in the name of rubbing rice, brought the high-tech video recorder in the village, installed the battery, adjusted the angle, and then put it on the top of the cupboard, just enough to photograph the place where the bamboo basket hung in the middle of the kitchen. After doing all this, Lao Wang and Zhang Dazhu left, leaving Carpenter Zhao alone to work in the yard.
When night fell, the lights came on, and the old Wang and his family came back from the field. After frying the fish, stewing the chicken, patting a cucumber, boiling a plate of spiced peanuts, and two green vegetables, Zhang Dazhu and Carpenter Zhao were called over to eat together. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Dazhu pressed the playback button of the video recorder in front of everyone. There are a full eighteen white-flour steamed buns in the bamboo basket today, if it is a person, no matter how much you can eat it, no one can eat so many steamed buns in one meal, right? Really~ was about to come out, and several people were staring at the screen with bated breath.
At first, there was nothing unusual, about three ~ o'clock in the afternoon, the kitchen door curtain was lifted by Ah Huang with his head, and it shook its head and drilled into the kitchen. After walking around to make sure that there was no one in the kitchen, he pushed the mahogany table under the bamboo basket with his legs upright, and then jumped up and hugged the bamboo basket containing steamed buns, uncovered the white cloth covering it, and devoured it......
Seeing this, Grandma Wang, who was both angry and ashamed, picked up the burning stick in the kitchen and rushed out, and ran to the kennel to beat her wildly. While beating back, he said: "I killed your greedy old dog, I originally thought it was the carpenter who stole it, but I didn't expect it to be your old dog." If it weren't for Carpenter Zhao's idea to record the video, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought that you would do such a thing, why did you raise this white-eyed wolf! She chattered, beat Ah Huang with a stick, and hit Ah Huang's head with blood, and her hind legs were slightly lame before she withdrew her hands and went back to the house.
Ah Huang licked ~ his wounds, staring fiercely at Carpenter Zhao who was sitting and eating in the kitchen, and a green light appeared in his two dim eyes. Because of guilt, Lao Wang and Zhang Dazhu saluted Carpenter Zhao for two more cups, and while apologizing, they said that they must make up the two hundred yuan when they settle the bill, and they can't treat Carpenter Zhao badly. Carpenter Zhao was wronged, and his heart was also refreshed, and the wine was naturally happy, and the three of them drank until midnight.
The dizzy Zhang Dazhu walked home humming a little song, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the few street lamps in the village did not know which naughty child had broken with a slingshot. His family lives in the east of the village, and the way back is not too far, but in order to save time, he still chooses to take a small road. He walked through a half-man's tall cornfield and circled to a fishpond. Suddenly, he was in a hurry, so he stood on the ridge of the fish pond to relieve himself. Walk ten minutes further to get home, he even saw that the house was still lit, it must be his baby daughter left the door for him, this girl hurts her father the most.
"Whoosh!" A dark shadow shook for a moment, Zhang Dazhu rubbed his drunken eyes, and asked boldly, "Who?" Who is there to scare Lao Tzu? No one answered, a night wind blew, and only the rattling of corn leaves could be heard.
Zhang Dazhu lifted his pants and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he was forced to fall into the fish pond next to him. I just thought about getting up and swimming to the shore, but I didn't expect to be thrown into the water by the black shadow. No matter how good his water nature was, he couldn't hold his breath for a long time, and he struggled to open his eyes, and he saw a pair of green eyes. It's Ah Huang, who wants to drown himself in this fish pond for revenge?
"Ah Huang, yes... It's Carpenter Zhao, Carpenter Zhao... Say you stole the buns. He struggled desperately, and was thrown into the water by Ah Huang, and fluttered a few times, but finally failed to stand up again.
The village chief died, and was found drowned in the village's fish pond in the early hours of the morning. The police came to record a confession, and the forensic ~ doctor's firm result was that he fell into the water after drinking and died. Lao Wang and Carpenter Zhao were taken into the police station to find out the situation, and they were not released until near noon. Originally, it could be completed at noon and take the money and leave, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and Carpenter Zhao sighed in his heart. After eating lunch and starting to work, I accidentally saw Ah Huang's eyes, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. Could it be that this old dog secretly murdered the village chief Zhang Dazhu? It is said that animals can understand human nature after living for a long time, and looking at its white eyebrows, it should have lived for more than ten years.
I was busy until more than nine o'clock in the evening, and finally finished the two coffins. Lao Wang did not lose his trust, and also handed a thousand yuan to him. "Let's rest for the night, it's not too late to come back tomorrow morning!" Lao Wang said.
"No need." Carpenter Zhao said: "I have to send the money back, and finally make up enough for the child's tuition, and the school will start in two days, so I can't delay the child's studies." He was determined to leave, and Lao Wang was not forced to stay. Carpenter Zhao sorted out the tools, put them in the corner of the yard, and said that he would pick them up another day. Seeing that the kennel was empty, he couldn't help but keep an eye on it, and found out from the pile of tools the heavy Tang knife he used to walk at night for self-defense, wrapped it in a black cloth and carried it behind him.
The crooked crescent moon hung in the air, like a sharp scythe emitting a cold light. The road was dark, although there was a strong flashlight on the helmet to illuminate, but walking alone on this empty and uninhabited path still felt panicked. Carpenter Zhao took off the Tang knife on his back and held it in his hand, thinking to himself that if the old dog really came to make trouble, he would definitely let it die under his own knife. When he was young, he was a soldier for a few years, and his skills were not bad, but later he was forced by his father ~ to learn carpenter and take over his father's craft.
The journey was fine, but when he was about to enter his village, suddenly a dark shadow appeared in the middle of the path ahead. The black shadow squatted on the ground, and a green light appeared in his eyes, it was the old dog ---- Ah Huang. A large pit appeared in front of it, and the size of the pit was more than enough to bury a living person. In the middle of the night, in the wilderness, an old dog with green eyes dug a huge pit large enough to bury a living person and waited for him. How could such a scene make Carpenter Zhao not feel palpitations? He stood still more than three meters away from Ah Huang, looked at the big pit, and looked at Ah Huang squatting on the edge of the pit, and felt a chill in his heart. Is this old dog trying to bury himself alive here tonight?
