537 Famine and Spiritual Fountain 13
The crying in Huang Jinbao's house has never stopped.
The villagers wanted to follow up with Bao's daughter-in-law to ask him what he was going out for and where he was going to take the little girl. But until Jinbao's daughter-in-law fainted from crying, they never found a chance to speak.
At this time, a barefoot boy ran from behind, shouting that the four brothers had run away.
Not only did the people run away, but they also robbed the rations of several nearby families and ran away with the tools to dig the road!
The old son of the clan suddenly shouted angrily: "Shameless villain! ”
"Where did they go, did you see them?"
The barefoot boy replied, "See! They went to the mountains! ”
"Impossible, impossible." The long-tongued woman immediately retorted, "There is a big white tiger on the mountain, it is very fierce, how many of them can be its opponents?" ”
"The four brothers of his family have great strength, and they have killed wild boars before, maybe they can really be killed by them!"
The village chief sighed: "If you really kill it, you won't have to worry about the tiger running into the village and harming people...... But there was a fork in the road up the mountain, and it was not clear which way they were going. ”
The clan elder also came over, and said after consideration: "It's normal for a few of them to grab rations, but what do they want to do when they take away the things that dig the road, is it possible that they want to rely on the four of them to dig a way out?" ”
"It takes strength to dig roads, and the little food they grabbed is only enough to eat for a few days? What should we do after eating, and then come and grab us? ”
The patriarch's son's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "In this way, then according to what we discussed before!" If we receive the rations of each family in the middle of the village, we will live around these things, and we will not be able to watch the food? This is also the meaning of the mountain god, everyone should not object, right? ”
He added: "Otherwise, when the four brothers come to grab food, you won't be able to leave anything behind, and maybe you will be injured by them and dragged away, then it will be ......."
The implication in this statement is very strong.
The villagers who had witnessed the wreckage just now turned white, and the crowd was still reciting one after another.
In fact, the truth is that this is true, the four brothers are strong and strong, and when they are united, no one is an opponent, and the most important thing is ...... They have lost their conscience, and they will really eat people!
“…… Good! I'll go back and get the food, you say, where to put it?! "Finally, some villagers were moved.
The elder son of the clan was very happy, and turned his head to discuss with his father and other clan elders.
Because the villagers live scattered, if you count by location, it should be Axiu's house in the middle of the village. But Ah Xiu just hanged himself at home, which was unlucky, so he chose the long-tongued girl's house next door.
In the end, only three particularly stubborn and populous families were left who refused to participate, and the rest went back to move their belongings.
The elder son of the clan entered the courtyard of the long-tongued woman's house and made a circle with bricks, which was used as a collective granary.
And several clan elders sit at the gate of the courtyard, and a person who can write is responsible for recording: how much food each family gives, how much each meal will be distributed in the future, who it will be given to, or how much it will be used when eating together, will be remembered clearly.
In this way, the villagers can rest assured.
The courtyard was crowded with people until the evening, and finally when it was time for dinner, the villagers gathered together.
The grain has been handed over, and now there is finally no need to hide it, for fear of exposing the food in his house.
Therefore, everyone can cook openly and openly.
The women of the village boiled several buckets of sticky rice porridge, and the group of people had been eating dry food for many days, and this meal was the most delicious meal. After eating, everyone talked on the spot, and seemed to find a trace of warmth before the famine.
……
Where did the four brothers go?
It was indeed up the mountain, and their destination was the mountain temple.
Milk Candy saw them coming from a distance, projected the image into the sea of knowledge, Lan Shuying saw that they were fierce and vicious and looked like they wanted to seek revenge, and raised her eyebrows and said, "The one who came is not good." ”
"And what do they want to do?" Milk Candy asked.
"Just look at it. Tiny, Lulu, you go back and hide for a while. Lan Shuying stood in the curtain and watched the two girls walk hand in hand into the small room next to the back door.
The four brothers came in.
The Boss removed the pickaxe from his shoulder and slammed it on the ground with a thud.
He dragged his pickaxe to the statue of the mountain god, and his anger did not subside, "You are the god of the mountain, hmph, aren't you powerful, no matter how I think you are a broken stone!" also pointed out the maze, ahh ”
Before the words fell, he picked up his pickaxe and directly smashed the head of the mountain god statue!
The round stone head smashed into the wall by inertia, cracking a small half, and then rolled down, all the way to Lan Shuying's feet.
The fourth child found her feet exposed outside the curtain, "Brother, there is someone there!" ”
Lan Shuying walked out unhurriedly and said, "I am waiting for the four of you here on the orders of the mountain god. ”
The boss smiled and raised his pickaxe again, with the intention of smashing it down without saying a word.
He recognized this girl, who was the child daughter-in-law that Huang Jinbao helped buy into the mountain a few years ago.
To his surprise, in the face of his threats, the girl remained calm, as if she did not care about personal life or death.
"Hmph," he said, putting down his pickaxe, "then tell me, what are you waiting for us to do?" ”
As for the mountain god she said, he didn't believe it, look at what it was on the ground, the head of the mountain god!
If it weren't for some bullshit mountain god, he would be eating meat happily at home, how could he run around outside?
Besides, if someone else passed the word, maybe he would still listen to it, but it was Huang Aren's dog, could he believe what he said? also said that the eight achievements of collecting grain are that Huang Aren himself wants to eat with his mouth, and he is a group of fools!
Lan Shuying said: "I know you don't believe me, then I'll say a few things first, and you listen to me quietly." ”
"This first thing, under the steps in front of your main house, hides a jar of life-saving money left by your ancestors. How much money there is, I will write it on this cloth for you, and you can compare it after digging it out, if it is not right, I will let you dispose of it. ”
As she spoke, Lan Shuying took out the strips of cloth that had been drawn with charcoal and handed it to him.
The boss twisted his brows and took it, and immediately wanted to open it, but she stopped him, emphasizing that he should check it and look at it again, he said unhappily: "Lao Tzu is looking at you here, don't you want to delay time!" ”
Lan Shuying ignored him, and said to herself: "The second thing, remove your father's card, and chisel the wall behind it, inside is a cellar with four bags of rice. ”
The boss was skeptical, "And what about the other one?" ”
Lan Shuying stared at his eyes and chuckled, "There are also the sins that you have created." ”
She told the story of Ah Xiu breaking into the door that night, the brothers went out to kill Huang Jinbao, and hid the body in the firewood room, and the boss suddenly shed a layer of cold sweat.
