Chapter 54: High Fever

If it is in the county government, as soon as these two things are put in front of everyone, the discerning person will know whose fault it is, and then the face of the Liu family will be completely torn.

Patriarch Liu looked at Village Chief Liu as if asking for help, and then looked at Lizheng, but neither of them answered, avoiding their eyes and just pretending not to see them.

The pain in Chungui's waist became more and more intense, and she gritted her teeth: "Patriarch, I don't want to embarrass you, as long as you are fair." ”

She closed her eyes and supported her with Zhiping Zhimin's small body, and the two children were also intimate and supported her steadily.

"Zhixing is the hospital exam today, and now that the first exam has passed, I just want to deal with this mess before he comes back."

These words are tantamount to throwing a thunderbolt in the crowd.

They all forgot that today is the college exam, and the two children in the spring family have reached the age of age, Zhixing is one, and Qi You, who was the top of the children's exam, now lives in the Liu family.......

Patriarch Liu's face froze.

A few women who were whispering just now asked this time: "Spring girl, let's know that this is Zhongxiucai?" ”

I tried it for the first time, and tomorrow's re-examination is only the second ranking, and the name of Xiucai is already appropriate.

Chun Gui nodded almost invisibly, she didn't plan to use the name of Zhixing Qiyou, but now her body can't stand it, and she can't stop sweating, this matter is over early, she has to go home.

In the past few decades, there have been a few talents here, four of the five are only able to stop at the show, and there is still one Qi Laoxiu who is unwilling to be obsessed with fame and fortune, so he simply does not take the exam. Although they have a private school here, the name of Xiucai is precious. I didn't expect that the first Xiucai after Qi Xiucai's generation over the years turned out to be Zhixing, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally someone came out to speak.

"Patriarch, you have to uphold justice today, Zhixing has studied hard in poetry books to add glory to our Liu family, but the land at home has been robbed, what is the reason!"

"That's it, Liu Gui can do everything to sell land and gamble for money, who still believes that he can help the juniors farm the land, and he brought a group of gangsters over."

A group of people inside and outside finally began to completely fall on the side of Chungui, but Chungui was not very happy.

First Qi You was sold, and then there was land grabbing, she was beaten by the board to complain, and the clan still wanted to make big things small, and it didn't get better until she moved out of the name of Zhixing, and she was becoming more and more discouraged about this place.

Cai's was always paying attention, and he also saw the discomfort on Chungui's face, and hurriedly signaled to Lizheng's daughter-in-law, replaced the two small ones, and supported them one on the left and one on the right. Compared with Zhiping's crying and sobbing appearance, Zhimin at this moment looked down, collected his tears, and gritted his teeth to support the spring return on the side.

Chungui's feet were soft, and he took off most of his strength with confidence.

On the other side, the two brothers Liu Quan and Liu Gui were all anxious at this time.

Liu Gui glanced at Liu Quan: "Patriarch, Brother Quan's matter is a certainty, but I didn't really rob her land, you can't ......"

"Liu Gui! What do you mean, you! Liu Quanzuo was about to slap it over.

Patriarch Liu had two big heads, so he simply blackened his face: "You two shut up for me!" ”

Chun Gui avoided his eyes, half-lowered his eyes and didn't look at their dog-eat-dog posture.

Patriarch Liu was silent for a moment, and said angrily: "That is the case, Liu Quan Liu Gui has no responsibility as an elder, and he will be punished here for thirty boards!" ”

"Thirty boards?!"

The two brothers immediately shouted.

Patriarch Liu was no longer able to take care of this face, so he didn't say anything, but the village chief turned his back and snorted coldly: "Thirty boards can't be beaten, is it possible that you two want to go to the yamen and be beaten by the board?" The board of the yamen is not good! ”

The two looked at each other and then silenced each other.

Thirty boards are beaten, and you can lie in bed until the end of spring planting, this punishment is not big or small, but it is also an attitude, and if anyone wants to bully the Chungui family in the future, they will have to weigh the character of Chungui, which would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile.

Liu Daliu and the two of them each took the board, and a few young people helped to detain the two, and after a while, the sound of the board and the screams came one after another.

The woman who was watching the execution sneered and said: "Chungui has been beaten by ten boards but is silent, but you two big men are in this posture, and they are laughing to death!" ”

The two brothers are idle masters on weekdays, how can they listen to the ridicule of others, Liu Gui scolds Liu Quan again when he is in pain: "It's all you who have this bad idea!" Beat me up for nothing! ”

After hearing this, everyone scolded a few times, daring to love this land grabbing and Liu Quan's share!

Liu Gui is not a thing, Liu Quan is not a thing, he deserves to die of these two brothers!

Chungui only saw half of it coldly, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Grandpa Lao, the village chief, helped me observe the punishment, I was not feeling well, so I went back first."

Only then did everyone notice Chungui's miserable white face, and they thought that she was a woman who had been beaten by ten boards, and she must still be suffering at this moment.

The village chief hurriedly said: "Hurry up, Ah Zhen quickly send the person back, go to Lao Li to buy the ointment, you work hard to take care of it." ”

The village chief swept around and swept to Li Zhicun: "Use a donkey cart to get over faster!" ”

Li Zhicun was a little clever this time, and hurriedly trotted out to pull the donkey cart.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law also got into the car, hugged Chungui back, trying not to touch the wound on the waist, Cai hugged the tearful Zhiping into the car, Zhimin had already gone up on his own, silently holding Chungui's hand, Xiaobao was also full of worry. A car of six people is finally settled.

There are people close to him, and Chun Gui can no longer endure it, and he loosens the strength of his whole body and lies on the lap of his daughter-in-law, and his consciousness begins to be chaotic after closing his eyes.

While urging Li Zhicun to hurry up, Cai touched Chungui's forehead with her hand, and this touch touched the cold sweat on her hands, she quickly wiped it clean with her cuffs, and she didn't react until she finished wiping.

"Auntie...... Spring returns seem to be heating up! ”

She changed her hand again to test it, and her forehead was hot after the cold sweat dissipated heat, it wouldn't be wrong, it was indeed hot!

When Li Zheng's daughter-in-law heard this, she hurriedly started to test it, and sure enough, her whole face was flushed.

Cai's was anxious and sobbing: "Early this morning, the street sells goat's milk taro, blowing a cold wind all morning, and when I came back, I entered the ancestral hall and was beaten by the board without resting, no matter how good my body was, I couldn't stand it!" ”

The two of them didn't avoid the three children when they spoke, Zhiping Zhimin Xiaobao listened to the whole process, and thought that Zhiping Zhimin and the two would be the same as when they first came to the ancestral hall, and they cried without the backbone after seeing Chungui suffer, but they didn't expect that the two children were only holding Chungui's hand while holding it, Zhiping still couldn't help crying, but Zhimin was unusually calm, and used his body to block the cold wind on one side of Chungui. Xiaobao looked at Zhimin thoughtfully.

Finally arrived at Xiaoliangshan, Lizheng's daughter-in-law and Cai's were busy carrying people into the room, and Li Zhicun was instructed to go to Dr. Li, but he didn't have time to arrange a few children for a while.

Zhiping was about to run inside, but Zhimin grabbed him.

"Zhiping is obedient, the second brother and Brother Qi You are not here, Aunt Cai has to take care of her sister-in-law, we can't make trouble."

Zhiping twitched and twitched, nodding as if he understood or not.

Zhimin hadn't wiped the tears on his face yet, so he wiped his younger brother's eyes first: "Let's guard my sister-in-law, just wait for my brother to come back, they are all afraid of the second brother and Brother Qiyou." ”

Zhimin is old, and after listening to the whole process from the ancestral hall to the home, he can understand what his sister-in-law did and what he did it for, and Patriarch Liu was able to make up his mind to punish Liu Gui and Liu Quan, just for the sister-in-law's determination to make a big deal and the second brother, Brother Qiyou's name of talent.

"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law will be fine." Zhimin comforted his younger brother and comforted himself. There is no sister-in-law and two brothers at home, she is the backbone. She was eleven years old, and this incident undoubtedly added a touch of tenacity to her fledgling heart.

After a while, Dr. Li arrived, because there was a difference between men and women, and he was a doctor who treated external injuries, so he gave the ointment for Cai and Lizheng's daughter-in-law to help apply it, as for the fever, it was too late to go to the town to ask for a doctor, and he also brought simple herbal medicines.

Chungui was lying prone on the bed and had fallen asleep, his body was thin and weak, and he looked sick again, Dr. Li shook his head.

"Several children have been raised strong, but they still have to take care of their own bodies in the future."

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law had a sour nose when she heard this: "How many times have I told this girl, but she is only focused on a few children, but she doesn't care about it at all." ”

Doctor Li sighed, he couldn't stay longer in the end, and left after saying some precautions.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law wiped her eyes: "Now that Qi You and Zhixing have also grown up, I have to talk about it when I come back." ”

As he spoke, he untied the coat of Chungui and prepared to apply the ointment, so Cai took the medicinal herbs and boiled them in the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Cai entered the kitchen, the firewood in it had been lit, and a pot of brown sugar ginger water was boiling in the pot, boiling with a gurgling voice, and it had been boiling for a while.

Cai's face was full of doubts, and the curtain of the kitchen was lifted, and Xiaobao, Zhimin and Zhiping came in with firewood in turn and put it on the edge of the stove.

Cai's was immediately stunned, a few children who were not very tall, Chungui and Cai's didn't let them work on weekdays, but today they made a fire and boiled sugar water, and they didn't know how the stove climbed up.

She was distressed and relieved, and let them go, and boiled the herbs in another saucepot.

After a busy period of work, the three children only handed over the sugar water to Cai, and entered the back room by themselves, Cai quietly went over to take a look, and the three children sat around reading and practicing calligraphy as before.

Cai wiped his eyes from the outside, and went back to the kitchen to bring herbs.

After entering, Lizheng's daughter-in-law had already finished smearing Chungui's medicine, and when she saw that the medicine soup was ready, she helped people up and fed them one by one. Chungui was still conscious, and drank all the medicine with nausea, and the unbearable bitter taste came up from her throat, which stimulated her to open her eyes.

Cai's and Li Zheng's daughter-in-law finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Cai Shi wiped her sweat, sniffed and said: "Tonight, I and my aunt are guarding you, Zhiping Zhimin is reading and reading, I don't know how well-behaved, Zhicun also asked for a day's work, Ming'er went to the county school early to pick up Zhixing and Qi You, the family has been arranged inside and out, you can rest assured." ”

Chungui nodded slightly and slept with peace of mind.
