Chapter 40: The Night After Tomorrow
It rained heavily for half a day, and finally showed a declining trend, a section of defeat, a section of defeat, and at midnight, it was a long time to expose the bright moon, reflecting the earth a piece of clear, the most is a good time to steal chickens and dogs and kill people.
The two of them, who were still resting in the mountain hut, were suddenly woken up by the sound of a dog barking. Wang San has always slept very shallowly, he was the first to wake up, he lit the lamp in the dark, put his coat on his body, and pushed the door out.
The group of people patrolling the mountains stepped on the stagnant water, and were walking into the house with a smile, as if they were coming back from a trip, and the old man Ding led by him was the first to say, "Brother Wang, there is nothing abnormal along the way, and even the wild beasts have taken shelter from the rain." ”
Old man Ding had worked with Wang San's parents, and to this day, he still stays on the tea mountain to guard with his own tendons and flesh, and he feels like an old man in the last dynasty, and calling Wang San a brother is enough to save face.
Wang San arched his hand and said, "Uncle Ding is fortunate to be patrolling the mountains, and I will take someone to go the night after tomorrow." With a hearty laugh, Old Man Ding had blown out the lantern and went into the house to rest.
The moon and stars are scarce, and it is still that tea mountain. When he was ten years old, as soon as he learned that his parents had died on the river, he was brought here by his uncle, but as soon as he left, the strange man with a smile asked, "Would you rather stay on this tea mountain, or go back to the city to live with another child." After five or six years, my uncle finally came back with the silver and ended the long road to the tea mountain.
I didn't expect to return to this place today for such a reason, and gently twist the buds on the stump of a tea tree, which is still the usual touch, and the craftsmanship engraved in the memory is not so easy to forget.
The tea mountains of the Ma family are like patched mushroom umbrellas, and the places where patches of tea are mined on the once rocky mountains can be seen from a high place, especially when the moon is shining.
Sent six people with dogs to inspect the tea mountain by firelight, Wang San only left Wu Qing to watch the movement of the tea mountain, and blew the lamp, and everything outside was seen more clearly. Fierce beasts are afraid of the light of fire and always avoid walking, and so do the sneaky nightcrawlers, who do not want to avoid the beating firelight, and plunge headlong into the hunter's burrow.
The two people in the black shadow saw it clearly, the person who was sneaking around was none other than the always sturdy Chunsheng, a figure half a head taller than Wang San, bent over, hunched back, sometimes getting up, sometimes hiding in the stump of the tea tree.
Wu Qing blew a whistle, and after a while, the person who pretended to be patrolling really ran over with people and dogs, not only the six people with the lights, but also five people in the dark shadows rushed up, blocking Chunsheng's road.
How could it be possible to give in, Chunsheng has always been strong, and he punched the two people who stepped forward, and the two of them hugged their heads and ran around; Another punch landed on the head of the dog who came to protect him, and with a whimper, the dog coaxed, and only dared to bark in the back; Another punch hit the soft clothes, and it hit the way of this group of people! Before he could retract his fist, he was thrown to the ground, and there was no clean place on his body from the water on the ground, and there was no clean place on his body from the fists of his brothers who were close to him in the past, so he finally gave up resistance and surrendered.
Looking up at the sky, it is the time of Yin, it is the deepest time of the night, the tiger roars in the distance, the dog barks nearby, and today's tea mountain is not lively! Wu Qing handed over the rope that had been prepared earlier, and everyone tied Chunsheng up, and the people who grew up touching the loaches together couldn't touch this face, so they walked in front with the lights on.
Everyone dragged people to the Ma family's courtyard, no matter who they were, once they had bad intentions towards this tea mountain, they hated them like murderous parents, and there were no less punches and kicks along the way. When I arrived at the place, Second Uncle Tong was already waiting there, and when I saw Chunsheng, I was crying and shouting, so I didn't feel distressed! Whimpered, "Why are you doing such a thing!" How can you be worthy of your dead eldest brother and dead father. ”
Chunsheng only parted his face, and didn't look at this former second uncle, so angry that Second Uncle Tong was angry and sad, and sat on the ground with a pale face. Wu Qing, who knew each other on the side, had no choice but to support Second Uncle Tong, comforting and beating his back, and finally saw a trace of blood on the second uncle's face.
When there was a commotion at the gate, there was a carriage coming back outside, and it was Mingxin who went out in the morning, and there was a sleepy Pinyuan, when he looked up and saw the kidnapped person, he instantly came to his senses, and asked, "Are you Tong Chunsheng!" "Hot face sticks to cold ass, phew! A mouthful of thick phlegm spit out onto Pinyuan's clothes, as if he had been beaten just now, and began to laugh hideously.
Pinyuan was scared enough! Sitting on the ground, those guys came over and beat Chunsheng again, and didn't stop until Ma Bin came out.
"Press into the lobby, don't pestle by the door, let passers-by see the joke." There are no passers-by in this vicinity, and at this time, it was obvious that they saw the embarrassing thing just now that Pin Yuan was angry, and when they were sent in, he said to Pin Yuan, "Such a big person, do things without moving your head, if it weren't for the coachman who remembered that you were in Dongguang Village, you would stay there until dawn!" I also have to ask people to find you and can't sleep all night. ”
At noon, I was frightened outside the hut, and I ate all the cold air outside, and when I came back, I was spitted out, and how generous people were eager to point to the sky and yell, "You are against me!" Mingxin in the back felt sorry for his brother, and went straight to the house to change clothes.
It was a long night, but tonight passed very quickly, Wang San washed away the filth of his body, and when he came out of his old clothes, it was already the first white in the East, and the day and night were changing. Chunsheng still didn't say a word in the lobby, and he still didn't waver in how Uncle Tong hated iron and steel.
"What kind of benefits did the Liang family give you?"
Chunsheng turned his head when he heard this, it turned out to be the 'Wang Dongjia' that everyone feared, dressed in clothes that the owner could wear, and he was like a handsome son, but they were all beneficiaries more than 20 years ago, but they had different fates, and he couldn't help but snort coldly, "It's no good, I also want your Ma family to be ruined!" Second Uncle Tong on the side hurriedly covered Chunsheng's mouth, where was the time, it was difficult to collect the water.
Ma Bin, who was sitting on the top seat, was already embarrassed, waved away the guys in the room, and said, "Say, how is this Ma family sorry for you." ”
Second Uncle Tong on the side kowtowed anxiously, and hurriedly said, "The owner, the child is not sensible, don't worry about him, if he is sent to the government, his life will be ruined." Chunsheng didn't appreciate it, "Spineless old thing, I dare to do this, I'm not afraid that he will send me to the government, I'll go there, and I'll burn down your house when I come out in a few years." ”
A slap went up, it was not the second uncle Tong who was hit by the words, but Wang San, and said viciously, "Don't think that we really can't cure you, and you don't want to send any of your wife and mother out!" ”
"Phew! You lackey! I just want to ask you, how much benefit did this Ma family give you, so that you worked so hard for him, for that little bit of nurturing grace? Then you are really pitiful, only you are kept in the dark, not knowing that it was your father and mother who exchanged their lives. ”
Ma Bin couldn't sit still a little, and reprimanded, "Tong Chunsheng, you can't talk nonsense here, I didn't spend money to raise a white-eyed wolf like you, I still want to not pursue you for the sake of your second uncle." Don't blame me for being so obsessed, there are naturally tools in the government that can make you speak, and when the time comes, let's see if the Liang family who gave you that little benefit will let you live in prison overnight. ”
