Xiao Qi and Ah Fu entered Niujia Village, and the eyes of the people in Niujia Village were all staring at the basket in Xiao Qi's hand, and the blazing flames in their eyes were about to light the basket.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard of the cattle and sheep herd, the big cow and the second cow were overjoyed to see the mutton, and the daughter-in-law of the two brothers immediately grabbed the mutton and ran to the kitchen to work.

Yu Shi looked at the backs of the two daughters-in-law and said, "No, I have to go to the stove to watch it, I haven't seen them so diligent." ”

Yu Shi quickly walked to the stove with his little feet, and only the remaining cattle and sheep stood beside Xiao Qi and the others.

The cattle and sheep were a little unhappy, and complained to Ah Fu: "This mutton is too little, Ah Fu's nephew, I remember that your sheep are very fat." ”

Ah Fu is not good at words, and his face is red.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi said: "It used to be quite fat, but now people have nothing to eat, and the sheep are naturally hungry and thin." ”

"Your family should at least bring half a sheep over, why do you take such a little, and you are too stingy to do things, is this looking down on us or what?"

The cow and sheep picked up the steamed buns sent by the two and took a bite, and then continued: "The mutton is reluctant, and it is okay to send more steamed buns." ”

After all, it was an elder, Xiao Qi was too lazy to refute, and picked out all the steamed buns and put them in the basket.

"Uncle, the family is still busy, let's go back first."

After speaking, without waiting for the cattle and sheep to speak, Xiao Qi pulled Ah Fu and left.

It was already late when Xiao Qi and Ah Fu returned to the village, and the villagers finished drinking the mutton soup and set their eyes on the old cattle of Xiao Qi's family.

This cow has been raised for two years, and Liu Dahe originally thought that it was too hard for Liu Laosan and his brothers to help with farm work.

Liu Laosan and his brothers kept their promises and often helped Xiaoqi's family do farm work, Liu Dahe thought in his heart that with the old cattle, Liu Laosan and his brothers could save some effort.

So I bought this old cow, when the farm was busy, the work of the little seven family was done, and the old cattle was the turn of Liu Laosan's family, and Liu Laosan's family was used up and then lent it to the villagers, of course, the villagers would give the little seven families some food as a reward every time they used it up.

Now, in the courtyard of Xiaoqijia, more and more people are surrounding the old scalper.

"This cow must be hundreds of pounds."

"It looks like it's more than a few hundred catties, enough for the village to eat for several days."

……

Several of the women were carrying scrawny children in their arms, and when Liu Dahe saw this, he felt pity and agreed to the villagers' request to kill the cattle.

Liu Dahe just let go of his mouth here, and someone came to the door with a pig-killing knife over there.

Ah Fu stopped in front of the old cattle and did not let him kill, usually the livestock at home are Ah Fu is feeding, he has a lot of feelings for the old cattle.

Peach Blossom Niang stepped forward, "This is a stockpile, not a person, and there is no farm work to do now, the people in the village are starving like this, how can your family not save it?" ”

Ah Fu burst into tears, "I have given so many rabbits to you to eat, just let the rhubarb go, the rhubarb has helped you all do the work." ”

Peach Blossom Girl: "Yo, this is also called rhubarb, it's really rare." ”

The rotten duck egg walked over and grabbed his mother, "Mother, don't follow the blind mix, go, let's go home." ”

On the way back, the stinky duck egg whispered: "Mother, Xiao Qi promised to give our family half a bag of grain." ”

Peach Blossom Niang was very remorseful, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I made a fuss like this, will Xiao Qi not give that half a bag of food." ”

Stinky duck eggs: "Mother, don't worry, Xiao Qi's words count."

Here, Liu Dahe stood in the courtyard and was in a dilemma, not knowing how to decide.

I didn't expect the old ox to kneel down on the ground in front of the yard, and the two cows still had tears in their eyes.

Ah Fu looked even more sad, and asked everyone: "You can eat the old cattle who help you work today, and you can eat your relatives tomorrow in order to live." ”

Liu Dahe saw that the cows knelt down, and he was a little unbearable in his heart, so he discussed with the old patriarch whether he could not kill the old cattle first.

The old patriarch spoke, "The natural disaster a few decades ago, the scene of cannibalism has not never appeared, this matter will be discussed another day, let's disperse first." ”

Very early the next morning, Ah Fu woke up Xiao Qi, "While everyone hasn't gotten up yet, sister, help me put the old scalper into the mountains." ”

Xiao Qi reminded: "Brother, there are wild beasts in the mountains, and they may not be able to live in the mountains." ”

Ah Fu: "But I definitely can't survive in the village, sister, if you help put it in the mountains, we will do our best, otherwise I won't be able to sleep, I haven't slept all night, and the big yellow eyes are always looking at me." ”

Xiao Qi looked at his brother Ah Fu carefully, I don't know when my brother's face seems to be more and more like his father Liu Dahe, and his personality is even more similar.

Xiao Qi was very conflicted, the old scalper helped the family do a lot of work, and he really couldn't bear to eat it, but if he didn't kill the cow, the village would definitely make trouble, who could tell her what to do?

"Okay, I'll go, but you can't go with it, it's dangerous to have wild beasts in the mountains."

Seeing Ah Fu nodding, Xiao Qi first moved a few bags of grain from the cellar and put them in the utility room, and then led the old scalper to the entrance of the village.

Liu Dakui and a few people kept watch at the entrance of the village all night, and at this time, several people leaned against the tree and were in a state of semi-sleep.

Xiao Qi made a shushing gesture to the old scalper, and then quietly took the old scalper to the depths of the mountain.

When they parted, Xiao Qi stroked the head of the old scalper and said: "My brother is very reluctant to you, and I am also a little reluctant, put you in this deep mountain, I hope you can live, there are many beasts in the mountain, you must take care of yourself." ”

"We humans are very life-conscious, and I understand that you don't want to die."

Seeing that the old scalper nodded, Xiao Qi was dumbfounded......

After Xiao Qi returned to the village, he helped Niu make breakfast together.

The villagers were very angry when they heard that Xiao Qi had sent the cattle to the mountains, and they blocked the door of Xiao Qi's house and scolded.

Some of them set their eyes on the horses, and Ah Fu stood straight in front of the horses, "Horse meat is not delicious, my family will not kill horses." ”

Xiao Qi saw that the old patriarch was also in the crowd, so he took out five large bags of grain from the utility room, "This is what Aunt Xi and I donated to everyone, old patriarch, you will preside over the distribution." ”

The people in the village suddenly quieted down, and the temptation of these five big bags of grain to everyone was still quite great.

After the old patriarch commanded the people to carry the grain to the ancestral hall, and everyone received the food in the ancestral hall in a hurry, the long-lost cooking smoke rose from every household in the village.

Xiao Qi stood in the courtyard and looked at the cooking smoke coming out of the side, and sighed: "It's good that the village can be calm for a while." ”

In the afternoon, many villagers ran to the utility room of Xiaoqi's house, looked inside, and saw that there was only half a bag of grain left, so they left quietly.

Xiao Qi said to Liu Dahe at night, "Dad, we still have a lot of grain in the cellar. ”

Liu Dahe was taken aback, "Then why don't you take it all out and distribute it to the villagers?" ”

The cellar is usually used to store vegetables, and Liu Dahe generally does not go down, so I don't know about food.

Xiao Qi snapped his fingers, "Dad, we have to keep some for ourselves, and we have to send a little to the uncles of Niujia Village, and donate the rest to the village later, Aunt Xi's cellar is also full of grain." ”

Liu Dahe thought about it for a while, and said, "Send a bag of grain to your grandfather in the evening." ”

Xiao Qi smiled, "Got it, Dad, I'll send it over after it gets dark." ”
