"You'd better be smart, you need to know how to round things up!" Ma Rong clapped his hands, stood up and said coldly, all of them were gone.

When Zhou's last bit of consciousness was withdrawn, he vaguely heard Ma Rong's words, and without waiting for her to think about it, the whole person fell into the darkness lightly.

In the evening, the smoke of Du's ditch was everywhere, and he saw Du Huaibing driving an ox cart home. Yin had already brought the food to the table, and the soju to relieve fatigue was also put on the table. Listening to the old woman babbling about the morning, Du Huaibing was so angry that he couldn't drink the wine.

He scribbled two mouthfuls of dinner, pinned the cigarette stick to his waist, and after striking the gong around the village with a gong, he went to the ancestral hall with his hands behind his back.

However, in an hour or two, the people of Dujiagou all knew the news that Zhou's mother and son had stolen the bricks of the widow's brother and sister's house in the middle of the night and were tied up by ghosts. Throughout the afternoon, Dujiagou was filled with an inexplicable excitement, and every family had dinner early, just waiting for the ancestral hall to be opened to interrogate Zhou's mother and son.

Du Huaibing came early, but did not enter the ancestral hall directly, but squatted on the steps in front of the gate, smoking one cigarette after another, with a gong and a gong mallet wrapped in red cloth beside him.

Hearing the sound of the gong, the men, women and children came one after another, gathered in the open space in front of the gate, and whispered to each other in the gap between waiting.

Du Huaibing saw that the crowd was almost coming, glanced at the crowd, and saw that the Du Mei sisters had also arrived, so he stood up, knocked the cigarette pot on the sole of his shoe, and pinned the cigarette stick behind him again.

"Open the door!" Du Huaibing said in a deep voice.

Two men in the prime of life pushed open the heavy door of the ancestral hall, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured into the dark and dreary room.

"Ahh A man stepped into the threshold and saw Zhou lying on the ground unconscious, and screamed.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" The crowd of onlookers outside was in a commotion, crowded to get in and see the difference.

'Don't mess up, don't mess up!' While! Du Huaibing, who was in a hurry, picked up the gong and struck it vigorously.

The sound of the gong shook people's ears, and the villagers stopped and stretched their necks to look.

"Old woman, you bring Meizi in to have a look." Du Huaibing looked at Yin. The two men who pushed the door hurriedly retreated.

Du Mei was extremely reluctant, the Zhou family stole her family's bricks, so she didn't want to care whether she lived or died, but the patriarch named her, so she had to respond obediently, and followed the Yin family into the ancestral hall.

Zhou was lying on her side, Yin was busy tying her, Du Mei tried her nose, touched the pulse under her neck, and said, "Grandma, she's fine, she just fainted." ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a little bruise leaking from the placket of Zhou's clothes, and Du Mei carefully uncovered it, and a large piece of purple eggplant-like bruise came into view. Du Mei hurriedly pulled Yin's sleeve and pointed it to her.

"Ahh Yin Shi was surprised.

"Where's Du Shu?" Only then did Du Mei remember that she patronized to check on Zhou's family, but she didn't see Du Xuan's figure.

"Yes, their mother and son are obviously locked up here together." Yin Shi was also puzzled, so he looked around.

Du Huaibing stood outside and waited, and asked impatiently, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Zhou was knocked unconscious, and Du Xuan didn't know where to go!" Yin Shi hurriedly went to the door and replied.

Du Mei left Zhou and searched around the house, but she only found the severed rope and found that the back wall window had been opened.

Yin called the fat aunt in, and the two pinched the tiger's mouth, tossing for a long time, and then Zhou woke up slowly.

"Where's your Du bolt?" Du Huaibing said majestically.

Zhou was slashed by Ma Rong's hand knife, although she woke up, she could see that people were all ghosted, vague and fluttering.

"Bolt ......" Zhou suddenly remembered what Ma Rong said before leaving, and suddenly became startled, "He was still here just now, ah, where is my son?" ”

"Don't pretend! You think you can deceive me by using bitter meat tricks! Du Mei spun around, and his heart was clear.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're all tied up like this, can we escape? Where have you taken my son? Zhou was in a hurry and took a bite.

"This rope is neatly cut, and it is clearly cut by a knife, saying, who is your accomplice!" Du Mei held up the broken rope and asked aggressively.

"Joke, if someone comes to the rescue, I won't run away?" Zhou's heart was beating faster, and cold sweat was dripping on his face.

Du Mei grabbed her wrist and pressed it on her vein: "It's okay, what are you afraid of!" ”

"I'm afraid you'll hurt my son!" Zhou shook Du Mei away with force.

"Meizi, come out." Du Huaibing didn't want to

Entangled with the Zhou family like this.

"Du Xuan has fled, and the village has no ability to arrest him back, but as long as they see him, anyone who is Du Jiagou can enforce the clan rules on their behalf, and they will be punished with 20 lashes for stealing, and 30 lashes for absconding for fear of crime!" Du Huaibing said sharply.

The villagers looked at each other, this is a conviction before the trial.

"If you don't ask, you will condemn my son like this!" Zhou threw himself out frantically and was pulled by two strong men.

"This matter is already obvious because Du Shu escaped, if you are open-minded, where do you need to escape!" Du Huaibing shook his hand and stepped into the ancestral hall.

"Clan rules, please!" Du Huaibing's voice was cold, Rao is such a midsummer, and everyone who heard it was cold.

A strong man entered the room and took out a wooden box covered with a red cloth, and stood respectfully beside Du Huaibing.

"Blessed ancestors,...... The unfilial descendants were incompetent in managing the affairs of the clan, and there was theft. …… Punish it severely now to set an example! Du Huaibing knelt down in his robe, folded his hands, and prayed in a low voice.

"Execute!" Du Huaibing got up from the mat and said majestically.

Someone had already moved out of a wide bench and put it in front of the ancestral hall, although Zhou was tall and big, but she fainted twice a day, once she was frightened, and once she was beaten unconscious. Even though she struggled and shouted, she was still pressed on the bench by two strong men regardless of it, and her hands and feet were tied.

"Whew...... Syllable! The whip wrapped around the wind whistle and struck Zhou firmly on the back.

This whip is an ancestral thing, made of fine cowhide, for more than 100 years, soaked in the blood of many people from generation to generation, to this day, it is ruddy all over, like the best wax.

"Ahh Zhou screamed, and his body shook involuntarily.

The executioner swung hard, and the whip fell mercilessly on Zhou's body like a torrential rain, Du Mei's sisters watched coldly, Du Gui was too young and scared, and hid behind Du Mei, only sticking out half of his head to peek.

The summer clothes were thin, and Zhou's back clothes were ragged, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and the villagers were terrified.

Xie saw that Zhou stopped struggling, afraid that he had passed out in pain. Zhou's back was dripping with blood, and such stimulation made her stomach tumble, and the dinner she had just eaten rushed upward. She couldn't help it, staggered to the side, and spit out all the food with a "wow" sound.

Du Mei turned to look, only to see several women come forward to take care of her, helping to pat her on the back.

On weekdays, Xie Shi had already begun to stand on the upper hand at this time and say cool things. And today I was scared to vomit, which is really strange.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Du Mei suddenly remembered that when they just came out to scare the Zhou family last night, the Zhou family muttered, "Is it you?" She didn't remember that the third family she said was the Xie family, because the two of them had never dealt with each other, and they didn't like each other like cockfights.

Now it seems that this matter is still mixed up by the Xie family. But why did the Zhou family resist alone, and when did they reach a reconciliation?

Du Mei frowned and thought deeply, looked at the Zhou family, and then looked at the Xie family, and secretly thought, I am afraid that I will have to be more careful in the future.

Twenty lashes, those who watched felt that it was over, but Zhou felt that it was longer than a lifetime, she collapsed on the bench, sweat and blood dripping straight down.

"If there are any more traitors and criminals in Dujiagou, this is a mirror! Once it is verified, I will not spare it! Du Huaibing pointed to the next Zhou clan and said in a loud voice.

The villagers were silent, and they all held their breath. The air was filled with the smell of fresh blood, and flies and mosquitoes were swarming.

"Scattered." Du Huaibing saw fear and cringe in their eyes, he waved his hand, picked up the gong and walked away with his hands behind his back. The villagers followed suit, turning around and going home.

Yin called two women to carry Zhou back to her house, boiled salt water, and helped clean the wounds.

Zhou was beaten and fainted, and now the wound was cleaned, and the ointment was applied, and the pain in her heart was clearly biting her, and the heat and pain made her sweat profusely, and the straw mat on the bed was wet.

Du Huaibing's whipping beat the Zhou family, and more of the people's hearts. There are more people in Dujiagou who have bad intentions towards Du Mei's house, some people are worried about the bricks and timber that Du Mei bought, and some people are worried about the ducks that Du Mei stocked on the river beach!

Zhou's tragic situation shattered those small and dirty thoughts, and Du Mei had a few days to stop and concentrate on building a house at home.

After lunch that day, the second stunned man suddenly came in a hurry. He is on weekdays

Helping the eldest girl sell tea, going back and forth by carrying burdens, it is more difficult, Du Mei doesn't want them to come to the house to help.

"Dumay!" The second stunned person was not good, and he called his name and surname together.

"What to do!" Du Mei was busy in the kitchen and said angrily.

"How can you give my mother the bookkeeper!" The second stunned man was annoyed, looking like the puppy was trampled on with its tail fierce.

"If I don't give it to her, can she spare me?" As soon as Du Mei heard this, his anger rushed up.

She ...... What's wrong with you? The second stunned voice was short, knowing his mother Mo Ruozi, what kind of virtue his mother is, he couldn't be clearer.

"She said I took your money to build a house, and I worked hard with me on the day of construction." When Du Mei mentioned this, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

"My wife didn't tell me this." The second stunned man immediately dissipated without a trace.

"Did she force you to get the money back?" Du Mei glanced at him.

"yes, yes, otherwise, I wouldn't know she took the booklet." The second stunned nodded like pounding garlic.

"The money is yours, you can take it if you want, and besides, Ye Qing is not the one who opened the money bank, so he looks at the money for you." Du Mei concentrated on the task at hand.

"When the money goes into my mother's hands, it has become her coffin, and she can't pull it out." The second stunned man said with a bitter face.

"Your mother doesn't think you're unreliable, otherwise why would you be so desperate for money." Dume sneered at him.

"Yes, yes, I used to be unreliable, but even if I stole it, I didn't miss her a mouthful of soup to drink." The second stunned man pulled his hair and said.

"Money is a person's guts, and when people are old, they always want to have some money. The big girl didn't give you some tea money, you coaxed her, it's over. Dumay rolled her eyes at him.

This man has lived for half his life and doesn't know what money is, but now he is following himself to earn some coolie money, and he has changed his sex and loves money like life.

"I used all that money to buy food, what else does she want!" The second stunned man is really out of luck with his mother.

"All she wants is to settle in her pockets steadily, you might as well give her all the daily loose money and let her buy it." Du Mei thought for a moment and said.

"It seems that this is the only way." The two were stunned and scratched their heads.

"How's business going in town?" Du Mei hadn't been to the stall for a few days, so she asked.

"The tea business is okay, but the old customers still think about what you do. Speaking of this, the eldest girl was still very aggrieved, she said that she obviously did what you said, and I have tasted it, it is no different. Those who are tricky are just eating the difference. The second stunned man talked about the things in the stall, and his eyebrows immediately danced.

"How's the ice business?" Du Mei asked again.

"Business is good, Qinghe County has opened a new drunken immortal building, come to us every day to book, a reservation is four or five yuan, make Brother Niu very happy!" The second stunned man said with a grin.

"Drunken Immortal Building? I seem to have heard it somewhere. Du Mei turned her head and thought about it, but she really couldn't remember who had told her.

"Zuixianlou is the ancestral property of a big family in Jiangling City, just to open a branch in Qinghe County, you often read those tabloids, probably mentioned there." The second stunned said, while helping to clean up the tables and chairs, these days, there are only him and the big girl in the stall, so busy that he can't even be lazy, he has learned to have work in his eyes and work in his hands.

"The old man said last time he was going to start selling tofu, did he go?" No matter who opened it, Du Mei didn't want to dwell on these things that had nothing to do with her, and only cared about those who treated her sincerely.

"Go, go. The old man bought a new ox cart, and sometimes he happened to be able to carry us for a while. The two were stunned and smiled, and the smile was meaningful.

"He has just recovered from a serious illness, and it is also appropriate to buy an ox cart and save some leg strength." Du Mei nodded and said.

"Hehe, this is on the one hand, on the other hand, he is reluctant to let Sister Chunya run away." The second stunned laughed.

"You narrow ghost, I'll tell Chunhua to see how she cleans you up!" Du Mei laughed too.

"Don't mind, don't tell her, I'm afraid of her." The second stunned man begged for mercy with a bitter face.

Because Qian Maofu had already responded to this family business, the old man took the birthdays of the two of them to the Zen temple and asked the old master to calculate a hexagram.

The Qian family is very happy, they only have this one baby pimple daughter, Chen Qian Village and Dujiagou are not far away, and it is convenient to come and go. The old man can endure hardships, and he respects Qian Maofu and Chen even more, and they gradually ignore the age gap between the old man and Chunya by ten years. 2k reading web
