Chapter 114: It's hard to speak
Lu Yu said: "I hope you will live in the town in the future and live in peace with the residents of the town." ”
"Of course, we dare to cause trouble?"
Qi Xiang smiled and said, "Lao Huang, we definitely won't cause trouble, isn't this Mr. Lu also worried, I'm afraid that you will have some friction with the people here." Lu Yu nodded, indicating that he meant that.
"Worried about what? We're outsiders, can we still bully their locals? They don't bully us outsiders. Huang Li glanced at Qi Xiang and then at Lu Yu, with a strange expression.
"What is this called, I think the people here are very friendly, how can they bully us." Qi Xiang was busy playing the round.
Lu Yu didn't speak, he felt that he had nothing to say to this Huang Li. This man is a little angry, and he is a little hostile to himself, or to the locals of Dunlin Town.
After a while, Lu Yu said: "That's okay, as long as you don't cause trouble, everyone can deal with it, and no one will trouble you." Lu Yu didn't want to be too polite with this Huang Li, he made up his mind, as long as these people dared to cause trouble in the town, he would definitely drive these people out of here.
Huang Li squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Yu, his eyes were very unkind. Lu Yu also glanced at him, as if he was not smiling.
Then Lu Yu went back with Qi Xiang, and on the way, Lu Yu said to Qi Xiang: "You fellow, you don't talk very well." ”
"Hehe, that old boy is a little impulsive, he has been in this temper for decades, don't worry about him."
"Hmm." Lu Yu frowned, and said, "It's nothing if you don't rush or not, as long as you don't make trouble, stay in the town." ”
"I don't think he dares to cause anything, Mr. Lu, don't worry."
Lu Yu thought to himself: "I'm afraid that you yourself are not at ease, that guy is obviously not the Lord of Anshun." ”
Qi Xiang suddenly asked: "Mr. Lu, people here say that you are a good skill, where did you learn this ability?" ”
"I don't have any skills, I just didn't starve to death." Lu Yu smiled and said, "Old Qi, don't call me 'sir', it sounds weird." Everyone in our village calls me Da Yu, so you can just shout like that. ”
"It's not good, you are a scholar, a capable person, and I respect a character like you the most."
Lu Yu shook his head: "What kind of character am I, I am also a little ordinary person in this world." You may want to stay here for a long time, and it's not good to call me 'sir' all the time, and I don't feel comfortable listening to it. ”
"Well, I'll call you later;' Big Feather'. ”
"That's good, the word 'you' has to be changed."
When Lu Yu returned home, he asked him how he was talking to the people in the town.
Lu Yu shook his head and said, "It's not good, those people are not as peaceful as these people who live on the edge of our village, I'm afraid that they will make trouble in the town in the future." ”
"What then? Why don't you tell your brother's family to go back to the village and live? ”
"I don't think they'll come back." And when Lu Ming came back, there was no empty room at home to settle them, but Lu Yu didn't say anything.
Even if Lu Yu didn't say it, Yan Jibai also understood the difficulties, he smiled and said: "Brother Yu, you see that now the natural disaster is gone, and the people of the Charity Society have also been driven away by you, wait a few days, our family will move back to the city." ”
"It's not going to work." Lu Yu hurriedly said: "This year is better than last year's, but it's still the same mess outside, I don't feel at ease when you go back." Besides, there is no food to buy in the city now, and it is inconvenient to eat and drink. I think you still have to grieve Brother Yan for a while, at least until the yamen opens, and then Brother Yan can you consider going back. ”
Yan Jibai sighed and did not speak again.
In the blink of an eye, it is the autumn harvest season, and Lu Yu's family is going to be busy again. First, they went to the ground to break corn, except for Mrs. Yan, the other four people all went to the ground, and with the experience of the past two years, the Yan family is now also good at working in the field.
After a busy day, Lu Yu and a few people carried tools and carried the corn they had broken in the afternoon home, and when they passed by the village dirt field, they saw a group of people gathered together, noisy, and didn't know what they were doing.
Lu Yu and Yan Jibai don't like to watch the excitement, but Yan Xi'an's sister and brother are different, as soon as the two put things on the ground, they came over to listen to the excitement. Yan Jibai instructed them to go back in a while.
After Lu Yu and Yan Jibai returned home, they waited for a while, but the sister and brother had not come back, and he also went out to the clay court.
Before he got close to the crowd, Lu Yu heard a woman shouting: "Fifth Master Lu, my man is dead, and no one helps me, why can't I ask them for help?" "This woman's name is Li Dafen, and her man also died in the world of the dragon crocodile entering the village last year, and her children are still young, but the family has a lot of fields, so she can't help but ask the group of northerners for help.
The old people in the village naturally didn't want outsiders to be involved in the production activities of the villagers, and Lu Wuye said earnestly: "Li Dafen, you are still young, what kind of good people will this group of homeless people be?" You're calling it a wolf into the house. ”
Lu Yu thought to himself: "There are good and bad outsiders, and Lu Wuye can't generalize about them. ”
"I don't care if I'm a good person or not, I just know that the grain in my field is about to be harvested."
Someone said, "Then you can also ask someone from our village to help." ”
"Please? Five catties of grain a day, are you willing to help? ”
"Five pounds? You dream! ”
"That's it, who is willing to help you work for a day with five catties of grain......"
Li Dafen said to Lu Wuye and the old men: "Look, who is willing to help me? Who will help me? If I don't invite them, who else can I invite? It seems that Li Dafen has made up his mind, and he doesn't feel that he is wrong to ask outsiders for help.
"What do you say, woman? Why can't you listen to people? Don't invite them tomorrow, let them go back and forth from wherever they want, or don't blame us for being polite. Someone in the village began to say heavy things, and Lu Yu felt that if the men of Li Dafen's family were still there, these people would definitely not dare to be so vicious, and they would not dare to be vicious to that group of outsiders.
Li Dafen is not a bully either, she sneered a few times, crossed her waist and said: "If you want to drive people away, you go by yourself, I don't dare, I'm a woman." ”
"As long as your mouth is strong, you will say, see what you do in the future." This group of people may have felt that there was no way to convince Li Dafen, and then turned their attention to another woman, another woman who also asked outsiders for help, her name was Zhang Guilan.
Zhang Guilan is Xu Kaifu's daughter-in-law, her man was the first in the village to be bitten to death by a dragon crocodile, Lu Yu still remembers the miserable appearance of Xu Kaifu's bitten limbs.
Zhang Guilan is timid, she usually doesn't talk much, but after her man died, she talked even less.
Someone said to Zhang Guilan: "Guilan, you have always been honest, why did you follow Li Dafen in a daze today?" Those outsiders, are you the ones you can provoke? ”
Zhang Guilan lowered her head and did not speak.
Another person said: "Guilan, I grew up with your old Xu since childhood, you just listen to my advice and let those people go, we don't need their help, okay?" "These people don't want helpless women to ask outsiders for help, but they don't want to help. Lu Yu felt that they were too undisciplined.
Unexpectedly, although Zhang Guilan looked soft and weak, she was not really weak, she didn't raise her head, and said: "If any of you like to talk about it, I can't care about it." ”
An old man surnamed Cheng said: "Alas, Guilan, how are you the same as that Xu Dafen, what kind of person is she, don't you know yet?" ”
"Second Master Cheng, what are you talking about? Who am I, Xu Dafen? I'm walking right in the village, who do you think can gossip about me? Li Dafen was obviously unhappy.
Cheng Erye is the elder of Cheng Changsheng's house, in fact, he himself has a bad reputation in the village, and his relationship with his neighbors is even worse, and there is no one in the village who treats him. Cheng Erye said again: "What are you messing around here, who has talked to you?" Anxious white-faced blind noisy, noisy and noisy, get out of the way for me. ”
However, Li Dafen is not a widow who is easy to bully, she pointed to Cheng Erye, and said to Lu Wuye and several other old people: "A few grandfathers and uncles, look at it, what is Cheng Erye's name, there is no man in my family to bully, only orphans and widows." Hey, what kind of life do I call it, a good man was bitten to death by a beast, and the remaining orphans and widows were bullied by the people in their own village, which still doesn't let people live, and doesn't let people live......" As he spoke, Li Dafen sat on the ground and cried, kicking his legs while crying.
"Dafen, don't cry, who let us die." Zhang Guilan wiped her tears to comfort, and it seemed that there were still a few women who had no men and were secretly wiping their tears.
"Guilan, I'm bitter in my heart, I didn't have a father or mother when I was very young, I raised my younger brothers and sisters alone, and finally married an honest man, who knew that he was a short-lived ghost who was hated, did you say that my life was too hard and smelly, and I was dedicated to my own family......"
Lu Yu also felt that this Li Dafen was indeed very hard, it is estimated that it is precisely because of her hard life that the hardships she has experienced since childhood have developed her strong character that is not afraid of people and does not admit defeat, and women with this kind of character are often difficult to have any good popularity in the village.
"Don't talk nonsense, what is the people in the Ke family, there are people who want to bully us. You don't cry anymore, save people from laughing. Zhang Guilan could also see clearly that although Li Dafen was crying sadly, there were few sympathetic villagers around, most of them had impatient expressions, and some even had disgust on their faces.
"Don't make any noise, you two asked outsiders for help, have you discussed it with the people in the village? It's not that you don't know that the world is so chaotic these days, and people outside can be provoked casually? Lu Wuye spoke again: "I advise you two, let's quit people, or don't stay in our village, don't invite women who cause trouble in our village." Lu Wuye didn't speak for a while, and when he opened his mouth, he said cruel words.
