Chapter 9: One Blood

Mother, at noon, did the village chief and uncle all come over?

He opened the door of the cupboard here, and asked his mother that his mother was washing rice there to make dinner, and when she heard her ask, he said, at noon, two tables were set up, and all the people were invited, and your aunt came to help me cook, and everyone was very happy to eat, so it would be fine, the girl nodded when she heard him say this, and then took out the leftover food from the cupboard, and took out some fresh ingredients, and then let's start making dinner now, and wait for dinnerBefore the workers were to disperse, my father would give them all the wages they were due for today, and it would be the old man's turn.

I saw that the young man took out a large number of rosters of different thicknesses from his body and put them on the table, and the girl strode over.

Picked up the rosters and looked at them one by one, and said very surprised, don't you tell me that after I fell asleep last night, you went out alone again.

He stared at the young man and asked, but the young man said with a smile, since you want to play, then of course you want to play a full set, hearing him say this, the girl has already been shocked that she can't even speak, there are more than a dozen books on the roster here, that is to say, last night, the young man went out more than a dozen times, oh my God, I really haven't found out that you have such a skill as him, the girl's eyes revealed a touch of brilliance, for those who are thieves, In front of the young man's eyes, it's just weak.

It feels very embarrassing to be praised by a girl like this.

I have always considered myself a fair and honest person.

But I didn't expect that I was going to be a thief last night, the girl saw the entanglement in her heart, patted him on the shoulder and said, there is nothing to be ashamed of, we are not going to steal money, just to borrow the roster of their respective families to take a look, our purpose is to help the thief, to save his family from the fire pit of the rich man's house, now we are doing a good thing, we should be proud, don't be calm anymore, smile and see, after the enlightenment of the girl, The young man's mood was also cheerful, the girl couldn't wait to sit there, began to rummage slowly, the young man said, you look here, I'll go get you some breakfast to eat, the girl promised but didn't raise her head to say, her eyes were still slowly looking on the roster, looking very carefully, even a word would not be easily let go, he was eating breakfast, while closing the roster, his face was very heavy.

The thief must have been deceived by the rich man, and his son was not studying in the academy at all.

The boy nodded and said, "Then what should we do next?"

The girl said here that the token given to us by the owner of the village in our hands will be carefully searched for in the academy later.

On the way back to the village, the girl was now completely sleepy, and sat side by side with the boy in front of the carriage, talking about it all the way.

When we went to the academy just now, the steward of the academy had already said that there was no such person in their academy at all, so where did you say this thief's son is now?

The young man also frowned, showing a puzzled expression, could it be that the rich man locked up the thief's son?

It's like they're locking up the thieves now, so they can do it without the gods knowing.

No one will find out in a short period of time, not to mention that the thief's son is still a child of a few years old, hearing the boy's words, the girl also thinks that this matter is very possible, so she will continue to say, should the two of us tell the thief about this?

The girl thought for a while and shook her head and said, don't tell him for the time being, if you tell him now, then he will definitely go to the rich man to question him face to face, if the rich man has some invisible secret, then it must be a surprise, let's help him secretly find out the whereabouts of his son first, and then tell him after the results, people are selfish, it is absolutely impossible to find things to do for himself when he is full, he keeps running around, but there is a purpose, Because this thief is now a stunt, he must give him some kindness, for the sake of the boy's future consideration, for him to prepare some resources that can be used, after listening to the girl's analysis, the boy thought for a while, and also felt that it was very reasonable, let's two good people do it to the end, since we have now intervened in this matter, then it is better to help him find out directly, I also very much want to know where this rich man hid his son?

The young man thought and said, the girl said, if you want to figure things out, then the rich man's home is absolutely not to let go, the young man frowned, the rich man's home is different from ordinary people, there are hundreds of people under their hands alone, I heard that there are a lot of very vicious big dogs in the yard, if the two of us go to his house, we must find a very appropriate opportunity, absolutely not rash action.

The girl nodded and said, of course, we want to help this thief, but we must not put our lives in danger, we must find a good opportunity to sneak in, the sun has also set, and the sunset in the sky seems to be burned by fire.

The children rode the buffalo and sang songs in their mouths, and the carriage slowly arrived at the entrance of the village, passing by the construction site of their own home, just in time to catch up with the father and these workers to finish work, and saw the girl and the boy coming back from the county government, the father was very happy, you actually came back in these two days, but the action was very fast, it took two days on the way back and forth, and stayed in the county government for a day, and the speed was really fast The girl smiled and said, since the matter has been done, of course, it must come back, I specially bought some specialties in the palace, and waited until the evening to send them to my grandparents and these friends, he went on to say that now is not as good as the era in which he lived before, the traffic is very underdeveloped, and the people in the village want to go to the town to catch the market, they must get up early, if they want to go to the county seat, I am afraid that they may not be able to go several times a year, and there are some people such as the old lady and the aunt.

It is estimated that I have never been to the county seat in my life, not to mention the county government that is far away, so this time I went to the county government, and the girl will definitely buy some more distinctive things and give them to these relatives and friends in the village, my father nodded and said, or will you do something, then you go back quickly, your mother has to keep talking to you several times in the past two days, and after dinner in the evening, these workers all dispersed and went home.

The girl asked her father, has the butcher's family expressed its position in the past few days?

If they agreed, then they would have to send all the money as compensation, and if they didn't, then he would have to ask the town's catcher to have a good meal, and let the butcher stay in the prison for a few more months, and the smile on his father's face disappeared when he heard the girl's words.

The woman's eldest brother had already come to me and promised to be private, but they asked if they could let you reduce the money a little more, and they couldn't take out so much money at once, could they have a little less, and then what did you say?

Father said, I have already told them, I can't make decisions about this matter, everything will wait for you to come back, the girl laughed, Dad, what you said is very right.

Just now, when he heard that the butcher's family came to the door to bargain, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and he was really afraid that in the past few days when he was not at home, his father's kindness had flare up again, and he agreed to the butcher's house.

For a person like the butcher's family, not a penny can be given to him, if you give a few taels of silver, they will definitely not be grateful to you, but will only resent you more in their hearts, thinking why don't you don't want all these silver, if you give it all.

As long as they apologize to themselves, then they will be even more arrogant and rampant in the future, thinking that you are a good bully, and they will definitely play bad tricks on you in the future.

So this money is definitely not missing at all, and they can take it all out at once, so that their families know that they are afraid, and it is also a warning to those sons.

If you still dare to provoke yourself again if you still dare not give up, then it will not be a matter of taking some money.

We didn't say that the money was casually wanted, the girl here carefully explained to her father and mother, the money is in it, but our uncle's family still has the compensation of the three families of the teenager, they even want to bargain, it must be no way, let these younger brothers wash up and go to bed, the girl and the mother came to his house together, and divided the things brought back from the county government into several parts.

The old man and the old woman have a share, the eldest uncle's family has a share, the two cousins of the fourth uncle's family are also counted as a share, the blacksmith's family and the uncle and sister-in-law also have to take out a share, and the village chief and a few respected elderly people in the village will also have a share, this era is the kind of feudal family system, the village chief and these old people talk very much in the village, if he wants to do the business bigger and bigger in the future, then his rear must be stable, In this way, it will be very convenient for him to talk and do things after winning over the village chief and them, mother, I will send them gifts from these families tonight.

But the rest of these can only be sent to tomorrow morning, the girl said here, the mother nodded, it's dark tonight, my mother will accompany you to send them over, that's fine, the girl stood up while agreeing, the mother and daughter set these gifts went to the front yard, mother, you go to send all the gifts of the uncle and the fourth uncle to them, grandma here or I go, let's go separately and do it faster.

There are too many rules in big households, and there are a few people guarding the side door here, and the sedan chair has been carried over.

All the people greeted them, and some people turned around and went back to the courtyard to report, and the firecrackers had already sounded everywhere, which was the beginning to welcome the newcomers, and these subordinates were all young men, and their eyes were very curious to look at the sedan chair.

It was very easy to be let go, there was no check-in at all, the girl kept shaking the handkerchief in her mouth, and followed the sedan chair very generously, and walked into the yard together, but the young man behind was about to walk in, at this time one of his subordinates said loudly, you stop me, he walked over while talking, very suspicious in the young man's body kept circling, why did you keep your head down?
