Above the court, Zhang Qingting continued to explain. "The black tiger has a temper and denies the six relatives, if the adults don't believe it, you can call the person who has raised mastiffs to ask."

Meng Zhan looked at the black tiger with interest, and deliberately asked Qingsong next to him, "Is this the same species as our family's Shenwu General?" ”

"Yes!" Qing Song replied without hesitation, "Mastiffs are brave and warlike, they can herd cattle, sheep and horses, if anyone provokes them or hurts their own livestock, they will fight with them, and they will not distinguish between winning or losing, and they will never die!" ”

Fuqing couldn't help but interject, "Adults can come and see, my black tiger still has whip marks on its body, if someone hadn't beaten it, it wouldn't have hurt anyone!" ”

"But one of your dogs hurt so many people in my family, how should I count it?" Xue An glared at Zhang Qingting fiercely, "Even if the dispute between the two parties is an accident, you should always pay for this medicine fee, right?" ”

Zhang Qingting raised his eyebrows and sneered, "That's up to you." How do I pay? ”

Xue An's chin raised, "Don't say that I ask for a price, you pay me twelve good horses, and twelve intact family members are!" ”

He has already calculated accurately, even this medical expense has to pay for the poor Zhang Qingting!

Zhang Qingting had already expected it in his heart, and said unhurriedly, "Uncle Xue, you can't help but open your mouth, right?" Since they all said that it was an accident, everyone is not a two-year-old ignorant child, it was you who frightened my family first, not to mention rescue, you should quickly call your own people away. But you didn't spare the dog there, the dog is not sensible, you hit it, of course it has to protect itself, what is wrong with it? To put it mildly, the twelve adults of your family and the big horse can't beat one of my dogs, and they are embarrassed to rely on my family for such injuries? ”

The surname is heard everywhere, indeed, the Xue family is also incompetent!

Zhang Qingting then argued, "Your family's men and horses were injured, but after all, they all came back. Heal and heal and heal and he But what about us? Two mares were miscarried, who will make up for this mistake? ”

"Are your two unformed horses more than so many of my family?" Xue An finally grabbed a handle, immediately.

Zhang Qingting was waiting for this sentence. "Yes! Two unformed horses are certainly not worth as much as so many horses. But Uncle Xue, please do the math too. If my horse gives birth to two ponies, how much interest will I pay? These two ponies have grown up, and in five years, how much should they be worth when they have another pony? They are born every year, and the ponies raised will be able to regenerate ponies in a few years, who will I pay for this loss? ”

The more she said, the more reasonable everyone felt, the Xue family's horses had all seen it outside, and all the horses used for riding and pulling goods were geldings, and there were no ponies, but the two horses lost in the horse farm were able to give birth. Calculate it like this, but Zhang Qingting suffered a greater loss.

Seeing that the onlookers couldn't stop nodding, Zhang Qingting knew that everyone was on her side, and put on a correct position and said, "Now that the drought is at hand, no matter what grievances our family and the Xue family had before, everyone only crashed into such an accident when they went to deliver water to the affected surname." So even if our family suffered some losses, we didn't blame anyone, we went back to clean up, and that's it. But I don't know why Uncle Xue, why do you have to go to court without reluctance? Don't talk about the things that delayed the two families. The most pitiful people are the surnames of the dry land, I don't know how your family arranged, our family is still sending water out today, but a few less loads! ”

The surname is all praised, in the end, it is the mother of the Xiucai family, more knowledgeable, look at the grievances like this, not only do not care about personal gains and losses, but also worry about the surname of the disaster, look at the mind of the people, and then look at the small belly chicken intestines of the Xue family, it is really a heaven and an underground!

Xue An's face turned blue and red for a while, and in order to fight the lawsuit today, he didn't even pack up his own people, and of course he wouldn't organize people to deliver water anymore. This hateful pig-killing girl actually took advantage of this and pulled the people's hearts to her house with clever words! But what? He knows what he has done, and he really can't come up with a favorable reason.

Seeing that the wind direction had completely turned, Zhang Qingting slowly made a last-ditch move, "This injustice has a head, and the debt has a master!" Tracing back to the source, but your family first startled my horse, which caused the rest of the matter, if you have to worry about right and wrong, I'm afraid we should be looking for you, right? Please also ask the county lord to make a clear decision! ”

Meng Zhan smiled indifferently, opened his mouth and left the verdict, "The two families send water, which is a good deed." Narrow encounters. It should have been polite. Unintentionally caught fire, frightened and fell off the horse. If you don't save people, you beat the dog. Livestock are not human, how can they know how to give in? You want her to pay for it, and she gives you silver. If you don't mean to, why win or lose? Settle the matter, go back! ”

"Good!" This judgment is witty and humorous, easy to understand, and the surnames are clear when they hear it, and they all feel that the county lord is reasonable, and applaud and support it.

Xue An was very angry, but he was unreasonable, if he continued to make trouble, it would seem that their family was deliberately causing trouble, so he had to lead the shopkeeper and a group of wounded soldiers back with a foolish attitude.

When he entered the door, he hit the shopkeeper with a big ear scrape, "This is your good idea?" You're going to pay for all of these horses! One less, I don't follow either! ”

The shopkeeper has followed the Xue family loyally, and has been abusing for more than ten years, and I don't know how many bad ideas and immoral things he has done for Xue An. If he messed up one thing, he was treated like this by Xue An, and he made a shameless face in front of the family, not to mention losing money. also made me lose face and went to my grandmother's house in disgrace! Since then, he has also been discouraged, and it didn't take long for him to find an excuse and go home. Xue Anzheng thought that he was getting older, so he didn't keep it, but cut his wings and lost an arm.

Zhang Qingting finished taking care of the things in the yamen, and then went home. Thinking about the poor things that the racecourse lacked, I added it back.

Zhang Facai saw that her face was haggard and tired, so he asked her to rest at home. wanted to sit in the battle for her, but Zhang Qingting didn't let her, "If you also leave, there will be a room of women and children left in the house, how can you rest assured?" It's more convenient for me to go there, it's not far from the horizontal, and I'll come back tomorrow! ”

I hurriedly ate a meal, and passed it again.

The He family also sent people to help, and after waiting for two days, the horses of the He family roamed around outside the fence, but they really hooked up with some impetuous young wild horses to come over and fight. Which ones can be left and which ones don't need to stay, each other has a number in their hearts.

In the early morning of the first day, suddenly a stallion of a herd of horses neighed at the morning sun and raised its front hooves in a very majestic posture.

Everyone's spirits were high, and He Yutang decisively ordered, "Set the horse!" ”

And he saw the stallion spread his hooves, and rushed out with the first horse. The horses behind seemed to have received orders, and they drove together, and they all rushed like bamboos.

The crowd avoided each other, only to use the fence to trap the horses that had already been in phase. These wild horses are much more courageous than domestic horses, and they do not have much difficulty to cross the fence, and the more they can't get past it, they directly break through the fence, and rush out like a flood that has opened the gate.

How to set the horses, He Yutang had made detailed arrangements in advance, and as their large army ran straight with the horses for half a day, they were really tired of turning over on their backs, and then brought back those horses that were on the set.

A little number, a total of twenty-one, He Yutang took ten horses, and left He Yufeng and two horse trainers to help Zhang Qingting tame and serve the wild horses, and then drove the horses back.

Zhang Qingting had already packed up a stable to accommodate these horses, and he was tired for several days, so he finally stopped for a while. She gave everyone a holiday in shifts so that everyone could rest.

Zhang Xiaodie thumped her sore neck, "Oh my God! Finally, I can go home and sleep peacefully! ”

It's really hard for everyone these days, and a few little girls are especially tired enough. Zhang Qingting also thought in his heart, when he was free, he should make two hairpin rings for each of them to make new clothes.

packed up his things and went back, but saw that Zhang Jinbao had already returned, and was anxiously looking at the mouth of the alley, seeing them, he hurriedly got into the carriage, "As soon as I came back, I heard that the racecourse was busy like that, and I wanted to go over but there were no horses and no cars, so I wanted to hire a car, and I was thinking about this night's work, so as not to spend that money to make trouble for you!" ”

Zhang Qingting smiled, "It's good that you have this heart!" It just so happens that you're back now, so let's go to the racecourse from tomorrow onwards, and change them all back to rest. Especially Ah Li, since he opened the racecourse, he hasn't come back to rest for a day! Mingzhu also remembered this matter, and told him tomorrow, no matter what he said, he had to bring people back. ”

And they should all go down and go to their own homes, and rest.

Zhang Jinbao told her in detail about the situation of going to Yonghe Town, the things have been purchased and returned, or the last time I went back to the store, I was still looking for the guy, and the second time I went back, it was more polite, the price was fair, and the things didn't pit them.

Zhang Jinbao also found some gadgets for children to play with, he looked at the novelty, interesting and easy to sell, and also asked people to recommend a few, and came back together. He arrived at home at noon, and Zhang Facai packed up and just put it out in the afternoon, and sold several of them.

This Zhang Qingting didn't expect it before, it was an unexpected gain. Think about it, they really don't have a place in Zaranburg that seriously deals in children's gadgets, they are all merchants carrying their burdens around the streets, buying them when they come across them, and there is no way to do anything if they don't run into them. If you can do this business stably, it will be a small amount of money.

was appreciating Zhang Jinbao's good thinking, but Zhang Jinbao smiled, "I'm nothing!" It's just a ready-made one, and I just come back with some things. Fusheng, they have a big harvest! In the past few days, he and Xiao Guo have visited the harness shop in the whole town, looking at each family, and coming back to discuss the whole night, I can't sleep if I don't urge! The manuscript paper can be so thick and thick, but it is the loss of being illiterate, and there are some things that I understand in my heart that I can't write. I helped them memorize what they could understand, and some of them couldn't understand, and only they understood what they could understand, so they could only remember it in their hearts. Both of them said that this time they would wait for the literacy class to open again in the evening, and no matter how busy they were, they would come to read and write, and let their brother-in-law report their names first. ”

Zhang Qingting nodded in kindness, but Zhao Yulan thought about it and asked, "There is also Aquatic Xiuxiu, if there is really no time during the day, can you come with him at night, it is always a month, you can be some first." ”

This one too! Zhang Qingting was also thinking that some children were entangled in housework and couldn't leave during the day, so if they were accompanied by adults at night, it would be okay to come to class together.

"When your eldest brother comes back and asks him to go to the academy to discuss, it should still be accommodating."

When it comes to Zhao Chengcai, everyone can't help but worry about it again, and I don't know what he is doing in the county, counting the days, there will be five or six days before he can come back.

Zhang Xiaodie looked excited, "When my brother-in-law comes back to show him, our horse farm has changed a lot!" ”

Zhang Qingting also wanted to report the good news in his heart, but he said, "What can he do if he sees it?" You can't give us a silver bounty! ”

"Eldest sister, you just talk about it, and you must be thinking more about your brother-in-law in your heart!"

"What do I think he's doing?" Zhang Qingting resolutely refused to admit it, diverted the topic, and the family talked and laughed and had dinner.

came back with a Zhang Jinbao, and pulled Yan Boqiang back to rest on the second day. Zhang Qingting saw that Zhao Chengdong didn't have much to do at night, so he also let him go back at night, and just come with them in the morning.

Zhao Chengdong was overjoyed, revealing a festive energy from the inside out. Lao Gao and their rough people joked, "It's not like going home to see your daughter-in-law, why are you happy like this?" ”

"What nonsense!" Zhao Chengdong's face was red, "No matter how happy you are, you can't get a share of the foal!" ”

After setting up the wild horses, Lao Gao and Lao Han and they were making a fuss about asking Zhang Qingting to divide their horses. That's absolutely! Although the two of them have made efforts to catch horses, if it weren't for the black tiger, where would they get it back? Zhang Qingting is good at talking, but he is not a glutinous rice ball, and he is allowed to defend and rub the round. But now I still have to count on them to work, and it is impossible not to take care of their emotions at all, so I thought of a compromise method, and when the foals are laid down in the spring of next year, give them a total of one foal, which will be regarded as a year's reward. No matter how the two of them divide each other, it's their own business.

For employees like them, they don't have the heart to wait for future dividends, with this little pony, the two of them can always share a few taels of silver after working for a year, which is already very satisfying.

Zhang Qingting privately told a few of his own little guys, as long as they work hard, don't talk about horses in the future, even building a house and marrying a wife are all done single-handedly, and several little guys are down-to-earth and more energetic.

For the future, Zhang Qingting also had a plan, and in another year or two, a few small guys came out, and they would replace the hired workers. Then there are newcomers, as long as they work for a short time, they are easy to manage, and they don't have the temper of an old man. At that time, even if the old and the new were treated differently inside and out, it was expected that there would be no more to say. In the future, I will slowly teach my own people to take care of things. In the long run, even if it is a big business, it is also orderly and organized.

In the next few days, although it was busy, after everyone took turns to rest, their spirits gradually eased up. It's just that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the slightest movement is covered in sweat.

Even the appetite of the animals is much worse, except for some food in the morning and evening, when it is cooler, the rest of the time they are lazy and do not want to move. When the people who go to Azalea Ping to deliver water come back every day, the sadness between their eyebrows is always a little heavier.

Zhang Qingting asked everyone in the racecourse to change their patterns every day to boil all kinds of porridge with steamed buns, and try their best to let everyone eat more, so that they can work hard. At this time, the pickles and kimchi made by Zhao Wang's were particularly popular, and they were appetizing, and they went down to a jar in a few days. Zhao Wangshi heard that she could help, so she worked hard to marinate a large vat, so that they could rest assured that they could come and get it.

Zhang Qingting went back every day, sent Zhao Chengdong home, and by the way, he went to Zhao's house to ask what was going on. Zhao Wang's family didn't have any other thoughts, that is, the renovation of a house, and the two of them were incense in the morning and evening, reminding their daughter-in-law not to forget every day.

Zhang Qingting felt the pressure, this old, obviously patriarchal, if he gave birth to a grandson in the future, if he was a granddaughter, it was estimated that it would be much worse. Don't talk about it from afar, and look at Zhao Yulan, you can know.

However, if it were my own child, you wouldn't have the final say! Zhang Qingting thought in his heart, if you take care of it, if you don't care about it, I won't let my child come to you to suffer this grievance!

And the Liu family, it really seems to have changed sex. Seeing them coming over again, he didn't say how enthusiastic he was, he was faintly polite, and he didn't say much, Zhang Qingting was a little suspicious.

This Liu clan has no proper place to go, if they leave their home and their future is uncertain, they should come and beg them to let them do more to be presentable. How can you be so calm? It seems that there is something wrong with it.

But now that Zhao Chengcai is not at home, Zhang Qingting wants to find someone to discuss, and he always feels that this kind of talk is not easy to say. Thinking that Zhao Chengcai will be back in a few days, let's wait and talk!

When I got home this night, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the room was stuffy like a steamer, and I was sweating layer by layer when I didn't move.

Zhang Facai couldn't stand the heat, so he had already moved all the bamboo beds to sleep in the corridor at the entrance of the second floor. That's the advantage of making the house taller, it's much cooler than the low place below.

Zhang Qingting relied on his identity and was afraid of mosquito bites, so he was still locked in the house, but he also opened the window wide to let in the stuffy air.

This night, she tossed and turned, until the fourth watch, she felt a trace of coolness in a daze, the pores of her whole body seemed to be opened, and sleepiness suddenly came up.

This night, when I really slept soundly, when I woke up, it was still dark, and I could only hear the crackling rain outside.

This thief, my God! Finally opened my eyes!

Zhang Qingting was very happy, not only for himself, but also for the surnames in those arid areas.

Downstairs, everyone got up late.

Zhang Facai breathed a sigh of relief, "It's rare to have a cool rain, I finally have a good night's sleep, and I just look forward to it coming down from now on!" ”

Who's to say it isn't! Everyone had breakfast, and those who should have gone to work went to work.

This rain, as if it knew people's intentions, kept raining. The drought and heat of the past few days have been diluted at once, but the horses are a little abnormal, and there are black tigers, running around, I don't know what they are busy with, and they always refuse to stop. There were also a few newly recovered wild horses, which kept snorting and snooping and snooping on the ground, looking very uneasy.

Yan Bo didn't understand what he meant, "Could it be that the weather is abnormal, hot and cold, and a little uncomfortable?" ”

No one knows about this.

Suddenly, there was a flash of white light outside the window, and then there was a loud crack, and a thunderclap fell in the sky, which frightened the horses in the stables, and the rain began to fall more and more.

The house was dim in an instant, Zhang Qingting stood by the window and took a look, good guy! The already gloomy sky was quickly shrouded in inky dark clouds, and it was as if a hole had been pierced that day, and it was not raining, but raining! The lightning and thunder rolled among the dark clouds, which was daunting.

The coolness brought by the heavy rain at the beginning has also disappeared at this time, and everyone can't help but have a worry in their hearts, when will such rain fall?

Because of such a heavy rain, there was no need to walk the horses or bring water, and after cleaning the stables and feeding the morning feed, everyone was idle in the workshop, looking up at the sky from time to time, bowing their heads and frowning and whispering a few words.

Suddenly, the black tiger rushed to the door of the workshop, yelled at everyone, and then ran a few steps to the northeast corner, and when he saw that everyone was not coming, he was so anxious that he ran back and shouted, and then ran forward.

What is it doing?

Zhang Qingting suddenly understood, his eyes widened, "Oh my God! The river is going to rise! ”

Before the words fell, Yan Bo had already rushed into the rain, led the flames, and rushed to the river in the pouring rain.

Black Tiger followed closely and stayed by the river, Yan Bo gasped as he looked at the turbulent Erdaogou!

The river was crashing against the waves, and it was rushing up the riverbank, and if the rain didn't stop, it would soon come out! At that time, their Divine Horse Farm, the original treasure land of feng shui, will become a country!

Yan Bo quickly rushed back, "Everyone come out and build a dam outside the stable, the flood is about to rush over!" ”

Zhang Qingting grew up in Nankangguo, and there are frequent floods every summer, so he knows how powerful it is.

She calmed her head for a moment and immediately said, "If the river really overflows, how big of a dam can we people build?" You can't stop it! The stables and workshops are already the highest places in the racecourse, and if even this place is flooded, what can we do? ”

"So what do you say?" Yan Bo was already drenched, and he yelled in the rain, "You can't take the horse into the rain!" This shower, I'm afraid that the disease that was finally cured will be in vain! ”

Zhang Qingting secretly clenched his fists and told himself that he must not panic! She rushed out to check the stables and workshop again, and Fang Mingzhu saw that she didn't have an umbrella, so she followed out.

(PS writes until midnight, then send it.) Hehe, happy reading! Why hasn't the weather warmed up yet? It's really cold, everyone should pay attention to keep warm. )
