Chapter 22
The sky is already gray, and although the evening breeze is biting, it has a little more indescribable freshness than the slaughter of winter.
Sister Li Yue took Mo Yi out of the West House, and went straight to the thatched hut in the back mountain of Zhenwei, passing by the old well at the end of the town, and saw Zheng Tu and Zheng Tu of the Zheng family were supporting the old lady of the family, chatting with a few people who fetched water by the well.
Mrs. Zheng wore a bun on the back of her head, sticking to her forehead, a blue flower large-sleeved long coat on her upper body, a coat with a fur collar and a armor, and she was not wearing a skirt on her lower body, but dark blue wide-legged pants.
"Sister Yue'er, go home." When Zheng Tu saw Sister Yue'er, she said hello.
"Well, Grandma Zheng is good, Second Uncle Zheng, Aunt Zheng is good." Sister Li Yue hurriedly responded, Zheng Tu was the second child of the Zheng family, and then Sister Li Yue greeted: "It's cold, why don't the second uncle, aunt and Grandma Zheng bake the fire in the house." ”
"Just after dinner, the old lady said that she wanted to go out for a walk, save the accumulated food, besides, this activity, the hands and feet will be warm, you sisters and brothers go back quickly, it will be dark for a while, the road is not easy to walk, be careful on the road, if there is anything, yell at it, this is the ground of our Zheng family, I said hello to the boys in the family, the villagers, you sisters and brothers, let them take care of it." At this time, Zheng Tule said hehehe.
Recently, due to the state funeral and the new emperor's accession to the throne, his pig killing work has been temporarily suspended.
It is said that it was Mrs. Zheng's words, saying that the death row prisoners in the prison were amnesty, and the pig snorted and chirped, and he had to be pardoned, although Zheng Tu was a big and three coarse, looking at the fierce man, but in Liuwa Town, everyone knew that Zheng Tu of the Zheng family was a big filial son, and if the old lady sent it, there would be nothing that should not be.
Therefore, in Liuwa Town, which old lady wants to teach her children and grandchildren a lesson, she will inevitably take Zheng Tu as an example.
You know, that Zheng Tu was not born to Mrs. Zheng, back then, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng got married, and after more than ten years, Mrs. Zheng had nothing to do, so Mrs. Zheng made the decision and helped Mrs. Zheng pawn a concubine, and in the next six years, the concubine gave birth to four sons in a row, and then Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng gave the concubine a large sum of money, and the concubine went back to the original home with the money to live a small life.
The four sons were raised by Mrs. Zheng, back then, when Mrs. Zheng died, many people in the town wanted to see jokes, the four sons were not born to Mrs. Zheng, how filial can you count on?
After the death of Mrs. Zheng, the four sons were as filial to Mrs. Zheng as ever, which made the town sigh that Mrs. Zheng was a good tutor and a good life......
I really sigh that there are some things that I can't envy.
At this time, Zheng Tu was talking to Sister Li Yue, and pointed to the stretching Zheng family's mansion in the mountains of Zhenwei, more than thirty or forty rooms, such a big piece.
Originally, the Zheng family also had a house in the town, but their family killed pigs, and as soon as the pigs were killed, the blood flowed everywhere, which attracted a lot of gossip in the town.
And Sister Li Yue's house is on the mountainside behind the Zheng family's house, very close to the Zheng family, as long as you stand on the back mountainside and roar, the Zheng family's people can hear the sound in the house.
"Thank you, Uncle Zheng, I know." Sister Li Yue replied with sincere gratitude.
Although there are such and such fights in the town, most of them, looking at the orphans in their family, are willing to help, and this is the neighbors.
"Let's go back then." Zheng Tu waved his hand, Sister Li Yue nodded, waved goodbye, and then took Li Moyi to continue walking on the country road at dusk.
On the one hand, Mrs. Zheng kept staring at Sister Li Yue's back, watching the two sisters and brothers walk away.
"Mother, what are you looking at?" Zheng Tu asked curiously.
"This big girl of the Li family is capable, like me." Mrs. Zheng muttered.
Zheng Tu and his wife are happy, there are many men in the Zheng family, except for the daughter-in-law who married into the door, all of them are monks of one color. Mrs. Zheng has been thinking about her granddaughter for many years, and finally it was empty, so she fell into a problem of not seeing a female baby, as long as she saw a girl in the town, she would inevitably look like her one by one, and she couldn't wait to go home to be her granddaughter-in-law.
"By the way, this big girl of the Li family and our iron man are quite a good match in terms of age and appearance, or find someone to talk to Mrs. Li." Mrs. Zheng said with her presbyopia eyes open.
"Mother, you forgot, Tie Han has already made a marriage, it is the Zhang family in the capital, this girl Zhang is the official lady, and he is the matchmaker of the eldest uncle." On the side, Zheng Tu's lady hurriedly said that Tie Han was Zheng Tu's second son.
"The boss is too, a family like ours, what kind of official daughter to marry, isn't this uncomfortable?" Mrs. Zheng muttered a little unwillingly. The Zheng family was born as an executioner, although there is a lot of money, but in the eyes of the nobles, this is a cheap business, and marrying the daughter of an official family is not equivalent to marrying a Buddha to offer.
"Mother, what kind of official daughter, that is also the matter of the ancestors, in fact, it is a broken household, the family is very poor, and they can't even eat a full mouth, in this capital, there are not many others, that is, there are many officials, that one bamboo pole is swept away, you can sweep seven or eight, and one more may be a prince or something, not unusual, the Zhang family is willing to marry their daughter to the iron man, that is, to see that our family's life is quite solid, that Zhang girl and our family iron man do not say anything else, at least not hungry." Zheng Tu explained.
Mrs. Zheng nodded, and then opened her eyes a little dizzy, and grabbed Zheng Tu's hand: "Otherwise, it's an iron pillar." ”
"Mother, Tiezhu is not in a hurry, besides, the Li family released the word a few days ago, Sister Li Yue wants to keep the great filial piety for Li Xianggong, and she will not talk about marriage for three years." Mrs. Zheng Tu hurriedly dispelled Mrs. Zheng's thoughts, Zheng Tiezhu is the third in her family, not to mention that Sister Li Yue is one year older than Tiezhu, and more importantly, there are five younger brothers and sisters in that family, what a big burden this is.
This begging a daughter-in-law to enter the door can't be a loss-making deal. However, when it came to the daughter of the Li family, she looked at Li Yue'e and Li Yuejiao, and pondered, she could find a time to talk to Mrs. Li.
Here, listening to Mrs. Zheng Tu's words, Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to take her thoughts. Muttered, "It's cold, go home." ”
At this time, in the mountains.
The evening breeze was biting, Sister Li Yue walked hurriedly with her sleeves closed, Li Moyi followed, and the stomachs of the two were already growling. It seemed to have smelled the aroma of Yue'e's cooked rice between his noses.
"Sister, hurry up." Mo Yi spread his feet and ran forward.
Sister Li Yue answered, and was about to speed up her pace again, when out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a tree stretching out of the middle of the road in front of her, jumped a black shadow, and subconsciously pulled the back collar of her second brother and dragged him back: "Second brother be careful!" ”
Then I heard a loud bang and a scream of 'ouch'.
Then, before Sister Li Yue and Li Moyi could react, a few half-sized bastards rushed out of the small forest on the side, holding a fishing net in their hands and covering the entrance of the cave.
But it was the demon kings in the town led by Zheng Dian.
At this moment the man who had fallen into the hole screamed and tried to climb out, so he made the net tie strong, and cried out in anger: "What are you doing, let me go." ”
"I'd like to ask, what do you want to do?" Sister Li Yue also reacted at this time, looking at the thick wooden stick that fell at the same time as this person on the side of the road, this is the murder weapon.
Picking up the wooden stick, and then looking at the sturdy noodles that were tied, Sister Li Yue still didn't know what was going on?
This man must have intercepted the road, and I don't know when he was eyeing him, but at this time he actually hid in a tree, waiting for himself and Mo Yi to pass by, first jumped down from the road, wanted to stun one first, and then deal with the other, and the memory was very thorough, but he didn't expect that someone in this place happened to dig a trap for prey, so that his wishful thinking fell through,
It's just that Sister Li Yue is also strange, this is a road, who will dig in here to catch prey? But were wild beasts passing by on the way of this man?
"I'm just passing by, you guys let me go." The man with the raw face said in a hurry, struggling in the fishing net, but who would believe this.
At this time, the Zheng family, who heard the sound at the foot of the mountain, hurried over.
"What's going on?" Zheng Tu took the lead.
"Dad, this person wants to rob the Li family's sister, and it just happened to fall into the trap we dug in." Zheng Tiezhu said at Zheng Tu with a smug face.
"No, no, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." The man hurriedly waved his hand. Looking at the Zheng family's group of men, their faces turned white with fright.
"Misunderstanding? We hid in the small forest on the side, we watched your every move, what did you just say in the tree, by the way, you said to grab the silver and go find a powder. Zheng Dian said triumphantly, but he didn't know what the powder head was, turned around and asked the two boys behind him, the two boys didn't know, and asked Zheng Tu very curiously.
On the other hand, Zheng Tu patted his head angrily, the powder head is Sister Yao, these boys are half the age and not big, and he is not easy to explain if he knows a little.
And at this time, the person who was tied up slapped his mouth twice, a little bitter, how could he know that the praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow magpie is behind. However, at this time, only death will not admit it.
Zheng Tu is even more gloomy, this is his Zheng family's territory, before the old man Li brought gifts to the door and asked them to help take care of it, at this time, if something happens to Sister Li Yue here, then his Zheng family's face will be lost.
Therefore, seeing that this person did not admit it, he didn't say a word, picked up his fist, and beat the man severely, several Zheng family boys also used secret hands, and even Li Moyi, who had always been wooden, kicked a few times with the crowd.
"Don't fight, don't fight, I'll say it." The man was not beaten at all, and begged for mercy after two blows.
It turned out that this person was the nephew of the flower matchmaker, he came from Tongzhou, and he was called by the flower matchmaker, and during this time, he followed the flower matchmaker to do the business of the house, and he was a stealing chicken and dog on weekdays, and today he followed the flower matchmaker to the Li family, at first he wanted to destroy Li Yue's good thing of making money, but in the end he didn't destroy it, and he was jealous of the rich family's money, so he circled around the Li family, originally wanted to attack the rich family, but later, I saw Li Yue's sister and brother coming out of the West House, He was still holding the bulging bag tightly in his hand, knowing that there was goods, so he had a bad idea and wanted to rob the money halfway.
I didn't think about it, but I fell into a trap and was caught by the Zheng brothers. The man was rather depressed.
"By the way, how did you happen to dig a trap here?" Zheng Tu asked the reason, but it was strange, it is said that the flower matchmaker's intention to see wealth is also temporary, how could a few of his own boys just dig a trap and wait, is it an unknown prophet?
"Dad, a few years ago, the younger brother asked the Li family sister to beat, and the brother said that he wanted to find the field, so he dug a trap, wanting to take revenge on the Li family's sister and make her suffer a little." On the side, Zheng Tiezhu said honestly.
Zheng Erbo's face was embarrassed, he was still playing a package ticket before, and the children of the Zheng family would take care of the Li family, but he didn't think that in private, these stinky boys were thinking about this. ……………… Something is happening today, it's late.
