Chapter 1: The Vanishing Golden Bead
During the Qingming season, it rains,
Pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
Where is the restaurant?
The shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village.
At the foot of Dai Mountain, there is also an apricot blossom village.
At noon, the warm spring breeze is blowing.
Qingli Restaurant at the entrance of Xinghua Village, crowded with people, hundreds of birds and phoenix songs from morning to now.
Today is the wedding day of the village chief's son Li Yu, and the village chief has set up at least 50 tables of open-air banquets in his farmhouse.
At this moment, Liu Meng was sitting on the greasy round table, with a tired look on his face.
He doesn't like to eat a big table the most, he is noisy, especially the rural aunt, who grabs the vegetables when he sees them, as if he has never eaten meat in his eight lives.
But he is alone at home, and he doesn't come to eat with his share, which is a bit wasteful.
As soon as Liu Meng made it to the round table, several people from the same village around him looked at him with disdain.
"Mengzi, how are you raising pigs?"
"You can raise a big man, and after graduating from college, you must be better than you."
"Also, college students are all cultural people, of course they are much better than me!"
……
Hearing these words, Liu Meng was silent, but his face was not good-looking.
Everyone's yin and yang weird words seem to be compliments, but in fact, Liu Meng knows that they are all sarcastic about themselves.
Because the fattening pigs of Liu Meng's pig farm got foot-and-mouth disease.
In the past two days, more than a dozen people have died in a row, and the losses have been heavy, and they have become the laughing stock of the whole village.
Hearing the harsh ridicule at this moment, Liu Meng felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything back.
However, there were two people at the table who still did not give up.
"Mengzi, when I ran a pig farm, my uncle asked me when I borrowed the money, when I planned to pay it back."
"Yes, my family also lent you 7,000, and my brother still settles the account, not to mention that we are not brothers, your sister-in-law has mentioned this matter to me several times, and she should be anxious with me if she doesn't pay back the money."
These two are the sons of Uncle Liu Meng's family and cousins.
When Liu Meng heard this, he wanted to collect debts, and his face suddenly became ugly.
It's not that he doesn't want to pay it back, it's mainly that he doesn't have any money in his hand.
Not to mention the investment in the pig farm, just my father's medical expenses are enough to give him a headache.
In addition to farming, the mountain people also occasionally pull stones and sell stones.
The day before yesterday, when Liu Meng's father used a detonator to open the mountain, he didn't run away and was hit by gravel and hit his left leg.
Below the lower leg, a total amputation is required.
Liu Meng hasn't made up the surgery fees yet, how can he have the money to pay off the bills?
At this time, asking him for money made it worse.
What kind of relatives are these!
Whatever outsiders say, Liu Meng can endure it.
But being so persecuted by his blood relatives, he was a little angry, and when he stood up and slapped the table hard, he was about to get angry.
But before Liu Meng could speak, he heard a sudden commotion outside.
Something went wrong?
The news came quickly.
On the day of the wedding, according to the customs of the village, Li Yu had to go to Meng's house with a few groomsmen to pick up the bride.
At nine o'clock, Li Yu took people there.
For the sake of pomp, his family rented ten BMWs to form a luxury fleet.
Blowing and blowing along the way, but when I arrived at Meng's house, I didn't receive the bride.
After inquiry, I learned that the bride had run away early in the morning.
On the day of the wedding, the daughter-in-law ran away from the marriage, and now the face of the village chief's family was lost.
The long-tongued women in the village suddenly had something to talk about, and immediately chattered non-stop.
Through the crowd, Liu Meng saw Li Yu, who was wearing a suit and a groom's tag on his chest, squatting at the door and smoking a cigarette with a blue face.
Just when Liu Meng looked at Li Yu, the latter came over with an unkind face and said angrily: "Liu Meng, did you hide Xiaoyu?" ”
When he asked, the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Liu Meng.
Liu Meng was slightly stunned, then met Li Yu's gaze, and said slightly angrily: "You are sick, you can't receive your daughter-in-law, don't sprinkle your anger on me." ”
"Damn, don't pretend to be garlic, you have an unclear relationship with Xiaoyu, who in the village doesn't know?"
Li Yu clenched his fists, his eyes were full of anger: "Now that he has run away, it must have been instigated by you!" ”
The bride's name is Meng Yu, and she has played with Liu Meng since she was a child, and the two are childhood sweethearts.
To be honest, after learning that Meng Yu was married to Li Yu, Liu Meng felt very uncomfortable.
But he didn't do anything excessive, and in the face of Li Yu's questioning at this moment, he responded coldly: "What is the unclear relationship, you should clean up your mouth for me!" ”
"Xiaoyu doesn't want to live with you, you should find a reason from yourself, don't put on me."
"Damn, I don't believe anything you say today, return my daughter-in-law!" Li Yu suddenly lost control and gave Liu Meng a punch with red eyes.
Liu Meng suddenly felt a sharp pain on his face, and after coming back to his senses, he also became angry, "You are special!" ”
Cursing, he smashed his fist into Li Yu's face.
The two scuffled together like this.
Liu Mengren is tall and big, and Li Yu suffers a loss in the fight.
Soon, though, things changed.
"Liu Meng, stop fighting, have something to say."
"It's a big deal, as for the hands-on no."
"Look at this happy day, can't it be good?"
Several onlookers in the village stepped forward, obviously to persuade them, but in fact they were pulling the shelf, pressing Liu Meng to prevent him from fighting back.
At this time, Li Yu seized the opportunity and punched and kicked Liu Meng.
In just half a minute, Liu Meng was beaten and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.
Blood ran down the corners of his mouth.
That's when something strange happened......
On Liu Meng's neck, there was a golden bead the size of a grape, and after touching the blood, it disappeared out of thin air!
Liu Meng was suddenly shocked and hurriedly ripped off his clothes, only to see that there was a gold bead tattoo on his chest, and there was nothing else.
The red rope strung with gold beads is empty at the moment.
What happened?
Liu Meng's heart was full of doubts.
The gold bead was given to him by his father two days ago, when his father was trying to pick up the gold bead before his leg was blown off by a detonator.
After that, Liu Meng put the gold bead on his body, who knew that such a strange thing would happen.
But he was not allowed to think much at this moment, because Li Yu raised his foot and kicked over.
Liu Meng subconsciously struggled, it had no effect before, but this time he actually shook off the three young men who held him down, and avoided Li Yu's kick.
The three people who pulled the bias frame were slightly surprised, they didn't expect Liu Meng's strength to be so great.
Li Yu was also stunned for a moment, and then he was furious and waved his fist directly.
As soon as Liu Meng stood firm, he noticed Li Yu's movements, raised his leg and kicked it over, directly kicking Li Yu down.
Then he looked down at Li Yu, and said, "I have a good relationship with Xiaoyu, but I really don't know about her escape from marriage, don't look for me if something happens!" ”
Leaving a word, Liu Meng didn't care what everyone thought, and left Qingli Restaurant directly.
Today's incident made Li Yu very embarrassed, and the face of the village chief's family was lost.
How this farce ended, Liu Meng was in no mood to pay attention.
At this moment, he came to the pig farm one kilometer south of the village and was observing the situation of the black pigs.
Liu Meng has raised a total of fifty black pigs, and they can be sold, who knows that he will be on the stall.
Foot-and-mouth disease is spreading very quickly, and more than a dozen died yesterday.
At this time, Liu Meng saw that almost all the pigs were infected with foot-and-mouth disease.
In fact, some private pig dealers in the village will also accept sick pigs.
However, Liu Meng is a person with a conscience, so even if his father waits for the money from the sale of pigs for surgery, he is reluctant to sell sick pigs.
Liu Meng checked on the Internet that foot-and-mouth disease can be treated, and the easiest way is to spray vinegar into the pigsty.
So in the afternoon, Liu Meng bought a box of old vinegar and sprayed all corners of the pigsty.
Dad's surgery fee is pointed to this batch of black pigs.
By the time I was done, it was already dark.
Liu Meng returned home with a tired body.
"Crunch".
The old wooden door was pushed open.
Liu Meng stepped into the hall, and before he could turn on the light, a soft body rushed up from the front and hugged him......
