Yuanye Village is located in the southernmost part of the six villages in the barren mountains, and is one of the most backward villages in ZS Province. Even today, when modern science is so developed, the people here still live a life without electricity, no network, and no mechanization.

The area of the village is not large, and the population is not very large, with only about 100 people in total. But because of this, the people in the village are very familiar with each other, and if they have nothing to do, they can sit together in three or two, four or five, talk about this family, talk about that family, and it can be said that they can't hide anything from anyone's family.

It may be related to the tradition of the village, so most of the people in the village rely on farming for a living, and there are very few who engage in livestock breeding, at most they can only raise two chickens and a few pigs, which will be left for a few days of the New Year.

But it is impossible for everyone to have a happy event in a year, and the funeral has to be done, but it is definitely not possible without wine or meat, so Xu Laohan, who has the ability to hunt, became a celebrity in Yuanye Village in this situation.

Whoever has something to do, they will find Xu Laohan and ask him to go up the mountain to catch a few pheasants, hares, and two robes or something. Xu Laohan is also relatively bold, never shirks refusal, as long as he gives him two catties of small burns with a high degree, he will immediately take the guy to take people up the mountain.

This morning, the village king came to him, saying that the little cub (the youngest son) of the family had been marrying his daughter-in-law for a happy event these days, and because there were too few animals at home, he wanted to ask him to come back with him to go up the mountain to catch something. For this reason, a few bottles of hardcover liquor brought by relatives outside were specially served.

Xu Laohan was addicted to alcohol, so he agreed boldly. Without saying a word, he took Wang Abacus and his three sons and went up the mountain in a hurry.

Their luck was also very good, and at the end of the day they hit three of them in their robes, not counting four or five hares. This is also happy to have Wang Abacus on the side, and keeps mythologizing Xu Laohan's marksmanship.

Xu Laohan was also willing to listen, and said yes again and again with his mouth open, and several people went down the mountain in such a happy mood.

However, when they walked to the head of the village, they saw Zhao Lao Crooked, who was sitting on a big rock, whispering something with the dog Liuzi, the big face, and the shoehorn.

Zhao Lao is crooked because he always preaches other people's affairs in the village. And not at all to keep a mouth. So the nickname Lao Crooked came from this, alluding to his mouth damage and always talking nonsense.

Xu Laohan didn't have a good impression of this Zhao Lao, because earlier. The bastard also made a lot of noise in the village that he had slept with the chief's daughter-in-law. For this, he and the village were almost killed.

"You don't talk nonsense. Where can we get the treasure in this poor village? ”

"Don't believe it, I saw with my own eyes that there was a big copper box in Widow Li's bedroom. There was also a lock hanging on the box, and at first glance it contained some valuables. ”

"Let's not talk about whether there is such a thing, what is in the bedroom of Widow Li's house, how do you know?"

"Hehe, I happened to pass by and saw it......"

Just when Zhao Laocrook and a few of them were talking about it, Xu Laohan didn't know when he came over, and a big hand fell on Zhao Lao's neck without mercy, and then he lifted it up for him:

"Little Wang Ba Calf, who is making a rumor here! See I don't break your dog's legs! ”

Seeing that Xu Laohan suddenly appeared beside him, Zhao Laoqiao was immediately frightened and shrunk his neck, and his face turned blue and squeezed out a few ugly smiles at Xu Laohan:

"It turned out to be Uncle Yu, I didn't say anything, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Lao's popularity in the village is very poor, and few people are proud of him, so he is not polite to see Xu Laohan, and Wang Abacus, who had just gone down the mountain with him, also surrounded him. Especially his sons, they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to give Zhao Laoqiao a good look, but fortunately, Xu Laohan stopped him:

"Forget it, they all live in the same village, and the warning is over." Xu Laohan looked at Zhao Laowei and said with some hatred.

Zhao Lao didn't even dare to breathe, and kept squeezing a smile on his face. Xu Laohan let go of his hand, turned his head to the dog Liuzi, and asked:

"What did this kid just say to you?"

Gou Liuzi pouted crookedly at Zhao Lao, and it seemed that he didn't mean to cover him at all, so he said directly:

"Zhao Lao said that there was an extra treasure chest in the bedroom of Widow Li's house, saying that it was secretly dug up by Widow Li from her yard and was the inheritance left by her husband."

"I'm kidding ......"

"Smack——!

Without waiting for Zhao Lao's crooked quibble, Xu Laohan angrily slapped him, and scolded with anger on his face:

"Okay, you've made a rumor about Widow Li now, I really want to strangle you!"

Widow Li is known for her good character in the village, and she has a good tailoring skill, and most of the children's clothes in the village are made by her. It's a pity that she has a bad life, and her husband died of illness within a few years of marriage, and the nickname of this widow Li has spread since then.

After all, for a backward village like Yuanye Village, some feudal superstitions are deep-rooted, so some rumors of a father and a husband have not been broken over the years.

Perhaps because she was afraid that the people in the village would misunderstand something, Widow Li has been living a simple life since her husband's death, but she still doesn't often make clothes for a child in a certain family. I've never heard of any man's affair with her, so gradually those rumors against her disappeared, and she was even disgusted that someone was chewing her tongue behind her back.

After all, it is not easy for such a woman to be alive.

Zhao Laowei really saw that Xu Laohan was angry, so he didn't have a hard mouth, and swore again and again that he would never dare to spread rumors in the future, so he didn't run away and was kicked by Xu Laohan twice.

After Xu Laohan and the others left, Zhao Lao's crooked eyes stared coldly at the backs of Gou Liuzi and the others, and then he pursed his lips and spat fiercely on the ground.

Widow Li's original name was Li Cui'er, and she was a first-class beauty in the village before she got married, and almost all men of her age in the village chased her at that time, but she picked and chose a short-lived ghost in the end.

Although she loves her husband very much, because she got married early, she is not yet thirty years old, not to mention the emptiness in her heart. But she knew very well the situation in the village, and was very opposed to the widow taking such a thing again, so she could only endure it like this.

"Hey."

Widow Li, who was sitting on the bed, sighed helplessly, and her two eye circles gradually turned red, she was so tired and tired that sometimes she really wanted to leave. But the outside world was so strange to her, where could she go as a person who had never been out of the village?

She wiped tears from her face, got up and got out of the wooden bed, and her sparkling gaze fell on a large box in front of her.

This box is really the same as what Zhao Lao Crooked said to Gou Liuzi at the time, she dug it out of her vegetable garden. It was also very dramatic, she sat in her home in a daze that day, but the hot sun in the sky made her uncomfortable, so she thought of opening a place and planting a tree that could be used for shade.

Who would have thought that she would not be able to do so after a few strokes with a hoe, and then she dug the box out of the ground.

The box was heavy, at least for her. It took a great deal of effort for her to dig the box out of the ground and get it into her bedroom.

The box was tightly locked with a lock, and she tried but didn't open it, not knowing what it contained.

But what puzzled her the most was that she had never heard her husband mention that there were still boxes buried in her vegetable garden.

"What's in this box?"

Widow Li looked at the box, and in her heart she was puzzled, and she was eager to open it.

After standing in front of the box and hesitating for a while, Widow Li finally made up her mind. She walked out of the bedroom, and when she reappeared, she had an extra sharp axe in her hand.
