Chapter 192: Turnips and Sticks
Are these two products a joke invited by a monkey? Heaven and earth, hurry up and take them away!
Without waiting for Grandpa Jia to say anything to us, the villagers behind these two people also agreed, "That's it, Uncle Jia, I heard that your family has endless meat, give us some points for our children to eat." ”
"Our old lady hasn't tasted meat for a long time, and she's very greedy, Uncle Jia, just give a small piece."
"Look at how thin our children are, Uncle Jia, you can't be too ruthless, just give me a piece of meat and let me go home and make a broth for the baby to drink, okay?"
"Grandpa Jia, give me a few pieces, everyone will satisfy their hunger......"
The villagers are gossiping, Ahong Aliang adds a bar from time to time, but his eyes avoid us, these two people are enough ghosts, maybe they believe that we are sent by the state, or they don't believe it, but they understand one thing, the law is not the public, there are many people who come to beg for meat, we will not just run for the two of them.
We were angry and a little puzzled, saying that these villagers don't know how to hunt themselves. Ah Hong Ah Liang is two lazy men, and the others shouldn't be all of them, right? Most of the mountain people are industrious and simple, how can they be instigated by their two grandsons and come to beg for food?
Do these villagers think that the frozen meat is the material distributed by the state leaders to the disaster area?
Or is it just a soft pinch of persimmons, knowing that Grandpa Jia's sons and grandchildren are all dead outside, and there is no pillar at home, and when I hear that there are some good things, they all rush up and change the law to grab it? It's hateful!
"What kind of meat do you want from Old Man Jia?" Before the Arhat rode Dawa to the crowd, Ahong Aliang shrank back, and the Arhat glared at the two of them, and continued, "The frozen meat was a wild boar that my Arhat threw, and it was frozen through the eaves of Old Man Jia's house, and it was all prepared by us to eat on the road. ”
Luohan wanted to take Grandpa Jia out and let the villagers point to us, for no reason, they had no reason to force us to give food, and these people knew that they were bullying the lonely old people of their own family.
The villagers looked at Luo Han with stunned faces, obviously they hadn't heard of this kind of statement, and then looked at Ah Hong and Ah Liang together, these two boys were really a little panicked.
I thought it was settled, but these two cunning fellows took the plunge and said, "Who wants to listen to you lie!" If you take all that frozen meat with you, and show it to us, we will believe it! Otherwise, you are great liars! ”
Holy! Revealing people is short! These two people poked Luohan in the soft underbelly with a pole, and the jerky we got from Brother Jian was roasted and eaten, so how could there be any frozen meat on the car to show the villagers?
Luo Han gritted his teeth with hatred, "Why do we want to show you our things?" How old are you? Still want to rob others of food? ”
Now the two guys are full of confidence, and their tone is much harder, "Look, they don't have it in the car at all, all those frozen meats are hidden in Uncle Jia's house, and Uncle Jia eats alone!" It's a shame to eat alone! ”
The villagers boiled all of a sudden, they were not stupid at all, they were very suspicious after Luo Han finished talking just now, with our intimacy with Grandpa Jia, it is indeed untenable to say that those frozen meat are not kept for the old man.
"It's a shame to eat alone! It's so difficult, how can you eat it? A man bitterly accused Grandpa Jia.
"Old Jiatou, you are living in vain at such an old age! Why did you become so selfish when you got old? The villager spoke even more ruthlessly.
"Give us some! Be a man and leave a line, and see you in the future! You ate a solo meal today, can we deal with it in the future? Another villager also said a set of righteous words.
"You've eaten enough meat in your own belly, and we're still in the chaff! Can't you sleep at night? Sorry or not? "Another oppression of conscience.
When the villagers saw that we couldn't show frozen meat, they immediately became angry, and they didn't understand the inside story when they saw this scene, and they thought that we and Grandpa Jia were bastards who were sorry for these poor villagers.
The partners all got out of the car, listening to their mean words so angry that they didn't know what to say, and the most angry was naturally Grandpa Jia, who hugged the two children, his beard shaking, and he didn't know how to refute.
It's hard to say a bunch of tongues in one mouth, but you have to divide people.
"Shut up!" The Arhat's temper was offended, and Dawa seemed to be infected with the anger of his master, and he hissed forward, and the horse's hooves slashed in the air, so frightened that Ahong Aliang, who was closest to him, squeezed backwards with all his might.
"You are all simple ordinary people, how can you speak so meanly? Old man Jia is a lonely old man, seventy-five years old! When things were tough, did you care about him? The little brothers have no adults to take care of, they can't eat or drink, have you ever taken care of them? Luohan's loud voice sounded, and the villagers stopped moving, "Seeing that the old man had something to eat at home, he all came over to ask for it, is his face too thick?" Whoever of you is kind to the old man, stand up immediately! As long as the old man orders one, I will immediately give him meat to eat! ”
For a long time, no one stood up, all of them stood in fear, and no one made a sound.
"No one is kind to Jia Lao, right? Then why are you standing here asking for meat to eat? They're not crippled, and they won't hunt by themselves by relying on the mountains? You can't shoot a boar or a rabbit? I have been wandering around your mountains for a few days, and I have seen countless hares scurrying around and very fat, so why don't you catch them? Luo Han said angrily, and rolled up his sleeves, "A person is stupid, he can't be caught, and he won't go with him?" I don't know where to use my strength, but I join forces to calculate a lonely old man, do you want to be faced? ”
"And! We've come here to look at your yard, and many people still have hens and buffaloes, and they don't want to eat and keep them to lay eggs and farm, right? What's in the old man's house? Just a few rotten potatoes and lean corn! Which of you chickens lays eggs and sends him a few to eat? ”
The villagers were so choked by Luohan that they couldn't speak, and they didn't dare to look into his eyes, but they just looked at Grandpa Jia, but when I looked at them, it didn't seem like they had repentance, but they were full of unwillingness.
Luo Handuo's shrewd people also saw that these stubborn villagers would not be persuaded by his words to report grievances, so they sent a secret spy ruthlessly, "I, put my words on hold, I will go to Jia's hometown when I come back from Shantou, if I let me know which one is not long-sighted to force the old man to eat, don't blame me for being unkind!" After saying that, he took out the gun on his waist and shot at the sky.
Where have the villagers seen this formation, they were frightened by the gunfire and shouted in unison, a few clever ones, they even turned around and ran, people have a herd mentality, one person runs, and the others can't hold their breath, and they run clean in a few minutes, including the two bastards Ah Hong and Ah Liang, who made the trouble.
"For these guys, it's going to be carrots and sticks! It's useless to talk bitterly. Rohan stuffed the gun back into his holster and said proudly.
Grandpa Jia is still very excited, he didn't say anything just now, but it doesn't mean that he is not sad, these villagers and old neighbors who have been with him all his life are not ordinary hurtful.
"Old man, you have to look at it." Zhu Hong walked to Grandpa Jia's side to comfort him, "There are a lot of things like this in the last days, and when people are faced with a dilemma, it is easy to lose some precious things in human nature, what about you, don't be sad for the unworthy people, if you care, just care about what is worth caring about, well, like these two little guys, they are really filial to you, you, you don't hurt them in vain." ”
The two children hugged Grandpa Jia's waist tightly and put their little faces on the old man's chest, Grandpa Jia's face was soothed, "In the future, our grandfather and wife will depend on each other!" I'll have to live a little longer, and I'll have to take care of them both for a long time. ”
"Grandpa, we have grown up, we will take care of you in the future!" Brother said.
"Good boy! Remember how I taught you how to hunt? I have to go up the mountain to practice, the little meat we left for wow, hurry up and eat it, if you want to eat meat in the future, you have to rely on yourself, you know? Rohan said loudly on his horse, Oh? When did he secretly teach the two children to hunt?
"Got it, master!" The two children's names for Arhat have changed.
"I will remember you, Jia Xiaoshan and Jia Xiaohai, take care of grandpa!" Luo Han repeated the names of the two children word by word.
"Master! When you go back to Chengdu, will you really come back to see us? Jia Xiaohai looked at Luo Han with a blank look.
Rohan hesitated, for we were uncertain about our way back, and if we could find other shortcuts, it was unlikely that we would take this path.
But he only thought about it for a few seconds, and then nodded solemnly, "Master will definitely come back to see you, who dares to bully you and grandpa, tell him that I won't let him go when I come back." ”
"Okay!" The two children were overjoyed.
I know that Luohan will not easily promise that if we go back to Chengdu and take other roads, he will ride Dawa alone, and he will also take this path that can lead to Grandpa Jia's house, just to fulfill his promise.
"Rohan, do you want to leave them a gun?" I approached Luohan and whispered in his ear, just now the villagers were very afraid of guns, maybe Grandpa Jia can better protect himself with a powerful weapon in his hand?
"No," said the arhat firmly, "they are old and young, and they have a little food in their hands, and if they let those who are black-hearted know that they have guns in their hands, they will be killed." The gun is a weapon in the hands of the strong, and in the hands of the weak, it is for others. ”
I snorted, I really didn't expect this, and I couldn't help but glance at Luohan with admiration, this rough old man, his mind is so careful that it never matches his appearance.
"When they eat up the food and meat, the village will be gone. The key is Xiaoshan and Xiaohai, Old Man Jia has been teaching them to farm, and I have also taught them both to hunt, and slowly these techniques are proficient, and their lives will be better. After Luo Han finished speaking, he roared, "Let's go, let's go!" If you delay a little longer, you will have to go back to the old man's house for the night. ”
We walked a long way, and when we looked back, we could still see three small black dots standing in place for a long time.
