At first, no one came to ask Daddy, but Daddy had heard people talking behind his back from time to time.

Daddy secretly went to find the real perpetrator, but the perpetrator seemed to be familiar with Daddy's whereabouts. When Grandpa went to the village at night and waited, someone in front of the village would be injured or trampled on a vegetable garden in front of the village. When my grandfather went to the village at night and waited, someone was injured in the back of the village, or a vegetable garden behind the village was trampled.

During that time, due to difficulties in collecting debts, Luo Buzhai ran outside every day, and there was no way to help his father.

And grandpa is naturally reluctant to ask Zhao Xianyun, Yu Youyang and Xiaomi to participate in this kind of thing. Therefore, he secretly paid attention to the changes in the village at night.

One night, my grandfather pretended to be wandering around in front of the village, and suddenly ran towards the back of the village when he thought that something might happen to the back of the village. At this moment, Grandpa saw a black mass of something rushing out before him.

But it was small, it couldn't be a cow, it couldn't be a human.

It was so fast that Daddy couldn't see it after chasing him for more than ten steps.

That night, no one in the village had an accident, and no vegetable garden had been trampled.

After that night, things continued as before, one after another.

Grandpa wanted to tell Zhu Yuzi to look at the front of the village and look at the back of the village himself, but Zhu Yuzi had to guard by the big pond to prevent monkey puppeteers and monkeys who were not suppressed by buffalo from coming out to harm people.

Grandpa still didn't do anything under such care. So, finally someone came to the door.

It was Ma Jincai, who lived at the end of the village and leaned against the back mountain. Ma Jin is a well-known poor man in the village, with no land, no wife, no children, and no house. The broken mud house he lives in against the back hill is still a house that others don't want, the roof is not fully tiled, there is no grass, and it leaks wind and rain.

It may be understandable that others are poor, but Ma Jincai is poor because of himself. He's too lazy.

He originally had a few acres of land, but he didn't want to plant it, so he sold it behind his parents' back for money. When the money ran out, he was at home eating his parents' savings. His parents were so angry that they both returned to Huangquan. When someone else's parents die, they will definitely cry very sadly. When his parents died, he was complacent, thinking that for two less people to eat, he would have two more money for food. The coffin is bought thinly, and the funeral is done simply, for fear of being used more.

Later, he sold his parents' house and lived in a dilapidated house that no one else wanted.

A person like him naturally can't marry a daughter-in-law.

As his savings gradually ran out, he was reluctant to do hard work for others, so he inevitably had to steal. There is hardly a single family in the village that has not been stolen by him. Since the stolen things are really worthless, no one turns against him. But behind the scenes, people called him a "horse thief".

Later, when the rich were defeated and the status of the poor was raised, Ma Jinthief also became a popular figure in the village for a time, criticizing the oppression of the old society against him. Of course, that's all for later.

When Ma Jin thief found his father's house, Yu Youyang was choosing vegetables and washing vegetables at the door.

Ma Jin Thief rubbed his waist with one hand, walked up to Yu Youyang crookedly, made a painful look, and shouted loudly: "Where is your Ma Xiucai? Tell him to come out! ”

Yu Youyang has always hated Ma Jin thief very much, squinted at him, and said angrily: "I want to find you yourself." Yu Youyang thought he was here to borrow money again. Because he didn't pay back the money he borrowed several times before, Luo Buzhai had rejected him several times. He kept saying that Luo Buzhai was not surnamed Ma, and he didn't care about the people of the Ma family, so he had to find Ma Xiucai to borrow it another day.

In fact, he was a little afraid of his grandfather, and he didn't dare to really borrow money in front of his grandfather.

Yu Youyang knew this, so he deliberately asked him to find it himself.

In the past, as long as he told him to borrow money from his grandfather, he would walk away.

But this time, instead of walking away, he raised his neck and shouted at the door of the Ma family's old house: "Ma Xiucai is not at home?" I'm a thief...... No...... Ma Jin has something to discuss with you! ”

Daddy was teaching Millet in the house, pretending not to hear. Grandpa is not targeting him, but to impart knowledge to Xiaomi for more time, and other non-cadres don't want to see him.

Seeing that there was no reaction in the house, Ma Jin shouted again: "Ma Xiucai! Your swelling has broken my waist, and I can't do it, so you have to give me a little medical bill, right? ”

Yu Youyang stood up angrily, pointed at the nose of the horse thief with the vegetable leaves in his hand and said, "Hey! Whose cow did you say broke your waist? Do you have proof! If you can't borrow money, you come to cheat money, right? For the sake of the villagers, we didn't come to ask for your debts, but you came to ask for money! ”

Ma Jin replied with a thick neck and a red face: "The money owed is the money owed, and the medical expenses are medical expenses!" If you don't give me medical expenses, what should I do if my body can't be cured? ”

Grandpa put down the book in the house and listened to the two arguing at the door.

Yu Youyang said: "Then tell me, our cows are locked in the cowshed, why did they hurt you?" Did you come to steal cattle and get bruised? ”

Ma Jin thief heard that Yu Youyang was humiliating his usual habit of petty theft, and said angrily: "Enter your cowshed? Phew! I was hurt by your cow last night when I was almost home! That guy came too fast! In one fell swoop, he pushed me off the road to the side of the road, and almost didn't fall to my death. There are more than one or two people who have been injured by your cows. None of them saw it. But I can see it clearly! The one who hurt me is your cow! I got up from under the hill and chased the ox, and when it came to your door, it was gone. Cows know their way home! Whose cow would it be, if you say it's not yours? ”

Yu Youyang was stunned for a moment and said, "Ran to our door?" ”

Ma Jin's momentum suddenly overshadowed Yu Youyang, nodded and glared: "Yes! ”

Yu Youyang turned smart, pointed to the ground and said, "Isn't it seen here?" ”

Ma Jin thief shook his head and said, "No. ”

"Missing there?" Yu Youyang pointed to the side a little farther away.

Ma Jin thief said, "I don't remember. It's near your house anyway. ”

Yu Youyang pulled Ma Jin's sleeve and said, "Then you take me around our house to see where there are the footprints of our cows." If there is a cow's foot print, compare it to my cow's foot board to see if it is the same size. ”

The grandfather in the house smiled.

Millet was silent, writing in a dignified posture, meticulously writing with a brush. But her ears were almost pricked up to listen to the quarrel outside. The face is so calm that it doesn't look like a little girl.

Grandpa later thought that he should have noticed something unusual from Xiaomi's performance at that time. In this way, many of the things that follow can be avoided. But Daddy didn't. He trusts Xiaomi infinitely, just like Zhao Xianyun trusts him.

Ma Jin thief shook off Yu Youyang's hand and said loudly: "I won't go to see it!" Who knows if you rubbed your footprints off early in the morning? ”

"I'm rubbing it off? Did you see me rubbing it off? Yu Youyang didn't give an inch.

Ma Jin thief was in a hurry, almost jumped up, waved at Yu Youyang and said, "Good men don't fight with women!" I don't talk to you about these useless things! I just saw the cows coming here! So many people in the village were injured by the cow, and it was all after your cow appeared! Who has encountered this kind of thing when you don't have cattle in your house? ”

When he said this, Yu Youyang was speechless.

Seeing that Yu Youyang couldn't refute, Ma Jin Thief smiled proudly, stopped asking his grandfather for medical expenses, turned around and left the Ma family's old house, and shouted to the people who came out of the village to see the excitement as he walked: "Everyone take a look!" My own cattle hurt people and refuse to pay for medical expenses! Nothing like this has ever happened in the village before! Ever since they had a sick and improved cow in their house, every family had to worry about going out at night! If you don't go out, you're worried that the vegetables in the field will be trampled on! ”

These are the words that everyone said behind their backs. It's like a cannonball, it's been there for a long time, and it's just a spark away from ignition.

A lot of things are like this, everyone thinks in their hearts but doesn't dare to do it, but as soon as one person takes the lead, the people behind will flock to it, without any scruples. Ma Jin thief made a fuss this time, and when people talked about it again, they didn't care if their father was beside them.

This caused a lot of pressure on my father.

Knowing that he had caused trouble for his father, he begged his father to let him leave the place when he went to see him in the cowshed.

Grandpa carried the blue straw to Huai Niu and said, "I know you didn't do it." You have endured a hundred years of agony and waiting under the pond to protect everyone in the village, and they should be grateful to you. ”

Huai Niu shook his head and said, "But they all hate me now." ”

"That's when they're blinded." Grandpa pulled the straw open and let the cow eat.

Millet can't eat after being parasitic, that's because she doesn't really occupy Miss Xie's body, but only parasitizes like vines wrapped around trees and stone moss. Her body had begun to decay, and what she ate could not be digested.

The locust cow quickly seized the shell of the sick cow when it was dying, and it itself had the form of a hundred-year-old cow, and the soul and body were compatible with each other, so it was easy to occupy the body. The body did not die, but gradually recovered. So it needs to be supplemented.

Huai Niu picked up a small handful of straw and said while chewing: "Ma Xiucai, aren't you afraid of the same fate as me?" Helped them maintain their peace for so many years, and finally became sinners to be banished? ”

Grandpa touched the horns on the cow's head and said, "The cow is a very kind animal, why should it give birth to a pair of fierce horns?" Because goodness also needs the power to protect itself, and without this power, goodness will also be banished. Huai Niu, would you like to work with me to find out the person who caused the trouble? ”

The horn is shaped like a Mongolian scimitar, and the tip of the horn has a chilling momentum.

"What do you want me to do?" Huai Niu asked. Saliva ran down the straw.

At this moment, a small figure flashed in, and said in a sonorous voice: "If you dare to provoke us, of course you will kill it!" ”
