Chapter 81: Retribution
Zhang Dahu's face turned even paler, and he ran out of the door in a panic, climbed into the car, and commanded one after another, "Hurry up, go quickly!" ”
Wu Laosan still wanted to follow, but was stopped by several villagers, Li Zheng glared, "You eat things outside the house, you steal chickens and dogs in the village on weekdays, and everyone turns a blind eye, but I didn't expect that you actually have to make an inch to attract outsiders to come to the village to do evil." If we don't punish it today, I'm afraid others will say that we don't have a rule in Yunjia Village. ”
Wu Laosan also knew that something was wrong at this time, and immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Li Zheng, uncles, forgive me this time, I was also greedy and wanted to earn some reward, but I didn't want to harm Mr. Zhao's life..."
One of the clan's family lived next door to the Wu family's old house, thinking that the relationship between the two families was not bad on weekdays, and he had the heart to help ask for a favor, but when he saw that everyone's faces were not good, he swallowed the words back.
Li Zheng called two villagers over, firmly grasped Wu Laosan, and said to Ruixue, "Mrs. Zhao can rest assured that Mr. Zhao will definitely give justice to your husband and wife!" ”
"Xie Li is upholding justice with all the elders and villagers, and the slave family will definitely come to the door to thank you another day." Rui Xue bowed, her voice was flat, slightly alienated, everyone thought she was frightened by Zhang Dahu and Wu Laosan, but Li Zheng's heart moved, looked at her carefully, and then turned around and took the lead to leave.
The people in the courtyard, Hulala followed most of the way, only Xu Kuan and others remained, Ruixue invited them into the hall again, sat down again, Lao Wang, who had been hiding in the house and did not go out, his face was red, and he said with some shame, "Sister, just now..."
Rui Xue waved her hand to interrupt him, and added tea to him with a smile, "Brother Wang, there is no need to say more, my sister is not a stupid person." In that situation just now, if you go out and help fight, let Zhang Dahu grab the handle and buckle the hat of an official to beat people, you will also be affected, if you help to pull the fight, and it seems that you are helping outsiders, it is better not to wade into this troubled water at all, in case you really make trouble to the government, you can still help find a way behind the scenes. ”
Among the few brothers who came with Ma Lao Liu, there were really two who looked down on Lao Wang for not coming out just now, and when Rui Xue said this, he immediately changed his smile and said, "I really misunderstood Brother Wang just now, I didn't expect Brother Wang to be such a wise person, unlike us who only know how to use brute force." ”
Lao Wang was overjoyed, and he admired Rui Xue more and more in his heart, and his means were mellow, and he was embarrassed in a few words, and gave him a high hat.
Xu Kuan and the others put down their work and came from the dock, they had already delayed a lot of work, and now that the matter was almost over, they left and went back.
Ruixue sent them to the gate of the courtyard, and said a few words to the stones and bolts, and then watched them go away.
Zhao Fengnian was still asleep, although his face was not good, he was extremely calm and serene, Rui Xue gently covered the corners of the quilt for him, "Shopkeeper, don't sleep anymore, okay?" You see how lively the family is coming and going, and you don't get up to support me, just watch them bully me. ”
She sighed softly again, "These people are too greedy, I'm afraid our house will be more lively in the next two days, shouldn't you wake up at that time?" You say, will they be scared and have nightmares at night, they think you're going to die..."
Zhang Dahe and his wife gently retreated, closed the door of the hall, and Zhang's sister-in-law wiped her tears, "It's all something with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, why don't you kill a few of them by the thunder." ”
Zhang Dahe also sighed, and dragged his daughter-in-law a few steps away, "Let's help do more work in the past two days, and be more vigilant at night, don't touch the door with a bad heart..."
Sister-in-law Zhang nodded, drove him to the ancestral hall to listen to the news, and then went into the stove to light a fire and boil water.
Besides, Zhang Dahu ran out of Yunjia Village in a car, and let out a long sigh. Ruixue's words just now really pierced the most fearful place in his heart, he has done countless evil things over the years, and he is often afraid of retribution, so every year he wants his wife and children to go to the temple to add more sesame oil money, but he didn't dare to go in person, for fear that the gods and Buddhas would split him on the spot to warn the world.
Today, when he heard Ruixue swear that his retribution was coming, he felt even more afraid, and he whispered to himself while sitting in the car, "She is talking nonsense, I have added sesame oil money, and the Buddha will forgive me..."
As a result, after walking less than six or seven miles like this, the carriage had just turned a bend in the mountain, and began to jolt violently, and he was already injured by the beatings, and this hit the wall of the car was even more painful, so he scolded sharply, "You are blind, and you will not choose a good way to go." ”
The two little guys on the wheel also felt aggrieved, and replied, "Master, this mountain road is full of gravel, and you can't hide from it." ”
Zhang Dahu was about to open his mouth to scold again, but he heard a rumbling sound coming from outside the car, he lifted the curtain and looked, and was immediately stunned, on the barren mountain dozens of meters high and sparsely growing a few bushes, there were four or five stones the size of a millstone jumping towards their carriage, if it was smashed, it would immediately become a meat pie.
He was so shocked that his voice changed tone and shouted, "Run, run!" ”
Of course, the two little guys also saw it, and hurriedly raised their whips to pull the jujube red horse that pulled the cart, the jujube red horse suddenly felt pain, and stood up with a long neigh, and earned the two-inch-wide belt under the body, and broke off with a "snap", and the carriage had no place to balance and borrow strength, and then fell to the rear, and the two little guys fell off the carriage with a puff, and Zhang Dahu was also hit and dizzy, and wanted to climb out of the car, but unfortunately his right leg was caught under the seat.
Seeing that Dashi arrived in front of him, the two little guys still cared about the master, and ran away as if they were flying.
Most of the stones bypassed the carriage, and only one piece smashed right in the middle of the carriage, Zhang Dahu screamed, staring at his right leg that was instantly folded into an angle, and immediately fainted.
The two little guys hid behind the big tree in the distance, and heard that there was no movement on the mountain, so they ran out, opened the car door and saw the appearance of their master, and they were so frightened that they dragged the old man out.
Zhang Dahu was woken up by pain, his face was covered with tears and snot, and the miserable howl shook the winter snow on the dead trees around him.
"My legs, my legs! Call the doctor... Help..."One of the two little guys went to catch the jujube red horse, untied the belt and tied it under the horse's belly, although the carriage was smashed, the wheels were fortunately still there, and the car was barely put on again.
The two carried Zhang Dahu into the car, just walked ten meters, but Zhang Dahu, who had been crying out in pain, suddenly stopped again, after all, he has been in business for many years, and his bad heart has not moved, so he is naturally not stupid.
The lady of the Zhao family just asserted that he had a bloody disaster, and when she came here, she overturned on the mountain road that was still very calm, and it was hard to guarantee that someone did not do anything about it.
"Little Wuzi, go up the mountain and see if someone deliberately pushed the stone down."
A little guy jumped down in response, and the cat's waist climbed up the barren mountain, but Zhang Dahu urged another guy to hurry back to the house, the little guy was a little straightforward, and said, "Master, let's not wait for the little fifth brother?" ”
Zhang Dahu hated him so much that he wanted to beat him to death, and scolded angrily, "When he comes back, my blood will be drained, so go back to the house!" ”
The little guy hurriedly beat the horse and left, the carriage moved suddenly, and it hit Zhang Dahu's injured leg, which provoked him to scream and scold angrily, and the little guy made amends while driving the car.
The little five sons finally climbed up the hill and looked around, except for a few pieces of broken stones scattered around, which were the traces left by the boulder that rolled down the mountain, there was not half a footprint, as if some unknown force had pushed the boulder down the mountain out of thin air.
Could it be that the bloody disaster that the lady of the Zhao family said is not a lie? He shuddered hard, and ran down the mountain, but he didn't see the shadow of the carriage when he looked around, obviously the old man threw him down and went back to the house first, so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded secretly, "Why didn't you just smash you to death an old pervert!" ”
Zhang Fu saw that the old man was injured and returned, and immediately made a noise, the best orthopedic doctor in the city was invited back, and after another screaming and scolding, Zhang Dahu's leg finally recovered to be straight, sprinkled with wound medicine, and put on a splint, and the old doctor wiped the sweat on his head, took the consultation fee and left.
Mrs. Zhang's family is soft-hearted, only to shed tears on the side, the two sons of the Zhang family went out to fool around, and have not yet received the news, but let Zhang Dahu not even have a person to discuss, he was worried about whether someone harmed him, and asked people to call Xiao Wuzi to reply, Xiao Wuzi just walked back, and he felt that his legs were sore, where would he let go of such a good opportunity for revenge, and the traces on the mountain were said to be miraculous, in short, it was definitely not someone who made it bad, or a big stone fell from the sky.
Zhang Dahu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he believed most of Zhao Niangzi's words in his heart, and after he drove Xiao Wuzi out, he shouted that Mrs. Zhang would go to the temple tomorrow to add sesame oil money. Since then, he has been thinking and calculating, how to do good deeds without spending money, and doing everything possible to prevent the family from breaking the wealth, which makes everyone in the Zhang family wonder how he changed his temperament.
However, Mrs. Zhang recruited Xiao Wuzi to ask about the cause and effect, and began to eat fasting and chant Buddha every day, of course, this is all a later story.
In Yunjia Village, sister-in-law Zhang helped Rui Xue change into a clean dress and curl her hair, for fear that she would feel uncomfortable, so she persuaded again and again, "Sister, don't be angry about these things, in a few days, Mr. will wake up." ”
Rui Xue patted her hand and wanted to say that she was not angry, but in the end she was still uncomfortable, so she smiled bitterly and shook her head, "It's all good on weekdays, and when it's really difficult, you can see who is sincere." Today, thanks to my sister-in-law and eldest brother for protecting me, otherwise I would really have to suffer. ”
Sister-in-law Zhang was so hateful that she clutched the peach wood comb in her hand, "I don't know how the clan elders punish that Wu Laosan, the best thing is to drive their family out of the village." ”
"What about getting out, he's not the only one, he's greedy for my shop and tofu, maybe tomorrow the elders will come to the door."
Sister-in-law Zhang was stunned and exclaimed, "Sister, you mean, the village also wants..."
"It's not good to say, everyone thinks that Mr. doesn't have a few days to live, and instead of cheapening the government at that time, it is better to give the best to the village."
Sister-in-law Zhang shook her head, "My sister is too careful, Mr. teaches the children to read on weekdays, but he does his best, and he collects so little, that is, you open a shop and make tofu, and there is no shortage of gifts from everyone during the New Year's Festival, and the clan elder and Lizheng are even twice as much." Now that my husband is seriously ill, there are others who bully you, but there is no one who is bullied by your own family. ”
