"Uncle Village Chief, you can divide it, let's listen."

"Yes, the food is fine, we all agree."

The villagers opened their mouths one after another, urging the village chief, their eyes burning as if they were about to melt the silver.

The village chief counted them, and there were forty-eight or nine silver bills in the jar, five taels each.

He said, "It's still the fourth child and Liu Darttou, as well as Sister-in-law Qiong and Doctor Zhang..."

As soon as she started, Mrs. Cui spoke, "Village chief, we haven't lost any food just now, so we don't want any silver." Everyone is divided, don't count Sister-in-law Qiong's share. ”

Sister-in-law Qiong also nodded, "I just went in and took a medicine, and I didn't make any effort." ”

Doctor Zhang also waved his hand, "Yes, I don't want silver either, just have food." I gave out a bottle of medicine, and no one went, so what kind of money did I share? ”

Li Laosi looked at the old lady, saw the old lady nodding, and turned to Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu also nodded quickly.

The two families reached a tacit understanding, and Li Laosi said, "Uncle Village Chief, divide the money equally, as long as you go to suppress the bandits this time, one of them will contribute and take the risk." There are also a few brothers who stayed at home, and they are somewhat interesting, after all, in order to protect the family, they did not follow them. ”

A few people said this, especially Li Laosi, who even took into account the young men who didn't go, so that everyone was grateful and happy, but they were embarrassed to take advantage!

"Uncle Village Chief, we just walked back and forth hard, more than 30 bandits, we killed four or five, and the rest relied on the fourth brother and Liu Dart, so they should have more money."

"Yes, we were scared half to death at the time, and we only hacked a few to death when we got together, if it weren't for the fourth brother and Liu Darthead, as well as Liu Yang, we were afraid that we would have to throw a few of our lives."

The people who stayed at home also said, "We didn't go, we stayed at home, how can we divide the money, we can't ask for it." ”

Uncle Wu kept waving his hand, "Everyone went to save our children, I don't pay to thank everyone, how can I still share the silver, I don't want it!" ”

The village chief and Uncle Zhao were so happy, the people in the village were so united and reasonable.

Seeing the two sides pushing around, the village chief said.

"I'm in charge, let's divide it evenly, a total of twenty-one people went to suppress the bandits, two silver bills per person, and the few silver bills left in this way, and the few who stayed at home, were enough for one person. That's it! ”

As he spoke, he began to divide the silver, and at last everyone pinched the heavy silver bills, and they were all happy.

Even Sister-in-law Qiong also curled the corners of her mouth and gave the silver coin to Mrs. Cui.

Of course, there was also the bag of ransom, and the women of each family hurriedly stepped forward to put their own houses in it, and took it back as it was.

The village chief called Tao Hongying, "Hongying, you have been taking care of Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen, you look at this pile of things, what is missing in the small cave, pick it out first." For the rest, you women will watch the divisions. ”

"Okay, uncle, you rest, and we'll do Zhang Luo left."

Tao Hongying hurriedly gathered the women of each family, first picked out a kettle and tea set, a set of pots and pans, a jar of vegetable oil and some salt, etc., and two sets of bedding.

The women of each family looked at each other with a smile, and when she finished picking, she quickly divided the rest.

The village chief shouted to everyone, "Go back and rest, keep those boys at home, don't take money for nothing, and watch the night tonight." Let the fourth child sleep well, and let's study it well tomorrow, and then take shifts on duty in the future. ”

"Got it, Uncle Village Chief."

Everyone responded with a roar, and they all carried their own food and things, and climbed back to the cave.

The Li family has gained too much this time, not to mention the twenty taels of silver, and the grain has been carried back with nearly four bags, one bag of millet is subsidized by everyone, and one bag of sorghum rice is extra obtained by the fourth child and the family fight.

The remaining bag of sorghum noodles and half a bag of japonica rice are the head food of more than a dozen people in the family, and the last half bag of fine noodles is for everyone to supply good news.

After all, the little dolls have been eating Xiaozao with Jiayin all the way, and they have not eaten less eggs that the Li family "picked up", and they have not drunk less pimple soup and white porridge.

Mrs. Li was so happy that she put all the silver and copper coins back, and then kissed her granddaughter's face.

"Fu Niu, have you seen it, you still have to be kind-hearted, good people must have good rewards! Isn't it? ”

Jiayin hugged her grandmother, kissed her on the face, and shouted coquettishly, "Grandma, eat dumplings!" ”

In the past few days, there has been sorghum rice porridge mixed with dried vegetables, and it is so thin that it can shine on the shadows of people, and Jiayin's little belly is deflated.

To tell the truth, my father came back with food, and if she was empty-handed, she would be fighting to be a monster, and she would have to find a way.

The old lady was happy, hesitated for a moment and said, "Let your mother pick up some pimple soup in the evening, and when your third brother comes back tomorrow, we will eat dumplings." ”

Without waiting for Jiayin to speak, Jia Xi Jia'an, who was eavesdropping with his ears on the side, was already crazy with joy, shouting, "Eat dumplings, eat dumplings!" ”

Mrs. Li hurriedly lifted the cigarette pouch and knocked on the pot, "What are you shouting, your father is sleeping!" ”

Jia'an and Jiaxi immediately shrunk their necks, climbed down the cave quickly, and showed off with other friends.

Each family did not lose food, and they all had the intention of making a scene.

I heard that the Li family was going to make dumplings tomorrow, and they all planned to get up. Don't worry about how much, pack a few and let the kids have fun together.

In the small cave, Mrs. Cui took the blood book written by the daughter of the Guo family and sighed softly.

"I was familiar with Mrs. Guo when we were in women's school, but later we both got married, so we slowly drifted apart and didn't move around anymore. I don't want to, it's still so tragic to hear about her death here..."

Sister-in-law Qiong hurriedly persuaded, "Madam, the Guo family has been buried well, and they have also left markers, and it will be easy to find the bones in the future." As long as we send the token to the Guo family, you will have all the friendship of your classmates. ”

Mrs. Cui nodded, "I just... Alas, this world is so difficult, and the blessings and misfortunes are really unpredictable. I thought I was already miserable, but now I have settled here, and I have my life and my life is safe. I don't want the Guo family to be more pitiful, it's really..."

Mr. Wen on the side also responded, "We are also lucky, otherwise we would have frozen to death in the mountains and forests at this time." However, this blood letter cannot be given to the Guo family, just like the people in the village said, we must also keep what happened to Mrs. Guo and others secret. But people's hearts are unpredictable, and this blood book is still kept, just in case. ”

Is this to prevent the Guo family from suspecting the villagers?

Mrs. Cui and Sister-in-law Qiong both felt that it was not enough, but they did not object...

On the second day, after the sun came out, a bonfire was built in the mountain stream, and the village chief and Uncle Zhao gathered all the young people in the village and began to discuss important matters.

"This time I lost the dog leftovers, and I suffered a big loss, we have to remember it for a long time, and we can't rely on the snow to feel that everything is worry-free. Don't say whether there are other mountain bandits in this forest, just say that after the beginning of spring, we will continue to walk through the mountains, so lazy, lazy, I am afraid that I will not be able to climb the mountain at that time. ”

The village chief pinched the cigarette pouch and pot, turned around the ground with his back hand, and spoke seriously.
