Chapter 55: Preparing supplies for the winter
Those people were terrified.
They were already wounded, and they were still feverish when it was almost dawn, and they were still weak at this time, so they were left to hang on their breath.
If you are beaten again, then this last breath will not be saved.
So, they had no choice but to confess the facts of their crimes.
However, they all said in unison that they did not steal anything from Chen Dashan's house.
Chief Niu also forced them to ask if they had any other accomplices.
Since it was a gang crime, it was hard to find that there were still people left behind in the camp.
They didn't want to talk about it, but when they put it on the ground and smashed it, they peed their pants in fright.
had to confess his accomplices.
Chief Niu hurriedly asked the master to draw the portraits of his accomplices according to what they said.
After drawing several pictures, I finally drew a portrait that was 60% similar.
After Niu Baochang finished this, he felt as if he had done something with a lot of opinions, so he asked people to take these people back to the prison first, and beckoned not to kill people.
He himself hurriedly went to see the county magistrate with a confession and a portrait.
In fact, it was useless for Chen Dashan and them to go.
Soon came out of the government.
After coming out, the people in Qingniu Town came around and asked them what was going on?
It doesn't matter whether it's the people from the town in Qingniu Town, or the people who come to the market from outside, everyone is like acquaintances at this time, and they come to inquire about the news.
Mrs. Chen told them about last night's events.
All the people were terrified.
This loss is to run to Chen Dashan's house, if they run to their house, they can't beat them at all.
They all say that good people have good rewards, and bad people have heavenly reaps, and so on.
And they went home.
When the people in the village saw that they had returned, they all came to ask them what was the matter?
Mrs. Chen told them about the affairs of the government again.
When they heard that the thieves had accomplices, they were terrified.
Li Zheng knocked on the dry tobacco pouch and said, "Chen, it's not me who said you, your family is a big tree." ”
Mrs. Chen said: "What Uncle Yang said is true, but I am also worried that it will snow in winter, and there will be no food to eat at that time, so Dashan hurried to buy grain, who knew that he was worried about the thieves."
In any case, it's just not right for a thief to steal.
My family has food, and it is also mine, which is obtained by the mountains and hard work to cut wood.
Why do they steal? The proprietor has a lot of food, does it have anything to do with those thieves? ”
Li Zheng was speechless by Mrs. Chen's snatching for a while.
Yes, it was the thief's fault for stealing things, how could he blame Chen?
He changed his tone and said, "But fortunately, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and you can be regarded as in danger this time." ”
"Yes, everyone don't have to worry, Chief Niu has already drawn the portraits of those thieves and accomplices, and he will definitely report to the county master to deal with it." Mrs. Chen said.
Everyone else thinks she is arrogant, where is she arrogant?
The people in the village breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone went to the fields again to get busy.
Mrs. Chen and her family went home, and when they returned home, they didn't know what to do for a while.
Just passed by the thieves last night, and Chen Dashan didn't dare to go up the mountain to chop wood.
Mrs. Chen didn't want him to go, probably because she had palpitations.
However, it is really uncomfortable to be idle.
It's not a taste.
Chen Dashan is a person who can't be idle.
He was bored, so he put the firewood in order again.
and put all the stools and chairs in the house neatly arranged.
Then I went to pull out the weeds that grew in the yard.
Then I went to comb the horse's mane.
Mrs. Chen saw that he was really bored, so she arranged a job for him, and said:
"Dashan, you hold the girl, and I will make clothes with Guilan."
"Hey." Chen Dashan picked up the little begonia, looked left and right in front of the horse, and thought that he had to buy a beautiful saddle.
He couldn't ride a horse, but he wanted to.
He had already thought of the scene of riding a horse and taking the little begonia for a ride in the future.
He held the little begonia in one hand, and continued to comb the horse's mane with the other.
While combing, he also talked to Xiao Haitang, which was nothing more than saying that Daddy would take you to ride a horse.
Daddy takes you up the mountain to pick wild fruits.
Mrs. Chen and Chen Liu made cotton clothes, listening to Chen Dashan and the eldest girl.
Chen Liu just doesn't have Mrs. Chen's dexterity, and she doesn't work as fast.
But it's not that I won't do it.
In the afternoon, Dr. He came over.
He was also a little puzzled, and couldn't figure out why Mrs. Chen bought so much food and put it at home.
It's impossible for someone as smart as her not to know the truth that the tree is so popular.
He came to find Chen Dashan and saw that he was holding the little begonia and combing the horse.
The horse obediently motionless let him comb it, thinking to himself that this horse is really obedient.
Really listen to Chen Dashan's words.
"The mountains." Dr. He shouted.
Chen Dashan saw that it was Dr. He who came, and hurriedly welcomed him to the courtyard to sit.
When Dr. He entered the courtyard, he saw Mrs. Chen and Chen Liu doing needlework, so he didn't go inside.
He stood at the gate and talked to Chen Dashan.
I asked about going to the government.
Chen Dashan told him what had happened.
From here, Dr. He shifted the topic to food and asked, "Why do you buy so much food and keep it at home?" ”
Chen Dashan told him about their concerns.
Dr. He frowned tightly and said, "After a long time, you bought more food to feed the ducks?" ”
Chen Dashan said: "Yes, my mother said that if the mountain is closed by a big snowfall, what should I do with so many mouths?" ”
"Isn't that easy? You killed the ducks and ate them? ”
Chen Dashan hurriedly said: "This is not good, they have laid so many eggs for our family, how can we bear to kill them?" ”
Dr. He was speechless.
Isn't it just to raise these things for food?
They couldn't bear it.
He said: "Actually, all these things may not depend on food.
If you want to eat food, how much food do you need to eat with so many ducks? ”
Chen Dashan asked, "Then what do you mean?"
When you go to grind the dough, don't you have wheat bran? Isn't there rice bran when you make rice?
Now go mow a little more grass, wild soybeans, do you recognize?
Cut the wild soybeans back and dry them and mash them, mix them with wheat bran and rice bran, and then mix them with some soybean flour and corn. ”
"Will this work?"
"Of course, even if you can't find wild soybeans, straw is fine, corn stalks are fine.
And it's not like the ducks can't find anything to eat in winter. ”
"In winter, the rivers are frozen, where can I find something to eat?
It's true that the river is frozen, but the reeds won't all freeze.
There are always gaps in the roots of the reeds. ”
Chen Dashan suddenly felt that it made sense, the roots of the reeds in winter would indeed not bear fruit and freeze.
There's always a gap there.
Maybe you'll be able to get something to eat.
"Then I'll have to go mow the grass quickly."
"It's because you have to mow more grass, and the horses have to eat a lot of grass in a winter." Dr. He said.
