Chapter 5 The village chief regrets
"Aunt Liu, I don't know how our sister and brother provoked you today? You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. If this mushroom is really poisonous, it is a capital crime to poison people according to the law of Great Chu. Shen Qiaoqiao looked at Da Liu and sneered, turned to face everyone and said without humility or arrogance: "I swore in front of my mother's tablet that I would take good care of my younger brother and never give up, if I violated this oath, the sky has eyes, and I will never let me go." ”
"What is the explanation for this mushroom?" Li Hequan snorted coldly, unlike most people in the village, he has always looked down on Shen Yu's family, and those who can be driven out are definitely not good people.
"That's right! What are you picking these mushrooms for? Don't say it's for fun, treat everyone like fools! Da Liu shouted, and threw the mushroom in her hand in the direction of Shen Qiaoqiao, she originally wanted to fall on the girl's face, but Shen Qiaoqiao dodged sideways.
"Da Liu, what are you doing here?" There was a rather majestic shout from the crowd, and everyone got out of the way.
The person who came was Luo Yunsheng, the village chief of Nanding Village, who rushed over as soon as he heard the news, and happened to see Da Liu throwing mushrooms at Shen Qiaoqiao.
"Village chief, you are here just in time, you have to administer justice to everyone, there is such a murderer who intends to murder relatives in the village, we can not sleep well at night!" The one who spoke was Xiao Liu, the younger sister of the Da Liu family, and also the little daughter-in-law of Li Hequan.
Hearing this, Luo Yunsheng's face was slightly gloomy, Shen Yu was kind to him, but he couldn't be too partial at this time.
Seeing the mushrooms that Shen Qiaoqiao was holding in his hand, Luo Yunsheng asked solemnly, "Big girl, Grandpa He asked you what you want to do with mushrooms?" ”
"Naturally, it's eating." Shen Qiaoqiao replied in a calm tone.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Luo Yunsheng said a few quiets, which gradually stabilized the scene. When he looked at Shen Qiaoqiao again, there was pity in his eyes, and there was a tremor in his voice that he had never noticed, "Why are you so confused!" ”
"Evil, the wind of the world is going down, the wind of the world is going down!" Li Hequan flicked his sleeves angrily, his eyes no longer looked at Shen Qiaoqiao, as if he looked at it again, but he was dirty with his eyes.
Da Liu's whole portrait is full of spirit, and he doesn't need to be helped, he pats his ass and stands up neatly.
The surrounding onlookers whispered to each other, as if what was in front of them was not a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, but a murderous demon.
Shen Qiaoqiao protected Shen Feiyang behind him, his clear eyes couldn't see joy and anger, and he stood there straight, letting others look at him.
Somehow, looking at Shen Qiaoqiao like this, the voices of everyone talking gradually became smaller.
Luo Yunsheng sighed, shook his head and said, "Big girl, what else do you have to explain?" ”
Without waiting for Shen Qiaoqiao to speak, Xiao Liu's shrill voice sounded on the side and urged: "I said village chief, what else is there to explain this, Shen Qiaoqiao himself admitted that he wanted to murder his own brother, what are you hesitating about?"
Shen Qiaoqiao smiled, "If I remember correctly, I just said that mushrooms are for eating, when did I say that I wanted to murder my own brother?" ”
"The dead duck has a hard mouth and quibbles, is it possible that you want to eat this poisonous mushroom yourself?" Da Liu asked disdainfully.
"Are mushrooms poisonous or not, how does my aunt know? If you have empty mouths and white teeth, you will be condemned, is it possible that the aunt is stricter than the law of this Da Chu! Shen Qiaoqiao raised the mushroom in his hand and showed it to everyone, "This mushroom is called milk pulp mushroom, my mother taught me to identify it before she died, although the color is bright but it is non-toxic." If you don't believe me, you might as well wait a moment. ”
Shen Qiaoqiao took off the kettle on his waist, cleaned the mushrooms, and swallowed most of them in one gulp in front of everyone's eyes.
"I dare to eat it to confirm that this mushroom is fine, but the two aunts are so eloquent, don't you just don't agree to what you just did, so you want to slander us for fratricidal." Shen Qiaoqiao saluted respectfully to everyone, looked at Luo Yunsheng again, and knelt down with a flutter.
"Qiaoqiao asks the village chief's grandfather to call the shots!"
Seeing his sister kneeling, Shen Feiyang also knelt down, "Ask the village chief and grandfather to call the shots!" ”
Luo Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that the mushroom was not poisonous, and then listened to Shen Qiaoqiao's words, there was something he didn't understand in his heart, so he immediately helped the person up and comforted: "Good boy, if you have any grievances, tell grandpa, grandpa will definitely administer justice for you!" ”
Shen Qiaoqiao is not timid, she is not a pure ancient, she naturally doesn't like to kneel around, Luo Yunsheng stood up as soon as he helped him, and did not forget to pull Shen Feiyang up.
"Since our family moved to Nanding Village, we have never done anything to be sorry for the village. Dad took the villagers to the mountains to hunt together, and the harvest has always been distributed fairly. The mother and mother are husbands and children at home, and they are kind to their neighbors and have never had quarrels with others. Our sister and brother are young, and they have always been well-behaved and sensible. I wonder if this is wrong? Shen Qiaoqiao's eyes were clear, and when she looked at Luo Yunsheng, she was even more open.
Luo Yunsheng nodded subconsciously, and couldn't say anything strange in a blink of an eye.
"Li Lao Xiucai, dare to ask according to the law of Great Chu, if the elders in the family die, the direct juniors should keep filial piety for a few years?" Shen Qiaoqiao's old face was red in her heart, and her face was still open. It's the first time she's boasted about herself like this, but she can't care so much about it now.
Li Hequan, who was ordered by Shen Qiaoqiao, snorted coldly and said: "According to the law of Great Chu, no matter whether you are rich or poor, if the elders die, the children in the family should be filial piety for three years, and if they have already left the cabinet, they are not counted. ”
"May I ask if I can get married during the period of filial piety?" Shen Qiaoqiao continued to ask.
"I can't!" Li Hequan stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Filial piety comes first, and it is absurd to talk about marriage during the period of filial piety as a child!" ”
"It's a good sentence that filial piety comes first, Aunt Liu first ignored the filial piety of our sister and brother, and stopped people halfway to say goodbye. and then deceived me and the two of us at a young age, and forcibly pulled them to prevent them from returning home. It was clear that I accidentally fell, but I kept slandering me, saying that I didn't distinguish between right and wrong and being evil, and that I ...... And said I ......"
Shen Qiaoqiao didn't say the rest of the words, but most of the people present understood that Luo Yun was born for a long time, so he asked, "What did you say?" ”
Shen Qiaoqiao lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly, her face flushed as if she had mustered up courage, and she took a deep breath before slowly raising her head, every word was clear and bright.
"Say that I am hiding a man and murdering my brother, and I just want to be happy!"
The originally clear eyes were filled with mist, and the tone was stubborn with the strength of the weak, and the small body was still standing straight, but in the eyes of everyone, it looked more and more pitiful and helpless.
"Ridiculous!" Luo Yunsheng regretted that he had just taken the liberty of asking, how much humiliation should he endure before he could say it from a woman's mouth.
How much he regretted it at this moment, how angry he was in his heart, and the angry shout made the big and small Liu shiver.
