Chapter 82: The Beast Enters the Village
Xu Shiyan's words from his daughter-in-law Wangfu almost made Su Weizhong cry.
Back then, Sun suffered from tuberculosis after giving birth to Su Anying, and this patient was called "Xie Hua tuberculosis".
It is said that if you give birth to a daughter, you will get it, and if you give birth to a son, you will be fine.
So when Sun died, many people said behind their backs that Su Anying's life was not good, and she was a relative.
Especially after more than ten years of Han's family, he gave birth to four daughters one after another, and there was no boy, and some people said that this was all Su Anying's fault.
In those years, although feudal superstitions were broken on the surface, people's thoughts were still deep-rooted in their bones.
Su Weizhong naturally didn't believe in this, but he couldn't stand someone thinking so.
In addition, the situation of the Su family is complicated, and many people are worried about the front room and the back nest, so there are few people who propose marriage to Su Anying.
In those years, Su Weizhong didn't know how much gray hair he had because of Su Anying's family affairs.
So as soon as others introduced Xu Shiyan, the Su family simply nodded and agreed.
Seeing that after his daughter got married, life was getting better and better, Su Weizhong couldn't be happier.
Now Xu Shiyan said Su Anying's words again, which can be regarded as completely breaking Su Weizhong's heart knot.
"Second child, your family is blessed, you have found a good son-in-law."
As the elder brother, Su Weicheng couldn't be clearer about his younger brother's heart knot, and immediately patted Su Weizhong's shoulder to show comfort.
"Yingzi got married and had a baby, and the family was separated, and the small life is getting better and better.
You, you don't have to worry about anything in the future, you have your aunt to protect you. ”
"Yes, our family Eiko is blessed." Su Weizhong grinned.
The men talked and laughed and chatted casually, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became, and the more they talked, the more lively they became, and they were quite unstoppable in the back.
If it weren't for Han Shi and the others who prepared a meal and beckoned them to eat, these people were afraid that they would be able to chatter until the evening.
When the food is served, it is still divided into two tables in the east and west rooms.
The East House carried two bottles of wine, and the men drank them until dark.
In the end, one by one they drank and staggered, but fortunately, the two families were close, and they arrived in a few steps, and Feng took Su Weicheng home.
Here, Su Weizhong also drank a lot, and fell asleep directly.
Xu Shiyan was poured a lot of wine, and he also sat there and went straight to the lake.
When Han saw it, she simply arranged for the two to sleep in the East House, and she led her five daughters to sleep in the West House, so that her mother could still chat a little bit at night.
Xu Shiyan accompanied Su Anying and stayed at her mother's house for three days, in the middle of which Xu Shiyan led her daughter-in-law to Zhou's house and visited her grandmother.
The old man had suffered some blows in the early years, and when he was older, he was not sane, sometimes sober and sometimes unclear.
When I saw Xu Shiyan and Su Anying, I remembered it, and I talked upside down for a while.
Xu Shiyan's uncle and second uncle are both in the camp, and they are quite close when they see Xu Shiyan, and when they learn that Xu Shide got married on the 26th of the month, they all said that they will definitely go to drink wine and join in the fun.
On the afternoon of the sixth day of the lunar month, the young couple said goodbye and left Su's house and returned by car.
It was dark late in winter, and when I entered the village, it was dark.
The big house is in the middle of nowhere, there is no electricity, and kerosene lamps or candles are used at night.
Nowadays, most people are very frugal, where are they willing to not sleep at night and light the lamp to boil oil? Usually I rest early.
But as soon as I entered the village today, it was obvious that something was not right, many houses were shining brightly, and there were militiamen patrolling the entrance of the village with guns.
"Chunming, construction, what's going on? Why are you all out on patrol? Xu Shiyan saw that it was Yang Chunming, and asked hurriedly.
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
"Young, third brother, where did you come from? What are you leading your sister-in-law around this big night? Hurry home. ”
Yang Chunming also recognized Xu Shiyan, and hurriedly drove Xu Shiyan home.
"No, what's going on, why do you all look like you're facing a great enemy?"
Xu Shiyan became more and more strange, why does this look like an enemy?
It can't be true, right? No, what years have you been?
"Third brother, haven't you been at home these days? It's spread everywhere, don't you know? Zhao Jianshe leaned over with a curious look and asked.
"I accompanied your sister-in-law back to the camp, and I haven't been in the village for the past few days, what's wrong?"
Xu Shiyan was confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
"No wonder, of course you don't know if you're not in the village.
The Chen family's hill went in the night before yesterday and a pack of wolves took away the livestock raised in the village.
On the other side of the house, a herd of wild boars went in the night before, and a lot of things were harmed. Zhao Jianshe hurriedly told Xu Shiyan what had happened in the past few days.
Chenjia Hill, located in the west of the Dongjiang River, there is a natural tun there, a total of 28 households, 98 people.
Because there is a small hill on the north side of the tun, in 1910, there was a person surnamed Chen who cultivated ginseng on the mountain, so it was named Chenjia Xiaoshan.
The house is located eight miles south of the Chen family's small mountain, with 57 households and more than 300 people.
In 1910, there was a ginseng family surnamed Yan who lived there and later moved away, so people called this place Yan's house, referred to as Fangchang.
Both of these places are not too far from the brigade along the Dongjiang River, and they have been attacked by wild beasts one after another in recent days, and have lost a lot of property.
When the Dongjiang Brigade heard the news, in order to prevent wild beasts from entering the village, they arranged for the militia to stand guard and patrol.
"What kind of patrol is this, you have to take people to hunt in the mountains." When Xu Shiyan heard this, he shook his head again and again.
If you can't just keep it, who knows where those beasts will go? In this cold day, people patrol and stand guard outside, and what a sin.
"I didn't shoot pigs for three years, and I was so hungry that the baby cried. There is nothing wrong with the words left by the elders.
Our commune hasn't organized hunters to hunt in the mountains for several years, so why don't they flood now? ”
Xu Shiyan shook his head, this kind of thing has to be solved from the root, and it is useless to just guard it.
"Third brother, the hunters in our village are all old, and how many of the younger generation are really good at hunting?
In the past few years, no one has been able to lead the team into the mountains. Yang Chunming sighed.
Unlike the Orions, the militia can only shoot guns, but they are not good at tracking and hunting wild animals.
"My father suggested it to the above, but the commune hasn't come up with a charter yet.
There was no choice but to arrange for someone to guard like this and wait for the reply from the commune. Over there, Zhao Jianshe also sighed.
Several powerful gunners in the village are too old to enter the mountains anymore.
The younger generation now wants to recruit workers to go to the city, or to work in the forest farm, and few of them really have the ability to lead people to hunt.
"Huh? By the way, third brother, don't you know how to hunt? ”
Zhao Jianshe suddenly remembered, wouldn't this person in front of him be hunting? Everyone has heard that Xu Shiyan has been drawing a lot this winter.
"Otherwise, you lead us into the mountains together, if you really kill those wild boars and wolves, we can also celebrate the New Year in peace."
Zhao Jianjian's eyes widened, yes, why did the big guy forget about Third Brother Xu?
