CHAPTER XLVII
Mei Sanniang came to Old Man Li's house again, this time no one greeted her, only a cold wind was ushered in.
On the day of the funeral, Mei Sanniang did not attend because she was grounded.
After she took out the money and handed it over to the village chief, Mei Sanniang's move attracted the attention of the villagers.
At first, when the old man Li was buried, he was going to be buried with a straw mat, and Mei Sanniang immediately found the village chief and asked to buy a coffin, but the money to buy the coffin became a difficult matter.
Who is willing to pay for a person who has no relatives and no reason, no one has paid for the coffin, Mei Sanniang has received the favor of Old Man Li, she promised Old Man Li that she will definitely let him leave with dignity.
So Mei Sanniang personally customized the coffin, but unfortunately she was driven out before she attended the funeral that day, and the funeral was presided over by the village chief.
But even the village chief couldn't stop the villagers from coaxing, everyone pointed the finger at Mei Sanniang, Mei Sanniang took out the coffin capital after the death of the old man Li, and bought a lot of fragrant money paper, everyone knew that Mei Sanniang would go to the old man Li's house from time to time, which made some people feel bad.
They said that Mei Sanniang was a vixen, and after harming the young man, she targeted the old man, and inherited the old man's property after killing the old man.
On the day of the funeral, Mei Sanniang was kicked out as soon as she arrived, she only saw a coffin being carried out, a group of people in white followed around, the village chief walked in the forefront, Mei Sanniang wanted to send off the old man Li, but was directly pushed to the ground by Li Gu and a group of men, and tied her up.
Mei Sanniang glared at these people, the faces of these people were very familiar to her, they were the group of people instructed by Li Gu.
"What are you doing! In broad daylight, tying up the living? ”
Mei Sanniang tried her best to break free, but how could she break free from these big men with her strength, she didn't want to make trouble at Old Man Li's funeral, she asked fiercely, "What do you mean?" ”
Li Gu looked at Mei Sanniang and said arrogantly: "You killed Old Man Li, and you are still here to see you off?" If Old Man Li knew about it, he would have to cheat the corpse. ”
Mei Sanniang looked at the other party suspiciously, she didn't understand what Li Gu meant, she was a little puzzled.
How do you know that Li Gu said again: "Your means of cheating money are really high, you deserve to be such a good-looking woman, I want to try it." ”
Li Gu touched Mei Sanniang's face, not to mention how tender this feel is, it looks like a woman who gave birth to two babies.
Mei Sanniang waited for Li Gu, this little kid dared to hit her attention, although the old cow eats tender grass, but the man in front of her is a commodity that Mei Sanniang dislikes.
doesn't respect the elderly, idleness all day long, no self-motivation at all, and worries about asking for money everywhere, doing things that are not done by people, and another point is that this man is disgusted, with a high-minded face.
"What are you doing? Keep your hands clean. ”
Mei Sanniang wanted to bite the other party, but was grabbed by the person next to Li Gu.
"What are you doing! It hurts me. ”
"Mei Sanniang, this is what everyone meant, you are a murderer now, and you are embarrassed to shout."
Mei Sanniang was very puzzled, when did she become a murderer, and she was so humiliated by Li Gu.
"Li Gu, you have wronged people."
Li Gu said everything, and he asked Mei Sanniang: "Did you say that you wanted the property of Old Man Li's family to be close to him?" For this money, a living life was killed. Mei Sanniang, won't your conscience hurt? ”
"Nonsense!"
When did Mei Sanniang do such a conscientious thing, but she didn't expect to be beaten upside down at this time.
"I haven't done it."
Li Gu doesn't care whether Mei Sanniang does it or not, this profit belongs to Mei Sanniang, which is enough to show that Mei Sanniang killed Old Man Li, but it's a pity that such a beautiful woman can only be buried for Old Man Li.
"Let's go, escort Mei Sanniang back."
Li Gu took the initiative to apply for Mei Sanniang's affairs, and the village chief didn't think much about it, so Li Gu locked Mei Sanniang in his thatched house, which was used to raise pigs before, but now it is full of firewood, and Mei Sanniang can still smell pig from time to time, maybe because of imagination.
Mei Sanniang was lying in the thatched house, she stared at the wall, and for a while her empty eyes had a hopeless expression.
She is now properly imprisoned, and no one helps her, but she says that she killed Old Man Li.
Mei Sanniang didn't expect it to be like this, she curled up in the firewood, warmed her palms with a little ha, and suddenly a warm breath jumped in her hands, Mei Sanniang warmed up a lot.
I don't know how long it took for the door to open again, Mei Sanniang shouted a lot to no avail, and when she was tired, she lay down in the firewood and slept for a while.
After a long time, the door finally opened, accompanied by the sound of coughing, Mei Sanniang saw familiar faces, and they all said that the farmer and the snake, the old man came to bring her food, and did not let her go.
"Uncle, can you let me out? What exactly did I do? You all do this to me? Am I not a life? Execute others at will, is this the royal law? ”
Mei Sanniang wanted to rush out across the uncle, but before she could reach the door, the two men pushed her back, Mei Sanniang fell into the firewood, and there was a tingling pain in her ankle.
She covered her feet and limped to her feet, and then the uncle spoke.
"Eat something? There isn't much left at home. ”
Mei Sanniang hesitated to take the bowl, because she was so hungry, but before she could take the bowl, someone snatched it.
"Eat so good? How can a dying person eat so well? This woman is a crazy woman, if she eats well, she is a waste of food, so let me eat it! Anyway, your son and we are all friends, and the family of friends is our family, and of course we must honor us when we eat. ”
Mei Sanniang swallowed her saliva, the family was clearly imprisoning people, and they were so arrogant.
The food was snatched away, and Mei Sanniang was ridiculed.
"You can look at the old man, I don't know if this old man is better or if we are young?"
Mei Sanniang ignored these people, her ankle was aching faintly now, and she didn't dare to move half a step at all.
After waiting for the people to finish nagging, Mei Sanniang slowly crawled to the position, and picked up the fine firewood velvet, she lay comfortably, licking the corners of her dry mouth.
Seeing that there were still people outside, she shouted, "You can't run away even if I'm dead." ”
Mei Sanniang yelled, but she stopped shouting after a while, shouting was too hard, she was thirsty and hungry now.
The man outside saw that Mei Sanniang didn't move, so he chatted outside.
"This Mei Sanniang is really good, she was a shrew when she went to fake before, she didn't touch it much, she didn't feel it."
"Hey, hey, you're not going to be interested in this woman, are you?"
"Don't you mean that, too? Besides, who knows? ”
"You're right, the dying man might as well be cheaper for the two of us."
"It's not good to do these things in the daytime now, come later, anyway, in a few days, this Mei Sanniang will be disposed of, murdered Old Man Li, she must not be paid for her life?"
"That's what you said."
"We'll talk about it in the evening."
The two men seemed to be unable to hear Mei Sanniang, Mei Sanniang held the dry wood tightly, she stood up slightly, her body was like weightless, she couldn't stand steadily, and there were bursts of pain in her ankles.
Now it's hard to stand up and walk a step or two, let alone how to escape.
She tugged at the firewood fiercely, gritted her teeth, and was very wary of every move outside the door, and she also picked a solid firewood from the pyre.
If those people dared to plot against her, Mei Sanniang would be the first to beat them.
After the doorkeeper left, Mei Sanniang was almost hungry and had no strength, and at this moment, the door "clicked" and opened suddenly, Mei Sanniang didn't have the strength to raise her eyelids, not to mention the firewood she picked up before, she couldn't wave it.
That's when the man spoke.
"It's me, kid."
"Ahem."
Hearing the sound of coughing, Mei Sanniang finally knew who it was.
"Kid, are you alright?"
"Your feet are all purple, I'll help you get the bruises out."
Mei Sanniang said weakly: "I want to eat something, can you give me some water?" ”
The uncle took out the water and food, Mei Sanniang took the roasted sweet potato and ate it, she was really hungry and everything was fragrant, and she drank a lot of water in a row.
"Why do you want to imprison me? Is there no royal law? Are you not afraid to enter the game? ”
Mei Sanniang was so weak that she couldn't even roar, and the uncle comforted: "Child, heal your feet first, so you can walk well." ”
"Hmm." Where does Mei Sanniang have the strength to scold now, there is nothing wrong with what the uncle said, she should indeed cure her foot now, but she needs to force the bruises out after this broken foot, and the uncle has no fire cup.
As soon as Mei Sanniang thought about it, the uncle took out the tools.
There are also acupuncture and fire, the uncle deserves to be the uncle, he took out the acupuncture to eliminate the disinfection, and after the scalding, he pricked Mei Sanniang's feet, and the jar was covered, and the blood flowed out in a hurry.
Acupuncture is actually not painful, mainly because the psychological process is a bit unacceptable, coupled with a slight puncture, the process of bloodletting makes people look a little uncomfortable.
Mei Sanniang didn't close her eyes the whole time, she looked at the blood flowing out of her ankle, although she was bleeding, she still needed to recuperate for many days, and she couldn't exercise vigorously at this time, let alone run.
"Uncle, you haven't told me what happened, why did you imprison me?"
At this time, the uncle finally spoke.
"The villagers all said that you hurt Old Man Li, didn't you pack some medicine for me and my wife a few days ago? I don't think there's anything wrong with your medicine, you see my wife can get out of bed now, and I don't have the same cough as before, but some people say that your medicine hurt Old Man Li. The village chief found the unfinished medicine bag at Old Man Li's house, and Old Man Li died in the kitchen, and there was a bowl of fried medicine next to him before he drank half a bowl. ”
"If there is a problem with this medicine, it is estimated that you will not be able to see me now, eighty percent of the big brother did not hold on, so he could only leave first."
"This person, no one can know when he will leave."
Mei Sanniang finally understood.
