Chapter 38: Sell Me the Dog
There are many people in the family these days, and Lai's family has not found a chance to steal her mother-in-law's money, and she has not eaten meat for several days, but she is hungry.
She opened the door lightly, and after checking out the surroundings by the bright moonlight, the cat bent out of the house.
Passing through the middle gate, Lai came to the chicken coop.
The big black dog in the backyard saw Lai's, thought it was a thief, and was about to bark.
"Shut up!" Lai's vicious whispered reprimand.
The big black dog recognized Lai's voice and happily waged his tail.
Lai kicked the big black dog away.
The dog snorted a few times and didn't dare to lean over.
Lai gently opened the chicken cage, took advantage of the chicken's sleep, grabbed the neck of a chicken, stuck the chicken's exclamation in the neck, and then clamped the chicken under the armpit, and the chicken struggled to move.
Lai's actions were done in one go, and he was obviously familiar with stealing chickens.
However, she blamed Dafang for stealing chickens before, and now who should she choose for this scapegoat?
Lai's eyes looked at the big black dog who was looking at her with a face full of grievances.
That's you!
Who told this dog to bark in the middle of the night and make her sleep?
With a sinister smile on Lai's face, the cat went to the kitchen to get the fire fold and salt, opened the back door, and went to the back mountain.
……
An hour later, Lai's mouth was wiped with oil, and he entered Lao Yang's house through the back door with satisfaction.
The big black dog came over with his tail wagging and was kicked away by Lai's disgusted kick.
The kick was a bit heavy, and the big black dog wailed.
Lai Shi hurriedly covered the mouth of the big black dog and warned: "Call to kill you again!" ”
The big black dog seemed to be able to understand human speech, so he immediately stopped barking, and just looked at Lai with innocent and begging eyes.
Lai sneered, stood up, sprinkled a handful of bloody chicken feathers prepared in time in the yard, and then dragged his fat body and went back to sleep satisfied.
……
The hour had not yet come, and it was still dark.
Zhao got up to go to the toilet and saw chicken feathers and half-open chicken coops on the ground.
She hurriedly ran to the chicken coop to count the chickens.
It was too dark, and it took three times for her to be sure. Sure enough, there was one chicken missing!
Almost instantly, the Zhao family solved the case - it must have been done by a dog!
There are no chicken feathers in one place, not even a chicken bone, it's not a dog that eats the chicken, who else can it be?
Well, before the big house stole food, now even the dog steals it, it's just the opposite!
Zhao went to beat the dog with a small stick.
The big black dog crawled on the ground in fear and wailed aggrievedly.
It didn't understand why it was beaten when it happily went to greet its owner.
Zhao hit the dog with a stick, and the dull sound made people frightened when they heard it.
The people who beat the big house in the Zhao family in the past still kept their hands, and they were afraid that it would be difficult to explain if they really beat people to death.
But in the face of a dog that steals chickens, she has no worries.
The big black dog was beaten too painfully and simply dodged.
Zhao's little feet are wrapped, where can he catch up with the dog?
So she simply went to the front yard and called her husband up.
Yang slept in a daze on Chinese New Year's Eve, and his wife dragged him to the backyard to kill the dog, and even handed him a kitchen knife.
Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Dog meat is more than chicken!" After raising it for so long, it's time to eat meat! ”
She swallowed her saliva and looked at the big black dog's eyes, as if she was looking at a piece of fragrant dog meat.
The big black dog looked at the kitchen knife in Yang Chinese New Year's Eve's hand with frightened eyes, trembling all over.
It had seen the knife kill pheasants, goats, and almost iron-eating beasts, and it knew exactly what the kitchen knife was for.
Yang Chinese New Year's Eve took two steps and looked at the big black dog hesitantly.
This dog was picked up by him on the way back to the village, and he was raised to such a big size since he was a milk dog, and it was really reluctant for him to kill it with his own hands.
Zhao threw a stick on her husband's buttocks and urged, "You're here to be a good point!" ”
Yang Chinese New Year's Eve sighed, of course he chose to keep his ass than a dog.
The big black dog saw Yang Chinese New Year's Eve carrying a kitchen knife, took another step towards himself, wailed in fright, and ran away.
Zhao threw a crutch at the big black dog, "Let you run!" ”
The crutch carried the wind and hit the head of the big black dog.
The big black dog only had time to bark halfway before he fell to the ground, as if he had been beaten a little dizzy and could not stand up.
Yang Chinese New Year's Eve held a kitchen knife and went over to check, and Zhao called behind him, "What else to see?" Kill it! ”
Yang Chinese New Year's Eve turned his head to look at Zhao's vicious face, his heart was crossed, his teeth were bitten, and he showed a fierce look.
What is a dog? The daughter-in-law is ruthless, if she doesn't follow her heart, she can't beat him to death?
Yang Chinese New Year's Eve's eyes became firm, raised the kitchen knife, and slashed at the neck of the big black dog.
"Stop!"
The old couple were taken aback by this cry, and the kitchen knife in Yang Chinese New Year's Eve's hand "clanged" to the ground; Zhao screamed, as if he had seen a ghost.
On the wall, Yang Mu scolded loudly.
She was woken up by the sound of a dog barking.
Not barking, not the kind of howl at the moon, but wailing.
She was sure that it was the big black dog of the old Yang family who was screaming, and hurriedly climbed up the wall to see what was happening next door.
As a result, she saw this scene.
Under the miserable white moonlight, Yang Mu fluffed his hair, only one head was exposed on the wall, and looked at the old couple with ghost-like gloomy eyes.
When she saw that the murder had stopped, she flipped over the wall and landed on the ground with her hands on her feet.
Zhao saw that it was her, so angry that he took off his shoes and threw them over, scolding and scolding.
"You kill a thousand knives, you want to scare me to death?"
Yang Mu frowned and dodged the stinky shoe and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Yang Chinese New Year's Eve didn't speak, and Zhao Shi didn't say angrily: "Are you blind?" Can't you see killing a dog? ”
Yang Mu was indignant in his heart, the big black dog hadn't even eaten a full meal since he came to the old Yang's house, and he was either beaten or kicked on weekdays.
In the whole family, the only thing that is good for the big black dog is the big house.
But when the family was separated, the big black dog was unwilling to go with her, but stayed to guard the home.
Such loyal dogs, these two people are so ruthless that they kill and eat meat?!
Yang Mu walked to the dog's side to take a closer look, the big black dog's head was bleeding a lot, and then looked at the crutches on the side, it was not difficult for Yang Mu to guess the situation just now.
"Okay, why did you kill it?" She asked, her voice suppressed with anger.
Zhao pointed to the chicken feathers in a place, and was confident, "It has eaten my chicken, and I will eat it!" ”
Her eyes were full of a thirst for meat.
Yang Mu only glanced at the chicken feathers, and knew that it was a scene deliberately arranged by someone.
As for who?
Oh, who else can there be except for the Lai family in the third room who likes to blame others after stealing and stealing?
She wanted to take this opportunity to rescue the big black dog from the cage, so she simply didn't pierce Lai's, but said, "Sell this dog to me." ”
Yang's eyes brightened instantly on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he privately wanted the dog to live.
It would be great to be able to keep the dog alive and get money at the same time!
Zhao refused without thinking about it: "You are dreaming!" ”
Dashun doesn't like to eat dog meat, so dogs can't be sold at all, at most one or two hundred yuan.
Compared with that money, the Zhao family wanted to make Yang Mu unhappy.
Didn't she want to save the dog?
She's going to slaughter and eat meat!
Right at the door of the ancestral house, eat it in front of her!
Don't be angry with her!
Yang Mu seemed to see Zhao's hatred for himself, and directly offered: "Three taels of silver." ”
There is no market for dog meat, she knows it.
In fact, in Yang Mu's heart, this kind of dog who cares for the home and is very loyal cannot be measured in silver.
But she didn't want the Zhao family to be naked, so she only gave three taels.
Zhao choked.
Three or two?!
That's all a month's silver money from the Yang family's father and son. Although Yang Nan has a big fist and often grabs business, he doesn't always get a big job.
Generally, it is a small job such as building a pigsty and building a horse shed, and there is not much manual money.
Yang Chinese New Year's Eve hurriedly did work for his old wife, "Three taels of silver, a lot!" ”
Why didn't the Zhao family know that three taels of silver was far higher than the price of a dog?
But she just didn't want Yang Mu to be complacent, so she bit her lip and didn't let go.
She could see that Yang Mu liked this dog, and she was sitting on the ground and waiting for Yang Mu to increase the price.
