Chapter 76: When to Leave?
The old Yang family's chickens and dogs jumped all night, and the villagers were a little bold to come out and take a look.
When the villagers saw so many masked men surrounding Lao Yang's house, they had already guessed that it was the bandits from Jiguan Mountain who came to take revenge, where would anyone dare to join in the fun?
On this night, the people of the entire Zhupo village closed their doors, covered themselves in the quilt, and became deaf all night.
In the early hours of the morning, one of the people of the old Yang family was counted as one, all of them were packed in sacks and neatly hung on the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.
In the morning, Mrs. Bao came out of the yard and was about to sit under the big locust tree to continue overlooking life, but she saw that her place was occupied by the whole village.
The people of the entire Zhupo Village, from the seventy or eighty-year-old people to the unweaned dolls, were crowded under the locust tree, looking up at the strange scene that they had never seen in their lives - the old Yang family collectively hung the southeast branch.
The trees were so tall that from the bottom up, the sacks, which occasionally moved, looked like giant hornet's nests.
A gust of wind blew, and the "hornet's nest" swayed in unison, making people's scalps tingle for a while, and feeling that the next sack would fall down.
Li Zheng leaned next to the patriarch, frowned and asked, "Patriarch, are these people still saved?" ”
The old patriarch was dazzled and couldn't see clearly, and asked his son beside him, "How many sacks do you see moving?" ”
Yang Sanbo rubbed his sore neck and said, "There seem to be three." ”
Li Zheng muttered: "This tree is too tall to save people." ”
The old patriarch closed his eyes slightly and said, "The only people in the village who can climb such a tall tree are Ma Sanshou and Zhou Dazhuang. Ma Sanshou said that his hands were shaking recently and he couldn't go up the tree; Zhou Dazhuang also said that his hands were shaking and he couldn't go up the tree. ”
Li Zheng pouted, this excuse is exactly the same, it doesn't drive the brain!
In fact, everyone present knew that Ma Sanshou was afraid of offending the bandits and did not dare to save people; And Zhou Dazhuang didn't want to save the people of the old Yang family at all.
The patriarch sighed and said, "Find Carpenter Li and hit the ladder." When the ladder is ready, we can save them. ”
Li Zheng glanced at the dangling sack worriedly, and muttered in his heart, I don't know if the ladder was done first, or the hemp rope hanging the sack was broken first.
If you fall from a tree so tall, you'll die!
In line with the original intention of not wanting to die, after consulting with the patriarch, Li Zheng gathered the village guys to collect all kinds of hay and spread them under the trees.
Who knows, when the young men heard that they were helping Lao Yang's family, they all said that there was something at home and they had no time to help.
When the villagers made great efforts to find them, the family was sitting around the campfire and sleeping soundly.
Who cares about the lives of an entire village?
Besides, they helped the old Yang family, what should they do when the bandits come back to find trouble with them?
So, Li Zheng had no choice but to let his son find some hay and spread it under the tree.
Mrs. Bao looked at the hay that was about equal to nothing, and sneered.
If someone really falls, this bit of grass will not play any role, and it is just self-deception and making oneself acceptable on conscience.
Lao Yang's family was hung for two days before Carpenter Li made the long ladder well.
By the time Lao Yang's family was rescued, they had already lost half their lives.
When the sacks are opened, there is no worst, only worse.
Several men of the Yang family have large and small injuries on their bodies, and some of the wounds have begun to suppurate.
Zhao was blinded in one eye, his hand tied behind his back, and his wrist bone was crushed.
Ding's mouth was sewn up with needles and threads, and he could no longer utter a word of viciousness. The hand bones of both hands were also broken by someone.
Lai's weight lost two laps, and his spirit was a little trance.
Yang Caixia was cut off, an ugly batch.
The only one who was not injured was Yang Xiaohua. But he was also frightened, he didn't even cry anymore, and the fat one only had a slit in his eyes, and he looked timidly at the surrounding villagers.
Seeing the scene in front of them, the villagers couldn't help but gasp.
They only knew that Cao Xiaoxue's parents were bandits, but they had never seen these bandits do evil, so they were more or less unconcerned.
Some people even said in front of Cao Xiaoxue, "What's so great about the bandit's daughter".
Now, everything in front of them made the villagers really feel the horror of bandits.
If Cao Xiaoxue was willing to tell the bandit's parents about her bullying, I was afraid that the bandits would have done it a long time ago.
So, why didn't Cao Xiaoxue say it?
Aunt Wang in the crowd sighed slightly, others don't know, she knows.
At the beginning, she asked Cao Xiaoxue this question, and even instigated Cao Xiaoxue to go to the bandits' den to complain.
But Cao Xiaoxue said at the time, "My mother's temperament is a cannonball." If she knows these things, she doesn't know what to do. At that time, Yang Dong was not a good person, and I had to be forcibly taken back to the cottage by my mother. ”
Later, Yang Dong died, and Aunt Wang talked to Cao Xiaoxue about it again.
Cao Xiaoxue said, "Mu Yatou is going to marry someone in the future, so she can't be allowed to marry from the bandit cottage, or simply marry a bandit, right?" Also, the stone is still so small, if you grow up in a bandit's den, you can't be a bandit in the future. ”
Aunt Wang had no choice but to let the whole family cooperate with Cao Xiaoxue to act when Wu Dawan and Fang Fugui came, pretending that Cao Xiaoxue was doing well.
In fact, although she helped Cao Xiaoxue, she didn't agree with it in her heart.
What's wrong with the bandits, at least they have meat to eat when they are bandits, and they stay in Lao Yang's house all their lives, and they can't even eat!
But seeing everything in front of her, Sister-in-law Wang suddenly understood Cao Xiaoxue.
She may not be a good daughter, but she is a good mother.
Wang's sister-in-law could not imagine that one day, the soft and glutinous Yang stone would become a bandit, and she would not hesitate to hang people on trees and leave them to fend for themselves.
What a terrible thing is this?
Cao Xiaoxue once said to Aunt Wang with a smile: "When Mu Yatou grows up, I will find her a man who is good to her, let her stay away from Lao Yang's family, and live a good life." As for the stones, this kid is timid, so let's study. I don't have to be admitted to the top prize, just take the exam to be a showman and be a teacher, and I will be satisfied. ”
Aunt Wang's eyes were red inexplicably, people are not as good as heaven, Cao Xiaoxue once died, Mu Yatou and Xiaoshi's lives, I am afraid that they will embark on a completely different path.
……
Yang Mu, who was on vacation in the bandit cottage, didn't know about the feats of the bandits, and she was busy mending the table.
Qiuqiu came to a new environment, and he was very excited, and he went around dismantling his house with big black teeth.
Mu Dalang went out of the cottage a few times, cut a lot of bamboo and came back, seduced a few times, and Qiuqiu was not interested, and he was bent on demolishing the house.
The speed of Yang Mu's repair can't catch up with the speed of the two little guys' demolition.
Chunhua and Xinghua persuaded the husband and wife, saying that the pillar would be a carpenter, and that they would repair the furniture when he returned.
The husband and wife glanced at each other, struggled a little inwardly, and decisively gave up repairing the furniture.
The oven is gone, and Yang Mu can't bake cakes to do business.
The pen and ink are gone, and Mu Dalang can't write a book.
So the two of them lay side by side on the haystack, bathed in the spring sun, and it was rare to steal half a day's leisure.
The shape of the cockscomb mountain resembles a cockscomb, Cao Xiaoxue liked to eat peaches when she was a child, Wu Dawan planted a peach tree on the top of the mountain for her daughter, and now in March, the peach blossoms are blooming.
The cottage stands near the top of the mountain, and the whole cottage is the sweet fragrance of peach blossoms.
Yang Mu squinted his eyes, smelled the fragrance of flowers, and was drowsy.
Mu Dalang felt the rare isolated air, the corners of his mouth were soothing, and his eyebrows were full of the unique elegance of youth.
The girl's red lips opened slightly, and she still asked the question that she had been evading: "Your body is almost well, when are you going to leave?" ”
Starting tomorrow, it will resume around 9 p.m., so you don't have to wait early
