In modern time, it takes 10 hours to walk briskly from Erdaohe Village to the town. It takes a day and a half to get from town to county.

Calculating the round-trip time, even if there are donkey carts, ox carts, and mule carts, it will take at least three days to go back and forth.

After all, these means of transportation will not make you much faster, they will only make the journey less tiring.

The horse was fast, but no one dared to pull his foot with that.

It can be said that there are no horse-drawn carriages in the whole town, and it is not a matter of whether you can't afford it.

It is required that only those officials who have more than one person in the family or who work at the entrance of the government are allowed to use horses.

Permission does not mean that you will be equipped, but you must first file a permit for the horses when you pay out of your own pocket.

For example, Zhao Zhutou has an old horse, which was rewarded to him by Shangfeng before, and after he returns to the place, the first thing he has to register the source of the horse before he can use it.

Horses are strategic materials, and the DPRK manages them very tightly.

It can be seen that it will take many days for Wang Laoba to complain.

And Wang Laoba didn't go to the county to see his cousin.

Why is Wang Li tossing to go to the county seat, in order to communicate with some officials who are often in contact, Wang Laoba does not dare to find the restaurant Qinglou to disturb, and needs to wait for Wang Lizheng to come back.

What's more, he has burns on his body, and he has to go to the hospital halfway, otherwise he won't dare to touch the water, and he is careful to even drink water for fear of burning his mouth.

So in these days when the dragons in Wangjiagou Village were leaderless, many things happened.

Wangjiagou is still bombarding in the middle of the night.

"Take the fish and exchange it for the mother."

"The fish is out, it's not enough, what do you get in exchange, fingers?"

"This is really not your own mother, no wonder you say that your daughter-in-law just can't do it, if your mother is caught, you still think about fish, I think you are just uneasy and kind-hearted!"

"I don't have intestines, you have it, you have the ability to go to the two rivers, you have the ability."

The eight married girls who were arrested have all returned, and every family is fighting with their brothers and sisters-in-law:

"Brother, listen to your daughter-in-law's words, now my mother is not sure how to suffer from it, it has enmity with your village, the leather whip and wax oil are all on it, and if you are hungry for another day, good people will be hungry, she is still thinking about whether money is money, you squeak me, don't leave there and pretend to be deaf!"

"I'm not coming back from Si Wait, so there must be an explanation."

"If you wait for him, my mother will have to be cold, can my mother afford to wait? I heard that the king and the eighth were beaten away, so I happily exchanged fish or silver money for people first, and I will go now! ”

There are also many foreign-married women who sit on the kang at home and cry, because their sons-in-law came back to help their father-in-law's family fight and were beaten, why did they take the man back to her mother-in-law's house, and the mother-in-law's family must not tear them apart.

No, many in-laws are arguing with the people of Wangjiagou Village:

"When you came to help, you didn't say that you would be hurt, you said that you were full of people to scare and scare the other side, but now you are scalded like this, and you can't take medicine to see a doctor? Who pays for the medicine? ”

"They are all real relatives, how can they still say such things? It's chilling. ”

"Oh my God, you don't make people feel cold. We have thrown away all the work at home, and we didn't ask for a penny of hard-earned money for nothing, and we didn't want to say thank you, at least this is to help you hurt, do you want to have an explanation? ”

"We didn't hurt people, you go to whoever hurts, and you have the ability to go to Erdaohe to ask for money for medicine."

"We're here to help you guys, and you're still going wrong? Why are you still playing scoundrels? We will look for whoever we rush, and we will look for the two rivers. ”

"You know what you're rushing for. At the beginning, I don't know who licked his face and begged the matchmaker to come to our village to say goodbye, but they were so poor that they couldn't wait to let our village pick a girl. A bunch of poor relatives, who come to the door to fight famine in bad years, don't they just want to make a head this time, and turn around to borrow food from us? ”

"It's unreasonable, I know that you Wang Jiagou have a way of playing scoundrels."

How many people quarrel and fight together.

In addition, there are more than 30 people who have been burned with firewood, and when they close the door, their hearts are unbalanced: "Why is it burning to my house, not someone else's." Then we were burned for the whole village, should there be an explanation in the village? ”

In short, when you can fight the hostile village, those who quarrel are not a problem, whoever loses will bear whoever loses, and you can find a pick-up man to lose money, food and firewood.

But when it can't be beaten, Wangjiagou Village is not as united as imagined.

And the above tastes, twelve years ago, one of the families surnamed Liu in Erdaohe Village tasted all of them. It was also that incident that shocked the whole village of Erdaohe, so they were so honest.

This family's name is Liu Yongtian, and they are still related to Liu Laozhu.

Just because the third boy in the family named Mingzi secretly fished two baskets of fish, he was found by a group of people in Wangjiagou, and he smashed the pot and broke Liu Yongtian's leg.

Liu Yongtian broke his leg to protect his son, and the neighbors who came to help were not lightly injured. Besides, there's no such thing. If you do that, who will take a look at the noise in the house in the future.

Fortunately, in those years, the wind and rain were smooth, and the Liu family sold more food to endure hunger, which could give the head of the family a good look, and also had spare money and help the injured family to walk around.

Now that Liu Yongtian has passed away, when he died, the broken right leg was still limping when he walked quickly.

Tonight, his old wife was working to pave the gravel road, while deserting, often doing it and stopping the work at hand, and when she got closer, she would hear her muttering: "Old man, are you relieved." ”

He muttered again: "Mingzi, my old son, where are you going to work, my mother knows that you are ashamed of your family, so she will rush to earn copper plates in front of your eldest brother and second brother after harvesting grain." Don't do it, come back and see, our village has beaten the other village to the, you should also come back and hit a few sticks to vent your anger, or if they don't come back and make trouble, they won't have a chance. ”

The other mothers-in-law who paved the stone with her pretended not to hear, and did not urge them to work faster, knowing that Mingzi Niang was aggrieved.

Presumably, after more than ten years of sleep, he will babble and spit out two mouthfuls of foam and scold: "Why don't Wangjiagou die of plague." ”

Anyway, if it were them, they would be scolded like this, and they would also be cursed by stepping on the soles of their feet during the New Year's Festival.

In stark contrast to the chaos of Wangjiagou, Erdaohe Village is also brightly lit at this time, but they are working in full swing.

The old lady and daughter-in-law on the dam lit oil lamps, and they were paving the gravel road for the fishing boys.

The new ship under the dam is testing whether it leaks or not: "It's done, fourth grandfather." ”

The fourth uncle said yes again and again, and at the same time signaled to the kid who carried the stretcher to send him back to the village entrance quickly, and the second boat was only half done, and he had to stay up all night to catch up.

Because the three ships of the Liu family will carry 6,000 catties of fish offshore the day after tomorrow at the latest.

They had to get together the five ships belonging to the village when the Liu's boat left.

And if you cast the net again tonight, Erdaohe Village finally doesn't have to hide anymore, just like being a thief last night, I can't wait to pray for the splash and don't make a sound.

On the river, counting the newly built sixth boat, there are torches, and the men are throwing off their arms and casting their nets and shouting trumpets.

They also had to make up the 6,000 catties of fish they wanted for Lao Liu's family within two days.

People have designated species, not all kinds of fish, and the price is very low, not suitable.

But everyone discussed, the boat boss offended Wangjiagou for their village, at least this time they couldn't let people run empty boats, everyone didn't think about whether it was cost-effective and stored, and directly wholesaled it to the Liu family at one time.

Besides, this kind of moment of fighting with Wangjiagou is not suitable for every household to push a cart to go out to sell fish.

When they heard the lively sound of trumpets coming from the other side of the Erdao River, there were also many small fishing boats casting nets on the side of Wangjiagou, they pretended not to hear and continued to work with their heads down, and even some of them deliberately rowed their fishing boats far away, and the net position was far away from the Erdao River.

Didn't you see the boats on the Erdao River with archers?

Ke Teniang's exaggeration, the arrow feather is the kind of arson, and when they shoot it, their boat will land again, and Erdaohe can be regarded as tasting the sweetness of arson.

The fishermen of Wangjiagou cursed in their hearts.

Even those who came to exchange hostages were smiling on the surface, and they wanted to hate Erdaohe in their hearts.

"Hi-hoo? Don't fight! "Why are you throwing that toner bun in the middle of the night?

The four uncles lit a fire at the entrance of the village to illuminate it, and were nailing wooden wedges to the hull of the boat, when they heard the sound, they turned their heads to look at a cart of fish pushed by someone who came to see it.

The people who came were also surprised, they really didn't expect it to be the middle of the night, and there were so many people working together in Erdaohe Village.

Together, it's what makes them wonder a lot.

You must know that their village is all done by each family.

The fourth uncle raised his chin to the boy in front of him and asked him to see how many catties of fish.

Budai stepped forward and twisted his eyebrows and said, "I want to change you Lao Tzu Niang for this basket alone?" You're having fun! ”

"No, it's not easy for us to be a farmer, and the fish has already been sold, you don't know that it is difficult for us to make up this basket."

Without waiting for the other side to finish crying, the fourth uncle said without raising his head: "This is not a place for bargaining. When you enter the village, you set fires, but you don't think it's not easy for everyone to be from the village. He was as ruthless as a bandit. ”

The bag daddy immediately raised his hoe and shouted: "Get out of here!" ”

"Otherwise, we ......"

Only then did the fourth uncle raise his eyes and look at the family: "Go back and tell the seven families, our village will not slander you one boat at a time, but the four baskets of sharp fish are worth one person, and they can't be less, if you agree, you will come to exchange, and if you don't agree, you will pull it down." ”

The fourth uncle felt that the eldest niece of the Xu family was right, and exchanged the eight people for more than 30 baskets of fish, and gave 20 baskets of fish to Guan Erbald as medical expenses.

can't let the medicine be reversed, it just so happens that the second bald family doesn't have any strong labor to earn work, which is different from the eldest niece's family. The eldest niece's family has grain, warehouse, and silver, and each can get ten cents when they come back. That's all good boys, how many people miss Youcang after the fight today.

And there is no work, how can the two bald families save fish and marinate it for the winter, and when the spring is not ready for next year, who knows what the situation will be next year.

As for the remaining dozen or so baskets of fish, they were divided equally among those who were injured for the sake of the public. Just when there is a saying in the village, let you drink more fish soup to nourish your body.

The fourth uncle thought to himself: He obeyed his eldest niece, and it was also the eldest niece of the Xu family who did that, and there were many times when even he couldn't think of being so fair.

After listening to this, the family who came looked at Erdaohe and there were so many people staring at them, and they didn't dare to bargain anymore, so they unloaded the basket of fish and said: "Then let's go back and make up the three baskets again, can you not sleep tonight, wait for us to sleep again, or we will find someone to change." ”

Before leaving, he thought about it and said, "Can you not say that our family came first?" ”

This is still holding the idea that Wang Lizheng can call the shots for them when he returns.

I don't want the people in the village to know that his family was the first to surrender for the change of mother.

This time, Daddy Budai knew what to say: "You guys have to be thick-skinned to negotiate terms with us." ”

There was no need to help hide it, because the family met seven other families one after another on the way back, "Go back, ask for four baskets of sharp fish." ”

"Phew, this is robbery while the fire is hot!"

Then you don't change it, if you don't change it, you will continue to tie the big tree and hungry old man.

This side of Erdaohe Village's bag father also suddenly said: "It seems that it is still cost-effective to capture it alive." I knew that it was good to hold down Wang Lao Ba, and that Wang Ba Ba could at least exchange for three boats of fish. ”

I don't know if he will come, but if he comes again, he will pounce on the king.

That night, although Xu Tianxin did not have to stay up late to pave the gravel road and participate in the hostage exchange operation, he also slept very late.

Because the room of the second and third uncles of the Xu family became a children's nest.

The adults were scattered to work everywhere, basically the whole family went out, the young baby didn't dare to sleep and came to the Xu family, and Sister Tian Xin became the head of the kindergarten.

And a lot of children's urine kang is enough for the head of Tianxin to wash.

It can be seen that the adults fight during the day to frighten the children, including the arsonists and lime throwers, but they are not as brave as they seem.

Xu Tianxin had just finished covering the children with the quilt when he heard a noise from the door, thinking that it was grandma and aunt coming back, but he didn't expect that it was Aunt Meizhuang who carried a few bundles of firewood into the hospital.

"Auntie, my grandmother said it, when my uncles come back, let them carry firewood, and the firewood in the backyard of the house is enough, you don't have to send it."

Meizhuang motioned to Tian Xin to look at the door, she was not the only one to deliver firewood, and there were firewood at the door of the twenty-two houses that were burned nearby.

Xu Tianxin was very glad that he went to bed late, otherwise he would have missed seeing this scene.

She walked from house to house, house after house, as if pacing.

She felt that it was these firewood that would give her a sense of belonging to this village, and she came to the door of Grandpa Guan's house as she walked.

I didn't expect Grandpa Guan to be at home.

Grandpa Guan was looking at the Sun family boys in front of him: "This is?" ”

"Our brothers knew this herb, and when we picked up the bark, we dug it back with our hands, and we didn't know how much it was worth. Master Lang, don't worry, our brothers will go up the mountain again, including everyone has also said that whoever goes up the mountain in the future and sees the herbs you know will take your hands to dig them back, and you can't let the people in the village look at the disease in vain. ”

When the children of the Sun family left, Xu Tianxin saw Grandpa Guan enter the hospital and began to pound the medicine, which was very energetic, she wanted to go in to help, but Grandpa Guan suddenly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and she stopped.

And that night, in the live broadcast room, the family had five taels of silver to reward the village.

I heard that there is a fan group of Grandma Muskmelon, and the leader proposed that a dollar is not much, and everyone will pay a dollar to buy some weapons for the fund-raising point in that village.

Otherwise, you'll have to pick up the wooden arrows that shot them out.

There are also many people who regret that it would be nice if they could really donate old clothes, so that the village flag would not fade.

More than 5,000 people gave a tip.

For this reason, Grandma Muskmelon came back in the middle of the night, and specially opened a live broadcast and solemnly promised: "I will definitely use special funds to help the villagers with these five taels of silver at the right time." ”

Mrs. Xu used a special box to save the five taels.

Three days later......

The nearby villages are all talking about the same topic: "Have you heard, Erdaohe Village has done it for Wangjiagou." The daughter-in-law made a flag, and it was so lively that it was sharp. ”

"Erdaohe, just that miscellaneous village?"

"That's not it, people don't have mixed surnames now, but they can pee, they go to death in a group, I heard that the slogan is to die if they don't die, and even the trade is intercepted by Erdao River, and ten thousand catties of fish are pulled away on three big boats."

It will be tens of thousands of catties between ten miles and eight villages.

More than 100 people in Wangjiagou were injured, saying that their buttocks were burned by Erdaohe and smoked, rolling all over the ground. Wang Laoba knows, right? All his sons were beaten away. ”

"You're not at home, are you?"

"Then the designated is not at home, but there is a person in charge of Erdaohe, guess who?"

Mrs. Xu's ancient sister-in-law happened to hit her, "Guitang's daughter-in-law, it's your brother-in-law." ”

"What?!"

Even the people around him were full of surprise: "If you want to say it's her, then I don't believe it, isn't her brother-in-law Hao Xianghua?" ”

"You see, the concubine of my eldest sister's second daughter is the daughter from Wangjiagou, saying that her eyes were swollen and she begged Xianghua for mercy, and she almost knelt down to let her mother go."

Everyone in Haojia Village, even Mrs. Xu's sister-in-law Gu Sufen felt mysterious.

And what made Gu Sufen extremely angry was to be coaxed and ridiculed: "It's over, you and your younger siblings can't be compared at all, she could have given birth to a child." This time, people have become the talkers of Erdaohe again, look at it, your mother-in-law will come back and look at her higher. ”

At the same time, Wang Laoba finally met his cousin.

Wang Lizheng was already dissatisfied, and returned to the house he bought drunk.

I thought to myself, he has been doing many things for the county lord for ten years, and he still has to kneel in front of the county lord, sit at the bottom of the meal, and pay for his smiling face when he goes to the Qinglou. He was trained as if he were a grandson. scolded him for not having a long head.

A county magistrate speaks rougher than him, and asks him to say that he can do the county magistrate's job with a belly full of groom, and hanging a big cake around a dog's neck.

When he saw that his daughter-in-law had bought so many clothes and materials, he suddenly started an evil fire and said, "How easy is it for me to earn some money a day?" Buy, buy, buy, you are fat and fat, you can see where you go. ”

"Wow, you're going outside to see a lot of wild women, and when you come back, you'll find fault with me, you're a father-in-law, and you're going to the kiln to search for ...... younger than your daughter."

"Shut up!" Got rid of his old wife and went out.

As a result, as soon as the gate was opened, Wang Laoba jumped down from the ox cart.

It's like a dead father, this is the county seat, and he howls without caring if there is anyone nearby:

"Brother, you can still recognize me, you see that I was wrapped up by Lang Zhong and only had my eyes, nose and mouth, my face was beaten by Erdaohe Village, and my body was full of fire bubbles.

You don't know, the people in that village are crazy, and they feel like pie in the sky when they see a fight! ”
