The big guys are all busy, and Gu Xiaoxiao, who has nothing to do, scratched her scalp, moved her chair and sat under the eaves, holding a fan in her hand to fan the cool breeze.

I'm busy.

Carrying the dustpan into the house, Lin Xiaoxi also moved a small stool to sit next to her, "Mother, I'll also cut some wormwood tomorrow and come back to dry." ”

"You be careful, don't go alone, call the three treasures together."

The fan in her hand slapped Lin Xiaoxi a few times, and then returned to her own face.

"Got it!"

Lin Xiaoxi also went to take out her little fan and squinted her eyes like her mother.

It is not easy for Erbao to carry water, and Gu Xiaoxiao no longer requires the whole family to take a bath every day, every other day.

Today was too hot and I was sweating, Gu Xiaoxiao carried a bucket of cold water and washed it from head to toe.

The cool and refreshing feeling swept through her whole body and mind, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears, which startled her to quickly dry herself, get dressed and walk out remembering the pain.

Stinky mosquitoes that want to bite her?

It's still early!

Gu Xiaoxiao, who is not only hard-mouthed, but also hard-hearted, selectively ignored the several bags that were bitten on her neck and the back of her hands......

……

Early the next morning.

Gu Xiaoxiao got up from the bed, stretched, and smashed her mouth with satisfaction.

After this wormwood is smoked, it is different, and there are many fewer mosquitoes.

After getting out of bed, putting on his shoes, and walking out of the hall, he happened to bump into Aunt Ma walking towards the courtyard.

"Yikes! Is this just beginning? Then I'll come back later, you pack up first, and then we'll go. ”

After Aunt Ma finished speaking with a smile, she didn't wait for Gu Xiaoxiao to speak, she turned around and went back to her house.

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled and she didn't say anything.

I went into the stove room and scooped up a ladle of water, walked to a ditch in the corner of the courtyard, poured the water into the basin, and began to wash my mouth.

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't imagine why Aunt Ma was suddenly so close to her......

Never mind.

Let's see the move.

Wang Xiulian stood beside her, like a little daughter-in-law who was angry, folded her hands in front of her abdomen, "Mother-in-law, can you be busy paying food tax, why don't I go with it?" ”

Since the last time she made a fuss at the well, her mother-in-law has been strictly ordering her not to go out.

However, she was always nesting at home, which made her panic.

She also wants to contribute more to this family.

"It's just to register it, don't worry about it, take care of the baby at home."

The government collects grain tax, first go to the ancestral hall to do a good job of registration, and then Li Zheng takes the government to collect it door to door according to the order on the list.

After Gu Xiaoxiao finished washing, she glanced at Lin Erbao, who was practicing boxing over there.

The little villain is really hardworking.

I got up early in the morning to practice boxing, and I was like this every day, and the thunder couldn't move.

Two steamed buns and half a bowl of corn porridge went down, Gu Xiaoxiao wiped her mouth, stood in the courtyard and shouted at the top of her voice: "Aunt Ma, let's go!" ”

"Huh! I'm out there! ”

Gu Xiaoxiao walked out, Aunt Ma was chatting with Aunt Liu, I don't know what Aunt Ma heard, and her face was shocked.

Seeing her come out, Aunt Ma dragged Aunt Liu over, "Something is wrong!" The widow Yang who lives at the top of the village, you know? I heard that all her family's food and silver were stolen! Li Zheng and the village chief Yacha all went to her house! ”

Before Gu Xiaoxiao could speak, she was dragged away by Aunt Ma.

"Let's go, let's go and see!"

Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to break free, but what she didn't like the most in her life was to join in the fun.

But after thinking about it, the original body loves this kind of excitement the most, and if she can't say it, it will inevitably make people suspicious, so she will be dragged away.

Walking near Widow Yang's house, there was a large group of people outside.

Aunt Ma dragged one from side to side, squeezed in recklessly, and squeezed it to the front.

Gu Xiaoxiao hadn't even stood firm, and the terrible screams rang out at once, mixed with the "snapping" sound of sticks falling on the flesh.

As far as the eye could see, there was a wide bench in the open space in front of her, and Widow Yang climbed on it, and the wrist-thick sticks alternately descended, and blood was already seen in only a dozen buttocks.

There were also three children kneeling next to him, crying profusely.

It's not miserable.

I heard the voices of people around me.

"Isn't it miserable enough to have money and grain stolen, but also to be punished, this is inevitably too miserable."

"This yacha is inevitably too impersonal, and it is not easy for this Yang widow to drag four times......

"What if Widow Yang deliberately hid the grain and pretended to be pitiful in order to evade taxes, if anyone does this, the government will still collect a fart tax."

Four children......

Gu Xiaoxiao glanced over there again, and glanced around again.

There were only three kneeling and crying on the ground.

Where else did it go?

Although she was puzzled in her heart, she was not idle enough to ask more.

didn't want Gu Xiaoxiao to save trouble, but instead laid a bane.

After the thirty boards were played, no one dared to look directly at that side.

Widow Yang, who was crawling on the bench, had her eyelids down, and she didn't know whether she was awake or faint.

The buttocks were bloody, and there was no good piece of meat.

The inside and front on the side were pale, "Don't look at it, go to the ancestral hall to register." ”

As he spoke, the crowd faded like a tide.

Gu Xiaoxiao followed the trend and retreated together.

Caught off guard, one hand grabbed her!

She frowned, and was about to shake it off when she found that it was Mrs. Lin.

"Little prostitute, do you have enough food for your family?"

In Mrs. Lin's worried eyes, Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, "That's enough, I also deliberately walked the scale." ”

"That's good, that's good."

The little old lady patted her chest, finally relieved.

She was also frightened by these thirty boards, for fear that this board would fall on Gu Xiaoxiao.

But his face soon fell again, "The old man was so worried about the second child that he couldn't sleep all night, alas...... What a good thing that is......"

It was about Lin Lao Er, Gu Xiao chose Xiao to shut up.

She didn't want to get into trouble.

Walk to the ancestral hall and line up to register.

Gu Xiaoxiao rushed home.

When I arrived at the door of the house, I put my hand on the top of the courtyard gate, and I heard the sound of fierce fighting inside, as well as Wang Xiulian's screams and cries.

She looked anxious and pushed away violently!

I saw Lin Erbao and a masked man fighting on the ground, and it was difficult to separate.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao coming back, the man saw that the situation was not good, and took out a knife, wanting to hurt people, and solve it quickly!

The knife stabbed straight into the face, Lin Erbao gritted his teeth to avoid it, and then smashed a punch in the thief's face!

Lin Sibao hid by the door of the hall, anxiously wanting to come out to help.

But I am worried that I will be seen by outsiders and catch my mother's mistakes.

Gu Xiaoxiao picked up the long latch under the corner of the wall, aimed at his head and swung it desperately!

The sticks slammed into the man's ears, and there was a burst of tinnitus.

Blood flowed down the cochlea.

The man hugged his left ear and curled up on the ground like a hedgehog.

Wang Xiulian grabbed the hemp rope and ran over.

"Mother-in-law, rope!"
