Chapter 19: A Hand Is Owed

Yu Youcai rested for a while, and saw the woman in front of her with her back swaying back and forth, and it seemed that she was also going to faint.

He stepped forward, grabbed the person to the side, and took her job and continued to work.

"That's not the way to go." The person who asked Yu Youcai to work more before said, "There are two women in our group. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in this group looked at him in unison.

"The officers and soldiers said, which group does more, which group can eat more, and there are two women in the group, isn't it going to be dragged to death? Whoever goes to the officers and soldiers to talk to them, and change these two people to another group, and replace them with two men. ”

Yu Youcai stepped over in one step, grabbed this person's clothes and was about to beat him.

"Hey, don't make trouble, don't make trouble." The rest of the group hurriedly persuaded, "The officers and soldiers are watching from the side, and they have the strength to fight, so they might as well do more work." ”

"Listen to me first." The person who was picked up held down Yu Youcai's hand, "You see that our group has been replaced by men, and we must work fast, and we will get more food when the time comes, and then you will give your share to your daughter, and your daughter will be dragged down by the side, and everyone will not be able to eat." ”

"Fart!" Yu Youcai pushed him hard, "If you're not satisfied, change to another group." ”

The man patted the clothes on his chest, snorted at Yu Youcai, and asked the others, "Who else wants to change, come with me to find the officers and soldiers." ”

The other four ignored him.

"Okay, you just wait to starve to death." He turned and walked briskly towards the soldiers not far away, hoe in hand.

"Hey, put the hoe down!"

Someone in the group called out to him, but he couldn't hear it.

Seeing that he was about to walk in front of the soldier, the soldier suddenly drew his quick knife and scolded him sharply. "Stop! Put down the hoe! ”

The man was so frightened that he immediately stopped, and threw his hoe on the ground.

"What are you going to do!" The soldier asked.

The man fell to his knees tremblingly and stammered an explanation, "I don't do anything, I don't do anything." Where did he still have the momentum just now, and he didn't dare to mention his own demands at all.

"Go back! Bring the hoe on! ”

He went back in disgrace.

Meng Changqing walked around the people who were working, and he knew what to expect.

Ask the soldiers who are not guarding to cook porridge, "This time put more rice, less water, and do some dry, it's annoying a few big brothers." ”

"Meng Gongzi is polite, let's do it immediately."

At this time, the two guards of the Meng family carried the water back.

Bafang was surprised, "Young master, I really believe you, you really know how to count, we haven't been to this place before, how do you know that there is a river in front of you, and the river is not frozen yet?" ”

Meng Changqing glanced at him several times, "I'll just tell you to put your hat on, look, your brain is frozen." ”

Xi Bei laughed, walked over and put Bafang's head under his armpit, "Give you a warm brain, your young master hasn't been to this place, we have been here." ”

"Master, let me go, I just want to make a sycophant."

Laicai passed by carrying the iron pot, stopped and said to Bafang seriously: "It's really not clever, the young master will think you are really stupid." ”

"Okay, you have a fortune, you also talk about me!" Bafang was caught in the head, and wanted to kick a black donkey, but was carried by Xi Bei to follow Meng Changqing.

"Master, Bafang, come and help me pull the car."

Meng Changqing put the unloaded cart together and made a place that could barely block the wind, so that her mother and mother could go over to rest.

She took out a pen and paper and began to write, she wrote seriously, and her right hand was red from the cold.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the place where the pit was dug, and the shouts of the soldiers could be heard, and the voices of people arguing could be heard.

Meng Changqing dropped his pen and immediately ran over, a few steps away from the noisy scene, and then changed to a quick walk.

"What's wrong?"

Zuo Datou reported, "Someone is fighting, and it has been restrained." ”

"What about the people who fight? Because of what fight? ”

The soldiers in front of him dispersed slightly, and Meng Changqing saw the two civilians who were escorted by the soldiers.

The big left head stepped forward and said loudly: "Go back to the words of the county master!" Why fight! ”

One of the taller men immediately said, "His mouth is not clean." ”

The short man argued, "I didn't fight, he beat me." ”

Meng Changqing asked the short man, "What did you say?" ”

"I didn't say anything." The man's voice grew lower and lower, and it was obvious that there was a ghost in his heart.

Meng Changqing asked the tall man again, "What did he say, you want to beat him?" ”

"He scolded me and my daughter."

"What did you scold?"

The tall man did not answer.

Meng Changqing asked the soldiers to bring all the people in their group.

asked the others why the two were fighting, and learned that the reason was indeed a short one and scolded a tall one, scolding him for ignoring humanity and adopting a daughter as a wife.

not only scolded a tall father and daughter, but also scolded another woman in the same group.

"Who's got the most hands?" Meng Changqing asked the soldiers around him.

Yang Zheng stood up, "I." ”

"I'm tired of Captain Yang, make a move for me."

"Just tell me what you want."

Meng Changqing nodded, pointed to a short man and said, "Give him a mouthful." ”

Yang Zheng strode over, not giving the other party time to react, and slapped him with all his strength, and with a slap, the person was knocked to the ground and rolled several times in a row.

When the other people heard the movement, they were already staring at this side.

His eyes swept over the person lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and then sneaked to see the official master, who was not big but had a big temper.

Just when the other members of the No. 7 pit thought that the matter had been dealt with and called the official master neatly, they heard the official master pointing at Yu Youcai and saying, "Chop off his left hand." ”

Meng Changqing said coldly, "You still want to hide from the fight and trouble under my rule?" ”

"Then I'll do it." Zuo Datou pulled out his knife, and was just about to step in front of Yu Youcai, when he heard a terrible shout, "No! ”

The girl who was kneeling next to her was crawling and running in front of her father.

The girl kept kowtowing to Meng Changqing, "Ask the official master for mercy, my father is the one who beats me, and if he wants to cut off his hand, he will cut off my hand." ”

Meng Changqing: "You don't want your hands anymore?" ”

"No, no, no." Yu Youcai hurriedly pushed his daughter out, "It has nothing to do with my daughter." ”

"Official." A man standing in the distance pleaded for them, "Don't cut off your hands." ”

Meng Changqing recognized that person, it was Sha Zhu.

"Come and talk."

Sha Zhu put down the farm tools, walked quickly to Meng Changqing, knelt down and said, "Now cut off his hand, isn't there one less person to work?" ”

"What you say makes sense, but have you ever thought that I would rather lack people than use people to make trouble." Meng Changqing said, "Unless you vouch for him, he will never fight and make trouble again." ”

Sha Zhu panicked, but still said, "I'll vouch for him." ”

"Okay, then he will fight again in the future, and chop your hands together."

Shazhu's head buzzed.

"Since you've vouched for him, let's swap it with the one who got slapped." Meng Changqing pointed to the tall man, turned sideways and asked the soldier guarding next to him, "What's his name?" What is the number? ”

"Yu Youcai, zero zero nine."

"Write it down, he owes me a hand."
