"Someone, murder!"

A shout made Chen Mo move, and he saw an elderly figure staggering over from outside the courtyard, protecting him in front of Lu San, crying and shouting: "Come on, come on, Brother Mo is going to kill someone." ”

One after another, the neighboring houses also lit up their lights.

After a while, many neighbors came dressed in clothes and walked around the courtyard, pointing at Lu Sanniang and the two in the courtyard.

"Why are Lu San and Aunt Lu in Mo Ge'er's yard?"

"What are Mo Ge'er holding a knife for, it doesn't mean to kill someone..."

...

Listening to the neighbors' discussions, Lu Lao Niang cried even more sadly: "My son, I just came to borrow some food, if I don't borrow it, I won't borrow it, I actually beat my son like this, and I want to kill my son, it's unreasonable..."

And Lu San, who was protected by her, also stretched his neck and shouted: "Brother Mo beat someone, and he still wants to kill me, I will die of pain..."

The appearance of the two mothers made some villagers who didn't know why immediately blame Chen Mo.

"Brother Mo, isn't it just to borrow some food, even if you don't borrow it, you can't beat people, it's really unbelievable."

"Brother Mo'er, how can you be like this, Aunt Lu is already old, what if she injures Lu San and makes her old man still have Hu'er?"

"Brother Mo, if you still have food at home, you can lend some to Aunt Lu, it's not easy for the villagers."

“...”

"That's not the case, my uncle is not such a person." At this time, Han Anniang got dressed and walked out of the house, and explained to everyone anxiously, "Third Brother Lu didn't come to borrow food at all, and we all fell asleep so late. ”

"Nonsense, I'm obviously here to borrow food, but Brother Mo didn't borrow it, and beat me, I'm just outside the hospital, and I can see it clearly." Lu Lao Niang insisted that her son was here to borrow food.

"You... Aunt Lu, you have to speak with your conscience. Han Anniang is obviously a little good at reasoning with others, and her anxious eyes are a little red.

Lu Lao Niang's face was not red and her heart was not beating, and she said: "I just said it with my conscience, but Brother Mo, no matter how I say it, I am also your elder, even when Da Lang is still there, I have to call him Third Brother Lu, you Brother Mo is not without food, I smelled the smell of meat outside your house a few days ago."

The villagers in the township are nothing more than an excuse to eat, and they will pay it back in the coming year, and they don't talk about it at all. ”

"Mother."

Lu Lao Niang and Lu San hugged each other, crying and crying.

Many of the onlookers also borrowed food from Chen Mo, but they were all refused, and when they heard Lu Laoniang's words at this moment, they immediately empathized and accused Chen Mo even more:

"Brother Mo, you are too much, you have been neighbors for so many years, and it is not easy for Lu Laoniang's family, why not."

"You... You guys..."

Han An's motherly face turned red, her eyes were filled with tears, and she pointed at Lu Lao Niang and said: "When did we not intercede, how many times did Third Brother Lu borrow grain before and after, and the slave family lent him twice, but when did he pay it back?" ”

"Hu... Nonsense, when did you lend me grain. As soon as he spoke, Lu San was a little weak-hearted, but seeing so many villagers here, Brother Mo didn't dare to mess around, and immediately denied the fact that Han Anniang lent him food.

"Lu San, do you still have a conscience..."Han An called Lu San's real name in a girlish manner.

"Oh, everyone, look, Han Niangzi was pierced by me, and she was angry, obviously she didn't lend me food, but she wronged me for borrowing it, there is no royal law, everyone has to call the shots for my mother, I can't live..."

"You... How can you wronged people..."Han Anniang was completely angry and cried, wiping her tears and whimpering.

"Sister-in-law, you go in and let me come."

Chen Mo helped Han Anniang into the house, and Lu Lao Niang thought that Chen Mo was going to "escape", so she immediately shouted: "Don't go, beat me like this, I must be compensated." ”

Chen Mo definitely won't leave, this is his home, where is he going.

He said, "Okay, you said you came to borrow grain, then tell me, who came to borrow grain with a kitchen knife?" ”

As he spoke, Chen Mo picked up the kitchen knife on the ground and came to the neighbors, all of them belonged to a village, whose kitchen knife belonged to, and the mothers-in-law in the village were clear.

Sure enough, some mothers-in-law looked at it a little and recognized it as a kitchen knife from the Lu Sanjia family.

Lu San was a little stunned, and glanced at Lu Lao Niang, as if to say what to do next.

This naturally couldn't help Lu Lao Niang, and said with a stalk around her neck: "That's when I was beaten by you last time, and this time I deliberately brought a kitchen knife to defend myself, but I didn't think that I was still poisoned by you." ”

"Then you can explain again, in the middle of the night, I don't borrow food in the morning, I don't borrow food in the evening, why do you have to borrow it when everyone is asleep, and you still come with a kitchen knife." Chen Mo said.

The crowd was silent for a moment, which was really unreasonable according to common sense.

Lu San also learned from Lu Lao Niang and said, "I... I can't sleep when I'm hungry, can't I get up and borrow food? ”

In fact, he promised Wang Xi to go up the mountain to hunt the day before yesterday, but he was already hungry and had no strength, if he followed him up the mountain tomorrow, he was afraid that he would not return, so he discussed with Lu Lao Niang, and after Chen Mo fell asleep, he went to Chen's house to steal some food to fill his stomach.

After borrowing grain several times, he roughly guessed where the Chen family's grain was hidden.

Chen Mo smiled angrily: "The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, in this way, report to the official, and let the adults in the yamen judge." ”

The crowd was quiet again, the so-called people don't fight with the officials, for the people who are promoted to fight, as long as it is not a fatal matter, they don't want to have anything to do with the government.

And Lu Lao Niang saw that the situation was wrong, so she immediately rolled to the ground and cried: "Brother Mo is bullying, I don't live anymore, I don't live anymore..."

When the others saw Lu Lao Niang's pitiful appearance, they couldn't bear it, and they became peacemakers one after another.

"Brother Mo, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, you can compensate Aunt Lu with a little food, and this matter will be forgotten."

"yes, they've been neighbors for so many years."

Seeing that the situation had turned to her side again, Old Lady Lu had tears in her eyes: "Son, are you okay?" ”

"I hurt, I'm about to... I can't breathe..."Lu San coughed violently.

"My son...", the two of them cried bitterly and hugged each other.

"Okay, okay, let's play like this..."

Chen Mo can see that the two of them are prepared.

Lu San came in to steal food, Lu Lao Niang let off wind outside the courtyard, once she was discovered, she shouted at the top of her voice, woke up the neighbors around her, and then pretended to be pitiful to come to an anti-guest, and immediately she was able to cover up her son's coming to steal food.

Even, there is no way to blame her son.

Chen Mo got up from his heart, held a firewood knife, and walked towards Lu San step by step.

"You... What do you want to do? Lu San's face changed greatly when he saw Chen Mo coming with a knife.

"Brother Mo, don't be impulsive." Neighbors shouted.

"Brother Mo is going to kill someone, Brother Mo is going to kill someone..."Lu Lao Niang was not afraid of Chen Mo at all, but shouted even more fiercely, protecting Lu San in front of him.

"Dead open."

Chen Mo kicked Lu Lao Niang far away, raised the firewood knife in his hand, and slashed it hard.

"Uncle, don't..."

Inside the house, when Han Anniang saw this scene, her soul was about to be frightened, and she ran out in a panic.
