Chapter 336: Confronting and Collecting Evidence (Addition)
These old people came out of the ranks, and other people immediately stepped forward to accompany them, including Zhou Dahu.
However, before they walked in front of the officers and soldiers, Ah Mei, who was leaning on her mother's arms, suddenly said in a milky voice: "It's raining." ”
Indeed, the villagers who were roasted to the fire felt a little cool on their heads and faces, and there were droplets of water falling.
The rain was still dripping at first, and everyone was still stunned, and it turned into a pouring rain. A few more bolts of lightning lit up the night sky, and everyone realized that the dark clouds in the sky had rolled up at some point, and they had reached the top of the mountain!
The torrential rain is like an injection, as if the sky is leaking, and it makes people's eyes can't open.
It's just that the torrential rain at this time is no longer annoying, but has become the supreme weapon to deal with the forest fires. Under the repeated washing of Pang Pei rain, no matter how fierce the fire was, it had to bow its head.
Only half a cup of tea passed, and most of the fire in Liaogu was extinguished.
When the village elders saw this, they couldn't help laughing, and then saluted respectfully to the Flower Temple: "The Flower God has appeared!"
It was still cloudless in the evening, but it was raining heavily at this moment, if it wasn't for the flower god to appear to ask for help from Hongmo Village, who could send such a timely rain?
Manpower can't do that.
Bursts of cheers broke out among the villagers of Hongmo, and some people simply coaxed: "Officers and soldiers go back, get out of the valley!" With the support of the god of flowers, who are they afraid of?
In the midst of the indignation, the village stretched out his hand and pressed it twice, and the villagers' voices were quieter, only to hear him say: "Don't be afraid, don't worry, folks, wait for us to consult with the official family first." Everyone, wait with ease, let's go and go back. ”
After speaking, he led the elders to walk in the direction of the camp with the leaders of the soldiers.
Behind him, the restlessness of the villagers gradually subsided.
Seeing this, Yan Saburo immediately moved outside. The open space at the east end of the village is not large, and thousands of people are squeezed in at once, and it is difficult for him to get out.
But before he could take two steps, he heard a crisp "pop", like a slap in the face.
The air around me seemed to be suddenly quiet.
Then, Yan Saburo's somewhat familiar voice sounded, and he exclaimed: "Jin Niangzi, why do you want to beat my family Yi'er!"
Chitose next to him chuckled: "Yo, there's a good show to watch, go forward." She patted Yan Saburo lightly on the shoulder, "You're too short! you have to stand taller, I think that dirt slope is good." ”
The two sides of the dispute were indeed very close to him, and Yan Saburo had no choice but to turn back. At Chitose's request, he walked to the top of the dirt slope and stood a little higher than most people, just enough to look far away from him, regardless of his height.
At this time, his arms and fingers were itching badly, he subconsciously scratched twice, and when he looked down again, he was red and swollen again.
"Your problem is getting worse and worse, can't you touch such a big girl?" Chitose sat on the branch next to him, relying on others not to see her, took out a handful of melon seeds from his arms and slowly swallowed it.
Is this going to see the excitement to see the bottom?
Yan Saburo glanced down and understood why Chitose refused to leave:
During this intermission, the contradictions between the officers and soldiers temporarily evolved into internal contradictions among the villagers. Now that the people of Hongmo Village spontaneously gave up a small piece of open space for the two sides of the quarrel, Yan Saburo took a fixed look, and he actually recognized both sides involved!
On one side is Mrs. Wu, who is holding her grandson's little hand, and she is followed by several family members. Zhou Xianyi covered his little face with one hand, and his eyes were red.
Standing in front of this pair of grandchildren is Ah Mei's mother and daughter.
Just in a hurry, Yan Saburo now has time to take a closer look at Ah Mei's mother, this woman was called Jin Niangzi by Mrs. Wu, with a slender figure and a delicate face, and the mother and daughter seem to be carved out of a mold. But she has thin eyebrows and slightly raised cheekbones, which is obviously not a good character.
was questioned by Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Jin's first action was to cross her waist: "Why don't you ask your own grandson what good things he has done, ah?" She pointed at Zhou Xianyi, "This little splash locked my daughter in the burning barn and almost burned her!"
Everyone was taken aback, and Mrs. Wu shook her hand again and again: "Ah, you can't talk nonsense." ”
Zhou Dahu was about to go to negotiate with the village, and when he heard the footsteps, the village elder on the side immediately said: "You go back to deal with the housework first, there are us." ”
Zhou Dahu's face was sneering, so he had to retreat, and glared at his little grandson in a blink of an eye: "What's the matter? What Mrs. Jin said is true?"
Being stared at by so many people, his grandfather's tone was stern, Zhou Xianyi blurted out: "No!" Grandma took him around and didn't find a beautiful cat, he was very angry, and he happened to see the stupid girl of the Sun family......
"Before the hair grows, you learn to lie, right?" Jin Niangzi sneered and pulled her daughter who was shrunk behind her to the front, "Ah Mei, say what you just said to me in front of all your uncles and aunts!"
Suddenly stared at by countless pairs of eyes, Ah Mei had never felt such pressure, and she hid behind her mother, not daring to say anything.
"What are you afraid of, my mother will give you justice!" Jin Niangzi glanced at Zhou Dahu, "The old man of the Zhou family will also give us justice!"
At this time, seven or eight more people walked up to Ah Mei's mother and daughter, it seemed that they were a family, and one of the sturdy men even reached out and put his hand on Jin Niangzi's shoulder, obviously her husband came to support his wife.
In such villages and towns, whoever has Ding Wang and who has money obviously has the confidence to speak.
Sure enough, seeing that the family members rushed over, the little girl Ah Mei felt safe, so she said softly: "In the evening, I went out with my mother and wanted to go to the Huashen Pool, and I heard an explosion halfway, and many people ran around, breaking me up with my mother." I wanted to go home and wait for my mother, but when I met Zhou Xianyi, my mother was waiting for me in the warehouse of Hualin, and asked me to come over quickly, so I came. She flattened her mouth, remembering the grievances she had received, and couldn't help but shed two more tears, "There is no one in the barn, I want to go out, he closes the door, laughing so loudly." I begged him to open the door, but he wouldn't. ”
The crowd was full of whispers.
Yan Saburo listened to a few peasant women on the side whispering: "The boy of the Zhou family is playing tricks again, and this time he almost killed someone." ”
"So what? The last time he dug a pit in the soil, the pit was well covered, the big bolt walked over and stepped on the air, fell off the field stalk and broke her leg, and the old lady Wu was not willing to fight, and lost a few ingots of silver for the big bolt. Later, I heard that this little ghost was still angry, and took a stone to smash the window of the big bolt's house. ”
Chitose raised an eyebrow as she listened.
Zhou Dahu couldn't help but shake his head: "Ah Mei was frightened, it was really pitiful." But the child is unscrupulous, and the wind blows. What she said, can Mrs. Jin come up with evidence?
"Of course you can!" After Jin Niangzi finished speaking, she raised her head, her eyes patrolled the audience, and swept over everyone's faces one by one.
Not good. Yan Saburo hurriedly bowed his head and retreated.
