Chapter 9: The Hard-working Obayashi

When Dalin heard this, his heart jumped out of joy. He said excitedly: "Really, you are not allowed to pay your debts then." Huang Banxian nodded heavily. Then he turned to leave, and at the moment of turning, a sneer appeared on his face. It's so terrifying, if Dalin sees it, he will definitely be scared out of the sky.

At this time, Dalin was happily walking back. Until now, he didn't believe that what was in front of him was real. He pinched his thigh hard, and the pain he felt was only then he believed it was real.

After returning to Lu Village, he began to spread to the people in the village that there were no bullfrogs in the river in the south of the village, because when it rained heavily last year, the bullfrogs here were all caught by people, and this year to catch bullfrogs must go to the Dayu River. Dalin has a low status, and he is usually lazy and stealing, so few people listen to what he says.

However, there is an exception to everything. After a long time, a few people believed it, and these people began to spread based on their own experience in previous years. Over time, more people believed. After only a dozen days, most of the people in the village believed it. A lot of people are waiting to see.

In the blink of an eye, it was May, and at this time of the year, it had already rained. But this year is different from previous years, a decent rain did not fall. The people of Lu Village began to get anxious. Some families can't open the pot, so they can only borrow food from others to survive. Everyone hopes that God will rain a lot soon.

On the 10th day of May, the sky began to overcast. Many people run out into the streets, looking up at the sky and looking into the distance, hoping to see signs of rain. The results were still disappointing. However, on the morning of May 15, lightning and thunder thundered outside the window, and wind and rain fell, mixed with hail the size of beans. The rain washed over the doors and windows, and the hail crackled against the windows.

Far from instilling fear in people, the sound made many people excited and excited. Because although this heavy rain is a little heavier and a little more violent, it is exactly what people have been waiting for for a long time. Because after the heavy rain, people can go to the river to catch bullfrogs, this kind of thing can be used, not only to solve the urgent need, but also to sell money, buy farm tools for future farmland production. The rain continued to rain for a day and overnight before stopping. However, the sky did not clear, it was still overcast and drizzle, and the drizzle was intermittent.

The heavy rain did not stop until the afternoon of 16 May, and as soon as the rain stopped, Dalin began to gather people to go to the village south river tomorrow to catch bullfrogs. He found some young people who caught bullfrogs last year, such as Dahu, Shunzi, Erniu, Gouwa and others. The difference between this year and previous years is that not only many young people want to go, but also some older people will also go, and even Widow Wang also asked Xiaocui and some young people to catch bullfrogs, which is absolutely not possible in previous years.

In previous years, it was a big household, but this year, because Dalin is everywhere, it seems that Dalin is leading the team. Xiao Cui also made an exception and came to Dalin and said, "Zhang San, let me tell you, I will go tomorrow too." Remember, you are honest with me, and you are not allowed to play tricks, otherwise when you come back, my mother will beat you. ”

Da Lin glanced at Xiao Cui's beautiful face and hurriedly lowered his head. His heart was pounding, he didn't dare to look at Xiao Cui for too long, because she was really jealous of Widow Wang, and the scene of Widow Wang's fists and kicks on him last time was still vivid. Faced with Xiao Cui's aggressive appearance, Da Lin had no choice but to say, "Go ahead, there are so many people in the village." What can I do to you?"

Xiao Cui said, "How dare you behave? Let me tell you, last time you came to my house to steal something, and you also stole two pieces of silver from our family. Until now, my mom didn't know, if I told me, my mom would definitely beat you up and ask you to return the money, can you believe it?"

Dalin's heart was pounding. He believed Xiao Cui's words too much. The widow was a tigress, but he could only say this in his heart, but he did not dare to say it in his mouth. Needless to say, he can't afford to mess with the widow Wang, even Xiaocui can't be provoked either. But at this time, Dalin could only say with a clear conscience: "Where is something, I just came to your house to get something to eat." I didn't take anything else. ”

Although Dalin said this on his face, he said in his heart, "If you don't catch me, I won't admit it, see what you can do?" Besides, Xiaocui, what are you talking about? Although I have some money now, after a few days, I will have money, and I will even take you as a concubine. Let's see if you still threaten Lao Tzu when you arrive.

Seeing Da Lin bowing his head and being silent, Xiao Cui was speechless for a moment, and at the same time felt bored. He could only leave in a huff, and said a threatening word before leaving, Dalin didn't hear Xiao Cui's last words, but when he saw Xiao Cui's back, he just glared at him viciously, and then turned to leave.

The next morning, Dalin and a group of young people from the village went to the river south of the village to catch bullfrogs. Some of them were wheeling wheelbarrows with sacks on them. There are also many people with sacks on their backs, and people are talking and laughing as they move forward, and many of them have happy smiles on their faces, undoubtedly looking forward to the aftermath of the harvest.

However, this group of passionate and romantic young people did not know that as the destination got closer and closer, danger was also approaching them step by step.
