Chapter 247: Do you want me to help you?

Grandma Li hasn't understood yet, but Grandpa Li Le has seen a lot after all, he shuddered, and immediately understood - if you really want to sue these three children to the county government, then many things can't be covered.

The dowry brought by Li Sanhai's daughter-in-law was over the Ming Road, and the dowry list stamped with the official seal of the government has not been found by the second child. No, even if you find it, it's useless, it's stamped with the official seal, and the government has a deposit there after all. Even if you find the dowry list and quietly burn it, the dowry list kept by the government will be turned out.

Is Da Niu, a son of evil, being abused? There is no evidence for this kind of empty talk. Of course, buying off the government can also reverse black and white.

How much Li Sanhai had in his original savings, this kind of thing can be done to buy the government government upside down, and they have the final say. Now his third uncle is helping Xiao Da Niu to take care of the housekeeper, all for the good of their sisters, saving them from spending money loosely, and the government admits this. Even if the money is not spent by the children, and the account keeper is spent, the government will acquiesce to this.

In order to prevent you from spending money indiscriminately, I spent your money for your own good—it has been like this since ancient times.

However, only embezzling the dowry of the third daughter-in-law is a crime that cannot be avoided.

Of course, the dowry of the third daughter-in-law is not only spent by the second daughter-in-law, but also by the third brother, such as the fourth child going to school, and the fourth child usually socializing, all of which are spent on the dowry of the third daughter-in-law. But since the family has also been dotted around, the interests of the clan are also evenly touched, so this can maintain acquiescence.

However, for the fourth. If the lawsuit is a loss, even if there is no clear evidence, it is also a moral stain for the fourth child. Only when a brother is not sorry can there be such a lawsuit, and if he is not kind to his brother's orphans, there is such a lawsuit.

The fourth child is not a talent now, and when he takes the talent exam, he needs his neighbors and the school to jointly issue a recommendation. Although the fourth child is indeed excellent in learning, people with excellent learning will inevitably be jealous. The township neighbors are good to say, the school is ...... Even in the end, Xiao Daniu's little rabbit cub can't win this lawsuit, and someone will always attack the fourth child with "no guilt".

Once it is pinched, let alone the fourth child, let alone the examination of Xiucai, he may not even be able to get the admission ticket - the letter of recommendation.

The little rabbit cub's life is nothing, but even if this little rabbit cub is judged to be disobedient, there is a disobedient son among the six relatives, and the fourth child will not be able to last long in his official career.

Therefore, I can't go to denounce it, and I can't go to it.

For a moment, Grandpa Li Le thought a lot. He turned his gaze to the village chief and exchanged glances with him. The village chief understood what he meant, and he shook his head lightly - there was nothing he could do.

When everyone came today, they originally thought that Xiao Da Niu was a fool, and even if he said something to his face, Xiao Da Niu, a fool, would not be able to understand it. Now it seems that Xiao Da Niu is stupid, he only became a Ding yesterday, and he beat his uncle and aunt out today, which is obviously scheming and vicious.

The words that Xiao Daniu asked rhetorically just now had already been heard by the onlookers outside the courtyard, and some good deeds even repeated what he had just said, which confirmed that the village chief and Li Erbo's family conspired to embezzle Li Sanhai's property.

Uncle Li Si has enemies, and he, the village head, is not without enemies. So it's okay if you don't go through the official, and wait until the official...... Well, in fact, for the people in the countryside, most people do not necessarily have the experience of suing the official once in their lives.

It takes money to file a complaint, money to write a complaint, money to go up and down, and even ...... Time. You must have time to run to the government again and again, and during this time of litigation, there is no time to farm and make money. And the cost of time is especially unaffordable for ordinary people.

So this time, the village chief wanted to use his personal prestige and clan power to let Xiao Da Niu endure this breath and swallow this bitter fruit, he prepared a lot of words to teach Xiao Da Niu a good lesson, and he has used this set of "truths" to maintain his status over the years, and he has been handy. It's really not good, he also brought a few of his own children, and he can compete with Xiao Da Niu.

But he never expected that Xiao Daniu would flip the table.

This kid didn't "reason" with the patriarch, he directly flipped the table.

In addition to this, Xiao Da Niu also has a pair of hard fists, and he proved that his fists are very hard. At least a few people brought by the village chief couldn't control Xiao Daniu at all.

In the countryside, where is the truth - basically, the truth is in the household register. Whoever is older in the household registration book is reasonable, and whoever has a higher social rank is reasonable. And this "truth" has been recognized by everyone since ancient times. So when this group of people came here, they didn't intend to be reasonable at all, they only planned to talk about the household registration book.

What's next?

However, the essence of the so-called truth in the countryside is to talk about fists - whoever is older in the household registration book is reasonable, and who has a high social rank is reasonable, and this truth has been maintained by power for thousands of years. No matter what the "truth", its essence is: who has a harder fist, who is more reasonable.

That bastard's fists are particularly hard now.

Fight a lawsuit with Xiao Da Niuyu?

Breaking the county order, although he, the village head, can make a sycophant, but the little money he usually dedicates, how can the county order steal the house, put all his family wealth into the county order's pocket, and let the county order gain more?

Even if the lawsuit is won, Xiao Daniu is finally sentenced to disobedience, and he, the village head, will have to give most of his family wealth, or even all of it, in order to win this unethical lawsuit.

It's more likely that he will lose if he doesn't get it right.

Xiao Daniu's property, how can he have more property?

For the county officials, it is self-evident that the richest man in the village will earn more by "stealing" him, or by the poor ghost Xiao Daniu who will "disobey".

What's more, if there is a case of disobedience under his rule, if the county officials are not able to do so, they will be subject to an evaluation of "ineffective education".

Who dares to sue these days?

As long as this matter can be suppressed temporarily, as long as he is still the village head, he has a thousand ways to toss Xiao Da Niu...... So today's breath, he has to endure it.

When Li Le got this hint, he let out a long sigh, turned around, and made a final effort with kind eyebrows: "Child, look at your seven-foot-tall man, you can't do that unfilial thing, you must know that filial piety is greater than the sky......"

Xiao Daniu shook his fist stupidly: "Filial piety, my father." ”

People who don't look at the scenery outside the courtyard gate are not too cool, and continue to fan the flames: "That's it, Uncle Li, filial piety to you is what your son should do, and it is not your grandson to be filial to you." Your grandson is only an adult, you let an underage grandson be filial, and the son of three people is ready to eat his grandson?"

"Yes, yes, your grandson only needs to be filial to Li Sanhu, and you can't say anything about filial piety when you tell him here?"

"Xiao Da Niu is now a single family, he is the only adult man in the family, and it is his duty to remember you for the New Year's holiday, and he is already a ...... Ahem, it's an independent portal!"

Grandpa Li Lechang sighed: "That's it, since that's the case, I won't pursue your crime of beating your elders and beating your second uncle and aunt, from now on we will be two families, and we will not come to each other, what do you think?"

Xiao Daniu raised his face and asked calmly, "My mother's dowry?"

Grandpa was choked for a moment, and then he sighed and said with a sad face: "Eldest grandson, you also know the situation of grandpa here, your uncle spends a lot of money every year to study, your uncle has no ability, it is not easy to support this family, the year before last, your eldest sister married and lacked a dowry, isn't there no way, so I call the shots and take out a copy of your mother's dowry and give it to her......"

Xiao Daniu interrupted his grandfather Li Le's words: "My sister is not married. ”

Grandpa Li Le was angry, and shouted with red eyes and throat: "Okay, that's not your sister, it's your lobby sister, okay? Your lobby sister got married and used some of your mother's dowry, what's wrong, I'm your grandfather, can't I be the master?"

Xiao Daniu looked at his grandfather Li Le calmly and asked, "You rebelled?"

This question made Grandpa Li Le break out in a cold sweat, and he shouted loudly: "Rabbit cub, what are you talking about?

Xiao Daniu's gaze turned to the village chief, he stared at the village chief in a daze, and asked: "The law, the lord has the final say, in this world, the lord also has the final say, and the lord wants to change the dynasty and rebuild the law?"

This passage is a rare long sentence for Xiao Daniu to say, and he spit out word by word, every word is like thunder, making the people inside and outside the courtyard break out in a cold sweat.

Uncle Li Si reacted first, he pulled his throat and shouted sharply: "Wrong, wrong, you heard wrong, Da Niu, you heard it wrong, your grandfather used your mother's dowry, it was your mother who agreed, and those dowries were given to your grandfather by your mother herself, yes, that's it." ”

Xiao Daniu nodded thoughtfully: "I, go to the county office." ”

Li Siwei followed up with the previous sentence: "The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, what are you doing in the county office?"

Xiao Daniu pointed at Uncle Li and replied: "Rebellion, the first accusation is not guilty." ”

Grandpa Li Le's legs trembled, and the village chief's face was also pale, and he was about to say something, Xiao Daniu's eyes fell on him, and he asked softly: "You, accomplice?"

The village chief suddenly shut up.

Grandma jumped in front of her and shouted sharply: "Pay you back, you son of a son who doesn't recognize your six relatives, we will smash the pot and sell iron, and we will also pay back your mother's dowry, you white-eyed wolf, is this okay?"

Grandma burst into tears, which made Xiao Daniu very dazed, he turned to the onlookers outside the courtyard in a daze, and asked stupidly, "Who is wronged?"

Outside the hospital, the audience who originally saw Grandma Li crying loudly and felt soft-hearted suddenly became eye-catching, and said nonsense: "Yes, who occupied other people's fertile land, occupied other people's houses, occupied other people's mother's dowry, and abused other people's children, and now they have to pretend to be wronged here, who is wronged?"

Xiao Daniu turned his eyes to his grandfather and asked, "How did my father and mother die, how am I stupid?"

As soon as he said this, his grandfather Li Le's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly turned around and walked out of the courtyard, saying as he walked: "Old woman, you are not sensible, how can your daughter-in-law's dowry be moved casually?"

Xiao Daniu's eyes fell on Li Erbo, who hurriedly jumped up and shouted, "Dad, wait for me." ”

Li Erbo chased out, Uncle Li and Aunt Li outside the door did not enter the yard at all, at this moment, they also stood up in a panic and followed their grandfather Li Le, leaving only Uncle Li Siwei and grandma still in the courtyard.

Xiao Daniu was stupid, and shouted at his grandfather's back: "Master, cigarette pouch, my mother's." ”

Grandpa Li Le stumbled for a moment, but immediately he pretended not to hear, squeezed through the crowd alone, and walked quickly.

The village chief shook his sleeves with difficulty, and said to Xiao Da Niu: "Da Niu, you still recognize me as the village chief, I am in charge, I will not hold you accountable for the crime of injuring my four children, let's ...... Two cleared.

As for the matter of your second uncle and second aunt, whether you have beaten your second uncle and second aunt or not, I don't care about this matter, but your second uncle and second aunt's belongings ......"

Xiao Daniu grinned and smiled innocently: "Take it with you, ha, what do they have when they enter my house?"

Who doesn't know that Li Erhe and his wife are lazy and lazy, and they lived in Li Sanhu's house almost naked.

To say that Li Erhe and his wife are really lazy, they are too lazy to move back to their original home when they loot the belongings they loot. Now this is good, and he deserves to be kicked out naked, and the property he has scavenged over the years is equivalent to cheapening Xiao Daniu.

Well, this matter can't be delved into, so be it.

The village chief turned around angrily and left-this fool is unreasonable.

Grandma Li in the courtyard wanted to speak and stopped. Li Si gritted his teeth, held back for a while, reluctantly put on a smile, and persuaded softly: "Big Niu, oh, Yuankui, Li Yuankui, you are the grandson of the Li family, you should understand the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost."

Your uncle is about to go on a scientific expedition now, and reputation is the most important thing at this time. Your mother's dowry, we can't afford to pay it back for a while, and it's not good for everyone to make trouble about this matter, so it's better for you to let us delay for a while......."

Xiao Daniu interrupted Li Siwei's words: "Everyone, do you have me?"

"Of course, although your father and mother have passed away, your family is the Li family's third-room ...... after all."

Xiao Daniu continued to interrupt Li Siwei's words: "Hello, I'm not good; ”

Li Si's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he immediately held back his anger again, and said slowly: "Okay, well, since you insist, we will return your mother's dowry, you wait, it's just that the dowry is sorted out, it will take time to ......"

"Three days!" Xiao Daniu stretched out three fingers with a resolute expression.

Li Siwei stomped his feet: "Three days is three days." ”

As soon as he stomped his feet, Li Siwei helped Grandma Li to walk out.

When the two people walked out of the door, the onlookers still refused to disperse. But those onlookers were frightened by the word "rebellion", and they didn't dare to get involved in such a thing, so they hid far away...... Of course, there is the word rebellion, and if they really want to start a lawsuit, when the government asks, they will not dare to hide it in the slightest, let alone commit perjury.

It was quiet outside the courtyard, and Grandma Li muttered quietly as she walked: "Siwei, why did you promise him, where can we pay back the dowry of the goblin of the third family." Now don't say three days, even if there are three more years......

Oh, in the past three years, you can even show talent and lift people, maybe you can make a foreign fortune, which is a little hope of repaying the money, but even the show talent and lifting people, it is not easy. ”

Li Siwei interrupted Grandma Li's words and whispered viciously, "Three days?

Xiao Daniu was still standing in the courtyard, and although the conversation between Grandma Li and Uncle Li Siwei was low, he heard it vividly. However, Xiao Daniu didn't think so, he waved his hand at Sister Li's Zhenni and shouted, "Close the door." ”

Finally the peace came down, and now there was no one inside or outside the courtyard, Zhenni felt a burst of relief, she closed the courtyard door, turned around, and looked at the courtyard with the mind of the master for the first time.

But when I looked at it, I suddenly felt that the courtyard was not in line with my eyes, well, the firewood pile was too messy, the chicken coop was not in the right place, and the kitchen was even more messy......

Jinni didn't go back to the house, turned around and found a broom, and began to clean the courtyard.

This kind of work used to be done by Jinni, but today she feels that the work she is doing is particularly meaningful—she is now cleaning her own house, cleaning herself.

Sweep the courtyard diligently, tidy up the firewood, and clean up the kitchen...... At this time, it felt like the sun was about to set, and the sky was a little dim and dark.

Jinni slapped her clothes and walked back into the hall. Xiao Da Niu was also doing the same job in the hall, he put aside the things used by the second uncle and the second aunt, and turned all the things that the second uncle and two aunts put in the cabinet, and then Xiao Da Niu slowly opened the heavy cabinet with all his strength.

Zhenni said softly, she still remembered that this cabinet was her mother's dowry, and her grandmother was originally in charge and was going to give this cabinet to a cousin who was married in the Li family's big house. But because this cabinet is too heavy, and the door panel is straight up and down, there is no carving, which makes this cabinet look like Xiao Da Niu's appearance, only stupid and honest.

So, the cousin who got married didn't like it very much, and the cabinet was preserved.

It is said that this cabinet is made of iron oak, which is a harder wood than red sandalwood, but it has no fragrance, because this wood is as hard as iron and is difficult to be processed or carved, so iron oak has never been the first choice of carpenters, and its price is therefore not as good as red sandalwood.

This cabinet made of iron oak is very heavy, even comparable to the same volume of lead. The four strong men were not able to carry this cabinet away, and they didn't even let the cabinet move a bit, but now Xiao Daniu is just fighting with both hands, although he didn't hold the cabinet up, but he still let the cabinet move away from the place.

When did Da Niu have so much strength?

This question only swirled around in Jinni's mind, but the high-pressure environment and the fear brought by the high pressure made Jinni dare not think about it. Now she just spun the question around in her head and threw it to the back of her mind.

After pushing open the iron oak cabinet, Xiao Daniu squatted on the bluestone slab under the cabinet and began to knock and beat. And Zhenni couldn't stay idle, turned her head and began to clean up the messy beds in the house, dismantling the sheets and quilts used by her uncle and aunt, and thinking that she would get up early tomorrow morning and wash them all out.

As she was groaning, she heard a clatter. When he looked up, he saw that Xiao Daniu had already lifted a bluestone slab on the ground, revealing a black hole under the slate.

"Ahh

When did such a cave appear in the house? No, when his parents died, Xiao Da Niu was already stupid. No, no, the reason for the death of the parents is not so much because of the dystocia of the little sister, but because the younger brother Da Niu had a high fever after drowning, burned out his brain, and became stupid, and his mother was born prematurely due to panic. After his father buried his mother, he died of illness due to overwork.

Stupid bull, you shouldn't remember what your parents look like.

Well, I remember that when my father died, I finally explained a few words to Zhenni, but halfway through the words, my father said in despair: "...... Forget it, no matter what it is, you can't keep it at all. That's it, I hope they can let you grow up safely for the sake of flesh and blood.

As long as you grow up safely, I can close my eyes under the Nine Springs, remember, I must take care of your brother. ”

When her father died, Jinni was not very old. What her father said, Zhenni always remembered. Da Niu usually doesn't talk much, and he doesn't say anything important.

At the beginning, my father didn't mention the hidden cave under the hall house, and he didn't explain any treasures left behind, so how could my brother know that there was a cellar here?

At this time, Zhenni saw that Xiao Daniu had jumped into the hole in the ground. She was stunned for a while, stayed where she was, bowed her head and continued to disassemble the bedding used by the second uncle and aunt.

After a while, Xiao Da Niu came out of the hole, Zhen Ni raised her eyes, and wanted to ask what was in the cave, but before she could speak, Xiao Da Niu stuffed a thing into Zhen Ni's hand, and urged in a low and fast voice: "Hold my sister, hide." ”

Before Zhenni could react, Xiao Daniu waved his hand continuously, urging Zhenni. Zhenni subconsciously rushed out of the hall, went to the side room to pick up her sister, and reflexively returned to the hall. At this time, Xiao Daniu couldn't wait, gently picked up the eldest sister, stuffed it into the hole on the ground, and then quickly closed the stone slab at the hole.

Xiao Daniu turned around and dragged the wooden cabinet again, the action seemed lighter, and the entire wooden cabinet seemed to be picked up by him, sliding on the ground silently, and there was no trace of dragging on the ground.

When the wooden cabinet was restored to its original position, Xiao Daniu sensed it and found that the three black shadows he had just captured were still standing not far from his yard, one of them was still pointing at his house, and the other two were squinting and constantly looking at the courtyard wall of his house.

Soon, the person who spoke outside the courtyard arched his hand, and then stood aside, and the other two black shadows did not act immediately, and continued to observe Xiao Daniu's house on the spot.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and in Xiao Daniu's induction, all households were still quietly talking about what happened tonight, but because Xiao Daniu said a taboo word - rebellion, everyone was talking very quietly, and many people could lower their voices.

In the midst of the disturbance, Xiao Daniu heard some parents issue warnings to let their children temporarily hide from Xiao Daniu's house for the past few days. Among them, next door to Xiao Daniu's house, the elders of the family reprimanded a little girl named Song Yingying very harshly, and asked her not to contact the eldest sister Zhenni for the past few days.

The three black shadows moved, the black shadow who had not stopped talking, slightly arched his hand, and then said goodbye, leaving two black shadows in place, and continued to stand silently in the dark, after a while, among the two black shadows, someone moved slightly, and a gray mist rose in place, and this gray mist quickly covered the figures of these two people.

Immediately after that, the whole village became quieter and quieter.

Xiao Da Niu smiled softly in the night, he shook his head, and pursed his lips disdainfully - I thought they were going to be reasonable, it seems that they have to talk about fists after all.

Earlier, everyone is directly compared to fists, who is afraid of whom?

Jinni, who was standing in the cellar, didn't know how long her body stiffened, and at this time, Shanni in her arms snorted, and Jinni quickly shook Shanni and patted Shanni with her hand. With this stretch of hand, she found what Xiao Daniu had just stuffed into her hand.

She had been clutching it so tightly that she had forgotten to put it down.

It's a stick-like thing, it's not long, about two fists long, and it's very smooth, and it's made of wood.

Because one hand needed to slap Shanni, I don't know where I touched it during the slapping just now, and the stick in my hand suddenly lit up and turned into a glow stick.

The light emitted, soft and not dazzling, illuminates the entire cellar.

Jenny found herself standing on a staircase that began at the mouth of the cellar and spiraled down into the depths.

The cellar was not large, with steps extending downwards taking up almost a third of the cellar's area, spiraling downward, each large enough for a grown man to use as a single bed.

In the deepest part of the cellar, there were three wooden boxes stacked in a zigzag shape, and the top wooden box had been opened, and the contents were very messy. But Jinni stood on the steps, unable to see what they were.

Zhenni thought for a while, looked down at the glow stick in her hand, and couldn't help but think that the treasure in her hand might be the one that Da Niu had just turned out of the open box.

Jinni listened intently to the movement above, and there was silence around her. Jinni gently placed her feet on the next step, and then tried to control the sound of her footsteps, and slowly walked to the bottom of the cellar.

There weren't many things stored in the open box, and judging by the situation, the box turned out to be half-full. And the contents of the box are not gold and silver treasures, they are all kinds of small utensils, such as lamb whips, lambs, ponies and other wood carvings, and occasionally a few metal parts, but these metal pieces are not precious gold and silver materials, that is, some ordinary ironware, lead and tin ware.

The eldest sister Jinni looked at Shanni who was sleeping soundly in her arms, thought about it, and quickly vacated the open box. Fortunately, the box was full of small items, and she took them out and piled them on the ground, and then she put the little girl in her arms into the box.

Finally free-handed. She looked around, ready to find a quilt to cover her little sister, but found that the cellar was empty except for these three boxes.

Jinni gently pushed the top box where her sister was kept, feeling that although the box was heavy, she was still able to move. So, Jinni immediately picked up the box and carried it to the corner of the cellar.

Looking at the little girl who was still sleeping in the box, Zhenni looked at the glow stick in her hand again, she put the glow stick on the lid of the box, and turned to walk towards the pile of debris on the ground.

But as soon as she was only two or three meters away from the glow stick, Jenny immediately noticed that the temperature around her had dropped a lot. The cellar had become a little cold and damp, and there was a slight stream of putrid air.

Zhenni was reluctant, she turned her head and walked towards the little sister in the box, unbuttoning her coat as she went, preparing to untie it and cover it for the little sister.

When she walked over to the box, Jinni groaned strangely. She stood there and thought for a moment, tentatively taking a few steps back.

Sure enough, when she retreated to a distance of two or three meters from the glow stick, she immediately felt a cold air envelop her whole body like a tide.

Take a few more steps forward, no, just take one more step forward, and immediately feel a soft warm breath envelop her. And take a step back, and the cold came as scheduled.

I see.

Although Jinni is sluggish, she also understands at this moment: the glow stick just now is a treasure that can isolate the cold in the cellar.

She didn't take off her clothes, but stuck the glow stick next to her sister first, and walked over to the pile of clutter that was still on the ground, ready to tidy up the pile, which had been taken out of the box. If the remaining two boxes are also half full, Jinni plans to merge the boxes and sort out a box for the little sister to sleep in.

There are no mechanisms on the lid of the box...... Maybe there is a mechanism that also makes Xiao Da Niu destroy. So as soon as the lid of the box was lifted, it opened, and sure enough, the boxes were half full. The first open box even contained only a third of the stuff.

There are more than 20 copper coins neatly placed in this box.

After all these years, the string on which the copper coin is tied is still intact - a whole copper coin weighs about two or three catties. Zhenni lifted the money rope and picked it up, but the heavy copper coin did not break the rope.

Quietly counting the number of copper coins, Zhenni found that the exact number was eighteen copper coins. In addition to these eighteen copper coins, there are also two gold cakes and six silver cakes in the chest. The bread was a standard weight, about ten taels each.

Sixty taels of silver, eighteen taels of copper, and twenty taels of gold, which are equivalent to more than two hundred taels of silver.

The wealth in this chest was less than three hundred taels of silver.

For a farmer's family, two or three taels of silver can live for a year. Therefore, this wealth is about enough for the farmer to eat and drink for a lifetime - countless people in the village may not be able to save this money for a lifetime.

Zhenni has never seen a rich family spend a lot of money, she doesn't know that three hundred taels of silver, sometimes it is not enough for the price of a dress for everyone's young lady, but this wealth makes Zhenni, who has never seen more than five copper plates, grin happily and laugh silently.

The last box contained a little more stuff, about twelve pieces of cloth and two sets of jewelry. But those two sets of jewelry are not very brilliant silver jewelry, although the workmanship is exquisite, but for everyone's young lady, this kind of silver jewelry is just a reward for the maid.

Jinni isn't very smart...... Of course, children who are intimidated and grow up don't dare to think much, so she doesn't dare to be smart. Seeing these jewelry, she felt very sweet in her heart, picked up a piece of cloth, and tears unconsciously flowed from her eyes.

These twelve pieces of cloth and two sets of jewelry, obviously, should be the dowry prepared by her father and mother for her and her sister. Such a dowry is already a very generous dowry for a farmer's family.

Zhenni didn't expect that in the three boxes, there was a faint hint of these poor wealth: for the farmer, this is a huge amount of wealth, but the existence of these things is also to tell the children that they should not think about being rich in this life, be a little rich family, and spend this life quietly, and their parents will be very satisfied.

Jinni happily touched the cloth in her arms again.

After so many years, this cloth still looks very soft, and there is no trace of decay at all. The quality of the cloth is not tall and luxurious, but if you rely on this dowry, even if you marry into the landlord's family, it is enough.

Suddenly, remembering something, Zhenni slapped her head, hurriedly shook off a piece of cloth, folded it in her hand a few times, and turned it into a small square quilt. She went back to the boxes, put the small square quilt over her sister, then grabbed the glow sticks, returned to the corner, and began to organize the boxes.

At this time, the last dog barking in the village has been a long time. Not far from the courtyard, two black shadows shrouded in pale gray mist reappeared in the moonlight, and Xiao Daniu had already packed up the hall and turned to the wing room at this moment.

When Li Sanhu built this courtyard, he used some of the most commonly used house structures of official eunuchs. For example, the hall of this courtyard is very large, and the living room is in the middle, with the bedroom on the right and the study on the left. On both sides of the hall, there are east and west wings.

Originally, the east wing was inhabited by the second uncle's son Xiao Fat Dun, and the east wing had three rooms, all of which were dominated by Xiao Fat Dun alone, while the west wing was inhabited by three cousins and cousins. Xiao Daniu's family is not qualified to live in the main courtyard. There is only one bedroom in the west wing, and the other two houses side by side are the embroidery room and the pantry. The stove house, firewood room, etc. are in the inverted house.

In the corner of the west wing, a straw shed was also built, in which the family's only large livestock, the bull fed by Xiao Da Niu, was tied. The east wing originally had a chicken coop in the corner corresponding to the cowshed, but the little fat dun smelled bad, and now there are no chickens in the chicken coop.

If it was exactly according to the courtyard layout of the eunuch's house, this courtyard should have a backyard and atrium, but the final result of the construction was that the backyard and atrium were partially deleted. The place that was supposed to be the backyard and the middle pavilion became a vegetable patch. At the back of the vegetable field, in the corner of the courtyard, two simple earthen houses were built—here, it turned out to be where Zhenni, Shanni, and Xiao Daniu lived.

Now that the second uncle and second aunt's family have been kicked out, Xiao Daniu, as the head of this family, should move back to the hall to live. And the hall has been cleaned, and the things that originally belonged to the second uncle and the second aunt disappeared silently as soon as he touched it with his hand.

As for the bedding treasured by the second uncle and the second aunt, those items that originally belonged to Xiao Daniu's mother's dowry, were now taken out again and placed in the bedroom of the hall.

Oh, in fact, Xiao Daniu's so-called tidying up the room is to throw all the extra things into the space, and now there are only a few bedding on the surface, and the cabinet has become empty......

He used the same method to clean up the east wing, and in the end, only a few walls remained in the east wing, and this time even the furniture was gone. The rest of the west wing where those cousins and cousins lived, Xiao Daniu decided to let Zhenni deal with it herself.

He turned his gaze to the kitchen in the courtyard, and as he walked by, he picked up a few extra farm tools, which disappeared from his hands.

There are so many things in the house, Xiao Da Niu wants them to disappear, they disappear, and they reappear when they want to appear, and Xiao Da Niu takes all these changes for granted. He didn't even think much about why he had this ability, he didn't even know that he had a personal space, he only vaguely remembered: when he stored things in the space, or took them out, he had to avoid outsiders.

Because of this subconscious reminder, Xiao Daniu felt that when the two figures in the dark fog approached his family yard, he didn't change the straw fork he picked up casually. Even in order to cover up, he gestured at the firewood pile with a straw fork, pretending to be ready to tidy up the firewood and straw pile...... It's a pity that the pyre was neatly arranged by Jinni, and his fork didn't fall after all.

Because he was pondering, when the two black shadows broke into the courtyard, Xiao Daniu's form looked extremely stupid. And the two black shadows who broke into the courtyard, seeing Xiao Da Niu holding a pitchfork and constantly gesturing at the pyre, one of the black shadows coughed, and Xiao Da Niu didn't hear it.

Seeing that Xiao Da Niu was so stupid that he didn't look back after listening to the voice, another black shadow snorted softly, and then asked, "Xiao Da Niu, where is your sister?"

Xiao Da Niu turned around slowly, and this action made him even more stupid.

With the help of the moonlight, Xiao Daniu saw the two people in front of him clearly.

The two men were similar in size, and they were about the same height, short, fat and thin. One of them was older, about thirty years old, while the other was in his early twenties. They were all dressed in Taoist robes, with Taoist crowns of indescribable material on their heads, the older Taoist priest held a sword of Buddha dust in his hand, and the younger Taoist priest held a ceremonial sword in his hand.

Xiao Daniu didn't answer the words of these two people, he opened his mouth slightly, looked at the two Taoist priests carefully, and thought in his heart: "Where did these two Taoist priests come from? How can they be dressed exactly like the people in the TV series...... Hey, why am I talking about TV dramas, and what are TV dramas?"

Xiao Daniu's stupid appearance made the young Taoist impatient. He silently drew his sword, Yi Ning rushed into the hall, quickly turned around in the hall, and then rushed into the east wing, looked around the empty room, he turned around and threw himself into the west wing.

After only a while, the young Taoist priest reappeared in the courtyard with a sword, he twisted his eyebrows, and asked impatiently: "Hey, fool, where is your eldest sister, where are your sisters?"

Xiao Daniu spoke, his tone was slow and his voice was dull: "You two, who are you, why don't you knock on the door?"

The elder Taoist priest snorted coldly: "Fool, what are you doing with so many words, hand over your sister and little sister." ”

Xiao Daniu subconsciously asked, "Hand it over, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Xiao Daniu hated his sluggish tongue incomparably. Didn't he know what these people wanted to do when they broke into his house in the middle of the night? Didn't he already notice these two people and point fingers at his house outside?

Countless words surged in Xiao Daniu's heart, but all he could say was this stupid and stupid sentence.

The young Taoist priest laughed cruelly: "What to do when you hand it over, guess what to do when you hand it over, I heard that your eldest sister is as old as a flower, hehehe, you said to hand her over, what can I do." ”

A wave of anger rushed to Xiao Daniu's heart—can the humble be bullied? Have they all forgotten that the humble also have the right to resist?

Don't they care about the rebellion of the lowly?

Xiao Daniu was furious, and he didn't know what he had done. When he came to his senses, he found that his left hand had choked the neck of the young Taoist, and the young Taoist priest had no power to resist in his hands, his body kept shaking, and seemed to be shrinking, while his right hand was still carrying a pitchfork.
