Chapter 11 Old Master Wang
Luo Xiuying saw that the fat woman was crying even more, and when she saw the fat little corpse, her heart suddenly softened, remembering her father and husband's daily behavior, and she didn't want to worry about this person anymore, so she took out a silver tael and threw it in front of the woman.
The fat woman picked up the silver taels on the ground, raised her tearful pumpkin face and looked at Luo Xiuying.
Luo Xiuying sighed and said: "Fat Dun, this kid's life is hard, so he left, and my heart as an aunt is not comfortable, but I am not a god in the sky, I can't bring the dead back to life, let alone give you a living son." That's ten taels of silver, even if I, as an aunt, buy a coffin for the child!"
Regardless of the fat woman's reaction, she turned around and strode towards the wooden house on the second floor.
Watching Luo Xiuying enter the house and close the door, the crowd gathered outside the small courtyard suddenly discussed. The most spoken word is the two words "shrew!"
"This 'hob meat' is crazy for money, right?
"That's it, Jin Peng also saved his man's life from the tiger's mouth before, it's really chilling!"
"Xiuying's heart is too soft, this is all promised, this time it's her son, next time if her man goes out hunting and hurts her muscles and bones, will the whole village have to accompany her family?"
"It's a bad guy who can always say some crooked reasoning! It's really worthy of 'hob meat', not to mention buying a coffin for ten taels of silver, it's more than enough to build a few tiled houses!"
"I've never seen such a shameless woman, and I'm really embarrassed to accept other people's money!"
"Hmph, if people don't have the right mind, they can do anything!" "Come on! Don't talk about others here, I don't think there's anything wrong with what people do, if it's your child who dies, you are more powerful than her?" "Your child will die!" "Your child, your child!" There were two women who quarreled over this, but fortunately, the crowd of onlookers pulled the two apart in time, otherwise, it would be another scolding fight.
In the scolding and disdainful eyes of everyone, the fat woman wiped the tears and snot on her face, quickly picked up the silver two, picked up her son's corpse, and slammed into the crowd with a cloudy face, and walked towards her own small courtyard.
In the hall on the first floor of the Luo family, Da Niu, Shui Sheng, and Xiao Juan saw this scene clearly through the crack in the door, clenched their fists fiercely, and looked angrily at the fat woman who disappeared from the yard.
If her eyes could kill, this fat woman would have been completely skinless under the gaze of the three of them!
At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves and the sound of the wheels of the carriage passing quickly from the entrance of the village, and after a while, with the sound of a shouting mule and horse, a tall jujube red horse stopped and snorted, and behind him, a black painted carriage stopped steadily outside the door of Luo's courtyard.
The driver was a hideous, ugly-looking groom, with a long scar from his forehead to his chin, and it was difficult to tell his actual age from his face. The groom grinned at the crowd at the door of Luo's house, put away the whip in his hand, and jumped nimbly out of the carriage, respectfully lifting the curtain on the carriage.
Out of the carriage came an old man dressed as a white Confucian with white hair, the old man looked like he was in his sixties, dressed in a half-worn gray cloth robe, the snow-white lining of the robe was spotless, and his right hand shook a foot-long gold-lacquered folding fan, and his thin face was not angry and arrogant.
Many people recognize that this old man is the retired official gentry of Wangzhuang next door-Old Master Wang. Before the crowd had time to disperse, there was a commotion, and many men stepped forward to greet the old man, who smiled and nodded in response.
At this time, the groom had taken out two gift boxes containing snacks from the car, and there were three brocade boxes of different sizes on the gift boxes.
Wang Lao is a big village, far more populous than Hanquan Village, Wang Lao has hundreds of acres of fertile land under his name, there is a school at home, as long as there are villagers willing to send their children to study, Wang Lao Master does not charge tuition, just by virtue of this, in Sili and Eight Townships is quite respected.
Everyone saw that Old Master Wang was coming to Luo's house, so they were embarrassed to continue to watch here, and slowly dispersed after saying hello.
Seeing that everyone was scattered, Old Master Wang looked up at the small courtyard where the Luo family lived and the spacious and neat two-story wooden building in the courtyard, shook the clean gray cloth robe, and said loudly: "Zhou Jinpeng and Zhou Xian's nephews are here, and the old Wang Qi came to pay a visit, I don't know if I can see my face?" Although Old Master Wang is old, his voice is full of energy.
The big yellow dog barked twice, ran out, and stood at the door grinning at the old master Wang.
Old Master Wang was not afraid at all, raised his feet and walked towards the courtyard, and when he saw the big yellow dog blocking the way, he actually made a gesture at the big yellow dog. The big yellow dog tilted his head in confusion, seeing that Old Master Wang's action didn't seem to have any malicious intent, he actually wagged his tail at Old Master Wang and got out of the way.
The horseman who drove the car was happy in his heart, and also grinned at the yellow dog, it was good that this person did not laugh, and the ugly face of the smile could not help but make people's hearts beat, and even the big yellow dog was very uncomfortable when he saw it, lowered his head, whined a few times, as if he did not dare to look more, turned his head and walked away. Only then did the groom carry the gift box and quickly followed.
Hearing the voice of the old master Wang, Luo Xiuying walked out of the wooden building, saw the old master at a glance, smiled with a smile on her face, walked down from the second floor quickly, and said: "It turned out to be Uncle Wang, the uncle is a rare guest, the husband went out hunting and did not return, the uncle is an elder, what is there to make people bring a letter over, wait for Jin Peng to come back, let him go to see his uncle, how can he work in person?"
Old Master Wang waved his hand and said, "Shan Ye Villager, what is there that you can't drive, but Xiuying's niece is polite." ”
His gaze slowly swept over the small courtyard, turning around on the clusters of verdant bamboo in the courtyard, sliding past the patchwork of hibiscus and magnolias, and landing on a row of gossip piles on the west side of the courtyard for practicing the body. There was a look of joy in his eyes, and he said: "Your father is not only enviable with good martial arts, but also has more elegance in his chest, but he is a real hidden master. ”
After that, he sighed lightly, a trace of loneliness appeared on his face, slowly closed the folding fan in his hand, and said: "Since your father's death, the old man has been living at home all these years, and he has never stepped into Hanquan Village, I am really ashamed!
Before the words fell, the two wooden doors of the hall on the first floor "creaked" open. With a "plop", Xiao Juan fell to the ground with the open wooden door, and behind her, Da Niu and Shui Sheng were startled, and they all took a few steps back and hid behind the door. It turned out that since Mr. Wang entered the small courtyard, the three children had been squeezing around the crack of the door to peek, but they accidentally squeezed the door open.
Xiaojuan raised her head from the ground, flattened her small mouth, and was about to open her mouth to cry, when she saw her mother's sweeping gaze as sharp as a knife, she was startled, hurriedly got up, turned around and ran back to the house with tears in her eyes, and slammed the door shut.
Luo Xiuying knew that the three of them had been looking out in the hall, her face sank, and she said, "What are you three making trouble in the house? Who took off the threshold again? Don't you know that there are guests? Don't you dare to come over and see Grandpa Wang soon, and ask Grandpa to rest in the house?"
The two wooden doors were pushed open from the inside again, and the three children rushed out and stood side by side in the doorway, looking curiously at the old master Wang and the groom behind the old master Wang.
When Old Master Wang sat down on the leopard skin chair in the house, Luo Xiuying was busy making tea. The big cow said hello to the old master of the king when he saw it, followed behind the groom who put down the gift box and withdrew from the hall, ran outside the courtyard, and "studied" the carriage and the jujube red horse that pulled the cart.
The tears in Xiao Juan's eyes had already reached her sleeves, and a pair of dark eyes kept circling around the two gift boxes, secretly guessing what delicious things were inside.
Shui Sheng ran up to Old Master Wang and asked curiously, "Grandpa, what were you going to do to Rhubarb just now?"
Old Master Wang stretched out his hand to twist his beard, smiled, and said: "Of course the old man knows that it is a dog, but it is a good dog, more sensible than many people, such a good dog deserves to be worshiped by the old man!"
Shui Sheng scratched his scalp and looked ignorant, Old Master Wang slowly stretched out three fingers and said, "The old man has always divided the dogs in the nursing home into three grades. The lowest grade is the kind of dog that runs outside with the owner on his back and bites people secretly, and even bites when he sees people, and even bites the owner in a hurry, this kind of dog can be called a mad dog, for this kind of dog, what do you say should be done?"
Shui Sheng tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Kill and eat meat." ”
Old Master Wang nodded and said: "Yes, the vicious dog is like a wicked person, to deal with this kind of mad dog and extremely vicious people, there is only one way to kill them, and there must be no mercy, otherwise they will hurt others and themselves!"
After a pause, he said: "As for the middle product, it is the kind that always guards the door of the house, and barks at passers-by every day, regardless of whether they are passing by. This kind of dog is naturally timid, but it has to stand at the door of the house and pretend to be vicious, although this kind of dog can not be the savior and protector at the critical moment, but it can also remind the owner on weekdays, beware of thieves. ”
Seeing that Shui Sheng listened carefully, he said: "The top-grade dog is like this big yellow dog, strong and healthy, with sharp claws, daring to fight with wolves when critical, and can keep the safety of people and animals at home, and can recognize visitors, and does not bark and bite people indiscriminately, this kind of dog has a little understanding of human nature, can be described as the top grade! Generally speaking, the character is also loyal, although it is not a human being, but it is more reliable and respectable than some stupid and treacherous people, and when encountering this kind of high-grade dog, the old man naturally has to be respectful!"
Shui Sheng smiled and said, "But my mother always said that rhubarb is eaten too much, it's not good!"
Old Master Wang hahadaxiao: "Don't be afraid to eat too much, as long as you don't be lazy, it's a good dog!"
