fisherman's evening

Chapter 82

"My mouth!" Zhang Shugen still didn't intend to admit it, so he said: "The animals are not only cows but also mules, so I'll just say it casually."

Yu Laosan knew that today Zhang Shugen would not be able to get recognition easily, so he said harshly: "If you don't tell me clearly one, two, three today, your other arm will be broken by you." .”

After finishing speaking, Yu Laosan picked up the wooden fork on the ground again, and acted as if he was about to hit it.

"You are unreasonable!" Zhang Shugen pretended to be wronged, and said, "What is your evidence?"

Yu Lao San didn't have any evidence, so he didn't know what to say. This kid didn't want to be soft and hard, and he slipped his mouth just now.He still refuses to admit it now, what a dead duck.

"I told you, the police station has already measured the footprints." Yu Laosan lied to Zhang Shugen, and said, "And the head of the police station in the town came in person. It won't take long to find out."

"If you're telling the truth now, we can still make big things smaller." Lao Hai assisted him, saying, "If the police station finds out about the matter of stealing livestock, at least they will have to spend a few years in prison and suffer a few years of beating."

After Zhang Shugen heard this, he was even more uncertain. He really forgot to erase the footprints when he stole the mule. After all the calculations, there was still a mistake.Seeing the expressions of Yu Laosan and Lao Hai now, they seem to be real, Zhang Shugen is a little scared.

"Prison?" Zhang Shugen looked up at Lao Hai and Yu Laosan, and panicked, "Isn't it?"

"Why not? If this was the old society, it would be a crime of beheading." Yu Laosan continued to lie to Zhang Shugen, saying, "Now in the new society, that is also a serious crime, and you will be imprisoned for several years."

Zhang Shugen panicked even more at this moment, he was obsessed with ghosts, he didn't expect to get to this point.

"Then what if I say it?" Zhang Shugen asked again.

"If you tell me, you can get the mule back. I'll intercede with you at that time, and nothing will happen." Yu Laosan said solemnly: "If you can't find it, let's talk about it."

Zhang Shugen couldn't hold back the panic in his heart, he stood up quickly, and said, "I said, I said! I led it out secretly, and I know where the mule is."

"It's really you!" Yu Lao San was burning with anger, and forced himself to say: "Quickly say it!"

When the animal was borrowed, Tian Liang repeatedly asked to take good care of it, and there should be no mistakes. Now that a mule was suddenly lost, if there was a mistake, Dongshan Village would blame it, and he couldn't bear it.

"The mule is in Dongshan Village!" Zhang Shugen said with his head down.

"In my own family?" Yu Laosan asked suspiciously, "How did you go back?"

"I ran back by myself." Zhang Shugen said again: "I wanted to steal the mule and exchange it for money to pay back to Old Uncle Hai, but it ran back to its original home by itself."

"Is this true?" Lao Hai said, "The mule really went home by himself?"

Zhang Shugen lowered his head and said in a mosquito-like voice, "Really, I sent it back with my own hands."

"Well, you'd better tell the truth." Yu Laosan first looked at Zhang Shugen, then at Lao Hai and said, "Let's go, let's go to Dongshan Village to have a look!"

"Then I..." Zhang Shugen raised his head and asked Yu Laosan and Lao Hai.

"If it's true, I'll let you go for now." Yu Lao San turned around and said, "If it's false, just wait!"

After all, Yu Laosan went home and rode his bicycle to take Lao Hai to Dongshan Village.

At Dongshan Village, Tian Liang watched the sun go up three poles, picked up the rope on the bow of the boat, and went home, thirsty.

"Brother Tian!" Yu Laosan was riding a bicycle with Lao Hai at the moment, just in time to see Tian Liang stop the motorcycle at the door of the house.

"Yo! Yu Laosan!" Tian Liang said: "Your village is building roads, do you still have time to come to our village?"

"Brother Tian, ​​I'm here in a hurry." Yu Lao San got off his bicycle and said, "That mule with white hair on its face broke free and ran away last night. It was seen by our villagers and chased it. They said they followed Back home."

Yu Laosan didn't tell Tian Liang about Zhang Shugen's theft. If it was stolen, Tian Liang would be in big trouble if he stopped lending his village animals.

"Run away?" Tian Liang was surprised, and said, "Why didn't you tie it up?"

"That mule is very strong, the wood that tied it was rotten, broke the wood and ran away." Yu Laosan concealed it, and said: "You should go and have a look quickly, to see if the mule has returned to its home."

Tian Liang didn't think about it carefully, since Yu Lao San said so, he didn't go to the house to drink water, and took Yu Lao San to the mule's house first.

"Old Liu! Are you at home?" Tian Liang swallowed, and shouted towards the courtyard: "Open the door quickly."

While waiting for the door to open, Yu Lao San lowered his head and looked at the ground. There were hoof marks on the ground, and his heart relaxed a lot. From this appearance, the mule probably really came back.

"What's wrong? Secretary Tian?" A middle-aged man opened the door, and it was Lao Liu whom Tian Liang was talking about.

"Has your mule come back yet?" Tian Liang asked.

"I'm back. Before dawn, a young guy sent me back." Old Liu glanced at the two strangers behind Tian Liang, and said, "What happened?"

"It's okay, I just asked if I came back. The two brothers from Yujiawa Village were worried, so they came to ask." Tian Liang replied.

"I don't want to borrow any more." Old Liu said, "It's time for my family to use livestock!"

"Brother Liu, we're not here to borrow it back." Yu Laosan quickly explained: "We're just here to ask if the mule is back, and we'll be relieved when we do."

"Okay, it's okay, Lao Liu." Tian Liang waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, let's go."

"Well, go slowly!" Lao Liu also waved his hand, as long as he didn't borrow a mule, it would be fine.

The three returned to the gate of Lao Tian's house.

"Come in and sit down." Tian Liang said.

"No, there are still a lot of things in the village, and I can't be too busy." Yu Laosan smiled and said, "When the road in our village is repaired, I won't be able to see each other every day!"

After all, Yu Lao San and Lao Hai got on the bicycle again and hurried back.

On the way back, Yu Lao San couldn't help but said, "I'm relieved now."

"That's right, if it's sold, it's going to be a big trouble." Lao Hai also heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Young tree root, what are you going to do?"

"What can we do? Now the mule has been found." Yu Laosan thought for a moment, and then said: "However, he is also from our village, and he is from outside the village. Let him go this time first. Wait until his arm recovers." Let him go on the road and do more work, it will be considered as paying the price."

"Yeah! Got it." Lao Hai responded, "This time, it's not easy to keep him honest for a while!"
