Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 222 Relief
Qingcheng's New Year's Fair is a well-known big fair for dozens of miles. After all, there are still a few days before the New Year's Eve. Those big roosters on duty shouted their voices on time, breaking the tranquility of the winter night and waking up those who were rushing to do business. People, this is the coldest time of the day. Although the road has melted snow and formed a thin layer of ice, it still hasn't stopped the flow of people going to the fair in Qingcheng.

When the rooster crowed three times, the streets of Qingcheng Town were filled with those early-rising businessmen. Flashlights and horse lanterns quietly pulled a little gap in the night, revealing a faint light, and the fragrance of the steamed bun pot made people salivate. , The "squeak" frying sound from the deep-fried dough stick pot strikes the nerves of those people who are fasting in the morning. There are crowds of people on the streets, some are clearing the snow, some are busy setting up stalls, and some are displaying goods. These businesses One's busy day is opened in this cold and tranquility.

Qingcheng Town has set up a large array of holiday gifts, and the people from all over the world also got up early and flocked to Qingcheng Town from all directions.Father Sun hadn't shown a smile yet. Old Mu, like everyone else, had dinner early and went straight to Qingcheng Town by bike, thinking about preparing some New Year's goods early, and then went to school to see Mu Zhen, and casually asked about the situation of the dick.

Due to the thin ice on the road, Lao Mu rode carefully along the way, worried that he would accidentally fall and make a joke.

After crossing the last small bridge, it is Qingcheng Town. Although this small bridge is only a stone bridge across the irrigation canal, the slope formed by the slightly higher slopes on both sides of the irrigation canal makes it difficult for people walking on the icy road. Never daring to take it lightly, Lao Mu got out of the car ahead of time and was about to get on the bridge when the voices of the two people in front attracted his attention.

"I heard that the young man who beat your son was released by the police station." The old man walking in the middle of the road said to the hunchback on his left.

"I heard about it yesterday too!"

"It is said that there is no crime for beating someone?"

"Hey! How can there be no crime? I came so early today because of this matter. I want to go to the police station to argue!"

"What's your theory?"

"My son's eyes can't be opened yet. How can he be said to be innocent? At least he should be contracted to recuperate!"

"You really don't understand. I heard from the nephew who was driving in the police station yesterday that your son did it first. The young man who beat him was just self-defense. Of course there is nothing wrong with it!"

"Then, at least some medical expenses must be paid, right?"

"Are you still in the dark?"

"How did you stay in the dark? What did you keep in the dark?" the hunchbacked old man turned his head and asked the old man in the middle of the road.

"You really don't know?"

"What do I know, I know that he beat my son, so he should contract labor to recuperate!" the hunchbacked old man said a little angrily.

"You don't know the truth. At that time, your son and several other people were thinking of borrowing money from two students. Although they said it was borrowing, it was actually a robbery. If you don’t want to do anything, your son hit the young man first, and someone hit your son in the eye, this is the truth, you must not go to the police station, otherwise you will only be asking for trouble!”

"What you said is true!"

"Then it can be false. It was reported from the police station, and I heard that your son and those who went with him are going to be sued!"

The hunchbacked old man immediately lost his confidence just now, and said with a little resentment: "My son is really not up to date. He hangs around with those kids who are not doing business all day long. I don't know how many evils he has done outside. I can't control it. Let the police station come here now." Take it easy, don't worry!"

"Look at what you said. It's too late to say anything now. This is at least a first-time offender. It's the best way to find someone to avoid the lawsuit!"

The hunchbacked old man didn't reply immediately, and the two fell silent, but Lao Mu's heart was not calm, and he thought to himself: "Based on this guess, the one who was beaten by the bastard was the hunchbacked old man's son, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? The same event that injured the eye?"

Lao Mu slowed down the speed a bit, and wanted to listen carefully to what else the two of them were talking about.
"Where is anyone at the police station? Your nephew is driving at the police station. Let's see if he can help you. Let him help you out. Don't let us get involved in this lawsuit, won't you win?"

"That's true, I'll ask him for you!"

"I'm going to buy something at the fair, and I'll go to your house with me. We can't go to your house empty-handed for the New Year's Eve!" The hunchbacked old man became more polite, as if he didn't have the fierce spirit just now.

"I'm just saying something, it's all from neighbors and folks, so there's no need to be so polite!" The old man in the middle of the road responded easily.

"Thank you very much, even if I don't buy you anything, I can't just lie to your nephew. It's a big holiday, go to the market to buy something, let's go to your house together! Otherwise, it will show that you are not sincere in helping !" The hunchbacked old man spoke very seriously, and the old man in the middle of the road nodded, approving the hunchbacked old man's words.

"The one who hit people, I heard that he was from Li Village, and he said he knew some kung fu. It is said that he was merciful, otherwise your son would not have saved his eyes. I heard from my nephew that this man is honest and never causes trouble. No, and he is good at playing the suona, maybe you have seen this person in the funeral team in the village!"

Old Mu heard it clearly, Xia Li Village can prove that the said beater must be a jerk, when he came, his heart fell to the ground, the bastard had already returned home, and he was indeed defending himself just as Tian Cheng said. Acquitted.

Lao Mu felt much more relaxed, and the resentment that had been pent up in his heart for a few days disappeared immediately.
