Mugui

Chapter 77 When to leave?

Old Yang's chickens and dogs danced all night, and the villagers came out a little bit boldly to have a look.

When the villagers saw so many masked men surrounding Lao Yang's house, they already guessed that the bandits from Jiguan Mountain had come to take revenge. How could anyone dare to join in the fun?

That night, all the people in Zhupo Village closed their doors and closed their homes, covered in quilts, and became deaf all night.

In the early hours of the morning, every member of Lao Yang's family was packed into sacks and hung neatly on the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

In the morning, Mrs. Bao came out of the yard, ready to sit under the big locust tree and continue to overlook life, but she saw that her place was taken by the whole village.

People in the entire Zhupo Village, ranging from 80 to [-]-year-olds, down to unweaned babies, all crowded under the locust tree, looking up at the strange scene they had never seen in their life—the old Yang family collectively hanged themselves Southeast branch.

The tree is too tall. Looking up from the bottom, the sacks that move occasionally look like huge hornet's nests.

A gust of wind blew, and the "hornet's nest" swayed together, making people's scalp numb, feeling that the next one of these sacks would fall off.

Li Zheng leaned next to the patriarch, frowning and asked: "Patriarch, can these people be saved?"

The old patriarch was presbyopic and couldn't see clearly, so he asked his son beside him, "How many sacks do you see moving?"

Yang Sanbo rubbed his sore neck and said, "There seem to be three."

Li Zheng muttered: "This tree is too tall, it's not easy to save people."

The old patriarch slightly closed his eyes and said, "Ma Sanshou and Zhou Dazhuang are the only ones in the village who can climb such a tall tree. Ma Sanshou said that his hands were shaking recently and he couldn't climb the tree; Zhou Dazhuang also said that his hands were shaking and he couldn't climb the tree. "

Li Zheng curled his lips. The excuses he came up with were exactly the same, and they didn't use his brain!
In fact, everyone present knew that Ma Sanshou was afraid of offending the bandits and did not dare to save people; Zhou Dazhuang didn't want to save Lao Yang's family at all.

The patriarch sighed, and said: "Look for Carpenter Li and build the ladder. After the ladder is ready, save them."

Li Zheng glanced worriedly at the dangling sack, thinking to himself, wondering if the ladder was finished first, or the rope hanging the sack broke first.

Such a tall tree, if it falls, it will be dead!

Based on his original intention of not wanting to kill anyone, Li Zheng, after discussing with the patriarch, summoned the village boys to collect all kinds of hay and spread it under the tree.

Unexpectedly, when the boys heard that they were helping Lao Yang's family, they all said that they had something to do at home and had no time to help.

After Ding poured the kerosene, he tricked the whole family into hiding in the back mountain. When the villagers tried their best to find them, their family was sitting around the campfire and sleeping soundly.

Disregarding the lives of the entire village, who can care about their lives?

Besides, they helped Lao Yang's family, what if the bandits came back to trouble them?
So, Lizheng had no choice but to ask his son to find some hay and spread it under the tree.

Granny Bao sneered as she looked at the nearly nonexistent hay.

If someone really fell, it would be useless for such a trivial matter, and Lizheng was just deceiving himself and others to make himself feel good about his conscience.

Old Yang's family was hanged for two full days before Carpenter Li took the time to complete the long ladder.

By the time Lao Yang's family was rescued, everyone had already lost half their lives.

When each sack is opened, there is no worst, only worse.

The men of the Yang family all had wounds of various sizes, and some of the wounds had begun to fester.

Mrs. Zhao was beaten blind in one eye, her hands were tied behind her back, and her wrist bones were crushed.

Ding's mouth was sewn up with needles and thread, and he could no longer utter a vicious word.The bones of both hands were crushed abruptly.

Lai's lost a full two laps, and he was in a trance.

Yang Caixia's hair was cut, the ugly ones.

The only one who was not injured was Yang Xiaohua.However, he was also frightened and stopped crying. The fat man only had slit eyes and looked timidly at the villagers around him.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the villagers couldn't help but gasp.

They only knew that Cao Xiaoxue's parents were bandits, but they had never seen these bandits doing evil, so they didn't care more or less.

Someone even said in front of Cao Xiaoxue, "What's so great about a bandit's daughter".

Now, everything in front of them made the villagers truly feel the horror of the bandits.

If Cao Xiaoxue was willing to tell the bandits' parents about being bullied, the bandits would have done so long ago.

So, why didn't Cao Xiaoxue say it?

Aunt Wang in the crowd sighed slightly. Others didn't know, but she knew.

She had asked Cao Xiaoxue this question back then, and even encouraged Cao Xiaoxue to go to the bandit den to file a complaint.

But Cao Xiaoxue said at the time, "My mother's temperament is a firecracker. If she knows these things, I don't know what will happen. At that time, Yang Dong will not be a good man, and my mother will forcibly take me back to the cottage. go."

Later, Yang Dong died, and Aunt Wang talked about it with Cao Xiaoxue.

Cao Xiaoxue said, "Girl Mu will marry in the future. She can't be allowed to marry from a bandit village, or simply marry a bandit, right? Also, the stone is still so small. If she grows up in a bandit den, she won't be able to secure her future." Be a bandit too."

Aunt Wang had no choice but to let the whole family cooperate with Cao Xiaoxue in acting when Wu Dawan and Fang Fugui came, pretending that Cao Xiaoxue was doing well.

In fact, although she helped Cao Xiaoxue, she didn't agree with it in her heart.

What's wrong with the bandits, at least you can eat meat if you are a bandit, you can't even get enough to eat if you stay in Lao Yang's house all your life!

But seeing everything in front of her, Mrs. Wang suddenly understood Cao Xiaoxue.

She may not be a good daughter, but she is a good mother.

Sister-in-law Wang couldn't imagine that if one day, that soft and sticky Yang Shitou turned into a bandit, he would hang him on a tree without hesitation and let him fend for himself.

How terrible is this?

Cao Xiaoxue once said to Aunt Wang with a smile: "When girl Mu grows up, I will find her a man who treats her well, and let her live a good life away from Lao Yang's house. Go to school. You don’t have to be the number one scholar, but you can just be a scholar and be a teacher, and I’ll be satisfied.”

Aunt Wang's eyes were inexplicably red, people are not as good as heaven, once Cao Xiaoxue passed away, the lives of Mu girl and Xiao Shitou would probably take a completely different path.

……

Yang Mu, who was on vacation in the bandits' cottage, didn't know the feats of the bandits. She was busy repairing the table.

Qiuqiu came to a new environment, very excited, and brought Hei Daya to demolish houses everywhere.

Mu Dalang went out of the cottage a few times, came back after cutting a lot of bamboo, and seduced him a few times, but Qiuqiu wasn't interested, and he just wanted to demolish the house.

The speed at which Yang Mu repaired could not keep up with the speed at which the two little guys demolished the house.

Chunhua and Xinghua persuaded the husband and wife, saying that the pillars can be carpenters, and they can repair the furniture when he comes back.

The husband and wife looked at each other, struggled a little inwardly, and resolutely gave up on repairing the furniture.

With the oven gone, Yang Mu can't bake cakes for business.

The pen and ink are gone, and Mu Dalang can't work hard to write a script.

So the two lay side by side on the haystack, basking in the spring sunshine, and it was rare for them to steal half a day off.

Jiguan Mountain is shaped like a cockscomb. Cao Xiaoxue liked to eat peaches when she was a child. Wu Dawan planted peach trees all over the mountain for her daughter. Now in March, the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

The cottage stands near the top of the mountain, and the whole cottage is full of the sweet fragrance of peach blossoms.

Yang Mu squinted his eyes, smelled the fragrance of flowers, and felt drowsy.

Mu Dalang felt the rare air isolated from the world, the corners of his mouth were relaxed, and his brows were filled with the unique elegance of youth.

The girl's red lips parted slightly, and she still asked the question that she had been avoiding all along: "Your body is almost healed, when are you going to leave?"

　Starting tomorrow, it will resume around 9:[-] p.m., so you don’t have to wait early
