Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 81 The Price of Deception

In an instant, pig-killing howls resounded through the sky!
Widow Qiu jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, staggered and ran for a long distance before stopping, tears streaming down her face.

"Ah, so I can go!" Someone shouted immediately.

"That's right, didn't she break her leg at all? This woman is really lowly! She pretended to be injured and lied to others!"

The village chief also turned his face, and flicked his sleeves, "You two brothers and sisters are too shameful, don't do this kind of thing again, or you will never be spared!"

"No, village chief, my elder sister really hurt her leg, village chief, don't go!" Qiu Changrong was in a panic, and wanted to keep the village chief and visit his elder sister again, not knowing what to do.

"This shameless woman!" Du Xian shook his head again and again, and went to drive away the crowd, "What are you looking at, it's a lie if you don't see it, you didn't fall at all."

The women surrounded Widow Qiu and cursed, and the men also cursed and left.

"Second brother, you know how to prick silver needles, when did you learn it?" Du Xiaoyu asked, "I see that Widow Qiu really hurt her leg, otherwise I wouldn't let you try it? Are you treating her?" All right?"

"Haven't learned how to treat it yet?" Du Wenyuan said lightly.

"Ah?" Du Xiaoyu became more and more surprised, "Then she is..."

"It hurts too much."

"Ah?" Du Xiaoyu shuddered, "Second brother, you are so cruel!" How painful it is to make people forget their own pain and get up, Widow Qiu really did it to herself this time!
At this moment, Zhang Zhuoyu pulled Wan Fanglin over and said, "Senior Brother Du wanted to bring us to visit Master Xia Lin, but we didn't expect to see a good show as soon as we came. It was even more exciting than in the book, but how did you let her crawl, Senior Brother Du?" Get up? Do you know how to prick acupuncture points with silver needles?"

Du Wenyuan smiled and didn't answer, what kind of acupuncture points do you want, he has a little internal strength now, is it not easy to make people hurt?Fortunately, the silver needle was not broken inside, otherwise it would be a little troublesome, he raised his sleeve slightly, "Go, I will take you to meet my master."

Zhang Zhuoyu had long heard the name of the tiger-fighting hero, and when he saw Lin Song up close, he was indeed tall and mighty, so he admired him very much.

Du Xiaoyu was talking to Wan Fanglin from the side, "Why are you here suddenly today?"

"A few days ago, my cousin heard Mr. Du ask a hawker in the market how to catch crabs, so I realized that you want to go fishing in the river by yourself." Wan Fanglin pursed his lips and smiled, showing a delicate face under the hood, "Cousin I also like crabs the most, so I asked my parents to bring me to play in the village, and my mother agreed, and let us stay here for two days, and then go back with Mr. Du."

Hearing that there was a way to catch crabs, Du Xiaoyu couldn't bear it, and hurriedly dragged Du Wenyuan to ask.Lin Songben also ate at their house every day, so everyone went to Du Xian's house together.

"...It turns out that crabs are very stupid. As long as you use a fishing rod to tie raw pork to the bottom of the water, it will eat it. When you find that the rod moves, you can lift it up gently, but you can't leave the water, otherwise it will loosen its pincers. At that time Then use a net bag to copy, as long as it is in the water, it will not escape, it will only hold the meat tightly." Du Wenyuan said in detail, "Another way is to catch it with a lamp in the dark, because crabs like light and will Gather together."

It sounds very similar to fishing for lobsters. Du Xiaoyu has caught lobsters before, but that thing is much dumber than crabs. As long as you eat it and kill it, you won’t let go. You don’t need a net bag, just go up and grab it and pull it. That's fine.

"Let's go at night!" She rubbed her fists excitedly, "The lantern is easy to find anyway, let's borrow some fishing nets."

"I'm not afraid of the cold," Du Xian said, "It's windy at night, what if Mr. Zhang and Ms. Wan are frozen?"

"Just wear more, Zhang Zhuoyu, Miss Wan, don't you?"

Du Xian patted her on the head, "It's impolite, and you don't call me young master, how can you call someone by their name?"

Du Xiaoyu scratched his face, seeing her father staring at him, he could only change his words, "Mr. Zhang."

"Just call me Zhuoyu," Zhang Zhuoyu said with a smile, "Uncle Du, it's not the first time we've met Xiaoyu, so there's no need to be so unfamiliar."

"Look, Dad, I didn't call it that." Du Xiaoyu climbed down the pole.

"He has a good demeanor. He thinks he's the same as you? Or calling him brother is more appropriate." Although Du Xian said so, he didn't insist. Be humble and polite.

"Zhuo Yu, I heard that you also like to eat crabs?" Let's call him by nickname. Although he is older than her, it's hard to pronounce the word "brother" because he's only 11 years old.

"Of course, if you don't go to Lushan Mountain, you will live up to your goals, and if you don't eat crabs, you will live up to your belly!" Zhang Zhuoyu looked at her and smiled. Since she made fun of herself last time, the relationship between the two has become more familiar, "I used to catch crabs to eat , It's a pity that senior brother Du didn't ask me, so he had to go to ask the dealer."

"Ah, so you can catch it too!" But thinking about it, Zhang Zhuoyu used to be from the village, so it's not unusual for him to be able to catch it. Du Xiaoyu took two steps forward and enthusiastically discussed the deliciousness of crabs with him.

As soon as he arrived at the door, the little wolf came out to greet him wagging his tail. Now he is huge and looks like a wolf at first glance.Wan Fanglin suddenly saw that her breathing was almost stopped, and Pian Xiaolang smelled the powder on her body, so he ran over and stretched his nose to smell it, Wan Fanglin finally burst into tears.

Zhang Zhuoyu was also taken aback, quickly pulled her behind, and coaxed her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, cousin, I don't bite."

Du Xiaoyu finally came to his senses, and quickly told the little wolf to back off, "Yes, I raised it. It's very good. Don't be afraid." Seeing Wan Fanglin poking her head slowly out from behind Zhang Zhuoyu, she stretched out her hand and shook it. On the ground, "Little wolf, get down and apologize to Miss Wan."

Sure enough, the little wolf lay down, with both ears drooping, looking so pitiful, he became cute again.

Wan Fanglin tremblingly said, "Really no, don't bite?"

"Of course." Du Xiaoyu raised her hand again, and the little wolf stood up, "Look, it can still lift its legs." She stretched out her hand and shook the little wolf's right front foot twice, and the little wolf lifted his front foot He lifted it up and gave her a hug.

"It's really interesting." Zhang Zhuoyu's eyes sparkled, "Little fish, can you let him hold me?"

"Well, come here, just do it with me." Du Xiaoyu taught him.

The little wolf also raised his leg obediently.

Wan Fanglin was finally not afraid, and felt that the little wolf's eyes looked innocent, but he still didn't dare to approach him, so he leaned against Zhang Zhuoyu and entered the house.

Du Wenyuan knelt down and patted the little wolf on the head, "You taught him so well."

"Only these two tricks," Du Xiaoyu leaned into his ear, whispered, "You don't remember, this guy often howls in the middle of the night, I hope it won't be like this these two days, otherwise Miss Wan will have to I'm scared. Hey, look at it, you're going to beg for food after doing these two actions, you glutton." He said and took out two pieces of jerky and gave it to it.

"Isn't it like you?" Du Wenyuan chuckled, "The object looks like the main character, um, that's right."

The corner of Du Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, he chased after him and beat him twice.

It was rare for two guests to come to the house, and Mrs. Zhao did her best to cook a table full of dishes, which made the two feel a little embarrassed, and even said that they were troublesome to the host.

"I'll ask Aunt Wu to borrow two thick cloaks later, it won't do if it's too cold." After the meal, Mrs. Zhao told Du Xian, "You also go with me, the two young masters and ladies can't have any accidents."

Du Xianying went out, Du Wenyuan asked Lin Song about swordsmanship, Zhang Zhuoyu listened beside him, Mrs. Zhao came over with a few cups of tea for everyone to drink, and sat next to Wan Fanglin and asked, "Our family's yellow flower did not give to Wan Fanglin. Is it troublesome, madam?"

"No, my mother likes Sister Huanghua, she says she has a high understanding."

Mrs. Zhao nodded, "That's good. I'm afraid she won't be able to learn it. As long as this year's kung fu is not long, I'm afraid she won't be able to learn Mrs. Wan's skills."

Du Xiaoyu was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Wan Fanglin, but it was too late, Wan Fanglin said, "One year? No, my mother signed a three-year contract with Sister Huang Hua."

Zhao was stunned for a moment, "What?"

Du Xiaoyu kept crying, seeing Zhao Shi staring at him, he could only say, "Yes, it's three years."

Mrs. Zhao narrowed her eyes, and clenched her hands tightly, but because there were guests at home, it was not easy to get angry, and her face seemed to be covered with ashes, which was indescribably scary.

Feeling the strange atmosphere, Wan Fanglin didn't dare to speak anymore, she lowered her head, wondering why Mrs. Zhao suddenly changed her appearance.

"Come with me." Mrs. Zhao stood up suddenly.

This sound was a bit loud, and Du Wenyuan heard it too. Du Xiaoyu cast a glance at Du Wenyuan asking for help, and followed Mrs. Zhao to her room.

After the two of them entered the room, Mrs. Zhao closed the door, turned around and pointed at Du Xiaoyu and reprimanded, "You are very good! How dare you lie to me!"

Du Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled out the back of the cushion, "Aunt Qin said it's fine. I saw that Eldest Sister likes embroidery so much, so I persuaded her not to mention it to Mother. It's none of Eldest Sister's business." She walked up two steps cautiously, thinking Pulling Zhao's sleeve, "Mother, it's only two years longer anyway. Eldest sister is good at embroidery by then, so I'm afraid I won't be able to find a husband?"

"Shut up!" Zhao Shi flicked his sleeves, "I knew you had a lot of thoughts. Huang Hua was originally an honest person, but you led her to ruin her. Now that the two of you have cheated on your parents, will you be able to pay back in the future?"

"Mother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time." Du Xiaoyu begged, "There are still guests outside."

"I don't think you have the attitude to admit your mistakes sincerely," Zhao said angrily, "kneel down!"

Seeing that she was extremely angry, Du Xiaoyu had no choice but to kneel down.

"Stretch out your hand." Mrs. Zhao took out a ruler.

Du Xiaoyu was surprised, "Mother?"

"Put it out!" Zhao yelled.

Du Xiaoyu had no choice but to spread her hands tremblingly. She didn't expect to be beaten, but felt full of grievances.I also remembered that I have worked hard to earn money for more than a year, but my status in Zhao's heart has not improved at all. This time, it was only because I felt sorry for the eldest sister that I lied to him, which caused such great anger. When I hit it, the tears couldn't help falling down.

"You still feel aggrieved?" Seeing her crying, Mrs. Zhao felt even more annoyed, "Don't think you can escape by crying, if you knew why you did it today! If you don't hit you, you don't know how to regret it!" After finishing speaking fiercely Hit her twice.

Du Xiaoyu's palms turned red immediately, and she shed more tears.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
