big sister headed home

Chapter 52

Because of the murder case, the villagers in Doujia Village were a little panicked for a while. Whoever let the murder case happen at their doorstep. This kind of life-threatening event, no one cares about it. Everyone is afraid of the murderer. It is not good for themselves, so when they go out to the field, people choose to go together. Every household tells their children not to run around.

Dou Sishan was worried that the little ones from Dou Hua's family came to her specially, and told them to be careful, "Be sure to insert the courtyard door when you sleep at night", and told Dou Hua not to sleep too much, "Be careful if there is any movement at night". Shouting, "He believes that Dou Hua's loud voice will definitely be able to yell the people around, and the people in the village will not ignore it." In fact, Dou Sishan originally wanted to come and accompany them for a few days, but the family at home I couldn't get away, so I had to ask Dou Hua and the others more, and Dou Hua and the others nodded and agreed.

After Dou Sishan left, the brothers and sisters sat around the small dining table and ate the picked lantern fruit. When it was hot, the lantern fruit trees planted by Dou Hua were full of fruits, and there were always ripe ones intermittently. , this lantern fruit is the most delicious when it is naturally ripe and on the ground. Dou Cui and the others will pick up the ripe ones on the ground every time, put them in a basket, and the family sits together to eat.

"Sister, do you think that bad guy will come to our house?" Dou Qing asked.

"Probably not. The gangsters generally do harm for their own purposes, either for money or for sex. Our family doesn't occupy either of these. Then the gangsters will take a detour when they look at our dilapidated house. Besides Let's not be afraid of him, think about it, there are several boxes of bees behind our house, and there is a little gray in front of the house, it is clever, it will bark when it hears a movement, such a big movement, they will be scared if they are guilty of thieves " Dou Hua said,

"But don't go out if you hear noises at night, I'm the one to take care of everything."

"Sister, let's raise a dog too. Dou Dafei's Dahei is very powerful. He barks and bites when he sees people. He is so fierce that even adults are afraid of him." Dou Lin said enviously, deeply I feel that Dafei, who is followed by a big yellow dog, is very majestic. The children are afraid of him, and they are also afraid of his Dahei.

"It's too late to raise a dog now, but if you like it, just pay attention to the people in the village and see who has enough paparazzi, let's take it back and raise one." Dou Hua said.

"Okay, big sister, I'll go and bring one back. Dahei of Dou Dafei's family gave birth to cubs a few days ago. There are seven or eight puppies. His family has long wanted to give them away. Those puppies are fluffy, especially Cute." After finishing speaking, Dou Lin happily ran all the way to Dou Dafei's house to hug the paparazzi.

Dou Hua shook her head with a smile. No wonder Dou Lin proposed to raise a dog at this moment. It turned out that he had already found a puppy, and Dou Hua didn't stop him. Children are naturally fond of small animals. Having raised so many livestock and poultry, there is no shortage of a dog.

Since Dou Hua rescued Dou Dafei and his brothers in the pagoda tree forest last time, Dou Lin and their brothers can play together. Dou Dafei is older than Dou Lin and is a child head. He often leads a group of children to play around. They will also take Dou Lin with them, and those children don't reject Dou Lin so much anymore, and they know to let him go. Dou Lin also told Dou Hua that their younger brothers all envy him for having such a capable big sister, and don't Say Dou Hua is ugly like before.

Dou Hua did not expect that her one act of kindness would also get some small rewards. At least her reputation gradually improved, especially when she donated 30 taels of silver to build a school in the village. Her reputation became even better. The most direct manifestation is , When she was walking in the village, many people would put on a smiling face when they saw her, nod their heads and say hello, which is also a good change.

Less than half an hour later, Dou Lin ran back like a gust of wind, holding something bulging in his arms, Dou Hua glanced a few times, and was facing two pairs of wet eyes, good guy, Dou Lin hugged him impressively. There are two puppies, one yellow and one black. The heads of the two puppies rest on Dou Lin's arms, and their paws are also tightly clasped together. They look very nervous and bark in a low voice. The whole body shrank vigorously into Dou Lin's arms.

"Lin'er, you're hugging two sons of bitches." Dou Hua said.

Dou Lin nodded, "Yes, big sister, I think they are both the cutest, I like them so much, so I brought them back, don't big sister like them? Look, they are really cute."

As if presenting treasures, Dou Lin raised the two puppies in his arms to Dou Hua.

Dou Hua looked down at the rustic and dull puppies in Dou Lin's arms, and finally nodded, "Well, since you like them, you can raise them, but you are responsible for feeding them."

"Okay, big sister, I will feed them." Dou Lin said happily.

"There's me, there's me, I'll help feed them too, second brother, put the puppies down, I want to pet them." Little Dou Hong was also very happy to see the puppies, and she wanted to Touch them, and soon the two brothers and sisters played with the two puppies.

Dou Hua told them to be careful, don't touch the pup's mouth all the time, and be careful not to be bitten. There may be no rabies vaccine in this day and age, so they should be careful.

Dou Qing helped the two little ones use the old baskets at home, spread a layer of soft wheat straw, make a dog kennel, and put it by the door. The two puppies have since settled down in Dou Hua's house.

The corn in the field has sprouted these few days, and Dou Hua has to check the field to see if there are any that have not emerged, and they need to be replanted. After two days of busy work, they replanted all the ones that did not emerge.

The impact of the murder case has not dissipated in the village, but there is also some new news. Dou Hua heard from her aunt that the person who died in the murder case was not from their village, but from their neighboring village. A wealthy family in the village was said to be carrying money to do business, but they were met with unforeseen misfortunes. Not only did they die, but their money also disappeared. The orphans and widows left in the family are very pitiful.

When people talked about this matter, they couldn't help but sigh, and they all speculated whether the villain was motivated by money and killed people for money.

All kinds of speculation continued for a while, people panicked, people became more frightened, and they were more careful when going out and doing things. They tried not to go out, and the doors were closed and locked at night, and those who had money at home even hid the money well.

The county magistrate Wang led people to investigate several surrounding villages, and found no clues. The murder case was at a stalemate, so he had to issue a reward announcement. Those who reported useful clues about the gangster would be rewarded with ten taels of silver and caught. The winner will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Although the common people are very afraid of the villains who kill people, the silver of Baihuahua is even more attractive. For a while, the common people opened their eyes wide and took a second look at everything. Listening more, I want to get useful clues to report to the Yamen, ten taels of silver, enough to spend more than half a year, what a temptation.

The actions of the common people inadvertently created invisible pressure on the villains hiding in the dark, making them unable to sit still.

That night, in the dead of night, a dark figure swayed to Dou's Village and got into the yard of a family.

Hei Ying'er yelled in a low voice, "Brother Big Lazy, are you home?"

"Here, brother Mazi, come in quickly, keep your voice down, don't let others hear you." A dark figure walked out of the room, whispered, and led Sun Mazi to the room.

The two went straight into the back room, got on the kang, and without nodding, they just whispered in a low voice, "Brother Big Lazy, the rumors are tight recently, do you think anyone has found out about our affairs?"

"Probably not, but the people in the village have been very sharp-eyed recently. I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for too long. I haven't been able to sleep for the past two days, and I've been thinking about it." Dou Dalan sighed.

"Well, who's to say it's not? Ever since the yamen put up the notice, people in the village are blind to money and staring at other people. I'm afraid we can't hide it, and we haven't been able to sleep for the past two days. I just came here to discuss with my brothers, I don't think we can stay at home anymore, we have to go out." Sun Mazi said.

"Go out? If we leave, we will tell others that we did it, won't that work?" Dou Dalan hesitated.

"We took all the money out. They suspected that we had no evidence. Whoever stipulated that ordinary people are not allowed to go out. Besides, if we leave, they can't find us to let you. After a year or two, when this matter subsides, Let's come back and live as usual, who can think of anything and say nothing." Sun Mazi said,
"I don't want to leave either. I'm afraid that if we don't leave, we won't be able to leave. If someone troubled us and finds us uncomfortable, he will report us to the higher authorities, and the officials will come down to investigate. If there is nothing wrong, something will happen. Yes, we two brothers have done some things before."

"Brother Mazi is right, so when shall we leave?" Dou Dayan asked.

"The sooner the better, let's go tonight. You see, I've come with luggage." Sun Mazi was indeed carrying a bundle behind him, and he was murmuring that he packed a lot of things.

"In such a hurry, I haven't cleaned up yet." Dou Dalan said.

"Is there anything to clean up? You only have this little property at home. Just pack the valuables and take them away. This house is yours and no one will take it away. Pack a few pieces of clothes. The most important thing is to bring money. Once you have paid the money, everything is settled, hurry up, we will leave in a while." Sun Mazi urged.

Dou Dayan hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily, "Hey, I'll listen to you, brother, let's leave tonight."

Dou Dalan packed the parcel in the dark, packed some clothes and shoes, finally opened the kang mat, and took out a cloth bag from the kang hole next to the wall. The cloth bag was heavy, and it was a bag of silver.

Dou Dalan shook the silver bag in his hand twice, still hesitating, "Brother Mazi, do you think our money is enough for us to spend? It's not like home, everything needs money."

"This is 50 taels of silver. Why is it not enough for you? What else do you want?" Sun Mazi and Dou Dayan have similar tastes. When they heard his words, they immediately smelled such an unusual smell, and grinned. A smile came from the corner of his mouth, "What else do you want to do?"

Dou Dalan chuckled in a low voice, "Brother Mazi still understands me. I don't think we may be able to come back if we leave this time. Why don't we get some more money, and we will settle down outside and marry a wife. We are too young." It's time."

"From what you're saying, do you have someone to look up to?" Sun Mazi said.

Dou Dalan didn't hide anything, and said, "Brother, I really like a family in our village. This family is easy for you and me. It doesn't take much trouble. Let's work harder tonight." , get some money and go far away, we will never come to this place."

"Does his family have any money? This has to be done. If there is no money, we'll be wasting our time and exposing us," Sun Mazi said.

"Of course, a few dozen taels of silver is no longer a problem, and this job is simple, we can get it casually. If you and I add a few dozen taels of silver, our lives will be more comfortable in the future."

"Well, well, tell me about his family, and I have an understanding, hehe, the more money the better." Sun Mazi was very happy, and getting money was more important than anything else.

Dou Dayan leaned close to Sun Mazi's ear and muttered in a low voice. Sun Mazi kept nodding his head, feeling that the job done this time was really a job for nothing.

The two had a brief discussion, and then hid the packed package again. Both of them were wearing dark clothes and covered their faces with a rag mask. Getting ready, the two quietly walked out of the yard , followed the corner of the wall, blended into the night, and walked towards the house Dou Dalan was talking about.
