Chapter 68 Congratulations to the Groom (7)

I was shocked when I heard it in the room. Aren't the people from Hushan attacking the wolf den? Why did they come to Xiaoyang Village? Could it be because of what I said during the day?No wonder the Second Master suddenly issued an order to evict me.

The patriarch was also quite surprised, hurriedly put on his clothes and came out of the room.I also walked out of the room, and as soon as I walked out, I saw the patriarch buttoning his clothes and asking the person who came: "Why did they come to us, who led them?"

"It's the young master." The visitor said, "I see that the blood on their bodies is not dry, it seems that they have gone through a bloody battle, and they are shouting at the entrance of the village right now. I don't know where we have offended them."

"Let's go and have a look." The patriarch was worried when he heard the words, and walked into the yard from under the eaves.I hurriedly said, "I'll go with you."

The patriarch looked back at me and nodded: "Mr. is a well-educated person. If there is any dispute later, I will ask Mr. to comment."

I also walked from under the eaves to the courtyard, and walked side by side with the patriarch to the entrance of the village.At the entrance of the village, the torches were brightly lit, and there were many people. It seemed that many people had come.Many men in the village gathered around and waited for the patriarch to come. When they saw him appear, they gave way one after another.

The bandits outside the village entrance did not enter the village, presumably because Hu Xiaotian had made a heavy oath, so they did not set foot in Xiaoyang Village.The patriarch separated from the crowd and went to the front, cupping his hands to the people outside the village: "What's the matter, Young Master, why did you come to the village in the middle of the night, but what offends Xiaoyang Village?"

The young head of Hushan, Hu Xiaoshan, is about the same age as me, with a tired expression on his face, and the clothes on his body are also in a mess. It really looks like he just went through a bloody battle. At this time, he looked at the patriarch and shook his head, and said in a rustling voice: "Dare to ask?" Patriarch, is Xiuping here?"

"Xiuping? Who is Xiuping?" The patriarch was a little puzzled when he heard this.At this time, a young man behind him suddenly had a different expression, stepped forward and whispered to the patriarch: "Brother Siyuan's new sister-in-law is called Xiuping."

I recognized this young man as Yang Siwei, last night he was the one who yelled for the bride to come out to toast, but when the bride really came out, he was overwhelmed by the bride, and even clamored for the bride to introduce him to his daughter-in-law.

"So it's Siyuan's daughter-in-law," the patriarch was a little surprised when he heard Yang Siwei's words, "Your master knows Siyuan's daughter-in-law?"

When Hu Xiaoshan heard the patriarch's question, his face suddenly burst into ecstasy, and he murmured: "Xiuping is really in Xiaoyang Village! Xiuping is really in Xiaoyang Village!"

The second leader beside him was also overjoyed, and said: "Since it is really in Xiaoyang Village, please ask the patriarch to hand him over."

The patriarch's expression changed: "Who do you want to hand over to? Siyuan's daughter-in-law did something wrong to Hushan?"

The second head was taken aback, and replied: "That's not true, but she has some disputes with our young head, it's better to ask the patriarch to call her out, so that the two of them can make it clear in person."

The patriarch looked at Hu Xiaoshan suspiciously, seeing his face mixed with joy and sorrow, although he was a little puzzled, but he probably felt that it didn't matter to let them say a few words, so he ordered Yang Siwei: "Go and call Siyuan's wife." After thinking for a while, he said, "Let Siyuan come too."

Yang Siwei agreed and went to call for someone. Not long after, Xiuping and Yang Siyuan both came. When Hu Xiaoshan saw Xiuping coming out of the village, his whole body began to tremble.On the other hand, Xiuping's face was calm, looking at Hu Xiaoshan outside the village, he called softly: "Brother Xiaoshan, why are you here?"

Hu Xiaoshan murmured: "Why did I come here? Why did I come here? I was looking for you, and I was looking for it so hard!" As he spoke, the young bandit, who was frightened by the news from a hundred miles away, covered his face with his hands and cried When I woke up, it seemed that there were endless grievances and pain hidden in my heart.

Looking at this scene, the people from Xiaoyang Village and I couldn't help but look at each other, and turned to look at Xiuping.Xiuping said softly: "Brother Xiaoshan, you have spoiled and loved me since I was a child. As a girl, I always remember it in my heart. Naturally, I also respect and respect you and regard you as an elder brother. But between us, after all, it is just a relationship between brothers and sisters." Love, you... just forget about me."

Hu Xiaoshan froze when he heard the words, squatted down slowly, put his head in his hands, and said in pain: "Forgot about you? I also want to, but there is a ghost living in my heart. It tears me and bites me, and uses its claws to bite me. I have carved a vivid image of you in my heart, don't let me forget you."

He raised his bloodshot eyes, looked at Xiuping and said infatuatedly: "I went to your house to propose marriage, but your father lied to me that you were snatched by the wolf's den, so I went to beat the wolf's den and let them argue in every possible way." Say, I can't believe you're not in the wolf's den. Since I can't find you myself, I want them to hand you over. They say I'm crazy. I'm crazy. I've been crazy since the day I saw you. Wolf The head of the nest is my father's brother-in-law, so I should call him uncle, but I still beat him."

As he spoke, he covered his face with his hands again, and tears flowed from his fingers, "I beat Hushan's brothers, and many people died. Some of these people watched me grow up, and some beat him as a child. Play big with me. Dead, dead, I don’t care, I just want to snatch you back. The wolf den refuses to give you back to me, so I’ll die with them. Later, someone told me that you In Xiaoyang Village, I will come to Xiaoyang Village to find you."

Listening to his muttering, I was as dumbfounded as the people in Xiaoyang Village.It turns out that Hushan and Wolf's Nest are on fire, and it's all because of embroidery screens!The reason why the Hushan bandits came here suddenly has nothing to do with Hu Xiaotian's death, but because I revealed that Xiuping was in Xiaoyang Village when I was in Hushan.

No wonder the second master was so interested in the matter of Xiuping at that time, he had known for a long time that Hu Xiaoshan loved Xiuping, and Xiuping was born in a winery.So when I mentioned last night that my new daughter-in-law opened a winery at home, he knew it was Xiuping, but kept his face, and didn't tell Hu Xiaoshan about it until after I left.

So speaking of it, the current siege of Xiaoyang Village is all because of me.After I figured out the connection, I suddenly felt uneasy, and whispered the reason to the patriarch.The patriarch was a little surprised when he heard it, but he didn't blame me. Instead, he comforted me and said that even if I didn't tell them, they would know sooner or later, so I don't blame myself.I was even more ashamed to hear that.

At this time, Xiuping also apologized for causing disaster for Xiaoyang Village, and at the same time told about his relationship with Huxiaoshan.More than ten years ago, Hu Xiaotian went out to buy wine in a neighboring town, and Hu Xiaoshan went out with him, but had conflicts with several children in the winery.Hu Xiaoshan grew up in a den of bandits, and he would beat people with his fists if he disagreed with him, but he was beaten to death by the tomboy Xiuping at the time.Since then, Hu Xiaoshan has been very honest in front of Xiuping.

Later, the children grew up, and the tomboy became a big girl. Hu Xiaoshan went out to buy wine with his father from time to time, and became familiar with everyone in the winery. Xiuping's father also treated him as his own child.It's just that although Hu Xiaotian used an alias to buy wine, but after a long time, Xiuping's father still found out his identity, so when Hu Xiaoshan came to propose marriage, her father naturally refused to marry his daughter to a bandit. She had been engaged since she was a child, so she was sent to the mountains ahead of time.

But unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoshan was not forgiving, and kept asking about Xiuping's whereabouts. Xiuping's father casually lied that she was snatched away by the people from the wolf's den.Hu Xiaoshan believed it was true, and really went to the wolf's den to ask for someone.But in fact, Xiuping is not in the wolf's den, so naturally the wolf's den can't hand it over to anyone.But Hu Xiaoshan was furious, thinking that they were determined not to hand over Xiuping, so the two sides disagreed, and they started fighting like this.

As I listened, I suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Xiuping's family wanted to send her into the mountains ahead of time, but it turned out that it was to avoid Huxiaoshan.But the strange thing is, how could Hu Xiaoshan be so credulous that it was the wolf's den that took Xiuping away?But thinking about it again, maybe because of Hu Xiaotian's death, Hushan had already had a heart-to-heart knot with the wolf's den, and the matter of Xiuping was just a fuse, so he was relieved again.

Hu Xiaoshan was talking, with a lot of tears and snot, and everyone was a little bit embarrassed when they saw this. They didn't expect such a passionate seed to appear in the bandit's den.Hu Xiaoshan looked at Xiuping obsessively, and said: "I know you don't like me being a bandit, but I was born in a bandit's den, and I was born a bandit. What can I do? You don't like me being a bandit, as long as you Tell me, I will give up Hushan and go with you, so what does it matter, as long as you... as long as you go with me."

What he said, let alone embroidered screens, even I was a little moved when I heard it.Sure enough, there was a moved look on Xiuping's face, but her words were firm, she said softly: "Brother Xiaoshan, although you are muddled about what you did for my sister, I am not a heart made of stone, why don't you?" I don't know what you mean. It's just that you've seen it too. Now that my sister is married to someone else, I only hope you will be happy for me, and then go back to live a better life. What do you think?"

Hu Xiaoshan said blankly: "Go back and live a better life?"

Xiuping said: "Yes, I only hope that you can find me a handsome sister-in-law as soon as possible."

Hu Xiaoshan gritted his teeth, and suddenly shouted: "I don't care, as long as you come with me, these people must be stopping you and not allowing you to follow me, right? I'll snatch you out right away!" "

After hearing what he said, the people in Hushan were all ready to move.Seeing this, the patriarch shouted loudly: "Men from Xiaoyang Village, all the men with handles under their crotches should pick up their knives. I'll see who can snatch away the daughter-in-law of Xiaoyang Village!"

So all the men in Xiaoyang Village showed their machetes, and the two sides immediately clashed with each other.The patriarch said to the second master with a sullen face: "Second master, are you just watching the young master messing around like this?"

The second boss looked meaningless: "You young people have never messed around. When I was his age, I liked the widow in the tofu shop next door but I didn't dare to say it. Now that I think about it, I only regret that I didn't snatch her back then."

The patriarch was furious for a while, and said angrily: "The oath that the head of the family made to the mountain god back then, doesn't work now?"

Erdang was taken aback, looked at Hu Xiaoshan, scratched his head, and said: "It works, why doesn't it work. People from Hushan won't enter Xiaoyang Village. But, if people from Xiaoyang Village want to leave the village , it’s better to hand him over.”

This is blatant banditry.The people in Xiaoyang Village and I were trembling with anger, but there was nothing we could do.I remembered what Yang Sizhao said on the way to Hushan today, if the old patriarch knew that after saving Hu Xiaotian, he would get the situation of besieging the village tonight, I'm afraid he would regret it.

The bandits from Hushan surrounded Xiaoyang Village, and no one in the village was allowed to leave the village until they were willing to hand over the embroidery screen.The patriarch was very angry, but he couldn't really use a few machetes to fight against the Mauser guns, so he had no choice but to let everyone in Xiaoyang Village retreat to the village.

Since the people in Hushan were restricted by Hu Xiaotian's oath and could not set foot in Xiaoyang Village, the patriarch told everyone to go back to sleep, leaving only Xiuping and Yang Siyuan behind.Xiuping's expression was awkward, and she whispered to the patriarch whether she was with her, blaming herself for causing trouble to Xiaoyang Village.

The patriarch waved at her and said, "You can't be blamed for this matter. You are the daughter-in-law of my Xiaoyang Village. If anyone wants to plot against you, just step on dozens of men from Xiaoyang Village."

Both Yang Siyuan and Xiuping were deeply moved and wanted to say more, but the patriarch didn't allow them to say any more, and sent them all back to sleep.Seeing that the patriarch was determined, they had no choice but to go back hand in hand, leaving me alone with the patriarch.
