Chapter 72 Congratulations to the Groom (11)

I put on my clothes and stood there looking at Yang Sizhao for a while. Yang Sizhao lowered his head and didn't look back at me, as if he had done something wrong and was a little embarrassed.After a while, I said, "Go, let's go to the entrance of the village to have a look."

"Hey." Yang Sizhao hurriedly responded, and went to the entrance of the village with me.There was a group of villagers around the entrance of the village, but most of them were old and weak, women and children, and there were no young people. This was because most of the young people in the village carried Yang Siwei out of the mountain with the head of the clan last night.

When I went to the entrance of the village, I saw the Erdang's family leading bandits from Hushan, wearing white belts.Seeing that it was me and Yang Sizhao who came out of the village, the Erdang family couldn't help being taken aback, and asked, "Why are you, the patriarch?"

"Yang Siwei is seriously injured. The patriarch brought the younger generation of the village, and carried him out of the mountain to see a doctor overnight." I said, "Why is the second head here? Is there something wrong?"

"The patriarch left the mountain last night, isn't he in the village?" The second leader looked at me suspiciously.

"If the Erdang family doesn't believe it, they can wait at the entrance of the village. When they come back from the mountain, they must pass through this place to enter the village." I said, and then asked, "What happened?"

The Erdang didn't answer me, probably because he thought I was not from Xiaoyang Village and didn't want to waste words with me, so he sat on the ground at the entrance of the village, probably waiting for the head of the village to come back.I glanced at the burden beside him, it was covered with a white cloth, it should be Hu Xiaoshan's corpse.

The bandits blocked the entrance of the village and did not retreat, and the people of Xiaoyang Village did not dare to return to the village, so the two sides confronted each other like this.It wasn't until the afternoon that there was a sound of footsteps behind the bandits.When the bandits heard the sound, they all jumped up and turned to look behind them.

The patriarch led a few young men and carried Yang Siwei out of the mountain path, and was immediately surrounded by the second leader.The patriarch was startled when he was suddenly surrounded, and seeing these people wearing white belts, his face turned pale with shock, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened to the second leader?"

Seeing that they really came back from outside the mountain, the Erdang family believed my words, and said: "The patriarch came back just in time, please give Hushan an explanation for this matter!"

"What explanation?" The patriarch was angry when he heard the words, "You killed a young man of my Xiaoyang Village, and seriously injured another one, so I want my Xiaoyang Village to give you an explanation!"

"Xiaoyang village lost a young man, but our Hushan lost a young master." The second master's face was gloomy, and the bandits beside him were also ready to move.

"What, the young master is dead!" The patriarch said in surprise, with a look of panic on his face, "Didn't you see him well yesterday?"

"Young Master's death has nothing to do with us." Someone in the village suddenly said.I turned around and saw that it was Yang Sizhao who spoke.

"Then how did the young master die?" The patriarch yelled at him, and then turned to the second master, "Second master, if the death of the young master is really related to our Xiaoyang Village, I will not tolerate it, and the perpetrator will be handed over to Hushan disposal."

"It must be related. As for whether you can hand over the perpetrator to me, it's hard to say." The second master seemed to have thought of something, with a gloomy expression on his face.The patriarch naturally hurriedly asked him what was going on.

The people in Hushan kept swearing, but they didn't know who they were swearing at.Erdangjia sighed and told the whole story.After we left Tiger Mountain yesterday, the wolves all over the mountain started howling that night, making it difficult to sleep.Because when Yang Siwei left Hushan that day, he said that the bitch would come to Huxiaoshan for revenge. Although the second master didn't believe it, he was still a little worried, so he went to Huxiaoshan's room to look for him.

Unexpectedly, when he got to Huxiaoshan's room, he found that Huxiaoshan was not there.He was so shocked that he immediately looked around for someone, but he couldn't find him anywhere, so he called up the bandits in the village, searched the village without success, then went out to look for them again, and finally met Yang Siyuan and the person who jumped off the cliff in Xiuping. place to find him.

At this time, Hu Xiaoshan was already miserable, his whole body was covered with bitten wounds, and there was not a single intact place.When the bandits saw this, they were shocked and panicked, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that Hu Xiaoshan was bitten to death by wild animals like wolves.They all remembered Yang Siwei's words in the daytime, and they all said that the bitch really came back to avenge Yang Siyuan.

After listening to his narration, I glanced at the patriarch, and then said to the second leader: "In that case, what are you doing in Xiaoyang Village, revenge? Then you should find a bitch."

The Erdangjia sighed in frustration, and I could naturally see at this time that although the bandits came to Xiaoyang Village, they were not fierce. It must be because the Shaodangjia was killed and they always wanted to show something, and they didn't intend to kill Xiaoyang. How about the village.

Sure enough, the second master was depressed for a while, and said to the patriarch: "Don't worry, the patriarch. We came to Xiaoyang Village this time to inform that Xiaoyang Village lost a young man because of Tiger Mountain. Now we also lost the young master. It's evened out, and all grievances and grievances are gone."

The patriarch let out a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "The second leader is right."

The Erdang family waved his hand and signaled the bandits to carry away Hu Xiaoshan's body on the ground, while he walked over, picked up a machete beside Hu Xiaoshan, handed it to the patriarch, and said, "This is Yang Siyuan before jumping off the cliff." The machete left behind was taken away by our young master before, so let’s return it to the patriarch now.”

The patriarch took the machete, and I asked strangely, "Why did he take Yang Siyuan's machete?"

"What are you doing? Before Xiuping jumped off the cliff, I wanted to kill him with this knife," said the Erdangjia in a depressed mood. "I don't know what he's doing with the knife. Maybe it's because it's the only thing he can have." Something related to screen embroidery."

The person he likes wants to kill him before he dies, and the only thing he can have related to her is the knife she used to kill him!

I thought of the weeping young bandit who told Xiuping that as long as she was willing to go with him, it didn't matter if he left Hushan.Although Hu Xiaoshan is a bandit, how many people can compare to him in terms of deep affection?It's just a pity that everything in this world can be stolen and robbed, but people's hearts can't be touched or touched.

The Erdang's family left with the bandits carrying Hu Xiaoshan's body, Yang Sizhao and the others came up to help carry Yang Siwei into the village, and the patriarch saw that I was still there, so he walked side by side with me.As I walked, I said to him: "There is a dog in Yang Sizhao's family, does the patriarch know?"

When the patriarch saw me mentioning the dog, he stopped suddenly, paused, and then said: "I know. That beast likes to hurt people and domestic animals, so Sizhao never let it out. Why, did it hurt sir?"

I shook my head and said, "No. But after I had dinner at Yang Sizhao's house last night, I suddenly remembered something and went back to his house, only to find that Yang Sizhao wasn't there, and neither was the dog. It's so strange, it's the middle of the night Yes, where is he going with the dog?"

"There is such a thing?" The patriarch was also surprised, and quickly stopped Yang Sizhao, asking him where he was last night.Yang Sizhao laughed and said, "Sure enough, Mr. went to my house last night. I saw that the oil lamp was broken. I was afraid Mr. would be embarrassed, so I didn't mention it."

"I'm sorry," I laughed too, "but where did you go last night?"

"Hey, I was careless while feeding the dog, and the beast ran out. I was afraid that it would hurt people, so I chased it out too."

"Oh." I suddenly realized, "Did you chase it back later?"

"I've chased him back." Yang Sizhao said, "I've been chasing him most of the night."

"I want to see this dog, is it convenient?" I followed up.

The patriarch squinted his eyes and said, "It's not inconvenient. But why did you suddenly become interested in that beast?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of the bitch's revenge for the Lord, and I was a little touched, and I suddenly wanted to see it."

The patriarch smiled, looked at me for a while, and felt a little emotional: "It's also a dog, and that beast can't be compared with a bitch. But since the husband wants to see it, then go."

At this time, all the people blocking the entrance of the village left, and Yang Siwei was also carried back, leaving only Yang Sizhao with us.He seemed to want to say something, moved his lips, but no words came out.The patriarch glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yang Sizhao seemed a little panicked, and said to me: "What's so interesting about that mad dog, if it hurts Mr., it's a serious crime, so don't go..."

"Didn't you usually close it, how could it hurt me?" I said lightly, "It's okay, I just look at it through the door and window, and I won't be hurt."

Sweat dripped from Yang Sizhao's forehead, and I asked him strangely, "Why, is it inconvenient?"

"It's not inconvenient, sir, just go as long as you want." Yang Sizhao forced a smile, lowered his head and led the way.The patriarch and I followed him into the courtyard, and Yang Sizhao led us to the woodshed. I looked in through the open window, but saw it was empty.

"Where's the dog?" I asked, and the patriarch also looked at him when he heard the words.

"Ah? The dog...the dog may have escaped again." Yang Sizhao said in an authentic manner, but he didn't dare to look the patriarch in the eyes.

He was lying, because the woodshed door was bolted, and the dog would not open the door and run away.The patriarch naturally thought of this, looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "You... you let that beast go!"

Yang Sizhao fell to his knees with a "plop", kowtowed to the patriarch several times, and said in panic: "Patriarch, it... it's just a dog, and it helped us again, you... you let it go, it won't come back of."

"You really let it go!" The patriarch stomped his feet repeatedly, his face turned pale with anger, "You are trying to kill the whole village!"

Yang Sizhao hurriedly said: "No, it will look for food by itself after hiding in the mountains, and will not come back to look for us."

The patriarch sighed: "It doesn't matter whether it comes back to us or not, but—what if the people from Hushan find it?"

I could already hear from the side that the patriarch wanted Yang Sizhao to kill the dog before leaving the village yesterday, but Yang Sizhao couldn't do anything with the dog he raised since he was a child, so he put it deep in the mountains.

Yang Sizhao was stunned for a moment after hearing the words of the patriarch, and then tremblingly said: "No...it can't be such a coincidence?"

The patriarch stared at him for a long while without saying a word.Yang Sizhao was sweating profusely when the patriarch saw him, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going into the mountain to get it back. I brought it into the mountain, so I know where to find it."

"I'll go with you." The patriarch said, turning around and asking me, "Since you want to see the dog, would you like to go with us?"

The two of them talked in front of me, clearly revealing that the dog was extremely important, and even related to the lives of the whole village.I remained calm and didn't ask any questions, just nodded and said: "If you want to go into the mountains to look for dogs, I'm afraid you have to start now, otherwise it will be dark in a few hours."

The patriarch said: "Mr. is very right." Then he ordered Yang Sizhao to bring a dog catching noose, and then the three of us entered the mountain together from the path behind the village.

We walked all the way to the mountains. At the beginning, there was still a way, but in the end, Yang Sizhao needed to use the mountain machete to open the way.After walking in the jungle for almost half an hour, there was a sudden movement in a bush, and a wolf-like figure rushed past us.

"Here!" Yang Sizhao was overjoyed, and began to bark softly to wake up the dog.However, after a while, there was no response from the bushes. Obviously, the dog did not accept his call.Yang Sizhao gritted his teeth, pushed aside the bushes and got in.Unexpectedly, as soon as he got in, he heard another rustling in the bushes, and the dog ran away again.

Yang Sizhao hurriedly followed the sound, and the patriarch and I followed behind him. The three of us and one dog chased each other in the mountains, and we went farther and farther. By the time I realized it, we had come to a dangerous road .This is a sheep intestines path, just on the edge of a cliff.
