Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 124 Dependency
The two people who couldn't climb up the river, one named Rattlesnake and the other named Upstairs Rat, who often hang around outside, both felt regretful at this moment.

On weekdays, there is no shortage of sneaky things. When someone took money and asked them to do something, I thought it was too easy, but it was just to scare a big girl. Even if there is no money, they have done a lot of things like this. , I didn't expect to be planted here today, it really is a capsize in the gutter.

Why haven't I heard before that Dongwang Village has such a powerful character?

Not to mention that at the beginning even a half-grown man dared to stop them from questioning, and later even a little girl dared to hit him with a bamboo pole. Whoever it was, was thrown into the river to be with fish and shrimp.

Not only is it as simple as throwing it into the river, but even the countermeasures that were negotiated when it was exposed at the beginning, such as pretending to be the Lin family to make trouble, and even saying that it was a threat from bandits, are all useless.

Others are not even afraid of bandits, so what else can they do.

In fact, how could it be that the people in the village were not afraid of bandits, but watched Zhang Liu's steady posture, so they just stayed aside and watched the show.Then take me up the mountain, but as a result, the other party is wilted.

Such words are not complicated, even anyone can say it, but not everyone has the courage to say it. In the competition, the two gangsters in the river have already lost.

"Have you figured it out? Should we go to Luosi Village or where?" Zhang Liu snorted coldly and asked again.

The rattlesnake was always reckless, but seeing Zhang Liu at this time, he seemed not afraid of being intimidated, rolled his eyes, and said to Yuan Guang, "Little brother, we don't know Taishan with our eyes, so we apologize to you. You see, you didn't get hurt Isn't it a big deal for my buddy to write down your love, or just expose it like this."

Yuan Guang turned his head to the side.

"At this time, I thought it was a bit late to make the big things smaller. When I just threw you down, it was fine to make an apology, but what did you say just now? What kind of people from the Su family are you? What did you think? It is related to the reputation of our village! We must find out, where did you come from? Show it to the Lin family?" Zhang Liu was not moved by such rhetoric at all, and made up his mind to teach these two people a lesson, but their argument immediately became untenable.

On the other hand, the person who looked at these two people as a little pitiful didn't have anything to say. After thinking about it carefully, it might be like this. People have bullied people in their own village, and even lied to others that they are bandits. If they succeed, Dong Wangcun will be a joke in the future. Fortunately, there is Zhang Liu. Although he is not a good old man, he is considered kind. I didn't expect to be able to bear it at this critical moment. It is probably because Yuan Guang is here. Everyone can see the courtesy and friendship.

"Don't say it? It's okay. According to the old rules, Yuan Guang went back to get the hemp rope and tied them under the bamboo forest by the river. I'll see if there will be a hero from the Luosi village coming down to rescue you." Zhang Liu It seems to be handy to deal with these two people.

It was the first time for the two of them, who usually took advantage of the hob meat, to be so passive.

Seeing that Yuan Guang really listened to his words, he wanted to go home and get the hemp rope.

The rattlesnake was completely stupefied, "Good man, good... Han, let's say, they are all from Xiaozhou Village..."

"Oh? It's not the snail village anymore?" Zhang Liu seemed to have no intention of letting them talk, so he interrupted the conversation.

Then they were tied up with ropes, and the reason was naturally very good, "Okay, this is not a big deal, if this is the case, I should let you go back, I can't let you make such a fuss, and finally even People don't know where it is, so you should let the old people over there take care of it, so as not to cause harm everywhere!"

After saying this, he took the two people away with someone, staggering and leaving wet footprints all over the ground.

Yuan Guang stayed where he was. Seeing Ban Xia like this, he let out a sigh of relief, "Boss and Mint are in the melon shed over there, nothing happened."

Ban Xia suddenly realized that Ganqing Zhangliu already knew about it, no wonder what he said just now led to those two bastards, and now they were escorted away, they could breathe a sigh of relief.It can be seen that he is careful, at least Wu Mei is not on the scene, so it will not cause too much gossip.

"Brother, are you okay? They even pushed you, your body is so wet, even though it's almost summer, it's better to go home and change your clothes." Ban Xia was a little worried, because she couldn't afford to be sick these days.

Yuan Guang shook his head, "I'm fine, and it's fortunate that Mint found it faster, so I stopped him from above to ask. If it wasn't for that, it would be too late when Uncle Zhang arrived. Fortunately, he was fine, but the elder sister was hurt. A little scared."

As long as people are fine, Ban Xia sees Yuan Chen is still holding her fingers tightly, leading him to go to the melon shed, "Brother, you take Yuan Chen back to change clothes, I have the business here."

Yuanchen didn't say a word, but still held on to Banxia's hand tightly, and if Banxia wanted to say a few words, it wouldn't take long, so she let him go.

I don’t know who built the melon shed, but it was the size of a bed. A few wooden stakes of uneven thickness were driven into the ground to form a bed frame. With thatched grass, people may not be able to sit upright in it.

It seems that it was built last year, and it has not been demolished since then. The surrounding area is empty, and Wu Mei can only hide here to avoid the eyes of the villagers.

Wu Mei didn't have much expression on her face, she lowered her eyes in thought,
Ban Xia spoke first, "Uncle Zhang threw the two of them into the river. Earlier he threatened that they were bandits, but later he was asked that they were from Xiao Zhou Village."

Mint stood up as soon as she got excited, and almost poked a hole in the melon shed, "In broad daylight, you dare to scare people. Fortunately, my sister is fine! Be careful, and almost have an accident under your nose, hey. "

Ban Xia drooped her eyelashes, "Sister, what's going on? And Mint, how did you know to ask brother to stop it, do you know them?"

Mint shook his head abruptly, "Yuanchen and I were catching fish, but someone shouted behind us. Isn't this just in case, and I didn't see who it was, and then my brother stopped me, and I went over to fight with a stick, but they didn't bother." Great, Uncle Zhang will come after a while, and he asked me and my sister to come and hide."

So it turned out that if a big girl was stalked by a young gangster, it would not be good to hear the news anyway, not to mention that Wu Mei was a girl who was about to get married, how could she withstand such a blow.

"Well, they are all gone now, let's go back too." Ban Xia said.

Mint swung a stick loudly, "Come again next time, see if I don't break their legs!"

Wu Mei's eyes flickered a little, and she didn't know whether it was a coincidence or she was dazzled. Why did she happen to be able to see such a shadow when she was panicking?

She shook her head secretly.

Ban Xia pursed her lips, "They probably did this."

Mint stood up suddenly, looking very excited.Who they are is self-evident.

"It can't be such a coincidence, first go to the village to inquire, if you can find out who the first sister caused trouble, it would be the best, look at the eldest sister who is at home every day, and today she came out to deliver water, and met such a person People, not to mention two gangsters, if this is really... frivolous, it will not be so bad, but if you think about their purpose, someone just happened to see it, and they can't justify it. In the end, the Wu family can agree to marry them? What if If they don’t agree, they just heard the rumors, and the family will definitely not agree, if they refuse to suffer, they will be at a disadvantage, and those few, if they propose to change someone, will they disagree?” Although Ban Xia It's just a guess, but she would rather treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Wu Mei nodded, "Next time, I won't come out alone, and it won't be long."

Having said that, it is still too passive in the end.

The sisters, walking towards the house, always feel that the place is becoming more and more strange.

Yuanchen didn't speak all the time, she held Banxia's hand tightly, looking a little flustered.

When he first walked into the cobblestone path, Yuan Chen stopped leaving.

Ban Xia noticed his hesitation, squatted down, and patted his head, "What's wrong with Yuan Chen, we're going home now, quickly change our wet clothes, so as not to get sick again and have to take that bitter medicine again .”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Chen threw herself on Ban Xia, her small body shrunk into a ball.

Pinellia's heart trembled, could it be that this kid is ill again?What should I do, take him back and ask the doctor or go to the mountain to find Mu Shijiu last time.

Before she could decide what to do, Yuanchen's tears flowed down her cheeks, her two hands tightly grasped Banxia's shoulders, her small body twitched, and soon the snot came out.

Ban Xia only felt the heat on her shoulders, and heard Yuan Chen choked up and said, "Sister, I'm so scared, bad guy, so scared, wow—"

Ban Xia sat down on the cobblestone path, and the fence of the Zhang family’s vegetable garden became hazy in front of his eyes. This was the first time Yuan Chen cried bitterly. In the past, he was mostly well-behaved and sensible, and he was also forbearing when encountering things. , like a little old man's gesture.

It wasn't until later that I realized that it was abnormal at all, and it was useless to regret it. I could only try my best to accompany him so that the fear in his heart would be less.

This child was afraid that he would become a burden and be thrown away. He never caused trouble, and even shed tears silently when he was seriously ill. He was only five years old. Ban Xia didn't know when this shadow would dissipate.

But fortunately, he was finally able to cry bitterly. When he was afraid, it was gratifying anyway.

Laugh when you are happy, talk when you are afraid, and cry when you want to cry, instead of always being so expressionless.

Ban Xia's thoughts are very complicated, she is happy for Yuan Chen's transformation, and she feels guilty for crying so sadly, many words are on her lips, but she can't say them, a line of tears also flow down, she licks her mouth, sweet It's hard to tell if it's salty.

Hold him even tighter.
