"Daughter-in-law Aaron, what you said makes some sense, but you are young and don't understand people's hearts. Let's just say that in the famine years, parents sold their children and daughters. How can I feel sorry for them? There are so many empresses in the palace vying for the top position. There are times when the queen can't help herself, as the old saying goes, if you can't let go of your children, you won't be able to trap the wolf."
The village chief's wife glanced at the young daughter-in-law and expressed her opinions in a clear-cut manner.
Xiao Yuanbao and A Zhen were sitting under the flower tree at the entrance of the mansion, listening to loud gossip.
A Zhen had a cold look on his face, his fingers were trembling slightly, and his eyes were like broken ice.
Xiao Yuanbao moved towards A Zhen, held A Zhen's hand tightly, tilted his head to look at him, and said softly: "Brother A Zhen, don't be afraid."
Xiao Yuanbao's hands, fleshy and slightly sweaty, wrapped A Zhen's hands warmly, soothing A Zhen's mood.
"I'm not afraid." A Zhen shook his head.
There were many things that made the queen unable to control herself, but A Zhen knew that she would not let her sister go to trap the wolf.
His little sister is as cute as Xiao Yuanbao.
Pink little face, big eyes.
Wearing a red shirt and holding two snails on his head, he shuttled through the yard filled with flowers and trees, calling his brother softly and sweetly as he ran.
He would pick up his sister, and the queen would smile softly and tell him, don't drop her.
The last time he held his sister was on the day of the Spring Festival.
Her little body lay curled up in his arms, her big eyes closed, her whole body cold and lifeless.
The queen mother lost her composure and fell from her phoenix seat, with a look of despair on her face.
Then the edict to establish the crown prince was withheld, and although his mother still retained the title of queen, she was thrown into the cold palace. Then he was sent to Nanguan Town by his father.
As soon as he arrived in Nanguan Town, he met Xiao Yuanbao.
He almost thought that his sister was back, and all his brotherly affection for his sister was transferred to Xiao Yuanbao.
"Brother Azhen, where is your sister?" Xiao Yuanbao asked.
A Zhen felt that Xiao Yuanbao could understand adults' discussions and knew his identity.
"Went to a very far away place." A Zhen said sadly.
"Brother A Zhen, don't be afraid. I will accompany you from now on." The petals from the tree fell on Xiao Yuan Bao's conch. Xiao Yuan Bao picked it off and handed it to A Zhen. Then he stretched out his hand and hooked his little finger, "Here, pull the hook. , unchanged for a hundred years.”
A Zhen smiled, stretched out his little finger and hooked Xiao Yuanbao's finger: "Okay, it won't change for a hundred years."
The capital city undergoes drastic changes, the prince is not established, the little princess gets lost and dies, the queen is thrown into the cold palace, and the noble concubine takes power... The turmoil in the palace is too far away from Shenshu Village and cannot affect the lives of the villagers in Shenshu Village.
It was the gossip army who had already gathered at the gate of the mansion. They discussed a few words, sighed for a while, and then forgot about it.
The topic started to involve weddings in the village, the mansion that Xie Xiaolian bought, and finally it came down to the prediction of Lao Bai's fifth child's ranking...
Without a theme, just scratching the surface can turn everything upside down.
"Attention, attention..."
"Notice, notice..."
A burst of eardrum-piercing gongs and drums sounded on the village road.
"Don't worry, the county government has issued a notice."
The village chief, Zhao Defu, held a cigarette pot in his mouth and came to the door of the mansion in a high-spirited manner.
He had no choice but to sneak around under the big tree in the village's gossip base without seeing anyone. He found that people were gathering at the door opposite Lao Bai's house.
Came in a hurry.
"Everyone be quiet." Zhao Defu glanced at the crowd and saw that his wife was always holding him back. She knew that he had something to announce, but she was talking happily to the little wife next to him.
His prestige was compromised by his wife.
"Bang!" Zhao Xiaogui, with a sullen face, struck the gong in coordination with his grandfather.
The village chief glanced at Zhao Xiaogui with satisfaction. His grandson was still on the road, and there was a successor to the throne of the village chief of Shenshu Village.
"Be quiet." Zhao Xiaogui shouted loudly under his grandfather's encouraging gaze, "Mistress, can you take the lead and be quiet?"
The village chief's wife rolled her eyes at her grandson and took the lead in quieting down.
The villagers stared at the village chief silently, wondering what important event the county government should announce.
Could it be that someone from the royal family died?
The village chief found a sense of authority under the expectant gazes of the villagers. He pulled up his clothes, smoothed his hair, handed the pot to Zhao Xiaogui next to him, cleared his throat and said: "Recently, two wild boars, one male and one female, went to the lower mountain village. They ruined the crops and bit the people in the village. The village organized people to hunt wild boars in the mountains, but no wild boars were caught..."
Wild boar?
The faces of the villagers were not as uneasy as when they mentioned the wild boar before.
This is thanks to the work of the Lao Bai family. .
There are wild boars in Nanguan Mountain. They come down the mountain during spring sowing and autumn harvest every year and destroy crops. One year, they even destroyed some people's crops so much that there was no harvest. The victim, Lao Bai, has the final say on this.
Every year, the village organizes strong laborers to go deep into the mountains and forests to hunt wild boars, but nothing is found.
Instead, some people were gored and bitten by wild boars.
Later, the wild boar was hunted by the white wooden board. Over the years, the crops in Shenshu Village have never been damaged again.
The harvests are greater than in previous years, and every barn has accumulated a surplus of grain over the years.
The wild boar aroused the villagers' gratitude to the old Bai family, and they all turned to look at the Bai family members standing opposite.
They don't want their crops to be destroyed by wild boars again.
But what does the wild boar in Xiashan Village have to do with their Shenshu Village? The spring plowing in Shenshu Village has always been smooth.
The villagers looked at the Lao Bai family again.
"Zhao Defu, you are such a mess, and you only talk about the important things." Everyone looked at the white wooden board and felt uncomfortable, so they shouted to Zhao Defu.
"That's it. The wild boar was not hunted, and it alarmed the eye-catching white-fronted female insect in the mountains. It bit two men on the spot, and one of them died on the spot. Then, the man Xia Qinghe was bitten. He escaped with good luck, but he was also torn apart. A piece of thigh meat fell off."
Mother bug?
Everyone's expressions changed.
This guy is very ferocious and is much more dangerous than a wild boar.
Wild boar people can still escape with luck when encountered, but it is difficult to escape when faced by a female giant insect. The worst case is death, and the worst case is serious injury.
Everyone patted their chests, thankful that the big female insect had not harmed Shenshu Village.
"This is a matter for Xiashan Village. Why are you looking for our Shenshu Village?" someone asked.
The village chief glanced at the man with dissatisfaction and felt that the young man was too young and did not look forward to the problem.
"You don't know the meaning of lips dying and teeth cold?" Village Chief Zhao used idioms and continued, "I don't know how long the big female insect has been entrenched in the mountain. It has never come down the mountain before. It was alarmed this time. It was said that it was a tiger in the past few days. After wandering around Nanguan Mountain all day, villagers in Xiashan Village also saw a yellow figure this morning."
"In the past few days, no one in our village has gone up the mountain. I don't know. Several people from other villages who went up the mountain to cut firewood were bitten by female bugs, fainted from fright, and even had a baby taken away. Several village chiefs came to me to find out. I reported it to the county government, and the county magistrate took it seriously and organized all our villages to go to the mountains to hunt tigers."
Fighting a tiger?
They say a tiger's butt cannot be touched, let alone beaten.
That's easy to say.
Who dares to go up and fight that big insect?
I'm afraid even the hunters in the mountains wouldn't dare.
If the tiger fails to hit, it will be a serious matter if he loses his life.
The villagers looked at each other and soon started a commotion.
