The old man's family's mule-drawn carriage went further and further away.
The old man rushed to the town to find the doctor.
The young man hugged his wife tightly with one hand and held her silver hairpin in his other hand. However, the little ten taels of silver that had been robbed was not taken seriously and was still scattered on the board of the car.
Thinking that this silver hairpin was given by the daughter-in-law's grandmother when she got married, it has a different meaning. They came to Helan Town in the rain because the daughter-in-law wanted to go back to her parents' home to visit her grandmother who broke her leg.
Thanks to the three little brothers who helped snatch the silver hairpin back.
I thought that without those three righteous little brothers, they would still be in danger of losing their mule and carriage, and people would be tied to a big tree and not know whether they would live or die. They proposed to go back to the town together, but the three little brothers waved their hands to urge them. They were all bleeding. We followed the car together. The car couldn't go fast. Wouldn't it be weird if your wife vomited after smelling the smell? Go quickly.
The young man shouted to the three people in the distance: "Brothers, where are you from and what are your names?"
The three brothers of the Xu family waved to the mule cart in the distance and shouted: "Erdaohe Village, Hao Xianghua!"
After shouting, the three brothers looked at each other.
The three of them did not expect to have such a tacit understanding.
It seems that they all remember the words that their elder brother taught them:
If you do bad things, you should keep your name, and if you do good things, you should keep your mother's name.
Because my mother has a good reputation, and being envied by people I know is more satisfying than letting my mother eat big fish and meat.
After the old man's family left, the three brothers of the Xu family buried the large knife they had snatched from the four kidnappers on the spot.
Find a shady place at the foot of the mountain to dig a hole and mark it. There is a large stone on it that looks like it has rolled down accidentally, and there is a layer of wet tree leaves scattered around.
I thought about looking for opportunities to dig them out and bring them home.
As for the four kidnappers, they are currently being tied up in a cave. They are tied back to back in pairs and stuffed into their mouths with smelly shoes. They also took off their pants and burned them to keep warm.
In this case, it is enough to simply tie the wrists of those people with live buckles, and you are not afraid that they will break free from the live buckles and catch up later. After all, it is difficult to enter the city with bare buttocks.
It can be seen that the three brothers of the Xu family have overcome their anger and have returned to their senses.
If you kill someone, doesn't that make you a murderer?
Or something else, I haven't killed anyone, and I feel unhappy.
This time, he was also anxious, so he had to take action.
Otherwise, if you want to kill him, Xu Laoer has the "poison" hellebore in his body. A few mouthfuls of it can make it look like he was killed by accidental ingestion of weeds.
But when the three brothers went to the road to pick up pears, they wanted to go up the mountain again and kill those people in the cave.
"Second brother, it's dead."
Xu Laoer was very sad: "It's okay, Fourth Lao, wipe the good pears with your clothes and put them in a bag. It's too bad, you and your third brother eat it quickly. This is not the money you robbed. If you rob so much, wait until The town will buy more autumn pears for Tian Xin to make up for it." A sack must be filled up.
Xu Lao Er and Lao San were busy cleaning up the scene of the fight, tidying up their broken wooden bowls and gourds.
"There are still fish. Second brother, the fish is gone too."
"Stop looking. Who knows where the drill went? We have to rush back before the city gate closes and wait until we get to the town to buy two more." The newly purchased ones are designated to be more lively.
The three brothers didn't bring anything else to buy. They just bought pears and fish.
This is my wish before departure. I must fill my backpack with household items and return home with bulging gifts.
The three brothers of the Xu family put the trampled autumn pears in their lapels in their pockets. The water hyacinth just happened to be gone, so they could eat the pears to quench their thirst and go on their way.
The rotten pears were mixed with mud, and they couldn't be picked out. They were crushed to pieces by trampling, but Xu Laosi didn't mind and took a big bite. After chewing, his eyes lit up: "Huh? It's so sweet."
In fact, among the Xu brothers, the fourth is the most talkative. Because his uncle was only four years older than Xu Tianxin, and after Xu Tianxin was born, he was also a child.
When the eldest brother and sister-in-law were alive, he could still borrow a few mouthfuls of delicious food. After the eldest brother was gone, the delicious food in the family would have to be available to the little niece first.
He has not eaten serious fruit for several years. He only tasted it when he went up the mountain to pick shad seeds. Even the sedge fruits and Hei Youyou had to bring them all down the mountain to his niece.
Xu Laosan also picked out a rotten pear and started to chew it. He ate it in three mouthfuls and chewed the pear core, which was sour and sweet.
"Second brother, you eat too."
"I'm not thirsty, you two eat...well."
Before he finished speaking, the second brother stuffed a pear into his mouth.
Is it tasty?
Delicious and sweet.
Xu Laosan and Xu Laosi suddenly burst into laughter:
"Second brother, I didn't expect you to be so fierce in a fight."
Of course, I am your brother, and he is the only one who has been personally taught by his eldest brother, okay?
I want Xu Lao Er to tell his heart: He is from a poor family, and he is afraid of paying for damage to someone, and he does not have a father or brother to support him, so he does not dare to fight easily with others. Otherwise, he would have defeated all the invincible opponents in the world. He is not a person with a weak nature.
"Second brother, tell me, how do we make up the seven and a half taels of silver we robbed?"
"You guys are lying. Isn't it okay if I don't say anything?" No matter what lie he told, he would agree to it.
"Second brother, you have to pretend to be an honest person in front of your mother again."
The three brothers chatted and laughed and strode forward. This time when passing through the village, they didn't dare to stop to buy some dry food. They would rather continue on their way with their hungry stomachs growling.
As soon as we reach the town, we are almost home. The closer we get to home, the more excited I become.
"Hey? Don't close it!"
Just before the city gate was about to close, I saw three strong young men running from a distance.
They were carrying sacks and luggage on their backs, the oilcloths on their shoulders fluttering in the wind like cloaks, and the big green hats plaited with rice dumpling leaves on their heads were also lost when Saya ran forward.
"thanks, thanks."
"Lu Yin, unload your luggage, straighten your arms, and pour everything in the bags onto the table."
The main purpose is to search for weapons. The more turbulent the year, the stricter the inspection to prevent bandits and uprisings.
The four government officials guarding the city gate pinched their noses to check the Xu brothers. What does this smell like?
When they noticed that Xu Laosan and Jean Xu Laosi were turning backwards, the two government officials immediately drew their knives and said, "Why is there blood?"
When the three brothers of the Xu family took off their clothes and told the government officials why there were blood stains with facts, Zhao Dashan's man Youbian walked over.
He originally gave Zhao Dashan the order to go to Wangjiagou to repair the dam as soon as he got off duty. Then he happened to see the shocking scars on the backs and shoulders of the three brothers.
I heard that some of the blood stains were caused by work wear and tear. It took more than a month and the new wounds covered the old ones.
Some were whipped by the county corvee and were beaten every day, and some were stabbed with sharp objects when digging out dirt in the sinus canal.
After the three people were released, Youbian asked, "Who is this? They are making money at the expense of their lives."
When I heard about Erdaohe Village, my surname was Xu.
Youbian thought: These people are not making delicious food for him. There is really no one else with such skills. Is that the son of Mrs. Xu’s family?
But this time, the three brothers of the Xu family couldn't help but be happy when they successfully entered the town. They told each other to put on their clothes and don't let their mother see their injuries. They were really almost home this time.
"What to buy? Fish."
There is a kind-hearted lady who sees how difficult it is for these guys to make money. She doesn't take advantage of it and asks you to buy my fish? Earn some flip-flopping money or something like that.
Instead, she told him: "Emma, you have closed the stall early. Isn't this a leak? The town forced everyone to build a dam and only allowed them to set up their stalls before noon every day. So, even if you set up stalls, you should listen to me. Don't go to the market entrance. If you want to buy fish, get up early tomorrow. Do you see that road? There will be several big carts there, and they will all be selling on the carts. You can buy as many fish as you want, and whatever fish you want to buy. What kind of fish is there? It’s not like the fish in the market.”
The Xu brothers were very sorry and only bought Qiuli.
Let's go, I have to be home at midnight today anyway.
At the same time, when Zhao Dashan led a group of government officials into Wangjiagou for rescue, they were shocked by the scene before them.
