Lao Yang's family was dancing all night, and some of the villagers who were brave enough came out to take a look.

When the villagers saw so many masked men surrounding Lao Yang's house, they already guessed that the bandits from Jiguan Mountain were coming for revenge. How could anyone dare to join in the fun?

That night, the entire Zhupo Village closed their doors, covered themselves in quilts, and became deaf all night long.

In the early morning, every member of Lao Yang's family was packed in sacks and hung neatly on the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

In the morning, Mrs. Bao came out of the yard and was going to sit under the big locust tree and continue to overlook life. However, she saw that her seat was occupied by the whole village.

The entire Zhupo Village, ranging from elderly people in their seventies to eighties, down to babies who have not yet been weaned, crowded under the locust tree, looking up at a spectacle they had never seen in their lives - the collective self-destruction of the old Yang family.

Hang the southeast branch.

The tree is so high that when viewed from below, the sacks that move occasionally look like huge hornet's nests.

A gust of wind blows, and the "hornet's nest" sways all around. It makes people's scalp numb for a while, and they feel that the next sack will fall down.

Li Zheng leaned close to the patriarch, frowned and asked: "Chief, can these people be saved?"

The elder was dazzled and couldn't see clearly, so he asked his son beside him, "How many sacks do you see any movement in?"

Yang Sanbo rubbed his sore neck and said, "There seem to be three."

Li Zheng muttered: "This tree is too tall to save people."

The old patriarch closed his eyes slightly and said: "The only people in the village who can climb such a tall tree are Ma Sanshou and Zhou Dazhuang. Ma Sanshou said that his hands are shaking recently and he can't climb the tree; Zhou Dazhuang also said that his hands are shaking and he can't climb the tree.

"

Li Zheng curled his lips, this excuse was exactly the same, it didn't even make sense!

In fact, everyone present knew that Ma Sanshou was afraid of offending the bandits and did not dare to save people; while Zhou Dazhuang did not want to save the old Yang family at all.

The clan leader sighed and said: "Ask Carpenter Li to build a ladder. Once the ladder is built, we can save them."

Li Zheng glanced at the swaying sack with worry, wondering in his mind whether the ladder was completed first or the hemp rope hanging the sack broke first.

If you fall from such a tall tree, you will be dead!

With the original intention of not wanting to kill anyone, Li Zheng, after discussing with the clan leader, summoned the young men in the village to collect various kinds of hay and spread them under the trees.

Unexpectedly, when the young men heard that they were helping Lao Yang's family, they all said that they had trouble at home and had no time to help.

After Ding poured the kerosene, he tricked the whole family into hiding in the back mountain. When the villagers found them after a lot of effort, the family was sitting around the campfire sleeping soundly.

Who can care about the lives of the entire village if they are in vain?

Besides, they helped the old Yang family, what if the bandits come back to cause trouble for them?

So Li Zheng had no choice but to let his son find some hay and spread it under the tree.

Mrs. Bao looked at the almost empty hay and sneered.

If someone really falls off, this little grass will not have any effect. Li Zheng is just deceiving himself and others to make his conscience feel better.

Lao Yang's family was hung for two days before Carpenter Li took his time to complete the long ladder.

By the time Lao Yang's family was rescued, every one of them had lost half their lives.

When each sack is opened, there is no worst, only worse.

Several men in the Yang family had wounds of various sizes on their bodies, and some of the wounds had begun to suppurate.

Zhao was blinded in one eye, her hands were tied behind her back, and her wrist bones were crushed.

Ding's mouth was sewn shut with needles and thread, and she could no longer utter a single vicious word. The bones of both hands were also crushed by someone.

Mr. Lai lost weight twice and was in a trance.

Yang Caixia had her hair cut and was one of the ugly ones.

The only one who was not injured was Yang Xiaohua. However, she was frightened and stopped crying. She was so fat that she only had a slit in her eyes and looked timidly at the surrounding villagers.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the villagers couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

They only knew that Cao Xiaoxue's parents were bandits, but they had never seen these bandits doing evil, so they didn't care more or less.

Someone even said in front of Cao Xiaoxue, "What's so great about a bandit's daughter?"

Now, everything in front of them makes the villagers truly feel the terror of bandits.

If Cao Xiaoxue had been willing to tell the bandit's parents about her bullying, I'm afraid the bandit would have done so long ago.

So, why didn’t Cao Xiaoxue say anything?

Aunt Wang in the crowd sighed slightly. Others didn't know it, but she knew it.

She asked Cao Xiaoxue this question at the beginning, and even encouraged Cao Xiaoxue to go to the bandits' den to complain.

But Cao Xiaoxue said at the time, "My mother's temperament is like a firecracker. If she knows these things, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause. By then, Yang Dong will not be a good person, and I will have to be forcibly taken back to the village by my mother."

go."

Later, Yang Dong died, and Aunt Wang talked about it with Cao Xiaoxue again.

Cao Xiaoxue said, "Mu Yatou is going to get married in the future. We can't let her marry from a bandit's village, or simply marry a bandit, right? Also, the stone is still so small. If she grows up in a bandit's den, she won't be able to guarantee her future.

Be a bandit too."

Aunt Wang had no choice but to ask the whole family to act with Cao Xiaoxue when Wu Dawan and Fang Fugui came, pretending that Cao Xiaoxue was doing well.

In fact, although she helped Cao Xiaoxue, she didn't agree with him in her heart.

What's wrong with the bandits? If you are a bandit, you will at least have meat to eat. If you stay in Lao Yang's house for the rest of your life, you won't even have enough to eat!

But seeing everything in front of her, Sister-in-law Wang suddenly understood Cao Xiaoxue.

She may not be a good daughter, but she is a good mother.

Sister-in-law Wang could not imagine that one day, that soft and waxy Yang Shitou would turn into a bandit and hang him from a tree without hesitation, leaving him to fend for himself.

How terrible is this?

Cao Xiaoxue once said to Aunt Wang with a smile: "When Mu Yatou grows up, I will find her a man who treats her well and let her live a good life far away from the old Yang family. As for Shitou, this child is timid.

Go to school. You don’t have to be a top scholar. I just need to be a scholar and become a teacher. I’ll be satisfied.”

Aunt Wang's eyes turned red inexplicably. God is not as good as God. Once Cao Xiaoxue passes away, the lives of Mu Yatou and Xiao Shitou will probably take a completely different path.

…

Yang Mu, who was on vacation at the bandits' cottage, didn't know the bandits' feats. She was busy repairing the table.

Qiuqiu was very excited when he came to the new environment, and took Hei Da Ya everywhere to demolish the house.

Mu Dalang went out to the village several times, cut down a lot of bamboo and came back, seduced him several times, but Qiuqiu was not interested and wanted to tear down the house.

Yang Mu's repair speed couldn't keep up with the two little guys' demolition of the house.

Chunhua and Xinghua persuaded the couple, saying that Zhu Zhu was a carpenter and they could repair the furniture when he came back.

The couple looked at each other, struggled a little internally, and decisively gave up repairing the furniture.

The oven is gone, so Yang Mu can't bake cakes and do business.

The pen and ink were gone, and Mu Dalang could not write the script in writing.

So the two of them lay side by side on the haystack, bathing in the spring sunshine, and had a rare half-day of leisure.

Jiguan Mountain is shaped like a chicken comb. Cao Xiaoxue liked to eat peaches when she was a child. Wu Dawan planted peach trees all over the top of the mountain for her daughter. Now in March, the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

The cottage is located near the top of the mountain, and the whole cottage is filled with the sweet fragrance of peach blossoms.

Yang Mu squinted his eyes, smelled the fragrance of flowers, and fell asleep.

Mu Dalang felt the rare air of isolation from the world, his mouth was soothing, and his brows were full of the unique elegance of youth.

The girl's red lips parted slightly, and she still asked the question she had been avoiding: "Your body is almost healed, when are you going to leave?"

Starting tomorrow, we will resume posting around 9pm, so you don’t have to wait early.
