Early in the morning, it was another frosty and foggy day. The fog was so thick that it was difficult to see anything ten meters away.
The chickens and pigs in the village were squawking with each other, and the children who got up early were dressed warmly. It was very lively chasing each other on the village road.
Today, Orion Wang is going to the town. The people in the village who plan to go to the town to attend the market made an agreement yesterday. Now they are all going to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. Orion Wang’s ox cart is parked there and waiting.
The Zhou family father and son left too early every day and they couldn't catch up. They didn't go to the town to sell anything, so they just drove the King Orion, which was just in time to reach the town.
Those who arrived late greeted those who arrived first, and everyone sat close together and had nothing to do. When all the people who had been appointed arrived, Wang Orion drove off to the outside of the village.
The fog was too heavy, so the car didn't dare to go any faster. If someone rushed out in front and I didn't see it, it wouldn't be good to hit them. It was so early in the morning.
Therefore, the ox cart moves slowly and wobblingly.
Huang Caihua, who had not been to the town for a long time, went to bed early yesterday and slept well. She was very energetic now and was looking around with great energy.
Although she could only see clearly things within ten meters, it didn't affect her excitement.
Inadvertently, her eyes glanced at the road leading to the Ping An Market, and then her eyes widened.
"Look, why is there a mule cart parked there? It's so early in the morning!"
The other people sitting on the bullock cart looked over when they heard the sound.
"Hey, that mule cart looks so much like the mule cart of the third child of the Zhang family? Didn't he go back to town yesterday? Why is the mule cart still here?"
"Yes, this is a sweet potato mule cart!"
Several people started talking to each other, and Orion Wang simply stopped the car, and everyone headed over there.
When he got close, he first called for someone, but no one answered. Wang Orion then lifted the curtain of the carriage, but no one was found inside.
The mule cart was tied to a tree.
"Maybe I am resting at home. I just don't know how to get the mule cart here. Shunzi, run fast. Go back to Zhang's house and call out to Grandma Deng and ask if anyone is at home." Wang Orion was busy.
Called his son.
Wang Shunzi responded and ran back.
At this time, there seemed to be some noise under the ridge. Several people were startled. They couldn't see clearly and did not dare to go down. Orion Wang was the brave one and jumped off the ridge to take a look.
I couldn't hold it back and screamed, "Ah! Brother Sweet Potato? Brother Sweet Potato? What's wrong with you?"
The other two men in the village listened and jumped down to help.
I saw in the grass under the ridge, a naked Zhang Diguo with smelly socks stuffed in his mouth was tied up like a pig and lying in it like a pig. His whole face was blue and purple, and he looked very bad. I don’t know what happened.
Death or life?
"Is this...death?" Yungui was shocked.
"You still have breath!" Wang Orion first sniffed the person's breath, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly untied the person, put the clothes on the side of him loosely, and asked the two people to help lift the person.
Go up.
The cabbage flowers waiting on the road were brought up by someone, and the man was shocked when he saw that the man was unconscious and his face was blue and purple, obviously from the cold.
"Ouch! What's going on? How did a good person fall under that ridge? Did he freeze all night?"
Everyone in the village knew about the fight between Zhang Digua and Zhang Hugua yesterday. In addition, Zhang Digua, who only came back less than a few times throughout the year, suddenly came back frequently. He came back almost every day and always went to the workshop.
, everyone is surprised.
This is great. Zhang Digua, who has obviously returned to town, is in this situation. How can he not be curious?
Yungui answered in a low voice and said to several women who had not seen him at first glance: "Not only that, this man didn't even have any clothes on, he was naked, tied up like a caterpillar and was thrown into the grass.
Well, I don’t know who I offended, it’s so miserable!”
When the yellow cauliflowers heard that it was still like this, they were all shocked.
"No wonder it's frozen like this. You have no clothes on!"
"This is so tragic. I don't know who did it!"
"Okay, okay, hurry up and send people to Zhang's house. Yungui, you go to the village and call for Xiang De to come and show it to others. There is only a little anger left, I'm afraid it will be bad." Wang Orion said quickly,
After loading the cart, they turned around and headed back to the village.
I didn't forget to tell the others to wait a moment and get this matter sorted before going to town.
Others were busy watching the excitement, and they were all curious about what was going on with Zhang Digua. Going to town? Not in a hurry.
The group of people hurried back to the village, and happened to bump into old Deng and Zhang Hugua who were rushing out after Wang Shunzi reported the news.
"What's wrong? My third child's mule cart is outside but no one is there? The third child went back to town yesterday afternoon. Why is the mule cart still there?"
When he was talking, he came closer and saw the half-dead Zhang Diguo on the bullock cart. He was immediately startled and said, "Ouch! What's going on! Why is my third child like this!"
Wang Orion didn't need to speak, Huang Caihua and the other women started talking about how they discovered Zhang Digua.
Song Qiu, who was following behind to watch the excitement, twitched his mouth when he heard it, and glanced at Aling subconsciously. Didn't you just tie him up in a mule cart and gagged him and let him freeze all night to teach him a lesson? Why do you still want to rape him?
Lost it in the grass?
Good guy, look at his purple face, I wonder if he is still angry.
Aling stared, it would not be easy for him to be left in a mule cart? A grown man with rough skin and thick flesh, what would happen if he froze all night without clothes? She had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she was fine even if she walked on horseback in the snow all night! Where?
Did you know this sweet potato is so weak?
Song Qiu covered his face, how could this ordinary person compare with someone with internal strength?
The group of people went up the gentle slope and entered Zhang's house. Tang Mingde also arrived on the other side.
He went into the house and lay down on the bed, lighting a fire, getting hot water to wipe him, and drinking a large bowl of hot ginger soup. It was a lot of trouble.
In the end, after all, people did not die, but came back to life.
However, in this very cold day, no matter how strong the person was, it would be too much for him to stay out in the cold all night. Tang Mingde hurriedly gave him some medicine and gave him a few bowls of water to take care of him.
This good man was obviously gone, but he was found freezing outside the village all night, tied up, stripped naked, and gagged. This was obviously a sign of revenge for offending someone.
This is no small matter.
Those who were the first to know the news kept telling each other, and soon everyone who came to see the news knew it.
As the village chief, he naturally wants to know what is going on.
So when Tang Mingde said that the person had woken up and was conscious, he immediately went into the house and asked Zhang Diguo face to face.
"Diya, what's going on with you? Didn't you go back to town? Who kidnapped you?"
At the right time, in addition to the village chief and his son, old Deng and Zhang Hugua, old Yuan, there was also Song Qiu who was crowding at the door with old Yuan.
Zhang Digua has not recovered from the current situation. Although he is warm and there is a burning brazier next to the bed, he still feels cold, so cold that his teeth are trembling.
Hearing the village chief ask what was going on, he was confused for a moment.
He was unwilling to not get the recipe and tell his boss when he went back, so he had an idea in his mind. He left the village yesterday but did not return to the town, so he stayed secretly. At night, when everyone was asleep, he broke into the Song family's house.
, I plan to find out what kind of food I made, and then I can tell you something about it when I go back.
But as soon as he entered the Song family's backyard, he was knocked unconscious from behind.
When he woke up in the middle of the night in the cold, he found that he was naked and tied up tightly. He didn't know where he was lying. He only knew that he was in the grass in the open air. His mouth was blocked, and he couldn't even call for help.
Then it got colder and colder, and this person became confused by the cold.
When I woke up again, I was lying at home.
So, what's going on?
Zhang Digua subconsciously looked towards Song Qiu who was standing at the door.
