He Tieguai said: "Don't talk about that day. Our family has not been to the mountains since last year. Brother, you know us. Our family is mediocre in bows and arrows. We can't afford hunting, so we rarely go to the mountains."
.”
Someone choked and said, "Who can testify for you? If you said you didn't go up the mountain, you didn't go up the mountain?"
He Tieguai looked at him: "Here, our family is the only one living here. It's really hard to prove..."
He thought for a moment: "By the way, I remembered that Baoan was sick that day. I still remember that when the accident happened, I heard the sound and got up and touched Baoan's head first. It was burning hot, so I was so anxious.
No, I didn’t go out to see what happened.”
He Dalang said from the side: "Dad, you remembered wrongly. Baoan had a fever the day he had his head shaved."
He said to the head of the He family: "Uncle, that day, Baoan and Zhen'er were playing in the snow. Because the snow had melted by this time, they had gone a little further. For a moment, they didn't notice. Even the sleeves and front were
It got wet, and the fever started that night. My dad ignored it the first day and didn't take any medicine. As a result, he had a severe fever all night. I went to get him some medicine early in the morning, but he didn't even take one dose!"
He took the basket from the rafters and showed it to them.
He Tieguai said: "That's the thing." He seemed to have just remembered: "By the way, speaking of medicine, I still have the medicine bag here! I thought about leaving it to light the fire, but the fire has not been turned off.
It’s useless.”
He stood up and looked around, then found it near a cabinet not far away and handed it to the clan leader.
The patriarch's son took it and counted it. It has been six days since the day of Widow Cui's accident. There are exactly six medicine packs.
Everyone was silent.
The head of the He family stood up and said, "Brother, that's because I'm too worried. Don't be offended, brother."
He Tieguai said: "Human life is the most important thing, how can I be offended!"
The group of people came out, and then they were at a loss.
Someone said: "If it's not He Tieguai's family, who could it be?"
"I just don't think they would do this. They have a good family. If we really encounter a bear, how can we not even break the skin? Just throw away our clothes?"
Another person said: "By the way, I remembered it. Could it be that the clothes worn by a man and a woman were eloped? That's why the family didn't dare to tell anyone!"
"It's possible!" Someone said: "If you don't go up the mountain often, you won't be able to scare the bears! Speaking of which, most of the bears haven't woken up yet!"
The more everyone guesses, the more they feel like it.
Finally, the head of the He family sighed: "Maybe that's the case, otherwise there would be eight villages in ten miles without anyone making a sound."
So the matter was settled.
After He's eldest daughter-in-law, Ning, finished burning the man's head, she came to find Tang Shijin. She was full of filial piety and didn't even come in. She just talked outside.
Tang Shijin said: "I have also bought a piece of land behind your house. When the time comes, I will build a wall and open a door from your yard. It will be convenient for you to raise it. I can't spare it these days, so you can keep it like this for now."
, if you have anything to do, ask Xiaoqi."
Ning whispered: "I'll raise this one, where's Brother Ci?"
Tang Shijin smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have other things for him to do. When I get back, I'm still thinking about you taking care of Ququ. Although this child is small, he is very quiet and does not make trouble. Ruan Ci said one thing
I can give you two hundred pieces of silver per month."
Ning said: "That's no need. I'm already embarrassed for taking away his job."
Tang Shijin smiled and said, "Then you can discuss it then."
Ning thanked her profusely and called Ruan Ci again. She went over to look at the chickens, ducks and rabbits. Food and other supplies were readily available. To raise them, you just had to mix them, clean the chicken coop, pick eggs, goose eggs, etc. And...
The place where everyone lives is close to a very wide river, and the ducks can go to the river to find food by themselves.
When Mrs. Ning came back from a busy morning, He Yuanxiao had already delivered three days of rice, grain, meat and vegetables for their family, and said: "Jin'er said, if you want to get cooked food from now on, just go to my grandma directly for three meals."
Leader, if you want to make it yourself, I will give it to you once every three days, or you can convert it into silver. The silver is twenty cents a day for you, and fifteen cents a day for your eldest daughter. I can give it to you on a monthly basis.
Think about it, if you want to fold, it will start from the beginning of next month."
Ning thanked her profusely.
As a result, while she was busy, her younger siblings came again and started nagging her again. Ning was so angry that she almost fell out, and then she left.
Yang Pengxiao was in the restaurant all day, and there was no one here, so Ning went there several times a day and was very considerate.
Then Tang Shijin freed up his hands and directly called the people from the masonry team to come over and build a fence. In addition to chickens, ducks and rabbits, the boss's area also had a place to raise sheep and pigs in the future.
She used herself to save people, fearing that they would find it smelly, so she also bought the house next door and moved it all in. The closest one was the chicken coop and the duck coop, which were relatively less smelly, and the smelliest pig house was placed far away.
, everything is taken care of neatly.
In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed again.
After Mrs. Ning finished crying for He Da, she went out to cook for her children, only to see her younger siblings coming again.
Three times a day, such a gentle person like Ning couldn't help but show anger: "Marry me if you want! If you do this again, I will have to ask the clan leader for comment!"
Mrs. Zhao laughed anxiously and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't be angry. I'm here to see my elder brother and offer him some incense."
Mrs. Ning then calmed down her anger. Ms. Zhao put on some incense and covered her face and cried a few times. Ms. Ning made her cry so hard that she couldn't help but cry for a long time. Ms. Zhao managed to persuade her and gave her some advice.
Pouring a glass of water: "Sister-in-law, drink some water, but don't break your body from crying."
Ning didn't think much, so she took it and drank it.
Mrs. Zhao said a few more words, then stood up and left. When she turned around, she saw Mrs. Ning crying again. She couldn't help but feel guilty on her face and hurriedly walked away.
Not long after, He Tie came in and said, "Brothers and sisters, I will give He Da a stick of incense."
Ning hurriedly knelt on the ground and bent over. He Tieguai lit the incense and said, "My condolences to my brother and sister, I'm leaving first."
It was already past the first seven days, and the family members no longer had to stay in the mourning hall. Ning stood up to see him off. Who knew that as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy. She exclaimed in a low voice, and then her eyes went dark. He
Tieguai immediately opened his hands and hugged the woman in his arms. He looked at the woman in his arms, sneered and said in a low voice: "Shameless!"
He hugged the woman and pinched her twice before running out and saying, "Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
As soon as Tang Shijin's meal was served, He Yuanxiao came over out of breath and said: "Jin'er! Jin'er!"
Tang Shijin said: "What's wrong?"
He Yuanxiao said: "I heard that Aunt He fainted in the mourning hall. He Tieguai happened to come over to offer incense, and then he carried her all the way to Dr. He. Then her siblings said that she asked a man to hug her, saying it was God's will.
Or something, forcing her to marry He Tieguai!"
"What?" Tang Shijin was simply unbelievable: "What did the aunt say?"
He Yuanxiao said: "When I came, the aunt was kneeling on the ground and begging the clan leader, saying that she would rather die than remarry. She said that life is He Da's person, and death is He Da's ghost."
Tang Shijin stood up suddenly: "I'll go take a look."
