Iron Bull Legend

Both families were stunned by Xiao Tieniu's scolding, and then became extremely happy. Xiu'er hugged Tie Honggang and cried with joy, while Jin Zhu and Jin Lan clapped their little hands.

Tie Hong just rested at home for two days and set out in an organized manner for his second trip to the mountains. This time, more than ten people went out than the first time. He stayed in the mountains for five full days and started on the sixth day. Going back, something happened on the first night Tie Hong arrived home.

After dinner in the evening, the family went to bed early. In the middle of the night, the sheep in the yard made a bleating sound, which made the tired Tie Honggang wake up all of a sudden. His movement made Xiu'er beside him also wake up. He listened vaguely to the movement in the courtyard.

"Is he a thief?" Xiu'er asked.

"I don't know, I'll go take a look." After Tie Hong finished speaking, he put on his clothes and got off the kang. He picked up the wooden stick placed on the edge of the kang in the dark and quietly opened the door of the outer room. He heard a scream and the sound of someone falling to the ground. A touch.

"Xiu'er..." Tie Hong just shouted suddenly and heard the sound of fighting outside.

As soon as Tie Hong opened the door of the outer room, there was a sound of wind hitting his head, which alarmed Qianshan's vigilance and made him fall backwards. The wooden stick in his hand was thrust out at once, and the force of inertia , pierced into the face of the person who rushed in, and Tie Honggang also fell to the ground.

The moment he fell to the ground, he shouted Xiu'er, wanting to remind her that bad guys were coming and to leave immediately. Before he could finish speaking, another person rushed in and the two started fighting.

In the darkness, I heard banging, banging and breaking of things in the kitchen. As Tie Honggang screamed, the sound disappeared and the whole world fell silent.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xiu'er roared, rushed out with scissors, and was knocked down by a wooden stick.

"Xiao Gang, what's wrong with you over there?" At this time, Mrs. Jin's shout came from outside.

There was chaos in the room, the door was opened, and the two people quickly rushed out of the room and disappeared into the darkness.

"Come here, help me, come here, help me." The ear-piercing, modulated scream broke the quiet night. Villagers from the entire small mountain village who heard the sound rushed over in their clothes.

Tie Honggang and Xiu'er were lying in the kitchen covered in blood and no longer breathing.

"Organize people to find the perpetrators, call them quickly and arrest them." Brother Wang's eyes turned red and he shouted loudly.

A group of rough guys shouted and went home to get the tools they had. Everyone had anger on their faces. Such a murder case had not been found in this small mountain village for many years.

The men who came out carried torches and gathered in small groups, surrounding the small village and began to search for the murderer who had broken into the village. They kept trying until daylight came out, but no murderer was found.

Brother Wang went behind Tie Honggang's house and found the footprints of two people escaping at the foot of the mountain. Knowing that the murderer had entered the mountain, he immediately returned to the village to discuss with the second grandfather.

The back mountain is a vast mountain, and the locals may not come out even if they go in. They still have time to search and avenge the deaths of Xiu'er and Tie Honggang.

The group of people returned to the village and told the situation to the second grandfather. The second grandfather handed the shotgun to Brother Wang. The group of people rushed to the back mountain and followed the trail. They climbed over two mountains and reached an unknown road. The big river blocked everyone's way.

The traces of the murderer also disappeared along the river. The river was fast-flowing, more than thirty meters wide, and unknown how deep it was. Everyone lost confidence in pursuing him any further.

After standing by the river for more than half an hour, a group of rough men turned around and walked back in despair. Everyone was exhausted from the pursuit. They had walked over mountains and ridges for at least dozens of miles, and they were tired and hungry.

Just over an hour after they left, at the corner of the bank, two wretched men with cold faces and murderous looks cautiously probed their heads and discovered that the villagers had already left. Then they climbed up the river bank. Two people were swimming in the icy water. After soaking in it for nearly two hours, my lips were already turning purple.

After returning to the village, the villagers began to get busy. After the bodies of the two people were parked for three days, they were buried in the back mountain by the villagers.

Little Tieniu was brought home by Jin's sister-in-law, and Jin Lan and Jin Zhu accompanied her every day. Without Xiu'er's company, little Tieniu began to feel a little uncomfortable. After more than ten days, the little guy accepted the reality and chatted with Jin Lan and Jin Zhu every day. ,game.

In two days, the New Year's Eve is coming. Every household in the small mountain village is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Each house has couplets pasted on it, and the good things they have saved are fried and fried, waiting to be enjoyed during the New Year.

Sister-in-law Jin made new clothes for Xiao Tieniu, Xiao Jinzhu, and Xiao Jinlan. The three little guys didn't know anything except Xiao Tieniu. Jinlan and Jin Zhumei's little faces turned red.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, the courtyard door of Tie Honggang's house was pushed open. Although the large courtyard was clean and tidy, it was clear at a glance that it was no longer popular.

"Are Xiaogang and Xiu'er at home?" As soon as Mr. Guo entered the door, he noticed something was wrong and shouted.

"Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo." Jin Zhu and Jin Lan heard the shouting and climbed up the separate courtyard wall to shout.

"Oh, your uncle and the others?" Mr. Guo felt something was wrong and asked quickly.

"I call mom, come to my house." After saying that, the two sisters jumped off the wall.

Mr. Guo slowly turned around, walked out of the courtyard, and went to the next door. He saw Sister-in-law Jin standing at the door, with red eyes and tears falling down. He felt a pinch in his heart, as if he was stabbed by a knife. He bent down and squatted on the ground. .

"Uncle, they left and were killed. The murderer was not found." After Jin's sister-in-law said this, she burst into tears. Jinlan Jinzhu stood beside her and grabbed the hem of Jin's clothes at a loss. Tears fell down.

"Well, I understand." Mr. Guo stood up, walked into the house, and saw the little Tieniu on the earthen bed. His tears stayed again. The little Tieniu saw Mr. Guo, babbling and shouting, stretching out his arms. tiny hand.

Mr. Guo picked up the little Tieniu and pressed his cheek against the child. His shoulders kept shaking and his back was straight. Big drops of hot tears burst out. His originally fresh and determined face made people afraid to look directly at him.

For more than half an hour, Mr. Guo sat on a stool outside, listening to Mrs. Jin telling him the whole story. Mr. Guo kept asking for details, and then stood up and returned to Tie Honggang's yard. .

After looking inside and out several times, I finally lowered my body, collected several different blood stains that had invaded the soil on the ground, and put them into several small bottles.

Standing quietly in the main room without moving, Mr. Guo's eyes were actually filled with tears as he silently remembered this young and lovely couple.

"Uncle, it's time to eat." I don't know how long it had passed before Sister-in-law Jin's voice woke up Mr. Guo who was remembering him deeply.

The two people were not talking. They went back to the next door and ate the simple meal tastelessly. After the meal, Mr. Guo and Mrs. Jin chatted in the room for a long time, and then Mr. Guo left.

On New Year's Eve, every family was beaming with joy. Children wearing new clothes carried paper lanterns and ran wildly in the East and West homes, followed by a few children with runny noses, shouting and shouting. .

The adults were in groups of three or five, the Zhang family and the Li family complimenting each other. The team bought a dozen kicks collectively and put them in the open space, and the children cheered.

Each family shared white noodles with meat fillings, a pitifully small piece of meat, but there were a lot of vegetables, including cabbage, radish, and sauerkraut as auxiliary ingredients.

This year has passed like this, and it is pretty good. In other places outside the mountains, there are still many people who have not even touched the flesh star. They have just survived the hard days, and it is a good thing not to starve to death.

Sister-in-law Jin’s family has added a little iron ox, and the two sheep were naturally brought over. There is also a badger pig, which has already given birth to a litter. The little badger pig is already as big as an adult’s fist. It curls up next to the big badger pig every day. I got the toy that Jinzhu and Jinlan used to tease Little Tieniu.

Brother Wang sent another hare to Sister-in-law Jin, which was paired with his own and kept in a cage made of solid wood. The cage was made by Tie Honggang and was very strong.

Tie Honggang and Xiu'er had prepared a lot of hay for the winter before their death, which was enough for two sheep and rabbits to eat during the winter, which saved Jin'er a lot of trouble.

Little Tieniu still drinks fresh goat's milk every day, and Jin's sister-in-law cooks the rest. The quality of life of Jinlan and Jinzhu has also changed a lot with Little Tieniu.

The days passed quickly, and the sowing season was about to begin. Little Tieniu grew up quickly and was able to cook by himself. He was also extremely excited about the meals cooked by Sister-in-law Jin. Every time the family had a meal, Little Tieniu always waves his little hands to fight for a bowl.

The second grandfather had already reported the incident to the village after the death of Tie Honggang and his wife. The leaders paid great attention to it, but no news had been received. It was like a stone sinking into the sea.

During this period, Mr. Guo came back once, bringing a bag of rice and several meters of cotton cloth. He stayed for a few hours and then disappeared again. Every time he came back, he was very mysterious. Sister-in-law Jin never asked. Sister-in-law Jin knew who Mr. Guo was. A man of great power.

Four months later, Mr. Guo came back again with things. This time, he stayed with Xiao Tieniu and his two children, Jinlan and Jinzhu, every day.

The yard of Tie Honggang's house is alive again. Little Tieniu can already stand up and walk while holding on to the wall. For a child whose first birthday is a bit early, it is conceivable that drinking fresh milk every day will definitely make his body and bones better than Children from poor families.

Mr. Guo taught the two sisters Jinlan and Jinzhu knowledge every day. He also taught the two children to stand in the open space, stretch their hands forward, spread their legs, and squat slightly. They practiced for several months. The two little girls also have tenacity, which impressed Guo Sir likes it.

Whenever the two little girls stood in the open space, they could hear the sound of slapping coming from the room. Little Tieniu enjoyed the slaps on her body every day and hummed in comfort.

He didn’t know why, but he felt uncomfortable without being spanked every day. At first, the two little girls were a little strange, thinking that Grandpa Guo was beating and treating the little Tieniu badly, but they saw the enjoyment of the little Tieniu when he was spanked. So very confused.

The air in the small mountain village is very fresh. After finishing his homework every day, Mr. Guo took out a reclining chair made of rattan and sat at the door, watching Xiao Jinzhu and Xiao Jinlan squatting on horseback, and doing a few times from time to time.

During this period of time, the two children seemed very energetic. They changed from their usual dazed look. Sister-in-law Jin noticed it and did not complain about Mr. Guo's torture of the children. She came back from work every day and brought cooked meals to them. Everyone eats together.

The little Taurus can already shout out several words in a row, such as sister, grandpa, aunt, pee, poop, etc., and can also trot for more than ten steps, twisting and turning, making everyone laugh every time. However, the little guy always enjoys it and falls down. Get up and run again, fall down and get up again.

Every time Jin Zhu and Jin Lan squatted on the horse, Little Tieniu followed suit and posed next to them. Over time, they seemed to be obsessed with this activity. They stood longer and longer, and the two little girls stopped tiredly. At that time, Xiao Tieniu was still standing with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

By this time, Mr. Guo's face was filled with relief.
