Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

Qiao Jiwei hoeed the ground and came back from the hillside.Walking on the muddy road melted by snow, I happened to pass by Cuihua Niang.

Qiao Jiwei said hello first, "Auntie, let's go to work."

Cuihua Niang said: "No, go to Ma'er's house in the neighboring village. Seeing you come back with a hoe, have you been exhausted for the past two days?"

Qiao Jiwei smiled and said, "I won't feel tired after doing it."

"That's right, Da Yong is not at home, these jobs are naturally yours, Da Yong has been away for several days without realizing it, I heard that the handsome man who lived in Yuan Qi's house today also left?"

Qiao Jiwei thought that this Cuihua lady was really inquisitive and wanted to know everything, but he replied politely to Cuihua lady, "Yes, when I went to hoe in the morning, I saw him walking on the ground with luggage. in the village."

"These two men are at home all day long, and what they do is really not human. How can a man be..." Speaking of this, Cuihua Niang deliberately lowered her voice, but no one passed by, "This man is really sneaky." , last autumn he often inquired about the incident 20 years ago, which is strange."

Qiao Jiwei frowned slightly, thinking that Cuihua Niang was too judgmental on weekdays.But now she only said half a word, Qiao Jiwei's curiosity was raised, "What's so strange?"

Cuihua Niang casually said: "What else can you do? Your aunt can't give birth to a child, and she once thought of borrowing a seed from Cuihua's father. Hmph, what the hell, I was scolded by me in front of the whole village. Pause. It didn't stop, and another child was picked up from outside the village to be raised, and the child was wrapped in a bright yellow cloth..."

The more Qiao Jiwei listened, the more he felt that this matter was no small matter. He interrupted Cuihua Niang, "You mean, Brother Dayong picked it up?"

Cuihua Niang casually said, "Yes, you don't know?"

Qiao Jiwei nodded.

Cuihuaniang's complexion changed, and she felt that she had said something wrong. "I, I didn't say anything." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, bypassed Qiao Jiwei, and hurried forward.

Qiao Jiwei's mind was no longer calm, his brother Dayong was not Qian's mother's biological son.He suddenly felt that this matter was very strange. Huang Yuntian was not related to anyone in the village, and the reason why he came here must have something to do with Qian Dayong's background.Could it be that Qian Dayong's biological parents were Huang Yuntian's enemies?Huang Yuntian came here for revenge.But think about it carefully: If Huang Yuntian had bad intentions from the beginning, why didn't he just kill Qian Dayong?Qiao Jiwei had no idea what to do when he thought about it.

In the past few days, the wind has stopped in spring and the temperature has gradually warmed up.The potatoes on the kang also germinated. Qiao Jiwei was very concerned about this batch of potatoes, and went to the kang several times a day to check the germination of the potatoes.

One day on the [-]th of February, he was walking to the land with a hoe on his shoulders.Potatoes will be planted in a few days, and Qiao Jiwei has to lay out the ridges in the land first.Just met Yuan Qi on the road.I saw Yuan Qi pushing the cart to and fro, and the fish tofu on the cart was shattered to the point of mud, and covered with a lot of sand, obviously it couldn't be sold.

Qiao Jiwei was surprised to see Yuan Qi's fish tofu look so rotten, "What's wrong with you?" He wondered if someone in the neighboring village was jealous and sabotaged it on purpose.

Yuan Qi stopped the car, wiped his face, and cried, "Don't mention it, my fish tofu cart was overturned by Xue Hu." After speaking, his eyes were already a little moist.

Xue Hu is a well-known bully in ten miles and eight villages. Qiao Jiwei thought that Yuan Qi's mouth may be cheap, and he accidentally said something cursing Xue Hu, "We ordinary people don't cause trouble, why would he overturn your car for no reason?"

Yuan Qi snorted, "Xue Hu, a son of a bitch, covets the girl Xiang'er from the neighboring village. But that girl Xiang'er has already fallen in love with her, and Xiang'er's parents don't agree to marry Xiang'er to that bully. Then The bully went to his house every day to harass him. This is not today, he went again, and met me and said he wanted to buy my fish tofu to honor his "father-in-law". After scolding him a few words, he overturned my fish tofu cart. This dog jumps over the wall if he can’t marry a wife. Does he know how hard it is to make the fish tofu I worked so hard last night? ? My hands are numb from frying these fish tofu." As he spoke, he burst into tears, "If Yun Tian was here, I would definitely beat him down and ask him to give me an apology."

Qiao Jiwei comforted him, took out a piece of jute paper from his pocket and handed it to Yuan Qi, "Okay, okay, he's a man in his 30s. You can't provoke him in the future, so you can hide him. If Huang When Yun Tian comes back, he will definitely help you out."

In the next few days, Qiao Jiwei often heard about this incident in the neighboring village.The village women talked about this matter all day long, and when they heard about new trends, the village woman would tell others under the sun.So although Qiao Jiwei didn't make a special trip from the neighboring village, he heard the whole thing in a strange way, which was indeed due to gossip (gossip).

This day, the three members of the Qian family were eating spinach, tofu and lean meat porridge in the main room, because Qian's mother was not in charge of the spoon these days, and Fei Cui was cooking in the pot room.Mother Qian saw that she was cooking in a variety of ways, and she often said that she had a crooked mind and cooking indiscriminately, which almost turned the kitchen upside down.

Qiao Jiwei only heard a commotion outside, followed by a knock on the door.

Mother Qian ordered Fei Cui, "Go and open the door."

Before Fei Cui got up, the door was knocked open, and there were seven or eight women and men of different ages standing outside.

Qiao Jiwei stood up, took a step forward, and blocked the door, protecting Mother Qian and Jadeite inside.The words that came out were strong, and the voice was cold, "What are you doing here?"

I saw those seven or eight people plopping and kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Qiao Jiwei together.The leading woman said, "You can save our family Xiang'er, she was kidnapped by that bully Xue Hu this morning."

Among these people was a young man who was about the same age as Qian Dayong, crying in a hoarse voice, "It's all because I'm useless, I can't protect her." He was probably Xiang'er's best friend.

It was probably because people from ten miles and eight villages spoke so badly about Qiao Jiwei that this family was in a hurry and went to the doctor to find Qian's family.To be honest, Qiao Jiwei didn't want to get into this muddy water in his heart. He was a seller and didn't have much power. His thin arms would definitely not be able to twist his thighs.Qiao Jiwei himself is not without sympathy, but Qian Dayong is not around, and Qiao Jiwei also lacks the confidence to save Xiang'er.If asking them for help puts him in danger, Qiao Jiwei would rather not have this kind of sympathy.

Qiao Jiwei's words were very polite, but his tone did not contain any intense emotions, showing a sense of alienation. "I can't help you with your affairs."

After Qiao Jiwei wanted to refuse, this group of people would leave on their own after their hopes were vain, but this group of people still begged bitterly.

"The people in these ten miles and eight villages can do something. If you can't save them, who can?"

"Yes, you can pity us."

Seeing so many people gathered in her home, Qian's mother was very annoyed. She was not as polite as Qiao Jiwei, so she picked up a broom and drove Xiang'er's family out when she came up.But there were too many of these people. Mother Qian ignored one and drove one out, while the other "crawled" in.Qiao Jiwei was standing in the courtyard, but he was also secretly supporting Mother Qian.But one old, one young, was no match for eight people. In the end, the shouts of Xiang'er's family attracted the whole village.

These villagers were pointing outside Qian's house, and their sympathy for Xiang'er's family was revealed in their words.

Emerald couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Qiao Jiwei: "Master, just help them."

Until now, Qiao Jiwei was a little bit hard to get off. He really had nothing to do with Xue Hu now.

Qiao Jiwei walked up to the patriarch and begged, "Look at these people, they are crying so hard. Can you find some people to get these seven or eight people away."

"This group of people is indeed a little mean-spirited," the patriarch said according to Qiao Jiwei's words, "but think about it, Xue Hu is more hateful. I heard that Xue Hu has some connections with people from all over the world. It's not good to make trouble, Xiang'er But I don’t know where it was sold.”

"What did you say?" Qiao Jiwei suddenly said loudly, "Xue Hu has something to do with Ren Yazi?"

The patriarch nodded.

At this point, Qiao Jiwei had to take care of it.Because of the misery along the way, Qiao Jiwei hated his teeth as soon as he heard the word "Ren Yazi". The scenes of being beaten are still vivid in his memory, and he almost lost his virginity at that time.

He pulled Xiang'er's family up, "Okay, I'll take care of your affairs today."

As soon as Qiao Jiwei finished speaking, the whole village burst into cheers.Xiang'er's family knelt down again.

While there was no one around, Qiao Jiwei asked Xiang'er's father, "Who told you that I could save Xiang'er?"

"There is a man named Changgui in your village."

Upon hearing the name, Qiao Jiwei sneered.This person has caused trouble for Qiao Jiwei twice.It can be said that it took great pains to not target Qiao Jiwei blatantly, but to stumble secretly.But Qiao Jiwei didn't take him seriously either. Judging from Chang Gui's actions these two times, he could only be agitated, but in the end he could only be a coward, and he didn't have the ability to frame others, so it was nothing to worry about.

But how to deal with Xue Hu?Qiao Jiwei was troubled by this.According to Qiao Jiwei's many inquiries, this person is also related to the county magistrate, presumably this is the capital for his rampage in the countryside.

This afternoon, Zhao Ji came to Qian's house again, walked straight to Qiao Jiwei's bedroom, and said with a blank smile to him, "Can you lend me some more silver?"

Qiao Jiwei frowned, thought about it, and came up with an idea, "Do you know Xue Hu in this city?"

Zhao Ji had doubts in his eyes, "What are you asking about him? Our relationship is very close."

Qiao Jiwei looked directly at him, "Do you know that he robs women from good families?"

Zhao Ji shook his head, "I don't know."

After several contacts, Qiao Jiwei also knew that Zhao Ji was sincere and didn't seem to be lying. "He did rob people's daughters."

"Ah," Zhao Ji was shocked, "I didn't expect him to ignore Wang Fa like this."

Qiao Jiwei took out a few taels of silver and held it in his hand, shaking it in front of Zhao Ji, "Hold him for a few days, this silver is yours."

Zhao Ji has been obsessed with gambling, so he readily agreed. "good."

After making an appointment with Qiao Jiwei, Zhao Ji hurried out of Qian's house and looked for Xue Hu in the county town.
