Crossing the green wheat ears

The Ximing Wu family, the old man and the two brothers are discussing a solution, and they have already thought of what the old lady can think of.

"Yuzhen's mother-in-law's house is close to Dongshanli. I think someone can communicate with Huzi, otherwise, there is no way to sell him to Huzi." The old man analyzed.

Yuzhen's natal family, that is, the old lady's natal family, is [-] miles east of Lianhua Village, and Yuzhen's husband's family is more than a dozen miles east of her natal home, which is very close to Dongshanli, which is Yema Mountain.

The few beards who broke into the Xijia the winter before last belonged to Yema Mountain. The terrain in the mountain is complex, and thieves will choose Yema Mountain, so there are not only a bunch of bandits gathered there, they each have their own territory, and they usually strictly abide by the road. rules.

"Father, what should we do about this? The beard won't touch our family, will it?" Xi Mingwen was a little anxious. Their family had just had a good life, and he hadn't had enough, so he didn't want to bring trouble to the family.

"Oh, poor girl Yuzhen, why did she get involved in this matter!" The old man sighed. In fact, he wanted to say, why did his family get involved in this matter!And I can't drive these two girls away, because my conscience can't bear it.

Last night Yuzhen went to Lianhua Village in the middle of the night. She didn't know that Xi's house had built a new house, but she remembered the location of Xi's old house, so she went to Ximing Wu's house to call the door.

When she yelled, the Maodoujiao and Huzi on the side of the yard were more vigilant, and they started barking. The family members had formed a habit of thinking that as long as the Maodoujiao made a sound, something must be wrong!

The old man and Xi Mingwen got up immediately, and listened for a while before leaving the room.In the east courtyard, Xi Mingwu had already welcomed Yuzhen into the house. He didn't want to disturb his parents in the middle of the night. The old man was old and couldn't help being frightened, but he didn't hide it when he saw the old man and elder brother coming.

Yuzhen's hands and feet were numb from the cold, and she was sleeping soundly inside because she was wrapped in an old sheepskin jacket.

Xi Mingwu and his wife didn't let Yuzhen go directly to the kang, and the frozen people can't directly touch the heat, otherwise the hands and feet will not be able to relax.

The second aunt did something neat, went out to the yard, picked up snow with a dustpan, came back and took off Yuzhen's shoes and socks, and rubbed her hands and feet with the snow.

Xi Mingwu went to the barn again, and brought back half a bag of frozen soybeans. When Yuzhen's hands and feet were almost rubbed together, he asked her to insert her feet and hands into the soybeans. Holding on, even so, Yuzhen's hands and feet are still frostbitten, and it may take a few years to recover.

I have frostbite on my body, and it will flare up in winter. Sometimes it is so itchy that I can't help scratching it with my hands, and often scratches and bleeds, which is very painful.

But at least Yuzhen's hands and feet were preserved, and she didn't freeze her fingers and toes. This is already very lucky. You must know that although the Spring Festival has passed and the weather is not as cold as ever, the temperature at night is also very low. After all, there is no winter yet. In the past.

The old man and Xi Mingwen saw that Yuzhen was fine, and it was too late at night to talk, so they settled Yuzhen in Ximing Wu's house, and then returned to the west courtyard with their eldest son.

The old lady and Mrs. Xiyuan also woke up, and asked the father and son what was the matter. The father and mother were afraid that the mother and the mother would be scared, so they only said that it was the donkey of Ximing Wu's family - the horns were not tied, and they ran out through the gate of the courtyard. Doujiao and Huzi only called it, and it's all right now.

The old lady and Niang Xiyuan didn't think too much about it, and went to sleep thinking that there was nothing to do. They didn't tell the truth until they got up in the morning. After a long time, she asked Xiyuan's mother to go to the east courtyard to pick up Yuzhen's mother and son.

After learning about what happened, the father and son of the Xi family were also very disturbed. They are all honest farmers, and all they have seen in their life is such things as firewood, rice, oil and salt, so now they are a little at a loss and don't know what to do.

"Call Xiaoyuan over to discuss it, this kid has more ideas than us." Xi Mingwu suggested.After all, his eldest nephew can read and write, and he often goes to Jude Building. The matter with Wei's second son that year was taken care of by Xiyuan. This kid is more knowledgeable than them.

"Okay, I'll let Yang Yang call." The second aunt was also listening, she didn't interrupt, the men didn't know what to do, she was a woman, and she had no idea.

The second aunt is a little bit complaining about Yuzhen now, isn't this just looking for trouble for the Xi family, and blinding the old lady's good intentions for nothing, but from Yuzhen's point of view, she really sympathizes and pities her. Frozen and starved to death, even if he was caught by the beard, it would not end well.

Xiyuanlai is here, but he has no idea. He has seen many personnel disputes in his previous life, but there is no drama like this!

"Why don't you bring Uncle Cheng here?" Xi Yuan thought for a long time, now Cheng Yi is half of Wei Cheng and Xi Wei's masters, and he is also Cheng Nan's enlightenment teacher, so Cheng Yi will not frame the Xi family, The key is that Cheng Yi is the only man in the village who is knowledgeable and responsible.

"Cheng Yi knows..." Grandpa struggled a little, he was afraid that things would leak out.

"Cheng Yi is fine. He is a man who has experienced things and is loyal. He knows what to say and what not to say." Xi Mingwu weighed and agreed with Xiyuan's proposal.

"Then let's find Cheng Yi to discuss it." The old man knocked on the cigarette pot, feeling worried.

At this time, after the old lady comforted Yuzhen and his wife, she came to the east courtyard. The second aunt looked at her mother-in-law, and couldn't help being afraid and wronged in her heart. went back.

The old lady felt uncomfortable, patted the second daughter-in-law's hand, sat on the kang, and listened to the men discussing how to solve the matter.

Cheng Yi came very quickly, and after listening to the Xi family's story, Cheng Yi pondered for a while, and then raised his opinion.

First of all, I have to ask Yuzhen how much money his man took from Huzi. If Huzi saw that the man ran away, he would not be held accountable if he gave them the money...

Cheng Yi looked at the Xi's family, and he could guess that the number was indispensable without asking.

"It's okay, Uncle Cheng. It would be the best if you can settle it with money. You can earn money anytime." Xi Yuan said.

"Oh, that's true!" Both grandma and second aunt sighed. They are people who live their lives carefully and never spend money recklessly. How would you know...

"I also think this is the best way. I'm afraid that people don't want money as long as they want people." Cheng Yi also said, "I think it's not enough to just be afraid at home. Why don't we go to Yuzhen's mother-in-law's house to check it out?" Scanning, it would be better if you can settle the matter by the way. Huzi probably won't be looking for people everywhere in broad daylight, after all, there is still the government."

"Don't go, her house is close to Dongshanli. If you go, don't ask Hu Zi to arrest you." The old lady held Xi Mingwu tightly, and the second child was more courageous than his elder brother. If he wanted to go, he would definitely be the old man. Two, he can't bear to part with either.

"It's okay, mother, I just went to scan and listen, and they don't know me, and they don't know how to arrest people because of beards, right? Besides, there is no such thing as a coincidence." Xi Mingwu comforted the old lady, brother To be honest, it's up to him to do this.

"Let's go with my second brother. I don't worry if you go alone." Xi Mingwen didn't want his second brother to take risks alone. If something happened, he would regret it to death in the future.

"No, you'd better take care of it at home, even if there is no man in the family." Xi Mingwu was worried about the family. If he and his elder brother all went, the old and the young in the family would have such a thing in sight before.

"Let's go with Mingwu." Cheng Yi stood up. He felt that it would make no difference whether Xi Mingwen went or not. Do it." Cheng Yi said and walked out, he had to go home and settle down.

"Cheng Yi..." The Xi family were all surprised, they didn't expect Cheng Yi to be so righteous, this is a troublesome matter.

"It's okay, it's not as scary as you think. Wait for the letter from Mingwu and me. I guess we'll be back tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. If we haven't come back after three days, maybe there's something wrong, you guys go again people." Cheng Yi did not forget to explain before leaving.

The old lady went back and asked Yuzhen the exact location of her home in the village, and asked how much Yuzhen was sold by the man.

Yuzhen cried as soon as she heard it. She still caused trouble for the Xi family, and she couldn't lift her head in shame. 15 taels.

Xi Mingwu and Cheng Yi didn't delay at all, they set off right away, and before leaving, Xiyuan took 50 taels of silver for them to take with them. If the matter can be solved with money, Xiyuan doesn't mind spending much, as long as the family is fine.

As soon as Xi Mingwu and Cheng Yi left, the hearts of the Xi family were raised, even Xi Yuan, the only comfort was that Cheng Yi followed, which made the Xi family feel uneasy and at the same time feel more at ease.

On the first day, as soon as it got dark, the Xi family turned off the lights and went to bed early. The children didn't know that the adults were troubled and were still playing around when they had nothing to do.

Originally, Niang Xiyuan wanted to go to Cheng Yi's house to see if there was anything she could do to help with the work, but the old man stopped her. For women like them who have never seen the world, it's okay to hide it from children, but it's not good to hide it from adults. It was impossible for Yi to tell his daughter-in-law the truth when he left. He only said that he would go out with Xi Mingwu to do some errands and come back in two or three days. At that time, they will not be the only ones who are worried all day long.

"Cheng Yi is really nothing to say." The old man sighed.

Except for Xiyuanjiao Cheng Nan, Cheng Yi and Xi Mingwu have a better relationship, and there is no other substantial kindness with him. However, Cheng Yi stood up for their Xijia without saying a word. You know, he But it's also a family with a wife and children.

"Yeah, we can't forget such a great kindness in the future." The old lady sighed, saying that the ups and downs have passed through her old age, and she only hopes that things will pass quickly and the family will return to the way it was before. It's better to live a tighter life than this.

The next day, the Xi family knew the inside story, and they were all right. They left the hospital and looked east for a while, and then the old man saw that this was nothing wrong with his family, so he quietly moved the sledge he usually used to pull firewood ash. If it is broken, it will be dragged to the courtyard gate to be repaired, so that it can be used as a cover to deceive people.

In the evening of the next day, Xi Mingwu and Cheng Yi hadn't come back until it was time to light the lanterns. The second aunt couldn't bear it anymore, fearing that crying in front of the old man would make the old man sad, so she went to the east courtyard and cried in the dark before living again. Xi Mingwu was not at home when she came to the west courtyard, and the old lady would not let her sleep at home alone.

That night, all the adults in the family tossed and turned, and the next day one of them had dark circles under his eyes.

On the third day, after waiting for a whole day, the figure of the two people was still not there. The old lady couldn't stand it anymore, so she fell onto the kang at that time, and Xi Yuan sat beside her and comforted her tightly.

But no matter how much he comforted him, he couldn't change the fact that the two of them didn't come back. If there was anything bad about it, not only his own family, but also the Cheng family would be affected.During the day, Cheng Nan was playing with Wei Cheng and the others in the yard. If something happened to Cheng Yi, how could he explain to his wife and children in the future!

Looking at the situation in the Xi family, Yuzhen didn't say anything, she felt guilty, she was taking care of herself and her children at that time, she didn't think so much, now she regrets it very much.

There was a row of fire bubbles on Yuzhen's mouth, but she didn't say sorry again, she just silently helped Niang Xiyuan with the housework, and at the same time considered whether she should leave, but Ximingwu hasn't come back yet, she can't do this and left.

On the fourth day, Xi Mingwen got up just after dawn. He couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go and see everything he said. Xi Yuan and his grandfather couldn't persuade him no matter what.

In the end, Xiyuan had no choice but to put on a cotton coat and follow him. He didn't know what would happen, and he couldn't let his father take risks alone.

The old man said that he didn't let Xiyuan go, he went with him, the old man's meaning was very clear, he is so old, it doesn't matter if he lives a few more years or a few years less, if something happens to his two sons, the family will have to Xiyuan insisted that he couldn't let the eldest grandson have another accident, otherwise, the family's sky would really collapse.

Looking at the back of his grandfather and father going away, Xiyuan was full of anxiety.
