My Favorite Manly Husband

Chapter 38 Whose Duck Quack Quack

The boy's eyes were red, his fists were clenched tightly, and he seemed very angry.

"I counted last night, a total of 180 four ducks, but when I drove the ducks into the duck house just now, I counted only 170!" There is no time to count..."

When he found that there were few ducks, he immediately went to check the nets, but the fishing nets surrounded the rice fields well, and the ducks could not run away without any gaps!And he stayed there all day today, and he didn't see anyone coming. It must have been stolen last night!

Reaching out to pat Zhou Yu's shoulder, Shen Yanbei comforted, "It's not your fault, the other party will steal ducks no matter whether you count them or not."

"But..." Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, "It would be nice if I watched it there at night..."

Shen Yanbei laughed: "How can people live in the fields?" The folk customs in this era are simple, but there are many people who steal chickens and dogs. It is indeed risky to raise ducks in the fields, but he never thought that his ducks would be killed by people before they were raised. stole.

Everyone in the village knows it's his field and his ducks...

Who stole his duck?

"That's fourteen ducks..." Zhou Yu blamed himself and felt distressed.When Shen Yanbei wanted to raise ducks, he was so happy!Take the initiative to open your mouth and take the job down.

How cute are those little fluffy things!He drove them to the field every day, watched them play and peck in the water, and he stood aside and practiced some simple moves, or took the sand table Shen Yanbei made for him to practice calligraphy or Do some manual work, the little friends in the village can envy him!

Now he's screwed up and had the duck stolen...

Still fourteen ducks!They all have white feathers, and soon they will be big ducks!

Seeing his brooding, Shen Yanbei said sternly: "Zhou Yu, Changfeng taught you martial arts, I didn't teach you how to read and write, so that you can let the ducks go."

Zhou Yu looked at him blankly, and Shen Yanbei said warmly: "I just asked you to help watch it for the time being, and someone will take over the job in the future. Now that the duck is lost, it may not be found. The most important thing right now is to prevent it from being caught by someone next time." Steal!" He could understand the young man's thinking, but he just felt sorry for not working after receiving the monthly payment.I finally found something to do, but I felt guilty and uneasy when I didn't do it well.

"My husband is right," Gu Changfeng said in a deep voice, "The most important thing is to catch that thief."

There are two things in this kind of thing. As long as they don't say anything, the thief will definitely come again.

"I know Master!" Zhou Yi cheered up, but the fists beside him clenched even tighter.

The thief who stole his duck, he will never let him go!

"Okay, Zhou Yi, you go back first, we will take care of this matter, don't worry." Shen Yanbei comforted.

"Yes, son."

Zhou Yu nodded, and when he went out, he happened to meet Su Qingze who was coming for dinner.

Seeing the young man's stinky face, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with him?"

"Someone stole more than a dozen ducks in the field, and I feel very sorry." Shen Yanbei called people over for dinner.

"Master Xiucai dares to steal ducks? This thief is quite fat!" Su Qingze frowned.He lived here for several days, and most of the villagers are fine.

"It's better to be stolen now than to be stolen later when you grow up."

"Then what should we do?" Su Qingze looked helplessly at the empty dining table, full of anticipation for the dinner.

What I ate last night was a serving of red rice with a little steamed fish, fried eggs with dried radish, and patted cucumber. It looked a little bland, but the taste was quite good. It made him who is used to big fish and big meat taste delicious What a different experience!

"Catch the thief first, and then raise two dogs to watch the ducks." The weight loss meals he prepared for Su Qingze were all carefully thought out.In the original world, some people who wanted to lose weight as soon as possible, adopted quick-acting weight-loss methods, and could lose several catties a week, but it did too much damage to the body.For the sake of Su Qingze's health, he didn't dare to push people too hard all at once, but after observing his appetite and understanding his eating habits, he adopted a cyclical and gradual method to adjust his eating habits first and control his appetite , and then proceed to the next step of exercise.

Su Qingze's eyes lit up: "How to catch?"

Shen Yanbei didn't answer, and helped Gu Changfeng put the cooked food on the table.

"What is this?" Su Qingze looked curiously at the blackened and yellowed bamboo tubes, and moved his nose.

He seems to smell a very fragrant smell...

"Bamboo rice."

According to what Shen Yanbei said, Gu Changfeng split the bamboo joint with a knife, and then opened the bamboo tube, revealing the plump and crystal clear rice.

Su Qingze's eyes widened and he couldn't help sniffling. "Smells good!"

"This is yours." Shen Yanbei pushed a bamboo tube rice with fungus eggs over.

Su Qingze looked down at his own and then at Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng's. Everyone's food was different, but they all looked delicious!

Picking up the chopsticks, Su Qingze was not polite and directly picked them into his mouth.The hot rice has a distinctive fragrance, mixed with the aroma of egg, fungus and chicken breast, which makes people unable to stop eating!

"Delicious!" Su Qingze fried vegetables with chopsticks, eating to his satisfaction.

Ming An held his own portion and ate carefully.

There is bacon in his rice, the young master must not let him know!

After the meal, after telling Su Qingze to walk around to digest food, Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng went to the field to check the duck house.

Unlike houses, which are solidly built with bricks, the duck house is built with bamboo. Even if it is locked, the bamboo pieces can be pried open to steal ducks.

"Daughter-in-law will have to work hard for you at night." No one guards at night, no matter how strong the duck coop is built, it will still be attacked by thieves if people stare at it.Now the only way is to take the stolen goods and kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys.

It was night, and Gu Changfeng was squatting near the duck house.

Perhaps it was because the thief had just stolen the duck, and the thief was vigilant, and did not steal again that night.

On the second night when Gu Changfeng squatted, the thieves did not come.On the third night of squatting, the thief still did not come.

Shen Yanbei's complexion was not very good, and he was even a little crazy.

Your uncle is not here yet!It made the father and daughter-in-law unable to sleep well, and also caused the father to stay alone in the empty room and sleepless!

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Gu Changfeng said seriously.

It's just a vigil, it's nothing to him, just... he can't help but miss the temperature beside him.

Finally, on the fourth night, a black shadow appeared beside the field ridge.Gu Changfeng immediately held back his breath and hid in the dark.

The thin man looked around with a sneaky expression. He hid at the edge of the field for a while and found no one around the duck house before letting go to steal the ducks.

Under the bright moonlight, Gu Changfeng could clearly see the thief's appearance.

A young man in his twenties, with a thin face, pockmarked face, and frivolous eyes, looks like a rascal.

The young man brought a cloth bag with him, pried open the bamboo piece, stretched out his hand, grabbed the duck and pulled it out.

"Quack!" The frightened duck flapped its wings and screamed.The young man didn't change his face, he grabbed the duck and stuffed it into the cloth bag.

Gu Changfeng frowned, wanting to stop the young man, but thinking of Shen Yanbei's explanation, he could only wait calmly.

The young man stopped after grabbing about a dozen ducks, shook the cloth bag, turned and left with a smug smile on his face.

Gu Changfeng followed him far behind.

The young man walked around in the paddy fields, and finally crossed the farmland boundary of Shenjia Village and entered Lijia Village!

No wonder it feels strange, this thief is actually from the Li family village!

After entering the village, the young man felt relieved and swaggered towards his home with the quacking duck on his back.It's a pity that he hadn't taken two steps when suddenly his vision went dark and he passed out.

When the young man woke up again, he found that he was lying on the intersection between Shenjia Village and Lijia Village to the county, surrounded by villagers from the two villages who were going to the county, and the young man was scared out of his wits.

"Hehe..." The young man laughed dryly and hurriedly got up, but the bag in his hand was loosened, and the ducks in it came out one after another!

"!!!" The blood on the young man's face faded, and the smile froze on his face.

"Li Masan? Where did you get so many ducks?" a villager from Lijia Village asked.

Young Li Masan was sweating coldly, terrified in his heart.

What a ghost!He obviously stole a dozen ducks last night, why did dozens of ducks come out of the cloth bag?

Also, isn't he about to go home?How come here?

Li Masan, who was belatedly aware of it, realized that his neck was in severe pain.

A villager in Shenjia Village who knew Li Masan smiled disdainfully: "There are so many ducks, I'm afraid it's not..."

Everyone understands the unfinished meaning of the words.This Li Masan is lazy and likes to do some sneaky things.

Li Masan swallowed with difficulty: "You...don't talk nonsense!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you say that you bought these ducks..." The villagers of Shenjia Village who spoke were taken aback for a moment, and asked, "You must have stolen our village, right?"

"You...you spout blood!" Li Masan was so guilty that he yelled loudly with his neck stuck.

Hearing this, the domineering Lijiacun villagers were not happy, and immediately shouted: "Your eye saw that he stole from your village? The name of your Shenjiacun is written on this duck?"

Seeing the villagers backing him up, Li Masan pushed him and said arrogantly, "I bought this duck! What's wrong!"

"Then why are you lying here?"

Li Masan poked his chest hard with his fingers: "I just like to lie here! What's wrong? This road belongs to your house?"

The villagers of Shenjia Village were pushed back a step.

"It's really a dog taking a mouse!" Li Masan snorted, turned around and caught the duck that ran out again.

Looking at those ducks, someone from Shenjia Village muttered, "Shen Xiucai seems to have raised a lot of ducks at home..."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the rest of Shenjia Village changed.The villager who spoke first stopped Li Masan, "You can't take this duck away without explaining where it came from!"

"Hey!" The young man lowered his face and stared at him fiercely, "Why should I tell you? Who are you? Get out of the way!"

The villagers of Shenjia Village did not move.

Seeing this, the villagers of Lijia Village stepped forward and surrounded the villagers of Shenjia Village: "You think you are the county magistrate? To get to the bottom of it, do I have to tell you what posture to use when going to the toilet?"

"Hahaha..." Everyone in the Li family village laughed and booed.

"He has no face to regard himself as the magistrate of the county, he regards himself as a dog!"

"No wonder! As the saying goes, dogs can't get rid of eating shit. Is your Shenjia Village addicted to eating?" The two villages have frictions from time to time, and they, Lijia Village, win the lawsuit every time!Shenjia Village, like a bereaved dog, always loves to die if he doesn't learn well!

Such wanton insults made everyone in Shenjiacun look ugly, and couldn't help but retort: ​​"The origin of Li Masan's duck is unknown at first sight, and you are still covering him up against your conscience! Is this how your Lijiacun works together?"

"Put your shit on!" The villagers of Lijia Village swung their fists.

The villagers of Shenjia Village were caught off guard by a punch, and their faces were instantly bruised.

Seeing that the villagers in their own village were being beaten, the villagers of Shenjia Village hurried forward to help, and the villagers of Lijia Village were not far behind, and immediately the villagers of the two villages scuffled into a ball.

At this time, a carriage slowly stopped beside it, and a young man dressed like a servant asked, "What are you doing here? Get out of the way of Mr. Juren!"

My lord!The eyes of the villagers in Lijia Village lit up, and Li Masan cried out immediately: "Please seek justice for the little one!"

Sitting in the carriage was Li Yi.Hearing this, Li Yi frowned and asked the servant to lift the curtain.

"what happened?"

Li Masan threw himself in front of the carriage with an extremely aggrieved expression: "These despicable and shameless villagers of Shenjia Village have falsely accused me of stealing! I also ask Master Juren to make the decision for me!"

"There is such a thing?" Li Yi got out of the carriage after hearing this.

The villagers of the two villages stopped fighting, and stood clearly.

Li Yi stood with his hands behind his back, glanced impatiently at the villagers of Shenjia Village, and said coldly: "Do you know that you will be punished for framing others?"

The Shenjiacun villager who confronted Li Masan just now said: "It is well known that Li Masan likes to steal chickens and dogs, and now he is lying in the middle of the road with a big bag of ducks. Ask him and he can't tell the origin of these ducks. Suspicious. It was because he was a child that he stopped him and asked a few more questions."

Li Yi glanced at Li Masan who was catching ducks, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he said to the villagers of Shenjia Village, "How dare you speak nonsense without evidence?"

"Apologize, or see you at the Yamen."

The faces of the villagers in Shenjia Village turned pale, and they dared not speak out.

"Did you hear that!" Li Masan stuffed the duck into the cloth bag, and walked up to him arrogantly, "Hurry up and make amends, or I'll take you to the court!"

The villagers in Lijia Village laughed triumphantly and urged: "Apologize quickly!"

"What happened?"

An anxious voice came from afar, and the villagers of Shenjia Village looked back, and it was the village chief and Shen Yanbei.It turned out that some villagers in Shenjia Village saw that the situation was not right and ran back to call for help!

The villagers of Shenjia Village were relieved to see the two men coming.When Li Masan saw Shen Yanbei, his eyes flickered, and he felt that the cloth bag in his hand was so heavy that he could barely lift it.

"I've met Li Juren." Shen Yanbei cupped his hands at Li Yi.

Li Yi looked at him arrogantly, and said sarcastically, "Shen Xiucai, you have to teach the people of Shenjia Village how to be polite, honest and shameful."

Shen Yanbei smiled slightly: "If it's true that the people of our Shenjia Village are not, I will make amends on their behalf." He asked the villagers to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

Li Yi raised his eyebrows: "Have you heard everything clearly? What else do you have to say?"

Shen Yanbei didn't reply, but said: "Just now, my school boy came to report to me that when we released the ducks, we found that there were fewer ducks. Brother Li, can you open the cloth bag and let me have a look?"

"I counted those ducks! Fourteen were missing a few days ago, and thirty were missing this morning!" Zhou Yu was full of anger, "I recognize my ducks! Open the bag!"

Hearing this, Li Yi's expression turned ugly.

Li Masan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Aren't all ducks the same, they are so beautiful!"

Zhou Yu glared at him: "Are you guilty of being a thief?"

Li Yi said coldly: "Open the cloth bag!"

"I got this duck from my mother-in-law. It just grew white hair..." Li Ma hesitated and refused to open it.

Zhou Yu grabbed it directly, Li Masan's expression changed drastically and he kicked it hastily.Zhou Yu dodged and dodged.The villagers of Shenjia Village on the side rushed to help him pour out the ducks in the cloth bag.

"Quack quack quack!" The freed duckling spread its fledgling wings and ran away.

"It's our duck!" Zhou Yu pointed to the red rope on the duck's feet, "I marked each duck with a red rope after the duck was stolen for the first time!"

"Nonsense, nonsense!" Li Masan shouted tremblingly, "My mother-in-law made this to distinguish her own ducks!"

Li Yi said expressionlessly: "Just because there is a red string tied to the foot doesn't mean it's your duck." People in rural areas will mark their chickens and ducks.

"That's right! Our chickens and ducks are also tied with red strings!" the villagers of Lijia Village chimed in.

"We lost [-] ducks, and there are also [-] ducks here!" Zhou Yu shouted angrily, and was almost pissed to death by the scoundrels of Lijiacun.

Li Masan's feet were a little soft, but his mouth was still stiff: "I...my mother-in-law just gave me thirty ducks, what's wrong?"

The villagers of Lijia Village answered immediately: "It's just a coincidence, what's all the fuss about!"

Zhou Yu glared at them fiercely, and waved to the ducks: "Milly!"

Hearing Zhou Yu's call, the ducks ran towards Zhou Yu one after another.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hands, Li Masan supported his crumbling body, and said with difficulty: "This...isn't that how ducks are raised..."

"That's right! That's how ducks are raised..." The villagers of Lijia Village echoed in unison.

"Enough!" Li Yi yelled angrily, "I'll send someone to his mother-in-law's house to ask about it."

Li Masan was excited and said loudly: "If you don't believe me, Master Juren must believe it, right? Let Juren..."

"No need to be so troublesome." Shen Yanbei looked directly at Li Yi, "The weather is getting hotter, in order to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants, I sprinkled a lot of sulfur around the duck house."

"If he smells of sulfur..."

Li Masan's eyes widened in horror, and he hurriedly smelled his body, and there really was an unpleasant smell of rotten eggs!

We were arguing just now, but no one noticed...

Seeing Li Masan kneeling on the ground with a pale face, the villagers of Lijia Village looked embarrassed.Zhou Yu deliberately walked over to smell it, then covered his nose, and said contemptuously, "It really stinks!"

Li Yi's face was gloomy, he flicked his sleeves, and said, "Send him to the government!"

The imperial court decreed that the thief should be punished according to the crime.The light ones require the thief to compensate the other party’s losses and make an apology, while the serious ones have to double the compensation and have to be punished...

These thirty ducks were enough for Li Masan to eat ten boards!

Shen Yanbei smiled and cupped his hands: "Li Juren understands justice!"

Li Yi ignored it, and Shen Yanbei said again: "Xiaosheng's sixth day of junior high school is waiting for you! Please be sure to reward me!"

Li Yi snorted, turned around and got into the carriage.

After finally breaking the game, the villagers of Shenjia Village felt very relieved.

Shen Dezhong looked worried: "You offended him, how could he come on the day of the crown?"

Shen Yanbei smiled: "It's okay, I have exhausted my etiquette."

The invitations have been sent out, and even if Li Yi doesn't come...it couldn't be better!
