Chapter 242: meeting
A sweet and greasy feeling hit his taste buds, as if the taste was not so unbearable.
After Xixi distributed a piece of candy to Mu Feng, she began to count the candy pieces in the jar. After counting, she took three pieces and put them in her purse, and then shook the jar to make the candy inside a little fluffy. many.
Mu Feng looked at Xixi's movements in amazement, but did not expect this little one to be so smart.
"Mufeng, Mufeng, you are putting this back." Xixi pulled Mufeng's clothes and whispered.
Mu Feng took it and was about to put it back, and Xixi said worriedly: "Put a little over there, that's right, that's the place." After Mu Feng finished putting it away, Xixi looked left and right uneasy. , and found that the position was fine, so he pulled Mu Feng and slipped back.
When Yang Yu and Zhou Yu arrived at the ancestral hall, they found that many people had already come to the ancestral hall. Most of them were men, only a few were women, and all men were no longer home.
Yang Yu didn't squeeze into the crowd, but just found a relatively empty place to stay. Zhou Yu had been following Yang Yu, and he didn't say hello when he saw his uncle.
Zhou Yu touched Yang Yu's arm: "Auntie, Uncle Erniu and Uncle Tiezhu are over there, should we go over there?"
Yang Yu looked up and saw Er Niu and Tie Zhu standing next to a few men who didn't know what they were talking about. Yang Yu shook his head: "Let's do it here, so that people don't gossip."
The patriarch came out after a while, looked around these people with a very ugly face, and said, "I have something to say by calling the big guys here today."
"The big guy also knows that the heavy rain some time ago caused us to lose a lot of food. In addition, the court is still paying extra taxes recently. We are not enough to eat and wear warm."
"But I dare to say that the people in our village are definitely much richer than other villages, at least not to the point of escaping the famine. You guys said that what I said is correct." The patriarch looked around again and said.
After the patriarch said this, everyone was silent. After all, what the patriarch said was the truth. If there were those who did not have enough food to eat, they would have left early, and the remaining people had more or less some savings.
"Looking at the big guy's silence, it seems that I am right. It's not a bad thing to have money, I'm afraid of being missed."
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "Patriarch, who are we thinking about?"
The patriarch sighed: "Bandits."
Hearing what the patriarch said, the crowd began to panic again. Several people gathered together and whispered to discuss what to do. The patriarch didn't say anything but just looked at the group of them quietly.
The group of people stopped after discussing for a while, looked at the patriarch and asked, "Since you have called our big guy here, do you have any good ideas?"
"I don't have any good way to get the big guys together just to discuss a solution."
At this time, Zhou Mu stood up and said: "Patriarch, I have a solution here, but I need the help of the big guy."
"Oh, how can you tell me?"
Zhou Mu: "I heard my grandfather talk about a lot of stories in our Zhoujia Village, including the story of fighting bandits out of wits. How about we imitate our ancestors?"
"This kid Zhou Mu's proposal is good! When the time comes, let's make the surrounding of the Zhou family village like an iron barrel, and then see how the bandits get in." The elder in the village said with a smile.
Everyone listened to this suggestion and agreed.
Zhou Mu: "When the time comes, everyone will send one person from the family. When the time comes, set up sentries to patrol back and forth. Once you find any foreigners, report them immediately."
The patriarch interjected at this time: "There is a strong man in the family, don't let your father and mother come, or you must make a joke."
This joking remark relieved the tense atmosphere a little.
The big guy talked nonsense for a while, and after perfecting the original method, the big guy left.
Yang Yu and Zhou Yu waited until the big guy was almost gone before they started to go out.
"Wait for Zhou Wei's family." Yang Yu stopped when he heard the patriarch calling her.
The patriarch and several elders from the village came over and asked, "Is Zhou Wei not at home?"
"Well, I went out with Feng Yi. It's been a few days." Feng Yi stayed in Zhoujia Village for three years, and everyone knew him. In order to make an excuse for Feng Yi, he said that Feng Yi was there. A memory was missing during the war, and he forgot where his home was, so he could only go to Zhou Wei.
In the past two years, Zhou Wei used Feng Yi as an excuse to go out, saying that he had recovered a little memory, and Zhou Wei began to help him find a home. In the village, some people praised the two of them for their kindness, and some people said they were stupid. Anyway, everyone knew what they did in the end.
The patriarch nodded and asked worriedly, "You didn't say when to come back?"
Yang Yu shook his head: "I didn't say it."
The patriarch waved his hand: "Understood, you go back first!"
"Hey, when Zhou Wei comes back, you ask him to come and find me."
Yang Yu nodded and left with Zhou Yu.
When the two walked out of the ancestral hall, they saw Er Niu and Tie Zhu standing in front, obviously waiting for them.
"Uncle Erniu! Uncle Tiezhu!"
Erniu nodded to Zhou Yu and said, "Is the patriarch leaving you just now?"
Zhou Yu: "It's nothing, just ask when my uncle will come back."
"When will your uncle come back?" Erniu asked worriedly.
Zhou Yu glanced at Yang Yu, shook his head and said, "We don't know either."
Tie Zhu looked at Yang Yu and said, "Qiu Ju is worried about you at home, let me tell you that if you are afraid at home, come to my house first to squeeze."
"The home is relatively safe for now. Maybe Zhou Wei will come back in a few days and I won't go to your place to toss. You will thank Qiu Ju for me then." Yang Yu replied.
Tie Zhu: "Well, but if you have anything, you must find me and Er Niu."
Yang Yu: "Don't worry! You should also pay attention to safety at home. We have attracted many people's attention in building vegetable greenhouses in recent years. At this time, you must be cautious and don't let people be overcast."
Erniu: "Don't worry! We are all ready. If there is someone who dares to come, it will definitely make him go back and forth."
"Okay, you can be so confident. I'll go back first. I don't worry if there are only children at home." Yang Yu said.
Erniu: "Okay."
Yang Yu took Zhou Yu home. After the meeting, the village seemed to have returned to its old scene, but the people who came out to play were mostly older people, and they brought their little horses to various places in the village. In the corner, report to the youth team as soon as there is a situation.
Zhou Yu also participated on behalf of their family, but what they didn't expect was that the person sent by the old Zhou family turned out to be old man Zhou.
