Chapter 387 Delaying Time
"How about I carry the animals back?" Hu Wenhua suddenly said in Jingyi's depressed atmosphere.
Everyone looked up at him in surprise.
The old village chief was the first to object: "No! There are too many animals and it is too dangerous to go back and forth!"
Animals are important, but people are even more important, especially if they are all from the village. There is no Hu family or even one and a half of his sister's family. It is absolutely impossible for Hu Wenhua to take risks for the property of the villagers.
Fan Qiye also disagreed: "People outside have had a long lunch. Why don't they look for trouble after eating and drinking? You can't go. I'd rather have an animal enter their stomach than let you risk your life by going there!"
I feel sorry for the animals, but compared with human lives, I can only feel sorry for them.
What's more, how can we catch so many livestock, especially rabbits?
The longer it takes, the greater the danger.
However, Shui Qing felt that since Wen Hua brought it up, he must have thought it over carefully. She looked at Wen Hua and asked, "Have you thought about it? How can I bring it back?"
Hu Wenhua immediately expressed his thoughts: "Sister, what I think is that pigs and sheep can make noises, but even if rabbits are obedient and make noises, they are very small and difficult to be noticed. Besides, most of the female rabbits are still in the village, and those in the back mountains are Most of the rabbits in the rabbit room are little rabbits that have not been released from the market, so they will not be brought back;
We only carry pigs and sheep, and the pigs and sheep are not fully grown now, and the largest and heaviest pig is less than a hundred pounds. It is very easy to catch them on the ox cart, and we should be able to transport them all back in two or three trips. ! "
The old village chief Fan Qiye and others hesitated.
Hu Wenhua said that it could be transported back in two or three trips, but what they thought was that if they sent a few more men to pull the carts, wouldn't it be possible to transport it back in one trip?
For one trip, as long as they hold off the people on the other side in front, the risk is minimal.
The men present also hesitated. They were very distressed when they thought about the livestock being disturbed by people outside. When they heard that Hu Wenhua had disregarded the safety of their village, they even disagreed. However, it must be said that the method Hu Wenhua said was indeed true. feasible!
It would be unreasonable both emotionally and rationally for Hu Wenhua to go. After all, how could their animals put Hu Wenhua in danger? But it's still okay if they go by themselves.
The risk is worth it.
"Dad, how about I go?" Li Wen looked at his father and said excitedly.
Their family has the most pigs and sheep, and they have finally raised several dozen kilograms. How can they bear to be eaten by gangsters! It was as painful as digging his heart out!
"I'll go too!" Boss Wu said quickly.
He has no pigs, but he has ten sheep! Grow old and get better.
Several more men immediately stood up and responded one after another.
Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth, stood up and responded, "I can pull a cart of several hundred kilograms, no matter what. I'll follow."
The golden ox and the silver ox are out, the copper ox is injured, the grass can't walk, and the two little ones below are not as strong as myself. Of course, my own pigs and sheep will carry them back on their own!
She is not afraid of danger, but more afraid of her livestock being raped by bandits.
Li Wen was the first to say, "No need for Aunt Zhang, just a few of us guys can go over there and take care of them all."
"We won't distinguish between you and me at this time. Let's pull him back first." Boss Wu also said.
"Yes, Aunt Zhang, no matter whose family it is, we will carry them all back, no less!"
"Don't worry."
Aunt Zhang's eyes were slightly moist, and she wanted to say thank you, but she finally said: "Okay, I'll treat you to pork when the pig is killed!"
The men grinned when they heard about eating pork.
Now that we have decided to carry the pigs and sheep back, we need to make a plan.
Hu Wenhua said that he had been catching pigs with his father since he was a child, and he was very experienced. He successfully persuaded him to go with him, and added: "Every time you go back and forth, plus the time to tie pigs and sheep, it will take a stick of incense at the fastest, so sister, you are in front. At least it will take the other side a stick of incense!”
Shui Qing assured: "Okay! Don't worry."
Bai Ziqian then assured: "Even if we are reminiscing about old times and rekindling family ties, I still have to have a chat with my uncle. Don't worry, Uncle Wenhua!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.
Hu Wenhua smiled and continued to warn: "Always pay attention to the number of people on the opposite side, and be careful if someone sneaks over."
After all, they were going to the back mountain this time with a small number of people. Even if more than ten people sneaked over, they would be in great danger head-on.
Li Changlin responded and assured: "I am always counting the number of people on the side. Once the number of people is low, I will immediately remind Aunt Shui Qing."
After quickly finalizing the matter, Li Changlin climbed up to the observation deck, counted the number of people, and made a OK gesture downward.
Hu Wenhua, Li Wenwu and five or six men quickly prepared carts, hemp ropes and other items and ran towards the back door.
Shui Qing and Bai Ziqian also climbed up to the observation deck.
Let Bai Ziqian play the family card first.
"Uncle! Uncle!"
Magistrate Wu in the carriage frowned deeply when he heard an annoying sound.
The next moment, the master announced from outside the car curtain: "Master, he is Madam's nephew."
Magistrate Wu hummed, got out of the carriage, stood on the carriage, raised his head and squinted at the young master of the Bai family whose face could not be seen clearly on the observation platform, with a calm expression: "Qian'er, please persuade the people inside You know, going against the court and the government will not bring you any good results, so you can’t make the same mistake again and again.”
Bai Ziqian pretended not to understand and continued to shout: "Uncle, we are fine here, why did you bring people to arrest us?
Besides, my nephew is still in the village. Aren't you afraid of hurting me and being unable to explain to the Bai family? "
Magistrate Wu frowned even deeper. Why should he explain to the Bai family? He wished Bai Ziqian was gone!
The flood in Nandu was much more serious than here, and it was in chaos early. As the richest family in Nandu, the Bai family attracted the wind. I wonder if his good brother-in-law is still alive.
It doesn't matter if they are all gone. In the end, the Bai family will belong to his Wu family, right?
Thinking of the wealth of the Bai family, he looked at Bai Ziqian with a smile: "Uncle, I can't do anything. The lives of the victims are also lives. As a parent official, how can I ignore them?
Qian'er, there are hundreds of lives. They came to Shanshui Village to beg for food because they were hungry, and then there was no trace. Do you think your uncle should come and check it out in person? And Qian'er, if you are coerced by the villagers, come out quickly, your uncle will protect you!
Uncle advises you not to help the tyrant without knowing right from wrong."
Bai Ziqian really opened his eyes today.
Black can be said to be white. It was obviously those bandits who attacked the village, but in his uncle's mouth, they were victims!
Uncle didn't mention the robbery and murder at all, and some were just hungry and begging for food!
If it wasn't for stalling time, he could really yell at them.
Suppressing his anger, he pretended not to understand and asked, "Weren't those people driven away? Besides, my uncle didn't care about the victims before, wouldn't it be better if there was no trace? Why bother looking for him again?"
When he heard Bai Ziqian say that he didn't care about the victims, County Magistrate Wu's face turned black as the bottom of a pot.
The refugees beside him looked at County Magistrate Wu blankly.
Yes, it was because County Magistrate Wu didn't care that they were reduced from victims to refugees!
