Rebirth in 1980: I pretend to be a pig, eat the tiger and marry the chief

Another villager complained: "I just said that collecting tolls is not okay. What is the difference between this robbery and bandits!"

The big yellow tooth who was chewing corn pancakes yelled: "Why can't it be done? We worked hard to build the roads in the village. In order to build the roads, my wife was tired and had a miscarriage. Your father's leg was broken. Second uncle." Our cows are exhausted, what’s the point of collecting some tolls!”

Someone immediately echoed: "Yes, that's right, my mother was bitten by a poisonous snake and died!"

The old man sighed and said to Gao Bing: "Comrade Public Security, if you want to arrest me, arrest me, an old man. We really have no choice."

Gao Bing was about to explain when he heard the old man continue: "The main road up there cannot be walked after it was washed away by the flood last year. The government has been saying to build the road, but it has not been repaired.

The vehicles coming and going are all in our village, and the wheels of the vehicles crush the crops we grow to pieces. Every household in our family relies on crops for food, and we have no choice, so we came up with such a method! "

Tang Zheng looked at the old man's sad look and quickly explained: "Master, you also saw that our license plates are from other places. We are really passing by and are not here to handle the case."

Wen Lan suddenly remembered something and said half-jokingly: "Didn't someone say before that the village chief's brother-in-law is the director here? If he has the support, what are you still afraid of?"

The villager who said this before immediately stood up and said with a cry: "Brother, I was just pretending before. I don't know whether the director is male or female, whether the face is round or flat!"

The old man asked Gao Bing solemnly: "Young man, tell the truth, are you really not here to arrest us?"

Gao Bing shook his head: "No, just passing by."

He was really angry when these villagers blocked the road and asked for money. Now after hearing everyone's explanation, he also sympathized with these people.

Tang Zheng cleared his throat: "What, you should pay tolls in order to live. After all, you built this road, and it also occupies crop land, but a toll of 100 yuan per car is a bit inappropriate, isn't it? ?”

When the old man heard this, his face turned ugly: "Little girl, what are you talking about? Who wants a hundred dollars? We want ten dollars at most. If we bargain, we can let you go for one dollar."

Tang Zheng pointed to the big yellow tooth that was chewing corn tortillas before: "He...he..."

She pointed to a few more people: "They wanted one hundred, and they said they would break our legs and throw us into the mountains to feed the wolves if we didn't pay."

The old man was so angry that his eyes almost popped out of his head. He smacked the shovel in his hand towards Big Huang Ya: "You troublemakers have ruined the atmosphere of the village. Let me beat you to death!"

The shovel wheel in the old man's hand was shaking like a tiger, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic. Big Huangya and several others ran desperately and begged for mercy.

The people in the village tried to persuade the old man. Some people didn't like Tang Zheng. They felt that Tang Zheng was arrogant and incapable of speaking.

Tang Zheng was also a little embarrassed, but it wasn't her fault. She didn't know there was such a thing here.

Then, when the old man was passing by with his shovel, Tang Zheng grabbed the old man's shovel and said, "Uncle, this may be a misunderstanding. Maybe some fellow villagers are joking with us, right?"

Dahuangya nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, second uncle, I just made a joke with them, just a joke...ah..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man slapped him on the butt with a shovel: "I'll spare you this time and see if I don't peel off your skin next time!"

Several people quickly begged for mercy, and the matter was settled.

Tang Zheng and others all understood that the old man was just pretending. How could he really hurt the harmony of the village because of a few outsiders?

When everyone arrived at the old man's house, the villagers were busy cooking. Only then did Tang Zheng realize that the old man lived alone.

She accidentally landed on the old man's suona hanging on the wall, and everyone was stunned for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Beiqi asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Tang Zheng shook his head, stood up and walked over. Just as he was about to raise his hand to take it off and look at it carefully, Big Yellow Fang came over.

"I'm telling you, this is my second uncle's lifeblood. You can't touch it. If I fall out with you, don't blame me for not warning you!"

Tang Zheng looked at the suona for a while, his eyes rested on the red ribbon tied to the suona, and some emotion flashed through his eyes.

"Hey, you didn't wash the dishes, and there's still grass here!"

"I'm not sick after eating. You're not so serious at home, right? What's the matter with you!"

Several women were busy working while talking, and several old men helped chop firewood. They diligently cleared all the grass in the old man's vegetable garden and straightened the lopsided fence.

Tang Zheng looked at the people in the village again, and the blurry picture in his mind finally became clear.

It turned out that she had been here when she was wandering in her last life, and the people in the village took pity on her. One person gave her two cakes today, and the other person gave her two fruits tomorrow. She hid in the firewood pile opposite the old man's house. The old man was the one who gave her two cakes. The one who taught her how to play suona.

She immediately felt that everything here was friendly.

Tang Zheng suddenly thought of a very important thing. In his previous life, about 1995, a batch of historical cultural relics were unearthed from an ancient tomb in Coffin Mountain here.

However, the country discovered it too late, and most of the cultural relics inside had been stolen by tomb robbers.

Although the tomb robbers were later caught, most of the cultural relics had been transferred abroad and could not be recovered.

Tang Zheng kept this matter in mind and prepared to use it as a bargaining chip at the critical moment.

After a while, the meal was ready. The woman baked the pancakes, made the homemade miso paste, and rolled them with cucumbers, green onions and bitter sesame seeds. The pancakes had a soul.

"The stew is ready, let's eat it quickly."

The only hot dish was served, and the woman smiled and spoke to Tang Zheng and the others.

"Eat, you're welcome, take away the rest!" the old man said while picking the fruits picked by the villagers.

Tang Zheng was not polite and started eating with big mouthfuls. Several other people were also hungry. Seeing Tang Zheng like this, they gradually relaxed.

After everyone had eaten, they were ready to stand up and leave.

Tang Zheng took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the old man: "Uncle, thank you for your warm hospitality. This is a little bit of my appreciation."

Wen Lan and others couldn't understand Tang Zheng. The old man asked for five yuan in tolls before, but Tang Zheng didn't give it and lied to him. Why did he spend another hundred yuan all of a sudden?

Except for Xiao Beiqi, everyone felt that Tang Zheng was seriously ill.

When she gets to the magical city, she has to be taken to a psychiatric hospital. The hospital there is authoritative in treating this kind of disease.

The old man waved his hand quickly: "No, no, I'd better keep it for your brother's medical treatment. The magic city is still far away from here, and everything costs money!"

Tang Zheng was a little embarrassed. Everyone was wearing patched clothes, so the old man used the only white flour in the house to make pancakes for them.

She had just noticed that when they were eating fried cakes, many villagers were greedily swallowing their saliva, and some children were so greedy that their parents covered their mouths and dragged them out. The villagers here were really having a hard time. .

Tang Zheng hesitated for a moment and could only put the money back into his pocket first.

"Everyone can start digging for the isatis roots here. I will call you in a few days and ask the old Chinese doctor to send you the deposit first. Don't worry."

The old man stood up and said seriously with a straight face: "You really want to collect this medicinal material? How can you make the decision at your young age?"
