Thinking this in his heart, he couldn't say the words of surrender. "I'll go and take a look first. If you lie to me," the boss paused, pretended to be fierce, and raised his eyebrows, "you know the consequences."

The second brother was secretly delighted and glanced at the other person with an apologetic look on his face, his eyes drooping. He thought he could get away with it.

It's too late to say anything soft. Big brother has the toughest mouth in his body, so he should be thrown into the pot and stewed for two hours.

Okay, now that we've been tricked, the rest will be easy.

I did do some work on the crops, but only in conspicuous places, and then used the excuse that it was raining and the weeds were growing fast.

The eldest brother is not familiar with farm work and he only started working in the fields after the family division this year. He can barely cheat, but this trick will not work if he is using it against the third brother.

I was a little afraid to face Lao Er, and my fingers were always digging at the hoe, just wanting to leave quickly.

"I……"

"Then I'll go back first."

The eldest brother nodded obediently, and the two passed each other.

After walking a few steps, the second brother stopped, turned around and looked at the eldest brother's back. He never realized that the eldest brother had such a lovely side.

The eldest brother walked to the field. He was still somewhat suspicious. His younger brother was used to acting and he had suffered a lot in this regard since he was a child. When he separated from him just now, he thought that this was probably the case.

When I walked into the field, I was stunned to find that he was actually working. There were much fewer weeds than before I went up the mountain to cut trees. It seemed that he was not lying this time.

But the work is too rough. Never mind. Don't worry about it. It's good enough like this. I can do the rest myself.

The second brother arrived home and lay comfortably on the kang with his legs crossed. The eldest brother should have been working in the fields, otherwise if he found out that he had lied, he would definitely come back halfway. Now he has completely put his mind at ease.

He stared at his eldest brother's door, wondering how he could take it away legitimately. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He pounded his right hand on the palm of his left hand, and his brows relaxed.

Thinking of the half talisman given by the old lady, I decided to use it to write an article.

When the eldest brother came back, I discussed with him who would go to the third brother's house to paste talismans tonight. Originally, I was thinking of waiting and seeing if anything would happen if the eldest brother finished first. This time, I had to take action first.

I haven't done these things before, so I'm a little excited. But I've heard mom talk about what she did with talisman paper before, and everything came true one by one. But it's normal to attract bad things when using this kind of thing, so don't blame yourself, brother.

The second child climbed to the southeast corner of the kang, pressed his head against the wall, rolled up his sleeves to the top, and stretched his arms down with force. When he did that, he felt that the hole was a bit deep and difficult to reach, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

His face turned red, and he couldn't stretch his arm far enough. The narrow gap was too narrow for him to pass through. He stretched out two fingers and barely reached the small cloth bag containing the talisman paper.

I didn't want to ask the children for help, so I set it off secretly. What if they found out and took it to play with it?

I was almost there, so I stretched down with force. The wall was not smooth, and there were some small, unnoticeable bumps. My arm had already left bloody marks on the wall.

Finally I managed to pinch it with two fingers, but pulling it back became a problem as I got stuck inside.

You can't let go of the thing in your hand, otherwise you will have to do it again and your arm will be broken.

He held the small cloth bag tightly, closed his eyes, clenched his back teeth, and pulled hard. Instantly, more blood marks appeared on it. He couldn't let his wife see it. It looked too much like scratches by long fingernails. No one would believe him if he said he got those by taking something out of a hole.

"Huh~" He finally took the small bag up, raised his arm, carefully counted the marks on it, and opened it carefully, afraid of damaging the thin paper.

I didn't even dare to breathe hard. If it was blown away, it would be terrible. I didn't know if it was worth getting injured for such a thing.

I concentrated and listened carefully to the noise outside the house. I estimated that my eldest brother should be back soon, so I had to discuss this matter with him quickly.

As expected, some slight vibrations reached my ears.

It was the sound of my eldest brother's footsteps, coming closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

He wrapped the paper in cloth and went out, stood in the yard, looked around, picked up the broom and pretended to sweep the floor.

Although I usually lie on the kang most of the time, which is not surprising to others, my brother might be in a bad mood today.

If you really find out that the work in the fields is just for show, you will get back and give yourself a couple of punches, which will be enough to hurt you. Pretending to be working can help avoid some risks.

He looked up while scanning, and the moment he saw his elder brother's figure, he immediately straightened up and wiped the sweat from his head.

"Brother, I want to tell you something."

The eldest brother was in a good mood and strode into the door, "Wait for me to drink some water, and then we can talk in my room."

The second child couldn't wait to throw down the broom, as if he was avoiding the plague god, and patted the dirt on his hands.

The eldest brother didn't come out of the kitchen, so he didn't dare to go into his room. If something was lost or damaged, it would all be blamed on him.

Seeing the eldest brother coming out after drinking the water, there were a few drops of water hanging on the newly grown beard on his lips, which were particularly conspicuous under the sunlight. He wiped them off with his hand, and the water drops disappeared instantly. The second brother followed him in after he entered the house.

He sat down on the kang, threw his shoes aside, and lay down without caring whether there was anyone around or not, squinting his eyes and letting out a comfortable sigh.

If it weren't for the second brother next to me, I would have fallen asleep immediately. Suddenly, I felt that he was a bit annoying. I should quickly solve the problem and have a good sleep. "Huh~ What do you want from me?"

The second brother sat aside, leaning against the wall. "We have to go to the third brother's house tonight. Let's discuss whether you should go or I should go. Let's not mess things up."

The eldest brother has completely forgotten about this matter. He must take his mother's instructions seriously, otherwise his future life will be difficult. Believe it or not, he must do it.

He suddenly stood up and walked out of the room, leaving the second child with a confused look on his face.

He came back soon, but the difference was that he had two thin and hard wooden sticks in his hands. I didn't know where he picked them up from or what he was going to use them for.

The eldest brother lifted a corner of the kang, and the second brother was surprised. It was true that people from the same family live in the same house. There were only three kangs in the house, and all three had holes in them. The eldest brother might have made this when he was bored.

I saw the eldest brother put the two sticks in and picked out a small cloth bag covered with dust.

The second brother was stunned for a moment. Why was he so stupid to just take it out? Why didn’t he get two small sticks at that time? His arms were all covered with wounds.

I sighed silently in my heart. My brain isn't as fast as my brother's. I should eat something good to replenish my body.
