Good luck and fortune come to the end of the world, the boss brings prosperity to the whole village

Song Jixiang did not rush to the village chief's house, but walked to the river and wandered around it for a few times.

It hadn't rained during that period, so there were no footprints on the paths leading to the river, and nothing suspicious was found in the grass.

Song Jixiang always felt that it was like a thorn in her throat that her little brother had fallen into the water. If she couldn't find the culprit hiding in the dark, he might strike again. She couldn't always stay by Xiaoqi's side to protect him.

There is a saying that there is no such thing as a thief on guard against thieves for a thousand days.

She was a little disappointed as she didn't find any clues, and walked slowly towards the village chief's house.

Suddenly, a small stone hit her feet accurately.

She looked up and found a head popping out from behind a wall. The head made a gesture to her to keep quiet and then waved.

Song Jixiang nodded in agreement and walked towards the man.

"Zhao Daniu, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Zhao Daniu nodded, without any extra words, and said directly: "I'll take you to see someone."

Fearing that she might have some concerns, he hastily added: "Don't think too much, that person is related to Xiao Qi's matter."

In fact, even if he didn't add this sentence, Song Jixiang would still go with him.

She had originally planned to ask the children there to find out what happened. Zhao Daniu was the leader of their children, so it would be a good idea to ask him.

What's more, he was the first person to jump into the river to save Xiaoqi yesterday, and he was also the one who saw the man in gray with his own eyes and told the story.

Zhao Daniu scratched his head and walked in front.

Song Xiaoqi's sister is a little weird!

She was obviously younger than him, but when he faced her, he always had the illusion that he was facing an adult, or even an elder.

She is obviously a woman, but she is dressed like a man. It looks weird no matter how you look at it!

The two walked one after the other through the criss-crossing paths and came to a ruined wall.

"Brother, here, here."

A boy guarding outside saw the two of them and shouted with his hand like a trumpet.

Song Jixiang walked over and saw more than a dozen children. Looking carefully, the faces of these children gradually matched the faces of the children who played at the village chief's house yesterday.

A man in his twenties was tied to a big tree, his body twisting restlessly, with a cloth strip stuffed in his mouth, making a humming sound.

Song Jixiang became interested. To catch a man much older than them and tie him up here, it required not only brute force, but also wisdom and tacit cooperation among more than a dozen people.

Although this man is short and thin, he is still an adult man.

Zhao Daniu walked over and tore off the strip of cloth. "Go ahead and tell me what you did yesterday."

The children standing nearby all started to make a noise.

It is somewhat like an official going to court to try a case.

The tied-up man was named Chen Ergou, a well-known idler in the village.

They say rabbits don’t eat grass near their nests.

This Chen Ergou specifically targeted people from the same village, either stealing chickens or dogs, and even the vegetables and radishes in the villagers' fields were not spared, just a small rat shit in the village.

Chen Ergou wanted to rub his sore mouth, but his hands were tied. He used to tie others up, but he didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of this bunch of bastards because of his carelessness.

"Fuck you, you bunch of little bastards, why don't you let your grandpa go," Chen Ergou moved his sore mouth, glared with a pair of goldfish eyes, and started cursing.

He spat at Zhao Daniu.

"Is it you, is it you, the little bastard, who brought them to tie your grandfather here..." Chen Ergou kicked his legs desperately.

"Bah, whose grandfather are you? Keep your mouth shut, otherwise,"

Before he could finish his scolding, Zhao Daniu rushed forward, grabbed Chen Ergou by the collar and shouted, his eyes blazing with anger. He raised his fist as big as a bowl, saying that he could do it but his grandfather couldn't.

The situation was stronger than the person. Chen Ergou didn't dare to say anything more, but his goldfish eyes bulged outwards even more.

"Grandpa, who knows? Your ancestors might come out from underground tonight to deal with you, an unfilial descendant." A young man of the same age as Zhao Daniu pointed at Chen Ergou and taught him a lesson.

"Yeah, it's like every family has a grandfather..."

"You are just a grandson, a bastard who only does bad things."

"Yes, yes, yes, you bastard, hurry up and explain clearly what you did yesterday, otherwise..."

……

Far from being frightened by Chen Ergou's ferocious appearance, the group of children were all filled with righteous indignation, and their emotions became increasingly heated.

Every one of those present had been harmed by this rotten apple and had long disliked him.

But because his father died in the battlefield, he was considered a man, and his mother died young. Everyone felt sorry for his poor life, and since they were all from the same village, as long as nothing valuable was lost, they usually turned a blind eye to Chen Ergou's behavior, which actually encouraged his arrogance and made him more lawless.

He actually dared to push the child into the river. These kids would never forgive him.

The children took turns verbally attacking Chen Ergou and asked him to explain what happened yesterday.

Song Jixiang watched quietly from the side and found it somewhat amusing. These kids were really adorable.

Chen Ergou originally looked like he didn't mind anything, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

What happened yesterday?

He stayed at Widow Sun's house yesterday. He stayed there until late at night and fell asleep as soon as he came back.

I hope these bastards are not trying to pin some unfounded crime on him. That won’t do.

He twisted left and right and began to struggle, trying to break free from the ropes.

He screamed, "Let me go, let me go, I didn't go anywhere yesterday..."

"Still trying to quibble..."

Zhao Daniu took a bag and threw it on Chen Ergou.

The bundle was affected by external force and suddenly fell apart, and a set of gray clothes and pants fell out from it, with the waistband just resting on Chen Ergou's shoulders.

How come this is his clothes???

Chen Ergou was a little dumbfounded. They were his own clothes, he would not make a mistake.

It was Widow Sun who said that he was a good worker, so she made him new clothes with the best Hangzhou silk cloth, and even embroidered the word "two" on the waistband of his pants.

How come his clothes are in the hands of these guys?

His heart began to beat fast, and he felt that if he couldn't explain this matter clearly, he would end up in trouble.

Seeing the gray clothes and the tied Chen Ergou, Song Jixiang immediately understood the intentions of these kids.

At first she thought they were just fooling around, but she never expected that these kids even found the clothes the man was wearing when he committed the crime. Who would dare to look down on them?

If it wasn't the right timing, Song Jixiang really wanted to give them a banner.

It says above that he is a smart and brave little expert.

"Can you tell me?"

Zhao Daniu asked Chen Ergou again.

Chen Ergou: ...

What does he want to say?

"You don't want to say it, right? Little Stone, you say it..."

Now that we have all the evidence, let's see how he can deny it.

The little boy whose name was called puffed out his chest, walked to the front, and spoke loudly about what had happened.

This matter started from the time when Song Xiaoqi fell into the water yesterday. The scene was chaotic, and a group of children scattered everywhere. Some stood there in a daze, some stood by the river and shouted, some ran to call adults, and of course some ran home in fear.

Little Stone was so scared that he turned around and ran home. He didn't think too much at the time. When he encountered danger, he would run home and hide. Just after he ran past a row of houses, he saw a figure behind a house. The figure was gray and looked like a large mouse. In the blink of an eye, it flashed into a house.

Little Stone took a quick glance and saw that it was Chen Ergou's home, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

This morning, when Zhao Daniu gathered everyone together, he suddenly remembered this matter and told them about it. Then everyone devised a plan to lure Chen Ergou out and took advantage of the chaos to find the clothes in his house.

It was grey, with a crooked word "two" embroidered on the waistband.

Little Stone pointed at Chen Ergou and shouted, "It's him, for sure!"
