Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

The corner of Xiao Le's mouth twitched, and he took a step back calmly. As expected, the dog followed, forcing the distance between the two to remain so close.

"Don't arrest the head, the Hu family said that Hu Jiawang died of illness the day before yesterday because of a long-term illness. Could it be that there is something hidden in it?"

Otherwise, how could the government come.

Seeing him talking in a serious manner, Mo Butou liked it more and more the more he looked at him. Since he was sensible, he had often dreamed of a person. He couldn't see the person clearly, only the figure and the occasional voice made him unforgettable.

I thought it was just a dream, but I didn’t want to hear the same voice as the person in the dream that day on the street, and then follow the voice, the figure of this person is also the same as the person in the dream.

So he went forward and deliberately made a joke, and the contact couldn't stop, and since he met Xiao Xiucai, his dream has disappeared.

This person is the one in the dream.

Mo Butou is very confident that he guessed right.

Seeing him staring straight at him, Xiao Leqing coughed to bring him back to his senses, "I know I'm handsome, so Mo Tutou doesn't have to be so envious."

Mo Butou didn't think he was thick-skinned at all. When he caught a glimpse of the second brother Xiao who was striding forward from the corner of his eye, he stepped back with a smile, "Oh, Xiao Xiucai is so handsome, I can't even look away."

Xiao Le raised his chin proudly, "It's not that Xiao is complacent, it's because there is no other person in this village who is more handsome than me."

"Hahaha yes yes."

"Mo Butou! Everyone is looking for you, and I don't want you here," Second Brother Xiao stood in front of Xiao Le vigilantly, and said to Mo Butou with a smile.

It was obvious that there was something wrong with the Hu family, but the chief catcher didn't know where he wandered off. Brother Xiao was worried that this kid would go to find Brother Le, but he came to have a look, what a guy!As expected, it was dangling in front of Le Geer's eyes!

"Hu Jiawang died of poisoning, and it was his sister-in-law who reported the crime."

Mo Butou did not leave because of Brother Xiao's thorny words, but instead talked about the Hu family's affairs, "I came out to ask the villagers to find out, how is the relationship between Hu Jiawang and his wife?"

Mrs. Hu, who got along day and night, didn't realize the cause of her husband's death, but it was the younger aunt who came to see Hu Jiawang when he was in a coma, but panicked and reported the case.

"I don't know if Xiao Xiucai is willing to be a good-hearted villager. Tell me how much?"

"Brother Le has been studying in a private school in the past, so how do I know what's going on in this village? I know a little bit. Let's talk while walking? I'm still waiting for you over there."

Second Brother Xiao said with a subterranean smile.

Xiao Le also stretched out his hand behind Second Brother Xiao's shoulder and waved at Mo Tantou, the raised lips made Mo Catcher raise his eyebrows, "Then Second Brother Xiao just talk about it."

After walking a few steps, Catcher Mo suddenly turned his head again, and said to Xiao Le who was standing there, "I have some friendship with Xiao Xiucai, and it is troublesome to go back and forth to the county government in this snowy day. I don't know if Xiao Xiucai is willing to take him in." Me for one night?"

Second brother Xiao's face trembled a few times when he heard this, and secretly scolded Mo Butou for being shameless.

But he also knew that it was not easy to refuse. After all, he was from the Yamen, so Xiao Le also nodded, "Okay."

Hearing this answer, Catcher Mo frowned, talking with Brother Xiao all the way to Hu's house.

When Xiao Le returned home, only Xiao Yunyue was at home. After asking, he found out that everyone else had gone to Hu's house.

"Yunyue, do you have any contact with Lady Hu's younger sister?"

Mrs. Hu's natal family is from the next village, and the two villages are separated by a mountain, and it takes more than half an hour to walk there.

Xiao Yunyue was embroidering a handkerchief, when she heard this, she stopped her hands, raised her head and said, "I have spoken several times, but I have seen them from a distance, and she took the initiative to speak up."

"Ask about your Hu family?"

Xiao Le asked again.

Xiao Yunyue nodded, "Yes, asking how Madam Hu is doing in the Hu family, I must be concerned about her sister."

This case was not mentioned in the original text, so Xiao Le was really curious.

But the original owner remembered the Ren family the most, and he really didn't care much about the rest of the village.

So even Hu Jiawang, Xiao Le has no memory.

"Ms. Hu is about the same age as me, so her sister is about the same age as you?"

Xiao Le is ten years older than Xiao Yunyue.

"Not at all. Yunniang is five years older than me. She was discussing marriage two years ago, but she hasn't found a suitable one, so she's still in her boudoir."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yunyue paused and looked at Xiao Le.

The corner of Xiao Le's mouth twitched, "I just met someone from the yamen outside, saying that Yunniang reported the case, and Mrs. Hu took care of Hu Jiawang day and night, but she didn't know that he died of poisoning. On the contrary, she came to see Hu Jiawang not long ago. Yun Niang, reported the case after the other party's death."

Xiao Yunyue was startled, "Poisoned?"

"Yes, poisoned," Xiao Le nodded.

When it was almost noon, Mother Xiao and others came back, and a group of people were discussing, and the whole yard was very lively.

"Oh, that Mo Butou is really fierce. He turned his face at the Hu family, and the whole family dared not speak. You must know that when Mo Butou didn't pass by, the old lady of the Hu family was lying on the ground and yelling at those people. Hurry up, Sapo, and say that Yunniang reported the crime indiscriminately, and her son died of illness."

Xiao's mother was afraid that Xiao Le would not know the scene at that time, so she gesticulated and described it to Xiao Le, and Xiao Le smiled when she heard it.

Seeing him laughing, everyone knew that he wanted to hear, so they spoke in a few words.

"This Hu Jiawang was buried for only one day, and he was dug out by the government. Fortunately, it was cold and smelly, and your mother stretched her neck to see it."

Father Xiao smoked the dry smoke, shook his head and said.

"The fifth mother-in-law went directly to see it," Xiao's mother was not convinced, "I didn't dare to go over even if I looked at the ridge."

"The township doctor was dragged to look at the corpse, ouch, that face didn't look good at all."

Mrs. Xiao said tut-tsk.

"He treats the living, so Catcher Mo insists on dragging him to see the dead. It's strange that his face looks good." Second Sister Xiao felt a little sympathetic to the doctor's face when he thought of him.

"In the bamboo forest outside the Hu family's courtyard, the monkey found the residue of the medicine. Oh, the village doctor saw that there were indeed poisonous weeds in it!"

Brother Xiao slapped his thigh, talking about the face of the Hu family changed drastically after hearing this, and the villagers were extremely shocked.

"Monkey? Where are monkeys?"

Xiao Yunxing was puzzled.

"It's the yamen servant, his nickname is Monkey."

Second Brother Xiao said to Xiao Le after finishing speaking, "When the matter came to this, Lady Hu couldn't hold back at all, and started crying there. Once she cried, what else do we not understand?"

"I thought Hu Jiawang was harmed by one person, but I didn't want the whole family to have a share," Mrs. Xiao didn't understand. "This Hu Jiawang was a good man before he got sick, why did the whole family hate him after he got sick?"

"How long has Hu Jiawang been ill?" Xiao Le finally spoke.

"It's been more than two years, and this year, it's three years."

Brother Xiao sighed.

"Yeah, speaking of it, we really don't know what kind of disease Hu Jiawang has."

Brother Xiao asked, "It seems that Mrs. Hu started to get sick the year she came in, oh, it's true!"

The busy courtyard was suddenly silent for a while.

Father Xiao knocked on the table with the cigarette stick, his voice was very loud in the quiet environment, "Don't talk nonsense, didn't the government take everyone away? We'll know what's going on then."

"Catcher Mo left too?"

Xiao Le asked.

Brother Xiao nodded again and again, "The Hu family all looked like they had confessed their crimes, so Mo Butou and the others took them away, and before they left, they said..."

Seeing Xiao Le looking at him curiously, Second Brother Xiao lowered his voice, "I said I'll meet you again next time."

"Where does our Brother Le have an old relationship with him?"

As soon as Brother Xiao finished speaking, Aunt Xiao pinched him, "What are you talking about? Brother Le and he have no old feelings at all."

"Isn't it the same?"

Brother Xiao, who was pinched, was puzzled.

It made everyone laugh, and after helping to prepare the meals, the family ate around the big round table.

Hu's father had only one son in his generation. After he got married, the couple had three children. Two sons, the second is Hu Jiawang, and the third is a daughter who is married.

So after being taken away, there was no one in Hu's yard.

Besides, Hu Jiawang's grave was dug up, and the bones were taken away, leaving the scene in a mess.

However, all the children in the village went there to play in the afternoon, including Xiao Yunxing.

Brother Xiao beat him all the way back with bamboo chips.

"Where is that place, you go there to play, you kid will die!"

He died of poisoning again, and his grave was dug up after his death. The elders in the village felt that Hu Jiawang's resentment could not be dispelled. Under such circumstances, they naturally didn't want the children to play.

Xiao Yunxing with red eyes hid behind Xiao Le, Brother Xiao would not dare to hit Xiao Le no matter what he did, he could only stare there.

"Brother," Xiao Le walked over helplessly, and snatched the bamboo in his hand, "I don't need to say that this thing hurts people. If it scratches Yun Xing's face, he won't be able to marry a wife after ruining his face."

"That's what he asked for!"

Brother Xiao said viciously at the side, "If it were me, I would beat him with an ax."

Xiao Yunxing wanted to cry even more.

"Okay, okay," Mother Xiao pulled Xiao Yunxing over, and looked around again, "Where's Yunlan?"

Xiao Yunxing, who was sobbing, lowered his head.

Seeing that everyone didn't know what was going on, brother Xiao wanted to pick up the bamboo slices but then remembered what Xiao Le said, he was afraid of ruining his face, that's a girl, it really can't.

So I could only go out to find someone with empty hands.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yunlan was brought back crying with mud on her body.

Xiao Yunyue had just boiled the water, so she hurriedly took her to take a bath and changed into clean clothes.

"How dare these children be so courageous! Just the grandson of Uncle Li's family, whoops, jumped into that coffin!"

Brother Xiao felt a toothache when he said that, "That's really courageous!"

"Adults don't care?"

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother frowned.

"Never mind it," said Xiao Yunlan, who was no longer crying, "his parents grabbed one ear and pulled it back. They will definitely be beaten when they get home."

"And talk about someone else!"

Second brother Xiao glared at her, brother Xiao raised his hand and pretended to hit someone, Xiao Yunlan hid behind sister-in-law Xiao, was pulled over by sister-in-law Xiao, and lightly slapped the back of her hand, "You little girl is also courageous! You are not afraid of provoking me!" Dirty stuff!"

"It's okay, let me tell you a story."

Xiao Le drank gold thread tea and looked at the children with a smile.

Xiao Yunyue was the first to feel a little scared, but she didn't dare to leave.

So the people in the room listened to ghost stories all afternoon, and for a long time, no matter adults or children, they had to be accompanied when going to the toilet at night.

Hu's family didn't even dare to go, and even walked around other graves.

He didn't even dare to sit alone with Xiao Le, for fear that the other party would suddenly get up and tell them ghost stories again.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the three brothers Xiao Le came to the county together to buy food and red paper for the New Year.

Red paper is used to cut window grilles and write couplets.

Big Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao were each carrying a backpack, and Xiao Le followed behind them all the way with his hands empty, looking here and there.

When passing by the Silver Jewelry Building, Xiao Le went in alone. After spending ten taels of silver, he came out with a small box. When Brother Xiao asked what it was, Xiao Le opened the box.

"My mother!"

"Brother Le, how much money did you spend!"

In addition to a silver bracelet, there are silver hairpins and silver earrings of different styles.

"Twelve."

Xiao Le closed the box, "This is for my mother, sister-in-law and Yunyue. As for Dad, you and Yunxing, I will give you red envelopes."

"I've given all these away, why use Fenghong, and besides, you are our younger brother, how can I ask you to give us Fenghong."

Xiao Le raised his eyebrows, "If you don't want it, then I will share your share with Yun Xing."

"I want!"

"I want!"

When the shopping was about to end, Xiao Le happened to meet Mo Butou, who was patrolling the street.

"Don't catch the head."

Xiao Le stood still, and Brother Xiao, who was carrying a basket full of baskets on his back, stood beside Xiao Le on the left and right, staring at Mo Butou like two door gods.

"Xiao Xiucai, I was really busy that day, so I didn't come to say goodbye to you," Mo Butou sighed, and stepped forward, "I'm really sorry. It just so happens that I finished patrolling the streets and it's almost noon again. Could you give me a favor? Have a meal?"

"Okay."

Before Second Brother Xiao could refuse, Xiao Le said, "Big Brother and Second Brother, are you hungry? Don't catch the head to treat you, you don't have to be polite."

"We're all brothers, why don't you be polite, let's go, good luck come to the restaurant to eat!"

Mo Butou looked rich and powerful, making Xiao Le follow with a smile.

"The elbows here are the best, how many do you want?"

As soon as he sat down, Catcher Mo introduced to Xiao Le.

"Okay."

Xiao Le nodded.

Mo Butou ordered five meat dishes and a pot of good wine, but it took only a stick of incense, and Xiao Le watched him and his two older brothers call each other brothers.

After saying goodbye to Butou Mo, and when they went out of the city and boarded the oxcart home, Second Brother Xiao sighed, "Actually, Butou Mo is a pretty good guy."

"That's right, he doesn't talk around in circles, he's a straightforward person, and he's also capable of handling things," Big Brother Xiao nodded repeatedly.

"Brother Le, it's not bad to have a good relationship with the people in the government," Brother Xiao felt that he had misunderstood Inspector Mo before, which made him a little more prejudiced. After this meal, he felt that his vision of seeing people was too narrow up.

Xiao Le couldn't help but smile, "Second brother, aren't you always afraid that he will disrespect me?"

"It's mainly because when we first met, his joke made people uncomfortable," Second Brother Xiao touched his nose.

"What joke?"

Brother Xiao asked.

"It's nothing." Xiao Le glared at Second Brother Xiao, who grinned, "It was just a joke. I thought he was disrespectful to Brother Le, so I was very wary when I met him later."

The two brothers walked home with a big basket on their backs. Many people in the village saw it and were full of envy when they returned home.

"The life of Xiao Xiucai's family is really good. You haven't seen how many New Year's goods they have made."

"It's time to live a better life. In order to support Xiao Xiucai's education, their family has lived a hard life for so many years."

"Yeah yeah……"

As soon as he got home, Xiao Le cut out the red paper, and first wrote a copy for Xiao Yunyue to send to Ren's house. When Xiao Yunyue came back, a tail followed behind him.

"Third brother, this is the glutinous rice cake made by my mother, I give it to you to try."

Ren Cong came over with a big bowl of glutinous rice cakes with a smile on his face.

"Auntie has a heart," Xiao Le nodded slightly, and Xiao's mother came out to greet Ren Cong enthusiastically, and invited him to sit down and drink sugar water.

Xiao Yunxing followed the other party, and the two of them were muttering for some reason.

As soon as Ren Cong left, Xiao Le asked Xiao Yunxing, Xiao Yunxing put his hands on his hips and said, "I asked Uncle Ren Cong to gather more than half of the friends in the village, and then I will tell them ghost stories!"

"...It's almost Chinese New Year, let them have a good New Year."

Xiao Le said tactfully.

Xiao Yunxing didn't listen. On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Hu Jiawang's case came to an end, and the Xiao family also received "complaints" from many parents.

"Our children don't know what Yunxing said, and they screamed in fright when they heard the movement at night."

"Our third son was on the way to the toilet at night, when his father called him, he peed his pants on the spot, saying that he had heard some story from Yun Xing."

"Our house..."

One morning, more than a dozen parents came.

For Xiao Le's sake, everyone very euphemistically mentioned Xiao Yunxing's influence on their children.

After sending these people away, Xiao Yunxing was surrounded by Big Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao.

Xiao Yunxing looked upright, "I found out that they still go to the Hu's house to play at night, so I wanted to scare them. What I said was the ghost story my little uncle told."

Now that I want to hit someone, I don't know whether I should do it or not.

Big Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao looked at each other and looked at Xiao Le.

Xiao Le silently raised the book in his hand, covering his face.

So the next moment Xiao Yunxing was chased and beaten by Big Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao.

Xiao Yunxing yelled as he ran, running around the entire village.

And under his exclamation, those parents knew that their children went to Hu's house secretly at night, and now they don't blame Xiao Yunxing, and they still protect him, and tell Big Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao not to beat the children.

Xiao Yunlan stood worriedly at the gate of the courtyard and looked around, fearing that Xiao Yunxing would come back with a swollen buttock, but the other party would skip and walk in front, while her father and second uncle walked behind, also smiling.

This made Xiao Yunlan yell, "Oh! Father and Second Uncle are confused by Yun Xingqi!"

"what's that?"

Mother Xiao was startled, and hurried over to take a look, "Yun Xing? Did you get beaten?"

"No," Xiao Yunxing giggled, Second Brother Xiao behind him explained the situation, and Xiao Yunlan next to him rolled his eyes.

Aunt Xiao, who was staring at her all the time, said, "You little sisters also go there to play at night?"

Xiao Yunlan was frustrated, "No."

"The Hu family's case is closed," Second Brother Xiao said after sitting down, "I heard from the village chief that Mrs. Hu and Hu Jiazhuang were executed after the first year of their marriage, and the rest were beaten [-] times. A crime of knowing and failing to report."

Hu Jiazhuang is the eldest brother of Hu Jiawang.

"The village head became very angry, and said that tonight, every household has to let one person go, and he has to beat carefully, so that this kind of thing can't happen again, and the reputation of our village can be ruined."

Brother Xiao didn't expect that Mrs. Hu would get involved with her uncle.
