Cannon fodder in women's clothing N

"Then you don't have to worry about it!" Lin Meifen talked there, with a cold face, "I still have a conscience, don't say that his grandpa just wants to drink porridge, he just wants to eat this whole piece of meat, I If you don't let the child eat, you have to worry about his illness. I, Lin Meifen, are not like some people who don't have a heart." At the end of the sentence, she paused, "I have to accumulate some blessings for my son!"

Old Mrs. Ruan fell down in anger. Did she scold her for not accumulating virtue to her son?

Li Chengfeng winked at the meat cutter, and the master neatly cut a small piece of pork belly for Lin Meifen.

Ruan Yuan and Lin Meifen took the meat and left, not paying any attention to the fact that Mrs. Ruan was leaning on the old man and talking to the old women about them and muttering bad things about them.

Lin Meifen is the kind of parent who doesn't show her children that she has something on her mind or is angry. Although she doesn't have much education, she is not inferior at all in educating children.

When she got home, she smiled and instructed their children to make paste and prepare to paste pairs. The whole family was busy preparing for the New Year.

And the old lady Ruan ordered Liu Cuiping to visit Lin Meifen's house several times, just to see when she could deliver the meat porridge to old man Ruan.

Liu Cuiping smelled a strong aroma of stewed meat from a long distance, and when she walked in, she realized that it was really Lin Meifen's house!Lin Meifen wanted to come in again and again to play the autumn wind, Lin Meifen stood on the high stool and pasted the couplet, she could clearly see Liu Cuiping's ugly face scratching her head, remembering that her children used to have to look at their faces if they wanted to eat pancakes, this time it was finally someone else's turn I'm jealous of them.

No matter how much Liu Cuiping yelled outside, how much she cried about being poor, she just pretended not to hear it, and just matched with Ruan Yuanxiaohu and the others on her own.

On the [-]th New Year's Eve, the whole family got up early.

Lin Meifen came to Ruan Yuan and Xiaohu's house, and gave each of them a bag of candy, "One bag for each, and the rest of the family will eat, so save some."

Both Ruan Yuan and Xiaohu accepted it with a smile.

Lin Meifen helped Xiaohu put on the new clothes, and Xiaohu filled his two cloth pockets with candies, and with two pieces of candy in his mouth, he mumbled, "Mom, I want to play with Xiao Zhuangzi and the others! "

"Go, meet adults who want dessert." Lin Meifen straightened his collar, and put a small hat on his head. "Hats are not allowed to be taken off, don't give me a cold because of the Chinese New Year!"

Xiaohu answered obediently, "I know!" He got off the kang, kicked on the cotton shoes, and rushed out of the house like a little firecracker.

Lin Meifen looked at Ruan Yuan who was at the side again, Ruan Yuan retreated into the kang, and said with a smile, "Mother, I will wear it myself, I don't need you to wear it."

Lin Meifen pointed his finger at his head, and said with feigned anger, "Pipy Monkey, you are so big, even if you ask your mother to dress you up, your mother won't do it for you anymore."

Ruan Yuan put on the sweater with a smile, and pretended to shake his head to avoid Lin Meifen's hand. Lin Meifen stroked his newly grown curly hair, and said, "Although I haven't seen your father, I Seeing that Dr. Shen doesn't have curly hair, I think he might follow your own father."

Ruan Yuan folded the quilt neatly, and smiled nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter who I look like, anyway, I am your son."

"Of course you are my son." Lin Meifen looked at him with relief, "It's all gone in a blink of an eye. Sometimes I still think about it. At that time, you were only a little older. I was afraid that you would be raised as a child without oily smell every day." Shorty, look at it now, it’s all 1.7 meters, right?”

"It's over 1.7 meters!" Ruan Yuan stepped on his shoes and got off the ground, took the meter ruler in the cabinet to measure it, and quickly showed it to Lin Meifen, "I'm already 1.7 meters four!"

This surprised Lin Meifen, but when she wanted to pat Ruan Yuan's shoulder and had to stand on tiptoe, she felt that the child had really jumped up in the past few months, "Okay, grow taller! Then find someone for mother daughter in law!"

Ruan Yuan smiled sheepishly, "There is no rush."

Although the situation has improved, the atmosphere of the new year in the village is not strong. Firecrackers cannot be set off and New Year’s greetings are not allowed. On New Year’s Eve, except for some children and the elderly, women like Lin Meifen’s age, men still have to work, men They went to sweep the snow together, and the women's manual work couldn't stop. It's been like this for so many years. Except for Ruan Yuan who felt a little uncomfortable, Ruan Lan and Lin Meifen were used to it.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Lin Meifen stewed beef, potatoes and chicken, cut a plate of pork head meat, braised a carp in braised sauce, and fried some meatballs. The amount of meat in their meal almost caught up with the meat that other people ate for two years .

Lin Meifen asked Xiaohu several times to go out to play and not to tell her friends what she ate at home. Now people are not the same as before. There is no meat at home. Put some oil on his mouth and swell his face and say that he eats meat, but now he eats more. The worse the better, the daily life is not strictly managed, and the commune will send people to watch it during festivals like this.

When the family finished their meal and were sitting on the kang chatting, there was a knock on the door.

Ruan Lan sat on the edge of the kang, went out to see who was coming, and she came into the room after a while, her face was a little pale.

"What's wrong?" Lin Meifen saw her strangeness, "Who's here?"

"It's Aunt Sun." Ruan Lan took off her shoes and went to the kang, frowning, "She told people from door to door that she seemed to have found a suspicious person who killed Widow Wu, so let us all be more vigilant."

"Ah, it's Chinese New Year's Eve!" Lin Meifen couldn't help feeling a little anxious and panicked, "Did you lock the gate?"

Ruan Lan nodded. "Locked and locked."

"It's okay, don't worry." Ruan Yuan looked at the tense and fearful faces of his family members, and quickly comforted him, "Maybe that person is hiding on the mountain, thinking that everyone relaxes their vigilance and wants to escape down the mountain after the Chinese New Year. Listening to the voices outside, the villagers should They have all gone out to catch him, and I will go and have a look later."

"You are not allowed to go!" Lin Meifen said anxiously, "You child, what are you doing to join in the fun, that is a murderer!"

"One more and more strength!" Ruan Yuan said, "It's a big Chinese New Year. Everyone wants to have a good year. If the murderer is not caught again, what if there is another victim? Mother, don't worry about me going out to see Come back after watching."

Ruan Yuan has the system and space in his body, even if he confronts the murderer head-on, he is not afraid. At first, he didn't want to participate in this case. After all, the system didn't let him investigate and there are police, but the murderer hasn't been caught for nearly half a month. It seems that they are still hiding in their village, Ruan Yuan really does not want his family to be exposed to such a dangerous environment.

Sure enough, when he went out, he saw half of the men in the village coming out holding torches. Li Min saw him and nodded at him.

Standing beside Li Chengfeng, Li Min said, "Folks, just now someone said that they saw a man who was about the same size as the murderer described by the police. Let's not relax our vigilance. There has been no one for so many days, but he just came out on New Year's Eve." Well, what does it mean? It means that this person may not have left our village, but he is just hanging around in our village. He thought we could relax our vigilance during the Chinese New Year. He is trying to escape! We all worked together to catch him, and still Our Xiangjia Village is quiet, and we will have a good year!"

"Middle!" Dad Zhuangzi held a torch in one hand and a sharp sickle in the other. "Li Min is right! We have to catch this murderer for our own girls and children!"

These words cheered up the men, who would want to make their wives and children worry every day?

Ruan Yuan looked around in the crowd and didn't see Qiu Zhen, so he was relieved. Qiu Zhen's family only had two elderly people with handicapped legs, and Qiu's family lived near the mountain, so it could be said to be a dangerous place.

"Little Yuan." Li Minchao waved his hand, "Come here, let's be in a group, don't act on your own."

When Ruan Yuan approached, he found an acquaintance standing beside Li Min, Ruan Zhiping?This is the Chinese New Year back?

Ruan Zhiping is a very intelligent person, he didn't play his temper regardless of the situation like his mother and his sister, he pushed his glasses and greeted Ruan Yuan naturally.

Li Min said, "My mother has gone to your house, so you don't have to worry about Aunt Lin and Xiaohu."

Several people talked while walking, and Li Min also gave Ruan Yuan a detailed account of the general news about the murderer who killed Widow Wu.

It turns out that Li Min, as a representative of Xiangjia Village, has been investigating together with the police comrades. Now it is basically certain that the person who killed Widow Wu was not from Xiangjia Village. Judging from Widow Wu's simple interpersonal relationship, the first suspect is the Song educated youth.However, Song Zhiqing was caught up with acute gastritis in the past few days and was hung up in the hospital. The doctors, nurses and Li Chengfeng who wrote him a leave note can all testify.There were so many people coming and going in the village every day that it was hard to know who it was, and there was so much snow that day that the crime scene was covered by heavy snow.

"Has anyone ever seen the murderer?"

Li Min said, "It's the three cripples who live very close to the scene of the crime, but he's an alcoholic. He came to my house tonight and said that he saw a man who looked like a murderer sneaking around our street. , Although the comrades of the Public Security Bureau did not believe his words at the time, we couldn’t do it. If he said something wrong, at most we would suffer more colds.

Ruan Yuan recognized Li Min's approach, "Brother Li Min, you did the right thing."

-

On the other side, several people who hid in the idle house in the educated youth point collapsed on the ground panting.

A character with eight eyebrows said with a sullen face, "What's the matter, Brother Ma, the cripple ran away when he saw us, did he think we were murderers?"

Ma Huan rubbed his face and spat out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, "That's just right, I see those people might run up the mountain, so let's steal it!"

"Still stealing?" The other two were a little scared, "The men in the entire Xiangjia Village are looking for us. If they are caught, they will lose their skin if they don't die!"

"It's okay, don't we still have an internal response?" Ma Gang looked at the dazed woman sitting on the kang.

It was Shen Rui who was sweating all over from the fright in the village!

Shen Rui shook her head with a pale face, and cursed in a low voice, "You don't want to die, Ma Huan! When will you still want to steal? I won't do it! If I get caught, my life will be ruined!"

"It's up to you!" Ma Huan said with a smirk, "You came to hook up with me first, and no one has ever been born who made me work for nothing in this life! The one who stayed in the Ruan's house for so many days, stewed chicken, carp and beef, Which one is affordable for ordinary people?"

Hearing those people swallow their saliva again, their eight-character eyebrows began to waver, "There should be only two women and one child left in their family, and it looks like they can't fall asleep. What should we do? Get knocked out? "

Another person?He said, "I have a solution!"

Shen Rui was holding the flesh of her palm tightly there. Ma Huan is really not a thing. It was agreed at the beginning that she was just helping to step on it and enjoy her achievements. Now that it is so dangerous, do you want to take her out of the water?

After hearing their plan, Shen Rui didn't say no abnormally, but said with a sullen face, "You can let me follow, can you let me change a pair of shoes, I have to wrestle with my shoes when I run in the snow, At that time, I will hold you back."

Ma Huan waved his hands impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up, just don't wake up the educated youth in your room."

Shen Rui responded in a low voice.

The eight-character eyebrow stared at Shen Rui worriedly and entered the room.

After a while, Shen Rui came out with a new pair of shoes, "Let's go."

Ma Huan glared at her, "It's really troublesome!"

The group of them walked forward, and the door of the educated youth's shop suddenly opened a crack.

-

Ruan Yuan and his team searched around the mountain but found nothing.

Li Min sighed, "Go down the mountain and see if the patrolling people in the village have found anything."

The villagers were a little downcast, but they were still willing to go down the mountain. After all, there is no possibility that the mountain is in the village. Does that mean that the wives and children in the village are in danger?

Some people went down the mountain and saw Zhuangzi father running towards him holding a torch from a long distance away.

When he arrived, everyone quickly asked him, "What's the matter?"

Zhuangzi's father was tired and out of breath, "Just now, a female educated youth came to report that the murderer kidnapped Shen Rui and Shen educated youth to go to Ruan's house!"

Ruan Yuan and Ruan Zhiping asked at the same time, "Which Ruan's family!"

Dad Zhuangzi gasped again, pointed at Ruan Yuan and said, "I said I went to your house, and said I wanted to go to your house to steal a sum of money before I ran for my life!"

Ruan Zhiping heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Ruan Yuan with a bit of schadenfreude.

Ruan Yuan's ears suddenly buzzed, and without saying a word, he threw down the dying torch and hurried home.

"There's ice here, run slowly!" Li Min shouted quickly, seeing that Ruan Yuan didn't listen to him, he turned to Zhuang Zi's father and said, "Hurry up and ask my father to call the police and organize a few villagers to go to Aunt Lin's house! Go after Xiaoyuan!"

Dad Zhuangzi quickly responded, "I see."

Although Ruan Yuan ran very fast, his legs were soft. He couldn't imagine what he would do if something happened to Lin Meifen and the others.What should I do if the family I have finally lost him?

Did Li Min catch up to Ruan Yuan, "Don't worry, Xiao Yuan, my mother is with Aunt Lin and the others, I just called someone to call the police!"

"We have to run quickly!" Ruan Yuan didn't say anything else, but his eyes were red with hatred.

-

The group of people had stepped on a good point to find a road to Ruan's house without people.

Ma Huan and others hid under the eaves, and Ma Huan whispered to Shen Rui, "In the village, they don't sleep at all, so you call someone, and when she asks you what you are doing, you just say that the educated youths have run out of candles, and you want to give them to your family. Shou Sui, ask her to borrow a candle." At the end of the sentence, he added, "Don't play tricks, we are grasshoppers on the same rope!"

Shen Rui looked at the gleaming sharp knife in Ma Huan's hand, glanced timidly at those vicious bastards, and tremblingly said, "I see."

Shen Rui called for someone as Ma Huan taught, but she couldn't help praying to the captain and the others to come quickly!

The people in the room were still in a daze, but now they are all refreshed.

Sun Fulan comforted them softly, "Don't panic, I'm waiting."

After a while, the person outside the door shouted the same words, "Aunt Lin, I am Shen Zhiqing, and I want to borrow a candle from your family!"

Lin Meifen gathered her clothes, frowned and said, "Shen Zhiqing? She doesn't know our family well, why did she ask me to borrow candles?"

Sun Fulan thought for a while and said, "Maybe he was abducted from my house? This educated youth is quite poor, and he doesn't have money to buy New Year's goods for the New Year."

Lin Meifen nodded, put on her clothes and got down to find a few candles from the cabinet, and said to Ruan Lan, "I'm going out with your aunt, you two stay indoors."

Ma Huan and the others heard noises coming from the room, and they winked at each other, preparing to jump in from the modest wall.

Lin Meifen opened the door and saw Shen Rui standing in front of the door wearing a mask.

Lin Meifen didn't know her very well, but seeing her as a little girl was rather pitiful, so she handed the candle to her, "Take it and use it."

Shen Rui saw those people jumping into the wall one after another without making a sound, and there was no threat to her. She took a few steps back without picking up the candle, and shouted, "Auntie, run, someone just pointed a knife at me I have to say, they just jumped into your house to steal your money! They seem to be murderers!" After speaking, Lin Meifen and Sun Fulan didn't care if they understood, and ran away.

Shen Rui felt that she had exhausted all her benevolence, and not only woke up the educated youths to let them inform the captain, but now reminded them.As for what Ma Huan and the others did, that had nothing to do with her!

The faces of the few people who just jumped off the yard suddenly turned blue and black, damn it!This bitch turned his back on it!

Sun Fulan reacted before Lin Meifen, pulled the stick aside, and shouted into the room, "Ruan Lan! Lock the door!"

Lin Meifen didn't bother to pick up her jacket even if she dropped it, and grabbed Sun Fulan's arm with a trembling voice, "Sister Sun, Sister Sun, what's the matter, Lan Lan is still in the room!" Sun Fulan was also afraid, but she was stronger than Lin Meifen. Live, the yard is pitch black and I don't know where those people are hiding, I heard they still have knives in their hands!

On the other side, the eight-character eyebrow said in a low voice, "Brother Ma, what shall we do? Should we still steal it?"

"It's just a few old women! Knock one out with a stick, take the money and leave! Anyway, those people are still on the mountain, let's hurry up!"

Ma Huanfa pouted fiercely, "Cover your face well, that bitch has something to do with my dad, and she ordered that she can't take the initiative to report that we did it!"

A few people did what they said they would do, and the eight-character eyebrow led a person to start kicking the door, while Ma Huan threw a stick at Lin Meifen.

Sun Fulan quickly pushed Lin Meifen who was stupefied with fright, "Run! Find someone!"

-

Ruan Yuan and Li Min ran back home non-stop, with a fishy sweet smell in their throats.

From afar, he could see that his house was brightly lit, the door was wide open, and there were many spectators outside, chattering and pointing.

Ruan Yuan's throat choked up, and Li Min's expression was not good, so he quickly supported his shoulders, "Don't panic! Go ahead and have a look."

The two entered the yard one after the other.

I thought I would see some bloody scene, but I didn't expect to see four men tied up naked and thrown in the snow, with rags stuffed in their mouths, they could only chrysalis like a big bug.

Take a closer look and there is actually an acquaintance inside!

Ma Huan!

Ruan Yuan looked around and only saw Xiaohu and Ruan Lan with tears on their faces, and Sun Fulan who seemed to be injured a little bit, but he didn't see Lin Meifen.

Ruan Yuan's heart skipped a beat, "Mother!"

Li Min was checking Sun Fulan's injury, Ruan Lan wiped away her tears and shook her head, "Mother is fine, but, Qiu Zhen seems to be injured!"

Qiu Zhen! ?Why is Qiu Zhen here?

"Where are they!" Ruan Yuan grabbed Ruan Lan's arm, "Where is Qiu Zhen hurt?"

Ruan Lan choked up crying, and said incoherently, "Mother accompanied Qiu Zhen to the village health center, Qiu Zhen blocked her with his arm, and cleaned up these people. Later we found out that his arm had been bleeding."

Seeing Ruan Yuan's anxious look, Li Min hurriedly said, "I'm here, so hurry up and take a look!"

Ruan Yuan nodded, and patted Ruan Lan and Xiaohu's heads, "Don't be afraid, you two, it's okay, it's okay, I'll go see Niang and Qiu Zhen first."

Ruan Yuan ran to the village health center short-circuited, as if he had committed a crime, and fell several times. When he arrived at the health center, his legs were so tired that he could hardly feel it.

The health center in the village consists of two small rooms, one is where the village doctor consults and the other has a small hospital bed, and the other half is full of miscellaneous dried medicinal materials.

Now Qiu Zhen is lying on this small hospital bed, and Lin Meifen is rubbing medicine on his forehead.

They both turned around when they heard the voice.

"Xiao Yuan!" Lin Meifen saw him, and her eyes turned red immediately.

"It's okay, mother." Ruan Yuan held her shoulders to comfort her, "It's okay."

Lin Meifen felt embarrassed to cry in front of the junior, so she dragged Ruan Yuan and told him about it.

First, Shen Rui lied and tricked them to come out. Later, when Ma Huan saw the matter was exposed, those people smashed them with sticks like mad dogs. If Qiu Zhen hadn't appeared suddenly and blocked Lin Meifen's stick with his arm, Lin Meifen would not know what to do now In the end, it was Qiu Zhen who put the gangsters alone, but he also suffered a lot of injuries.

Lin Meifen said, "Later, Qiu Zhen interrogated them. They said that they heard that educated youth Shen said that our family was rich, so they went to gamble in order to steal some money. Tell me why this person is so bad!"

"Okay mother, you go back, I'm here to accompany Qiu Zhen." Ruan Yuan said, "You also need to watch over the house. When I came, I heard that the police were coming."

Lin Meifen was still worried about Qiu Zhen, "Then you give him a lighter medicine."

Ruan Yuan sent Lin Meifen away, and locked the door behind him.

Qiu Zhen had a lot of scratches on his face and forehead, Ruan Yuan gently rubbed the medicine on him, and the two of them didn't say a word during this period.

After a while, Qiu Zhen realized that there was a scorching pain coming from his hand that hadn't applied the medicine. He looked along the source and saw Ruan Yuan's tears falling down his cheeks while rubbing the medicine on him. , he sighed, and wiped Ruan Yuan's eyes with that hand, "Why are you crying? This is a good thing."

"What a good thing!" Ruan Yuan glared at him, and he couldn't help exerting force on his hands.

Qiu Zhen said, "If I don't come, how can your sister, your brother, and your mother be the opponents of those people?" At the end of the sentence, he was still in the mood to joke, "It's a good thing I'm here, and it's a good thing you're not here, if you see When you get hurt, I should cry too."

Ruan Yuan gently hugged Qiu Zhen's waist, sobbing with a strong nasal voice, "But Qiu Zhen, I love you so much."
