Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

A group of people surrounded the gate of Lao Gu's house. Most of the country people are simple and honest. They usually don't lock the door when they go out to work, and they have never heard of anyone throwing things.

But now, someone suddenly said that there was a thief in the village, who stole the soybean seeds just sowed by the public.

The person who discovered the problem was Gu Jianguo. Before he could figure out the reason for finding out the old Liu, Wu Laosan came to inform him.

The shriveled old Liu had his hands behind his back, and his face was extremely ugly. It's okay that he doesn't have much dignity in the village. Today, this kind of thing happened. This is stealing things from the public house, which is a big crime.

It's fine if no one saw it, but now that there's a quarrel, he, the brigade leader, can't escape his responsibility, so he has to solve it naturally.

The shriveled old Liu glanced at Gu Jianguo: "Jianguo, what do you think about this matter?"

Gu Jianguo said with a dark face: "It should be investigated, it should be punished, and what should be done."

Stealing seeds to eat, there has never been such a vicious incident in Dahe Village.

As a result, Wu Laosan insisted that Gu Mingdong stole it, and said that he woke up last night and saw it.

Seeing Gu Jianguo staring at him coldly at this moment, Wu Laosan immediately jumped up and shouted: "Captain, this matter cannot be investigated by the scorekeeper. They are even married. Who knows if he will cover up criminals! Let him It is only fair for everyone to witness.”

The shriveled old Liu touched it and said, "That's the truth."

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that he would be too tough, so he explained: "Jianguo, I am not targeting you. For such a big matter, let the members of the village be a witness. Stealing things from the public house is poaching the corners of socialism, and the members have to make decisions. "

Gu Jianguo snorted coldly: "The captain has the final say, I believe everyone's eyes are discerning, and they will never wrong a good person."

Only then did the noisy commotion in front of Lao Gu's house begin.

"What's the matter?" Gu Erdi took a look outside, the Gu family homestead was higher than the yard, and people could be seen outside the yard.

He frowned and scolded: "Brother, I saw Wu Laosan, that guy must not hold his fart well."

Gu Mingdong changed his mind and asked Gu Simei to take the two children in to rest so as not to be frightened.

I went to the kitchen by myself, and then came out with my younger siblings. I opened the door and saw a group of fellow villagers, Gu Jianguo with a dark face, old Liu with a embarrassed face, and the third son Wu who was a villain.

"It's late at night, why don't you sing an opera here?"

Wu Laosan jumped up and scolded: "Who are you scolding? Your whole family is a low-ranking opera singer."

"Who the hell are you scolding!" The second brother Gu couldn't hold his breath, and was about to strike with a stick, so frightened that Wu Laosan hid behind the shriveled old Liu.

Gu Mingdong's face turned cold: "Wu Laosan, be careful with what you say, isn't the lesson from the day not enough!"

Gu Jianguo also snorted coldly: "Say what you say, don't point at father and mother."

Wu Laosan hurriedly looked at the shriveled old Liu: "Captain, you see, before I asked this question, Gu Jianguo came to protect me first."

"Third uncle just said something fair, what's bothering you?" Gu Mingdong said lightly, "Wu Laosan, you brought people to make trouble at night, and those who didn't know thought you had a small stomach, because a few quarrels during the day, Relying on his indirect relationship with the captain, he fanned the flames to criticize and fight against the families of the martyrs."

"You fart!" Wu Laosan was so angry that he jumped.

Seeing that the fire was about to burn himself, old Liu had no choice but to come out and say, "Shut up, everyone. If you want to quarrel, let's see when."

"Adong, it's like this. The soybean field in the village was found to have lost half of the soybean seeds today. Someone must have sneaked away in the middle of the night."

Steal seeds?

The onlookers also commented: "Is there really someone who dares to steal things from the public house?"

"Has the team really been stolen? It can't be the old Gu's family, they are martyrs."

"You didn't see Wu Laosan insisting that it was their family. Maybe there is evidence."

Gu Erdi and Gu Sanmei's hearts skipped a beat, thinking of the extra food at home.

The two of them looked at each other, and they both suspected that the source of the food was unknown, but there was absolutely no soybean seed in their house!

Gu Mingdong interrupted him: "What does this have to do with me?"

He changed his mind, could it be that Wu Laosan was the one who stole the food last night, and he was a thief calling for a thief?

But looking at Wu Laosan's appearance and figure, he didn't look like him. He was taller yesterday.

Wu Laosan jumped up and said, "Who doesn't know that you are pretending to be sick at home these days, and everyone in the village is busy going to the fields except you. Who has the time to steal soybeans?"

Gu Mingdong sneered and said: "This is really weird. My family member just died, and I was so sick that I couldn't get out of bed. Today is just a little bit better. I haven't been to work for a few days. I don't even know when soybeans were planted in the field." , how could it be possible to steal?"

At this moment, Widow Liu who came out to watch the commotion heard the movement next door and also shouted: "Yeah, Ah Dong was going to die a few days ago, how could he steal anything."

"Besides, if soybeans are planted, insects will bite and mice will eat them. It's not normal to have some less."

Wu Laosan scolded: "You widow, what are you talking about for him? Why, you two have an affair?"

Widow Liu turned pale and was too angry to speak.

Wu Laosan said proudly: "As long as you are a scumbag, it would be suitable to match the rotten boat of the old Gu's family."

Widow Liu is more than a year older than Gu Mingdong, and she is also a pungent person. Otherwise, after her husband died, she would not be able to drag her three children to grow up.

The house of the old Gu family was eccentric, and Widow Liu lived nearby, and her house was far away from the village. When the sister-in-law of the Gu family was still alive, the two families walked around, but once the sister-in-law of the Gu family died, Widow Liu came less because she was afraid of being gossiped.

Now being scolded in the face, Widow Liu naturally refused to do it. She rushed over and grabbed Wu Laosan to scratch two big ears, and scolded while beating: "I made you spit feces all over your mouth, I will tear you up today. your mouth!"

The shriveled old Liu didn't catch one, so Widow Liu grabbed Wu Laosan and beat him.

Wu Lao San is a man, but he can't stop Widow Liu's strength and height, and the two actually fought evenly.

In the end, Gu Jianguo couldn't stand it anymore and pulled people away: "Stop beating, do you still want to settle the matter?"

Wu Laosan's face was covered with flowers, his nose was swollen, and half of his front teeth were broken. He looked like a clown.

With a bitter face, he shouted: "Brigade Captain, judge me. I'm here to be a witness and to contribute to socialism. She would beat people up."

Widow Liu snorted: "You were the one who beat me, old Liu, my wife is your sister-in-law, and you just watch him ruin my reputation?"

After finishing speaking, I still want to pull Wu Laosan: "Let's go, let's go to the commune. I have to ask the leader to judge me. My mother died young and was the head of the family. She worked so hard to raise three children to grow up, and now she has to be punished." A rogue is holding a pot of shit."

The shriveled old Liu was in a state of distress, and quickly persuaded her: "Sister-in-law, calm down, it's the third child who has nothing to hide, I'll help you teach him a lesson."

From the bottom of my heart, I scolded Widow Liu's three children for being ignorant, and they didn't know to come out and take a look when there was such a commotion.

The shriveled old Liu shouted loudly: "We came here for the important matter of stealing grain seeds. If we can't find this thief today, our entire brigade will be criticized. That's no joke."

"It's not that one or two soybean seeds are missing, it's [-]% missing. It can't be that they were eaten by mice."

"With so many seeds missing, what will happen to this year's autumn harvest? Can everyone still eat oil? What he is harming is the interests of the entire brigade, and the interests of the country!"

"Comrades, this is not a trivial matter. This is bad elements digging into the corners of socialism. We must find this mouse, and we cannot let a mouse poop ruin a pot of porridge."

"That's right!" Unexpectedly, Gu Mingdong was the first to respond to the captain's call.

Gu Mingdong stood on the steps and shouted loudly: "Fellow folks, my Gu family has eight generations of poor peasants, with the blood of martyrs flowing. We must not allow such bad elements to exist. Let us work together to pull out this mouse and trample it to death!"

"Okay!" The onlookers applauded immediately, and the crowd was excited.

The shriveled old Liu frowned, looked up at Gu Mingdong, and felt that he seemed to be a different person.

Soon, he realized something was wrong: "This... Ah Dong, Mr. Wu said he saw that you stole the soybeans."

Wu Laosan immediately shouted: "Yes, I saw it, it is Gu Mingdong."

"Captain, you must speak with evidence. Everyone knows that Mr. Wu has always been against me. Who knows if he deliberately retaliated." Gu Mingdong said lightly.

The shriveled old Liu looked at Wu Laosan: "Lao San, do you have any evidence?"

Where does Wu Laosan have any evidence: "Old Gu's family is the poorest in our brigade. The poor daughters-in-law are all starving to death. Who else would steal food from the public house?"

"What's wrong with our family being poor? The poorer you are, the more honorable you are, I think you are the bad guy!" Gu Erdi retorted.

Wu Laosan shouted again: "You are the tallest in Dahe Village, who else is not you, I can't be wrong."

"You're a fool, how do you know you read it right? Besides, you have a grudge against me, so it's not impossible to deliberately spread rumors and slander."

Things suddenly stalemate here.

Gu Mingdong looked at the captain, and suddenly asked: "Captain, when were the soybeans planted, when were they stolen, and when were they discovered?"

"The soybeans were only planted yesterday, and today I found that the seeds are missing. They must have been stolen last night." The old Liu said with a bitter face.

Soybeans will germinate soon after being planted in this season, and if you want to steal grain to grow, you can only take advantage of the time when it has just been planted.

Gu Jianguo listened to their conversation, and reminded: "There are so many soybeans, it is impossible to eat them all in one meal, just search to see if there are any left."

The faces of the Gu brothers and sisters changed, and they became stiff.

Although there are no soybeans in the house, there is grain of unknown origin!

Gu Sanmei subconsciously grabbed Gu Erdi, and almost sat down without her legs giving up, shouting from the bottom of her heart.

Second Brother Gu was also tense, but fortunately, it was dark and no one noticed their strangeness.

Who knew that Gu Mingdong's eyes patrolled the faces of the villagers present, not only did not stop him, but nodded.

Agreeing: "Since someone has reported my family, please come in and search it carefully. Although our Gu family is poor, we have backbone and will never steal anything."

After finishing speaking, he moved away: "Captain, third uncle, I don't trust others, but I trust you, you come in and search in person."

The shriveled old Liu glanced at Gu Jianguo, nodded and said, "Ah Dong, then I will search carefully, so that I can return your innocence."

Gu Jianguo didn't say a word, but also walked in.

Wu Laosan also wanted to go in with him, but was stopped by Gu Mingdong.

Wu Laosan squinted his eyes and asked: "Gu Mingdong, what do you mean, are you afraid that I will find out?"

Gu Mingdong said indifferently: "Wu Laosan celebrates the festival with me, and his character is not good, so I can't trust him."

Third Aunt Liu immediately shouted: "Old Man Wu, what are you going to do when you go in, as long as you have the captain and Jianguo."

Wu Laosan had no choice but to stay outside angrily, and shouted at the shriveled old Liu: "Uncle, you have to watch carefully, and don't let any bad guy go!"

The crumpled old Liu turned his head and glared at him, lest he continue talking nonsense.

Gu Simei had already heard the movement, she pulled the two twins and stood at the door, trembling all over, and seemed to block their way with her own strength.

Gu Mingdong followed them and walked back, stretched out his hand as if to push lightly, then pushed Gu Simei aside with a gesture that could not be refused, and comforted him: "Is Xiaobei scared, don't worry, you are not afraid of the shadow slanting. "

Gu Simei almost didn't cry, she was upright and not afraid of the shadows slanting, but their shadows were almost knotted, there were so many grains of unknown origin at home, it was over now.

If she had known this, she would cook more at night, and everyone would still be a full ghost.

The old Liu went straight to the kitchen and saw that the stove was empty. Apparently the Gu family didn't have an iron pot, only an earthen stove with an earthen pot on it.

In the kitchen there was a cabinet with peeling paint, and old Liu said, "Ah Dong, open it and have a look."

Gu Sanmei just felt her heart was going to jump out of her throat. The food brought back by her eldest brother was inside, and she put it in with her own hands!

The second brother Gu kept exerting force on the stick, struggling in his heart. Should he rush over and knock the captain unconscious with the stick, or stand up and take the blame.

Gu Mingdong opened the cabinet without hesitation, and opened the door for them to see.

I saw that the dilapidated cupboard was empty except for a few broken bowls and chopsticks.

The brothers and sisters of the Gu family's hanging hearts suddenly fell to the ground, and the next moment they raised them again. The food was obviously put in the cabinet, so why is it gone?

The shriveled old Liu nodded, but Gu Jianguo frowned.

The two of them checked carefully, inside and out, and the Gu family saw no other food except for a basket of wild vegetables.

There was nothing unusual in the house, but Gu Mingdong's house was in a mess. He explained to himself that his wife had just died and no one cleaned it up, so he just opened the box and was tossing about today.

The boxes were all open, which saved old Liu the effort to open them one by one.

Seeing the end, the crumpled old Liu felt a little sympathetic to the old Gu's family. They were so poor that the whole family couldn't find a single meal.

At the end, the old Liu walked out with a dark face: "Third brother, you misread the wrong person in the middle of the night, hurry up and apologize to Ah Dong."

Wu Laosan exclaimed, "How is that possible!"

Just now he clearly heard Wang Mazi muttering, did the old Gu's family get the food by luck, otherwise how could Gu's second son run so fast, it doesn't look like he is not full.

Apart from the soybean field that had just had its grain seeds stolen, where else could the Gu family get food?

The flat old Liu blamed him for not knowing how to measure, because he made a false accusation because of that little personal grievance, and he was even angrier when he heard it: "I looked inside and out with Jianguo, and there was not a single soybean."

Gu Jianguo also raised his voice, and said loudly: "The Gu family has no soybeans, so they were wronged."

The members of the onlookers immediately discussed:

"I knew the old Gu's family couldn't steal anything."

"Anyway, it's a martyr's family, and its roots are red."

"Wu Laosan is really not a thing, can this be nonsense?"

"But the soybean seeds are indeed missing. It's not the old Gu's family. Who stole them?"

Amidst the discussion, Wu Laosan's face became more and more ugly.

At this time, Gu Mingdong was standing on the steps, looking down at him, his eyes were full of malice.

Wu Laosan secretly thought it was bad, turned around and wanted to run.

But I heard Gu Mingdong's voice from behind: "Captain, the reputation of the old Gu family has been wiped clean, but the thief hasn't been found yet, and everyone can't sleep peacefully. I have a way to dig out this bad guy." !"
