Lu Xiaoshu quietly watched the people in the yamen tossing about in the village, feeling very unhappy, smiling with crooked eyebrows, Xiaoxue couldn't help asking why she was so happy
Lu Xiaoshu laughed flamboyantly and joyfully, and said, "Because it's the Chinese New Year! There are a lot of delicious and fun things to do during the Chinese New Year, and you can get lucky money, so you're happy!"
Xiaoxue was amused when she heard it, and felt that what she said might not be the truth, but she couldn't find anything wrong, so she laughed it off.
Zhou's uncle and second uncle were the first to think of Zhou Si. Under the interrogation of both soft and hard, how could Zhou Si hide it? I had to do it honestly.
Fortunately, he was quite loyal, and he insisted that he did it alone, and Lu Xiaoshu was not involved.
The uncle of the Zhou family believed it, sighed for a while, educated him earnestly, and naturally punished him: endorsement, martial arts.
Uncle Zhou Zhou behind Zhou's back, took Zhou Si to the side and stared at him and asked, "Tell me the truth, who else did this besides you?"
"No, I'm alone!" Zhou Si smiled sincerely and calmly, "Second Uncle, think about it, we don't know each other well here, how can I do this kind of thing with others? Maybe I'll be sold out as soon as I turn around! I'm not that stupid! How could I not even think about it?"
Uncle Tuesday sneered and said, "Really? Ah Si, you know my temper."
"Of course not, how dare I lie to you, Second Uncle!" Zhou Sisi said immediately without thinking.
Uncle Tuesday stared at him with blazing eyes, and said for a while: "A Si, you are already a good city at a young age. If it were someone else, I would believe what you said. But you are me watching When you grow up, you can't lie to me, you know?"
Zhou Si was dumbfounded, and was about to make a distinction when Uncle Zhou snorted, "Don't rush to deny it, my feeling is right! Hmph, as you said, we are newcomers, so how can we find a suitable place to ambush those four people?" So easy? If there is no one to lead the way, how could you do it alone? Huh, what did you and that girl from the Lu family go to the back of the mountain yesterday? Shall I ask her? "
Zhou Si's complexion immediately changed, and he sighed secretly in his heart, second uncle is still so hard to deceive! And I never thought that I was so unlucky that I went up to the mountain with Xiaoshu to bury money yesterday, and he was seen by him!
Zhou Si lowered his eyes slightly and remained silent, feeling a little frustrated. He felt that he had done a good job, but in front of the two uncles, he always seemed so immature.
"Nothing to say?" Uncle Zhou snorted coldly: "Do you know how much trouble this matter will cause if it is revealed? If people in the public family notice us, think about it yourself!"
"Second Uncle, I understand the stakes here, and I will be very careful..." Zhou Si couldn't help distinguishing in a low voice.
"Shut up!" Uncle Tuesday said coldly: "If you really knew the stakes and the seriousness, you would never do such a thing! What does this matter have to do with us? Isn't it just a tael of silver?" Is it? It's not like we can't get it out! Did that girl from the Lu family tease you?"
Before Zhou Si could answer, Uncle Zhou couldn't help but chattered angrily: "It must be that girl! I saw that girl and thought she was not a law-abiding master. A Si, why are you so confused and messing with her?" Together! Leave this matter alone and leave it to me to handle it!"
"Second uncle, what do you want to do!" Zhou Si couldn't help being shocked.
Uncle Zhou Zhou said coldly: "What are you doing? Of course, the surefire way is to silence! Otherwise, what if she wants to leak this matter in front of others and we are still kept in the dark? Although the people from Gongmen have left, but Lizheng is still looking into this matter! Although he doesn't care too much, if a credit is given to him for nothing, do you think he will refuse?"
"No! Second Uncle, no!" Zhou Si suddenly panicked, his expression changed.
Uncle Tuesday ignored him and just sneered.
Zhou Si stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "Second Uncle, I beg you, Xiaoshu will definitely not tell the truth, she will definitely not! Big deal, I will listen to you, and I will never see her again!"
Uncle Tuesday stared at him with heavy eyes, and said for a moment: "It's just a little girl, why are you so nervous about her? Do you know what you are doing? Do you know how dangerous it is!"
Afterwards, Uncle Tuesday's tone turned harsh, but his voice turned sad.
Zhou Si's eyes couldn't help dimming, and he said softly: "Second Uncle, please let her go! Xiao Shu is really not someone who would betray her friends. That day beside the ice lake, she wanted to save others regardless of her own safety. You can see it too. Me, I have never forgotten who I am and what kind of mission I am carrying, but second uncle, I don’t want to become a person who will sacrifice everything for my own benefit, even if it hurts innocent people. I don’t want to become Such a person! Second Uncle, you wouldn't want me to become disrespectful one day, would you?"
Uncle Tuesday's eyes flickered slightly, his expression was a little moved, and he sighed softly for a while: "Forget it, I will spare her this time! Don't forget what you said just now, and don't go to that girl again in the future! You haven't When it comes time to get married, besides, your wife will never be her! Also, "
Uncle Tuesday raised his head, stared at Zhou Si with deep eyes, and said word by word: "Second Uncle doesn't want you to be a person that your relatives don't recognize, but he also doesn't want you to be indecisive. If you don't have the heart to do something Do it, and the second uncle will do it for you. In the second uncle's heart, your safety will always be the first priority, and there will never be anything else that can compare with it. Therefore, when necessary, the second uncle does not have to choose or not No matter right or wrong, you know what to do!"
After Uncle Tuesday finished speaking, he turned his head and strode away.
Zhou Si was stunned for a while, sighed softly, leaned against the big tree beside him, looked up at the faint moonlight in the sky, his eyes gradually became a little blurred.
Uncle Zhou did not spare Zhou Si easily.
The next day, Lu Xiaoshu felt that Zhou Si was actually quite a good guy and ran to find him to play with, only to find that he was digging ice hard on the frozen lake by himself.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help stepping forward curiously, the shovel in his hand was very slender, and the ice layer was also very thick at this time of year, there was only ice foam splashing everywhere, but he only went down into a small hole.
"What are you doing?" Lu Xiaoshu asked curiously.
As soon as Zhou Si turned his head and saw that it was her, the look in his eyes lit up and then darkened, and he still turned his head and said lightly: "Catch the fish."
This was the punishment given to him by Uncle Tuesday, who asked him to fish in the ice for ten consecutive days.
"Catch fish!" Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you two uncles want to eat fish? There are plenty of fish in our fish pond, why don't you go to my house and catch two! The bedding on our fish pond Straw, the water has never frozen, so there is no need to work so hard!"
"No need. This kind of fish under the ice is more delicious." Zhou Si said lightly.
"That's true!" Lu Xiaoshu agreed with this. The water is cold in winter, and the meat of the fish is more compact, and there is no food under the ice, and a lot of body fat is consumed, so it tastes better when eaten.
"You two uncles have really picky tastes!" Lu Xiaoshu giggled, and said, "It's just that there might not be any fish in this river. I'll take you to a place, there must be some fish there!"
Zhou Si couldn't help raising his head and looked at the little girl in front of him. Eyebrows are full, the corner of the mouth is smiling, and the beautiful face is so red and tender that it is almost dripping water, and I can't wait to make people want to go forward and pinch it. He clearly knew that he should reject her, so as not to turn around and have another vicious attack if Uncle Zhou found out.
But facing this face, the words of refusal couldn't be uttered, and he hesitated to agree.
So he looked a little silly like this.
Lu Xiaoshu giggled, patted him with a smile and said, "Why are you in a daze? Are you numb from the cold? Come on, come with me!"
Zhou Si looked around subconsciously, and felt that he didn't find any trace of Uncle Zhou, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" and followed Lu Xiaoshu.
She said to herself secretly in her heart: I dig ice to fish, she just guides me, nothing else...
Lu Xiaoshu took him on a familiar road and shuttled between the valleys, and after about half an hour, he came to a deep pool hidden by green hills.
It is said to be a deep pool, but it has already frozen at this time, and the surface of the pool with a radius of more than two feet is as green as a huge emerald, surrounded by green shrubs and trees that do not fall leaves, reflecting the exceptional cleanliness and freshness of this place.
"What a great place!" Zhou Si couldn't help praising.
Lu Xiaoshu smiled quite complacently: "There are many poisonous snakes and insects in this area on weekdays, and it is backed by Daqing Mountain. From time to time, there will be wild animals coming out of the deep mountain over there, so not many people come! It is extremely deep, so the fish here are also very fat, and there are many! You try to dig a hole, and just come here every day to get ready-made ones!"
Zhou Si couldn't help laughing and said: "You are very courageous, since you know that this place is not peaceful, you dare to come here!"
"I don't come here too often!" Lu Xiaoshu laughed and said, "And even if there are some wild beasts, I think we can avoid them!"
The two couldn't help but looked at each other and laughed.
Lu Xiaoshu sat and waited on the big rock beside him, Zhou Si stepped on the lake and began to chip away at the ice.
Lu Xiaoshu had infinite interest in the three of his uncles and nephews, and kept asking various questions without stopping. Zhou Si was vaguely fooling around before, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he felt helpless, and said with a light sigh: "You better not ask me, I don't want to lie to you, but there are some things that are inconvenient to disclose to you. and,"
He pondered for a while and smiled, "It's not a good thing for you to know, it might even bring disaster."
