One two eight
Chenxiang and Dachuan came to Sun's house by boat. When they boarded the small pier, they saw a group of people watching and fighting. Four or five men pushed a short and fat man to the ground, you punched him one by one, and shouted: "See if you dare to steal cows!"
Chen Xiang asked a peasant woman next to her: "What's the matter?"
The peasant woman pointed to the pudgy who was rolling on the ground and said, "He is called Sun Hu. He escaped from Sun Chuanfang's army. He was so lazy and so he ran away from his wife. All day long, he was sneaking up on dogs from village to village. You see, the day before yesterday. In the evening, I dared to go to Xiong’s house to steal other people’s cattle and sell them in the town. No, if they were caught by others, if they continue to fight, I think they must be killed!"
"Ah, his name is Sun Hu?" Chen Xiang asked the peasant woman again.
"Yes, he is Sun Hu." The peasant woman replied surely.
"Shall we go to relieve Sun Hu?" Chen Xiang asked Dachuan for advice.
"Okay." Dachuan replied. As they said, they squeezed into the crowd of onlookers and shouted: "Sun Hu should be beaten for stealing your cattle. But now it's dying, you are not afraid of killing?"
"Who are you guys, what's your nostalgia?" One of the older men stood up and pointed to Chenxiang and Dachuan.
"We are his distant relatives, and we are looking for him today!" Chen Xiang replied.
"Then he stole our cows and sold them and spent the money completely, so forget it?" The owner of the cow asked angrily.
"Money is easy to say," Chen Xiang said, "How much is a bull worth? We will compensate him."
"At least twenty silver dollars, one less dollar won't work!" Niu Zhuyu said angrily.
"Yes, no problem." Dachuan replied while paying the owner from the purse.
The cattle owner took the money and left angrily. Onlookers also gradually dispersed.
"You are—" Sun Hu got up from the ground, pointed at Chenxiang and Dachuan, asking in confusion.
"It doesn't matter who we are. Today we are here to announce the good news to you." Chen Xiang said, "This is not a place to talk. Let's go to your house and talk."
"What else would I like?" Sun Hu asked inexplicably, still staring at Chenxiang suspiciously.
"Let's talk about it at home." Dachuan patted Sun Hu's back with his hand.
"Okay. Come with me." With that, Sun Hu patted the mud on his body, turned and left.
