"Brother! Are you alright, brother?" Chang Hao ran fast, rushing into the crowd like a small cannonball, standing in front of Chang Le, looking up nervously to observe his brother's expression, for fear that his brother would suffer and be wronged.
Chang Le saw him here, his eyes brightened slightly, and he shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
Chang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the crowd, and finally frowned and asked a man in his early forties, "Uncle Village Chief, what happened?"
His brother can't speak, even if he is reasonable when he encounters something, he can't speak clearly, and others can't understand his gestures, so he will suffer. Chang Hao had met him a few times, and now he was extremely nervous when he saw someone surrounding his brother.
At this moment, Grandpa Chang also arrived, squeezed into the crowd, stood in front of the two grandsons, blocked them faintly, and asked the people around: "What happened? What are you doing all around me?" !
Seeing the grandfather and grandson coming, someone said, "Hey, Chang Hao and his grandfather are here, we can figure it out."
Chang Hao's uncle, Wenli, was also present. He still remembered what the two brothers Chang Le and Chang Hao showed him yesterday. Seeing that Chang Le was surrounded by people, he didn't plan to step forward to help. He folded his arms and watched the crowd outside. .
At this time, seeing the old man and Chang Hao coming, he immediately pushed through the crowd into the middle, and said to the old man, "Dad, you have come. Brother Le doesn't know what happened again."
Grandpa Chang glared at Wen Li and said coldly: "What can Xiaole cause? You can't expect him to order it!"
Chang Hao also glanced at his uncle in disgust, and then looked at the village chief.
The village chief coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "Don't talk, everyone, be quiet!"
When the village chief spoke, the villagers all fell silent and looked at him.
The village chief looked at the grandfather and grandson and said, "Uncle, it's like this. When we came to the fields in the afternoon, we saw Le Geer pressing a man from another village, pressing him down to the ground and not letting him go. You guys I know, Brother Le didn't speak, and we don't know the reason. The man kept scolding Brother Le again, saying that he held him down inexplicably. No, we've been fighting, we'll wait for you to come and give it to us Ask Brother Le what happened."
When Chang Le was a child, because of his health, he was very introverted and did not often communicate with the villagers. That is, after the death of his parents, he had to provoke the burden of the family, forcing himself to deal with outsiders, and gradually became more cheerful.
Although so many years have passed, no one in the village can understand his gestures except for his grandfather and younger brother. At this moment, the villagers also counted on the grandfather and grandson to translate.
When the village chief was talking, Yu Qingze finally approached, squeezed into the crowd, and stood beside Grandpa Chang.
Hearing the village chief's words, Chang Hao, Grandpa Chang, and Yu Qingze discovered that Chang Le was grabbing a man's wrist with one hand and holding him tightly, unable to move.
The man was dark and tall, but he had a pair of inverted triangular eyes, and the clothes in front of him were covered in mud. When he saw the mute relatives coming over, he immediately let out harsh words.
"I said it was this dumb man who was going crazy, inexplicable! I didn't do anything, I was just passing this way, and I was caught by him! My wrist is about to be snapped! Please let him let me go! Otherwise, I will talk to you. You are not finished!"
The man was very tall, a head taller than Chang Le, and a large circle in size, but he couldn't break free from Chang Le's hand even though he died.
Some villagers around said: "It's impossible for Brother Le to hold you for no reason. You must have done something to offend him!"
"Yes, Brother Le never causes trouble! Come on, what have you done!"
Someone next to him said angrily: "That's not good, maybe what did Brother Le do?"
Some villagers immediately retorted: "Huzi, you can't say that because your chickens pecked the vegetables grown by Le Ge'er's house and then he drove him out. We can all see Le Ge'er's character. where?"
"What do you mean? What do you say! How can I be such a stingy person!"
"Then I don't know."
"… "
There was a quarrel here, and the triangular-eyed man over there was dumbfounded.
"What? Brother!" When the triangular-eyed man heard that it was a brother who caught him, he glared at Chang Le as if he had seen a ghost. Is a brother so powerful? !
Immediately, he rolled his eyes and scolded Chang Le: "You said that your brother will hold on to a man, so shameless? Ah! Hurry up and let me go!"
Chang Le glanced at him, his hands were silently exerting force, and the crowd onlookers heard the man shout, "Ouch, oh, it's about to break, it's about to break".
Everyone laughed. Brother Le is born with divine power, and this man is not afraid to provoke him. Should!
"Come on! What dirty things did you do to offend Brother Le!"
The man screamed strangely: "What am I doing? Which eye did you see what I was doing? Even if you didn't see it, you opened your mouth and sprayed shit!"
The villager was also violent. When he was scolded, he rushed up and wanted to kick the triangular-eyed man, but the man next to him quickly grabbed him with his eyes and hands.
"Okay, don't make any noise for now!" The village chief roared and became quiet. The village chief looked at Chang Le and said, "Brother Le, tell me what's going on."
A circle of people watched Chang Le helplessly, waiting for him.
Chang Le glanced at his right hand. If he wanted to say something clearly, he had to gesture with both hands, but he was afraid that if he let go of his hand, the person would run away and someone would grab him.
"I'll grab him, you tell Xiao Hao." Yu Qingze walked to Chang Le, grabbed the man's hand with one hand, and said to Chang Le.
Chang Le glanced at Yu Qingze suspiciously.
Yu Qingze laughed, he was underestimated by Chang Le. So, he handed the wooden crutch to Chang Hao to help him hold it, grabbed the man's other wrist, grabbed the man's hand, clasped the man's hand behind his back, and easily got the man to his knees.
The man let out an ouch, his body involuntarily knelt down, and wanted to stand up, but his shoulders were pressed and his wrists were tightly clasped, so he couldn't stand up.
"What are you doing! I didn't do anything, and there is no king!" The man shouted.
"Be honest!" Yu Qingze lifted his injured leg and put one knee on the man's back, holding the man firmly.
"Good skills!" The villagers cheered when they saw Yu Qingze's neat hands.
Chang Le also stared at it with wide eyes, with an incredible look on his face. He just used brute force to control this man, but Yu Qingze just pulled and pressed it, and he easily got it!
awesome!
"Wow! Big Brother Yu, you can still kung fu!" The young Chang Hao looked at Yu Qingze with admiration in his eyes!
Not only does it taste delicious, but it also works hard! Amazing!
The two brothers' minds were in sync, and Chang Le thought so too. He secretly admired them and admired Yu Qingze's two hands.
Seeing that the man didn't move, Yu Qingze raised his eyes and smiled at Chang Le, "Brother Le, you can let go."
Chang Le's face blushed slightly, he began to doubt others, and now...
He quickly let go of his hand, then turned his head and began to show Chang Hao what happened.
Chang Hao looked at his brother's gesture, nodded from time to time, and his face flashed with anger. Grandpa Chang also looked at the kneeling man with disgust.
The villagers couldn't understand Chang Le's gestures, but they understood the expressions of the grandfather and grandson, and their faces suddenly became solemn. The expressions of Wen Li and that Huzi Ah Me, who were originally holding on to watch the fun, also changed.
This man must have done something bad and didn't run away!
After a while, Chang Le stopped. The villagers looked at Chang Hao.
Chang Hao turned his head, pointed his hand at the man, and said to everyone, "Uncle Village Chief, uncles and uncles, my brother said, this man is going to steal cattle!"
What? Steal cows
Cattle are their most precious possessions! There are 40 or 50 households in the whole village, and there are eight cattle in total. Except for the three large households that have one cattle each, several other households buy cattle together, and many of them can’t afford to buy cattle together!
This ploughing and ploughing, pulling mills and pulling goods, is all counting on cattle. This man is going to steal cattle!
The villagers were annoyed and glared at the man.
"Pull it to the official! This kind of person should be imprisoned for the rest of his life!"
"Yes! Send it to the government!"
Stealing cattle is a felony.
When the triangular-eyed man heard it, he became anxious and hurriedly denied it.
"Nonsense! I didn't steal the cow! I am, I am..." The man was in a hurry and couldn't find an excuse for a while. , that's right, that's what happened!"
When everyone heard his stammering words, and then looked at his guilty expression and eyes, they didn't need to ask again.
Stealing cattle did not run!
With a solemn expression on his face, the village chief asked Chang Hao cautiously, "What's going on? Explain it clearly."
Chang Hao replied: "My brother came early in the afternoon. When he just crossed the creek to the intersection, the man was pulling the rope of the buffalo in the pool, and the buffalo had already been brought ashore by him. When he comes, he will definitely drive the cow away! When my brother saw that this man didn't know him, he walked over. When he saw my brother, he ran away, and my brother chased him all the way here and caught him!"
When the village chief heard the 'buffalo in the water pool' at the intersection, his heart tightened. Isn't that his buffalo!
"Nonsense! I didn't steal a cow!" The triangular-eyed man never thought that the mute would be able to say this, and he never thought that the little brat would say it right. But he must not admit this crime, otherwise the rest of his life will be over. He struggled desperately, trying to break free, he had to get out quickly.
"Be honest!" Although Yu Qingze's left foot was injured, it didn't affect his skills. He pressed the man down with all his strength, "I didn't steal you and run away! What's the panic! I'm guilty of being a thief!"
That is, I didn't steal what you ran! The villagers were in full agreement.
Chang Hao snorted coldly, pointed towards the intersection, and said to the village chief, "Uncle the village chief, what he wants to steal is your big water buffalo. Look, my basket is still there."
Everyone looked over there, and in the water pool next to the intersection, a cow showed its head, and there was indeed a load of baskets on the roadside. After the cow was freed, it now retreated back into the pool to enjoy the coolness, with only one head exposed, soaking in a comfortable bath, without the slightest sense of danger that it was almost stolen.
It was confirmed that it was his own water buffalo, and the village chief was also angry.
He glared fiercely at his third son, he couldn't even look at the bull, what's the use of you!
Knowing that he was in trouble, the third son of the village chief who was hiding behind the crowd was stared at by his father's eyes, and his body shook. I'm going to be beaten today.
The evidence is conclusive, and there are both personal and physical evidence. The village chief waved his hand, "Tie it up and send it to the government!"
A few men immediately found a rope and tied the cattle thief firmly. When he was about to be sent off to the government, Chang Le suddenly remembered that the cow thief was carrying a big bag when he escaped, so he ripped off his brother's clothes and told him.
"Wait." Chang Hao stopped the village chief and the others, and said, "My brother said that the big sack over there belongs to this person."
A villager slid over the bag by the pool, opened it, and found that there were strings of rice ears cut from half the bag by a knife.
"Wow, this little thief, not only steals cattle, but also steals millet!"
A few villagers couldn't help but rushed up and kicked the cow thief a few times. If they didn't kick, they would not be able to relieve their anger!
Among them is that tiger. He said, how could he see some of the rice ears in his field being cut off? It turned out to be the thief!
The cow thief shrunk, thinking straight in his heart that he was really unlucky to meet a dumb dude with a strange power today. He originally wanted to steal some millet, and he stole half a bag. When he saw the buffalo in the water pool, the cow herder fell asleep again, and he became a thief. Unexpectedly, he was caught.
Cattle thieves can't think of a better life in this life.
The village chief brought a few men to carry the cattle thief around to the government. Chang Le went there as a party and a witness to catch the thief, and Chang Hao also went together as an interpreter.
Grandpa Chang was worried that the two grandsons also wanted to go together, but Chang Le stopped him. It takes more than an hour to go back and forth to the county seat, and I still don't know what to do. Grandpa is old, and he is reluctant to run around.
So, Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze stayed behind to thresh the millet. Without two laborers, the two did not finish the field, and there was only one left to fight tomorrow. Chang Le didn't go home, so the threshing machine was left in the field and didn't come back.
The Chang Le brothers really came back very late, and it was already past Xu Shi (9 o'clock in the evening).
There was a meal for them at home, and Chang Hao told the story of their going to the yamen while eating, his little face was very excited.
For the first time in my life, I entered the county government office and went to court to punish the bad guys!
Still a very important translator! Very proud to have wood!
Chang Le was eating, watching his brother helplessly shaking his head and smiling.
According to Chang Hao, the cow thief wanted to run away on the road, but was chased and kicked by the villagers in a few steps. Later, fearing that he would be a demon again, Chang Le simply carried the prisoner directly to the county office.
When it came to court, the cow thief refused to admit his guilt at first, and bluntly said that he was framed by the mute. After Chang Le made a gesture, Chang Hao translated it again, the county magistrate verified the testimony one by one, and gave the cattle thief dozens of boards, and the cattle thief was honest.
"Grandpa, Big Brother Yu, you don't know, that cattle thief can be bad or bad." Chang Hao swallowed a mouthful of rice, mysteriously intriguing.
Yu Qingze asked cooperatively, "Why is it broken?"
Chang Hao told them very kindly, "The cow thief turned out to be a habitual thief. This is not the first time for him. He has robbed all the villages in this area recently, and he went to take advantage of everyone's nap and night time at noon. Cutting people's ears of rice. According to his account, he has already stolen seven or eight bales of millet! Before that, he was imprisoned for a year for stealing things.
Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze were both surprised that they had caught a habitual thief.
"That's right! The magistrate even praised my brother!" Chang Hao raised his chest proudly, as if he was praising him.
Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze looked at him funny, Chang Le patted his brother angrily. Make you babble!
Yu Qingze teased him: "Really, how did you praise it?"
Chang Hao ignored his brother's beating, his face collapsed, his hands were flat on his lap, his face instantly serious, and he pressed his voice to learn the words of the county magistrate: "Niutou Village Changle is very good at catching thieves. According to the law, I will be rewarded with money."
He learned well and made a few people laugh. However, the county government actually awarded the consistent money! Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze were quite surprised.
Over there, Chang Le put down the tableware, took out a cloth bag from his pocket, put it on the table, opened it, and the copper coins lay quietly on the cloth.
Consistently, the money can cover the expenses of ordinary farmers for half a year.
When everyone had enough appreciation and fun, Chang Le wrapped up the money and handed it to Grandpa Chang.
Grandpa Chang waved his hand and let Chang Le put it away with a smile.
After Chang Hao was finished, he said to Grandpa Chang, "Grandpa, the village chief said that in the future we will need cattle, so he will go to his house and lend it to us first."
Grandpa Chang smiled and said, "That's ok, we will be able to plow the fields faster in the future."
The thief was caught, praised and rewarded, and everyone was very happy.
Yu Qingze looked at the wooden board in his hand, and his plan was about to speed up!
The author has something to say: Let me talk about the issue of salutation. I am afraid that some people will be confused about some salutations in the future, so I will use an analogy that everyone can understand.
Grandpa, uncle, uncle, uncle, brother, brother, these are the same.
Youngest = grandma;
Ah Me = mother;
uncle = aunt;
Bomo = aunt;
wai=grandmother;
Uncle = aunt;
brother-in-law = sister-in-law;
brother-in-law = younger brother-in-law;
There is no problem with sisters and sisters, they are all brothers and sisters.
Then, about the identities of out-married brothers, aunts and aunts, because there are basically no relevant characters in this article, I will not talk about it.
In fact, I really can't think of how to call my aunt and aunt, so I'm lazy... ╮(╯▽╰)╭
