The reason why Li Feng came to join Li Zheng and the others by such a coincidence was because they found traces of wolves after they entered the mountain. The presence of wolves in the mountains not too far from the village is not a good thing for the villagers, so Li Feng and the others followed the traces left by the wolves all the way, and only then did they meet Lizheng and the others who entered the mountain from another direction. hit the top.
After he came back, Li Feng had no time to relax. He originally took time to go to the mountains. He didn’t have time to go to the mountains a few years ago, but now there are wolves that can’t keep them and other wolves and beasts will invade the village. The dozen or so wolves are probably just As part of a group, wolves are born to hold grudges, and they cannot help but chase down because they smell the smell left by the villagers in the mountains.
Lizheng discussed with Li Feng and other hunters, and decided to lay traps in the mountains first, and send people to patrol regularly. Once wolves and other beasts were found, they would organize a large number of young and middle-aged men to enter the mountains to plunder.
Even if there is no organization in the village, Li Feng has already planned to set up layers of traps on the edge of the back mountain. He doesn't want the results of his business with Brother Ming for so long to be destroyed by wild beasts that suddenly break in, and the mountain There are also several families living there, and their safety needs to be taken care of.
Uncle Tie Shu Da and the others also put down the things at hand for the time being, busy with Li Feng, even Uncle Zhao Liu came to follow along, and Da Shan and the others were assigning other experienced hunters to deploy in another place. trap.
When the whole Pingshan Village was busy, Tang Chunming's time to take off his filial piety, or also known as the time to get rid of his clothes, came.
At this time, Zhao Pingchuan, the youngest of the Zhao family who hadn't seen him for a long time, also came back.
&&&
"Where's your eldest brother? Why didn't you come back with him?" Zhao Laomo was indescribably happy when she saw Zhao Laosan came back with a smile on her face, but she was taken aback and asked sharply, "Why did you lose weight? How does Da Niu take care of you?"
He knew why his son rushed back here, not because of that dead ghost second child, if people are dead, he didn't take this ceremony of removing uniforms seriously at all, but the third uncle told him that he couldn't He reluctantly asked Wang Chunhua to prepare things because of other people's excuses. Thinking about Wang Chunhua asking him for money for this, he almost broke his teeth.
"Brother? He didn't come back? I thought he came back early."
Judging from his son's reaction, no matter how slow-witted Mrs. Zhao was, she noticed something was wrong, especially Wang Chunhua. Mo, I'm looking forward to Zhao Daniu's return, but what does it mean to come back early? "Didn't Daniel stay in the city to serve you? Why are you a brother? Well, now the whole family has been tossed about by you, Mr. Zhao!" Wang Chunhua was about to go crazy.
The Zhao family was flustered because of Zhao Laosan's return. After confronting the third uncle, they found out that the money that the third uncle and Zhao Laomo asked Zhao Daniu to carry had never been delivered to Zhao Laosan. If he hadn't left some money in his own hands because he passed the exam at the beginning, otherwise the life in the county school in the second half of the year would not be easy at all. Although he didn't publicize it publicly, he knew everything he should know secretly. Mr. Bo, even the county magistrate didn't have a good impression of him, so he was excluded a lot.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't find Zhao Daniu's person, so she vented all her grievances on Wang Chunhua. Wang Chunhua was not easy to provoke, so she turned her finger on Zhao Laosan, who wanted someone from Zhao Laosan. Zhao Daniu went to the county because of him. , Now that the person is gone, who do you look for if you look for Zhao Laosan? Zhao Laosan forced Zhao Dahu to death, so now he still wants to kill Zhao Daniu.
The Zhao family was full of quarrels, and no one thought about whether to send someone to the county to look for Zhao Daniu, and now it was life or death.
Therefore, when Tang Chunming arrived at Zhao Dahu's grave with his two children and a large pile of offerings, there was no sign of the Zhao family. But he didn't care, the Zhao family didn't inform him before, and he didn't ask the Zhao family what to do, he just went through all the procedures that should be done so that others would not make excuses.
When Tang Chunming passed through the village with a bunch of things, many people saw them. Looking at the things Tang Chunming had prepared, they were all complete, and they probably cost a lot of money. Ah Lin also changed into brightly colored clothes and put on a filial cloth today. Little Asen, who was held in Wang Ying's arms, also put on a filial cloth. It's an irrelevant person, anyway, he has never even met his biological father.
Li Feng stayed at home and didn't come out, and didn't go to Zhao Dahu's grave to obstruct Zhao Dahu's eyes.
Ah Lin walked beside Grandmother, and Wang Ying hugged Ah Sen and walked beside Tang Chunming, saying in a low voice, "Why haven't you seen anything from the Zhao family? Their family doesn't know about Dahu's life, right?"
"It seems that Zhao Laosan is back, and he shouldn't forget the days. He is now in the county school, just like the third uncle. Zhao Dahu is his elder brother. He will definitely handle this matter in a decent manner. It’s true. But they do theirs, I do mine, and I just finish what I should help.” Tang Chunming said indifferently, he knew about the return of Zhao Laosan, but the Zhao family broke out. He was not too clear about another war, mainly because a bunch of things took up most of his energy, so he couldn't care less about other people's affairs.
"That's right, that old guy is the most disgusting." Wang Ying didn't have a good impression of the old man, the third uncle. In his opinion, this old guy was worse than someone like Zhao Laomo, who was bad for face. He is ruthless, and he can fight back in the same way, but what the old guy did can't make people fight back immediately.
Tang Chunming sneered, and said, "I'm afraid that he will end up empty-handed in fetching water from the bamboo basket. Let's wait and see the show." He dared to say that no matter whether Zhao Laosan wins or loses in the end, the third uncle will not get any benefits. Someone like Zhao Laosan, if he climbed up by himself, would he really support his tribe? If you ask Tang Chunming, he is the most selfish and ruthless person, even his own brothers can treat him like that, let alone relatives? Being so close to Third Uncle now is just to see that the old man is still useful.
Tang Chunming didn't say too many extra words, A Lin was very precocious, maybe it was related to his experience, maybe it was because of the space, so Tang Chunming also paid attention not to say anything about Zhao Dahu in front of him, so as not to let that person especially It was the Zhao family who intervened in their lives again. After this ceremony, the Zhao family and Zhao Dahu would fade away even more in their house.
Going to the grave to kowtow can be regarded as a complete blood relationship between the two children and that person. For the rest, let's talk about the two children when they grow up. He doesn't think that the children he raised with Li Feng will really regard this blood relationship as more important than the grace of birth.
If so, it's not his child anymore.
Zhao Dahu's grave was of course buried with the ancestors of the Zhao family, but the people of the Zhao family had not moved to Pingshan Village for too long, so there were only a few sparse graves, and the closest one was Father Zhao Yes, but no one came over for more than half a year, and the grave was covered with grass, so Tang Chunming had to clean up the weeds on the grave first.
Looking at the small hill protruding from the ground, Tang Chunming curled his lips. It was not Zhao Dahu who was buried in it at all, but the bones and rags he found and the clothes of Zhao Dahu's life. In other words, this is actually just a tomb of clothes. .
Tang Chunming has experienced several funerals in his two lifetimes. Comparing his original memory and asking the villagers and stepmother in advance, the funeral ceremony Tang Chunming held in another space is not too different, especially when he is here. , It is just a formality and there is no need to make a big deal.
Apart from the initial curl of the lips, Tang Chunming's attitude was quite serious, as if he was doing his best for the original body. If there really was a hell, the couple should have met long ago. I don't know what it would be like. I have true feelings for Zhao Dahu, otherwise I wouldn't have been hit so hard by repeated encounters that my body couldn't bear to die, but how the people of the Zhao family treated them, originally I also had resentment in my heart. While offering sacrifices to Zhao Dahu, Tang Chunming also regarded it as a sacrifice to the original body, and hoped that the original body could re-introduce a good fetus, and that he would not meet someone like Zhao Dahu again in his next life. He would definitely raise his two children well.
The flames lit up, smoke rose into the sky, and lingered over the cemetery for a long time, but it seemed as if Tang Chunming's voice was heard again, a gust of wind blew, and the smoke quickly dispersed, and the sky outside was clear, as if foretelling the days to come , maybe it was Yuanshen's blessing to his two sons again.
"Come on, kowtow in this direction, and then throw Xiaobu into the fire." Tang Chunming pointed to the direction where the smoke dissipated and said to A Lin.
Ah Lin is also very obedient today. When Grandma is weeding, he helps Grandma by her side. Even with his strength, he can't pull out a single weed for a long time. When Grandma places sacrifices, he obediently stands aside Help, sensible enough to make people feel distressed.
"Okay, mother." Alin acted according to her words, and now she was raised by Tang Chunming with a round body and thick clothes, and she did the actions Tang Chunming said earnestly but with difficulty, which showed Tang Chunming's mood Immediately he got better, and there was a smile in the corner of his eyes. When A Lin threw the filial cloth on his body into the fire and came back to him and raised his head and eyes brightly to beg for praise, Tang Chunming smiled and patted his head.
Wang Ying also embraced little Asen and bowed to the grave, and then removed the filial cloth on him as well.
The last one is Tang Chunming.
Little Asen is carefree, waving his little paws and smiling. There are less times to take him out to play in the cold weather. Today he is the happiest to be able to go out and let the wind go.
"Let's go, let's go back, your Uncle Feng can wait at home." Tang Chunming pinched little Asen's nose, then took Alin's hand and said, the group turned and walked out in the opposite direction from the grave.
When they were about to leave the area of the cemetery, they saw people from the Zhao family appear. The team was not small. In addition to Zhao Laomo and Zhao Laosan, there was also the big family of the third uncle, the old and the young plus one. There were more than a dozen people, Tang Chunming picked up Ah Lin and his stepmother to make way for them, and they were too many to let them pass first.
This group of people had different expressions when they saw Tang Chunming, some were indifferent, some were eager to come up and take a bite, some were so jealous that their eyes glistened, and of course there were those who were so ashamed that they wanted to hide their faces, Tang Chunming and Wang Ying glanced at each other. Sweeping over and seeing everything in my eyes, I couldn't help laughing.
Seeing the expressions of Mrs. Zhao and Wang Chunhua, several households wished to stay away from these people. Although they couldn't make it too obvious, they obviously slowed down and put some distance away from these people. Seeing Brother Ming's life getting better and better, they were extremely envious in their hearts. In their view, instead of waiting for Zhao Laosan's illusory future that will be realized someday, it is better to follow Brother Ming. The benefits are right in front of them. You can get it, but the third uncle just restricted them from having any contact with Brother Ming.
However, one family secretly went to Lizheng to buy wheat seeds for an acre of land, and did not let the family members spread their voices to the third uncle. The third uncle couldn't care about their family's food and grain problems.
