It was almost noon when the family of three returned to the village. Song Dashan drove the donkey cart into the yard and was about to go to the kitchen to cook. Aunt Zhao rushed in and saw that they had finally returned, and hurriedly said, "Dashan, You guys are finally back, go and have a look, your seedling field has been dug up by someone who kills thousands of knives, and the water has been drained."
Song Dashan was startled, and immediately said to Li Mo: "I'll go to the field first to see what's going on."
Aunt Zhao pulled him back, "Don't worry, your Uncle Zhao passed by your field when he went to the field today, and he happened to see that the seedling field was already dry, so he hurriedly drained water upstream of your house and blocked the opening Fortunately, Uncle Zhao saw it, otherwise your seedling field would be over, and I don’t know which wicked person did it!”
Li Mo was also in a hurry. Song Dashan had spent a long time planting those seedlings. Although they were not many, they were considered one of the few grains in the family.
"I'll go and have a look too." Li Mo said, picked up Xiaobao and followed Song Dashan.
The family went to the field again, walked around the ridge, and saw that there was a big hole dug in a place, and the newly filled soil was still wet, which should have been filled by Uncle Zhao.
Li Mo asked worriedly: "Brother Dashan, I don't know who did it. Will we secretly come here to release water while we are not at home? If we continue to release water like this, this year's rice will not be harvested."
Song Dashan also thought of this, his face was ugly, and he was thinking about who it might be.
Li Mo thought of a certain possibility, her heart moved, and she said, "Brother Dashan, look, could it be someone over there who did it?"
She was referring to Song Dazhu and the others. The trouble last time was very unpleasant, and Song Dazhu completely lost face. Could it be that they held a grudge and did this on purpose.
Song Dashan pursed his lips tightly after listening, and said after a while: "Now we have no evidence, even if we know who did it, there is nothing we can do, unless we catch people on the spot."
Li Mo also understands this truth, but he doesn't know when that person will come again, is he guarding the field all day long
The two didn't think of any way, so they had to go home first.
After returning home, Li Mo said: "Brother Dashan, we still need to slowly figure out a solution for this matter. The only thing we can be sure of now is that that person should have gone there while everyone was sleeping. It’s time to dig, in case someone sees it, it will be exposed.”
Song Dashan also agreed with Li Mo's statement, so he went to the field that night to watch to see if he could catch something.
Unfortunately, the night passed without anyone coming.
When Song Dashan went back in the morning, his face was a little tired.
Li Mo looked at it, feeling sad, "Brother Dashan, it's not a solution for you to keep watch all night. Who knows if he will come or not. If he doesn't come, why don't you keep watching? Your body won't be able to bear it."
Song Dashan thought for a while, and said: "There is no other way for the time being, I can only watch it, and I will take a look. Don't worry, I can still survive a few days, I just need to sleep for a while every afternoon, really I can't stand it and I'll be back."
Li Mo didn't think of any other way.
Song Dashan kept guard for another three days, but he still didn't wait for the arrival to come to play tricks again.
Li Mo couldn't help guessing, "Do you think that person knows that we are guarding, so he doesn't plan to do it again?"
Song Dashan thought about it, and shook his head, "If our house is really not pleasing to the eye, it will definitely not be so easy to just release rice field water, because it did not cause any loss to us, it should not be so painless, right? .”
Li Mo felt that what Song Dashan said was reasonable, that person must have known that they were on alert, so he temporarily stopped his movements.
Suddenly, Li Mo thought of a possibility, "Brother Dashan, in addition to rice, our family also has an acre of peanuts, tell me, is it possible..."
Song Dashan was shocked, yes, he only thought of his own seedling field, but never thought of his own peanut field. The seedling field should be filled with water in time, but if the peanut seedlings are dug up, then that acre of peanuts will be completely white. up.
Thinking that he hadn't visited the peanut field for many days, Song Dashan couldn't sit still, he had to go and see it now.
Song Dashan went to the peanut field as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the peanut field has not been murdered, but it is very likely that the person will turn his target to the peanut field. It seems that it is important to guard the peanut field at night.
That night, Song Dashan quietly went to the peanut field, and sat quietly in a recess at the back of the field ridge, where people could hardly see it.
Unfortunately, no one came that night.
Li Mo persuaded Song Dashan to forget it, if he keeps suffering like this, he will be exhausted, so no one cares about the idea of food.
Song Dashan was unwilling to give up, precisely because of this idea of food, and he didn't want to be ruined in a daze without knowing who it was.
This time, Li Mo saw Song Dashan's persistence. She used to listen to her in everything. She thought he had no temper and no opinions. It turned out that she was wrong. He just followed her in everything. .
Li Mo couldn't hold back Song Dashan in this matter, so she could only watch him worryingly as he went to guard the fields every day.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after guarding for a while, Song Dashan finally caught the person who went to the peanut field to plan the seedlings one night.
This time, both Li Mo and Song Dashan guessed wrong. It wasn't the Song family who did it, but the eldest and second sons of Xia Laozhu's family in their village.
At that time, Song Dashan had been nestled in the alcove for more than an hour, and the surrounding was quiet, only the cricket's chirping added a little movement in the night. I thought that there was no harvest tonight, but at this moment, I heard light footsteps and the voices of two people talking.
"Brother, will we be caught?"
"How is it possible, didn't we not be caught last time when we released the water in his rice field?"
"That's right, Song Dashan is still guarding the rice fields at night to catch us. How stupid, may we go and let him catch us again? He never thought that we would transfer to his peanut fields."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's dig quickly, or we won't get any peanuts from his family."
"Brother, do you think we are too vicious? Song Dashan's family seems to have such a small amount of land. If there is no harvest at all, wouldn't it be too miserable?"
"You still feel sorry for him? Why didn't he think of our family when he robbed our family's business? Now no one wants to take our family's car. Our family's income loss is much more than his family's!"
"Okay, let's dig quickly."
As he spoke, there was no more sound, but the sound of hoes and hoes rang out.
Song Dashan had already clenched his fists with anger, and now he knew who it was, and heard the sound of peanut seedlings being dug up, and knew that the best time had come, so he immediately rushed out of the pit at an astonishing speed. Before the person could react, he pushed the two of them to the ground.
If Li Mo was present at this moment, he would not believe that a lame man like Song Dashan would have such amazing speed and explosive power.
Song Dashan's original strength was greater than that of ordinary people, and he had received professional training during his years as a soldier. His skills were not comparable to that of ordinary villagers, so Song Dashan pinched the two sons of the Xia family in the field by the back of their necks. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move, even if the two of them tried together, they couldn't get rid of Song Dashan alone, and his face was covered with mud, and his mouth was full of mud.
Both of them knew in their hearts that they were killed tonight, and couldn't help begging for mercy, "Dashan, we were wrong, please be merciful and let us go, we promise we won't do it next time."
"Dashan, we did this because we didn't have a clear mind for a while. For the sake of a village, please forgive us."
But no matter how the two begged for mercy, Song Dashan ignored them. He didn't believe that he let them go this time, and they knew they were wrong.
Song Dashan took the hemp rope that was specially brought from home from his waist, and tied the two of them tightly together, leaving only one pair of legs to walk. Song Dashan pulled the rope from behind, and pushed the two people towards the Village home to go.
No matter how the two begged for mercy along the way, Song Dashan took them to the village head's house and knocked on the door of the village head's house.
The people in the village had already entered their dreams at this time, and it was estimated that the two Xia brothers with ill intentions and Song Dashan who went to arrest people were awake.
Song Dashan knocked on the door outside for a long time before the village chief's house lit up candles, and a voice came from inside after a while, "Who is it?"
Song Dashan responded, "Village Chief, it's me, Song Dashan, I have something important to ask you."
There was a sound of footsteps inside, and the next second, the village chief in clothes came to open the door, and was surprised when he saw Song Dashan and the two Xia family brothers who were tied up outside the door, "What's the matter? yes?"
Song Dashan said with a sullen face: "Village chief, these two people released water from my seedling field last time, and this time they went to dig my peanut seedlings in my peanut field in the middle of the night, and I caught them on the spot."
The village chief's face darkened when he heard this. People in the village did such wicked things, and it was a disgrace to him as the village chief.
At this time, the village head hurriedly put on his clothes, and asked his old woman to go to Xia Laozhu's house to call people to his house, and then let the door open for Song Dashan to take the two of them home.
After a while, the rest of Xia Laozhu's family came, and a few families in the village were woken up and followed to see the excitement.
Li Mo was also called up by Aunt Zhao, and brought the sleeping Xiao Bao over, and the village chief's house became lively for a while.
Xia Laozhu knew what was going on when he was called by the village head's wife. After all, he ordered his two sons to do it. He thought he wasn't caught releasing the water last time, and he was fine this time, but it didn't Thinking that he was actually caught.
Xia Laozhu felt a beating in his heart, but he still pretended to be ignorant and shocked. When he saw his two sons who were still tied up, he went up and slapped each of them, and said angrily: "You two bastards, why don't you Able to do such a thing that is blinded by lard!"
Mr. Xia wished the eldest son to know what his father was up to when he saw his father's expression, and immediately lowered his head in shame, and obediently admitted his mistake, "Father, we were blinded by lard, and made such a sudden decision in a moment of dizziness. This kind of thing, we know it's wrong, Dashan, we're wrong."
After the eldest son finished speaking, he quietly pushed his younger brother behind his back, telling his stupid younger brother not to expose his father.
Xia Laozhu's second son was awakened by his brother, and he also reacted, lowering his head and admitting his mistake.
At this time, Xia Laozhu turned around and looked at Song Dashan, and said, "Dashan, it's my two bastards who are wrong. I asked them to apologize to you, so you can forgive them."
Song Dashan didn't say what he didn't forgive, but said to the village chief: "Village chief, the two of them said that it was because my family bought a donkey cart and robbed their business, so they held a grudge, so they are going to take it away." My house is ruined."
Hearing this, the village chief looked at Xia Laozhu with a dull look, until his scalp tightened, and then he said: "You bastard, one more donkey cart in the village is for the benefit of everyone. Everyone makes money according to their ability. Could it be that your family is the only one with a donkey cart?"
The village chief was talking about Xia Laozhu openly and secretly, and he had long since disliked Xia Laozhu's attitude. In the past, only his family had a donkey cart, so he didn't say much, but now Song Dashan's family also had one, and he felt the same Very happy.
Xia Laozhu was annoyed when he was told about it, but on his face he put on a look of distraught, and another person slapped his two sons, "You two are so messed up, don't you think it's just because he has a donkey cart? What! How can I have a son like you!"
The village chief also knew that Xia Laozhu was acting up, and he didn't want to watch him teach his son a lesson, so he stopped him directly, "Okay, it's not too late to teach my son a lesson, let's settle this matter first."
The village chief said and looked at Song Dashan, "Dashan, how do you want to solve this matter?"
Song Dashan pursed his lips and said, "This matter cannot be resolved with an apology. Their family has to compensate our family for the loss."
Hearing that Song Dashan wanted to lose money, Xia Laozhu's eldest son simply quit, yelling: "Your family has no losses at all, and we didn't do anything, so why should we pay compensation!"
Xia Laozhu also looked at Song Dashan quite embarrassed, and said: "Dashan, there is indeed no loss in your family, it's not that they two bastards didn't come here, why are they in a hurry."
When Li Mo heard this, she couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately stood up and said, "Village chief, fellow villagers, what Uncle Xia said is nothing to lose, our family absolutely disagrees with it, and they took advantage of us not at home that time I released the water from my seedling field. If Uncle Zhao hadn’t seen it by accident, my seedling field might have dried up. This year there is not a grain of rice, and it will be the same tonight. The rations are gone, so who do we talk to for reasoning?"
After Li Mo finished speaking, she looked at the village chief and continued: "Village chief, because of this matter, my Dashan couldn't sleep every day, and stayed at the head of the field all night for almost half a month. This person It’s all broken, the loss of this body is not a loss? Village chief, you are a notary, can you tell me whether our family should be compensated?”
At this time, the spectators around were accusing the two sons of the Xia family for their immoral deeds, and they all felt that compensation should be made.
The village head nodded and said: "This matter is the fault of the two sons of the Xia family. Dashan's family almost lost their crops, and Dashan couldn't sleep well for half a month because of this. Compensation is due."
When Xia Laozhu heard the village chief's words, his complexion turned sour, but today he admitted his mistake as soon as he came here, with a reasonable look.
It seems that today I can only give up some money.
Xia Laozhu endured the pain in his heart and asked, "Then how much do you think it is appropriate to accompany?"
Song Dashan looked at Li Mo and asked Li Mo to calm down.
Li Mo thought for a while, and said: "We are not the ones who talk like a lion, you can just pay 150 Wen for this matter, but if there is any loss of my family's crops in the future, I will be the first to find you. "
Xia Laozhu was already very angry when he heard the one hundred and fifty Wen coins, and he was even more furious when he heard the last sentence, but what can be done, they have been caught before, and of course they will be the first to think of them if something happens in the future. Today I really lifted a rock and hit myself in the foot.
Enduring the pain, Xia Laozhu gave the one hundred and fifty Wen in front of everyone, and it was over.
Seeing that the matter was over, everyone went back to sleep.
Li Mo and Song Dashan thanked the village chief, and then took Xiaobao home.
Walking on the road, Li Mo sighed with emotion. Originally, she always thought it was the other members of the Song family who did it, but unexpectedly it was Xia Laozhu's family. It seems that the donkey cart incident really made them hate them. I don't dare to tamper with the crops anymore, but I still have to guard against others in person.
