Poor family mother and son

Chapter 565 Protecting the Village

After sneaking away the two horses, Chu Qing galloped away with Shui Maomao.

Shui Maomao's riding skills are so-so, seeing that Chu Qing still wants to accommodate his speed, he was a little curious.

Although there are not many women in the south of the Yangtze River who can ride horses, it is not impossible. Like those aristocratic families with martial arts titles, their daughters can also practice riding, and polo is their hobby.

But Chu Qing didn't have that kind of family background and resources, so it's good to know how to ride a horse, but seeing that his riding skills are quite good, it's really admirable.

When they were not far from where the children lived, when the two of them slowed down, Shui Maomao couldn't help but asked, "Aside from riding a horse, what else do you do?"

Chu Qing: "Well...you can write, and you can do laundry and cooking."

Shui Maomao: "I'm not asking this, do you know kung fu?"

Chu Qing: "Not really."

Shui Maomao: "I remember you can fly with one hand... a pen?"

Chu Qing was a little embarrassed: "The boss can't do it."

Shui Maomao: "You or Wei Chengyi, who is better at kung fu?"

Chu Qing laughed: "Then there's no need to ask, he saved my life."

Shui Maomao: "That's different, you also saved his life."

Chu Qing: "Then I'll go back and beat him up to see if I can beat him."

Shui Maomao: "...Farewell, if you are hurt by him, I have to beat him, if he can't beat you, I have to beat him even more, my son is not worth it inside and out."

Chu Qing is happy.

Shui Maomao asked again: "Your skills are all from elementary school?"

Chu Qing: "I didn't have the conditions to learn it when I was young. I learned it from Lao Yu and Zhao and the others a few years ago."

Older than Lao Zhao, Shui Maomao has heard that as long as he says he is older, Xiaobao will compare these two people.

From this point of view, Chu Qing has only learned kung fu for a few years, Shui Maomao said: "They are all alive, maybe your way of living can teach those children."

When Chu Qing saw these girls, he finally understood what it meant to be "not very good tempered".

They kept enough distance from Shui Maomao. Although they were not hostile, they also seemed to be quite resentful.

On the other hand, the younger children regarded Shui Maomao as their relatives, and they were happy to see Shui Maomao, calling "Grandpa, Grandpa".

This place is very remote, it is a deserted village at the foot of the mountain, the pillars of many thatched houses have half-burned traces, but the thatched roofs are relatively new.

Shui Maomao introduced: "Ten years ago, this was a firecracker village. There was an explosion, and people died, so this place was abandoned. Later, it was taken over by the grandsons of the beggar gang."

Pointing to the surroundings: "There is a road leading to the county town on this side, and up the mountain on the other side. The gang of grandsons intercepted good women here when they had nothing to do. We beat them half to death and drove them away. We snatched a place for the children to live in. "

At night, I can't see anything clearly, but there are lights on in each thatched cottage, and the lights don't feel warm.

Chu Qing was a little worried: "Won't the beggar gang come to seek revenge?"

Shui Maomao: "I have been here a few times. We simply planted all the people in the bottom of the river, and only let one go back to report. They will not dare to make mistakes. They are not united at all, even though they are called beggars."

While talking, Shui Maomao led Chu Qing to look around, those children followed behind Shui Maomao, Chu Qing didn't see any of them, the children just peeked at her.

The older girls also left the house, only saluted Shui Maomao from a distance, neither spoke nor went back to the house, staring at Chu Qing vigilantly.

When wandering halfway around the village, an older girl standing by the well said coldly, "Are you going to sell us?"

Shui Maomao rubbed his hands on his face again, and said to Chu Qing apologetically, "Oh, don't mind, they are a bit wary of strangers."

In fact, every time the men from the Chuan Gang came here to deliver daily necessities, they were also so guarded against. Even if the men wanted to marry a wife, they were smashed into pieces.

Shui Maomao said to the girl: "She is a woman, don't be afraid."

Unexpectedly, the girl had to say something even more irritating: "Why, it's fashionable for old bustards to wear men's clothes now?"

Chu Qing: "..."

Shui Maomao frowned patiently and explained: "This is..."

Before he could speak, another girl next to him said, "Are we really not allowed to live here?"

The tone was a little uneasy, which made other people worry.

Shui Maomao quickly comforted him: "Don't get me wrong, this is..."

Chu Qing introduced himself: "I am the person in charge of the women's branch of 'Baoqing Technician College'."

Shui Maomao hurriedly said: "Yes, I thought you should learn some skills, so that in the future..."

"It's not a drag on you, is it?" The girl interrupted Shui Maomao's words earlier, and sarcastically said:
"I don't know about others. I didn't want to drag anyone down. I'll let it go if I die, but you are too troublesome and insist on saving me. Why do you think we are dragging you down now?
Or do you feel impatient to take us in because we didn't follow your wishes and become your housemates?
If you have something to say, just say it, there is no need to go around like this, we don't ask you for support, and I didn't even try to ask you to save me!
Besides, we didn't eat and drink you for nothing, we showed you these children!You don't even need your wages for washing and cooking! "

Bring the rhythm!These words drew some of the other older girls to tears.

This girl, why are you so mean?Chu Qing frowned.

Shui Maomao rubbed his face again.

It was already autumn, and the night was cool, but the little old man was sweating profusely.

Shui Mao Mao persuaded in a warm voice: "Dafeng, little old man, when I saved you, I really didn't want you, including everyone, ah, girls, we are all hard-working people, hard-working people help hard-working people, that is our boat gang According to the rules, we can't just ignore death..."

Unexpectedly, this big phoenix interrupted Shui Maomao again: "Poor people? Your boat gang has done a lot of evil, right?
Don't think I don't know what you're like!

If he is a good person, can he form a clique?
You saved us, but you just want to whitewash your own reputation! "

The eyes of the rest of the girls also became a little complicated, which shows that Chuan Gang is quite scary in the local area and has a bad reputation.

But according to Xiaobao, the boat gang did some illegal things, but they never bullied the poor. Besides, who doesn't have blood on their hands?
The people Xiaobao trusts, Chu Qing also trusts.

The younger children couldn't understand what the adults said, but the atmosphere was bad, and they were too frightened to make a sound. Some children were holding on to Shui Maomao's skirt tightly, and the rest stood next to the older girl. , but there is no child to stand beside a few big girls.

Shui Mao Mao sweated even more.

The boat gang had a bad reputation, but they didn't do anything to offend their conscience. Even if they were water bandits, they only robbed those unkind businessmen.

However, human lives, living human lives, how can we not save them when they see death?

No matter how difficult it is to live, it is better than death. With his mother leading him, who is not more difficult to live?But you have to live, you have life, you have a future, you have hope, how can you give up so easily?

Shui Maomao wanted to speak again to persuade him, but he saw that Chu Qing rushed towards the stone pile with a few big strides, it was prepared to repair the house, and the men moved here.

Chu Qing was very strong, and after going back and forth several times, he moved a 20 yuan stone that was bigger than his head to the edge of the well, and then said to Dafeng, "You jump off!"
