Calculated in modern time, it takes three hours to walk briskly from Erdaohe Village to the town.It takes a day and a half from the town to the county.

Calculating the round-trip time, even if there are donkey carts, ox carts, and mule carts, it will take at least three days for a round trip.

After all, these means of transportation will not make you faster, but will only make the journey less tiring.

The horse is fast, but no one dares to use it to pull the foot.

It can be said that there are no horse-drawn carriages in the whole town, and it is not a matter of affordability.

Here, it is required that the family has more than one person, or those officials who work at the gate of the yamen are allowed to use horses.

Approval does not mean equipment, but you must first file for permission to equip horses at your own expense.

For example, Catcher Zhao has an old horse, which was given to him by Shangfeng before. After he returned to the place, the first thing he had to do was to register the source of the horse before he could use it.

Horses are strategic materials, and the dynasty controls them very tightly.

It can be seen that it will take many days for Wang Laoba to file a complaint.

And Wang Laoba didn't see his cousin when he came to the county.

Why did Wang Lizheng bother to go to the county seat? In order to socialize with some officials who are often in contact, Wang Laoba dared not find restaurants and brothels to disturb him, so he had to wait for Wang Lizheng to come back.

What's more, he had burns on his body, and he had to go to the doctor's office halfway, otherwise he would not dare to touch the water, and even drank water carefully for fear of burning his mouth.

So many things happened in Wangjiagou Village these days without a leader.

Wangjiagou was still buzzing in the middle of the night.

"Take the fish for your mother."

"The fish has been ordered, but it's not enough, what can I get for it, fingers?"

"This is really not your mother. No wonder it's not good to say that a daughter-in-law is not good. If your mother is taken away, and you still think about fish, I think you are uneasy and kind-hearted!"

"I don't have a gut, you have it, you have the ability to go to Erdaohe to ask someone to count your ability."

The eight married girls who were arrested have all returned, and every family is fighting with their own brothers, sisters-in-law and younger siblings:

"Brother, listen to what your daughter-in-law said. Right now, my mother is not sure how she will suffer. She has enmity with your village. She has to use the whip, wax and oil. She is hungry for another day. Good people will starve to waste. She is still thinking about money. Qian, give me a voice, don't put it there and pretend to be deaf!"

"I'm not waiting for Lizheng to come back, so I'm destined to have an explanation."

"If you wait for him, mother will be ashamed. Can mother wait? I heard that the bastard has been beaten away. If you want to replace him with fish or money, go now!"

There are also many married women sitting on the kang at home crying, because the son-in-law came back to help the old man's family and was beaten. Why do they take the men back to the in-law's house, and the in-law's house is not allowed to tear them apart.

That's right, many in-laws are fighting with the people of Wangjiagou Village:

"When you came to help, you didn't say you would get hurt. You said you were trying to scare the other side, but now you are so burned that you can't take medicine to see a doctor? Who will pay for the medicine?"

"They are all real relatives, how can they say such things? It's really chilling."

"Oh my God, you don't make people feel bad. We have thrown away all the work at home, and we don't ask for a penny of hard work for you, and we don't want to say thank you. At least this hurts you for helping you, isn't it? Have a theory?"

"We didn't hurt people, you go to whoever hurts, and if you have the ability, go to Erdaohe to ask for money for medicine."

"Cooperate with us to help you and still help you wrong? Why are you still acting like a rogue? We can find whoever we are after, what Erdaohe are we looking for."

"What are you rushing for? I know it well. Back then, I didn't know who was licking their faces and begging matchmakers to come to our village for marriage. They were so poor that we wanted to let our village pick up girls. A bunch of poor relatives. Don’t you come here to fight the famine just because you want to get a head this time, so that you can have the face to borrow food from us later?”

"It's unreasonable. I know that you Wangjiagou has a way of playing rogues."

How many people quarreled and fought together.

In addition, there were more than 30 people who had been burned with firewood, and they felt unbalanced when they closed the door: "Why is my house burned, not someone else's house? Then we were burned for the sake of the whole village. Should there be a family in the village?" statement."

In short, when you can beat the hostile village, the quarrels are not a problem, whoever loses will bear it, and you can find a receiver to lose money, food and firewood.

But when they were defeated, Wangjiagou Village was not as united as expected.

As for the above tastes, 12 years ago, a family named Liu in Erdaohe Village had tasted all of them.It was also that incident that shocked the whole village of Erdaohe, so they were so honest.

This family's name is Liu Yongtian, and they are related to Liu Laozhu.

Just because Ming Zi, the third boy in the family, secretly caught two baskets of fish, he was found by Wangjiagou gang, and he smashed the pot and broke Liu Yongtian's leg.

Liu Yongtian's leg was broken to protect his son, and the neighbors who came to help were also seriously injured. If he didn't pay for the medicine or bring two chickens to visit the sick, wouldn't they turn against each other?Besides, it doesn't work that way.If you do things like that, who will come and take a look when there is a noise at home in the future.

Fortunately, the weather was good in those few years, and the Liu family sold more food to endure hunger, so that they could look good to the head of the family, and they also had spare money and favors to help the injured family.

Now Liu Yongtian has passed away, and when he died, his broken right leg was still limping when he walked quickly.

Tonight, while his old wife was working to pave the gravel road, she was deserting. She often stopped working, and only when she got close could she hear her muttering: "Old man, can you relieve your anger?"

He murmured again: "Mingzi, my old son, where are you going to work? Mother knows that you are ashamed of the family, so she will rush to earn copper coins before your elder brother and second brother after collecting the grain. Stop doing it, come back Look, our village was beaten to the brim by the village on the other side, so you should hurry back and beat yourself up, otherwise you won’t have a chance if they don’t come and make trouble.”

The other women who were paving the stones with her pretended not to hear, and did not urge to work faster, knowing that Ming Ziniang was aggrieved.

Presumably, after more than ten years of sleeping half the night, when I wake up, I will spit out two mouthfuls of curses: "Why doesn't Wangjiagou die of plague?"

Anyway, if it were them, they would be scolded like this, and they would step on the soles of their feet and curse at the villain during the New Year.

Erdaohe Village, which was in stark contrast to the chaos of Wangjiagou, was also brightly lit at this time, but they were working in full swing.

On the dam, Fang Que, an old lady, and Fang Que, a daughter-in-law, lighted oil lamps and paved the gravel road for the fishing boys.

The new ship under the dam is testing whether it is leaking: "It's done, fourth grandpa."

The fourth uncle said yes repeatedly, and at the same time signaled to the boy carrying the stretcher to send him back to the village entrance. The second boat was only half built and had to stay up all night to catch up.

Because the three boats of the Liu family will carry [-] catties of fish to leave the shore the day after tomorrow at the latest.

They had to join the five fleet of ships belonging to the village when Liu's boat left.

And to cast a net again tonight, Erdaohe Village finally doesn't have to hide it anymore. It's like being a thief last night, wishing to pray that the water flowers will not make a sound.

On the river, counting the newly built sixth boat with torches on, the men were throwing their arms and throwing nets and shouting.

They also had to collect the six thousand catties of fish they wanted for the old Liu family within two days.

They have designated species, not all fish are required, and the price is extremely low, which is not suitable.

But after discussing with everyone, the boss of the boat offended Wangjiagou for their village. At least this time, no one can let the boat go empty. Don't think about cost-effectiveness and storage, and just wholesale it to the Liu family at once to save worry.

Besides, this moment of fighting with Wangjiagou is not suitable for every family to push their carts and go out to sell fish.

When they heard the lively chant from the side of the Erdao River, there were also many small fishing boats casting nets on the side of Wangjiagou. They pretended not to hear and continued to work with their heads down, and even some timid ones deliberately moved their fishing boats away Dash, get off the net far away from Erdaohe.

Didn't you see those boats on the Erdao River with archers?
Ke Teniang's exaggeration, the arrow feathers are the kind that set fire to, and when they shoot them, the boat catches up again, and Erdaohe has tasted the sweetness of setting fire.

The Wangjiagou fishermen cursed in their hearts.

Even the one who came to change the hostages smiled apologetically on the surface, but hated Erdaohe to death in his heart.

"Hey? Don't hit!" How come there are still people throwing the fried buns in the middle of the night.

The fourth uncle and the others lighted a fire at the entrance of the village, and were nailing wooden wedges to the hull of the boat. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and glanced at the cart of fish being pushed by someone.

The visitors were also very surprised. They really didn't expect that there were so many people working together in Erdaohe Village in the middle of the night.

Together, that is what makes them very puzzled.

You must know that their villages are run by different families.

The fourth uncle raised his chin to the kid in front of him, and asked him to see how many catties of fish he had.

Bu Dai Daddy stepped forward and frowned, "You want to change your old lady just for this basket? You are just kidding!"

"No, it's not easy for us as farmers. If we catch fish, we'll sell them long ago. You don't know that it's hard for us to gather together this basket."

Before the opposite party finished crying, the fourth uncle said without raising his head: "This is not a place for bargaining. You set fire to the village as soon as you enter the village, but you didn't realize that it's not easy for everyone to be peasants. That's as cruel as a bandit."

Budai Daddy immediately raised his hoe and ordered: "Get out!"

"Others, we..."

Only then did the fourth uncle raise his eyes to look at the family: "Go back and tell the seven families that our village does not blackmail your boat or boat, but four baskets of sharp fish are worth one person. If you agree, you can exchange it. If you don't agree, you can exchange it." Pull down."

The fourth uncle felt that the niece of the Xu family was right, and exchanged those eight people for more than 30 baskets of fish, and gave Guan Ertu [-] baskets of fish as medical expenses.

You can't let it be the wrong medicine. It happens that Ertu's family doesn't have any strong laborers to earn work points, which is different from the eldest niece's family.The eldest niece's family can get ten work points when they come back with food, warehouses and silver.Those are all good boys, after today's fight, how many people miss You Cang.

And without work points, Ertu's family picks up fish and marinates it for winter, and when the next year's spring is green and yellow, who knows what the situation will be like next year.

As for the remaining dozen or so baskets of fish, they will be divided equally between those who were injured for the public.Just like someone in the village said to drink more fish soup to keep healthy.

The fourth uncle thought to himself: He obeyed his eldest niece, and it was the Xu family's eldest niece who did that. In many cases, even he would never think of being so fair.

After hearing this, the family who came here saw that there were so many people in Erdaohe staring at them. They didn't dare to bargain any more, so they unloaded this basket of fish and said, "Then let's go back and collect the three baskets again. Can you not sleep at night, and sleep when we come, or we can find someone to replace."

Before leaving, he thought about it and said: "Can you stop saying that our family came first?"

This was the idea that Wang Lizheng would be able to make decisions for them when he came back.

He didn't want the villagers to know that his family was the first to surrender in order to change his mother.

This time Budai Daddy knew what to say: "You guys have a thick skin to negotiate terms with us."

There is no need to help hide it anymore, because the family met seven other families one after another on the way back, "Go back, I want four baskets of fish that stand out."

"Hey, this is taking advantage of the fire!"

Then you can change it or not, if you don't change it, you can continue to tie the big tree and starve me.

On this side Erdaohe Village's bag daddy also suddenly said: "Looks like it's still worthwhile to catch alive. If I had known earlier, it would be better to hold down the bastard, that bastard can at least exchange for three boats of fish."

I don't know if he will come again, if he comes again, he will attack Wang Laoba.

That night, although Xu Tianxin didn't have to stay up late to pave the gravel road and participate in the hostage exchange operation, he went to bed very late.

Because the room of Xu's second uncle and third uncle became a children's den.

The adults were scattered around to work, basically the whole family was dispatched, and the younger children came to Xu's house because they didn't dare to sleep. Sister Tian Xin became the principal of the kindergarten.

And many children pee on the kang, which is enough for the head of Tianxin to wash.

It can be seen that the adults who fought in the daytime frightened the children, including the young generals who set fire and threw lime, and they were not as brave as they appeared on the surface.

Xu Tianxin had just finished covering the children with the quilt when he heard the door knocking, thinking it was grandma and aunt coming back, but unexpectedly it was Aunt Mei Zhuang carrying some bundles of firewood into the hospital.

"Auntie, my grandma has already said that when my uncles come back, let them carry firewood. There is enough firewood in the backyard at home, so you don't need to send it."

Mei Zhuang motioned Tian Xin to look at the door. She was not the only one delivering firewood, and there were firewood at the door of the 22 houses that were burned nearby.

Xu Tianxin was glad that he went to bed late, otherwise he would have missed seeing this scene.

She walked from house to house, house to house, like pacing.

She felt that it was these firewood that gave her a sense of belonging to the village, and she came to Grandpa Guan's house after walking.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Guan was at home.

Grandpa Guan was looking at the children of the Sun family in front of him: "This is?"

"My brothers know this kind of herbal medicine. When I peeled the bark, I dug it back with my hands. I don't know how much it is worth. Don't worry, Mr. Lang, if our brothers go up the mountain again, everyone will say Well, in the future, whoever goes up the mountain and sees the herbs he knows will dig them back for you, and you can't let the villagers treat diseases in vain."

After the kids from the Sun family left, Xu Tianxin saw Grandpa Guan entering the hospital and started pounding medicine with great vigor. She wanted to go in to help, but Grandpa Guan wiped his eyes with his sleeve suddenly, and she stopped in her tracks.

And that night, the family members in the live broadcast room had five taels of silver as a reward to the village.

I heard that there is a cantaloupe grandma fan group, and the leader suggested that one yuan is not much, and everyone will contribute one yuan to buy some weapons for the village fund-raising point.

Otherwise, take a look, you have to quickly pick up the wooden arrow you shot.

Many people also expressed their regrets. It would be great if they could really donate old clothes so that the village flags would not fade.

More than 5000 people tipped one dollar.

For this reason, Grandma Xianggua came back in the middle of the night, and made a live broadcast and solemnly promised: "I will definitely use the money for special purposes, and use this five taels of silver to help the villagers at the right time."

Mrs. Xu kept the five taels in a special box.

Three days later...

Eight villages in the vicinity are discussing the same topic: "Have you heard that Erdaohe Village has been taken over by Wangjiagou. Then marrying a daughter-in-law and raising banners is so lively."

"Erdaohe, the village with mixed surnames?"

"That's not right, people don't have mixed surnames now, but they are pissed, and they are ganged up to die. I heard that the slogan is that if you can't die, you will die. Even the business has been cut off by Erdaohe. Three big boats have ten thousand catties of fish. pull away."

It is spread to tens of thousands of catties in ten miles and eight villages.

"More than 100 people in Wangjiagou were injured. They said that their buttocks were smoked by the Erdao River and rolled all over the floor. Did Wang Laoba know? He was beaten away like a bastard."

"Is Erli not at home?"

"The designation is not at home, but Erdaohe has someone in charge. Guess who it is?"

Mrs. Xu's ancient elder sister-in-law happened to pass by, "Daughter-in-law of Gui Tang, she is your sister-in-law."

"What?!"

Even the people around were surprised: "If you say it's her, then I won't believe it. Isn't her sister-in-law Hao Xianghua?"

"Look, the sister-in-law of the second daughter of my elder sister's family is a daughter from Wangjiagou. She said that her eyes were swollen from crying and begged Xianghua for mercy, so she almost knelt down to let her mother go."

Everyone in Haojia Village, even Gu Sufen, Mrs. Xu's uncle and sister-in-law, thought it was a fantasy.

What makes Gu Sufen extremely angry is that she will be booed and laughed at: "It's over, you and your younger siblings are completely incomparable, and she can have a child. This time, she has become Erdaohe's talker again. Just watch, you Mother-in-law will take a higher look at her when she comes back."

At the same time, Wang Laoba finally saw his cousin.

Wang Lizheng was already in a bad mood, so he returned to the house he bought drunk.

He thought to himself, no matter how many things he does secretly for the magistrate for ten years, he still has to kneel in front of the magistrate, take the last seat when eating, and pay for his smile when he visits brothels.Training him is like training a grandson.He scolded him for not having a long head.

A county magistrate speaks rougher than him. If you ask him to say that he can do the job of the county magistrate even if he has a big belly and hangs a big pancake around a dog's neck.

When I saw my daughter-in-law buying so many clothes materials, I suddenly became angry and said: "Is it easy for me to earn some money a day? Buy, buy, buy, you are fat and fat, how can you look good?"

"Okay, you went out to see a lot of wild women, and you came back to find fault with me. You are a father-in-law, and you go shopping in brothels and search for girls who are younger than your daughter..."

"Shut up!" She shook off her old wife and went out.

As a result, as soon as the gate was opened, Wang Laoba jumped off the bullock cart.

Just like dead parents, this is the county seat, and they howled without caring whether there was anyone nearby:

"Brother, do you still recognize me? You see, I was covered up by the doctor with only my eyes, nose and mouth left. My face was beaten by Erdaohe Village, and my body is full of blisters.

You don't even know that the people in that village are crazy, they feel like pie in the sky when they see a war! "
