Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 11 The flood washed the Dragon King Temple

The boy got closer and closer, Mo Qianrui lowered his head slightly, waiting for him to approach calmly, not even paying attention to Father calling her twice.

Suddenly, Mo Qianrui kicked the young man's knee. The young man was suddenly attacked, and his legs softened and he knelt on the ground.Mo Qianrui didn't stop there, on the contrary, she took advantage of the victory to pursue and scratched the boy's face with her hand.There is no way, she is too young now, and she is unarmed, the only thing she can use is her nails and teeth.

Biting her with her mouth can't get her off her mouth, it's too dirty.So, I can only scratch with my fingernails.

"Damn chicken thief! If I tell you to steal my chicken again, I won't scratch you to death!" Mo Qianrui also knew that she was the first to start, and before everyone could react, she had already yelled.

At this time, the boy also reacted, but instead of fighting back immediately, he pushed Mo Qianrui hard, and then ran away without looking back.Mo Qianrui was pushed to the ground, Father hurriedly supported her, but also missed the best chance to arrest the boy.

"Girl, that is the thief who came into our house to steal chickens last night?" Dad pursed his lips and looked at Mo Qianrui, then raised his head to see the running back of the boy, and believed it immediately.It's just that it's hard for him to say that.His own daughter is young and ignorant of the world, but he understands that every village has its own rules.Like this, unless the personal stolen goods are caught and obtained, I am afraid that there is no way to get an explanation.After all, every village will protect its own people.

"It must be him! I scratched his face last night, with exactly the same scratch marks. Besides, father, you see that he has a guilty conscience, and he only knows how to run away after I scratched him!"

Father frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

Ordinarily, that young man should belong to Liujiazhuang. If so, even if he is caught, he can't do anything.Usually, it's just the two sides arguing with each other, and he doesn't have any evidence in the end.But now...

"Brother, your house was burglarized yesterday? Was it the thief who did it?"

The commotion here is so big that it has already attracted the attention of many people.Although Mo Qianrui and Dad didn't announce anything, the matter was already clear from their conversation.

Dad hesitated for a moment, nodded first, and then explained: "Last night, a thief broke into my house, and the chicken coop in the yard was in trouble. Fortunately, my daughter made a clever noise to scare away the thief. It's a pity that my house Five old hens, all of which had their necks broken by the thief. Five good hens that lay eggs every day!"

Although he didn't intend to seek justice, Dad still told the truth.In any case, it is always good to gain sympathy first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Father's words fell, the people around burst into clamor in vain.

"Damn thief boy, see if I don't kill him! You will know that he stole our flower hen!"

"And my two hens, which are fat and can lay eggs, must have been done by him!"

"Outsiders can't catch that bastard, let's go together! The thief who killed a thousand knives, my mother is crying blind because of the stolen chicken!"

"Yes, let's go together! Kill him!"

"..."

In an instant, everyone who had been watching ran away, leaving only Mo Qianrui and Dad stunned.Mo Qianrui's reaction was quicker, he tugged at Dad's hand and said: "It seems that the little thief came to our house after stealing all over the village. Dad, don't worry about them, anyway, our chickens don't care. Now, that little thief will definitely be taught a lesson."

Dad nodded in agreement, this Liujiazhuang may have been more united than other villages because they all belong to the same owner.It was because of this situation that Dad didn't dare to come directly to the door to settle the score, but tactfully expressed his suffering.But I didn't expect such a result. Now it's all right, even if the little thief is beaten half to death, it will be light.

"Forget it, we can't take care of these things, let's go to your uncle's house first."

Looking for uncle's house?Mo Qianrui was a little dazed, why did he go to his uncle's house instead of his grandmother's?

Before Mo Qianrui could ask, Dad had already found the right house, just a few steps away from where they were standing just now.It seems that Father's memory is still very good.

Looking inside through the low fence wall, the yard is full of potholes. Although the house is made of wood, the roof is covered with straw, and there are many gaps in the wall. From the outside, it can be clearly seen that there is no one inside.

The nearby people are all chasing the thief now, only a few young children are looking out in their yard.Dad went to the next door and asked, and after making sure he found the right place, he pulled Mo Qianrui and waited at the door.

"Don't worry, big girl, it's already this time, and the people working in the field should come back." Dad thought for a while and said, "But it's not sure, there are oil workshops and wine workshops in Liujiazhuang. If you If uncle is working in these two places, he may come back later."

Oil mill?wine shop?
Mo Qianrui became interested. As a chef, she is most interested in various ingredients and seasonings.The Mo family is poor, and the most obvious thing is that there is nothing to eat.Even the condiments are only salt and sour plum vinegar, barely counting the onion and garlic she just exchanged in the morning, but the condiments are still too little.

When cooking, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are essential, and oil is naturally the first.Cooking wine is also a necessity. Besides, there is one more thing that Mo Qianrui wants, and that is chili!

If she can gather these three kinds together, she is confident that she can prepare a table of good dishes with the simplest ingredients.

When Mo Qianrui was thinking about how to persuade his father to buy some oil and wine, those people finally came back just now. A group of old women dragged a boy, kicking and pinching him occasionally.However, there was no scene of smashing eggs that Mo Qianrui had seen in her previous life. Obviously eggs, a hard currency that can be used as money, cannot be wasted.Apart from the boy, there was a couple of people behind them who kept begging for mercy, and it sounds like they should be the boy's parents.

However, what happened next challenged Mo Qianrui's nerves again.

"Brother Uncle? Are you Liu Hongxuan? I'm Mo Dashan." Father shouted towards the back of the crowd.

"You... Mo Dashan? Are you my little girl's man? Oh, yo, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family. Brother-in-law, tell them quickly, we are a family, you won't blame me That unworthy son."

Father smiled wryly and looked down at Mo Qianrui.Mo Qianrui looked indifferent, she didn't really care about her relatives.If it was the grandmother who always smiled at her in her previous life, she would still be moved.But uncle... In her previous life, her mother was the only daughter, so there's no such thing as an uncle.

"Uncle, I don't blame it, but they don't listen to me." The matter has come to this point, it is no longer something that Dad can settle with just a few words.

Dad knows this, Mo Qianrui doesn't care, but uncle and aunt know it and have to fight.

"Oh, I'm just such a son! I'm a fellow from the village, but I'll give him a way to survive! I beg you to let him go this time, those chickens... Let's pay, even if it's a smuggler!" The uncle and aunt saw that Dad's side was useless, so they had to kneel down and beg for other sufferers.

After all, it belonged to the folks in the village, those people beat and scolded, and heard that my uncle was willing to pay, so they just let it go.

How else?You can't beat the only ones to death just for a few chickens, right?

When the crowd slowly dispersed, the uncle and aunt dragged the young man who had fainted from the beating into the yard.The eldest aunt went into the house to take care of her son, while the uncle stood in the yard and sighed.

Dad was about to step forward to comfort her, after all, her family didn't have much to lose, so she didn't want to pay if it was a relative after all.Unexpectedly, just as father opened his mouth, uncle complained first.

"Brother-in-law, you said that it's not good when you come, but today is the day. Come here, and you must say that Boy Qiu is a thief. Tell me, what are you going to do next? Our family has no money to compensate others Chicken!"
