Chapter 127 He Bai Xiaofeng capsized in the gutter
The temperature drops slightly in September.
The new residents of Tubei Village recreated the lively scene of last year and were busy reclaiming the land.
They built sheds and enclosed the yards, opened vegetable gardens and cultivated fields. Everyone worked together and it was very lively. Laughter could be heard in every corner of the village.
Changdong walked slowly out of the village.
As the sun grew stronger near noon, people could be seen everywhere busy and cheerful. Life was full of hope, and the harsh sunlight seemed to suit the villagers perfectly.
"Hello, Uncle Changdong." After three or five steps, the children playing on the roadside saw him, shyly moved aside, and were too reserved to dare to come forward.
"Changdong, where are you going out?" After six or seven steps, the white-haired old man who was squatting in front of the new yard and knocking on the door frame stood up tremblingly and smiled at him kindly.
"Chang... Changdong! I heard that you are working in the inner city. Are you going to work?" The man who was building half of the wall eight or nine steps away wiped the sweat off his face and greeted him warmly and tentatively.
Changdong smiled back, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Bold.
Is he familiar with them?
When did the name Changdong become known to the whole village, just because of that timid and cowardly look?
Humph, with a flick of his sleeves, Changdong walked even faster.
The villagers behind him waited until he was far away before they dared to look up at his back, with confusion in their eyes.
"Why do I feel weird? Changdong was so polite when we first arrived. He even helped Mr. Huo build the awning."
"It's a bit strange. Isn't it said that Changdong never straightens his back when he walks..."
"What are you overthinking? Changdong couldn't stand up straight before, it must be because he was always bullied in the city. After coming to Tubei Village, everyone is so friendly, so he naturally straightened his back! Look at us, weren't we all hunched over at the beginning?"
"That's right, our Tubei Village is a really great place!"
The man who walked out with his back straight had a dark complexion, and he didn't even look around when he walked past the fields at the entrance of the village.
In the fields by the roadside, the Su family's father and two sons were plowing the fields.
Deeply plow the fields and sprinkle them with wood ash to keep them for the winter so that the rice planted in the spring of the following year will grow well.
Su Er turned his head and saw a familiar figure. After taking a closer look, his face brightened. He grabbed the kettle on the edge of the field and chased after it.
"Changdong! Changdong! Are you going back to the inner city? Did the shopkeeper ask you to go to work?"
In September, the reeds in the marshes are in full bloom, and the river breeze blows, causing white waves to fly.
Chang Dong stopped beside the reeds, turned around, and looked at the person chasing him calmly, "What are you doing?"
The sun was blazing overhead. The man had worked all morning and chased after him, panting. Not understanding the coldness in his eyes, she handed him the kettle, her white teeth shining. "It takes more than half an hour to walk from our village to the inner city. The sun is very scorching at noon. Take this water with you. Drink it if you're thirsty on the way. My mother specially made some large-leaf tea this morning to quench your thirst and cool you down!"
Changdong's eyes fell on the kettle, a piece of bamboo tube tied with rough hemp rope. This was the kettle used by farmers.
Chang Dong raised the corner of his mouth, looked up, and looked at the fool in front of him against the light, "Su Er, am I easy to bully?"
Su Er was stunned when he heard this, confused. He scratched his head anxiously, "What do you mean by bullying? No, someone bullied you? Tell me who! I'll go find him!"
The other party didn't say anything, which made Su Er even more anxious. Sweat broke out on his forehead. He punched Chang Dong on the shoulder and said gruffly, "Why don't you say something? Who bullied you again? They said you are a grown man but you are so fussy. You are so tall for nothing! If anyone bullies you, just beat him back! If you can't beat him, come back and call me brother. What's the point of that? Don't you regard me as a brother?"
Changdong pursed his lips and his eyes grew colder.
Bai Xiaofeng had a setback and had been pretending for months during the long winter. He must have been seen through long ago.
The brat comes to ask him to help fight, will the cowardly Changdong help fight?
Open the condom and let him get in!
I just don't know how many people in Xiao Su's family know the inside story.
He was too lazy to guess any further. When he turned around to leave, his ears moved slightly, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he flicked his fingers to knock down a hidden weapon that was attacking Su Er's vest.
"Changdong? Changdong! You—"
Changdong slapped the noisy man on the side of his neck with his backhand palm, and his ears were cleared.
When the man fell down, she lifted his head with her toes and then pulled her foot away with disgust.
When his gaze turned to somewhere outside the reed marsh, Changdong's eyes became even more fierce. He sneered and rushed towards that direction like an arrow.
Under the scorching sun, the cattail flowers were blown everywhere, and the air was filled with little bits of snowflakes.
Behind the dense grass and large rocks, muffled sounds were heard frequently, and specks of blood occasionally splashed out.
A moment later, several black shadows were thrown out and exposed to the sunlight, lifeless. The most noticeable thing was the horrible look on everyone's face.
Changdong spun around and flew out, landing lightly on the ground. He wiped off the dirt on his hands elegantly, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.
He ignored Su Er, who was snoring on the ground, and walked straight to the back of the reed marsh where people were tall. He lowered his eyes to look at the women and children squatting there, and said, "Find someone to carry that guy back."
Witnessing another massacre with their own eyes, the women and children were clearly terrified and trembling, but their eyes could not hide their blind admiration, especially the little kids who were only four or five years old, "Uncle Changdong, you...you are also a master!"
Changdong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, snorted coldly and left. Before leaving, he passed by Su Er, paused, and finally leaned over to pull away the bamboo tube kettle that the man was holding tightly in his hand even when he was sleeping.
"Xiaoliu, hurry up and go to the edge of the field and call Grandpa Su and Uncle Su!" As soon as Changdong left, the woman immediately instructed Da Wa.
The kid named Xiaoliu ran to the edge of the field without saying a word, "Grandpa Su, Uncle Su! Second Uncle has fainted over there! Come and carry him back!"
…
A layer of dark clouds gathered over Tubei Village.
Su Er's fainting was a small matter; the big matter was the five or six corpses lying there.
Du Buqin felt that setting a trap for these people was too easy for them, so he sprinkled some corpse powder on them and ended the matter.
After carrying the snoring Su Er back home, Old Man Su took Su Da to the Huo family courtyard and asked, "Mr. Huo, those people...are they causing trouble at Pier 12 again?"
The father and son looked unhappy, but they were still calm.
If it were back when I was still in Dahuai Village, I would have been scared to death to see so many corpses at the entrance of the village.
I finally came to the land of exile. I encountered a lot of things and saw a lot of things. Over time, I started to get used to it.
When Old Man Su asked the question, there was a wry smile on his face. Perhaps it couldn't be said to be a habit, but numbness.
This is the real exile place.
They can find temporary peace hiding in Tubei Mountain. In the eyes of outsiders, this place is probably like a paradise.
Huo Ziheng fanned himself, his expression calm. "Big Beard, the leader of the Twelve Piers gang, has returned. He's not going to let this go after so many setbacks at the Twelve Piers. Those ambushes outside the village are just the beginning."
Su Da was quick to speak, "Does that mean they will send more people to die next?"
Old Man Su, “…”
"They won't come back to the village to cause trouble, but 90% of the people in Tubei Village are ordinary people. If they run into those people, Tubei Village will be the ones that suffer. The bearded man's move is intended to scare the enemy."
