"Why is there something hidden here?"
Aunt Zhou looked surprised.
Su Ying opened the bundle and found two black clothes and a headscarf inside.
"This... these are two pieces of clothing? Who would bury two pieces of clothing here?"
It would be fine if these two pieces of clothing were ordinary coarse linen clothes, but they are black clothes. Who would wear all black and wear a headscarf and a face scarf for no reason?
Su Ying put away her bag and walked around the woods again. After finding nothing else, she went out with Aunt Zhou.
"Don't take my sweet potatoes. They belong to me."
As soon as they walked out, they heard an argument coming from not far ahead.
The two exchanged glances and walked towards the source of the sound.
The sound of the quarrel came from a small path next to the fork in the road, which was right between two houses.
Li Cuihua was pushing Goudan, and the two were fighting over a bag of sweet potatoes.
"Get the hell out of here, you little bastard. You should have died a long time ago, but you still have the nerve to come here and waste food. Give me the sweet potatoes, or I'll beat you to death!"
"This is mine, let it go, or I'll tell you everything your son did, and you'll be in trouble!"
"Bah! Who would believe what you say, a little bastard? Go ahead and say it, and see if anyone will believe you!"
"Your son wanted to molest Erni and he said it was done by those men in black. If those men in black find out, you will all be in trouble!"
Aunt Zhou and Su Ying's pupils shrank. Aunt Zhou wanted to go forward but was stopped by Su Ying.
"Don't worry, he may not lose."
Sure enough, when Li Cuihua was stunned, Gou Wa kicked her ankle. Li Cuihua screamed in pain and let go. Gou Wa immediately grabbed the sweet potato and ran into the house behind him.
"You bastard, if you dare to hit me, I will tear your skin off!"
Li Cuihua was not convinced and went up to bang on the gate, but the gate was so strong that not only could she not open it, but her hands also turned red. Li Cuihua was very angry, but she couldn't get in, so she could only leave cursing.
After she left, Su Ying and Aunt Zhou came out from the darkness.
"City Lord, there is something fishy about that matter."
"Aunt, go get the food and I'll go meet the child."
Aunt Zhou nodded, went back and got some whole grain steamed buns and a few boiled eggs and put them in the basket.
Su Ying came to Gou Wa's house carrying a basket and knocked on the door.
But she knocked for a while, and there was no movement in the yard.
"I'm here to deliver something. Open the door."
Soon, a slight sound of footsteps was heard in the yard. After a while, the gate was vigilantly opened a crack, and a pair of vigilant eyes appeared behind the crack.
"Who are you and what are you sending? It's not time to distribute sweet potatoes yet."
Su Ying shook the bamboo basket in her hand. "The head of the village asked me to bring it here. He said he was worried about you living alone, so he asked me to bring you some food to nourish your body."
Gou Wa was a little confused, but couldn't resist the temptation of the food in the basket, so he obediently opened the gate.
Su Ying walked into the house carrying a basket.
You know what, even though the kid is young, the yard is really tidied up.
"Don't you have to go and reclaim the land and plant it today?"
Su Ying put the basket on the table and asked casually, "I have already taken care of my land. I don't need to go there every day."
Su Ying took a boiled egg from the basket and knocked it on the table. The moment the eggshell broke, the aroma of the egg filled the air.
Gou Wa's eyes were wide open. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last tasted eggs.
The peeled eggs are smooth and tender, and they look very tempting just by looking at them.
"Eat, you're still growing, you should eat something good."
Gou Wa looked at Su Ying in doubt, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the egg. He grabbed the egg and ate it in two bites.
"There are still a few here. You can take your time eating."
"Li, Li is right. He is so nice to me."
"Your uncle Li Zheng is so good to you, shouldn't you help him solve his problems?"
Gou Wa blinked in confusion and said, "I can work for Uncle Lizheng. I can chop wood and farm for him."
Su Ying shook her head slowly, "These are all small matters, you can do them for him anytime. Recently, he has encountered a headache, that is, Sister Erni, you know? She was almost molested by the men in black, and now everyone in the village is furious, including your uncle Lizheng, they are thinking of fighting with those men in black."
"Fighting the Men in Black?"
"Yes, if we fight, we will suffer."
"We have a lot of people." Su Ying smiled and said that a child who could survive the disaster could not be a simple character.
"Do you think you can beat the men in black?"
Gou Wa was silent, as if he was thinking about this question seriously.
"I don't know, they seem to be quite powerful."
"They have killed many people before. If you really fight, none of you will survive."
Gou Wa's face changed, perhaps he had never thought of such a possibility.
"Well, what should we do then?"
"The head of the village said that the men in black would not attack without reason, but we can't just let it go of the fact that they flirted with Erni, lest they really think we are soft persimmons and let them bully us in the future!"
"But they are not the ones who are flirting with Sister Erni."
After Gou Wa finished speaking, as if he realized that he had said something wrong, he quickly covered his mouth and stared at Su Ying with his eyes wide open.
Su Ying calmly peeled another egg and said, "Why not? So many people saw it at the time. Could it be that they all saw it wrong?"
"They didn't see it! I saw it!" Gou Wa looked straight at the egg and said anxiously.
"What did you see? Didn't you just see the man in black bullying Erni?"
"No, they are not the men in black, they are Li Hai and his men, they are the ones who want to bully Sister Erni!"
Su Ying heard this and brought the eggs to him. "No one will believe you if you say this. Do you have any evidence?"
"I did! That night I saw them sneaking away and running into the woods. They buried something in the woods."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows calmly, "If you saw it, why didn't you go and tell the head of the village?"
Gou Wa quickly stuffed the egg into his mouth and mumbled, "I dare not say it, they will beat me to death."
Su Ying chuckled, "But if you don't tell me, if the two sides really fight, you will be beaten to death, Gou Wa, are you afraid of death?"
Gou Wa was stunned and said, "I am afraid of death. I don't want to die."
"Then go and talk to the head of the village. Tell him that it wasn't the men in black who hurt Erni, but Li Hai and his gang."
Gou Wa was a little hesitant.
"If you tell the truth, the headman will trust you more and you will get more delicious food. Don't you want that?"
