Chapter 125: Free from Being Beaten
It's just because he doesn't like to keep his house clean on a daily basis, so it looks more dilapidated than a dangerous building.
Liang Huanxue ran all the way to Liang Huanxue's side and picked her up. "Why are you out alone again? Didn't I tell you before not to go out alone?"
What if you get kidnapped again?
Liang Huanxue slapped her little butt a few times as a punishment, then turned around and saw the two unfamiliar faces.
"Are you Liu Erzhuang's friends?" When unfamiliar people appeared in the village, people naturally had to be vigilant.
Liang Huanxue's question seemed to be casual, but in fact she wanted to find out the identities of these two people.
Judging from their confused expressions, they seemed to have no idea who Liu Erzhuang was.
So it naturally seems impossible that he is Liu Erzhuang's friend.
"Then you guys take your time to pack up." Liang Huanxue said, then carried Huanxue back.
Liang Huanxue leaned in Liang Huanxue's arms, raised her head and asked, "Dad, are they really Liu Erzhuang's friends?"
Liang Huanxue shook her head. "It doesn't look like that. When I mentioned Liu Erzhuang, they didn't react at all. If they really knew him, why would they have that expression?"
Liang Huanxue was even more confused now. She curled her lips and asked, "Why didn't Dad expose them?"
Not only did they not expose the truth, but they also revealed the news about Liu Erzhuang to them. What does this mean?
"We still don't know the purpose of their coming here. It won't be too late to find out after we find out the details." The reason why Liang Huanxue didn't expose them just now was that she didn't want to alert the enemy.
What you see may be just two people, but that doesn't mean there are only two people.
This was a time when bandits were rampant. What if there were other people hiding in that house? Wouldn't he and Huan Xue be in danger?
Although Liang Huanxue felt that these two people were most likely those who had escaped from the disaster, they saw that there happened to be an uninhabited house here after the flood receded, so they wanted to occupy the house and move in.
But as the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must always be on guard against others.
Until you know the details about these two people, it's better to be cautious.
Liang Huanxue had to put aside the matter of the stolen seedlings for the time being and followed Liang Huanxue to the village chief's house.
There were strangers coming into the village, so naturally the village chief had to be informed of this.
As soon as I entered, I saw Ah Hang eating a cake from Zhou's hand.
His hands were dirty. Zhou asked him to wash them in disgust, but he said, "Mother said, the water is not as clean as my hands!"
Liang Huanxue glanced at the turbid water in the bucket beside her, and it seemed to be true.
If I wash my hands with the water in the bucket, it will probably make my hands even dirtier.
"You can't eat it like this." Zhou put the cake back on the plate, then took out a handkerchief, dipped it in water, and wiped his hands clean.
When she turned around and wanted to give the cake to Ah Hang, she found that the cake had been eaten up by Ma Jie, Ah Hang's father.
"This cake is for Ah Hang. How could you eat it?" Zhou was naturally angry.
Ma Jie didn't care at all, and even looked disgusted, "It tastes bad."
"You!" Zhou was very angry with him, "I have tolerated you for a long time. If you continue to do this, I will not keep you any longer!"
Ma Jie yawned and said nonchalantly, "Who do you think you are? My second uncle didn't even chase me out, so how can you have a say here?"
"It seems that you still don't know who is the boss here." After saying this, Zhou walked into the room.
Yun'er looked at Zhou's angry back and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "How can you talk to Second Aunt like that? If she really chases us away, where are we going to live?"
Ma Jie walked over and raised his hand to hit someone, but before his hand could touch Yun'er, he let out a cry.
He was stung by a bug.
Yun'er thought she was going to be beaten, but when she heard Ma Jie screaming, she turned her head carefully and found that he was staring at his hand in pain.
Not far behind him stood Liang Huanxue and Liang Huanxue.
"Huanxue, why are you here?" Yun'er was very happy to see Huanxue.
But when he thought that Liang Huanxue might have seen what happened just now, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Yun'er didn't want her to be seen in such a ferocious state.
"Where is the village chief?" Liang Huanxue originally didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs, but when she saw Ma Jie taking action, she knew that if his slap hit Yun'er in the face, it would definitely hurt.
So she couldn't help but let the bug go, which saved her from being beaten.
Liang Huanxue did not show any concern for her, but went straight to ask the village chief.
"Huanxue is here?" The village chief was arguing with Zhou about Ma Jie's family. When he heard that Liang Huanxue was here, he came out as if he had met a savior.
"Uncle village chief, my father wants to talk to you about something." Liang Huanxue walked around the family of three and came to the village chief with her father.
Liang Huanxue told Liu Erzhuang about the situation where a stranger was living in his house.
"I haven't noticed that. I'll take someone over to have a look later. If they are really poor people, it's okay to let them stay." But he came to the village and secretly lived in someone else's house without saying anything or asking questions. He didn't look like a good person.
If they were driven out and Liu Erzhuang didn't come back, he should be able to talk to the villagers and let someone else live in the house.
The village chief is naturally partial to his own people.
Secretly, he wanted Ma Jie and his family to move in.
But most people in the village would not agree.
The village chief glanced at Liang Huanxue and his eyes rolled.
If Huanxue spoke for them, the villagers would definitely not say anything.
"Although they don't look like bandits, it's better to be careful." Liang Huanxue still reminded the village chief that if they ran into any trouble, it would be easier to deal with it if they were prepared in advance.
After talking to the village chief, Liang Huanxue and her daughter left.
Yun'er took two steps after him, but ultimately failed to catch up.
Even if she followed him, she wouldn't know what to say.
On the way back, Liang Huanxue was still wondering what had happened to Shen He and Liu Erzhuang.
"Dad, do you want to go to Tagang Village again?" She thought so and said so.
"Have you forgotten how dangerous it was there?" Liang Huanxue still broke out in cold sweats when she thought about her previous experience.
It was like a nightmare, he didn't want to think about it.
"I'll just take a look from a distance, not to the village entrance." Liang Huanxue tugged at Liang Huanxue's sleeve, "Dad, just take me there!"
How could Liang Huanxue resist her coquettishness?
I agreed as soon as my head got hot.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you there, okay? But we have to tell our family that we are going to the county town instead of Tagang Village, so as not to worry your grandma and your mother." Liang Huanxue was actually curious about what Tagang Village was like now.
