He was still cursing under his breath, "Look at you, do you even act like a fourth uncle? You only pick out the easy work and leave the heavy lifting to your nephew..."
"Tell me, how can you be so shameless..."
The old lady loved her children, and while scolding them, she was about to hit Tian Lao Si. Fortunately, Tian Yixuan spoke up for his fourth uncle in time.
"Grandma, Fourth Uncle chopped firewood this morning, but he's not strong enough and he chopped too slowly, so it was my turn to chop the firewood!"
"Moreover, it was my own request!"
"Please don't blame Fourth Uncle!"
Tian Yixuan genuinely wanted to speak up for his fourth uncle, but the old lady misunderstood him…
Well, this fourth uncle doesn't even have the strength of a child. She's spoiled him rotten!
He grabbed Tian Laosi's ear again and insisted that he go chop firewood!
Tian Laosi…
Is he perhaps adopted by his mother?
Tian Guoguo felt the same way when she saw the old lady scolding her fourth son.
Was her fourth uncle a free gift when she bought rice?
There are rules for chopping firewood; you can't cut tender branches, but all the dead branches around them have already been cut down!
Tian Laosi was forced into prostitution by his own mother... no, I mean, he was forced into a corner and could only carry his wood-chopping knife and walk away.
This made Tian Guoguo very happy.
She was just wondering how to get a pig, and since her fourth uncle was going to a distant place, she could give him the pig!
But before she could make a move...
Her fourth uncle suddenly let out an "Ah..."
Everyone looked up and wondered, "Where are Old Tian and the other three?"
From a nearby ditch came Tian Laosi's cries for help, "Help, help me..."
Everyone…
In conclusion, we've fallen into a trap!
Grandma Tian was furious. She rushed over, scolding Tian Laosi for not being able to do even this simple task properly, and for not being able to do anything at all...
What else can we do next?
But before she could finish her rant, she suddenly caught a glimpse of two people on the opposite hilltop.
If they were just ordinary villagers chopping wood, the old lady wouldn't have cared, but those two were clearly not villagers chopping wood.
One of them was dressed in black night clothes and had a large knife at his waist.
Opposite him was a person dressed in ordinary clothes. Upon closer inspection, the person's clothes and build resembled those of a villager from Anping Village…
The old woman had already walked to the pit where her son had fallen in.
But because she felt that the person dressed in commoners' clothes looked like a villager from Anping Village, she stopped and thought carefully about who he looked like.
Tian Yixuan also ran over carrying his younger sister; he wanted to rescue his fourth uncle.
Seeing that his grandmother was standing still, he thought she didn't know how to save his fourth uncle, so he said...
"Grandma, don't worry, we have a rope..."
Before the rope could finish speaking, Grandma Tian suddenly pulled him and Guoguo down to squat down!
…
Tian Yixuan was completely bewildered by the pull.
Just as he was about to ask his grandma what was going on, Tian Guoguo quickly covered her brother's mouth and gestured for him to look across the street.
Tian Yixuan looked at him, puzzled.
The men in black on the opposite hilltop happened to be looking over.
The two mountain peaks are quite far apart, so under normal circumstances, Grandma Tian and the others cannot hear each other when they are talking on one side.
But the man in black was clearly a martial artist.
People who practice martial arts have more sensitive hearing than ordinary people; he must have heard the sound from this side.
Fortunately, the old lady pulled her grandson and granddaughter to lie down in time, and the man in black turned his head away after looking for a while without seeing anyone.
What else did he say to the villagers across the street...?
Finally, the villager who had been standing suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to him desperately.
The man in black seemed not to hear him and strode away.
After the men in black had gone far away, the villagers got up dejectedly and started to walk back.
The villagers had previously been standing or kneeling in profile, but now their faces were finally visible. The old woman frowned the moment she saw his face.
After a moment's thought, the old lady quickly helped Yixuan pull Tian Laosi up, had them carry the firewood, and then she carried Xiaoguoguo and hurried back.
Tian Guoguo could guess what her grandmother was thinking, and she understood her grandmother's intention to go back quickly, but...
Her pig hasn't been released yet!
That's enough!
It seems like it's not going to work out today, let's try again tomorrow!
The back mountain was not far from the Tian family's house. The old lady first took her children and grandchildren home, and then told Tian Laosi to hurry up and go to the fields to find General Cui.
When General Cui saw that Tian Laosi was in a hurry, he thought something had happened at home, so he put down his hoe and rushed back!
Tian Laosi chased after him the whole way, but he couldn't catch up!
As soon as he entered, he called out, "Auntie..."
The old lady heard his voice and quickly came out of the house.
General Cui was about to ask what had happened, but before he could speak, the old lady pretended to be nonchalant and said something.
"The general is back! Come inside and rest!"
General Cui was a smart man and immediately understood that the old lady had something to tell him!
He didn't ask any more questions and quickly followed them inside.
At the same time, the old lady asked Tian Laosi to call the village chief and the head of the neighborhood committee.
Before they arrived, the old lady had already told General Cui about the back mountain and confirmed that the villager was Zhao Bing!
General Cui did not recognize Zhao Bing.
But it just so happens that Wang Youcai and Yang Qiuci know each other when they walk in!
They just didn't know what had happened...
The old lady told them everything.
Yang Qiuci frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
Wang Youcai's eyes widened. "You, are you sure that person is Zhao Bing?"
Wang Youcai had only been in Anping Village for a short time, and he was worried that the old lady might have mistaken him for someone else.
You should know that Zhao Bing was his follower.
Speaking of followers, we have to mention Wang Youcai, who is extremely proud. Whenever he goes out on official business, he always brings his followers with him.
It seems like this is the only way to demonstrate his status!
His criteria for choosing his followers were quite bizarre; one was fat and the other was thin, and their names were also quite intriguing.
The fat man's name is Wang Yi.
The skinny guy's name is Zhao Bing.
When he came to the Tian family to take Li Chunxiang away at noon, he brought Wang Yi and Zhao Bing with him. At that time, the old lady didn't recognize the two men...
It was only after they left that the village chief mentioned their names as a joke, and that's when the old lady found out.
The old lady couldn't possibly mistake someone she'd just seen at noon!
She confirmed, "It's him, your skinny sidekick."
After the old lady finished speaking, she looked around the yard. Seeing that Zhao Bing was nowhere to be seen, she breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't alert him!
The term "follower" is a bit too direct...
Wang Youcai was momentarily embarrassed!
General Cui's expression darkened.
Tian Guoguo told him about the process of catching the "evil spirit" in Qingshan Village, which included sending the fake Doctor Li to Dabao's house.
They sent "Doctor Li" to Da Bao's house because they were afraid the "evil spirit" would notice their unusual activity.
At the same time, it was also thought that since the "evil spirit" wanted to harm Da Bao, it would definitely go to check on Da Bao's situation in person or send someone else.
As a result, only Wang Youcai and his two henchmen went to Da Bao's house that night.
But the "evil spirit" is Hao Lizheng.
Everyone thought this was an unnecessary step they had taken!
But now it seems...
It's likely that Zhao Bing has already been bribed by Hao Lizheng, and there might even be an even bigger "evil spirit" behind them.
Moreover, judging from what Grandma Tian saw in the back mountain, it seems that the "big ghost" will likely bring harm to Anping Village.
General Cui immediately summoned a personal guard and ordered, "Send someone to keep a close eye on Zhao Bing!"
The guards responded and immediately went to carry it out.
Seeing that things were not going well, Wang Youcai guessed what was going on and quickly knelt down in front of General Cui to explain.
