The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Chapter 553 Return to the Village



Chapter 553 Return to the Village

The third brother took Da Zhuang out of the Huwei Fighting Shop and saw that it was getting late.

Thinking about the location of Baoshan Town that Dazhuang had mentioned before, he gritted his teeth and spent money to find a car.

At this time, there were a total of four people on the ox cart heading to Baoshan Town, except for the old man driving the cart.

From the moment they got in the car, the third brother was afraid that Da Zhuang would expose him by speaking, so he kept his arms tightly around Da Zhuang's shoulders.

Coupled with Da Zhuang's nervous expression, the couple riding in the ox cart also looked at them from time to time.

Seeing this, the third brother looked even more nervous.

He leaned close to Dazhuang's ear and lowered his voice to threaten him with his father's life.

Da Zhuang looked at the somewhat kind couple, then looked at the fierce third brother beside him, and sighed silently.

Seeing that the couple was looking at him with some worry, he smiled at them.

Seeing this, the couple also breathed a sigh of relief.

When we first got in the car, I saw the young man holding the child tightly.

Coupled with the child's nervous look, they thought they had encountered a beggar!

Now, judging from the child's appearance, it shouldn't be the case.

The few of them rode back in the ox cart, and about halfway through, the couple got off the cart.

Seeing this, the third brother secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When the ox cart arrived at Baoshan Town, it was not yet completely dark.

At the entrance of the village, the third brother saw people walking in the village from time to time, so he hurriedly pulled Dazhuang to hide in the wasteland nearby.

The two hid until dark. The third brother felt that he could not see clearly, so he plucked up his courage and walked inside with Dazhuang.

Along the way, the broken blade in his hand was always against Dazhuang's waist.

As it was hot today and he was wearing thin clothes, Dazhuang could clearly feel the position of the tip of the knife.

I had originally thought of finding a chance to ask for help after entering the village, so now I didn't dare to move.

On the way, I occasionally met villagers from Baoshan Town at the foot of the mountain, carrying buckets of water to the fields.

Some people who knew Dazhuang would say hello to him when they met him.

Da Zhuang felt the tip of the knife on his back about to pierce his flesh, but he endured the pain and greeted the villagers.

Every time they greeted each other, the third brother became extremely nervous.

Only by pushing the tip of the knife further forward can I feel safe.

He thought it would be safer after dark, but he didn't expect that most people in the village now stay out at night and hide during the day.

At this time, the villagers all carried buckets of water and prepared to water the fields.

The third brother looked at the people in the village and their lifestyle were completely different from those of the beggars. He cursed in his heart that these peasants were not afraid of being worked to death.

But we've already come this far. If we go back, not only will it arouse suspicion, but we won't be able to get the money either.

The third brother thought about it, gritted his teeth and continued walking inside.

When he arrived at the north of the village, he was already sweating all over his face from nervousness.

Seeing that Dazhuang was still planning to go in, he lowered his voice and questioned Dazhuang.

When I heard that Dazhuang's house was at the foot of the mountain and that we still needed to climb the mountain, I almost died of anger.

But as the saying goes, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back, so he can only grit his teeth and continue on his way.

When the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, the pharmaceutical factory on the east side had stopped operating.

Cooking was going on there, and the sounds of men chatting and laughing as they washed up could be heard throughout the camp.

As soon as I walked into the village at the foot of the mountain, I met Lu Tianfu who was walking out.

He was about to go water the plants with a bucket of water when he saw Da Zhuang coming back.

I thought that the person following Dazhuang was Boss Lu.

But as the two men got closer, he found that the person behind Da Zhuang was someone he didn't recognize.

He glanced at the man's face for a few times, and after confirming that he was not an acquaintance, he said to Da Zhuang:

"Da Zhuang, you're back from school. Why are you back so late today?

By the way, where is your father? Why didn’t he come back with you? "

When the third brother heard the familiar tone of the man, he thought something was wrong.

He held the blade in his hand and pushed it forward again, and before Da Zhuang could speak, he smiled and said:

"Dad Dazhuang got drunk in the city and didn't bring enough money.

Look, the shopkeeper asked me to come back with him to get the money for the wine."

Lu Tianfu was shocked to hear that Boss Lu owed him money for the wine.

Although Boss Lu is a bit of a bastard, I have never heard of him being an alcoholic.

Not to mention, he used to think that Boss Lu was a little too stingy, unwilling to spend even a few cents, and not like a man.

Now, you are willing to spend money drinking in the city and still owe money?

Lu Tianfu thought about it and still felt something was wrong. He stared at Dazhuang and the man behind him and asked:

"Da Zhuang, is what he said true? Would your father be willing to drink in a restaurant in the city?"

As Lu Tianfu asked the question, Dazhuang felt a pain in his back. The tip of the knife had pierced through his clothes and entered his flesh.

He felt that the knife on his waist was still showing signs of moving inward, so he had no choice but to nod.

Lu Tianfu knew that Dazhuang was an obedient and sensible child, so he believed it when he saw him nod.

Then he sighed and cursed:

"Boss Lu, his life was finally getting better, but now he's got this nasty habit of drinking!

No, I have to go tell your grandfather that this alcoholic can't save money.

You will need a lot of money to go to school in the future!"

Seeing that he was getting angrier and angrier, the third brother was afraid that he would really call someone over, so he urged him:

"Okay, it's getting late, hurry up and get the money for the wine, I have to go back and report to the shopkeeper!"

As he said this, he held the knife against Da Zhuang and walked forward.

As he watched the person walk away, Lu Tianfu felt more and more that something was wrong.

Especially the look Da Zhuang gave him before he left.

Although he couldn't see clearly, he felt that Da Zhuang seemed to be asking for help.

Oh no, I guess something happened to Dazhuang and his father!

The first person Lu Tianfu thought of when he realized he was in trouble was Lu Tianming.

But he soon realized that his omnipotent cousin had already gone to the provincial capital.

The second person that came to mind was Lu Qingqing.

His body moved ahead of his brain. By the time he thought of Lu Qingqing, he had already run west to Lu Qingqing's home.

When he arrived, Qin Lang had already taken a bucket of water to water the fields, and Lu Qingqing was the only one at home.

After hearing what Lu Tianfu said, Lu Qingqing immediately reacted.

Dazhuang and Wang Gui are in trouble!

If it was Boss Lu, he might have gotten drunk and had no money to pay.

But Wang Gui's personality makes it impossible for him to do such a thing.

Thinking of this, she quickly returned to the house, took out the bow and arrow and the big knife from the space, and ran outside.

Lu Tianfu looked at Lu Qingqing who was running away, and was about to tell her to slow down and call some people over to prevent her from getting hurt.

But at this time, Lu Qingqing had already disappeared.

Lu Tianfu quickly turned his brain, which had not been used for a long time, and soon thought of the old village chief.

Forget it, he knows what he is thinking, so let’s ask my uncle for the decision!

Thinking of this, he quickly ran towards the old village chief's house.

On the other side, Lu Qingqing ran towards Dazhuang's house, carrying the bow and arrow on her back and hanging the big knife on her waist behind her.

As soon as he adjusted himself, he ran to Dazhuang's house.

At this time, the gate of Dazhuang's house was wide open, and a dim oil lamp could be seen lit in the house.

Lu Qingqing thought about it, took a few steps back to gather strength, and then accelerated in three or two steps to rush to the top of the wall.

But this location has no obstruction and is easy to be discovered.

She half-crouched on the wall and moved quickly toward the shed to the west.

The thatched hut that was higher than the courtyard wall was not only suitable for hiding, but was also located on the side of the door, which was just right.

After hiding for a while, there was a noise at the door.

Soon, a familiar figure appeared at the door, followed closely by a thin young man.

Lu Qingqing has always had good eyesight, and she clearly saw the small piece of the blade that the man held against Dazhuang's waist.

Without any hesitation, Lu Qingqing pulled the bowstring that had been prepared long ago.

There was a scream of "Ah", and the man fell to the ground, covering his arm and howling miserably.
