By the time the two of them returned to Yejia Village, it was already evening.
This is according to the time when I go to the Yamen to go through the procedures.
Anyway, people in the village will not go to the county government office to ask what is going on. Countryside people are most afraid of seeing officials. Moreover, the county town is far away and it is not easy to go there. No matter how much people like gossip, they don't have the time to ask around.
The late-night burglary was just over.
We went to Zhang's house first and picked up Ye Mancang, Dabai, and, oh, two wild boars.
The wild boar was hunted by Dabai. Ye Mancang and Zhang Dongqiang tied two simple wooden frames with tree vines and dragged them back together.
As for the pheasants and rabbits, Ye Mancang packed them all up and roasted them.
The two of them had a full stomach and had enough rest. They walked directly back to Zhang's house along a small road in the afterglow of the setting sun, only one step ahead of Ye Xusheng and the others.
Ye Mancang, who had a great time, was in such a good mood that he couldn't wait to show off when he saw Ye Xusheng. Naturally, Dabai showed off his bravery and was very proud of Yourong.
Seeing his energetic expression, Ye Xusheng's dull heart relaxed a lot.
After bidding farewell to the Zhang family and his son, Ye Mancang drove the mule cart back slowly and leisurely, taking this opportunity to clarify his speech to the outside world.
When we turned into the alley of Lao Ye's house, it was already dusk and the dusk was dim.
"The ones talking to sister Xin'er seem to be the Guan brothers."
Ye Xusheng, who was stroking Dabai, suddenly raised his head and looked over with sharp eyes.
Sure enough, he saw Guan Mingwei, who was dressed in a sky-blue straight robe and tall and tall, talking to Xin'er with his head slightly lowered.
The light seemed dim and gray, and from a distance, the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.
But Ye Xusheng's intuition told him that the man was looking at his little girl with a gentle face and affectionate feelings.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to speak calmly and said, "Well, it's him."
"Haha, this kid rarely sees anyone in the town academy. It's a coincidence that he came back today and tasted fresh wild boar meat."
Ye Xusheng was silent for a moment and did not respond.
While he was talking, the mule cart quickly arrived in front of the house.
"Cousin, cousin of Mancang~"
He Xiner was like a happy butterfly, fluttering over lightly.
Guan Mingwei also came forward to welcome him.
It seems that the two of them specially greeted them at the door.
"Brother Mancang, Xu Sheng."
Ye Xusheng jumped out of the car, and Ye Mancang also stopped the mule cart and exchanged polite greetings.
He Xiner, who was the first to swoop in, was thrown into Dabai's arms. She immediately left her cousin behind and hugged Dabai's fluffy head with a smile as clear as a silver bell.
"Haha, not seeing you for one day is like three autumns. I miss you so much!"
Ye Xusheng...
Last time, when Xin'er said this to him, he felt like drinking honey, and his heart was filled with sweetness. But now that he was saying this to a stupid dog, his heart was so sour that it was almost dripping with water.
So, the generals who were still stroking Dabai and praising him in various ways now looked at him with daggers in their eyes.
Dabai silently rolled his eyes.
——
The upper room of Lao Ye's house was full of people.
In addition to the three old brothers Ye Tou, Guan Xiuyuan and Ye Shitian, there are also Ye Changshou and Ye Fuyun, Ye Changsheng is also there, and there are several elders.
Ye Mancang and Ye Xusheng knew that everyone was waiting, so they ignored the wild boar in the car and entered the upper room with Guan Mingwei.
As the village chief, Ye Changshou rarely had to ask questions.
Ye Xusheng said calmly that the thief did not dare to quibble when he saw the official. He confessed to the crime and was punished with twenty pieces of banquet and sentenced to exile.
Everyone took a breath together.
If you go down twenty boards, your skin will be torn apart, and if you are sentenced to exile, you will definitely die on the way.
So, you can’t commit any crime, it’s too scary.
Almost all of these people have children and grandchildren, and they couldn't help but reflect on the issue of educating their children and grandchildren.
When I get home, I will use this negative teaching material to beat up some naughty boys.
