Listening to Jiang Haoguang's group crying and cursing, Dong Youtian and the others learned that Jiang Yi was eaten by a wolf on the mountain yesterday.
Logically speaking, since everyone is dead, it is not time to worry about any deep grudges at this time. However, it is infuriating to accuse someone unjustly.
Higashikata said angrily: "We burned paper on the top of the mountain, but we didn't see a wolf. Where was Jiang Yi eaten by a wolf? Let the county magistrate send a head catcher to check!"
Shuan Zhu sneered: "That's right, Jiang Yi was eaten by a wolf. What does it matter to us? We didn't raise the wolf! He's not that unreasonable!"
Dong Youyin said: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, what is he doing up the mountain? He won't steal food with any wife, will he meet a wolf?"
Dong Shi said: "I think so. Stop grabbing and biting randomly and go find out who he went to the mountain with!"
Jiang Haoguang was speechless. He knew that it was far-fetched to blame his son's death on this group of people, but his son was eaten by a wolf and he couldn't catch the wolf. He had to find someone to hate in order to feel better.
Jiang Haoguang's daughter-in-law subconsciously thought the same thing. She almost collapsed and cried: "It's you! It's you who killed my son! There were so many of you and you burned paper, which attracted the wolf, but the wolf didn't dare to approach you, so it ate me."
Son! If the wolf eats you and is full, he will not eat my son!"
The more I thought about it, the more it made sense, so I rushed over and wanted to beat Higashi Arita and the others.
Shuan Zhu took a step forward, placed the hatchet in his hand in front of her, and said coldly: "Crazy woman, you are looking for death!"
Others also raised sickles, axes, saws, etc., and stared at Jiang Haoguang and the others warily.
Jiang Haoguang and the others went up the mountain to look for someone, and they didn't bring any weapons or tools. If they fought at this time, they would obviously suffer a loss.
Jiang Haoguang said sadly: "Okay, okay, Jiang Yi's body is not cold yet, let's carry it back first!"
Most people still felt that Jiang Haoguang's daughter-in-law's remarks were too ridiculous, and they had no intention of making a fuss about it, so they went down the mountain surrounded by Jiang Yi's body.
Shuan Zhu spat at their backs, "Bah! It's so damn fresh, it all depends on us! With parents like this, nothing good can grow! No wonder they are being punished!"
Higashikata sighed and said, "Forget it, their son has died anyway, so we won't be like them anymore."
Dong Youyin was a little timid, "Brother, there are wolves on the mountain, and Si'er and Dalang are not here. Let's not go deep into the mountain. Let's find a few trees on the edge."
Without Dongming Ziyu, Shuan Zhu did not dare to take risks, saying: "Wolves come in groups and cannot be provoked. They will not go in."
Everyone had seen the terror of wolves on the way out, so they cut down a few trees on the side of the mountain and carried the branches back together. They saw everyone gathered at the door talking about something. The atmosphere was very solemn and solemn.
Shuan Zhu's face darkened, he put down the tree, strode over and asked, "What's going on? Jiang Haoguang and the others are here to make trouble?"
Dong Chunlei said solemnly: "No, I heard that Jiang Yi was eaten by a wolf!"
Erlang said: "I heard that all that was left was the skeleton! I could only identify him with his clothes and shoes. How miserable!"
"Yeah, it's so miserable!"
"It's such a pity that you are so young!"
"Alas! The young man in his prime is gone like this, but his parents feel so sad for him!"
"His two children are even more pitiful. His mother went to the rapeseed fields and was divorced, and his father died again. Alas!"
They were all kind-hearted people, and they all lamented and regretted endlessly.
Shangguan Ruoli's eyes darkened slightly and he asked Shuan Zhu, "Why did you just say that Jiang Haoguang and the others came here to cause trouble?"
Shuan Zhu angrily learned what Jiang Haoguang's daughter-in-law said about relying on them, and said: "I thought they brought Jiang Yi's body to the house to cause trouble."
Dong Chunlei said angrily: "How dare they! There is no way for them to do so!"
Mr. Dong was so angry that he was speechless, "Why are there such unreasonable people! I have lived so long, and I have learned a lot today!"
So everyone started scolding and didn't feel sorry for Jiang Haoguang's son after his wife died.
Jiang Haoguang still felt that Jiang Yi's death was strange, so he reported it to the police. The arrester took the officials to the mountain to investigate. No abnormalities were found, but he was eaten by wolves.
As for why Jiang Yi went up the mountain on the second day of the Lunar New Year, no one knows.
Dongming Ziyu heard about it when he came back, but didn't express any opinion. The shop was not rented, but the bricks and tiles were fixed and could not be burned until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. They didn't celebrate the New Year, but others had to celebrate the New Year.
But there was also work to do, digging the foundation, paving it with stones, felling wood to prepare purlins and beams, preparing firewood, and purchasing raw materials.
Everyone didn't need wages, just two meals. Mrs. Qian took several of her daughters-in-law and nephews-in-law to cook for them.
Shangguan Ruoli gave children literacy classes in the morning and arithmetic classes in the afternoon. He also had to teach a few apprentices medical skills and help with cooking.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Dongming Ziyu went out to buy by himself. He took the opportunity to pull out two cows from the space and lied about buying them. He asked around and found that no one here knew about cows. Drinking milk was common.
Milk produced by farm cattle.
The two flowered cows caused a sensation as soon as they entered Nanbeixi Village. They were surrounded by two cows, and everyone asked: "What kind of animal is this? Why does it look like a cow?"
Dongming Ziyu said: "This is a cow, called a cow. It specializes in producing milk. I heard that it was sold from the grassland in the north."
"Hey, no wonder the breasts are so big!" The speaker was a young widow. She puffed up her chest and winked at Dongming Ziyu.
The wives and old ladies giggled, their eyes sparkling at Dongming Ziyu.
Dongming Ziyu was the most handsome and charming man they had ever seen. Everyone loves beauty, so they couldn't help but look at him again and again.
Dongming Ziyu's face darkened, as if he had eaten a fly, and he quickly led the cow to the east of the village.
The adults were too embarrassed to follow, but the children all ran over, running around the cows looking at the wonders, chirping and asking innocent questions, full of curiosity.
The people of the Dongzhou family were also surprised when they saw it. Everyone who saw it gathered around and asked curiously: "Is this a cow? Why is it made of flowers?"
Dongming Ziyu had no choice but to explain: "This is a cow, specially made to produce milk."
Gouziniang asked: "Why did your family buy a cow?"
Dongming Ziyu said: "My family wants to use milk to make food and sell it in the town, so we can build an additional house."
When everyone heard it, they all became envious.
The lively one asked: "If you are too busy, can we help?"
Dongming Ziyu said: "That's natural, but let's test the water from the beginning. If it really gets serious, I'll have to trouble all the aunts and sisters-in-law to help."
Everyone laughed, knowing that what he said was not polite. After escaping from famine, they trusted Dongming Ziyu.
"Dad! Dad!" Wulang ran out of the house like a cannonball, raising his little arms from afar for a hug.
Dongming Ziyu bent down to pick him up and held him in his arms.
"Dad, you're back. I've been thinking about you." Wulang kissed him. When he saw the two cows, his eyes lit up and he said, "Are these cows?"
Dongming Ziyu nodded, "Yes."
Several men put down their work to welcome them out, and looked around the cow.
Shiro walked around the cow and asked curiously: "Where is the milk?"
They now have a mule at home, but it has no offspring. There was a famine for three years, and the animals were sold and eaten long ago, and they don't remember it. There are also very few animals that go up to the mountains to transport ore.
Therefore, many children have never seen a cow producing milk.
Wulang also blinked his big eyes that were ignorant and eager for knowledge, looked at Dongming Ziyu, and asked: "Dad, where is the milk from the cow?"
