Chapter 8 A small blow hit Taohuawu. It was still early. People along the road were surprised when they saw a carriage passing by. They didn’t know where the carriage was going. They all looked at the covered room that they rarely see seriously.
Cars, just like modern people are sighing when they see a famous car.
Ma Changfa kept turning around to ask Xiu'er how to get there, and drove the car carefully. Seeing so many people staring at him, he felt a little upset and uncomfortable, and suddenly he was about to lose his temper, so he followed her.
A group of naughty children shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Be careful, you're being run over!"
The child was not obedient, but moved closer, and kept making noises, shouting: "Oh, oh, oh, the big carriage is coming! Look at the big carriage."
The further you go into the village, the narrower the road becomes and the more difficult it becomes to walk.
It happened to be a heavy rain last night. At this moment, the road was very bad. The wheels of the car were deeply sunk into the muddy path. The horses' hooves were so high that they threw the mud onto the hood of the car, making a "squeaking" sound.
Ke Han was used to living in the city. Even when he traveled across time and came to Huai County, he always walked around in the courtyard of the county government office. He had never seen such a difficult road, so he babbled unaccustomedly: "Mom
Damn it! This broken road needs to be repaired!"
Xiu'er was eager to return home. When she saw that she was almost at the door of her house, she was stuck on the road. She was so anxious that she broke away from Ke Han's support and jumped out of the car. However, she fell again due to inertia, causing
He was covered in mud, but he started to cry regardless, shouting with tears in his eyes: "Daddy!..."
"Xiu'er! You, don't..." Inadvertently, Xiu'er fell to the ground. Ke Han blamed himself very much, and then shouted to Ma Changfa, "Stop, Ma Changfa, then, that Xiu'er...
"
Only then did everyone realize that the car was heading for Xiuer's house, and their expressions became complicated.
Everyone in the village knows Xiu'er, and they all know that after her family was forced into debt by Taohuawu rich man Zhang, Xiu'er was deceived into being introduced to a wealthy family as a maid, and she also paid a deposit in advance and paid off part of the debt.
, but I don’t know that she was taken as a concubine by that corrupt official. Oh, this poor beautiful girl!
But everyone didn't know that on the wedding day, Xiu'er fought to the death and refused to obey.
Just when the magistrate reached out to take off her clothes, she grabbed the vase on the bedside table, held it tightly, and hit the magistrate on the forehead. Immediately, the corrupt official's head was bleeding profusely, which was scary.
Xiu'er knew that there was a murder case and that she could not escape death, so she cleaned up the scene, straightened her clothes, picked up the scissors and prepared to commit suicide
But suddenly, there was a strong wind, and after a burst of lightning and thunder, the county magistrate woke up on his own!
Damn it! What a fate?!...
When there was danger that night, he was still able to stand up and fight for his own safety?! This dog officer is both hated and loved!
Xiu'er ran all the way thinking about the past. She no longer worried about Ke Han's safety. She just hated her own misery. She thought that she had a crush on the young county magistrate just now. Although he was full of ruffians, he also knew how to feel pain.
People, taking care of people, can make their parents feel relieved at a glance, and they are ready to really supplement the family income from time to time, but the father has to pass away?!
Xiu'er's mind flashed alternately with her father's sad face, and she became even more eager to fly back to her father. She felt even more sad and sad!
Xiu'er cried all the way
This is the first time Xiu'er returns home after a month of wandering around. What greets her is not the smiling faces of her parents, but... Xiu'er is heartbroken.
When the simple villagers saw that Xiuer had jumped out of the carriage and seemed to be running away, and even fell heavily, they all gathered around with pity.
Some people saw Xiu'er crying and secretly wiped their tears. Others were about to reach out to pull her, but then they heard Ke Han in official uniform yelling in the car, and stared at Ke Han angrily.
At this time, some people started to insult me without knowing what was going on.
"Young officer! Go away! Do you think this is your yamen? How dare you come here to act wild? Humph, that's such a bully! Just now you managed to 'please' away the debt collector Zhang CaoZhu, but here comes the rich man again."
You are a bird official who eats people's food but does not do anything for them! Damn, you are not going to let people live anymore?!"
"Everyone, young and old, come on! Don't let this bitch take another step -"
"Come on, get rid of this beast!"
"Go away...go away...go away...you are not welcome here!!"
For a while, the curses continued, and they all pretended to have a fight with the county magistrate.
Someone also brought rakes, hoes and other things and raised them to stop the carriage.
Ma Changfa kept silent, he just drove the car, whipped the whip in his hand hard, and made a crisp sound. He actually wanted to scare away everyone, but his arrogance only made everyone feel excited and suppressed.
Angry, the crowd roared and approached the carriage
Ma Changfa couldn't help it any longer. His hands moved towards his waist involuntarily, but Ke Han stopped him with the corner of his eye.
Xiu'er didn't say hello to anyone. She didn't know what happened to her old father. She just cried and ran towards home, not caring if she lost her shoes.
"Xiu'er! -" Ke Han shouted loudly and hurried over to pick up Xiu'er's shoes, but was blocked by someone.
When Ma Changfa saw this, he was afraid that the master would suffer a loss, so he quickly jumped out of the carriage and protected Ke Han.
The crowd started cheering again, gathered around, cut the reins with knives, rounded the poles in their hands and slapped them on the horse's buttocks. After driving the horses away, they worked together to overturn the carriage, and used hoes to destroy the hood. Then,
No matter what gestures Ke Han and Ma Chang made, they seemed to be relieved and walked away.
It is true that with Ma Changfa's skills, these people are simply vulnerable! However, this is Xiu'er's obedient mother's family! Public anger is hard to offend! What's more, there is a difficult master who needs to be eliminated urgently and a group of people who need to be trained in the yamen.
You idiot, at this time, you must not cause any more trouble!
Ke Han, who was usually very sad, couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He sent Xiu'er home, but he was blocked at the entrance of the village! What kind of world is this? Fortunately, I am still a local emperor!
For the first time, Ke Han felt a sense of frustration. He and Ma Changfa stood blankly on the muddy path, watching helplessly as the horse galloped away from him as if frightened.
"No!" Ke Han snorted.
In just a short moment, Ke Han, who had just stopped Ma Chang from making a move, lost his temper again. He thought in his heart: How can he be treated like this? What a failure! Of course, I don't follow these
Ordinary people have ordinary knowledge, but they want to see how those rich and wealthy people can explain to me what kind of rich man Zhang is? How do they manage these tenants? The county magistrate came to inspect in person, and this safety work is so unbearable? I remember when I worked for that American-owned company
, even if a small clerk wants to come over, the whole company still has to do enough 5s work and welcome the inspection in a very decent way! If there is any omission, I am afraid that I will be criticized by the headquarters and my bonus will be deducted.
His grandma, you nouveau riche, local rich people, do you want to hang out one by one?! Let me worry about you? No way!
"Let's go find that rich man Zhang!" Ke Han had a thought in his heart and said to Ma Chang, "Hating the rich and officials is a common trick of the Chinese people. We can't just waste it like this!"
Ma Chang was stunned for a moment. Ke Han saw it and smiled. He knew that he said something that he couldn't understand, so he took the lead and walked back.
"But, where are we going to find that rich man Zhang's house?" Ma Changfa still asked uneasily.
Ke Han chuckled and said, "You still have to ask? Can't you use your brain to think about it? Will Zhang's family be in this slum? It's true!"
Ma Changfa suddenly slapped his head, smiled sheepishly, and asked: "That horse...?"
"Don't worry, it will come back!" Ke Han also said with a smile, "Go and find a thicker branch for me to lean on. It's not easy to ride in this car! Well, at such a young age, it has
Can’t afford to bother? It seems that I should pick up the Tai Chi practice again after losing it for a long time!”
"Master knows Tai Chi?" Ma Changfa was a little surprised, "How come you haven't heard of it before? Hey, master has hidden it quite well! Can you teach me someday?"
"Go!" Ke Han knew he had let it slip. Of course, if it hadn't wasted a little time practicing this skill, with his own intelligence, he wouldn't have just entered a third-rate university and become a programmer! He really doesn't know what he is doing now.
Not wanting to expose his kung fu prematurely, he pretended to be humble and said, "Like you, I only learned a little bit when I was young, so how dare I show off in such a shameful way? However, I really should learn this kung fu, and I can't expect to be criticized all the time.
Protect?"
After this fuss, Ke Han really felt a little itchy. However, knowing that his identity had changed, he had to keep a low profile. At least, he couldn't bully others!
After a while, the two of them walked to the entrance of a courtyard. At a glance, they knew that this was a wealthy family in Taohuawu. Probably only people like Rich Man Zhang were worthy of such a chic family.
But when I saw this courtyard, it really looked like this: red bricks and green tiles, with eaves pointing to the sky; a vermilion door with a copper edge; a carved wall with pictures of the four seasons; two lanterns hanging high under the eaves; a pair of couplets on both sides of the door.
Like a smiling face...
"All year round, every season is like spring, and enjoying the game is like a fairy! The sun sets and the moon shines, it is clear that blessings will always be there, and good luck only resides in the Zhang family!" This is really the Zhang family!
Ke Han silently recited the couplet posted on the door, and couldn't help but secretly feel jealous. Good guy, the county government where I live is no more than that! This person's life is comfortable, and he must be much better than the old man.
?Looking at Hengpi again, it turned out to be: Sure enough, hum! What an arrogant tone! Do you think I won’t punish him?
Ke Han was already on fire in his heart. When he saw such a wealthy man who knew nothing about the world, he was almost shocked. He groaned angrily at Ma Chang and blew out two words from his nose: "Knock on the door!"
Seeing Ke Han's anger, Ma Changfa didn't hesitate. He raised his fist like a hammer and smashed the door. Just like Ke Han, he just gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Open the door!..."
