Chapter 1204 Mother’s Pride (Third Update)
“The Cao Min was not instigated by any means. Everything was caused by the Cao Min’s own narrow-mindedness and trivial grudges accumulated from dealing with the people of Changping Village in the past.”
"I was very happy to see them flooded now. I wanted to add insult to injury, so I deliberately flooded the canal. The double dragon stone tablet is buried in it..."
"My lords, if you want to beat or punish me, please come to me alone. My mother, wife and children at home don't know about it, so please let them go... ”
Gu Laojiu explained everything thoroughly like he was pouring beans through a bamboo tube, and then knocked his forehead on the ground.
There was a banging sound on Chao Wei Yixiao's side.
......
Wei Yixiao and others took Gu Laojiu and the Double Dragon Stone Tablet and returned to the county town to collect the charges. Here, Li Zheng and others left one or two people in the river canal. Watch on the side.
Others rushed back to Changping Village and called everyone to a meeting in front of the Tutu Temple overnight to discuss the matter.
Li was standing on a high platform where two tables were put together, telling the whole village the ins and outs of this incident.
The villagers were surprised when they heard this. After working for a long time, they found out that Gu Laojiu had buried the Double Dragon Stele!
Everyone is familiar with Gu Laojiu.
Suddenly, everyone was condemning Gu Laojiu.
In the past two days, the cloud of terror hanging over everyone's heads has disappeared because Gu Laojiu was arrested and the Double Dragon Stele was taken away.
Li Zheng finally announced that starting from tomorrow, the canal will continue to be excavated.
Then, he jumped down from the high platform and sent everyone back to their tents to sleep and start work tomorrow.
That night, almost every tent was discussing this matter, and everyone fell asleep very late.
In Widow Liu’s small tent.
Mu Zichuan squatted in front of Widow Liu and was immersed in washing Widow Liu's feet.
The wooden basin was filled with warm hot water. Mu Zichuan held Widow Liu's feet with both hands and rubbed them gently in the water.
"Mom, my son is unfilial. He has been gone for so long and left you alone in the village."
"When the flood hit, I was not with you and you were frightened."
" When you were sick, I wasn't by your side, and you suffered."
"My son is unfilial..."
Mu Zichuan whispered, with endless guilt in his voice. .
Widow Liu was sitting there. The woman raised her hand and caressed Mu Zichuan's head, with a look of kindness on her face.
"Silly son, you studied so hard and got the honors to make your mother proud."
"You worked hard to provide disaster relief and flood control for the benefit of our fellow villagers."
"My mother feels happy when she thinks that you are doing these important things. She is even happier than drinking honey water!"
Widow Liu said.
Mu Zichuan nodded silently.
"Mom, now that my son is back, why don't you come with me to live in the courtyard of Qing'er's house, and why don't you insist on living in this small tent?"
He asked again.
Since the first night back, he came to pick up his mother and live with him.
But my mother refused.
Until now, my mother has been living alone in this humid little tent.
Hearing Mu Zichuan’s words, Widow Liu smiled.
"Silly son, I don't want to cause you any trouble. I don't want the villagers to say that I am special because of you," she said.
Mu Zichuan didn’t like hearing this.
"I am your son. The kind of life I live will naturally lead to the same kind of life for my mother. Others have no right to gossip like this!" he said.
Widow Liu said: "I don't want to cause trouble to Qing'er."
"Her second uncle's family also lives in a tent next to the Tutu Temple."
"If I live After that, her second uncle and second mother have to make trouble again Go there."
"No matter how big Qing'er's yard is, the room is limited. Besides, it's fine for me to live in this small tent."
"I went to that big yard. Uncomfortable.”
Hearing what Widow Liu said, Mu Zichuan didn't know what to say. "Mom, don't worry, although the progress of the project has been delayed for a few days because of the Shuanglong Stone Monument."
"Next, my son will speed up the progress and strive to drain the flood as soon as possible. Rebuild the house and let mother live in her own yard!”
“Well, okay, mother is waiting!”
……
"Tangyaozi, why did you go to hold on to Gu Laojiu for so long? If you don't come back, I'm going to look for you!"
In the room, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but said to Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang said: "That Gu Laojiu is so cunning."
"The cunning rabbit has three burrows and hides everywhere. I lurked near his house for a day and a night, and finally waited until his wife went out to see him off. "Food."
"After following him, we finally found Gu Laojiu in an old house."
Yang Ruoqing thought for a while: "If nothing else, Gu Laojiu should be the one who instructed Wei Yixiao and the others."
"He took everything on his own. He probably didn't dare to offend Wei Yixiao for fear of harming his family. "
After listening to her analysis, Luo Fengtang nodded in agreement.
"I am also like this."
"When I interrogated Gu Laojiu beforehand, I gave him a pill as you told me to threaten him. Poison.”
"That Gu Laojiu, on the one hand, was afraid of our poison."
"On the other hand, he was afraid of the revenge of Wei Yixiao and others, so Xin Yiheng took it on his own," he said.
Yang Ruoqing sneered: "Extending your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife."
"This Gu Laojiu, it's strange that he couldn't stand the coercion and inducement of Wei Yixiao and others, so he left We are on a road of no return. "
This time I went to the county town and dared to carve the royal symbol 'dragon' in private.
This crime alone made it impossible for him to escape death.
"Hey, from now on, we have lost a senior mason in Mianniushan area." Luo Fengtang couldn't help but sigh.
Yang Ruoqing twitched her lips: "Without anyone, the sun will still rise from the east tomorrow."
"Besides, everyone has to be responsible for their own actions. Gu Laojiu, you don’t deserve sympathy!”
……
The crisis at the Double Dragon Monument finally ended for the best.
I finally had a comfortable sleep, and the next day, everything was back to normal.
As usual, the men followed Li Zheng, Luo Fengtang and Mu Zichuan to dig river channels and carry river mud.
Sun and a group of women were busy doing logistics.
After several more days like this, the floods in this area continued as the canal was dug forward, and the rain stopped and the sun came out in recent days.
Water levels are falling at a noticeable rate every day.
The villagers were very excited when they saw the effect of the canal.
Everyone is praising this strategy, it is good in a thousand or ten thousand ways.
But Yang Ruoqing still couldn't stay idle.
Looking at the little ones like Mianmian and Kang Xiaozi, her eyebrows knitted together.
It is already the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which is the hottest time of the year.
At this time of year, there are already a lot of mosquitoes, especially after evening, when there are a lot of them.
Coupled with the flooding, the humid and hot environment is a paradise for mosquitoes.
They specially pick these children to bite, maybe because they feel they are delicate and the blood smells delicious.
The picky eaters of mosquitoes harm the children.
For the time being, there are three updates, and there are two more updates in the process of being produced. Dear friends, don’t wait, and you will read it when you get up tomorrow morning. Good night.
