Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 279 Interrogation
Songbai Town, which was busy and noisy during the day, has already calmed down. Through the thin clouds, the moonlight shines on the road, replacing the thousands of fireworks.

Under the cover of night, a broken car drove into Songbai Town in a busy way.

The broken car circled around and stopped in front of a Gaojia pork shop on West Street.

There were only bits and pieces of meat left on the meat stand in front of the store, and the honest-looking boss was cleaning up the stall. He had bruised veins on the back of his hands, thick joints, and the meat cleaver looked like a toy in his hand.

Hear footsteps of customers.

The honest and honest butcher shop owner didn't look up, and said in a muffled voice, "The meat is sold out today, please go early tomorrow."

"A winding mountain road, take the goods to Jinshan." A man wearing a peaked cap in front of the booth said in a low voice.

The butcher shop owner suddenly raised his head, with a hint of sternness flashing through his honest and honest appearance, he looked left and right at the pedestrians on the street, and said loudly on purpose.

"I still have some meat in the house, so I'll use it first if you need it urgently. Wu Zi, get out and look at the stall, and hold your phone all day, so you won't be afraid of going blind."

After all, he turned and walked into the store.

The peaked cap hurriedly followed behind.

The two entered the back room, and just as the door was closed, the boss suddenly clasped the neck of the peaked cap with his backhand, and lifted the peaked cap firmly against the wall with his steel-like palm.

There was a muffled bang.

The walls are shaking.

"Say, who asked you to come, how could you know our incision." The face of the butcher shop owner lost his sincerity and became ferocious.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The peaked cap was stuck in his throat, and he had difficulty breathing. He struggled to take off the cap with both hands. It turned out to be Zheng Xi who had just been released from the detention center.

Zheng Xi's face was flushed, and she forcefully opened the palm clasped around her neck, begging.

"Bored, three. Third brother told me to come."

Hear the name boring.

The butcher shop owner let go of his hand in an instant, coughed twice, loudly and softly, and saw a secret door opened on the wall of the room, and two young men with guns in their hands flashed out from inside. Zheng Xi.

"Big brother."

"It's okay, it's Liu San's new board." The butcher shop owner waved his hand, signaling the young man to put down the guy in his hand, and then said to Zheng Xi, "Brother, your surname, don't worry about the matter just now, a lot of people have missed recently, always Be on your guard."

"Where are the three of Liu? He asked you to come over to give the money? Is it necessary to renege on three batches of mountain goods?" A young man raised his gun in his hand angrily, and Zheng Xi squatted on the ground with his head in his arms. His timid reaction drew laughter from the rest of the room.

It shouldn't be a needle.

Not so courageous to get a needle.

Zheng Xi scolded her secretly in her heart, regretting that she shouldn't be involved in the incident of revenge on Li Hongbing, and now it's hard to get off.

"Brother, drink some water." The butcher brought a glass of water and handed it to Zheng Xi, "How is Liu San now? How long will it take to come out?"

Zheng Xi took the water glass, drank it all in one gulp, and shook his head bitterly, "No time, the whole Wang family has been judged all over."

Knowing that Liu San was sentenced to life, the butcher shop owner didn't take it seriously, "I'm in the business of selling wild goods, with my head hanging on my trouser belt, sooner or later. It's fine if I don't eat peanuts. He asked you to speak?"

hear this.

Zheng Xi hurriedly put down the cup, hesitated for a moment, and said what Liu Sanchuan had said without hesitation, "The third brother said that you have cleared up the idea, so I will give you all the mountain money, without leaving a cent."

The idea is clear!

The butcher shop owner was stunned, as were the two young men in the room who were playing with guns.

"Liu San made it clear, or is it all clear?"

This!
Zheng Xi's head was a little confused, and he also forgot at the time whether Liu San said it was cleared or completely cleared.

"It seems to be all clear."

The butcher shop owner frowned, took out his cigarette and smoked it three times in a row, as if he had made a decision, "Got it, Sheng Zi, you and this brother go to see your feet, and Qiang Zi and I prepare something, and leave when we're done. "

I!
Zheng Xi opened his mouth and sighed silently as he watched the two young men dismantle the guns.

This road is getting more and more sideways.

Li's old house.

Set a time to plant trees tomorrow morning, and send them away to help the villagers.

Greeting Dakui and the others to stay home for dinner, the gang of gentlemen looked at Shan Xing next to Uncle Hong Bing, and someone said to take it easy at night, and walked away happily.

Li Hong was speechless to these people, and couldn't think of anything serious all day long.

He took Shan Xing's hand and walked into the courtyard gate.

With the smoke rising from the chimney, the smell of home wafts from the kitchen.

Li Hongbing leaned on the deck chair, enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the meadow.

Meow!

Suddenly, a meow sounded, and then a black shadow rushed into the rice field from the wall, and jumped into Li Hongbing's arms.

"Back?" Li Hongbing caressed the princess's black fur like silk.

Meow!

The princess looked coquettishly coquettish, she couldn't stop rubbing Li Hongbing's chin with her head.

At this moment.

The wolf dogs also came home from the outside, and the deserted yard was much more lively.

Shan Xing leaned out from the kitchen, "Silly boy, why haven't you come back after picking up Anna and Nannan?"

return?

I'm afraid those two little girls dare not come back.

Li Hongbing is very experienced in this kind of thing. When he was a child and was sued for doing bad things, he would hide outside and dare not go home, because a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots was indispensable when he went home.

"Da Hua, is Anna outside?"

Ow!

Dahua nodded.

"Go and catch her." Li Hongbing raised his hand, and the four dogs ran towards the gate of the courtyard.

Not for a while.

Anna's bluffs were heard from the direction of the courtyard gate.

"Da Hua, don't bite my clothes."

"Xiaobai, don't pull my pants."

The four wolfhounds bit Anna's clothes and pant legs respectively, and dragged them into the old house.

Nannan and Shawa smiled and followed behind to watch the fun.

Fortunately, there were no outsiders around, otherwise it was because the wolf ran out of the mountains to steal the child.

Anna was dragged in front of Li Hongbing by the wolf dogs, and the villain immediately complained, "Father, the big flowers bullied me."

snort!
Li Hongbing ignored her and continued to flirt with the princess.

Anna blinked her big eyes, and hurriedly changed her tone, "Dad, I miss you so much, I can't fall asleep thinking about it!"

While talking, he moved closer to Li Hongbing, trying to fool the night away.

"Stop, don't come over."

Li Hongbing sat up from the reclining chair, holding the princess in his arms, and pointed to the chair not far away, "Dahua, give her the chair."

Dahua put the chair behind Anna with her mouth in her mouth.

In this situation, Anna knew that she couldn't escape tonight.

slap!

Sit down on the chair honestly.

【Li Family Judgment Conference】

Presiding judge: Li Hongbing

Judges: Shawa, Nannan, Wolfdog, Princess

Person under trial: Li Anna

Li Hongbing grimaced, took off his shoes casually, waved them in his hand a few times, "Tell me, why are you playing truant?"

Anna looked at the shoes timidly, and said weakly, "Hey, I'm going to school, and when I see a peddler on the road, Tie Dan and the others just follow behind the peddler, and I follow."

Salesman!
Li Hongbing thought back to the past.

"Ring! Ringing. Ringing! Ringing"

"Pot handles, spatulas, sewing buttons, washbasins, scissors, hairpins, rattles."

This sound is the most profound memory of Li Hongbing's childhood life. Whenever he heard bells and shouts in the village, he knew it was a salesman, and the whole village would come out to greet him.

At that time, the salesman was riding a pedal tricycle, with a copper bell hanging from the handlebar, and the bucket was filled with various things, which in Li Hongbing's eyes was like a treasure chest.

Popsicles, watermelon candies, figs, whistle candies, fast food noodles, monk meat
Among them, Tangseng meat is Li Hongbing's favorite food. Tangseng meat is actually a kind of spicy strips, which costs 1 cents a bag.

Because at that time, both adults and children liked to watch Journey to the West, so this kind of spicy strips was very popular. If you can eat a bag of Tang Monk meat, you will feel like you will live forever.

There are also shredded figs, a bit like shredded radish, covered with a layer of white powder, which should be the seasoning. It tastes chewy, sweet and sour.

Whistle candy is a kind of candy with double-layer design. It costs 5 cents a piece. It can be blown in the mouth. It can be eaten and played. Call a lively.

But the living conditions at that time were difficult, and it was a problem for every family to eat. Who had spare money to buy snacks for the baby.

At this time, the role of the salesman is highlighted, because the salesman not only sells things, but also receives things.

Wild animals, as small as mountain herbal medicines, are all acquisition targets.

As the saying goes, you rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water.

Little kids like Li Hongbing didn't dare to go into the mountains, so they skipped classes all day and wandered around the village with a small bamboo basket on their backs and tongs in their hands, rummaging through rocks and dead tree stumps all over the mountains and fields, looking for centipedes and scorpions.

At that time, centipedes and scorpions were quite valuable. Centipedes cost 2 cents each, and scorpions cost 1 cents each.

After selling the money, go to the salesman to buy things.

However, if the adults know about skipping class and catching centipedes, not to mention a beating, the money from the sale will also be searched.

Seeing her daughter's pursed lips, Li Hongbing was secretly amused, and pretending to be stern, he raised his shoe and said intimidatingly.

"Have you bought shredded figs? Have you bought Tang Monk meat? Have you bought hawthorn sticks?"

"Go and get it, it's all junk food, you're growing up now, eating these things hurts your stomach."

Anna shrank her neck, stood up pitifully from her chair, and walked towards the mushroom hut with three steps.

"Xiaobai, go and stare at it, a bag."

Ow!

Xiaobai got up, wagged his tail and escorted Anna.

When she returned to the rice field again, Anna struggled to carry a big bag full of snacks, put it in front of Li Hongbing, and said aggrieved.

"Dad, I bought this."

Ah!
"Confiscated, sit back and ask the next thing." Li Hongbing stretched out his foot and hooked the bag under the chair.

Seeing that she spent all the snacks she bought with her pocket money, Anna burst into tears, and sat back on the chair with her mouth pursed.

"Tell me, why did you burn down Dakui's firewood house?"

Anna sobbed, "Too Tou caught a mouse and said he wanted to play with fire and burn the rattan armor soldiers."

"What do you guys do?" Li Hongbing was rather curious. He burned the rattan armor soldier himself, and he didn't say he burned the firewood house.

"Mangy Tou tied the mouse's tail with an iron wire and asked me to pull it, and set it on fire. People were afraid, so they let go."

"!!!" Li Hongbing was speechless.

It's really rough for a kid to play games now.

Back then, when playing with rattan armor soldiers, they would first dig a hole in the ground, bury a wooden stick, hang a wire on it, then tie the wire to the tail of a mouse, pour kerosene on it and light it.

After lighting the fire, the mouse will drag the wire and spin around the stick. This game is also called Hot Wheels.

Don't feel cruel. Rats are not a good thing in the countryside. They steal crops and bite houses. Anyway, they are bad breeds that everyone beats.

"Uncle, don't beat Anna, okay, it's all the scorpion's fault, he suddenly lit the fire." The juror, Nannan, came out and protected Anna, like a big sister protecting her younger sister.

Sha Wa then stood up and helped to speak, "Master, Aunt Xing lost money."

The wolfhounds and the princess also spoke out one after another, telling Li Hongbing not to beat Anna.

Li Hongbing threw away his shoes resentfully, but he didn't say he wanted to beat him up.

I will be the bad guy, and all of you will be the good guy.

If he walked past her lightly, the beatings he received when he was a child would be in vain.

"Forget it this time, but from tomorrow, get up an hour earlier, learn acupuncture, and recite acupuncture points songs, do you hear me?"

Hearing that her father didn't beat her, Anna showed a smile on her face, but when she heard that she had to get up early every day to recite, her little face became depressed again, and she muttered in her mouth.

"If I had known this earlier, I might as well have been beaten up."

"What did you say?" Li Hongbing rolled his eyes.

"I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything." Anna's expression was flustered, like a frightened rabbit, pulling her daughter and rushing towards the mushroom tree house.

Hairy and rough, she looks like a girl, how will she find a boyfriend in the future! !
Li Hongbing shook his head helplessly, and walked into the kitchen shaking his hands behind his back.

Beside the stove, Shan Xing was adding firewood to the hearth, and the firelight reflected her happy smiling face, as bright as a rose.

Hearing some movement, he raised his head to see that it was Brother Hong Bing, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised were full of joy.

"Brother, didn't you hit the child!"

Li Hongbing sat next to Shan Xing, sniffing the faint smell of soap, took the firewood from Shan Xing, stuffed it into the stove, and said with a little pride, "What is there to fight? Children should be skinned when they need to be skinned. The smarter you are, see if I'm smart now!"

Shan Xing covered her mouth and snickered, gently pushed and pushed Li Hongbing, one push and two pushes pushed Li Hongbing out of anger.

I didn't eat any food.

Just like a bandit robbing Mrs. Yazhai, he ran into the house with the apricot on his shoulders.

Finally, before closing the door, let the silly baby eat noodles by himself.

After a night.

The air in Caogou Village in the early morning is exceptionally fresh.

A refreshed Li Hongbing walked out of the room, stretched himself,

Anna and her daughter stood in the rice field, reciting the acupoint song aloud with eloquence and rhythm.

"Stay for three miles in the belly, begging for the waist and back, looking for the missing items, and the noodles and the grains are harvested."

"Take Neiguan for the heart and chest, three plots for the lower abdomen, Ashi point for soreness, and pierce the ditch for first aid."

Li Hongbing was very pleased, and decided to reward the two little girls, "Aunt Shanxing is not feeling well, I'll make breakfast, what do you want to eat!"

"Hamburger, I haven't eaten it for a long time!" Anna's eyes lit up.

"Why don't you talk about eating hot pot! Wait, eat whatever you want!"

Li Hongbing curled his lips, turned around and walked into the kitchen, and saw that there were white buns and braised pork left in the cupboard.

Roll up your sleeves and put the stewed meat in the pressure cooker, and put the white bun in the steamer to heat.

When the stewed meat is stewed, take it out and chop it into pieces, make a white bun in half, hollow out the middle of the bun core, and then fill it with chopped braised meat and mixed vegetables.

Chinese-style hamburgers are out of the oven, with a pot of golden corn grits.

"Father, you are lying, this is not a hamburger!" Anna looked suspiciously at the bun and meat on the plate.

"This is a serious hamburger, eat it quickly!" Li Hongbing picked up two white steamed buns, filled a bowl of corn grit, and walked into the bedroom to visit the patients.
