The old man stayed at the peasant woman s house late at night, and after his identity was revealed,

The old man stayed at the peasant woman's house late at night, and after his identity was revealed, he actually saved the peasant woman's life

This village is called Lijiayu, the so-called Yu, in fact, is surrounded by mountains, and the number of people living in the col has gradually increased, and it has become a small village

There is a family in Fangjia Village, the man's name is Li Daming, he is kind-hearted, and he is enthusiastic about helping others The woman is called Sister-in-law Li, and she is also a very kind woman, and her popularity in the village is very good The two also have a child under the age of one, and the family lives in the west of the village, next to a big tree.

One night, after the family finished eating, they shook their fans to enjoy the coolness, Li Daming's mother teased the little grandson next to them, and the little couple talked and laughed next to them Although they are not very rich, they are also very happy

Who knows, in the middle of the night, Li Daming's mother suddenly had abdominal pain I saw her sweating profusely, rolling over and over on the bed Ouch, ouch, it seems, it is a gastrointestinal problem

What can I do, this night is quiet, the doctor also lives in the town, in the past, please ask the doctor to talk less about going back and forth, and besides, people may not be willing to come this midnight three watches

Li Daming first gave his mother some hot water, then rubbed his stomach, and tossed for most of the hour, but still no effect

You can't just watch your mother hurt like this Li Daming decided to go to the town to find a doctor behind his mother's back Looking at the darkness outside, Li Daming gritted his teeth and said: You watch the kid well at home, I will take my mother to the town for a walk, close the door, don't be afraid

Sister-in-law Li nodded and said, "Go ahead, don't worry, I'm not afraid to be alone at home."

When the neighbor heard the movement, he hurriedly ran to Sister-in-law Li and said, "Let Brother Li go, I will go with me, and I will take care of it more or less." ”

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Li secretly put her mind at ease After all, Sister-in-law Li was anxious in her heart, but she had a ** child in her arms, and it was windy and raining again.

Now the husband has someone to accompany him, it is really good to have such a neighbor As soon as the husband left, Sister-in-law Li cleaned up her things and coaxed the child to sleep.

In the dead of night, there were occasionally a few dogs barking in the distance, and Sister-in-law Li had never slept at home alone since she got married, and she was a little apprehensive in her heart

Who knew that not long after lying down, she heard the knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk", and Sister-in-law Li's heart jumped suddenly.

Sister-in-law Li thought to herself: At this time, who will knock on the door? Brother Da Ming won't come back so soon? Who would knock on her door in the middle of the night?

She got up immediately, lit the lamp, and looked out gently against the crack in the door, and was shocked to see an old man standing in front of the door.

It's strange, in the middle of the night, an old man came to knock on the door, and he was not from this village, which was more or less strange

didn't wait for Sister-in-law Li to speak, only to see the old man preemptively say: "Sister-in-law, is this Li Daming's home?" ”

Oh, yes. Sister-in-law Li replied casually Looking at the old man's hurried appearance, he may be in a hurry to find Daming. Sister-in-law Li's vigilance was still very strong, so she said, "What's the matter, look for our family Daming." ”

The old man said, "It's too cold outside, can you come in?" After speaking, before Sister-in-law Li nodded, she walked to the house by herself Sister-in-law Li's mouth was open in surprise, but it was difficult to stop it, so she had to follow the old man to the hall

The old man walked into the hall, took off his raincoat, and showed a shotgun on his shoulder.

Sister-in-law Li asked, "Old man, do you know Daming?" ”

The old man lowered his head and was silent for a while, and said, "I am hunting, and I have been running in the mountains for a day, and just now I set up a trap on the mountain, for fear that someone will pick it up in the morning, and I am going to go early tomorrow morning to see if there is any harvest, and can I borrow a night here tonight." ”

When Sister-in-law Li heard this, she felt a dilemma: What a coincidence, her husband is not at home, how can she let a strange man stay?

But she still said kindly: "Uncle, it's really inconvenient here, so it's better to go to the village and find someone to live in." ”

The old hunter looked embarrassed when he heard this, and seemed unwilling to go to other people's houses to ask, and said in a slurred voice: "...I....I'll live in a pigsty; If it's not convenient in the pig shed, then let me squat under the eaves of your gate all night. ”

Sister-in-law Li couldn't help muttering a little in her heart This old man is really, isn't it the same to go to other homes to spend the night? Is the old man more introverted? Or did the old man just see my man go out, so he came to spend the night?

Sister-in-law Li looked at this old man hunting, and she was a little suspicious, she thought: This is a barren mountain, there are no wild things, there is no one during the day, why did a hunter suddenly appear at night?

He still doesn't want to let her go to the front house to spend the night, could it be that there is some bad intention! Thinking of this, Sister-in-law Li faintly felt some uneasiness in her heart If it's really a bad person, what can I do with my child?

Besides, this old man is still more suspicious, asking him everything, asking him which village he is, and not telling him what his name is. And why didn't he dare to go to the village in front of him? Is it because you are afraid of people?

At this time, Sister-in-law Li was even more panicked in her heart, he shouldn't have any accomplices

At this time, she suddenly remembered the few taels of silver that she had just sold the piglets in the morning, could it be that this money was seen by the bad guys? Even if you hide your secrets, you can't stand the bad guys with shotguns. How can this be done?

After thinking about it again, it should be fine, the other party is an old man after all, and he looks very honest Thinking of this, she felt a little more down-to-earth.

However, what should the old hunter in front of him do if he wants to spend the night here?

Sister-in-law Li thought for a while, had an idea in her heart, and said, it's too late, I really can't keep you, so it's better to go to the front house to spend the night

I didn't expect the old man to be a stubborn person He walked to the gate, sat on the ground there, and said, I don't want to go to another house to spend the night, just rest here for a while

The old man sitting on the floor, with his shotgun on the door beside him, squinted his eyes, and was about to sleep

When Sister-in-law Li saw it, she hurriedly called the old man to get up, but the old man turned a deaf ear He raised his eyes to look at Sister-in-law Li and said, "It's not in the way, the summer night is not cold, and it will be dawn after a while."

Sister-in-law Li made a difficulty, she is a kind-hearted person, how can she let the old man sleep on the ground?

So, she didn't care about anything else, and said calmly: "Old man, how can you squat under the eaves for the night on this cold day?" Well, our south house is empty, and we have a bed...”

When the old man heard this, he was overjoyed and said casually: Thank you. He hurriedly followed Sister-in-law Li into the south house.

After the old man entered the house and lay down, he was quiet, and the kind sister-in-law Li didn't say anything, so she went to the hall However, for the sake of insurance, she hung the door of the hall from the inside

There was no lock in the ancient house, just a bolt at the head of the door Sister-in-law Li thought to herself, the walls around this house are made of stones, and the window lattices are nailed with wooden strips, so there is no big problem

Sister-in-law Li stood quietly behind the door for a while, and when she saw that there was no movement, she tiptoed back to bed.

To be on the safe side, Sister-in-law Li also took a stick and put it next to the bed, and lay on the bed in kimono, listening to the movement outside the house. After a long time, there was no sound, her nerves relaxed slightly, and she slowly fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it took for her to be woken up by a bang, and she was so frightened that she sat up from the bed

By the glimmer of the night, she saw the door open, and two shadowy shadows crept in

Sister-in-law Li almost screamed, and she couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness So, she hurriedly lit the candle, looked up, and was so frightened that she let out a "ahhhhhh

It turned out that in front of her bed stood two fierce men, with fierce faces and fleshy faces

I saw that these two men, like two monsters, were all black, and the hoods they wore were also black, only their noses and mouths were exposed, and they both held a shining sharp knife in their hands.

Yikes! It's two masked robbers, and the house is a thief! Then, that old man must be an accomplice! No wonder he stayed at our house and didn't leave, it turned out to be this reason! Sister-in-law Li hated herself for being soft-hearted, and she actually took in a black-hearted old man

Only to hear one of the robbers threaten in a low voice: "Hand over the money!" Otherwise, watch out for your son! As he spoke, the robber swung his knife in the direction of the child Of course, he just gestured

Sister-in-law Li said: What money, our family has no money at all, my mother-in-law is sick, and the official carried her to the town to find a doctor

The shorter robber next to him laughed loudly and said, "I have seen with my own eyes, and you have won a few taels of silver for the pigs you sold." ”

The other shook the knife in front of her again: "Want money, death?" Say! ”

Sister-in-law Li was extremely nervous. Listening to the voice, she concluded that these were two young people, could it be that the old man of the South House was related to them? Sister-in-law Li thought that they might be complicit accomplices, so she glanced into the south room worriedly.

When Sister-in-law Li saw this, she was noticed by the short man. He thought in his heart that the money must be hidden in the South House. So, he glanced at the other robber and forced Sister-in-law Li to open the door of the south house.

Anyway, the men in their family are not at home tonight, and a woman still doesn't let them handle it? If you don't hand it over, there will be a way not to hand it over, and the young daughter-in-law can't help but think of a way

Sister-in-law Li trembled and walked to the door of the south house, and with a heart, she pushed open the door of the south house The two people followed and walked in I saw him raise his door, and with a "suddenly" sound, he kicked the door open and rushed in.

Sister-in-law Li stood at the door hesitantly and did not follow up

When it was too late, I saw a black shadow swooping out from behind the door, ran out of the door, took the door of the south house with his hand, and with lightning speed, put an iron chain through the door bolt and locked it several times

This sudden change, Sister-in-law Li didn't react at all, and she was still stunned

The old man turned around and shouted at her, still stunned for what to do, hurry up and call someone!

At this time, Sister-in-law Li woke up like a dream, hurriedly picked up a wooden stick, touched a copper basin, ran to the door, and knocked hard. Knocking and shouting: "Catch the robbers, catch the robbers!" She shouted a few times, and the lights were lit up in several houses in the village, and after a while, the strong laborers of the neighborhoods came, and then the old hunter in the house suddenly jumped up and shouted: "If you don't put down your knife quickly, you will not be able to escape with so many people!" ”

The sound was like a thunderclap in the clear sky, and the two masked men were immediately stunned. They never imagined that there was only one woman in this family, and they didn't expect that there was also an old man.

When the people of the neighborhood were gathered, the two robbers were blinded, and they threw away their knives, fell to their knees, and howled wolf: We were wrong, and we will not dare again

The short robber had a nimble mind, and his eyes were slanted outward, wanting to slip away. I only heard the old hunter shout majestically: "Who runs? My knives don't have long eyes! The old man pointed his long knife at them, and motioned for them not to move, let alone to escape

Probably frightened by the old man's momentum, the two of them obediently knelt on the ground and shouted: Spare us I saw that the old man's eyes were full of fire, and his face was full of anger, and the two of them didn't dare to say anything else

The neighbors came to Sister-in-law Li's house and saw that in addition to the two robbers, there was also an old man they didn't know, what was going on?

In fact, not only the people in the village, but even Sister-in-law Li is also a little foggy If this old man knows them, then why does he want to help himself? If he didn't know them, why did he want to stay in his own house How could things in the world be so coincidental, just in time for this old man to live in his own house, and he happened to meet a robber

The neighbor door helped the old man tie up the two masked men. At this time, Sister-in-law Li asked the old man in surprise: "What is going on?" ”

It turned out that this old man lived in Xujia Village, and everyone called him Old Man Xu. The two robbers were also from their village, and the shorter one was his own nephew.

The nephew's parents went early, and they raised him with hard work, but they didn't expect this child to know the people in the town, and mingle with them all day long, wandering around and not doing their jobs.

One day at the big gathering, Old Man Xu found that his son was talking to someone he didn't know, but what they said was something that others didn't understand.

The old man followed his nephew and this person, only to see them wandering around the market, eyeing Li Daming's family who were selling pigs After all, a few taels of silver is also a lot of income for farmers

When the old man saw that his nephew had hooked up with these people, he was so sad that he couldn't eat, so he was afraid that they would make a name for themselves, and he didn't have the face to meet the big brother underground.

He wanted to talk to his nephew, but he ignored him. There was no way, the old man had to make up his mind and secretly monitor their activities.

According to the old man's observation for a few days, he finally figured out his nephew's thoughts I saw that he first followed a person to Lijiayu and squatted for two days, and he must have wanted to find out where Li Daming lived Then, they carved a few small circles on the big tree near Li Daming's house, and also hung a red rope on the tree

Although the old man didn't know what they meant, he could probably guess what medicine they were selling in their gourd, and he must be stepping on the dots and choosing the right time and place before starting it

That night, the nephew went out with that person, and the old man followed them quietly, and heard them discussing, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he chose to do it tonight They were cats on the mountain behind Li Daming's house, and they planned to do it in the dead of night

Hearing this, the old man's heart was pounding, and he was angry, and he didn't want to startle the snake So, he secretly went down the mountain, anyway, he knew that Li Daming's home was in **

Coincidentally, Li Daming's mother happened to be unwell again, and there were only orphans and widows left at home The old man was really glad that he had come with him, otherwise he didn't know what would have happened tonight

In order not to startle the snake, when Sister-in-law Li asked, he did not tell his place of residence and name, but repeatedly asked to stay overnight, even if he was misunderstood. Such a kind-hearted old man, this time he is really fortunate to have him, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable

With tears in her eyes, Sister-in-law Li said to the old man excitedly: "Just now, your old man was wronged!" You see I'm thinking too much."

The old man said, "It's our family who is sorry for you, and made you frightened." If I don't stop it, what will happen to you."

As for what to do with these two robbers? The old man said: Do what you have to do, and if you make a mistake, you will be punished As soon as the voice fell, the old man ordered everyone to lock the two robbers in the firewood room, and when it was dawn, they would be sent to the official mansion

And the two robbers, looking at each other, bowed their heads in despair
