At night, Wu Bai suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the door. There was a rustling sound, and he quietly got up from the bed and hid behind the door.
After a while, the firewood room door was slowly pried open from the outside. Lin Xingsheng stood on tiptoe and tiptoed to the edge of the bed. Before he could reach the edge of the bed, Wu Bai knocked him unconscious with the back of the knife. Re-bolt the bolt of the woodshed.
Wu Bai followed suit, tying up Lin Xingsheng like he did to Wu Xiaoshan before, then gag his mouth with a rag, and grabbed a stick from the side, and slapped Lin Xingsheng.
Lin Xingsheng was knocked unconscious, but now he woke up with pain. He wanted to open his mouth to call for help, but found that something was stuck in his mouth. In the end, he could only whimper, with snot and tears all over his face.
.Wu Lin, who was next door, didn't sleep well at night. She was worried that Lin Xingsheng would not leave when she woke up in the morning. , and then there was a faint whimpering sound.
Hearing the cry, Wu Lin was instantly stunned, worried that Wu Bai had returned to his old ways, and then arrested his son and beat him up. She was so frightened that she didn't wear any shoes, and ran to the door of the firewood house, knocking on the door and shouting at the same time. Said: "Brother Bai, open the door quickly."
Wu Dacheng slept in a room next to Wu Lin's, and was quarreled by the other party. He didn't sleep well that night. When he saw Wu Lin running out of the room in a hurry, he was also frightened and thought he was out. What's the matter, hurry up.
.As a result, he saw Wu Lin knocking on Wu Bai's door, and there was a sound of sticks hitting the meat. He also remembered the fact that his son was beaten. After all, Wu Bai couldn't beat himself. Then he Also started knocking on the door.
The duet of the couple was loud, and they quickly woke up Wu Xiaoshan and Wu Huilan who were sleeping. They also hurried out to see the situation and wanted to know what happened.
Wu Bai in the house heard their shouts long ago, and opened the door after a delay.
At this time, the Wu family husband and wife had found that Wu Xiaoshan was fine, and they were a little embarrassed. They said to Wu Bai, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood, misunderstood."
It was Wu Huilan who pointed at a dark shadow on the ground of the Chai Fang, and said in shock, "Father, mother, look at who that is?"
Seeing that someone finally found him, Lin Xingsheng hurriedly continued to whimper, hoping that they would save him.
."Mother, that looks like Cousin Lin." Wu Xiaoshan remembered that he hadn't seen Lin Xingsheng since just now.
Several people were talking, and Wu Bai had turned around and lit an oil lamp over, and the light filled the entire room in an instant, illuminating the people on the ground clearly.
He also showed Lin Xingsheng's face full of snot and tears in front of everyone in the Wu family.
Fortunately, with Wu Dacheng present, they stabilized their footsteps and were not frightened to retreat.
In the end, there was another round of jumping around. The Wu Lin family finally helped Lin Xingsheng back to Wu Xiaoshan’s room to rest, and smeared him with the leftover trauma medicine that Wu Xiaoshan used last time before coming to Wu Bai, but Wu Bai had already Close the door of the firewood house and go back to sleep.
.They said a few words outside the door. Thinking of Lin Xingsheng's tragic state, they didn't dare to say more, so they had to give up temporarily and wait until they got up tomorrow morning.
The next day, Wu Bai woke up full of sleep and fetched water to wash up. Wu Lin came to him bravely and said bitterly, "Brother Bai, even if your marriage with Xingsheng fails, you don't need to beat anyone!"
"Auntie, I slept well last night. It was Lin Xingsheng who wanted to be a thief and enter my house to steal something, so I hit him. Besides, I couldn't see it was him, he was just a little hair from somewhere. Thief, don't you know, I was so scared at the time that I only dared to hold a stick and wave it vigorously to protect myself, for fear that he would come near me." Wu Bai seemed to be really frightened.
"..." The corners of Wu Lin's mouth twitched, and he said, "But you are too heavy. Now that Huilan has gone to hire a doctor, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money. Can you..."
."No." Wu Bai waved his hand.
"...I haven't said it yet, so you refused." Wu Lin complained.
"Auntie, you often say that I'm a little brother, I can't lift my hands, I can't pick on my shoulders, and I can't do anything well. I'm worried that you will say it now, in case I can't do it well again, it will make you annoyed. , that's not good, it's better to reject you from the beginning." Wu Bai said of course.
When Wu Lin was stunned by his words, he felt uncomfortable, and after a while, he said, "I didn't ask you to carry it by your shoulders, I just wanted you to give me some money for medicine."
"Auntie, you have all the money in the family tightly in your hand, where can I have money for you." Wu Bai replied.
"Why not, you didn't sell a wild boar before, I didn't ask you for the money, and now it's all in your own pocket.Wu Lin ignored the scene where he wanted to grab Wu Baiyin but was frightened and fainted, and made his debut.
Wu Bai sighed and said, "Auntie, I haven't told you one thing. When I came back with an ox cart, I met a few bastards, and they took my money away."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wu Lin glanced at Wu Bai and asked suspiciously, "Are you framing me? I remember that you still had money to pay Old Man Li for the car after you came back."
Wu Bai: Gan! Forget this stubble!
After a pause, Wu Bai explained, "Those are the last few coins that I tried so hard to get back, and now they have been given to Old Man Li, why don't I go to Old Man Li and ask for it back? He said that my aunt asked him to return it, and Aunt's reputation, he must have returned the car money to me without saying a word, and then I will have copper coins to pay Lin Xingsheng's medicine money."
.After finishing speaking, Wu Bai put the handkerchief in the basin and went out to look for Old Man Li.
How did Wu Lin think that he would come here? If Wu Bai really went to Old Man Li to ask for the money back, then the Wu family would really lose all face in the village, and she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Wu back. Bai, stopped and said, "Don't go."
Wu Bai broke his hand and disagreed with the other party's statement. While making a gesture to go to Old Man Li, he said, "But if I don't go to Old Man Li, then I will not have the money to pay for the medicine, and the doctor will come soon. Now, I don't pay for the medicine, do you pay?"
"I'll pay." When Wu Lin was in a hurry, he blurted out the words.
"Okay, then you pay." Wu Bai stepped back, went back to the basin, picked up his handkerchief and wringed it dry, and hung it on the rope.
After hanging up the veil, Wu Bai returned to the firewood room in a good mood.
.Staying at Wu Lin's gate at the courtyard, the wind was messy.
She couldn't understand, obviously she came to Wu Bai because she wanted the other party to pay for the medicine, how did she become the one who paid in the end?
However, it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand, the doctor can understand what she thinks. The doctor prescribed medicine for Lin Xingsheng, leaving a pile of medicine packs and bottles for internal use and external application, waiting for Wu Lin to pay the money and leave.
Seeing Wu Lin's standing still, Wu Huilan pushed her and signaled that the doctor was still waiting. Wu Lin hurried back to his room, took out the box where he hid money from a hidden corner, took out the medicine money, and returned to Wu Xiaoshan After visiting the room, I counted it several times until I was sure it was correct before I handed it to the doctor.
The doctor was kind, but he didn't bother with her, he didn't count the coins, he just took it into his arms and left.
.Because Lin Xingsheng was injured in Wu's house, and the other party couldn't walk at all, and could not return to Koushan Village, Wu's family had another mouth that could only enter every day, and Wu Lin was angry in the yard every day. He kept yelling.
Every time people passing by Wu's house, they would hear Wu Lin's angry scolding. At first, someone kindly asked her what was going on, but Wu Lin's attitude was not good, and gradually there was no one. Ask her, the villagers will subconsciously speed up their pace when they pass by Wu's house.
Wu Lin's scolding had no effect on Wu Bai. He went up the mountain with a machete every day after breakfast.
The more times he went up the mountain, Wu Bai gradually found out what was going on in the mountain.
No, he recently discovered a series of footprints in the deep mountains.
.You must know that most of the villagers in Xushan Village choose to make firewood at the foot of the outer mountain, and they will not go deep into the mountain at all.
In addition, Wu Bai is very sure that the series of footprints are not his. His footprints are not that big, and these footprints are different in size. what's going on.
However, this matter is not urgent, he intends to end the Wu family's affairs first, and then go up the mountain to check it carefully.
Lin Xingsheng's physical foundation is much stronger than Wu Xiaoshan's. Before Wu Xiaoshan took care of his injuries for more than a month, he was completely healed, but Lin Xingsheng only took half a month to take care of him.
When he was completely healed and Wu Lin's medicine money was spent, Wu Bai began to settle accounts with him again.
.At noon that day, Wu Bai had lunch, and instead of going up the mountain with a machete as usual, he walked towards Lin Xingsheng, grabbed his collar, pressed him to the ground, and stepped on it with his feet.
"Brother Bai, what are you doing? Hurry up and let go of Xingsheng." Wu Dacheng was stunned, and hurried over to stop him.
"Uncle, I've been thinking a lot these days, who doesn't know that the money in the family belongs to my aunt, and I don't have a single penny left on me. If Lin Xingsheng wants to steal money, he should go to your house, why did he go? My house? I suspect he has other plans." Wu Bai analyzed.
Hearing what Wu Bai said, the Wu family also reacted and nodded, thinking that Wu Bai was right, or that Wu Lin sensed something was wrong, and retorted: "How come it's right to enter our house? It's not okay to enter our house! "My mother's valuable things are hidden in that room!
.For this, Wu Bai did not refute, and replied: "Auntie is right, it is definitely wrong to enter your house to steal things, he is guilty of theft, so I plan to go to the county to sue him and let him He's in jail."
"Sue the official? Go to jail?" Common people like Wu Lin don't like to deal with the government the most, and quickly persuaded: "Brother Bai, it's not, it's not, he didn't go to the wrong room, didn't he succeed in stealing? That's it!"
When Lin Xingsheng on the ground heard them say a few words, he identified himself as a thief, and quickly explained, "I didn't want to steal anything."
"Didn't steal anything? Then why did you sneak into my room at night?" Wu Bai didn't believe it.
"I, I'm here for you, I want you to be my daughter-in-law..." Lin Xingsheng did not forget to humbly preach.
."You thought I would believe your nonsense, you can't slander my reputation in order to escape the crime of stealing." Wu Bai kicked his heart angrily and said coldly.
Everyone in the Wu family: "..." Actually, we believe it.
