Chapter 5

"Brother! Are you okay, brother? " Chang Hao ran so fast that small shells rushed into the crowd. Standing in front of Chang Le, he looked up and nervously observed his brother's look for fear that his brother would suffer losses and be wronged.

Chang Le saw him coming, his eyes were slightly bright, and shook his head to show that he was fine.

Chang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at a circle of people. Finally, he frowned and asked a man in his early 40s, "Uncle village head, what's the matter?"

His brother can't speak. Even if he is reasonable, he can't speak clearly, and others can't understand his gestures, he will suffer. Chang Hao met him several times. Now he sees someone around his brother. He is very nervous.

At this meeting, Grandpa Chang also arrived, squeezed into the crowd, stood in front of the two grandchildren, blocked them faintly, and asked the people around him, "what's the matter? What are they doing together? " What are you doing around me!

Seeing that ye and sun are coming, there is humanity: "ah, Chang Hao and his grandfather are coming. We can find out."

Chang Hao's uncle Yao Wenli was also present. He also remembered what Chang Le and Chang Hao brothers showed him yesterday. Seeing that Chang Le was surrounded by people, he didn't plan to come forward to help. He held his arms and watched the excitement outside the crowd.

At this time, seeing that the old man and Chang Hao came, he immediately squeezed the crowd into the middle and said to the old man, "Dad, you can count it. Brother Le doesn't know what's going on again."

Grandpa Chang stared at Wen Li and said coldly, "what can Xiaole do? You can't expect him to be better! "

Chang Hao also looked at his uncle with disgust, and then looked at the village head.

The village head coughed, stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air to signal everyone to be quiet. He said, "stop talking, everyone is quiet!"

The village head spoke, and the villagers calmed down and looked at him.

The village head looked at the sons and grandsons and said, "uncle, it's like this. When we came to the field this afternoon, we saw Le Ge'er pressing a man in another village and refusing to let him go. You know, Le Ge'er doesn't speak, and we don't know why. The man is scolding Le Ge'er again, saying that he held him down for some reason. We've been arguing all the time. We'll wait for you to come and ask us what happened to le Ge'er. "

Changle was very introverted when she was a child because of her body. She didn't often communicate with the villagers. That is, after his parents died, he had to shoulder the burden of his family and force himself to deal with outsiders, so he gradually became more cheerful.

Although after so many years, no one in the village could understand his gestures except grandpa and brother. At this moment, the villagers are counting on ye and sun to translate.

When the village head spoke, Yu Qingze finally approached, squeezed into the crowd and stood next to Grandpa Chang.

Hearing the village head's words, Chang Hao, Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze found that Changle held a man's wrist with one hand and the other hand, and could not move.

The man was dark and tall, but he had a pair of inverted triangular eyes. His clothes were covered with mud. At this time, when he saw the mute relatives coming, he immediately put on cruel words.

"I said it was the mute who got nervous. It's inexplicable! I didn't do anything. I just passed this way and was caught by him! Your wrists are going to be broken! You tell him to let go of me! Or I won't finish with you! "

The man was very tall, a head taller than Changle, and his body was a big circle, but he couldn't get rid of Changle's hand.

Villagers around said, "brother Le can't hold you for no reason. You must have done something to provoke him!"

"Yes, brother Le never makes trouble! Say, what have you done! "

Someone nearby said in a strange way: "that's not good. Maybe brother Le did something?"

A villager immediately retorted, "tiger, you can't just say Yue Ge'er because your chicken pecked Le Ge'er's vegetables and was driven out by him. We all see Yue Ge'er's personality."

"What do you mean? What are you talking about! I can be such a stingy person! "

"Then I don't know."

“……”

There was a quarrel here, and the triangular eyed man over there was stunned.

"What? Brother! " As soon as the triangular eyed man heard that it was a brother who caught him, he immediately stared at Changle like seeing a ghost. A brother is so strong?!

Immediately, he turned his eyes and scolded Chang Le: "you said that one of your brothers held on to a man. Do you want a face? Ah! Don't let me go! "

Chang Le glanced at him and worked hard in silence. The onlookers heard the man shouting, "ouch, it's going to break, it's going to break.".

Everyone laughed. Le Ge'er is born with divine power. The man is not afraid to provoke him to death. It's time!

"Say it! What dirty thing did you do to annoy brother Le? "

The man exclaimed, "what have I done? Which eye did you see me do? I didn't even see it. I opened my mouth and sprayed people with shit! "

The villager was also a violent temper. After being scolded, he rushed up and wanted to kick the triangular eyed man. He was quickly pulled by the people next to him.

"Well, don't make any noise!" The village head roared and became quiet. The village head looked at Chang Le and said, "brother Le, tell me what's going on."

The whole circle of people watched Chang Le and waited for him.

Chang Le looked at his right hand. If he wanted to make it clear, he had to draw with both hands, but he was afraid that if he let go of his hand, the man would run and have to be held by others.

"I'll catch him. Tell Xiao Hao." Yu Qingze went to Changle, grabbed the man's hand with one hand and said to Changle.

Changle looked at Yu Qingze suspiciously.

Yu Qingze laughed. He was underestimated by Changle. So he handed the wooden crutch to Chang Hao and held it for him. He grabbed the man's other wrist and grabbed it. He clasped the man's hand behind his back and easily knelt the man down.

The man let out a cry. He knelt down involuntarily and wanted to stand up, but his shoulder was pressed and his wrist was buckled. He couldn't stand up.

"What are you doing! I didn't do anything. Is there any royal law? " The man shouted.

"Be honest!" Yu Qingze raised his injured leg, put one knee against the man's back and made the man firm.

"Good skill!" The villagers cheered when they saw Yu Qingze's neat hands.

Chang Le also stared at her, with an incredible face. He used brute force to control the man, but Yu Qingze pulled and pressed it, and it was done easily!

very impressive!

"Wow! Brother Yu, you can do Kung Fu! " Chang Hao looked at Yu Qingze and his eyes were full of worship!

Not only delicious cooking, but also Kung Fu! Awesome!

The two brothers' thoughts were synchronized, and Chang Le thought so. He secretly praised Yu Qingze and admired Yu Qingze.

Seeing the man stopped moving, Yu Qingze raised his eyes and smiled at Changle and said, "brother Le, you can let go."

Chang Le blushed slightly. He began to doubt others. Now

He quickly released his hand, then turned his head and began to show Chang Hao what had happened.

Chang Hao looked at his brother's gesture, nodded from time to time, and his face flashed angry. Grandpa Chang also looked at the man kneeling in disgust.

The villagers couldn't understand Changle's gestures, but they could understand the expressions of Ye and sun, and suddenly looked dignified. Originally holding Wenli and the tiger son, their expressions changed.

This man must have done something bad and didn't run away!

After a while, Changle stopped. The villagers looked at Chang Hao.

Chang Hao turned his head, pointed to the man and said to everyone, "Uncle village head, uncles and uncles, my brother said, this man wants to steal cattle!"

What? Steal cattle?

Cattle are their most precious property! There are forty or fifty families in the village, and there are only eight cows in total. Except for three large families, each family has one cow, others buy cows together by several families, and many families can't afford to buy them together!

This man is counting on cattle for plowing, grinding and goods. This man wants to steal cattle!

The villagers were angry and glared at the man.

"Go to the police! Such a person should go to jail all his life! "

"Yes! Send it to the government! "

Stealing cattle is a felony.

The triangular eyed man was in a hurry and quickly denied it.

"Nonsense! I didn't steal cattle! I am, I am... "The man was in a hurry and couldn't find an excuse. He snorted for a long time and said," I just saw a snake in the water and helped the cowherd bring the cow up! Yes, yes, that's it! "

As soon as they heard his stammering words and looked at his guilty expression and eyes, they didn't have to ask again.

Stealing cattle didn't run away!

The village head's face was dignified. Based on the principle of presenting facts and reasoning and conclusive evidence for conviction, he asked Chang Hao very carefully: "what's the matter? Make it clear. "

Chang Hao replied, "my brother came early in the afternoon. When he just crossed the stream to the intersection, the man was pulling the rope of the buffalo in the pool. He had brought the buffalo ashore. If he hadn't seen my brother coming, he would have driven the cow away! As soon as my brother saw that he didn't know the man, he walked over. He ran away when he saw my brother. My brother chased him here and caught him! "

When the village head heard the "buffalo in the pool" at the intersection, his heart tightened. That's his buffalo!

"Nonsense! I didn't steal the cow! " The triangular eyed man didn't expect that the mute could say it, nor did he expect that the little boy could say it exactly. But he must not admit the crime, or the rest of his life will be over. He struggled desperately to get rid of the shackles. He had to get out quickly.

"Be honest!" Although Yu Qingze hurt his left foot, it didn't affect his kung fu. He tried hard and pressed the man down again, "I didn't steal what you ran! Panic what! A guilty conscience! "

Yes, I didn't steal what you ran! The villagers agreed.

Chang Hao snorted coldly, pointed at the intersection and said to the village head, "Uncle village head, what he wants to steal is your big buffalo. You see, my basket is still over there. "

They all looked over there. In the pool next to the intersection, a cow showed its head, and there was indeed a load of baskets on the roadside. After the cow was free, it now retreated into the pool to cool off. Only one head was exposed and took a comfortable bath. There was no sense of crisis that it was almost stolen.

It was confirmed that it was his own Buffalo, and the village head was angry.

He glared at his third son. He couldn't see a cow. What's the use of you!

Knowing that he had made trouble, the third son of the village head's family who hid behind the crowd was stared by his father's eyes and his body trembled. I'll be beaten back today.

The evidence was conclusive, and the human and material evidence were all there. The village head waved, "tie it up and send it to the government!"

Several men immediately found a rope and tied the cattle thief firmly. Just as he was about to deliver it to the government, Chang Le suddenly remembered that the cattle thief had a big bag on his back when he ran away, so he tore off his brother's clothes and told him.

"Wait." Chang Hao called the village head and the people and said, "my brother said that the big sack over there belongs to this man."

A villager slipped the bag by the pool and opened it. It turned out to be a string of rice ears cut by a knife.

"Well, the thief stole not only cattle but also millet!"

Several villagers couldn't help but rush up and kick the cattle thief. Not kicking can't relieve their anger at all!

One of them is the tiger. He said, how can you see that some of the ears of rice in his field have been cut off? It turned out to be the thief!

The cattle thief shrunk and said in his heart that he was really unlucky today and met a strange dumb brother. He wanted to steal some millet and stole half a bag. When he saw the buffalo in the pool, the cowherd fell asleep again, so he became a thief. I didn't expect to be caught.

Cattle thieves don't want to be better in their life.

The village head took several men to the government with cattle thieves. Chang Le went together as the party who caught the thief and the witness, and Chang Hao went together as an interpreter.

Grandpa Chang was worried that his two grandchildren wanted to go together, but Changle stopped them. It will take more than an hour to go back and forth to the county, and he doesn't know what can be done. When grandpa is old, he is not willing to let Grandpa run around.

So Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze stayed to thresh millet. Without two labors, they didn't finish the field, and there was only a little left to fight tomorrow. Chang Le didn't go home, so he put the thresher in the field and didn't get it back.

The Changle brothers did come back very late. It was already past midnight (9 p.m.).

The family left a meal for them. Chang Hao told them about their journey to the Yamen while eating. His little face was very excited.

For the first time in my life, I went to court to punish the bad guys!

Still a very important translator! I'm proud to have wood!

Chang Le ate and looked at his brother helplessly shaking his head and smiling.

According to Chang Hao, the cattle thief wanted to run on the road and was chased up and kicked down by the villagers. Later, he was afraid that he would be a demon again. Chang Le simply carried the prisoner directly to the county government.

In the court, the cattle thief refused to plead guilty and said that he had been framed by a mute. After Changle made a comparison, Chang Hao translated it again. The county magistrate verified the testimony one by one and gave the cattle thief dozens of boards. The cattle thief was honest.

"Grandpa, brother Yu, you don't know. The cattle thief is bad." Chang Hao swallowed a mouthful of rice and mysteriously aroused people's appetite.

Yu Qingze asked cooperatively, "why is it broken?"

Chang Hao told them very kindly, "the cattle thief turned out to be a habitual thief. This is not the first time for him. He has stolen all the villages in this area these days and specially took advantage of everyone's nap at noon and at night to cut people's rice ears. According to his account, he has stolen seven or eight bags of millet! I was jailed for stealing for a year before. According to the people of the county government, I didn't let it out for long. "

Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze were surprised. They caught a habitual thief.

"Yes! The magistrate praised my brother! " Chang Hao proudly has a small chest, just like praising him.

Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze looked funny at him. Changle patted his brother angrily. Let you bang!

Yu Qingze teased him: "really, how to praise?"

Chang Hao ignored his brother's beating, his small face collapsed, his hands flat on his legs, instantly serious face, pressed his voice and learned from the words of the county magistrate: "Niutou village Changle has made meritorious efforts to catch thieves. According to the law, he has always been rewarded with money."

They were amused by what they learned. However, the county government even awarded the consistent money! Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze were surprised.

Over there, Chang Le put down the dishes and chopsticks, took out a cloth bag from his pocket, put it on the table, opened it, and the copper money lay quietly on the cloth.

The money can cover the expenses of ordinary farmers for more than half a year.

When everyone had enjoyed enough and had enough fun, Changle wrapped up the money and handed it to Grandpa Chang.

Grandpa Chang waved his hand and smilingly asked Changle to put it away.

After Chang haopeng finished, he said to Grandpa Chang, "Grandpa, the village head uncle said that if we want to use cattle in the future, we will go to his house and lend it to us first."

Grandpa Chang smiled and said, "well, we can plow faster in the future."

Everyone was very happy to catch the thief, get praise and get a bonus.

Yu Qingze looked at the board in his hand and his plan should speed up the progress!
