At dawn, the sound of a door creaking open broke the silence of the mountain village. A man walked out of the thatched house, closed the door behind him, and went into the still raging snow and wind.
Although snowflakes blew into his collar and the cold outside replaced the warmth in the quilt, what he thought about in his heart was still the gentleness of his woman and the innocence of his son.
As he thought this, he felt that the snow was no longer cold.
But just as he passed by the firewood pile at the entrance of the village, an accident happened. He suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and a cloth bag directly trapped his head and upper body!
He had just screamed "Oh my God" when several people rushed out from behind the firewood pile and started punching and kicking him!
The man in the sack only shouted a few words before stopping. Was he knocked unconscious? No, based on his experience with beatings, the most important thing at this moment was to cover his head with both hands and curl up to hide his vital parts!
As a result, the punches and kicks hit the flesh, causing a muffled groan.
Perhaps he was such a coward that the people beating him lost the desire to beat him. After a while, one of the people beating him waved his hand, and then those people left quickly, leaving only the man who was still curled up on the ground with a sack on his body.
The sack was opened and the man finally struggled out.
Although his nose was bleeding and his eyes were black, it did not appear that the injuries were fatal.
He murmured softly as he looked at the footprints left on the snow that were leading into the distance. In the wind and snow at the end of the footprints, he vaguely saw several figures running away.
"Wang, Wang, Wang—" He called out the name "Wang" several times but didn't utter it out. However, just as he lowered his head to touch his mouth, he suddenly raised his head and howled like a wounded wolf: "Qianchuanzi! Erhanzi! Ma Ganer! You bastards, don't think I don't know it was you who did it!"
This person is of course Hou Kanshan.
It was only when Hou Kanshan woke up this morning that he heard from his wife that he had met several Northeast Army soldiers at his doorstep yesterday.
When he heard the appearance of the soldiers his wife had imitated, he immediately thought of Wang Laomao, even if it was someone else.
Who was Hou Kanshan most afraid of? Of course, Wang Laomao was the most afraid of him. Moreover, he had been missing for over a year, so only those who had done the wrong thing would know.
Originally, he could have stayed at home for several more days, but ever since he heard his wife tell him that Wang Laomao and his men had come, he became worried. He always felt that Wang Laomao would bring his men into the house and give him a beating.
He was so uneasy, but he couldn't tell his wife. He knew that Wang Laomao was a man who would never make things difficult for his wife and son. But as for himself, forget it, I'd better run back and hide!
But he didn't run away in the end, and was still beaten up.
Although Hou Kanshan was very angry after being beaten, he knew that Wang Laomao was showing mercy to him, so he called out Wang Laomao's name several times just now, but in the end he did not call out Wang Laomao's name!
Half an hour later, the people who beat Hou Kanshan appeared in the warm house. They were Wang Laomao, Erhanzi, Hu Zhuzi, Qian Chuaner and others.
"You didn't see it. We put a sack on that guy's head and then beat him up!" Qian Chuan'er said excitedly, and his audience naturally did not go to find Hou Kanshan's other companions.
Those who didn't go along were naturally listening with great interest, but only Shang Zhen said with some concern: "You didn't kick him hard, did you? Don't kick his head, and don't kick Guai Ba La!"
"No! Can you kill him?" Qian Chuan'er laughed.
After hearing what Qian Chuan'er said, Shang Zhen nodded.
At this time, Xiao Boji said, "Even if it's kicking a ball, what's the big deal? She already has a child, so it's useless!"
With a roar of laughter, everyone in the room burst into laughter, saying, "Look at this little brat! He hasn't even grown all his hair yet, but he knows so much!"
Shang Zhen shook his head with a wry smile.
However, he did not expect that Hou Kanshan would have changed so much after not showing up for a year. Not only did he get married, but he even had a child.
There is no doubt that Hou Kanshan has taken advantage of his wife and children this time, otherwise how could Wang Laomao let him off so easily?
Thinking of this, Shang Zhen looked at Wang Laomao and saw that Wang Laomao was smoking again, as if the incident of him leading people to beat Hou Kanshan had never happened.
Shang Zhen actually understands Hou Wang Lao Mao very well.
If he doesn't beat Hou Hanshan, he won't be able to vent his anger, but if he beats him too hard, it would be too much. He already has a wife and children, so this is not the point!
"Shang Zhen, do you know what Hou Kanshan's wife looks like?" Qian Chuaner spoke again at this time.
Shang Zhen glanced at Qian Chuan and said nothing. He didn't go there, so how could he know what Hou Kanshan's wife looked like.
"She must be very pretty!" Qin Chuan interrupted at this time.
"Huh? How do you know?" Qian Chuaner asked curiously.
"A good man has no good wife, a bad man marries a beautiful branch. There is also a saying that goes, "It's a pity that a beautiful flower is stuck in monkey shit!" Qin Chuan said in a controlled tone.
After Qin Chuan said this, everyone laughed again, but Qin Chuan used a reverse reasoning method.
"You know what, it's true. Qin Chuan really guessed it right." Qian Chuan'er laughed, and then continued gossipingly, "I saw it. He is really handsome, second only to those three female students. No, I should say he looks about the same as those three female students. I guess that stupid monkey boy found his wife based on the appearance of those three female students!"
Qian Chuan'er's bluffing was in vain, so the people who were not there, such as Qin Chuan and Ma Tianfang, naturally wanted him to continue, but Shang Zhen was not interested in it.
"Hey, Shang Zhen, what if the woman Hou Kanshan marries is not from the countryside, and what if the female student who originally liked you is called what's her name, yes, Li Yajuan, what will you do?" Shang Zhen was not interested in Hou Kaishan getting married, but Qian Chuan'er wanted to tell Shang Zhen about it.
"I told you not to ruin other female students' lives." Zhang Zhen looked at Qian Chuaner helplessly.
To be honest, Shang Zhen was not interested in the three female students they had rescued, but that didn't mean he would tolerate Qian Chuaner speaking ill of those girls and making some bad assumptions.
"Okay, stop bluffing. It's time to go to sleep. That dead monkey is sleeping soundly in the quilt with his woman in his arms. We squeezed in the firewood pile all night!" It was Wang Laomao who finally ended the conversation.
Now Wang Laomao was wondering why he fell asleep in the firewood pile last night when it was so cold, and he even dreamed of the widow he was in love with.
