Chapter 33 His Connivance

Bai Lu dug in the vegetable patch for a while.

 In a pit half a meter deep, an old rectangular wooden box appeared silently in the sunlight.

 Open the wooden box.

Inside there is a dark brown long-handled shotgun, three machetes over half a meter long, and a square wooden box for iron sand and gunpowder. None of them are missing, lying quietly among them.

 In the previous life, Xiao Cheng and Luo Shiliu and others were tortured by lynching because of this box of things.

Had it not been for half a year later, the two major gangs officially started a war, the local gangsters in Nanshi benefited, and the truth came to light... A retrial... They don't know when they will come out.

 But it was too late to come out at that time.

 Xiao Wei is no longer here.

 Lao Hu, whom Xiao Cheng respected, is no longer here either.

 Everything has changed...

  “You can just lie here peacefully from now on.”

Bai Lu closed the lid, looked around the fence, made sure no one was around, then swung a small shovel and shoveled shovelfuls of dirt into the pit.

Unknown to her, in the dark green window that was closed behind her, the man was standing facing the backyard with his hands clasped behind his back. His eyes that fell on her were a little bit undetectable.

  —

Luo Shiliu and others squatted outside the door for a long time. Finally, when the Wuqing door opened, the eldest brother was carrying...

 Carrying the "small vegetable basket", you can walk out leisurely!

That handsome face, which has always been indifferent, also had a soft halo that reflected the light. This inconsistent scene made Luo Shiliu and others dumbfounded.

“Brother Cheng, are you going to buy groceries?” Xiao Dazhuang habitually asked when he had questions.

 Although he didn't know how stupid his question was.

“So is it a day off today?” Luo Shiliu ran after his eldest brother: “I’ve already said hello to my fifth aunt and a few brothers next door.”

 “Li Chengbin is so insidious and cunning. Fortunately, he has a sister-in-law, otherwise we would be in trouble now.” Wang Hao envied Xiao Cheng’s family for having a good wife again.

“I don’t know who disabled Li Chengbin. I remember we only beat him that night...”

Before he could say anything, Wang Hao was kicked in the calf. He turned around and saw Luo Shiliu glancing around. People were coming and going on the road, and they looked towards them from time to time.

Wang Hao shut up immediately.

  Xiao Cheng said calmly: "We will start work as usual in the afternoon."

Li Chengbin’s debt will be put aside for the time being.

 What happened today was probably caused by the big boss, and those thugs not only had shotguns.

When the police searched the house, Xiao Cheng had some vague suspicions. It wasn't until Bai Lu found out Liu Tiezhu's fault that he was sure that the whole thing was a game, the big boss's opening game.

Being thrown out as a chess piece to start a fight was something he expected, and he knew the outcome when he joined the gang.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that it would happen in such a series of ways and come earlier than he thought.

If the big boss looks for him, the matter will be settled today. If not, he will not have to wade through this muddy water again.

Li Chengbin's account can be collected by anyone he likes, and he will no longer interfere.

 There is also Bai Lu and an unborn child, Xiao Wei, at home. He is no longer alone.

 Luo Shiliu is not stupid. He can make a rough guess about what happened today and what Xiao Cheng said.

It's more than enough to deal with Wang Hao, who keeps chirping and asking questions, and Xiao Dazhuang, who is single-minded.

 Xiao Cheng went home after shopping for groceries under the "weirdly friendly" look of the aunt at the market.

Finding that Luo Shiliu was still following behind, he said lightly: "Your grandpa doesn't need to eat?"

 Luo Shiliu's parents divorced and each formed a new family. They didn't want him. He lived with his grandfather.

 Later I met Xiao Cheng and grew up together. They have been fighting each other for many years, and when they talk, they always say straight to the point: "I want a roasted chestnut with sugar."

“Are you crazy about hunger?” Xiao Cheng said coldly.

Luo Shiliu has long been accustomed to it and is immune to the cold: "I haven't eaten anything all morning, so I'm going crazy from hunger. If you don't give me food, I will starve to death."

"No."

The roasted chestnuts were all at home. Xiao Cheng didn't take them out, and he didn't think Luo Shiliu would be willing to starve himself to death.

Of course Luo Shiliu will not starve himself to death, but he will go home with Xiao Cheng, hold out a finger, and say in a very sincere tone -

 “I just want one roasted chestnut with sugar.”

Xiao Cheng glanced at him coldly and sneered: "Do you think you can get two?"

When they got home, Luo Shiliu diligently helped his eldest brother open the door, "It sounds like you can get three if you can't get two. Of course, I still prefer one. Brother, you don't have to be so generous. Thank you very much!" "

 The eldest brother returned to the main house, put down the vegetable basket, picked up a candied roasted chestnut and threw it towards the wall.

 The younger brother, who had anticipated it, jumped up to catch it.

 A snap of the fingers instead of thank you, and the hemp slips away.

Bai Lu came out of the backyard with green vegetables in her arms. When she saw it, she couldn't help but chuckle: "Why did you just give me one? There are many more on the table?"

 Xiao Cheng said expressionlessly: "He doesn't want it."

Rom 16: “…”

 I thank you!

 You are such a great brother!

after lunch

 Xiao Cheng went to work next door, while Bai Lu and Xiao Wei went to the backyard to lay eggs for the old hen.

 “Can this really hatch a chick?”

In the chicken coop covered with straw, a layer of beautiful and healthy eggs was neatly spread on it. Bai Lu always felt something strange when looking at it.

Xiao Wei caught the old hen and put it in the nest, and said with a serious face: "It will definitely hatch chicks."

 Sister-in-law Zhang said that this is how her nest was hatched.

Bai Lu thought about it carefully and realized that her grandmother, who liked to cultivate the vegetable garden in the family compound and raise chickens and ducks in a pen, didn't seem to hatch chicks like this. She often went to her grandmother's house to play when she was a child, and she and her grandfather even followed her to watch.

“We only have old hens and no big roosters, so we can’t seem to hatch chicks.”

 After thinking for a long time, Bai Lu finally thought of the key point.

Xiao Wei didn't understand and asked: "Eggs are all laid by old hens, why can't they hatch?"

  After knowing that the little guy wanted to raise chicks, Bai Lu never took the eggs laid by the old hen and put them in the pot again. She always bought them from outside if she wanted to eat them, but this problem was too profound.

She couldn't explain it to a seven-year-old boy, so she could only put it another way: "Eggs are divided into male and female eggs. There are no chicks in the male eggs, but there are chicks in the female eggs."

This explanation is certainly correct.

It was also Xiao Wei’s first time hatching chicks. He didn’t understand anything, but he thought it made sense.

 “Then how do you tell whether an egg is male or female?”

Bai Lu scratched her head and recalled an idea: "Go to the utility room and find an oil lamp, and I will teach you how to use it."

After Xiao Wei found the oil lamp, Bai Lu twisted the small circle on the side of the oil lamp and screwed up the wick a little to make the light inside the glass cover brighter.

Then he picked up an egg, put it next to the oil lamp, and taught him how to see the small black dots inside.

“Look, the eggs with little black dots inside are hen eggs, and the ones without little black dots are male eggs.”

Bai Lu remembers that her grandmother said that eggs with small black dots inside can hatch chicks.

 Eggs without small black dots cannot hatch chicks, and they will turn into bad eggs after being nested for a long time.
