Chapter 325: The Desire to Win
Lu Qingqing and the people from the north yard were pulling the cart back. From a distance they saw a white cloth hanging in front of Yang Mazi's house.
When I got close, I saw Uncle Ma Zi and his family decorating the yard through the fence.
Uncle Ma Zi and his companions also saw Lu Qingqing and her group and nodded to them as a greeting.
The two sides were not far away from each other, and Lu Qingqing could clearly see that Uncle Ma Zi's eyes were red and swollen from crying.
After walking a short distance, Li Rui turned his head and looked, then whispered:
"I heard that Yang Mazi died trying to save his uncle!"
Qu Hong was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't Yang Mazi follow the bandits to attack our village? How do you know he died saving his uncle?"
Li Rui showed an expression that said, "You don't understand this," and said mysteriously:
"Of course I have my own way, so don't worry about it!
I tell you, I got accurate information.
When the bandits attacked the wall, Yang Mazi defected and joined our side.
He was helping his uncle fight bandits, and that's why he was beaten to death by them!"
The rest of the team had already pricked up their ears to listen. Chai Quan asked with some doubt:
"Didn't he run off with that female spy? Now that Yang Mazi has run off, where's that female spy?"
Li Rui was also stunned when he was asked this question.
Yes, what about the female spy?
Seeing him like this, Qu Hong laughed and said, "Don't you have a way? How come you don't know it?"
Li Rui glanced at him and said unconvincedly:
“Yongxing only told me about Yang Mazi, but who knows about that female spy?
Anyway, when we were cleaning up the bandits' bodies that day, we didn't see any women.
I guess that person has already run away!"
Then he snorted again:
"You always go against me. You don't know how to care for your junior brother. How can you be a good senior brother at all?"
Qu Hong was so angry when he saw him like this.
He asked Brother Tu next to him to pull the cart, and he hurried to chase Li Rui.
This damn kid has no respect for his elders. He must be beaten up!
Behind him, Yang Mazi's house.
Uncle Ma Zi covered the corpse in the main room with a white cloth. When he stood up, he staggered and almost fell.
Liangzi hurried over to support his father and said worriedly:
"Dad, the dead cannot be resurrected, don't be too sad!"
Uncle Mazi sighed deeply:
"We'll bury him together in the village tomorrow. Then we'll bury Ma Zi next to your second uncle."
Hearing this, Brother Liangzi said anxiously:
"Dad, if Ma Zi does something like that and then buries him in the ancestral tomb, I'm afraid the villagers will have objections!"
Uncle Ma Zi listened to his eldest son's words, raised his head and stared at him, and said in a low but firm voice:
"He is from our Yangjia Village and the only offspring of your second uncle!
If he is not buried in our ancestral tomb, where do you want him to be buried?"
When Brother Liangzi saw his father like this, he stopped talking awkwardly, but he was still not convinced in his heart.
His father has always been partial to his second uncle's family. Before he got married in his early years, he even wanted to use the money prepared for his wedding to give to that pockmarked man to get married.
If he hadn't quarreled with his mother, he might be the one who is still single now!
Besides, that pockmarked man betrayed the village, and because of him, many families in the village had grievances against his family.
If he were to be buried in the ancestral tomb again, it would surely cause a lot of trouble for his family.
Uncle Ma Zi ignored his eldest son's resentment, looked at the corpse on the ground, and muttered:
"This kid has never done anything serious in his life, and yet here I am, I owe him such a big favor!
I'm already this old and I don't have many years left to live. Why isn't it me who died?
What did he block for me? "
At this point, his voice was already filled with tears.
Seeing this, Liangzi wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say.
He thought of the scene when Ma Zi was killed, and felt a little uncomfortable.
At that time, if I hadn't pushed him away, he might not have died.
At this time, the expression on Uncle Ma Zi's face was half-smile, as if he remembered something.
"Don't be fooled by his mischievous appearance. When he was little, he was very well-behaved and obedient, much better than you brothers!
He fell ill when he was a teenager and was left with pockmarks on his face, making it difficult for him to find a wife.
Just then his parents passed away, and all his energy and spirit disappeared in an instant.
I used to say that he was useless and just spent his days idling.
But whenever he got something good, he would eagerly give it to me!
It’s exactly the same as when your second uncle was a child.
Unfortunately, both of them were unlucky and went downstairs early to accompany your grandparents!"
Seeing their father like this, the three Liangzi brothers didn't dare to say anything.
......
In the north yard, as soon as Lu Qingqing opened the door, the little wolf cub ran out happily to greet her, circling around their feet.
Qin Lang squatted down, picked up the wolf cub's two front legs, and lifted the little guy up.
This little guy is a little afraid of heights, and his whole body is straight.
The head is held high, but the tail is tucked tightly.
The two hind legs scraped in the air, trying to find a foothold.
When the other brothers saw this, they also came over to Qin Lang and started teasing the little wolf cub.
On the other side, Li Rui was extremely anxious when he saw that his fellow brothers had all touched the cute little wolf cubs.
Unfortunately, Qu Hong was pinching the back of his neck and he couldn't move away at all.
He tried several times but couldn't break free.
Forget it, for the sake of the little wolf cub, I'll just bow my head for now.
"Senior Brother Qu, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time!"
Seeing him begging for mercy, Qu Hong said with satisfaction:
"Alright, it's okay as long as you know you're wrong. Next time, don't act so disrespectful to your senior brother. Now you know who is the older brother and who is the younger brother, right?"
Li Rui looked at the cute little wolf cub and nodded in humiliation.
The moment Qu Hong let go, he ran directly towards Qin Lang and snatched the wolf cub from the hands of his fellow brothers.
When Li Rui saw this, he was so angry that he screamed "Ahhh" and tried to grab it.
Lu Qingqing was moving things while watching the two of them playing and laughing.
Li Rui and Qu Hong are not much different in age, and both boys are full of energy.
But he is so eager to win that something like this happens every few days.
The other people in the yard also watched them make noise with a smile, chatting with each other from time to time, and felt very relaxed.
A few days ago, everyone was worried about the bandits attacking, and their hearts were on edge.
Now it’s like this, great!
At lunch, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang made white flour pancakes.
Not only her family, but other families in the yard also made white flour pancakes.
The whole yard was filled with the aroma of noodles.
In the afternoon, many villagers from Linshan Village came to the north yard.
To thank Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang for the medicine, everyone brought something.
Even though Lu Qingqing said that the village chief and elders had already given it, the villagers still wanted to leave a thank you gift.
I don’t know if they had discussed it or just thought of the same thing.
This afternoon, people came from time to time and her door was never closed.
