Farmer's Cannon Fodder: Listen to me, the whole family, change the plot
Chapter 40 Su Xigen and Corvée
"This is not mine! I didn't dig a hole under your wall!"
Old Mrs. Su stretched out her hand and gestured eagerly, but this gesture allowed everyone to see the small hoe in her right hand, which she had never let go of even when she was struggling in the toilet.
The moonlight was bright and everyone could see everything clearly. For a moment, the scene fell into silence.
Naturally, Old Mrs. Su also saw the small hoe in her hand, and quickly let go, letting the small hoe fall back into the manure.
But even if her little hoe fell into the manure and disappeared, everyone had seen it and could not deny its existence.
"I heard that your family has been looking for a Taoist fortune teller recently. Since you took this thing out and wanted to bury it under the wall of my house, I don't think it is a good thing."
Old Mrs. Song was shaking the talisman in her hand and looking at Old Mrs. Su, who was dressed in dirty clothes, with an unfriendly tone.
Old Mrs. Su had never expected that Old Mrs. Song actually knew about her plan to find a Taoist priest. For a moment, she thought that Old Mrs. Song had seen through her plan a long time ago, and that what happened tonight was waiting for her. Cold sweat began to break out from her back.
Although Old Lady Song was shouting in the name of a dung thief, she was the protagonist of the incident and the one who was speaking the most. Her voice was loud and clear, which led to all the villagers who were watching to follow her words and thoughts.
She was now talking about the talisman and about Old Lady Su digging a hole under the wall to bury something. Everyone's thoughts turned to this and they had forgotten about the incident with the dung thief.
Nowadays, no one says that seeking immortals or Buddhas, or seeking gods or Taoism is feudal superstition, and almost everyone believes this.
Burying talismans under someone's wall is equivalent to cursing that person openly.
It can be said that I stepped on a landmine.
After all, if you dare to bury it under the wall of your neighbor's house, you may dare to bury it under the wall of someone else's house as well.
Once this kind of thing happens, there may be many more.
Everyone was worried and with so much attention paid, they naturally started to think on Old Lady Song's side.
"This Su family is really something!" At this time, someone remembered the Su family's shaman dance some time ago: "In my opinion, their family is also evil! The witch from the next village came to their house to perform a shaman dance, and after returning, her arm was broken! Since his granddaughter was born, all kinds of strange things have happened in their family. He is not happy about it, and he wants to hurt others! Bah!"
"It's over, it's over. I have to go back and see if they've bought anything under my wall! I had a fight with Old Lady Su yesterday!"
"That's right, I have to go back and take a look too!"
"As far as I'm concerned, this outsider is still an outsider after all!"
……
They were chattering away, saying all sorts of things.
Old Mrs. Su knew in her heart that the talisman was not a good thing, but the best thing she should do at this time was to deny it.
She didn't think that this group of people would pull her up, so she simply struggled to climb out of the pit by herself.
She was so dirty that the people around her took a few steps back.
Originally, Old Lady Song just wanted to embarrass her and then expose her true colors. She didn't intend to do anything else, and seeing how dirty she looked, she didn't want to get involved with her at close range.
So Old Mrs. Song also took a step back.
When Old Lady Su saw that everyone had retreated, and she was also aware of the power of her things, she prepared to run.
But before running away, he still said stubbornly: "This thing has nothing to do with me!"
After she left these words, she started running towards her house.
She refuses to admit it, and no one can do anything to her. This matter depends on the attitude of Old Lady Song.
Old Lady Song looked at the talisman in her hand, handed it to Song Dafu and asked him to deal with it, then sighed and said, "You have to be on guard against others!"
This sentence had a significant effect, and most people present listened to it.
So, the next day, before lunch time, the news that Old Lady Su had buried talismans under the wall of her neighbor's house to curse people spread throughout Songjia Village.
Only then did the Su family realize that Old Lady Su was involved in the noise last night.
But they didn't have time to regret, and didn't go out to help or stop Old Lady Su, because Old Lady Su fell ill because she took a bath with cold water.
Last night, when Old Mrs. Su returned home, she felt that she looked so embarrassing that she didn't ask anyone to help her boil water. She couldn't stand the bad smell on her body if she boiled water herself, so she just took a bath with the not-so-hot water.
But she is old after all, and can't compare to when she was young.
This bath successfully made her fall ill the next day.
Looking at her like this, no one else in the Su family would say anything about her except Old Man Su.
But because of this incident, the Su family was able to be peaceful for a while.
This period of peace was not long, just one month.
The reason for breaking this peaceful situation is that winter is approaching, and the road on the official road has collapsed, and the nearby canal has also collapsed, and people need to repair it.
The day of conscription is coming again.
This matter had nothing to do with the Song family, because according to the laws of this dynasty, families with a scholar could be exempted from conscription. The Song family had a scholar named Song Daan, so naturally they were not on the conscription list.
But the Su family was different. There were no scholars in the Su family. Even if there were not many people needed this time, one person had to be sent to perform labor service.
The Su family was embroiled in a dispute over the selection of people to serve in the military service.
According to the laws of this dynasty, those who are sixty years old or above can be exempted from labor service, so Old Man Su does not have to go.
Those under the age of fifteen do not have to perform labor service for the time being, so the grandchildren of the Su family do not have to go either.
The candidate is naturally among Su Xikui, Su Xishan and Su Xigen.
According to the original rules, the Su family members would take turns to serve as laborers, and this time it should be Su Xigen's turn.
Just like every time before when it was Su Xigen's turn, Old Mrs. Su would persuade Old Man Su to take her beloved little son with her.
But this time, not to mention that Old Man Su is over sixty years old, his legs are disabled and he cannot go in place of Su Xigen.
Su Xigen didn't want to do the hard work, so he started pretending to be sick.
He knew in his heart that as long as he pretended to be sick, his mother, who loved him the most, would naturally find a way to help him.
But he forgot that ever since Old Lady Su fell ill, there had been constant rumors that the Su family was cursing other families. It seemed as if Old Lady Su was holding a grudge against herself, and her illness had never fully healed.
So, as soon as he started pretending to be sick, he was exposed by his second brother Su Xishan.
The eldest brother, Su Xikui, was working in the town and was paid. If Su Xigen pretended to be sick, the one who had to take the blame and do the labor service would be Su Xishan.
No one is willing to do hard work, and Su Xishan is no exception.
So, isn’t the Su family becoming lively now?
