Chapter 665

There weren't many large trees on the nearby hillside, just those few. They found one with a trunk that looked sturdier, and they didn't know what kind of tree it was.

Anyway, a tree that can hang a person is a good tree.

While they were dragging him, the person woke up again, whimpering, wailing, and panting there, and kept begging for mercy.

"Shut up! It's the middle of the night, don't you know other people need to sleep? Don't you have any public morality?" Ye Yaodong said righteously, and kicked him twice more.

"That's right, can't you be sensible and shut up?"

The little thief A Qiu was streaming with tears; his tears and snot were all mixed together. He had been beaten like this, and they still wanted him to be sensible? He couldn't even cry out loud if he wanted to...

"I'll untie the rope behind him and bind it to the front, so it's convenient to hang him up."

"Good, anyway, he can't run."

The two of them got busy for a while. A Qiu was thoroughly tamed after not cooperating and getting beaten. When told to stand under the big tree, he really crawled obediently to the big tree. Anyway, he was going to be hung up no matter what, so it was better for a hero not to suffer immediate losses.

Ye Yaodong was also very satisfied.

"Isn't it better to be obedient and honest earlier? It's the middle of the night, isn't it comfortable to sleep at home? You had to come out to be a thief, this is the price."

"Have you heard of that guy Xu Laifu in our village? It's because he often wandered around blindly at night that one morning he was found lying on the road covered in blood. He had lost a hand, severed at the wrist, with only a bare wrist left, and the wound was only the size of a peach..."

A wound the size of a peach...

A Qiu trembled in fear...

"This person, you just can't do bad things, it's easy to get retribution, and if you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke, you have to pay the price."

"Nowadays, wanting to get rid of someone is too simple, it just costs a little money. Buying arms and legs can also be clearly priced. There are plenty of people fighting to do it, it couldn't be simpler..."

Ah Guang frowned and sniffed, "What's that smell?"

Ye Yaodong also twitched his nose, "Urine smell?"

Ah Guang took a flashlight and looked at A Qiu's crotch, "Damn, you're such a coward, and you still dare to learn from others and come out at night?"

"Coward! Scared like this just from a few words."

"This is also a true story, not just random talk. Tsk tsk tsk, I heard he can only use his left hand to eat, can only use his left hand for everything. I don't know what he'll do when his parents get old, and he can't even get a wife. I heard he's asking people everywhere if he can buy a wife?"

"This person, you still have to be sensible, isn't it better to honestly be a person..."

"I was wrong, I was wrong... I didn't do anything..."

Everyone in the nearby villages had heard of Xu Laifu's matter, but those from other villages didn't know as clearly as those from the village. Scared like this, A Qiu's soul was scared away, and he regretted it so much he almost cried, fearing that he would also be missing a part.

"Hang him up, let his feet touch the ground, so he doesn't get hung until dawn and die."

After a good beating, hanging on a tree and blowing in the wind for a night, waiting until dawn tomorrow would be four or five hours, which would be enough for him to drink a pot. If he were suspended, it would probably be bad.

He didn't want to get blood on his hands; just being able to beat the crowd was enough.

"Fine."

Ah Guang swung the other end of the rope in his hand onto the tree a few times before hanging it up, then jumped a few times, but didn't grab the end of the rope.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "If the father is tall, the mother is short, fortunately my sister isn't short, otherwise I'd really worry about my future nephew being held back by his biological father."

"What kind of talk is that? I'm not as good as the top, but better than the bottom. At least I'm 1.74 meters, which is a famous tall guy in the village!"

"Yeah, a 1.74-meter tall guy."

Picking a tall one among the short ones, there's nothing wrong with that. Compared to others, he is indeed a tall guy.

"Give it to me, you hold the person."

"Yeah, you think everyone can grow as tall as you? Being that tall is useless, it's a waste of fabric, making clothes and pants requires more material than others."

Ah Guang swapped with him, holding the person there, waiting for him to pull the rope.

Ye Yaodong's jumping ability was also just so-so. He jumped once, grabbed the rope, pulled it down hard, hung the person up, and said.

"Isn't it a bargain to be taller than others and use more material than others when buying ready-made clothes?"

"Aren't your clothes all made by your wife?"

"Call her Third Sister-in-law! This rope tied to the trunk isn't long enough, you run back and get another one to connect it. Get a longer one, this needs to be tied tightly, tie it a few more times."

He had to jump slightly to reach the rope, so it was too short to tie, although it was also because the little thief A Qiu's hands hadn't been raised just now, but it was still a bit too short.

"Good, then you hold it first."

"Yeah."

Ah Guang ran back quickly and ran back just as quickly, "The three of them have almost filled the car, let's hurry up."

"Three people? Aqing is moving there too?"

"Yeah."

"Then hurry up, tie it up. By the way, take off your smelly socks and stuff them in his mouth to block it, so he doesn't wake up the people around and disturb their dreams."

"Ah? You want my socks, your socks won't work?"

"My socks were just made, they won't work, they aren't smelly enough!"

Ah Guang was speechless for a moment and had no choice but to take off the Liberation shoes he was wearing, revealing the mended socks on top.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly twitched his nose, only to see him nimbly take off one that had been mended, and then lift the other foot. This foot was even more exaggerated; the big toe on top had already broken through the siege and was exposed on the outside, greeting him.

"Is my sister too much? She didn't even make you a few more pairs of socks? Didn't your dad pick up a lot of fabric during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year?"

"I have good ones, this is just one that just broke and I didn't have time to mend it. I was in a hurry to come out just now, and I didn't look carefully when I put on the socks. I only saw there was a hole when I put them on, and I was too lazy to change them. Anyway, no one sees them inside the shoes. I wear the unmended ones normally, and I wear the tattered ones when I'm working."

Ye Yaodong thought about it. His clothes, pants, and socks were all folded by Aqing the night before and placed on the stool next to him. He just woke up and took them to wear.

It seems he's like that too?

Wear good socks normally, wear mended ones when working?

He didn't pay attention to these things either. Anyway, someone had them all arranged for him, and he had them to wear.

He didn't speak anymore, connected the two ends of the rope firmly, wrapped it around the trunk a few times, adjusted the height of the person hanging there, and tied it securely.

Ah Guang also rolled his smelly socks into a ball and stuffed them into his mouth.

"It's a good thing they were broken, otherwise I'd have to compensate for a pair of socks."

"Boss Pei is still short of a pair of socks? That's funny."

"Then why don't you take off your socks?"

"No way."

The two of them walked around the person hanging up while talking, and then clapped their hands.

"Praise! Work done!"

Ah Guang rubbed his chin, took the flashlight, and shone it on the person from head to toe, "If anyone comes out to pee in the middle of the night and sees this, they'll be scared half to death."

"Who cares, let's go, this has delayed us for quite a while." Ye Yaodong turned around and walked back first.

Ah Guang put away the flashlight and followed his footsteps.

The tractor at the gate was already stuffed full. Uncle Zhou and A Zheng were holding ropes and bundling the dried fish on top to prevent it from falling.

And Lin Xiuqing and the old lady were standing at the gate looking out. After seeing them return, they also walked a few quick steps forward.

"Is he hung up? Won't there be any problems?"

"No, I didn't hang him in mid-air, I let his feet touch the ground. Blowing in the wind for a night, he won't die, at most he'll lie down for a few more days. Let him deepen his memory and be a good person in the second half of his life."

"That's good, having a profound lesson will be enough to make him never dare to come to the door again."

"He definitely won't dare to come again, he was scared to the point of peeing just now."

The old lady handed over a cloth bag, "I boiled ten eggs, take them to eat on the road, and by the way, get rid of the bad luck, good luck and prosperity."

"Good, you guys go into the house, continue sleeping, it's only past 12, it's still the middle of the night, it's still a long way from dawn."

"Once you leave, we'll go into the house. We loaded a few more bags today, tell Uncle Zhou to be careful when driving on the road, especially when turning."

"Got it."

A Zheng shouted on the car, "Alright, everything is done, hurry up and get on the car, I've reserved space for four feet for you."

"Then I really thank you."

"You're welcome, who are we to each other? Hurry up, don't delay me making a fortune."

Ye Yaodong grabbed the tractor's handrail, stepped directly on the sack, and found the space for four feet that A Zheng had reserved for them.

It was really reserved just right; even if two legs were stretched in, they still had to squeeze.

"Hiss~ Damn! How come I didn't know your sense of space was so good? As soon as my legs squeezed in, I was almost stabbed to death." Ah Guang hissed and wailed as soon as his legs stretched in.

Ye Yaodong, however, felt nothing, "It's a good thing I haven't taken off my wool pants inside, the dried fish can't stab me."

"You still wear wool pants?" Ah Guang was surprised.

"Of course, I'm almost 30, I have to pay attention to maintenance."

People of a certain age are reluctant to take off their wool pants early. Keep warm in spring and freeze in autumn. It's just early spring, and it's still cool in the morning and evening. Only at noon is it relatively hot, so it's better to wrap up tightly.

"You're too weak, what young person still wears wool pants?"

"That's right, we don't even wear wool pants in the middle of winter."

Both of them looked at him with disdain.

"What do you know? You'll know when you're old. By then, this will hurt and that will hurt. These are all the roots of illnesses left behind when you were young."

A Zheng's cheeks twitched twice, he gave two dry laughs, "The tone of your voice is the same as my 80-year-old grandma."

Uncle Zhou was digging out the crank from the storage box under the seat, preparing to start the car, and laughed, "Adong is not wrong..."

"Be careful on the road, it's fine to drive slower." The old lady stood on the side and said worriedly.

"Got it, Aqing, remember to call Secretary Chen over tomorrow and let them handle it."

"I know."
