The Big Landlord

It came so suddenly, Linglong also recognized that it was a snake, and panicked immediately. , with both hands struggling to climb up to the king himself, a small mouth opened as hard as possible, his face completely turned earthy, and he couldn't say a single word.

"It's okay, don't be afraid," Wang Ben picked her up, put one hand in his arms, patted her back and comforted her softly.

"Wow!" Linglong finally felt safe, and began to cry with her mouth open, her nostrils bubbling, she couldn't persuade her.

While coaxing Linglong, Wang Ben always paid attention to the snake's movements. It was a non-poisonous cauliflower snake. It was estimated that he was enjoying the cool water in the water. . Suddenly being stepped on, the snake should have been frightened a lot. It jumped out of the water and started crawling along the sand ditch, until it was coiled under a bush, and then it stopped moving.

It was evening, and the villagers were finishing work from the fields and preparing to go home. Seeing a few neighbors passing by, Wang Ben hurriedly pointed to the bushes and said, "There is a snake there!"

"Go and call Old Man Li!" After seeing the villagers, they immediately ordered one of the teenage children to run away. Li Laohan is a well-known snake catching master in the village. Poisonous and non-poisonous are easy to catch. He often touches the hole by the river, and then mentions it in the town to sell. The price is quite considerable.

A few minutes later, the old man Li rushed over, walked over in a hurry, and grabbed the snake by seven inches as soon as he shot. When he lifted it in his hand and shook it, he had no resistance at all, and became a rope at the mercy of others. The entire snake catching process only took a few seconds, and the movement was really numb.

"Everyone will come to drink snake soup at night," Old Man Li greeted warmly and left triumphantly with the snake in his hand.

The turmoil finally ended. After the snake was caught, Linglong had already stopped crying. She was completely surprised by the process of catching the snake. She felt unbelievable.

After being frightened by this, the little girl immediately behaved a lot, and no longer dared to run around, she followed the king obediently, unable to say a word, even walking lightly, not daring to step on the grass , a pair of eyes looked around on the ground from time to time, until they felt completely safe, and then dared to step down.

After dinner, Wang Ben took Xiao Linglong out of the door and walked to Old Man Li's house. He didn't want to eat snake soup, but wanted to take this opportunity to talk with the villagers. He came back for so long, or While busy farming, either busy enjoying life or coaxing Linglong to be happy, I haven't really gotten along with the villagers. If things go on like this, it will be very detrimental to the harmony between neighbors, and everyone will say that he is arrogant and arrogant. It's not good to pretend to be deep or something.

There was a large pot on the edge of the bamboo forest next to Old Man Li's yard. The snake caught during the day was being boiled in it. The flames at the bottom of the pot were burning vigorously. It was particularly eye-catching at night, attracting many villagers.

There were already many people gathered in the yard, all dressed in cool clothes, holding water glasses, shaking paddle fans, chatting and joking happily, and the scene was full of laughter. The residents of Xiushui Village live relatively scattered, and they rarely get together to enjoy the shade at night. Today is a rare chance to meet.

"Yo, Benzi, you are finally willing to come out. Who is this little girl, is it the child bride you raised?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy looked at Wang Ben and Linglong, and said yin and yang strangely, there are very few Wang Ben Appearing in front of everyone, coupled with not coming back for several years, became the focus of everyone's discussion for a while.

Without waiting for Wang Ben to reply, Linglong looked up and asked him curiously, "What is a child bride?"

"Well..." Wang Ben was stunned,

He lied quietly, "That's what the little sister meant,"

Unexpectedly, Linglong believed it to be true, her toes tiptoed, she looked at everyone with a smile, and said loudly, "I am the child bride of brother Benzi!"

"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter. Wang Ben couldn't help laughing and laughing. It seemed that children should not be fooled.

"This little girl is so good-looking, she looks like a doll," a group of women came over, pinched her delicate cheeks, and touched her little head. It's like eating honey.

A middle-aged man asked suspiciously, "Benzi, why did you think about running back to raise fish?"

"I'm going to come back to be a farmer right now," Wang Ben answered calmly after finding a seat to sit down.

This remark immediately attracted many voices of opposition, and the villagers began to talk and talk a lot.

"If you don't eat national food, come back and carry the sun across the mountains, you can imagine," a young man said bluntly.

"It's not worth it to read so many books or be a farmer. It's a pity that so many tuition fees are paid," the aunt sighed regretfully.

"It's not easy to be a farmer. You work hard every day, and your annual income is not as good as working for a month. Why don't you go out to work," the uncle suggested with concern.

...

Faced with these topics, Wang Ben smiled and answered them one by one without haste. He has already made up his mind about this farmer. Although everyone does not understand him now, one day everyone will understand. I believe that it will not be long before he is not only much better than part-time workers in terms of money, but more importantly, in terms of the nature of life and the meaning of life, everyone can gradually understand it.

Everyone continued to chat happily, this one told a joke, the other told a story, or shared interesting things in life with everyone, or asked a certain child to sing a song. During the whole process, everyone was smiling, and the whole hospital The dam is very lively, and in this quiet night, it is very leisurely and comfortable.

"The TV show is coming!"

I don't know which TV fan shouted. Old man Li hurriedly moved the black and white TV to the outside of the courtyard, but the effect was not very good. It was either slashes or pockmarks on the full screen. Not sure, it's all bursts of electric current.

"I'm going to turn the antenna," a child volunteered, running over and slowly twisting the bamboo pole of the TV antenna, stopping every time it turned a little bit to wait for confirmation. He could barely see the image clearly, and although there was noise in the voice, he could still hear it clearly, but it was a pity that he was completely gone as soon as he let go.

"You just stand there and don't move," the child was a typical TV fan. After shouting, he started enjoying the TV on his own, regardless of whether the child wanted it or not.

The TV series played Qiongyao's grass by the Qingqing River, and the people in the courtyard were deeply involved in it. Ma Jingtao's hysterical roar and Xiao Jinming's sad cry made a large group of people watch, tears streaming out. I scolded twice from time to time, and I was completely infected.

This kind of TV series is really old-fashioned for the reborn Wang Ben, but he still watches it with everyone. Since he has come back, he must devote himself to this life.

"oops!"

In the wonderful place, there was suddenly no signal, everyone shouted in unison, and looked at the child who was holding the antenna.

"My feet are numb," said the child very aggrieved. He didn't see for a second, and eagerly served everyone.

The kid didn't feel distressed either, he put a stool over there, and after the TV had a signal again, he continued to watch it wholeheartedly.

"Drinking snake soup!"

Before I knew it, the two episodes of the TV series had already finished, and with Old Man Li shouting happily, everyone got up one after another, commenting on the TV plot vividly and preparing to taste delicious snake soup.
