Chapter 57

"I......" Du Quan wanted to say that he didn't, but he saw that they had just heard their own words, so he couldn't defend himself. Thinking of his end, he couldn't help shaking with fear.

Generally, when you catch a thief in the countryside, you fall directly on a tree and beat you all night. If you are still alive, even if you are lucky, the villagers will let you go. If you are killed in bad health, you will not be convicted of murder.

"Village head, I'm wrong. Please don't hit me!" Du Quan said and kowtowed. His health is not good. If he was beaten all night, he would be killed!

"Hum! Now you know you're scared?" Li Mingfu glared at him and said, "didn't you just want to kill someone and steal money?"

"Village head, village head, I know I'm wrong. I'll never do such a thing again. Please forgive me this time!" Du Quan seemed to be really frightened and kowtowed to Li Mingfu in tears.

After all, he was from the same village. Seeing Du Quan's remorse, Li Mingfu was also a little soft hearted, but he was still angry when he thought that he wanted to not only rob Du Xiaoli's money, but also kill her. He will never allow such bad things to happen in his village!

"Xiaoli, how do you deal with this?" Li Mingfu looked at Du Xiaoli and asked.

Although Du Quan cried very sad, Du Xiaoli still saw a trace of reluctance in his eyes and knew that he was not really repentant. He said, "well, village head, it would be cruel to kill him, and we can't decide his life or death without permission. Otherwise, send him to the government. The government must know what to do with him."

Li Mingfu thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he said to Shi Da and them, "you take him to my house and we will send him to the government tomorrow. Xiaoli, please rest early."

"Thank you, village head." Du Xiaoli bowed to Li Mingfu and said.

Li Mingfu waved to her and led his party down the mountain.

Compared with being hung on a tree for a night, life and death are unpredictable. It seems better to be sent to the government, so Du Quan obediently followed Li Mingfu and them.

"I was really shocked just now. Why didn't you run away when he rushed over?" Luo Qi looked at Du Xiaoli and said after everyone left.

"I didn't know you were coming. Besides, he can't hurt me." Du Xiaoli said with a smile. "Well, after the matter is handled, I'll go back to the house to sleep. Silver, go back to the house to sleep."

Silver followed Du Xiaoli back to the house, lay on the ground and narrowed her eyes. Du Xiaoli also lay down and slept.

Luo Qi stood in the yard, shook her head reluctantly, and then went back to her room to have a rest.

Meanwhile, lenger comes to Han Mingyi's room.

"Young master, Du Quan was caught stealing from the girl's house. Now the village head has taken him away and is going to send him to the government tomorrow." lenger told Han Mingyi what he had just seen.

Han Mingyi was silent for a moment and said, "go and tell sun Zheng tomorrow that the coal mines in the border city are short of manpower. Let him make some contributions."

"Yes, young master." lenger turned and went out. Han Mingyi took out a broken money bag containing silver and looked at it for a while before turning out the light and going back to bed.

In the later days, Li Xueqing didn't come to Du Xiaoli again. Only sister Hong came to buy oranges several times. In September, after selling oranges for the last time, Du Xiaoli told sister Hong that the oranges had been sold out and was ready to transplant the orange trees to the house for some time.

Sister Hong also estimated that she would go back and tell her wife that she would go back after paying the money.

On September 9, I went up to drink.

Early that morning, Han Mingyi and his party came to Du Xiaoli's house, called her and Luo Qi, and ran to a mountain to drink. Du Xiaoli prepared some small dishes and desserts and went with them in several baskets.

Cold one, they threw a blanket on the ground and put the dishes and snacks prepared by Du Xiaoli and their wine on the blanket.

"I'm really not afraid of trouble." although Du Xiaoli already knew that Han Mingyi paid more attention to these, he didn't expect to bring blankets when he came to climb and drink.

Du Xiaoli didn't want to drink liquor, but she brought her two small altar wine to her. She poured herself a cup.

When the wine was ready to drink, she sent several jars to Han Mingyi and them, but they had already drunk it up. Seeing that Du Xiaoli still had one, Ji Liufeng asked her to pour herself a cup and said, "why haven't you finished your drink?"

Du Xiaoli poured another cup for Han Mingyi and Luo Qi and said, "I'll just have these two jars."

These jars are very small, and one jar can only pour more than a dozen cups.

"In other words, your wine is really good. If you weren't too young, you could open a winery," Ji Liufeng said.

"You can also make money when you are young," Du Xiaoli said, and then told Li Xueqing about looking for herself.

Ji Liufeng poured himself another cup after drinking one cup and said, "she hasn't come to you for so long. Maybe she gave up."

"It's nothing to give up! It's the same when I grow up and open my own winery." Du Xiaoli said indifferently. But she knew that before long, Li Xueqing should come to find herself.

Seeing the blooming chrysanthemums on the edge of the cliff, Du Xiaoli got up to pick some, made himself a wreath, played with it in his hand, and didn't take it with him. "The chrysanthemums are beautiful this year," Luo Qi said, looking at the wreath on Du Xiaoli's hand. "Yes, when you have time to pick some back, dry them and make flower tea." Du Xiaoli said, "by the way, brother Xiaoyi, lenger, do they have time in two days?" "what's the matter?" Han Mingyi looked at her and asked. "I want to transplant the orange tree to my mountain in two days, so I don't have to run so far in the future." Du Xiaoli said, "but it's not too far away, so I want to ask lenger them to help me." "yes. How many people do you want?" Han Mingyi asked. "Well, how much do you want?" Du Xiaoli asked. Han Mingyi couldn't help knocking her on the head and said, "only that day you saw so much." "Oh. The more, the better." Du Xiaoli said, and then put the wreath on Han Mingyi's head when he didn't notice. I can't help laughing at the thought that everyone used chrysanthemums to describe something in previous lives. I told you to knock me on the head! Han Mingyi took down the wreath and said, "if you laugh again, there will be no one." Du Xiaoli immediately closed his mouth and sighed in his heart that this guy is so small, but he is so black. He doesn't know what he will be like when he grows up. "Ah, it's a good life!" Du Xiaoli sighed, lying on the blanket, his hands on his head, looking at the blue sky. Seeing the three people sitting straight, he said, "you also lie down. It's more comfortable!"
