Chapter 479 Uncle Tiger

Wu Mingyi at the side heard the surprise in the old man's tone, and couldn't help asking, "Sixth Uncle, when I was a child, I heard from the old people in the village that Lin Sheng's grandfather went there when he was haunted by ghosts, and Lin Sheng's father seemed to still eat food. I grew up eating Baijiafan in the village. Is it true?"

The sixth uncle held the old genealogy book and looked at the name of Wu Zhongkun on it for a long time, then slowly put it down after a while, put it on the coffee table next to him, sighed softly, looked up at Wu Mingyi and said: "This is correct."

"But there are some things you juniors don't understand. Speaking of which, the whole village in our village has to be grateful to Uncle Tiger, that is, Lin Sheng's grandfather."

"If Lin Sheng's grandfather hadn't saved the whole village back then, I'm afraid few people in our whole village would have survived the little devil's gun..."

Speaking of this, the old man sighed with some displeasure: "Do you know why I lost my temper when the village meeting asked everyone to donate money to Lin Sheng's family last time?"

Wu Mingyi was quite puzzled when he heard that Uncle Six had suddenly diverted to other matters, and immediately asked, "Uncle Six, if you have anything to say, just say it. There's no one else here."

"To be honest, I was a little puzzled when I saw you making such a big fuss at the village meeting last time."

Although Wu Mingyi was also very curious about the 'Uncle Tiger' mentioned by the sixth uncle just now, that is, the story about Lin Sheng's grandfather saving the whole village from the little devil's gun.

However, since the sixth uncle mentioned the matter of donating money to Lin Sheng's family at the village meeting the previous year and got angry, he also wanted to find out what the situation was.

Uncle Liu said: "I am a bad old man who is half buried in the ground. There are some things that I don't need to say. But now I really want to say something. After all the old people in this village have gone, every one of you junior It's a bit outrageous, to put it bluntly, it's ungrateful!"

"The same goes for those other old things. They all forgot how Uncle Tiger saved their family back then. Now they are watching Lin Sheng's family suffer. All of them have become turtles, and none of them He was willing to help Lin Sheng's family. He was not even willing to speak out to be fair..."

When this incident was brought up, Uncle Six was clearly indignant.

"Our Shajing Village is such a big village now, and every household doesn't have such a tight life. There are quite a few rich and small. But, I ask you to donate some money to Lin Sheng's family. At least it's Lin Sheng's family. The boy who gave birth to the family was rescued. Leave an incense stick for Uncle Tiger."

"But you guys are fine. Each of you has three or five, one or two hundred dollars, and you still look reluctant. The money donated by the whole village plus one yuan is less than 20,000 yuan, which is not enough for that kid in Lin Sheng's family to buy medicine for a month." Fei. You are completely beggars."

"Don't think that when I am old, my eyes will become deaf and my ears will become deaf. I know very well. You guys, many people go out for a meal and play with women for thousands of dollars. They don't even blink. "

"Let you donate some money to Lin Sheng's family. It's like cutting your flesh with a knife and killing you. Don't even think about it. If there was no Uncle Tiger back then, let alone you, it would be your grandpa, Mrs. Grandpas all died long ago at the guns of the little devils, where did you come from?"

The old man obviously gets angry when he mentions these things, and he can't finish talking.

It's probably because of this matter. The people in the village did not behave properly, I am sorry for Uncle Tiger's family. In my heart, I am not happy.

In the past, I was holding back all the time, bored in my heart, had nothing to say, and had nothing to vent. Now that he finally had a chance, he wanted to spit out the words that had been in his heart for a long time.

For many old things, Wu Mingyi naturally wouldn't know much about them at his age.

Therefore, at this moment, he didn't know what to say to Sixth Uncle's scolding except embarrassment. At the beginning, although the money he donated was the highest among everyone in the village, it was only one thousand yuan.

Most of the donations from other people's homes are thirty or fifty, one or two hundred, and those who can donate three to five hundred are rare. But Wu Mingyi knew that the sixth uncle had donated all his money back then, which was more than 3,000 yuan.

His two sons were also forced by him to donate a thousand yuan each. He even quarreled with his two sons for this reason.

"Sixth Uncle, you also know that I am young, and I don't know much about the past when the ghosts haunted the village. You just said that Lin Sheng's grandfather saved the whole village. What's going on, can you tell me Said?"

Wu Mingyi was a little embarrassed, but he still asked.

The old man glanced at him, as if he had vented his frustration on the conversation just now. After he sighed lightly, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "When the ghosts haunted our village, our village was hit by a disaster. You should all have heard of this."

"Back when the devils entered the village, they would really grab what they saw. If there was a woman in a house, it would be even more miserable. In some nearby villages, how many good girls and mothers-in-law were ruined by the devils? Even the whole village There are quite a few who were slaughtered by devils."

"Our village would not have been much better if it hadn't been for Uncle Tiger. At that time, I was only a teenager and a half. I saw with my own eyes that a small group of devils rushed into our village and wanted to burn Killing, looting, and catching women everywhere."

"Fortunately, Uncle Tiger made a move at that time, and he wiped out all the devils in that small group with his bare hands. Then he took the whole village, young and old, to the mountains to seek refuge..."

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but paused, and said with a little emotion: "Speaking of Uncle Tiger, I admire him from the bottom of my heart. His skills are indeed amazing. Do you know why I called Lin Sheng his grandfather 'Uncle Tiger'? Then Because he killed a tiger with his own hands."

"At that time, Uncle Tiger was the hero of our village and the most capable person in the whole village. He was a famous name in the distance. At that time, all the children in the village liked to play with Uncle Tiger and pester him. Learn from him."

"Sixth Uncle, is Lin Sheng's grandfather really that powerful?" Wu Mingyi couldn't help but interjected and asked, quite surprised.

The old man glanced at him and said calmly: "That's natural! The other old people in the village know about it too."

"But, how did I hear that Lin Sheng's grandfather was beaten to death by a little devil when I was young?" Wu Mingyi asked curiously.

The old man stared and said: "Although Uncle Tiger is powerful, he is a body of flesh and blood after all. How can he withstand the guns of the little devil? It was Uncle Tiger who killed many little devils back then, so he provoked the little devil's wanted revenge .”

"At that time, the devil's brigade went into the mountains to search. Uncle Tiger was worried that the devils would find the hiding place of the villagers, so he ran out to lure the devil away. Unexpectedly, Uncle Tiger was able to stop the little devil's gun in the end. Cannon attack. Died under the devil's guns."

"Otherwise, when you became Lin Sheng's father, why did you grow up eating all kinds of food in the village? It was at that time that the whole village owed Uncle Tiger. So I would rather leave a bite for Lin Sheng's father when I was hungry." .The incense of Uncle Tiger's heirs cannot be cut off."

"It's not like what you guys are doing now. Everyone watched Lin Sheng's family suffer, and they refused to reach out to help. Asking you to donate some money is like killing you with a knife..."

The sixth uncle said, and then glared at Wu Mingyi angrily.

Although Wu Mingyi is the 'richest man' in Shajing Village today, he also donated 1,000 yuan to Wu Linsheng's family back then. He is one of the tallest among the villagers.

But the old man is very clear. A mere thousand yuan is not even a drop in the bucket for Wu Mingyi's net worth. For Wu Linsheng's family, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, talking about this now, he will inevitably still feel angry in his heart.

Facing Uncle Six's accusations and sarcasm, Wu Mingyi could only respond in embarrassment, and said embarrassingly, "I don't know these old things. Besides, Uncle Six, you should also know that donating at that time didn't mean that I could do whatever I wanted." here."

"If I don't live in this village anymore, then I don't have to worry about anything. But I also want to live in the village every day. If I donate more, then other people can't say behind my back that I have money to show off. I like to show off Ah, what kind of gossip. At that time, it will be difficult for me to be a human..."

This kind of thing is really common in the village.

As long as Wu Mingyi and a few others donated a thousand yuan, many people murmured behind their backs that their family is rich, so of course we should donate more. Our family is poor, and if we have no money, we can only Donate one hundred and eighty.

This is only one thousand yuan, if Wu Mingyi really donated ten to twenty thousand yuan, or more. Others who care about face, I am afraid they have to donate more, otherwise it will not be good if it is spread.

For example, people from other villages said that Wu Mingyi from your village had donated tens of thousands to Wu Linsheng's family, how much did you donate? Those who want to save face have the nerve to say that they only donated a few dozen or a few hundred?

Although people from far and near know that Wu Mingyi is the 'richest man' in Shajing Village, it's hard to compare. But Wu Mingyi donated tens of thousands, so why don't you have a few thousand?

Otherwise, there are only one or two hundred, or even dozens, so what kind of words do you say?

If Wu Mingyi, as the richest man in Shajing Village, only donated a few hundred to one thousand, then other people who think they are in good condition can justify a donation of three or two hundred.

Those who feel that their conditions are poor, or you can say that they don’t care about face so much, donate a few dozen yuan, and it’s just so-so. It's not too shabby to say it out.

In the final analysis, Wu Mingyi was like setting a benchmark there.

He donated a lot, so other people would have to make a rough comparison between their own and Wu Mingyi's net worth, and then increase the donation so that it would not make people laugh.

But if he really donated a lot, and other people donated more money for the sake of face, he would have to be unhappy with Wu Mingyi in his heart.

Such rules are very common in the village, and even in many other places.

Uncle Six is ​​not someone who doesn't know this. After he donated more than 3,000 yuan by himself, he was often whispered by the people in the village.

On the surface, the person was flattering him that he was handsome and rich, but in fact, he was obviously mocking him for being 'so tall', pushy, poor and pretending to be fat.

It's just that because of his seniority, few people really dare to gossip in front of him and say those sour things.

It's just that the old man is not blind or deaf, and some gossip can be seen and heard to some extent. Although he pretended to be nonchalant, his heart was not so happy after all. (to be continued ~^~)
