Lawsuit at the Ranch
In the autumn of the year that Maple Ridge built Qingli Primary School, the shepherd boy of Maple Ridge's house yard had many disputes with the shepherd boy of Yan Village. According to the shepherd boy of Maple Ridge, the shepherd boy of Yan Village had repeatedly bullied them and the cattle of Maple Ridge.
There were three shepherd boys in Maple Ridge. They were Lin Sen, who was fifteen years old. There was also Xiushan and Qiyu who were on the mountain. Xiushan was fourteen years old, and Qiyu was fifteen years old. The three youths were like three little pendants, full of vigor and energy. They had endless energy all day long.
The three teenagers lived in three different halls in the big house. Therefore, the news of the Yan Village's shepherd boy bullying them and whipping the Maple Ridge cattle quickly spread in the house.
Fei Zhang said to Lin Sen,"You said that people hit you, but don't you know how to hit them?"”
Lin Sen said," Of course I know how to hit people, but I can't beat them. That person called Sinan, the people of the Yan Village call him Dead Nanny. He's a lunatic. He hits people with whatever he has in his hand. If he has a hoe, he can use it to pull out your skull.”
Fei Zhang said,"Is this a fool? Is he older or younger than you?"”
Lin Sen said," He's probably about the same age as me. He's very stocky and is at least 30 pounds heavier than me. If we fight, I'll be beaten into water by him, so I can only avoid him."”
Fei Zhang said,"Then you can only swallow your anger. If he wants to bully you, then let him bully you?"”
Lin Sen said," Of course not. When the cows of our two houses come together, there will be more cows and people. I often pick up a stone and hit it with a slingshot when he isn't paying attention. My slingshot is very accurate. I can hit a bag every time. After that, I immediately put the slingshot in my pocket and pretended to drive the cows as if nothing had happened. He was often beaten up badly, but he could not find who was beating him.”
Fei Zhang said," Didn't you say that there were four shepherd boys in their house? He couldn't see that you were hitting him. Could it be that no one else could see that? Aren't you afraid that someone would report you?”
Lin Sen said," Yes, such opportunities are rare. I used a slingshot to hit him. Naturally, I had to avoid the four people in the house. Otherwise, I would be courting death."”
Fei Zhang said,"In that case, it's not them bullying you, but you bullying him!"”
Lin Sen said,"No, no, you only know one thing and don't know the other." Whenever this brat called Dead Nanny sees us, he would whip us for no reason, as if we were born enemies. Look at the whip marks on my back and feet. They were all from him. If he didn't hit us, why would I hit him with a slingshot?”
Fei Zhang said,"What should we do? If this continues, something big will happen."”
Lin Sen said," More importantly, he always beats our cows. If the bulls in our farm run behind the butts of their cows, he will beat our cows until they run all over the mountain. He was the one who crippled that white-skinned leg. The owner of the cow even blames me.”
Lin Sen had said this many times in the main hall, and he had also said it many times in the main hall on a sunny day. Slowly, the people down the mountain knew that there was a crazy shepherd boy called Dead Nanny in Yan Village.
Whenever Xiushan thought of the dead belly of the Yan Family, he would tremble in fear. After he told his master, Mei Deng, about the matter, he pleaded,"Old Master, I won't go see the cows. I'm really afraid of being beaten.”
Mei Deng didn't say anything. Watching cows was a rewarding thing. If she didn't go, she would lose a share of her income.
Mei Deng's wife, Wang Bie Bie, said," That's true. People are important. Two of our daughters have already died. We can't let Xiushan suffer again."”
Mei Deng said," Just let him have his way. If you hide far away from him, he might not come looking for you to fight."”
Xiushan said," He's like this. If I see him on this side of the mountain, I'll go to the other side of the mountain. Then he'll come and beat me up. Every time, he'll whip me a few times.”
Mei Deng said," Can't you be more intelligent? The Yan Village is a few miles away from us. You drove the cows away early and rushed to the Five Mouth and Four Slopes. Don't tell me they're going there too?”
"They won't go there, but they'll be waiting for us at Dong Jia Po."”
Mei Deng said," This is really difficult. If you don't go to look after the cows, our family will have less income."”
Xiushan said,"Can I eat less? Can I only eat two meals a day?"”
Mei Deng said," What are you talking about, child? Eating less won't harm your body."”
"In my opinion, it's better to forget it. We don't want to see this companion cow. We can't be bullied by others."”
Praying Rain, this child, talked about this matter at home and told it vividly. He said,"If the cattle in our yard and the cattle in the Yan Village meet, there will definitely be a big show to watch. The bulls first ground the gladiator. They rubbed their horns repeatedly in the yellow mud on the ground. They spread their four feet and raised their tails high. Then, they ground their horns until they were stained with yellow mud. Then, they fought.”
Huimin asked,"Which farm has stronger cows? Them or us?"”
Praying for Rain said," Of course it's us. We have a fighting king among our bulls called the Earth Worm. It usually doesn't bark or sharpen its horns. When it sees a bull from Yan Village, it will rush over and flip its head.”
Qi Zhen said,"If I were you, I would ride on the back of a worm every day and be a victorious general."”
Praying for Rain said," You're still a general who has to win and return to the court. I'm afraid you won't even have time to become a ghost. No one dares to ride on the back of a worm. As long as you ride on it, it will throw you off."”
Huimin said,"I heard that the shepherd boy of Yan Village always bullies you. Is that true?"”
Praying for Rain said," That's right. They have a kid called Dead Nanny. He's an idiot. He swaggers around with a whip every day. If he's not hitting people, he's hitting cows. Out of the three of us shepherd boys, only I haven't been beaten.”
"Do you take Old Master's cigarettes to please him every day?" Qi Zhen asked.”
Praying for Rain said," No, no. I just smiled at him when I saw him. I gave him a thumbs up and praised him, saying that he was a great hero. In this way, he was confused. This darn belly especially likes to beat Xiushan, and he also likes to beat the cows in our house. The earth worms are the most beaten.”
Xiushan and Praying Rain did not only talk about this at home. They also talked about this with the people on the mountain. The people on the mountain also knew about the conflict between the two shepherds and were also angry.
One day, the dead belly of Yan Village crippled one of Xiushan's feet. Wang Miaomiao complained to the whole house. Many women went to their house to visit. When they went back, they exaggerated the story. The men's anger rose, and a fierce aura of fighting lay on their faces.
The construction site of Qingli Primary School was the place where people talked about this matter the most.
Boson said," How can this be? They have a big house, and we have a big house too. Do we still have to be bullied by them? Do we not know how to fight them?”
Yue Xing said,"Yes, you see, the people in our house aren't even afraid of the Japanese, but they're afraid of a Yan Village." When they fought the Japanese soldiers, was there anyone in the Yan Village who was a soldier? Was there anyone in the plainclothes team? Did anyone kill the Japanese soldiers? No! And we have everything in our house."
Meiji said," In my opinion, don't let him go. Beat him up. I'll use a fish ball to kill a few of his bastards."”
Nan Heng said," If only our plainclothes squad didn't disband. I would have a gun in my hands. As long as I have a gun, I'm the best in the world. No matter how arrogant the Yan Family is, I'm still the second best in the world!"”
Zu De said," What are you fighting for? If you have the strength, do something here. The children are quarreling. Don't interfere with the adults. Once the adults interfere, it will be difficult to talk."”
Nan Heng said,"Zu De, you don't have a belly in your crotch. Is this a child's quarrel?" This is clearly the Yan Family Village bullying us Maple Ridge people. You can take this lying down, but I can't.”
Zu De didn't say anything. He knew that Nan Heng was very arrogant. If he continued to fight with him, he wouldn't be able to win.
Qi Mou said," In my opinion, this matter still needs to be resolved. As for how to resolve it, whether it's through words or force, this needs to be discussed. My opinion is to use words instead of force.”
When Qimou said this, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him. They asked him what he meant. Qimou said,"Everyone, beat the drums and oar. Don't forget to do your work.”
With Qimou's words, everyone dispersed and went back to work.
Qi Mou said," When I said that we should use literature instead of martial arts, I meant that we should go to court with them. We will seal off the cattle road of Yan Village and not allow the cattle in their farms to pass through our cattle road to see Niu Shan.”
When Qimou said this, everyone cheered. They all said that Qimou had a good idea. As expected of a scholar. Mei Yu also gave Qimou a thumbs up and praised him.
"This way, we won't be able to fight anymore. No matter how itchy my hands are, I can only stay idle."”
Mei Chen said," It's really a strange thing. The cowboys in our house are actually afraid of the cowboys in Yan Village. Even a piece of metal can fly in the sky. Have you seen the Japanese plane? Fighting isn't a difficult thing to do. Why are you afraid of him?"”
Qi Yan said," Mei Chen, don't light the fire. There was originally a pile of dry wood there. Once you light the fire, the pile of dry wood will catch fire. With a bang, it will burn."”
Plum Cat said," What kind of fire is this? We should get to the bottom of this matter. Does the Yan Family think that Niu Shan has any status? I knew they didn't have any status." Did they have a share of that cow road? They didn't have a share at all. Since they don't have a share, why are they allowed to go that way? Why are their cows allowed to enter our pasture?”
Li Ren said," The Plum Cat has hit the nail on the head. My opinion is the same. If we want to end this matter completely and prevent the fight from happening again, I suggest that we hold a meeting in the main hall tonight. Each room will send one person and the first room will send three people to discuss a solution to this matter.”
Everyone supported Li Ren's opinion, so the construction site no longer discussed this matter. They all said that they would discuss it seriously at night. They could voice any opinions and seek unanimous action.
In the evening, the eight major families held a meeting in the main hall. After a fierce debate, everyone reached a consensus. One opinion was to use words instead of force. They should try their best to avoid resorting to force and try to resolve this problem through litigation. The second suggestion is to sever the relationship between the Yan Village's cattle and our Maple Ridge land. We won't allow their cattle to walk on our cattle road and won't allow their cattle to graze on our pasture. Everyone agreed that the task of the lawsuit should be handed over to Mr. Rain. Only he could complete this task well.
After Mister Rain received this mission, he knew that the house in Maple Ridge had pushed him into a dilemma. He was the old son-in-law of the Yan Family. If he completed the mission, he would offend the people of the Yan Family. If he failed to complete the mission, he would offend the people of Maple Ridge. No matter what, he had to offend someone.
Mr. Rain began to investigate the ownership of the ranch and the grazing road. After asking about the situation, he began to draft a lawsuit. Mr. Rain wrote:
" Lawsuit Request to Stop Yan Village from Using Maple Ridge Pastures."
Plaintiff's Agent: Farmer of Maple Ridge, born in the rain, July 28, the 33rd year of Guangxu.
Defendant: All villagers of Yan Village.
Lawsuit request: 1. Stop Yan Village from using Maple Ridge Pastures and Ranches.
2. Draw a trench at the boundary between Maple Ridge and Yan Village. The cattle of Yan Village are not allowed to cross the boundary and enter Maple Ridge.
Fact and reason: The Yan Family did not own the rights to the pastures in Maple Ridge and its surrounding areas, nor did they own the rights to the pastures in Maple Ridge. However, they had been using the pastures and pastures in Maple Ridge. In the past year, the shepherd boy of Yan Village had repeatedly beaten up the shepherd boy of Maple Ridge, which endangered the personal safety of the shepherd boy of Maple Ridge. Therefore, it was necessary to terminate the right of Yan Village to continue using the grazing road and pasture of Maple Ridge.
Evidence: 1. A copy of Maple Ridge Pastures Road Sales Contract;
2. A copy of the " Maple Ridge Ranch Sales Contract "
[Evidence source: Administrative Office of the Manchu Ancestral Hall.]
After the county court received Mr. Yu Zhong's lawsuit, it opened the court to hear the case. Mr. Yu Zhong sat on the plaintiff's seat, while Mr. He Lou from Yan Jia Village and Mr. Yu Zhong's brother-in-law sat on the defendant's seat.
The judge said,"Plaintiff, what are you suing for?”
Mister Rain said,"Mr. Judge, the villagers are suing to stop Yan Village from continuing to use our Maple Ridge Pastures.”
"According to what you said, the villagers of Yan Village have been using the pastures and pastures in Maple Ridge?"”
Mister Rain said,"Yes, that's right."”
The judge said,"Do the people of Yan Village have a share of the pastures and pastures in Maple Ridge?”
"They don't have a single share," said Mister Rain.”
The judge said," Since the people of Yan Village don't have a share in your Maple Ridge Pastures Road and Ranches, why did you allow them to pass through your Pastures Road and graze on your Ranches?”
Mr. Rain said," This is a tradition from the past. The older generation did this. Our generation has also inherited this tradition.”
The judge said," Defendant, did you hear what the plaintiff said clearly? Is what he said the truth?”
Crane Tower said," Mr. Judge, I heard it clearly. What he said is basically the truth, but I have to add one more thing. On that grazing road and that pasture, the people of Yan Village originally had a share. Later, the landlord who held the share sold the mountain to the Maple Ridge people, so we don't have a share now. We have been grazing on their pasture, and the cattle are also walking on their grazing road.”
The judge said," Alright, I understand now. That is to say, the people of the Yan Village do not have a share in the Maple Ridge Pastures and Ranches. Due to traditional customs, the people of Maple Ridge have always allowed the cattle of the Yan Village to walk on the Maple Ridge Pastures and also allowed the people of the Yan Village to graze on the Maple Ridge Ranches.”
"Yes, it's like this." Mister Rain and Crane Tower said at the same time.”
The judge said," The facts are clear. May I ask the plaintiff, what are your claims?”
Mister Rain said,"I have two requests. One is to stop the Yan Family from continuing to use our pastures and roads. The second is to allow us to set up a trench in the boundary between Yan Village and Maple Ridge as a boundary site. The cattle of Yan Village are not allowed to cross the boundary site to our territory.”
The judge said," Plaintiff, your property has always allowed the people of Yan Village to use your grazing road and pasture. This is a very generous thing. Why do you want to stop now? What's the reason?”
Mister Rain said," In the past year, the shepherd boy of Yan Village has repeatedly beaten up our Maple Ridge shepherd boy. This has seriously endangered the personal safety of the Maple Ridge shepherd boy, so we have this request."”
" Reporting to the judge," Crane Tower said," this is not the truth. The two cowherds were fighting each other. It was not a one-sided fight between the cowherd boys of Yan Village and the cowherd boys of Maple Ridge.”
Mister Rain said," Reporting to the judge, what I said is the truth. There's a kid called Sinan in the Yan Village who is the biggest fighting king. He hits whoever he sees.”
The judge said,"Plaintiff, do you have evidence? Did you see that Sinan kid beat up your Maple Ridge Shepherd Boy?”
"I don't have any evidence for now, but what I said is definitely the truth.”
The judge said," We'll take a temporary break. The court will resume in ten days. You can go collect the evidence."”
Mr. Rain returned to Maple Ridge. When he came back and told everyone about the lawsuit, everyone was a little indignant. Some people said that this was a muddleheaded official! Someone asked if he wanted someone to offer a tribute. Mister Rain said," In my opinion, this judge is still fair. It's our problem. It's because we don't have enough evidence."”
Mr. Rain found Wang Huanhuan's house and told her that he would take Xiushan to the county court in a few days and ask Xiushan to testify in court. Wang Huanhuan said,"Will the judge put our Xiushan in jail?”
Mister Rain said," How could that be? He's just going to testify in court. I'll bring him there and naturally bring him back. He won't lose a finger. Don't worry."”
If he only brought Xiushan as a witness, it would still seem that the evidence was insufficient. In order to confirm this matter, Mister Rain thought that he had to go to Tiger Pit Slope and Pan Shishan to find the shepherd boy to testify. In the future, when he went to Yuezhou's court, there would be a group of four people. This would cost a sum of money.
Mr. Rain came to the construction site of Qingli Primary School and told everyone his idea. He also talked about the cost. Mei Yu said,"The expenses are easy to deal with. Just spend it on the school's construction costs and use it sparingly.”
Qimou and the others said that they had to make things solid this time. They couldn't go back and forth. The people's hearts were unstable. They had to find witnesses at Tiger Pit Slope and Pan Shishan.
Mr. Rain had really spent a lot of effort looking for witnesses in Tiger Pit Slope and Pan Shishan. Although Tiger Pit Slope and Yan Village were two houses, they shared the same surname. If the shepherd boy in this house could testify in court, then this chain of evidence would be irrefutable.
Ten days later, the county court resumed its session.
The judge said," Plaintiff, you said that the shepherd boy from Yan Village beat up your shepherd boy from Maple Ridge. Have you found any evidence?"”
"I've found the evidence," Mister Rain said.”
"Bring it to court," said the judge.
Mister Rain called Xiushan, who was sitting in the gallery, and said,""This child is limping now. His foot was beaten by Sinan from the Yan family.”
The judge said to the witness,"What's your name, and what do you do?"”
Xiushan said,"My name is Liu Xiushan. I'm here to watch the cattle."”
The judge said,"How did you get crippled?”
Xiushan said,"My leg was crippled by Sinan of Yan Village. It was at Dong Jiapo Ranch."”
The judge said to Mr. Rain," Your evidence is still insufficient. Your witness's limp doesn't explain the problem. May I ask, do you have any additional evidence?”
Mister Rain said," I still have evidence. There are also two shepherd boys. One is the shepherd boy Pan Hengfeng from the neighboring house, Pan Shishan, and the other is the shepherd boy Yan Zhongde from the neighboring house, Tiger Pit Slope.”
The judge summoned the two shepherd boys according to the law, and the two shepherd boys also gave evidence in court.
The judge announced a ten-minute break, and then they went to discuss. Ten minutes later, the court resumed. The judge slammed the gavel on the table and said,"Now, regarding the case of Maple Ridge v. Yan Village's grazing, the verdict is as follows: First, the plaintiffs 'first claim was granted, and it was decided that the people of Yan Village were not allowed to pass through Maple Ridge Pastures or graze on Maple Ridge Pastures. Second, the Plaintiff's second claim was granted. A trench was dug at the border between Maple Ridge and Yan Village. The cattle of Yan Village were not allowed to cross the trench and enter the boundary of Maple Ridge. The cows of Maple Ridge were also not allowed to cross the ditch into the territory of Yan Village. If they violated the rules, they were at the mercy of the other party.”
After the lawsuit was won, the people of Maple Ridge were overjoyed when they heard the news. Everyone ran to Gaoshan Temple to congratulate Mr. Rain, saying that he had won honor for the house and earned benefits.
The next day, more than a hundred people from Maple Ridge carried hoes and dustpans as they came to the moat between the two houses. This area was mainly on Wanglang Ridge. The cattle of Yan Village climbed Wanglang Ridge from Wanglang Slope, and then they walked into Lu Dachong and Beidi Slope of Maple Ridge.
The joyous Maple Ridge people discussed the lawsuit as they worked.
Shu Yun said," Mister Rain is really good. He defeated the Yan Family's people with just a pen and a mouth. He made the eloquent judge unable to speak and stopped the Yan Family's cattle from grazing in the north."”
Mei Tuo said," You're just bragging. You didn't go to the court to listen. How do you know that Mister Rain argued until the judge couldn't speak?"”
Shu Yun said," Of course I didn't listen. I can infer that if the lawsuit is won, the judge will inevitably lose in Mr. Rain's hands."”
Li Ren said," You're wrong. If the lawsuit is won, it's the defendant who loses, not the judge. We won the lawsuit because we had sufficient evidence.”
Meggie said,"Actually, winning the lawsuit is no fun. I was hoping that our two houses would have a fight so that my fish would split open."”
Nan Heng said," That's right, that's right. I also want to fight. It's been a long time since I hit someone. My hands are itchy."”
Mei Yu said: " I'm afraid you are shivering. It's not good not to fight. Why must you fight? Why must you be lively!"”
Chun Yan said,"It's our Mister Rain's fault for being too arrogant. He actually defeated the Yan family's people by himself."”
Plum Cat said," Mister Rain is the son-in-law of the Yan Family. I think he's in trouble. How can he visit his relatives in the Yan Family in the future? How can he talk to the Yan Family when he sees them?"”
Chun Yan said," The daughter of Lady Yan in Mister Rain's family has passed away long ago. We can also abandon this relative. Anyway, Mister Rain has a new wife. What's there to be afraid of?”
Plum Cat said," You make it sound so easy. How can Mister Rain lose his son and daughter? There are a lot of sons and daughters. If they want to go to Uncle's house, how can a nephew not recognize Uncle?”
After Crane Tower of Yan Village lost the lawsuit and returned to Yan Village, he told everyone about the situation. The people of Yan Village were also furious. Some people say that if we take that grazing road and herd cows there, our ancestors have been doing this for thirteen generations. Why is it that we can't go there anymore? Some people said that if the Shepherd Boy fought, they could just punish the Shepherd Boy. Why should the entire house be jointly and severally responsible? Why should the entire house be implicated? Some people said that it was all because of that damn kid. This kid was really a freak. They should just beat him to death. Some people say that our Yan Village has a good son-in-law. He is well-read and can defeat his father-in-law's family with a pen and a mouth.
A few days later, the people of the Yan Village saw the Maple Ridge people digging a ditch at the boundary and cutting off the grazing road of the Yan Village. They were even angrier when they saw that they wanted to cut off the communication between the two houses.
A few people in charge invited the elders of the various rooms to hold a meeting. After discussing for a few nights, it was difficult to reach a consensus. In the end, everyone came to a consensus that they should not go to war with Maple Ridge. Firstly, they might not win this fight. Second, even if they won, they would lose the lawsuit and have to pay a sum of money. If he didn't fight with the Maple Ridge people, he wouldn't be able to vent his anger. What should he do? Everyone focused their attention on the son-in-law of the Yan Family, Mister Rain. They were determined to kill the person who caused the Yan Family to lose the lawsuit.
With this unified opinion, the remaining problem was to discuss how to kill Mister Rain. Mister Rain was a teacher. It was very difficult to enter Maple Ridge to kill a person, whether it was day or night. Maple Ridge was a big house. There was a tall pond behind it and a wall in front. The other people in Yan Village did not know where Mister Rain lived. Even if they knew, it would be very difficult for the people of Yan Village to enter Maple Ridge. There were people on night duty there.
The final suggestion of the Yan family was to lure Mister Rain to the Yan family and then kill him there. They had given the task of tricking Mister Rain's brother-in-law and even threatened that if they did not accept this task, they would chase their entire family out of Yan Village. If he accepted this mission and completed it, then he could choose the best paddy field in front of the door as his private property, and the entire house would share this land. What else could Mister Rain's brother-in-law say? His elder sister had already died many years ago, so his elder sister's husband was naturally an outsider. Moreover, this elder sister's husband had also become the public enemy of the Yan Family Residence, so killing him was fine!
Mr. Rain's brother-in-law was called Sandcastle, and this Sandcastle went on his way after receiving the mission. He walked from the vegetable garden behind him and headed north. He held a pair of scissors in his hand and used them as a feather duster. He imitated the footsteps of the actors on the stage and whipped them. From time to time, he would hum a few lines of Xue Rengui's lyrics.
The sand castle walked past Wanglang Slope, Wanglang Ridge, Maple Ridge, Shizhou Slope, Forbidden Garden Tree, and finally into Gaoshan Temple, where they met Mr. Rain.
Mister Rain was very happy to see his brother-in-law from the Yan Village. He was thinking about his guilt and how he had let down the people of the Yan Village. Who knew that the relatives of the Yan Village would come?
Mister Rain said,"Have you eaten? If you haven't, I'll get someone to make it for you."”
Sandcastle smiled and said," Brother-in-law, what's there to eat? It's already the middle of the morning. Who hasn't eaten breakfast? Who has eaten lunch? Are you stupid from teaching?"”
Mister Rain slapped his thigh and said," Ah, yes, yes. Look at me. I'm happy to see you."”
" Brother-in-law, are you still busy?" Sandcastle asked." How have you been? Have you been eating well and sleeping well?"”
Mister Rain said,"It's hard to find your fault. You're busy, but you're busy. You eat well and sleep well." We are currently repairing the school. When the school is repaired, I will move there to live.”
Sandcastle thought,'This is really a bookworm. He can't hear the meaning behind my words.'
Mr. Rain continued," I don't necessarily have to move. The new school doesn't necessarily have to use a private teacher like me. The house may have to use a new teacher, so I'll have to close my business."”
"Brother-in-law, I'm here to invite you over today. Big Brother wants you to have lunch."”
Mister Rain said,"First, it's not the New Year, and second, it's not a festival. Why are you inviting me to lunch?"”
Sandcastle said," Brother-in-law, don't you remember? Today is Big Brother's birthday. He wants to call a few brothers over for a drink. It's going to be lively. My mission is to personally invite you over."”
Mister Rain said," Today is the 14th of September. Oh, it's really your big brother's birthday. Forget it, I haven't eaten meat for a few days. It's good to have a greasy mouth."”
Sandcastle thought to himself,'What a glutton. I'm afraid my flesh will be eaten by others.'
Mr. Rain played chess with the sandcastle again, then changed his clothes and followed the sandcastle on their way. They walked past the Shi 'an Hall, the long alley, the ice hall, the square alley, and came to the main hall, where they met Xigui. Xigui said,"Are you going to visit relatives in the rain?"”
Mister Rain said," That's right. I'm going to Yan Village for lunch. It's his big brother's birthday."”
Xigui said,"You are so forgetful in the rain. Don't you know what you have done?"”
Mister Rain said," I didn't forget. I ate porridge this morning. Yesterday, I taught elementary school."”
Xigui said,"It's good that you haven't forgotten. Then go ahead and drink less!"”
Mr. Rain left again. He walked past the large terrace, the forbidden garden tree, the South Garden Hall, and the Qingli Primary School that was under construction. Here, Mr. Rain was stopped by a group of people.
Shu Yun said to Sandcastle," You're the brother-in-law of the Yan family, right? Your name is Sandcastle, right? What are you doing here?"”
Sandcastle said,"I'm here to pick up my sister-in-law for lunch. It's my big brother's birthday."”
Shu Yun said," I think you're a silly treasure, not a sandcastle. What intentions do you have? Mister Rain can't see it, but I have sharp eyes. I can see it."”
Mei Yu said," That's right. Mister Yu Zhong, you can't go today. At least, you can't go to Yan Jia Village for the next two years. It's dangerous and unpredictable."”
Shu Yun said," Isn't today your third brother's birthday? How can you celebrate someone else's birthday? You forgot your third brother. You're really stupid as a teacher."”
Mister Rain said,"I remember that Third Brother's birthday isn't today. It's still half a month away."”
Li Ren said," My birthday is today. Your sister-in-law, Fang Fang, has specially prepared meat for me. Stay for dinner. We brothers will drink a few cups!"”
Mister Rain said regretfully to the sandcastle,""Then you can go back. I won't go. My brother is still the first. I can't offend my third brother.”
"Then how am I going to explain this to Big Brother? I've already made a promise." Your third brother sees you every day and you're afraid that you won't be able to eat a meal. It's better for you to leave with me!”
Mr. Rain was about to follow them when he was stopped by Mei Yu. Mei Yu said to Sandcastle,"Do you know me? I'm Mei Yu. When we were killing the Japanese, there was a plainclothes squad that was known as the Hetang. If you continue to nag here, I'll kill you. Hurry up and leave!”
After the sandcastle left, he walked back unhappily. He had failed to kill four birds with one stone. There was no hope.
