C170 What a group of devilish children! (1/2)
Xiao Letian called a guard beside him to whisper a few words into his ear, after saying that, the guard turned around and left, while Huang Liu who was dragging his two mucus behind continued to fight with the willow tree root.
Huang Liu had never experienced such hardships in his life. Ever since he was young, he was already a high and mighty scholar in the eyes of his countrymen. Adding that he was born into a landowner's family, and his relatives were well-known figures in the four villages.
This kind of young master who could not touch the spring water with his fingers, let alone chop firewood himself, even he felt that the price had fallen. Today, Zhou Tong found out that he was being punished as a volunteer to apologize to his fellow villagers, and this truly took his life.
Huang Liu had already been busy for more than four hours, lifting firewood, chopping firewood, carrying water, feeding every household, all these things were piled on his shoulders. You want to be lazy? There was no door, and a large group of wild children were watching him. It was impossible to sit down and even breathe.
It was already past lunchtime, and Scholar Huang had only drunk two bowls of porridge in the morning.
How could they have expected that Xiao Letian was so ruthless, ordering them to not give him food after they finished their work? Huang Liu had once stolen a piece of meat, and in the end, the child soldiers who had done their duty were dug out from their mouths once again.
Good God, when that dirty hand full of cow dung was stuffed into Huang Liu's mouth, it was so disgusting that he vomited out the food he ate the other night. This time, Huang Liu was even hungrier than usual.
Just as Huang Liu was in a daze, struggling against the willow tree's roots, Xiao Letian's bodyguard was talking to a group of kids in a corner behind him.
Not long later, a child came back with a large bowl of beef soup. Inside, there was even a large piece of beef floating in the air.
At first, the surrounding people thought that the children were going to drink it, but they never expected that the children would sneeze around the beef broth. Some children even had their noses cleared and flew into the bowl. This was too disgusting, the two drinking bailiffs almost vomited.
What was even more inconceivable was that the devilish brat in the lead actually gave Huang Liu the bowl of beef soup that had been added with ingredients. Huang Liu was lying on his stomach with his chest close to his back. His eyes were filled with tears and his nose suddenly smelled a strong fragrance of beef and coriander, focusing on a piece of beef.
”Scholar Huang, you are quite hardworking when it comes to chopping firewood. We can't mistreat large animal either, this bowl of meat is for you to eat …”
”Thank you, thank you …” Huang Liu was so touched that she was about to cry. Squatting on the ground, she didn't even use her chopsticks to hold the bowl and start drinking. The beef was stewed until it was rotten, and there were even potato eggs inside. A thick layer of oil floated on top of the broth, and the smell of coriander entered his nose.
Huang Liu was eating so much that he even licked the bottom of the bowl clean after a while. It could be seen how hungry this young master was.
After eating his fill and sweating profusely, Huang Liu finally regained his spirit and started to curse in his heart.
”Damned Xiao Letian, don't you dare be arrogant. There will be a day when you cry. And Zhou Mingkui, you are just a dog of Xiao Letian, isn't it just giving you some silver? Wasn't it Jiu Shuai who threatened you before? You actually still want to leave with Xiao Letian? ”Just wait till you lose your official's head …”
”And this group of damned bumpkins, I'll play with you all slowly. I have plenty of time to take care of you all, but this poor man dares to fight with me. ”And that good-for-nothing steward, she can't even do something as insignificant as setting a fire, and she still dares to betray the young master in the yamen. You won't feel any better just waiting …”
While he was still in a daze, the group of devilish children surrounded him once again. ”Work, work, do not be lazy …” large animal split firewood quickly, support them... ”
Heavens! The earth! This was truly an insult to the refined, an insult to the refined! Huang Liu's eyes brimmed with hot tears, the viciousness in his heart increased by another three points.
Xiao Letian, who had eaten his fill, looked at Huang Liu, who was on the verge of collapse. He laughed in his heart, ”Foolish brat, just play slowly. With your little body, if you don't have a fever tonight, I'll tell you your surname. F * ck! ”This lord doesn't even use a blade when killing …”
After working busily for the entire morning, Xiao Letian had more or less finished playing his part. The grudges and misunderstandings towards him from the three villager's hearts were completely resolved. Although they did not take out their land deeds to ask Xiao Letian to buy them, their success was not too far away.
”Scholar Huang, your skill at chopping firewood is too poor. You need to practice more!” Xiao Letian taunted him, then turned and left.
Huang Liu's eyes were about to spew fire, his murderous gaze was locked onto Xiao Letian, the sound of his teeth chomping could be heard, just as he was about to open his mouth to retort, his nose suddenly started to itch and sneeze three times, scaring everyone around him away.
Huang Liu really caught a cold, on the same night at home he started to have a fever, when the next morning he was already unable to get out of bed. The two guards saw that there was nothing they could do, they took the 10 taels of silver from Huang Liu's wife and went out to drink.
”I'll take your life... I want your life... ”I'll kill you, I'll kill you all …” Huang Liu's mouth was full of nonsense, she was so scared that her entire family was going crazy, inviting doctors everywhere, even British doctor Ba Ke had to pay a huge sum of money to come over.
When Ba Ke looked at Huang Liu, he knew that the problem was serious. This kind of weak scholar's resistance was already very weak.
Ba Ke had also heard of the feud between Huang Liu and the doctor, but he was an ethical doctor, all the patients in his eyes were the same, he did not hide anything from Huang Liu, but even so, Huang Liu's condition was still very difficult to resolve.
