.The chin that is always slightly raised; the red lips that seem to be tilted but not tilted, and even when not smiling; the peach blossom eyes that look sideways at every turn and become brighter when angry, all look particularly cute.
Qin Ce's thin lips curled up involuntarily, and he strode towards the other party. Before he could get closer, he saw his face change slightly, and he frowned and stared at a group of children.
I saw a group of children surrounding a little beggar, chasing him with stones, and swearing loudly. Because they had been warned by Zhang Shulin in advance, the people in Zhangjia Village actually had more or less food, and their lives were better than those in several nearby villages.
We lived a comfortable life. When there was food, adults were reluctant to eat it and mostly fed it to their children. Therefore, the children in Zhangjia Village were not like the children in other villages, who were so skinny that they couldn't even walk. Instead, they were very lively.
But because the elders always talk about not having enough food to eat and about to starve to death, they have a special hatred for beggars who beg for food. They dare not bully the older ones, and they swarm around the little beggar when they see him.
After Zhang Shulin came, the life of the Zhang family became better and better. They could eat rice for every meal. His two younger sisters were dressed much more decently than other girls. They were often bullied by children of the same age.
The beggar was bullied, and he felt sympathy for the beggar. He called Zhang Jiarui to drive away a group of children, and handed over two rice cakes.
The little beggar thanked him profusely and limped away.
Zhou Yun Sheng watched all this in silence, and then waved to the village chief, "Tell the people in your village to hide in the mountains quickly, or a fatal disaster is coming."
The village chief was stunned. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a deep and hoarse voice coming from behind, "Why did Mr. Zhu say this?" It was Qin Ce who was walking over.
"Look at that child. He has strong muscles all over his body. Although he looks thin, he is actually very strong. It can be seen that he usually eats well and is not a precarious beggar. He was just surrounded by children. He was very organized when dodging, and he was very careful.
It's very stable, he must have practiced martial arts, and he has a dagger hidden in his leggings."
The village chief took a closer look and found that there was a slight bulge in the little beggar's leggings, and its shape should be a knife.
"A child disguised as a beggar came to your village with a sharp weapon in his arms. Why? The little girl just gave him rice cakes. Greed and cruelty flashed in his eyes, fearing that the comer was evil. I heard that Fuling County in the north
The disaster is a hundred times more serious than what we have here. Many people sell their children to become bandits and loot nearby villages. I am afraid that the child was sent by bandits to raid the area. You should quickly organize the villagers to go up the mountain to hide, so as not to die in an unknown manner.
.”
Zhou Yun Sheng had already known about the attack of rogue bandits in advance through Zhi Nao, but did not know the specific time period. Only when he saw the child did he realize that it might be within these few days. Fortunately, he dug one in the abandoned dry well of the Zhu family.
The huge cellar is used to store food. Unless the bandits dig deep into the ground, they will never find it.
The village chief was frightened. He was about to tell the villagers while wiping his sweat, but was called back by his boss, "Wait a minute, don't take too much food with you when you go up the mountain. At least leave some at home."
"Why? Is it easier for the bandits not to take away the food?" Qin Ce, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
Zhou Yun Sheng glared and scolded, "Are you a fool? Take all the food away and let the bandits run away in vain. How can they just let it go? If the entire mountain is leveled then we will arrest you and vent your anger! After all, food is important.
Life is more important, you can weigh it yourself!" After saying this, he glared fiercely again, threw up his sleeves and walked away.
His eyes are more beautiful when he is angry, Qin Ce couldn't help but think to himself, and then he called the three Zhang Jiarui brothers and sisters and took them back to pack their things. Although he had lost his memory, his survival instinct was still there. What Zhu Ziyu said was in his heart
She knew it all, but inexplicably wanted to tease him more and admire the arrogant look on his eyes when he widened his eyes. Even though he was called a fool, he felt a little happy in his heart.
Seeing that the boss sent all the servants away and asked them to take shelter, and then took the nurse, the personal maid and the wet nurse into the deep mountains and forests, the people in Zhangjiacun panicked and dragged their families to prepare for the move.
Under the strong dissuasion of the village chief and Xiao Hei, everyone finally left some food at home, but halfway through, many people regretted it, and all of them shouted to go back and get it.
The village chief was so noisy that he had to let them make their own decisions, and then fled to the top of the mountain with the peaceful group. Qin Ce led the six members of the Zhang family and parted ways with the villagers. These people were ignorant and timid.
I'm afraid I'll suffer a lot if I hide with them.
Qin Ce has been fighting at the border all year round, and his ability to survive in the wild is very strong. He soon found a very hidden cave. As soon as he lifted up the vines covering the entrance of the cave, a steel knife struck him. He ducked sideways and captured the intruder.
When he twisted his wrist, there was a snapping sound, his wrist was broken, and the steel knife fell to the ground.
"Don't do it, we know each other!" The familiar voice made Qin Ce immediately withdraw his murderous intent.
"It's my boss." Zhang Shulin's father and mother saw the person clearly and hurriedly came forward to salute. They also pulled several children over and pressed their heads hard to bow.
"No need, we are all running for our lives. It's important to do this." Zhou Yun Sheng led a few people into the cave and stared directly at Qin Ce, "This strong man, you broke the bones of my guard's hand.
, what should I do if I become disabled?”
"It's not broken, it's just dislocated. I'll help him reattach it." Qin Ce took the guard's wrist and broke it cleanly. The guard screamed, and then he was surprised to find that his wrist was healed again and he was flexible.
Zhou Yun Sheng snorted coldly before giving up.
Zhang Shulin saw that his father and mother were timid, weak and clumsy in speech, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to talk and introduce the family members to his boss one by one. He didn't know when the bandits would come and leave, and everyone would have to live together in the cave for several days.
God, it would be better to have a harmonious relationship, otherwise the Zhu family is so numerous that it would be terrible to drive them out to feed the wolves.
When he was introduced to Qin Ce, he didn't notice an embarrassed look flashing in the man's eyes. He didn't take it seriously before, but when he came to Zhu Ziyu, who was like an ice sculpture and a jade sculpture, Qin Ce felt that the name Xiao Hei was really inappropriate.
But he always kept his emotions introverted, so he only glanced at Zhou Yun Sheng quickly and looked away.
Zhang Shulin is a talkative person who talks endlessly as soon as he opens his mouth. Zhou Yun Sheng responded to every word. Seeing Zhang Jiarui cast a hateful look at him from time to time, he picked up a small branch and nodded at him, saying, "Long time ago
I want to ask, have I ever offended your family? One or two of them looked at me and wanted to eat me."
"How could such a thing happen..." Zhang Shulin was about to deny it, but Zhang Jiarui sneered and said, "If you cut off my Zhang family's livelihood, it would be a good thing for you to forget all about it in the blink of an eye!"
"How did I cut off your family's livelihood?" Zhou Yun Sheng looked over with squinted eyes.
"Didn't you steal my secret recipe for making preserved eggs?"
"Secret recipe for preserved eggs? Didn't you send it back a long time ago?" Zhou Yun Sheng frowned, his face full of confusion.
"Stop pretending, who doesn't know what kind of person you Zhu Ziyu is? The Li family and the Wang family only charge 40% of the rent, but your Zhu family charges 60% of the rent, forcing everyone to almost starve to death, and you still take money from wealthy people.
Taking away fish and meat from the villagers is totally unconscionable!" Zhang Jiarui became angrier as he spoke.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Didn't my young master change the rent to 30% a long time ago? Where did the 60% come from? You are blabbering!" Cui'er couldn't stand listening anymore and stood up with an angry look.
Chapter 45: A slap in the face to the wife of a time-traveling farming scholar
Zhang Jiarui was a scholar and did not argue with Cui Er. He calmed down his anger and sneered, "Everyone present knows who is talking nonsense."
"I'm sorry, I really don't know. I just took over the family business and didn't dare to make major changes. Therefore, the Zhu family's rent was charged 50% according to the rules set by my father for the first three years. Two months ago, I changed it to 30%.
Later, when things got tough, I simply waived it all. I still have the account book there to check. Since you said that, little brother, there must be some misunderstanding." Zhou Yun Sheng spoke slowly.
Zhang Jiarui said in a mocking tone, "There is no misunderstanding. Until yesterday, Zhu Laosi came to my house to press for rent. Sixty percent of the food was not less than ten percent."
After hearing these words, Zhou Yun Sheng's face turned gloomy and scary, and he looked straight at one of the young nurses. This nurse was none other than Zhu Laosi's biological son, Zhu Fushun. He originally wanted to hide back with his father in his hometown.
To show his loyalty, Zhu Laosi left him behind.
Ever since Zhu Ziyu took charge of the family, Mr. Zhu had always been greedy for the property of the Zhu family. He had raised Zhu Fushun to be a big, fat, fat man who looked more like a landlord's young master than Zhu Ziyu.
However, he looked like a pig on the outside, but was as timid as a mouse on the inside. He was glared at by Zhu Ziyu, and surrounded by several other guards. He put a steel knife on his neck, and instantly became as limp as mud. He knelt down, wiped his tears and kowtowed.
My tongue felt like it was tied up and I couldn't say anything clearly.
Zhou Yun Sheng pointed at him and said, "This is Zhu Laosi's son. I really don't know about the 60% rent. When the bandits retreat, I will take him to confront Zhu Laosi. I will definitely give the villagers a
Explain."
He didn't say much, but everyone present knew that there must be something fishy in this. Zhu Ziyu only got 30% of the rent, but Zhu Laosi took 60%. Where did the difference 30% go? The answer is self-evident.
Zhou Yun Sheng paused and then said, "Furthermore, the Zhu family only collected 50% of the rent even when my father was there, and never 60%. Of the 10% that was withheld, I will definitely take it away from anyone who eats it."
Let whoever spit it out return it to everyone."
He had a sinister expression and a cruel tone, which made Zhang Shulin believe him eight or nine times. Qin Ce looked at him deeply, then lowered his eyes and stared at the fire, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhang Jiarui has an extreme personality and it is difficult to change someone he has a bad feeling towards. He sneered, "Aren't you the one who has the final say on how much rent you charge? If you cause public dissatisfaction, you will push someone to take the blame for you. After all, he is your slave."
, you have the final say whether you live or die. Zhu Laosi has been working as a tiger for many years, and he certainly never thought that there would be a day when all the birds are gone. How sad."
Young man, you have told the truth. Zhou Yun Sheng praised Zhang Jiarui in his heart, but his expression was very gloomy. He said firmly, "I, Zhu Ziyu, consider myself not a good person, but I am not a bad person either. I can't do anything like the common people. I
I dare to swear to God, if I really instigate Zhu Laosi to exploit the villagers, I will be struck by thunder and die, and after death, I will go straight to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reincarnated!"
The ancients believed so much in fate that they even dared to swear such a poisonous oath. Zhang Jiarui had nothing to say. Cui'er and Lu were so angry that they burst into tears, wishing that the nursing home would kick these aggressive guys out.
Qin Ce suddenly broke off the arm-thick firewood in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't swear by it. I... we believe whatever you say." During the pause, he added the word 'we', which sounded like
It's quite unnatural.
Zhou Yun Sheng raised his eyelids and glanced at him, obviously feeling very unhappy.
Zhang Jiarui was even more unhappy than he was, and criticized, "Let's put aside the rent issue for now. Isn't it an indisputable fact that you stole my secret recipe?"
Zhou Yun Sheng had long been annoyed by his aggressiveness, and this time he spoke without any mercy, "I have a very sensitive sense of taste. I don't need to ask you for the secret recipe. I can understand the cooking method after eating it only once. Why ask Zhu Laosi to steal it again?"
, wouldn’t it be unnecessary? Zhu Laosi himself was greedy, so he did that bad thing in my name. He wanted to hand the prescription to me to take credit, but I refuted it and asked him to return it in time. If
He didn't return it, and it has nothing to do with me, Zhu Ziyu. Every injustice has its owner, and if you want to find trouble, don't come to me. To tell you the truth, I really don't like those preserved eggs, but they have a unique taste and appearance.
These are very harmful to the human body if eaten in excess, comparable to poison."
The amount of information in his words was so overwhelming that Zhang Jiarui didn't know which question to ask for a while. It took him a long time to shout with a red face, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can my preserved eggs be poisonous?"
"You don't know if it's poisonous?" Her beautiful peach blossom eyes looked straight at Zhang Shulin.
No way, the ancients also knew that you should not eat too much preserved eggs? Zhang Shulin felt guilty, and it showed on his face naturally. If Qin Ce felt something, his eyes were dark.
Zhang Jiarui looked at his brother and then at Zhou Yun Sheng, his already red face was almost bleeding.
Zhou Yun Sheng didn't want to make things easier for the Zhang family, so he continued, "Preserved eggs are made by mixing soda ash, lime, salt, and yellow dandelion powder in a certain proportion, plus mud and bran to wrap around the duck eggs, and pickle them after fifteen or six days. Huangdan powder
