“Alright, alright, stop talking. Hurry up and leave this d.a.m.n place! If that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Cao catches us again, we won’t be lucky enough to meet a second Lord Hong.”
When they heard that, they hurriedly got up and ran towards the city gate.
However, at that very moment.
A person walked out of the corner of the alley and stared in the direction they had left for a long time. He secretly wiped the sweat off his forehead.
In the cold weather, he was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat. The murderous aura on those people was too strong. He was afraid that he would be discovered and killed.
!!
After catching his breath, he immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
However, he did not know that the people who just left had doubled back and saw his every move clearly.
“How was it? Did you like my performance?” Rooster patted Thirty Thousand’s shoulder and asked with a smile.
These people were the Mahjong Brothers!
Thirty Thousand rolled his eyes at him and silently moved away from this fool. He took out a drumstick wrapped in oil paper and started chewing on it.
The others ignored him.
Seeing their att.i.tude, Rooster snorted indignantly. “Don’t blame me for not telling you. I’ve thought it through. As long as I do what my master instructed me to do, I can ask for a reward and change this name.”
Did they really think that he liked the name “Rooster”? He had never heard of such a ridiculous name.
When the rest of the Mahjong Brothers heard this, they thought to themselves that this kid was really cunning. They looked at each other and clenched their fists to beat Rooster up.
Thirty Thousand was still chewing on his drumstick.
In the dark night, Rooster cried out in pain, “Hey, don’t hit my face!”
With the officials providing porridge, the snow that had been falling for two months showed signs of stopping. This made the commoners see hope of survival.
However, after waiting in line for hours and getting their hands on the porridge.
Everyone couldn’t stay calm anymore. Was this porridge or plain water? It couldn’t exactly be called porridge, but there were indeed a few grains of rice at the bottom of the bowl.
Some people thought it was better than nothing, so they drank it without saying a word.
However, there were also some people with bad tempers. They were hungry and cold to begin with. They had been queuing for hours, but the government was using this sorry excuse of a porridge as disaster relief? They immediately smashed their bowls and stood up.
Many people swore to seek justice.
However, the officials seemed to be prepared. As soon signs of discontent appeared, a bailiff went forward to restrain them.
After dealing with those who stood out, the others no longer had the guts to cause trouble.
After all, they wouldn’t be able to do anything if they died here.
“Furball!”
Shen Yijia’s roar suddenly sounded in the Song family’s courtyard.
Song Jingchen was sitting by the window and writing something. The sudden roar startled him and his hand jolted. The ink from his brush stained the paper, and his letter was destroyed just like that.
He rubbed his forehead helplessly and looked up.
Shen Yijia stood in the courtyard with one hand on her waist and the other holding a metal rope. She glared at Furball, who was lying on the ground.
Even the children who were squatting against the wall turned around curiously.
Furball buried its head in the snow timidly. Didn’t they always play like this in the past? This woman had personally thrown Furball into the pile of snow in the past.
Shen Yijia gritted her teeth in anger.
Seeing that the snow had stopped, she wanted to shovel the snow into a neat pile and clean the ground. This way, the children would not get wet while practicing martial arts.
She had just finished shoveling the snow.
However, when she turned around, Furball did a high jump and slammed into the pile of snow. The snow was scattered everywhere.
She had worked for nothing.
Shen Yijia clenched her fists and loosened them. After repeating this a few times, she finally restrained the strong desire to eat tiger meat stew.
“Don’t even think about eating meat for the next three days. You can eat gra.s.s instead,” she said fiercely. She scooped up the snow with her shovel and dumped it on Furball.
Furball seemed to be thinking about how cruel its master was.
Soon, Furball was buried tightly in the snow, leaving only its tail wagging in the air to show its dissatisfaction.
Song Jingchen held his forehead. This girl must be bored.
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms early. Shen Yijia was about to change into pajamas and go to bed when Song Jingchen stopped her. He took out a cloak from the cabinet and put it on her.
Shen Yijia looked up at the man standing in front of her in confusion.
Song Jingchen was usually in a wheelchair whenever he left their room.
“I’ll take you out to play.” Song Jingchen rubbed her head and put on the hood for her. Taking her hand, he led her outside.
“Are we going to steal food?” After thinking for a moment, Shen Yijia denied this possibility. There was no need to wear so much to steal food.
Thinking of another possibility, she tiptoed to Song Jingchen’s ear and asked in a low voice, “Are we going to do something bad?”
She thought that Song Jingchen would ignore her or say that she was thinking too much, but Song Jingchen suddenly stopped in his tracks and bent down to whisper in her ear. He imitated her and said seriously, “Yes.”
Shen Yijia was stunned for a moment. She felt her ears itch.
In the next moment, she screamed in her heart. “My husband is so cute!” she thought.
The two of them walked quickly. Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up when she saw Song Jingchen bring her straight to the village entrance. The further they walked, the greater the evil they could do!
As they pa.s.sed the fence, the night watchman dozed against it, wrapped in a quilt.
A wicked smile appeared on Shen Yijia’s face. She secretly rolled up a s...o...b..ll and threw it at the man’s collar. She pulled Song Jingchen and ran.
After running for a distance, she could still hear that person’s screams. Shen Yijia stopped and held her stomach to suppress her laughter.
Looking at her childish behavior, Song Jingchen was speechless. He really didn’t understand what was so funny.
“Where are we going to do bad things?” After laughing, Shen Yijia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Song Jingchen meekly.
She still had to be good in front of her beautiful husband.
Song Jingchen didn’t answer. He placed his thumb and index finger in his mouth and whistled.
Soon, the sound of hooves could be heard from afar.
Looking at the horse that had stopped in front of her, Shen Yijia was surprised. “Isn’t this our family’s horse? When did it come here?” she thought.
Song Jingchen didn’t wait for her to ask any more strange questions. He picked her up by the waist and placed her on the back of the horse.
He jumped behind Shen Yijia and wrapped his arms around her waist to pull the reins.
“If you’re tired, lean against me and rest for a while,” Song Jingchen said. After saying that, he waved his whip, and the sound of hooves broke the silence of the night again.
Shen Yijia was nestled in Song Jingchen’s arms. At first, she was sitting upright, but later on, she became sleepy. Moreover, the cold wind hurt her face.
