Chapter 006: One lives, one dies

When he returned, Xia Chuqii was busy for a while, sweating profusely with his head covered, and his body felt much more relaxed.

After staring at him for a long time, Xia Chuqii reached into her bosom and gently touched the "little golden tiger" on his body, frowning as she asked, "Fool, do you want to eat meat?"

Oh. The fool, like an honest child, obediently leaned over.

Fan's pupils constricted, "My husband, he would never abandon me."

Regarding Fan's matter, the fool does not possess her level of crisis awareness, only feeling that they have done something wrong, constantly hanging their head and acting foolishly. After listening to her words, they responded with an "oh" and turned to go to Aunt San's room, where they fetched a piece of dark, greasy pancake and stuffed it into her hand

Big brother, stop hitting him, sister-in-law will buy you candy to eat soon

Who is Laozi for you to ask? I warn you, do not provoke me. Otherwise, I will have Scholar Lan abandon you

Do you listen to Aunt San's words, or do you listen to mine

I will do as you say

Alas, did he really kill her? Is he not afraid of facing legal consequences

You are talking nonsense! You rotten scoundrel, I will strangle you...

The fool obediently lifted Fan and quietly exited the house through the back door. Fortunately, these thatched cottages were standalone and located at the western end of the village by the bridge, far from the densely populated areas, so they went unnoticed.

Meat

Before her lay two paths, one of life and one of death

Hiss, my teeth...!

When Fan felt a sharp pain in her wrist, her eyes widened, and she felt as if she had become a different person.

Come, fool, do two things for me

At that moment, the wooden door, riddled with wormholes, creaked open with a "squeak"

The fool, perhaps very hungry, swallowed hard, took the bread she had bitten into, and devoured it ravenously, hardly chewing before it went down into his stomach. In the end, he wiped his mouth, rolled his eyes, swallowed with a gulp, and broke into a silly grin

Who cares about her man?

She only knows that the fool was brought here by her third aunt, Liu, from another place, and has lived here for over ten years. The third aunt has only mentioned that she brought the fool to beg for food, and has not spoken of their past. However, the fool never lies; he said that he had eaten very well when he was young, so that must be true

Yet, in this unfamiliar world, she felt a sense of powerlessness.

The fool has always been somewhat intimidated by Aunt San, but in the end, he still nodded his head

She felt a toothache and muttered irritably under her breath, unable to swallow it down. She placed the bun on the edge of the bed and fell into a daze on the wooden bed.

Fool, I will make sure you have meat to eat every day

In early summer, Xia Chuqi whispered a few words to him, but he merely stared at her in confusion. She had to explain it carefully twice more. Unexpectedly, by the time he fully understood, his large head was shaking like a rattle.

Childhood

You, you, why are you no longer stuttering? You still have so much strength, who are you?

A bold scheme surfaced in her mind, and she beckoned the big fool with her finger.

The First Dead End: If Fan wakes up and has her father as the county magistrate, both she and the big fool will be doomed

The first one is acceptable, the second one is not! If the grass knows, Aunt San will be angry with me...

Will not ? ! ''

In a state of helplessness, Xia Chuqii could only maintain a stern expression

At this point, Fan suddenly exclaimed in a ghostly manner, staring intently at her face.

"Shrew, are you looking for death?"

Oh, where can I find some meat to eat? The fool hasn't had any in a long time

Each household in the county is required to contribute money and grain, the clan leader said that it must be submitted by tomorrow

It is called a pancake, but it is merely a flatbread made from the wormwood and fine flour that Aunt San brought back, cooked in an iron pan without a trace of oil, just slightly more refined than the coarse food she had been eating for the past few days. Taking a bite, she finds it so hard that it makes her long for the big white steamed buns she used to throw into the military's slop bucket.

You eat, delicious pancakes

Grass, are you not eating anymore

I cannot eat

Xia Cao was taken aback

Fool, have you been eating these things since you were little

Damn!

Xia Chuqii secretly laughed coldly in her heart and leaned closer to her with a cunning smile

"Is that on your forehead? ... ... Wretch, you are a court criminal, aren't you? Is your stuttering also fake? No, I must tell my father ... ... "

Fool, go find something to eat

In this way

Reflecting on the past and associating it with the present, she could not help but feel a sense of sorrow

Ah! Big brother, spare me... Ah! There's been a murder... Help...'' Fan was beaten to the point of having a face covered in blood, crying like a pig.

The belly let out a discontented "gurgle," and the fool's hand was about to reach out from his throat.

The world has changed, yet human hearts remain unchanged. However, regardless of the state of human hearts, she must continue to live.

The fool pondered for a long time, furrowing his brow, "No, I had excellent food when I was young... then I started eating this."

On the seventh day of summer, I weighed that cake, and my teeth have all gone sore

Before Xiacao arrived, she had concealed the character "贱" on her forehead very well, and the villagers were unaware. However, when the Fan family was pulling at her, it just so happened that her bangs were brushed aside.

After examining Fan's carotid artery, Xia Chuqii finally felt relieved

Villain, you are a villain. Bullying me, I will strike you! I will kill you

What does it have to do with us that he came to the county

Grass, I hit her. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all right, it's all right...

Grass, the clan leader said, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is coming to the county, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his itinerary and intends to stay in the county for a few days

Xia Chuqii was having difficulty breathing and was cursing the Fan family in her heart for being insane

The fool worked in the fields for many years, growing tall and strong, with great strength. After a few punches, Fan lay on the ground, howling in pain and motionless. He paid no attention to Fan's life or death, retracting his fist and transforming into a pet seeking affection, tightly hugging Xia Chuqii, grinning widely as he comforted him in return

In early summer, Qi sneered, "You may not know yet? Scholar Lan has always been infatuated with me. Previously, he said he wanted to take me back. It was he who saved me from drowning when I was submerged in a pig cage. Our feelings for each other..."

Thinking of the red-braised pork that is marbled with fat and lean, tender yet not greasy, melting in the mouth with a sweet and soft flavor, Xia Chuqii couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling a long-lost hunger filling her heart, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Second Life Road: Let the Fan family forever close their mouths

Lowering his head, the fool from Lanzhou said in a deep voice, "I am not afraid, as long as you are not dead, I am not afraid of anything..."

"Fool! Stop it, you are going to kill her!" Seeing this situation, Xia Chuqii hurriedly intervened.

She cried pitifully, but the fool, as if he had eaten gunpowder, completely ignored her

A shrewd-looking Aunt San entered the room, placed the hoe in the corner, and cast a restless glance around. The fool, feeling guilty, lowered his head and did not dare to look up. Unexpectedly, Aunt San only inquired about Xia Chuqii's recovery and then proceeded to mention another matter.

Delicious, the pancakes are truly delicious

The person who came was indeed a fool. He had a weak character and had been bullied in the village for many years. Even after so many years since the Fan family married into the village, she had never seen him so angry. In his fright, he protected his large belly and began to wail loudly, calling out to heaven and earth.

At the beginning of summer, Qi Xin was contemplating a solution when suddenly a figure kicked open the door and rushed in. Without saying a word, he swung his fist and struck heavily at Fan's body.

Seeing him clearly terrified yet still insisting on protecting himself, Xia Chuqii felt a mix of amusement, anger, and warmth in her heart. However, upon seeing the miserable state of the Fan family after being beaten, she felt even more troubled about how to handle the aftermath

However, she had trained in the Red Thorn, and even if she fell gravely ill, she was not someone to be easily victimized. With all her strength, she grasped Fan's wrist and, in a hoarse voice, sternly whispered.

No! I will hit her, I will kill her! She is not a good person!

Everyone will choose the path of survival. Unfortunately, looking at the prominently protruding belly of the Fan family, she ultimately could not bring herself to be ruthless.
