Chapter 25: Cooperation & Retaliation

The gangster who was beaten thought that the person who beat him was Hua

Daniel, so not only did he not dare to fight back, but he also did not dare to

shout for help.

When Hua Zizhou was happy, he threw away the stick, turned around and left in

a hurry. He expected that this ** would definitely not dare to chase him,

but in fact the other party was curling up in the stinky ditch and humming.

Seeing Hua Zizhou approaching, Qu Qing and Jiang Hunter hurriedly lowered

their bodies and hid in the bushes motionless. When Hua Zizhou had stepped out

of the bushes, the two stood up from the bushes, looked at each other with

mixed feelings, and remained silent. He followed Hua Zizhou in a whisper.

Along the way, the two of them seemed to have a lot to say in their hearts,

but in the end they didn't say a word. When they arrived at the door of the

house, Jiang Orion patted Qu Qing on the shoulder and walked in first.

That action is like saying: Brother, take care!

Hua Zizhou felt a little strange when he saw that they came from outside.

Before he could ask, Qu Qing felt a little guilty and said, "I just went

outside with Brother Jiang to make it easier before you came back?"

Hua Zizhou was also a little guilty, and replied slightly dodgingly: "Ah,

yes."

After that, several people tacitly stopped mentioning this matter.

In the evening, Jiang Orion used the thatch and a quilt that Qu Qing had dried

over the past few days, and slept in the room next to him overnight.

The next day, a few adults got up early and started to deal with the wild

boar. They heated the water and scalded the pig's hair. The limbs and feet

were left to make ham. The meat of the pig was divided into pieces and

processed. The internal organs were boiled in a large pot on the fire, and the

fragrance wafted far away, and the two sleeping children were woken up by the

smell of meat.

Halfway through the process, the three found that the salt and soy sauce and

other seasonings at home were gone, and there was no such thing as onion,

ginger, and garlic. This made the boiled meat fragrant, but the taste was too

bland.

"This... what should I do? I don't know if anyone in the village sells salt.

It would be better if I could buy some other seasonings. I just have some

money in my hand." When Qu Qing was proposing with some distress, Jiang Orion

Said: "I know where there are seasonings, I feel that there will be a little

more stuff, do you want to follow me to get it?"

Hua Zizhou and Qu Qing looked at each other, wondering how he was going to get

the things he needed, and he nodded with confidence: "Go, we can still help

with some things, when will we leave?"

"Don't be in a hurry, no matter what you say, you have to eat your stomach

before you go." Jiang Hunter looked very leisurely.

So a few people used the remaining seasonings and cooked a pot of stewed meat

to eat. This extravagant act once made Hua Zizhou and Kitten feel like they

were in a dream. Qu Qing was used to seeing it. Realizing how extravagant pork

is in this day and age, it's not stressful to eat it.

Jiang Hunter saw it, and said, "You are my son's savior, that is, my savior,

to be honest, I am very grateful to you, I will be this son in my life, if I

don't have him, I really don't You know how to endure it. When all these

things in the village thought I was dead, you didn't have enough food for your

own family, and you were willing to adopt my son for his sincerity, so what's

the point of doing this? I hope you don't have any grudges."

Jiang Zhu kept nodding beside him when he heard the words. In fact, during the

few days he stayed in Qu Qing's house, he almost really thought that his

father was dead, and he gradually regarded this place as his home. Qu Qing and

the rest of the family treated him to him. Well, he saw it all.

"And I also heard from Brother Qu that you are in some difficulties right now.

The grain you plant will not be harvested until autumn. During this period,

there is no solution to your grain problem, right?"

Seeing that Qu Qing did not deny it, Jiang Orion continued: "Actually, I also

have something I want to ask you. Although I am a hunter, I do not worry about

food and clothing when the season is good, and I can even eat meat every day,

but if I am unlucky, When the season is bad, it is difficult to eat,

especially in winter.

So... I just thought that if you don't mind, the two of us can make do with

this. I'll help you to farm the fields if you're busy, and go hunting if

you're not busy. If the season is bad, I'll eat here with you. , but don't

worry, when I save enough money to buy two fields, I will definitely not

bother you, and I will build my own house next to it soon, and I won't disturb

you for too long. I hope you don't mind. "

Qu Qing agreed without hesitation. On the one hand, he liked Jiang Zhu, a good

boy, on the other hand, because most of the food and meat in the family

belonged to Jiang Orion. He can now be said to have embraced Jiang Orion. It's

too late to be grateful, how could I refuse.

Moreover, he found that when the Jiang family and his son appeared, they could

bring him luck. If he hadn't met them, Qu Qing would still not know if he

would be able to eat meat and survive the food crisis in the last month or

two.

In fact, they are each other's benefactors.

So things were so happily decided.

After a group of people had eaten and drank, they collectively patted their

stomachs with satisfaction, Jiang Orion wiped his mouth, stood up and said,

"When we're full, let's go for a walk in the village."

Qu Qing and Hua Zizhou looked at each other, and Qu Qing said, "Bring the two

little ones too?"

"Take it, and take them out to learn more. You can lend me the sickle." Jiang

Hunter picked up the sickle, and before Qu Qing agreed, he inserted the sickle

into the waistband of his trousers.

Qu Qing felt that something was wrong. Why did he bring a knife when he went

out for a walk in the morning?

Seeing that everyone else was following, Qu Qing had no choice but to follow.

On the way to the village, Jiang Hunter said earnestly to everyone: "I'm sorry

for my son, in the early days, I always wanted to get along well with the

villagers, to please them, and to give them meat from time to time, so that I

could be in the village. I have a foothold and integrated into this village,

but only now, I know that I was wrong, and if I want to gain a foothold, it is

useless just to please, and I can’t see people’s hearts without doing

anything.”

Jiang Zhu felt that his father was a little sad at this time, so he stepped

forward and took his hand: "Dad, it's alright, it's all over."

Jiang Hunter touched his son's head: "Son, Dad told you before that you have

to endure when you are bullied, otherwise you will make people in the village

dislike it. Now Dad tells you that Dad is wrong, and people are kind to

others. Bully, Ma Shan is being ridden, starting today, if someone slaps you,

you must pay it back ten times!"

Jiang Zhu said, "Are you going back with eighteen palms?"

Jiang Orion replied, "That's fine too."

Inexplicably, Qu Qing felt that this conversation was a little dangerous, but

he turned his head to see Hua Zizhou's face next to him, and he felt that he

probably wanted to hide.

The sun has just risen, and most of the people are still cooking breakfast.

Some of the industrious villagers have already gone to the ground. Jiang Orion

brought Qu Qing and his party into the village not long after they entered the

village, and soon aroused the attention of the villagers. Pay attention, many

people are holding bowls and eating noodles while standing on the road in the

village, looking at them curiously.

Jiang Hunter would greet people in the village cordially, saying that he had

hunted a pig, there was too much pork to eat, and he was going to sell some of

it. For ten pennies a pound, he could also use things to pay for it, such as

firewood, rice, oil, salt, and anything that could be used. It's all right. If

he really has nothing, he will build a house after a while, and if he can help

with three days of work, he can send a pound of meat.

When everyone in the village heard the words, the reaction was very strong,

and they all said ok, some people have already started to go home and figure

out what they can exchange for meat.

Some good things in the village asked him: "Jiang Hunter, your house was

robbed, don't you mind at all?"

Jiang Orion smiled and patted the knife on his waist and said, "Isn't this

just going to find someone to settle the account."

"My mother!" The onlookers exclaimed. After a few bites of the breakfast in

the bowl, they ran around excitedly, telling all the relatives, friends, and

children in the neighborhood that they could tell about this.

To say that the life of the people in the village is really boring, so when

such a thing happened, it easily detonated everyone's desire to watch a good

show.

Of course, not everyone is so idle. Some people still carry their hoes down to

the ground, and plan to come back at night to ask others about the follow-up.

It is also a coincidence that some family members are on their way to the

fields, and they happen to meet Aunt Hua's family. So he joked:

"Ms. Hua, you are about to be in a disaster, why are you still going to the

fields? You have done something immoral. Now Jiang Hunter is holding a knife

and going to your house to settle accounts. Why don't you go back and have a

look?"

Aunt Hua heard the words "Bah" and said: "You slaying a thousand knives, what

nonsense, what wicked things have I done? If you talk nonsense again, be

careful if you have a child."

The person who was scolded gave a "hey", his eyes were full of sympathy and

contempt, and there was no anger at all. He walked forward and muttered: "Good

and evil will eventually be rewarded, the way of heaven is good, look up, if

you don't believe it, who will the heaven forgive? People, maybe the home is

gone, and I still have the leisure to scold people here, maybe go back early,

at least I can save the pots and pans..." After saying that, he carried his

** without looking back and left. .

Although Aunt Hua was cursing people very loudly at this time, she actually

panicked in her heart. After he couldn't see the shadow of that person, he ran

to the house, thinking that his children were still at home, and his heart

almost felt Terrified to stop beating.

When she finally ran to the village, her house seemed to be fine, but there

was a family surrounded by people in the middle of the village.

Aunt Hua finally pulled the crowd apart and looked inside, and her heart was

suddenly cold when she saw it.

That house really robbed the home of one of the gangsters who had robbed Jiang

Hunter. Jiang Hunter was in it. If he didn't say a word, he would smash it

when he entered. People around saw that he had a knife on his waist, and none

of them dared to approach him. While crying and begging Jiang Orion to let him

go, the family was miserable.

The child who was pushed aside saw Aunt Hua, and just wanted to start coaxing,

but was stopped by Aunt Hua's vicious expression. Aunt Hua left in fright, and

hurried to find someone in the family for help \- she must not let her own

family Got smashed like this!

Qu Qing carefully guarded the two children on the side, and looked inside

again in shock and disbelief.

He found out that the people around him were more ruthless than each other,

Jiang Zhu who set fire, Hua Zizhou who beat people in the middle of the night,

Jiang Hunter who smashed people openly...

In the end, he picked up the now soft and cute kitten, and thought happily

that at last, you and Dad are of the same kind.
