Chapter 32 I have something to ask for

"You're bullying us again! You keep bullying us mother and me, don't you? We can't live like this anymore! Woo woo..." Little Qin started howling at the top of her lungs.

"Bang!" He was hit on the back with a cane.

"If you want to cry, get away! You unlucky thing! You wake up and start crying, I'm not dead yet!" Old Mrs. Su felt it was unlucky.

"Woo!" Little Qin rubbed her shoulders and sobbed as she picked up the bamboo bowl.

Seeing that Xiao Qin was beaten, Su He didn't dare to complain and honestly took the last bowl of porridge.

Honey really works. I drank a big sip of it last night, and it not only relieved my hunger and soothed my stomach, but also healed the injuries in my mouth and throat.

The blisters on the lips are translucent and hurt like crazy when touched lightly.

Su He blew on the porridge and drank it carefully.

You can't be careless. It hurts so much when the warm porridge touches the blisters. I'm so weak from hunger that my hands are shaking.

Su Ying took a look and said nothing. If it were someone else, she would remind them to use a spoon and make one out of bamboo.

As for Suho, just bear with it slowly!

"Hiss!" Su He drank a little of the hot porridge, and most of it spilled on the blisters and lapels, causing him to shiver in pain.

Su Ying took a look, pretended not to hear, and continued eating her own food.

Su He snorted and looked at everyone. They all had indifferent expressions and no one showed any concern.

The cowardly father finished his drink in a few gulps and got up to go to work. His two brothers did the same, ignoring him and treating him like air.

"Hmph!" Su He was furious. Other families were united, but his family was not motivated and always sided with outsiders.

I felt that Su Ying was very special today. Upon closer inspection, I saw that she had tied trouser legs and her cuffs were rolled up, making her look more heroic than usual.

"Ugly!" Su He was so jealous that she was bubbling with jealousy.

Obviously, he is rounder and brighter than Su Ying, but when they stand together, Su Ying is always the most eye-catching.

Su He was so angry that his eyes were about to spit fire, and he wished he could tear Su Ying's outfit off.

Su Ying noticed the unfriendly look and looked up, only to see Su He staring at her.

"Tsk!" Su Ying sneered, rolled her eyes at Su He, handed the bowl to her Third Aunt, got up and went back to the house to pack her things.

"You! Hiss!" Su He was very unhappy after being given a cold look by Su Ying. He wanted to curse back, but his lips hurt so much when he moved them.

The village chief came with eighteen or nineteen young men, carrying homemade bows and arrows.

Seeing the rotten soil drying not far outside the yard, the village chief understood and was secretly happy.

"Hey, what is this for?" The young men were curious. What is the purpose of drying the soil?

"Are you ready, sir?" The village chief pretended not to hear and went into the yard to find Su Bucheng.

"Okay, are all the people here?" Su Bucheng came out with a backpack and a bamboo spear.

"Okay, come, let me introduce them to you! These are my Dalang and Erlang!" The village chief pointed at the two strong men leading the team.

One of them is Hu Zi’s father, the village chief’s second son, whom I met last night.

Yang Dalang and Erlang raised their hands and bowed to Su Bucheng, "Lord Su!"

"Greetings, gentlemen!" Su Bucheng returned the greeting.

"Da Lang, Er Lang, this is the first time for Su Langjun and his friends to go into the mountains. They have no experience and no weapons. You must protect them and don't get separated! They must come back safely!" The village chief warned his two sons.

"Yeah, we saved it!" Yang Dalang and Erlang said to their father.

"Are you all ready?" Su Ying and Su Boyan also came out carrying backpacks and holding bamboo spears.

"With this outfit and the bamboo spear, the girl doesn't look like she's going up the mountain, but more like a female general on the battlefield!" Yang Erlang laughed when he saw Su Ying's unique outfit.

"Are you going up the mountain like this?" Su Ying saw that everyone was dressed casually in farm clothes, with only a bow and arrow.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Is there anything wrong with going up the mountain like this all the time?

"What's the story behind this outfit of the young lady?" The village chief then noticed the special outfits of the three members of the Su family, and thought it was the young lady's idea again.

"Well, there's nothing special about it. It's just a bandage to keep away insects and snakes. It also makes walking easier and keeps your legs and feet from getting tired easily." Su Ying didn't want to spoil everyone's mood so early in the morning.

"You're such a thoughtful girl!" the village chief praised. "We've been in the mountains for over a decade, and we haven't thought of this yet."

"I didn't expect that. I should have reminded you earlier!" Su Ying said in annoyance.

"It's okay, we'll prepare like this next time!" Yang Erlang said.

"Isn't this how we dressed when we went hunting? Every time we went up the mountain, it was extremely inconvenient to run around in the mountains. I never thought of using this method!"

When they were exiled with their father, Yang Erlang was about the same age as Su Boyan. They spent their days in Chang'an City fighting cocks, running errands, and living a life of debauchery with the sons of the powerful.

Who would have thought that those born into a noble family would one day fall into the lower class?

The whole family, young and old, came to Lingnan. Many of them died of illness and exhaustion on the journey, and the rest were sick and dying.

He only managed to survive by selling books at low prices in exchange for medicinal herbs and food.

A bunch of young men, who had never farmed before, how could they understand farming? They couldn't even recognize a few wild vegetables, and refused to make friends with the locals, so they just lived in poverty in this mountain valley.

Fortunately, I still have the ability to hunt on horseback. I make my own bow and arrow and go up the mountain to hunt pheasants, rabbits, deer, etc., and I will not return empty-handed.

Nearly twenty years have passed, and the young man has transformed into a down-to-earth farmer. It has to be said that fate plays tricks on him.

"Village chief, we're leaving!" Su Bucheng said goodbye to the village chief.

"Go! Take care of each other and don't get separated! Be sure to come back safely!" The village chief shouted at the team that was walking away.

"I know!" everyone replied.

"Mr. Su, you walk in the middle of the team!" Yang Dalang arranged.

"Okay!" Su Bucheng readily followed suit and did not reject Yang Dalang's kindness.

We first went through the woods. When we dug the rotten soil outside, we only saw pine and fir trees. When we went deeper, we found that there were also many shrubs and vines.

Sure enough, there are kudzu everywhere here.

Su Ying looked at the kudzu leaves, which were forked pink kudzu leaves, and she was delighted.

Su Bucheng and Su Boyan looked back at Su Ying tacitly, with inquiring eyes. Su Ying smiled and nodded.

The three of them smiled knowingly.

Yang Erlang saw it and asked, "What do you think of this Kudzu, girl?"

Hu Zi also told him about the fern root powder and kudzu root powder last night. Seeing the expressions of the Su family, he felt that something interesting was going to happen.

"Okay!" Su Ying said frankly.

Hearing this, Yang Erlang had an idea in his mind and did not ask any more questions.

The others didn't think much about it. The girl said that this kudzu was good and must be used for weaving.

"Young Master, are you a student of Tai Academy?" As the conversation started, the atmosphere became lively and someone started talking.

"Yes!" Su Boyan replied.

"That's great!" Several people in the team looked at Su Boyan enviously.

They were once full of vigor and ambition, but unfortunately they did not cherish the good times and only cared about beauties and fine wines.

"Young Master..." someone stammered, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"My dear, is there something I can help you with?" Even if Su Boyan was dull, he could tell that he had something to ask for.

"I have a child at home who is at the age to learn to read and write. I wonder if you, little sir, can..." As soon as these words came out, the team stopped and everyone looked at Su Boyan eagerly.
