Chapter 74: Is he my cousin?
"I'm not going. You guys go." Zhao Yan said.
Zhao Xun and Ge Peng, with their respective female companions, turned back and asked Tianshui, "Are you going?"
Tianshui shook her head. She had come here to perform, and now that the young master didn't like her, she naturally had no interest in doing anything else.
The remaining dozen or so people on the boat did not go either, and returned to their cabins to rest.
So Zhao Xun and Ge Peng took Hongying and Lubai ashore. After the boatman docked the boat, he took a nap alone.
For a moment, the air became quiet. Zhao Yan didn't care whether the boat was moving or where it was. He sat alone on the deck, watching the sky and the water.
Not long after, a noise came from deep in the reeds on the shore.
The countryside was quiet, and the sound was loud. Anfu listened for a long time and asked, "Sir, this seems to be the voice of the Fourth Young Master."
Zhao Yan also listened attentively, and sure enough, it was Zhao Xun and Ge Peng.
Zhao Xun was a troublemaker at home, and this time, his fourth sister-in-law followed him out, fearing he might mess up. Unexpectedly, he separated her from him and started messing around with Ge Peng. Now, the entire pleasure boat is filled with singing girls and dancing girls, and there are even a few gamblers upstairs. He's truly arrogant!
Zhao Yan was afraid that he would really cause trouble, so he said, "I'll go take a look, you guys wait here."
Tianshui and Anfu had nothing to do, so they also agreed to follow.
The three of them followed the sound and saw a small path in a dense reed marsh. It was made entirely of wooden blocks and should have been built by local people.
Zhao Xun and Ge Peng were there, and the three of them hurried over. At this moment, a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old emerged from the reeds, holding a long snake in his hand. The young man's face was full of anger, and he threw the snake at Zhao Xun, "Yin Zi, bite him!"
When the man next to him saw it, he immediately shouted, "Ji'an!" and quickly picked up the snake and threw it into the reed marsh.
Zhao Xun was so frightened that his face turned pale. He dared not move at all, for fear that if he moved, his blood would flow faster and he would die immediately.
Zhao Yan was so anxious that he immediately went forward to check. He saw a small tooth mark on the calf. Zhao Yan's face immediately changed. "Don't move. Squeeze the poisonous blood out immediately!"
After saying that, he immediately squatted down to squeeze the wound. Zhao Xun was bitten by a snake and was now panicking. Worried about the poison, he immediately grabbed Zhao Yan and said angrily, "Brother, it's them, beat them to death quickly. If anything happens to me, they must be buried with me!"
Ge Peng also added fuel to the fire, "Yes, it's them."
The man standing by was also filled with anger. After the young man came over, he said, "This snake is not poisonous. Don't worry about it. Just go back and drink a few bowls of mung bean soup!"
He added, "If it weren't for you shameless people coming to my reed marsh to steal chickens and ducks, not only crushing my fish fry to death, but also trying to do something dirty here, would we have released the snake? Bah, you are such a poor boy!"
The man was clearly not good at swearing. He looked furious, but couldn't find anything more insulting to say. The young man beside him chided him, "That's right. He looks respectable, but he's such a shameless person. Do you know how many seedlings he's trampled on in our garden? He even stole three of our chickens. What a thief!"
Zhao Xun came back to his senses after hearing that there was no poison. He was furious and annoyed and immediately started to curse, "Who are you calling uneducated, a scoundrel, and a thief?"
The young man said, "I'm talking about you, thief! Thief! You have no manners, and you're hanging out with a bitch in broad daylight!"
The young man was obviously more articulate than the men. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Xun was furious. Zhao Xun cursed, "I'll beat you to death, you unruly fellow! You even called me uneducated. Do you know who my parents are?" He turned to look at Zhao Yan with red eyes, "Brother, did you hear me? Quick, take this reckless fellow back. I'm going to whip him dozens of times!"
Zhao Yan was relieved to see that he was alright and asked, "What did you do in the reed marsh?"
Zhao Xun refused to admit it and said, "I just wanted to catch a couple of chickens, and we were planning to pay them. Who knew they would be so crazy that they would release snakes to bite people as soon as they came out!"
Zhao Yan looked behind him and saw a large area of reeds covered with beds neatly laid out. He and Ge Peng were bringing a woman with them, so it seemed that they were not up to any good.
He walked forward for a while and saw several chickens lying on rows of wooden blocks. All of them had been bled. Looking further ahead, he saw a mud brick house. In front of the door hung a plaque with the words "Yu Family" written in large letters.
Zhao Yan was afraid that he had read it wrong, so he looked at it carefully for a while. It was indeed written "Yu Family", but the person who wrote it was young and the handwriting was a little crooked.
When he just came over, he noticed that the man looked familiar. After matching a few words, he understood that this was Yu Huatang's cousin, and also his cousin.
From their marriage to their divorce and back to now, he had never spoken to his cousin. He had only met him once, at their wedding, and he had no memory of that time. He had never been to his cousin's house before, and this first time was because of a quarrel between the two.
He immediately understood that the young man must be her nephew.
At this time, Zhao Xun's voice came from behind, "Third brother, what are you doing in the front? Come and catch these two villains. I want to beat them severely!"
The man was furious when he heard him yelling like that. "What are you yelling about? That snake isn't poisonous. Not only did you steal chickens and dogs, but you also brought this kind of person into my front yard. Even if you call an official, you're still wrong!"
"You said it's not poisonous, so it's not poisonous. This little beast just let a snake bite me. Later, I will also use a poisonous snake to bite him. I'll just give him an antidote beforehand. I will make him pay for his blood with blood!" Zhao Xun was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he said viciously.
Zhao Yan also came over and scolded him, "Alright, don't you think what you did is shameful enough? Since this snake is not poisonous, you will have to compensate them for the chicken."
Zhao Xun couldn't believe that Zhao Yan actually helped outsiders, and his brother Ge Peng was here, and there were even a few girls here. He lost face for a moment and shouted, "What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything. It's just two chickens. I'll compensate you now." After that, he took out the money and threw it at the two men.
Before Zhao Yan could stop him, the young man immediately jumped up and started punching him. Although Zhao Xun was taller than him, he was not as ruthless. He was hit twice in a short time and his face was bruised.
Zhao Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Anfu, hurry, pull away." He also dragged Zhao Xun back. When the two looked at each other like fighting beasts, Zhao Yan finally couldn't help but scold, "Alright, go back quickly, do you still think you are right?"
This is the countryside and the noise can be heard loudly. He Lingfei was originally taking a nap and was woken up and came over. She was also panicked when she saw the situation.
The villagers, who had been resting on the ridges of the fields, now gathered around and asked Yu Hui what had happened.
