Chapter 263: Dislike His Dirt
The person outside stopped talking and carried the table away. After a while, he carried a new table back and said with an apologetic smile, "At the moment, everything is not complete, and there are only so many vegetables and meats. I'll have to trouble Doctor Wu to use it for a while."
"The dishes that the chefs here can cook are not suitable for Doctor Wu's taste. Why don't you think about what to eat and see if the inn can make it?"
Although the post station had nothing to do with the Ministry of Works, the Wu family was extremely powerful and their network of relationships was complicated, and it was not something a small post station like theirs could afford to offend.
Moreover, this kind of person is a complete villain, narrow-minded, and vindictive, and you must obey him.
The disaster relief work had only been going on for a few months, and the postmaster felt that there was no need to suffer misfortune because of a small grievance.
"No need." He Yanxiu replied, "Master Wu is not hungry now. He will call you when he is hungry. You can go down first."
The postmaster bowed in response, but did not dare to leave.
Although he respected He Yanxiu more in his heart and He Yanxiu's official position was higher, He Yanxiu was a gentleman. A gentleman would not harm others and would forgive him for being forced to do something against his will at this time.
But Wu Xingyu is different. He is a villain with no bottom line, and the postmaster is even more afraid of him.
He Yanxiu added, "Master Wu and I have something important to discuss. You go out first."
Seeing that He Yanxiu's tone was getting impatient, and that Wu Xingyu, although looking unhappy, did not ask for mercy, he bowed lower and lower, "Yes, I will take my leave."
After saying that, he stepped back out of the door tremblingly and closed the door gently.
Wu Xingyu sneered, held up his chin, and looked at He Yanxiu with amusement, "Master He's words are still effective. Even the postmaster obeys his orders. However, since this postmaster can't understand the situation, it's useless to keep him. It's better for him to follow those postmen and gain some experience."
Most of the postmen at the border and on official roads were soldiers who had made mistakes. In peaceful areas like the Red Government that were almost unaffected by the war, post stations were used not only to deliver letters, but also to accommodate officials who were temporarily transferred from their posts, as well as officials from the capital who were sent to the local areas for inspection and assessment. The status of the jailers was higher than those at the border and on official roads. Most of them were good citizens and could be considered officials.
But the postmaster is an official after all. If he is demoted to a clerk, he will have no chance of being an official again in the future. Moreover, when managing a post station, he is bound to offend some people. When the tiger falls into the plain, his fate will be unimaginable.
Wu Xingyu did not drive the postmaster away completely, but instead tried every means to demote him to a postman. There is nothing more cruel than this.
He Yanxiu narrowed his eyes, "Doctor Wu, is it because the food doesn't suit your taste? Speaking of which, I recently got a new food that tastes wonderful and is hard to resist. Doctor Wu will definitely like it."
"Oh?" Wu Xingyu, who was originally slumped in the chair, straightened up and looked at He Yanxiu, "What is this food?"
Then he smiled and said, "Master He is so kind? Can I think that Master He is trying to curry favor with me?"
He Yanxiu did not answer, but just laughed, then reached out and pinched Wu Xingyu's chin with lightning speed, and then stuffed a pill into his mouth. Before Wu Xingyu could react, He Yanxiu pinched his throat, forcing him to swallow the pill into his stomach with a gulp.
After making sure that Wu Xingyu had indeed taken the pill, He Yanxiu let go of his hands and washed them again and again with the water in the wooden basin beside him, and finally washed his hands clean with a towel.
When He Yanxiu arrived here, he ordered someone to bring a basin of clean water. Wu Xingyu didn't know what he was going to do at first, but now it seems that he was disgusted by his dirtiness?
He Yanxiu had made plans from the beginning! Wu Xingyu felt that he was humiliated, his face full of anger, and he raised his fist and swung at He Yanxiu.
He Yanxiu moved to the side and dodged easily, saying quietly, "I advise Doctor Wu not to be so impatient. Otherwise, that pill would probably make Doctor Wu meet the ancestors of the Wu family early."
Wu Xingyu stopped moving quickly, his face pale, "What did you give me to eat?"
"Poison." He Yanxiu said lightly, "But this poison will not take effect within a short period of time, but it will remain in Doctor Wu's body for three months. If Doctor Wu can take the antidote during these three months, the poison will naturally be cured. But if he doesn't get the antidote, he will bleed from all seven orifices and die."
"During the poisoning period, if Doctor Wu has a bad temper and gets angry all the time, the poison will take effect earlier, so Doctor Wu should control his temper. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen to Doctor Wu."
"You..." After Wu Xingyu yelled, he thought of He Yanxiu's reminder that he should not get angry, and his face turned pale again. After a moment of panic, he smiled and said, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child who will be deceived by you?"
"If Doctor Wu doesn't believe me, why don't you try it yourself?" He Yanxiu said slowly, "Doctor Wu, try pressing the area two inches below the right side of your belly button to see if you feel it harden and hurt?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xingyu reached out and tried it.
When he realized that it was indeed painful as He Yanxiu said, his face turned pale again, "Antidote, give me the antidote quickly!"
He Yanxiu curled his lips and smiled, "Of course I have the antidote, but whether I can give it to Doctor Wu depends on my mood and Doctor Wu's performance."
Seeing He Yanxiu's sly smile, Wu Xingyu clenched his back teeth.
A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. How can he possibly listen to an old enemy?
He would rather die with blood coming out of all his orifices right now!
…
After He Yanxiu came out of Wu Xingyu's room, Xing'an came up to him with some uneasiness, "Second Master, are you alright?"
Xing'an had heard Wu Xingyu's roar several times outside just now, and was afraid that the tall and burly Wu Xingyu would cause He Yanxiu to suffer a loss.
He Yanxiu stopped and looked at Xing'an, "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to go and see if Doctor Su has returned?"
Xing'an, "..."
As expected, the second master only had Miss Su in his eyes! He simply ignored his concern! Damn it.
Xing'an clenched his fist and replied, "Doctor Su just came back and has already had dinner. But judging from his attitude, he will probably go to see Miss Su tomorrow morning."
"Yes." He Yanxiu nodded, "Go and call a few people to help carry the things later."
"What do you need to move?" Xing'an asked in surprise.
"I don't know what it is. Doctor Wu sent a lot of things, and I didn't look at them carefully. You can have someone carry them to the room and count them. If they can be used for disaster relief, use them. If they can't be used, put them in the post station. If they are useless, give them to whoever likes them."
When Xing'an heard this, his eyes widened.
