We're here
The wine was left there to heat, and then the soup base was prepared. The ginger slices were fried until fragrant, and the chopped pork belly was added and stir-fried. When the meat changed color, sauerkraut was added and stir-fried evenly. The aroma of the sauerkraut made the mouth water, and the chef couldn't help but smack his lips.
Add tofu cubes, salt, soy sauce and other seasonings, and add the freshly boiled hot water to cover all the dishes.
Next, just wait for the water to boil.
He Yingchun first used the fried meatballs to exchange for a wave of points. When the pot was ready, she would exchange for another wave. How wonderful!
The fire burned brightly, and soon the water boiled, making a gurgling sound.
Remove a few more pieces of firewood and simmer over low heat.
At this time, the aroma coming from the pot becomes more and more tempting, first a light sour taste, followed by a strong meaty aroma.
The cook swallowed hard and said stubbornly, "Oh, I thought it was something else. It's just pickled cabbage and meat stew with some meatballs. Who can't make it?"
He Yingchun ignored him mumbling, opened the pot, and fried the meatballs in. The milky white soup and the golden meatballs looked particularly tempting.
She took a sip of the soup, which was smooth, warm and refreshing, and delicious.
I quickly took it out and put it in a basin, covered it with a lid to prevent it from getting cold. There was still some sauerkraut and meat left in the pot, so I added hot water and prepared to cook the slices.
At this time, Wang Kui and Chen Rongxin came over to get the dishes. Wang Kui couldn't help it any longer, so he grabbed a meatball and put it in his mouth. It was so hot that he screamed in pain.
Wang Kui held a wine jug in each hand and chewed a meatball in his mouth.
Chen Rongxin carried the dishes and said, "Bring the noodles up in a moment!"
"Okay!"
Please,
He Yingchun looked at the backs of the two men and her eyes fell on Wang Kui. Tonight is your last meal!
In the evening, the prisoners ate noodle soup together. The soup base was made of meat, so there was finally some meat in it.
“Bulu, bald, bald!!”
“Delicious….Tulu….So delicious!!”
The soup is clear and translucent, the noodles are plump, soft and chewy, and the taste is mellow and delicious.
The prisoners all lowered their heads and ate voraciously, as if they had not eaten at all.
The yamen runners could actually taste the sauerkraut meatball hotpot, a bite of meat, and a sip of wine with peanuts. Their life was even more comfortable than in Beijing.
“Tsk tsk, so comfortable!!!”
"Come on! Keep drinking!"
He Yingchun slurped the noodle soup and ate slowly, saying to herself, "Drink, drink. The more you drink, the better. The drunker you get, the better."
Finally it was time to go to bed. The yamen runners were all drunk and went to rest.
In the darkness, He Yingchun was more awake than ever. When everything around them was quiet, they walked out one after another.
Wang Kui staggered up from the bed and staggered towards the toilet.
"Damn it!" He staggered, his movements swaying, his eyes closed, and cursed that the toilet was too far away.
Unable to bear it any longer, he untied his belt against the wall.
"Uh-huh!"
Before he could react, he felt a heavy blow on the back of his head. Slowly, his vision became blurred and he became more and more dizzy. Everything in front of him became blurry. With the sound of "bang!", Wang Kui lost consciousness.
"Puff!" Wang Kui was awakened by the water.
He was tied up tightly. He Yingchun and four others stood there, some holding sticks and some holding daggers, staring at him.
"You...what are you going to do!!!" He looked carefully and recognized the criminal, and immediately started cursing.
"Are you guys planning a rebellion?! Untie me now!!"
"Did you kill the girl who died at Ba County Post Station?" He Yingchun asked.
"What...what girl? Untie me quickly! Otherwise I'll make you suffer!" Wang Kui stuttered, then stiffened his neck and asked them to untie him.
"Do you want to die? Untie me!" His voice gradually became louder, and Li Bin directly stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth to make him shut up.
Wen Jingzhao made a deep cut on his arm. In an instant, yellow liquid flowed out from under Wang Kui's body, and a fishy smell came out.
"Can you answer the questions quietly now?" Wen Jingzhao waved the dagger.
Wang Kui nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, yeah!"
"At Ba County Post Station, a girl died in the yard. Did you kill her?" After He Yingchun asked, Li Bin pulled away the cloth.
"Help!" Wang Kui shouted for help, but was blocked by Li Bin as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Pang" another cut was made under his neck, and blood flowed out uncontrollably.
Wen Jingzhao put the dagger to his face. "Now, can you tell me? It doesn't matter if you don't. There is a punishment called being cut into pieces. You are an official, so you should know more about it than me." He looked up at the sky, his face expressionless, and said coldly, "There is plenty of time tonight."
"Wuwu...I'm telling you!! I'm telling you!!!" Wang Kui knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face. "I really didn't mean it!!"
It's really him! He Yingchun clenched his fists, wishing he could rush up and kill this scumbag!
He recalled with tears in his eyes,
"That night, I was drunk and saw a woman in the yard. I thought she was my lover waiting for me, so I went up to her and pushed her to the ground. I kissed her for a long time, but she refused. I took a closer look and realized I had the wrong person, but my pants were already half off!!"
He glanced at Wen Jingzhao and Li Bin, and said angrily, "You are men too! After that, who can resist? I just stripped her clothes off, but she still refused. I immediately got angry and grabbed her neck. Who knows! I didn't use much force, how could she die?"
Wang Kui bared his teeth, a look of confusion on his face. "I really didn't mean it! Please let me go! Please let me go!"
He had no regrets for his actions and treated human life as worthless.
He Yingchun was so angry that his entire body was shaking, his muscles trembling unconsciously. Kill him! ! ! He must be killed! ! !
She rushed forward and punched him hard in the face, causing her wrist to go numb from the shock.
"Fuck! You dare to hit me!!!" Wang Kui was beaten so hard that he saw stars and it took him a while to speak.
Seeing the angry expressions on their faces, he realized that his words of kindness were useless, so he sneered, "You're here to seek revenge on me for her? I tell you, if I die, you won't be able to live either!!"
He Yingchun slapped him again. Wang Kui was hit and couldn't fight back. He smiled sinisterly, "Hahaha, you want me dead? Even if I die, she can't come back to life! It's just that a stinky bitch died!"
This time, several people attacked simultaneously. Wang Kui went completely crazy and spat out blood. "But... the little girl tastes so good! It's so fucking exciting! "
Beast!!! This beast!!!
Li Bin stuffed the rag into his mouth angrily.
Fists hit Wang Kui's face and body again and again.
The four men attacked together, each punch was swift and fierce, filled with anger and hatred. Wang Kui's face was distorted, the whistling sound of fists, the dull thud of flesh colliding, his painful groans, all the sounds were drowned out by the smelly rag.
Mom pushed him to the ground, aimed between his legs, and stepped on it!
"Um!!!!!"
Wang Kui groaned in pain and curled up into a ball.
See? Twig,
Did you see that in heaven? We avenged you.
The next day,
Some prisoners got up early to go to the toilet. They pinched their noses as they went in. The wooden door made a creaking sound, which gave them goose bumps.
He held onto the wall and unbuttoned his pants.
"Um."
He relaxed his frown with relief, shook himself, and was about to pull up his trousers.
My sight is fixed on the pit.
"ah!!!!!!!!"
A body was fished out of a cesspool, but it was so smelly that no one approached it.
Zhao Wu carefully identified that it was Wang Kui. He discussed the situation with the other yamen runners in the same room and finally came to the conclusion that Wang Kui had drunk too much and when he got up to go to the toilet he slipped and fell headfirst into the pit and drowned.
The death of a yamen runner who was escorting an exiled prisoner was neither a big deal nor a small one.
Even though the prisoners keep calling "sir" and "master" all the time, to put it bluntly, these yamen runners who escort the prisoners are also the lowest level in the government, otherwise who would do this hard job.
The post station was located in an extremely remote place, and Zhao Wu did not want to cause any trouble, so he glanced at Wang Kui's body and buried it.
I don’t know when it started snowing again, the dancing and swirling snowflakes seemed to be seeing them off.
As if frightened by Wang Kui's death, no one dared to drink anymore, and He Yingchun was asked to cook less and less often. The original vitality was gone.
What followed was a long and dangerous journey, trekking through the vast wilderness, enduring the hardships of wind, snow, and hail.
Every day, I just keep on traveling, resting, traveling, and resting...
day to day.
The wind and sand were getting stronger and stronger, and every step she took felt extremely heavy and tiring. He Yingchun stopped several times, and Wen Jingzhao would pull her up again, while Li Bin and her mother followed silently beside her.
The sight is no longer filled with bare grasslands, monotonous snow scenes, and endless mountains and rivers.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A few crisp firecrackers sounded, He Yingchun raised his head, put one hand on his forehead, and looked into the distance.
Towering city walls, soldiers in armor, people entering and leaving the city,
There was a huge inscription of "Zhu Yi" on the top of the city wall, which made He Yingchun fascinated.
"We've arrived at Zhuyi!!"
"We're here! We're here! Finally!!"
"This is Zhuyi!! Ah!! We're here... woooo..."
Some people laughed heartily, some cried bitterly, and some, like He Yingchun, felt unbelievable and stared blankly at the city wall.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" There were several loud noises, and a few white lights flashed in the sky.
"It's firecrackers!! They're setting off firecrackers!!"
"We're here!! We're here!!!"
"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet!" The yamen runners took their whips and slapped the ground a few times. Finally, they had arrived. They were also infected by the joy and couldn't wait to rush into the city.
He Yingchun tugged at Wen Jingzhao's sleeve and said in a hoarse voice, "We're here."
Tears welled up in her eyes and she almost fell to her knees. It was finally here.
Wen Jingzhao stretched out his hands and held her tightly, a glimmer of joy flashing in his eyes, "Well, we're finally here."
His eyes fell on the city wall, and he kept rubbing the beads in his hands with a solemn expression.
