Chapter 13: Beat him and cry!
I bought rice, flour, oil, salt and sugar, and then went to the cloth shop to buy cloth for each family member.
Finally, I went to the market and bought some pig offal, four pig trotters and half a rack of ribs.
"Sister, why did you buy so much pork? We still have a lot of wild boar meat from yesterday." Yu Mancang asked this question out of curiosity, not blaming Yu Banxia.
Yu Banxia replied, "I have some use for it, it's not good to give away what I've eaten at home."
"So it's a gift for someone." Yu Mancang nodded.
The sister spent nearly two taels of silver on all this operation. In the past, the brother and sister would not have dared to think about it, but now that they have obtained two hundred taels, these two taels do not seem to be that much.
Besides, this money was earned by my sister, and she can spend it however she wants.
After buying the things, he sent them to Yu Bingsheng and said, "Sixth Grandpa, we bought a lot of things. Can you make an extra trip?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Bingsheng looked at Yu Banxia and asked.
"Please help us send these back first, and then come back. We also need to go to my eldest sister's house."
Yu Bingsheng looked at the items that were almost filling up the ox cart, and finally nodded: "Okay."
"Sixth Grandpa, please take this roast goose and eat it on the way. Sorry for bothering you to make an extra trip." Yu Banxia handed the roast goose that he had just bought from Wangyue Tower to Yu Bingsheng.
Then he took out another twenty cents and gave it to him. Yu Bingsheng took the roast goose but did not take any more money.
"That's enough. You're a sensible child now. Why are you still being polite?" Yu Bingsheng laughed, and Yu Banxia smiled embarrassedly.
Without being polite to him, he took the copper coins.
A few young men nearby saw this and exchanged glances with each other, and Yu Bingsheng drove away on the ox cart.
Yu Banxia also found a new ox cart, negotiated the price, and prepared to go to Xiaozhang Village.
Not long after leaving the town, we were stopped by the same young men.
The driver saw them and felt something was wrong: "It's Erniu and his gang. They are well-known for being scoundrels in this town."
"Dear guests, how come they are targeting you?"
There were obstacles on the road, and the ox cart could not pass temporarily, so it was forced to stop.
Yu Mancang quickly got out of the car and stood in front of the two sisters to prevent them from getting hurt.
When Erniu and the others saw that a lame man dared to act like a hero, they burst out laughing: "Haha, a lame man dares to act like a hero."
"Brothers, let him see how powerful we are."
"What are you doing, Erniu? This is the outskirts of town. If I shout, I can still attract the guards." The coachman shouted hurriedly.
Erniu glared at the driver and said angrily, "Old Li, since you know us, you should know that it's no good to anger us."
"I remember you have a little grandson who just turned two years old!"
"You!" Old Li instantly became deflated when he heard the other party's threat.
"You dead cripple, hand over the money honestly and I will spare your life!" Erniu shouted loudly.
Yu Banxia got out of the car, and Yu Mancang nervously grabbed her and shook his head at her.
Yu Banxia patted her third brother's hand comfortingly, then looked at Erniu and the others and clapped her hands: "Not bad, very punishing."
"You guys don't take the laws of Southern Jin seriously at all. Not only are you robbing people in broad daylight, you're also threatening to kill people?"
"Excuse me, how many lives do you have? Or, what do you rely on?"
Erniu frowned and looked at the girl in front of him carefully: "Oh, I didn't realize that a little girl like you knows the law?"
"I am not talented, but I know a little more than you." Yu Banxia sneered.
Erniu has begun to hesitate. It is impossible for an ordinary village girl to know the law. Could it be that she has hit a tough nut this time?
Is there anyone in this girl's family who has achieved fame or is an official?
Yu Banxia glanced at Erniu and the others with cold eyes and said, "Move the obstacles away. Don't block the road."
Erniu was furious, and anger surged in his heart: "I just don't believe it. You, a little girl, dare to yell at me."
"Go!" Erniu gave an order, and the other six people rushed towards them directly.
Old Li regretted his decision so much. Why did he take this order? Now he was getting into trouble.
Yu Banxia glanced at a branch beside the road, bent down to pick it up, injected some wood-related power into it, and waved at the person who was rushing over.
The man saw it was just a small branch and didn't take it seriously at all.
As a result, the branches whipped his body, causing him to cry out in pain: "Ah, it hurts, it hurts..."
When the others saw him like this, one of them laughed at him: "Goudan, are you going to make me laugh to death? It's just a small branch, ah..."
“Ouch, it hurts…”
Fortunately, no one passed by, otherwise people would have thought there were monkeys here.
Old Li couldn't believe his eyes. It was just an ordinary branch, and the little girl didn't do anything, so why were these people screaming?
Erniu's legs were hit and he fell to his knees on the ground screaming.
"What the hell did you use to hit me? It hurt so much."
Yu Banxia withdrew his wood-related ability and threw the branch in front of him. The idiot picked it up and hit the person closest to him.
The man screamed in fear, but the feeling of being whipped was almost the same as usual, it hurt, but not that much.
"What's going on?" Both the person being beaten and the one beating him were stunned.
Because the branch broke directly.
"You, you are a tree spirit, right?" Erniu suddenly asked in a naive tone.
Yu Banxia rolled her eyes and then said, "Haven't you ever heard of an internal martial arts master?"
"You, you are a martial arts master, lady, please spare our lives, we were wrong, we were wrong." Erniu's face wrinkled as soon as he heard it.
"What a fool! Quickly clean up the mess you made and don't block my way."
Following Yu Banxia's order, Erniu and the others stopped wailing and hurriedly cleared the obstacles on the ground.
Yu Banxia returned to the ox cart and sat down, making a gesture of invitation with an extremely respectful look.
Yu Banyue kept her mouth open, her eyes full of admiration.
Yu Banxia couldn't bear it, so she stepped forward and pressed her chin together: "Sister, even though you are wearing a veil, it's still not decent."
"Oh, okay." Yu Banyue came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly.
Yu Mancang also looked at her with admiration: "Sister, please teach me a few moves later. You were so amazing just now. It was like dancing, but so powerful."
Yu Banxia felt embarrassed too. She was simply using the wood-related ability to achieve such an effect.
But I can ask Xiaobai later if there is any good internal martial arts technique suitable for the third brother to practice.
"Yes, Master, your third brother is indeed a martial arts genius, but the skills are in the Heart Sutra Hall, and I'm afraid I can't get them out now."
"It's okay, we'll talk about it later." Yu Banxia comforted Xiaobai.
Xiaobai responded happily and then fell silent again.
Old Li was still in shock. Yu Banxia pulled his clothes and said, "Uncle, we can continue on our way."
