Chapter 77 I came to your house to be the boss
The river gurgles beside the reeds.
Du Bujin finished dealing with the cobra. When he took out the snake's gallbladder, he looked heartbroken and regretful. "Son, you pinched a snake, why did you use so much force? The snake's head exploded, and the venom sac was eaten away. It's a super-good thing, you know?"
Heartache.
It hurts so much that I bleed.
Tianbao blinked his eyes with a look of innocence and confusion.
It turns out that the snake's head cannot be pinched.
Next time she encounters a snake, she will pinch it somewhere else.
Su An, Su Wen, and Su Wu squatted in front of their sister in a row, their expressions serious and solemn, "Tian Bao, I know you're strong, but we had no idea you were so fast."
"How did you do that?"
"That snake ran faster than me! Tianbao, how did you catch it? Teach me, Third Brother!"
Tianbao couldn't answer the first two questions, so she reached out and grabbed it.
Tian Bao had something to say about the last question. She looked at her third brother and said, "You're weak."
Su Wu, “…”
He understands.
Tell it to me quietly next time.
Su Ansu Wen, "Hahahaha!"
By the river, Dubuwei collected the poison materials, washed his hands and walked back, "Tianbao is right, your third brother is not only weak, but also timid. Next time, don't catch snakes, catch crickets instead."
Su Wu's face turned pale.
The other two burst into laughter again.
The five of us had some fun and were about to go home when a tall and thin figure appeared at the other end of the riverside path.
In the sunlight, his face was thin and pointed, with sunken eye sockets and a bad complexion. He looked to be nearly fifty years old.
"Excuse me, old man, please wait a moment." Seeing the five people, young and old, preparing to leave the reed marsh, the man quickly stepped forward and bowed. "Excuse me, do you live in Tubei Mountain ahead? Do you know which family the Su family belongs to?"
Du Buqin threw the little sweet boy onto his neck, rolled his triangular eyes, and before he could open his mouth, the three brats interrupted him.
The three of them looked alert and asked, "Who are you? Why are you asking about the Su family?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm a relative of the Su family, here to visit."
The three little ones stopped talking, with unfriendly looks in their eyes.
They are young, but not stupid.
The only family in the exile area who would claim to be their relatives was the Su family in Tu Nan Mountain.
That family has come to our house twice, and each time they made my grandparents unhappy.
So the kids subconsciously hated and rejected the people from the Su family.
Upon hearing the other party's self-introduction, Du Buqin, who had been looking nonchalant, suddenly smiled and said in a gentle voice, "A relative of the Su family? Oh, are you from the Su family of Tu Nan Mountain?"
The man bowed again, "Yes, I am Su from the Su family—"
"That's easy, hahahaha!"
A hint of vigilance flashed in Su Liang's eyes, but it was too late. The next moment, he fell limply and lay on the ground with a thud.
I felt so weak that I couldn't even move a finger.
He opened his mouth to speak, but only a faint hum came out.
Su Liang suddenly looked at the old man, his pupils shrinking.
Su Xiangjia was lucky. After coming to the place of exile, he somehow met two capable people. He was the first one in the Su family to know about this.
At the foot of Tubei Mountain, an old man he had never met before knocked him down as soon as he learned of his identity... Connecting these dots, Su Liang immediately knew who he had met.
One of the backers of Su Xiang’s family is immune to poison!
Only the poison-proof can knock someone down silently.
And the reason he is like this now is that he was poisoned by the other party!
Du Buwei didn't care what the other party was thinking. He waved his hand and said, "Boys, I think this guy looks disgusting. Let's dress him up!"
The three kids opened their bright eyes wide and grinned, "Okay!"
Grandpa Du is going to take them to have fun again!
A moment later, Su Liang watched helplessly as the old man scooped up a bag of river mud from the riverbank in a cloth bag, smeared it all over his face, leaving only his eyes and nostrils exposed.
Su Liang was angry, "Hehehe, hehe!"
"Don't hum, why are you in such a hurry? It's not over yet." Du Buqin laughed, pulled off the gray hairband tied on Su Liang's head, grabbed his loose hair and tied it into a woman's bun.
As the old man worked, he asked his children, "This man, wearing ragged clothes, actually has the leisure to tie a hairband. He is a poor and particular person who loves beauty. What do you think of the bun that grandpa made for him?"
Su An ran over and broke off two reed flowers, then returned and inserted them into the man's bun, "Grandpa Du, this is more elegant!"
Su Wen's eyes lit up, and he also plucked two dogtail grasses from the roadside and put them in his bun, imitating her. "This is more elegant!"
Su Wu couldn't find anything else to do, so he spotted a small pebble on the side of the road and simply picked it up to decorate his bun. "That's the most elegant!"
Tianbao's face wrinkled, and his expression was like that of an old man. After a moment, he reached into his arms and rummaged around, took out a small purple flower and threw it on the man's head. After that, he slapped his chest twice with his little hands, demonstrating: I am the most particular!
The three boys were puzzled. When did their sister hide the flowers?
Du Buqin's pupils trembled when he saw the flower, and he snatched the flower away with a swift movement, "...Prodigal son!"
This is Gentiana macrophylla!
Use it as a flower?
Confiscated!
Being treated like a toy, Su Liang was furious, but he could do nothing but glare at the old man.
Du Buqin didn't even look at him. After playing, he washed his hands, walked back and wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes, kicked him into the reeds, and left with the four cubs.
From a distance, you can hear the old man talking to the child.
"Grandpa Du, if we leave him there, will he die?"
"Why would he die? The reed marsh is dry land, he won't drown. He'll be able to get up on his own in a short while. Grandpa Du is telling you, that man is no good. He came to your house hoping to be the boss, wanting your grandparents to serve him! And you're still soft-hearted? What a brat!"
The sound of conversation gradually faded away and disappeared.
Su Liang lay in the reed marsh, his breathing rising and falling violently, his nostrils flaring and expanding.
He had been an official in Beijing for twenty years, climbing from the bottom to the top, and had enjoyed countless flattery and admiration. Even though he later got into trouble and fell into disgrace, the arrogance he had developed as an official did not disappear. He just learned to be worldly-wise and smooth in the officialdom, and he was good at hiding his arrogance.
Now he is being treated like a toy, a tall and strong man is being dressed as a woman!
It was a great humiliation for Su Liang. He was not as angry as when he was whipped by a small officer during exile.
The sun gradually moved westward above the reeds, but its intensity did not decrease much. The sunlight that penetrated the gaps in the reeds combined with the scorching August heat quickly dried up the mud on his face, making his skin feel stuffy and itchy.
Time passed by little by little, and it was quiet outside the reed marsh, with no one passing by.
Over a long period of time, Su Liang gradually went from feeling humiliated to feeling anxious, desperate, and powerless.
It was not until the golden sun set in the west that he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the road.
Su Liang's eyes immediately widened, and he tried to call for help, "Hmph, humph, humph, humph, humph!"
The footsteps outside seemed to pause for a moment, then started again, approaching.
Joy surged in Su Liang's heart, and his desire to survive made him hum even louder.
Soon, the reeds covering the head were pushed aside, revealing a thin and mean-looking woman's face.
The woman's eyes moved around him, her eyes raised, her eyebrows raised high, "Oh, did someone trick you?"
