Chapter 990: Intercourse
Bai Erlang burst into tears, "I'm in this state and you're still scolding me!"
Manbao pressed his palm hard, Bai Erlang screamed and immediately became more energetic.
Manbao asked, "Who took you to gamble on football?"
Bai Erlang sobbed, "Everyone went. We just went to watch the polo, but a lot of people ended up placing bets. They asked me about it, and I thought it was interesting. Isn't it just guessing which team will win and which team will lose? I didn't bet much, so I just treated it as a game."
"How can you win two hundred taels without much money?" Manbao said angrily, "Uncle Shi from the county town, doesn't his family have money? At first he just wanted to have fun, but now he's sold his shop and his land, leaving only his house. Now he can only make a living by doing business outside. Look at the beggar in the village, he asked him to sell his wife and daughter. Isn't that miserable enough?"
Bai Erlang was stunned, "I, I..."
Bai Shan asked, "Did Zhang Jinghao take you to gamble?"
Bai Erlang thought carefully and shook his head, "Really? We all went to play together, and we bet together for fun."
"How did you win so much money?"
"I don't know. I only gambled four times, two in the morning and two in the afternoon, and I won them all. I only bet the twenty taels I had on me at first, but then I somehow kept winning more and more." Bai Erlang sobbed, "I really didn't intend to gamble. They say everyone in the capital, even the emperor, loves to bet on polo. It's a refined thing."
Bai Dalang, who had been standing at the door listening for a while, finally understood the reason. He rolled up his sleeves and walked in, his face cold as he asked, "Did you go to gamble on football?"
Bai Erlang looked up and looked at his elder brother with tears in his eyes.
Bai Dalang was merciless. He picked him up, pressed him on the legs and spanked him. Compared to spanking the palms, the fleshy buttocks obviously didn't hurt much, but Bai Erlang still screamed like a ghost.
Neither Bai Shan nor Man Bao stopped him.
Spanking doesn't hurt anyway.
Bai Dalang slapped his brother seven or eight times and stopped only when his hands hurt. Bai Erlang then lay on the bed and cried, not wanting to stay with his elder brother anymore.
Manbao bandaged his hand and said, "Let's go home."
Bai Dalang said, "Let him sleep here. Don't go over and upset the master again."
Bai Shan said, "Brother has to go to school tomorrow, so let him go back to his room and sleep. The teacher has already gone to bed, and as you know, the teacher is always generous. He has already punished him, so he won't beat him again for this matter."
Manbao nodded.
When Bai Erlang heard that the master had fallen asleep, he immediately got up and went back to his room.
Bai Shan supported him, Manbao carried the backpack, and the three of them went home together.
Bai Dalang's face turned ashen. He called Gao Song over and said, "Tomorrow, go ask around for a man named Zhang Jinghao."
He paused and said, "Starting tomorrow, you have to keep an eye on the Second Young Master. He is not allowed to hang around outside after school."
Gao Song quickly agreed.
Bai Erlang lay on the bed sobbing, feeling a little panicked just a moment ago. "Will the master beat me again tomorrow?"
Bai Shan said, "It depends on the situation. If you are really scared, why not get up early and go to school tomorrow to avoid the teacher? Then you can go to the teacher and apologize when you come back."
After hearing this idea, Bai Erlang felt a little relieved and fell asleep the next moment.
Even though he fell asleep, he still shook and hiccuped from time to time.
Bai Shan turned off the light and saw Gao Song coming back from next door. He waved to him and said, "You should sleep in his outer room tonight. See if he will be frightened. Also, be careful not to get a fever late at night."
Gao Song had no choice but to agree and cautiously went into the room to rest.
Bai Erlang had a nightmare at night. He cried for a long time in his dream, but he didn't have a fever. When he woke up the next day, he was fine except for his red and swollen eyes.
Manbao sliced the ginseng that Yin Huo had sent, weighed it, divided it into sections, and gave it to Aunt Rong along with the medicine bag, asking her to boil it and put the medicine juice into a bamboo tube.
After Bai Shan had breakfast, he put the sealed bamboo tube in his book basket and went out.
Mr. Zhuang looked around but didn't see Bai Erlang, so he asked, "Where's Bai Er?"
Bai Shan lowered his head guiltily and said, "Third Junior Brother knew he was wrong, so he went to school early in the morning."
It was quite early, and he hadn't even had breakfast. He got up, slapped his face with swollen eyes, and asked Gao Song to harness the carriage to go to school. He probably had breakfast outside.
Mr. Zhuang glanced at Bai Shan and Man Bao, snorted, and said, "Tell him to come back early this afternoon. I have something to say to him."
Bai Shan agreed.
Bai Shan went to school, and Man Bao immediately followed with a backpack.
Daji first sent Manbao to Jishidiang, and then sent Baishan to the Imperial College.
Bai Shan carried his school basket into the classroom. He looked around and saw Yin Huo. He put down his own school basket and took out a medicine bottle from it. He walked over and handed it to him, "Have you had breakfast?"
Yin Huo took it, touched it, and found it was still warm, so he nodded.
"Then drink it while it's hot," Bai Shan turned to leave, but halfway through he suddenly remembered and took out a paper-wrapped candy from his purse and placed it on his desk, saying, "Here, it's sweet."
Yin Huo looked up at him suspiciously, "Did Miss Zhou give it to me?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "This candy is mine."
Even if the candy was given by Manbao, it was for him to eat. It was his decision whether to pass it on or not.
Yin Huo glanced at him and took the candy.
The whole class had been watching this side quietly, and they were all shocked when they saw their interaction.
Goodbye Yin Huo opened the bamboo tube, and a bitter smell of medicine wafted out from it. Without thinking, he tested the temperature and swallowed the medicine with a normal expression.
Yin Huo drank the medicine, slowly put the lid back on, rinsed his mouth with the tea beside him, and then looked at the candy on the desk.
After thinking about it, he peeled off the paper and put the candy inside into his mouth.
Yin Huo ate a lot of candy when he was a child. After all, he had to take medicine since he was young, but this was the first time he ate such sweet candy.
Yin Huo was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and then he held the candy in his mouth and was reluctant to chew it.
He lowered his eyes to glance at the medicine bottle at hand, then stood up and handed it to Bai Shan.
Bai Shan took it.
Yin Huo paused for a long moment, then said awkwardly, "Thank you."
Bai Shan raised his eyes to look at him, "You're welcome. By the way, she said she would make you a medicine pack to help you sleep. Put it under your pillow later, it should help you sleep."
He glanced at the dark blue under his eyes. He used to think that it was because of his poor health, but now it seems that it was because of insomnia?
Bai Shan, who always fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, had occasionally experienced insomnia and knew that the feeling was very painful. But this person had been suffering from insomnia for many years, which was even more painful.
Yin Huo's chest rose and fell slightly, and his eyes were a little red. He blinked, then immediately lowered his head so that no one could see him. He just responded softly and returned to his seat.
The entire class had been watching silently, their mouths slightly open, their faces blank. "Is this... a reconciliation?"
"It doesn't look like it. Did Yin Huo want to cry again just now?"
"You don't cry like you're being bullied, you cry like you're moved?"
"You're not a girl, why are you crying so much?"
The next update will be around 4:00 PM
