Chapter 14 A Demon King Who Rampages Heaven and Earth
"Also, communicate promptly if there are any problems. Don't try to bully the weak. After all, I'm in a bad mood right now, and my opinion might change next time I feel you've offended me." Although Lin Zhaozhao was smiling, it sent chills down Li Junsheng's spine. His legs went weak as he backed away, and the bamboo tube fell to the ground.
"How dare you? Aren't you afraid Lin Zhaozhao will smash your head in?" Only after Lin Zhaozhao left did Zhang Dandan dare to step forward to help Li Junsheng. His head had been hit hard, and his dazed thoughts were coming back to normal. His face was deathly pale.
“Brother, you’re really brave. Have you forgotten what kind of person Lin Zhaozhao used to be? She was a wild and unruly devil. Who wouldn’t be subdued by her? It was only after she married Li Jue that her temper calmed down.” At this point, Li Yunyun was a little angry at her son’s lack of self-control. “What do you think is so good about Li Jue that makes her so devoted to him, letting that old hag shit and pee on her head?”
“Don’t you think she’s heartless? That was a living, breathing human life. And don’t you find it strange that Lin Zhaozhao learned to shoot arrows?” Li Junsheng tried to make amends, but Li Yunyun scoffed.
"You sympathize with others, but they might want to kill you. I think it was too lenient to just break the arms and legs of the two people who survived yesterday. They wanted to kill people just because they coveted a little food. If such people live, they will definitely be a menace in the future. Don't you understand such a simple principle as cutting weeds at the root? I think you've wasted your time reading those Confucian classics."
"Let me give you a piece of advice, brother: go hunting with Dad more often in the future to see the hardships of life, so you won't be like a blank sheet of paper, making wild guesses."
"Also, it's not unusual for Lin Zhaozhao to know how to shoot arrows. She's been following her aunt up the mountain and down the field since she was little, and she learned how to make traps and hunt at a young age. Li Jue is a well-known hunter in Li Family Village. How could she not learn well from Li Jue? To be honest, brother, you need to reflect on yourself and look for the reasons within yourself."
On this point, Zhang Dandan wholeheartedly agreed, “Son, your sister is right. You really should go hunting with your father more often in the future, so that you won’t be scared into a useless pretty face at the sight of blood.”
Li Junsheng: ...
The discord between the younger generation was noticed by Old Mrs. Lin and Old Mrs. Li, who exchanged a knowing glance.
The resting place was by the river, and the riverbed was exposed. To fetch water, one had to step down the stone steps. Lin Fusheng first filled the water with enough water before rolling up his trousers and wading into the water to catch fish. This aroused the interest of the two boys, Li Yunhai and Li Yunzhou, who caught six or seven fish and were still not satisfied.
After cleaning the fish, fry it in a pan until golden brown, then add water to stew it. Li Xiujuan added soaked dried radish and dried cabbage. Lin Zhaozhao was afraid that the cooked fish would have a fishy smell, so she secretly added light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cooking wine for seasoning. She also took advantage of picking wild vegetables to pick shepherd's purse, lettuce, and scallions.
The seven fish were divided into two pots. One pot was covered with coarse grain steamed buns, and the other pot had Lin Zhaozhao add rice noodles and chili peppers. A large pot of rice was also cooked. As soon as the food was ready, everyone sat around the pot. Although it was the hottest time of day, and the fire was baking people like they were in a steamer, no one was willing to give up the delicious food. By the end of the meal, they were sweating profusely, and the fatigue from not sleeping all night was also dispelled.
A dozen or so people cooked three pots, and Zhang Dandan soaked the last bit of soup in vegetable dumplings and ate it all.
After eating, they felt sleepy, and the fatigue from not sleeping all night returned. Seeing this, Grandma Lin and Grandma Li called everyone to the shade of the tree.
The blazing sun cast dappled shadows through the lush foliage, a hot breeze swept by, and the cicadas chirped endlessly among the trees, adding fuel to the already restless heart.
“A lot happened last night. First, I ran into an old friend, then I acted impulsively and was targeted by a villain, which implicated Minghui and Minghuang. All of this was caused by us. We are sorry to you. I apologize to you verbally first.”
“There’s only one main road leading to Fu’an County. No matter how fast or slow we go, we’ll probably have to deal with the people from Linjia Village again. If something like this happens again, it might implicate you. I think it’s better if we separate now while it’s still not too late, to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
