Chapter 165 Who Are You?
With a "pu" sound, Cheng Ming spat out all the yellow mud that was stuffy in his throat, and the blocked air was finally exhaled.
Then No. 2 and the others came forward and cleared out all the yellow mud from his nose, and only then did Cheng Ming feel better.
Xiao Jin stretched out his hand and pinched his palm. Cheng Ming's elbow twitched, and then he woke up slowly.
"master……"
Seeing that he had woken up and was breathing better, Xiao Jin asked someone to bring a water bag to rinse the mud out of his mouth and nose.
Xiao Jin turned around and looked at the two people, "Did they hurt you?"
Cheng Ming looked at the two men with hatred in his eyes. If he had not been discovered in time, he would have been buried alive by them!
"Yes, they were lazy. I just said a few words to them, and they attacked me. If the master hadn't discovered it in time, I would have died."
"Master, please spare us, Master, please spare us. We were just confused for a moment. We won't dare to do it again."
"Yes, Master. We won't dare to do it again. Please give us a chance to reform."
When the two saw Xiao Jin looking at them, his deep black eyes made them feel cold all over. Their knees went weak and they begged for mercy!
Xiao Jin's dark eyes were so dark that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. "Number two, go down the slope and carry up two long wooden stakes."
After No. 2 responded, he took a few people to the bottom of the slope and carried up the wooden stakes that had been dug out from the slope.
Xiao Jin asked them to drive wooden stakes into the highest point of the slope. After the stakes were fixed, the two men were tied to the stakes.
He took out a whip-like rattan from his body and looked coldly at the two people who were trembling in despair.
"It is impossible to let you go. I will whip you ten times a day. If you can survive ten days, I will spare your life."
"Snap!" As soon as Xiao Jin finished speaking, the vine in his hand broke through the air and attacked, like a spirit snake coming out of a cave, biting the two men fiercely.
"ah!"
Screams echoed throughout the entire slope. Everyone was terrified at the scene before them. With this whip, the two men's skin was torn apart in an instant. They might not even survive three days, let alone ten days.
They knew that Xiao Jin was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. Now, all those who had evil intentions or wanted to be lazy would not dare to act rashly. It might be tiring, but it was better than being beaten to death!
Xiao Jin only hit him three times before stopping and handing the whip to Cheng Ming, "You do it."
Cheng Ming looked at the blood-stained vine with an unpleasant expression. He had been farming for so many years, but if he had not met Su Ying and her group on the way to exile, he would never have seen what real killing was.
He had fought before, but at heart he was still an honest man. Looking at the bright red blood still made him feel trembling and blinded.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiao Jin's voice was filled with coldness, "Are you planning to let go of these two people who want to kill you?"
Cheng Ming's face changed slightly, and he suddenly thought of the suffocation and despair when his mouth and nose were filled with mud. He gritted his teeth, took the cane, glared at the two of them angrily, and threw the cane out with a roar.
There was a "pop" sound, and the cry of pain rang out again.
Although Cheng Ming's strength is not as good as Xiao Jin's, the two of them are still strong enough.
After ten lashes, the two men were almost fainting from the pain, but just when they were about to faint, No. 2 and the others would splash water on them to wake them up, leaving them to endure the heart-wrenching pain.
When he packed up and went back at night, he begged Xiao Jin and the others not to tell Su Ying and the others what happened today. He didn't want to make them worry because of his incompetence, especially Jiang, who had taken care of him for several days without sleep because he was bitten by a poisonous snake. If she knew that he was almost killed this time, he didn't know how worried she would be.
"If you don't want your family to worry, then make yourself stronger. When they do their morning exercises on the 1st, you can follow them."
Seeing that Xiao Jin agreed, Cheng Ming quickly responded, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely practice well with you."
On the other side, Su Ying and the others packed up and returned home after finishing their work.
"Mother is back."
As soon as Su Ying entered the yard, the two little guys rushed over and threw themselves into her arms enthusiastically.
Su Ying picked them up, kissed their increasingly chubby little faces, put them down, and took out a bag of osmanthus candy from her body like a magic trick.
"Osmanthus candy, do you like it?"
When the two little kids saw that there was candy to eat, their eyes widened.
"I like it, Ling'er wants to eat candy."
Su Ying pinched her little face and said, "Take it and eat it with Brother Lin Sheng."
Dabao took the candy and nodded happily, "Okay." Then he picked up another piece of osmanthus candy and put it to Su Ying's mouth, "Mother, have some too."
Su Ying opened her mouth and took the candy in her mouth, "Mmm, so sweet, just like you guys."
When Erbao heard this, his face changed dramatically, "Mom, my brother and I are not sweet, you can't eat us...Brother, run, Mom is going to eat us!" Erbao pulled Dabao up, turned around and ran away.
Su Ying looked at the two kids running away and went upstairs laughing.
In the room on the second floor, Chu Yun was still writing furiously. The oil lamp in the room made his shadow very large.
Su Ying walked over and blocked the light in front of his desk.
Chu Yun raised his head and put down the pen in his hand.
Su Ying said: "The fields are now empty. Tomorrow I will ask him to take people up the mountain to cut down trees and start building houses in the middle of the four districts."
Chu Yun said nothing and waited for what was to come.
Su Ying continued, "I will build the shop I mentioned earlier on this vacant land. Behind the shop, I will build a school building and a clinic. Today, I have asked people to count the number of children of school age in each district. After the school building is built, I will be the acting principal, the person who manages the school building and teaches the children here to read and study."
A hint of surprise flashed across Chu Yun's eyes, as if he didn't expect Su Ying to have such a plan.
"You want the children here to study? They are descendants of rootless people. What good will it do them even if they can study and learn to read?" In fact, he didn't think so in his heart. He said this just because he was thinking from an ordinary person's perspective.
They can’t even get enough food to eat now, what’s the point of studying?
"Useless? When you became a rare type of person in the world, let alone being stateless, even if you were the most vicious person in the world, there would be people kneeling down to beg you to give you everything you wanted. Learning to read and write is to lay a foundation for these floating children to stand up. How can it be useless?"
Chu Yun could not hide his shock. He looked at Su Ying in front of him and once again fell into self-doubt in public.
Facts were placed before him again and again, but he just refused to believe that the person in front of him was the former Su Ying.
Chu Yun couldn't help but ask the question in his mind, "Who are you?"
