Chapter 88 Yushan
Yushan a few days ago.
A group of villagers sat in the house, chatting and bragging, and warming themselves around the fire.
All the people in this house are brothers, and they all share the same wife.
So when they untied their belts, they always said to her, "Look, women out there are all monogamous, or many women serve one man."
"We brothers are here to serve you. You are enjoying yourself. Don't even think about running away."
But the cruel action has nothing to do with serving.
Now one person is complaining: "That woman is pregnant, and now I can't use her to my heart's content."
"We can only afford one woman."
He thought of something.
"I heard that the emperor can have 3,000 women. 3,000 women, can he use them all by himself?"
Then he asked the person sitting in front of him, "Brother, you have the widest knowledge. Do you know what the emperor's life is like?"
The villager gulped down a mouthful of water: "The emperor...what is the emperor's life like..."
He didn't know this either, but since no one knew, he started to imagine.
"The emperor must have used a golden hoe when farming."
"Golden Hog..."
“That’s a lot of money.”
"As expected of an emperor."
As the brothers echoed him, the eldest brother's story became smoother and smoother: "And I can eat meat often."
"You can eat meat once every two or three days."
The landlords in the county could only eat meat once every half a month, but the emperor should be able to eat meat once every two or three days.
In his poor knowledge, this was the happiest and most heavenly day he could imagine.
"Hiss~ This winter is really cold."
He picked up the battered kettle that was burning on the fire and poured water into the bowl that had several holes cut out.
I couldn't pour out more than two drops.
He threw the kettle to the ground angrily and cursed: "Where the hell is that woman!"
"Are you trying to kill us with thirst?"
A thin man next to him frowned and said, "Brother, don't do this."
He picked up the water bottle and patted it with a distressed look on his face. "This is the only water bottle we have at home. No matter how angry you are, you can't waste things."
No matter how thirsty these people were, they were too lazy to move to get water.
By noon, when it was time to eat, no one came to bring them food.
The skinny man who had just advised became anxious: "This bitch is really getting more and more outrageous. Not only did she fail to add water in time, but now she doesn't even send us food!"
But they would rather be hungry than move.
It was already afternoon when a pale-faced old woman hurried over with a pile of freshly steamed cakes.
As soon as she came in, someone yelled, "Are you dead? It takes so long to deliver a meal."
The woman explained in a panic: "No, I had a stomachache when I was in the kitchen, and the baby... the baby was miscarried."
She didn't even dare to complain, wondering why she never came and no one visited her.
A man came up and kicked her hard in the stomach.
"Having a baby is an excuse for you to cook late!"
"Won't you wait until we get our meal?"
The woman screamed, fell to the ground and didn't move.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing!"
The eldest brother looked at the woman lying on the ground with heartache, "We spent four taels of silver to buy this. It took us several years to save up money!"
"If you kick her to death, we'll have to save money to buy a new wife again."
"What should I do? I've already been beaten."
The boss put his hand to the tip of her nose to feel her breath, but maybe it was too weak so he didn't feel anything.
I could only sigh and say, "Forget it, just throw it to the back hill. This one is ugly now, so we can save money and buy a younger and prettier one."
As for seeing a doctor?
What disease do you want to see?
The money I spent on the medicine is enough to buy a new one.
When they dragged the man out, they also saw the daughter-in-law bought by Dayun's family next door.
This woman was strange. After she came, she didn't cry or make a fuss like the other women. Instead, she was very obedient and curious.
She even expressed surprise at having so many men and seemed so happy that she couldn't enjoy herself enough.
I guess he's a fool.
But the Dayun family is really lucky, they also wanted to buy such a stupid one.
It is so difficult to discipline those women who want to escape.
When she met a docile woman, the man from Dayun's family suddenly became interested and pretended to be a simple and honest farmer who wanted to find a wife, and treated her kindly.
They really look like a loving couple in a polyandrous family, as sweet as honey.
But before her, two women in their family had died.
When Dayun's wife saw the corpse on their cart, she ran into the house in fear.
She ran back to her husbands for comfort.
The men tried to comfort her: "Yanniu'er, you are different from those women. We won't treat you like this."
"You've seen how those people treat their wives, right? Do you know how good your man is to you?"
"Look how lucky you are."
Yan Niuer touched her slightly bulging belly. Although she was abducted, these brothers were very honest and treated her very kindly and sincerely.
Although she was forced to leave her original home, she could no longer choose to marry.
But she is also happy, right?
The woman leaned in their arms, confused.
On the other hand, the dead woman was carried away to the back mountain without even a straw mat to wrap her up in, or even a shovel to bury her. None of the people were too lazy to move.
She is not even worthy of being buried because they never treated her as a human being.
Yu Shi and his group walked up the mountain along the undeveloped mountain road.
Although they didn't know why His Majesty wanted to investigate such a small case, they just followed his orders.
The people clearing the way took daggers and long swords, swung their hands and cut off the vines and weeds in front of them, trying their best to clear a path.
Suddenly he noticed something was wrong in front of him. A patch of grass was strangely dented, and there were traces of someone walking by and trampling on the weeds.
He pulled aside the vines that blocked his view, was startled, and turned around and said, "Yu Shi, there is someone here."
Yu Shi was in the middle of the team and came forward upon hearing this.
A pale old woman was lying on the muddy ground, with blood stains on her thin pants.
He turned around and said in one direction: "Doctor, come and take a look."
The doctor came to examine the patient and sighed repeatedly: "Yu Shi, this woman suffered a heavy blow just after giving birth, and was blown by the cold weather and frozen ground."
"It's unlikely that they can be rescued."
Yu Shi only said: "Doctor, just do your best. Who knows, this person may be a witness."
The first thing they did was to collect evidence of Yushan’s kidnapping.
Your Majesty means that these people are not only kidnapping people, but also killing people.
It is best to get both the person and the prize, and be directly sentenced to execution.
