Chapter 485: Becoming a Hero
"What do you need? A dagger, a sword, or a younger brother? My younger brothers listen to me. They promised me that they will join me in doing good deeds in the future." Jiang Huanyu's eyes were bright, but his voice was much lower.
She was afraid that her grandmother would suddenly appear behind her again.
After she finished speaking, she looked back and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her grandmother sitting well in the chair.
"No, what is needed is martial arts. Without martial arts, how can you be a hero? How can you be a hero? I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death by the servants or thugs before you even get in. Those wealthy families have many ways to torture people in private. Do you know how to pull out the muscles and peel off the skin?
There are even more frightening things, which is to chop off the limbs, soak in a vat, gouge out the eyes, pull out the tongue, and only leave the two ears. After becoming a human pig, you can neither live nor die. It is really painful. These are all told to me by my brother Bujiu. He is very knowledgeable and what he says must be true."
Jiang Fubao brought up Meng Bujiu to scare Jiang Huanyu.
The credibility of this statement goes from zero to one hundred.
"Really? But, but I don't know martial arts." Jiang Huanyu swallowed.
He looked at Jiang Fubao with horror on his face.
"Yes, you wouldn't. Why would you go out into the world? I'm afraid you'll be dead as soon as you leave Lianshan Town. There are bandits outside. On the way back with my brother Bujiu, we saw several human bones. They must have been killed by bandits. We are lucky to have returned safely, otherwise I might have been among the skulls."
Jiang Fubao spoke with his throat pinched, and his voice became a little harsh.
Jiang Huanyu was so scared that she trembled.
"I, I won't go. I'll stay at home. I'm not going anywhere." Children are children. After being scared a few times, they completely give up the idea.
Jiang Fubao didn't dare to hit too hard.
She changed the subject.
"Even though you can't get involved in the underworld, you can still be a chivalrous woman, help those who are bullied, and seek justice for others. It's also possible to do good deeds in our Lianshan Town. However, this also requires effort. Otherwise, if you don't say a word, someone will punch you and knock you unconscious. Isn't that ridiculous?
How about this, after the New Year, you can follow Uncle Feng Biao to learn Kung Fu. Once you have mastered the basic skills, I will ask grandma to hire a martial arts master for you. After a few years of training, you will definitely become a great hero."
Jiang Fubao began to deceive her.
The third sister loves to travel.
How can she live a life without any means to protect herself? I advised her to learn some Kung Fu. No matter how naughty she is in the future, at least nothing serious will happen and she can protect herself.
It's always good.
"Learn Kung Fu? Can I do that?" Jiang Huanyu was a little stunned.
So much so that when it was her turn to throw the pot, she just stood there without reacting.
Finally, she took the badminton stick in a daze, threw it casually, and it went in.
"Wow, I got it, Fubao, you're right, I'll learn it!" Jiang Huanyu thought that this was a hint from God. She turned around and hugged Jiang Fubao, saying excitedly.
"Yeah!" Jiang Fubao also laughed.
This kid is so easy to fool.
After learning martial arts, you will have less energy to go out and have fun. When you grow up, you will have a skill to rely on. It is really killing two birds with one stone.
Won it three times in a row.
Jiang Huanyu believed in Jiang Fubao more and more firmly.
Two hundred taels of silver meant that both sides had already won half the battle. The fight became more intense, so the maids and servants in the house divided into many camps, clapping and cheering for their masters.
"Young Master, come on, Young Master!"
"Haha, the second young lady made it in. The second young lady is the best!"
"Fourth Master will definitely win!"
"Bomb him, bomb him, Second Master, bomb him!"
The excited voices gathered together and even reached the alley outside.
The people shoveling snow in the alley could hear it clearly.
"The Jiang family is really lively. I seem to hear Hu Zi's voice. Hey, Hu Zi is so lucky to be bought by the Jiang family. You know, the Jiang family treats servants very well. They never beat or scold them. They don't have much work to do, but they get bonuses from time to time and more than four sets of new clothes a year.
Hey, I live better than those masters of small families. I also want to be a servant of the Jiang family. Look at us. The snow is so heavy that we can’t even eat a bite. We still have to shovel snow here. I’m afraid that after the master finishes eating, there will only be cold soup and rice left. The master won’t heat it up, saying it’s a waste of firewood. We can only eat cold food on New Year’s Eve.”
One of the servants, whose hands were red from the cold, said this.
There was great resentment in his tone.
The clothes he wore were also very thin.
And they're all faded.
It was obvious that the clothes were old and had been made several years ago and did not fit the body well.
"Who says it's not true? We have all signed a death contract. We are either scolded or beaten every day. The servants of the Jiang family and I have a completely different life. Oh, don't talk about it. It makes me want to cry. But thinking about him, I am still lucky. At least I can have a full stomach."
Another person pointed at the young man who was shoveling snow alone at the gate of Shen's house and rejoiced.
"Tsk tsk, wearing straw sandals in the middle of winter, you'll definitely freeze to death if you step on the snow. Isn't that how the Shen family has always been? Newly bought servants are not treated as human beings. Unless they work their way up and win the master's favor, they can't save their lives.
If he is lucky, he can still live to see the one from the Shen family. I heard that the young master of the Shen family is kind-hearted and probably won't treat his servants like this. If he is unlucky, he will catch a cold today and may die overnight. By then, he will be thrown into a graveyard like a straw mat and eaten by wild dogs and wolves. Alas, this is the fate of us servants..."
The two of them were quite loud.
Naturally, it also reached the ears of the person opposite.
The three figures stood out particularly in the snow.
Two people can always work faster than one.
When the two left, the lonely boy was still shoveling snow.
His feet and hands were numb from the freezing cold.
The breath I exhaled didn't even create mist.
The lips are also dark purple.
"You, what's your name?" Suddenly, the door opened and a cold voice came from the side.
The boy turned around and said, "Little, little one's name is Mutou."
"Mutou? I haven't seen you before. Are you new here? Go back and have a rest. It's so cold, why are you still shoveling snow? Go find my servant and ask him to bring you a pair of shoes and clothes. The mansion has also prepared a New Year's Eve dinner. Go and eat with them. Remember to ask the maid to make you some ginger soup, otherwise you will definitely catch a cold."
Shen Hechi was wearing a black and gold cloak and standing in the snow. Snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell on his black hair, and in a short while, his hair turned white.
He finished speaking with a frown, then he remembered that he hadn't held up the umbrella in his hand.
"Yes, little one, I'll go back right away." The wood was so frozen that he couldn't even stretch his tongue straight.
He held the shovel and paused after every step. When he passed by Shen Hechi, he lowered his head, fearing that he would offend his master.
But the gratitude in my eyes could not be concealed at all.
