Chapter 22 Fiercer than they imagined
[The kid has been beaten since he was born, and finally he learned to kill pigs and got married. But recently there have been wild boars injuring people near the village, so the county government has organized people to go and clear them out, and the butcher must go.]
[He would follow them into the mountains and be killed by a wild boar! And his son, who has a fever from the shock, should have been ill for several days now. There is no money for medical treatment at home, so he will probably go crazy soon!] "
Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave first!"
The Minister of Rites had already gotten what he wanted, and he wanted to go back quickly to save his son!
Of course the emperor agreed, but in fact, he also wanted to see the excitement.
"Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at the Ministry of Revenue, so I'll take my leave first."
"Your Majesty, my mother has been feeling unwell recently, so I'll take my leave first!"
"Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so first..."
"Your Majesty, my nephew is getting married, so first..."
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the first-rank officials in the court had left.
Looking at them running out in a hurry, those who didn't know would have thought their house was on fire?
And there was that excuse... Your grandson can already make soy sauce, so how can your daughter-in-law give birth?
[Your Majesty, my blind father has poor eyesight. I heard that there is a miracle doctor who specializes in treating blindness in Liujia Village. I want to go there too! ]
Yuan Baobao was so anxious that her hands were shaking, almost breaking.
She always felt that it was a bit strange for the old man to go out, and she also wanted to go and see the excitement.
Prince Yi... is really his leaky little cotton-padded jacket! The leak is so serious!
Daughter, you didn't stab your father in the back.
Your Majesty... What should I do if my granddaughter wants to see the excitement?
Just spoil her.
"Dismiss the court."
The emperor hurriedly took the child and ran away, and the ministers were stunned. Why
is the emperor in such a hurry? Is he in a hurry to go back to breastfeed?
At this time, Yuan Baobao was already nestled in Liu Jiaojiao's arms.
Holding her granary, she said it was the last time every time she ate.
But when she was hungry, she couldn't help but continue to eat.
It was so entangled that she almost hated herself!
...
Liujia Village, a backer.
It has always been peaceful here, but recently a wild boar ran out of the mountain.
It has injured villagers several times.
Li Zheng reported the situation to the county magistrate, who took it seriously and sent people to capture it.
Unfortunately, the wild boar is smarter than humans. After seeing the soldiers coming, it hid so well that no trace could be found. After
the soldiers left, it came out to cause trouble again.
After repeating this several times, the county magistrate was too lazy to care and told everyone to be careful when entering the mountain.
But no one expected that several children in the village went into the mountain to play, and several of them ran back with injuries, but Li Zheng's grandson was missing.
Everyone guessed that he might have been eaten by the wild boar.
Li Zheng organized the villagers to go into the mountains to search and hunt wild boars.
"Liu Dazhuang, you are the butcher of our village. You are very strong. You must go into the mountains."
Li Zheng looked at the sturdy Liu Dazhuang and said with a firm tone that could not be refused.
"I..."
Liu Dazhuang hesitated: "Uncle Liu, it's not that I don't want to go, but... you see, my potatoes have been roasted for several days, I am worried." Liu Dazhuang
is not fat, nor tall, but he is very strong, otherwise he can't do the job of killing pigs.
"Well... Dazhuang, after we kill the wild boar, we'll use the money to get your potatoes treated."
"It's not cheap to see a doctor nowadays, and you can't just wait at home like this."
Liu Dazhuang hesitated, and he was very conflicted when he saw his son who was suffering from the fever.
"You little bastard, why don't you go quickly! Don't you want your son's life?"
Although Butcher Liu was old, he was taller than Liu Dazhuang.
Seeing his son's frightened look, he waved his hand and hit him.
Butcher Liu was not young, but he had a loud voice and was very strong.
A slap came over, and Liu Dazhuang didn't dare to resist, and was hit hard.
"Stop beating him, Da Zhuang will go!"
Mother Liu was extremely anxious when she saw her son being beaten.
She had a lame leg, which was caused by being beaten by Butcher Liu.
Seeing her grandson in pain, she was also very anxious, but what could a woman do?
"Hey, Da Zhuang, wild boars are scary, you should be careful, run away if things go wrong, okay?"
Mother Liu said with a worried look
on her face. Li Zheng looked at their reluctant look, and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes: "If you keep talking, the sun will set."
"Da Zhuang, take your guys away quickly. Don't worry, we have a lot of people, nothing will happen."
Da Zhuang nodded, took the pig-killing knife and walked out.
Before leaving, he glanced at his son and thought to himself, son, daddy will definitely take you to see a doctor.
Actually, killing pigs is very profitable. Originally, their family lived a good life, at least they had no problem with food and clothing.
But, his father was deceived and became addicted to gambling.
He used to drink, and after gambling, he had no money left!
His son was sick, but he didn't even have the money to see a doctor.
The medicine given by the doctor in the village didn't work.
There were more than a dozen people in the group. Although there were not a lot of people, everyone was very scared, and their hands were shaking as they held the kid.
"Little dog..."
Li Zheng's son shouted in his mouth, but everyone knew that the child was probably not in good condition.
Maybe he had been eaten by the wild boar.
When the Minister of Rites arrived, the villagers had already gone up the mountain.
He was afraid of delaying the trip, so he didn't even take a carriage. He had someone carry him on horseback.
He asked a random person and found out the name of the butcher's son.
Liu Dazhuang...
The Minister of Rites' mouth twitched fiercely, this name was really down-to-earth.
He didn't have the mood to care about anything else. He left the old housekeeper to wait for the imperial physician to come and treat his grandson. At his old age, he led the people into the mountain himself.
"If we encounter a wild boar, are you sure you can kill it?"
The Minister of Rites was still worried, as it involved his son's life.
"Sir, don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem."
"Sir, please walk slowly, let's go inside first."
Seeing the leader of the Jinyiwei leading a few people riding into the mountain quickly, the Minister of Rites felt inferior.
But he didn't want to wait outside, he was afraid that his son would get into trouble.
Just as he walked in tremblingly, Li Zheng and his men didn't find Sun Zi, but they encountered the wild boar that the officers and soldiers couldn't find.
"Da Zhuang, hurry up!"
Li Zheng also guessed that Sun Zi might have been harmed by this thing. His eyes were red, and he shouted to the villagers to go up and fight the wild boar.
But he kept retreating.
The wild boar looked really big, estimated to be four or five hundred kilograms.
The pig's hooves were strong and thick, and the ground made a thumping sound when it ran.
Everyone was even more scared when they heard it. This wild boar was a little...
more powerful than they had imagined.
They were asked to go up and fight together, but many people's legs were shaking.
