After Liu Guangtian ran off, Xu Damao also happily jogged away and disappeared.
Wang Dabao took out a milk candy from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it vigorously. Seeing Sha Zhu's resentful look, as if he was only going to get a beating with a belt, he found it amusing.
Liu Haizhong's belt was no ordinary belt; it had been honed on the skin of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, making it of the perfect balance of softness and firmness, and extremely easy to swing.
As the belt swung and whipped, one could hear the person being whipped making sounds of "pleasure" that were beyond imagination.
After Xu Damao left, many people left one after another. Just as Wang Dabao was wondering about this, those who had just left rushed back and even called their family members who had not attended the hospital-wide meeting.
Some of them were holding sunflower seeds, while others were holding fried peanuts.
These days, people have very limited snacks. Wang Dabao is the only one in the entire compound who can eat White Rabbit milk candy.
Wang Dabao's lips twitched. Good heavens, it turned out the residents were treating Sha Zhu's torture like a beheading in an ancient market.
That makes sense, who has ever seen such a scene these days? Only in the ancient county magistrate's office would one see someone being beaten with a cane.
"Brother Da Bao, are you thirsty?"
Xu Damao returned and sat at the other end of the bench, mysteriously placing the package between himself and Wang Dabao. "Guess what I brought? I guarantee you won't be bored while watching the show."
As he spoke, Xu Damao opened the package. The most eye-catching item inside was a large teapot, followed by two small teacups and some melon seeds and snacks.
Wang Dabao never expected Xu Damao to be so cunning. How much must he hate Sha Zhu to be able to pull all these things over!
In later generations, wouldn't this just be a typical tea party?
Xu Damao picked up the teapot, poured a cup for Wang Dabao and himself, and happily drank it all in one gulp.
"I must say, this tea tastes especially good today."
Xu Damao's long face broke into a wide grin. He urged Wang Dabao to drink quickly and stuffed a small handful of melon seeds into his hand. Then he shouted loudly to the front, "When watching a show, you have to eat melon seeds. Someone better not cry out in pain later, or I'll have to clap and cheer!"
Sha Zhu glanced at Xu Damao and Wang Dabao, and almost exploded with anger.
So he was just waiting to get beaten up. Xu Damao and Wang Dabao had already prepared tea and were just waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Wang Dabao took a sip of tea, smacked his lips twice, and said, "It's alright, at least much better than the tea from Yan Bugui's family." He continued, "Da Mao, I think you should give Dongxu some bribes and get him a few lashes too. Otherwise, fifty lashes would be too tiring."
"Hey, I have to say, Brother Da Bao, you're really smart."
Xu Damao put down the melon seeds in his hand, looking thoughtful. "I think it's feasible. If he's not tired, let him hit him. If he gets tired, I'll take over. I guarantee that I'll make sure that bastard Sha Zhu is well taken care of."
"That's right. Brother Zhuzi's actions were unethical, and it's our duty to teach him a lesson."
Wang Dabao put a pastry in his mouth and mumbled, "If I hadn't hurt my arm when I caught the bench, I would have joined in the fun too."
"No need, no need, Brother Da Bao, you can just relax here, drink tea and eat melon seeds. I'll leave the heavy lifting to Brother Da Mao."
Xu Damao waved to Wang Dabao and turned to find Jia Dongxu.
Liu Guangtian returned, followed by an excited Liu Guangfu.
Looking at Liu Guangfu's excited little face, you'd think it was his father, Liu Haizhong, who was being beaten.
Liu Haizhong stepped forward, took the belt from Liu Guangtian, and handed it to Jia Dongxu, while giving him instructions. At this moment, the entire court was in an uproar. Wang Dabao guessed that he was teaching Jia Dongxu how to use the belt correctly.
After all, when it comes to skill in using a belt to beat people, Liu Haizhong dares to say he's number one in the compound, and no one dares to claim to be number two!
For example, the grip posture and how to swing the hand to cause greater damage are all technical skills.
After giving a few instructions, Liu Haizhong smiled slightly and walked back to his seat with steady steps.
To Wang Dabao's surprise, after Liu Haizhong left, the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu came over again, gesturing with their hands all over their bodies. It seemed that their father taught them techniques, while these two sons taught them how to hit the weak points of the human body, where it hurts the most.
Xu Damao stood beside him, grinning broadly, listening intently.
Wang Dabao felt that if he didn't let Xu Damao get a taste of his own medicine, Jia Dongxu would be a real scoundrel.
Wang Dabao turned his head and looked around. The neighbors' faces were beaming with joy, as if they were looking forward to a big show about to begin. No one cared about Sha Zhu being beaten.
This shows that Sha Zhu's past behavior was truly unpopular in the compound!
Yi Zhonghai continued to soothe Sha Zhu's emotions, fearing that Sha Zhu might change his mind and abandon the project.
After a while, Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat: "Everyone, please be quiet. Now we are going to punish He Yuzhu for his behavior. I hope that after today, you will not mention this matter again. Once you leave the compound, keep it to yourselves."
"Okay, now ladies, please turn your heads around."
The three stewards, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, got up and arranged the benches, then directed Sha Zhu to take off his pants and lie face down on the benches.
Sha Zhu reluctantly began to take off his pants. Remembering what Yi Zhonghai had said, if this matter were to shock the public, his reputation would be completely ruined, and getting a wife would become a pipe dream. He gritted his teeth, took off his pants, and lay down on the bench.
Then, Yi Zhonghai waved to Jia Dongxu, indicating that they could begin.
As it turned out, Xu Damao was more enthusiastic than Jia Dongxu. He trotted over and said, "Uncle, I think we're short one person to do the counting. Let me do it."
Yi Zhonghai nodded with droopy eyelids: "Counting is fine, but you have to shout it out loud every time you hit someone."
"no problem."
Xu Damao nodded eagerly, feeling that this made him feel very involved.
"Alright, let's begin." Yi Zhonghai nodded to Jia Dongxu.
Sha Zhu took a deep breath, gripping the edge of the bench tightly with both hands, thinking to himself, "It's just fifty lashes. I'm a man, why would I be afraid of this?"
Jia Dongxu gripped the iron end of the belt, first wrapping it around his hand twice, then moving his arms and waist, and in front of everyone's eyes, with lightning speed, he lashed Sha Zhu's thigh with the leather whip.
"Ouch..."
Sha Zhu almost called up his mother, who had passed away many years ago, because he couldn't hold back.
"Dongxu, wait a minute." Yi Zhonghai hurriedly called out to stop. That scream was too chilling, and it had a strong penetrating power. It was estimated that several courtyards nearby could hear it.
Yi Zhonghai first checked Sha Zhu's buttocks and saw that there were no wounds, only that the skin was congested and red. He was relieved and turned to the old lady, "Go find a towel for Zhu to bite on, that will also relieve the pain."
"No, no need."
Xu Damao hurriedly took off his shoes, quickly pulled his socks off his feet, rolled them up, and stuffed them into the mouth of Sha Zhu, who was drooping his head. "That's good enough."
Yi Zhonghai tried to stop him, but Xu Damao acted too quickly.
Luckily, Sha Zhu didn't notice, otherwise he would have been so angry he would have fainted.
