The master checked the embroidery. The good news was that the cat as a whole was not damaged, but the bad news was that there was a large stain on the empty space next to the cat.
"Who is the bastard who messed up my embroidery like this?" Zhou Lanhua kicked over the bench next to her.
"Let me find her and beat her to a pulp!"
Qiu Hua's heart was gripped tightly, and she looked at Jiang Xiang for help: "Master, what should I do? It's too late to embroider again!"
The master did not answer her immediately, but looked at it over and over again.
Embroidery cannot be washed directly. If you cut off the stained part, the composition of the entire embroidery will be unbalanced. In short, there is no remedy.
"This...Qiuhua, don't worry. We'll think of a solution. We still have time."
Qiuhua knew that his master was trying to comfort him, so he forced a smile with an awkward expression.
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"
Zhou Lanhua was about to go out as she spoke. She had just thought about it carefully and had roughly found the bastard in her mind.
"Lanhua, where are you going?" Qiuhua hurriedly grabbed her.
"I know who it is, I'm going to beat him up!"
If Zhou Lanhua is allowed to go out with her temper, she will definitely get into big trouble!
"Don't go! You are not allowed to go anywhere. What's the point of taking revenge?" Jiang Xiang scolded.
"Mom!" Zhou Lanhua had already stepped out of the door, and she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. Her mother's tone was very firm, and Zhou Lanhua wilted and reluctantly withdrew her foot.
"You can swallow this anger, but I can't!"
"Since you have the time, why don't you help us clean up?"
Not only Qiuhua's embroidery was damaged, but also the tables and chairs next to it fell to the ground.
The man probably climbed in through the window and ransacked the house, leaving the place in a mess.
After packing up her things, Qiuhua felt very depressed. This embroidery took her too much effort and three years of learning the craft. Now it was time to test it, but such a thing happened.
"Either give up or make amends." Qiuhua's tone was firm, but he was actually not sure in his heart.
Jiang Xiang was stunned for a moment. She had not expected Qiuhua's decisiveness. She didn't expect that this naive little girl had already made up her mind at this moment.
"Qiuhua, this matter is also a test for you. What you just said is right. It is definitely too late to do it again.
Are you willing to give up?"
The master looked at Qiuhua, she believed that Qiuhua would not give up easily.
Sure enough, Qiuhua shook his head. Giving up was impossible. How could he just give up after such a long period of preparation?
"Okay, I was right about you." Jiang Xiang took Qiuhua's hand and said, "Master has also faced this situation before. Although it is a little different, it is basically what every embroiderer has experienced.
Instead of being upset and falling apart, why not try to see if you can fix it? Master believes you can find a way.”
Qiuhua nodded. Her master's words were like a warm little iron, gently soothing the worries and anxieties in her heart.
The next morning, Qiuhua was still asleep, so Zhou Lanhua tiptoed out of bed.
It was not yet fully light, so she bent down and went out, closing the door gently.
After leaving the yard, she hurried to the back of the village. The road was dark and she couldn't see clearly.
"Boss!"
A person suddenly jumped out from the bushes by the roadside, startling Zhou Lanhua in the dark.
"Fuck, Thirteen, do you want to scare me to death?" She slapped the black head hard.
"Ouch! Boss, be gentle!" Thirteen rubbed his head. "We agreed to meet here yesterday. Did you forget?"
Zhou Lanhua then remembered that she had asked him to join her yesterday.
"Come on, follow me to the ambush!"
She hooked her arm around Shisan's shoulders, and he giggled and followed Zhou Lanhua to the back of the village.
Shisan is from the same village as Zhou Lanhua. He is a big, silly guy. Although he is one year older than her, he has always followed her around and called her "Big Boss" since he was a child.
When they arrived at the place, the two of them squatted at the foot of the wall of a low house. Not long after, someone came out with a wooden basin and poured water.
"Boss, why are we hiding here? Who are we ambushing?" Thirteen pulled the corner of Zhou Lanhua's clothes.
"Oh, you are so stupid!" Zhou Lanhua hit him on the forehead again with her backhand.
"Open your eyes and see whose door this is!"
"...This...Oh!" Thirteen was enlightened by the slap. "Boss! I get it, we are going to ambush Wang Erhu!"
Another loud chestnut hit came down, and Zhou Lanhua cursed in a low voice: "You idiot, keep your voice down!"
"Ouch... Boss... Be gentle..."
Thirteen held his head and rubbed it.
Wang Erhu, although his name contains the character "二", is actually the only child in the family. When Wang Liu was old and had a son, the fortune teller said that Wang Erhu could only be the younger one, not the older one, so that he could be raised well. That's why he changed his name from Dahu to Erhu.
By the time it was light outside, his parents had gone out to work and there was still no sign of him.
By the time their stomachs started to growl, Zhou Lanhua had become impatient from squatting there. She kicked over a large rock beside her and wished she could rush to the door.
"Boss! Don't get excited, I think he's about to come out!"
Although Shisan was stupid, he always spoke accurately. Just as he finished speaking, Wang Erhu came out of the house yawning.
He stared at the chicken coop with his eyes narrowed, obviously not fully awake. Zhou Lanhua blinked at Thirteen, who nodded.
When he got closer, Thirteen suddenly appeared and kicked him hard in the stomach. He fell to the ground in pain.
"What are you doing! It hurts!"
"What are you doing?" Zhou Lanhua jumped out, stepped on him and cursed, "I can't kill you! Did you come to my house yesterday? Did you mess with my sister's embroidery frame?"
"Ouch, I don't know what you're talking about!"
Wang Erhu refused to admit it and kept crying out in pain.
Zhou Lanhua stepped on him twice, bent down, patted his face and said, "I didn't expect you, Wang Erhu, to be such a coward. You dare to do it but not to admit it!
But it’s okay if you don’t admit it, I’ll tie you up and throw you into the river.”
"You dare! You dare not!" Wang Erhu is not afraid of death.
"I don't dare? That's right, I don't dare." Zhou Lanhua gestured to Shisan, who took the hemp rope and tied her up tightly.
"But I'll strip you naked and hang you from that tree at the village entrance!"
As he said that, Thirteen picked up Wang Erhu and went to the village entrance.
"No, no, no, put me down. I admit it, I admit it. It was me who did it. What do you want to do?"
Zhou Lanhua stopped and said, "Okay, I finally accepted it."
"What do you think? My sister has the final say. If he wants to hang you on the tree, I'll hang you there!"
"Zhou Lanhua! Put me down!"
