Chapter 489: Dog Stuff
At this time, the pig heads of Zhao Ziping and the other three looked even bigger than before. They couldn't even get up from the ground and could only groan in pain.
"What a damn bad luck." Zhao Ziping spat out a mouthful of blood foam.
When he was beaten just now, he tried his best to block his face, but he was still beaten black and blue. The injuries on his face are very serious. I'm afraid it will take a long time for him to heal after he goes back.
If there was no scar, it would be fine. But if there was a scar, how could he go out and have fun in the future? The more Zhao Ziping thought about it, the more distressed he felt. He wished he could find a bronze mirror right now to take a closer look.
But even if there was no injury at this moment, Zhao Ziping could guess that his face must have been seriously injured and probably disfigured.
Zhao Ziping was getting angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He kicked Zhao Liu, who was standing beside him. “You two idiots, you’ve made me like this.”
Zhao Liu was immediately dissatisfied. "There was nothing wrong in the first place. It was you who talked too much and had to drag those three people here to talk about something irrelevant. That's why we got into trouble. We two brothers haven't blamed you for getting us into trouble, but you are blaming us."
"That's right." Zhao Sanke also chimed in, "You caused all this trouble yourself. I thought you were a smart person, but I never thought you would be so stupid. Not only did you get us two brothers into trouble, but now you're complaining."
"Don't forget, if it weren't for your dirty thoughts, you wouldn't have been beaten like this!"
"Sixth son, let's go. I just figured it out. This is something that harms the heaven and earth. We can't follow Zhao Ziping and do this just to save some money. We might get struck by lightning!"
"Well, let's go." Zhao Liu climbed up from the ground with difficulty, and he and Zhao Sanke supported each other and were about to walk.
Zhao Ziping was furious when he saw the two people leaving him here without caring about him. He reached out and threw the dirt and clods of earth nearby at the two people, cursing, "You bastards, don't you see your own behavior? You are just a bunch of mud-legged people digging for food in the fields, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. You are nothing but dogs..."
Zhao Sanke and Zhao Liu didn't get any benefits and were beaten up twice for no reason. They were very angry. Now they were scolded by Zhao Ziping. The two brothers looked at each other and nodded.
The squeaking and wailing sounds began again.
After a long time, the brothers Zhao Sanke and Zhao Liu left Zhao Ziping, who was beaten beyond recognition, and walked away.
"You guys... just wait for me..."
Zhao Ziping struggled to get up from the ground, picked up a branch from the side and used it as a crutch. After cursing angrily, he moved towards Zhaojiazhuang bit by bit with difficulty.
The three Hu brothers arrived at Zhuang Qingning's door and knocked on it excitedly. However, they were afraid that someone would knock on the door suddenly in the middle of the night and scare Zhuang Qingning, so they shouted, "Boss Zhuang, I'm Hu Da."
Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui had just finished soaking their feet in the house and were preparing to tidy up for bed. When they heard the noise outside, they came out and opened the door.
Seeing that the three people's noses were a little red due to the wind outside, Zhuang Qingning invited them into the house to roast some earthworms to warm themselves up.
"It's fine outside." Hu Dalian waved his hands, "It's not cold. Look, the three of us are all wearing very warm clothes."
Originally, they came to disturb her after dark. For a girl like Zhuang Qingning, it was already a bit inconvenient. If they went into the house, it would be even more inappropriate.
Although the three Hu brothers were careless in their actions, they still understood the most basic etiquette and just did it in the yard.
Zhuang Qingning understood the concerns of the three of them, so he did not insist. He just brought out the small stove that he usually used to make tea, let the three of them warm themselves up by the fire, and poured them some hot tea to warm them up.
"Why are you here now? I heard from Shopkeeper Lu that you guys are out on a escort mission and won't be back until November or December. Have you finished your escort mission now?"
"Yes." Hu Da nodded. "I just came back at noon. I have to go out again tomorrow, and it's an urgent mission. I have to be back before the New Year."
"I have been thinking about thanking Manager Zhuang for finding such a good job for us, but I have never been able to do it. I am worried that if I delay this matter any longer, it will be the end of the year. I don't know if there will be new work by then, and I am not sure if I will be able to do it by then."
"The three of us decided to take advantage of this half day to come and see Shopkeeper Zhuang. When we got to the town, we saw that Shopkeeper Zhuang was not at the tofu shop, so we asked along the way to find out where Shopkeeper Zhuang's home was."
"I walked all the way, asking questions all the way. I don't know if the person asking was confused or the second brother didn't hear clearly, but I took the wrong road and kept walking south. The farther I walked, the more I felt something was wrong. I asked questions all the way and finally found the place. As a result, I arrived at this time."
Hu Da scratched his ear and said, "I guess it delayed the manager's rest."
"Not really. I'm not ready to go to bed yet." Zhuang Qingning smiled and poured another cup of tea for the three of them, saying, "Did you have a smooth journey? You all look quite dark. I'm afraid it must have been very hard for you along the way."
"Fortunately, it's not that hard. Manager Lu is also very generous and pays us a lot. For the three of us, we have received more than ten taels of silver for this trip. Food and accommodation are all provided, and clothes are bought by the escort agency. We don't have to worry about anything, and we earn all the money."
Hu Da laughed and said, "It's only been a few months, and we've earned so much money. If we work hard for a whole year, it won't be long before the three of us can each buy a yard in the county town."
"When the time comes, we can find a partner and start a family sooner." Zhuang Qingning joked.
The three Hu brothers didn't expect Zhuang Qingning to joke with them, and their faces turned red to their ears.
"Oh, let's talk about this later..."
Hu Da, a burly man, became shy and waved his hands repeatedly, "We three brothers look so scary, which girl would be interested in us?"
"Let's talk about it later. If you can marry her, then marry her. If you can't, then that's fine. It doesn't mean you can't live..."
"Right, right, let's not talk about this."
Hu Da hurriedly pulled off the bag that Hu Er was carrying, placed it on the stone table, and opened the cloth sheets layer by layer to reveal the contents.
They were two fox skins, and they were white fox skins. Even in the dim candlelight and starlight, one could tell that the fox skins were snow-white and felt excellent, and were considered top-grade furs.
"I encountered this on the way to escort the convoy. I was itching to kill it, so I shot it down."
