I don't know when the fence was reinforced. When Tang Yongfu pulled it, it actually made a jingling sound. I don't know where the bell was tied.
Tang Yongfu was so scared that he loosened his hold and fell on his butt. His wound had not healed yet and he groaned in pain and broke out in a cold sweat.
The next moment, a "whoosh whoosh" sound was heard, and two lynxes rushed out from somewhere and bit his shoulder.
Tang Yongfu screamed, frightened out of his wits, jumped up suddenly, ran back in a panic, and never dared to show up again.
With a piece of cloth in his mouth, he ran to Tang Shiyue to ask for credit.
Tang Shiyue stroked them for a long time with satisfaction and felt that this pair of lynxes were becoming more and more useful. They could hit wherever they were pointed and to what extent, more accurately than human control.
Just then, someone outside called her, "Master Tang, Doctor Chen is here to see you."
Village doctor? What is he doing here?
Tang Shiyue came out and saw Doctor Chen standing outside with a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Tang Shiyue asked: "What's the matter?"
...
...
The village doctor pointed at the young man next to him and said, "Master Tang, the patient you sent in the other day has been almost cured. The cost of medicine and food for the past few days is three taels of silver. Please give him three taels!"
Tang Shiyue: “…”
She thought for a while before she remembered that this was the person she had saved at the entrance of the village... But it had been several days! Why did she bring him here only now? If she had forgotten, could the village doctor have forgotten too?
The village doctor's character of taking advantage of others' shortcomings has remained the same for ten years. No matter what, he will just treat her first. Now he is not worried at all that she will default on her debt.
Tang Shiyue glanced at the man.
How should I describe the boy's appearance? You can tell at first glance that he has a bad temper. His eyebrows are long and thick, black and reaching his temples. There is an unconcealable ruthlessness in his eyes, and his expression reveals a bandit-like demeanor.
A wolf cub.
Tang Shiyue asked: "Who are you? Who are you looking for in our village?"
The man bowed stiffly and said, "I want to come to the martial arts hall."
The village doctor took the initiative to say, "This guy is not here to seek refuge with relatives! He heard from someone that there is a martial arts school here that doesn't accept any students, so he wanted to come and learn martial arts. I told him that the school only accepts children between the ages of three and seven, but he still didn't believe it."
He paused and said, "I don't care. Anyway, you brought him here, and I treated him with all my heart! You have to pay for the medicine!"
Tang Shiyue took a long breath, took out three taels of silver from his purse and gave it directly to the village doctor, who then left happily.
Tang Shiyue asked the man: "What's your name?"
The man lowered his eyes and said after a while: "No name."
"What's your last name?"
He was silent for a while again: "Forgot."
Tang Shiyue raised her eyebrows: "Why do you want to learn martial arts?"
He hesitated again, then said word by word: "Revenge."
"Revenge..." Tang Shiyue chewed on the word, as if he could feel the uncontrollable grief and anger when these two words were between his lips.
Tang Shiyue was silent for a long time.
The man said slowly, "I went to the martial arts gym, but the guy wouldn't let me in, saying they only accepted kids between three and seven years old. I can't beat him."
He paused, looked up at her and said, "The doctor said that you are the owner's young wife, and he will listen to what you say. Let me beg you."
Tang Shiyue asked: "Can't you see that he is trying to trick you for money?"
He was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly: "I can see that. But..."
But, this is probably his only hope, right?
Tang Shiyue said: "Come with me."
She took him into the martial arts hall, and then asked Liang Da Huzi to invite Qi Jing over. She told him what happened, then clapped her hands and left.
Qi Jing recruited people seemingly casually, but he had his own way of doing things, and she didn't intend to interfere.
She has her own things to do and really has no time recently.
The winery worked overtime for more than half a month before finally finishing brewing this batch of wine.
Because they also had to brew "Tang Family Fruit Wine", not only the men in the winery were busy, but the women who were invited were also very busy. However, the villagers did not spare their effort. The key was to earn money, so the whole village was celebrating.
In the blink of an eye, it is August 15th.
August 15th has always been a family reunion festival with great significance. Even Xu Wenqu returned to his home in the city three days in advance, leaving only Qi Jing and Tang Shiyue at home.
Mrs. Ye made osmanthus cakes and a large table of dishes, and everyone worshipped the moon in a lively manner. Tang Shiyue also forced Tang Shirong and the other three to each write a poem about the moon praising Tang Shiyue. I don't know if it was good or not, but it sounded quite nice.
Maybe it was because the festive atmosphere was too strong, Tang Shiyue felt indescribably...sad.
She didn't know how many times she had picked up the wine glass and put it down again. Qi Jing finally said softly, "Drink it."
She turned to look at him. His dark eyes were deep and bright in the moonlight, as if they had some kind of magic. "I'm watching you. It's okay. Drink."
As if she had finally found a reason, she started drinking one cup after another.
By the time they came out to release river lanterns, she was so drunk that she could hardly stand. Tang Shirong held her up with difficulty, and she was staggering.
Qi Jing couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he walked over and grabbed her arm.
She giggled and said to him, "Today is my birthday!"
Tang Shirong said helplessly: "Your birthday is the tenth day of the twelfth month!"
She didn't listen and pulled Qi Jing's sleeve: "A Jing, A Jing, today is my birthday! Why don't you give me a birthday present!"
Qi Jing lowered his eyelashes slightly and asked softly, "What do you want?"
Her eyes were watery, she thought about it seriously, and said with a smile: "How about you come home with me?"
Qi Jing glanced at her and nodded: "Yeah."
"Keep your voice down," Tang Shirong said helplessly, "You're already drunk like this after just a few glasses of wine!"
The further they walked, the more people there were. When they reached the river, Tang Shiyue took Qi Jing's lotus lantern, squatted down, put it into the water, then knelt on the ground, puffed up her cheeks, and blew hard. She almost fell into the water.
Qi Jing was overwhelmed and reached out to grab the clothes on her shoulders and lifted her up.
Tang Shiyue borrowed his strength to stand up, cupped her hands into a trumpet, and shouted loudly to the river: "Dad, Mom, brother! Yueyue misses you so much! You must be well! You must live a long life!"
People who were close laughed and said, "Is Mr. Tang so drunk? What is he yelling about?"
Qi Jing frowned slightly.
Tang Shirong said helplessly: "I really didn't expect Yueyue's alcohol tolerance is so poor."
The people around him joked in a friendly manner: "A winery owner can't be without a good alcohol tolerance!"
"It's okay," someone else said, "As long as Tang Si can drink!"
"Yes, yes, yes," the man also laughed, "Mr. Tang just needs to take care of the business, no need to drink!"
Tang Shiyue was completely dizzy and could not hear what others were saying. She finished yelling to herself and grabbed Qi Jing's arm: "I want to go home." She burst into tears and buried her face in his shoulder: "A Jing, I want to go home, I want to go home..."
"Okay, okay," Qi Jing was frightened by her sudden crying, and he coaxed her softly, "I'll take you back."
"Come, let me help you," Tang Shirong hurried over, but Tang Shiyue didn't let go at all, just hugged Qi Jing and cried.
Tang Shirong pulled her over several times but failed. When he pulled her again, she got annoyed and pushed him away.
Seeing that there was no one around, Qi Jing said directly: "A Rong, I'm leaving first." He picked up Tang Shiyue and disappeared.
Tang Xiaoshusheng stayed there for a long while, and shook his head helplessly: "Sure enough... scholars are useless."
He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly home, looking up from time to time to admire the moonlight.
Even Qi Jing didn't notice that after they left, a figure slowly emerged from under the tree, looking at their disappearing backs, with venom in his eyes.
It’s Tang Osmanthus.
She was hurt so badly by them, why should they live together and fly away together? They should be more miserable than her!
