Chapter 9 I beat up Old Liu's family.
In no time, all the onlookers at Old Liu's house had left. Old Liu realized that these bastards were no match for him when it mattered most. He glanced at the idiot with fear and decided to go to the village chief to expel the idiot from the Liu family. He figured that even if they didn't beat the idiot to death, he would starve to death. Old Liu snorted and quickly ran towards the village chief's house.
Liu Ye tossed the shovel into the yard. The old man must have gone to find someone. She couldn't just wait here to be caught. Although she was stronger now, as the old saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. She had to run. Right, the flint. She went to the kitchen to put the flint into her spatial storage and quickly ran out of the Liu family's yard. She arrived at the abandoned old house at the edge of the village and nimbly climbed up the woodpile.
She saw five eggs lying in the nest where she had collected eggs yesterday, and her mood instantly improved. She waved her hand and put the eggs into her space. Great, five more eggs! It seems that this nest is not just one hen laying eggs, but five hen. The eggs she put into her space yesterday must all be good eggs.
Liu Ye looked at Bai Zilin's house next door. They had just been fighting so fiercely, but she didn't see Brother Bai watching the commotion. It seemed that he didn't like to join in the fun.
At this moment, Bai Zilin's father, Uncle Bai, came out of the house, walked to the wall, unzipped his pants, and urinated.
Startled, Liu Ye quickly lay down on the woodpile. What the hell!
Then, Bai Zilin came out of the house and saw that his father was urinating against the wall again. He was so angry that his face turned black. He quickly looked at the woodpile next door and saw that there seemed to be a person lying on the woodpile. The silly girl is here. Her father is really something!
"Dad, why are you peeing against the wall again? We have an outhouse, can't you be a little more careful!"
Uncle Bai pulled up his pants, glared at me, and roared, "This is my house! I can pee wherever I want, what's it to you? Humph! Don't think that just because you've gotten so capable and can hunt, and the family depends on your worthless thing, you can boss me around. Get out of here, go do what you're supposed to do, and stop bastarding in front of me!"
After finishing his sentence, Uncle Bai didn't go back into the house. Instead, he left the yard and walked into the village, heading to the village chief's house.
Bai Zilin sighed wearily, leaped onto the courtyard wall, and looked at Liu Ye lying on the haystack: "Stop pretending to be asleep. I know you're not asleep. Just now... you didn't see it, did you?"
Willow Leaf sat up from the grass, brushed the hair that was covering her face aside, revealing her dark little face and her eyes that sparkled like stars: "Didn't see ahead, hehe, but your dad's butt is pretty white..." ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Bai Zilin (_), he knew it… his dad was really infuriating! “From now on, if you see my dad come out of the house, don’t look at him… By the way, I thought I heard someone arguing at your house just now. Was it your house?”
Liu Ye nodded and said, "It's my family. I beat up my parents, grandparents, and they wanted to kill me. I didn't want to die, so I had no choice but to fight back. Brother Bai, do you think what I did was right?"
Bai Zilin nodded with a serious expression: "You did the right thing. When you can't bear it anymore, there's no need to bear it any longer. Besides, they want to kill you. Are you alright?"
Liu Ye smiled and shook her head: "No, they didn't even touch a hair on my head. It was the Liu family who were injured. However, I can't go back to the Liu family anymore. There's a drought everywhere this year, and I don't even have a copper coin. I'm all alone... I don't have a house or a plot of land. Brother Bai, what do you think about me going to town and becoming a maid for a rich family?"
Bai Zilin shook his head in disapproval: "Not so good. Being a maid in a wealthy family isn't easy. If the master is unhappy, being beaten or scolded is the least of your worries. If you encounter a ruthless young lady or master, they often beat or kill the maids for amusement, and then bury them in their own garden as fertilizer. The Zhao family in town... well, never mind. You should just stay in the village."
Liu Ye pretended to be scared and shrank her neck, thinking, "Ugh, that's scary! I'm not going to town to beat up the maids then. Brother Bai, how many people are in your family?"
Bai Zilin sat on the wall, swinging his legs casually: "There are four people in my family: my dad, my mom, and my sister. My sister's name is Bai Zimei. She doesn't like to go out of the house and doesn't like to play with the girls in the village, so you haven't seen her much."
"Oh." In the silly girl's fragmented memories, there was indeed no information about Bai Zimei. Liu Ye looked up at the moon that had already risen and said, "Brother Bai, when do you think this heat will end? When will it rain? The little river in the mountains seems to be drying up."
Bai Zilin sighed and said, "Who knows? I've been hoping for rain every day. Now, not only are the rivers in the mountains drying up, but our well is almost dry too. Several wells in the village have already dried up, as have those in other villages and towns. Everyone is saying that if it doesn't rain soon, they'll go south to escape famine. Some people have already started organizing it."
“I heard that Yongcheng, which is 100 miles away from us, has become a ghost town, with all the villagers and towns gone. If it doesn’t rain soon, my family is planning to go south. Silly girl, what are your plans?”
Liu Ye grabbed two handfuls of messy hair. She didn't really have any plans for the time being, but if they all went to the south, and the villagers and townspeople all left, she would naturally go with them: "If everyone in the village leaves, I'll leave too. I've heard that the south is like spring all year round, which must be better than our north. I won't come back then. Brother Bai, will you come back then?"
Bai Zilin shook his head with a wry smile: "Silly girl, you're thinking too far ahead. We're not even sure if we can get to the South safely. The South is a long way from the North, and we can't predict what might happen on the way. Besides, we don't have any food or water. It's going to be tough!"
Liu Ye was curious about the current grain price: "Brother Bai, how much does grain cost now?"
Bai Zilin thought for a moment and said, "When I went to town last time, white rice was 80 wen per jin, white flour was 100 wen per jin, and mixed grains were 20 wen per jin. Other things were not cheap either, but I didn't ask."
"Oh, right, I saved a chicken leg for you. Wait here, I'll go get it for you."
After Bai Zilin finished speaking, he jumped down from the wall. Liu Ye swallowed hard. Chicken leg? Did she hear that right?
Soon, Bai Zilin returned. He leaped onto the wall and handed the chicken leg to Liu Ye: "Eat it, this is something I specially saved for you..."
Liu Ye accepted the chicken leg, flattered: "Thank you, Brother Bai, then... then I'll take it."
Bai Zilin smiled and nodded: "Eat up. The pheasant is a bit thin, and there's not much meat on the drumsticks. Looks like I'll have to go up the mountain earlier tomorrow."
