Chapter 20 020. Can’t you be serious?
"Are you hurt?"
"Only a little."
Lei Li shook his head. "I'm strong, but he looked down on me because I was just a kid. He didn't even have a knife with him. I pushed him down and ran away."
"Didn't run away?"
"without."
Lei Li was furious. "If he hadn't been like a ghost, pestering me to steal the silver, I wouldn't have been able to get rid of him right away, and I'd have been worried that he'd follow me home."
"There are only my parents at home. You know what they are like. Dad is sick, and Mom is definitely no match for a man. What if he gets angry and rushes into the house and hurts them?"
"I got anxious and took out a grass knife..."
"I was so scared that I didn't dare call anyone. I ran home with the silver in my pocket, but Niu Dali saw the blood on my clothes."
Zhou Yi asked, "And then you were accused by Niu Dali?"
"Accusation?"
"He's the one who said you were the murderer."
"Niu Dali didn't know I'd killed someone, but he told the villagers that he saw the blood on me and thought I'd gone to slaughter a pig for someone else and brought back some pork offal, and he even asked me for it."
Lei Li snorted coldly, "Who the hell is he? He tried to beg from me. I beat him up, and he didn't dare to say anything."
"But a few days later, the villagers heard that a scoundrel from the next village had died. When they put everything together, they thought I was the one who killed him. They made it sound so convincing that it seemed as if they had seen it themselves."
Although it was really Lei Li who killed him.
But it cannot be said that he was so angry and embarrassed after being teased by the scoundrel that he killed the scoundrel alive and skinned him alive.
He is a pig killer, not the King of Hell.
"And then?"
Zhou Yi asked, "Doesn't that scoundrel have any family? Did his family come to see you?"
"That scoundrel lost his parents at a young age and has no one at home. He spends his days stealing and robbing in the next village and never does anything serious. It's just right that he's dead."
Lei Li still felt like he had rid the people of a pest when he talked about this. "Later, the village chief of the neighboring village sent for people to collect his body, but no one went, thinking it was bad luck. And no one sought justice for that scoundrel."
"The county is more than ten miles away from Sanli Village. Besides, how many peasants out there would have the guts to report this to the authorities?"
"Anyway, I killed him. Now that he's dead, people in the neighborhood will talk about him as a killer for a few years, and the matter will be over. I won't be picked over by those men to marry."
Zhou Yi understood.
No wonder the villagers were so afraid of Lei Li. It turned out that it was because he had accidentally killed someone. After all, some people were afraid to even watch chickens and pigs being slaughtered, so they were even more afraid of someone who could kill people.
No wonder Lei Li is still unmarried at the age of 20.
Although he is a boy, he is very capable and good at making money. The villagers don’t care much about whether he looks good or not. After all, who doesn’t like cheap labor that can have children?
But once this happened, no one would dare to propose marriage.
——It’s scary to think about the person next to you who might stab you when he gets angry.
But Zhou Yi is not included.
After listening to him, Zhou Yi affirmed him, "That's good, it's a blessing in disguise."
"What else?"
"And you did a great job. Few people who are robbed are as calm and bold as you, and you were able to fight back and kill the robber."
"Zhou Yi."
"Um?"
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid of you?"
Zhou Yi paused, then nodded, "Sometimes I'm also quite scared. You always pinch my face or my neck and kiss me when we disagree. There are other people who do the same outside, which is quite embarrassing."
"It can't be said to be embarrassing..."
Zhou Yi thought about it, but couldn't find an accurate adjective. "Anyway, don't approach relatives without saying hello. At least tell them in advance."
"Zhou Yi."
Lei Li suddenly called him.
"Um."
Seeing that he was silent again, Zhou Yi asked, "What's wrong? I'm listening."
"I'm going to kiss you now."
Lei Li's voice was filled with laughter and mischief, "Think about it, do you want me to pinch your face or your neck?"
"...Can't you be normal?"
"able."
Before he could finish his words, Lei Li had already pressed on Zhou Yi. He didn't pinch his face or the back of his neck, but held his shoulders and kissed him firmly on the mouth.
The technology hasn't advanced much.
He is quite strong.
I almost kissed Zhou Yi's mouth to pieces.
After Zhou Yi was kissed, he was still confused and bewildered. "No, what did I do? Why are you suddenly like you have an explosion of sex hormones?"
"You speak so sweetly, I want to kiss you."
Zhou Yi: “???”
Before Zhou Yi could come to his senses, Lei Li held him down and kissed him again. Only when she was satisfied did she wipe her mouth and get off him.
"I finally understand why those guys want to get married so much. It's good to have a husband who can do the work of an animal and kiss in bed."
Zhou Yi: “……?”
He was so angry that he laughed, "Are you praising me? Who would make such a comparison?"
Lei Li looked at him and smiled, "I was just praising you, my husband. How many people are as good as animals? Even the village chief's cow is not as strong as yours."
“…”
Zhou Yi was speechless.
Zhou Yi was speechless.
"Husband."
Lei Li stopped smiling and looked at Zhou Yi seriously, "You really don't think I'm scary?"
"I don't think so."
Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "He robbed you, and even though you accidentally killed him, at most it was excessive self-defense."
"And I think reasonable self-defense is more appropriate. If he hadn't robbed someone, he wouldn't have died. Adults should pay the price for their choices."
After a moment's thought, he added, "Everyone should pay the price for their choices. Regardless of age or gender, everyone should act within the law."
Zhou Yi concluded seriously, "You don't have to feel burdened. This is not your fault. On the contrary, you should be proud of your courage because you protected yourself and your family."
Although he didn't understand some of the words, Lei Li was very happy to be praised.
“I’m so nice, shouldn’t you reward me with a few kisses?
"...I would like you better if you weren't so lewd."
"I don't want you to think I'm better, just think I'm good. Okay, stop talking, and kiss me."
"Can't you be serious?"
"Isn't it proper to marry your husband personally?"
"……serious."
"relative."
“…”
Zhou Yi now feels that he needs legal assistance more than the dead robber.
—
Let’s get this out of the way.
He kissed her over and over again, and even had a satisfying fight with her while kissing. Lei Li slept particularly soundly that night.
The next day, he woke up feeling energetic, practiced the boxing Zhou Yi taught him a few times in the yard, and then went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables.
Lei Li said something to Liu Ye'er and went to Miao Fulang's house.
Yesterday I hit Niu Dali on the head with a stone, and we agreed to give him some vegetables as apology.
——Of course, he also wanted to see if Niu Dali had taken his anger out on Miao Fulang, so that he could find an opportunity to beat Niu Dali again until he dared not to be implicated again.
When Zhou Yi woke up, Lei Li had already left, and his mother Liu Yeer asked him to come over for breakfast.
Liu Ye'er saw a bunch of red spots on Zhou Yi's neck, and that his face looked a little listless. He had made such a big fuss last night, and her face suddenly became full of pity.
She boiled an egg for Zhou Yi and said, "Take care of yourself... You're young and strong now, so you can do as much as you want. You'll realize the harm when you get older."
"OK."
Zhou Yi didn't understand but nodded.
The egg just hit the corner of the table, and after thinking about the current family situation, he asked again, "Did Lei Li eat the egg? Did you and Dad eat it too? Otherwise, I'll take a knife and divide it."
“No, no.”
Liu Yeer couldn't stop smiling. "Brother Li doesn't need eggs at his size. His father and I don't need them either. I'll save them for you two."
"……good."
Zhou Yi felt that this was a bit wrong.
Lei Li is in good health and doesn't need to eat. Mom and Dad don't need to eat either. Giving it to him is...
Do you think he is weak?
He is weak???
Zhou Yi opened his mouth, but felt that he had no way to argue. It would be weird if he argued, so he simply didn't eat the egg and put it in his pocket.
—
I didn’t go to the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs today.
Because I have to go to the county to deliver goods.
Before Zhou Yi came, Lei Li had actually accumulated some medicinal herbs, washed them, cut them into pieces and sections, and placed them on bamboo plates to dry.
In Lei Li's yard, the most common thing is the wooden racks for drying medicinal herbs. The more expensive ones are placed in one place, and the cheaper ones are placed in another.
There are five-fingered ginseng, kudzu root, jewelweed, honeysuckle, duckbill caltrop, liver-nourishing grass and plantain, etc. There are branches, leaves, fruits, as well as rhizomes and whole plants.
Lei Li wrapped the dried fruits in large dry leaves, tied them up with ropes, and then wrapped another sample. He then drew some symbols on a similar sample with charcoal.
This way you can tell what's inside without having to write or take it apart.
After wrapping them, they were all put into the backpack. The wild yam that I spent a lot of time digging yesterday was also washed. There were five pieces in total. The long ones were cut into two parts and put into the backpack.
Ready.
But the county is far away.
The journey of more than ten miles was mostly mountain roads. It would take an hour to walk up the mountain without taking an ox cart. Lei Li had to go to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart, and of course he had to pay some money this time.
not much.
Six cents a day is a preferential price given by the village chief, which is considered a good omen.
In order not to waste the ox cart, Liu Ye'er and Lei Dashan went up the mountain early to pick a basket of wild vegetables, including wild onions, wild leeks, deer ear leeks, wolfberry leaves, etc.
"There are few wild vegetables in the county. This is considered fresh. Share some with Doctor Cao and Brother Cao Gui, as well as Mr. Zhu and his brother."
"I know."
Lei Li nodded, put away a few backpacks, and set off for the county.
Zhou Yi didn't know how to drive an ox cart, so he just sat and watched Lei Li drive. "Is Doctor Cao a friend of Doctor Niu's from the pharmacy?"
"right."
Lei Li nodded, "Brother Cao Gui is Doctor Cao's son. He is the one who buys the herbs from the pharmacy. We will go to him to deliver the goods later."
"Mr. Zhu originally sold pork in town, so he was called Mr. Zhu. But he thought the word 'zhu' in pork sounded bad, so he paid someone to change it to 'zhu' as in 'zhumen'."
