C75

Ye Xuan leaned on a tree outside the courtyard, and his eyes met the gaze that Jiao Niang was currently looking for. When she saw him, she seemed to catch hold of hope as her eyes lit up with a smile.

Ye Xuan had never seen such a trusting gaze. He wished that he could hug her in a place with no one to love her.

He nodded and smiled at the lady, suppressing the fire in his heart as he walked into the courtyard, "Does this doctor know what kind of thing this vine leaf is?"

The tall man's voice was loud and powerful. It pierced through the clouds above the courtyard like a thunderclap. Everyone raised their heads to look at him.

The little girl was like a twenty-eight year old girl as she awaited Ye Xuan's next words. She didn't know why, but she had a feeling that Ye Xuan definitely knew about this!

"The vine itself is poisonous. Does this doctor know about it?" The doctor didn't answer Ye Xuan as Ye Xuan continued, "According to legend, when King Jing was fighting in the northwest, he had to cross the mountain to chase the enemy. Some people would meet him on the mountain, and because he had a red tumor growing on his root, they would think he was some kind of food. After eating it, his body would twitch and he would spew diarrhea. Afterwards, after he came out of the mountain, King Ping had always been thinking about this matter, so he let the military doctors find out how to cure the poison.

Seeing that everyone was paying attention, Ye Xuan intentionally kept everyone in suspense. Seeing that Lin Gangliang and his family were covered in sweat, he continued, "Later on, these doctors found out …"

"Shut up!" Lin Gang hastily interrupted him, "King Ping Jing is the current prince, how can this commoner talk about it without thinking?!"

Ye Xuan looked straight at him with a smile. "Then how did you know that the vine leaf could cure the vine's poison?"

There was an uproar, and the truth was revealed just like that!

The pug vine grew deep in the mountains, and those who went deep into the mountains to hunt were few in number. No one would come back to eat it, so how could they know that its roots were poisonous?

Lin Gangliang sat down on a chair in a daze. His plan that he thought was flawless had been exposed? No, that's not right. No one knew where the vine came from. He had long since destroyed everything.

Lin Gangliang raised his head again and laughed loudly. "Brother Ye Xuan is here to teach us a lesson. I just don't know where I can get some leaves to save my brother since this vine is deep in the mountains."

Ye Xuan's expression didn't change. "Yesterday, a Redbud Flower passenger ship came from the northwest."

Lin Gangliang's face went pale. He never thought that Ye Xuan would know so much more than he thought! How did he know so much? Suddenly, countless speculations appeared in his mind, but they were all overturned by him.

"This is impossible …" "Unless you also …" A moment later, he continued, "This matter is my Lin Family's fault. I shouldn't have been greedy and wanted the tofu recipe. I'm taking my family away right now and forgot that Brother Ye Xuan has forgotten about this matter!"

After which, he clasped his hands together, causing the crowd to be stupefied. What in the world was going on?

"Is it just moving that simple?"

Lin Gangliang's breath caught in his throat, "Then what else do you want?"

Ye Xuan smiled. His expression didn't change. "Pay up."

The situation suddenly reversed.

"If you don't compensate us with money, how are we going to calculate our losses after being played like monkeys for so long?"

"That's right, the festival was so unlucky. Why didn't they compensate each family with 10 taels of silver?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"You!" Lin Qiang almost vomited a mouthful of blood. He never thought that the usually honest and simple villagers would actually be so sly and shrewd!

"Give the money to Lin Yang. Give him as much as you want him to give you."

Ye Xuan crossed his arms as he patiently watched him prepare to do this. He didn't think that Lin Gangliang would only hesitate for a moment before entering the room to take the money.

A whole 10 taels of silver was put into Lin Yang-niang's hands. She held the money and felt it was too hot to hold her hand. She begged her son, but Lin Yang told her not to speak.

Everyone had not expected that Lin Gangliang, who had a belly full of bad luck, would actually listen obediently. Even Lin Qiang wanted to faint when he saw Lin Gangliang steal the chicken and give away the rice for free with 10 taels of silver. He was just about to scold his second son when he saw how his son's expression turned so grave that it looked as if ink was about to drip from his face.

Although Lin Gangliang was a yamen runner, he knew how much money a yamen runner had to pay. Every time he came back, those gifts were worth far more than the monthly money, not to mention the pair of gold bracelets he had given his mother.

Lin Qiang originally thought that his son was being greedy, so he openly and secretly beat him up. Lin Gangliang also only listened to what he should do. As time passed, Lin Qiang silently agreed and didn't linger any further on this matter.

But when he saw his son's expression, he knew that something else must have happened!

"Whatever, just give them the money. After all, we two old bones have long wanted to take care of this grandson of yours." Lin Qiang shook his head and entered the house with his hands at the back.

The matter ended in such a ridiculous way. Lin Gangliang's family drove them away with faces covered in dirt, but just at this moment, the curtains of the big room was suddenly opened. Lin Gangwei, who was lying on the bed a moment ago, had a pale face as he woodenly begged, "Fellow villagers, please don't go. Just stay here as a witness."

"Great Wei! Why did you come out! Why don't you just lie on the bed? " His mother quickly went to help him up. He turned his head to look at his mother and waved away the hand she extended to him.

"I want to split up. If you want to go to the county city, then go to the county city. Let's split up."

This was probably what Lin Gangwei felt, as he lay in a daze on the bed, thinking that he was about to die. But the medicine coming from his mother worked, and as he recovered, he also heard what was happening outside.

Lying on the bed in a daze, he finally came out and said these words.

Lin Gangwei looked at his brother, the brother he loved and protected in his own way. Back then, when his job as a bailiff was taken away, the villagers called him a fool. He explained with a smile that his brother was smart and suitable for this job. He had the strength to work, and that was good.

But what did his brother do to him? If he wanted to steal someone else's secret recipe, he would use the both of them as a joke. Thinking about how his younger brother would continue to feed him lunch, Lin Gangwei felt touched. He wished he could wake him up!

"I don't need anything else from our branch family. I don't care about anything else from now on. Let's live our separate lives. Don't ask anyone from now on!"

Lin Gang Wei roared with his red eyes, like a wounded beast, making people unable to bear to look at him.

"Big brother …" Lin Gangliang took a step forward, wanting to explain, but the words were stuck in his throat.

"What's wrong!" Do you want to rebel? " Lin Qiang came out of the room with a stick in his hand and pointed it at Lin Gangwei, "What are you doing!? "Come with us to the county, you don't even have to do farming!"

Lin Gangwei's chest heaved up and down. He turned around and looked at everyone in the room. Squatting on the floor, he hugged his head and cried, "Divide it, but!"

"F * ck your mother, no difference!" I'm not dead yet! What family is it! " Lin Qiang roared in rage and hit Lin Gangwei with the stick. Lin Gangwei did not struggle and allowed Lin Gangwei to hit him. After crying, he stood up abruptly and entered the house.

Not long after, he came out again with his wife in his arms. She was wrapped in a thin blanket as he walked out from the crowd.

When Lin Qiang saw him in such a state, he was so angry that he almost did not manage to catch his breath. Seeing him walk further and further away, Lin Qiang threatened loudly behind him, "If you walk out of this house, I won't even give you a cent!"

Lin Gangwei walked out of the house without even pausing.

It began like a farce, and the end of the play, and the novelty, and finally became the talk of the village for the next six months.

What she was concerned about now was what secrets did Ye Xuan possess that could not be revealed? Who was he? And why stay in such a small mountain village?

She had thought that he was just an ordinary hunter, but now she felt as if he was floating on top of her.
