Foolish Fourth?
In ancient times, a man would have many wives and concubines by the age of sixteen. Zhang Daqi looked like he was at least thirty. His ugly and unmarried appearance would naturally attract all kinds of gossip in the village. Moreover, his father was in a delirious state. Which girl would be willing to marry him?
Ji Yunshu felt pity for him and looked at Jing Rong who was sitting beside her.
This guy was almost twenty-five years old and didn't have a wife or concubine. He wasn't much better than Zhang Daqi.
After Village Head Zhang finished talking about Old Zhang, he immediately stopped talking and didn't disturb them anymore.
At this time, it was still raining heavily outside.
The sky had also turned completely dark.
The capital governor pondered for a moment before bowing to Jing Rong. He frowned and whispered in Jing Rong's ear, "Your Highness, it looks like we won't be able to leave today. The rain won't stop anytime soon, and it's already dark outside."
"What do you mean?"
"I guess we have to stay tonight."
Anyway, we can't leave!
Jing Rong was silent for a moment. He turned the teacup in his hand and said, "Let's see how it goes."
Leave if you can.
"Yes."
The capital governor nodded and returned to his original position.
At this time …
Suddenly, a man of seventeen or eighteen years of age rushed in from the gate. He was drenched from head to toe, tall and skinny like a bamboo. His clothes were ragged and tattered, and his hair was messy and fluffy, covering most of his dirty face. Vaguely, a pair of black eyes and a pair of dried and bloody lips could be seen. The man's neck was shrunk, and his ten fingers, which were covered in dirt, were constantly scratching his exposed neck and shoulders. His skin was covered in bloody scratches, and some of them were festering, looking very disgusting. Dark blood slowly flowed down along with the rainwater on his body.
From top to bottom, it flowed on the uneven ground.
His shoes were full of holes and the soles of his feet seemed to be stepping on the ground.
What was even more strange was that when this man entered, his dry lips cracked open and he laughed.
His mouth was even dripping with saliva.
This man …
The villagers in the ancestral hall all looked at him with disgust. Some even avoided his eyes and covered their mouths, almost vomiting.
But …
Jing Rong, Ji Yunshu, Jing Yi and Wen Shisan looked at the man inquisitively.
They were very curious!
Village Chief Zhang hurriedly came over, stretched out his hand in front of him, and shouted, "Sha Si, what are you doing here? Hurry up and leave …"
They wanted to chase him away!
The man called Sha Si was still laughing.
He refused to move.
"Let's go! What are you giggling about? "
"Hehe …"
"If you don't leave, I'll beat you up."
Despite Village Chief Zhang's threats, Sha Si still refused to go out.
The Village Head, who had lost his patience, gritted his teeth. However, due to the presence of the two princes, he did not dare to fly into a rage. He could only find two sturdy villagers to drive him out.
"Wait," Jing Rong said.
He stopped trying to chase them away.
Village Chief Zhang was puzzled and bowed. "Your Highness?"
"It's raining so heavily outside. Aren't you sending him to his death by throwing him out?"
"But Sha Si is like this. I'm worried that he will offend His Highness."
"He's an evil person?"
"No."
"A traitor?"
"No."
One question and one answer!
Jing Rong said solemnly, "Since he's not, why would he offend this prince? This ancestral hall is so spacious, can't it accommodate one person? "
Ah!
Village Chief Zhang was nervous.
He quickly said, "No, Your Highness, look at Sha Si." His face was full of disgust. "He has no parents and is usually crazy. His clothes are all tattered because of his scratches. What if …"
"There is no what if!"
Jing Rong directly denied.
Jing Rong's eyes darkened. He looked at the silly Sha Si who continued to scratch his neck and said, "People's illnesses cannot be controlled by themselves. Even if he is from the same village as you, it's fine if you don't sympathize with him. But in this rainy weather, when everyone is suffering, you still want to drive him out. As a village chief, you should solve the villagers' problems, not throw them away and ignore them."
His tone was calm.
However, it was clear that it was a warning.
Village Chief Zhang was speechless. He was stunned for a while before his mouth twitched. "Yes, yes, yes, His Highness is right." After saying that, he moved to the side and said to Sha Si amiably, "Sha Si, His Highness wants you to stay, but you must not cause trouble. Just stay inside obediently."
"Hehe."
Sha Si tilted his head, not listening to his words. His bloody fingers slowly brushed away the hair covering his face. Suddenly, he took two steps forward and laughed foolishly at the silent Jing Yi.
That smile was very terrifying.
Jing Yi was not afraid and directly met his gaze.
It was as if he could see through the fool's thoughts.
"What do you want?"
"Stone … stone."
"Stone?"
Sha Si stretched out his hand and pointed at the round jade pendant on his waist.
He continued to grin, and his saliva continued to drip down.
Jing Yi looked down at his belt and understood the fool's meaning. He hooked his lips and pulled the jade pendant off his waist, hooking his finger and shaking it.
He wanted to tease him!
"You want this?"
"Stone. “
"This is not a stone."
"Stone."
"Good. Come here, I'll give it to you." Jing Yi stretched his hand forward.
Sha Si's black eyes shone. His hands circled in front of his chest for a while, then he moved forward and reached for it.
His fingers were covered in dirt and blood.
As soon as he touched the jade pendant, Jing Yi withdrew his hand and held it in his hand.
"Stone, stone …"
"Fool, this Prince's thing is not a stone."
"Ahhhh!"
Sha Si began to panic.
Jing Yi was very happy, his face perverted.
"Stone … stone …"
He kept yelling.
Village Head Zhang hurriedly pulled his clothes. "If you do this again, I'll throw you out."
"Ah … stone …"
He kept looking at the jade pendant in Jing Yi's hand.
Seeing this.
Ji Yunshu hurriedly said, "Come here."
She beckoned.
Sha Si looked over.
He saw Ji Yunshu pull off a bead from her waist.
She placed it in her palm.
"Can I give you this stone?" she asked.
Sha Si nodded and ran over, quickly snatching the bead from her hand.
It was a treasure!
"Stone, it's mine, mine …"
It's yours, no one will take it from you.
Only then did he sit down on the innermost floor, satisfied.
Ji Yunshu felt sorry for him. It was already the most tragic thing for a person to be so ill, and now he was being despised. If his parents were still alive, they would be even more heartbroken.
Jing Yi sneered disdainfully, throwing out a sentence.
"What a kind person!"
Boring.
After a while, she saw Zhang Daqi come out dejectedly, his hands tightly rubbing together.
He was probably … worried about his father's health.
In fact, this person was indeed a filial son!
