When Father Xue saw Ye Xiaotian, he was furious. He snatched back the manure fork and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Get lost, if you come to my house again, I will break your legs."
Ye Xiaotian said, "Father-in-law, your son-in-law is now an Elementary Scholar, this status will not bring shame to your family, right?"
Father Xue was stunned and asked, "Elementary Scholar?"
Mao Wenzhi wiped away the duckweed on his face and said, "That's right, our Grand Preceptor has taken a liking to my brother's literary talent and has already appointed him as an Elementary Scholar. My brother is an Elementary Scholar, don't tell me he is not good enough for your daughter?"
Mother Xue was moved and quickly went to Father Xue's side. She gently tugged on his clothes and whispered, "Husband …"
When Father Xue heard that Ye Xiaotian had become an Elementary Scholar, he was indeed moved. But at the end of the day, he was a selfish person. Between his personal benefits and his daughter's marriage, he was more inclined towards his own benefits. So what if he was an Elementary Scholar? His family would not be exempted from taxes. His daughter marrying an Elementary Scholar would be a glorious thing. Could glory be used to make a living?
No matter how Father Xue thought about it, he felt that a person who could become a housekeeper in the Tian family and live in Guizhou would be of great help to him. Previously, he was also a housekeeper in the Master's household. Perhaps, through his son-in-law's introduction, he could get into the Tian family and become a housekeeper in the Tian family. Would Ye Xiaotian give him such an opportunity?
Father Xue steeled his heart and said sternly, "My daughter has long been betrothed to the Xie family. She is a member of the Xie family in life, and a ghost of the Xie family in death! You should give up on this idea. Not mentioning that you are an Elementary Scholar, even if you become a High Scholar or a Grand Scholar, or even a high-ranking official, you have nothing to do with the Xue family. Scram! "
Ye Xiaotian looked deeply at Shuiwu and said, "Is the fate of one's parents more important than one's life? I don't think that doing this is filial. My family has never had such a rule, and my father has never asked me to do so. But who dares to say that I am unfilial? Shuiwu, are you willing to leave with me? "
Tears welled up in Shuiwu's eyes as she looked at Ye Xiaotian, her lips trembling. How could she say the word 'no'? She did not feel it in the past, but after she left with Xiaotian, she felt that she could not bear it. She felt that she could not live without him. Now, she was filled with sorrow.
Father Xue was worried that she would say her hesitation and would say that she would say that to Xiaotian. She, Ye, Xiaotian, Xue. and Yu, Ye, Ye Ye, Tian, and Tian, Yu, and Ye, and would not. Ye, and Xue, and Ye Tian would Ye, Ye.
Father Xue immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Are you going to scram or not? Father Wang. Xue. Xue! "
Ye Xiaotian glanced at Papa Xue. He hated this man from the bottom of his heart, but what could he do? No matter what he did, he couldn't use it on this person, because he was Shuiwu's father. To others, he could be unscrupulous, but not to this person. Ye Xiaotian was not a person who followed the rules, but he was not a beast either.
"Since the Xue Family is not working, we can only think of a way through the Xie Family. I don't have to worry about the Xie Clan … "
Ye Xiaotian thought and slowly took two steps back. He looked at Shuiwu and said in a powerful voice, "Wait for me, I will be back!"
Hearing this sentence, Shui Wu's tears flowed down her cheeks.
…
Seeing Ye Xiaotian and Mao Wenzhi walking further and further away, Father Xue scolded his wife and daughter and returned to the house. Yang Santhin, Xing Erzhu, and Yue Ming came out from behind the willow tree.
Yang Santhin's chin was dripping with rainwater. He stared coldly at the Xue Family's house and said to Yue Ming, "We can't delay any longer. Let's rush in and kill Shuiwu when they are unprepared. Then we'll go back to the city and kill Le Yao when they are out for dinner. Then we'll go back to Jingzhou to receive our reward!"
Yue Ming lifted his lapel and happily took out a sharp knife, and was about to run forward. He had stolen this knife from a butcher's chopping board yesterday when the butcher wasn't paying attention. Yang Santhin pulled him back and scolded, "Idiot! Do you think you're a soldier killing a thief? You're doing this openly, cover your face first! "
Yue Ming sheepishly cut off a piece of lining from his clothes. Yang Santhin said to Xing Erzhu, "You go and help too. I'll stay here and keep a lookout!"
Xing Erzhu followed suit and cut off a piece of lining to cover his face. The two then sneaked into the Xue Family's house. The back wall of the Xue Family's house had already collapsed. The two didn't even need to climb over the wall to sneak into the Xue Family's house.
"Ha! I knew you wouldn't give up. Sure enough, you've come back! " Father Xue raised his manure fork and jumped out of the house's wall. He shouted, "Come quickly! Catch the thief! Come quickly! Catch the thief! "As he shouted, he excitedly pounced forward and swept the manure fork towards Yue Ming's waist.
"Bastard! You've come to my house time and time again and spoiled my Xue Family's reputation. I won't forgive you! Come quickly! Catch the thief! "Father Xue waved the manure fork vigorously and became more and more excited.
At first, Yue Ming was caught unprepared, but he was, after all, a person with martial arts skills. Once he steadied himself, Xue Papa was no match for him. Yue Ming seized the opportunity and dashed forward, throwing himself in front of Xue Papa. He grabbed his collar with one hand and ruthlessly stabbed the knife towards Xue Papa's heart.
"Pu!"
As the knife entered his body, Father Xue's excited and malevolent expression froze on his face. It gradually turned into fear. "You … you actually want to kill me?"
Father Xue had only waved the manure fork to injure the two masked men. He didn't dare to use the fork to stab them. However, he didn't expect the masked men to brazenly kill him.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die …"
Xue Papa looked at the sharp knife that pierced his heart, and the fear and despair in his eyes intensified. Yue Ming pushed him away fiercely, and was about to rush into the Xue family's back door with the knife when he heard the sound of a copper basin clanging. Someone shouted, "Catch the thief! Quick, catch the thief! "
Following that, a loud clamor could be heard. Father Xue's shout had already attracted the nearby neighbors. Even the family that had a conflict with his family heard that there was a thief. The old peddler led his three burly sons out with kitchen knives and rolling pins.
Seeing that the opportunity was lost, Yue Ming angrily stomped his feet and said to Xing Erzhu, "Retreat!"
"Catch the thief! There really is a thief! "
The villagers who ran over first saw the two masked men and turned pale with fright. At the same time, they raised their weapons and rushed towards them. Yue Ming and Xing Erzhu saw that the situation wasn't good and could only turn and run. Skinny Yang hid in the forest and saw this scene. He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "This piece of trash still dares to call himself an expert! Bullshit expert! "
Seeing that the entire village was about to be alarmed, Skinny Yang knew that the entire village would be searched for. His legs weren't as nimble as Yue Ming and Xing Erzhu, so he decided to be the first to run out of the village.
… …
When Ye Xiaotian and Mao Wenzhi returned to the inn, Ye Xiaotian's raincoat was still there. Only his trousers were wet. Mao Wenzhi's raincoat was floating in the pond behind the Xue Family's residence. He looked like a drowned rat. The innkeeper saw this and hurriedly asked someone to boil two bowls of ginger sugar water for them.
Ye Xiaotian thanked the innkeeper and asked, "Is Yaoyao alright?"
The innkeeper laughed, "Good! Very good. That lass is very obedient. She has been playing in her room and hasn't come out. Don't worry, the waiter is accompanying her. "
Ye Xiaotian thanked the innkeeper and walked to the guest room at the back with Mao Wenzhi. Mao Wenzhi returned to his room to change while Ye Xiaotian walked to his and Yaoyao's room. He pushed the door open and found that it was bolted. Ye Xiaotian knocked on the door and said, "Yaoyao, I'm back."
There wasn't any movement in the room. Ye Xiaotian thought that Yaoyao was playing with him. He shook his head and laughed, "Yaoyao, quickly open the door. I'll bring you to eat delicious food. "
Normally, as soon as Ye Xiaotian mentioned delicious food, Yaoyao would immediately respond. But today, for some reason, Yaoyao still didn't say a word. Only Fuwa's baby-like cries came from inside.
An ominous premonition appeared in Ye Xiaotian's heart. If Yaoyao was naughty and wanted to play with him, it wasn't impossible. But there was a waiter in the room. Why would a waiter play such a joke with a guest?
Ye Xiaotian was nervous. He knocked on the door again and shouted, "Waiter, quickly open the door!"
There was still no movement in the room. Instead, there was a scratching sound on the door. It must be Fuwa's claws. Ye Xiaotian was shocked and immediately took two steps back. His body slammed forward. With a "bang", the door was knocked down along with the door frame. The whole door was smashed into the room.
"Yaoyao? Yaoyao! "
Ye Xiaotian leaned against the door and raised his head. His pupils instantly shrank. He saw the waiter lying on the table motionlessly. On the table, there was a pool of blood slowly dripping down. Other than that, the room was empty. There was no trace of Yaoyao at all.
At this moment, Mao Wenzhi heard an earth-shattering loud noise. He immediately ran out from the room next door. He was used to being naked in prison. He had taken off his clothes in his room and hadn't changed yet. When he heard the loud noise, he immediately ran out naked.
A female guest in the opposite room heard the noise and opened the door. Suddenly, she saw a naked man running past her. She couldn't help but scream. She hurriedly covered her eyes. Her five fingers quietly separated and flashed a gap. She looked at the naked man's back and said, "His butt is quite sturdy …"
Mao Wenzhi ran into Ye Xiaotian's room naked. He looked around and said in shock, "What happened? Ah! Why is the waiter dead? Where's Yaoyao? "
At this moment, the door suddenly flipped up. Ye Xiaotian, who was lying there in a daze, was pushed to the side. Fuwa crawled out from under the door. His big butt was on the ground, and he used his two front paws to rub his head. Mao Wenzhi immediately asked Fuwa, "Tell me, where did Yaoyao go? Tell me! If you don't tell me, I'll … Why are you scratching me? You … F * ck, I'm not wearing any clothes! "
Mao Wenzhi raised his head and saw that there were already many guests outside looking in. He quickly rushed to the bed and pulled over a bedsheet. He quickly wrapped it around his body. After a moment, it became a piece of clothing. No matter how he looked at it, he looked like a Japanese ronin.
Ye Xiaotian was suddenly awakened by Fuwa. He rushed to the table and dipped his hand into the pool of blood. He said in a deep voice, "He didn't die long ago. Let's go after him!"
"Okay!"
Mao Wenzhi didn't bother to change his clothes. He put on the bedsheet and followed them with his two big hairy legs.
