Chapter 62 Tuanzi Appears
An outsider feels pity for him, but you who have received favors from the Yi family not only take advantage of him, but also turn a blind eye to him. Can you all live with your conscience?
Zhuang Shouren suddenly thought of this sentence, but he refuted it in his heart the next second. Let's not talk about the class background issue, the Yi family is a wealthy landlord and should be overthrown! And the Yi family did not take care of the villagers. They worked hard and the Yi family paid them. This is natural! They have done their best for the Yi family...
Yi Chi saw a puzzled look on Captain Zhuang's face and couldn't figure out what he meant, so he could only stand there quietly and wait for him to come back to his senses.
Zhuang Shouren thought of the exploitation his parents had talked about, then of the shelter the Yi family had given to refugees from other places during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and then of the piece of land where not even a house was left, and he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
Yi Chi waited and waited, thinking about hunting for Jiang Yu for lunch, and suddenly he could hardly stand.
"What else do you have to say?" Zhuang Shouren came back to his senses and saw Yi Chi still standing in front of him. His expression was uncontrollably distorted and his tone suddenly became a little unfriendly.
Yi Chi originally wanted to talk about the beams. He was reluctant to use the wood from the back mountain. These were the memories his grandparents left him. However, when he saw Zhuang Shouren's attitude change, he pursed his lips and finally shook his head, "It's okay."
"Then go ahead. As for the kang, I'll get someone to do it for you once your house is built. But you have to pay them. It's up to you whether it's work points or money." Zhuang Shouren took a deep breath, calmed down, and spoke calmly.
"Okay." Yi Chi lowered his eyes, turned and left.
His mood, which had improved slightly because of Zhuang Shouren's kindness, fell again. Those past memories came flooding back to his mind.
"Sixth brother, my grandson is still young. He has done nothing wrong. He was just born in our family. Please don't make things difficult for him..." Grandpa Yi's voice was hoarse. His words contained too many emotions, hatred and regret, but more of them were his worries for his grandson. He held a hemp rope in his hand and took a last look at his precious grandson. He said, "Take away any of our things that you think are useful. I only ask you to give my grandson a chance to live, give him a meal, and leave a trace of blood in our Yi family."
The still young Sixth Master lowered his eyes and dared not look at him. He gritted his teeth, held Yi Chi tightly in his hands, and held him in his arms to prevent him from seeing the situation in the house. "We promise you." He was one of the main forces who came to confiscate the property this time, and he was also a native of the village, so he could make the decision.
When the others saw that he agreed, they didn't say anything. They just glanced greedily at the furnishings in the house, waiting for the master of the house to die, and then they would pounce in like jackals, tigers and leopards.
Although Yi Chi couldn't see, he could hear. He was locked in Sixth Master's arms, shouting "Grandpa" at the top of his lungs, but there was no response.
Grandpa Yi was hanged on the beam at home with a hemp rope. The beam is now in the old house of Zhuang Shouren's parents. How could he think that Zhuang Shouren was innocent just because he was not in the village when the accident happened? Yi Chi felt that he was too stupid.
The farmer and the snake, this sentence was used by Uncle San to describe the relationship between the Yi family and the villagers.
Yi Chi stopped and turned to look at the foot of the mountain. Sixth Master was the elder in the village and lived in the most spacious blue brick house. How many of those bricks had he touched when he was a child? Yi Chi couldn't remember clearly, but he always remembered the pair of hands pressing on the back of his head, so hard that he and his grandfather were separated forever.
What a waste. Yi Chi scolded himself. How could he forget the past just because of one person's kindness? Besides, that person had nothing to do with the village. The people in the village had committed a crime and owed him a debt that he would never be able to repay in this lifetime!
Look, even Captain Zhuang, the fair man praised by everyone, has forgotten the kindness they showed him when they were young! They enjoyed the protection of the Yi family, but forced the Yi family to death, seized the Yi family's treasures, and threw him on the mountain to fend for himself. They ignored him coldly but thought that not abusing him was the most righteous thing they could do? Ridiculous!
Jiang Yu can't be allowed to display his talent in the village. These people don't deserve Jiang Yu's kindness! Yi Chi thought of that soft-hearted person, and the malice in his body and heart finally subsided.
But what should be done? They are just casual acquaintances at present.
Yi Chi went into the mountains and found the small valley where the silly roe deer liked to gather. He carefully selected a young roe deer from there and killed it ruthlessly.
He squatted by the stream and skinned a roe deer, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
A fire was built by the stream, and Yi Chi began to roast one of the hind legs of a roe deer. The dagger cut through the flesh, and the flames licked it. Soon the aroma of the meat coated with spices and oil wafted away.
A big yellow cat jumped out of the woods.
"Ah?" The lynx's pointed black tufts of hair shook, and its big feet stepped on the muddy ground, landing silently, leaving only round claw marks.
Yi Chi was so focused on how to establish a deep friendship with Jiang Yu that he didn't notice the big cat lurking behind him.
The lynx stretched out its claws and slapped Yi Chi on the back of the head, but controlled its nails and did not hurt him.
"Tuanzi?" Yi Chi was almost pushed into the fire and immediately broke out in a sweat. He turned around and glared at the big cat behind him, "Are you attacking me by surprise?" He took advantage of the big cat's complacency, exerted force, pounced on it, stretched out his hands and began to rub its fur vigorously.
Tuanzi fell on his back on the ground, mumbling softly, with his limbs resting on Yi Chi, without resisting.
After Yi Chi vented his anger, he laid on its chest and whispered, "Tuanzi, tell me, how can I make friends with girls?"
"Awooo?" The big cat didn't understand, so it lay on its back with its arms and legs spread out, making a purring sound from its chest, showing that it was in a good mood.
Yi Chi sighed, rubbed its chest hair, then calmed himself down, stood up and continued grilling the meat.
The lynx turned over, lay down on his butt, tilted his head to look at the barbecue, sniffed the aroma with his nose, and felt the saliva in his mouth being secreted faster.
"This is for me to make friends, not for you to eat." Yi Chi emphasized childishly.
Tuanzi understood and said, "No food will be given to you." Every time Yi Chi said this, he was about to snatch the food from it. It reached out and slapped him on the leg, "You dog, you want to steal my food again?"
Yi Chi fought back, then turned the barbecue over, "Give it to the ginger fish, not the dumplings."
Lynx immediately jumped up and blocked his shot, "Are you trying to make trouble, kid?"
Yi Chi also jumped up and started to fight with it, muttering, "No food for you, no food for you..."
Jiang Yu smelled the fragrance and walked up the mountain. He watched Yi Chi playing with the lynx from afar. He finally understood where the footprints he found on the outskirts when he came here to improve his food last time came from.
The lynx suddenly leaned down and made an attacking posture for hunting, "Woo——" it whispered threateningly.
Yi Chi also reacted immediately, holding a dagger in his hand and preparing to climb the tree.
Seeing this, Jiang Yu had no choice but to interrupt him, "Yi Chi."
Yi Chi stopped and turned to look, "How did you get here?" He was pleasantly surprised and shocked, as this was deep in the mountains.
Jiang Yu came to see the wood she had soaked. She smelled a faint fragrance from afar and came to see what was going on. She didn't expect that it was Yi Chi who was grilling meat here. "Nothing, you go ahead, I'll go turn the wood over." After saying that, she turned and left.
