Eastern: I love doing good things

Chapter 20: Chapter 19 :Living humbly yet tenaciously



Wu Haisheng's clothes did not fit Fang Yuan properly. Jiang Su'e searched the cabinet for a long time before finding a gray shirt that had been washed white.

"This is the clothes my father wore when he was alive. If adults don't mind... "Jiang Su'e said apologetically.

"It's okay, "Fang Yuan replied nonchalantly. The clothes of the dead, he had worn them before, and the one on his body at this moment was originally left by his predecessor.

Next, Fang Yuan received warm hospitality from the couple. He took a simple shower first, washing away the bloodstains on his body. After changing his clothes, Wu Hai brought a bowl of steaming Wonton.

"My craftsmanship is not as good as that of a large restaurant, and the Wonton made may not be to the taste of adults. I hope adults will make do with it." Wu Haisheng rubbed his hands and said nervously.

Fang Yuan picked up a Wonton and put it into his mouth. Then he smiled: "It tastes great." He was speaking honestly. Although the taste of this Wonton is not as good as that of the previous life, it is rare to have such a taste considering that it is ancient and the ingredients are scarce.

After swallowing a Wonton, Fang Yuan paused and waited quietly. The intention to harm others cannot exist, and the intention to prevent others cannot be absent. Although Jiang Su'e and her husband were grateful beyond words, Fang Yuan was still on guard.

It's not that he controls the belly of a gentleman with a petty heart, but rather the actions of the two county captains before, which taught him a profound lesson.

Fortunately, what Fang Yuan was worried about did not happen. After eating a Wonton, his blood bar was still stable. Not only did it not decrease, but his blood returning speed increased.

It seems that eating can accelerate the rate of blood return... "This can be considered a pleasant surprise. After confirming that Wonton is non-toxic, Fang Yuan opens his stomach and eats it.

Soon, a bowl of Wonton bottomed out. Wu Haisheng had a keen eye and deftly served another bowl to Fang Yuan.

While Fang Yuan was dining, Jiang Su'e chatted about her background on the side, allowing Fang Yuan to have a better understanding of the couple.

Jiang Su'e was originally from out of town. Two years ago, she moved with her parents and planned to seek refuge with relatives in Changqing County. Unexpectedly, he encountered bandits on the way and his parents were brutally killed. It was Wu Haisheng who came to his rescue.

At that time, Wu Haisheng was still a warrior. He single handedly killed several bandits, but his left leg was also injured by the bandits, leaving him disabled and extremely difficult to move.

Jiang Su'e was grateful and took on the responsibility of taking care of Wu Haisheng, and the two of them came together as a result.

Wu Haisheng gave up practising martial arts due to injury and sold Wonton instead. Due to the inconvenience of legs and feet, he had to wrap Wonton at home, adjust the seasoning, and then Jiang Su'e picked it out for sale.

Although the days were simple and miserable, they were also happy. One day, Zhao Jing, who had nothing to do but go shopping, met Jiang Su'e, a Wonton seller, on the street.

The nightmare began here. Wu Haisheng once protected his wife, but was unable to protect her for the second or third time... Jiang Su'e gathered her courage and tearfully recounted that unforgettable past.

Wu Haisheng arched his body and curled up in the shadow cast by the stove.

I'm just a useless waste... "Wu Haisheng, who had been silent for a long time, whispered in a low voice, deliberately avoiding Fang Yuan with his eyes full of inferiority and anger. His inferiority complex may be due to the feeling that he is too incompetent compared to Fang Yuan; His anger stems from being a husband who cannot protect his wife and can only rely on others...

But in Fang Yuan's view, Wu Haisheng is not a useless person. He is a brave man who has done his best. It's not him who's wrong, but this world.

If Fang Yuan didn't have a golden finger, he would probably have gone to hell at the beginning. This is not an era where one person is destined to win, at least for ordinary people, without amazing adventures, it is difficult for the lower class to make a comeback.

Fang Yuan intended to comfort the two of them, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back. Like drinking water, one knows its warmth and coldness, but how effective can the comfort of others be?

The atmosphere inside the room became increasingly heavy. Suddenly, a rapid banging of the door broke the silence, accompanied by several people's roars: "Open the door, open it quickly!"

The couple suddenly became nervous, and Wu Haisheng said as soon as possible, "Wife, take the adults to the second floor to hide, I'll take care of it

Okay! "Jiang Su'e immediately responded, casting a pleading glance at Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan quickly stood up.

The door opened, and outside stood three fierce yamen officials.

"Why did it take so long to open the door? "One of the constables asked.

Dear gentlemen, I'm really sorry, my legs and feet are inconvenient... "Wu Haisheng explained awkwardly, pointing to his disabled leg.

When Wu Haisheng explained, three constables had already squeezed into the room. The leading constable was not polite and waved his hand, "Search for me!"

Don't, don't! "Wu Haisheng quickly stopped," Hey guys, why is this happening? Why did you suddenly search my house

"This morning, Councillor Han Jinrong and his family were killed. The murderer is still at large. The Supervisor of the County has ordered that all residents in the county be searched door to door!"

How could such a thing happen?! "Wu Haisheng pretended to be frightened." How dare I hide such a vicious criminal! The police officers are searching my house, even if it's a waste of effort!"

What you say doesn't count, "the leading yamen sneered, looking at Wu Haisheng with a troubled expression. The conversation changed and he sighed," Hey, we were also ordered to act, we didn't want to do this.

Everyone is a fellow villager, it's not good to have a falling out. Brothers have run to dozens of households, tired and thirsty. They only have a little money in a month and have to run around like dogs...."

The chief constable said a lot, and Wu Haisheng just nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes...."

Seeing that Wu Haisheng didn't seem to understand the meaning, the yamen frowned and said, "You still don't understand? Then I really searched. If you accidentally smash something in your house, don't blame me!"

Oh, my dear, I understand just by saying that. "Wu Haisheng slapped his head, took out a hanging copper coin from his arms, and stuffed it into the hands of the yamen." You guys have been working hard on the case, this small gesture is not worthy of respect. Why don't we have a cup of tea first to quench our thirst

The three yamen officials who received the money immediately smiled and had no intention of drinking tea. They turned around and walked towards the next household, continuing their journey of "making money".

Fang Yuan on the second floor could hear the movements downstairs clearly, and his heart was cold. Indeed, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Officials make things difficult for the people, but their subordinates are not much better.

But Fang Yuan suppressed his inner impulse and launched a killing spree at this moment, which will only affect this couple. These Yamen runners are just minions. The Supervisor of the County is the real "big fish".

Shoot people first, shoot horses first, capture thieves first, capture kings!
