The Wu Dynasty, like many dynasties, adopted a policy of obscuring the people, which was to prevent the people from being too smart. The dumber the people, the better the management.
Once the people know too much and develop their wisdom, they may shake the ruler's position.
That night, many people in Wolong Village could not sleep.
The situation where Yun Chao led his men to beat Lai Zhicheng and his son was so unbelievable that it made many villagers realize that we ordinary people are not just pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, and we can also live with our heads up!
So, on this night, many villagers made up their minds to let their boys work with Yun Chao, so that no one named Lai would dare to bully them in the future!
Those who couldn't sleep also relied on family members. One was because they were scared, and the other was because they were angry.
When Lai Zhicheng learned that his eldest son had been caught in a bandit's den, Lai Zhicheng's wife was paralyzed on the spot. She sat on the ground and started crying.
"You damn old bastard, you told me not to show off, but you insist on showing off. Just sell those fish to Yun Er and let him sell them. You just want to take your two sons into the city. Now, what should I do? ah……"
Lai Zhicheng also regretted it terribly. If he had known this would happen, why would he have to compete with Yun Er? Just make less. Isn't it good to have a steady stream of water?
How wonderful it would be if it wasn't me who entered the city today, but that little brat Yun Er, and he was the one who encountered the bandits!
Thinking of Yun Chao's encounter with bandits, Lai Zhicheng couldn't help but want to laugh out loud...
Well!
Before he could laugh out loud, Lai Zhicheng returned to reality. How could he have known so much earlier!
Yun Er!
It’s all Yun Er’s fault!
Not only did he encounter bandits, he also embarrassed himself in front of the whole village!
After losing such a big face and being pushed to the ground and rubbed by Yun Er's gang, how could I, a Muramasa, face anyone in the future?
Can those mud-legged people still be as obedient as before?
The more he thought about it, the angrier Lai Zhicheng became, and the more he thought about it, the more worried Lai Zhicheng became.
No, Yun Er must die, otherwise he will not be able to speak well in the village in the future.
As for the benefits that Yun Chao brought to him by opening up wasteland on the north bank of Wolong Valley, he couldn't care less!
…
The next day, a group of boys came earlier than usual.
Yun Chao was startled.
These boys all have bright eyes and are full of energy. Why do they look like they have been injected with chicken blood?
At the beginning of training, Yun Chao was even more delighted. He changed from passive to active. Each one practiced harder than the other, for fear of falling behind others!
Okay, very good, military morale is available!
Yun Chao didn't realize that his boy had broken some kind of shackles, and he himself had actually broken some kind of shackles.
Ever since he traveled to the Wu Dynasty, he had always been cautious and did things with his tail between his legs, fearing that he would do something extraordinary and cause trouble that he could not solve.
After experiencing what happened last night, Yun Chao understood a truth. The power of the Dawu Dynasty government was not that terrible, and its control over the people was far from as powerful as the Celestial Kingdom in his previous life!
He led his men to beat Lai's father and son, and also beat Lai Zhicheng's wife. After a night, there was no retaliation. After a morning, no one named Lai came to report to the police.
Report to the official?
Don't be ridiculous, Lai Zhicheng wouldn't dare to do that.
Fear of Yun Chao was only part of the story, the main reason was that he didn't want to deal with the government.
Even though he is a village masa, in the eyes of the official, he is no different from an ordinary mud-legged guy.
The yamen door opens to the south. If you have no money, don't come in.
Those officials don't care whether you are the plaintiff or the defendant. They will eat the plaintiff and eat the defendant, and they will never give up until both parties are defeated!
Yun Chao was so happy that he asked Aunt Wang and Lin Youniang to add a few more kilograms of meat at noon, which made the mouths of all the boys drip with oil!
After eating a meal of meat, some of the boys who were a little worried about what happened last night were completely relieved. After all, Lai Zhicheng's accumulated power was too great for everyone to sneer at him all at once.
After the meal, Yun Chao asked everyone to drink a bowl of bitter water. The boys were so disgusted that they almost vomited out what they had eaten.
"Brother Chao, what is this? It tastes terrible?"
"This is what you picked this morning. Drink it. It will cure your blindness."
"Ah? Is this water made from pine needles?"
During training last night, Yun Chao discovered that the boys under him were more or less night blind.
Although it is not too serious, it still has a certain impact.
After completing the training mission in the morning, Yun Chao asked a few boys to collect some pine needles and boil them into water for them to drink.
Pine needles are the leaves of pine trees. They are rich in substances such as chlorophyll, vitamin A and anthocyanins. These ingredients can be absorbed and utilized by the human body after being soaked in water. They can directly act on the human optic nerve and retina, promote the development of the optic nerve and prevent Decreased retinal function can significantly regulate blurred vision and vision loss, as well as night blindness and eye fatigue.
Not only his subordinates drank, but Yun Chao himself drank too.
At the same time, Yun Chao did not let Lin Youniang and Aunt Wang go. Everyone, including Xiao Guo, wanted to drink.
Xiaoguo was still small, holding a bowl of bitter pine needle water and grinning while drinking.
However, the little girl was very smart and knew who had the final say here. When she saw Yun Chao looking at her, she immediately pretended not to care and drank heartily.
Yun Chao touched Xiaoguo's head: "Well done Xiaoguo, you are so brave. I will buy you some candies next time I go to town."
Hearing Yun Chao praise himself, Xiao Guo got even more excited and drank faster than anyone else.
As for the sugar Yun Chao mentioned?
What it is?
It must be delicious, right?
"Second brother, what is candy?" Finally, the little girl couldn't help but ask.
Yun Chao was stunned. He didn't expect that Xiaoguo didn't even know what candy was. He was such a poor child.
Touching Xiao Guo's head, Yun Chao smiled and said, "You'll know next time I come back from the city."
"Okay, second brother!" The little girl's eyes were bright and full of yearning.
Seeing this scene, Aunt Wang's eyes became moist.
My poor child has lost his father at such a young age. He doesn’t even know what candy is, let alone eating sweets. How pitiful he is!
At the same time, Aunt Wang was also full of gratitude to Yun Chao. If she hadn't met Brother Chao, her whole family might not have been able to survive this winter!
When she thought of how her little daughter was crying from hunger some time ago, Aunt Wang could no longer hold back her tears and fell down like a broken pearl.
Yun Chao was stunned. He didn't know why Aunt Wang was crying. Is there anything wrong with touching her daughter's head?
"Shitou, go talk to Lai Zhicheng's helper and tell Lai Zhicheng that I'm going to the city in two days and ask them to seize the time to fish. If Lai doesn't want to do it, we can do it ourselves."
As soon as she heard that Yun Chao was going to the city again, Lin Youniang's expression immediately changed: "Ah? Second brother, didn't you say there are bandits? What should you do if you encounter bandits?"
