"Take it, I don't like this thing."
The woman still wanted to pull her, but Zheng Xiong didn't give her a chance and turned around to leave. Several strong men and minor officials followed closely behind her.
Several young men looked at Zheng Xiong leaving calmly and couldn't help but sigh.
"This young man from a rich family is different. He doesn't want so much fish even if he doesn't want it. He leaves so much fish to dry that we can eat for several days."
"What's good about it, you're used to seeing it, it's not just those few people who can catch it. Without them, what can he catch? When we grow up, we will be no worse than them."
"Don't say a few words. There are so many fishes that can't stop your mouths. Without him, how could you get so many fishes? You should remember that it may be a small matter to them, but it is a kindness to us. When we meet the person in the future, You have to thank those who are grateful, you know?”
After being scolded by their eldest sister, the young men immediately became confused.
"I understand, sister."
The weather in June of the lunar calendar and July and August of the Gregorian calendar changes at a moment's notice. A dark cloud drifted into the sky that was clear just a moment ago, and the sky immediately turned gloomy.
The woman quickly greeted several young men.
"Hurry up, look at the weather, it's going to rain soon, pack your things and go home."
Without further ado, a few people did not dare to delay and quickly packed their things.
There was nothing, just more fish in the fish basket. The older ones took the fish basket with the fish in it, and each person took two of the remaining fish baskets and hurried back.
The siblings, who had not taken a few steps, met Zheng Xiong and the others who were running back.
The eldest sister looked at Zheng Xiong and said.
"Young master, what else can you do? Did you leave something behind and throw it here? We need help from our siblings."
Zheng Xiong said helplessly and slightly embarrassed.
"That's not true. It's just that it's quite far away from the city. I forgot about this all the way and forgot to bring an umbrella. It's about to rain. I came back to ask if your home is far away. Can I go first? Come and take shelter from the rain.”
Although Zheng Xiong had just given a few people a good feeling, and after spending the whole afternoon together, they didn't glare at each other, but he still had to be wary of a stranger.
However, the rain gradually began to fall, and the siblings couldn't help but think too much.
"Then young master, come with me. The house is humble and simple. I'm afraid I will neglect the young master."
"Why are you being negligent? I'm thankful to have a place to protect myself from the wind and rain. It's not that important."
"Master, please follow me."
The group of people trotted all the way. Zheng Xiong saw that the young men were struggling to carry the fish baskets, so he quickly asked the strong bodyguards to take over.
There were bursts of thunder, but fortunately it was not far away. Before the heavy rain fell, we reached the woman's home.
Zheng Xiong looked at this so-called home. It couldn't be compared to simplicity, and it was better than a cowshed. Two thatched houses with yellow mud on the outside were the residences of these siblings.
As I walked closer to the house, it started to drizzle with the heavy downpour. The few people who entered the house were unable to stretch their legs.
The woman went to the stove, lit the fire, put a few slices of ginger on it, boiled the hot water, put it into a bowl, and asked a few boys to give it to Zheng Xiong and others.
Zheng Xiong took the ginger tea, and several strong bodyguards looked at Zheng Xiong, stunned on the spot, forgetting that Zheng Xiong was a little uncomfortable.
"It all depends on what I do. I'm so kind. Just drink it for you!"
With Zheng Xiong's approval, several strong bodyguards picked up the ginger tea and sipped it slowly. Only the clerk was a little uncomfortable.
The clerk is a scholar and not a big official, but this place is really shabby. Even though the bowls and chopsticks filled with ginger water seem to be fine, there is always an instinct in the heart to resist. It's just because of Zheng Xiong's presence. In front of me, I dare not say anything.
Seeing that Zheng Xiong was already drinking ginger tea, even though the clerk was reluctant, he could only drink with him, taking small sips.
Several young men also stood on the other side with several bowls of ginger tea, waiting for the water to cool down before taking a few sips.
The two groups finished drinking the ginger tea, and the scene fell into silence, indifferent and speechless.
Zheng Xiong didn't have much to say. He was a man of few words. He could strike hard on the Internet, but in reality he couldn't say more than two sentences.
If Zheng Xiong didn't speak, of course the younger brothers wouldn't speak, and the people on the other side wouldn't say much.
Suddenly a group of people broke into his peaceful life, and he just wanted to send them away as soon as possible to avoid causing extra trouble.
After the elder sister made ginger tea and kept the cold away for a few people, she packed up the small fish, briefly scraped the fish and put it into the pot to cook. As for the internal organs, it didn't matter, they could be counted as food and they wouldn't kill anyone.
The rain was pouring down, with no intention of stopping for a while, and the sky was getting darker and darker.
A few young men couldn't sit still at this time. The place was too small and they couldn't live there at night. If they didn't leave, how could so many people sleep? If they had to stay for a meal, those strong men were worried. tight.
He walked up to his eldest sister and said loudly on purpose.
"Sister, it's raining heavily and they haven't left yet. Let's make something to eat."
"Sister, we haven't eaten at noon. It's time to eat. We only have a little food. I'm afraid we won't be full. If they don't leave, we can't treat them to a meal."
"You are hungry. I will make some food for you. Although there is no rice, the small fish kang is about the same. Each person can eat a few fish to fill their stomachs. The master has given a lot of fish, so I have to give them to them. Prepare something, you know?”
The boys were a little reluctant, but they had to listen to the elder sister's words. They all lowered their heads after hearing the words and didn't say anything more.
Zheng Xiong was a little embarrassed. He probably wouldn't have enough to eat at night. He relied on lunch and dinner for three meals a day. Breakfast was random. The habits he brought from his previous life were well preserved in this life. Being hungry would kill him.
He walked to the stove and asked the woman.
"Um, excuse me today. I wonder if the girl has an umbrella at home that we can lend to us or sell to me."
The woman was sitting behind the stove and raised her head when she heard Zheng Xiong's words.
With the faint light of the fire, the blurred woman's face was a little different from that of the day. Small pieces of dead skin fell off her face, and her skin tone seemed to be whiter, not so scorched.
Seeing Zheng Xiong staring at her, the woman followed Zheng Xiong's gaze and touched her face, then lowered her head.
"We don't have any umbrellas. Even if we get one or two for you, there are several of you, so they probably won't be of much use. Besides, it's getting dark, so why don't you, sir, rest here and leave early tomorrow morning."
Before Zheng Xiong could speak, several young men suddenly became anxious again and spoke loudly.
"Sister, we are all sleeping a little reluctantly. With a few more people, how will we sleep?"
"Yes, it's impossible to sleep with so many people."
Given this situation, the woman was in a bit of a dilemma.
Seeing the unhappy looks on the faces of the few young men, and the fact that there was no umbrella and the rain outside had not stopped, Zheng Xiong was at a loss for what to do.
"Well, we may really not be able to leave in this weather. Even if the rain stops later, we probably won't be able to enter the city. We don't need a comfortable place. We just need a place to shelter from the wind and rain. We will leave at dawn the next day. I don't know. Is it possible?"
Before the boys could say anything, the woman spoke first.
"It's okay, Young Master, just stay here. We sisters and brothers will share a room. Young Master, you can live in another room for a while. It's just that I have wronged Young Master."
