"There's a thief! Come and catch the thief!" Zhou Shichu shouted and immediately flew out of bed. Her sharp voice successfully woke up the other two adults in the family: Aunt Qian and Uncle Li in the silent night.
Of course, it scared the thief Li Ji even more. Li Ji obviously didn't expect that he would be discovered by Zhou Shichu. He was so frightened that he didn't care about looking for money. He just wanted to run away with his head in his arms.
It was a pity that he was facing Zhou Shichu. If Zhou Shichu wanted to teach him a profound lesson, it would be impossible for him to escape.
Zhou Shichu crossed his long legs and caught up with Li Ji in a few steps. He reached out and grabbed him, then picked up his slippers and started beating Li Ji head and face with lightning speed.
Don't think that hitting someone with slippers is not very lethal, but - you know, the slippers worn by ordinary people in this era were clogs, and the soles were made of thick wooden boards. It would be painful to hit someone.
Li Ji was beaten so hard that he screamed and begged for mercy: "Don't fight, don't fight! I am Li Ji!"
Unfortunately, Zhou Shichu pretended not to hear what he said, and still struck hard and fast, not forgetting to find a rag and stuff it into his mouth. Before Zhou Shichu hit him enough, he had better keep silent.
Aunt Qian and Uncle Li heard the noise and rushed over in a panic. Aunt Qian was so frightened that she shouted: "Madam! What happened?"
Uncle Li brought a pole over, rushed in and saw a taller figure beating a shorter figure. Because his eyes were presbyopic, he could not see clearly. He didn't know who was the hostess, so he asked anxiously: "Madam, who is the thief?!"
"This is it. I caught him. Help him beat him up. Once he has no strength left, we will send him to the official at dawn!" Zhou Shichu pushed Li Ji in front of Uncle Li. Uncle Li recognized her He heard the sound, so he beat the thief unceremoniously, who couldn't even cry.
Aunt Qian saw that her family had the upper hand, so she found an oil lamp and lit up the room to see where the thief had come from and had broken into their home.
She originally thought that this thief would be easily caught by her wife because he was smaller, but when she took a closer look, she was shocked because she finally recognized that this thief was none other than her. The young master Li Ji.
She was so frightened that she shouted: "Stop fighting! Stop fighting, it's the young master! Madam, Brother Li, please stop!"
Zhou Shichu gave Li Ji's butt a final hard spank, and then stopped still.
Uncle Li was also startled when he heard Aunt Qian's words. He quickly stopped and threw the pole aside. He came closer and looked at Li Ji carefully, only to realize that Aunt Qian was right. This was indeed Li Ji. Then he asked doubtfully: "Young Master, how could it be you?"
Zhou Shichu also pretended to have just realized it was him, frowned and asked: "Li Ji, you didn't sleep at night, why did you come to my room? I thought it was a thief from somewhere, so you opened my door secretly Cabinet, throw the things in my cabinet into a mess..."
Aunt Qian had already guessed the result. She looked at Li Ji in disbelief and said, "Young master, did you really come to my wife's room to steal things in the middle of the night? Why are you so confused?"
Li Ji had been beaten to a pulp by this time, and all the bones in his body seemed to have been removed and reinstalled. They were not broken, but the pain was so painful that it made people question their life.
He couldn't even stand still. He lay on the ground like a dead dog, panting loudly. He didn't even have the strength to raise his hand to pull off the rag from his mouth.
It was Aunt Qian who saw him being pouted and helped him tear off the rag.
"I remembered that Li Ji asked me for money during the day. It was too much money, so I didn't give it to him. Unexpectedly, he didn't give up and came to my room at night to steal it!" Zhou Shichu pretended Tsukuru said with a sudden realization, directly pointing out Li Ji's motives.
Aunt Qian was immediately angry and distressed. More importantly, she still hated the iron. "Young master! How can you do such a thing? You always have so much money, what are you going to buy? Even if the master is at home, he will definitely not give it to you." Yours, you are really... ugh! You learned to steal money at a young age, what will you do in the future..."
Zhou Shichu said to Aunt Qian: "Aunt Qian, I didn't know this thief was Li Ji, but he was a bit harsh. I need to ask a doctor to come back and take a look at him, so as not to really hurt his body."
"That's right! You need to ask a doctor to take a look!" Aunt Qian agreed, and then wanted to take Li Ji back to his room, but Li Ji was already over eight years old, almost nine years old, and because he was well fed and strong, he just He was much heavier than the average child, so Aunt Qian couldn't move him at all, and almost dropped him, causing a second injury.
Zhou Shichu would not help pick him up, but that didn't stop her from showing her "kindness", so she said to Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, if you are stronger, you can carry him back to his room."
"Okay." Uncle Li said, and sure enough he picked up Li Ji and left Zhou Shichu's room.
Zhou Shichu was just about to follow when he suddenly heard Zhou Shiwan's weak voice: "Sister, don't leave, I'm afraid..."
It turned out that she had woken up early, and since there had been so much noise about catching and beating thieves just now, it was strange that she didn't wake up.
"Then get up too. That was Li Ji just now. He wanted to come to our room to steal something, but I caught him and beat him up. Now I need to ask a doctor to see his injuries. I am not here. If you are afraid, just Get up and follow me." Zhou Shichu didn't hide anything and told Zhou Shiwan directly the cause and effect of the matter.
After Zhou Shiwan was woken up, he couldn't sleep anymore, and he was afraid of staying alone in the room. As expected, he got up and watched the fun with Zhou Shichu.
After Uncle Li moved Li Ji back to his room, he went to find a nearby doctor overnight.
A quarter of an hour later, the doctor came. The injuries on Li Ji's body could be said to be serious or light. The injuries on Li Ji's body could be said to be serious or light. They were said to be serious because they were bruised and bruised all over his body. They looked a bit scary. But they were said to be light because of the It's just a stick injury. If you apply medicine and take good care of it, the scar will heal without damaging the foundation of the body.
Although Zhou Shichu wanted to teach Li Ji a profound lesson, he was not so cruel that he wanted to destroy his body. He just wanted him to experience unforgettable pain, so as to prevent him from becoming more lawless and worse.
The doctor cleaned Li Ji's wound, and Li Ji wailed in pain for a long time. When the doctor finished giving him the medicine, he was still sobbing and crying. But Zhou Shichu would not pity him. as a result of.
"I will write a letter to Li Wei about this tomorrow to let him know what kind of character his son is." Zhou Shichu said expressionlessly. The original owner's mother used to work as a maid in a wealthy family, so she could read. The original owner told her I have learned that it is still possible to write a simple letter.
"W-does this disturb the master too much? The master is busy with work, why don't we wait until he comes back?" Aunt Qian said unbearably. Although she had only been with the Li family for more than a year, she had no children, so she left Li Ji behind. When my grandson is in pain, I can't help but speak for him.
