Chapter 28 Bowing
Qingshi Village has never been so lively.
The villagers all crowded at the entrance of the village.
Some were watching the wild bear's carcass, while others were chatting with their second uncle, trying to get closer.
"Er Niu, you will be blessed in the future." An old man sighed.
"A Liang is so good, he will definitely become a master in the future." Another person said.
"Yes, Ah Liang is kind. If he becomes a master, our lives will be easier..."
Chu Liang has good conduct and a good heart, which is recognized by the villagers.
Just based on his past behavior of distributing prey to relatives, his character is not at all good.
Naturally, everyone hopes that he can also become a warrior master.
Farming for him will definitely be easier than farming for Mr. Hu.
"A Liang has been kind-hearted since he was a child." The second uncle said with a smile, "When he was young, my eldest brother and I took him to the county town to attend the fair. He saw many refugees fleeing from the drought in the north outside the city gate... At that time, he He couldn't bear it, so he divided half of the sesame seed cakes his eldest brother bought for him..."
Just as he was talking, the second uncle suddenly noticed the smiling housekeeper Hu in the crowd.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
not good!
The second uncle was not a fool and immediately realized the problem.
He was so happy that he even ignored the existence of Mr. Hu!
The joy just now disappeared in an instant, as if a basin of cold water was poured down, making the second uncle feel chilled all over.
This is how to do?
The second uncle looked at Chu Liang in the crowd, feeling anxious and could only pray that Mr. Hu would not suppress Chu Liang.
Chu Liang is communicating with Chu Shan.
Chu Shan looked excited and kept asking: "Brother Liang, how did you do it? Can you teach me? I also want to be as strong as you! No, just half as strong as you."
"Take your time, don't rush, just kill a bear."
Chu Liang looked relaxed and had an easy-going smile.
His casual and calm look was undoubtedly a sign of strength in the eyes of those around him.
Many villagers around wanted to talk to Chu Liang, but they were a little reserved out of awe and couldn't find a topic. Instead, some younger children dared to squeeze in and talk to Chu Liang.
In this way, the excitement at the entrance of the village was divided into two parts.
Some of them are older people on the second uncle's side.
The other part is Chuliang, where there are mostly young people and children.
Many old people lamented that Qingshi Village has not had such a lively scene for many years.
At this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded: "A-Liang, you are quite capable. I looked down on you before."
The sound was a bit sharp and harsh.
It was Butler Hu who had a mustache who spoke.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the voices of the others quickly became quieter, and none of them dared to speak anymore.
"Steward Hu." Chu Liang looked at him and cupped his hands.
"A-Liang, you are a very good boy!" Butler Hu squinted his eyes, "I am very happy that such an outstanding young man has come out of the village, and my husband is also very pleased."
Chu Liang listened quietly, his expression unchanged, waiting for the next step.
He knew that Butler Hu had no good intentions. Naturally, he would not speak just to praise him at this time.
As expected, Butler Hu changed the subject and said, "You have no use holding this blind bear's body, so why not sell it to me? My master just needs bear bile to make wine."
After saying that, he took out a few copper coins and threw them away.
Snapped!
A few copper coins bounced on the ground a few times. Gululu rolled around a few times, and finally rolled to Chu Liang's feet.
Seeing this scene, everyone around them had their eyelids twitching.
At this time, anyone who is not hopelessly stupid will realize the problem.
Mr. Hu is going to attack A Liang!
This idea appeared in the minds of many villagers at the same time.
They all looked at Chu Liang, some sympathetic, some worried, and some gloating.
"A-Liang, how's it going? Do you want to sell it or not?" Butler Hu said in a casual tone.
"A little less." Chu Liang replied calmly.
"Oh? Don't you have enough money?"
With a smile on his face, Butler Hu immediately took out a few more coins, threw them at Chu Liang's feet, and said, "Is this enough? Pick it up."
"It's not enough." Chu Liang said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Butler Hu immediately stopped smiling.
"not enough?!"
With a gloomy look on his face, he threw out a few coins again and said, "A-Liang, again and again and again and again, is it enough now? This is what I want to buy, you think about it carefully!"
Three times in a row, he threw out a total of more than ten copper coins.
This amount of money is indeed not enough, and far from enough.
You know, if the carcass of this wild bear was sold in the county town, it would fetch at least ten taels of silver!
One tael of silver can be worth a thousand copper coins, and can even be exchanged for one thousand two or one thousand three cents on the black market.
The more than ten copper coins that Butler Hu threw out can only buy a few wild bear hairs at most!
but……
As he said, this is what Mr. Hu wants to buy!
In the village, where does Mr. Hu need to use normal prices when buying things?
Whether it was the villagers' fields or the land used for the expansion of the Hu family's mansion, they were all occupied by Mr. Hu without spending a penny!
Now that he has given more than ten articles, he really thinks highly of Chu Liang.
What would Chu Liang do?
Everyone is waiting for his answer.
Doctor Wang's face was filled with worry, and he thought to himself: "A-Liang, sell it, take a step back, lower your head, and let Mr. Hu know your attitude."
Second Uncle's eyes were anxious, and his thoughts were similar to those of Doctor Wang: "Aliang, don't make Mr. Hu unhappy at this time!"
They all hoped that Chu Liang would bow his head.
Just bow his head, bend down, and pick up the dozen or so inconspicuous copper coins on the ground!
Just bend down...Living in this world, the lives of ordinary people are as cheap as weeds. Who can guarantee that their backbones will always be straight?
There may be a way to survive if you bow your head.
If you don't do this, you will definitely die!
On the side, Chu Shan clenched his fists, his heart was full of anger, his teeth were almost broken, he was angry and worried.
"Brother Liang..."
The image of Chu Liang in his heart was extremely tall. He didn't want to see Chu Liang bow his head, but he didn't want Chu Liang to be killed by Mr. Hu.
At this moment, his heart was extremely conflicted.
Zhao Hu was also conflicted.
Now he didn't want to compete with Chu Liang, he knew he couldn't win.
He just wanted to know, would Chu Liang bow his head?
Zhao Hu asked himself... If it were him, he would definitely bow his head and beg Master Hu to spare his life in the most humble manner.
"Aliang, why are you silent?" Butler Hu asked, "Is the money enough?"
"It's still not enough."
Chu Liang answered in a very calm voice.
These four light words sounded like thunder and lightning to the ears of the people around him, and they all widened their eyes.
They couldn't believe that Chu Liang was unwilling to bow his head?
That was Master Hu!
Second Uncle was anxious and kept signaling Chu Liang with his eyes, wishing he could help Chu Liang answer.
Hearing Chu Liang's answer, Butler Hu laughed instead of getting angry.
"Haha, Aliang, you are quite courageous! Good, very good!" His laughter was very cold, and it made others shudder.
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
The villagers around hurriedly made way for him.
