Chapter 017 Disaster

Seeing that he failed to set a good example for Shaotang, Xie Yingren was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.

He also plans to teach Shaotang the medical classics when he has time. At least he can watch his junior brother recite the names of herbal medicines and bluff him.

Unexpectedly, this little scheme was ruthlessly exposed by the master.

I wonder if my junior brother will think that he is useless.

"Wow." He cried louder.

Shaotang's condition is freedom. He can do whatever he wants.

Cheng Yi's condition is that he will agree to it as long as you recite the book.

.......

In the new round of competition, Uncle Cheng Yi lost to Ran Xiaogui again.

Because he recited the "Yao Wang Medical Classic" word for word on the spot.

Cheng Yi specially selected a few difficult-to-remember prescriptions to test her. Not only did she answer fluently, but she also extended solutions to other similar illnesses. Cheng Yi wanted to slap himself on the forehead.

How could the junior sister, who is such a strong person, not teach her son the "Yao Wang Medical Classic"? He was deceived by the mother and son.

The junior sister said that Shaotang was naughty and didn't know anything. He didn't like to study medicine and only liked to eat, drink and have fun, so she asked him to take care of him more.

Ran Xiaogui just acted like he was determined not to memorize it, misleading him that this little brat couldn't memorize it... Then he agreed to the bet.

It turns out that I was tricked again.

"Uncle, if you gamble, you will lose. Don't be sad. You will definitely win next time. I just rely on luck. I won by a narrow margin. I won by a narrow margin." Ran Shaotang pretended to be bitter and persuaded Cheng Yi to calm down, and also tried to calm down his uncle's actions.

This bet sent good wishes.

Cheng Yi: "...Get out."

In the evening, Xie Yingren drove a carriage with red eyes, and he sat in front of the carriage with his junior fellow apprentice Shaotang, whose face was filled with happiness, watching the scenery and cracking melon seeds.

Junior brother is really a monster. He could memorize such a thick book. I don’t know how many beatings he received. How pitiful.

He glanced at his junior brother secretly, and the riding crop in his hand made a hunting sound in the air.

The second uncle, who was deeply shocked, sat alone with two big boxes, his buttocks bouncing back and forth on the seat.

No, he must find an opportunity to fix this little brat Ran Shaotang.

When the carriage arrived at the foot of Kunfeng Peak, Xie Yingren was worrying about how to carry the two big boxes onto the bamboo house. Ran Shaotang, who got off the carriage halfway ahead of schedule, had already rushed over with eight strong men.

Shaotang pointed to the box and couldn't help but say that four of the eight men carried a box and carried it steadily up the mountain.

Xie Yingren opened his mouth wide: "Where did you find this person?"

Shaotang replied easily: "In the village. One tael of silver and one box. How about it? I didn't waste my fortune this time."

Cheng Yi looked at Ran Shaotang and frowned, thinking of someone.

It seems that the man named Ran also behaved like this when he was in Jingshan.

It is simply a misfortune for the sect.

Two days later, in the early morning, Cheng Yi was still sleeping in bed with his head covered, when his eldest disciple Ji Gang hurriedly ran to knock on the door.

"What the hell is going on? I don't know what I hate the most as a teacher is anyone who disturbs my dreams."

He sat up in a daze and listened to his eldest disciple report in a panic at the risk of being beaten: "Master, something serious has happened. The third and fourth uncles have led people to Kunfeng to cause trouble."

Um?

Cheng Yi yawned, squinting one eye and pushing hard on his boots.

After hearing his apprentice finish speaking, he tilted his head and glanced at Ji Gang.

"Listening to your tone, it sounds like you are very happy when the masters and uncles are fighting."

Ji Gang was annoyed that he was too excited for a moment and did not hide his good emotions. He hurriedly said to himself: "It's nothing. Master, the two uncles are not looking for a fight with the master uncle. They are going to beat up Ran Shaotang."

Oops, this sentence is even more revealing. Why... I want to laugh.

"What?" The boot on Cheng Yi's other foot flew out in excitement.

Ji Gang immediately went to pick it up for his master.

"Beat Ran Xiaogui? Why? Maybe the third and fourth sons have never seen him? Why do they have to beat him up?" Is it because his wish was heard by the Buddha and fulfilled in this way?

Ji Gang diligently took the clothes on the hanger, helped Cheng Yi put them on, and said slowly: "It seems that Ran Shaotang robbed the two uncles and hired the villagers to work for him in the mountains at a high price."

"Now is the busy farming season. No one is working to delay important events, so the two junior uncles have to go up the mountain to teach Ran Shaotang a lesson. The junior brothers are following behind, and Xiao Shisan is the first to run away. I heard that Kunfeng is unprecedented in this situation.

It’s so lively. I’m afraid of causing trouble, so I came here to report it to Master.”

Cheng Yi could no longer control the joy in his heart and lost all sleepiness. He washed his face with water and smiled energetically at his eldest disciple.

"Let's go to Kunfeng."

Ji Gang followed behind and secretly wondered about Master's attitude. Why did he feel that Master was happier than him after hearing the news?

Walking on the only road leading to Kunfeng, Cheng Yi and Ji Gang found that everyone was so idle that they lined up to watch the fun.

This kind of group fight... No! It's a one-on-one battle, which has never happened in Jingshan for a hundred years.

Many villagers who are keen on gossip have climbed halfway up Kunfeng Peak.

No matter how much everyone wanted to reach Ran Shaotang's residence quickly, they did not dare to disturb the owner of Kunyuan.

In the early morning, the bamboo forest is covered with mist. The bamboo leaves soaked by dew are green and green, and the lush green bamboos are slender and straight, soaring into the sky.

Xie Yingren looked at the two-story bamboo building that had become a large-scale building. The busy villagers were going up and down in the bamboo building, performing their duties. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Shaotang said that as long as it was tidied up, the simple bamboo house would become a royal residence.

He actually did it.

"Shaotang. You, how much money did you spend?"

The original bamboo house has disappeared.

What comes into view is a large courtyard with bamboo as the main material.

There are two courtyards, and the backyard is a two-story bamboo building.

A small pond was dug in the front yard, and the stream from the mountain was led into the pond and flowed gurglingly.

Some fruit trees were obtained from somewhere and planted around the pond.

Shaotang stood under the pomegranate tree with his hands behind his hands, feeling quite proud.

"Using local materials saves money. But labor is more expensive, one tael of silver per work day. Hey, Thirteen, help me see if I should plant a green plum tree in that corner? Or build an octagonal pavilion.

Yes, let’s build a pavilion. On rainy days, the two of us will drink green plum wine and roast rabbit meat in the pavilion. Listening to the rain and appreciating the bamboos is the joy of life.”

Hearing the food, Xie Yingren swallowed quickly.

"You mean I can come and live here too?"

"Of course... you can't." Shaotang thought to himself, it would be okay if you were a girl. What a pity.

Xie Yingren was not angry, but instead counted the number of villagers working for him.

Mom, did Shaotang bring in all the strong laborers in the village? How much will it cost?

Thinking of the strong laborer Xie Yingren shouted: "Oh, no." He then remembered the purpose of taking the path up, "Shaotang, please find a place to hide quickly. The third and fourth uncles are coming.

I'm looking to settle a score with you. I guess it's coming soon, and I'm here to give you a tip."

Shaotang frowned: "What's the problem with me? I haven't even met them. How did I offend them?"

Xie Yingren slapped his thigh anxiously: "You are robbing them. These villagers all work for the uncles. Now they all come to you to build houses. No one is planting rice seedlings or fishing. The uncles want to

Lift your roof off."

Shaotang blinked, it seemed to make sense.

Invisibly interrupting other people's livelihoods, this is a taboo in business.

She raised her hands to an older villager and said, "Uncle Wang, why don't you let a group of people go down the mountain and continue to help my uncle farm. The house is almost built, so it's okay to have a few less people."

"

Uncle Wang hadn't spoken yet, but the villagers who heard this were unhappy.
