Rebirth of the third master of the ring of the Red Chamber

Jia Huan looked at his slender arms and legs, but the strength was not hidden. He sliced ​​through a group of people with one hand, and got to the front as easily as Moses divided the sea, and threw a bowl full of porridge at the big housekeeper. .

"Ouch! What do you want to do, you bastard?" the butler wiped off the porridge on his face, and cursed angrily while covering his red and swollen forehead.

"You can call it a bastard! Why, smash it!" Jia Huan kicked him far away, and raised his hand to overturn the porridge shed.Seeing this, several guards with knives squeezed over immediately.

The third prince rushed to his side first, covered the back of his neck with his warm palm, gently kneaded and pressed the dimple on the back of his neck with his thumb, and whispered, "Huan'er, calm down! There is something here." Officers and soldiers, don't make a fuss! Shhh, calm down..." He hugged the young man into his arms as he spoke, and covered his blood-red eyes with five fingers.

Jia Huan tried his best to take a deep breath to suppress the mania in his heart.After finally having a meal of rice porridge, it turned out to be moldy rice!This is equivalent to stabbing a knife in his heart when he is the happiest!This is simply unbearable, but I have to bear it!Take a deep breath, keep breathing deeply!

"What are you doing? Are you rebelling?" The guard in the lead squeezed over and pulled out his saber from his waist with a swipe.

Xiao Ze took a big stride and stood in front of his master, surrounded by many disaster victims brought by Jia Huan.When the guards saw that there were so many people on the other side, and that these victims were hungry and red-eyed and could do anything, they felt a little panicked.

Seeing this, the third prince spoke slowly, with a very gentle attitude, "My lords don't know something, my little brother found out that the porridge is made of moldy rice, and drinking it may cause death, so he rushed in in a moment of impatience. I also ask all the adults to forgive him for his young age. Besides, I also want to ask this big housekeeper, if he dares to open the grain bag and let me see the truth, so that I can be convinced no?"

The guard looked at the butler hesitantly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My master gave porridge out of good intentions, and you don't appreciate it, but you still maliciously spread rumors and slander? You really are a bunch of unscrupulous people! Guards, drive them out! I won't serve this porridge! Little ones , pack up and go home!" The housekeeper stood up with the support of a servant, and shouted loudly.

The victims around quit and cursed angrily, "Go away if you don't drink porridge! No one knows that the Qiu family is the most kind-hearted, so they would do such evil things! I think you are the villains! Is it wrong to try to blackmail you?" ?”

"Yes! If you don't drink, get out, don't disturb others! This porridge is pure white and soft, and smells a strong fragrance. It has never smelled of mildew! We believe in Qiu Dashan! The steward, let someone take them away. Call it out, let's continue serving porridge!"

"Shoot it out, hit it out! Please do me a favor, Chief Steward, and give us a full meal!"

The victims condemned one after another, and some even knelt down and kowtowed to the housekeeper.

Seeing this, the third prince half dragged Jia Huan out of the crowd without waiting for the guards to drive him away, and before leaving, he warned again that he could not eat.The guards didn't dare to offend this group of mobs, and they didn't pursue them when they saw that they had left by themselves.

The butler was worshiped by everyone, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered, pretending to be helpless, and said, "Forget it, my master is kind-hearted, if he knows that I stopped giving porridge because of such a trivial matter, he will definitely punish me severely when I go back. Forget it, let's continue!" Don't worry about the rest, everyone has a share, be careful not to fall." While talking, he saw the reddish eyes of the young man looking back and the sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, and almost bit his tongue.

Out of the crowd, Jia Huan had returned to normal, broke free from the arms of the third prince, and said to the crowd of victims who were staring eagerly, "I'm leaving it here, the porridge is undrinkable, it smells fragrant, but white vinegar was actually added to remove the mildew." taste. If you are really hungry, just go, I will not be a villain in vain."

A few in the crowd began to stir.

Jia Huan ordered to his dumb brothers and sisters following behind him, "You two, don't go!"

"Third Master, we will never go!" The younger sister waved her hands quickly.The elder brother has a loyal expression of not going to die of starvation.

Jia Huan felt relieved, and sat back by the fire, took out the hatchet from his waist, and put it on a stone to polish it carefully.

The victim nicknamed 'Bao inquiring' ran over and whispered in the ear of the third prince, "Third brother, I found out clearly that this Qiu family is the wife's family of the county magistrate of Ze'an, the largest local wealth. Congee has merit, the county magistrate has reported his name, and soon he will be named Yuanwailang, and all future generations can become officials. His family wants money, money, power and power, so it is better for us to provoke less."

The third prince nodded with a gloomy expression.

Jia Huan sneered when he heard the words, raised the hatchet that was shining with cold light, and gently scraped the blade with his fingertips enough to blow hair off.

"Huan'er, what do you want to do?" The third prince said helplessly.The young man is good at everything, except that he has an uncontrollable violent temper, but he is not annoying, which makes him more sincere and real.The third prince had to admit that he knew that such an impulsive character was inappropriate, but he didn't want to make the boy change in the slightest.

"I didn't think about it." Jia Huan pouted, put the knife back into his waist, and said to Xiao Ze, who had a dark complexion, "Go, get some food with me, Third Master."

Xiao Ze complied and followed suit, leaving the third prince sighing at the fire.

The two of them arrived at the snow-covered field, followed a series of footprints and shot a nest of field mice. They dug out a lot of grains from the field mice's nest, rubbed off the outer shell with stones and carried them in their arms. They passed by a frozen pond and jumped. Going down, it took a long time to get out a few hibernating frogs and two bastards from the hard mud layer.

The two cleaned up the voles, frogs and bastards, threw away the internal organs, and returned with straw strings.

Most of the disaster victims with them are very obedient, those who are capable go hunting, those who are not able to pick bark, a small number of people can't resist the temptation, sneak away to get porridge, wipe their mouths after drinking, and come back as if nothing happened .

When the two reached the fire, the third prince was holding a piece of charcoal to teach the mute brother and sister to read.The two brothers and sisters are very capable. They peeled off a lot of elm bark, cut them into small pieces and baked them on the stone slabs. The burnt aroma can be smelled from afar.

"Did you two go to drink porridge?" Jia Huan asked with raised eyebrows.

"No. We listen to the third master." The younger sister replied with big clear eyes blinking.

"Yes, obedient children have meat to eat!" Jia Huan hooked his lips, threw the vole in his hand onto the third prince's robe, and jokingly said, "Rat meat, dare you eat it?"

The third prince put down the charcoal, wiped his hands with snow, skewered the vole meat piece by piece on the branch, and handed it to the brothers and sisters who were drooling frequently, with a helpless tone of indulgence and pampering that he didn't realize, "Don't dare, see I almost vomited!"

Jia Huan pouted, poured all kinds of grains wrapped in oil paper into an iron bowl, mixed with a few balls of snow, boiled them on the fire, and said with a smile, "Let's have porridge tonight, it's thicker than Qiu's. , sweeter than Qiu’s, the important thing is that you won’t have diarrhea if you eat it.”

Xiao Ze was originally smiling, but he choked when he heard this, and said aggrievedly, "Third Master, can we not say such disgusting things while eating?"

"No." Jia Huan shook his index finger.

Xiao Ze retreated silently.

The third prince raised his head and laughed.

The five of them had a delicious meal.After packing up the tableware, Jia Huan took out all his weapons and sharpened them one by one.The dumb sister roasted some tree bark for snacks, seeing Third Master Huan looking over lightly, she stuffed a piece into his mouth tactfully.

Satisfied, Jia Huan chewed loudly, and raised an ax to test the blade with his fingertips.

The third prince took over the job of feeding, twisted a piece of elm bark and brought it to his lips, and asked in a low voice, "Huan'er, tell the truth to third brother, do you want to rob the Qiu mansion?"

"It's not robbery, it's looting!" Jia Huan corrected seriously.

The third prince was about to ask carefully, when the refugees living in the hut suddenly became agitated, and then screamed piercingly through the sky, "My son! My son, what happened to you?!"

At the same time, Bao Dingting rushed over, panting, and said, "Third, third master, it's not good! Some of us have vomiting and diarrhea, and they have passed out right now, and they are bleeding from strangulation but they still haven't woken up. Go and see Look!"

These victims have experienced months of hunger and cold, and their physical functions have already been on the verge of collapse, and they cannot bear the slightest damage.If you usually have diarrhea after drinking moldy rice porridge, now your stomach and intestines are extremely weak, and you will experience severe dehydration immediately after vomiting and diarrhea. Without antibiotics or infusion facilities, you really have to wait for death.

Jia Huan sat without moving, took out a bag of salt from the package and threw it over, and said calmly, "Boil the snow water, sprinkle some salt on it and feed them to drink. Also dig some roots of ghost needles and plantain, Boil them together to make thick juice and pour it down. I don’t know if it will be good, but let’s do our best and obey the destiny.”

Bao inquired and ran away with the salt in his hand.

Many people fell down one after another that night, and their symptoms were vomiting and diarrhea. Several young children went there after midnight, and the crying of relatives continued all night.At daybreak, one of the people who escaped with Jia Huan also returned to the west, and the others were still in a coma, their life or death unknown.

"It's the rice! There's something wrong with the rice from the Qiu family! Someone said yesterday that the rice is not edible, it's not edible, he clearly said it's not edible, why can't I hold back..." A woman hugged herself and was already stiff The cold child looked dazed.

"Let's go! Go to the Qiu family to settle the score!" The survivors picked up sticks and rushed towards the Qiu family, but were beaten to the point of blood by the yamen servants and nurses who rushed over.The county magistrate of Ze'an also issued a message, saying that this is an epidemic, and all seriously ill people should be gathered together and burned to death, and those who were not sick were not allowed to step out of the shack. We had to send a few yamen servants to watch from afar.

The third prince was furious when he received the news, but he didn't show anything on his face. He said to the bewildered woman, "I heard that the prefect of Yunzhou has visited various counties, and he will be in Ze'an in a few days. If you want to help your son To avenge a grievance, it is better to stop his sedan chair halfway. The petition has been written for you, do you dare?"

"My son is dead. My parents, in-laws, and husband are all dead. What am I doing with this life? Give me the certificate, and I'll go!" The woman snatched the certificate and carefully put it in her arms. The corpse fled into the forest path.

Xiao Ze nodded at his master, then disappeared and followed.

On this side, Jia Huan had gathered dozens of people, all of them were holding sharp weapons such as hatchets and axes, and their expressions were very fierce.

The third prince walked over slowly and sighed, "How can you mob be against the well-trained and strong government servants and guards? Rushing in rashly is tantamount to courting death. I have a way to get him out of the rice warehouse." The food in the house is brought out openly, are you willing to listen?"

Jia Huan alone could wash the entire Qiu Mansion with blood, but he also knew that he needed to hide his clumsiness before he was truly powerful, so he curled his lips and said, "Who said we have to rush in? Can't we just sneak in? But it's always good if you don't have to make any effort. Tell me about it."

The third prince flicked his sleeves and smiled vigorously.When staying with Huan'er, he always felt that he was useless, but now he can finally make Huan'er look at him differently.
