Chapter 68: Don’t Talk, Just Watch the Show
The teacher was carrying tofu and walking slowly home, and he seemed to be enjoying a very leisurely journey.
I hadn't decided what to eat for dinner today, and I happened to meet Lan Xin and her daughter. I was thinking how lucky I was to have encountered such a good thing.
He was not a good teacher to begin with. He made a lot of money by being a teacher. He would pay special attention to the students of whoever gave him gifts. If he hadn't wanted to take advantage of Lan Xin today, he would never have come to Lan Xin on purpose.
I was thinking, it would be great if Zhiruo could stay away from school forever, so that I could have tofu to eat every day.
Xuemei rode a fast horse and arrived at the teacher in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the teacher's expression, Xuemei became even angrier. Then, as the horse was running harder, Xuemei raised the whip and whipped the teacher. The teacher was caught off guard and felt pain in his hand, and the tofu fell to the ground.
The teacher watched the tofu that was about to fall to the ground, and he became angry. He looked at Xuemei on the horse and asked loudly, "What are you doing?"
How could the teacher be in a good mood when the duck in his mouth flew away? If it weren't for the fact that the teacher was tall and handsome, his words would have been even more unpleasant.
"What am I doing? Can't you see you're blocking my way?" Xuemei has always been unreasonable, especially since the person in front of her is the one who bullied Lan Xin and her daughter.
I have always wanted to stand up for Lan Xin and her daughter, but I have no way to help Su Xing, so I can only start with the teacher.
This was originally a poor and remote place, and Xuemei's temperament was particularly outstanding. Her clothes showed that she was not an ordinary person. The teacher was angry, but reason told him that he should not offend the little fat girl in front of him easily.
What if she is a lady from a wealthy family? If I offend him, he will kill my entire family right after. It would be a waste of time and effort.
"You broke my tofu in the street, so you have to compensate me, otherwise you can't leave." The teacher took a deep breath and continued.
Xuemei sneered and said, "I broke your tofu? How can you say it's yours? I said it was mine."
"You!" The teacher didn't expect the person in front of her to be so unreasonable. It was obviously her who was wrong first, but now she is turning the tables on her.
"I bought this, it's not mine, so how could it be yours?" The teacher sneered, because he saw more and more villagers coming nearby, and he became more confident.
Xuemei didn't care about the people around her. She waved her whip and whipped the teacher again, and continued: "A teacher's job is to impart knowledge and solve problems. You, as a teacher, don't think about how to help students become successful, but think about how to take advantage of them every day. You are not worthy of being a teacher."
"You bought it? Did you spend a penny on it? You might as well say you robbed it."
Seeing that there were villagers around, most of whom were parents of his students, the teacher jumped up, covered his hand that was hurt by Xuemei and shouted loudly: "Where did this crazy woman come from? She came up to me without saying a word and hit me. Villagers, please give me some justice."
The teacher has a very high status in the village, and such educated people are also respected by everyone. When they heard the teacher's shouting, everyone looked at Xuemei with contempt.
You know, the Daqian Empire has been at war for many years, and there are very few people who can read quietly. Now that peace has finally been achieved, the scholars have long gone to the city to become officials. Who would stay in the remote countryside?
The teacher took in everyone's expressions and continued to add fuel to the fire, "This crazy woman is not from our local area at all. She is here to bully people. Folks, she has even bullied us at our doorstep. Come and help me."
"This little girl doesn't look like someone who would be so rude."
"Don't judge a person by appearance. Who knows if she is a weasel in sheep's clothing?"
"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Who would have known that this little girl was so vicious?"
Although many people spoke up for the teacher, there were still people who remained rational. After all, everyone knew what the teacher had done over the years.
Xuemei didn't care what the people around her said at all. She just kept beating the teacher again and again.
The teacher was originally a weak scholar. He might be able to get along well with children on weekdays, but if he really met someone who had practiced martial arts, he would have no ability to fight back at all.
Besides, he was so old that he didn't have the energy to dodge. He could only cover his head and try his best to avoid getting hurt.
Xuemei's whip was fast and sharp, and the teacher jumped up and down like a monkey. After jumping for a while, he was out of strength and lay on the ground, grunting.
In the distance, Luo Fanchen stared at Xuemei's whip with his sharp eyes and said, "The whip technique looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before."
"Oh?" Liu Hu tilted his head and asked, not expecting Luo Fanchen to know Xuemei's martial arts.
Looking at Liu Hu's eyes, Luo Fanchen shook his head and said, "I just feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but if you ask me which sect he is from, I really can't remember."
Liu Hu has always been suspicious about Xuemei's identity. Moreover, when he fell into the water and was in distress, it was Tang Ya and the big monk who saved him. From the conversation between Tang Ya and the big monk, Liu Hu concluded that Tang Ya must have something to hide and did not tell him the truth.
Liu Hu had been trying to test Xuemei, but he never found the chance. He turned around and said to Luo Fanchen and Asi, "Let's go and take a look."
No matter what, Tang Ya has entrusted Xuemei to me, so I have the responsibility to ensure Xuemei's safety.
Liu Hu led the two of them to a location ten feet away from Xuemei, stopped at a random spot, and watched the development of the situation quietly.
"This Xuemei looks quite like you." Liu Hu looked at Xuemei and hit the teacher without caring about anything, and joked to Luo Fanchen.
Both of them have the same personality. As long as they are unhappy, they will not care about others and just do what they want.
"Hmph, far from it." Luo Fanchen sneered, thinking: I am skilled and courageous, while she is a young and inexperienced person who is not afraid of tigers. With such martial arts skills, she dares to speak so arrogantly. It is obvious that she has never experienced anything like this.
Ah Si took out some food from somewhere and shared some with Liu Hu. While eating, he said, "When I first saw Xuemei, I thought you two were a good match. Now I see, hmm~ even more of a match."
"Get out!" Luo Fanchen kicked Asi on the butt and snatched some food from him.
Ah Si patted the dust off his butt, smiled foolishly and continued: "Look, you are angry out of shame, it's not a big deal, if you are embarrassed, I will speak for you."
Hearing that Ah Si was going to speak for him, Luo Fanchen groaned inwardly. Ah Si had an impulsive personality, and he was not sure what he would say if he spoke for him.
According to Luo Fanchen's understanding of Asi, this is generally the scenario that will occur.
"My buddy likes you, come with me."
"who?"
"You don't need to care who it is. It's your blessing that my buddy likes you . You only have two choices. One is to follow me. The second is to follow me."
“Is there any difference between the two?”
"The first is that you volunteer, and the second is that I knock you out and then carry you on my back."
Thinking of this, Luo Fanchen felt a headache. He felt that Asi was not like a normal person, but more like a bandit, and an unreasonable bandit at that.
Liu Hu didn't want the two people to chatter endlessly, so he interrupted and said, "Don't talk, just watch the show."
Hearing the stern tone in Liu Hu's voice, the two did not dare to continue arguing, but watched Xuemei perform quietly.
