Chapter 306 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 10
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Master.”
The old farmer got out of the car in a hurry, with a look of shame on his face, apologizing again and again, and looking panicked disturbed.
He was in a hurry and wanted to help clean up, but he didn't know how to start.
Seeing this, the surrounding passers-by cast their eyes with sympathy or ridicule,
Among them, there were several former classmates of Su Jin, but they had no intention of stepping forward to help. Instead, they held their noses and walked away with disgust on their faces.
Su Jin stood there, ashamed and angry, suppressing the nausea in her stomach and not getting angry.
He tried his best to maintain his grace and said slowly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you made it unintentionally."
After saying this, he left here as if he was running away with the book frame on his back.
The book frame was made of hollow bamboo. He ran all the way, stumbling and stumbling, causing the feces inside to scatter all the way, attracting passersby to look at him and curse.
Su Jin had never been so embarrassed or disgusted before, so she ran all the way to the creek outside Guluo Town.
Beside the creek, the grass is green, wild flowers are blooming, and birds are singing happily on the branches.
However, at this moment, he had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery.
He couldn't wait to jump into the creek and clean himself desperately.
At this moment, a stream of light fell in the small woods beside the stream, and a beautiful figure slowly appeared.
It was Yu Yao.
She looked at Su Jin's miserable appearance, her eyes filled with coldness.
Su Jin Su Jin, this is the beginning, just take it slow.
The original owner in the previous life sacrificed everything for Su Jin, but in the end his cultivation was gone and he died.
She could understand that Su Jin was biased against demons, but the problem was that she clearly found out that the original owner was a demon, but pretended not to know and continued to deceive the original owner.
When he was named on the gold medal list, he would use an eight-carriage sedan chair to marry the original owner.
Just so that the original owner could continue to help him, help him with housework, wash and cook, and spend money to support him in taking the imperial examination.
This man has a deep scheming mind and is so ruthless that he would not hesitate to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
Su Jin didn't know that someone was watching secretly. He was soaked in the stream.
The cool stream water made him shiver. He took off his clothes and washed the dirt off his body.
He soaked his hair in the water and rubbed it vigorously with his hands, trying to wash away the disgusting smell.
The face, neck, and arms were washed carefully from head to toe, with urgent and rough movements.
The clothes were also scrubbed clean, squeezed out of the water and put on just like that.
Although it is very uncomfortable to be wet, there are no other clothes in the wilderness at this moment, so you can't be naked, right?
Fortunately, the sun is still warm at this time, and although it is a bit cold, I won't catch a cold.
He carefully took the book out of its frame and unfolded it gently.
However, I was disappointed to find that the ink stains inside had become mushy and impossible to see clearly.
"It's over, it's over, how could this happen?"
Su Jin's face instantly turned pale as if she was struck by lightning.
He hurriedly picked up several other books and opened them to check. However, every one of them was in the same tragic situation, and the handwriting was blurred and difficult to read.
His face was pale, and he fell down by the stream in despair, his eyes dull and desperate.
Here are not only the books he worked hard to copy for half a month, but also "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" borrowed from the bookstore.
These books must be returned after copying them. If they are damaged or lost, they must be compensated according to the price.
A single copy of "The Analects of Confucius" costs at least three or four taels of silver. "Mencius" is even more expensive and cannot be bought without five taels of silver.
And the books he had copied so hard for half a month were all useless.
With more than a dozen taels of silver gone and a head of feces poured on her, Su Jin felt that she was filled with grievances and anger and had nowhere to vent, and she collapsed to the extreme.
He held his head in his hands and roared in pain: "Why? Why do you do this to me?"
Tears fell uncontrollably. He never imagined that he would encounter such a disaster.
Su Jin felt that she couldn’t just let it go, so she cleaned the book frame, carried it on her back, and decided to go find the farmer.
Even if his clothes and hair were wet, he didn't care.
He couldn't afford to pay more than a dozen taels of silver. Someone had to share it with him, right?
Yu Yao just watched in secret and saw that Su Jin did not go back, but continued to the direction of Guluo Town.
I was also curious about where Su Jin was going, so I turned into a breeze and followed quietly.
Su Jin didn’t know the farmer who was pooping, nor did he know where he lived.
We could only ask people along the way, but everyone shook their heads and said they were unclear.
Finally, a kind-hearted aunt told him that the farmer lived in Zhaojia Village, the closest village to Guluo Town. Su Jin thanked the aunt and went all the way to Zhaojiacun.
After asking around all the way, I finally found Uncle Zhao’s home.
At this time, Mr. Zhao was doing farm work in the yard, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Hearing the movement from the courtyard door, he raised his head, and when he saw Su Jin, his expression was very shocked.
He had a bad premonition in his heart, put down the farm tools in his hands, and went forward anyway.
Su Jin walked into Old Uncle Zhao's house with a gloomy face. Looking at Old Uncle Zhao who looked embarrassed, he tried to keep himself calm.
He took off the book frame on his back, took out the wet and wrinkled books inside, handed them to Old Man Zhao, and gently unfolded them for him to read.
Old Uncle Zhao took a look. Although he was illiterate, he could tell that the handwriting inside was blurred and the book was considered invalid.
I understood the young master’s intention, and his face turned a little pale.
"Old man, should you give me an explanation?"
Su Jin got straight to the point and said with suppressed anger.
Old man Zhao had a guilty look on his face, "Master, I'm so sorry. This is indeed my fault."
Su Jin saw that the old man didn't even mention compensation and just apologized. , the anger in his heart became more and more intense, but he held it back.
"Old man, the books I have worked hard to copy for half a month, and the two books I borrowed from the book store, were all destroyed by the feces on your car. I have to pay these books to the book store, And my half-month’s hard work has been wasted. Uncle Zhao, what do you think of this loss?”
Uncle Zhao panicked when he heard this, "Sir, I really didn't mean it, but I am just a farmer. I occasionally pick up manure for people in the town. I really don't have the money to compensate you."
The book is like this How could he afford to pay for something so valuable?
If he had this money, he would have sent his son to study long ago, why bother being a miserable farmer.
Su Jin frowned, raised her eyebrows a little, and said, holding back her anger: "Old man, I know it's not easy for you, but I'm also a poor scholar. I've done the math, and it's a total of twenty taels of silver. You You have to find a way to compensate me, otherwise, I can't explain it to the bookstore."
When Mr. Zhao heard that he wanted twenty taels of silver, he became even more panicked. They couldn't afford to pay for such a large amount of money even if they were selling everything.
At this moment, Zhao Dazhuang, the son of Mr. Zhao, wandered back from outside.
Zhao Dazhuang has a strong figure, but exudes a ruffian air. His hair is messy and his clothes are crookedly worn.
When he saw Su Jin arguing with his father, he squinted his eyes and curled his lips and asked, "Dad, what's going on?
Zhao Dazhuang is an idle second-rate guy who usually doesn't do business. He is very good at sneaking around and climbing the walls of the widow's house.
He has a very bad reputation in the nearby Shiliba Village. As a result, he is almost 30 years old and has not yet married a wife.
When Mr. Zhao saw his son like this, he became very angry, but he still told what happened.
When Zhao Dazhuang heard that he wanted to compensate twenty taels, he frowned, his eyes widened like bells, and shouted arrogantly: "What? Compensation? No money, don't even think about it!"
He has a loud voice and a fierce look. He is not easy to deal with at first glance.
Su Jin frowned and thought: Why is this person so unreasonable?
But seeing that the other party looked like a second-rate person, I had a premonition that I might not be able to get the money today.
But thinking that if the other party was not allowed to compensate, he would not be able to compensate the bookstore. After thinking about it, he still argued with reason.
“This is the loss you caused, how can you not compensate? I don’t care if you splashed feces all over me. But those two books were borrowed from a book store. If they are damaged, you have to compensate them according to the price. The books I copied took a lot of effort.”
It is good for Zhao Dazhuang not to blackmail others, but how can he do it if others still blame him?
He grabbed Su Jin's collar and said viciously: "Compensation? Not even a cent. Scholar, I'm warning you, if you are sensible, get out of here, otherwise my fists will not be polite." ”
Su Jin was trembling with anger, her face turned red, she broke away from Zhao Dazhuang’s hand and said angrily: “You are cheating”
Old Uncle Zhao stood aside in embarrassment. Although he felt that his family was in the wrong and his son was wrong, he really couldn't pay twenty taels of silver if he was asked to compensate.
"What's wrong with me just cheating? Why don't you go find out who I, Zhao Dazhuang, am?"
Zhao Dazhuang was so arrogant that he punched Su Jin in the face.
Su Jin couldn't avoid it and received several heavy punches. She felt like stars were popping up in her eyes and her head was dizzy.
The whole person instantly became bruised and swollen, and he fell to the ground.
Now he could no longer maintain his scholarly demeanor and said with a sullen face: "It's really lawless. Just wait, I'm going to sue the official!"
When Zhao Dazhuang heard that the other party was going to sue the official, he beat him He got even more fierce and wanted to beat Su Jin to death.
"Go and sue! Let's see who is afraid of whom! I have never been afraid of anyone in these ten miles and eight villages!"
When Mr. Zhao saw that the matter was serious, he hurriedly stepped forward to intervene. Zhao Dazhuang said, "Don't make this a big deal!"
Zhao Dazhuang pushed his father aside, "Dad, you are just timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Look at him if I don't beat him until he can't get up today." How to sue?”
Su Jin was a scholar, so his strength was naturally not as strong as Zhao Dazhuang's. He was pushed to the ground and beaten severely, and he had no ability to fight back.
He was yelling ouch, ouch, ouch, he was beaten extremely badly, his whole face was swollen like a pig's head, and his true appearance was completely unrecognizable.
If Old Man Zhao and the neighbor who heard the noise had not come out to start a fight, Su Jin would have lost half of his life here.
Su Jin knew that a good man would not suffer the immediate consequences, so he did not say any more threatening words to avoid incurring a more severe beating.
He endured his anger and got up from the ground, limped away with a gloomy face.
Yu Yao watched a good show in secret, and when she saw Su Jin leaving, she followed silently.
