Pig Killer

Chapter 203

These little guys have quite a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

There is no pork now. If there was pork, I could make dumplings, buns and wontons for her.

Shen Hui'e felt very happy while eating. The children had improved their cooking skills and they would never go hungry again.

While in prison, Shen Hui'e also asked for her own toothbrush and various daily necessities, and there was also hot water available.

This prison is okay to live in except that it is dark and drafty.

Half a month later, the autumn harvest was over and the imperial edict for grain collection came down.

Just as Shen Hui'e had guessed, not only all the grain from the autumn harvest had to be handed over, but also the corn, soybeans, and mung beans could not be kept and had to be handed over.

It’s really unbelievable that they didn’t leave any food for anyone!

He is courting death and no one can stop him!

Yay! In the end, I still owed taxes to the court, which I will pay during the summer harvest next year.

This doesn't give the farmers any chance to make a living. It's really a death wish.

This time, the officials who collected grain not only took away the seeds that were left, but also looted everything in the house.

Their attitude was extremely bad. Conflicts occurred when harvesting grain and they directly beat farmers.

This ignited everyone's long-accumulated anger, and they picked up their hoes and beat the grain collecting officials to death.

The farmers gathered together, carrying hoes, sickles and fire sticks and attacked the county government office.

The jailer ran in with the key and opened the cell door.

"Why is it so noisy outside!" Shen Hui'e looked at him in surprise and said, "What are you doing?"

"Pig-killing lady, please leave quickly!" said the jailer as he pulled out the chain on the prison door.

"I can hear that the farmers are attacking the county government office!" Shen Hui'e said to him with raised eyebrows.

"Yes!" the jailer trembled all over and said, "Mrs. Pig-killer, please say something nice to me. I have never abused you or criticized you. On the contrary, I worship you like an ancestor!"

"Thank you for your care these days." Shen Hui'e said with her hands clasped together.

"No thanks, no thanks, just plead for me." The jailer said to him with his hands clasped.

"Stay here and don't move around." Shen Hui'e came out of the cell and looked at him and warned, "No one will come here."

"Oh! I understand, I understand." The jailer nodded hurriedly.

"By the time I come back to get my things, everything will probably be fine outside." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with her ink-black eyes.

"Got it." The jailer nodded vigorously, "I'm not going anywhere."

The sound of hurried footsteps came from far away, "Mother, mother." Li Nu looked at her anxiously and shouted.

"Let's go!" Shen Hui'e walked over quickly and asked Huang Shuchang, "What's going on outside?"

"It's a mess!" Huang Shuchang looked at him excitedly in panic and said, "They are attacking the county government office, smashing and looting everything. They are bloodthirsty."

"Mother can't control it at all." Da Chong said solemnly, "They have started to attack the rich families in the city again."

"Fourth brother, where are our people?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with calm eyes.

"Our people didn't participate, and now we don't know what to do?" Huang Shuchang scratched his head and said, "I'm here to look for my second sister-in-law."

"Old Four, take our people to control the granary first." Shen Hui'e looked at him with cold eyes and said, "Shout to them to open the granary and release the grain."

Huang Shuchang's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said, "They will calm down if they have food." He smiled and said, "I'll go now."

"Wait a minute, if anyone ignores your shouts and dares to attack you, I will kill them without mercy." Shen Hui'e said murderously.

"I understand." Huang Shuchang nodded with a stern look in his eyes. "There must be people trying to take advantage of the situation and rob people."

"Don't let them burn down the county government office. Go to the county government office and find the account book, which records the amount of taxes paid by each household." Shen Hui'e shouted at his back.

"Got it." Huang Shuchang nodded solemnly, "I'll go now."

"What about us?" the big tiger asked her with his black eyes.

"Let's go home! I want to take a shower and change my clothes." Shen Hui'e looked at herself with disdain and said, "It's all rotten."

"Mother, where are your things?" said the cat slave, looking at her empty hands.

"Let's go back and pack our things." Shen Hui'e turned and walked back toward the cell, saying as she walked, "Where are Xiaodouzi and the others?"

"We are watching our home! We are afraid they will attack our home." The big tiger looked at her with a dark face and said, "They are like wild beasts that have lost their minds, rushing around recklessly."

Shen Hui'e and the others packed up their belongings in the cell and left.

"When the gong is sounded and everyone is asked to collect food, it means the situation has been brought under control and everything will be fine." Shen Hui'e looked at the jailer with her bright dark eyes.

"Understood, understood." The jailer nodded hurriedly, "I'll wait for the sound of the gong."

&*&

Every household on the street had their doors closed, but from time to time a head would pop out from the wall to see what was going on outside.

"Pig-killing lady." They stared at her with wide eyes and said, "You came out."

"Yes! I'm out." Shen Hui'e greeted with a smile.

"If you are out, go home quickly. The streets are not peaceful. Listen...they are all bloodthirsty."

"I know. I'll go home now." Shen Hui'e said to them with a smile.

"I don't know what's going on with the county government."

Shen Hui'e's dark eyes flashed when she heard this, but she had no way of answering them.

Shen Hui'e returned home and took a shower first. When she came out steaming, she stared at Da Chong and the others in wide eyes.

"Have you eaten?" Shen Hui'e said to them with eyes as gentle as jade.

"Mother, it's like this outside, how can you still eat?" The raccoon looked at her with eyes as round as black grapes.

"I'm hungry. I need to eat." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her shiny black eyes and said, "No matter how big the matter is, we should eat first." She looked at them in panic and said, "You will have strength only after you are full." She looked at them with a raised eyebrow and said, "I still don't believe that your uncle can control the situation."

"That's not the case. They have bows and arrows, and swords in their hands, while those who are attacking the county government office are holding hoes and sickles..." The big tiger looked at her with its black eyes and said.

"That's it, what are you afraid of?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, walked to the stove, opened the lid and said, "Ah! Vegetable porridge is ready."

"Well! Just as it was done, there was a commotion outside." Li Nu came over and looked at her and said.

"Don't say anything, let's eat first." Shen Hui'e looked up at them and said, "Bring bowls and serve the rice!"

Each person had two bowls of vegetable porridge and some thin soup to fill their stomachs. After they were full, Shen Hui'e asked them how things were going at home.

"We take good care of ourselves." said the big insect, patting his chest.

"We have been helping with the autumn harvest." The raccoon looked at her warmly with his black grape-like eyes and said regretfully, "It's a pity that all the food has been confiscated."

"Now I'm back again." Shen Hui'e winked at them and said.

"Have you planted the wheat?" Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with her deep, clear eyes.

"It's gone. We haven't had time to plant it yet." Hearing this, the big bug looked at her with his dark eyes and said honestly, "We were just going to plant wheat these two days, and something went wrong."

"Then let's plant wheat quickly and don't miss the farming season." Shen Hui'e said to them with clear eyes.

"Hmm!" The big bug looked at her with his black eyes and smiled, "Mother, how are our cooking skills?"

"It's getting better!" Shen Hui'e gave them a thumbs up and said, "It's getting more and more delicious. We can set up a stall now."

"Haha..." Da Chong and the others blushed when they were praised.

"Why are you so shy? New and novel food is very attractive." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "Is everything alright at home?"

"It's okay, it's okay. It's calm during the harvest season." The big tiger looked at her with his black eyes and said.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Shen Hui'e and others heard the sound of gongs coming from outside.

"Patta..." The chopsticks in Li Nu's hand fell on the square table.

The sound of the gong cast a shadow in my heart.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. This time we will open the granary and release grain." Shen Hui'e said, grabbing Li Nu's cold hand.

Sure enough, a clear voice was heard coming from outside: every household took sacks and went to the door of the granary to collect food.

The person who was shouting had a very loud voice and could be heard clearly.

"This is Uncle San's voice." Da Chong ran out excitedly.

"Come back, come back, don't disturb your third uncle." Shen Hui'e waved at him.

"Let me ask Uncle San what's going on outside." Da Chong asked her, looking back while picking up the straw curtain.

"Is there any need to ask? The situation must be under control." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes and said, "Stay quiet and don't cause trouble for your uncle and the others."

"Oh!" Da Chong put down the straw curtain and sat on the bed again.

Shen Hui'e looked at him, who was unable to sit down as if needles were pricking his buttocks, and said, "Why are you panicking? Sit tight."

The big insect opened and closed its mouth for a long time, and said with a grunt, "Aren't you curious, mother?"

"What's there to be curious about?" Shen Hui'e looked at them calmly and said, "Aren't you afraid of being scared?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" the big tiger said, looking at her with its big black eyes.

"It's like a flood, with a hideous look that submerges everything." Shen Hui'e said to them expressionlessly.

"Uncle has the situation under control, don't be afraid!" said the big tiger, looking at him with its bright eyes.

"The looting, smashing, burning and smashing are really fun to watch!" Shen Hui'e said to them unhappily.

"We are not going to look for those things. We are going to look for Uncle." The big insect said cleverly, "Uncle needs help! Auntie said account books? Uncle can't read, how can he read them?"

"That's a good reason." Shen Hui'e looked at him with curved eyebrows and shook her head and laughed.

"Let's wash the dishes first before we go." Shen Hui'e said, pointing at the dishes on the square table.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Xiao Douzi picked up Luo Hao's bowl quickly, "You guys go! Uncle Huang needs you."

"Then let's go." Shen Hui'e said, looking at them gently.

Shen Hui'e and her friends left the house and went straight to the granary, where a long line formed outside.
