Chapter 122 Can't you afford to play?
Of course, they didn't actually throw it out; they just had people tie the blankets together with rope and carry it into the yard.
Hong Lin seemed surprised to be treated this way. After realizing what had happened, she glared fiercely at Lin Long.
"You jerk, you can't handle this!"
Honglin was forced to stand in the yard; she had injured her leg and could feel excruciating pain even while standing on the ground.
"Who's going to play with you in the middle of the night?"
"I just accidentally missed a step and fell, hitting you. I didn't do it on purpose, how could you treat me like this?"
After Honglin finished speaking, she looked at Lin Long sitting at the door with a wronged expression. The black cloth covering her face had been torn off.
However, it was nighttime, and even with torches lit in the courtyard, it was still difficult to clearly see the aggrieved look on Honglin's face.
But the person involved didn't know that the wronged look on her face never stopped, after Lin Long heard what Hong Lin said.
He tugged at his coat and looked at her strangely: "Did you accidentally step into a hole? You stepped on it with perfect precision."
Atai saw this from the side and went up to the boss: "Boss, this woman is pretending to be pitiful."
Honglin immediately exploded upon hearing this: "You dead man, what a show-off!"
"My legs are killing me right now, and you still say I'm faking it? You try faking it for me, then..."
She was telling the truth; her right leg was in excruciating pain. Perhaps to prove that what she said was true, Honglin lost her balance and fell to the side as soon as she finished speaking.
The person holding the torch saw the person fall down and almost dropped the torch.
Honglin thought that if she fell, someone would catch her, but to her surprise, the person closest to her was preoccupied with the torch in his hand and did not reach out to catch her.
Isn't she more important than a fire?
Although the red phosphorus that fell to the ground didn't feel much pain, it felt dizzy when it bounced back up.
Lin Long looked at the silkworm pupa on the ground with disgust, and had his men help the person up and arrange a chair for them.
After taking a quick look, he handed the person over to Atai and went back to his room to sleep.
When Honglin saw him leave like that, and that she was still tied up there, she started screaming.
But before he could utter two shouts, his mouth was gagged.
On the other side, Hua Niang's face never looked good after she returned. She opened her room door and saw two women sitting in her room, eating the pastries in her room.
Hearing the door open, the two turned around at the same time: "Hua Niang, you're back. Did you have any luck tonight?"
Hua Niang took off the black veil covering her face and threw it on the table: "Why are you in my room instead of sleeping properly?"
"Of course we're here to get firsthand information! You left without even telling us. Since we can't catch up with you, we'll just have to wait here."
Hearing these two women talk about their dishes so matter-of-factly, Hua Niang wanted to kick them out immediately.
She changed her clothes, sat down, glanced at the table and frowned, then looked up and saw the two of them still eating.
"Don't you have any in your rooms? You all come here to eat. Eating so much so late at night, how will you be able to sleep when you get back?"
She looked at the two women with disdain, but after listening to what she said, they didn't care at all and kept talking.
"We don't have any of these good things in our house, such as Baixiangzhai's pastries, Judelou's candied fruit, or Hongyelou's tea."
Upon hearing this, Hua Niang slammed her hand on the table: "Get out, get out, all of you! All you ever think about is this stuff, you're all like starving ghosts reincarnated..."
The two who were being scolded glanced at each other and, as quickly as possible, swept everything on the table except for the tea into their laps.
After confirming that nothing had been missed, the two left the room with smiles on their faces.
Upon hearing a loud bang, the two people standing at the door suddenly realized something.
"Have we forgotten something?"
"It seems like I've forgotten something!"
As they walked into their room, they talked: "So what exactly did we forget?"
"I don't know, I can't remember!"
As they returned to their respective rooms and turned to close the door, they suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! I remember now..."
The two then stepped out of the room and looked at their companion next door: "Where's the other person?"
Two went out, and one came back. What about the other one?
The two glanced at each other, and remembering what Hua Niang had said earlier, they immediately grabbed their things, went back to their room, and closed the door.
Lin Cai raised a wolf cub, and Gu Dachui and Ershi worried every day that the wolf cub's mother might come looking for her.
Ershi had no idea how many times he had asked his older brother to secretly release the little wolf back onto the mountain.
"Big brother, please help me! If you don't help me, I won't be able to steal the wolf cubs!"
Ershi grabbed his older brother, crying and shouting, but Gu Dachui had no time to pay attention to him. He was going to town to pick up his sister and wife today, and he didn't have time to discuss with him how to steal that wolf cub.
"What are you talking about? Do you dare to steal? If you actually do steal, see if she kicks you out right away."
Lin Cai had been raising that wolf like a dog, so how could she possibly steal it and release it back into the mountains?
Even if I told Lin Cai now that it wasn't a dog at all, but a wolf, that woman probably wouldn't believe me.
"Then what should we do? Aren't you afraid that the wolf cub's parents will come looking for us?"
"If we wanted to find them, we would have found them long ago. Why wait until now? But you're lucky to have found a wolf cub without parents."
If they had parents, they would probably have already suffered, instead of waiting until now.
When Ershi heard his older brother say that the wolf cub had no parents, he thought back to when he first saw it; the little guy was already skin and bones.
He was shot in the leg with an arrow and couldn't even run. If he were a strong little guy, he probably would have run away long ago.
While his younger brother was still in a daze, Gu Dachui quickly headed towards the town. By the time Ershi realized what was happening, there was no one in front of him anymore.
Gu Dachui wanted to see his wife as soon as possible, so he quickened his pace on the way to town. When he arrived in town, he went straight to Caixiu Pavilion without any delay.
When Xiuxiu saw him arrive, she quickly ushered him inside. He and the landlady had already gotten to know each other when Gu Dachui came to deliver things to his wife before.
"Hey, Brother Hammer, what brings you here today? Is it your partner...?"
