Chapter 88: Outnumbered?!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This voice was like a bolt of lightning, scaring Mrs. He out of her wits.
The reason she chose to come in the afternoon was that she knew that Lu Ze wasn’t at home! If she had known that Lu Ze would come back so early, she wouldn’t have dared to come here to cause trouble!
” I’m here to, to, to talk to Madam Liu. Yes, to talk!”
Mrs. He couldn’t speak coherently. She didn’t have any other intentions now. She only wanted to escape from this devil in front of her!
What a joke! Others might not know, but she knew!
For his wife, Gu Erlang had killed more than one person!
Previously, five people had offended his wife. Later on, they were all beaten to death by him!
“What did you come to say? You want to burn my wife to death?!”
Lu Ze’s expression didn’t improve at all. He glared at Mrs. He, who was three to four inches shorter. He didn’t intend to show any respect to this sly troublemaker who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
“Are you bullying me because there was no one at home?! Her husband only went out to hunt. He didn’t die outside! On account of your age, I can let you off this time, but next time…”
At this point, Lu Ze snorted as he raised his hand and waved the bleeding rabbit in front of Mrs. He. He warned murderously, “I’ll send you to hell the way this rabbit died!”
Mrs. He screamed and fainted…
Most of the people who came with Mrs. He were actually here to watch the drama. When facing the weak Lin Suisui, they criticized her heavily and helped Mrs. He bully her!
These people were struggling to survive, so they felt envious when they saw that Lin Suisui had a capable husband who was favored by a noble like Mr. Pei!
Why?!
Why could she have such a good life?!
They couldn’t see Lin Suisui’s merits, nor could they see her efforts. Their hearts were filled with hatred and malice. They wanted to slander her and ruin her reputation forever!
However, these people were often the most cowardly!
Despite how brazen and self-righteous they were when they came over, after being frightened by Lu Ze, they lost their wits. In less than ten minutes, the group of people outside had run away.
Even Mrs. He, who had fainted from fright, was dragged away by a few people!
“They’re just a group of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong!” Wu Liu came in from outside and spat disdainfully at the people outside.
Lin Suisui didn’t want to waste time on the group of people who came just now. She looked at Lu Ze and said worriedly, “You guys came back early today.”
According to the time they usually returned from the mountain, they had indeed returned a little early today.
“I’m fine. I was lucky today. I encountered two wild boars hunting alone.”
Lu Ze handed the rabbit in his hand to Wu Liu and asked him to wash it and peel it. “This way, we won’t have to worry so much tomorrow or when we get back on the road in a few days.”
Obviously, Lu Ze and the others were quite satisfied with this trip.
However, their gains naturally made the envy of the surrounding people rise to a new level.
Yesterday, Pei Qian had already instructed someone to distribute the food Du Yuanyi had transported to each family according to the population. Adult men could only get 20 catties of coarse grain at most. Although it was a considerable supplement for the people in the refugee camp, they still had at least a month of travel left. This amount of food was clearly not enough!
The replenishment was actually very limited!
Not everyone was as good at hunting as Gu Erlang and the others. Even with the soldiers guiding them, there weren’t many who gained anything in the end.
Therefore, Lu Ze and the others’ gains were like pouring a ladle of water into a boiling pot of oil. The entire refugee camp was in an uproar overnight because of Lu Ze and the others’ gains.
The next morning, more refugees came to cause trouble. However, without exception, they all looked indignant and angry, as if Little White wasn’t a tiger cub, but a monster that could devour humans!
Perhaps because there were many people this time, Mrs. He, who had suffered yesterday, was clearly much more confident this time. She no longer wanted to beat Little White to death. Instead, she wanted compensation.
As for the compensation, it was naturally the two wild boars that Lu Ze and the others had caught yesterday!
The group of people spoke at once, as if they were worried that they wouldn’t have a chance. They demanded that Lin Suisui and Lu Ze give them an explanation.
“Think about the people in our refugee camp! We’re all farmers. What if such a dangerous animal hurts someone?!
Besides, there’s a huge shortage of food now. How much meat will a tiger eat?!
Madam Liu, didn’t you always say that you’re a benevolent doctor?! Why aren’t you thinking for everyone’s sake now?!
How many people can the meat your tiger will consume save?!
It’s obvious that you’re just a hypocrite!”
Mrs. He finally found an excuse this time. Her tone was more imposing than anyone else.
“What does what my family does have to do with you?!
Besides, I did say that I’m a benevolent doctor, but I only know how to treat patients. I’m not good at anything else!
“Mrs. He, if you had just told the truth and said that you just can’t stand the fact that we’re living a better life than you, I would’ve admired your honesty. But now, you’re pretentiously saying that you’re thinking for other people’s sake. How disgusting!”
Lin Suisui squeezed out from behind Lu Ze and stared at Mrs. He with a mocking expression. Not only did she retort to Mrs. He, but she also didn’t forget to retaliate and warn the surrounding people who were waiting to take a share of the pie. “I also know the reason you guys came here today is that Mrs. He told you that as long as everyone targets us together, the two of us will be outnumbered!
“But don’t forget, we’ve survived all sorts of ordeals. When we haven’t we defeated the strong despite being outnumbered?!”
