SFS Chapter 228 No choice
Chapter 228 No choice
The Lin Hu they were looking for was currently in Yichun Garden, where Zhao Li was also present.
Zhao Li was supposed to leave a few days ago, but he was assassinated before he could even set off.
He lost half of his men; originally there were four, now there are only two, one of whom was seriously injured.
The other one wasn't seriously injured, but his condition wasn't much better because he was poisoned and would die soon without an antidote.
The people Zhao Li brought with him were all top-notch experts; otherwise, he wouldn't have only brought four with him.
But he just couldn't understand how his four top players could have been defeated by one person, and that person was currently in Yichun Garden.
Even so, he couldn't do anything to that person. He was all alone, and he couldn't beat that person, so he could only watch him continue to roam free.
The reason Lin Hu stayed here was because he had nowhere else to go!
With nowhere to go and no money on him, and since there were empty rooms here, he decided to stay.
After settling in, he found that living here was quite nice; at least the girls here all seemed to welcome him.
If Zhao Li were here, he would definitely roll his eyes. Of course, the girls welcome him ever since he came to stay here.
Whether they were inside or outside the compound, anyone who dared to cause trouble was beaten out by him.
After that, everyone who came here behaved properly, but in the last few days, no one has come here anymore.
Everyone's busy making a living, who has the time to spend money looking for girls?!
Lin Hu was sitting in the house with charcoal fire beside him, resting with his eyes closed, when footsteps came from outside.
Lin Hu didn't open his eyes when he heard the voice. Then he heard the owner of the footsteps say, "Brother Lin, there's some extra mutton in the restaurant today. Would you like some?"
"Brother Lin, I'm quite good at cooking, especially barbecue. How about I grill some lamb for you?"
Upon hearing that there was mutton to eat, Lin Hu opened his eyes: "It's still snowing outside, who brought this mutton?"
“He was a regular customer. When Hua Niang was around, we often ordered meat from him. For many years, the meat we ate in the courtyard was supplied by him.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Hu sat up and glanced at the mutton. After seeing the mutton, he immediately picked up the plate and threw it into the snow outside.
Honglan was startled, thinking Lin Hu was about to attack her. Seeing the meat being thrown away, she quickly said, "I'm sorry, Brother Lin, I didn't mean to..."
"Don't worry, I'll leave now. I won't bother you again. I'm sorry, I'll leave now..."
"Stop!" Honglan was interrupted before she could finish speaking. "Go tell the people in the yard to throw the meat away. Nobody is allowed to eat it."
"Anyone who eats this gets out of here, understand?"
"I've got it, I've got it. I'll go right now and make them throw the meat away."
Honglan lifted her skirt and left the backyard as quickly as possible. Lin Hu stood at the door, looking at the piece of meat in the yard that was almost covered by snow.
His eyes were filled with coldness.
Honglan went to the kitchen and immediately told them to throw the meat away. The cooks in the kitchen heard this and asked, "Sister Lan? Why are you throwing away perfectly good meat?"
"At a time like this, it's already a blessing to have meat to eat, especially such good meat. Why throw it away?"
"Just throw it away. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you don't throw it away, don't blame me for not warning you."
Honglan's last words were a bit frightening. Upon hearing them, the cook quickly put all the meat into a basket.
"Throw it away, throw it away! I'll throw it away right away, Sister Lan, please don't be angry. I'll throw all this meat away right away..."
Seeing that the cook had actually thrown the meat away, Honglan was relieved and warned the kitchen staff again before leaving.
"The following dishes cannot contain any meat. Anyone who disobeys will be kicked out. Don't come crying to me for help."
The words have already been spoken; if they still don't listen, then they'll just have to be kicked out.
Nobody understood why anyone would throw away perfectly good jerky, especially since there wasn't much left to eat!
Although they didn't understand, no one dared to disobey, because they didn't want to be kicked out in the dead of winter, when it was snowing.
The lunch was served without any oil or meat, and Lin Hu finished his entire portion without saying a word.
But Zhao Li refused to accept this. He kicked the table, and the food on it fell to the ground.
"Guards! Where have you all gone?"
He called out in the room for a long time, but no one answered. Enraged, Zhao Li opened the door and went to the backyard where Lin Hu lived.
"You did it, didn't you? You made them do it, didn't you?"
"None of them serve me properly, and when I cook, there's not even a hint of meaty smell. Did you teach them that?"
Lin Hu had just finished eating and was about to rest for a while when the man rushed in.
Without even asking a question, he rattled off a whole bunch of things. He opened his eyes and looked at him: "You want to eat meat?"
"I'm sorry, we don't have any left, because I told them to throw all the meat away."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Li looked at the smile on Lin Hu's face and wished he could draw his sword and chop the man down.
But he was still very self-aware. Thinking is one thing, doing is another. He knew he couldn't beat this person, so he didn't bring anything with him when he came down.
"You told them to throw the meat away? Are you out of your mind??"
Food is scarce these days, and meat is even more scarce. It's rare to have some meat, and this person actually threw it away.
If he doesn't eat, does that mean others won't eat?
"Yeah, I've gone crazy, what's it to you? You just want to eat meat, don't you?"
"Look, there's another piece in the yard. Why don't you have someone pick it up for you, wash it clean, and then cook it for you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Li looked at Lin Hu in disbelief: "You mean I... am a piece of meat picked up from the ground?"
"What's wrong? Is it not allowed? Isn't that meat?"
"Besides, all the meat in the kitchen was thrown away. Now there's only that one piece left. Whether you eat it or not, there's only that one piece..."
So whether or not to eat it, there's only one piece of meat in the entire Yichun Garden, there's simply no choice.
Zhao Li was furious. He was determined to kill this man, and not only kill him, but also tear him apart by five horses.
