SFS Chapter 170 Shut up
Chapter 170 Shut up
When the famine struck that year, he was already old enough to find his own food, but because of that, he was abandoned.
Actually, it wasn't entirely because of that. The main reason was that the family felt that if there was one more person, they would receive an extra portion of food.
They would eat a little, so in order to eat more, they forgot about him in that place.
Looking back on those days, Scarface felt it wasn't so bad. If he hadn't been living such a miserable life back then, he wouldn't be living such a good life now.
A snowfall swept away all the lush greenery on the mountain and in the fields. Without the greenery, the chickens and ducks had nothing to eat, let alone the people.
In town, Lin Cai took Xiao Chunhua and Hua Duo to buy some clothes. The two little girls didn't have enough winter clothes, so they needed to buy two more.
Just as they got off at the town's crossroads, an oxcart crashed into them, and Lin Cai pulled Xiao Chunhua behind her.
Huani also kept a close eye on her younger sister. She looked at the oxcart, but before she could say anything, she heard the oxcart's owner say, "Aren't you blind?"
"Don't you even watch where you're walking? If you damage my cow, can you afford to pay for it?"
Lin Cai was speechless when she heard this. These two girls weighed less than 200 pounds combined, yet they managed to damage a cow that weighed three or four hundred pounds.
Damn it, you can't bully people like this!
Seeing that the man was about to leave, Lin Cai grabbed Uncle Li's whip and lashed the cow's rump.
The man was not caught, and the bull, which had been whipped, charged out. Lin Cai returned the whip to Uncle Li and was about to leave when she heard...
"You're such a vicious girl! That man only said a few words, why did you hit his cow?"
"You scholar are so annoying! You reek of sourness and stench, it's absolutely disgusting!"
After Lin Cai finished speaking, she fanned her nose with her hand, and the scholar who had spoken turned red with anger upon seeing this.
"How can you wrong me like this, young lady? I was dressed neatly before I left home."
"Look, look! I only said a few words to you, and you're already so angry. You even made me, a young lady, act so fierce. You're such a petty scholar!"
"You say I'm poor and smelly, but that's not true. You've slandered me, and I'm not even allowed to defend myself?"
“That cowherd just now said we were blind, but I used my whip to prove to him that our eyesight is perfectly good. Was that wrong?”
Upon hearing this, the scholar stammered, "Miss Coco, you..."
"But what? What do you mean, 'but what'? I'm just telling you, don't meddle in other people's business, no matter what, understand?"
She didn't want to continue the conversation; this person was too annoying, and continuing to talk to him would only waste time.
She wanted to leave, but the scholar wouldn't let her go. Just as Lin Cai turned around, the scholar called out to her.
“Miss, I wasn’t meddling in your business, I was just…”
"Oh, I know you don't need to say it. You weren't meddling; you just saw injustice and stood up for yourself. Am I right?"
Lin Cai really wanted to roll her eyes at him. He was just trying to help someone in need, what did that have to do with her? Didn't he see that she already didn't want to talk to him anymore?
Upon hearing this, the scholar's expression turned rather sour, whether from embarrassment or anger.
He wanted to say something more, but before he could speak, he heard someone shout from behind, "Run! Run! Bandits are coming! Bandits are coming..."
The person running and shouting came towards them, and Lin Cai pulled Huani and the two little ones next to her to the side.
She saw the bloodstains on the person's body, and Lin Cai frowned. To be on the safe side, she quickly pushed Huani and the two little ones into a pile of weeds to cover them up.
Seeing Lin Cai's actions, Huani grabbed her, and Lin Cai took her off, talking as she hid someone.
"This place is messy and there's so much grass. No matter what, don't move. Wait until they're all gone before you leave, understand?"
"And what about you, Cai Cai? We've all hidden away, what about you?"
"Don't worry, I have my own way of handling things, but you'll have to keep an eye on these two children."
Lin Cai patted the two little ones: "Be good and listen to your big sister, go home and wait for me to come back, do you hear me?"
In the blink of an eye, everyone who was at the town's crossroads had fled, some even abandoning their oxcarts in their haste to escape.
Lin Cai left the place where Huani and the others were hiding, and hadn't run far when she heard voices behind her: "Stop! Where did this little wench come from? Where are you running to?"
Hearing the sound behind her, Lin Cai steadied herself, her fists clenched tightly. It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid, after all, this could really be fatal.
She turned around and looked at the people behind her, and saw five or six burly men carrying large knives walking towards her.
Lin Cai stood still and asked, "Brothers, what brings you here, little sister?"
"Oh my, I thought she was a haggard old woman, but it turns out she's a beautiful young bud!"
One of them saw Lin Cai and immediately started whistling.
Upon hearing his words, the others burst into laughter: "Hahaha, I say, Lao Ba, you're really shameless! That girl is so young, how can she withstand your teasing?"
Upon hearing this, Lao Ba, carrying a large curved sword, turned to look at his brother, then turned back to look at Lin Cai, who was standing there.
"Whether you can withstand it or not is none of my business, as long as you can withstand it in bed."
As soon as he said this, another burst of laughter erupted. They had no horses; they were all on foot, all in order to rob those passing by.
That was Lin Cai's initial impression when she first saw them, but when she saw the others, she realized just how large the bandits were.
They blocked the roads from each village to the town, and if anyone managed to escape, they would simply block the town entrance and intercept them.
Seeing this, Lin Cai had a guess in her mind. She only hoped that after Huani and the others were out of danger, she could take the two little ones to town instead of going home.
The news of their encounter with bandits on the road quickly spread to all the villages. Upon learning of this, Lin Bao immediately went to the Gu family.
Then Scarface said, "They left very early this morning, taking both kids with them. Maybe..."
"Maybe my ass! Shut the hell up and don't say another word. Damn it, you've been eating here for so long, why didn't you come with me?"
Before he could finish speaking, he was inexplicably scolded, and Scarface immediately narrowed his eyes.
