Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1000 Young people can’t say no!
  "What!" Tianming stared blankly at Master Ban who was blocking him in front of him, and yelled, "Still working!?"

"Otherwise?" Master Ban put his hand on his normal arm and asked cheerfully, "Young man, you can't always think about things that get something for nothing."

"If you don't do something for a day, you won't do it for a day. This is the rule passed down by our Mohist ancestor."

"But...but this is not your Mo family, this is Jinghu Medical Village!" Tianming argued hard.

Master Ban was not surprised by his desperate struggle, and replied proudly, "This is indeed not the Mo family, but Miss Rong thought this rule was good, so she applied it."

"Except for patients who cannot move, everyone else living in the medical village must abide by this rule, otherwise, there will be no food."

"Haha, I'm still a child and a patient's family member, so I don't have to be like this, right?" Tianming tried his best to squeeze out a flattering smile, and You struggled to say without giving up.

Master Ban nodded politely, but did not give Tianming the answer he wanted, "That's right, so you can do less."

"But if you have a big appetite, you still have to work more."

"How much work you do, how much food you eat!"

Tianming's fake smile completely froze on his face, and he asked in a dull tone, "Then...then Chitaki and the others also have to work?"

"Of course!" Master Ban asked righteously, "Don't you think that doing little Qiantaki's job for Miss Rong is not considered labor?"

"What about Sister Yuki-onna?"

"She will help Miss Rong take care of the medicine field behind."

"how about you?"

"I'm not going to work." Master Ben was delighted and gloated, deliberately irritating Tian Ming and said, "Old man, I'm going to leave right away, and I won't stay to eat."

"Of course, if you are tolerant enough and willing to go to the government city, you can bear it without eating. I will pick you up in a few days to take you to the government city. You can eat as much as you want there."

How many days have you been hungry?
  After a few days of starvation, you can collect the corpse for me!

Tian Ming rolled his eyes and secretly cursed the old man in front of him, but he subconsciously asked, "Isn't the Mo family the same rule? How can we eat?"

"Because at that time, you were a guest of the Mo family." Master Ban explained seriously, "Guests, of course, do not have to obey this rule."

"I'm also a guest here!" Tianming couldn't accept this explanation at all.

"No, you are not." Master Ban denied his statement.

Tian Ming bit his head and argued, "No, I am!"

"Okay, old man, let me ask you, have you paid the consultation fee?"

"Pay...the medical...fee!" There were three words in total. Tianming's tone also jumped three times in a row. He could hardly close his mouth and could only stumble and say, "We are all children of the world. We often talk about money." Outside!"

"So just work honestly." Master Ben smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, "Come with me."

"Oh..." For the sake of his stomach, Tianming had no choice but to succumb to the rules of the doctor's office. He lowered his head and followed Master Ben.

After walking a few steps, the two of them arrived at the well. Master Ben waved his hand and pointed at the water tank beside the well, "Your task is to fetch water and fill the water tank."

Tianming's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide as he looked up at the huge water tank, which was half a head taller than himself. He was speechless for a long time.

Master Ben kindly urged, "Hurry up, otherwise you may not be able to finish a bowl of rice before dinner time."

A three-layer wooden ladder is thoughtfully placed next to the water tank to ensure that the person fetching water will not be unable to reach the side of the tank.

Tianming stepped up and took a look inside!
  Good news, the tank is not empty.

Bad news, only one third water.

Tianming asked with a trembling voice, "This... I want to fill it up?"

"Uh..." Master Ben pondered for a moment, then made some calculations, "No need, if it's just a bowl of rice, you can just make half of it."

Tianming looked at the small bucket by the well, and then at the water tank, which was wider than his waist and wider than his own body, and felt his eyes darken. Seeing this, Master Ban showed a satisfied smile, patted Tianming on the shoulder and comforted him, "You are lucky, you are just carrying water."

"If someone else hadn't been doing the work of chopping firewood recently, you would only be more tired!"

This water tank looks big, but in fact it can only hold dozens of buckets of water at most. It is much easier than splitting a pile of firewood the size of an entire wall.

Tianming no longer wanted to listen to what Master Ban said, and he didn't even bother to care who the person chopping wood was.

He just wanted to research whether there were edible things like pheasants, hares, wild fruits, etc. on this island.

Well... at least there should be fish in the lake, which might help sustain me for a few days.

"Okay, just take your time, old man, it's time for me to leave."

"Oh, walk slowly..." Tianming was still in a daze, and his brain didn't even react unnaturally. He just mechanically replied with the most commonly used polite words.

Master Ben looked at it and shook his head, smoothed his beard, smiled, and left with a sigh.

After Tianming stayed there for a long time, he still lamented and accepted his fate. He walked with heavy steps to the well and began to repeat the process of fetching water.

Tianming Shaoxia has never been weaker than others in his life and has never been afraid of any difficulties.

He can shamelessly bully the class master, but the problem of eating...

It's really impossible to ask him to go to the rice cooker and grab food like a hungry ghost!
  ………………

"Hahaha……"

After Qianlong finished working with Duan Murong and walked out of the lobby of the medical village, he saw Tianming lying on the ground like a dead dog by the well in the corner of the courtyard, breathing heavily. The ground around him was full of water stains.

She walked over quickly and asked with concern, "Tianming, what are you doing?"

"Ha... work... ha... carry water!" Tianming gasped and tried his best to answer Qiantaki.

He also wanted to straighten his back and stand up, but unfortunately he tried several times but failed.

Chitaki nodded suddenly, "Oh yes, you have to work."

"Then how much water did you drink?"

Tianming really didn't have the strength to speak, so he could only point to the water tank and motioned for her to look at it.

Chitaki approached the water tank and stood on tiptoe to take a glance...

Uh...it doesn't seem to be very different from what she saw this morning.

"This... I'm afraid you won't have enough to eat tonight." Chitaki warned carefully.

Tianming lay on the ground, looking at the sky with a pair of eyes.

He didn't know enough, but what could he do? He was helpless!

Everyone was almost tired, so they managed to fetch almost ten buckets of water, which was about half of what Master Ban said was enough for a bowl of rice.

The rest... can only starve.

To be honest, he didn't expect that the bucket didn't look big, and it wasn't particularly heavy to carry after it was filled with water, but using the bucket to draw water from the well would be so tiring on the waist and arms.

Tianming, who has been homeless since childhood, once again laments this helpless life...

Why does it feel like living in this medical village is more difficult than wandering!

At this time, Ah Ci, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared again. He squatted in front of Tianming's head with his hands on his knees, and met his eyes.
