Chapter 2 Li Laocai suffers, Qin Xuemei [ask for recommendation votes]

Li Laocai's body tilted and his fat body rolled down the ridge of the field. He wiped his hands with blood and suddenly let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, which made anyone who heard it feel heartbroken.

"master!"

"Master, are you okay? Why is there a nail? Oh my God!"

Chen Pu and another strong servant were horrified. Be careful of the nails under their feet, they went down the ridge of the field to help Li Laocai up, but found that there was a nail stuck in the master's right foot, which had pierced through the sole of the shoe and into the sole of the foot, causing blood to flow.

Moreover, there was a rusty iron nail stuck next to the master's buttocks, and a small piece of wood was covered on the nail cap. The wood piece should have been buried in the soil to fix the nail, and it was still covered with soil.

Blood gushed out, staining Li Laocai's brocade robe red.

Chen Pu and the strong servant were all panicked when they saw the blood on the ground.

"what"

"Hurry up! I'm going to Baicaotang to find Doctor Bai. Ouch, it hurts!"

At this moment, Li Laocai could neither sit nor stand up. He lay on the ground on his side, screaming in pain.

"Hurry, hurry, carry me to Baicaotang!"

Chen Pu gave an order to the sturdy servants beside him, and the two of them carried Li Laocai away on their backs. Not far from them, in the dry grass, there was a coin bag the size of a palm and the same color as the dry grass. It was difficult to find without a close look.

"Ok?"

"This old killer finally got caught! So cool!"

"Humph! This is just an appetizer. You actually plotted against me! I won't stop until I kill you!"

Qin Wang hid in the thatch by the earthen bank, watching the Li family servant carrying Li Laocai to Baicaotang in the market, and immediately walked quickly towards the place where Li Laocai was stabbed.

Not long after.

Qin Wang arrived at the spot where the nails were buried. He looked around and saw a khaki-colored money bag tied with string amidst a clump of dry grass. His eyes lit up immediately. "Found it!"

Qin Wang picked up the purse, stuffed it into his arms, collected the remaining eight nails, and headed towards the woods in the opposite direction.

This is behind the market.

When Li Laocai came to his senses and realized that his wallet was missing, he would definitely investigate who was there to bury the nails on the ridge. Although Qin Wang was wearing a black hat that covered half of his face and a bulky cotton coat, so his appearance could not be seen, it was still not safe.

It would be best to make a big turn and go home without arousing suspicion.

Behind Qingniuji is a hilly area.

This place is about eight miles away from Qingniuji. It is a cemetery and few people come here usually.

Most of the people in Qingniu Ji were buried here after their death. The area was surrounded by maple trees three or four feet high, and the ground was covered with rotten leaves, giving off a rotten smell.

Seeing no one around, Qin Wang sat down under a thick maple tree. Full of anticipation, he took out his purse, untied the string, and found it was filled with small change. He counted it, and his eyes lit up. "Eighteen taels of small change! Great! Add to that the three taels I already had, that's twenty-one taels in total! I've got the entrance fee to the martial arts gym!"

Qin Wang immediately put the silver coins carefully into his arms, then buried Li Laocai's purse secretly. After cleaning up the traces, he got up and continued to walk back.

Lijiazhuang is located in the southwest of Qingniuji.

It covers an area of ​​six or seven acres, has four courtyards, and is surrounded by a wall more than ten feet high. The courtyard is very large, with rockery, lotus pond, pavilions, and various landscape trees. It is very quiet and elegant.

There were more than twenty slaves and servants in Lijiazhuang, as well as four guards.

The second courtyard is a classical-style room.

"Ouch~~~"

"Who the hell put nails on the ridge of the field? It hurts so much!"

Li Laocai lay on the couch, groaning and cursing the man who buried the nails. He was covered with two layers of quilts, with only his head exposed. The doors and windows were ventilated, and there was a pot of charcoal fire in the middle of the room.

Beside his bed, three maids were waiting nervously.

After the doctor from Baicaotang removed the nails and bandaged his wounds, he prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine and told him not to go out after returning home, and to keep warm. "Sir, I took three men and searched the area around the field several times, but we couldn't find your purse."

At this time, the housekeeper, Chen Pu, entered the room and said respectfully, "However, I asked several households along the ridge. Five people passed by during the time you were injured. Three of them were tenants from Qingniu Village, and I couldn't see the other two clearly."

"Keep looking!"

"Bring these five people here and interrogate them! The purse must be recovered!"

Li Laocai glared and scolded.

That was eighteen taels of silver, enough to buy three maids and servants. To just throw it away like that was like cutting into his own flesh!
"Yes, sir!"

Chen Pu responded respectfully and turned away.

"Why am I so unlucky!"

"Ouch."

Li Laocai looked at Chen Pu's back with a depressed look in his eyes. His feet and buttocks were pierced by nails, and he also lost silver. He now felt a tightness in his chest.

"Master, Mrs. Yan wants to see you. She is in the front hall now."

At this time, a maid in green came in and said respectfully.

"Yan Po? All of you go out and let her in!"

Li Laocai remembered the agreement with Yan Po. Over the years, he had made a lot of money relying on Yan Po.

Yanyun County.

One of the four major families, the Chen family, laundry room.

This is a courtyard near the back of the Chen family mansion. The courtyard is about a hundred feet in radius and is filled with bamboo poles for drying clothes. Most of the poles are used to hang clothes of various colors. Ten girls in coarse linen clothes are washing dirty clothes in a large wooden basin in front of them.

In the wooden basin next to them, there were piles of wrung-out clothes, pestles and soap nuts.

"Sister Xuemei, were you sold here because your family is so large?"

At this time, one of the skinny girls looked at the girl next to her who was busy washing clothes and asked.

"I came in voluntarily."

Qin Xuemei glanced at Xiao Zi who was speaking, with worry in her eyes. She had been out for nearly two months and didn't know how her brother was doing. 600 coins were enough to get through the winter, but could he take care of himself?

What will he do if he loses his land?
"Volunteering? Why?"

Xiao Zi looked puzzled.

Her parents sold her to the Chen family because they couldn't support three children. Otherwise, who would be willing to be a lowly laundry slave?
"Well, if I sell myself, my brother can live."

Qin Xuemei continued to work as she spoke, whispering, "Xiao Zi, don't talk while you work. If you don't complete your task, you won't eat, and you'll be whipped. Also, be especially careful with expensive clothes. If you ruin them, the consequences will be serious."

The Chen family is large and they have a lot of clothes to change every day. In addition to washing clothes, the 10 laundry slaves also have other tasks every day. They almost never have time to rest and even have to jog to the toilet.

Failure to complete the task will result in starvation and whipping as punishment.

This is still relatively light.

Especially the clothes of the young masters, young ladies and ladies, you have to be careful when washing them. If you damage them, not only will you be beaten, but you will also have to pay for it. She heard that two laundry servants were beaten to death because they damaged a piece of clothing belonging to the eldest lady.

She and Xiao Zi filled this gap.

"Oh, I know."

Xiao Zi's expression tightened. He didn't dare to say anything more and buried his head in his work.

She has been here for three days and can only talk to Qin Xuemei. The other sisters who do laundry are silent.
