Chapter 43 The Brotherhood

Quan Erlang wiped his sweat and said to Yang Dalang in front: "Brother, since he has discovered the mine vein, why not report to Fangcheng government nearby? He has to travel dozens of miles to report to the yamen where the field affairs are, so he is exhausted!"

Yang Dalang didn't look back: "Brother, this matter is a big deal. We have worked hard for so many days, so don't complain. How can the people in the county government trust us? We report it, and they believe it and say it. What can we do if we don't believe it? Not to mention deceiving our superiors and concealing our subordinates and taking our credit."

Quan Erlang said: "Fangcheng County cannot trust it, can it be trusted by the Yingtian Affairs Office? It's different that a group of dog officials are sitting inside!"

Yang Erlang said: "How is the same? The Bangwen was issued by the field affairs, and they are most anxious about this matter."

During many days in the mountains, I finally found many mineral seedlings. After confirming the mineral veins, I had to travel for another 100 or 200 miles. Quan Erlang felt it was hard and complained all the way. Fortunately, no matter how he said it, he still kept following Yang Dalang honestly. He was still aware that it was important to receive the reward.

To the north of Qingtai Town is Luoqu Town, which is also surrounded by blocked water and has convenient transportation. When you walk towards blocked water, you will find the old pond built by the Han and Tang Dynasties, with a large number of ponds distributed along the river. Due to the convenient irrigation, the population here is slightly denser than that of Qingtai Town.

There is a servant in the town, with a few hectares of land at home, and a home is very wealthy. The owner has two sons and one daughter, both sons and daughters. His wife died a few years ago and married a young woman, but she had married a son and a daughter.

The son he brought over was Qi Feng, and he came to the family of the official and changed his name to Luo Feng with the surname of the official. When he entered the new family, his two brothers could not tolerate him and often bullied him. The eldest brother was better, but his second brother was very bad, and he was beaten and scolded at every turn.

On this day, Luo Feng picked up a little starling in the wild. He was very clever and took it home to raise it. When the second brother saw that he was jealous and wanted to fight, the two started fighting. If Luo Feng knew that his people were under the eaves, he would give in to his brother and dare not fight seriously. This time he liked the starling, and he did not dare to give in. He made a heavy move, broke the second brother's head, and the defendant went to the eldest brother.

The eldest brother called Luo Feng in front of him, looked at him, and said, "Dad has been to Fangcheng these days, and before leaving, he will hand over the family affairs to me. Let the brothers be harmonious and not cause trouble, so as not to be laughed at by the neighbors. I teach you every day, why don't you listen and break your second brother's head?"

Although the eldest brother didn't like him, he just spoke coldly and never turned his face. Luo Feng was not afraid of him. He raised his neck and said with a whisper: "I picked up a starling and raised it myself. My second brother insisted on taking it away. How could I give in!"

The eldest brother said coldly: "Brother, you broke your head shell for a bird, and you are not sure how wrong!"

Luo Feng said: "It was him who came to steal my bird, and then hit me first. He broke his head, but he was not helping himself!"

The eldest brother said with a cold face: "You are unwilling to admit your mistake? The elders and young people are orderly. What is the second brother who wants you a bird!"

"I picked it up, I won't give it to him! He will hit me, I will hit you back!"

The eldest brother sneered and said, "Okay, you have backbone! Come with me to the woodshed."

Luo Feng was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. There was nothing in the world that he was afraid of. He followed his elder brother and went outside the woodshed door.

The eldest brother stood in front of the woodshed door and said to the two shopkeepers next to him: "This guy is not indifferent to his elder brother and beats him. If he is not punished heavily, his family will be in peace in the future! You tie him up and push him into the woodshed, and I will teach him a lesson!"

The two shopkeepers dared not disobey, so they stepped forward and held Luo Feng, tied them up with ropes, and pushed them into the woodshed.

He knocked Luo Feng to the ground, the eldest brother took a whip and asked with a cold face: "I'll ask you again, do you know if you know your mistake?"

Luo Feng said proudly: "You brothers, let's join forces to bully me! This is not my fault, but I scared me with a whip!"

The eldest brother asked the shopkeeper to go out and sneered: "Scar you? I am in charge of the housekeeping business. How many things are there? How can I care about you little beasts! You entered my house, ate my house, and used my house. Maybe twenty years later, we will have to share our brother's family business! We have taken many advantages and have troubles every day! If I don't beat you to death today, I'm just mercy!"

After saying that, he shook his wrist and whipped Luo Feng with a whip.

He entered the Luo family, although he had a quarrel every day, he had never been beaten like this. Especially this elder brother, who had a cold face all day long, and although his attitude was not good, he never really turned against him. Unexpectedly, he was cruel and beat him to death as soon as he started to fight.

Seeing Luo Feng gritting his teeth and holding on, the eldest brother became even more angry. He swung the whip in his hand and kept hitting Luo Feng. While beating, he cursed: "Little beast, you are not from my family. If you enter my family, if you are honest, you can tolerate you. If you are so lazy, you will definitely not be a good person in the future. Why don't you beat him to death today so as not to share our property in the future!"

Luo Feng is still young and never thinks about his family property. Unexpectedly, his elder brother always regards this as a big deal. Today, the absent from the official position, and suddenly starts to appear. It looks really scary. He has a tough temper. The more he beats, the more he grits his teeth and refuses to beg for mercy.

The original Qi family was also a well-off family. Luo Feng was studying and literate since he was a child. He originally planned to study well in the future and wanted to take the Jinshi exam. However, his family was in decline, and his biological father died within a few years. With his mother remarried to the Luo family. Luo Feng lived a carefree life since he was a child. After he arrived at the Luo family, he was suddenly bullied by his brother and was angry. When he was beaten today, he realized that in the eyes of his two brothers, he was still the enemy who took their property.

Seeing Luo Feng's eyes blasting fire, he looked scary, but he refused to beg for mercy. The eldest brother's heart became even more angry. The whip in his hand fell like raindrops and hit Luo Feng with shamelessness. He shouted: "I beat you to death today. I dug a hole in the wild and buried it all!"

After half an hour of beating, the elder brother finally woke up after seeing Luo Feng gritting his teeth and having less breath and more breathing. Although he hated the younger brother whom he picked up, he did not dare to beat him to death, so as not to sue him.

He threw the whip in his hand aside, sat and took a breath, and said, "Let's spare you today! From now on, you will work like a patron. If you don't live well, you will have no food to eat! If you dare to make trouble again, I will smash you with a whip!"

After saying that, he opened the door and asked the shopkeeper to come in and carried Luo Feng back to his residence.

The two shopkeepers carried Luo Feng, arrived at his room, threw it on the ground, and went back to report his life.

Luo Feng lay on the ground, with no good skin on his body, which was heartbreaking. He didn't feel this pain when he was beaten just now. Now all the injuries are on the ground, like many ants lying on his body, all of which are itchy and painless.

After a long time, my mother got the news and touched Luo Feng's residence. Seeing her son lying on the ground, she couldn't help but feel sad, hugged his body, and started crying.

Luo Feng opened his eyes and said to his mother: "Dad is not here, my mother is the one who decides this family! Those two little beasts bully me like this may be beaten to death one day. Do you have to vent your anger for me? Otherwise, how can I stay in this family?"

My mother whispered: "My son, you are under the eaves, how can you not bow your head? We are now at other people's houses, so you had to put away your temper before and live with you carefully. I am an outsider, so why can't you care about them? When the official comes back in two days, I will tell him that you will find something outside to do without seeing it. You should live carefully, and you will have a share here in the future."

Luo Feng didn't expect that his mother would think so, and said loudly: "I am a seven-foot man, why do you need others to give charity to your family business? If my mother can't make the decision, I will leave this family tomorrow. I have hands and feet, can I starve to death!"
