Chapter 162: Spare Me, Hero
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As Qiao Yang breathed in the downright stinky pig shit, he almost burst into tears!
If he had known that Madam Su was going to ask him to come here to shovel pig shit, he would not have followed her no matter what she said.
Of course, the few beautiful young men who were raised as male prostitutes were not much better. Not only did they have to scoop out pig manure, but they also had to sweep chicken droppings and cut ragweed to feed the pigs!
“Make sure the place is clean. Uncle Hea said that they can only grow strong and healthy in a comfortable environment.”
Previously, Su Ying had felt that her household lacked the manpower to do this. Bai Shuang and the others were already very busy preparing meals for so many people every day. Recently, they had been sewing winter clothes, so it would be too tiring to do these things as well. When she saw these young men, she immediately thought of this task and exploited the young men’s full potential.
“Clean it well and get some water to flush it clean. Otherwise, there won’t be any food to eat tonight,” Su Ying said before heading to the kitchen.
Uncle Hea and Uncle Murong were busy in the kitchen cooking up a storm. It could be said that this small kitchen had become their world.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they busied themselves. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
“It smells so good. Uncle Hea, what are you guys cooking?”
Hea Shouyi raised his head and said, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to eat fish, Mistress? Today, Brother Murong and I went to the fish pond and caught some fish. We made a total of eight dishes. Mistress, you must try them later.” Eight dishes!
Su Ying couldn’t wait any longer and lurked outside the kitchen in anticipation.
When Uncle Hea shouted that it was time to eat, she went forward to help bring out the dishes eagerly.
The eight dishes were neatly arranged on the table. Other than a dish of cold wild vegetable salad and an egg custard for the children, the rest were all fish.
Not only did the fish dishes smell good, but they were also very pleasing to the eye.
Everyone smelled the fragrance and could not wait to sit down at the table.
Su Ying pointed at a dish on the table that looked a little black but was hard and covered in a layer of paste and asked, “What is this?”
Uncle Murong smiled. “This is fried fish skin. It’s the most fragrant when it’s just out of the pot. Mistress, please try it.”
Su Ying picked up a piece and put it into her mouth. It was crunchy, and when she chewed until the middle, there was still a little bit of the toughness unique to fish skin.
“Delicious!”
Uncle Murong smiled when he saw that Su Ying liked it. “It’s good that you like it.” As a chef, the greatest joy was to receive nods of approval from the customers for the dishes he cooked.
“Why is this fish raw?” Su Ying pointed at the sashimi in the middle of the table, which took up the biggest space on the table.
“I don’t know if Mistress will get used to this. This is very popular in the coastal area of our Nan State. It’s raw fish with dipping sauce.” As Uncle Murong spoke, he picked up some side dishes and put them in a bowl. Then, he poured some sesame oil and soy sauce to mix the side dishes evenly. Following that, he picked up a piece of sashimi and ate it together with the mixed dishes.
Su Ying was instantly attracted by Uncle Murong’s expression of enjoyment. She followed his actions and picked up some vegetables and fish to eat in one bite.
The taste of the side dishes and sesame oil instantly spread throughout her mouth as she chewed. Most importantly, the fish did not have any fishy smell at all. It tasted very crunchy and was really delicious!
However, there were still a lot of parasites in this kind of freshwater fish. She planned to wait until she was full before getting some anthelmintics to put into the water for everyone to drink, just to be safe.
After Qiao Yang finally cleaned out the pigsty, he walked pitifully to the hall and wanted to go in for dinner. However, he was stopped when he tried to enter the hall.
Qiao Yang raised his head and saw Wang Su standing at the door. He frowned and tried to walk past him. To his surprise, when he stepped sideways, Wang Su moved in the same direction as well.
“What are you doing? Move aside. I want to go in and eat.”
Wang Su pointed to the courtyard. There was a small table in the middle of the courtyard. The beautiful young men were already sitting there. “Your food is over there.”
“I don’t want to eat with them.”
“If you don’t go over now, there won’t be any left.”
After sweeping out the pigsty, Qiao Yang was already starving. He slapped his thigh and rushed over, gritting his teeth. “Leave some for me, you guys!”
The late autumn night was exceptionally quiet. Even the chirping of insects and birds was subdued.
Xiao Jin glanced at the sleeping Su Ying and silently got up and left the room.
Wang Su, who was on night duty, was a little surprised to see Xiao Jin walk out. He was about to speak when he saw Xiao Jin make a hush gesture.
After a while, the courtyard returned to its usual calm after a slight disturbance.
Compared to the tranquility of the Tiger Base, the South District was much livelier.
Almost no one came out during the day, but at night, it was like a big market, bustling with activity.
Long Ba was sitting in a luxurious room with a few beauties either lying or standing beside him. They were either feeding him wine or massaging his feet.
Today, he had settled the deal with Su Ying, and she didn’t look like she was going to swallow up the South District. The pressure in his heart was instantly lifted, so he was exceptionally happy today.
“Go, sing a song for me.”
The beauty stood up with a coy smile. “What do you wish to listen to, Master Long Ba?”
“Anything is fine. Anyway, I am in a good mood today. I’ll reward you for anything you sing.”
The beauty batted her eyelids like fluttering silk. After clearing her throat, she began to sing a touching tune.
Just when Long Ba was enjoying himself listening to the song, the door of his room was suddenly burst open with a bang by a huge force. A figure came flying in from outside, crashing down right in front of Long Ba.
Long Ba got a big shock. His double chin trembled and he jumped up from his chair.
“Who… who is it?”
A towering and slender figure slowly walked in from outside the door. A pair of pitch-black eyes flickered under the candlelight, just like candlelight swaying in a bizarre wind.
Long Ba tried his best to open his beady eyes and glare at him. “Who are you? How dare you barge into the South District? How dare you!”
“Are these your men?” The man pointed at the people on the floor.
Long Ba lowered his head to take a look. Weren’t these the male prostitutes he had given to Su Ying?
“So what if they are?”
The person’s eyes darkened and he said icily, “So it’s you.”
“Who exactly are you… Argh!” Before Long Ba could finish his sentence, a punch landed on his face which made him scream in pain.
The henchmen all rushed in, but they were all thrown out one after another.
Only Long Ba’s hoarse screams were left in the room.
“Spare me, spare me, Hero! Spare me! Tell me what I did wrong. Tell me and I’ll definitely change.” Long Ba’s face became even more swollen, and he could barely open his bean-sized eyes.
“If you dare to send men to Su Ying again, I’ll make you disappear from the Tiger Base forever.”
“I won’t dare, I won’t dare, I won’t dare… Please let me off!”
Long Ba struggled to move his body and kowtowed. After an unknown period of time, even when the voice disappeared from the window, he still did not come back to his senses.
“Area Chief, Area Chief, are you alright?”
“Please spare my life, Hero…”
“Area Chief, he’s gone. He’s already gone.”
Long Ba came back to his senses and looked around. After confirming that the figure was not around, he collapsed to the ground on his butt in relief.
“Where… where did this evil demon come from!”
