Chapter 158 Let him die

Tao Yinzhen was unconscious, and Ren Shuixing was sober for three minutes.

If a person is killed by himself, who will help him farm the land to earn money to buy wine.

He hurried to the kitchen, took a basin of cold water, and poured it all over Tao Yinzhen's bruised and swollen face.

"Ahem~" Tao Yinzhen woke up.

When he opened his eyes, his left eye was blood red from the beating, which was horrifyingly terrifying.

Seeing that she had come back to life, Ren Shuixing breathed a sigh of relief, and said in disgust: "Pretend to be dead, get up quickly, and take some guys to pick mulberry fruits for copper coins."

When Tao Yinzhen started talking to the kitten, Ren Shuixing overheard him quietly.

The wild fruits everywhere can be exchanged for so much money, Ren Shuixing has already imagined the scene where the whole mountain turns into gold.

The kitten shrank its neck and said cautiously: "Father, it's getting dark."

He didn't want to pick fruit at all, and all the copper coins that Ren Shuixing got would definitely be used for drinking.

What's more, it's getting dark today, Mrs. Bai and the others must have rested, and Mrs. Bai will not accept stale fruits.

Ren Shuixing only pretended that he didn't want to go, and said viciously: "If you don't go, I will beat you to death right now!"

The kitten hurriedly said: "Mrs. Bai only collects good fruits. She won't accept stale or rotten ones. They can't be exchanged for copper coins."

Ren Shuixing complained: "There are so many fucking things!"

The kitten thought that there was no need to go today, but Ren Shuixing laughed, "Then get out and pick mulberry fruits for me! There are so many mulberry fruits to pick, and there will always be good ones. When I pick them up, I will pick them at home. At dawn, I will pick mulberry fruits in person. Send it over!"

In the middle of the night, snakes, rats, ants, and barbs are everywhere. The kitten doesn't even have a pair of shoes. How can it pick the mulberries? If it can't finish picking, it will be beaten again.

The kitten clenched its fists, tearfully looked at the speechless Tao Yinzhen, and could only obey Ren Shuixing's commands.

He can still get a beating, but his mother can't now.

He couldn't get a penny for the copper plate he picked from the mulberry fruit. He couldn't buy clothes or shoes, and it was impossible for him to be liked by the fairy Mrs. Bai.

The kitten burst into tears, feeling so sad, so sad.

Tao Yinzhen regained some strength, looked at the kitten's bare feet, held back tears, went to the bedroom and took a piece of thick old clothes, split it in two, and tied the kitten's feet with hemp rope.

They took the big panniers and went out of the room under the urging of Ren Shuixing cursing.

As soon as I went out, I saw many villagers in Lintian Village, all holding various things quietly, walking towards the back mountain.

Going to Mrs. Bai's house to sell mulberry fruit, more than one kitten earned copper coins. The other children went back to show off that they had earned copper coins, and they earned so many copper coins in one day, which surprised all the adults.

Like Ren Shuixing, I feel that what is hanging all over the mountains and plains is not wild fruits, but money.

If their hands and feet were more nimble and they picked more, wouldn't they be able to earn at least a few hundred cash a day?

Farming and earning money is not so easy. Every year, if you can save a penny, you will burn the incense.

Everyone was afraid that others would pick all the wild fruits, so they went into the mountain overnight with baskets and bamboo baskets on their backs. As for the child's warning that the fruits must be fresh and intact, everyone didn't take them to heart.

The quality of the fruit is not good, at worst, discuss it with Bai Wutong, and exchange a few copper coins.

As long as Bai Wutong is willing to accept the wild fruits picked, there will be no difference between the money picked for nothing.

Seeing so many shadows in the darkness, Ren Shuixing also became anxious. He didn't want to do it himself, so he ran home quickly, carrying a basket on his back, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, don't let others get ahead of you!"

If he earns a lot, he can gamble a few times, and money makes money, and he can bid farewell to this kind of beggar life.

In Lintian Village, many households are brother-in-law. They make money by themselves, and they must not forget their mother's family. You pass it on to me, and I pass it on to you. At night, the whole Lintian Village suddenly boiled.

In some families, there is even a special person responsible for holding the torch, and the whole family goes out to pick the fruit.

The moment Ren Shuixing learned that wild fruits could be exchanged for money, he regarded these fruits as his own.

Seeing so many people come to share a piece of the pie, I felt resentful, but there was nothing I could do to stop others.

However, he remembered a forest where there were several thick mulberry trees. He often slept on the trees when he was a child. Even though Ren Shuixing was now drunk and his head was dizzy, he could still find his way.

Tao Yinzhen and the kitten walked too slowly, he kept urging.

Walking in the dark, there are thorns and bushes everywhere, no matter how much he urges to curse, punch and kick, the speed of the two of them is still as slow as a tortoise.

When it was finally time to arrive, Ren Shuixing ran forward excitedly, with an "ah", and disappeared in the faint sight of Tao Yinzhen and his wife in a blink of an eye.

With a trembling voice, the kitten said fearfully, "Father is gone."

Tao Yinzhen heard the movement just now, and guessed that Ren Shuixing must have fallen down the hillside, and originally wanted to call for help, but seeing the kitten's thin face with only eyeballs left, thinking of Ren Shuixing's atrocities against their mother and child in the past, she clenched her hands tightly. Grinding his teeth, he pulled him to walk in another direction, "Let's go ahead and look for it." But he prayed in his heart that Ren Shuixing could fall to his death quickly.

But he didn't see it, the kitten looked back at the place where Ren Shuixing had disappeared just now, and smiled excitedly.

Tao Yinzhen walked with the kitten for a while, and then met a fellow villager who came to pick fruit with a torch.

When they saw Tao Yinzhen and Xiaomao, relying on their numbers, they said arrogantly: "We discovered these mulberry trees first, and we want to pick them aside."

It was impossible for Tao Yinzhen to let Ren Shuixing disappear like this, otherwise she would be suspected. She begged them: "My man is missing, please, can you help us find it?"

Her face was freshly wounded, and under the jumping firelight, she looked like a corpse that had just crawled up from the ground, which shocked everyone.

Everyone cursed bad luck secretly, and no one wanted to talk to her.

Everyone is busy picking fruits to make money, so they don't have the time to find that drunk Ren Shuixing.

Even if it is found, there is no benefit to be gained.

It was Uncle Huang who saw that they were pitiful, so he pointed to the forest ahead and said, "The village chief is right in front, you can go to the village chief and see if he can find someone for you."

He sighed again and said, "Ren Shuixing might be drunk and died somewhere to sleep, maybe you can find someone when you bring the baby home."

Tao Yinzhen lowered her eyes and said eagerly: "He came out with us and said he wanted to pick mulberries. It is impossible to leave us mother and son and run back."

Uncle Huang said disdainfully: "He can't do anything, go to the village chief." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and looked like he didn't want to delay their money-making.

Tao Yinzhen nodded, and could only call Ren Shuixing's name while taking the kitten to find the village chief Lin Chenghai.

Uncle Huang looked at the backs of the two of them and sighed, "What a crime."

Uncle Huang's wife also sighed, "Beating the two of you like that, what else do you want, it's better to let the drunk die."
