Chapter 439 Norio (32)
It seemed like his toes were gone. Zhang Xiucai started screaming as soon as his toes touched the ground, and he had been screaming for a while.
The speed was too fast; the screams carried far.
Fahe chased after him, his intuition and reality telling him that Xiong Bufan was abusing ordinary mortals, even torturing and killing them.
After running for an unknown amount of time, the screams finally stopped, replaced by whimpers.
Fahe can only try harder to catch up; is this the speed of a god?
Xiong Bufan found Zhang Xiucai's shouts unpleasant and grating, so he directly gagged him, and Zhang Xiucai could no longer shout.
After running through several cities and countless mountains, Xiong Bufan finally stopped with Zhang Xiucai.
If the original owner were here, she would definitely recognize this as the place where she was pawned a second time by Zhang Xiucai.
Xiong Bufan threw Zhang Xiucai to the ground and slapped him back to his senses, which was about to be scared out of his wits.
This place was a poor and remote area, and it didn't feel as prosperous as the place where he had been working. Xiong Bufan had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept this unprofitable deal.
It took Zhang Xiucai a while to realize his current situation; he had been led to a completely unfamiliar place by the woman in front of him.
Three months later, Lin Qiuyu had gained a lot of weight and her skin had become dark. She looked nothing like the tofu beauty she once was, and instead resembled a dark-skinned, ugly, and obese woman.
Xiong Bufan's skin is dark because he spends too much time in the sun.
Xiong Bufan was also sizing up Zhang Xiucai. This man had delicate features, but compared to before, he had become somewhat effeminate, looking exactly like a palace eunuch.
Zhang Xiucai: "Lin Qiuyu, what are you doing carrying me here?"
"I already said, I want to pawn my husband."
Before Zhang Xiucai could say anything more, Xiong Bufan slapped him across the face, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and prepared to run away.
Fahe finally caught up, panting, and said, "Xiong Bufan, stop!"
Xiong Bufan didn't expect Fahe to run so fast, but business was coming his way.
Xiong Bufan tossed Zhang Xiucai to him, saying, "Ten taels of silver, and he's yours."
Fahe found Xiong Bufan utterly unreasonable. Pawning and trafficking innocent people were both illegal. "Xiong Bufan, put this scholar down and come back with me."
Zhang Xiucai has stopped screaming and said to Fahe, "Sir, save me! This shrew is going to sell me."
Xiong Bufan stomped Zhang Xiucai under his foot and said in a serious tone, "Give me the money first."
This couldn't go on. Fahe searched his own body and finally managed to find ten taels of silver. "Now can you let him go?"
Xiong Bufan snatched the silver, then continued to hold Zhang Xiucai in his hand, unusually showing kindness as he advised, "Fahe, don't get involved in other people's karma."
This is the cause and effect between Lin Qiuyu, Zhang Xiucai, and Laozi.
Who is Lin Qiuyu?
"none of your business."
If it weren't for Fahe's generous offer of money, Xiong Bufan wouldn't have brought this up. She should have tied the two of them together and made Zhang Xiucai fulfill his duty as a wife-selling official.
Upon hearing what Xiong Bufan said, Fahe did not interfere further, but seeing that Xiong Bufan had picked up Zhang Xiucai again, he quickly followed after him.
He's going to join the fun now and see what's going on between them.
Perhaps he will find out why Xiong Bufan came to the mortal world; it may all have started because of that scholar.
Following his own ideas, Xiong Bufan visited one wealthy family after another.
She would pawn her husband here, collect money, and then move on to the next one.
It can only be said that Scholar Zhang was too valuable, because every family he went to was bankrupt, and naturally, no family would let Scholar Zhang go.
The beating made Zhang Xiucai miss the carefree days when he was preparing for the imperial examinations. He wished that Lin Qiuyu would not be allowed to return to the capital, otherwise he would never let her go.
Fahe watched Xiong Bufan torment Zhang Xiucai, and his initial indifference turned into sympathy.
It would be better to just kill him than to humiliate a scholar like this; that way, there would be no more sorrow.
Zhang Xiucai was tied to the bed again, next to the male head of the household. Inside the room was a concubine hanging from the rafters, constantly cursing. Running around inside and outside the room was Xiong Bufan, who was focused on finding money.
Fahe walked in from outside, looked at Zhang Xiucai whose eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and said, "How about I kill you?"
By sharing your karma, I can lessen your suffering.
The once chaotic room quieted down, and no one knew what was wrong with the man with the shaved head.
Zhang Xiucai opened his eyes wide, looked at the familiar shaved head in front of him, and begged for mercy: "Don't kill me, please."
Fahe: "Living is suffering too, you might as well die."
"I don't want to die, you despicable shaved head, get out of here!"
Fa He didn't understand, but still respected everyone's ideas. He regretfully walked out, only to be kicked out halfway. "You unlucky thing, don't even think about tempting my money tree."
Both the law and this fool have never learned that 'life is worthy of respect'.
So he deserved to be beaten.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Fahe slunk away to watch the show.
He had done everything in his power to save this scholar, but the scholar was ungrateful.
After looting the place, Xiong Bufan carried Zhang Xiucai to another location.
The last stop was Mr. Qian's house. This time, Xiong Bufan didn't do any of those unethical things.
They simply tied Master Qian, Madam Qian, and Scholar Zhang to the same bed, with Madam Zhang behind Master Qian and Scholar Zhang in front of Scholar Qian.
Fahe followed Xiong Bufan, covering his eyes while denouncing their immoral behavior.
Xiong Bufan ignored the warnings and quietly continued with his great undertaking.
The Qian family was poorer than the richer families in the village, so Xiong Bufan couldn't just rob them directly, since he had to consider Zhang Xiucai's future.
Xiong Bufan felt he couldn't find a bear more kind-hearted than himself, so he killed the Qian family's only cow, but didn't search for the other valuables too much.
Old Master Qian stared intently at Xiong Bufan, then wriggled his body and crawled up to Xiong Bufan. "I have no grudge against you, why are you treating me like this?"
"I'll be your servant, this is my reward."
Mr. Qian's eyes were fixed on his oxen. "I don't admit it. This is robbery. I'm going to report you to the authorities."
Xiong Bufan: "Do you even know who I am?!"
"have no idea,"
Xiong Bufan flipped the roast beef in his hand over and mocked mercilessly, "Then why did you report it to the authorities? What a waste of your time."
"You've gone too far."
"Oh"
Xiong Bufan hung the three of them from the roof beam, letting them sway back and forth, smelling the aroma of roasted meat, but he didn't give them any to eat.
