Chapter 102 Finding the evidence
After they left Zuixianju, Qianhua said to Master Cai with apologetic expression, "Brother Yunlong, I'm really sorry. I wanted to treat you to a nice meal, but because of me, you ended up fighting with a group of people. I'll treat you to another meal tomorrow."
Master Cai quickly said, "Qianhua, you don't have to treat me to a meal again. I had a very full and happy meal. Fighting is a common occurrence for me. This is not your fault, so you don't need to blame yourself."
"Yes. Brother Yunlong, I didn't expect your martial arts skills to be so powerful. Who did you learn this from?"
When Master Cai saw Qianhuan praising him with admiration, he was immediately overjoyed. "When I was a child, I accidentally saved a seriously injured martial arts hero. While I was recuperating at my home, the hero saw that I was in good shape to practice martial arts, so he asked me to become his disciple and taught me all his martial arts skills."
Qianhuan thought that the public security in this era was not as good as that in modern society. In modern society, it was basically safe to go out, but in ancient times, one could encounter various dangers at any time and anywhere. If one did not have some martial arts skills, one would feel very insecure.
So she continued to say to Master Cai: "Brother Yunlong, I always run into people with bad intentions when I go out recently. Can you teach me some martial arts? If I learn martial arts, I will be able to protect myself when I meet bad guys in the future."
"Qianhuan, learning martial arts is a very hard and tiring thing. Girls like you are delicate and fragile, so I'm afraid you can't bear this pain. And it takes more than three or five days to learn martial arts. My master only taught me for a few months, but I practiced those moves diligently afterwards, so I have reached the level I am today. Are you sure you can endure this pain, a weak girl like you?"
Qianhuan nodded, looked at Master Cai with a firm face and said, "Brother Yunlong, don't worry, I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue. Compared to being powerless to fight back when in danger and being slaughtered by others, I would rather suffer a little more now."
"Okay, since you are so determined, I promise to teach you martial arts. My master taught me a set of swordsmanship that is especially suitable for girls to practice. Once you learn that set of swordsmanship, you will be able to use a long sword to fight against the enemy at a long distance, or a short sword to defend yourself at close range. "
Qianhuan could dance with a sword in modern times, but the sword dancing she learned in modern times was purely a talent show and did not have any lethality. If she learned swordsmanship from Mr. Cai, then when she met bad guys in the future, she would not be helpless.
She immediately said happily: "Okay, I happen to like swordsmanship very much, Brother Yunlong, thank you for agreeing to teach me martial arts."
"You're welcome. But I'm in the county town every day. If you want to practice sword, I'm afraid you need to come to the county town to find me. You're a girl and you always go out alone. Will your parents not allow it?"
"Brother Yunlong, don't worry about this. I have already told my parents that I will find a private school teacher in the county to study and write with. After you finish the study, I will find you to practice swordplay."
Master Cai looked surprised. "You, a girl, want to go to a private school? I'm afraid there is no private school in the city that is willing to accept female students."
"I have thought about this problem a long time ago. I plan to disguise myself as a man and go to study under a teacher. However, I really don't know if there are any good private school teachers in this city. I wonder if Brother Yunlong has heard of any?"
"I really don't know what's good about the private school teachers, but I have a younger brother who has a son who is also studying. This younger brother said that there is a Mr. Fan next door. Mr. Fan usually paints and writes at home. One time, Mr. Fan heard his son writing an article at the gate of the courtyard. He couldn't help but give his son some random pointers. The next day, his son took the article to the private school to show it to the teacher. After reading it, the private school teacher praised it highly. I guess this Mr. Fan must be better than those teachers in the private school."
"I wonder where the home of the young man that Brother Yunlong mentioned is? Can you take me to visit Mr. Fan next door in a few days?"
"It's no problem to take you to visit him, but Mr. Fan is not a private school teacher and has never accepted any apprentices. My younger brother also wanted his son to be his disciple, but Mr. Fan refused to agree, so we had to give up in the end. I'm afraid you'll make a wasted trip."
"It doesn't matter. We have to try to know whether you agree or not. I'll come to the cabin to find you in a few days. Brother Yunlong just needs to lead the way."
Qianhuan thought about making some chestnut tofu when she went back in the next two days. When she went to the county town, she would bring some chestnut tofu for Mr. Chu to try, and then give some to Mr. Fan as well.
"Okay, let me take you home now."
"Brother Yunlong, I want to take a bullock cart back to the town of Yunfeng Village first. I plan to buy a cart in the town to take me home. Brother Yunlong, you are very strong and can help me push the cart home."
To make chestnut tofu at home, the bitter chestnuts need to be taken to the mill in town to be ground into pulp. It is inconvenient without a cart. Today, Brother Yunlong is here and can help her push the cart home.
"Okay, let's go."
The two of them found an ox cart and took it to the town. Qianhuan spent more than three taels of silver to buy a wooden cart in the store, and Mr. Cai helped push the cart.
When passing by a drugstore in the town, Qianhua suddenly saw Wu Qiang sneaking into the drugstore. Thinking about what she had told Wu Qiang to do before, she said to Cai Xiaoye, "Brother Yunlong, I saw the bastard who wanted to harm me last time. He just entered this drugstore. Let's wait at the entrance of this alley. When he comes out of the drugstore, help me catch him in the alley. I need to ask him how the task I asked him to do last time is going."
"Okay." Thinking of how that guy almost ruined Miss Qianhuan's innocence last time, Master Cai felt so angry that his teeth were itching. The beating he gave him last time was not enough. He would definitely give that bastard another good beating later.
When Wu Qiang came out of the drugstore with a thief's look on his face, Young Master Cai rushed over and caught him. He handcuffed Wu Qiang's hands behind his back with one hand, covered his mouth from behind his head with the other hand, and then dragged him into the alley.
Before Wu Qiang could see who had attacked him, he was thrown to the ground in the alley, and Young Master Cai started punching and kicking him.
Wu Qiang dodged by jumping up and down, but those fists still hit him accurately. He could only hold his head and cry for mercy: "Master, please spare my life. I really don't know how I have offended you. Please tell me clearly."
At this time, Qianhuan spoke up, "Wu Qiang, how are you doing with what I asked you to do last time?"
Wu Qiang dodged and shouted, "Oh, it's you, auntie. I've found evidence against Cuihua. I was going to find you today to report this to you. Please ask this old man to stop, oh..."
Wu Qiang felt miserable. It was all because of that bitch Cuihua that he had offended the young lady in front of him. Ever since he ate the March Heartbreak Grass and returned home last time, he had been in a panic. He couldn't eat or sleep well every day. He felt that his body seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. In fact, all this was just a psychological effect.
Wu Qiang wanted to get the antidote as soon as possible, so he had to run to Xiangyang Village every day to keep an eye on Cuihua's every move. Now the weather was very cold, and he often stood outside the Sun family's door with a blue nose and trembling legs. Today, he finally found out something wrong with Cuihua.
"Brother Yunlong, stop it first and let him speak."
Only after hearing this did Young Master Cai stop.
Wu Qiang immediately said, "Aunt, I've been following Cuihua recently and found that she always goes to the drugstore to buy medicine. I just asked the owner of the drugstore and found out that she buys contraceptive pills. Sun Wang is already old, and the Sun family has been hoping that Cuihua will give birth to a big fat boy soon. Who knew that Cuihua didn't want to give birth to a child for the Sun family at all, and she would come to the drugstore in town every time to buy contraceptive pills and boil them home to drink."
Qianhuan really didn't expect that Cuihua actually hated Sun Wang to such an extent that she would rather take contraceptive pills every day than give birth to a child for Sun Wang.
You have to know that medical conditions in ancient times were backward, and if a woman took too many contraceptive pills it would really harm her body. Her behavior was tantamount to cutting off Sun Wang's incense. As long as this news was revealed to the Sun family, the Sun family would definitely not forgive her easily.
