The fate of writers

Chapter 61 The struggle between the Du family and Lamb
As long as you praise Youlin's novels, then you are a gentleman with good taste. Zhou Zhou looked at Lance with a much gentler gaze, and his words were more gentle and sincere.

Just when Zhou Zhou was about to continue praising Youlin and her novel, a brother and sister ran in.

The elder brother's head was bleeding all the time. He tried to cover it with one hand, but he still couldn't stop it. The other hand was supporting his younger sister.

The younger sister was even worse. She was almost half leaning on her brother. When she looked closely, it turned out that one of her legs was broken, and the oozing blood soaked the sackcloth and dripped on the ground, leaving a long bloodstain.

Jiang Ling hurried forward and together with nun Mary helped his sister to rest on a chair.But Zhou Zhou wanted to help his brother but was rejected.The older brother limped along with the younger sister.

"What's the matter? What trouble did you encounter?" Jiang Ling took the towel handed over by nun Mary and began to wipe it. She didn't want to poke someone's sore spot if she could, but if she guessed right, the brother and sister escaped temporarily. Trouble, and trouble has long legs and will chase after them. They came here to ask for help, so she had to use this time to understand the cause and effect of the matter, so that she could help them better.

My sister was sweating from the pain, and big beads of sweat slipped down and dripped onto her neck, where the sweat melted together.Fortunately, her consciousness is still clear.

"We escaped from the Du family. The Du family cheated my land away. My parents were furious. Du Changping's youngest son took a fancy to me and turned him into a slave. I escaped with the help of my family. Of course, there was also an element of luck. I found an opportunity to give the little beast a knife. The Du family’s masters and wives were surrounding the little beast in a hurry. This is what the Du family owes me.” The younger sister said in a few words. Explained the cause and effect.

The younger sister said it easily, but Jiang Ling felt many scars when wiping, each of which was the suffering of the younger sister.

"It's a pity I didn't kill that little bastard." My brother's eyes were full of regret.

Sister Mary was bandaging her brother's wound. She couldn't understand what he said with a strong local accent, but she took a step back in shock from his eyes.

"It seems that we are not helping lambs to be slaughtered." Lance said.

"No, lambs will cry and struggle before they die. They are just lambs that struggle harder." Jiang Ling retorted.Now the two brothers and sisters who took the initiative to seek their help were the lucky lambs. Even the lucky lambs were covered in bruises when they came in front of them.

The Du family came very quickly, and Jiang Ling and the others only completed the simple bandaging of the siblings.Sister Mary took her brother and sister into the inner hall for temporary shelter.

The missionary Hewitt stayed behind and asked about the origin of the other party in his poor Yan Guo dialect.

The Du family is always arrogant to the locals of Yin County, so it will not give Hewitt a good look.

"Where did the foreigners come from, and they are still in charge of our Du family? Get out of the way, the Du family is catching escaped slaves, good dogs don't block the way."

Hewitt's energy-raising skills were not very good, and his face turned dark all of a sudden.

"This is the teaching... hospital, Master Zeng specially approved us to practice medicine here. No matter who you are, you can't take away the people from the teaching... hospital." Hewitt felt extremely aggrieved, but fortunately he still remembered that he was In another country, he suppressed his anger and said.

This time, people from the Du family didn't even reply to Hewitt's words, but started searching around.

When Lance came out, he saw the arrogant and rude appearance of the Du family.He murmured in French: "Oh, these Orientals are really arrogant and rude."

Naturally, Lance was not unprepared for his business trip to the far east. The people under his command formed a confrontation with the people of the Du family.

"Hello, I think there may be a misunderstanding between us. Maybe we can go to the teahouse to have a cup of tea and talk slowly." This is not the first time Lance has come to the country of Yan, and he has a certain understanding of the culture of the country of Yan.Such as drinking tea/drinking and talking about things.He is not good at drinking, he thinks the wine here, even the lowest alcohol, is too strong for him, after drinking, dizziness makes him unable to concentrate, so he chooses tea.

"Mr. Lance, a female slave scratched my young master and then ran away. It is completely legal for us to recover our escaped slave and give him due punishment. If your slave escaped and injured you, what would you do? ?" The people of the Du family are still relatively polite to Lance, mainly because Lance still has a business with them.

"Oh..." Lance thought, if a fugitive slave dared to hurt him, he would execute him with a single shot and display his body in public. "I don't think I have any right to stop you."

Lance's main reason for standing out at that time was to lose face. If someone came to him and remained silent, he would be regarded as cowardly.Now the people of the Du family gave him face, although not much, but he didn't really want to stop the Du family from catching the escaped slaves.

After all, in Lance's opinion, the master has absolute right to dispose of the slave.Slaves are the personal belongings of their masters.Private property is sacrosanct, not even by kings.

The sister in the inner hall tried to go out several times but was suppressed by Jiang Ling. The elder brother also took a candlestick and held it in his hand, looking like he was ready to fight the Du family.

Without Lance's obstruction, the Du family felt as if they were in an uninhabited land, and soon found the two brothers and sisters.

"It's pretty good at hiding. Let's go. Even the gods in our country can't save you, and even the gods in foreign countries can't save you." Of course the Du family saw Jiang Ling and Zhou Zhou, but being defiant is an equal skill.Unexpectedly, they did not dare to go against the Du family.

What?What if they don't know the Du family?If you don’t know the Du family in Yin County, wouldn’t their Du family have developed for so many years in vain?
"I'm very sorry, I may not let you take her away." Jiang Ling stood in front of his sister.

My sister's eyes widened. It was the first time she had received such kindness from a stranger she had only met once. Judging from her dress, words and deeds, she was still a well-educated young lady.

She put one hand on Jiang Ling's shoulder, trying to use her strength to stand up, she couldn't hurt this kind lady.In Yin County, offending the Du family is equivalent to offending half the sky.

The Du's family was in business, and his family's products covered almost every aspect of Yin County. The rice noodles they ate, the clothes they wore, the courtyard they lived in, and the rented carriages that left Yin County were all inseparable from Du's family.

Jiang Ling held his sister with his backhand and wanted to comfort her: "Only the government can take away a good citizen of Yin County in front of me. I don't recognize any of the Du family or the Wang family."

The steward of the Du family narrowed his eyes and recognized Jiang Ling. He heard that he was a scholar. Some scholars were like stones in a latrine, smelly and hard.

The steward of the Du family threatened: "Ms. Youlin, I hope you can understand that the person you are protecting is not a good citizen, but a fugitive slave of my Du family. You have read a lot of poetry and books, and you should have read the Law of the Great Yan. What is the crime of running away as a slave, you know better than me, you don't want to go to the Yamen again, do you?"
