My humble days in ancient times

Chapter 34: Crazy about Money

Wang Erdan never stops until he says something shocking!

Upon hearing this, Li was furious and jumped up. "Wang Erdan, do you still have any shame? You passed by here in the middle of the night and entered someone else's yard without the owner's consent. This behavior is clearly that of a thief. You failed to steal and got injured, but you still want the owner to compensate you. How dare you? Why don't you go to heaven?"

Wang Erdan acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water: "I don't care, I was injured here, and I want compensation from the host."

Xu Qinghe smiled and imitated his rogue behavior: "This house is our temporary residence. Why don't you go find the original owner?"

Wang Erdan shouted, "Now that you live here, I'm looking for you."

Xu Qinghe smiled and said, "Then you should find the owner of the trap. We didn't set the trap. Think about it, why would we buy a trap for no reason? We don't hunt."

Li also said: "That's right, it was the clamp that pinched you, you should ask the person who put the clamp to compensate you."

Wang Erdan was stunned, but quickly reacted and said, "Who would put a trap in your yard for no reason? It was obviously you who put it there. Now that you've hurt me, you should compensate me!"

Xu Qinghe laughed: "What did you say? Who's okay? Aren't you the only one who's okay? You came to my house in the middle of the night to drink water, maybe you can come to my house to set traps for no reason."

Li smiled. This grandson was really smart. Li suppressed her laughter and said, "You are crying thief, what are you thinking about? Are you so desperate for money that you can't sleep in the middle of the night? Are you deliberately using a torture trick to clamp yourself with the clamp? Then you can't blame others. You deserve it."

Wang Erdan was furious: "My leg is almost broken. Is it worth only thirty taels? I'm not mentally ill."

Xu Qinghe smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with the brain, but water has gotten into it. Water gets into the brain, and when the brain gets damaged, the heart gets damaged too."

Wang Erdan's face turned red and white, but it was too dark for them to see. Unable to bear the pain, Wang Erdan said, "I don't care. You just want compensation. My leg is injured. If it becomes useless in the future, you still have to compensate me. Yes, thirty taels is too little. It should be one hundred taels. Yes, I want one hundred taels now."

Wang Erdan was talking excitedly when Xu Ruyi suddenly went crazy.

Xu Ruyi first covered her head, then muttered to herself: "There's a ghost, there's a ghost, did you see it? Hahahaha..."

Everyone present was terrified, and Xu Qinghe was also scared to death: "What happened to Ruyi? Don't scare me."

Xu Qinghe went over, put his hands on her shoulders, and said, "Ruyi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

Xu Ruyi continued to act crazy, laughing non-stop. Then she tapped Xu Qinghe three times with her hand, and Xu Qinghe immediately understood. In the past, Xu Ruyi would gently pat his shoulder and tell him not to worry.

Mrs. Li also came to see Xu Ruyi. She was extremely anxious and shouted at Wang Erdan, "Wang Erdan, if anything happens to my granddaughter, I want you to pay me one thousand taels, no, ten thousand taels."

Wang Erdan felt very aggrieved. "Why? She was fine just now. She was arguing with me just now. What does her current behavior have to do with me? Everyone saw it. Even if she went crazy, she just went crazy suddenly. That means there really is a ghost that made her crazy. If you want compensation, go find the ghost!"

Xu Dachuan was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but was stopped by the villagers around him.

Xu Ruyi suddenly rushed over and grabbed Wang Erdan's neck like crazy, which frightened Wang Erdan. Xu Ruyi muttered: "You are a ghost. You did a lot of evil in your previous life. Return my life."

Xu Ruyi's ferocious, sinister expression frightened Wang Erdan, and the surrounding villagers were also frightened half to death. After all, Xu Ruyi was only ten years old. Who would suspect such a young child was faking? Goose bumps spread across their skin, as if there were indeed a ghost in the darkness. Some of the more timid ones trembled violently, their hearts pounding.

The villagers of this era were still very superstitious, believing in mountain gods and ghosts. So some went to the mountains to worship, and some went to the temples to burn incense. They had a natural fear of ghosts and gods.

Wang Erdan's eyes widened in horror, as Xu Ruyi was gripping his neck tightly. He frantically grabbed Xu Ruyi's wrist and tried his best to pry it free, but he found he couldn't break free.

As time slowly slipped by, Wang Erdan began to struggle to breathe, as if a huge rock were pressing down on his chest, making it extremely difficult for him to even catch his breath. His face flushed crimson, veins bulged, and a gurgling sound emanated from his throat, as if he were about to suffocate. He thought to himself, "This woman is crazy! If she keeps this up, she'll strangle me to death. Am I really going to die here today?"

Seeing this, Xu Dachuan quickly went up and grabbed Wang Erdan's hand. Li was so angry that she slapped Wang Erdan several times, and Wang Erdan was stunned.

At this time, the village head said: "Pull them apart."

The surrounding villagers pulled them apart and Xu Ruyi was taken aside.

At this time, Wang Erdan's wife came over pulling a cart with Doctor Qian.

Doctor Qian stepped forward and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wang Erdan's legs and feet. He asked two villagers nearby to help him, asking them to work together to open the clamps and then pull out the iron spikes from his feet. Wang Erdan was in excruciating pain, howling like a ghost. This sound made others tremble with fear. Wang Erdan's wife turned her head away, not daring to look at his legs and feet, thinking that they must be a bloody mess, a horrible sight.

Doctor Qian applied the medicine, wrapped it with gauze, and then helped the patient sit on the cart. Doctor Qian instructed, "You need to take good care of your leg. Remember to change the dressing every few days. Stay in bed for the next three to five months."

Li said, "You heard it, it will be fine in a year or two. Don't try to extort money from me."

Wang Erdan said, "You have to compensate me for the medicine."

Li ignored him and said to Doctor Qian, "Doctor Qian, please help take a look at Ruyuan."

Doctor Qian looked up and saw Xu Ruyi not far away with disheveled hair, as if blown by a strong wind.

Doctor Qian walked over, extended three fingers, and gently placed them on Xu Ruyi's pulse. After a moment, Doctor Qian said, "Judging from the pulse, there's nothing serious. It's just that you may have been feeling restless recently, which has caused some poor blood circulation. I'll prescribe some tranquilizing medicine, which you can take regularly. You should also make sure to rest regularly and avoid overexerting yourself or worrying too much."

Only then did Li feel relieved.

Wang Erdan was unwilling to give up and said, "Village head, you have to help me get justice. My leg injury is serious, you have to compensate me with some money."

The village head already knew about Xu Ruyi and his sister's egg pancake business and that they now had a donkey. Seeing Wang Erdan appear at Xu Ruyi's house made people think a lot.

The village head coughed heavily and said, "Wang Erdan, what about the compensation for Xu Ruyi's medicine? You want one hundred taels, and the others want one thousand taels. How about you give them another nine hundred taels?"

Wang Erdan opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen a ghost, and could hardly believe that these words came from the mouth of the village head.

Xu Qinghe came over and stopped Wang Erdan, saying, "You can't leave today. If my sister becomes mentally disturbed, you'll have to work like a slave for her for the rest of your life."

Now it was Wang Erdan's turn to be dumbfounded. Veins popped out of his chest as he said, "Why? It wasn't me who scared him."

Xu Qinghe explained, "It wasn't that you were playing tricks to scare him, but it was also because you showed up in my yard. If you hadn't come, my sister would still be sleeping in the house. How could she have ended up like this?"

Li also came over and said, "That's right, you have to pay some silver as compensation."

Wang Erdan was furious and simply lay on the cart and acted like a scoundrel: "I don't have any money, but I have my life."
