Chapter 22: The Frightened Bai Family Servant
It is said that happiness is like a fairy.
In people's traditional thinking, immortals are the happiest. Because you can live forever, you can ride the clouds and fog There are countless changes, and naturally there are endless riches.
Even if they become emperors, they all want to live forever and become immortals.
"Everyone in the world knows that immortals are good, but they can't forget their fame!
Where will the past and the present meet? A pile of grass is gone.
Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only gold and silver can't forget!"
After Master Bai had physical problems and couldn't get close to the girl anymore, he experienced the taste of wanting to die for the first time in more than ten years.
The comfort came so quickly that he didn't have time to ask Fluttershy how she was able to buy an emerald by chance entering an antique store. The taste of the best jade, ecstasy, more comfortable than his opium smoke three times a day, every day I just want to lie on it, feel cool and refreshing, all the pores have grown, lazily do not want to move.
This is really as happy as a fairy.
The servant returned to the kitchen with the plate, and when the cook saw that the food on the plate had not moved at all, she was shocked: "Why, the master still refuses to eat?" ”
The maid shook his head, and saw that the cook's face was full of panic, trembling like a dead leaf in the wind, so he comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, I see that the master is in a good mood, he hasn't beaten or scolded people and dropped things in the past few days, he always has his own reasons for not eating, and it has nothing to do with you, so don't be afraid." ”
The cook shook her head: "How can you not be afraid, our old man has a big temper and can burn this house on fire, you also saw a few years ago, the child who was sent out was not injured, and the second half of the night wrapped in a mat and secretly thrown out, thinking about it is oozing panic, he is in a bad mood after not eating, it will be counted on my head, then you must not kill me." ”
The servant thinks about it, this is indeed the truth, and now he is in a good mood when he looks at the master, what if he breaks out again one day and settles accounts after the autumn?
In the past few days, the Bai family's mansion has been much quieter, and the old man Bai lies on the bright red mat every day, humming a little song, an old face full of wrinkles is smiling like a layer of chrysanthemums, and the eyes that look at the servants are all smiling, full of kindness that an old man of this age should have. The servants were worried, worried that Master Bai might return to normal one day and beat and scold a group of people again, the Bai family has a total of six servants and a cook, all of whom have been working for many years, and they know too well what it is like for Master Bai to go crazy, and they are trembling these days, and they don't dare to look at Master Bai directly.
The cook thinks about it and decides to go to Fluttershy and find a solution.
Fluttershy came to the house last year, when Mr. White bought her back, and the old servants sweated for the young girl.
Over the years, the Bai family has tortured and killed many children, everyone knows in their hearts, now that the Bai family is tortured, his temper has begun to be tyrannical, every day in addition to smashing things is beating, everyone is worried that this thin little girl will be beaten to death by him, no one thought that Xiao Fluttershy is like a tough weed, she is always smiling when she is beaten, scolded and trampled and tortured, she has a sweet mouth and coaxes people, she likes Master Bai, carefully massages him every day, cooks soup for him to maintain his body, and gradually Master Bai gets better to Xiao Fluttershy, and even relies on her a little everywhere.
"Miss Fluttershy, for the sake of me taking care of you for more than a year, help me, what the hell does the lord mean, he doesn't eat like this, he's old again, and he can't afford to kill my whole family if something happens." The cook had a sad face.
Fluttershy sighs, "Aren't you clear?" It's clear that the food you cook is not to his liking. ”
The cook was stunned: "How come, I make all the dishes that the master loves to eat, how can I not meet his appetite after eating them for so many years?" ”
"I've been eating it for years, so I don't want to eat it now." Fluttershy looks at the cook and sighs, "It's okay to look at it that way, you can go home and enjoy your old age." ”
The cook was surprised: "Since it doesn't suit the old man's appetite, he hasn't eaten for several days, and now he looks in a good mood, once he understands that day, blame me for not cooking well, and I've been hungry for him for many days, so ...... You can't kill me. ”
The cook didn't consider that Master Bai was so old, how could she live without eating for a few days, because she had been in the Bai family for many years, and in such a tyrannical environment, she had already demonized Master Bai.
Fluttershy sighs deliberately, "So what to do?" Otherwise, you run first, if the money is enough, not enough for me to take some from the master, you also know what status I have in the Bai family, maybe I will be killed by the master at any time, I have no money myself. ”
The cook's tears of emotion are about to flow out, and sure enough, this Fluttershy girl is the most kind-hearted.
She has been controlled by Master Bai for so many years, where dare she escape in private, if she is discovered by Master Bai, her family is afraid that she will die.
Thinking of this, the cook sighed: "Forget it, it's all my life, I coveted the money given by the Bai family, and took the initiative to come to the Bai family to work, and over the years, I have watched so many children being tortured by the Bai family, dead and injured, now it's my turn, this is all my retribution for not saving me in the past." ”
Looking at the fat figure of the cook, a sneer appeared on the corner of Fluttershy's mouth: "Can't you save yourself when you die?" Back then, your little kindness, as long as you secretly opened the door in the middle of the night, or gave a bite of food to the child who was about to be tortured to death, maybe you could save a life, but you didn't do anything, just watched so many children die miserably, and were casually thrown into the wilderness late at night with no bones left, and now you are also beginning to be frightened in the shadow of Master Bai?
The cook doesn't find a good solution from Fluttershy, so she sighs and returns to the kitchen.
Soon, two more old servants came over and said with a sad face, "What should I do, the tea we sent has not moved, sir...... Is this really going to clean us up? "I didn't eat the food I sent, I didn't drink the tea I sent, and the people of the Bai family held their breath these days, and they were even worried that the panting sound would alarm the master, in exchange for a violent beating.
Master Bai beat people very fiercely, with crutches and leather whips to greet together, and even called the miscellaneous servants of the Bai family's business to punch and kick around people, and soon the beaten people couldn't move with blood from their noses and mouths.
These old servants had seen with their own eyes the scene of Master Bai beating people to death when he was angry, and now they were trembling when they thought about it.
What now?
The cook said in a low voice: "It's better to escape, the master will kill us when he returns to normal." ”
"Where to escape, we have been in the Bai family for half our lives, and the master knows that the monk can't run away from the temple, I'm afraid that the old man will be angry and tear down our house."
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, sighing.
The cook reluctantly turned on the gasoline stove, and the dark red flames suddenly burst out.
The cook said, "Even if I don't eat the rice, I have to continue to make it, so let's cook a soup for the master now." ”
The servants looked at the flames jumping on the stove, and their faces were dark.
