The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 379 Do your best and obey fate

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I'm getting on the horse, I can't get on the horse!" Xue Pan was beaten all over the head by Jia Huan, and he was in so much pain. Seeing that Jia Huan was so strong and he was isolated and helpless, he couldn't beat him, so he had to give in.

Jia Huan put away his whip and shouted coldly, "Get on the horse!"

At this time, the dull bully Mr. Xue had been whipped at least twenty or thirty times. He felt burning pain all over his body, and there were several bloody whip marks on his head and face. It was a horrible sight.

Except for the last time when he was caught by Lei Zhengfa and tortured in prison, Xue Pan had never suffered such pain before. He felt both hatred and fear in his heart. However, Huan Lao San was too powerful. Even the leader of the Jinyiwei, Yi Hong, gave him face, and the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, Jia Yucun, was also polite to this kid. It would be useless to report him to the authorities for assault.

The more Xue Pan thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Coupled with the burning pain in his body, he couldn't help but burst into tears. However, his cry was hoarse like the quacking of a duck, which was really ridiculous.

"Ha ha ha ha... Huan Lao San is too bullying. Why do you hit me? My parents have never touched me since I was a child. Who do you think you are..."

Xue Pan cried and cursed, but Jia Huan just raised the whip. Xue Pan was so scared that he shut his mouth and covered his head. He got up from the ground and mounted the horse obediently.

Jia Huan jumped onto the horse, pointed the whip at Xue Pan's nose and said coldly: "Why should I beat you? Because my aunt asked me to discipline you. If it weren't for my aunt and Bao sister, I would not bother to care about a waste like you. Xue Pan, listen to me, if you dare to make trouble again, I will break one of your legs. I, Jia Huan, am a man of my words. If you dare to do it again, try it."

Under Jia Huan's sharp gaze, Xue Pan couldn't help but shiver, his face turned pale, and he didn't even dare to fart.

After Jia Huan scolded Xue Pan, he pulled the reins and drove his horse forward without saying another word. Xue Pan followed behind him dejectedly. There was nothing he could do. This kid Huan Lao San was so cruel that he really dared to beat him to death. He said he would break a leg, and he would definitely do what he said.

The two servants Tianfu and Tianlu looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with awe as they looked at Jia Huan's back. They had served Xue Pan for many years and knew their master's temper very well. He was domineering and fearless, but now he was completely subdued by Jia Huan. It was true that a bad man must be punished by another bad man.

Lin Zhixiao and his son were also awe-inspiring. When Jia Huan showed his power, his eyes and his fierce aura seemed to be even more majestic than the master, and he was inviolable. Wow, he was worthy of being a man who had led troops in tough battles. Although he was young, he was incomparable to others.

In this way, Lin Zhixiao naturally became more determined to cling to Jia Huan. The Jia family has been going downhill now, and everyone in the family is mediocre. If the Jia family can revive in the future, or even glorify the family, it will definitely depend on Master Huan Sanye.

Without further ado, let's talk about Jia Huan bringing Xue Pan back to the Xue family. Aunt Xue, Baochai and others had heard the news and were waiting there. They were relieved to see Xue Pan return safely, but when they saw that Xue Pan was covered in scars, they felt distressed again.

"Oh my God, how could he be beaten like this? That damn bastard was so cruel!" Aunt Xue screamed in shock, tears streaming down her face due to the heartache.

Xue Pan immediately got excited, pointed at Jia Huan and complained: "It was Huan Lao San who beat me. He even said he would break my legs. Ouch... It hurts so much!"

Jia Huan just glanced at Xue Pan indifferently, and the latter was so scared that he immediately shut his mouth and hid behind Aunt Xue in fear. Half of his fear was real, and half was just pretending, obviously trying to discredit Jia Huan's image in the eyes of his mother and sister.

However, Jia Huan said calmly, "Aunt, the wound on cousin Pan's body was indeed caused by Huan'er."

Aunt Xue couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment, while Xue Pan shouted proudly: "Look, Huan Lao San himself admitted it. Mother and sisters, don't be fooled by Huan Lao San's gentle appearance. This kid is very cruel and often bullies the strong. He beat me to death. Beat him out quickly... Ouch!"

Before Xue Pan could finish his words, Aunt Xue pinched his arm hard. He screamed in pain and looked at his mother with wide eyes in confusion.

Aunt Xue angrily scolded, "Huan'er beat you well. I asked him to discipline you. You are a lawless bastard. You deserve someone to discipline you. You better behave yourself in the future. Otherwise, you deserve to have your legs broken by Huan'er."

Xue Pan was dumbfounded. He thought his mother was supporting him, but she actually spoke for Jia Huan. He felt even more aggrieved. His face turned red and white. Finally, he shouted in grief and anger, turned around and ran to the back of the house.

"Asshole, what a sin..." Aunt Xue stamped her feet and burst into tears.

Jia Huan couldn't help but sigh secretly upon seeing this. Aunt Xue was actually quite pitiful. She became a widow at an early age, and raised her children as a woman. However, her only son turned out to be a waste. Now this useless son had even lost the ability to carry on the family line. In a feudal society where the three unfilial acts were not to have descendants, this was truly an unbearable burden.

"Aunt, Sister Bao, Huan'er will take her leave first!" Jia Huan bowed and prepared to leave. After all, it is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, so it is better to leave the Xue family's internal affairs to them to handle themselves.

Aunt Xue was not in the mood at the moment, so she forced a smile and said, "It's a mess at home, and I won't keep you here, precious girl, please send Huan off for me."

Xue Baochai escorted Jia Huan to the corner gate. Jia Huan stopped and turned around and said, "Sister Bao, please go back. You don't have to escort me anymore." Xue Baochai nodded and said apologetically, "Brother Huan, don't take your brother's words to heart. Brother has never been afraid of anyone since he was a child, and no one can control him. It's a good thing that he is afraid of you now. He deserves a good beating for his behavior. Alas!"

Xue Baochai had just cried, her almond-shaped eyes were slightly red, and there were traces of moisture on her eyelashes, making her look a little more haggard.

Jia Huan comforted him, "As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise. After this incident, it may not be a bad thing for cousin Pan. Let's go back and ask the doctor to treat him. Maybe..."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xue Baochai's pretty face. She nodded, watched Jia Huan leave, and then turned around and returned to the backyard.

At this moment, Xue Pan was locking himself in the room, roaring like a wild beast, cursing Jia Huan, Lei Zhengfa, and then the Jinyiwei Captain Zhou Hua, gritting his teeth and swearing to take revenge.

Aunt Xue was listening outside the room, feeling distressed and worried. She asked Xue Ke to invite the old doctor who had treated Xue Pan's chrysanthemums before. After a lot of coaxing and deception, she finally convinced Xue Pan to let the doctor treat him.

Although Xue Pan was a coward and cared about face like all men, he still described his symptoms to the old doctor in detail because it concerned the well-being of his lower body and the arduous task of passing on his family line. He even told the old doctor hesitantly about the humiliation he had suffered in the Jinyiwei prison.

It turned out that in the Jinyiwei prison, Zhou Hua, a captain under Lei Zhengfa, in order to please Lei Zhengfa, not only hired people to take turns serving Xue Pan from behind, but also forced him to take a large amount of tiger and wolf medicine, which kept him in an erect state for a long time, which was probably caused physical damage to the man's thing.

This is a big problem. If it is just a psychological trauma, maybe it will recover slowly over time, but as for physical damage, it is hard to say. For example, if the sponge T is damaged, it was basically untreatable in ancient times.

So the old doctor who was good at treating problems of the lower three passages just shook his head after the consultation and treatment. In the end, he just prescribed a few doses of medicine for Xue Pan to strengthen the body, replenish the essence, and strengthen the qi. He thought it was all he could do and left the rest to fate.

After hearing the old doctor's diagnosis, Aunt Xue felt as if the sky had fallen. She cried all night and asked another doctor to treat Xue Pan the next day. It was obvious that she had not given up.

In just half a month, the Xue family invited ten or eight famous doctors, but it is unknown whether the disease was cured or not. Instead, the news that the master of the Xue family was no longer able to function spread throughout the city of Jinling and became a topic of conversation after dinner.

The only good thing is that Xue Pan, that scoundrel, no longer dared to wander the streets and stayed at home all day, which prevented him from causing trouble.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was September. It had been raining for several days. On this morning, it was still raining outside the window and it was a bit cold. Brothers Lin Zhong and Lin Fu were woken up by their father Lin Zhixiao at dawn. Seeing that it was still raining outside, they couldn't help but complain secretly, but they didn't dare to say anything because of their father's authority. After washing up silently, they put on their rain gear and went out without even having breakfast.

The autumn rain was still falling, and the streets were wet everywhere. The eaves on both sides of the street were flowing down, forming a continuous piece, like a bead curtain extending to the end of the street.

As it was still early and it was raining, there were very few people on the street. Lin Zhixiao said nothing and walked quickly towards the Jiangnan Examination Hall, followed closely by brothers Lin Zhong and Lin Fu.

At this time, they happened to pass by a breakfast shop, and the aroma was so fragrant that the two brothers stopped at the same time, touched their stomachs and swallowed their saliva. Lin Zhixiao seemed to have eyes behind his head, and snorted coldly: "Buy it quickly."

The two brothers were overjoyed and decisively went forward to buy two trays of steaming buns. Then they quickly chased after me, handed two to me, and started to wolf them down.

The second son, Lin Fu, was chewing his food while saying, "Dad, I haven't heard that the results will be announced today. In this awful weather, if you run to the Imperial Examination Hall so early in the morning, you might end up running for nothing just like the day before yesterday!"

Lin Zhixiao sneered, "What do you know? The day before yesterday, the fifth day of September, was a Yin day, and today, the seventh day of September, is a Chen day. Since the results were not announced the day before yesterday, they must have been announced today."

Lin Zhongqi asked: "What's the point of this?"

Lin Zhixiao nodded: "Of course there are rules. Although the court stipulates that the results of the provincial examination must be announced before September 15, under normal circumstances, the days for announcing the results in various places will be chosen on the day of the tiger or the day of the dragon for the sake of good luck. Because the tiger belongs to the tiger and the dragon belongs to the dragon, the provincial examination list is also called the dragon and tiger list."

The two brothers suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Let's hurry up and get a good spot when the results are announced. If Third Master Huan gets admitted, we can go there and announce the good news as soon as possible. Third Master might be so happy that he'll agree to move the grave."
