Chapter 35 Farmer’s Wife
Liu Fang: …(¬_¬)
For a strong man with a ghostly appearance, crying loudly in front of her, it was really spicy-eyes!
[辣眼睛 (la yan jing) or “spicy eyes.” It is a way of commenting on something that makes your eyes feel like they have been damaged. A fabulous internet phrase to describe when you are looking at something awful, similar to the English phrase “makes my eyes bleed.”]
With a light wave of Liu Fang’s hand, Qiao Ba who cried was thrown to the ground. He sat there holding the shattered big sword in his hand, like Meng Jiangnu bitter wailing.
[The Story of Meng Jiangnu is one of the most widespread and famous legend about the Great Wall of China. It is a heart-breaking tragic story that talks about the separation of Meng Jiangnu and her husband for building the Great Wall]
Geez, how pitiful!
Everyone in the Liu family said silently in their hearts. He was beaten until he cried by Liu Fang.
Liu Fang didn’t pay attention to Qiao Ba, and kept swinging the iron whip with her right hand, but when the bandits saw that their boss was beaten to the point of crying like a dog, they all quickly backed away and ran!
Liu Fang: …(ー_ー)!!
On the caravan side, the other bandits didn’t know or understand what happened, but when they saw that their companions had all run away, they also ran away.
Everyone: …So – this fight is over?
Everyone in the caravan looked at each other with blank faces…
Liu Fang saw that the bandits had run away, so she jumped down from the roof of the mule cart. She was about to see how her family was doing, but suddenly the crying Qiao Ba hugged her calf.
Liu Fang subconsciously wanted to lift her foot to kick him, but Qiao Ba cried loudly: “You pay, you pay for my sword!”
Liu Fang couldn’t go on kicking, but: … (ー_ー)!!
She was afraid that his brain was beaten silly.
But Qiao Ba didn’t know that Liu Fang was at a loss of words, he still hugged her calf and cried, yelling for her to pay for his sword.
This is also a talent!
Liu Fang was irritated by his crying, and said coldly: “If you cry again, I will pull out your tongue!”
Qiao Ba stopped crying, looked up at her tearfully, and complained. “How can you be so fierce? You broke my sword, how can you still want to kill me?”
Liu Fang: …
The veins on her forehead were throbbing, it was really spicy eyes to see him like this.
“Okay, we were fighting at that time, who cares about your big sword? If you can beat me, will you care about my iron whip?”
Qiao Ba: … He was speechless.
“Is there nothing to say? Let go if you have nothing to say! Such a big man, how dare you hold a young lady’s leg and cry? You are not ashamed, but I am ashamed!”
Qiao Ba: …
He wants to cry even more!
But Liu Fang frowned in disgust and said, “If you cry again, I will really going to beat you!”
Qiao Ba had no choice but to hold back his tears, and said eagerly: “Then, then you accept me as a disciple. In this way, I won’t cry anymore, and I won’t ask you to pay for my sword.”
Liu Fang covered her eyes with her hand, and said weakly, “Did you make a mistake? You are a bandit, and you want me to take you as a disciple?”
Qiao Ba said anxiously, “No, I am not a bandit. That is, my brother asked me to be the boss temporarily the day before yesterday. I have never been a boss, so I agreed to him. Today is the first time I have come out to rob. I am really not a bandit! I used to be a ranger, and I just went around looking for people to compete in martial arts. I really didn’t do anything bad! I used to be so poor that I couldn’t even afford food, and I was often hungry. Because my brother said that being a boss I can eat enough, and I can make money, that’s why I came here. Master, you can’t despise me!”
The theory: The importance of being thick skin.
Proof: You can get the results you want!
Therefore, Liu Fang was entangled by Qiao Ba, who stalked her with shamelessness!
The Liu family members looked at them, from surprise to relief, and then it became the current situation of watching a show with full of interest.
And the people on the caravan side were also attracted by the movement from their side, and they were watching their excitement with relaxed expressions.
Liu Fang wanted to slap this bastard to death!
She raised her foot and kicked Qiao Ba away in disgust. Of course, Qiao Ba couldn’t resist. He lay on the ground, staring at Liu Fang eagerly as if he would never let go.
Liu Fang had a headache, she thought about it and looked at Father Liu hesitantly, but Father Liu smiled slightly and didn’t say anything.
She looked at Aunt Chen again, Aunt Chen shrugged and said nothing.
She turned to look at Madam Liu, but Madam Liu looked back with a calm smile, also silent.
The others, Liu Fang looked over one by one, all looked back with a smile but didn’t speak.
Well, she still has to make her own decisions.
She turned her head, looked at Qiao Ba, and said lightly: “It’s not impossible for me to accept you as a disciple. As long as you promise me three conditions.”
Qiao Ba was overjoyed!
He immediately rolled up, knelt in front of Liu Fang, patted his chest and said, “Don’t say three, even it was thirty, three hundred, I, Qiao Ba, won’t even blink an eye, as long as you tell me, I will definitely do it !”
Liu Fang stretched out her fingers and shook, “Don’t be so full, listen to my conditions first, and then decide whether you want me to be your teacher.”
Qiao Ba was depressed, but he could only nod and said, “Okay, you say.”
Liu Fang raised her index finger lightly and said, “First, follow us later, and when you arrive at the next town, go to the Yamen and surrender yourself, admitting that you blocked the road and robbed!” She looked around again, and asked Qiao Ba, “Did you kill someone just now?”
[衙门 (Ya men) government office in ancient China]
Qiao Ba shook his head and replied honestly: “No. In the beginning, I followed him—”
He pointed to the leader of the caravan guard,
“I was fighting him. Not long after that, I saw you, and then I ran over to fight you.”
Needless to say, everyone knew this.
Liu Fang looked up at the leader of the guards. He nodded, “That’s right. He did fight me as soon as he rushed down. He never fought with others, let alone kill anyone.”
Qiao Ba continued. “I saw that he was very powerful, so I ran over to fight him, but I didn’t expect him to be an embroidered pillow, weak, and the fight was boring.”
The guard leader: …
Liu Fang: …
Everyone: …
All right, this is a silly material maniac!
Liu Fang didn’t bother about this, so she just nodded and said: “Well, good. If that’s the case, you can go to the Yamen and turn yourself in and say that you blocked the road and robbed, and then wait for the Yamen’s trial. You should serve your sentence and be exiled. You can’t run away.”
Qiao Ba nodded, “Okay, I’ll go, and I won’t run. Even if they want to hit me on the board, I won’t hide or resist. I will be honest and obedient.”
Liu Fang saw his expression was sincere, and she was finally somewhat satisfied: Although he was a bit stupid, he was still a good person.
She stretched out a finger again, and said: “Okay. The second thing is, you can’t find people to compete at will from now on. Without my permission, you can only stay where I let you stay. Do what I asked you to do. Do you understand?”
Qiao Ba nodded, “You are my master, of course I have to listen to you.”
Liu Fang smiled, nodded in satisfaction, and said: “So, the third is, you, can’t—”
She turned and pointed at Liu’s family, “Can’t take action toward people like them! Is it possible?”
Qiao Ba looked at Father Liu and others, and asked, “Are they your family?”
Liu Fang nod.
Qiao Ba heaved a sigh of relief, and said, “Since they are Master’s family members, I will definitely not hurt them. If anyone dares to touch them, I will be the first to refuse!”
Liu Fang shook her head and said, “I’m not just talking about that. They are my family, and with me around, they will have no worries. What I am saying is: just like them, they are unarmed and powerless. They are just ordinary, honest people. Those people, you also can’t just hit and kill if you want. Do you understand?”
Qiao Ba was a little confused, and he didn’t understand why Liu Fang wanted to care about other people’s lives, but he really wanted her as a teacher.
So, he nodded and said, “Okay, I, Qiao Ba, must listen to my master and not harm the common people!”
Liu Fang really thought that Qiao Ba was good,
So she nodded a smile, “If that’s the case, you should kowtow first. If you can’t fulfil it, I’ll clean up the door myself!”
Qiao Ba was pleasantly surprised! Looking up he couldn’t believe it.
Liu Fang smiled: “What? Do you want to go back on your word?”
Qiao Ba immediately shook his head, straightened up quickly, respectfully, and sincerely kowtowed three times to Liu Fang.
“Papa papa!”
The sound made everyone feel their foreheads hurt!
Qiao Ba raised his face, his forehead was red and swollen, but he didn’t seem to notice it, grinned happily, and smirked loudly to Liu Fang: “Master!”
“Good.” Liu Fang smiled with satisfaction, but she immediately put away her smile again and said seriously to Qiao Ba: “Since you entered our sect today, you are a member of our sect. From now on, you must abide by the rules of our sect: abide by the law, behave in a responsible manner, and be worthy of heaven and worthy of the people! If there is any violation, the foundation of martial arts will be abolished, and the death will be serious! Do you understand?”
Qiao Ba nodded solemnly: “I understand, I will follow the master’s instruction, and I will never forget it in this life!”
Then Liu Fang really smiled, “Okay. You are the first personal disciple I accept, so, as a master, I will give you a present: Your original name is Qiao Ba, I think this name is not good, how about I give you a new name?”
Qiao Ba nodded happily, “Thank you, master, please give me a name!”
The ancients treated the master like a father, and it was a very proud thing to be named by the master.
That’s why Qiao Ba was so happy when he heard that Liu Fang was going to give him a name.
Liu Fang looked at the scar on his face, and his ferocious face became even more ferocious.
She thought for a while, smiled, and said to Qiao Ba: “From now on, you will be called Qiao Zheng! The past you will be forgotten along with the past name. From now on, you will look like this name, firm and unyielding, worthy of the world, You are also worthy of yourself!”
Qiao Ba, oh no, it is Qiao Zheng now, his eyes were flushed, and he kowtowed to Liu Fang very excitedly, saying: “Thank you, Master, for giving this name! Qiao Zheng will live up to this name in this life! Live up to the teacher’s kindness!”
She leaned over with a smile, reached out to support Qiao Zheng, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Very good. I hope you can keep your promise today and truly do what you said.”
Qiao Zheng raised his hand and roughly wiped the tears from his eyes, nodded solemnly, “Yes, master, just watch, this apprentice can definitely do it!”
Liu Fang smiled with satisfaction!
A bandit robbery ended like this. Everyone looked at the masters and disciple in the field, and they were all in a daze…
One is soft and delicate, and the other is tall and fierce, but they are completely opposite: the one who looks weak is the master. The fierce one is the disciple!
This picture was a really rare sight in life!
Ding ~ Sect unlocked! THANK YOU! XD
