A rare opportunity

Li Yu thought that Ma Ji was afraid of alarming Liu Lin outside, so he gave up and followed him out of the wooden house.

Liu Lin was a little surprised when he saw Li Yu following him, but he just thought that this person was a cheap man with thick skin and flesh, so he didn't think much of him. He immediately hung a few water bags on the neck of one of them, waved his hand, and walked forward without saying a word.

Zhang Ren and Han Xu followed closely behind Li Yu, Ma Ji and others, and along the path in the field, they came to the medicinal field where Ma Ji and others had picked half of the herbs yesterday.

Ma Ji and the others were familiar with the route, and without the instructions of the three Blind Mountain Ghosts, they each picked up a hoe and began to pick the fruits. Their movements were extremely skillful, as if they had been trained for a long time.

Li Yu was not surprised, because for him, these were basic skills as a farmer. He immediately picked up a hoe and followed their example to pick the fruits.

Although Li Yu had never done much farm work, he had seen pigs run even though he had never eaten pork. He had never done farm work, but he watched others do it every day. He didn't need to learn anything when he picked up the tools. He could do it naturally!

Seeing that Li Yu was slow at first but seemed to be doing the job well, Ma Ji and the others could not help but feel disappointed! You know, they were beaten by the three ghosts of Blind Mountain yesterday because they were too slow in learning to pick herbs.

I thought this kid looked stupid, and even if he wasn't really stupid, he wouldn't be very smart, so I was waiting for him to be abused. But I never thought that this kid seemed to be a natural worker. After just a few glances, he had already mastered the tricks of picking. Although he was a little slow, he didn't damage even a single herb! Compared with them, it was really a world of difference!

You know, yesterday, each of them destroyed at least ten herbs before they mastered the trick of picking them!

The three ghosts of Blind Mountain were very satisfied! Although there was no verbal reward, no verbal reprimand, and no corporal punishment like the one given to Ma Ji and others yesterday. This made Ma Ji and others very jealous. They looked at each other and deliberately sped up the picking speed, hoping that Li Yu would panic and make mistakes in a hurry.

Although Li Yu didn't understand their intention, the three ghosts of Blind Mountain knew it very well! Originally, if Li Yu, Ma Ji and others hadn't come, all the picking work would have fallen on them. Now with these coolies, they naturally don't need to do it themselves. But sometimes people are bored and always want to find some fun. In their opinion, what could be more fun than beating people?

Of course, they are not good people, but we can't beat them up for no reason, right? We still have to rely on them to work, and if they go on strike, they can't do anything! We can't beat them to death, right?

If you make a mistake in what you are asked to do, that is different. That is called punishment! The so-called teacher has a legitimate reason for beating someone, right? Therefore, he was also looking forward to Li Yu making a mistake.

But to everyone's disappointment, Li Yu was not panicked when he saw them speeding up, and just thought they were rushing to make progress. He had already mastered the picking skills, and his hands could not help but speed up, picking speed is not much slower than Ma Ji and others.

Slow, but it was still a bit slow. When Liu Lin saw this, he seemed to have caught something on him, so he immediately rushed over and kicked him down, pointing at his nose and yelling:

"Are you fucking going against me on purpose? Are you trying to make trouble? Look at them and then look at you!"

After saying that, he could not help but punch and kick him again, until Li Yu's nose and face were swollen, and he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Although Li Yu was full of grievances, he did not dare to defend himself. He could only silently get up, wipe off the dirt on his face, and pick up the hoe on the ground.

Although he had never seen this kind of herb before, based on his experience, the most effective part of this herb should be the tiny roots on the rhizomes. Therefore, when he picked the herbs, in order to ensure the integrity of the roots, he had to expand the scope of digging and be very careful when removing the soil from the rhizomes. This invisibly slowed down the picking speed.

However, in order to increase the speed blindly, Ma Ji and others not only destroyed the roots but also the rhizomes in order to preserve them. The medicinal properties of these herbs would be reduced by at least half!

Although he knew it in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud because if he did, Ma Ji and the others would definitely be punished. They had just healed his injuries, so they couldn't repay kindness with hatred, right?

What Li Yu didn't see was that when he was kicked by Liu Lin, Ma Ji and the other three couldn't help but reveal a gloating smile on their faces.

Although Li Yu wanted to speed up the process, he didn't want to destroy the medicinal properties of the herbs, so he could only speed up his movements. However, even this increase in speed could be ignored.

Liu Lin couldn't help but get furious! In his opinion, this was Li Yu's contempt for him! He immediately rushed towards Li Yu again!

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the side and grabbed his arm tightly! Liu Lin was furious and was about to curse, but when he looked closely, he found that it was Han Xu who grabbed him!

You know, although Han Xu is deaf and dumb, both he and Zhang Ren are afraid of him! Because Han Xu has always been cruel to everyone and never shows mercy!

He looked at Han Xu in astonishment, not understanding why he would stop him. Zhang Ren was originally preparing to watch a good show, and he also didn't understand why Han Xu wanted to stop him, so he immediately came over.

Han Xu took the two of them to the herbs that Li Yu had collected, gestured to him, and then took them to the herbs that Ma Ji and his team had collected and pointed at them. The two of them took a closer look and became furious!

Without saying a word, the two men rushed to Ma Ji and the others, and before they could react, they kicked the four of them to the ground with two "bang bang" kicks!

Ma Ji and the other three didn't understand what was going on, and were all stunned by the kick! Before the four of them could react, they were surrounded by the three Blind Mountain Ghosts!

Li Yu was also shocked! Are these people crazy? They attack others for no reason?

Ma Ji immediately roared:

"What are you doing? Why are you hitting us for no reason?"

Liu Lin grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the herbs that Li Yu had picked. He pressed his head and face against the herbs and said sternly:

"Why? Then I'll show you why. What did I tell you? Look at what you've done! The medicinal properties of the herbs you f*cking picked have been lost by at least half. Do you think we should fight? Hmm?"

"I……"

Before Ma Ji could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. It turned out that Liu Lin had punched him in the lower abdomen, causing him to feel abdominal cramps, bitterness at the corners of his mouth, and stars in front of his eyes!

Only then did he remember their previous instructions. He didn't expect that he just wanted to frame Li Yu, but ended up hurting himself! He felt regretful and hated Li Yu to the core!

After hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but secretly regret, why didn't he go to pick the fruits like them? If I caused them to be punished, they would definitely scold me for repaying kindness with enmity, right?
