Chapter 336 Tiger Whip
"That's right. Look at Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan. They look so blessed. They must have enjoyed a lot of blessings in Futian Village." Someone echoed, with envy and jealousy on his face.
"I heard that the villagers of Futian Village are united. No wonder even the county magistrate can't do anything to them." Another person came over and said excitedly.
Everyone was talking one after another, praising Futian Village. Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan seemed a little uneasy amid the envy. They were the poorest in the village, but they felt a hint of pride in front of these people who could not even get enough food to eat.
The villagers gathered around Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan, talking about them in a flurry.
"Why are you in our village today?" a bearded man shouted at the top of his voice. He stared at the two of them with wide eyes and looked them up and down curiously.
"That's right, is there something important?" A white-haired old man also joined in, tapping the pipe in his hand lightly on the ground.
After learning the two men's intentions, a clever young man in the crowd immediately volunteered, saying, "I'll run to Brother He's house right now to tell him the news!" Then he ran off like the wind, shouting, "Brother He, someone from Futian Village is looking for you!"
The others were not idle either. Some pulled Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan aside to ask them questions, while others whispered to each other, guessing why they came.
Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan did not stay there for too long. They just chatted with the villagers who gathered around them, then hurriedly said goodbye and walked straight to He Sange's house.
They walked quickly along the winding village road and soon arrived at the door of He Sange's house. At this time, He Sange had already opened the gate in advance and was standing at the door to greet them with a smile.
He Sange greeted them warmly, "Brother Cunliang, why are you here? Come in and sit down!" As he spoke, he stepped aside and gestured for them to come in.
Zhao Cunliang quickly clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Brother He San, sorry to bother you!" Tian Guilan also bowed slightly and followed Zhao Cunliang into the yard.
He Sange shouted, "Cuihua, serve the tea!" A moment later, a woman came out with a tea tray, placed the steaming hot tea on the table, and said with a smile, "Everyone, please enjoy."
The woman named Cuihua had dark skin, as if she had been scorched by the summer sun for a long time. She was not very tall and had a petite figure, making her inconspicuous in the crowd.
Her facial features were not very pretty. Her eyebrows were light, like two floating clouds; her eyes were not big, and the corners of her eyes drooped slightly, making her look less lively; her nose was not straight enough, and looked a bit flat; her lips were thin, and the color was dull.
Her facial features are ordinary when put together, with nothing particularly outstanding about them.
Tian Guilan glanced at Cuihua furtively and muttered to herself, "What a filthy girl! Her dark skin, like a piece of charcoal, and her short stature, lack any feminine charm. And her facial features, plain and unremarkable, with no appeal at all. With this appearance, I'm afraid she won't be able to get married!"
There was a hint of contempt and disdain in Tian Guilan's eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her heart was full of disgust for Cuihua's appearance.
Zhao Cunliang smiled broadly and said in a friendly tone, "Brother He, look, I don't have anything particularly valuable to bring you, so I brought you some sweet potatoes."
Upon hearing this, Tian Guilan hurriedly placed a heavy basket in front of He Sange, her face filled with a warm smile, and said hastily, "He Sange, this is a rare food from beyond the Great Wall. It can be boiled and eaten, it's soft and sticky; it can also be roasted and eaten, it's sweet and delicious, and it tastes especially good!"
The sweet potatoes were discovered by Shi Liu on the mountain. The two men said this on purpose to let He San Ge know how precious the sweet potatoes are.
He Sange looked at the basket full of food and couldn't help swallowing, his eyes full of desire and surprise. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his eyes lingered on the sweet potatoes for a long time, unable to move away.
After a long while, he finally recovered and sighed, saying, "Brother Cunliang, to be honest, my daughter and I haven't had a full meal for a long time. The things you brought today really solved our urgent need. But I know you must have something wrong, so just tell me what it is. I will definitely help you if I can!"
Hearing this, Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan looked at each other, and their hearts, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
Zhao Cunliang smiled broadly and asked tentatively, "Brother He San, I heard that you killed a tiger a few years ago?"
When He Sange heard this, a smug look suddenly appeared on his face. He puffed out his chest and said loudly, "That's right! Beating a tiger is not an easy task!"
He went on excitedly, "I watched that guy for several days, sleeping in the open air, with neither food nor sleep. The tiger was very cunning, hiding deep in the mountains and forests. It took me a lot of effort to figure out its whereabouts."
"In order to catch it, I set up many traps in the woods, but the tiger was very clever and managed to avoid them every time. But I, He Laosan, am no pushover either. In the end, I managed to capture it with my tenacity and wisdom!" Brother He San became more and more excited as he spoke.
Hearing this, Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan couldn't help but smile at each other, their eyes revealing a hint of anticipation. Zhao Cunliang asked cautiously, "Brother He San, do you still have that tiger whip?"
Third Brother He's smile widened, his eyes almost narrowing into slits, and he said proudly, "Of course, that thing is a good thing, I can't bear to sell it! I soaked it in medicinal wine and will give it to my daughter as a dowry in the future."
He Sange patted his thigh as he spoke, his face filled with longing for the future and love for his daughter. There wasn't much valuable at home, but this tiger penis was a rare item. With this dowry, his daughter could hold her head high in her husband's family.
When Zhao Cunliang heard this, his heart skipped a beat. An embarrassment appeared on his face. He rubbed his hands and said, "Brother He San, to be honest, we came here just for this tiger whip. My kid is injured and urgently needs this thing as medicine. Can you..."
Tian Guilan also chimed in, "Brother He, please be kind and we're willing to pay a high price. We'll also find a way to make up for your daughter's dowry. We won't let you suffer any loss."
He Sange's face darkened instantly when he heard this. He frowned and said firmly, "No! This is what I prepared for my daughter. I can't sell it no matter what!"
Tian Guilan frowned, thought for a moment, and then her face darkened. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then we will come and propose to you!"
When He Sange heard this, he was completely stunned. His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he shouted, "What on earth are you two doing here? You've completely confused me!"
