Chapter 13 and the Dividing of Meat
Chapter 13 and the Dividing of Meat
"Lu Bo?"
"Why did you come here?"
Upon seeing Lü Ping, the eldest son of the Wang family instinctively reached for his knife.
But... who keeps knives and swords at hand while eating? They were enjoying their meal, never expecting that Lü Ping would sneak into their door with a knife in the middle of the night. For a moment, the eldest son of the Wang family could only find a short knife for cutting meat.
And so.
He could only force himself to smile and try to stall for time.
As for the others in the courtyard, they had no weapons at hand and were in a state of panic.
Some hurriedly got up, others forced a smile, and some were so startled that they dropped their wooden bowls on the ground, large chunks of mutton rolling and getting covered in dust.
The mutton was piping hot.
It rolled right next to Lü Ping's feet.
Lu Ping glanced at it, slightly lifted his foot to avoid stepping on the mutton, then looked up and smiled again.
"Didn't we hear you wanted to eat meat?"
"I'm shameless. I haven't had meat in a long time. I'd like to have a bite too."
"What? You don't welcome Ping?"
It was noticeable that Lü Ping did not immediately retaliate.
The eldest son of the Wang family, whose seat was slightly closer to the courtyard gate, breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly spoke.
"Welcome! It's rare for Uncle Lü to come, so of course you're welcome!"
"Uncle Lü, please have a seat!"
"I'll share the meat with you!"
"Ah Hong, what are you standing there for? Go find Uncle Lü a seat!"
As he spoke, he subconsciously got up and called to his younger brother to find a seat for Lü Ping. He himself planned to take this opportunity to go to the back room to get a long knife.
only...
Before the eldest son of the Wang family could get up, a slightly heavy blade was pressed against his shoulder.
A forceful pressure forced him to sit down.
Feeling the coldness on his neck, the eldest son of the Wang family instantly understood what it was. He got goosebumps all over and pretended to look up blankly.
"Uncle Lü..."
"What's wrong with you...?"
"Eating meat is one thing, but eating meat is another!"
Looking at the eldest son of the Lü family in front of him, Lü Ping's lips curled into a cold smile.
"But did I just tell you to get up?"
Seeing Lü Ping's actions.
The men in the courtyard were also in a panic, some trying to persuade him earnestly, others cursing him out.
"Uncle Lü, what are you trying to do?!"
"Uncle Lü... my young master kindly invited you to eat meat, how could you point a knife at him?!"
"You shameless bastard, Lü Ping! I spit on you! You ungrateful scoundrel!"
"Have you forgotten how pathetic you were when you were seriously ill and your husband, Lü Bu, brought you to our village for refuge? If it weren't for my elder brother's kindness in taking you and your father in, you might be dead somewhere!"
"..."
Lu Ping ignored them completely. He simply held his knife, glanced at the crowd indifferently, and chuckled softly.
"I'll say it one more time."
"And all of you, sit still and behave yourselves. Anyone who dares to stand up will die!"
As he spoke, he applied a slight pressure to his hand.
The blade is sharp.
Wang's eldest son immediately felt a faint liquid seeping from his neck.
He panicked.
"Sit down, everyone!"
"And we'll do as Lü Bo says!"
Seeing that blood was seeping from the neck of the eldest son of the Wang family, and hearing his cries, the men in the courtyard, though unwilling, obediently sat down.
"That's more like it!"
Lü Ping nodded in satisfaction.
Then, under the watchful eyes of these men with their varied expressions...
Strange things happened.
Lu Ping actually removed the long sword from the neck of the eldest son of the Wang family, and calmly sat down on the ground beside him.
This behavior caused the group of men to look at each other in bewilderment.
Even the eldest son of the Wang family was momentarily bewildered. He subconsciously reached out to touch his neck, and seeing that the blood had stopped seeping out, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
"Come on!" Lü Ping said with a carefree laugh, spreading his legs wide.
"Didn't you say you were going to treat me to mutton?"
"Hira is seated. Where is the meat?"
They were clearly bleeding, and they almost came to blows just now.
Lu Ping, as if nothing had happened, casually sat down and asked to eat meat.
Wang's eldest son, barely managing to regain his composure, stared at Lü Ping for a while. Seeing that this man really looked like he wanted to eat meat, he was truly puzzled and could only force a smile and speak.
"That's natural!"
"I will now divide the meat with Uncle Lü."
"Ah Hong! Quickly find Uncle Lü a seat! And get him a bowl!"
"Alright!" The youngest son of the Wang family, who was called Ah Hong, immediately understood the meaning behind his elder brother's words. His eyes flickered, and he smiled as he bent down to get up.
"I'll go inside now."
As they talked, the two of them quietly glanced at Lü Ping, who was sitting down.
Seeing that Lü Ping had no reaction.
The youngest son of the Wang family then slowly stood up.
And almost the instant the youngest son of the Wang family stood up.
"Buzz!"
A mournful cry of a bowstring trembling suddenly rang out in the air!
A powerful arrow flew in from outside the courtyard!
It streaked through the air, leaving a trail of afterimages, and struck the young Wang family member directly in the neck!
It looked like it had hit a major artery!
Blood exploded!
It immediately splashed onto the faces of the tenant farmers standing beside the young Wang family son!
A sea of red and black!
"Bang!"
The youngest son of the Wang family, like a roasted chicken hanging up, with half an arrow through his neck, fell heavily to the ground!
"Wang Hong!!" The eldest son of the Wang family was stunned for a moment, and then he wailed in despair.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he held the short knife he used to cut meat, ready to get up and fight Lü Ping, who was sitting next to him!
only...
Before he could get up.
A long, gleaming blade was once again placed across his neck.
The blade was sharp, and blood seeped out.
If the eldest son of the Wang family dared to make a move, this long knife would instantly sever his throat.
When Wang's eldest son regained consciousness, he was stiff and motionless, breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot, staring straight at Lü Ping.
"Sit down." Lü Ping didn't look at him, but instead gazed at the group of men around him and spoke calmly.
Wang's eldest son took a deep breath, his chest heaving rapidly.
He gritted his teeth and obediently sat down.
only...
This time, the long, gleaming sword was still held across his neck.
"Share the meat with me."
After confirming that the group of men were terrified by the arrow, Lü Ping turned to look at the eldest son of the Wang family and spoke coldly again.
This statement came out.
The eldest son of the Wang family immediately blushed.
He didn't react for a long time.
Lu Ping remained calm, only raising his voice slightly.
"I said."
"Give me some of the meat!"
The eldest son of the Wang family's chest heaved again, but he still did not react.
Look at that state.
Before Lü Ping could express his dissatisfaction, the other tenants in the courtyard, as well as the bandits who had come down from Wula Mountain, couldn't help but urge him on.
"Young Master, Lu Bo says he wants to eat meat."
"Why don't you share some with him?!"
"Yes! Uncle Lü just wants to eat meat; he's not doing anything else outrageous. Why don't you share some with him?"
"Young Master! Young Master!"
"..."
Urged on by the men, the eldest son of the Wang family finally moved. He concealed the malice in his eyes, took a deep breath, picked up a wooden bowl that had just fallen to the ground, and dared not straighten up. He just hunched over and kept moving closer to the lamb in the middle.
He held the small knife in his hand and began cutting meat with Lü Ping.
