Chapter 349 It’s so hot
Wu Yong's throat was burning with thirst, and he was extremely anxious. He spread his hands and said with a bitter face,
"Third Master, what can I do? Even if I want to leave now, I can't!"
Le Siye wiped the sweat from his head, shook his hands and said,
"Master Wu, do you have money?"
"what?"
Le Siyedao
"Money talks. Let's give those soldiers some money so they can let us go. We can't stand it anymore!"
Wu Yongdao,
"I have money, two silver notes of one hundred taels each. Can they take them?"
The Fifth Master said,
"What cat doesn't like fish? If you can get away, it's better than dying in the sun here!"
Le Siye said,
"Give me the banknote and I'll try!"
Wu Yong also became more cautious.
"Let's go together!"
He was afraid that Fourth Master Le would give the money to the soldiers and run away. Then he would become Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, losing both his wife and his soldiers!
Several people came to the soldiers here panting,
"Master, this is just a small gift. Please do us a favor and let us go home. It's so hot out here!"
The soldier raised his gun and said,
"You've drunk too much fake liquor, what era is this? How dare you do this?
I'm afraid I won't be able to spend your money if I take it!
Get out! If you don't behave yourself, we'll arrest you!"
The soldier thought to himself, I know you are hot, but the higher-ups said that it’s not hot enough. We showed you a little bit of color yesterday, but you didn’t know how to behave, and now it’s happening again today!
It is true that there is a road to heaven but you don’t take it, and there is no door to hell but you walk in!
What kind of place is this? Is this a place where you can come and go as you please?
Not to mention giving me two hundred taels of silver, even if you gave me the entire capital, I would not dare to let you go!
You old guys, instead of enjoying your good life, you come to cause trouble for the emperor!
Sorry, you guys just stay here and bask in the sun. There will be something interesting to watch later!
Seeing that the soldiers' ferocious looks were not fake, Wu Yong and the others came back dejectedly!
What can I do?
Everyone couldn't sit down in the square, and they were sweating profusely if they stood. There was no wind in the sky, and the sun was like a scorching fire.
These days are not only hot, but the air humidity is also the highest. People feel like there is a lock on their necks and they can't breathe.
Some of the older ones didn't care anymore and just sat down on the ground, then jumped up again in an instant because of the heat!
I couldn't sit or stand, so I had to squat.
Some people are smart and take off one of their shoes to put under their buttocks, which is enough.
This was a good idea, and people followed suit, taking off their shoes and using them as cushions while sitting.
What's the point of sitting down? It's still hot. There is a fan, and you fan it as hard as you can, but it doesn't make much difference. The wind can be 50 or 60 degrees, and it feels like burning your face!
After more than an hour, it was around two o'clock. It was the hottest time of the day, and Wu Yong felt like his throat was about to burn!
He kept licking his lips with his tongue, but the more he licked, the thirstier he became!
Some people started to mutter and curse.
"Fuck him, isn't this stupid? He has a good life but instead listens to the bastard's nonsense and suffers like this!
Aren't you in charge of the buns and the mung bean soup? Grandpa doesn't want the buns anymore. Just get me a bowl of cold water!"
Wu Yong heard it but pretended not to hear. He felt weak all over and had no strength at all. How could he have the energy to argue with others?
When Le Siye heard this, he was not happy. He was the one who tricked the person into coming. He also cursed,
"Who the hell are you scolding? Are you a bannerman? Can't you bear such a small crime?
It’s just hot, you won’t die, right?
Our ancestors risked their lives to conquer the country!
Who the hell are we doing this for? We just want to gain more benefits for everyone. You talk as if it's yours!"
That person quit.
"I'm talking about you, my nephew is celebrating his 100th day today, and I'm leaving a good feast here to get out in the sun. Who the hell tricked me into coming here?
If it weren’t for you, you bastard, I would have finished my big meal and gone home to sleep!
If you still don't accept it, go get me some food, no, get me some drinks, and I'll give you credit for that!"
Le Siye stood up,
"I don't have the ability, but you do. If you have the ability, don't use it on us!
If you have the ability to go out now and have food and drink outside, that's real talent!"
The Fifth Master advised,
"Alright, you two, you're usually good brothers. Is it worth it to fight for such a small thing? You'd better think about how to get out of here!"
The one who started cursing was also thirsty and wanted to curse a few words to vent his anger, but when he heard that Fourth Master Le would not let him go, he backed off.
"Alright, stop talking, it's all my fault!"
Mr. Le Si was also exhausted. He had just been holding on with his last breath. When he saw that the other party was scared, he stopped talking!
Wu Yong and his friends would go check every now and then to see if the soldiers had left. Every time they went, they would be disappointed.
Their clothes were wet, then dry, and finally they were not wet anymore. What happened? They were almost dried up by the sun, so how could they be sweating?
When people are happy, time passes quickly. Good nights are too short!
When people are unlucky and miserable, time seems to pass very slowly!
The big sun seemed to be nailed to the sky and it didn't seem to be moving at all.
Wu Yong took out his pocket watch and looked at it from time to time. It was 3:10, 3:15, and 3:20.
Sometimes he even wondered if his watch was broken!
In this way, minute by minute, it was past five-thirty. Wu Yong dragged his tired feet to see if the soldiers had withdrawn.
In the end, the nephew still held a lantern to light the way for his uncle (old).
Wu Yong begged the soldiers
"Soldier, you can't leave on your mission. We don't blame you, but could you please give us some water? People are almost dying in there. Wouldn't it be troublesome if a few of them died of the heat?"
The soldier looked at him and sucked his teeth.
"Sir, it's not that we don't pity you, it's just that we have military orders from above. Don't blame us. When the time comes, we will withdraw and you can leave!"
Wu Yong was almost out of breath.
He took out two silver notes from his sleeve and secretly gave them to the soldier.
"Master, this is all the silver I have on me. Please be kind and let me drink some water first. I'm almost dying of thirst!"
The soldier exchanged glances with the two soldiers next to him and said,
"How about we secretly let him drink some water? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, right? Can you two just pretend you don't see it?"
The two soldiers said,
"It's not a big deal, just let him drink, we'll protect him!"
Wu Yong was so happy when he heard this that he kept thanking him.
Three soldiers brought a bucket of water and pretended to surround Wu Yong. Wu Yong lay down and drank it all.
Wow, he drank half a bucket in one breath!
