[Chapter 10 - The brazen evildoer!] As expected, you"re sick of living!

"Talk to mother properly . " Lady Shen is very insistent, "Just what did he do to you?"
He didn"t actually do anything . . . . Shen Qian Ling thought carefully, it"s just that he was carried up the tree by force, and nothing else . But at this kind of moment, only an idiot will say the truth, and so Shen Qian Ling, teary eyed, didn"t say anything, an expression of grievance on his face .

Lady Shen"s heart immediately shattered into pieces, turning around and slapping Shen Qian Feng on the head .

Shen Qian Ling: " . . . . . . . . . . "
This, mother, are your eyes not too good, you hit the wrong person .  

Shen Qian Feng was greatly shocked, "What does this have to do with me?"
"You dare to talk back?" Lady Shen raised her eyebrows .
Shen Qian Feng immediately replied, "I don"t dare . "

"You"re with Shao Yu everyday, and yet you don"t know to teach him some good things!" Lady Shen said angrily, "Let"s forget about this time, but if Ling-er is bullied by him again next time, you will go and kneel in the ancestral hall and copy their teachings three hundred times!"

Shen Qian Ling glanced at his big brother with endless pity .  

"Why does mother not go and punish Shao Yu?" Shen Qian Feng tried to divert the misfortune, "He is also considered half a son of the Shen family . " 

"If he"s punished now, what can be done when Ling-er is mistreated when he"s married over in the future?" Lady Shen asked him back, "If you"re willing to be part of the dowry, then I"ll think about it . "

Shen Qian Feng was successfully rendered speechless, and could only accept reality, "I"ll find a chance to remind Shao Yu to pay attention later . "

"Find a chance later?" Lady Shen glared at him, "Go now, I have something to say to Ling-er alone . "

First young master Shen could only take Bao Dou with him out the door .  

"What does mother want to talk about?" Shen Qian Ling is curious .  
Lady Shen closed the door, her expression strict .

Shen Qian Ling immediately got anxious, and even a little excited, could it be a big thing?
Treasure maps? Secret martial art books? Shocking secrets hidden in this affluent manor?

He can"t help but rub his hands excitedly when facing this kind of gossip .

In the end he heard his mother ask softly, "Did Shao Yu do anything to you?"
Shen Qian Ling fell back onto the bed .
Aaaaaahhhh it"s so irritating! 

"Talk to your mother properly . " Lady Shen pulled him up .  
"He really didn"t do anything . " Shen Qian Ling acted dumb, although there seems to be a situation with his belly, but that"s a problem left behind by his predecessor, it has nothing to do with him .  
"Then what are you crying for?" Lady Shen frowned .
His mother will not understand if he talks about trauma either, so Shen Qian Ling could only weakly say, "Because the tree is too tall . "

Lady Shen obviously doesn"t believe it, "He really didn"t do anything to you?"
"Of course not . " Shen Qian Ling"s expression is very innocent .  
Lady Shen looked directly at him for a moment, then heaved a deep sigh .  
Shen Qian Ling"s head is full of fog; if he didn"t see it wrongly, his mother"s expression just now seems to be very disappointed?

But what is there to be disappointed about with this sort of thing, shouldn"t they be celebrating that he wasn"t taken advantage of? What"s the deal with this expression of loss .
Moreover I"m not really worry about being married over .
Pei pei(1), it"s worrying about being married to .  

"Eat this . " Lady Shen didn"t ask further about this incident, and pa.s.sed him a porcelain bottle instead .  
"What is it?" Shen Qian Ling took it, and upon opening it, poured out a . . . . bigger version of maltesers .  
"Your uncle sent it over, it"s good for your body . " Lasdy Shen tidied up his hair, "Fainting without any warning, how can mother be at ease . "
Hearing the sadness in her words, Shen Qian Ling also felt a little guilty; if she finds out that this person in front of her is not her real son, she would probably be in despair .

"Quickly eat it . " Lady Shen urged him .  
Shen Qian Ling obediently swallowed it -- although weird things shouldn"t be eaten carelessly, and it is very likely to contain iron, copper and heavy metals, but eating one occasionally should be alright; moreover in exchange mother"s heart can be more at ease; this can be considered making up for it .  

The pill rapidly melted in his mouth, and certainly . . . it only looks like maltesers, it"s absolutely not sweet or fragrant; Shen Qian Ling grimaced and coughed; his entire mouth is so sour and bitter till he can"t taste anything .  

"Not nice . " He managed to say two words with much difficulty .  

"Not nice . " He managed to say two words with much difficulty .  
With this kind of taste, why is it made with the color of chocolate, the pill makers who deceive people are all not good people .  

"It"s medicine not a sweet, of course it"s not nice . " Lady Shen was amused by his frowning face, "In the future, mother will send the medicine to you every month, and remember to not let anyone else know . "
"Including father?" Shen Qian Ling is startled, it"s actually done in secret .

"The relationship between your father and your uncle has always been bad, why make a mountain out of a molehill . " Lady Shen covered him with his blanket properly, "As long as Ling-er can be healthy, mother is willing to do anything . "
Shen Qian Ling"s eyes teared up, his nose aching a little .  
So this is the feeling of having a mother to dote on you .  

"Little silly melon . " Lady Shen pinched his cheeks, "Rest now, mother will wait for you to sleep before going back . " 
Shen Qian Ling held onto her hand, and closed his eyes peacefully .  
Most likely due to the medicine, this time he fell into a deep sleep very quickly, and when he woke up it"s already the next day .

"Ke ke!" Shen Qian Ling sat up on the bed and coughed, "Bao Dou!"
"Young master, you"re awake . " Bao Dou ran in .
"What"s happening outside?" Shen Qian Ling is puzzled, "Why is it so smoky . " 
Bao Dou said, "Mistress said that second young master is tricked by a fox demon, so she found a exorcist to drive it out . "
. . . . . . . .
Shen Qian Ling silently pitied his second brother; upon opening the window he was shocked by the thick smoke, "Why is the ritual being held in our yard?"

"It"s not just this yard . " Bao Dou replied, "From the main house to the side yards, every one of them is not overlooked . "
"Everybody has no objections about this?" Shen Qian Ling is a.s.sailed till he"s overflowing with tears .
"Of course there"s objections, but since sect leader and Lady Shen didn"t say anything, the rest also do not dare to provoke mistress . " Bao Dou explained, "Sect leader and Lady Shen went out in the early morning, first young master went to train in the back of the mountain, and second young master also left in a fit of anger; now the most powerful person in the whole manor is mistress . "

Shen Qian Ling naturally will not go and be involved in other people"s business; after washing up he dragged Bao Dou out the door, intending to find somewhere quiet to hide .

"Evil sprit, withdraw and scatter!" A barefoot exorcist is currently holding a torch while jumping on one leg in the yard .  
Shen Qian Ling: " . . . . . . "

The exorcist clumsily chanted a string of incantations, then sprung forward towards Shen Qian Ling, looking directly at him!
Shen Qian Ling stared at him blankly, wide eyed .  

"Who is this evildoer!" The exorcist suddenly shouted , reaching out to grab his face .
Shen Qian Ling inhaled in a cold breath, instinctively raising his leg and kicking forward .  

"Who is this evildoer!" The exorcist suddenly shouted , reaching out to grab his face .
Shen Qian Ling inhaled in a cold breath, instinctively raising his leg and kicking forward .  
He hit three inches below the navel .  
It"s extremely accurate!

"Brazen evil creature!" The exorcist sat on the ground, waving a golden bell, his voice incomparably loud; very quickly three, four men wearing chicken feathers on their heads rushed in .  
"The soul of the demonic spirit has already attached to this person"s body, thus we should strip his clothes as soon as possible!" The exorcist ordered .  
Shen Qian Ling is alarmed and angered, are they looking for death .
"Audacious!" Bao Dou raised his eyebrows, hands on his hips, "To dare to say my household"s fourth young master is a demon, are you sick of living!"
Upon hearing the two words "young master", the exorcist stared blankly .  

Shen Qian Ling looked at him coldly, "Who did you say is a demon?" 

"You are . . . . young master Shen? I, I, I . . . . . recognized wrongly just now, please forgive me, forgive me . " The exorcist"s head is drenched in cold sweat .  

Shen Qian Ling"s expression remained cold, but inside he"s relieved, he almost thought his ident.i.ty was revealed just now .  

"Young master, how should we punish them?" Bao Dou asked .
"Forget about it, just let them get lost . " Shen Qian Ling returned to his room; to be a.s.saulted by such craziness in the early morning, it really spoils his mood .  

On the rooftop, Qin Shao Yu is looking at everything happening in the yard, an unfathomable expression in his eyes . There"s not a single anomaly every time he tried probing him, so he should have . . . really lost his memories?

"Leader . " After a group of exorcists frantically escaped from the court yard, one of them said with trepidation, "To have offended the young master of the Shen family, will something happen to us?"

"Quickly pack our things and leave, and don"t go and ask for compensation already . " Another person was also scared, Initially I thought we still could trick and get some money to spend, who knows we ended up pulling on the fur on top of the tiger"s head . " Under the heavens, there"s no one who doesn"t know that Shen Qian Ling is sect leader Shen"s lifeblood, how could they have a peaceful life after agitating him .  

"Fine, fine, the money this time I will think of ways to compensate you all . " The leader of the exorcist was also regretful; he was initially a flower thief (2) infamous in Jiang Hu, afterwards he offended too many people, and was hunted by both the righteous and unrighteous sides; he had no choice but to line his face with colored grease as a coverup and pretend to be a foreigner, going everywhere and cheating people of their money as an exorcist . As he has the gift of the gab, he even slowly got famous . When the mistress of the Shen family found him this time, he thought he had gotten a big chunk of business, who knew that once they entered the manor, they met an enthusiastic servant, dragging them around and asking them everything, and even pointed out that in the courtyard in front there lives a disgraced male concubine, he could be really possessed by a fox demon, and so they got the idea to take advantage of him, who knew that that"s actually the living treasure of the Shen family .  

"If I meet him next time, I will strip him of his skin!" After leaving the manor, the exorcist is still swearing .  
"Strip who of their skin?" A chuckle sounded from above his head .  
The moment the exorcist raised his head, a dart flew and nailed him in between his eyebrows; he lost his life immediately .  

The rest instantly paled in fright; knowing in their hearts that they met with an expert, turned around and ran for their lives . A few shadows swept out from the forest, and without even the effort of blowing dust away, captured all of them, tying them up together .

"Sect leader . " A black clothed man said in a low voice, "How should we take care of this?"
"They have gone to the extremes of raping and pillaging, throw them to the back of the mountain to feed the wolves . " Qin Shao Yu turned and walked towards the bottom of the mountain .  

"Sect leader . " A black clothed man said in a low voice, "How should we take care of this?"
"They have gone to the extremes of raping and pillaging, throw them to the back of the mountain to feed the wolves . " Qin Shao Yu turned and walked towards the bottom of the mountain .  

"Young master, are we still going out?" In the manor, Bao Dou is currently asking Shen Qian Ling .  
"Of course . " Shen Qian Ling felt that he had bad luck, and brushed his sleeves with pomelo leaves(3), "Do you know the way to the back of the mountain? We will go and find big brother . " 

"I don"t know . " Bao Dou shook his head, "First young master doesn"t usually allow other people to go to the back of the mountain . " 

"Then is there anywhere else that"s good to go?" Shen Qian Ling is vexed, he"s not familiar with this place either .  

"There"s a temple fair at the bottom of the mountain . " Bao Dou said, "but if young master wishes to go there, it"s best to cover up the face, to avoid too many people surrounding you . "

Upon hearing this Shen Qian Ling became unhappy, no matter whether it"s his past life or now he still cannot openly leave the house, what kind of hard life is this .  

And no matter what, there"s at least baseball caps and sungla.s.ses and masks in the modern times, an air of a famous celebrity can be achieved at will when paired up! And now . . . . . Shen Qian Ling held a hat with a muslin cloth hanging down around it, feeling like he"s going to cry .

"Young master?" Bao Dou waved his hand in front of him .
Shen Qian Ling could only wear the hat, a feeling of being a bogus lady instantly emerging in his heart .  
There"s even gold thread embedded in it!

"I used to go out like this?" Walking on to the mountain path, Shen Qian Ling couldn"t stand it anymore and asked .  

"Yes . " Bao Dou nodded, "There"s still many other colors, they all look good . "

The corners of Shen Qian Ling"s mouth spasmed .
He will go out less in the future .

(1) Pei pei: 呸呸 - sound of spitting, usually used to signify chasing away of bad luck . Like "touch wood" .  
(2) flower thief: 采花贼 - lit . taking flower thief, means rapist .  
(3) pomelo leaves: said to chase away bad luck when used . Can be used while bathing too .
