Chapter 17 Section 2

Now let’s talk about how Xue Song had half of his ear cut off.That morning he went to the tree to pick a papaya and passed by the pond.There are also cloyingly sweet figs and buttery pineapple in this garden, but Xue Song doesn't want to eat these things, thinking that eating such fruits is harmful to moral cultivation.Hong Xian likes to eat half-baked wild plums and hawthorns that are yellow and green.These fruits were so sour that it made people mad, and Xue Song refused to eat them.After all, he likes to eat papaya.If the food is not fully cooked, it has no taste at all, even if it is fully cooked, it will only smell of raw sweet potatoes; after eating, there will still be a numb feeling in the mouth.This is the taste of the mean.I don't understand why Xue Song loves this kind of food—maybe he is pretending to love it.Anyway, he is a Jiedushi, always pretending to be serious.

This pond is the bathing place for Xue Song and Hongxian. There is also a large piece of water hyacinth in the pond, which is fed to pigs, with white flowers of yellow stamens.In addition to the water hyacinth, there is also a large pile of rubbish floating around--dead branches and leaves, rotten cloth heads and the like.This pond leads to the water channel in the village, and the garbage can come from other places.Xue Song felt disgusted, and tried to pick it out with the iron gun he carried with him.I don't know why, but that thing seems to have roots in the water, and I can't pick it up.He pulled it to the edge of the pond, bent down, and was about to pull it out with his hands; at this moment, he saw a bamboo pipe for ventilation standing upright among the garbage, and saw the dizzy underwater It seemed that there was a human body—the water in the pool was green, probably there were a lot of single-celled algae in it—he was stunned for a moment, then woke up suddenly, and reached out to pull out the iron gun stuck on the ground behind him.But it was too late, the water splashed in front of his eyes, and a person emerged from the water, the water was flowing down his face, as if made of colored glass, his cheeks were bulging, he looked very fat.The assassin sprayed water on his face first, and then gave him a "swish" knife.The water blinded Xue Song's eyes, and it was really dangerous to be hacked under such circumstances.Fortunately, the other party just got out of the water, his eyes were full of water, and he couldn't see clearly. He didn't identify his head, but only cut off half of his ear; These.Because of the cartilage in his ears, Xue Song felt a thud. Later, Xue Song rolled back, took the iron gun, and wiped off the water on his face. It was too late to settle accounts with the assassin.The man, half rolling, half crawling, half water, half land, reached the edge of the hedge, slipped into a hole, and disappeared.It is obviously futile to go to the woods to chase the enemy, because it is so densely packed that you can't even see three feet away.At this time, Xue Song leveled the big gun, his face was covered with blood and water, and he was very excited.

This excitement had nowhere to vent, so Xue Song roared.And Hongxian was chopping firewood in front of the bamboo building, when he heard Xue Song's roar in the backyard, he dropped the firewood in a hurry, and rushed over with a long knife in his hand, and let out a burst of shouts to echo Xue Song.The couple yelled and danced in the back garden, very busy for a while.Finally, the red thread asked Xue Song: Where is the person?Xue Song said stupidly: "Who is it?"The red line said: cut you that person──the person you want to cut.Xue Song said: ran away.The red line said: What are you shouting after running away, come and wrap the wound.So Xue Song and Hong Xian went back to the bamboo building and asked her to bandage the wound; only then did they find that a large part of the left ear was gone.Under such circumstances, of course it would be very painful, but Xue Song was shocked at first - no matter what, he was always the Jiedushi appointed by the imperial court and the official lord of this place.Even he dared to chop, isn't this a rebellion?

Red thread bandaged Xue Song's wound, and was very excited when he found that the ear was incomplete.This is because Xue Song is her man, and if someone cuts off a part of that man, of course it cannot be a good thing.So she kept saying: OK, cut it like this.Great.This may sound illogical at first, but you have to consider that Red Thread was originally a wild girl from the mountains, and she liked to fight.Since Xue Song was cut like this, he had to fight, so she applauded repeatedly, expressing that she was not afraid of bloodshed or war.If it is said that it is too miserable to be chopped like this, it is afraid of bloodshed and war, and brave people will never say such words.It's a pity that Xue Song didn't understand these things. When he heard Hong Xian's applause like this, he felt that she was a wolf and was very unhappy.
