Chapter 434: Chapter 409, Pricking a Voodoo Doll_1

“War? What war? Is there going to be a battle in the north?” Daohua asked anxiously.

Yan Wenkai nodded sullenly, “These past two years, our Daxia suffered from droughts and floods. The common people have had a hard time, and the situation for those northern Tartars is even worse than ours. It seems they can’t get through this year, so they often come down south to harass our borders.”

“The first half of the year was somewhat better, just some minor skirmishes, but as winter is approaching, the frequency of battles has increased.”

Looking at her two elder brothers’ countenances, Daohua hurriedly asked, “Don’t tell me both of you are thinking of going to the north to fight?”

Yan Wenkai: “We would like to, but no one is taking us.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Daohua hit him on the shoulder, “Big brother is right, you two really don’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. Do you think you can go to the battlefield after just a few days of training in the military camp?”

“Can just anyone go to the battlefield? Do you understand that swords and spears have no eyes? Do you realize that you only have one life? Do you know how hard it was for the family to raise you?”

Yan Wenkai stubbornly retorted, “When the country is in trouble, every man is responsible.”

Daohua: “One should do only as much as one is capable of. On the battlefield, mere martial skills and passion are not enough; you also need brains.” She pointed to her head, “Brains, do you have them?”

Feeling insulted, Yan Wenkai stiffened his neck and said, “Of course we have brains.”

Daohua sneered, “If you had brains, would you have been led by some gold thieves deep into the mountains? If I hadn’t been here today, you wouldn’t have been able to deal with these gold thieves and might even have got yourselves killed. With your skills, I would be reluctant to have you work for me, let alone go to war.”

Hearing this, the five people inside the chest felt as if their own worth had been forcibly downgraded.

Seeing her two brothers unable to raise their heads, Daohua kept silent for a moment, then patiently said, “Wanting to do something for the country is a good thought, but it’s not necessary to go to war, right?”

Yan Wenkai retorted, “Then what else could we do?”

Daohua: “Didn’t you say that the soldiers lack food and clothing? You could help them gather some.”

This time, even Wentao looked dubious, “How to gather it? Would others give us anything?”

Daohua: “Don’t underestimate people’s patriotism. You have many contacts among the sons of major families, don’t you? Within what they can afford, people are certainly willing to help.”

Seeing the two deep in thought, Daohua smiled, “If you really want to do it, I’ll definitely support you. I will donate ten thousand stones of grain and ten thousand stones of medicinal herbs, how about that?”

Upon hearing this, not only Yan Wenkai and Wentao were stunned, but the five people inside the chest were also somewhat surprised.

The young lady is quite generous.

But where does she get all that from?

A dowry?

Did the Yan Family really give the dowry to the young lady to manage so early?

Yan Wenkai sarcastically said, “Big sister, you’re really wealthy and generous.”

Daohua: “It’s all money I’ve saved up bit by bit through hard work. No one’s fortune comes out of thin air, even if it’s an inheritance; that’s because someone had a hard-working ancestor.”

After a while, Daohua picked up Jing Cao, “Actually, all this is just trifling. If we could find a gold mine…”

Before she could finish, Xiaoliu’s voice came from outside.

“Miss, Third Master, Fourth Master, we’ve arrived at Taohua Village.”

Daohua handed Jing Cao to Wang Manman and directed Yan Wenkai and the other, “Third brother, Fourth brother, first move these five men to my estate.”

….

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Now that they knew the five men inside the chest were gold thieves, Yan Wenkai showed no courtesy; upon arrival at the estate, he dragged and dropped them directly onto the ground.

“Ouch!”

Although Yang Chenghua had some martial training, he was more of a scholar. Unable to hold back, he cried out in pain.

This startled everyone present.

“When did you wake up?!”

Yang Chenghua’s face stiffened, “Old man says, ‘I just woke up.’ Would you believe that?”

Daohua obviously didn’t believe him, worried that he might shout and attract the villagers’ attention, she immediately said, “Fourth brother, gag him.”

Without a second word, Yan Wenkai stuffed his handkerchief into Yang Chenghua’s mouth.

Seeing this, Yang Chenghua’s face turned iron blue from anger.
