Chapter 320 - Those Carefree Days Of Youth (III)
People in an average household only tasted some meat during the Chinese New Year or on important days. Most would still eat the old hen raised in their own houses; they couldn’t even bear to buy pork from the markets, let alone speak of eating the tiger’s meat.
The audience from the live streaming room saw Jiang Pengji ask someone to cut the two tigers up, and they were suddenly in an uproar.
Tusiji Zhiwu: “What are you doing, streamer? If your actions took place where we are, you’d be called over for interrogation.”
Tudou Nurougaifan: “The wild animals are government protected animals. What the streamer is doing would not be settled with an interrogation alone… Perhaps you’d be subjected to death, all right? But in the era the streamer is in, one hunts based on ability. You can eat what you love; there’s no issue.”
Laosiji Lianmeng: “Hahaha, are you criticizing that the streamer does not like animals? She does not like humans. If you provoke her, she may bring a head before your eyes.”
Nongfu Shanquan Youdianxuan: “You are just a group of keyboard warriors who feel indignant at injustice, that’s all. Haven’t you seen that the streamer was too lazy to bother with them all these years? The more you care, the angrier you’ll get. To care about them, on the contrary, means you are giving them face. To put it bluntly, if the streamer was not separated from them by dimensions, but within the same universe, they would not dare to insult her from the keyboard. Even if they were given a chance to see her face to face, they wouldn’t even dare to fart.”
Shitang Dama: “Totally a group of imbeciles, using their own narrow perspective to judge people from another world. Are they sick? Didn’t you hear the streamer explain it so well? These two tigers ate many people and caused harm. The streamer killed them to save lives. As for skinning them and selling their meat––are the chicken and duck meat that you eat every day vegetarian? This is truly an overflowing love that has no room to spill.”
Wode Qianbaone: “If you have time to insult, why don’t you turn your head to find out what fur clothing is? You are a group of holier than thou people.”
After the previous audience member sent his message, there came a wave of insults and others who blindly followed the crowd.
In the dimension of Hua country, where the audience members were in, if dogmeat was eaten at a certain location, they would be judged and insulted… Let alone the streamer who hunted and killed tigers, skinned them, and then openly dismembered their corpses for people to eat for dinner.
It was cruel and heartless!
Yishuang Zhukuaizi: “I can’t look at this anymore. I have never seen such a cruel executioner. Hunting for animals… Do you even have a heart?!”
Dongwu Baohuxiehui: “Skinning the tigers… Ai, so cruel. Doesn’t the country advocate that if there’s no supply, there is no killing? How could this dog eating streaming room have been in operation for such a long time without being 404 censored? I have submitted a complaint. No thanks!”
Yichuan Daputao: “There will be retribution for mercilessly killing animals! I hope that the streamer’s whole family dies suddenly, that her son is a eunuch, and her daughter is a prostitute!”
Zhubo Shizhu: “Worse than beasts… This rubbish streamer should just go die!”
Zhubo Shilaji: “Go and die!!! Go and die!!! Go and die!!!”
The verbal abuse was relatively mild. There were worse ones that referred to eighteen generations of ancestors––those were extremely unsightly.
Jiang Pengji couldn’t be bothered; moreover, she did not rebut.
As wisely advised by the audience in the streaming room, the more one bothered with those clowns, the more they would jump.
Jiang Pengji always dealt with matters calmly. More accurately, her brain did not retain messages whose value was worse off than rubbish. However, the fans who supported her did not let others off easy. They started a war to scold others directly in the streaming room, forming a team of wild fighting.
She had a very good attitude, according to the audience who had emotionally followed her livestream for three years.
Baishi Kele: “I suddenly have deep respect for the streamer’s emotional stability. Cyber bullying is becoming more prevalent. Many prominent public figures develop depression because of public opinion and pressure. The streamer was cursed by keyboard warriors for about three years and yet you still have such a good attitude.”
Jiang Pengji was using lotus to wrap the meat up, distributing it to the people who came to see the commotion. She caught a glimpse of the bullet screen out of the corner of her eye and suddenly laughed.
Streamer V: “It is not that my attitude is good… The truth is that I have a bad temper. I did not rebut because they have not completely evolved. Why should I care about things that are neither human nor living? The correct way to solve this is to just forget it. Don’t bother so much.”
It was precisely because they were of a different dimension. If they were face to face, who would dare to be verbally rude to her? She could beat them into a pulp until their whole family called for their father!
Naturally, based on Jiang Pengji arrogant nature, she directly hit the audience’s sensitive spot. They wished they could be in the livestream room for 24 hours, and they used many bombastic words to ask her.
Jiang Pengji calmly split the meat decisively, to the extent that the bones were given to the people to boil soup at home. She never diverted any of her attention to them. As for the two whole and perfect tiger skins, she brought them home with her.
Carrying the tiger skin on the horseback, she rode White leisurely back home.
She bought a small courtyard with two entrances at Langye, situated very near Langye academy, so that it was convenient to go to school or visit relatives and friends.
“Langjun is back.”
Just as she walked to the door, the front door opened. A person wearing a grey sackcloth walked out of the door.
After passing the reins to the gatekeeper, she said, “Eh, White is exhausted from the long journey today. Please feed it some fine food”
White seemed to understand what she said and snorted happily. It stretched out its head to touch her.
“Please be rest assured, Langjun. Your servant will get it done.”
“Yes. As for these two tigers’ skins, please find a skilful and exquisite craftsman to settle them. I wish to give them to my sister as a dowry.”
The tiger skin wasn’t costly, but the two pieces of tiger skin that Jiang Pengji skinned were perfect. The colors were vibrant, and they were honestly hard to come by.
Even if they were given to the daughter of Liu She’s concubine as a dowry, it was still presentable. If word got out that the legitimate brother cared for his sister, it would be good.
The gatekeeper heard this and valued them more. He answered readily, not daring to neglect his job.
Jiang Pengji was in a good mood, and hummed a lively folk song.
“Taxue, have you packed the luggage?”
Taxue, who was inside, came out. Her forehead was dripping sweat.
“All is ready, including the item for second niangzi.” Taxue wore a simple set of clothing. She had grown to be even more beautiful, exuding the elegance of a mature woman. “Does Langjun need a hot shower and some hot soup, since you just came back from hunting?”
“I will bathe later, no hurry.” Jiang Pengji took the handkerchief from Taxue, wiped her face, and said, “Wuma Jun has gained recognition by the head servant. He has become the favorite son, second only to the Crown prince. The court is observing intently. My sister will marry him as his legitimate wife, and the Liu family cannot be complacent. The dowry does not have to be lavish, but it cannot be a joke…”
The dowries of ancient ladies were assembled since the time of their birth, but the second niangzi’s biological mother was just a lowly concubine… What possessions did she have? The Second Lady opened the storeroom in the manor and chose many fine items for the daughter of the concubine, but many other bulky items were required to be sourced from elsewhere.
