Grant's Fall from Grace and Rise to Power Chapter 23

Ethan Ji and others were planning to go out and appease the people, but when they stood outside the door, the soles of their shoes were thoroughly wet. There were also some cabbage and radish heads, rotten tree roots, and dead insects floating in the water. Fortunately, the soil had not been washed away, so they could still see the bottom.

Aiden Feng's eyebrows turned into a river shape, he counted winter melons and eggplants, complaining about the heavens and the earth. Ethan Ji rolled up his trouser legs, took off his shoes and socks, and stepped into the puddle. Aiden Feng hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Xiaoxian, don't go out, the water is dirty and smelly, I'm afraid you will get rheumatism." Ethan Ji shook his hand and took the responsibility: "Your Majesty is in a delicate state, go back and rest, please come with me, Lord Gui."

Liam Gui nodded, packed up, and followed them down. Aiden Feng couldn't pull them, and stood there like a bodhisattva in a temple. Not long after Ethan Ji and Liam Gui went down, Liu Dahu came over with great vigor and asked them where they were going.

Most of the villagers were at home, and when they saw them from the windows, they all whispered to each other. Ethan Ji was thinking about how to speak, but Liam Gui suddenly asked: "Da Hu, life is hard after the flood, isn't it?" Liu Da Hu rolled up his trouser legs and said: "I am a pig butcher. I can't kill pigs without the flood, and my hands are itching. It's a sin."

Ethan Ji asked, "Da Hu, is butchering pigs hereditary?" Liu Da Hu said, "My father, mother, and brother are all scholars, and I am the only one who walks the dog, plays with monkeys, and plays with apes." Liam Gui expressed deep regret. Ethan Ji said, "Without butchers, where would we get meat to eat?"
