Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 270 The Stable Boy Transforms into a General

"You're talking nonsense! You didn't accompany the master out today, and he hasn't even come back yet. How could these snacks be a reward from the master?"

"It was a gift from the master yesterday. He saw that I hadn't eaten, so he gave me some snacks."

"The master gave you some snacks yesterday, and you didn't eat them? You went to the kitchen to eat instead? Who would believe that?"

Who would leave delicious snacks out to eat cold rice in the kitchen?

Everyone doesn't believe it.

"It's true, it really was a gift from the master. If you don't believe me, you can ask the master. Butler, you saw the master bring back some snacks yesterday, didn't you?"

When Xiao Ma saw that no one believed him, he remembered that the butler had seen him when he returned yesterday.

The housekeeper can vouch for me, right?

Yesterday, the butler did see the master bring back a bag of pastries.

However, Xiao Ma did not see that the snacks in his hand were given to him by the master.

It's possible that Xiao Ma stole it.

"I will consult with the master before making a decision on this matter. Now continue the caning."

The guard brought down the board.

one more time.

The butler originally said he would consult the master before making a decision.

Xiao Ma thought he could prove his innocence.

He never expected to be met with caning.

The board landed on my back, catching me completely off guard.

The little horse was beaten so badly that it could only howl and couldn't say anything.

The shouting soon stopped.

Only muffled groans and gasps could be heard.

After thirty strokes of the cane, Xiao Ma's back was covered in blood.

After the beating was finished, the steward left with the guards.

After watching the spectacle, the others quickly left as well.

Everyone should do their job. Xiao Ma was punished for dereliction of duty, and they must not repeat the same mistake.

Old Ma glanced at Little Ma lying on the ground, barely alive, in the crowd.

No one stepped forward to help Xiao Ma back to his room.

No one even thought of finding a doctor to examine Xiao Ma's injuries.

Old Ma remembered the last time Xiao Ma was beaten, it was he who carried Xiao Ma back to his room.

It was he who went to find a doctor to treat Xiao Ma.

What did Little Horse give him in return?

Old Ma looked down at his feet.

This foot is broken.

The bones were crushed.

Even if he recovers now, he'll still be a cripple.

He's a cripple, he can't carry the pony anymore.

Old Ma glanced at Little Ma lying on the ground, then turned and left.

It wasn't until the other two grooms returned that they discovered the pony lying on the ground.

The two thought that Xiao Ma was already dead.

I tentatively went over to check, and it was still breathing.

However, it also means more air is being expelled and less air is being taken in.

The two exchanged a glance.

Although we don't know what happened, we can't just leave people here like this.

After spending the night like this, Little Horse turned into a corpse.

It's not a good idea to die in front of the stables.

Moreover, they also have to take care of the horses, and with all this coming and going, the ponies lying there are getting in the way.

The two men took Xiao Ma back to his room and put him on the bed.

Then I went to inquire and found out what was wrong with Xiao Ma.

After learning that Xiao Ma had made a mistake and had been given thirty lashes by the butler.

The two decided to leave Pony alone.

Since no one cares whether he lives or dies, they shouldn't meddle in his business either.

They're new here, so it's better for them to follow the lead of the group.

Furthermore, Xiao Ma also has a suspected charge of theft.

They might be kicked out of the mansion soon.

They definitely can't get too close to Pony.

It's easy to get yourself into trouble.

The steward reported today's events to Father Jiang.

Father Jiang didn't say anything after hearing this.

He was just a servant, a stable boy.

They haven't been at your residence for very long.

Moreover, they had made mistakes before.

If it weren't for Lao Ma pleading on his behalf, they would have kicked him out on the spot.

Throughout my career, I've neither achieved anything remarkable nor made any significant mistakes.

As for the snacks, Father Jiang didn't remember much about them either.

I probably did just casually give them something as a reward.

He didn't know whether it was a snack or something else.

Moreover, since they had neglected Tao'er and He'er today, Father Jiang was even less willing to care about their lives.

If this one is gone, there will be another one.

Father Jiang thought the groom they had arranged for today was quite good.

She's quite adept at handling things.

The carriage was furnished quite comfortably.

Father Jiang instructed the steward to find two more grooms.

The stables also need to be expanded.

As for Xiao Ma, once he died, we'll just bury him somewhere.

If we survive, we can just deal with the rest easily.

If they admit their mistake, just assign them any menial task.

If they don't change their ways and cause trouble again, just throw them out.

The steward understood Jiang's father's attitude and went to the stables to check if the foal was still alive.

Some people couldn't withstand the thirty strokes of the cane and died.

The guards struck with full force, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Judging from the way Xiao Ma was beaten, with his skin torn and his back covered in blood, you could tell that the injury was serious.

But Xiao Ma was lucky; he survived.

However, the injury was quite severe.

The other two grooms also came over to ask for instructions when they saw the steward arrive.

The steward told the two men to keep up the good work, and that they would be in charge of the stables from now on.

We'll find more people later, and the stables will be expanded.

The master and mistress were both very pleased with the two of them today.

Continue to maintain this level.

If you do a good job, you'll be rewarded handsomely.

As for Xiao Ma, he'll stay here for now.

He will move the person away later.

If Xiao Ma needs anything, we can ask them for help; they can lend a hand.

Of course, the work in the stables is the most important.

The two understood what the butler meant.

This pony won't stay in the stable any longer.

Even if the injury heals, they will be sent elsewhere.

The steward entrusted them with an important task, putting them in charge of the stables from then on.

And if Xiao Ma pays them to run an errand or call a doctor, they can help.

Xiao Ma has already been punished for his previous mistake, so that's the end of it.

They won't be implicated just because they're close to Xiao Ma.

Of course, if they focus on the stables and don't have time to take care of the ponies, it's not a big deal.

This means that whatever happens to Xiao Ma is up to fate.

Having received a reminder from the steward, the two focused all their attention on the stables.

That Marco is much more important than Little Horse.

The housekeeper asked someone from the kitchen to send Xiao Ma some food.

After all, it's inconvenient when someone is injured.

The kitchen staff readily agreed.

They're very familiar with delivering meals.

Xiao Ma had previously considered reporting them.

They will definitely take good care of Little Horse.

They have received the news.

The master didn't care about Xiao Ma's life or death.

If someone dies, they are buried immediately.

But the little horse was lucky; it survived.

Even if he survives, once he recovers, this little horse will only be able to do odd jobs.

If even their masters don't care, then they'll show him some mercy and take care of him.

That evening, the kitchen staff brought food to Xiao Ma's room.

"Little Horse, wake up, Little Horse, it's time to eat."

Little Ma slowly woke up.

My first reaction was, "It hurts so much!"

Little Horse could feel that he was in a lot of pain.

Even moving a finger is difficult.

I feel like I'm about to die.

"Xiao Ma, we've brought you your food. Get up and have some."

Little Ma is awake.

Upon hearing this sound, Xiao Ma turned his head despite the pain.

It was him, really him.

This is the person; he's the one who brought him the food yesterday.

Although there is no evidence to prove that they drugged them.

But Xiao Ma trusted his own judgment.

It must have been him, or rather, them, who tampered with the food.

And today, he's the one who accused him of stealing.

Now they're back.

Delivering food? Haha.

This time, Xiao Ma will not believe that they are really so kind.

A bunch of hypocrites.

"Get out of here! Are you all here to laugh at me? Get out! All of you, get out!"

Xiao Ma said through gritted teeth.

Unfortunately, his voice was very soft and weak, and his words had no intimidating power whatsoever.

Several people listened to Xiao Ma's words and sneered.

"Get out? We're not going to get out. What can you do about it?"

To tell you the truth, we drugged your food before.

How was it? Did the laxative taste good? Hahaha.

But what good will it do you if you know?

You have no evidence.

What can you do to us?

If you tell anyone, no one will believe you.

Do you see anyone believing what you say today?

Look at this skin torn and bleeding; those thirty strokes of the cane must have hurt terribly.

The group mocked Xiao Ma without restraint.

As Xiao Ma listened to their laughter, he felt his vision blurring in waves.

It really was them, it really was them.

Those despicable guys.

Xiao Ma glared at everyone with hatred.

The group was startled by Xiao Ma's fierce gaze.

"What kind of look are you giving me? Look at me again and I'll gouge your eyes out."

I don't want to see Xiao Ma's eyes; those eyes make my heart race.

He grabbed a piece of cloth and threw it over Xiao Ma's face to cover his eyes.

The group took out the food they had brought.

This food has some really good stuff in it.

The housekeeper originally asked them to deliver food to Xiao Ma.

They wanted to do what they did before: deliberately feed the pony some spoiled food.

After all, they only had that much laxative, and they'd used it all up.

However, they found some medicine packets on the kitchen table.

Inside were various powders, and the effects of the powders were written on the outside.

Diarrhea, abdominal pain, redness and swelling, itching, headache...

Various symptoms that look like they are very distressing.

They didn't see who put the powder there.

Maybe they're like them, people who hate ponies.

That's why I prepared these things specifically.

Perhaps not wanting people to know what was inside, they ground it all into powder.

However, this is also more convenient for them.

They can add it directly to their food.

Moreover, destroying evidence is very easy; just burn the outer paper.

Today they specifically added itching powder.

Let the little horse experience the unbearable itch; it's hard to tell whether the pain of the wound is more painful or the itch is more unbearable.

The men held the pony down and, as before, forced food into its mouth.

They had promised the housekeeper that they would deliver food to Pony on time every day.

This food must be eaten completely, not a single grain left.

However, the food tasted normal today, without any obvious rancid smell.

Little Ma just ate it directly.

They won't give up until they achieve their goal.

Even if he doesn't eat, they will force him to eat.

Just like before.

So the little horse didn't put up much resistance.

He ate it after I fed it to him.

At least the food tasted pretty good today.

Moreover, he hasn't eaten anything all day. If he doesn't eat, he'll really starve to death.

Little Horse swallowed the last mouthful of rice.

Before I could even catch my breath, I felt an unbearable itch all over my body.

My hands and feet are so itchy.

My head is so itchy, my face is so itchy, my neck is so itchy, my whole body is so itchy.

It's so itchy, so itchy.

However, I also have an injury on my back, and any movement will aggravate the wound, causing me great pain.

But when the itching kicks in, it becomes even more unbearable.

Only when the pain is intense can the itching be suppressed.

Little Ma slowly reached out and grabbed his hair, as if he wanted to rip it all out.

My scalp is about to be scratched raw.

And my face, even though there's nothing there, is still so itchy.

Other parts of my body are also very itchy, and I can only relieve it by unconsciously rubbing my body.

Use pain to counteract the itch.

"What did you put in the food? What exactly did you feed me?"

"It itches so much, it itches so much, it's killing me!"

The cloth covering his face had long been removed, and Xiao Ma looked at the group.

Everyone had a gloating expression on their face.

Tell him plainly that they were the ones who did it.

What did they feed him that made him so itchy?

Of course, the others wouldn't tell Xiao Ma.

Enjoy the pony's pained expression.

I don't know who left this powder, but it looks very effective.

The thought of various other medicinal powders with different effects makes it even more anticipated.

I can't wait to let Xiao Ma try it out.

The pain could be endured by gritting one's teeth, but the itching was absolutely unbearable.

Xiao Ma was only freed from that torment when he had broken his head and was bleeding from all ten fingernails on both hands.

Now all I feel is pain; the itching is gone.

The people in the kitchen looked at Xiao Ma's bloody and mangled body, and saw someone lying motionless in a pool of blood. Could he be dead?

They'd only used one kind of powder, they hadn't even had their fill of fun yet, and it would be too easy for him to die like this.

The group tested it and found that the person was still breathing.

But I might not be able to make it through the night looking like this.

The group exchanged glances and began searching through Xiao Ma's room.

Finally, they found the copper coin in a box under the bed.

This little horse has saved up quite a bit of money.

This is how they save up all their monthly allowance.

The group took Xiao Ma's money and went to find him a doctor.

The housekeeper was surprised that the group not only brought food to Xiao Ma, but also called a doctor for him. That was really kind of them.

Today, Xiao Ma said that they drugged him and harmed him, but they still went to get a doctor to treat him despite their past grievances.

The doctor arrived, but seeing that there wasn't a single unscathed spot on Xiao Ma's body, he didn't know where to begin.

With injuries like that, how can a person survive?

But Little Horse is indeed alive.

The little horse was still wearing its clothes, which were torn and stuck in its wounds.

The doctor used scissors to cut open all the clothes.

Start cleaning the wound, applying medicine, and bandaging it.

Every step hurt the little horse.

But it gave Xiao Ma a sense of pleasure.

Finally, Xiao Ma's entire body was wrapped in bandages.

Only the mouth and nose are visible; the eyes are exposed.

The doctor gave some instructions and then left.

It's been quite late here, and the kitchen staff have gone to rest. They still have to get up early to make breakfast.

That's all for today. See you tomorrow.
