The second brother was unhappy and was thinking about how to vent his anger.

I haven't had much contact with this person, but I heard that he has a bad temper. He is so old and still single, so how can his temper be very good? He is as angry as if he had eaten explosives when he said a word to me. I will say the same thing to him if you just look at him. And he is also a cheapskate.

What is he doing with so much of this stuff? Is he eating it for himself? But people say that one person can only take one pill. All medicines are poisonous, so there is no need to worry about getting sick if you eat too much.

This guy has a very bad temper. If he was a pushover, he would just go find the bailiff and tell him that this guy is queuing up again.

It’s a bit difficult to deal with now. If he knew that I was the one who reported it, I would probably get into trouble.

It would be best to let someone else take the initiative so that you can vent your anger without anyone noticing.

When I saw a half-broken stick hidden in the grass on the ground, I suddenly had an idea.

Half squatted down and looked over there.

The man noticed that he was behaving strangely and didn't know what he was looking at, so he followed the second brother's line of sight.

It's blocked and I can't see anything.

The second brother picked up a thin stick at some point and poked the ground tentatively.

There was another person queuing behind that person. Seeing the second brother like this, he also watched attentively. After all, there was nothing else to do and it would be boring to just queue.

The man had originally decided not to look at it anymore, but the second brother kept poking it here and there with a thin wooden stick, which really made him feel itchy and as if he had to look at it.

I heard someone behind me whisper, "Oh, it can't be a snake."

The man hugged his arms and took a few steps back. Who wouldn't be afraid of something slippery and cold?

The second brother glanced back and saw that the man had taken the bait.

A smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly he jumped up, threw the thin wooden stick aside with trembling hands, covered his chest and gasped.

The second one didn't scream, but the person at the end of the line was startled by him and screamed, "Ah~"

The man was startled again by the scream, and he did the same thing as the second brother, covering his chest and gasping for breath.

The people in front all turned their heads and stared over here.

The second brother saw that so many people were looking at him, and he thought that someone would notice that the person behind him had queued twice.

He moved to the side again, making sure they all saw it, before coming out to explain.

"It's okay, it's okay, I thought it was a snake, but I was wrong."

The last person in line said loudly, "I'm glad you're okay. I was really scared."

The man didn't dare to say a word and kept hiding behind the second brother, afraid that others would see him, but it was of no avail.

"Look, does that person look familiar?"

"Hey, it seems so. Did he get the medicine just now?"

"Yeah, otherwise why would he hide?"

"You actually want to get the medicine again and take away other people's share. What kind of person is that?"

"What a calculation! He even took advantage of the county magistrate."

"Brother, there are people queuing up again over there."

The man had originally planned to stand there, but after hearing what they said to the yamen runners, he could not stay any longer, so he turned around and prepared to run away.

Others will not let him go. The second brother likes this kind of time the most, because he can stay out of it and watch the fun.

"Brother, he wants to run away, we can't let him get away like this. What if he lines up again next time and no one finds him?"

The bailiff stopped distributing medicine and walked towards the man with the medicine box, ready to scold him. If he didn't teach him a lesson, there was no guarantee that he would do such a thing again in the future.

When the man saw the yamen runners coming, he was very scared. Although he had a bad temper, he was really frightened when he saw the official.

The second brother felt that he was really amazing. He didn't directly point out that the other person was queuing repeatedly, so he wouldn't hold a grudge against him. He was able to drive the person away and watch the fun at the same time. Who could be as smart as him? No one here could catch up with him, not even the eldest brother if he was here.

Seeing that person being scolded by the bailiff, his face changed from red to white, and finally he fled in panic.

Finally, the team returned to its previous state and everyone lined up there quietly.

The second one was a little impatient. He stood there sideways and shook his legs, wondering why it wasn't his turn yet, when it should have been quick.

There are finally fewer people in front of me, and it's almost my turn. I feel relieved, thinking there should be more seats and it won't be the end of the line before my turn. I look back and there are also dozens of people, so there won't be any problem.

I took my own and the old lady’s and thought about going back.

Suddenly I heard a plop and when I turned around I saw someone had fainted.

The second brother was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. The pills in his hand almost dropped to the ground. He hoped that he would not have contracted the disease. He was so close to him just now, what would he do if he was infected.

I saw several yamen runners coming and carrying the person away. Although this was not the first time I had seen such a scene, it was the first time I had seen it so close. I wondered if my turn would be the next one.

I quickly stuffed a pill into my mouth, hoping that it would work as they said, and that I wouldn't get sick easily after taking it.

Now I can understand how that person felt just now. I really want to eat a few more to keep myself healthy.

Holding the other pill in his hand, he looked at it again and again. He was a little reluctant to give it to his mother. It would be better if he took it himself. Anyway, his mother was old, and it would probably be useless to give it to her. At this age, she was prone to illness. If she really got an epidemic, she probably wouldn't be able to recover. It would be better to...

But the yamen runner said that a person can only eat one pill and not more. Wouldn’t it be bad if he ate too much?

As he was standing there struggling, he heard the old lady's roar, "Second brother, come back to me quickly."

The old lady had to stretch her neck to barely see the second brother who was standing there in a daze.

How could he not know his own son's little thoughts? He could be seen calculating whether to take the pill or not.

The old lady was very worried, afraid that he would swallow it all in one gulp, so she thought of asking the eldest son to pick him up so that she could be on guard. "Old man~"

The eldest brother was watching the fun there. When he heard his mother's voice, he felt annoyed. Why did it never end every day? She just kept ordering people around. He didn't know what was going on this time.

Without turning his head, he asked directly: "Mom, what's the matter?"

Seeing his attitude, the old lady rolled her eyes several times at the eldest son's back and said nothing. She felt a little anxious, wondering why he didn't come over to ask what was going on. What if the second son had taken the pill?

The eldest son felt something was wrong. Why didn't his mother say anything? Did he do something wrong that made her unhappy?

He quickly walked over to her side and said, "If you need anything, just tell me."

The old lady was still not satisfied, but getting her things back was more important now.
