At the same time, the county seat.

Xu Tongdao in front of the oven was still calmly grilling the skewers in his hands, full of aroma, and the dozen or so tables behind him were full of diners, very lively.

On the other side of the road, a six or seven-year-old boy ran over excitedly, handed him two yuan, and said excitedly: "Boss, boss! I buy two yuan of mutton skewers, can you hurry up and give it to me?"

Xu Tongdao raised his eyes to look at this kid, and recognized that this little guy was the son of the couple in the tailor shop opposite, he had been setting up a stall here for more than a month, although he usually didn't have much to do with the nearby shopkeepers, but some common people still had some impressions.

"Oh, yes, I'll give it to you!"

Xu Tongdao took the money with a smile, and then counted some of the lamb skewers grilled in his hand to the little guy in front of him.

"Thank you boss!"

The little boy grinned and showed a gap in his front teeth, which had recently been changing.

"No thanks, when crossing the street, be careful of the car!"

Xu Tongdao smiled and advised.

The little boy said yes and ran happily across the road.

Xu Tongdao saw him cross the road before he withdrew his gaze.

Anyone who watches this scene will think that this young man is good and caring.

But......

When the next morning, after the news that Xu Hengbing had broken one of his legs last night spread in Xujia Village, many people were surprised, and no one thought that Xu Tongdao was caring.

"Hey, you say, Xiaobing's leg, is it really Xiaodao's kid who was looking for someone to break it?"

"I heard that it was a man wearing a hat on a big night who beat him, and he put the soldier down in two strokes, and then grabbed a stool and broke his right leg, tsk, it was too ruthless......!

"Yes, yes, I also heard what Jin Shan said! Jin Shan and Xiao Bing were gambling in Baiwan last night, and I saw it with my own eyes, Jin Shan said that it was not the kid from Xiaodao who beat people!"

"Heh, if it wasn't Xiaodao himself, wouldn't it be the person he was looking for to fight?"

"Hey, I remember that Xiaodao shot that day to break Xiaobing's hand, if it was the person he was looking for this time, how, how did he hit the leg?"

"Hehe, it's not easy? I guess he just wanted to break one of the soldier's hands, but who let the soldier run away that day! It probably made him even more angry, so he just found someone to break his leg......

......

Early in the morning, Ge Yuzhu carried a basin of change of clothes, approached the small river flowing in the middle of the village, and when she was about to go to the laundry, she overheard several women of different ages washing clothes by the river.

For a moment, the women who were washing clothes with their backs to her did not see her.

Ge Yuzhu's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously stood under a willow tree, hiding behind the tree, listening to what the women were chatting.

The more she listened, the tighter her brow furrowed.

After a few moments, she turned around and hurried home.

Mother Ge Xiaozhu was holding a gourd scoop in her hand, and there was some rice in the scoop, and she was grabbing it one by one and spilling it on the ground to feed the chickens.

Hearing a sound of footsteps, she subconsciously looked up, and saw that it was her daughter who had just gone to wash her clothes running back panting, Ge Xiaozhu's feeding action in her hand stopped, frowned and asked, "Yuzhu, why did you come back so soon?"

In these days, people in the countryside have to beat their clothes with hammers when washing clothes.

Whisk out the dirty water from your clothes.

"No! No, Mom, I just went to the river, do you know what I heard?"

Ge Yuzhu stood up breathlessly and said eagerly.

Without waiting for the frowning Ge Xiaozhu to ask, Ge Yuzhu revealed the answer, "Mom! I heard from Yuya's mother...... Soldier...... It was Xu Hengbing's leg that was broken last night, and Yuya's mother suspected that my eldest brother was looking for someone to beat him, Mom! You said this can't be true, right? If this is true, what can I do? Big, big brother, he won't have an accident, right?"

"What? What you said is true?" Ge Xiaozhu's face changed, and he was a little flustered for a while.

And Xu Tonglu was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall at this time, and he heard what his sister Ge Yuzhu had just said at the door, and the chopsticks in his hand also stopped, and he raised his head slightly and turned his face to look at his sister outside the door.

His expression was also full of surprise.

After a moment of silence, he put down his chopsticks and got up and walked towards the door.

As he walked, he asked, "Yuzhu, did anyone see that the eldest brother shot at it?"

Ge Yuzhu frowned and recalled, shook his head, and said: "No! No, Second brother, I just heard them say that the person who broke one of Xu Hengbing's legs last night was not our eldest brother! By the way, I also heard them say that when Xu Hengbing's leg was broken last night, he and Xu Jinshan happened to be gambling together, Xu Jinshan said that it was not our eldest brother, but just now Yuya's mother and many of them suspected that our eldest brother was looking for someone to beat him......

"This ...... This...... This can't be true, right? Xiaodao shouldn't be so ruthless...... However, if he hadn't found someone to fight, Xu Hengbing would have broken his leg at this time...... This is too coincidental...... "Ge Xiaozhu was so anxious that he didn't have the heart to feed the chickens.

Compared with her panic and Ge Yuzhu's uneasiness, Xu Tonglu, who was only 16 years old, was much calmer, and he happened to walk to the gate at this time.

Stopping, he frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly looked up and said to his mother and sister: "Mom! Yuzhu! Don't panic! Since someone saw that it was not our eldest brother's hand, then we can't admit it regardless of whether the eldest brother asked someone to do it! In short, no matter who asks you, you must deny it! You must never admit it! You know?"

"This ......"

Ge Xiaozhu's eyes rolled, and he nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, absolutely can't admit it!

As she spoke, she also calmed down a little, looked at her daughter Ge Yuzhu, and lowered her voice and admonished: "Yuzhu!

Ge Yuzhu nodded vigorously again and again.

Xu Tonglu raised his chin slightly, looked in the direction of Xu Hengbing's house, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes seemed to be quite relieved.

Ge Xiaozhu suddenly looked at him and urged: "Hey, Xiaolu, don't you still have to go to school?

Then he looked at his daughter again, "And you Yuzhu, you also hurry up and wash your clothes, and you can ride your second brother to school in a while!

"Whoa!"

Ge Yuzhu hurriedly went to the river again.

Xu Tonglu also hummed and went back to the Eight Immortals Table.

Although he has a broken arm, he can still go to school, but he can't write his homework recently.

......

Early in the morning of the same day.

Xu Tongdao, Xu Tonglin, and Xi Dongyang came to the vegetable market to buy vegetables together, and when they entered the vegetable market, Xu Tongdao saw Zheng Qing sitting in black clothes and black pants drinking porridge and eating steamed buns in a breakfast shop on the left.

When he saw Zheng Qing, Zheng Qing also saw him.

Xu Tongdao didn't walk over to say hello, and Zheng Qing didn't come over to say hello, but just gave Xu Tongdao a smile and quietly gave him a scissor hand.

Xu Tongdao saw it and smiled back.

The expressions of both of them were as calm as those of Lao Yinbi.
