On the night of the end of the retreat, Huo Zongtang, Bai Xiaolong, and Zhu Bajiao drank outside again.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Huo Zongtang was very strange to find that many of the students around him looked very strange.

Some of them changed their faces, whispered and then quickly paid their bills and left.

Some are peeking throughout the whole process, and have been whispering and pointing fingers.

There are also a few tables that either invite them to eat two catties of beef for no reason, or invite them to eat grilled chicken wings for no reason.

There are also one or two tables, which seem to be seniors in the second and third grades, who actually put down the shelves, took the initiative to come over to toast, and when they left, they also deliberately paid for them to buy an extra case of beer!

All night, they sat there eating and drinking, and in the end they didn't have to spend a penny, it was all the money that the people around them were fighting for!

Huo Zongtang was a little surprised, while Zhu Bajiao and Bai Xiaolong seemed to have long been accustomed to this.

When the people around him finally dispersed, Huo Zongtang secretly asked this question.

Zhu Bajiao said nonchalantly: "It's not because my brother is good-looking, has infinite charm, and his classmates worship him infinitely, so he ......"

"Shut up! You eat yours! Xiaolong, you come and talk about people, seriously! ”

Bai Xiaolong put down the beer in his hand, glanced at Zhu Bajiao innocently, and said, "Oh, Brother Zongtang, it's like this. When you were in retreat, the headmaster always forced the two of us to go out and earn our reputations. After a month of hard work, we have challenged a total of ...... South Shore Middle School, New World Academy, No. 1 Middle School, No. 4 Middle School, five or six schools, Brother Eight Mustard fought with them, I fought with them, and in a month, we won more than a dozen games in a row. ”

"There are sixteen second- and third-grade seniors, because they said that Brother Eight Mustard is not handsome enough, they were knocked out alive by him with the Soul Superpower, and one of them was too damaged in the mouth, and he was beaten from the sixth stage to the fifth stage. Well, I've met more than a dozen opponents, and they beat me very well during the war, but now they're all lying in the hospital to pick up bones. So now the schools in the district, no one dares to mess with us anymore. ”

Huo Zongtang: "......"

Zhu Bajiao continued: "When you taught the grandsons of the elite class today, the two of us were still outside to brush up the prestige of Zhenwu, and we rushed back as soon as we heard the news. But you kid is too ruthless, you can crush the entire elite class into slag by yourself, cruel, Li Yanbai's face is swollen by you! ”

Bai Xiaolong smiled and said, "Brother Zongtang, they have given us a nickname now, which is very good." ”

"Oh?" Huo Zongtang asked with great interest: "What's it called, let's hear it?" ”

"It's called 'The Three Wicked Men of True Martial Arts.'"

"Poof!" Huo Zongtang almost sprayed. "Is this kind of broken nickname good? When others hear it, they won't think that we are so vicious as to eat human flesh, right? ”

Hearing this name, Huo Zongtang was very painful, and couldn't help but think of the "full of evil" in Jin Yong's novel - the four evildoers. I didn't expect the prestige to be brushed up, but why does it feel so strange?

But it's also said that Huo Zongtang, Zhu Bajiao, Bai Xiaolong, none of them are good at stubble, and which one of them is not stained with the history of blood and tears that many people can't look back on?

He finally understood why the people around him looked so weird, it turned out that it was because his heart was mixed with a variety of complex psychology such as respect, fear, worship, and vigilance for the three of them.

Regardless of whether this nickname is inappropriate, the only thing that is certain is that with the increase in strength, their status in the rivers and lakes has also risen, and it has far surpassed the scope of first-year students. Even many second- and third-grade seniors have to begin to face up to their status.

Think about it, the nicknames of the three of them, from the beginning of the "Three Wonderful True Martial Arts", to the "Wonderful Three Heroes", and then to the "Three Evil Men of True Martial Arts", the changes along the way are getting taller and taller, and more and more domineering? The change in nicknames reflects the improvement of hard power and status.

At the end of the day, everyone was a little drunk.

At this time, Zhu Bajie told Huo Zongtang another piece of news: The principal has issued an order, if Huo Zongtang wants to complete high school in one year and take the college entrance examination next year, then Zhu Bajiao and Bai Xiaolong must also keep pace with him!

In other words, if Huo Zongtang wants to skip two levels in advance of the college entrance examination next year, Zhu Bajiao and Bai Xiaolong must also accompany him!

Huo Zongtang was stunned for a long time and said, "Did he really say that?" It's kind of interesting. ”

Zhu Bajiao burped and said, "Liu Wu's old man is very fine. Now there are two beautiful students in the third year of high school, Liu Qingqing and Wan Guiying, if you add the three of us, the limelight of this year's college entrance examination is completely likely to overwhelm Guangya University. Guangya has been riding on the head of Zhenwu for decades, and Liu Wu's old man wants to turn over in his dreams, so he counts on a few of us! ”

Huo Zongtang looked at them with great interest and said, "What do you think?" ”

Zhu Bajiao glared at him and said, "As long as you can do it, we will definitely accompany you!" Your sister, do you think you are the only one in the world who can take the college entrance examination? You're a genius, isn't you? You're a freak, isn't it? Let me tell you, this month, Xiaolong's literary level has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has advanced from a tabula rasa to the second stage of the rookie! All in all, you are not the only demon in the world, and you want to steal the limelight alone? Phew, think beautifully! What are you doing, all three of us brothers have to go together! ”

Bai Xiaolong looked at him blankly, and said timidly: "Then, in the future, Brother Eight Mustard is going to be in the cave room, can't we go up together?" Sister Xiaoou must not be angry? ”

Zhu Bajiao was so angry that he slapped him on the head: ", of course this Lao Tzu knows, and I still need you to remind him!" Lao Tzu, that's a metaphor, do you understand the metaphor! It means that our brothers want to advance and retreat together! Damn, I said, why are you so weird...... No wonder others call you Erlengxia, do you say that you can talk past your pig brain first! ”

Looking at the way his head was beating and complaining about Bai Xiaolong, Huo Zongtang seemed to see Xu Zheng and couldn't laugh.

"Hmm, it hurts!" Bai Xiaolong covered his head, almost crying in pain. Huo Zongtang covered his stomach and almost laughed.

These guys are really funny!

The cold night fell on my body, and there was a chill. However, there was some warmth in his heart.

It was really fun to be with my brother. It's true.

I really hope that a few buddies can go down together like this, see the mountains, see the sea, and see the most beautiful scenery and women. Even if the wind is blowing, facing the rain, the thunder is ringing in the air, and the frost is stepping on the ground, I only hope that it will never change, it is this kind of frank and happy male love.

Huo Zongtang, who hadn't been home for a month, surprised his parents as soon as he entered the house.

Huo's mother was busy pouring water for him, peeling apples, and then going in and out of the kitchen to cook the best dishes for him. Huo Qiang is a man and is relatively introverted, but he can't help but ask long and short questions, for fear that this month's retreat will wronged his son.

Huo Zongtang smiled and comforted his father, and went to the kitchen to help, fed his mother a piece of apple, and rubbed her shoulders, so that Huo's mother couldn't help but smile.

Just waited for the surprise of Xiao Bei's reunion to pass, and during the meal, Huo Zongtang slowly noticed the abnormality of the atmosphere. Although Huo's father and Huo's mother were full of smiles, there was always a touch of melancholy between their eyebrows, which made Huo Zongtang have a big question mark in his heart.

"Dad, Mom, has anything happened at home lately?"

Huo's father and Huo's mother glanced at each other, and at the same time squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, Xiaotang, you don't have to worry, the family has been fine recently." ”

Huo Zongtang didn't believe it, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Dad, Mom, we are a family, what can't we say?" I have grown up, and I should share the joys and sorrows with you. ”

Huo's father and Huo's mother glanced at each other again and began to be silent.

Huo Zongtang asked a few more words, and Huo Dad sighed and said, "There is a little thing, but you must promise us first, no matter what you hear, you can't be impulsive!" ”

Huo Zongtang calmed down and listened carefully to what his father said.

"Here's the thing......"

With Huo Qiang's narration, Huo Zongtang understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that a few days ago, Hodge's father, Huo Zongtang's "fifth uncle", suddenly brought a group of elders from the Huo family to visit.

This sudden visit surprised Huo Qiang and his wife.

It stands to reason that not only is there no family affection between the two families, but there are also many old grievances, and now that Fifth Uncle Huo suddenly visited, it was very unusual.

Fifth Uncle Huo took advantage of Huo Zongtang's serious illness to snatch away the indicator of a poor student and give it to Hodge, changing Hodge's fate. When Huo Qiang's family was in trouble, he also took advantage of the fire to rob and give Huo Qiang usury, which almost caused their family to fall into the bottomless abyss. Nominally, Huo Qiang's family still owes a debt to Uncle Huo.

Uncle Huo's family has always looked down on Huo Qiang, and they have never taken the initiative to visit this poor relative, in this context, this visit is very strange.

But unexpectedly, Fifth Uncle Huo didn't come to collect debts, but to send them money!

He carried a lockbox with him, and when he opened it, it was full of tickets, and there were 200,000 cash!

Fifth Uncle Huo didn't go around in circles, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he put forward a condition for the couple: as long as they agreed to one thing, he could forgive all their family's debts, plus send them 200,000 in cash! The economic situation of Huo Qiang's family will be greatly improved!

In exchange, Huo Qiang and his wife must agree: the names of their family of three must be removed from the Huo clan genealogy forever! From Huo Qiang's generation, their branch will disappear from the family tree forever!

Huo Qiang, who was shocked and angry, rejected this shameful deal on the spot!

Huo Qiang, who is cowardly by nature and has always been timid and afraid of things, was stubborn in front of Fifth Uncle Huo this time: "I, Huo Qiang, have been in the bag for a lifetime, and I have endured humiliation and burdens for a lifetime, not only harming myself, but also affecting my wife and children." You can bully me, you can look down on me, but if you want me to do that kind of thing that deceives my teachers and destroys my ancestors and harms my descendants, I can't do it! I was born as a member of the Huo family, and I died as a ghost of the Huo family, with the blood of the Huo family on my body, I want me to cut myself off from the family tree and dream! ”

Fifth Uncle Huo and the group of elders of the Huo family were all silent.

After a long time, Fifth Uncle Huo pretended to be kind and persuaded Huo Qiang again. Huo Qiang just didn't follow.
