Chapter V: Retaliation
When he arrived at the vegetable market, Li Qingbao stuck the firewood knife behind his waist and asked a doctor who was sitting in the clinic watching TV, "Has Liang Tai ever been here?" ”
"Oh, boy Li, what's going on? Just now, Liang Tai came to me with a hand of blood to ask for some gauze cotton, so he hurriedly took a motorcycle and went to the county seat. "The doctor at this clinic didn't know what was going on, and he told the truth.
Li Qingbao didn't reply, he stiffened his face and turned his head to leave.
trotted all the way to the door of Chen Lian's restaurant, Xiaohu hadn't left the restaurant at this time, chatting with Chen Lian while drinking wine and eating peanuts, seeing Li Qingbaohu's face and a firewood knife in his waist, Xiaohu didn't know what was going on, and asked, "Brother Bao, what's wrong with you?" Didn't you go to play cards, it's over so soon? ”
"Why is the back of your head bleeding? Brother Bao, what the hell is going on? Xiaohu suddenly found that Li Qingbao's head was covered with blood along his neck, and he immediately stood up and exclaimed!
"It's none of your business." Li Qingbao said coldly, then took out the motorcycle key from Xiaohu's pocket, then pushed the motorcycle out, put the firewood knife in the back row, and immediately rode the motorcycle in the direction of the county seat.
After running for nearly ten kilometers on a broken car, Li Qingbao still didn't see any trace of Liang Tai, and asked a few passers-by on the side of the road, all of whom said that they saw a motorcycle drive away, but it had been a long time.
With this tattered motorcycle, he couldn't catch up no matter what, Li Qingbao's mood gradually calmed down, and he turned around helplessly, returned to Liang Tai's residence, and got back the money he won by playing cards today. Then he returned to the mansion of Qin Punishment.
It was already past six o'clock, and the sky was slowly darkening. Li Qingbao parked the motorcycle directly at the door, pushed the door and entered the house.
At this time, Qin Zhi seemed to be waiting for Li Qingbao to come back in the main hall, and after taking a sip of the unique bitter leaf tea, he shouted to Li Qingbao at the door: "Qingbao, come here." ”
Originally, when he entered the door and saw Qin Punishment, Li Qingbao wanted to turn around to avoid his current embarrassment, but the old man had already shouted, and he had to enter the main hall.
Li Qingbao's mood at this time was no longer as crazy as when he beat people before, he pretended to be nothing, wiped the blood on his face, walked over, sat next to Qin Punishment, and said: "This bitter tea leaves, I have seen you drinking it since I was a child, what is there to drink?" ”
"It's just a habit that doesn't drink well." Qin Zhi stroked his white beard, and then sighed: "The trouble you caused today may kill you in the future." ”
"Trouble? What's the trouble? I just punched a dog offal that deserves to be beaten! Li Qingbao didn't care, and didn't want to talk about this with Qin Punishment, so he changed the topic and said, "Old man, you already know about the afternoon so soon, your divination skills can really be calculated in everything?" ”
"The art of divination, within common sense, can be calculated, but it is not accurate."
"Not allowed? What does this mean? Li Qingbao was a little puzzled, he was not allowed to teach this divination technique to himself at the beginning, this was not a joke.
"Life is varied, the world is impermanent, how can it be accurate." Qin Zhi said without hurrying or slowly.
"You are right." Li Qingbao habitually touched the back of his head, this touch suddenly jumped up with a sigh, touched the blood in his hand and touched the wound, at this time he calmed down and felt unbearable pain, and stopped again and again and said: "Old man, I won't talk to you first, I'll go back to the house to stop the bleeding." ”
"Wait, come here, I'll take a look at it for you." Qin Zhu beckoned and signaled.
"I forgot, you know medicine." Li Qingbao knew what the other party meant, turned his head, and showed the wound on the back of his head to Qin Punishment.
Qin Yan pulled off his sleeves, stretched out his hand behind Li Qingbao's head, and pressed it for a while, it was numb and crispy, and Li Qingbao didn't feel pain.
Qin Zhi pressed the back of his head and asked with a smile, "You're going out with Steward Lin tomorrow, is there anything you want to say to me?" ”
"Old man, I want to ask you what you asked."
"Hehe, our two masters can be regarded as having a good heart, when I took you in and taught you the ability, although it was only a short period of three years, it was also the fate of you and me." Qin Zhu paused for a moment before he continued: "You have been in Pingjian Town since you were a child, and you have never gone out, and I am really a little sad when I think of you leaving. ”
Qin Punishment, who has always been rarely warm, said such a thing, Li Qingbao was also a little sad, and said with a wry smile: "Old man, although Taoism is not a Buddhist, it also pays attention to the six roots of purity, what are you sad about." Don't worry, I'll be a person when I go out this time, and I won't smear your face. ”
"This is what I'm worried about, the mountain doctor's fate is easy to go through thousands of years of evolution. I spent most of my life researching, and although I didn't make a big difference, I finally achieved a little success. You will have to go out one day sooner or later, so in the past few years, I have the intention to let you work medical skills. Unfortunately, you're not interested in medicine. But Xiaohu doesn't have the talent for this, and I'm afraid this mastery will be wasted. ”
As he spoke, Qin Zhi had already eliminated the big bag on the back of Li Qingbao's head, which surprised Li Qingbao very much, the wound that was still bleeding was now scarred, and there was no pain at all.
"The mountain doctor is the foundation of his life, but you have learned others, these strange methods are difficult to be accepted by the world, when you go out, remember not to use them indiscriminately, so as not to attract disaster."
Li Qingbao didn't care, and said, "Don't worry, I understand this." There are so many people in the world, and few of them know how to heal, so they can still live well, they can, and so can I. ”
Qin Zhi nodded with a smile and said, "It seems that my worries are a little unnecessary. ”
"When I finish dealing with things and make a lot of money, I'll come back and let you enjoy Qingfu." Li Qingbao said.
"If only you had a heart." Qin Zhi shook his head and said, "You don't have to think about me, the outside is your real world, go and live well." Don't care about your father's affairs, he must have a hard time abandoning you. "Qin Punishment is an old immortal-level figure, how can he not see the true purpose of Li Qingbao's going out.
"I know."
"Okay, go and rest, I have to get up early tomorrow, and I won't send you." Qin punished and stopped, not because he was ruthless, but he was afraid that seeing him at the time of parting would only increase his sadness. Slowly stood up, turned around and left slowly with his hands behind his back.
"Old man......" Li Qingbao wanted to speak and stopped, but he still couldn't help shouting.
"What else?"
"No, it's okay!" Li Qingbao is not a ruthless person, although the surface is calm and calm, but his heart has already intertwined. In the ordinary conversation just now, he faintly felt that the other party hinted that the fate between the two was over.
It is fate, sin, life, death...... Qingbao, I can't see through your life, but you have seen through my life.
Back in his room, Li Qingbao, who was full of thoughts, smoked a few cigarettes one after another, only then did he calm down, hurriedly took a shower, and washed away the bloodstains left between the fight with Liang Tai, and the wound on the back of his head was basically fine, leaving only a deep wound on his forehead, which was hit by Liang Tai's headbutt.
Because he was going to leave Pingjian Town tomorrow, Li Qingbao didn't plan to rest so early, changed into clean clothes, and was going to go to Liang Tai's house to see if the other party had come back, this account, he wanted to figure it out.
When he went out and set up his broken motorcycle, it was already completely dark, Li Qingbao was about to go to Chen Lian's shop to eat something first, and as soon as he walked to the door of the store, he saw Chen Lian and several of her neighbors talking together.
As soon as she saw Li Qingbao, Chen Lian frowned and said, "Li boy, what are you doing again, I heard that you also used a knife to cut Liang Tai?" ”
There was a scolding in his words, Li Qingbao knew that she cared about herself, but the anger in his heart had not disappeared, so he said coldly: "That dog crump actually dared to scold my mother, Lao Tzu really hated that he couldn't kill him at that time." ”
"Don't be so angry, didn't you say that you were going to leave Pingjian Town tomorrow? Tomorrow you should leave early, lest you attract retaliation. Chen Lian reminded, and suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, where are you going outside when you leave Pingjian Town?" ”
"Zhonghai." Li Qingbao replied.
"What? China Shipping. Chen Lian remembered what happened to Liang Tai before, and hurriedly said: "It's troublesome now, Li boy, the Liang Tai you cut was in Zhonghai before, and I heard that there are still many brothers on his side, don't spread the news that you are going to Zhonghai." ”
"I'm still afraid that the dog will not be able to make it, forget it, Sister Chen, don't grind with me, I'm here to eat." Li Qingbao said impatiently.
"Alright, alright, be careful yourself." Chen Lian said helplessly: "What do you want to eat?" ”
"Just have an egg fried rice and cook more rice." Li Qingbao said, found a table and sat down.
Not long after he sat down, Pan Hong walked out of the inner room of the restaurant, and actually saw Li Qingbao swaggering to eat in his small shop, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brother, you are in big trouble, I just heard the news that Liang Tai entered the hospital, and he almost hung up after losing too much blood." He has already contacted a few buddies in the county, and he will bring someone to you tomorrow to take revenge! ”
"What!!" Li Qingbao slapped the table violently, his face changed, he became angry, and said angrily: "That Wang Balamb still dares to call people? Good, good, good! Let's see, who is more ruthless than whom! ”
"I said Li Qingbao, don't mess around!" Pan Hong was stunned when he saw Li Qingbao's appearance now.
"Pan Hong, do you know which hospital the eight lambs are in the county?" Li Qingbao was a little ruthless.
"I don't know, I really don't." Pan Hong hurriedly shook his head, even if he knew it, he would never dare to tell him, if he really killed someone, then he would be an accomplice.
"I'll find it myself!" Li Qingbao was not in the mood to eat, so he rode home on a motorcycle, stuck the firewood knife he had brought from Liang Tai in the afternoon into his waist, and went back to the bed in his room to find a powder gun he had made before and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.
Xiaohu was looking for Li Qingbao all afternoon, and just returned to the mansion to his room to see if anyone was there, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Qingbao take out a powder gun violently, and suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Bao, what are you doing here?" What the hell is going on? ”
"Huzi is a brother, you don't care about this matter." Li Qingbao didn't have time to deal with him, so he pushed Xiaohu away and was about to walk out.
Xiaohu knew that he couldn't stop Li Qingbao, so he hurriedly ran to Qin Punishment's room.
Li Qingbao prepared everything that should be prepared, walked out of the mansion, climbed on the motorcycle to start the engine, tightened the accelerator and rushed out.
"Qingbao!!" An angry shout suddenly rang out.
Li Qingbao was very familiar with this sound, and suddenly stepped on the brakes, but because the start was too strong, the tires slipped and the car fell to the ground.
Qin Zhi stood at the door of the mansion and said sharply: "What kind of big things can you achieve with your temperament!" Hurry back. ”
Li Qingbao became angry, he could not care about anything, and he would not listen to anyone's words, but there were only two exceptions, one was his mother, and the other was Qin Punishment.
Li Qingbao didn't fall from the car very hard, he stood up with an expressionless face, pushed it back to the door of the mansion and parked it, glared at Xiaohu fiercely, didn't say a word, and walked straight back to his room.
The news that Li Qingbao was leaving Pingjian Town spread throughout the town the next day. Early in the morning, when Li Qingbao packed his luggage and was at the entrance of the town, most of the people who were idle in the town came to see him off.
It's not that this kid is so respectable, but this guy is gone, everyone is very happy, the big hooligan is gone, they don't have to worry about chickens, ducks and dogs disappearing inexplicably, don't worry about the children in the family after school to recruit him to beat him, and don't worry about their daughter-in-law being peeed in the backyard bath.
If you want to say that the only one who really came to send Li Qingbao is Xiaohu, this simple boy was full of reluctance, and handed a gourd in his hand to Li Qingbao and said: "Brother Bao, last night I bled the big black dog of Erwazi's family, and put it in it, so as not to find it when you are in a hurry to use it in the future." ”
The main function of these black dog blood is to draw talismans, Li Qingbao took the gourd and weighed it, and said with a smile: "Huzi, you still understand me." ”
Xiaohu reluctantly looked at his brother, who had known him since childhood, took out a sharp dagger from his waist, handed it to Li Qingbao, and instructed: "Brother Bao, you have been weak since you were a child, you can't practice martial arts on weekdays, and you tinker with those gossip feng shui fortune-telling things all day long, and I'm dizzy when I look at it!" This woodpecker knife you hide on your body, if you encounter any difficulties, just wipe your neck, just like wiping those animals, it's very simple. ”
There was no unnecessary shirk, and after taking the dagger in Xiaohu's hand, Li Qingbao said: "When I settle outside, someone will come back to pick you up, and you can't forget what I told you last night before that." ”
"Don't worry, I have it in my heart, and I will definitely not forget it, I am not familiar with life outside, you must be careful."
Li Qingbao nodded, showed a smile, raised his fist and punched Xiaohu's chest: "Take care, brother, take care, old man, I'm leaving!" ”
With a hint of nostalgia, Li Qingbao left the place where he had lived for more than 20 years, without bringing too many things, only a schoolbag-sized package and a gourd given to him by Huzi.
