It was raining lightly in Yanggu County, and in a deserted narrow alley, there were five people wearing hats on their heads.

They leaned against the mossy wall, with arm-thick sticks at their feet, teasing each other in their mouths, looking very casual.

One of the rough-looking, hoarse men threw his elbow at the man next to him and said:

"How did the fifth brother tell me how he played last night?"

Lao Wu held a grass stalk in his mouth and said with a smile: "It's worth a try, it's very moist." After saying that, there was an aftertaste on his face.

Seeing his face, the other person quietly picked up a pocket from the ground, suddenly covered the eyes of the fifth child, and then slammed his neck.

The fifth child screamed in pain, ripped off his pocket, picked up a stick and knocked it on his ass.

Snap, a whip sounded, and it was accurately pumped on the back of Lao Wu's hand, and a blood mark was printed on it.

"Stop!"

The man who made the whip was short, dressed in coarse cloth and short clothes, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and extremely delicate facial features, and his temperament and dress did not match.

Lao Wu covered the back of his injured hand, didn't say a word, and stood obediently against the wall, as if he was afraid of this person who was much thinner than himself.

The hoarse man whispered, "You deserve it." ”

"Get out." Lao Wu scolded back.

The little man had a serious expression, glanced around and said, "Don't blame me for being so nonsense." ”

Her eyes were extremely sharp, and the four burly men did not dare to look at her, and they lowered their heads one after another, rubbing their feet like children who had done something wrong.

Seeing that they were quiet, the little man turned back and looked left and right out of the alley.

After a long time, he suddenly rejoiced: "It's here!" Prepare your pockets, don't kill people, hit your legs. ”

Lao Wu walked two steps behind the little man, propped up the sack in his hand, and waited for the "prey" with bated breath.

Li Yan was about to go to the county office to "cheat" with the appointment paperwork, he was in a very good mood at this time, humming a little song and leaving Song San's house, where could he have thought that a stick "feast" was waiting for him.

When Li Yan walked to the entrance of the alley, Lao Wu suddenly jumped out and kicked on his lower abdomen, Li Yan's stomach hurt, his body naturally leaned forward, Lao Wu opened the sack and put it on, if he didn't look carefully, he thought it was Li Yan who got into it himself.

The whole action is smooth and done in one go, and it can be seen that he is indeed a veteran of playing stuffy sticks.

In an instant, two more people came up, one left and one right, lifted Li Yan, dragged him into the narrow alley, tripped under his feet, threw him to the ground, and then the stick crackled like raindrops.

Li Yan curled up his body, protected his head and ribs and other vital points, and shouted in his mouth: "A good man stays alive, he is short of money, and I am not bad for money!" ”

Those people obviously didn't come for the money, and their strength did not diminish in the slightest, throwing off their arms and waving wooden sticks.

Li Yan was beaten not lightly, he had already eaten more than 20 sticks on his body, whenever he wanted to take off his pocket, there would always be a stick on his hand, Li Yan shouted Song San in a panic, because he was not far from home, he only hoped that Song San could come over to save him.

In fact, Song San wanted to follow, but he refused, this stupid big man was full of radish flavor, I was really afraid that any sentence would leak my mouth, but he lost everything.

Suddenly, a skinny girl ran into the alley, pushed away one of the thugs, blocked in front of Li Yan, and shouted at the top of her throat: "I've already called someone, I'll come right away!" ”

The four thugs were all stunned, the movements in their hands were stagnant, and the hoarse man reacted the fastest, raised his stick and hit the girl who was not in the wind, and scolded in his mouth:

"Stinky begging for food, meddling, get out of the way!"

The stick went straight to the top of the girl's head, and the girl closed her eyes in fright, but did not dodge or dodge.

Pop, the whip sounded again, straight on the back of the hoarse man's hand, the wooden stick fell in response, and he screamed: "What are you doing to hit me!" ”

The little man said lightly: "Don't hit women." ”

The husky man angrily kicked the wall behind him.

"Let's go." The little man glanced at Li Yan, who was curled up, and took the lead out of the alley.

Its thugs also followed, and the alley instantly fell silent, leaving only the thin girl with a frightened face and Li Yan, who was beaten half to death.

The girl stabilized her mind, helped Li Yan take off the pocket on her head, and said with concern: "How is the childe?" ”

Li Yan let out a painful moan from his mouth, feeling a burning pain like a knife scraping, he struggled to stand up, glanced around and saw the perpetrator walking, there was only a little girl in front of him, although he couldn't see with his eyes, but he could hear from the conversation that she saved him.

The girl was looking anxiously at herself with a ponytail, her hair disheveled, her face covered in mud, and her clothes dirty.

"Thank you."

Li Yan leaned against the wall and barely straightened up, moving his body, his left hand and left leg hurt the most, because he was sideways, so most of the sticks fell on the left side.

"Brother."

The girl shouted tentatively.

Li Yan was taken aback, looked at it carefully, and said happily: "Daylily? ”

The girl nodded.

Li Yan ignored the pain, shook her shoulders and said, "I knew you wouldn't disappear, where have you been these days?" ”

Due to the excessive range of movements, he pulled his left arm with a tingling pain, and grinned softly.

"Brother, I'll help you go back first."

Li Yan limped back to Song San's house, Song San was playing sandbags in the yard at this time, and the steps under his feet were decent.

Li Yan scolded: "Song San, you are deaf, you don't even know that Lao Tzu was beaten to death." ”

Song San was in a good mood, especially Chunmei was so amused by him that she covered her mouth and laughed, she was full of a sense of achievement, and her face naturally smiled.

He turned his head when he heard the sound, his smile disappeared instantly, and he ran over, pushed the daylilies away, and shouted, "Who hit it!" ”

Li Yan sat on the stone in the courtyard, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Who the hell am I going to ask?" ”

Song San paced back and forth, pointed at Li Yan and said, "I said to go with you, but you just didn't listen, it's okay now......"

Li Yan took out the letter of appointment from his arms and looked at it, saw that it was intact, leaned against the wall and looked up and smiled: "As long as it's okay." ”

He paused and asked, "Daylily, do you see the appearance of those people clearly?" ”

"I was a little scared, I just remembered that the person who saved me was a little better than me, but not much taller, he looked so handsome, and his face was very white, as white as her." Daylilies pointed to Chunmei Road.

Li Yan didn't speak, guessing in his heart that it should be Hua Zixu, presumably Li Bei'er told Hua Zixu about being molested last night, and he had a history of molesting Li Bei'er, so he naturally locked the target on him, which is not impossible.

And Li Bei'er said that he would discount his legs, and today there was indeed no stick on his head, and his legs were the most hit.

Can't wait! You must go to the prefectural office immediately.
