Chapter 13: Fighting the Ruffian

"Uncle, let's talk about it, let's talk about it again, let's talk about the last one, did you steal Xu Ning's Yanling chain mail in the end? Is Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horses broken? On Liu Chengzu's kang, Liu Zhizhang and Liu Xinzhang pestered him to comment on the book "Shuibo Liangshan".

"I stole it, Xu Ning went to Liangshan and broke the chain of horses, okay, listen in detail, I'll continue tomorrow, now you two should go home and sleep!"

Xinzhang stared at a pair of big eyes, and listened attentively, he ran home from the farm crying during the day, Liu Yizhang left, it hit him too hard, he didn't eat lunch and dinner, he was lying on the kang sullenly, Renzhang looked distressed, so he carried him to his uncle Liu Chengzu's house, put it on the kang and listened to his uncle tell a story with Zhizhang, Renzhang chatted with his uncle a few words, and went to the study to talk to Daddy Liu.

Xinzhang usually likes to pester Yizhang, Yizhang sleeps with him in his arms every night, tells him mythological stories, teaches him to count, and on summer nights, he also teaches him to look at the stars in the sky, which is the morning star, that is the Vega, and the spoon star...... With Liu Yizhang's support, the adults and children in the village didn't dare to make fun of him, and now that Yizhang is gone, Xinzhang feels particularly helpless!

This summer, Xinzhang once dug sweet grass with a few friends in Liuhetan, Han Mingfeng of Hekou Village was bored and learned to be dumb in front of Xinzhang with a hippie smile, Xinzhang was angry, so he grabbed a handful of sand and raised it on Han Mingfeng's face, Han Mingfeng was embarrassed and angry and beat Xinzhang, Xinzhang's mouth was stuffed with sand, and a few blood marks were drawn on his face, and his undershirt was also torn, and then led Renzhang and Zhang Yan back to Liuhe Beach, Han Mingfeng was lying on the beach on all fours, with sweet grass in his mouth, and his eyes were closed.

This Han Mingfeng, relying on his father Han Erhu is the deputy head of Liushui Township, is rampant and domineering in the village, often molesting the little girl from the village who passes by on the street, Zhang Yan once rushed to the estuary market, and was teased by him, that is a master who can't hide, Renzhang is not his opponent at all, thinking of this, Zhang Yan hurriedly pulled Renzhang's clothes, picked up the letter and comforted gently, "Little brother, your eldest brother still has to go to the township clinic to get medicine for your mother, your mother is in a hurry to use it, come back after catching the medicine, and then let your eldest brother give you anger, okay?" Xinzhang turned his head to look at Renzhang, Renzhang didn't squeak, Xinzhang broke free from Zhang Yan's arms and ran home crying.

In the dark day, Yizhang came back from the township to learn martial arts, Xinzhang saw the savior, hugged Yizhang's thigh and cried, Yizhang didn't wait for Xinzhang to explain the matter, he was filled with righteous indignation, and ran to Hekou Village, he had long wanted to meet Han Mingfeng, the 'living Hades', and there was no reason, today this kid dared to bully Xinzhang, that is, Tai Sui's head broke ground, and he didn't teach this kid a lesson, and he was sorry for himself. The name of Hedong Xiaobawang', Han Mingfeng's house is in the westernmost part of Hekou Village, Yizhang passed through most of the village violently, and those who knew Yizhang talked about it one after another, "Everyone, there is a good show to watch now, I don't know who provoked Liu Yizhang, the third brother of Shuangliu Village, follow up and take a look!" Seeing the lively people following Yizhang in groups, they came to the door of Han Mingfeng's house, "Bang, bang, bang" Yizhang kicked the street door of Han's house to the sky, and scolded loudly, "Han Mingfeng, you bastard, get out of here and die." The Han family was having dinner, and as soon as Han Erhu heard the movement outside, he knew that his son was in trouble again.

Han Erhu pointed at Han Mingfeng's nose and scolded, "Bastard, who are you provoking again?" ”

Han Mingfeng lowered his head and whispered, "Dad, I beat a little mute in Shuangliu Village, Hedong." ”

"What? You beat Liu Wende's youngest son, you've lived enough, haven't you? On time, that 'Hedong Little Overlord' is here to seek revenge on his brother, you brute! Han Erhu raised his hand and was about to hit Han Mingfeng, the second tiger's mother-in-law "snapped" and gave Han Erhu a big mouth first, and there was an extra handprint on the second tiger's face, "What's the matter, people are bullying the door, you are shrinking, you don't dare to let go of the fart, but you have the face to beat your son." ”

"Mingfeng, you hide in the back room first, and the old lady will meet this little overlord."

"Bang, bang, bang!" Outside, there was another sound of kicking on the door.

"Who's private child, who has a mother and no father, kicking the door of the old lady's street, you don't want to fucking live." The second tiger lady scolded and opened the door.

Liu Yizhang was already furious, and when he heard this girl scolding so viciously, he thought to himself that it was no wonder that Han Mingfeng was a hooligan, it turned out that there was such a mother from a dominatrix, and his heart was even more angry, and he scolded, "Stinky **, Lao Tzu kicked it!" ”

The second tiger woman opened the street door, looked closely, the young man standing in front of her, eighteen or nineteen years old, tall, his head was almost on the lintel, wearing a sweatshirt, thick chest, bare arms thick and strong, fists clenched, especially those angry eyes, revealing a chilling murderous aura, and secretly thought, "Mingfeng, my little ancestor, you can provoke a living Hades for your mother." But his face was forced to be calm.

"Why did my family Mingfeng provoke you, why are you so fierce, what do you want?" The tone of the second tiger mother-in-law softened significantly.

"Get out of here, stinky **, I can't tell you, let your son of a bastard get out and die." Yizhang didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he kicked the door twice more with his foot.

"You bastard, I'll let you kick!" The second tiger lady is usually arrogant and domineering, where has she been so angry, she scolded, stretched out her hand, and jumped in the face of Gao Xiang Yizhang.

Yizhang saw that this dominatrix had actually moved, he pressed her shoulder with his hand and pulled hard, the second tiger woman collapsed to the ground at once, her body fell apart and couldn't move, Han Mingfeng saw his mother being beaten from the window, and rushed out of the back room, Yizhang jumped into the courtyard of the Han family with an arrow step over the second tiger woman, and scuffled with Han Mingfeng, Han Mingfeng is an only child, pampered since he was a child, he does not lack food and clothing, he has a big waist and a round waist, and has a brute force, although he is not very old, he is in his early twenties, and he bullies men and women on weekdays, Notoriety, in private, the villagers call him 'the living king of Hades', when he sees a handsome girl, he moves his hands and feet, the second tiger woman not only does not discipline him, but also shamelessly says that Mingfeng is more than ten years old, and he has to sleep with her milk in his mouth, saying that he likes women is a sign of manhood.

Someone finally disciplined her today, and within two or three rounds, Han Mingfeng was beaten by Yizhang so that he couldn't find the north, his front teeth also fell out, his nose bone was broken, his cheeks were swollen, his face was covered with blood, he became a blood gourd, rolling around on the ground in pain, screaming, "Dad, my Qin Dad, save me!" ”

Han Erhu knew that he was at a loss, he knew better about Daddy Liu's strength, and he really didn't want to come forward, but when he saw his mother-in-law and son being beaten to their knees and wailing, he couldn't be indifferent, he shouted to the villagers who were blocking the door to watch the excitement, "Folks, you have all seen it, the 'little overlord' in Hedong has bullied the door, and the big guy lives in a village, so he can't ignore it!" Saying that, he picked up a shovel and rushed up, and was kicked out of the way by Yizhang against the shovel, lying there and not daring to move, watching the lively villagers surrounding the yard, if someone else had helped, at least he would have helped to persuade him, but this Han Mingfeng is really not a thing, full of hooligans, everyone hates it, Han Erhu's eldest brother Han Dahu is standing in the crowd, and his three sons, Han Minghai, Han Mingshan, and Han Mingyang, also felt relieved at first, and later heard his brother Han Erhu asking for help, I couldn't help it, so I picked up the crowd and walked towards the yard with my three sons.

At this time, I saw Liu Yizhang take turns to grab the shovel and began to smash it like crazy, crackling and beating, the window lattice, the door of the hall, the dining table on the kang, and the mirror on the wardrobe all became victims, and Han Erhu's family lying on the ground got up from the ground and got into the crowd, and they didn't dare to say a word, the arrogance on weekdays disappeared, and Han Dahu was also frightened when he saw this, thinking that Liu Yizhang's momentum was also given for nothing by my father, and he was worthy of being the little overlord of Hedong.

At this time, there was another commotion outside the crowd, and someone shouted, "Someone from Shuangliu Village is coming!" ”。

The leader is Wang Shoujiang, the director of public security, followed by Liu Renzhang, Liu Zhongzhang, Liu Shangzhang, Liu Houzhang, Liu Enzhang, Liu Huizhang, Xing Liuzhang and other dozen young men.

"Third brother, everyone is here, where are you?" Wei Ji shouted loudly at the crowd.

The crowd made way in an uproar, and the timid hurriedly hid away, Wang Shoujiang looked at Liu Yizhang, who was still angry, and complained, "Third brother, why did you fall behind with such a good deal." He looked around, Han Mingfeng's family had long since disappeared, and the house was also smashed by Yizhang, the kang is not a kang, the ground is not the ground, it is a mess, only the street door has not been broken, Wang Shoujiang picked up the axe in his hand and slashed at the street door, Liu Huizhang climbed on the roof to demolish the house, but was stopped by Yizhang, he said loudly to the onlookers on the third floor and the third floor outside, "Folks, some of you may know me, some don't recognize me, I tell you that I am Liu Yizhang of the Liu family compound in Shuangliu Village, Hedong, Everyone witnessed me beating Han Mingfeng's family and basically destroying his home, why? Am I really as domineering as they say the little bully? No, you see, this is my brother. ”

Liu Yizhang said and hugged Xiao Xinzhang from Liu Weiji's back, and continued to the big guy, "My little brother is a mute, just turned five years old, that bastard Han Mingfeng actually hit him ruthlessly, stuffed sand in his mouth in Liuhe Beach, and slapped him in the mouth, what is the difference between this and a beast?" Do people think I should beat him up? Should I kill him? Han Mingfeng, a brute, bullies men and women on weekdays, everyone swallows his anger because his father Han Erhu is a deputy township chief, I, Liu Yizhang, am not used to him, don't say that he is a bullshit deputy township chief, he is a bastard emperor, and I Liu Yizhang dare to sacrifice my body and dare to pull him off the horse! Han Dahu heard it clearly, thinking that the Erhu family was not wronged at all by being beaten by this, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that he didn't take his three sons up to help Erhu fight, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford to lose anyone if he was beaten up......

Zhizhang also kept begging Liu Chengzu, "Uncle dear, good uncle, you can talk about one more, you see how much my brother likes to listen, he hasn't eaten all day, if my brother Yizhang is here, it will be much better!" ”

After listening to Zhizhang's words, Xinzhang began to miss Yizhang again, and cried with a whimper, Yang Chengzu hurriedly comforted Xinzhang, "Good grandson, don't cry, you eat something first, and I will continue to tell you the story of "Shuibo Liangshan"!" ”

Yang Chengzu went to the kitchen and took a piece of white flour dumplings and put it on the stove lid to roast it, and then told the little brothers the story of robbing Xu's mansion at night.

"Come, good grandson, eat gluttony!" Liu Chengzu handed the dumpling to the letter chapter, the bottom of the dumpling was baked brown, hot in his hand, it smelled fragrant, only Daddy Liu and Lady Liu could eat dumplings at home, but Lady Liu was never willing to eat, she ate corn tortillas or sweet potato dogs like children, and only during the New Year's holidays the whole family could eat dumplings or rice for a few days, but Xinzhang did not eat less dumplings, Daddy Liu would break a piece for him when he ate, and every time he was hungry, he and Zhizhang swallowed saliva.

At this moment, Xinzhang took the baked dumpling, tilted his head and looked at Zhizhang, only to see that he was staring at the dumpling in his hand, Xinzhang reached out and handed the dumpling to Zhizhang, and said in a dumb voice, "Brother Zhizhang, you have eaten it all, I'm not hungry!" Zhizhang didn't dare to take it, he remembered that once at the dinner table, Xinzhang also gave him a small piece of dumplings to eat, but as soon as he took it, he was slapped by Yizhang, and he didn't eat it, and he earned the nickname of 'gluttonous ghost'!

Seeing that Zhizhang hesitated, Xinzhang said in a dumb voice, "Brother Zhizhang, Brother Yizhang is not at home, you can eat with confidence!" Zhizhang took the dumpling, put it on his nose and smelled it, returned it to Xinzhang, and said with a smile, "Xinzhang, you haven't eaten for a day, I'm full for dinner, you should eat quickly!" Swallowing his saliva vigorously as he spoke, Liu Chengzu took the dumpling and broke it into two and gave it to his two grandsons, but tears flowed down!

Poverty, tormented by the devastated New China, although the land reform, the peasants also have the land they dream of, but the productivity is extremely low, the output is very low, the population is large, most of them pay the public grain, and catch up with the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the factory donated cloth, the peasants donated grain, a year down, it is said that it is to eat gluttony, even the coarse grain has to be planned to eat, even the newspaper said that Chairman Mao and his old man can only eat one full meal a day, like Daddy Liu's family, a large family of eight people, relying on more than a dozen acres of thin fields to harvest grain is not enough to eat, Through the connections he made when he ran the boat in the past, Father Liu privately bought some high-priced grain, which was hidden in the cellar, and secretly relieved some relatives and friends in distress on weekdays, while his children should eat coarse grains and have to eat, and they must not be extravagant and wasteful, and diligence and thrift are fundamental.
