There are three days left before the summer vacation of the Eighth Normal School. That morning, Tanaka told Li Dejin and Shen Zhaoyin that she planned to go on vacation to Tanaka's clinic in the town of Jinan, and asked them to take a carriage together.

Du Xinlei walked into the classroom, came to Li Dejin's side and said: "There is a coachman surnamed Xie looking for you, he said that he is friends with your father, and he wants you to take his carriage back to Qinan Town. He is waiting for you in the office. ”

"The surname Xie?" Li Dejin was surprised, among the people he knew, the surname Xie was the only one, but this person helped his stepson hurt himself and Guan Ya so hard.

Li Dejin followed Du Xinlei to the office and met Xie Zhengzhong.

Li Dejin was puzzled, but Xie Zhengzhong suddenly knelt in front of him: "Virtuous nephew, uncle can't stand your family! I, I am an ungrateful villain." ”

"Uncle, don't be like this, if you have something to say!" Li Dejin helped Xie Zhengzhong up.

Xie Zhengzhong said that after he healed his arm and returned home, Xie Tang and Zhi Huaqi nagged all day long, complaining that he couldn't pay for money. In a fit of rage, he sold his house in Chenjiagang and bought a carriage.

"I've often heard lately that a carriage has been stopped by bandits on the road, how dare you do such a thing?" asked Li Dejin.

"Alas, it's not that I don't know, but I can't help it! Now the world is not peaceful, and everything is risky! However, bandits also have the rules of bandits, and they generally do not hurt the people who drive the car. Xie Zhengzhong said.

Xie Zhengzhong was also intercepted by masked bandits, and he was really scared out of a cold sweat that time, because the person in the car was robbed.

However, Xie Zhengzhong was just a false alarm. On the way back from the empty car, Li Detong stopped him, gave him a silver dollar, and told him to rest assured that he would catch the car.

Only then did Xie Zhengzhong understand that the leader of the gang of bandits was his cellmate Li Detong.

"Thank you Uncle Xie for your concern! I went back with Mayor Shen's second son and a female classmate. I'll pay for the car, and I'll give you the amount now!" Mr. Li said.

"How can I ask for your money!" Xie Zhengzhong said, "You spend a lot of money to treat my injuries and provide me with food and drink." I didn't have enough money to buy a carriage, so he gave me twenty dollars. When I have to pay him back when I have to pay him back, how can I ask for your money!"

At this time, Li Dejin suddenly remembered Guan Xiaoya, and he was afraid to go home to see her.

Since Guan Xiaoya left Haizhou, Li Dejin has missed it day and night, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, but when he learned the news of Guan Xiaoya's pregnancy from his parents, and was determined to be his species, his love and longing for Guan Xiaoya came to an abrupt end, and he began to despise and resent her in his heart.

"Uncle Xie, have you seen Guan Xiaoya at our house?" asked Li Dejin.

"Yes!" Xie Zhengzhong said, "I saw it often at first, but then she went crazy." You are very afraid that she will have a bad impact on her crazy words, so you will ask your sister to take her to her in-law's house. ”

......

When he returned home, Li Liu told Li Dejin about the miscarriage and madness of the little girl, and his heart only trembled slightly. He had not visited her for more than a month at home.

In addition to meeting with Chie Tanaka, Li Dejin focused all his energy on how to take revenge on Zhi Huaqi's plan.

The 17th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is the day when the 8th Normal School begins. Xie Zhengzhong said that he would go to Li Dalong's house for lunch on 16 August, and after dinner, he took Li Dejin, Shen Zhaoyin, and Tanaka Qianhui back to Haizhou.

On the morning of 16 August, Li Dejin went to the big car shop at the intersection to pick up Xie Zhengzhong. Whenever a carriage came, he inquired.

"Come," said one of the coachmen, "and yesterday his son asked him for money, saying that he was paying a gambling debt. He said that there was no money, and the Mid-Autumn Festival spent all the money.

The two of them quarreled for a few words and then started to act, and Lao Xie was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he vomited blood. The guy rummaged through Lao Xie Tou's whole body, and only took out a few cents of change. ”

"Damn Zhihuaqi, Lao Tzu can't spare you! Wait and see!" Li Dejin gritted his teeth and said.

......

After lunch, Li Dejin, Shen Zhaoyin, and Tanaka Chie met at the entrance of the big car shop.

Hearing what happened to Xie Zhengzhong, Shen Zhaoyin hesitated for a while, and then said: "I think so: I'll go home and ask the township soldiers to escort us." You wait!"

"No need!" Li Dejin said, "What are you afraid of? My aunt and my third brother have three chapters of the law. The third brother will not break his word. I've heard that bandits also have rules that tell rabbits not to eat grass next to their nests. ”

"Not really. Shen Zhaoyin said, "What are we men afraid of! I mean Qianhui......"

"Hahaha......" Tanaka Chie said with a smile, "With you two flower messengers, what am I afraid of?"

"What are you waiting for, three guest officers, in my car!" a middle-aged coachman beckoned.

This coachman is Zheng Xiaowu's second brother, originally called Zheng Xiaoer. He didn't like others to call him Xiao Er, so he changed his name to Zheng Erche.

Three people got into the car. Shen Zhaoyin asked, "Boss, do you know that there are bandits robbing on this road?"

"My surname is Zheng, on the edge of the town of Chunan. Zheng Erche replied, "That's scary." Three generations of my family have been driving cars, and I haven't encountered many of them for many years. ”

"So, you've been there. Li Dejin said, "Didn't the bandits do anything to you? Are they terrible?"

"Hehe," Zheng Erche said with a smile, "Xiaohu, you don't know, this is called a monk has a monk's way, and a bandit has a bandit." ”

"Then what do you say is a bandit!" Li Dejin said.

"Okay, listen!" Zheng Erche said, "There are three ways to banditry: the first is that the drought thief does not rob the driver, and the water thief does not hurt the boatman......"

"Yo, no wonder you drivers aren't afraid of bandits. Shen Zhaoyin said.

"There's no hurry. Listen down!" Zheng Erche said, "The second is that bandits rob money and not their lives. ”

This sentence is deceiving. Li Dejin asked, "What if the people who ride the car don't pay for it?" and the bandits still don't want your life?"

"Don't be afraid, there's a third!" Zheng Erche said.

"Yes," said Tanaka Chie, "the third is that rabbits don't eat the grass around the nest." Am I right?"

......

"Wow...... What a big tree!" Chie Tanaka suddenly screamed, pointing to a ginkgo tree on the side of the road in front of her that could only be closed by two adults hugging each other, "I don't think we saw it when we came!"

"You're amazing! Why don't I feel it?" Mr. Li said.

"Hehe! You've never seen such a big tree, have you?" Zheng Erche said with a smile, "This white fruit tree is not the biggest.

There is a Zhangdian town thirty miles north of Jinan Town, where there is a tree left over from the Tang Dynasty, which is thicker than this one. Legend has it that the tree was used by the hero Luo Cheng to tie his horse, and there was Luo Cheng's horse platform around it!"

At this time, Zheng Erche saw two masked men standing in the middle of the road riding horses in front of him, and hurriedly "...... it", pulled the reins tightly with both hands to stop the carriage, and muttered:

"It's unlucky! I don't know what kind of underworld day it is!"

"It can't be that you ran into bandits again, right?" asked Shen Zhaoyin tremblingly.

"Why don't these bandits even stop celebrating the holidays!" said Li Dejin indignantly.
