Chapter XVII. Conflict

Looking at the curious eyes around him, the dog smiled and said slowly: "Master Liu, the kid saw that there was a board car in front of your city gate, you saw that the kid's body bones were really thin, and he only carried half a load of firewood, and he made two red marks, this firewood is more on the firewood mountain, and it can be cut at any time, if you borrow your car, the kid will have a lot of strength left, and he can cut a lot of firewood!" After speaking, he looked at him embarrassedly.

"Hahaha, you dog is really a goblin, this car was just deducted today, and it was targeted by your pair of thief eyes, and you can't use it, and it's cheap for you, push it away! I see that you are still a little pleasing to the eye, and it is useless to return it, so I will give it to you! After speaking, he said with a smile: "Now the master will be harder to take your firewood hahaha." ”

When the dog heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Master Liu!" Turning around, Dasha and the two of them quickly put down the firewood, and happily ran to the front of the cart and tried to pull it vigorously.

This car is called a Taiping car, there are two wheels and four wheels, a car can hold hundreds of pounds of goods, is the caravan used to pull goods for a short distance.

When used, it is pulled by a sturdy large animal in front of the wheel, and two ropes can also be taken out to assist in traction on both sides, and the dog is of course not used by mules and horses, so it can only be driven on two legs.

The city gate of this car is a two-wheeled, look at the car full of dust, half-old appearance, both sides of the wheel hub is not lightly grinded, think it is a long way, fortunately the wood of the whole body is used really, look at that, another three or five years is not a problem, and somehow was detained by the city gate soldiers.

Thanks to the head of the Liu team who watched the door, let the big fool pull in front of him, and push behind himself and the dog, thinking about it with less than two loads of firewood to change such a big car, and pulling firewood in the future can save a lot of effort, the beauty in my heart! The footsteps almost floated.

On the way home, I bought some cooking cakes, gruel is not hungry, the meal I drank earlier was wiped out after a few walks, and I had to eat some porcelain dry food when I worked hard! If you work hard and don't eat enough, the big scalper has to get tired and lie down, not to mention when you are growing your body.

Although the meat can't afford to eat, the cooking cakes can still be eaten, and no matter how bad Grandma Cao's multigrain cakes are, they are big and cheap, and they are good and cheap, and they are full.

Throw Dasha ten cents, let him buy four cooking cakes and four cakes, and the two of them towed the car to the well to fetch water and slowly scrub it. The car was wiped clean and the porridge was cooked, and the left and right waited until Dasha came back.

It's not far from Grandma Cao's stall, where are you going to play if you don't come back this time? Dasha is not so unreliable!

After extinguishing the fire and shouting to the dogs, the two went out along the road to find someone. The sharp-eyed dog who had walked more than 200 steps suddenly grabbed the corner of the dog's clothes and pointed to the alley next to the big locust tree in front of him.

Looking around, I saw a man in a green robe and a turban leading two followers with their backs to him stretching out their hands, pointing to the front and scolding.

Look at the two men in front of him who are kicking and beating a little brother in cotton clothes on the ground, but the little brother is tearing and beating together with a strong man in gray, take a closer look, it is Dasha, and the one who is tearing and beating with him is actually Zhang Erlang of Zhangjiazhuang, and the person who pretends to be a scholar but scolds foul language in his mouth is Zhang Dalang.

Now the two brothers have become a scourge in Xichengfang, leading a few ruffians and scoundrels, controlling more than a dozen boys, women and children under their hands, instigating them to steal money and things everywhere all day long, and selling a few older children to Dongchengfang as servants, and the money earned is spent on themselves.

It is said that a few old beggars in this group could not stand it anymore, so they explained a few words, and were beaten out with sticks by Zhang Erlang and a few scoundrels, and they were frozen to death the next day. Since then, no one dares to provoke these two brothers, and they have become more and more arrogant.

Seeing that Dasha was at a loss, the dog instantly became anxious, picked up the mud bricks on the ground with one hand and found a stick, bent down and sneaked behind Zhang Dalang, who was scolding, and pressed down with his legs to make a vertical jump, raised the brick in his hand and smashed it towards his head.

The big man seemed to notice something, just turned his head, and at a glance saw the brick slapping towards him, and he hurriedly raised his hand to block it with a strange cry in his mouth. With a 'poof' sound, the mud bricks shattered in half, and Zhang Dalang was also slapped to the ground.

Seeing the crumble of mud on the ground, the dog sighed and said that it was a pity. Raising the stick in his hand and rushing towards the man who was stunned and forgot to kick and beat Dasha, Xu was suddenly frightened by himself, and he rushed in, and quickly dragged Dasha to confront the two people.

Zhang Dalang, who fell to the ground in anger, scolded his mother, and the two stupid men returned to their souls.

Busy separated a person to fight with the dog, the man was in his thirties, with a full beard, a pair of small eyes tried to open, and his legs scrambled over and stretched out his fist and smashed it on the dog's head, where did the dog's thin body dare to take this blow, and he turned around and hid backwards.

Zhang Dalang, who fell to the ground, covered his head and was helped up by the two attendants, and opened his mouth to scold, only to hear a gust of wind in his ears, his head hurt, his eyes were golden, and he crawled on the ground and fainted.

Frightened, the two little followers screamed at the top of their throats, and the dog who had been hit several times with a heavy hammer on the side turned his head to look, and the dog who was a step behind also learned his own appearance, found a mud brick, and slapped Zhang Dalang over.

Well done, this has to be a good compliment!

"Good dogs, enough for gentlemen!" Then with a scream, Zhao Gou'er was kicked to the ground by the small-eyed man, bluffing the dog to save him.

For a while, dust was flying, screaming and scolding were endless, and the small alleys were chaotic.

Although the black hand put down Zhang Dalang, but the three dogs, young and frail, and did not eat lunch, where are the opponents of Zhang Erlang's three adult men, with the stick in his hand and the bare-handed opponent walked more than a dozen moves before being beaten to the ground.

With his arms on his head, he curled up with only his ass and back out. A crackling raindrop of pain hit, and the dog gritted his teeth in pain.

I saw the dog leftover behind me from the crack in my arm, and the big fool in front was also knocked to the ground, and I was lying on the ground with the same protection as myself.

"Straight lady thief, dare to sneak attack grandpa!" Zhang Dalang, who woke up, took the stick in his hand and slapped the dog's back a few times, and the painful dog couldn't hold back anymore and screamed miserably.

That Zhang Dalang was angry and kicked a few times before letting go of the dog, and then came to the dog left, took the mud brick handed by the little attendant and smashed it on his head, but fortunately, the dog left's arm was tightly protected, and only a small piece was smashed on the head.

That Zhang Dalang raised his foot and kicked it a few times, Fang was relieved, looked at a group of people coming from afar, and led a few rogue men around him to leave with a scolding and scolding.

"Today, I have planted a few heels" Watching their group walk away, the three of them slowly got up, and the dog sighed and said helplessly.

Look at each other, it is not full of shoe prints, the head is also dirt, the eyes, the face is swollen, a little movement will grin the teeth pain, Dasha has been beaten for a long time and looks the worst, the corners of the nose and mouth are bleeding, I think it is broken skin, look at the strange appearance, the dog actually pounced and laughed, this laugh was implicated in the wound at the corner of the mouth, and the laughter became a miserable howl.

After resting for a while, he gritted his teeth and slowly stood up, and moved his body gently, fortunately, there were no serious injuries such as broken bones, I think this cotton clothes played a role, but it also tore a few big holes.

Alas, sigh, let's take it another day and ask Granny Cao to help sew it up!

This kind of group fight has been fought many times since childhood, but this time it was a miserab, as long as the body is okay, it will recover after a few days.

Turning around and helping Dasha up, the three of them walked back with each other, and asked him the reason on the way and comforted him softly, and then lifted it and didn't mention it.

It turned out that Dasha got ten cents for the dog to buy cooking cakes, and he swayed all the way. Unfortunately, I met Zhang Dalang's group of people, and Zhang Erlang inside saw that the fool was playing with money, so he wanted to cheat it, but he didn't know that Dasha was not fooled, and he was scolded a few words, and he fought back and forth.

Now that the money has been robbed, and he has been beaten, and the three of them are not opponents of the other party, he gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years", and when he recovers from his injury, he will find an opportunity to avenge this revenge.

The person stuffed his teeth with cold water on his back, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw a man leading several servants to hurry over. When he saw the dog, he stopped, and one of the leaders stepped forward and said, "The three of you are gray and scarred, aren't you the gangsters fighting in the alley ahead?" ”

The dog looked at it twice, sighed lazily and stepped forward to salute and said, "Master Hui, the three boys, they were robbed of money by gangsters in the alley just now, and they were beaten up, and they were about to leave!" I don't know what the poor master does? ”

The leader glared when he heard this: "Nonsense, treat me so slowly and carefully your flesh and skin!" After speaking, he rolled his eyes and said: "You said that you were robbed of money, you were robbed of money, it can't be that a few of you were caught stealing people's money and beaten!" After saying that, he crossed his waist and laughed.

I have long seen the black-hearted and black-hearted errand dog of this gang, and as soon as I sat on the ground, I cried and wiped my tears and shouted: "Our three brothers died early, and they begged at the South City Gate all day, and today they got ten yuan and wanted to buy some cakes to eat, but they were robbed by Zhang Dalang and Zhang Erlang of Xichengfang. Now that we have no stomach to eat, we will be arrested by the official, we can't live anymore, woo woo..."

The dog on the side also hurriedly lay on the ground and cried wildly, leaving only Dasha to stare wide-eyed, snorting and stupidly looking.

When the leading official saw this, he said impatiently: "Don't cry, don't cry, I didn't say to take you, what kind of ball to cry about, isn't it ten cents, don't you ask for it tomorrow!" After saying that, he stopped caring about the three dogs, and led a group of errands and hurried back.

Whew, these dog servants, seeing that they were beggars, hurried away without oil and water, and spat fiercely and despised it. Picking up the dog again, the three of them grinned and walked back.

Made! It's really painful, I went back to drink porridge, boiled a pot of hot water and wiped my body, and it is good to go to the pit as soon as possible to raise it.

I thought I would go to the blacksmith shop in the afternoon to buy some axes and firewood knives, and if I still had some time, I would hurry up and go to Shibayama to chop some firewood.

I went back to the house bitterly, and the porridge in the pot was also cold, and it was hot and hot again, but it was just warmed up and the fire stopped.

The broken pottery bowl was filled with porridge, and I was afraid of pain, so I only drank it slowly with my small mouth open, and I drank two bowls in a row to get full, and I washed the bowl in the wooden barrel and rested for a long time before I felt lighter on my body, and sighed, sure enough, food is the best prescription for treating pain.

Struggling to get up, let the two of them lie down on the kang first, and go to return the wood knife they borrowed from the neighbor's house, the Chinese have a saying called 'borrow and return, and it is not difficult to borrow again'.

Lying on the kang, listening to their snoring in my ears, I closed my eyes and said in my heart, this day is really tiring!
