10. Acquaintance (II)

Explain about the title of the book, "Golden Finger" is not only to say that the author wants to open the modifier, but also a reason for the protagonist to explain his whimsical ideas, just as Li Bai's poem said "The immortal strokes my top, knots the hair and receives immortality", Lu Dongbin has a golden finger that turns stone into gold in the legend, so the protagonist is "The immortal touches my top, and the hair is knotted and receives the golden finger". In addition, because of the contract with the starting point, it is difficult to change the title of the book, so please forgive me if you have different opinions about the title. In addition, thanks to the correction of the book friend fighting, I changed all the titles of the protagonist's eldest young master to "Da Lang" in order to conform to the folk customs of the time. Finally, I will continue to ask for votes and recommendations from all of you. )

"Shut up!" Zhao and Ju snorted, the master's power in the past two months was especially there, and Li Ye thought of those whips, and immediately fell silent.

"Ask for your name?"

Zhao and Ju avoided the other party's edge and asked him about his origin instead. The young man who looked at the melon was not surprised, the human and material evidence was there, he expected that Zhao and Ju would not be able to reverse, so he pouted and said: "My surname is Huo Ming Chongcheng, and Huojiazhuang five miles away is my home." ”

The young man surnamed Huo is also smart, although he knows that the Zhao family is just a side branch of the clan that does not even have a virtual lord, but he only dares to call himself a junior master in front of Li Ye, but not in front of Zhao Heju. Zhao Youju nodded, and then smiled slightly, his smile was extremely surprised when he saw Li Ye's eyes, because in his impression, Zhao Youju didn't seem to be able to smile.

"Did he use this basket to steal melons?" Zhao Yoju asked again.

Huo Chongcheng originally wanted to nod, but his eyes glanced at the basket, and he suddenly realized in his heart, he was so risky to be fooled, although he didn't know much, but his surname was known, and the bamboo basket containing the melon had a Huo character written on it, which was clearly from his Huo family, how could Li Ye steal this basket first and then steal the melon! This Zhao Heju is really a little clever, first ask his surname clearly, and then mention this basket, so as not to deny himself. Thinking about this, Huo Chongcheng's nod turned into a shake: "This basket belongs to our family, and he was empty-handed when he stole it." ”

"Huo Chongcheng, who saw him stealing melons?" Zhao Youju asked again.

Huo Chongcheng glanced back at his attendant, and a Zhuang Ding understood, and walked out with his chest protruding: "I saw it!" ”

Zhao Youju nodded: "My Zhao family has strict family rules, Li Ye, and I will follow the second family rule." ”

Li Ye's whole body trembled, and then he stubbornly said: "The second article of the family rules, for the wrongdoer, the cane will be beaten twenty times and sent to the official." ”

In the past two months, they have been reciting family rules every day, so they have long been familiar with each other, and Zhao Heju can blurt out an answer as soon as he asks. After reciting, he just wanted to plead, but was swept away by Zhao and Ju Bingbing's gaze, and the words begging for mercy were blocked back again.

"If this person named Li Ye steals your melon, it will be a crime, and he will be beaten with a cane and sent to the government, what do you think?" Zhao Heju turned to Huo Chongcheng again.

"That's how it should be." Huo Chongcheng nodded vigorously.

"Come on, tie up Li Ye." Zhao Heju shouted to his own Zhuang Ding again: "Please come out with the wooden staff that implements the family law." ”

Zhao Ziyue immediately pulled Li Ye over, he didn't need to tie him up at all, because the Huo family had already tied him up when they brought Li Ye. The other family returned to the house, and it didn't take long for him to take out a wooden cane, which was painted with white paint and was as thick as a wrist, and Huo Chongcheng was also stunned: Hit this wooden cane twenty, I am afraid that I will be killed on the spot, and there is no need to send it to the official.

He came to cut the face of Zhao and Ju, but he didn't come to make a life and death feud, but the young man was thin-skinned, and although he knew that it was not good, he couldn't say soft words.

"I still have something I want to ask this big brother Zhuang Ding to help with." When Zhao Zi said that he and another Zhuang Ding knocked down Li Ye, who was so frightened that he was crying, Zhao and Ju drank them again, and turned to the Huo family Zhuang Ding who claimed to have seen Li Ye stealing melons: "In order to convince this Li Ye, can you give a live demonstration of how he stole melons at that time?" ”

That Zhuang Ding glanced at Huo Chongcheng, and saw that he didn't say anything against it, so he learned to hold the melon like a thief, and he learned it vividly, but he encountered trouble when he picked up the melon. Huo Chongcheng said that Li Ye stole melons empty-handed, but the melons are all round, five big melons, holding three is the limit, the fourth is reluctant, and the fifth can't hold it anyway.

"This big brother Zhuang Ding is an adult, and he can't pick up five melons, how can this little guy in my family have short hands and arms, how can he steal these five melons?" Zhao Youju sneered and looked at Huo Chongcheng: "Huo Chongcheng, do you still want to say that he stole your family's melon?" ”

Huo Chongcheng's face was ugly for a while, he scratched his head vigorously, he didn't expect that he was careless for a while, but he left such a big flaw.

When he came to Xingshi to ask about the crime, he thought that it was difficult to convince people without evidence, so he asked Zhuang Ding to pick melons to prove that he was a melon, if it was just a melon, it would inevitably appear that he was a child, so he connected five melons, which became his biggest loophole. After a while, he laughed again: "That's it, I lost this time, but this little guy of yours is a fugitive slave, I will return him to you today, and I will bring five cold melons, which is considered an apology for my offense." ”

This Huo Chongcheng is interesting, a young man of this age, few can afford to let go like him. Zhao Youju bowed slightly, and bowed his hand in the appearance of an adult: "Since this is the case, then thank you, Brother Huo is easy to go." ”

Huo Chongcheng pouted, looking very disdainful of Zhao Heju's little adult appearance, he turned over his little donkey, and then waved his hand to the Zhuang Ding who followed: "Let's go, let's go, it's interesting today, Daddy will have something to say when he comes back!" ”

Seeing Huo Chongcheng like this, Zhao Heju was even more surprised in his heart, he took two steps forward, lowered his steps and saluted: "Brother Huo! ”

Calling a twelve-year-old child "Brother Huo", Zhao Youju is used to this, just as the people around him are gradually getting used to his differences, he is also getting used to this era.

Huo Chongcheng turned around and said, "What else is going on?" ”

From Zhao and Ju's titles, Huo Chongcheng judged that Zhao and Ju were not hostile, so he also showed kindness in his reply. Except for teenagers of the same age, there are few that he can look at, but it is this Zhao and Ju who made him return with a feather, which impressed him. Therefore, he responded very softly, with a smile on his face.

"If you have some free time, you might as well come here to play." After a slight hesitation, Zhao Heju smiled dumbly, he actually had a friendship with this twelve-year-old boy, could it be said that he was used to this seven-year-old body, and he actually wanted to find a playmate like a child of this age?

"You're so sulking, what's there to play, let's talk about it later." Huo Chongcheng was also not polite, he waved his hand: "If I am bored, I will come to you to play tricks." ”

He took a few dogs with ordinary people and left Yuzhang Villa noisily all the way. After seeing them go away, Zhao Youju turned his face and looked at Li Ye for the first time.

Li Ye hung his head, and he didn't dare to breathe, although Zhao Youju cleared him of stealing, but he knew in his heart that the matter would not end there. Zhao and Ju have not yet investigated the matter of his escape, not to mention that he has also attracted right and wrong for the master's family.

He can imagine his own end, rebuke and sell. Although he felt that it was wrong to leave Yuzhang Villa before, after this incident, he already regretted it a little.
