Chapter 9: Street Fights

New Year's greetings are a traditional custom, a way for people to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and to express good wishes to each other.

New Year's greetings generally start at home. On the morning of the first day of the new year, after the younger generation gets up, they should first greet the elders and wish them a long and healthy life. After the elders are worshipped, the New Year's money prepared in advance will be distributed to the younger generations.

After greeting the elders in the family, people should also congratulate the New Year with a smile on their faces when they go out, and exchange auspicious words such as Wishing you prosperity, good luck in the four seasons, and happy new year, and neighbors or relatives and friends also visit each other to greet the New Year or invite each other to drink and entertain.

Unconsciously, Liu Xiu has been back in ancient times for half a year, and he has also ushered in the first New Year in his life. In the ancestral hall of the Liu family in Nanyang County, many people were wearing new clothes, eating coveted snacks, and cheering and laughing, but Liu Xiu was grabbed by Liu Chong, the Marquis of Anzhong, and walked in the crowd.

Originally, it was a happy thing to have a red envelope, but this rule that you have to bend down and salute when you meet people is simply fatal. An hour later, Liu Xiu collapsed on the recliner, only feeling that he inhaled less and exhaled more, and his life was short.

"Uncle Wen, the second uncle is here, he is very rich, let's go over and pay him a New Year's greeting."

"My waist is about to break, if you want a red envelope, you can go by yourself." Just followed An Zhonghou Liu Chong around, Liu Xiu has already gained a lot, not bad for such a red envelope, he rested for a while, he was going to slip away but found that the gate was looked at by the clansmen, and anyone who wants to leave must have the consent of Zongzheng Liu Chong.

Liu Xiucai lazily paid attention to this regulation, the door couldn't get out, and I could climb over the wall.

If it's decided, let's go straight to work. The waist and horse integration that had been practiced hard some time ago finally came in handy, Liu Xiu walked to the position with few people leisurely, and as soon as his feet exerted his strength, people came to the outside of the wall.

"Grandpa, look, there's a little brother who can fly off the wall."

The boy who shouted was called Zhu You, three years younger than Liu Xiu, his grandfather was also a member of the Liu family in Nanyang County, and he moved to Fuyang County in his early years because of some changes, but he would return to Chungling to gather with his relatives during the New Year's holidays.

Before today, maybe the elders didn't have much impression of Liu Xiu, but since they bowed with Liu Chong, the Marquis of An Zhong, and all their relatives, most people have remembered Liu Xiu, a young man who has a lot of weight in Zong Zheng's heart.

"Uncle Wen, why did you climb over the wall?"

Need a reason to circumvent the wall? If needed, Liu Xiu could only say that he was practicing his skills, and let everyone watch it, and he would comment on his martial arts later.

Climbing over the wall again and returning to the ancestral hall, Liu Xiu had a dog's expression, and no one was happy.

The banquet lasted from noon to evening, the whole process was to eat and drink and then brag, and then to drink and eat. Liu Xiugan stayed up for a day, and finally waited until the banquet was dispersed and mixed in the team to go to the Qinglou, but Zhu You, a bastard boy, appeared again.

"Grandpa, look, which little brother at noon is going to follow the other big brothers to do bad things."

An Zhonghou Liu Chong took Liu Xiu out of the crowd, and it was a while.

Listening to the discussions of the surrounding relatives and looking at the mocking smiles of the two brothers Liu Yan and Liu Jia, Liu Xiuqiang resisted the urge to kill Zhu You, and silently recited in his heart: "The world is so beautiful, but I am so irritable, this is not good, it is not good." ”

With a restless mood, Liu Xiu reluctantly returned home, and in the cold weather, he took a cold shower for himself to barely dispel the murderous anger in his heart and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Liu Xiu got up and practiced her fists and feet in the yard as usual.

When the sun was on the third pole, Liu Yan and Liu Jia woke up from their sleep, and they pointed at the side without eating, making it clear that they were looking for trouble.

"Don't chirp crookedly on the side, and if you don't accept it, you will come down and do it." Hearing Liu Xiu's declaration of war, Liu Yan and Liu Jia glanced at each other, as if to say whether you are here or I am coming.

Their contemptuous attitude made Liu Xiu very unhappy, and they picked up the wooden stick and started the war directly, Liu Yan and Liu Jia didn't notice for a while that they were in a hurry by this simple and rough offensive method, but just when Liu Xiu was proud, Liu Yan and Liu Jia also put down their self-esteem, picked up the stick on the side and began to fight back.

The final trend of the incident is very certain, Liu Xiu was beaten up and down by Liu Yan and Liu Jia, and her whole body hurt a lot.

"You two bastards, I'll chop you up, master." Liu Xiu was beaten out of the real fire, and the ghost sent his artifact - the firewood knife.

"Don't run, I'm going to kill you today."

At a glance, the two brothers Liu Yan and Liu Jia hurriedly rushed out of the door, and on the way, they accused each other of being too ruthless, which made Liu Xiu's disappointment crazy again, and looking at the expressions and behaviors of the two of them at the moment, if it wasn't for Liu Xiu chasing them behind with a firewood knife, they would definitely find a place to fight alone.

There was a lot of noise in the yard just now, but now that lunch was ready, Liu Fan came out but couldn't see Liu Xiu and the three brothers, so he asked Liu Zhong on the side about the dynamics of Liu Xiu's three brothers. Liu Zhong didn't intend to hide this matter, and said in 1510: "Liu Yan and Liu Jia's two brothers beat Uncle Wen early in the morning, Uncle Wen was not convinced, and he carried a firewood knife and said that he was going to chop them, and now he is chasing them all over the street." ”

Liu Fan's heart suddenly felt so tired, maybe if these three brothers died like that, the world would stop, as for who died and who lived, let the lord decide.

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Xiu is carrying a firewood knife, shouting all over the street, treating him as a plague god on the road, hearing the shouting from afar, he hurriedly gave way, but chasing and chasing, Liu Xiu still chased people away, just when he was about to give up and go home, a cry for help came.

"Uncle Wen, someone robbed me of my New Year's money, come and help me." Following the shout, Liu Xiu found that it was Zhu You, the little guy, who was bullied by a few young men. Liu Xiu had a grudge against Zhu You, the little guy, so he didn't bother to deal with this matter, but he was stopped just a few steps away.

"I heard that you have received a lot of New Year's money this year, take it out to honor us."

was already holding back a bad stomach, Liu Xiu was already thankful that he didn't trouble others, but now someone actually came to trouble him, Liu Xiu didn't say a word and went straight to work, in addition to kicking the thin guy in front of him, he also used the back of a firewood knife to hit the head of another big man and broke the blood.

"Master doesn't have time to play robbery games with you, hurry up and get out of me."

The thin guy and the big man were obviously also stubborn, they both bled out, and they also picked up the guy and Liu Xiugan on the side.

In this back and forth, all three of them were injured, and their bodies were covered in blood, but no one was convinced.

"There's a kind of don't go, we'll call someone now." The robber said cruelly, but Liu Xiu didn't coax it, and said loudly: "Master, I won't go anywhere, I'm afraid you won't dare to come." ”

"The boy surnamed Zhu, you hurry up and call someone at my house."
