Chapter 4: Broken Bones
Huo Dingzhi squatted on the ground and watched with interest as Pu Cao sharpened the two-foot firewood knife with a long bow and a straight blade. Thinking that he would be able to reach Geman Town by half a day's road, the master of the farm yard asked him to find an old farmer in Geman Town, and it is said that one mu of millet is thirty or forty catties more than others. If this old farmer is invited to Anlan Academy, the master of the farm will have to owe him two catties of good wine. Tasting the good wine of the masters, the black boy in front of him sharpened his knife and became pleasing to the eye.
There is a fixed number of fate gathering, and when I take this black boy to Sanduoji for a good meal, it is time to hurry in the afternoon.
"Pu Cao'er, sharpen your knife every day, it seems that you still have to find our Cao Boss theory, hahaha, do you have the courage of the kiln sister of Chunfeng Building." A rough voice came, causing a group of people around him to burst into laughter.
Five or six men walked into Huo Dingzhi's sight, dressed in gray and yellow short suits, with their chests open, and the leader had weeds in his mouth, revealing a bush of thick chest hair. The forearm of the right hand was tattooed with a pitch-black rudder, and an iron oar was a few sizes smaller, and the head of the oar was open on three sides, shining in the sunlight.
Pu Cao stopped sharpening the knife, got up and stood, his face was tense, he held the firewood knife tightly, and said to the visitor with a dumb voice: "Zhang Laosi, before I go to find Cao Cripple, you must ask the Bodhisattva to bless the Lei Cripple from illness and disaster." ”
The strong man named Zhang Laosi shook off the weeds in his mouth, pulled out the oars behind his back, and made a throat-cutting motion at the grass viciously. "Stinky boy, Boss Lei only asked you to get out of more than three episodes, it seems that you haven't learned a lesson yet, I won't kill you today, let you taste the taste of this stinky mouth being torn apart first."
With a wave of his hand, the accompanying man came up and pressed Pucao, who struggled desperately on both legs and rubbed up a layer of dirt ash. After all, he was small in strength, and was caught by a few men, facing Zhang Laosi's face and leaning back, Zhang Laosi didn't say a word, picked up the oars and smashed them into Pucao's mouth.
The expected bloody and blurry picture did not appear, a strong hand grabbed Zhang Laosi's wrist and twisted it downward, only to hear the crisp sound of fractures and the dull sound of the iron oar falling to the ground. Look at Zhang Laosi's rudder tattoo collapsed in half, and his left hand held the half-hung forearm of his right hand, letting out a howl like killing a pig.
The Han hurriedly took off the iron oars and attacked Huo Dingzhi.
Three or five times, there was a piece of ground lying on the ground.
"Now I'll ask you to answer, and if you say the wrong thing, I'll break off one of your fingers." Huo Dingzhi stepped on Zhang Laosi's throat, couldn't even howl, rolled his eyes so much that he couldn't care about the pain in his hands, and nodded again and again to signal Huo Dingzhi to let go of his feet.
"Why do you put such a heavy hand on a child?" Huo Dingzhi shouted angrily.
"It's Boss Cao, it's Boss Cao who makes us threaten this kid every day. Boss Cao occupies his house, and in order to avoid trouble, let's force this kid away. Zhang Laosi didn't dare to hide it, and opened the history of a dock bully sentence by sentence.
Cao Lao's name is Cao Zheng, who was originally a sergeant of Jingguo, but later violated military regulations and was kicked out of the barracks and wandered to more than three episodes. Seeing the prosperity of more than three episodes, I looked for some livelihood at the dock. At that time, Pucao's father Ji Cheng was the big boss of the wharf, in charge of more than 100 sailors and porters, Ji Cheng was upright and fair, and took a group of bitter haha to this Mingyunjiang to beg for a living. Relying on the water draft, Ji Cheng is familiar with the maritime merchants who come and go, but all the matters that want to go to sea, transport goods, and transfer ships, Ji Cheng can basically solve them, and the work is also reassuring. Ji Cheng saw that Cao Zheng had martial arts and acted boldly and neatly, so he invited his subordinates to be in charge of overseas business matters. In a few years, on the Sanduoji water transportation line, it also broke out a well-known reputation. In the year Pu Cao was born, Cao Zhengxin swore that everything was arranged properly, and he persuaded Ji Cheng to go to the South China Sea in person. Ji Cheng didn't resist the temptation, and landed himself on the treacherous sea line, and when Cao Zheng came back, he also became Cao Cripple.
Zhang Laosi also confessed that once Cao Zheng was drunk and hugged several brothers, saying that this lame leg was given by Ji Cheng. Cao Zheng wanted to open up a route to resell Nanyi women, but Ji Cheng refused to allow it, so he started on the spot at the banquet and cut Cao Zheng's hamstrings during the dispute. Cao Zheng pretended to be subservient and secretly colluded with the head of the South China Sea to slaughter a boatload of people. After coming back, he cleaned up a few thorns on the dock by means, became the big boss of the dock, and sold the Yiren woman to Middle-earth as a prostitute and servant even more unscrupulously. In order to take revenge on Ji Cheng, he forced Ji Cheng's wife to death, occupied Ji Cheng's house, and instructed a group of subordinates to torture Pucao to death, and get distorted pleasure from Pucao's suffering.
Huo Dingzhi will not have to deal with a group of broken households, and let them get out of the way if they ask about it.
Watching Zhang Laosi and the others flee from the grass hut with crutches, Huo Dingzhi felt very uncomfortable. raised his eyes to look at the black boy and sighed lightly, this matter is just a dark corner of the world, but he ignored it at the beginning, and it is not Huo Dingzhi's character.
"Would you like to learn a skill?" Huo Dingzhi thought, anyway, Pu Cao is a martial arts embryo, if he is introduced into the martial arts department of Anlan Academy to survive for a few years, how to see his creation in the future, and also calculate the good fate of a pot of crucian carp soup.
"Kill Cao Cripple and talk about it." Pucao didn't realize what kind of chance was in front of him.
"You are alone, and you have no extraordinary skills, how can you kill Cao Cripple, maybe you will be killed before you get close."
"This firewood knife is Cao Cripple's family that smashed my leg bones casually, I was only six years old that year, three broken leg bones, I crawled and begged on the street, but fortunately I was young, Jidongtou kind Lang Zhong took the bone for me, and finally survived. It's been seven years, and my leg bone has been broken five times by Cao Cripple, and I will remember that pain for the rest of my life. If I don't kill Cao Cripple, I will not be willing to do so in this life. I've seen that every time there is a new Yiren sister in the Chunfeng Building, Cao Cripple will be the first to occupy it, and he will always be alone. Even if this leg is broken ten more times, as long as I live, I will always find a chance. ”
"Can the cripple Cao let you grow up? Maybe one day you will throw your body on the street, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, it is better to learn the skills and then settle the account. ”
"I'm not a gentleman, I'll spend one more day in torment, I'll kill him."
"This is not a place to stay for a long time, I advise you to settle down elsewhere first, and only if you survive can you have a chance to take revenge."
"A ship will come from the South China Sea later this month, and when the time comes, I will sneak into the Chunfeng Tower in advance and try to kill him by all means."
Huo Dingzhi thought for a while, "I see that you are eager for revenge, and pass on your set of mental methods, you get up every morning according to the law, you can consolidate the foundation of Peiyuan and strengthen your body, and after practice, ordinary three or five men should not be your opponents, idiot, the obsession is too heavy and easy to move your heart, I hope you will do it yourself." ”
Pucao made a deep bow, "Thank you, sir, for your mercy."
Huo Dingzhi thought about it for a while, and passed on the "forging decision" practiced by the military trainee students to Pu Cao, who had a good understanding and immediately practiced according to Huo Dingzhi's decision.
This week, Huo Dingzhi was scared a lot.
