Chapter 3: He Cao (4)
、、、、、、、
The stirrups seemed to be frosty, and Li Yuan stepped on them twice in succession, and his boots slipped out of the stirrup. A pro-soldier stepped forward quickly, but he pushed him down. The third time, he simply didn't step on the stirrup, and climbed onto the horse by pulling the brown hair on the horse's neck. The good horse from the Turks was pulled by the master and roared, and it took most of the circle to stabilize his body. Filled with shame, Li Yuan slapped his mount and rushed to the south of the city after Mai Tiezhu and the others.
"Brothers, look at how the big man cleans up this kid!" McJack stepped forward and shouted at the soldiers.
"Let's go, let's see the excitement!" The five hundred soldiers of the government clamored in unison, and went to the school field to cheer for their own coach with great momentum. The grain guards also refused to show weakness, and followed closely in a line. Compared with the two, their neat military appearance is more neat. Everyone knew that Liu Hongji had no chance of winning, but his challenge to the iron rod was purely to stand up for the brothers. Therefore, the brethren of the grain army would rather watch him be knocked off his horse with an iron rod than to have a last prestige for him.
"Brother Zhongjian, do you think Brother Liu can win?" Li Shimin chased after Li Xu and asked uneasily. Liu Hongji was in order to settle the matter, so he did not hesitate to take the risk to challenge the Mai Tiecane, which he saw very clearly. But is it too costly? Why didn't my father do his best to stop this unwinnable contest? Li Shimin only felt that his head was swollen, and it was clear that the answer was in front of him, but he couldn't grasp the key.
"Brother Liu will definitely win!" Li Wan'er answered loudly for Li Xu. The tenacity shown by her father at the last moment when she got on the horse made her feel very uncomfortable, in recent years, the Li family has turned from prosperity to decline, and her father has endured something.
The noisy intersection returned to its original tranquility in a blink of an eye, and the flow of people dispersed, and the surrounding people quietly pushed the door a little away, probing their heads to observe the movement outside. The reason for the fights is not very clear and they don't care much. But God bless the soldiers and uncles to change places and do not let everyone suffer from the pond fish.
"Dad, whose house is that, why did you smash people like that!" A middle-aged woman pointed to Qin Ziying's door against the crack in her door, and asked in a low voice.
"Old Qin's family, it is said that he is still an official!" The head of the household, covered in patches, replied with a sigh. The ugly wife and the near place are the treasures of the family, looking at what happened to the Qin family, he is even more convinced of the aphorisms passed down from mouth to mouth.
"The eldest brother of the Qin family seems to be still there! Over there! Behind the husband and wife, the child pointed to the empty center of the street and said.
Only then did the two of them notice that there was a man standing in the middle of the street, like a lost soul, swaying towards the broken gate. At the door, the little lady of the Qin family, who rarely showed up, stood against the door, as if looking forward to waiting for her husband to go home.
Home, Qin Ziying walked to his smashed door step by step, his hands were clenched all the time, and his nails had been pierced into his palms but he didn't realize it. Qin Ziying hated, he hated why he only cared about studying in the early years and didn't practice some martial arts. Otherwise, it was he who invited the old thief to fight today, not Liu Hongji, who had nothing to do with this matter.
"Child!" He Ruomei shouted in a low voice. There were times when she naively thought that the nightmares were over. But I didn't expect that since this nightmare came, I would follow me for the rest of my life.
Qin Ziying didn't answer, lowered her head and picked up the gravel and wood at the door of the house piece by piece and threw it to the corner of the wall. This is his home, and others can throw things at the door, but he can't. There were a few rocks that were too big for him to handle. He swayed as he lowered the stone, and then staggered and lifted the stone, little by little, to move aside the waste that was blocking the doorway.
The wind swept the remnants of winter snow through the treetops, and the whistling sound was full of despair. This winter is coming to an end, and the sun is slowly starting to brighten. It's just those frosted stumps, I don't know if there is a chance to wait until the branches are full again.
"Ziying, I'm sorry!" He Ruomei choked up and said. The humiliation of Mai Tiecane is sad, but what hurts people even more is Yuwenshu's provocative words. 'Fight for a prostitute but don't want a future', I originally thought that marriage was two knots that accompanied each other until Hao's head, but I didn't expect that there were so many constant entanglements.
Hearing his wife's sobbing, Qin Ziying came back to her senses a little. straightened his waist, stretched out his hand to straighten He Ruomei's long hair that was blown by the cold wind, and comforted in a low voice: "Don't cry, let's buy another one when the door is smashed." Let's find someone to repair the house. When the battle is over, let's move back to the right side of the ridge! ”
"Ziying, I didn't expect you to pay so much!" He Ruomei finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell on her husband's shoulder and cried bitterly. The Qin family will be ashamed of this! But what did you do to hurt others?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she said incoherently, not knowing what she was doing wrong and why God had been so unfair to her.
"Mei'er, it's okay, it's okay. They won't come again, Brother Liu will definitely win, definitely! Qin Ziying gently patted his wife's back, and her heart hurt like a knife.
Liu Hongji has little hope of winning, and although Qin Ziying doesn't know martial arts, he also knows it. Although he was old, the prestige of half his life was not for nothing. Thinking that this person had single-handedly killed more than 30 bandits unharmed, the entire Great Sui was shaken. A person's strength may weaken as they get older, but their combat experience tends to grow stronger over time.
Hearing her husband mention Liu Hongji, He Ruomei slowly stopped crying. Now is not the time to vent grievances, others go to compete for their husbands, and the husbands shrink their heads at home. Compared with a gentle and considerate husband, she hopes that Qin Ziying is a strange man who dares to act. The Qin family should not be ashamed of this, they will be proud of their children one day.
Raising her head, He Ruomei looked at Qin Ziying's slightly thin shoulders again, and persuaded in a low voice: "You go and cheer for Brother Liu, I'll clean up here!" ”
"Mer! I ......" Qin Ziying wanted to say a never-ending word to reassure his wife, but her lips were gently pressed by a soft yi.
"I know you!" He Ruomei had tears on her smiling face, "It's like you know me!" Go ahead, I've steamed the pastries and I'm waiting for you to come back! ”
The figures of the two husbands and wives slowly disappeared behind the broken gate, and after a while, a horse appeared at the gate, and a man on horseback galloped quickly out of the city.
"Hey, these days, there are still people bullying you when you are young!" In the wind, someone has a low evaluation.
