Coming out of Yang Village along the small river behind the village to the east, there is a bridge next to the official road, which runs through the official road and becomes an intersection of the east and west, north and south. To Yang Village on all sides, except for a small turnout along a large farmland in the north, you can only walk from here to Yang Village......

Before Li Hu wrote a notice and sent it to the villages of the township, after Wang Tingchang and the people in the township estimated the distribution, saying how many and how many villages came to apply, and some villages were rushing to come, taking Ding Zhuang from their village.

Wang Xiaoqi didn't know, with more than 20 scoundrels, occupying this side of Yang Village, came early, saw a few sporadic Ding Zhuang, shouted, drove them away, and went up to do it if they didn't go, but unexpectedly, the people behind said that they would come up, and the people who came before in the morning took the people from their own village, and they stretched out their arms and shouted: "It's them." It's them, who won't let them go here, and they will beat their faces if they don't pay attention. ”

Someone recognized Wang Xiaoqi and came up to reason with him: "Little Seventh Brother." Why didn't you let us pass, we didn't provoke you. ”

People are from few to many.

At the beginning, Wang Xiaoqi did not give an inch.

After a few "bangs" with each other, Wang Xiaoqi drew his sword and forced people to retreat. When, someone from their Wangjiagou also came, and it turned out to be an uncle of Wang Xiaoqi who brought Ding Zhuang. Others were afraid of his sword, but his uncle was not afraid, so he came up and drove him home and said, "Little Qi." Who are you standing for? People don't look at your brother's face, and a few sticks will ram you into the river. Wang Xiaoqi looked at it again, there were more than 100 people earlier, standing on the bridge, there were still a handful of people coming, those people didn't know whether they were interested in watching the excitement or the same enemy, and they ran fast all the way. He was a little weak-hearted, and he was a scoundrel, retreating, retreating from the bridge, still blocking him alive and dead, and said to his own uncle: "Li Hu from Yang Village is asking for food, not much, he has no money at all...... He gave ten pennies alone? Do you believe it? His brother Yang Ling said that you still don't believe it, go home. ”

These words not only exposed Yang Lingzi's instructions, but also contained his jealousy. He brought some scoundrels to the countryside for something, but to show prestige, get ahead, and show himself. A young man from a foreign country, it is said that he was picked up by the people of Yang Village on a heavy snowy day, and in less than two months, he was going to open a stone quarry.

Someone theorized: "I worked with Li Hu on the stones of Zhang Changzhu, he had no money at first, but he could paint, and the rich people went to invite him and earned money?" ”

Another person said: "When he went to other places, he relied on this ability to earn a lot of money and came back." ”

Wang Xiaoqi sneered and told: "Yang Jialing said from his brother that the money outside is worthless, and no one will pick up the money. He pulls a cart, not sure if he picked it up. ”

It's strange to believe in people.

They carried stones, and they only had two pennies a day, and they sarcastically said on the spot: "Then you should also pick them up." ”

Li Hu has arrived.

He saw that Li Mandarin Duck and Fang Hai were squeezing inside, tied the horse to a tree along the river, and walked forward in three steps and two steps.

Someone shouted: "Li Hu is here." ”

They were willing to make way for Li Hu, and said in their mouths: "Wang Xiaoqi is blocking the way, don't let us go to work for you, you can see what to do." ”

But what they said was also very interesting, which was equivalent to saying, Wang Xiaoqi won't let us go, you open a stone quarry, you have to get rid of him quickly.

Li Hu was not angry.

Li Mandarin Duck had already gone in first, and said with a smile: "Then Housheng, who did you say that our owner Li Hu is?" ”

He was born with a good brand, polite and polite, slender figure, handsome face, and a kind of bearing in his gestures, quite a town, and when he asked this, Wang Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment. He suddenly did not admit what he said, and said angrily, "I said it." What's in your way? Where did the thing come from, you want to be beaten, don't you? ”

Fang Hai stood in front of Li Yuanyang, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the sword in Wang Xiaoqi's hand.

The scoundrels moved towards them.

Some Ding Zhuang who fought with them before found excuses such as "don't push me" and "stepped on my feet" to help Li Yuanyang. People say that Li Hu is here, but in fact, they are afraid that they will really fight hard. When Li Hu came up, Wang Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, he had an impression, but he didn't put it in his heart.

Li Hu walked in, brushed aside the scoundrel, and went straight to him.

Wang Xiaoqi was surprised, just now he said that he wanted to beat Li Yuanyang, he can be in a group of scoundrels, and he has a fierce reputation, but he didn't expect Li Hu to go straight to him, Fang Hai saw that there were scoundrels who wanted to stand behind Li Hu, and he was nervous, and went up like a sword hidden under his sleeve, don't go up to someone's neck to block people.

Li Yuanyang was also nervous, and while pulling along, he called: "The owner." You come back. Didn't they want to do it, what are you doing so close? ”

Li Hu suddenly announced: "I know Wang Xiaoxia." ”

Wang Xiaoqi does not deny it.

The sword was clenched in the palm of his hand, and he wanted to stab it. This is a very suffocating feeling, just like suppressing him Wang Xiaoqi. Wang Xiaoqi couldn't stand this feeling, he had a hunch that a big obstacle for him to run rampant here in the future would be Li Hu, who was smaller than himself, but had a lot of courage, not only was he very bold, but he also brought an unprecedented pressure to people. The scene was already tense, he Li Hu came over, like him Wang Xiaoqi saw the two juniors fighting, relying on his own prestige, he slapped the person in front of him, and asked the two of them what they were fighting.

Teeth gritted a few times.

He almost couldn't help but stab.

Li Hu stopped in front of him, patted his hand on the shoulder, stared and said, "Xiao Qi." This is not the time for you to mess around. ”

I don't know what's going on, Wang Xiaoqi didn't dare to look at each other, and then felt humiliated, looked up, looked at Li Hu with a slanted face, and wanted to know what this meant, what was it to play, and he was too contemptuous of him, and he was a little annoyed and angry? found that Li Hu reversed his direction, no longer looked at him, and loudly regained his prestige: "Who do you say is joking." Don't you have long eyes? Is this a joke? Whoever goes to work today, Lao Tzu pokes him in a hole. ”

In his path, Li Hu would say, "You stab?!" ”

Then, he really went up and stabbed Li Hu, stabbed Li Hu in a hole, and pulled the scene back, letting people know that he, Wang Xiaoqi, didn't dare.

It's just that he underestimated Li Hu.

There was no anger in Li Hu's voice, but the volume increased.

He said, "I worked in the quarry, and as you all know, I fought with these guys at that time. After speaking, he smiled at Ding Zhuang, who leaned in front of him. But Ding Zhuang had already turned to admire him, and smiled back and said, "That's our stupidity." I don't know if you're doing it for everyone's good, I've figured it out. Li Hu nodded, and said: "I worked in the stone quarry, I can paint, I earn some money, according to the words of the adoptive mother who picked me up, I can paint, I can't be hungry." That's right. Just because I can paint, I can't be hungry, and the village plans to give me a piece of homestead, and it won't be long before I can build a house and marry my daughter-in-law Yang Yanyan. White noodles are eaten at every meal. I don't know if you believe it or not? ”

A few "letters" sounded sporadically.

Li Yuanyang's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked Fang Hai in a low voice: "Why did he say that he married Yanyan?" ”

Li Hu said: "But I don't just want to be full and not hungry, I treat myself as a kind of person, called a scholar." What is a taxi? Can anyone tell me? ”

The villagers were at a loss.

Wang Xiaoqi was also stunned.

What is a taxi?

Literati.

Isn't that what the old men call themselves?

He's too crazy.

Li Hu said lightly: "Yes." What is a taxi? Do you rely on Zongzheng Mansion to evaluate me, no, if you rely on Zongzheng Mansion to evaluate me, I will go to You Bachelor. What do I rely on, rely on the scholar's 'self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world', that is to say, I rely on painting alone to eat white noodles, that's not right, if I am full, I have to benefit the township, so that more people can eat, this is called a scholar. ”

Li Hu said: "I've been thinking about how to feed more people. I went to work in the quarry, and I also took two pennies, and whoever saw me in the quarry could testify to me. Do you support your family on two pennies a day? Do you rely on two pennies a day to eat, take a daughter-in-law, and raise children? Do you rely on two pennies a day to honor your father? No. So what to do? We can't afford to spend two pennies a day, we have to have a way to eat enough. I was thinking, stone tools are also used by many people, why is there no stone tool to make stone tools, sell stone tools to the city, sell to the county, and even sell to Weibo...... Do it beautifully and draw on it. On the way back, I was looking for a stonemason, and I went to Baojun for a trip, staying in the Baojun stone field, looking for the craftsmanship of processing stoneware everywhere, and if it was done, how many pieces would have to be sold. The neighbors around us can earn ten, twenty, one hundred or even one tael of silver or two taels of silver a day, and won't this benefit the township? How many people can make a living from it? Yang Lilangjun, a fellow villager who went with me, knew that we made a few utensils according to my method and sold them for a few hundred taels of silver, which could be used to buy land and a farmhouse, but I didn't, so I exchanged all of them for money and pulled them back. I just thought, I thought, I want to open a stone quarry, I want to let the old and young around me eat enough to eat and live a good life by treating stones, I have money in my pocket, I can marry a daughter-in-law, let my daughter-in-law dress beautifully, raise children, let my children go to school, see good things on the street, buy them home if I want to buy them, and honor my parents......"

None of the villagers in the countryside had ever heard such remarks.

"Eat well, live a good life, have money in your pocket, you can marry a daughter-in-law, let your daughter-in-law dress beautifully, raise a child, let your child go to school, see good things on the street, buy it if you want to buy it, and ...... to honor your parents and honor your parents", these words are not shocking, not moving, but they are touching, making people feel bursts of blood all over their bodies, and some people shed tears on the spot, and the young man was moved to rub the corners of his eyes with both hands.

People are silent.

Li Hu turned his head, stared at Wang Xiaoqi and said, "Do you know why I said you were messing around?" What are you doing? Do you know if ten cents a day is enough to buy a few catties of food? ”

Wang Xiaoqi slowly retreated.

Li Hu said again: "Do you know that your brother also came to me and asked me if I wanted you?" Are you making trouble? Do you know who makes trouble, we will give it to whom? ”

The crowd roared, "Yes." He stopped again. Kill them. ”

The ones behind them began to swarm forward.

Li Hu waved his hand at them, turned his head to stare at Wang Xiaoqi again, and saw Wang Xiaoqi holding his sword, so he went to get it, and asked, "Do you still have a sword?" ”

Wang Xiaoqi somehow let go. Li Hu took the sword in his hand, walked to the railing of the bridge, smashed it on it, threw it into the river with his hand, and asked him: "Do you still remember, you fought with people in Baihe, and the neighbors and towns are helping you, are you relying on a sword or relying on people?" You don't understand, you have been doing nonsense in the township all along, relying on the people of our pavilion, isn't it your broken sword? How good are you? I threw your sword at you, how powerful are you, there are so many fathers and elders present, how many can you win alone? You are still holding a sword and waiting to stab your neighbors, do you think that if you fight in the future and be beaten covered in blood, they will all go up to help you? ”

Li Hu turned his head and glanced at the other scoundrels, who were drilling around.

The more Wang Xiaoqi thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

He finally couldn't hold it back and yelled: "My day is your grandma, Yang Lingzi." You give Lao Tzu money, instigate Lao Tzu, and let Lao Tzu do this? ”

But he was unwilling to be pressed like this by Li Hu, he felt that people were about to flatten, look at the sword in his hand, he was also knocked by others, and threw it on the ice of the river, so he began to take off his clothes, gritted his teeth and said: "I, Wang Xiaoqi, have taken people's money and property, and I have already divided the brothers, so I still have to give someone an explanation." I'll give you a one-on-one fight. According to the rules, win the war, and this matter will pass. You can't win. You have to go up in the crowd and walk over me. ”

Fang Haihai took a step forward: "You don't need our host, I'll come." ”

Li Hu was laughing.

Looking for steps, if you give him steps, he will think that he is a character in the future, and if he wants to step on him, he will step on him, press under his feet, and ignore him at all.

He finally found the feeling of Abba, the feeling of not being alone.

You've been defeated, I'll give you a heads-up, I have nothing to do, are you idle?

Unexpectedly, Fang Hai was afraid that he would fight, so he jumped out.

It's okay, let my buddy fight you, my buddy loses, naturally someone will fight you, see if you give way?

Li Yuanyang was very nervous, pulled up to the sea, pretended to pick up Fang Hai's clothes, and told in his ear: "I'd rather be beaten more than show our Yuyang Wudian, Gongzi can see it." ”

Fang Hai nodded.

He thought about it, he didn't show his martial arts at all, and just changed the fists of the other party to fight each other.

Glancing at Wang Xiaoqi's side, thinking of the hard training in the army, a mouthful of contemptuous spat was sprayed by him next to the soles of his feet.
