Chapter 31: Hitting the Child

Li Zongqi Li Ji stopped his mount when he arrived at the door of his house, hurriedly turned over and dismounted and slapped the door directly, slammed it a few times, and the courtyard door opened from the inside.

Seeing that it was the eldest son Li Ying who opened the door, Li Zongqi breathed a sigh of relief, and without waiting for Li Ying, who was a little stunned, to greet him, he first asked, "Is everything okay at home?" ”

This question made Li Ying continue to be stunned, and hurriedly replied: "The family is fine, my mother and younger brother and sister are all fine." ”

Hearing this, Li Jicai, who was still tense, completely relaxed, showed a somewhat tired expression on his face, waved his hand and said, "Go and tie the horse, get some food, and run back in the morning!" ”

Li Ying hurriedly walked out of the door, and shouted before going out: "Dad is back!" ”

Hearing this, the Li family ran out of the house, the youngest daughter Li Chunhua ran a few steps and threw herself into Li Zongqi's arms to be coquettish, Li Zongqi also responded with a smile, Li He was full of excitement, and when he got closer, he spoke.

"Dad, as soon as you are not in our hundred households, these hundred households will be turned upside down, and then Zhu Da is even more reckless!"

"What's going on?"

"Everyone slept well last night, and I don't know what happened, the dog barked a few times, the kid of the Zhu family didn't know what was wrong, he came to knock on the door at night and asked us to knock on the bang, so that the whole hundred households didn't sleep all night, and the next day the son found them to theorize, but the kid actually dared to hit someone, Dad, my arm hurts again!" Li He said with added oil and vinegar.

Li Chunhua's eyes widened in Li Zongqi's arms, it was the first time she heard this, Li Chunhua's two brothers were older than her own children, so she naturally had no face to talk about at home.

"Zhu Dan, that poor boy, actually dares to bully the second brother, Dad, you have to beat him hard!" Li Chunhua shouted angrily.

Hearing this, Li Zongqi put down the girl in his arms, stared at Li He and asked, "Is it Zhu Da who came over and called you to knock on the bangzi?" ”

"Yes, my eldest brother and I were frightened at the time, and thought something was wrong, so we hurriedly rang, but the next day I knew that I was bluffed by that kid, Dad, this kid doesn't know how thick the sky is now, if you don't clean it up, you may not be able to toss something next time, what if the thief really comes next time!" Li He took another step closer.

General Banner Li Ji nodded and asked in a muffled voice, "What will you do next time?" ”

"Next time? Next time, my son will definitely not be so stupid, sleep a lot, and ignore him! Li He said with a grin.

As soon as his voice fell, he saw his own father Li Zongqi raise his arm, which was not like a thumbs up and praise, but a prelude to a slap.

The military attache of the guard has never been reasonable in disciplining the children at home, and they are all directly beaten, and Li He has been beaten a lot, and his body has shrunk subconsciously.

Li Zongqi moved halfway, but when he saw Li He's inconvenient shoulder, the slap that he wanted to slap stopped in mid-air, sighed, and then put it down, then raised and grabbed Li He, stared at him and said: "You listen to Lao Tzu, what will Zhu Da let you do next time, you listen to me obediently!" ”

"Dad, why are you beating the second brother for an outsider!" Li Chunhua, who was on the side, screamed and said, she is qualified to say this in the Li family.

While talking, Li Zongqi's wife and eldest son Li Ying rushed over, and when they saw this scene in the house, they were all confused, and they hurried back in such a hurry, just to beat their children? Li Ying was even more confused, staring at his younger brothers and sisters, of course Li He and Li Chunhua didn't dare to say it.

Li Ying sent a bowl of hot water here, and Li Ji, the general banner, drank it in a big gulp, and then sat down, and his wife Li Ding said angrily: "The children are in trouble with each other, but you can't beat your own children, and you can't help your own people, and you can't help outsiders if you don't help yourself......."

"You know what! The reason why I rushed back in such a hurry is because two families in Xiama Village were washed in blood, one is the 100 households in charge, the other is the salt seller, Wang Baihu you have seen, none of the one left at home, the two female relatives do not know whether they are alive or dead, nine times out of ten they were taken away, the others were all killed, the three-year-old children did not run away, and the whole family of the salt dealer was killed cleanly......

Zongqi Li Ji interrupted his wife's anger, and roared in the hall and said, Hearing this, the other people's faces turned pale, and the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, and Li Ying and Li He's bodies trembled even more.

“...... Knowing that he was afraid, the old king also said that there are many dogs barking in our village, and the thieves dare not enter the village, they are idle and have nothing to toss, but the next day the village came to report the funeral, and the thieves washed two villages in a row last night, and more than a dozen people died, and the house was robbed, and these thieves were killed, and they attacked the military attache and the salt dealers......"

“...... Now think about it, thanks to the kid of the Zhu family who was vigilant and played up, so that the thieves outside did not know the truth and did not dare to come in for fear of trouble, otherwise, we Baihu may be the first to suffer, even if it did not suffer that night, it would be a disaster the night before, you two rabbit cubs still toss what next time you don't listen, what Zhu Da says, you all have to listen, he saved your life, do you know! ”

Li Ji was very excited and angry, but everyone knew that he was afraid, the night before seemed to be fine, but it was extremely dangerous, if it was the same as ordinary night, the thieves would definitely touch into the village to act recklessly, and the target must be Li Zongqi's family and Xiang's family, because the one with more money in these hundred households is Zhuangtou Zongqi and the salt dealer's two families, if they really want to come in, their own family will definitely not be able to run, how can they not be afraid.

"I heard the movement in Xiama Village, but I didn't knock on the bang in advance, and there was no emergency at this time, and the whole village was afraid to move, thanks to Zhu Da's preparation in advance, the thieves were scared...... You know how frightened I am, and in the morning I rode back to ......."

Everyone in the room was frightened, Li Ding recited the Buddha there, Li Ying and Li He's faces were pale, and they all looked a little unstoppable, who would have thought that the night before was so dangerous, it was really on the edge of life and death, only Li Chunhua was there to look back and forth inexplicably, but he was also frightened by the atmosphere in the room and didn't dare to speak.

The more Li Zongqi spoke, the more angry he became, pointing at Li Ying and Li He and shouting: "You two bastards, go and apologize to Zhu Da, others saved our whole family, do you know no, you are still there stupid, go quickly, politely apologize, if there is any etiquette, Lao Tzu will break your legs!" ”

Yesterday went to the door to provoke and was beaten, in the morning to catch fish and was seen, now to go to the door to apologize, the Li family brothers immediately bitter face, this is too embarrassing, or in front of the whole village to embarrass people, just about to explain and plead, but saw the general flag Li Ji touched out the horsewhip, the two did not dare to delay, quickly went out.

When the two sons went out, Li Zongqi leaned back, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and muttered again: "But it scared me." ”

"In charge, our family is the chief flag official, and Zhu Da is a soldier's child, why bother to be so polite to him and make the two children embarrassed." Li Ding complained that the military attaches of the Wei Institute were all married to each other, and Li Ding was also born in the Wei Institute, not an ignorant woman in the countryside.

"Zhu Da is only twelve years old now, he has such insight, and he will have it in the future, such a character will have a great future in the future, our family is close to them, and it will definitely be beneficial in the future." Li Zongqi said very clearly.

The husband and wife glanced at each other, but they both looked at Li Chunhua to the side, his youngest daughter was looked at inexplicably, but she didn't know what was going on.

At this time, Zhu Da was practicing martial arts with Zhou Qingyun, Zhou Qingyun was an idle character, Zhu Da had only been practicing for half an hour, so he dragged Zhu Da to fight, saying that this was the way to practice fast.

If you don't know anything and are bluffed by what he said, Zhu Da has experience, and refused with a smile, the routine is not so proficient that it is subconsciously mastered, and it is not beneficial to the actual combat.

"I've heard someone say an old saying, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime, Qingyun, don't slack off, hurry up and practice!"

Unconsciously, Zhu Da had already established his prestige, although he spoke kindly, but Zhou Qingyun subconsciously felt that he should do it, because Xiang Bodu listened, and the adults in the village felt that it made sense, so of course it could not be ambiguous.

The two of them didn't practice for long, when they heard the sound of banging on the door, Zhou Qingyun immediately stopped and wanted to run over to open the door, and as soon as he moved, he was stopped by Zhu Da, and said very seriously: "Let's not say okay, I'll walk in front of you for something, and you are ten steps behind." ”

Zhou Qingyun patted his head and said with a sneer: "I forgot, what are you doing so carefully in broad daylight!" ”

"We don't pay attention to it usually, and we don't pay attention when it matters." Judah replied.

Because Zhou Qingyun's archery skills are good, he can cover and sneak attack from a distance, Zhu Da made an agreement with Zhou Qingyun, but it was only two days of agreement, Zhou Qingyun has never been a meticulous person, and he has not yet formed a habit.

Before opening the courtyard door, he heard the noise outside, Zhu Da didn't open the door, but first leaned on the crack of the door and looked out, he was not so cautious in his life in those years, but these days Zhu Da is extremely cautious, for fear that a trace of negligence will be lost.

Looking out, Zhu Da turned around with a smile and said, "It's the two brothers of the Li family, and there are a lot of people watching the excitement behind." ”

"Mr. Li didn't come?"

"Didn't come."

"Aren't you back? Don't his brothers dare to come over if they don't call adults? ”

As soon as he heard that Li Zongqi was not coming, Zhou Qingyun immediately grinned, Zhu Da opened the door with a smile, and saw the Li family brothers with strange looks, and also saw the villagers who were watching, compared with yesterday when the Li family brothers were provoking, there were many onlookers at this time, and the gloating look on his face was not hidden.

The smile on Zhu Da's face turned into a sneer, and Zhou Qingyun behind him also coughed as agreed, Zhu Da was not afraid at all, the Li family brothers didn't know how to fight, and they didn't dare to let it go, this time the result would not be much better than yesterday.

Li Ying and Li He took a step forward, Zhu Da retreated to the door, there was a short stick by the door, which could be grabbed at any time, but I didn't expect Li Ying and Li He to bow down and say awkwardly: "Zhu Da, yesterday was our brother, I don't know the hearts of good people, I'm sorry, please don't be surprised!" ”

The onlookers were in an uproar, thinking that the Li brothers were going to take revenge, who would have thought that they would make such a low-voiced apology, and the children of the old man's family of the general banner would give an apology to the military household and the salt dealer's family, is it not right today? There are really people who subconsciously look at the sky.

"It's snowing......"

I don't know who shouted out, everyone looked up, the snow was not big, and it was falling.

With the autumn harvest less than a month away, the first snow was so early.......
