After returning to Chenjiazhai, Chen's mother saw her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, and most of her illness had already healed. After the doctor's treatment, he was soon cured.

Xianfeng year, look at the street.

The sons of the poor lined up.

Three strings of leather money waved their hands,

Five strings of leather money compete for a wish.

Needles are sold on the long street of black beans,

Weeds in the river are weighed on the scales.

Man eats man, dog eats dog,

The rats were hungry and gnawed at the nails.

Due to the drought for many years, there was a famine in Pingyu Street and the surrounding prefectures and counties, but the landlords demanded rent and forced debts, and the Qing court's various taxes were still as large as a cow's hair. Many poor people are selling their sons and daughters, and even cannibalism is happening. Although Chen Daxi has a good martial arts, he can't do anything in the face of so many victims.

One day, a merchant came to Chenjiazhai. He said he came from Guangxi. During the chat, I learned from the merchant that many people in Guangxi were rebelling, and a leader named Hong Xiuquan founded the "God Worship Society" to attract believers. And the establishment of the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", the establishment of the "too civilian", strong soldiers, invincible. The Qing Kingdom was about to be destroyed by the Taiping Army. After Chen Daxi heard about it, he felt that he would definitely do something with the Taiping Army in the future, so he came up with the idea of developing a twist in Pingyu, and after the Taiping Army came over, he took the twist to the Taiping Army to have a good future. So the merchant man ate at home and spent the night, and the next morning he personally delivered the man out of the village.

On this day, Chen Daxi came back after sending the merchant back, and saw several people scolding Wang Kexian in the same village, so he came to take a look. It turned out that Wang Kexian rented the land of the landlord Feng Laosi's family, and it happened that Wang Kexian's wife had just fallen ill and died. Feng Laosi was afraid that Wang Kexian would not be able to pay the rent of his family's two copper coins because he buried his wife. So send dog legs to come and forcibly loot. When Wang Kexian's wife was seriously ill, she had already borrowed debts everywhere, and now she has just put a thin coffin on credit to bury her wife, where can she have the money to pay rent?

These dogs are going to pull the king's wife out of the coffin and use the coffin to pay off the debt. Although this Wang Kexian is an honest peasant, the deceased is the biggest, and he has already been put into the coffin, how can he be picked up again? Chen Huiru was also watching, and couldn't help it when he saw this, and also helped Wang Kexian theorize, but he was driven away by a dogleg who scolded and beat him.

Chen Daxi was angry, and returned home and took out two copper coins. Throwing it at the dog's legs, I didn't think about it, but it smashed into the face of a dog's legs, and in an instant the dog's legs were smashed to the ground, and when I looked at it again, the blood flowed and I rolled all over the ground. When the others saw it, they wanted to do it, but they didn't think that Chen Daxi was from a Lian family, and he picked up a stone mill at the door and wanted to smash those people. These individuals looked at it and were amazed. With such a strong effort, you will definitely suffer if you work hard. So he hurriedly picked up the man who fell to the ground, and fled back to Feng Laosi's house like a wild one. Naturally, these few want to add oil and vinegar, say what Chen Daxi said, and dare to spread wild in Chenjiazhai in the future, regardless of whether he Feng Laosi or Zhang Laosi, they will all ask him to stand in and carry him out.

Feng Lao's four landlords, they are used to being powerful and blessed, where can they hear this? ! Immediately angry, he urgently ordered more than a dozen dogs to take the guy to Chenjiazhai to find Chen Daxi to settle accounts. And after Chen Daxi drove away the dog's legs, he guessed that Feng Laosi would send someone, so he also made preparations early. The meteor hammer at home is dead if it is smashed, and it is wasted if it is rubbed. And that hardcore gun doesn't have eyes. Now I have a wife and children, and a wife to support. So, after thinking about it, I went to the village and cut down a tree the thickness of a chicken and broke the branches. Then sit at the head of the village and wait for them to take revenge.

Feng Laosi's doglegs came to the head of Chenjiazhai Village while talking. The beaten dog saw Chen Daxi from a distance, so he pointed and said, "It's him, I have to beat him out of the today!" The dozen or so people brandished a big stick and ran towards Chen Daxi, Chen Daxi sat up violently with a stick, and stabbed the fastest person with a golden snake move. The man fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. I saw Chen Daxi pointing east and west, and the wooden stick was waving like a windmill, knocking over five or six people in an instant. The rest of the people froze for a moment, and were about to run, one of them, who might have studied kung fu for a few years, roared, jumped high with his feet off the ground, and the stick in his hand slashed at Chen Daxi's head. At this time, there are still three or four people who are holding the guy and beating Chen Daxi!

Chen Daxi saw that the situation was not good, so he used the martial arts to go into battle. The wooden stick was swept in his hand for half a circle, and the sound of the wind was like a dragon's roar, and the three or four people who bluffed did not dare to approach. Then he took the stick in his hand and blocked the man's stick upward, and at the same time raised his right foot, and a high whip leg hit the head, and the man fell.

Then there was no need to say more, more than a dozen people were all beaten to the ground by Chen Daxi, covering their heads and rubbing their legs and moaning. After that, Chen Daxi said: "If you dare to come to Chenjiazhai in the future, what awaits you is the iron gun!" ”

When the villagers saw Feng Laosi's men being beaten by Chen Daxi, they all clapped their hands and applauded. have accused these dogs. The gang had no choice but to flee back in embarrassment. After Feng Laosi saw it, he lost his temper, but he was helpless, a Chen Daxi couldn't win, not to mention so many barefoot red people? The only way to do that is to hand over the letter and let the government kill these wicked people. After the letter was handed over, Zhang Shaoying, the county magistrate, originally planned to stand up for Feng Laosi, but the master said: "Have you ever heard of Yingzhou's twist? Xiao Ke remembered that the bitter master surnamed Wang was killed by the twister this year, and there was a man named Chen Daxi who led the leader. Zhixian was a timid person, stayed for a long time, and said: "Okay, Yingzhou Chen Daxi, Pingyu Chen Daxi, maybe it's a person?" If I offend the twister, my black yarn may not be guaranteed. Forget it. Our government is not a slave of his Feng family. So the case was set aside.

The villagers saw that Chen Daxi had beaten Feng Laosi's slaves, and the government did not accept the case. They all cheered, thinking that Chen Daxi had the ability and ability! After going abroad for so many years, he must have made friends with many green forest heroes or powerful people outside, and he was scared to learn that the county did not dare to accept the case. So everyone admired Chen Daxi very much, kissed him extraordinarily, and regarded Chen Daxi as a backer. Chen Daxi took the opportunity to win over the villagers, saying that if anyone has something to do in the future, we will help each other. I will not be bullied after storage. The villagers think he has the ability to do it!

coincided with the selection of group exercises in the township, and everyone recommended Chen Daxi. And Daxi has nothing to do at home, and he is willing to find something to do. One is not to waste martial arts, and the other is an errand. Mixed in the group training, you can also inquire more about the news, which is also conducive to helping the villagers. So in several competitions, Chen Daxi won as a township leader. It's a pity that he only fell into the position of squad leader. What do you say? The leaders of the Qing Dynasty's Xiangyong Regiment Training, consuls, and commanders were all given by the official family in the past, and they were passed down from the family, and outsiders had no chance to be them.

The good times didn't last long, and the people who had a holiday with Chen Daxi before kept suing Chen Daxi behind their backs. And in addition to the previous incident of the Guangxi merchant, he was slandered as an illicit "long hair" (long hair, which is the Qing court's contemptuous name for the Taiping Army). So in the township and county, people kept interrogating Chen Daxi. Chen Daxi felt that it was a big deal, he had offended so many gentry, if he continued to stay in Pingyu, he might not be able to take it one day.

So, he said goodbye to everyone, quit the group practice, took his wife and children back to Fuyang to resume his old business, and continued to sell his art (in fact, he made a living).
