Xu Anping got up as usual, carrying a wooden basin and preparing to wash his face. When I opened the door, I heard Aunt Yu's scolding, Daddy Yu's dissuasion, and Yi Lian'er's crying from next door. "This one who kills a thousand knives, how can he beat you like this! The old lady is going to ask for an explanation. "Don't talk about it, stop for a while, we can't fight them." Xu Anping realized that something was wrong, and when he got angry, he threw away the wooden basin, tied the belt around his waist casually and rushed to Yu's house.

Seeing Xu Anping's anxious and angry face, Aunt Yu stopped her mouth for a moment. Hurriedly asked: "Anping hasn't eaten breakfast yet, I'll leave the rice for you in the pot to heat up." Lian'er, quickly bring Anping's breakfast. Yi Lian'er wiped her tears, walked to the stove, lowered her head and brought breakfast.

Xu Anping took two deep breaths and said calmly, "Auntie, I'll come to see Daddy Yu." I'm not going to do anything out of the ordinary, don't worry. Aunt Yu hesitated, and she didn't know if she wanted to stop her. Xu Anping bypassed her and entered the hall, and saw Father Yu sitting on a low stool and covering his forehead with a handkerchief, and the blood that oozed out and dripped on the ground had begun to coagulate. The anger that he had finally suppressed rose again, and he asked in a deep voice, "Dad, who beat him?" What the hell is going on? ”

Father Yu lowered his head and said dejectedly: "Anping, don't ask, this matter has nothing to do with you." I just have a little skin on my forehead, it's okay, just get over it. ”

Xu Anping asked a few words, and Father Yu turned over and over the same sentence, but he just shirked it. Xu Anping nodded helplessly, so he could only give up and brought the breakfast to the courtyard and ate it without saying a word. When he had finished eating, he put the bowl back on the stove and snapped off one of the iron teeth of the iron fence next to the haystack. When he got home, Xu Anping first bent the tip of the iron tooth into the shape of a fishhook, then sharpened the tip on the mossy grinding stone, and then continued to sit at the door in a daze. After a while, there was another argument next door. "Daddy, eat the eggs. There was so much blood shed, and I had to make up for it. "Leave it to Xiaohu to eat, I'm fine." Don't boil eggs tomorrow, the salt at home is running out. ”

Xu Anping saw Yu Xiaohu walking listlessly through the open door, so he got up and followed. When Xiaohu walked to the grove behind the village, Xu Anping quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Yu Xiaohu was startled and asked in astonishment, "Brother Anping, is there something wrong?" I'm going to play with Chubby later. ”

Xu Anping smiled and said, "Xiaohu, tell me, who beat your father?" ”

Yu Xiaohu hurriedly shook his head and said hesitantly: "Brother Anping, I don't know either. I... I went to the side of the mountain with Xiao Wu in the morning, but I didn't see it. ”

Xu Anping knew that Yu Xiaohu was lying at a glance, so he said, "Xiao Wu wanted to play with you just now, and asked me where you went." ”

Yu Xiaohu was in a hurry, sweat began to break out on his forehead, and he said anxiously: "It's my mother who won't let me tell you, I can't say it." If she knew I was talking nonsense, she would have killed me! "It seems that Aunt Yu's powerful use of a broom has been vividly displayed.

Xu Anping continued to tempt and said, "Is the chicken delicious? If you tell me, I'll catch pheasants next time and ask your sister to make chicken and mushroom stew for you. Don't worry, I won't tell your mother. ”

Yu Xiaohu remembered the delicious food he had eaten two days ago, and couldn't help licking his lips with his tongue and swallowing a mouthful of saliva. In the blink of an eye, he said, "No, I can't tell you!" ”

Xu Anping nodded approvingly secretly. "Xiaohu, do you want to learn kung fu to protect your father? Think about it, you have learned kung fu, and the next time you see someone bullying your father, your mother, or your sister, you can rush over and punch and kick all those people down. At that time, Chubby is not your opponent, and Xiaomei is also willing to play with you. ”

Yu Xiaohu turned his head to look around, and asked in a suspicious whisper, "Brother Anping, do you know kung fu?" Then I tell you, you have to teach me. ”

Xu Anping picked up a stone and shook it, and a sparrow five meters away fell to the ground.

Yu Xiaohu's eyes lit up, and he was suddenly excited. "Brother Anping, let me tell you, you have to help me keep it secret! Yesterday you brought back two pheasants, and there is one big one left. My dad took the pheasants to the county seat this morning to sell them to the restaurant, and then came back with some salt. After I eavesdropped, I secretly followed my father, and after thinking of the county seat, I asked my father to buy me a piece of maltose to eat. When my father walked to the Taiping River to cross the bridge, he met the landlord's son and his attendant, Yu Dayuer, who insisted on buying the big pheasant for a penny, and said that this chicken was caught by my father in the field under their mountain. My father refused, so he asked Yu Dayu to rob it. After my dad fell, he kicked my dad a few times. I couldn't beat them, so I didn't dare to go there. Speaking of this, Yu Xiaohu burst into tears. My mother told me not to tell you, saying that your illness is just right, and they will beat you if they ignore it. My dad also said that next summer, he will go to his house to borrow oxen to plow the land, so forget it. Brother Anping, can you teach me kung fu? I'm going to beat them up when I practice. ”

Xu Anping was already so angry that his face turned blue when he heard it, and Yu Xiaohu kept crying and didn't see it. When Yu Xiaohu was almost crying, Xu Anping pretended to be casual and said, "Xiaohu, I won't tell your mother." You have to grow your body now, and when you grow to my height, I will teach you kung fu. ”

Yu Xiaohu burst into tears and smiled, "Brother Anping, I listen to you." Don't forget that. After saying that, he ran to play with Chubby.

Xu Anping pretended that nothing had happened, and still sat on the threshold of the hall and basked in the sun. When the sun began to set in the west, Xu Anping closed the door tightly, plugged in the door bolt, and carefully took out the porcelain bowl from the corner, seeing that the recently collected "Grass Flying" venom had dried into small pieces. He took out the manuscript paper left behind by his father, pulled out three and put them on the table, and poured the dried lumpy venom onto the paper. Then, he took the garlic mortar that had been cleaned long ago, and slowly crushed the medicine cubes into powder. Then, carefully wrap the powder in kraft paper and put it in your arms and hold it close to your body. In the end, Xu Anping buried the hammer under the roots of the plane tree, stepped on the soil with his feet, and made a little camouflage by the way.

At dinner, Aunt Yu shouted at Xu Anping to eat in a loud voice. Everyone gathered around the table to eat coarse tea and light rice, as if nothing had happened. Yi Lian'er still kept picking up vegetables for Xu Anping, but she chewed her nest head dryly; Aunt Yu still counted Yu Xiaohu and broke the head of the nest in half for Xiaohu to eat more. Daddy Yu's forehead still had a little blood stains, and he silently sucked the clear soup along the edge of the bowl, giving people the feeling that it was not as powerful as before. After eating, he stopped chatting under the locust tree at the head of the village, because the villagers already knew about his beating. Although everyone is angry, it is not a face-saving thing after all.

The days passed, the village was quiet, the villagers were looking for new gossip spots, and the interest in chatting was reduced. One night in late October, Uncle Lin threw another note: On the third day of the first day of November, go find someone to find Su. Xu Anping also put up the agenda for teaching the landlord's son. On the night of October 25, there was no moon or stars, and I couldn't see my fingers. When he first arrived at Chou, Xu Anping walked out of the courtyard wall and rushed towards the courtyard wall of the back door of the landlord Yu Laocai. Along the way, there was an occasional dog bark, followed by a whimper under the owner's scolding.

Stopping five meters outside the courtyard wall, Xu Anping took a deep breath, accelerated and rushed towards the courtyard wall, took a step on the spot, and pulled his body upward, and then grabbed the gap in the joint of the stones with his left hand, and his right hand had climbed the protruding stone at the top of the wall. With a strong lift of both hands, his body was already standing on the courtyard wall. He carefully observed the gap in the ground and gently jumped into the courtyard. Xu Anping did not act in a hurry, but identified the layout of the courtyard, the hall house in the north should be the landlord Yu Laocai, and the east wing room should be the landlord's son. Xu Anping quietly walked to the east wing room and leaned against the window, and heard two even breathing sounds mixed with intermittent snoring, so he took out iron teeth from his sleeves and reached into the crack in the door from below, and slowly moved the deadbolt. When he felt about the same, Xu Anping began to reduce his strength, carefully dragging the deadbolt to prevent it from slipping. Hearing a soft "pop", he immediately stopped moving, and seeing that there was no reaction in the house, he pushed open the crack in the door that only allowed him to pass through the size, and entered the house sideways. Xu Anping first saw a maid sleeping outside the house, walked over and grabbed the maid's neck with his hand, and pressed the carotid artery with his thumb instantly, and the maid passed out in her sleep. Then, seeing that the landlord's son was still asleep, Xu Anping strode to the bed, slashed his neck with his right hand, and the snoring stopped abruptly. Then he covered the head of the landlord's son with his clothes, tied his hands and feet with a sheet, and walked out quickly, touching a few taels of silver under the pillow. He still muttered in his mouth: "Little cub, look how grandpa cleans you up tonight!" ”

Xu Anping came to the back door and saw that the two housekeepers guarding the door were sleeping crookedly, and they didn't have much to say, so they opened the door and left. All the way to Yuzui Mountain, pulled a few vines to hang the landlord's son on the tree, and fanned him hard.

As soon as the landlord's son thought of coming, he cried out in horror: "Do you know who my father is? My father is the landlord Yu Laocai, and he is also familiar with Qingping County, and fifty percent of the land in this village belongs to our family. Hero, let me go! I'm not going to let my dad report to the authorities. ”

Xu Anping slapped a few more times, but he was still not angry, so he broke a branch and pumped it hard. While pumping, he said in a hoarse voice: "Dare to threaten Lao Tzu!" Grandpa, when I went south and north, you weren't born yet. For goods like you, Lao Tzu didn't slaughter ten, but there were eight. ”

The landlord's son was even more frightened when he heard this, and he screamed in pain, and his voice changed a little. "Hero, spare your life! Heroes spare their lives! You let me go back, I can give you money, all for you! My dad is rich. Believe me! ”

Xu Anping still didn't stop, and then said: "Lao Tzu loves money and takes it in a good way. Besides, you are also a poor ghost, and you have only hidden more than two taels of broken silver under your pillow. Next, I will ask you to answer, if you dare to talk nonsense, grandpa will throw you into the river to feed Wang Ba. ”

The landlord's son hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, you ask." I must tell the truth and dare not deceive. ”

Xu Anping stopped and asked, "What's your name?" Have you been to Qingping County in the past two months? ”

The landlord's son was stunned for a moment, "Daxia, my name is Yu Jiaxing, and I haven't been to Qingping County for these two months." Since I was drinking flower wine in Baihualou more than three months ago when I met the son of a large family who was killed, my father didn't let me go to the county seat. Really, I didn't lie to you! ”

Xu Anping raised the branch in his hand again, whipped it more than a dozen times, and said fiercely: "Dare to deceive Lao Tzu!" Is it true that grandpa is muddy? I'll let you see how many eyes Lord Ma has today. This time, someone gave me two hundred taels of silver to teach you a lesson, do you think others are full of food? ”

Yu Jiaxing let out a miserable scream and shouted: "Hero, spare your life!" Even if you kill me, I haven't been to the county seat! I've never been! ”

"Yo! Today is really a long insight, and I met a hard-mouthed one. Grandpa will give you another reminder, Yu Dayu is your personal attendant, right? These two people are molesting the yellow flower girl on the street, you said that you didn't instigate it, guess your father believes it or not? ”

"Hero, spare your life! They were indeed my retinue, but sometimes they were called by my father to run errands and deliver letters. I really didn't instruct it! Yu Jiaxing secretly hated in his heart, and when he went back, he must chop up these two dog things and feed them to the dogs. I don't know how to wipe my ass clean when I go out and do bad things, and see if I don't cut you off.

"Even if you didn't instigate it, you usually brought it bad. Even if this account is on your head, it is not wronged! Don't worry, I won't kill you this time, and I'll let you go when I'm tired. However, the next time someone pays for it, it may not be! Xu Anping then twitched, and Yu Jiaxing's scream startled a burst of crows.

Yu Lao Caichen didn't see his son coming over when he was having breakfast, so he sent someone to bark, followed by a burst of chickens and dogs. Yu Laocai's wife howled hysterically, and the thick white powder on her face fell down, mixed with tears on her face, like Cao Cao's face that had not yet been painted. Yu Laocai roared at a group of family members: "A group of fools! I don't know if I was touched at home. Go find it for me! I can't find the young master, so I'll peel your skin carefully. "Butler, go and report to the official!" No, I'm going to see Li County Order. Wait, let's talk about it later. With that, he spread out on his chair.

An hour and a half later, the family searched the whole village but did not find Yu Jiaxing. Yu Laocai was just about to let his family set up a car to go to the county seat to report to the official, when he saw several tenants carrying a person towards his house. When I got closer, it was my son Yu Jiaxing, and I saw that his face was blue, his legs were trembling, his clothes had become strips of cloth, and he could see the blood marks of being whipped all over his body from the cracks.

Yu Laocai was suddenly furious, and his precious son, who was reluctant to say a heavy word, was beaten like this, and jumped to his feet and scolded: "Which Wang Ba calf did this?" I'm going to crush him to ashes! "Are they all dead? Quickly help the young master into the room and go and invite the best doctor in the county. Yu Laocai's wife came over and cried again, scolding Yu Laocai for causing trouble outside and implicating his son.

Yu Jiaxing didn't have a piece of good meat in his body, and he felt tingling all over his body while lying on the bed, and as soon as he woke up, he heard Yu Laocai say that he was going to report to the official. "Jiaxing, you can recuperate with peace of mind, I will go to Li County Order and let him track down the murderer." Yu Jiaxing hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Yu Laocai's sleeve, and said weakly: "Dad, don't go to report to the official." This person was invited by someone else from out of town and could not be caught. You go and lock Yu Dayu Er in the firewood room, don't let them escape. It's these two people who are causing trouble, and I'm going to kill them! As he spoke, his teeth creaked.

The old locust tree at the head of the village is lively again. "You know what? Yu Laocai's precious son was beaten and did not have a piece of good meat on his body. "Wow! Really? Finally, someone is doing the right thing for heaven. "It's just that last time Yu Laogen's eldest son was beaten by him and vomited blood, and it was gone." "Who said it wasn't, the daughter of Yu Laoshi's family was stopped by him and touched her hand, and the marriage she said was almost yellow. The girl who stood out too much almost made him ruined. "The turtle son who gave birth to a son without ** is good if he is killed." ……

Father Yu came to the old locust tree again, chatted with the neighbors, and took the initiative to talk about how badly he was beaten last time. The crowd listened to another burst of exclamation and curse. This time, he felt a little arrogant, as if the chivalrous man had taught the landlord's son a lesson for him. What he didn't know was that this time it was really to vent for him.

At this time, Xu Anping was sitting on the threshold of the hall basking in the sun. Yi Lian'er told him upside down about how badly the landlord's son was beaten, and how loud Yu Dayu Er shouted at the landlord's house in the past few days. Xu Anping seemed to be listening very seriously, squinting his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose from time to time in line with Yi Lian'er's excited tone. In fact, he was thinking in his heart: "The sun doesn't seem to be warm lately, is it because the posture of basking in the sun is wrong?" …… There is no oil and water in the stomach again, and it is time to go to the mountains to hunt some game. What kind of excuse should I make up this time? Well, I'll catch one this time. ”
