The cold ground was so cold that half of his body was a little stiff and numb, and he wanted to move, but he felt that he was stiff everywhere and didn't obey the call. Apparently, he had been thrown on the ground for some time. Not only was half of his body stiff and numb, but his head hurt terribly, just like after drinking with Zhang Lianqi a while ago, he had a splitting headache after getting drunk.

However, the moment he suddenly woke up, he also felt that the house was in chaos. I heard the eldest mother scolding and the mother crying. At this time, Zhang Shuting had married a wife and had a son, his wife's surname was Hao, and she was also the daughter of a wealthy family in the city, and she had a son and a daughter for him, the daughter was five years old and named Zhang Ruonan, and the son was three years old and named Zhang Ping'an. At this time, I listened again, not only the eldest mother scolded Erniang for crying, but his wife Zhang Haoshi was also crying, not only Erniang and his wife were crying, but also a pair of children were crying. Zhang Shuting just wanted to struggle to see what was going on, when he heard an urn sound and said:

"Finally awake!"

With this question, a cold and bright ghost-headed knife face with a cold light also slapped on his face accurately.

Zhang Shuting couldn't help but be surprised. He was shocked, not because a ghost knife slapped him in the face, but because he suddenly had a premonition that his family might have been robbed, although for as long as he could remember, there had never been a bandit in his home. Of course, saying this, it is not that when the New Year comes, there are no bandits who are worried about their Zhang family, but that there are bandits who are worried about their Zhang family every year.

It is precisely because there are bandits who come to worry about it every year, and as the years go by, it goes without saying that when his father Zhang Genmao was alive, even Zhang Shuting knew how many bandits there were in Ansu Realm, and because the number of these bandits was not large, they were wandering around the territory uncertainly, and even the government had no way to take them.

But these bandits, Zhang Shuting knows well, but they never break into his Zhang family's house. At the end of the year, or when encountering a hurdle that cannot be passed, these bandits will often send a seven or eight-year-old child to hand a note, or simply stuff the note through the crack in the gate, indicating how many oceans they want and where to send it, because the amount of money they ask for is not very large, and they also know that even if they report to the officials, the government will be helpless against them, and will form a grudge with them, so they will do it one by one.

Needless to say, those who could break into his home directly must not be the bandits he was familiar with.

However, yes or no, Zhang Shuting is not afraid. What worries him most is what the bandits will do to his family. Therefore, as soon as he heard his family crying and scolding, he desperately looked for his family.

By the light of a faint candle on the table of the Eight Immortals, I saw that the eldest mother, mother and wife were also tied to the ground, and the two crying children were carried by two men with steel knives. Looking at these two men again, they used a black cloth to cover half of their faces below their eyes.

Not only these two men, Zhang Shuting also saw that in addition to the man who slapped him in the face with a ghost knife, and the two men who were carrying his two children, there were also two people next to his wife and two at the door, all dressed in the same way.

No wonder the man with the ghost-headed knife spoke in an urn, and it turned out that he was holding a rag on his mouth.

Zhang Shuting also found out at the same time that he was not tied elsewhere, but was tied to the ground in front of the table of the Eight Immortals in the upper hall. It is said that this upper house was originally the residence of the eldest mother and mother. He lived with his wife and children in the east wing of the head.

It was only at this time that Zhang Shuting suddenly remembered that before, in his sleep, he did feel that someone had pressed his shoulder, although his body was still weak and in his sleep, but Zhang Shuting had also practiced with the Yunyou monk of Wantuo Temple in the south of the city for several years since he was a child, and he also had some kung fu on his body, and he felt that his shoulder was suddenly pressed, and this kind of press felt different from other presses, so his consciousness was not fully awake, but his body had bounced up like a conditioned reflex. But just as he was about to resist, he suddenly felt that he was hit by a blunt object on the head, and he didn't know it at that time.

When I woke up at this time, I saw that the whole family was crying, and I couldn't help but be angry from my heart, and shouted:

"What are you capable of bullying women and children, if it's a man, you let them go, and whatever you want, they all come at me!"

"Okay, it's a man! I really regret that the palm just now was a little heavier, and it took you a long time to wake up. If your old lady had been so happy with you at the beginning, I'm afraid we would have left earlier, and we wouldn't have been delayed in your Zhang family for so long. Just listen to the man who slapped the ghost head knife on his face just now, and said with an urn sound.

After that, he was obviously angry, and he angrily brushed his hand on the table of the Eight Immortals and said:

"Your old lady told me that your family only has more than 30 oceans, and you only took home more than 100 oceans in the evening, and you can't take out more. Think about it, how can there be only so many oceans in the family of the famous old pot Zhang family? When you say it, even the children don't believe it! ”

After saying that, he said:

"I don't say dark words, our brothers came all the way to your family's ocean, a fixed price, two thousand yuan, get it, we leave, we can't get it, then I'm sorry, if you have one in your family, I'm afraid you will have to shed some blood!"

And again:

"Say, where is your ocean hidden, two thousand yuan, and we won't take one more word."

When Zhang Shuting heard the bandits say this, he couldn't help but sneer. Speaking from the heart, even the silver reserved by Mr. Zhang in the account room for next year's pot is only a few hundred yuan, two thousand yuan, and he can't take it out if he is killed, so he said:

"My old lady is right, Runquanyong Shaoguo wine is good and famous, but the price is the lowest among all the pot wine. Runquanyong Burning Pot never dared to make more money because of the large number of wine trucks. Therefore, I can't save much money all year round. We can't take out two thousand, and we can't take out a thousand! ”

When the bandit heard this, he couldn't help but sneer:

"I said it, a fixed price, two thousand yuan, not a word less, since even you can't say you can't take it, I can't help it!"

Then, I saw him "snap" and slam the table again:

"According to the old rules, let's start with the youngest one!"

Seeing that the words did not fall, the man who was carrying Zhang Shuting's son Zhang Ping'an, and Zhang Ping'an, who was crying so hoarsely, "snapped" and lay on the big stool on the side, and then, raised his hand and shook the steel knife, and split the neck of the crying child.
