Chapter 10: Tianwang Town
At the intersection of the Qinhuai River and the Taihu Lake, under the hills, there is a small town, which is rich in vegetables and fruits, and supplies the land of Jinling, so the merchants come and go, but it is also lively.
On this day, there was a dusty young offspring at the entrance of the town, with a tender face, but there was a bit of wind and frost between his eyebrows, but he was very energetic, and what made others look at him was that he was carrying a big wooden box.
From behind, it looks like a box spirit walking.
But this man was a little carpenter.
He walked to a small shop at the entrance of the town, and asked how far it was from Jinling, and the proprietress of the little shop had just seen the handsome side of the little carpenter, and swallowed her saliva with hunger, and now became more and more enthusiastic, and told him to go west, and it would not be long before he arrived.
The little carpenter asked for the name of the town, and the proprietress said that it was called Tianwang Town.
After asking the way, the little carpenter went to the town, and he first found a shaving stall and cleaned up his messy hair, after all, he was going to enter the city, and he had to pick up more or less.
He got a student like Qu Menghu with short hair, and he suddenly became energetic and his eyebrows became tough.
Then he found a restaurant with a lot of customers and asked for half a salted duck.
The duck skin of this salted duck is tender, fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, the little carpenter sleeps all the way, and finally eats a meat meal at this moment, and now he also wants two large bowls of white rice, and he eats the salted duck and a bowl of warm soup, and eats straight throat.
Beautiful......
The little carpenter, who has been hungry since childhood, has a persistent pursuit of food, and it is easier to be satisfied, and all the fatigue and troubles are eliminated after eating a meal.
He let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that it was going to be dark this day, and it was just a good thing to look back and find a place, take a bath, and sleep again.
Just as he was about to get up to settle the bill, suddenly there was a commotion in the street outside, and the little carpenter stood by the window and looked out, and saw four or five big men, surrounded by a young girl, talking to an old couple.
The old couple fell to their knees, kowtowed, and wept loudly.
The little carpenter settled the bill, and went out of the restaurant, and saw that the men had dragged the plainly dressed girl by the wrist and dragged her out, while the old couple stepped forward to stop her, but separated them from death.
Some neighbors couldn't see it, and shouted loudly: "Li Mazi, don't bully people too much, what a good girl Youyi is, and she is so young, are you embarrassed to pull her to the kiln in Jinling City?" If you do this, you will lose your conscience and will be struck by lightning. ”
The leader of the gang was a strong man with a pockmarked face and horizontal meat.
He grinned, showed a mouthful of rotten teeth, and said: "Aunt Wang, Yan Lao'er owes me two hundred yuan, one after another, owing more than a year, and now he is sick like this, it seems that it is not good, and the house is not worth a few dollars. I'm also kind and kind, and I borrowed money to treat Mr. Yan's illness, but I can't be told that I have nothing to lose, right? Why don't you pay it back? ”
When the neighbor who stood up heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he rubbed his hands together and laughed awkwardly, saying where do I have money......
The old man cried and shouted, "How can I owe you two hundred yuan? My wife borrowed forty ......."
He didn't know what he was sick with, but as he spoke, he began to cough up blood.
Li Mazi listened to it and sneered: "Lao Tzu's printing money has always been written in black and white, and the IOU has your old man's signature on it, but it's not just that you just talk nonsense." Even if it is to the government, I am the same sentence. ”
A neighbor next to him couldn't help but say, "Of course, isn't the one in the county your uncle?" ”
Li Mazi heard this, and shouted sternly: "Who, who said it?" If you have the ability to stand up, don't hide your head there......"
He was very imposing, and he was fierce and vicious, and his eyes swept over, but he was silent, and no one dared to squeak.
Li Mazi was very satisfied with the performance of the onlookers, and said: "You nosymen, I still say the same thing, if you have money, help Yan Lao'er return the money, Lao Tzu took the money, leave now; Otherwise, don't get in the way here, and chirp with me. ”
This person is so fierce that the neighbors who were originally a little indignant all shut their mouths and didn't dare to speak, and after Li Mazi was shocked by the scene, he waved his hand and said to his subordinates: "Go." ”
He was about to take the man away, and at this time, another person stepped forward.
This man is the little carpenter.
He stopped in front of the gang and said calmly, "Put them down." ”
When Li Mazi saw him, he couldn't help but laugh, and said Are you going to help repay the money?
The little carpenter nodded and said yes.
After saying that, he really put down the wooden box and began to dig out the bottom layer, ready to take the money.
When Li Mazi saw this vivid and genuine character, he was stunned at the time, after all, he was deliberately putting Yinzi money, just counting on selling Yan Lao'er, a yellow flower girl, for a big price.
He negotiated the price with the owner of Chunxiang Building in Jinling City, and waited to send someone over to get the money, but as soon as he got it, his face suddenly couldn't hang up.
He didn't wait for the little carpenter to come up with the money, and immediately glanced at his men.
His subordinates also understood, so they immediately rushed forward, raised their fists, and scolded angrily: "Whose crotch is not pulled properly, exposing you as a foreigner?" Fuck off......"
The man who rushed to the front, while scolding, had already smashed his fist in the face of the little carpenter.
But his hand was suddenly frozen, for the little carpenter's right hand, without anyone seeing, seized the man's fist, and ......
The man's face suddenly became ugly, and cold sweat flowed down.
His teeth chattered, and he finally couldn't hold back it, and screamed miserably: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"
It's a practitioner.
Li Mazi's gang reacted immediately, and several thugs rushed up, wanting to press this guy down, but they didn't expect a few face-to-face efforts, but these people were all thrown to the ground by the foreigner.
Just kidding, if you can't get a round against so many ruffians with your cloud probe, the little carpenter will be ashamed to jump into the river.
However, when these people all fell down and snorted, Li Mazi took out a pistol and pointed it at the little carpenter's eyebrows.
He screamed, "Kneel, kneel......"
The little carpenter had just thrown a man to the ground, and when he heard this, he turned around slowly.
Facing the muzzle of the gun, he said without changing his face: "I'll give you a chance to mend your ways, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Haoran is righteous, I don't want to kill, and you, you shouldn't want to die either, right?" ”
Li Mazi saw that the other party was looking at him calmly, and there was no fear in his eyes, but he was full of pity and became more and more panicked.
He roared angrily, "Kneel, kneel!" ”
The little carpenter kept staring at the man's right index finger, and as soon as the guy pulled the trigger, his tense body would dodge the bullet and pounce on him like a cheetah.
When the two sides reached a stalemate, someone suddenly shouted: "Xiao Ye is here, Xiao Ye is here." ”
The crowd of onlookers parted, and a young man with short shoulders and sharp eyes walked in.
The man looked twenty-seven or eighteen years old, or older, with thick eyebrows and sharp edges on his face, not handsome, but not masculine.
The man walked into the middle of the field, and the people next to him greeted him one after another, and he looked at the two sides facing each other, smiled, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said to Li Mazi: "Boss Li, is it necessary?" Come on, don't be nervous, put down the gun. Li Mazi looked like a bullish coax to others, but he was polite to this young man.
He said, "This kid has injured several of my brothers, how can I let him go?" ”
The young man who was called Xiao Ye laughed and said that you didn't figure it out - I asked you to put down the gun, I was saving you, not letting you let him go.
Li Mazi was stunned, what do you mean?
Xiao Ye said: "Let's put it this way, if this gun is pointed at me, do you think you can kill me?" ”
Li Mazi shook his head and said no, I haven't heard of your reputation as Xiao Mingyuan Xiao Boss, where do I dare to point a gun at you?
Xiao Ye smiled and said Then you dare to point a gun at him?
Li Mazi understood this time, but he couldn't believe it: "You, you mean ......"
Xiao Ye looked at him seriously, and said word by word: "If you believe me, put down the gun and speak well, otherwise I will turn around and leave, and turn around to collect your body......"
This Xiao Ye is really a character in Tianwang Town, even a person like Li Mazi who is not stingy, listened to his words, and after hesitating for a while, he finally chose to put the gun away.
And the moment he put the gun down, the indescribable palpitations in his heart finally disappeared.
At this time, he realized that Xiao Ye was not lying to him.
The two sides gave up the confrontation, and Xiao Ye said to Li Mazi: "This matter, it stands to reason that it is all business, but it is really not good to attack the local neighbors in the hometown, and when someone goes to your old lady to chew his tongue, your face is not good-looking." In this way, I am in charge, I will take the list, and I will send it to your house for forty oceans, how about it? ”
Forty oceans?
The little carpenter thought that Li Mazi would flatly refuse, after all, that guy wanted two hundred oceans of principal and interest, and there was an official on it.
However, what surprised him was that although Li Mazi's face was ugly, he still said with difficulty: "Okay, for your Xiao Ye's sake today, so be it." ”
He took the gun, handed the IOU to the young man, and then took a few of his men and walked away.
As soon as they left, the onlookers immediately cheered, and the old Yan family also knelt on the ground and kowtowed in thanks.
When the little carpenter saw this, he was surprised, but he didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
And at this moment, the young man named Xiao Ye stopped him.
Xiao Ye walked up to the little carpenter, and arched his hand and said, "In Xia Tianwang Town, Xiao Mingyuan, haven't you asked your brother's surname?" ”
