Text: Episode 21

1.

When I open my eyes almost every day, my heart is empty, probably without a goal in my heart.

Liu Yinghong, who was sleeping on the kang, was still snoring, and the sky outside the window was gradually brightening. It's another day, another day of confusion and overwhelming.

2.

November 21, fine, minus 18 degrees.

11:02。

Cao Chengrui took cold medicine and lay in bed thinking nonsense. He was home alone, and Li Ling hurriedly went out early in the morning when he said that there was something, leaving him with only a beautiful back. This reminded him of the situation after he was hospitalized in the hospital after being beaten, and it was also such a beautiful back.

While his mind was racing, the phone rang.

"Satsuki." Cao Chengrui cleared his throat and spoke.

"Where have you been these days? I can't get through to you on the phone. ”

Cao Chengrui thought about it, where has he been these days? For a moment, it was like a hangover, and my mind was blurred.

"Yi Yao too, I haven't seen anyone for a few days! I'm going to die! Yang Xinyue's voice sounded scared and nervous, "She's back looking for me!" I can feel it! ”

"Who?"

"Xiaoxiao!"

"Where are you? I'll go to you now! Cao Chengrui sat up straight.

"In the dormitory."

"Wait for me!"

3.

The weather is minus seventeen or eight degrees, and my hands and ears are cold.

Cao Chengrui ran downstairs in a down jacket and finally stopped a taxi.

"Where?" The taxi driver didn't look at Cao Chengrui and asked.

"Hua Business School."

The driver was silent, and the car slowly drove forward.

Cao Chengrui's head was so uncomfortable that he couldn't tell what it felt. The car was moving steadily, and before he knew it, he leaned against the window and fell into a deep sleep.

In just a few minutes, he fell into a dream, in which there were mountains and rivers, as well as Tao Qiwu.

Two people carried tent sleeping bags on their backs and shuttled through the dense forest.

There was the sound of the wind, the chirping of insects and birds, and the whispering of the mountains.

"Do you remember our previous agreement?" Tao Qiwu looked back at Cao Chengrui, who was panting behind him.

"Yes." Cao Chengrui stopped, crossed his waist and gasped and said, "When we have known each other for ten years, we are going to have such a trip...... Find a deserted mountain to climb, isn't it possible! ”

"Hey, hey." Tao Qiwu turned his head with a smile, and then walked forward.

Cao Chengrui rubbed his waist and shouted, "Slow down!" I can't keep up! ”

"The slower you walk, the more tired you get!"

"You're right! The problem is that you're going faster, aren't you? I can't keep up with you. ”

Cao Chengrui didn't hear the answer, and when he looked up, Tao Qiwu's shadow had long been lost in front of him.

"Old Tao?" The sound rang out in the woods, and everything was quiet.

In an instant, the fatigue accumulated along the way hit him, and he slowly sat down against the trunk of the tree.

4.

Several families who often live in Nanshan also have children, and there are a few of them of the same age, such as Liu Yongzhou, the seven-year-old second son of Liu Fu's family, Zhou Xianghe's only son, Zhou Kang, who is eleven, Yang Qiaoyu, the seven-year-old daughter of Yang Yuqing's family, Yang Shanting, the nine-year-old son, and Wang Kui, the ten-year-old son of Wang Er's family.

Pinching his fingers, these are the only families who live in the mountains, and they get along very harmoniously.

Because Tao Yuanxing knows veterinary medicine and has studied private school, these families let him teach his children to read and write. Shoude naturally participated, and after a long time, he became familiar with the children of various families.

Zhou Kang is a little older, naturally the head of this group of children, and I don't know where he learned a set of theories on seniority, and he gave himself the title of "big master" according to his age, Wang Kui is the "second master", Yang Shanting is the "third", Liu Yongzhou is the "fourth", and the later Tao Shoude is of course the "fifth". This is also in line with the nickname of Shoude.

Let's say that at noon on this day, Tao Yuanxing didn't have time to eat lunch, so he heard a noise at the gate of the courtyard, and Tao Yuanxing hurriedly went out to check. As soon as he stepped out of the house, he saw a horse standing in the courtyard, and a teenage boy stood behind the horse's buttocks.

The horse was fat and strong, and the hair on his body was black and shiny, and at a glance he knew that he was a good horse, but when he looked at it again, it was miserable enough: the horse's mouth and nose were foaming at the mouth, and he was digging the ground with his tongue and hooves.

Tao Yuanxing, who came to know, was Wu Yanshou, the head of the Yanshou gambling house in the city, and his two major gunners, Xiao San and Qiu Wu, and his youngest son Wu Hai was still standing behind the horse.

Since ancient times, there is no good stubble that can open a gambling house, especially this longevity gambling house - three courtyards before and after the longevity gambling house, the street is a gambling house, and the middle courtyard is a left and a right two two-story buildings, all of which are private rooms, elegantly furnished, whether you want to smoke a big cigarette or play with a woman to drink a lot, you can do whatever you want. The last courtyard is where Wu Yanshou and his wife and three concubines live, there are turrets in the four corners of the courtyard, and there are more than 50 people in the courtyard at home, this Xiao San and Qiu Wu are their leaders, it is said that these two people are familiar with several big locks in Liaodong.

Tao Yuanxing said in his heart: This is the living king of Hades, and he has to serve him well. After thinking about it, he hurriedly took three steps and two steps to greet him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu, the villain doesn't know that Uncle Wu is coming, and you are far away and you are far away!" ”

"Hahaha!" Wu Yanshou patted Tao Yuanxing's shoulder and said with a smile: "Veterinarian Tao, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let you take a look at my horse today, I don't know what's wrong, I don't eat or drink and spit on the foam!" ”

"Is there such a thing? Let me see. Tao Yuanxing didn't wait to finish speaking, but Xiao Sanyi grabbed his arm.

Xiao San pursed his lips and pointed at the black horse and said, "Who the hell is fighting with you haha?" Hurry up and give our master a good look at the horses! Don't talk about that useless calf! It's just a matter of curing! Can't cure Lao Tzu picked your skin! ”

Tao Yuanxing puffed his teeth, and before he could say anything, Xiao San, the mad dog, began to bite people.

Wu Yanshou on the side laughed and said, "Damn, why are you talking to veterinarian Tao?" Get out of the way! After that, he glared at Tao Yuanxing and said, "You give me a good look, but you have to cure me!" ”

"Alright, alright! I understand! Tao Yuanxing nodded in response.

In the past, after lunch, several children from this neighborhood gathered to listen to Tao Yuanxing's lectures, and today is no exception. Which Cheng thought that as soon as a few children walked outside the courtyard, they saw Xiao San in the courtyard pulling Tao Yuanxing.

Wu Hai, who was standing behind the horse, combed his braids shiny, seven disagreed and eight were angry with their hands behind their backs, their little faces were pulled, they pouted and pulled their mouths, and they bypassed the black horse and just saw Tingjuan and Tingfang lying by the door watching the situation in the yard in the house.

It has to be said that this mountain and water are good for popularity, and this area of Liucheng is a place where beautiful women are produced, Zhao's appearance is good, his skin is fair, his skin is convex and backward, his appearance is exquisite and simple, and the daughter who gave birth to this pair naturally inherited the benefits of her mother, white and beautiful.

Wu Hai grew up in a gambling house, and he has seen a lot of good and bad things, such as a poor man buying and selling a little girl, and cutting off a finger. That is to say, don't look at him Wu Hai is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he is clear and unambiguous about the affairs of men and women, and when he was six or seven years old, he knew that he would break the window lattice paper and look into the house to see those who bought spring turning over the clouds and rain.

"Hey! I'm talking about Tao Er! These two girls in your family are so good!! Hey! Dad, don't you see!? Wu Hai walked up to his father's side and pointed into the room.

"You little cub with no hair! It's not serious! Get out of the way! Wu Yanshou raised his hand to fight, but was stopped by Tao Yuanxing.

Tao Yuanxing turned his head to look at Tingjuan and Tingfang and shouted, "Don't hurry up and go into the house!" Look at everything! Look at the uninformed! After that, seeing Tingjuan and Tingfang turn around and enter the house, they hurriedly smiled and said to Wu Yanshou: "Uncle Wu, let's take a look at the horse's illness and let the children play!" ”

This scene made Zhou Kang outside the hospital look at it very clearly, and said to Wang Kui, the "second master" next to him, with a disgusted face: "Look at that kid's damaged appearance, it is not a thing at first glance!" ”

Wang Kui nodded: "Well, it's not a thing!" ”

The youngest Tao Shoude also nodded as if he didn't understand, and then said, "It's not a thing!" ”

5.

"Brother, it's time to get there."

Cao Chengrui, who was woken up, opened his eyes, glanced at the meter, took out fourteen yuan in a daze, pushed the door and got out of the car.

A cold wind swept snowflakes from all directions, enveloping him. Cao Chengrui took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Yang Xinyue. Unlock your phone, and a message will appear on the screen: Your subscription to the novel has been updated, come and try it out!

He knew in his heart that "Untitled" on the Internet had been updated again. This time it was also updated without his knowledge. The new chapter is full of joy, and the name "Tao Qiwu" appears in the story again.

This writing style is not Li Ling's, nor is it written by herself, let alone Tao Qiwu's, so who else is secretly updating the article?

6.

Tao Yuanxing did have a good means, and he cured the dark horse's illness in less than an hour.

Wu Yanshou was very happy, thanked Xiao San and asked him to stay and pay for the illness, and said "There is still something to do" and led the horse to lead Wu Hai away.

Xiao San saw Wu Yanshou walking away before turning to Tao Yuanxing and saying, "I didn't expect your old boy to be okay!" After a pause, he said, "Do you still want the fuck any money?" Well? ”

Tao Yuanxing was so smart, his head shook like a rattle and said with a smile: "Don't, don't, how can you collect money for Uncle Wu!" ”

"Hmph, you're fucking familiar!" Xiao San spat on the ground and turned to leave.

Tao Yuanxing looked at Xiao San who was walking away, and his teeth itched.

To say that Wu Yanshou is still righteous, but most of these people raised under his hands are not good things!

A few days have passed since this incident, and in the afternoon of this day, the children on the mountain were learning the confrontation between the two armies of Shu and Wei in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by the halfway pavilion after class, using a tree branch to pick up a rag as a banner, and holding a wooden sword and wooden knife sharpened from a wooden stick in their hands.

This "fierce battle" was in full swing, and I saw a group of people coming up from the bottom of the mountain, there were more than a dozen people, all of whom were boys of the same age. Dressed in silk and satin, the braids are neatly combed, and they are many times better than the children in coarse linen clothes such as Zhou Kang and Tao Shoude, and they are the children of large families at first glance.

"Look at those stupid roe deer! That's pretty good! It was Wu Hai who spoke, raising his hand and pointing at Zhou Kang and them.

As soon as Wu Hai's words came out, the rest of the people burst into laughter, and they shouted at Wu Hai's side: "Silly roe deer! Silly roe deer! ”

Zhou Kang is a little older in this group of children in Nanshan, and he has a momentum, so Wang Kui is a little stunned, what Zhou Kang says he listens to. The "third" Yang Shanting is smart and clever, and he acts and speaks like an adult. The "fourth" Liu Yongzhou and Tao Shoude are the role of followers.

Wang Kui held the "Wang Family's Dragon Gun" made by himself in his hand, pointed at Wu Hai's group and said to Zhou Kang: "Big boss, look! It's those little deflated calves from last time! ”

Speaking of the "Wang Family Point Dragon Spear" in Wang Kui's hand, it is just a wooden stick with the thickness of a wine cup, sharpened with a knife in the head, and Wang Kui carved a "dragon" with a knife on the rod, which can be said to be a bit of artistic attainment, this dragon has a bit of dragon appearance in addition to the body like a snake.

"Well, I know! It's really coming to the door! Zhou Kang gritted his teeth.

"Big brother, let's go, we can't let them scold us like this!" Wang Kui clenched his "point dragon gun".

Yang Shanting hurriedly stopped Wang Kui and said, "What are you doing!" You didn't look at Second Uncle Tao's attitude last time! They're not easy to mess with! Besides, we can't dog bite us, let's bite dog! ”

"So what do you say?" Zhou Kang asked Yang Shanting: "Just suffer like this?" ”

Yang Shanting's eyes rolled, and then he raised his throat and shouted, "Is it Brother Wu Hai over there?" Why do you have time to go up the mountain to play? ”

"Oops! Who else knows me? Wu Hai was really happy when he heard it, he didn't expect that his name would be known to people inside and outside the city.

A few boys beside Wu Hai hurriedly flattered: "That's it, Brother Wu Hai has a few people who don't know you!" ”

The more Wu Hai listened, the happier he became, and he stopped and shouted to Yang Shanting: "Little brother still knows me?" Very good! Very good! Ha ha! After laughing, he continued: "I told them that there are a few beautiful girls on our Nanshan Mountain, and they didn't believe me, so they brought them up to have a look!" ”

Tao Shoude dimly remembered the scene in the courtyard a few days ago, thought about it and muttered in a low voice: "They are here to find my Sister Tingjuan and Sister Tingfang?" ”

Zhou Kang snorted coldly and said, "I think it's probably so!" This group of people is not right when they look at it! ”

At this moment, a little girl in a blue gown ran from a distance, combed a big braid and tied a red head rope, and shouted as she ran: "Brother Shanting!" Mother called you home! ”

This little girl is Yang Shanting's sister Qiaoyu.

Qiaoyu, who ran over, just wanted to call her brother home, and she didn't notice that there were Wu Hai's gang, so she was stuck in Wu Hai's gang without paying attention.

7.

"Oops! I said, whose girl is this! Wu Hai took Qiaoyu's hand and touched the back of Qiaoyu's hand with a smile as an adult in the family.

Where did Qiaoyu see this formation, she was stunned for a while, and she was at a loss like a little sheep.

It is also said that Qiaoyu Ping Suli is well-behaved, and according to Tingfang's character, he is likely to bite Wu Hai's hand.

Looking at Yang Shanting by the pavilion not far away, he was dumbfounded.

I saw that Wu Hai was getting more and more excessive, and he actually touched Qiaoyu's little face, and said to his side while touching: "Look, didn't I lie to you!?" This is better than those women in our family, right? The taste is different! Hey! I'm telling you, it's just different! ”

Yang Shanting stomped his feet angrily, and was pushed away by Zhou Kang just as he wanted to say something: "What are you talking about?" Hurry up! ”

Wang Kui responded and rushed over with a "dragon gun" in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "What are you doing?!" Hurry up and let me go! ”

This voice was like killing a pig, which made Wu Hai tremble.

Wu Hai turned his head to look, only to see a silly little black child rushing out of the group of boys opposite, followed by a few.

"Where did you come out of the wild monkey!?" A person beside Wu Hai pointed at Wang Kui and scolded.

Wu Hai also came to his senses and shouted: "You have a leg!" I'm not going to let go! I see what you can do to me!? ”

"What's the matter?!! Believe it or not, I cut you? Wang Kui stood still and shouted in his voice.

Before Wu Hai could speak, someone behind him shouted, "Do you know who you are talking to? Yes? This gives you awesome! ”

"What nonsense! Hurry up! Cut him! Zhou Kang, who followed closely, didn't say much about the basis, and rushed over with two so-called "wooden swords" in his left and right hands. Wang Kui saw how Zhou Kang was willing to fall behind, and he also screamed and rushed forward. Besides, Yang Shanting doesn't care about what is called salute first and then soldier, it's useless to nag with a small mouth, it's just a fight now, and he wants to stop and follow closely.

Liu Yongzhou and Tao Shoude, the two youngest, also shouted and screamed with the crowd, and rushed forward with a sigh.

8.

Wu Hai's group didn't expect to fight on the mountain, and naturally they didn't prepare "weapons" such as bricks and wooden sticks in advance, so they suffered a loss in an instant.

Zhou Kang, who rushed to the front, attacked left and right twice and knocked one over, and the rest of the people around Wu Hai took a while to ease up, how could they still show weakness? The two groups are fighting in one place right now!

Qiaoyu only then remembered to cry, wiped her tears and ran home.

Wang Kui took turns to sweep the vertical split, and Yang Shanting rolled to the ground with a person.

This Tao Shoude said that he was only six years old, and these ten-year-old children were not a heavyweight, and Shoude had no other way but to hold on to a person alive and not let go, no matter how the person being hugged beat or beaten, he just didn't let go.

Zhou Kang's eyes were red, and the corner of his eye swept to Tao Shoude, his face was full of tears, he gritted his teeth, hugged the other party and was beaten, and kicked over the person in front of him, rushed to Tao Shoude, rounded the "wooden sword" in his hand, and smashed it on the other party's head.

I only heard a "click" in the ear chakra, the wooden stick was broken in half, and the Venus in front of him, who was held by Tao Shoude, sat on the ground with a weak leg and a buttocks.

Kang pulled up Tao Shoude, who was also lying on the ground, and shouted: "Fourth! Take Shoude to run first! ”

Yongzhou heard Zhou Kang shouting at him, and hurriedly ran over and dragged Tao Shoude out of the crowd.

In less than a few seconds, Zhou Kang didn't see clearly that Yongzhou and Shoude Chong didn't rush out, he only felt a cool breeze in the back of his head, and then his head "buzzed", and he fell to the ground in front of him.

The child was no worse than the adult, and a stone smashed on the back of Zhou Kang's head, and the blood flowed profusely.

"I'll fuck you!" Wang Kui saw that Zhou Kang was smashed down and was so angry that he turned the wooden stick in his hand and screamed like crazy. "You stupid roe deer! Call a fart! Wu Hai was also ruthless, bowed down to avoid Wang Kui's stick, and rushed forward and knocked down Wang Kui.

In the midst of this chaos, I suddenly heard someone shouting on the hillside: "Stop fighting!" Stop it! Stop! ”

Immediately after that, several adults ran over to pull the rack.

The two sides then stopped.

9.

"Spare you today! If you have the ability, you will find a few people who can fight to come to the Su family grave in Beishan! Wu Hai slapped the dust on his body and pointed at Zhou Kang, who had just struggled to get up from the ground: "Don't tell adults about this, let's solve it ourselves!" ”

Wang Kui picked up Zhou Kang and looked at Wu Hai viciously and said, "You just rely on the large number of people, and you don't accept the heads-up!" ”

"Whoever doesn't come is the fucking king eight calves!" Wu Hai pursed his lips and scolded, turned around and waved his hand, and walked down the mountain with the people around him.
