Chapter Twenty-Six: Heavy Rain Cleans Up the Dust
A thunderclap! The long-awaited rain finally came. Since the sky started to get hot, there hasn't been a decent rain in Changtu Province. The buds in the field were rushing up, and this rain was an emergency. It is also because of the drought, the day is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the sun makes people's bones lazy, and now it rains, you can also enjoy the coolness of the two days.
But Li Lintang doesn't like rain very much. There is a lot of windfall on his body, and he is not in a hurry to find a serious livelihood, and he has been in the mountains for a few days, and he still plays sticks and practices boxing every day, and lives very freely. It was raining today, Mr. Peng was drawing talismans in the room, Li Lintang couldn't understand it, so he moved a stool and sat in front of the main hall, watching the rain with a plate of edamame, and looking at the tiger by the way.
After breakfast today, Huzi was beaten.
Three days have passed since Zhang Daxian's family turned over the hall. In fact, according to Mr. Peng, Zhang Daxian is not a good person. Huzi wanted to reach out to wake him up, but he was dragged into his hall and used as the meat of the knife. To elaborate, the Zhang family's hall really doesn't have a good thing.
This incident caused Huzi to suffer a lot of injuries, but Huzi was solid, his soul was guided by Mr. Peng's method, and he had been drinking some calming medicine, and he had to recuperate for a day or two, and he was alive again. Huzi originally thought that this matter would pass like this, but Na Cheng thought that Mr. Peng was planning to "settle accounts after the autumn".
Mr. Peng counted two wrong things for Huzi: one was to take it upon himself to venture into other people's halls and put himself in danger; The second is to be willful, and when fighting fiercely with others, he used the magic to almost take his life. So Huzi lay down in front of the three-seater tablet, took off his pants, lay on the stool, and was beaten twenty times!
The whip that beats the tiger is made of willow strips. It has to be a freshly budding wicker at the beginning of spring, cut it off, pinch the head and remove the tail, six or seven twisted into a strand, and it is only done when it dries in the shade. This wicker whip hurts the skin on the flesh, not the muscles and bones, but it is full of toughness, and it hurts to smoke it.
After the fight, Huzi was also drunk and ordered to kneel in front of the tablet with a water bowl on his head to reflect until lunchtime. Li Lintang was also extremely idle, and then said that he wanted to watch Huzi here.
Stretching his fingers and pulling twice in the dish, he found that only the edamame skin was left, Li Lintang stretched his flat mouth and stood up, paced to Huzi and squatted down. Huzi glanced at Li Lintang with his afterglow, but he didn't dare to squeak - he was afraid that the water bowl above his head would fall.
"Oops...... It's just different! Li Lintang sighed, "I also said that my senior brother, the master, is too much of a favored apprentice, and I didn't think it would be like this." It's not the same...... It's just different! Looking at Li Lintang's gloating appearance, the roots of Huzi's teeth itched! But Li Lintang is his uncle, no matter what people say, there is no such thing, and there is still half a bowl of water on his head, Huzi "hummed", and there was no movement.
Li Lintang saw that Huzi didn't take care of himself for a long time, so he simply moved the stool into the house and sat next to Huzi: "Come, talk to your uncle and me for a while!" As he spoke, he took the water bowl off Huzi's head.
"Hey! Uncle Shi, don't! Huzi reached out and grabbed the edge of the bowl, "If my master sees this, my ass will still suffer, I will listen to what you say, you let me bear it." ”
Li Lintang's wrist shook slightly, and Huzi's hand couldn't hold the bowl. Li Lintang splashed the water in the bowl on the ground, held it in his hand, and said, "I'll let you talk to me for a while!" I didn't tell you to get up, but my senior brother saw it, and you said that I allowed you to take it down, what else can he do to me? You kid has the same appearance as I did back then, why don't you see you have half of the courage I did back then? ”
Huzi flattened his mouth and said disapprerovingly: "A few days ago, I said that you were afraid of him when you were a child, and when I really asked after a while, didn't you want to say that I took the idea of 'stealing oil'?" ”
Li Lintang grinned and patted the back of Huzi's head: "You kid just owe a beating!" Is there such a thing as talking to an elder? I ask you, don't talk nonsense - did you really use the magic to kill a king of soldiers at the entrance of the lobby? ”
"Of course!" As soon as Huzi mentioned his "great achievements", he immediately came to his senses, "At that time, the old worm was so scared that he used the means of secretly plotting!" Before he got home from his Dharma practice, I cleaned him up in two clicks! ”
Li Lintang asked again: "How many years have you been learning this martial arts?" ”
Huzi counted on his fingers: "I remember learning it in the spring when I was ten years old, and it has been more than three years now...... It's almost four years. ”
"Four years......," Li Lintang nodded, "I learned foreign kung fu, but the magic control technique is one of our skills and can be called famous, so naturally I know some." Your master also started practicing this trick at the age of ten, and by the age of fifteen he could barely perform it, and by the age of twenty he was a great achiever, able to fight against the great demons. Why do you think that at this age, you can use the Demon Control Technique to suppress a leading soldier king of the Upper Immortal Family? ”
Huzi felt that this was the first time that his uncle had praised himself, and he held his chest high: "That's my talent, my excellent roots, and my cultivation materials!" We are like this, we were born to eat this bowl of rice under our ghost house. ”
"Good! Good! Good! Li Lintang picked his thumb and said hello three times in a row, one higher than the other, "Accepting a disciple with spirituality and roots like you is a blessing for your master and a blessing for our ghost family." You are kneeling in front of our tablet now, the top three, one is our ancestor Guiguzi, the other is our ancestor master, and the other is the teacher of my two brothers. Peng Huzi, you remember, our ghost family is not a bright and upright family, and many of the so-called 'demon eradication and guardian road' miscellaneous people still want our heads, but we don't do things that hurt nature and reason, and lose our conscience. You are Peng Xiuzhen's apprentice, a disciple of my ghost family, if you do something sorry for your master one day, I will pinch you to death! ”
The more he said this, the more hideous Li Lintang's face became. Huzi has only seen him smiling these days, and he has never seen Li Lintang being cruel to himself, and his heart suddenly burst: This uncle is going to eat me! Huzi couldn't understand where Li Lintang's anger came from, and he couldn't figure out why Li Lintang wanted to say such a thing to himself, so he was frightened again and couldn't speak.
Li Lintang saw that Huzi didn't answer, so he patted Huzi on the back of the head again: "Did you hear that?" ”
Only then did Huzi come back to his senses: "Uncle Shi, I'm ...... I remember ......"
Li Lintang let out a sigh of relief, slowed down for a while, and lowered his voice: "Huzi, don't be careful, uncle...... It's because I'm afraid that you will be arrogant and cause a lot of trouble, so I will teach you such a lesson. Me...... I'm afraid that you will follow the old path of our master and your master. ”
Huzi didn't dare to look at Li Lintang, lowered his head and responded: "Yes, I know." ”
"You were going to die," Li Lintang said, "When your master brought you back, you only got angry, not in, if it weren't for your master...... You're a haunted ghost in the womb. Your master is for you...... Let go of the good years! Your master, I know that he must not have told you such a thing. ”
Huzi raised his head at this time. Regarding Mr. Peng's youth, Huzi had never heard Mr. Peng talk about it. Huzi drifted with Mr. Peng when he was young, and knew that Mr. Peng should be a big man. But every time Huzi asked Mr. Peng, Mr. Peng kept his mouth shut, and when he was tired of asking, he sent him to copy calligraphy and painting talismans, but there was no result. Today, I may be able to hear a thing or two from my uncle, and Huzi is very expectant: "Uncle, you said don't follow my master's old path...... What was it like before my master? ”
"When your master was young, he was also a beautiful character!" Li Lintang squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Back then, wherever he went, there were people who 'how are you' and 'I'm waiting here for you', which is a hundred times stronger than now." The rivers and lakes all respectfully call your master 'Ghost Dao Master', how many people dare to stab him with one-handed kung fu? The thousand-year-old man, the ghost prince, and even the big disciples on Longhu Mountain back then were all defeated by your master...... Hey, what am I telling you all this for? You, just remember one sentence, don't be sorry for your master, don't be sorry for the ghost family! ”
"I understand," Huzi nodded, "Huzi knows." ”
"Hmph," Li Lintang sneered, "You know...... You know! After speaking, he put the bowl on the table, put on his hat, and went out of the hall.
Huzi looked up, and the bowl on the case, where Li Lintang had just pinched, was missing a piece the size of a thumb.
The rain fell for most of the day, and it didn't stop until the next day. Huzi was lying on the kang and moving his legs for a while. Kneeling is kneeling on the futon, but there is nothing wrong with the knees, but after kneeling so straight and straight for a long time, the legs are no longer felt. During lunch, Mr. Peng dragged him up from the ground. Looking at Huzi's appearance, Mr. Peng was amused and distressed, and he didn't care about throwing him in the house.
This fight is actually not a big deal for Huzi, but it is commonplace, and it is a big deal to sleep on his stomach for two days.
Huzi is bored here, but there is a person in the front yard, and there is something I want to ask Mr. Peng.
"This matter is too evil, and the people from the government are also here, so I can't see the details." The old man took two puffs of dry smoke and said slowly, "It's a zombie to make trouble, and the people in the village are panicking now." Pity the pepper and her mother, there is no old man at home, how should I live in the future. ”
"Speak slowly, sir," said Mr. Peng, "what the hell is going on." ”
"You don't know? Such a big thing! The old man looked surprised, "Pepper her man, went up the mountain to hunt for many days and didn't come home, yesterday the dog came back by himself, took people up the mountain, and found a bone frame with skin!" ”
