Chapter 52: The Storm (2)
"Lotus? Who is it? The cold light in Wu Yu's eyes flickered, and he gradually calmed down from the anger just now. The royal child, no matter how incompetent and stupid, has to learn some riding and archery since he was a child, and he can only flee for his life in front of the assassins sent by his brother, but he may not even be able to beat a peasant boy.
"All I have to do is ruin your face and turn you into an ugly bastard, and she'll marry me." Zhao Qingshan's eyes flashed with the shy look of the lotus, the heart in his chest that had been hurt violently hurt, and his courage suddenly skyrocketed, and he grabbed the iron piece and rushed forward.
Wu Yu dodged and slapped a broom on his head and face, Zhao Qingshan couldn't dodge, and his neck was instantly cut by a bamboo branch a few times, oozing a trace of blood, so painful that he screamed, his eyes were even redder, and he waved the iron piece like crazy and rushed up again.
It's a pity that he is just a peasant child, he has not studied martial arts seriously, he only relies on his strength to be greater than other children on weekdays, and occasionally bullies them, and now he is an opponent to Wu Yu, who has learned a few tricks, but after more than a dozen rounds, his head and face were drawn like blood gourds, and the back of his head was even harder, and it was numb and painful to the touch.
He was so tired that his throat was like pulling a bellows, snoring, stroking the bookcase with one hand, holding the iron piece with the other, staring at Wu Yu who came over, and finally a trace of fear was born in his heart, it turned out that this kid who looked more beautiful than a girl was much stronger than himself.
Wu Yu smiled coldly, raised his foot and kicked him to the ground, stepped on his chest with black cotton shoes, lowered his head and said mockingly, "Do you know that you have committed a capital crime, and even your father and mother and your brother will die with you, not beheaded, but tied to a pillar with a thousand cuts!" Do you know what a thousand cuts are? ”
Wu Yu picked up the piece of iron that fell to the side and waved it casually, "It's to use a dagger that is a hundred times sharper than this to cut off the flesh on your body piece by piece, and in the end, there are only bones left on your body, and there is no flesh at all, but you are still panting..."
His voice was low and flat, but Zhao Qingshan's face turned pale when he heard it, and he retorted in a trembling voice, "You... You, scare people, my mother... Say you're a cheap slave and beat you to death... People also manage. ”
"Then you said that now that I kill you, no one cares?"
Zhao Qingshan watched Wu Yu holding the iron piece and gently scratching it around his neck, he was completely afraid, his face was as white as transparent, and his eyes were staring at him, for fear that Wu Yu would really cut his throat and end his life in the next moment.
Wu Yu snorted coldly twice, and suddenly inserted a knife, Zhao Qingshan screamed in horror, closed his eyes deadly, but he didn't feel the severe pain for a long time, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the iron piece was inserted on the ground next to his ear, and the joy of being in a desperate place made his heart relax instantly, and his lower body also opened the gate, and the feces and urine flowed together, and he finally whimpered and cried, "Spare my life, I don't want to die, I won't marry the lotus, I don't dare..."
Wu Yu looked at him like this, clapped his hands in disgust, turned around to open the door, only to see Da Zhuang and Heizi standing outside the door with embarrassed faces.
"You're here for revenge too?"
"No, you were rescued by Shiniang, and we won't beat you." Heizi hurriedly took a stand, but Wu Yu snorted coldly and didn't appreciate it, the two of them might not help Zhao Qingshan deal with him, but he didn't go in to stop him just now, if it wasn't for his own self-preservation, I'm afraid he would be lying on the ground now.
Da Zhuang didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes flashed with a complicated light, and he threw down a sentence, "It's time to give Mr. a hot meal." Then he took the sunspot and left first.
Wu Yu turned around to see Zhao Qingshan, who didn't know if he fainted in fright, or pretended to be dead, turned his head and left...
After noon, before the end of the hour, there were fewer people on the dock, Ruixue was in a good mood today, and he was worried about going home to sell tofu, so he closed the shop early, prepared the evening meal for the bolt and stone, and left some homework, so he went back to the village with Zhang's sister-in-law.
As soon as the two of them walked into the village, they saw Yuwa running over in a hurry, and when they saw the two of them, they were immediately overjoyed, and shouted loudly, "Three masters, three masters, you are finally back." ”
Rui Xue smiled and waved her hand, "This is in the village, call me Zhao Niangzi or sister-in-law." ”
Yuwa shook her head desperately, gasped twice, and felt that her chest was not uncomfortable, so she said, "Sister-in-law, go home and take a look, Second Sister-in-law Zhao is making trouble at your house with her child." ”
"What kind of crazy smoke is she, why is she making trouble?" Sister-in-law Zhang was anxious when she heard this, but Ruixue had already raised her legs and walked home.
It is said that Qingshan was indeed frightened by Wu Yu and fainted, lying on the cold bluestone floor for half an hour before waking up, getting up and trembling and returning home, bent on finding his mother to support him and avenge him, but there was no shadow of half a person at home, and his father had not come back when he went out to work.
So he went to the Chen family next door, and sure enough, Zhao's second sister-in-law was sitting in the middle of a bunch of little daughters-in-law, spitting everywhere, and was not knowing whose gossip was rising, and at a glance he saw the eldest son standing at the door like a blood gourd, and he was so shocked that he jumped off the ground and grabbed the eldest son and asked, "Son, what's wrong with you, who bullied you, tell your mother." ”
No matter how precocious Zhao Qingshan is, he is only a thirteen-year-old boy, after the fright just now, he suddenly heard his mother's inquiry, he couldn't bear it anymore, and cried, "Mother, he wants to kill me, he wants to cut me with a thousand knives, he wants to cut my flesh..."
Zhao's second sister-in-law was furious, and her heart hurt like cooking and frying, "Who is it?" You tell your mother, and your mother goes desperately with him! ”
"It's Mr. Backyard's house... That little beggar who picked it up! ”
When Zhao's second sister-in-law heard this, she was immediately furious, wow, a little beggar can bully her son, she really can't be good-tempered, she touched a big scissors in the needlework basket on the kang and pulled her son out of the door.
The seven or eight little daughters-in-law and eldest daughters sitting on the kang finally woke up from a series of surprises, and jumped off the kang to stop them, but unfortunately, Zhao's second sister-in-law was bent on avenging her son, where could she listen to their persuasion, and disappeared outside the gate in a blink of an eye.
Everyone felt that this matter was going to make a big fuss, so they put on shoes and jackets, and ran home to find the elders of each family to persuade them, and the woman was good at gossiping, but before the house arrived, she first said that she had listened to others, and the news was passed around, and the news was gone.
There is no work in winter, everyone is a little panicked at home, when they heard that Zhao Er's sister-in-law was carrying a kitchen knife to kill Zhao Niangzi, they were all shocked with straight eyes, and then rushed to Zhao's house, of course, people's hearts are different from good and evil, some are afraid that Ruixue and his wife will suffer, and they are anxious to help, some are purely watching the excitement, and naturally there are also those who want to fan the flames and vent their evil anger for themselves.
So when Rui Xue arrived in front of her house, the already small courtyard was already stuffed with more than 100 people, and she couldn't wait for the whole village to gather.
When everyone saw her come back, they were a little embarrassed and greeted each other, "Zhao Niangzi, you're back." ”
Ruixue nodded, didn't pay much attention, and walked in along the path that everyone had given way.
The Zhao family once spent countless efforts to keep a neat and clean small yard, but now it is a mess, the white muslin gauze that was washed yesterday was torn off the bamboo pole and thrown on the muddy ground, which was full of black footprints, and the two small clay jars placed on the side of the yard have been smashed, and the dried peppers and frozen cabbage hanging under the eaves have also been torn apart, and they are everywhere.
Zhao Qingshan stood in front of the crowd with a bloody face, half proud and half afraid, looking at the crazy second sister-in-law Zhao, who was stopped by a group of women, holding scissors and howling to scratch the cotton paper on the window.
And Zhao Fengnian stood by the door with a pale face, the fist hanging by his side trembled slightly, as if he was desperately holding back his anger, so he didn't step forward to shoot Zhao's second sister-in-law to death, Heizi, Da Zhuang and Zhang Dahe stood behind him, and he didn't know what to say with a resentful face.
Rui Xue stood there silent, silent for a long time, turned her head and nodded at Zhao Fengnian, who was looking over.
Zhao Fengnian breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, just now he had eaten, and when he was about to take a nap, this woman suddenly broke into the yard with a child, threw it when he saw it, and smashed it when he saw it, he scolded him angrily, but it was useless at all, he had the heart to step forward and pull her away, and even stunted her with a palm, and felt that as a man, it was really unseemly to pull a woman, and when he was in trouble, countless villagers poured into the yard, and he couldn't do it easily. But when he saw that Ruixue's carefully maintained courtyard was destroyed like this, he was angry and hateful in his heart, and he was extremely annoyed that those women were pretending, and four or five people couldn't stop one.
It's good that Rui Xue is back now, he can't do it, Rui Xue is also a woman, but she won't have such scruples.
Sure enough, a few women who were pulling Zhao's second sister-in-law in front of the window were shocked to suddenly quiet down behind them, and when they turned around and saw Ruixue's cold appearance, they immediately withdrew their hands and stepped aside.
Rui Xue smiled suddenly, her thin lips were light, but her voice was like ice beads, "There are a few sisters-in-law who help my sister-in-law protect the window paper." ”
Several women's faces were even more embarrassed, and they all said, "Don't dare, don't dare." In fact, they did not do their best to stop them just now, but they were just making a show in front of their neighbors and elders, and they also sold Mr. Zhao a favor, and at this time, they heard Ruixue's light thanks, and they felt a little embarrassed in their hearts.
Zhao's second sister-in-law drew a few frames of window paper, heard the movement behind her, just turned around, heard the "crackling" sound twice, her face instantly burned with pain, she didn't see who hit her, she was hit seven or eight times in succession, golden stars appeared in front of her eyes, and her body slid down softly against the window.
Zhao Qingshan screamed, "You dare to hit my mother!"
Rui Xue gently shook her numb right hand and looked at him coldly, the coldness and anger in her eyes frightened Zhao Qingshan, and he didn't dare to take a half step forward for a while.
The courtyard was silent, and everyone was so shocked by Ruixue's cold appearance and decisive methods that they didn't know how to react.
