Chapter 9: A Straw Bale
Li Ding tossed and turned this night and couldn't sleep, but this night was destined to be an extraordinary night, when the first rays of the morning sun shone into Sea Cliff Town from the sea, Li Ding was already standing at the window.
In the still unfamiliar seaside town, everything is still going on as yesterday, and it has been lively and busy early, and the noise is not stopped. But the young man's heart was no longer what it used to be, and he suddenly understood that the so-called living for himself was to live a different life, and with him as a helpless young man, if he wanted to achieve this goal, there was only one way in front of him - to become a cultivator.
Since he was rescued, Li Ding, who has a long road ahead, has no extravagant hopes for his future, but when a new and tempting world gradually opens up in front of him, the stubbornness and unyielding in his bones are quietly revealed, and at the same time, the ** for the exploration of the unknown world is also slowly ignited by the blood surname buried deep in his heart.
Ethnicity, royal family, cultivation, there are too many things that even Xiaocui doesn't know that Li Ding needs to learn and explore. Li Ding's heart seems to have an invisible string, constantly plucked by these unknown things.
It's just that Li Ding is still unclear now, the world he will face is a world where crises and opportunities coexist, and the path of cultivation he chose is full of hardships and pains, which will be completely unimaginable to him before.
"Little Dingzi, give Miss Ben a quick death. ”
Just as Li Ding was still immersed in hope for the future, the girl's caustic voice came from downstairs out of place. For this second lady of the Yu family, Li Ding really felt a little speechless, she was still on the boat with him, but after returning to the island the day before, she didn't know where she went, so it was rare to be quiet for a day, and I don't know what crazy she was doing early in the morning.
Looking down at Yu Min, who was standing downstairs with his hands on his waist and his mouth slightly bulging, Li Ding shook his head and said with a smile: "It's early in the morning, I don't know what happened to Xiao Minzi looking for a boy?"
"Xiao Minzi?" As soon as Li Ding's voice fell, Yu Min's expression was obviously stunned, and then he frowned: "You dare to call me Xiao Minzi, if you scream like this again, see if I don't tear your mouth." After speaking, he rushed into the building, only to hear the sound of footsteps downstairs, and after a while, the door of Li Ding's room was pushed open with a bang.
To Yu Min's surprise, there was no shadow of Li Ding in the square room, and he ran to the window to take a look, only to see that Li Ding had slid down the window to the edge of the house on the second floor.
"If you have the ability, you should run away, it is best to leave this Lingyan Island, and don't let Miss Ben see you again. Yu Min's little face turned red and scolded. But Li Ding ignored her scolding at all, leaned down and leaned down, just grabbed the wooden spine under the mouth, and then turned down and landed lightly on the edge of the first floor, and then fell to the ground like a gourd.
"Boring, are you only allowed to call others like that?" Li Ding shook his head and looked at the window, there was no shadow of Yu Min anymore, obviously the girl chased after him again.
Li Ding hurriedly turned around, but unexpectedly bumped into a person, and when he looked up, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who was a whole head taller than him, was staring at him with a playful smile. Behind him, three teenagers of about the same age stood, smiling maliciously.
"You're that Li Ding, aren't you? You're good, why don't you climb up and show us again." The tall boy said with a joke.
Li Ding sensed a hint of danger from the young man's words, and asked cautiously, "I don't seem to know you." ”
"It doesn't matter if you know me or not, you just need to know this. The corner of the tall boy's mouth raised, and suddenly his right hand turned into a fist and hit Li Ding's head is a punch, which came down without warning, and Li Ding was knocked to the ground with a punch before he had time to react.
"Stupid, you're not going to hide from you. Yu Min's voice came, and his petite figure flashed between Li Ding and the tall boy, glaring at the tall boy angrily and saying, "Yuan Cheng, you don't care about my affairs." ”
Li Ding gritted his teeth and sat up, the intense pain made his face slightly distorted, and his head was buzzing. The sudden change made him feel inexplicable, but listening to Yu Min's words, it was obvious that this incident was caused by her, and when he looked up, the young man named Yuan Cheng was glaring at him angrily, Li Ding couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in his heart, and his eyes were also cold, staring straight at each other.
For Li Ding's gaze, Yuan Cheng frowned obviously, gritted his teeth and said to Yu Min: "He bullied you, if I don't know, I can ignore it, but since I know, there is no reason to ignore it, if I don't dismantle him today, this matter will not be over." ”
"Don't make trouble unreasonably, it's your mother who asked me what I saw and heard about this time at sea, I only said that Xiao Dingzi was a little annoying, I didn't say that this stupid boy bullied me. Yu Min frowned and said slightly angrily.
"Hmph. Yuan Cheng sneered: "Xiao Dingzi, you call it really affectionately, sure enough, there is a ghost in your heart, you ran back early in the morning, if you didn't want to protect this kid, why didn't you even eat the breakfast that my mother made." ”
"Yuan Cheng, what do you mean by this?" Yu Min stomped his feet angrily, with some crying.
"You know in your own heart, fortunately I have a heart, don't think I don't know anything, I have to break this kid's leg today. That Yuan Cheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, bypassing Yu Min and running towards Li Ding.
Hearing this, Li Ding's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he hurriedly used his hands and feet together, sat and retreated sharply, but when he turned around, he saw that the three teenagers who had followed Yuan Cheng just now had already blocked behind him, and they pressed him down and put his face on the ground. Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming, and it is obvious that these three guys have already planned it.
"Phew, I have the ability to fight alone, I'm not afraid of you. Spit out a mouthful of mud, Li Ding stubbornly scolded.
Here, Yuan Cheng had already deceived himself, stepped on Li Ding's face, and said with a disdainful smile: "Single-handed? Do you think they are all as stupid as you? Let's go back and talk to your mother." Say, do you want your left leg or your right leg?"
"Yuan Cheng, don't go too far. Yu Min turned around and shouted, his eyes full of worry.
Seeing Yu Min's appearance, Yuan Cheng's eyes were even more angry, and he stepped on Li Ding almost fainted, and when he turned around, he stepped on his left leg bone.
"Ah......" Li Ding struggled hard, but his body was held down by the three teenagers, and he couldn't move.
"Presumptuous!" Between the lightning and flint, a loud sound suddenly came, Li Ding only felt a strong wind blowing behind him, and the dust was flying, and he disappeared in an instant when he pressed his hand.
After only hearing a few "bang" sounds, there was a moan of "ouch" on the side. Li Ding looked at it fixedly, and saw that Yuan Cheng, who was still showing off his might in front of him just now, fell to the ground with a disgraced face. The three teenagers hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, and shouted in their mouths, "Young Master, it's okay." ”
"Young Master, is such a person a young master?" Li Ding suddenly remembered Xiao Cui's words the night before, and a sense of disgust couldn't help but rise in his heart.
Li Ding sat on the ground and turned his head to see that the person who came was dressed in a gray robe, with long sleeves and no wind to puff himself, a wrinkled dark face, and a pair of sharp eyes revealing a breathtaking coercion, it was the elder of the Yu clan.
"Grandpa. Yu Min let out a coquettish cry and rushed straight into the arms of the visitor, tears immediately burst out of his eyes, and he couldn't cry.
"A good son of Yuan's tutor, today my old man Yu can be regarded as insightful. But this isn't the place where you can go wild, and if nothing happens, get out of here with your people. Hugging Yu Min, Yu Lao said with a gloomy face.
Yuan Cheng stood up with the support of his companions, but said coldly: "Even the elders of the Yu clan have to protect this wild boy." ”
Hearing this, Yu Lao's face became even more gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "No big or small, the old man doesn't protect anyone, and it's not your turn to talk about it." said before that if your mother hadn't come to the door in person, the old man would never let Min'er pass. Back then, the old man didn't agree to this family business, and today the old man is still in charge, go back and tell your father, just say what I Yu Xiangdong said, Yu Yuan's two families, this family, is abolished. After finishing speaking, the wooden staff in his hand slammed heavily on the ground, and a green brick instantly turned into powder.
"You ......" Yuan Cheng's eyes only wanted to erupt fire, but there was a faint surge of killing intent, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Old horseman, if you have the ability, you will kill me today, otherwise you will regret saying this today." ”
"Do you think the old man wouldn't dare!" Yu Lao was obviously really enraged by Yuan Cheng's words, a green light flashed in his eyes, and the green bricks on the ground burst out one by one in front of him, and he went straight to Yuan Cheng with a "crackling" sound.
"Sizzle......" Yuan Cheng gasped, his eyes showed fear for the first time, and he grabbed a young man next to him and blocked him. The sudden change made the young man's face instantly turn pale and his mouth wide, but before he could scream, he heard a "poof", and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person directly withered.
"Mom, ......" Seeing this scene, the other two teenagers quickly flashed to the side in fear, for fear that next time they would be human shields. Looking at Yuan Cheng again, he was already trembling with fright, and a large piece of wet under his feet was so wet that he was directly frightened and peed his pants.
Yu Lao frowned slightly, looking at the young man who was injured by his mistake, the anger in his heart instantly calmed down, and he couldn't help sighing, and said to the frightened Yuan Cheng: "A straw bag, the heart is vicious, get out, don't let the old man see you again." ”
This time, Yuan Cheng was a little surprised, shaking his legs, turning around and running on the street, and soon disappeared around the corner of the street.
This change in front of the post house had long attracted the attention of passers-by, but those people just glanced at it from a distance and immediately took a detour, obviously not wanting to be involved.
On the other side, the two teenagers who came with Yuan Cheng were obviously a little at a loss, and Yu Lao shook his head helplessly again, threw a small bottle to one of them and said, "Take it, this is a little healing medicine." I was just scaring the straw bale just now, and I didn't really do anything to you and the other children. As he spoke, he pointed to the young man hiding on the ground and said, "His injuries shouldn't be serious, take his companions back, don't follow this kind of person in the future, otherwise I don't know how to die." ”
The two teenagers agreed and hurriedly picked up their companions, and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
At this time, Yu Lao's face had returned to normal, and he comforted Yu Min in his arms a little, and after a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, he turned around and looked at Li Ding, who was still on the ground, and said, "Boy, are you okay?"
At this time, Li Ding was staring at Yu Lao in a daze, and his eyes were full of shock.
This is the first time Li Ding has seen Yu Lao make a move on people, he looked back at the destroyed green bricks on the ground, remembered the scene of his previous abuse, although he was unwilling in his heart, he smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay, it's only to blame myself for not being able to do it, and I can't blame others." ”
Yu Lao chuckled lightly and said, "That's good, I'm afraid that your kid will be hit by his self-confidence and will be slumped from now on." ”
Li Ding rubbed his head, which was still dizzy and aching, and said, "If that's the case, the kid will be too sorry for Yu Lao's life-saving grace." As he spoke, he jumped up.
Looking at Li Ding, who looked indifferent, Yu Lao nodded and didn't say anything more, but the hand holding Yu Min tightened slightly, and the complicated color in his eyes became even stronger.
It's just that no one knows, and the previous events made Li Ding understand another truth, that is, if you want to live a good life in this world, you can't do it without strength. Because, Li Ding never wants to be a straw bag.
