Chapter 37: Grudges
The carriage left the city gate and headed all the way to the northwest, like a stone tumbling down from Tingzhao Peak.
Drive quickly along a long, winding main road.
If you follow this speed, you can reach Yubei County in two days.
In the carriage, four people sat upright, accompanied by the swaying of the carriage from time to time. But this did not affect their happy mood at the moment, especially the old man surnamed Yan.
Because Master Yan received Yan Hong, he never closed his mouth from the moment he went down the mountain. Instead of closing his mouth, he kept muttering something, probably in his heart with joy or something.
When Lin Qing heard Master Yan's words, he sneered at Yan Hong, who was sitting opposite. Yan Hong noticed what the other party meant, so she also rolled her eyes. Then the two teenagers evolved into a kicking battle, but the action was relatively small. If the two teenagers really fought in the carriage, according to their current cultivation, the carriage shed would have been torn down long ago.
Although the range of movement is small, after all, the interior of the carriage is not large. Master Yan and Grandpa Lin Qing also noticed the actions of the two teenagers, and then looked at each other and smiled. In the eyes of the two elders, these two teenagers are still childish children.
Lin Qing and Yan Hong stopped making trouble, and sat in the car to settle down.
Master Yan and Grandpa Lin Qing also closed their eyes and rested in the shaking of the carriage.
After a day and a half of fast riding by the coachman, the group finally arrived at Changling County at noon on the second day.
As soon as I entered the county town, I found that the city was very lively, and the crowd was gathering to the south. After inquiring, I learned that it was the county keeper Xiao Taishou who set up a table of wine at the Changling Inn to celebrate the admission of Zeng Sheng, a talented boy in the county, to Tianze Academy.
As soon as Yan Hong heard the name, she looked uncomfortable, like knocking on a broken melon seed when she swallowed it. Master Yan found that Yan Hong's expression was displeased, so he asked, "Hong'er, but it's uncomfortable to ride in the car for too long?" Yan Hong touched her stomach and said, "I'm just a little hungry." ”
After hearing this, Master Yan said to Grandpa Lin Qing: "Then let's find an inn to rest for a while, and then hurry after lunch?" Grandpa Lin Qing nodded after listening. Yan Hong immediately interjected after hearing this: "Daddy, then it's better to go to the Changling Inn!" Master Yan waved his hand and said, "It's not good, this county guard is setting up wine at the inn to celebrate, and I am afraid that it will disturb me in the past." ”
"Daddy, how can this celebration be disturbed! The more people there are, the more lively it is, not to mention that we also know the young man, and the county guard will not be surprised. After speaking, he instructed the coachman to rush to the Changling Inn.
Master Yan was helpless, so he had to obey Yan Hong.
A group of four people came to the Changyou Inn, only to see that the door of the inn had been hung with red silk, which was really happy. The outside of the inn was also full of people watching the excitement, and the whole road was blocked for a while.
The four of them finally squeezed out of the crowd, and just as they were about to step into the door of the inn, they were stopped by Xiao Er, who was standing at the door.
"Don't you see a happy event here? Just drill in! Xiao Er pushed impatiently.
This little two is about twenty years old, long and stout, and he was stunned to retreat Master Yan several feet away.
Yan Hong saw that her father was being bullied, and she was furious at the moment. Raising his hand was about to seal it, but seeing this, Lin Qing hurriedly stopped and pulled Yan Hong. Although this little two is strong, it is also an ordinary physique, how can he withstand it.
Master Yan stood up and stepped forward and said, "Second brother, we are here for dinner this time. ”
"Come and eat tomorrow, not today!" Xiao Er is categorical and does not give a trace of affection.
Yan Hong saw that this little second child was too unreasonable, so she shook off Lin Qing, and her hands moved quickly. Then a powerful thought qi went out, and the little two flew up out of thin air, slammed into the door of the inn and smashed to the ground. The red silk that shook down and the plaque of the inn also smashed down, just pressing on Xiao Er's body. The little two had to hold his stomach, cry out in pain, and roll on the ground.
When everyone suddenly saw such a scene, they shouted and screamed, and the passers-by who didn't know why on the periphery also followed suit.
When everyone in the house heard the sound, they dared to stand up and find out. When I went out, I saw everyone pointing at Yan Hong: "It's this little doll, I don't know what demonic means I used to beat this little second brother like this!" ”
Yan Hong looked at Xiao Er, who was rolling on the ground, and his eyebrows were horizontal, and the corners of his mouth were quite high.
Master Yan saw this situation and hurriedly stepped forward to explain, saying that the child was not sensible and had not been educated well, and his face was anxious. But the street was full of people, and no one could hear his words at all.
Shopkeeper Lai glanced at the current situation, and after being stunned for a moment, he asked another guy to help the person into the house. Then he narrowed his eyes and persuaded the crowd to disperse. But this rare bustle, how could they miss it. Seeing that there was no effect, Shopkeeper Lai looked at Xiao Taishou next to him.
Xiao Taishou walked out and said to the crowd: "Today's events are all misunderstandings, let's disperse!" "It's still too guarded to have an effect, and after a while, the crowd dispersed.
After the crowd dispersed, Xiao Taishou saluted Lin Qing and his party again: "I don't know where the little second brother offended a few people, and please ask a few people to be strange." But I also hope that a few people can tell me about the matter, after all, I am a city and a county, and I have to give everyone justice. ”
Mrs. Xiao kept these words for five points to apologize, and five points for asking for guilt. But Yan Hong, who was angry, heard the other five points, and said to the other party: "This shopkeeper is rude to my father!" ”
Yan Hong wanted to say something, but was pulled behind by Master Yan, and then said: "My son is young and ignorant, so it's no wonder that the county guards it!" Lin Qing saw the angry blush, so he also stepped forward to pull him aside to persuade him.
"It's really a misunderstanding, Master Yan originally wanted to take a few of us to this inn to settle down and rest, how did he know that such a thing happened!" Grandpa Lin Qing on the side also came out to play the round. "They are young and angry, and they can't control themselves for a while."
After hearing this, Xiao Taishou also arched his hand and said, "Then I hope to be disciplined." "Obviously, the field was smashed today, and the county guard was also a little unhappy. But since it's not a big deal, it has to be left at that. However, there was nothing to do here, and the young man named Zeng Sheng didn't seem to be very happy. Today is a good day for him after all, but this good day was smashed by others in front of his parents, just like being slapped in the face.
Speaking of it now, he is also a figure with a head and face in Changling County. Others bullied their own home's chassis, and they felt a little uncomfortable.
Zeng Sheng fixed on the four people in front of him, his face was unhappy, and his fists were clenched. In the academy, I saw that he was unhappy, and today there is this reason. If you call a few other classmates, you may be able to give it a try.
Xiao Taishou also saw the unhappiness on Zeng Sheng's face, of course he also knew what Zeng Sheng was thinking. Since he can't come forward, let the boy deal with it himself. His personal face is small, but when it gets out, it is a matter of the county town, and Xiao Taishou still wants to get some face back.
I don't know who sent the letter, but I really beckoned a few teenagers over. As soon as Xiao Taishou saw the battle, he said: "Don't hurt the harmony, let alone use force." Then he said to Master Yan: "Why don't you give Xiao Er a gift, these young people are angry, and it's not good if they don't control it for a while!" ”
Grandpa Lin Qing was a little familiar when he heard this, and he thought that he had just said it, so he "hummed". Master Ke Yan is a good man, and after listening to the words of the county guard, he said, "Okay...... Good...... I'm going to apologize! Then he wanted to go to the inn. As soon as he moved his body, even Yan Hong stopped, "Daddy, you're right, you are not allowed to go." ”
This Xiao Taishou smacked his lips, a little bit of a toast and didn't eat. Zeng Sheng behind him seemed to understand something, and shouted to several teenagers: "Brothers, give him some color to see." "There are seven new teenagers, and when they see that there are many people, they are also emboldened at the moment. It doesn't matter who is on the other side of you, when you have the seal, you are ready to put it on.
Master Yan watched a few ruthless teenagers walking towards him and Yan Hong, and was about to stop him. Yan Hong couldn't let her father take risks, so she used her body to face a few teenagers in front of her father.
When Yan Hong made this move, Zeng Sheng on the opposite side had already urged his thoughts, and looking at the fluctuations of his thoughts, he was not light. I saw that with Zeng Sheng's gesture, that thought quickly hit Yan Hong's back. However, Yan Hong didn't notice it at all, and Master Yan was hugged by Yan Hong, so he could only watch this strange fluctuation fly towards Yan Hong.
At this critical moment, a barrier like a water curtain suddenly appeared behind Yan Hong, completely blocking Yan Hong and his father. Zeng Sheng's fluctuations, as well as the fluctuations released by several other teenagers, were all dissolved and resisted by the seemingly soft water curtain in front of him.
Just when Xiao Taishou and a few teenagers were stunned, a voice came from behind the water curtain.
"Bullying Yan Hong? With my consent!! ”
It was Lin Qing who spoke, and his voice was deep because he was a little angry.
As he spoke, Lin Qing had already made a handprint. When several people looked at him, a column of water like a giant python quickly struck several teenagers. The water-shaped python quickly engulfed several teenagers, and then lifted them into the air, strangling them to immobility.
Lin Qing stared at the teenagers in front of him expressionlessly, while Zeng Sheng struggled unconvinced. The rest of the teenagers were already pale with fright, they knew who the teenager standing in front of him was, they just didn't know that just half a year had passed, and this teenager had become so tough.
Xiao Taishou next to him was even more frightened and squatted on the ground.
At this time, a voice came from not far away: "Don't hurt the harmony." As the voice landed, Lin Qing's giant python formed by the water column also slowly retreated, and several teenagers slowly fell down as if they had been caught.
Lin Qing looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw an old man with a thin face and a tall face walking towards this side, the old man was about in his early sixties, dressed in plain clothes, and wearing a bronze hibiscus crown on his head. Lin Qing recognized at a glance that it was the old heavenly master on the way to school before, and when the arrival came to him, Lin Qing saluted respectfully.
"It's all neighborhoods, a misunderstanding." The tall and thin old man smiled, and then picked up Xiao Taishou, who was squatting aside, and put it aside.
The thin and tall old man saluted Lin Qing's grandfather alone, and after saying this, the old man made a gesture of invitation and motioned for a few people to enter the inn.
Yan Hong saw the down-and-out appearance of several teenagers, and immediately said with a happy face: "Go in and eat." When I entered the door, I didn't forget to turn around and say: "My family sells cloth, who will show the color?" ”
When the shopkeeper saw the Heavenly Master coming, he hurriedly ordered the kitchen to serve the food. Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and signaled that the dishes in the back kitchen were prepared for Xiao Taishou. The squinting shopkeeper came up and slapped Xiao Er's head, saying that he didn't know the current affairs.
Lin Qing and his entourage were full of tea and food, and after talking to the old heavenly master, they drove away from the city gate.
The tall and thin old man sent the man away, and then went back to the inn and sat down at the table. Xiao Taishou was about to say something, but he heard the old man slap the table, which shook the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and slapped Xiao Taishou's words back.
"My son doesn't know how much he has entered Tianze Courtyard? Look at the people you are wearing now, forgetting who you used to be? Have you ever heard that the son does not teach, and the father is wrong? The Celestial Master said to a couple. If you look closely, you can find that this couple is Zeng Sheng's grandmother, but now they are dressed better than before.
"And you. As a county guard, he has no sense of proportion, and lets them come nonsense! If something happens today, how can you and I deal with it? The tall and thin old man continued, with a look of anger.
Xiao Taishou wanted to say something, glanced at the angry old man, and buried his head again. The old man sat up straight, calmed down and said, "Today's matter is over, and there will be no more troubles!" ”
After hearing this, several people nodded again and again, only Zeng Sheng's young man was full of disdain.
