Chapter 012: The Big Brother of Martial Arts
Tang Fu's reply was still polite. They said that the house had not bought maids this year, and most of the servants in the family had worked in the Tang Mansion for generations. Of course, there is no girl with a mole on the corner of her mouth.
Su Zixuan couldn't judge whether what Tang Fu said was true, but he couldn't bother people anymore. After all, the news that Leng Tiehu inquired about was also suspicious.
What the truth is, only the people of the Tang Mansion know.
The Tang family is the largest household in Evian Town. Although Su Zixuan was very unaccustomed to the Tang family's practice of looting people's wealth, he had no intention of interfering.
She told Tiehu the contents of the Tang Mansion's reply.
Tiehu was disappointed. However, this matter can't trouble the academy anymore, Su Zixuan has tried his best, and if he asks for it, he will be reluctantly embarrassed.
When he left the academy, Su Yu chased him out.
"What are you going to do?" Su Yu asked.
"What else can I do. I'll find it myself. I was guarding the gate of the Tang Mansion, and I didn't believe that my sister wouldn't go out. ”
"It's useless." Su Yu said, "My mother wrote to inquire about the situation, and the Tang family was already alert. They're definitely not going to let your sister out again, so let's find another way. ”
"Mei Gongzi, you are the best rich kid I have ever met." Tiehu said, "Poor people like us are bullied everywhere they go, but in Baiyu Academy, you treat me as a human being. Your family treats me well, and I won't forget it. ”
"The world is unfair, and there will always be someone who will stand up and do something to make it better and better." Su Yu said, "Where are you going to go next?" ”
"Uh-" Iron Tiger said after a moment's thought, "I know who to go to." ”
"If there's any news, let me know."
……
Tiehu said goodbye to Su Yu and came to Shi Xiaoshu's house at the foot of the mountain in the north of the city. Xiaoshu's father, Shi Weigui, is Tiehu's uncle.
Xiaoshu's second brother, Shi Dongliang, studied at Baiyu Academy and dealt with Tiehu every day. But the relationship between the two is like the relationship between the two families, a little cold.
Back then, Tiehu's mother Shi Yurong went to the drama troupe and got along with the boss. At that time, the boss still had a family, and Shi Weigui felt that his sister's approach was inappropriate and embarrassed the Shi family, so he persuaded her. My sister didn't listen to him.
The brother and sister fell out, and the two families rarely interacted. The iron tiger is not Shi Yurong's own child. Therefore, the Shi family is lukewarm to Tiehu.
Only Shi Xiaoshu is kind-hearted and willing to treat Tiehu as a brother.
Tiehu told his uncle about his predicament and what happened to his sister. Shi Weigui smoked a hookah, just sighed, and didn't take an idea.
Shi Xiaoshu wanted to help, but he was in a hurry, and he couldn't think of a way.
Xiaoshu's mother is a woman, and after hearing about Tiehu and his sister, she couldn't bear it and left Tiehu to eat at home.
During the banquet, she suggested that Tiehu should not run around outside, instead of running around blindly and aimlessly, it is better to follow her uncle to learn carpentering, and with the craft, you can support yourself, so that you can slowly find your sister.
Tiehu only wants to save his sister, and is not enthusiastic about learning carpentry.
Shi Weigui is also an honest man, since his wife brought it up, he couldn't refute it, so he said:
"If you want, stay and learn carpentry with me. Not to mention that my craft is first-class in Huangjiang County, at least in Evian Town, there is no one who surpasses me.
"Dazhu dances with guns and sticks all day long, doesn't learn carpentry, and the pillars don't want to learn from me, Xiaoshu is enthusiastic, but people are still young. If you really want to learn, I will pass on this craft to you, and in the future, you can also become the first craftsman in Evian Town. ”
My uncle and aunt made it clear that they would be embarrassed to refuse. And, in the current situation, where else can he go? Homeless and nowhere to be reliable, he had to stay in the Shi family first.
Leng Tiehu made up his mind and confessed to his uncle that he was willing to learn carpenter.
Shi Weigui was very happy, asked his wife to prepare some food, and asked Xiaoshu to go and get some wine. That night, a simple apprenticeship ceremony was carried out.
Shi Weigui was happy to see that there were successors to his craft. Tiehu is his nephew, and he can endure hardships, so he is very optimistic about this young man.
Xiaoshu is also very happy, in the past, the eldest brother went to learn kung fu, the second brother went to study, and only he followed his father to do chores all day long. Now that he has one more partner, he is certainly excited.
While the family was eating, Shi Dazhu returned.
Shi Dazhu has been apprenticed to the Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall since he was a child. He is the eldest apprentice of Hu Zhenyuan, the director of the martial arts hall.
Shi Dazhu got the true biography of Hu Zhenyuan. As a senior brother, he often comes forward to take care of some things for his master, and he has won Hu Zhenyuan's trust.
Shi Dazhu learned that his father had accepted Tiehu as an apprentice, and he brought wine to congratulate him.
Shi Weigui was happy, drank a few more glasses, was a little dizzy, and went back to the house to rest. Xiaoshu's mother saw her eldest son come back, and added another dish to let the three brothers talk while eating.
Leng Tiehu thought that this eldest cousin was a martial arts practitioner, and there must be a way to help him rescue his sister, so he raised his wine glass.
"Brother Dazhu, Sister Xueni was bought by a big family, and she was bullied there, can you save her. I found a few good Samaritans, but they couldn't do anything. ”
"The Xinhai Revolution has been successful for many years, how can there still be such a thing of bullying men and women?" Shi Dazhu's voice was very loud, and he spoke in a buzzing voice, "Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall has always been willing to avenge the injustice of the weak. Your business is my brother's business, no problem. I'm going to get my sister out. ”
When Tie Hu heard Shi Dazhu say this, he was extremely happy in his heart. I knew that Brother Dazhu was excellent in martial arts, why didn't he remember it?
Shi Dazhu asked, "Where was Sister Xueni bullied?" With my face, it shouldn't be a problem to say a few words. No matter how bad it is, just spend some silver dollars, and you will definitely be able to redeem the girl. ”
Tiehu said: "My sister is in Tang Yong's house. ”
"What, Tang Mansion?" Shi Dazhu was a little surprised, "The affairs of the Tang Mansion are not easy to handle." Tang Weizhong, the eldest young master of the Tang family, is the head of the Huangjiang County People's League. If you want to fish people from the Tang family, your big brother is not enough. ”
Hearing Shi Dazhu say this, Tiehu's heart suddenly became cold again.
Shi Dazhu was still boasting just now, but he changed his hexagram in a blink of an eye. What he said was the truth, the Tang family was a big tyrant in Evian Town, not an ordinary big family. However, it's not all true.
Recently, Shi Dazhu is secretly preparing a church organization, which is in the name of protecting the territory and the people, and maintaining law and order, but in fact it is a gang.
He had been looking for an opportunity to get in touch with the militia group, hoping that the county militia would co-opt his congregation or give him some weapons.
At this juncture, for the sake of offending the head of the militia group for a sister who is not very close, Shi Dazhu does not dare and is unwilling.
Shi Dazhu sat for a while, and then went back to the martial arts hall. Leng Tiehu fell into helplessness again.
That night, Tiehu and Xiaoshu huddled together on a bed. Xiaoshu has a bright brain, and he is warm-hearted, and he keeps giving ideas to Tiehu, but he is denied by Tiehu again and again.
That night, it rained heavily in Evian.
Just as their sleepy bugs crawled up the tip of their noses, they suddenly heard a knock on the door.
It's raining so hard and the night is so dark, who could it be?
