A group of people collected the troops, and Lingwa was escorted to the front. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A procession of seventy or eighty men filled a narrow street, and seventy or eighty torches lit up half of the sky.
The family members and the officers and soldiers exchanged ears, and they were still unfinished and discussed. Most of them are discussing how Lingwa's stick method just now, where did he come from, and how his life experience developed to this day——?
When Lingwa walked to the corner of the street, he found that there were already a lot of people gathered to watch the excitement, and in the darkness people looked around, and a pair of curious eyes looked at him like a rare treasure. The expressions are different, some admire, some shake their heads!
In full view of everyone, he was escorted by all the officers and soldiers, and walked towards the large black compound in the center of the town in the distance.
Lingwa was escorted into the Wanjia compound and tied under another large pear tree.
At this time, Leng Banxian had been lowered from the tree and sat in a corner of the courtyard, but his hands were still tied. Seeing Lingwa coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward, and saw his face covered with blood by the light of the fire, dirty, and embarrassed, and asked in surprise,
"What's wrong, baby?"
Lingwa glanced at him and didn't say anything,
Seeing Wan Jinbao and the three boxers who came in later, he hurriedly caught up and asked,
"Uncle, uncle, this, this- why is this?"
"Ask yourself - less verbose!" and with a wave of his hand, the crowd pulled the old man aside.
"You can't do this, uncle, what kind of law did my two two break in the end? Why are you like this-"
Leng Banxian looked aggrieved and shouted loudly.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a gray and white robe walked into the courtyard on the other side, followed by two little girls, tall and thin, shaking their heads and sneering.
When everyone saw him, they all made way for him.
Wan Jinbao didn't say much when he saw him, he just followed the boxer and the other two officers into the other courtyard to rest, as if the affairs of the outer courtyard were handled by him.
The man slowly approached the spirit baby, looking up and down viciously.
Lingwa also looked at him angrily.
Suddenly, the man raised his hand and slapped Lingwa, snapped, and the two girls next to him stepped aside!
Then another slap, slap, slap, slap, and then left, right, a dozen times in a row, the beating Lingwa shook her head left and right, and the corners of her mouth flew blood.
After slapping him, he stretched out his hand to the person next to him and said,
"Get some water to wash your hands, and bring two more cloths over - Lao Tzu will also practice today, boxing!"
Leng Banxian couldn't stand it anymore, and kept kowtowing beside him, pleading loudly,
"Second master, second master—please stop beating him—he's still a child!
Wan Jinlong ignored him.
Seeing a family Ding coming over with a basin of water, he washed the blood stains stuck to his hands, and then took the two cloth belts given by the family, and slowly wrapped them around the palms of his hands.
Seeing this, Lingwa thinks that you are here to take revenge, do you want to beat Lao Tzu to death——!
After wrapping his hands, Wan Jinbao slowly took off his long shirt, put on a white short coat and blue pants, with a fierce face, and slowly put on the shelf.
He didn't know kung fu, and the frame he pulled out was also stiff and awkward, and he was very ungood, he thought to himself, wait for you kid for so long, and wait until today! Lao Tzu will also let you taste the taste of beating people today, what is a blue nose and swollen face? Dizziness and dizziness? What is chest tightness and shortness of breath, and I don't think about tea and dinner? Lao Tzu has grown so big, in the entire Wanshan County, even Lao Tzu's parents don't dare to touch it easily, and you kid dares to beat me -- let you know what the consequences are today?!
I saw that this guy was full of strength, clenched his fists and shook in front of Lingwa, and suddenly punched towards the door in front of him, Lingwa turned his head and couldn't dodge, hit the right eye socket, and suddenly his right eye was black, and it hurt to drill his heart!
It doesn't hurt on the body, but it hurts in the eyes. I couldn't help but close my right eye, and tears fell straight down my eyes-
Here, Leng Banxian knelt on the ground, shouting and begging,
"Second master, second master! You can't beat him! You can't beat him! Please stop beating him-it's all the old man's lax discipline, it's all the old man's fault! You just punish me--second master!"
——
Lingwa is a little anxious now. I thought to myself, although this guy didn't know kung fu, but I was tied to a tree, and my body couldn't move, and I became his live rake, and although his fists and kicks were not strong, I was almost blinded by the blows.
If you continue like this, you will not die but will also be crippled for life - I am really unwilling in my heart!
Taking advantage of the strength of the golden dragon, when he looked at the eyes of the Lingwa and wanted to attack again, the Lingwa also secretly lucked her legs!
Calculate the right time, take advantage of the moment when he stepped forward, and was just about to punch, look at his wide face, and fly up first-
I saw the head of the golden dragon rise backwards, and the whole person was two feet off the ground, and he fell backwards with a thud, and fell heavily to the ground, motionless—
When the surrounding families saw this, they were taken aback! They ran up one after another, some went to help Wan Jinlong, and some brought ropes to tie up the Lingwa's feet, and shouted,
"It's over, it's over, you kid, it's dead!"
This kick hit the door of Wanjin Longmian hard, and immediately knocked the guy unconscious.
Everyone helped him up and sat on the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose, some helped him stop the bleeding, some helped him rub his waist and rub his back, and it took him a long time to wake up slowly-
As if he had a nightmare, he first opened his eyes, looked left and right at the person who was helping him, as if he did not know him, and then asked the people in a daze, "Where is this?"
Everyone replied: "In the front yard, second master, front yard!"
He sighed, and slowly saw a large number of people with torches in the dark, and a person tied to a tree not far away, and then he regained consciousness-
Struggling to get up from the ground, pushing everyone away, a fierce look returned to his face, looking at the spirit baby who was tied up by five flowers and tied to the tree, he didn't care that his nose was still bleeding, and said coldly to the people next to him,
"Give me a stick——!"
I thought, Lao Tzu looks at how hard you are at the bottom? Lao Tzu doesn't believe in you and doesn't accept you!
A Ding brought a stick, he took it, just wanted to take two steps forward, and felt lightheaded, his eyes were glazed, and his brain seemed to burst?
Seeing that he was staggering, he hurriedly stepped forward and said,
"I'll come, Second Master! I'll come—you rest and be careful!"
"Beat me!****** the rabbit cub - beat it hard - beat it to death——!" he handed the stick to the housekeeper, pointed at the spirit baby and said fiercely word by word.
The guy took the stick, walked up to Lingwa, glanced at him, shook his head, rolled up his sleeves, and then raised the stick left and right, snap, snap, snap!
When Lingwa saw that person, she thought, why did you take the initiative to ask Ying to beat me?
But when the stick fell, it didn't hurt at all, half of it hit the tree next to it, and the other half fell on me?
This made him a little puzzled? I don't know if the other party did it on purpose, or if it was dark and I couldn't see it clearly? Could it be that there are still good people in the courtyard of ten thousand families?
Leng Banxian next to him didn't stop, shouting desperately,
"You can't beat him! Where is the reason? Where is the reason——?
Wan Jinlong, who screamed straight, was upset, and he waved his hand to the two family members who were guarding the old man, and the two immediately led the old man out of the front yard-
And the guy who beat him is also a middle-aged man, with a good face, and he really has ulterior motives.
Watching everyone beating up a child, thinking that even if he had great ability, he was only a minor; and seeing Wan Jinlong eat Lingwa's kick, he was determined to put Lingwa to death, and couldn't help but step forward to ask for help, thinking, I think you are a child, and you can be regarded as a rare talent in Wanlai Town!
Wan Jinlong watched from the side for a while, only to feel dizzy, couldn't stand it, and wanted to go back to the room to rest.
When I left, I still didn't feel at ease, thinking that Lao Tzu had just healed the injury, and let you bastard make up for it, when would it be better this time?
However, all the subordinates knew Wan Jinlong and knew that he was not the number one person in the Wanjia Compound, and no one dared to listen to all of his words, and they all believed it! They all knew that Lingwa was a prisoner named by the county government, and that some officers and soldiers were arrested with knives, and if they were really killed, who would be responsible? How could they make an errand? Even Wan Jinbao did not give such orders!
Besides, I just saw Lingwa's skills, and most of them had a little admiration in their hearts-
So after Wan Jinlong left, a few guards hit Lingwa intentionally or unintentionally.
Lingwa didn't appreciate their affection, and said to a few people unconvinced,
"You can fight, as long as I don't die, one day, I will take revenge, I remember you!"
This sentence made several family members unable to get their hands down, and the sticks in their hands became more and more weak.
At this time, the old man Wan Shichang slowly walked out of the backyard with a crutch, and saw that Lingwa was still angry and afraid;
"Watch him, don't beat him - go back and hand it over to the yamen to deal with!"
After speaking, he glanced at Lingwa coldly, and Lingwa also glared at him fiercely, he was a little stunned in his heart, and turned to leave.
The old man thought to himself, go back and ask the yamen people to clean you up! You boy is a newborn calf, and you don't know what it means to kill people with a knife? I have already given in, I don't know what is going on with you provoking me or telling you to die, right?
——
The next morning, I saw that the town was plastered all over the town, written in black and white, clearly written, saying: The cattle and horse thieves who have plagued the villagers in this town for a long time have been caught! Villagers who have lost their cattle or horses in their homes in recent years are requested to report and register at the Wanjia compound as soon as possible! Wait for the yamen to deal with them!
In addition, this thief will be on a tour of the streets for a week this afternoon, and the villagers can identify them on the spot, and then escort them to the county office!
——
Just after noon, the gate of the old compound of Wanjia was opened, and the two teams of family members lined up first, side by side on both sides of the gate. The first to lead was a gong bearer, dressed in black and red trousers, with a big gong twisted in his hand, and swaggered out; then two rows of officers and soldiers in full armor and holding Dapu swords, each row of five, a total of ten people walked in front; Lingwa wore a flail and a lock, dragged iron shackles and walked in the middle, followed by Leng Banxian.
Leng Banxian may have considered that he was too old to threaten anyone, and he only wore iron shackles, not shackles and leg shackles. The old man walked behind, his face full of tears and his head hung down! He was followed by more than a dozen heavily armed officers and soldiers, and finally Wan Jinbao and several officers rode on big horses, walking in the rear, full of spirits.
As soon as I entered the street, the gong in front of me rang and banged! The sound was majestic and loud, which made people afraid and cold!
Lingwa's expression was indifferent, and when she saw the neighbors watching along the street, she shouted from time to time,
"I'm wronged, I'm wronged, I'll be back!"
Most of the people know, with their usual performance, naturally few people believe that Lingwa is a thief who steals horses and cattle, and no one comes out to identify him after walking a few streets; most people still believe that in recent times, Lingwa has angered the Wanjia compound, and it is an inevitable result to this day!
After a lot of discussions, seeing Leng Banxian's decadent appearance, someone sighed, saying that there will be one less half-immortal in the town in the future! Who should I ask for a sign and a doctor?
When a group of people pass by the 10,000 noodle restaurant, they find that the noodle restaurant is closed. Boss Wan was already standing on the side of the street waiting, and there were two shopkeepers standing next to him, one holding a cup and a wine jug in his hand, and two bags of things on the ground.
When the horses approached, Boss Wan hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the silver taels to the officer, asking for a moment, and if he had something to say, the officer listened to his introduction, and then promised to stop for a while.
I saw Leng Banxian and Lingwa, both of them were disheveled, their faces were haggard, they hadn't seen each other for a day, and they were like a world away;
Boss Wan's heart was like a knife, and a resentment surged into his heart, pressing on his chest, blocking his throat, grabbing the hands of the two of them, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Leng Banxian wiped his eyes, the old tears could not flow out, he just sighed and kept saying,
"God has eyes, good and evil are rewarded! The owner takes care - you are bothered!"
Boss Wan just nodded, tears in his eyes, speechless.
Lingwa saw the two old men caring about each other on the side, as tragic as life and death, and she pretended to be indifferent, and explained loudly,
"It's okay, boss, trust us, it's okay! Go, I'll be back soon!I'll be back—"
When Boss Wan heard this, he nodded again, tears could not flow out of his face, he couldn't wipe them on his face, turned around and took the wine bottle and glass of Xiao Er next to him, and said to the other Xiao Er angrily,
"Hurry up—go get some water, and wash the face of the baby!"
Xiao Er turned around and ran to the store, and quickly brought out a wooden basin of water. Boss Wan took a towel to personally help Lingwa wipe the blood and mud on her face, combed her hair, tied it up and coiled it on her head, and now Lingwa was much more energetic.
At this time, Wan Jinbao was already impatient in the back and shouted,
"Lao Wantou, are you finished? So many people are waiting for you, do you want to go with them?"
Boss Wan hurriedly replied quickly, quickly!
After speaking, two more glasses of wine were poured, and the three of them raised their glasses and drank them all to show their feat!
After drinking, Leng Banxian grabbed Boss Wan and said,
"Please take care of our West Street hut, and try to pick up some things! My grandfather and grandson are going to the county seat, and the bad luck is unpredictable, so I will entrust the owner with full authority to keep it—the old man will thank you in advance!" After speaking, he had to give up his hand again.
Boss Wan replied with tears in his eyes,
"Don't worry, brother, my little brother must be optimistic! I must save my life! My whole family is waiting for your father and wife to return safely!"
Finally, Boss Wan twisted up the two hanging bags on the ground and said to Leng Banxian,
"Little brother, I saw the crowd on the street late last night, and I learned about Lingwa's arrest! I prepared some dry food and some silver taels overnight for my brother and Lingwa to keep with them. I'll pay a visit to the county government another day, so why do I need to send it back then! And think of a way to see if I can get out of prison as soon as possible? I hope that the old brother and Lingwa will take care of their bodies and be calm in case of trouble!"
Leng Banxian was even more moved and didn't know what to say, took the bag, and kept saying thank you!
At this time, the officer in the back spoke, saying that the time had come, and he would leave!
So Boss Wan and the three of them stood on the side of the street, tearfully watching the two Lingwa and the two continue to walk forward.
Wan Jinbao rode on a tall horse, still looking down at everyone on both sides with a fierce look, staring at Boss Wan for a while,
I thought, you wait—wait for the next life to see if they can come back?
