"The fourth one, you go out twice, no, out three!"

The old patriarch was very painful to the demolitionists, especially the people who demolished his platform, and was determined to use his authority to completely make this blind boy understand that offending his old man would have to pay a price, and it was very heavy.

The man slapped himself in annoyance, and then said unconvinced: "Third uncle, you always do things unfairly, why do you let me pay more?" ”

"You have given birth to three daughters in a row, and in the future, the family's money will not know which foreigner will be cheaper, rather than this, it is better to give it to the clan, and the clan will also remember your good in the future."

The seven-foot-tall man is definitely not convinced. I'm about to stand up and reason with the old patriarch, and you can't catch any of the bullies, right? It's enough to be wronged that he can't give birth to a son, and he is ruined, which is almost killing him. The man has not yet realized his mistake, and it is not for other reasons at all, but that the old patriarch cannot come down. But when he heard the old patriarch talk about his daughter, his eyes darkened angrily, and he didn't say anything, and he sat in the open space under the stage in a daze, gritting his teeth as if he was going to swear a poisonous curse: no son, no human rights. If you don't give birth to a son in this life, it's not over.

The old patriarch's loose eyelids crossed everyone's faces, and his majesty paused: "If you still have any objections, stand up and speak, if you don't say it at this time, this matter will be settled." ”

Seeing that no one objected, the old patriarch nodded with satisfaction, and then habitually licked the gums, people who lost their teeth in old age are indispensable to this habit, and the children who don't know why saw it, and thought that the old man was muttering in his mouth, as if he was eating.

"There is another thing, the way to join the army mentioned last year is already there, and there will be a soldier in our village."

As soon as these words were spoken, the men in the village became enthusiastic. The military man is looked down upon, and he has to divide the people, and the official eunuch family naturally looks down on the military man, but the military man is still a very attractive profession for ordinary people, especially in relatively remote villages. In particular, military salary is a livelihood that is lost in vain, and you can also get a sideline income through business. In the Great Song Dynasty, business is the gene that is deeply rooted in the bones of all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and it will not be forgotten wherever you go. As soon as it comes and goes, this income is enough for the family to live a good life.

Drought and flood to ensure harvest, and pay every month is enough to make people who rely on the sky for food envious.

However, there was a kid who didn't open his eyes, and he actually asked an embarrassing question: "Third uncle, is it a forbidden army?" ”

Forbidden Army?

Suddenly, the attraction of this military man's profession doubled.

The army and the army are different, especially in the Two Song Dynasty, the forbidden army is an iron rice bowl, and the box army is called Huazi.

The Xiang army is called Huazi, and the monthly military salary is always around, but the forbidden army is different. For a rural man who doesn't have much vision for Baizhang Village, when he becomes a forbidden army, he is not much different from Guangzong Yaozu.

The old patriarch angrily touched the surroundings, found that the dove in his hand fell under the stage, and shouted viciously: "Where is my dove? What about my dove? ”

"Here, grandpa, your old dove."

The old patriarch clutched the dove in his hand, and his eyes looked threatening to dismantle his kid for a while, and he angrily shook the dove in his hand, eager to ride the crane to the west, which frightened his great-grandson for a while.

Li Kui, can you grow dim sum?

The kid who just opened his mouth was Li Kui, and he was also the best candidate for the rise of the Li family in Baizhang Village in the old patriarch's mind. Not to mention that this kid has rough skin and thick flesh, and he can't hurt this kid even if he is an old and frail old man. is especially worried about losing Li Kui's face in front of everyone, the young man's temperament is uncertain, and he will inevitably be resentful, which will be bad.

The old patriarch glared and threatened Li Kui: "You kid have a snack, right?" ”

The fourth uncle, who was about to watch the play, rolled his eyes angrily and luckily, and muttered vigorously in his heart: "If you don't have a son, do you even have to see people who are a generation shorter?" ”

For Mao's own straightforwardness, he was truncated by the old man and fined money. But Li Kui, the black boy, the old man just passed with an understatement. Isn't that partial?

He felt that if he continued to live in Baizhang Village, his life was a little depressing. Don't worry, there are a few villagers in Baizhang Village who have this kind of mind every year, but if they go to the city, they will come back in disgrace in a few months. How can you survive in the city if you don't know anything?

The old patriarch erased the embarrassment without a trace, and then promulgated the rules of selection: "The masters of the whole village have a chance, although the military Han is a box army, not the forbidden army of the Huaiyang army, but fortunately, it is stationed in Yizhou, and it is not considered to be away from home." As for the singles, it's simple. Compared with strength, the young people in the whole village have a chance. Martial arts competitions are also available, everyone is treated equally, and men under the age of 30 can participate. ”

The old patriarch seemed to be a bowl of water, but he was complained by many people.

"Third grandfather, Li Kui won't be counted as one, right?"

"Li Quan, he's a fool, you can't let him be counted as one, right?"

"These two murderers participated, and I still have a way to live?"

"It's unfair, I can't wait!"

……

The old patriarch is also old, and he can't get up, otherwise he would have jumped off the stage to beat these unscrupulous descendants one by one. Although there is no foreign combat mission in the Xiang army, the suppression of bandits also often occurs, just a few of you cowards.

Can you compare with Li Kui, the first murderer in my Baizhang Village?

Can you compare with my first stupid Li Quan, the first in Baizhang Village?

If you don't give them a place, who else can you give it to?

The old man first scolded: "You guys who are not promising, they are older than Li Kui, but they are shouting that it is not suitable for Li Kui to join, why don't you risk your life to have a competition, the old man can still respect you as a man." Just like you, you still want to eat the emperor's food and live a good life? Phew, go dream! ”

Feeling that the heat was almost over, the old man explained: "Li Quan is stupid, but his strength is also one of the best in the village, especially when he is not stupid, he is outstanding in martial arts." In the army, this kind of fool is the most popular with the general, and it is easiest to recruit him to be a henchman by his side, if Li Quan becomes the chief general's henchman in the army, won't you all have a chance to join the army in the future? Besides, if he joins the army, he will be in charge of food in the army, and his military salary will be received by our village, which is also an income. ”

Speaking of which, if Li Quan becomes a soldier, he will be completely reduced to a side job in Baizhang Village. Although the money is not much, the income of more than ten yuan a year is diluted on everyone's head, and there is not much. But in the long-term business, everyone has a rod in their hearts that this business is worth doing. Especially when everyone heard the old patriarch say that Li Quan's military salary was returned to the village, they suddenly lost their voices.

No one would want to make such a loss-making deal, would they?

"Besides, Li Kui, the people who do the hunt and face are all great traitors and evil people, and there is no real kung fu under his hands, can he really succeed? There are many people practicing martial arts in the village, but there is not a single young man who can make three moves under Li Kui. You think the old man doesn't want you. It's wrong, even if the old man thinks about you and favors you, you guys who have no interest won't be able to do anything. If you can't catch the thief, you still fold yourself in, which is what hurts people! ”

"Li Kui, even if you come to the stage, even if you go through the motions, let the old and young masters of the whole village shut up, and if you have the heart to catch fast, you will make a move in Li Kui's hands, if you don't ask him to win, if you don't lose within thirty moves, it's you."

Li Kui was stunned, he didn't know that he was the protagonist of this clan meeting when he came, and after being named by the old patriarch, he was also a little puzzled, he seemed to be only thirteen years old!

After reluctantly coming to power, Li Kui said depressedly: "Third uncle, the kid is only thirteen years old, a little younger, do you want to give this great opportunity to your elders and brothers......

"Bastard, if they have this ability, will they need the old man to find you? Besides, your kid is so dark that you can't tell how old you are......"

The old man's mouth is too vicious, what does it mean to look black and can't tell his age? This 10,000-point critical attack made Li Kui almost run away in anger.

Li Kui, who raised his neck, everyone in the audience immediately saw that this kid was going to make a mistake. One by one, they were secretly excited, and they had a good show to watch.

I saw Li Kui say angrily: "Third uncle, the kid doesn't do anything to catch fast." ”

"What do you want to do if you don't do it?" The old patriarch raised the dove battle angrily, and a stick fell, click, and the dove fell on Li Kui's head and broke into two, and the latter touched his forehead, and miraculously found that it did not hurt.

Although the old man is a little self-righteous, in general it is for his good. But catching fast is not a good livelihood for people with status, but for remote mountain people, it is a good profession that they dare not think of. But Li Kui despised this profession very much. Catching fast is the bottom of the society, belonging to the unpopular officials, and even some places use criminals as fast catches, so that this kind of group that originally wanted to arrest local thieves is even more miasma, and is not recognized by the society. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the children of the catchers were not even good people, and they were directly deprived of the power of the imperial examination.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was not much higher.

A scoundrel on the street, and even a criminal with a criminal record, can be served.

If he has the identity of a public official, how can he still mix in high society?

Therefore, Li Kui resolutely refused, even if he was beaten, he did not hesitate to do so. I saw him say loudly: "Third uncle, brothers, uncles." My Song Dynasty is high at reading, and Xu is an unpopular identity, how can you defile me? The boy dares to ask you if you have a dream in life. ”

Dream?

It was a very high-end appearance, and even the old patriarch was stunned.

I saw Li Kui open his mouth and said: "I am thirteen years old, and I have reached a good time to study. It's only thirteen, and it's not too late. From today on, the kid is determined to learn, not to be able to learn, he is successful in learning, not to be able to 'fight in front of the horse and the street, to the Qionglin banquet'? ”

The ignorant villagers of Baizhang Village were all frightened by Li Kui's lofty ambitions, and even the well-informed old patriarch opened his mouth and made a demented appearance, as if he didn't know his ancestor.

After a long time, the old patriarch's big black mouth came from the sound of hehehehe, and Shaoqing turned into laughter. The whole village laughed unkindly, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Li Kui's face became darker and darker, and he deeply realized a famous saying - the bird's ambition is to know the bird!

How sad Chen She, who said this sentence back then, was in his heart.
