Before Brother Biao became famous on the rivers and lakes, the tragic war with his wife started at about six o'clock in the evening and ended at half past nine. It lasted three and a half hours.

The audience was still unsatisfied, and wandered on the ridge until half past ten before returning home. When I got home, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, and I talked about it until dawn.

It wasn't until around eleven o'clock that a few female compatriots suddenly remembered that their idol female version of Li Kui was still lying in the muddy water in the middle of the rice field.

It is said that these cheerleaders are much more righteous and responsible than the fans of the Chinese football team, and they collectively and automatically returned to the battlefield without organization and dragged Miss Li Tieniu out of the muddy water.

Fortunately, the water in the field was not deep, and when Brother Biao pressed Miss Li Tieniu down, he inadvertently let her face up, so that her nostrils were exposed to the air, which allowed her to finally save her life.

Otherwise, what the cheerleaders dragged up might be a 180-pound corpse.

Li Tieniu was carried home and thrown on the bed with mud and water. She lay in bed without eating or drinking for three days before she completely returned to her yang, and she returned to the world from the ghost gate.

But after that, the whole body was suddenly lost, and for the rest of his life, let alone fighting, he never even spoke loudly again. The nickname of the female version of Li Kui has completely faded from her, as if a heavy shell has been removed.

Brother Biao returned home on time at 9:40 a.m. The first thing he did when he got home was to pick up the chicken that had been knocked to death by Li Tieniu with a stick and pluck the feathers on the spot.

Because the chicken has been dead for more than an hour, and it has not been scalded with boiling water, it is difficult to pluck the hair. But Brother Biao has just won the most important war in his life, and his spirit is very strong, no matter how difficult it is to pluck the hair, he can insist on plucking it unrelentingly.

He pulled out for more than an hour.

The female compatriots in the village, when Li Tieniu was brought back with mud and water, Brother Biao just plucked out the chicken feathers completely. When everyone entered the door, they saw nothing else, only chicken feathers in the courtyard.

After that, Brother Biao stewed chicken in the kitchen. An hour later, when the chicken was cooked well, he didn't shovel the meat out of the pot, just took a bottle of rice wine, sat on the stove, took a piece of chicken from the pot, and poured a big sip of wine.

Halfway through eating alone, I suddenly felt a feeling, and I started singing:

"A few sparse Xi Luo, well, free of yard bombs. ……”

At first, he hummed in a low voice, but after pouring a few more sips of wine, he sang louder and louder, and after singing, he basically sang highly. That voice is comparable to that of an Italian soprano singer.

In the early morning of that day, the whole village heard Brother Biao's singing. But no one understood what he was singing, and in everyone's ears, Brother Biao was simply a ghost crying wolf. Plus a gloomy atmosphere.

When the children heard this strange song, they were all so frightened that they hid under the covers and cried. Crying until dawn.

Adult men and women are talking about the pillow:

"This Ah Biao, it can't be a fight and a nerve, right?"

Of course Brother Biao is not crazy. What he sang was the only Hokkien song he learned in Quanzhou, the song was called "Love * Fight * * Cai * Will * Win", and the lyrics that he sang over and over again, translated into Mandarin, are:

"There is no need to complain about a moment of loss."

Later, this song became the most important inspirational song in Brother Biao's life. When he encounters any frustration or unhappiness, he opens his mouth and gets carried away as soon as he starts singing.

Of course, he never sang the whole song.

Moreover, his pronunciation is so messed up that even real Hokkien people can't understand it. Others were even more incomprehensible. But he doesn't care if people can understand it, as long as he can understand it.

When it was almost dawn, Brother Biao was full of food and drink, and his voice was tired of singing, so he fell asleep in the thatched pile by the stove. This sleep was also a full three days of sleep.

Three days later, Brother Biao and Li Tieniu got up at the same time and walked into the courtyard together, not talking to each other, as if each other did not exist. The two of them went to open the gate of the courtyard together, one on the side.

The door squeaked open, and the two of them were stunned at the same time.

Standing outside the door was the bull that had fled three days earlier.

The bull swept away a huge fly from his back with his tail and opened his mouth to "moo" at the two owners. The two of them took three steps back in fright at the same time.

The bull swaggered through the gate, into the pen, and lay down to rest.

By the way, the skinny pig who ran away that night never came back. I don't know if I went to the mountains to become a wild boar, or was slaughtered and eaten by people from neighboring villages.

In addition, it has to be mentioned that Zhen Ying, the daughter of Brother Biao and Li Tieniu, was hugged by her grandparents on the day of their war, and has never returned to this home since. Until he entered the city as an adult.

After this battle, Brother Biao not only regained the dominance of the family, but also the fire of his life began to burn fiercely from this day, and it burned more and more, and there is no sign of extinguishing it so far.

After the war, he enjoyed himself comfortably at home for three months, walking through the village alleys every morning, enjoying the nods of the villagers with great vanity.

In the beginning, the people of ten miles and eight towns, up to the old man and lady of eighty years old, down to the three-year-old child, whoever saw him coming, must have a smile on his face, and greeted him warmly and sincerely:

"Brother Biao, have you eaten?"

Our brother Biao, if he is not hungry, always snorts arrogantly in his nostrils, disdains to answer such nonsense, and walks over with his head held high like Ah Q, who has just succeeded in the revolution.

If he happened to have not eaten and his stomach was growling with hunger, he was also very arrogant and snorted coldly, and asked angrily:

"Do you think I've eaten?"

They politely made an invitation:

"If you didn't eat it, you ate it at our house?"

When Brother Biao heard this, he was in the middle of it, and walked to the dining table very unceremoniously, sat down, picked up the bowl, ate his fill, threw down the bowl, wiped his mouth, turned around and left. Say as you walk:

"Your hot and sour shredded potatoes are pretty good, how do you make them?"

People watched him finish his meal dumbfounded, not in the mood to teach him how to cook, and sent him off with a smile and tears:

"Brother Biao, you're good to go. Watch out for the stone steps you underfoot. ”

After eating for the first time and meeting again for the second time, after people asked "have you eaten", no matter whether he answered or not, he didn't dare to invite again.

But Brother Biao doesn't care whether you invite or not, as long as he is hungry and protests, he doesn't say a word, sits down at the table, sits down and serves the bowl, and has another uproar, throws down the bowl when he is full, wipes his mouth and turns around and leaves.

Accusing others while walking:

"Stewed dog meat quietly and silently, too small, right?"

People couldn't cry or laugh on their faces, they didn't speak in their mouths, and they gritted their teeth and scolded thousands of grass and mud horses in their hearts.

When I saw him again for the third time, he turned around and ran home, and told his wife one after another:

"Close the door, close the door, Ah Biao is here."

A month later, the whole village of 400 people, regardless of men, women and children, immediately hugged their heads and ran away when they saw Brother Biao's figure appear.

One day three months later, Brother Biao suddenly led the cow out of the cowpen, and his wife Li Tieniu saw it, thinking that he was finally going to return to daily life.

The first step for rural people to return to their daily lives is usually to herd cattle. For the first time in three months, Li Tieniu burst into tears, and the grievances and depression accumulated in that battle were swept away in an instant.

But Li Tieniu was wrong. And it's quite out of the blue.

Brother Biao did not lead the cattle to graze on the ridges, but drove the cattle directly into the old village chief's house. This old village chief is the unlucky guy who fell on the same pig twice and was hit on the head by a tile during the battle between Brother Biao and his wife three months ago.

I have always forgotten to say that the old village chief is also surnamed Zhen, and he is still Brother Biao's family. The old village chief has a single name of "strong", and in the early years, people gave him the nickname "Brother Qiang", but now that he is older, people are rushing to call him "Uncle Qiang" when he sees it in the alleys and alleys of the village.

In his early years, Brother Qiang served as the village chief for three terms, and finally became the "richest man" in the village. It's a pity that he has no children under his knees, only three daughters, the first two are married, and the last one is waiting at home to recruit a son-in-law.

It is said that Uncle Qiang was taken aback when he suddenly saw Brother Biao driving the cow into the door, and while stopping him in the yard, he signaled his wife to hurry up and go to the restaurant to clean up the food.

But Brother Biao didn't come to eat today, he sat directly on the stone steps of others, and got straight to the point:

"Uncle Qiang, I'll sell the cow to you."

Uncle Qiang was stunned for a long time before he replied:

"There is no shortage of cattle in my house."

Brother Biao took a dog's tail grass in his mouth and said casually:

"There is no shortage of cattle, and I have to sell them to you."

Uncle Qiang was stunned for a while, and finally spread his hands with a smile and asked:

"Why?"

Brother Biao spit out the dog's tail grass and replied solemnly:

"Because your family is the richest in the village, and I am the most lacking in money."

Uncle Qiang lived for more than 60 years and served three village chiefs, and this is the first time I have heard of this reason for trading. He was a little angry in his heart, and according to his young temper, I am afraid that he would immediately order the militia company commander to arrest Brother Biao and parade in the streets.

But in the end, Uncle Qiang is the dragon and phoenix among people, after a burst of anger, he immediately calmed down again, knowing that now he has only a false name in the village and no real power. seems to be highly respected, but in fact, no one can afford to provoke him.

Uncle Qiang's experience from the three village chiefs is: Since you can't afford to provoke it, it's better to obey. What's more, it's just a cow, and it's not that I can't afford it. Besides, having an extra cow in the family is not a bad thing.

So he cleared his throat and asked with a dry smile:

"How much are you going to sell this cow?"

Brother Biao had already prepared the answer, stretched out two fingers, and said with a full heart:

"Two thousand. No counter-offers. ”

Uncle Qiang was stunned for the third time, and he was stunned for longer than the previous two times, and finally bargained with a smile:

"You old cow is worth eight hundred at most. I can't afford two thousand. ”

Brother Biao raised his eyes to look at him, and smiled gloomily:

"It's not that you can't afford it, it's that you don't want to buy it."

Uncle Qiang didn't answer and waited for his next step. Brother Biao pulled a dog's tail grass in the corner of the wall, put it in his mouth and chewed it, chewed it for a long time, and then said leisurely:

"If you don't buy it, I won't force it. But as the saying goes, buying and selling does not lead to benevolence; As the saying goes, there is no turning back when you open a bow. ”

Uncle Qiang heard the clouds, and he didn't know what he wanted to say, so he opened his mouth wide and didn't know how to respond, so he shook his head and closed it again.

Brother Biao finished the famous aphorism before he said the central idea:

"From today onwards, one person and one cow will eat and live in your house."

Uncle Qiang seemed to have been knocked on a stick, and he was stunned for thirty seconds before he straightened out the meaning of Brother Biao's words. I couldn't help but be furious, and my thinning hair stood up like steel needles; The old face flushed.

But Uncle Qiang was angry, and once again calmed down, and his rich life experience told him that the only way to face this situation is to spend money to eliminate the disaster.

So Uncle Qiang didn't say a word, turned around and went into the back room, came out two minutes later, held a handful of banknotes in one hand, patted Brother Biao's shoulder with the other, and said word by word:

"Money, take it, cow, stay. Our uncles and nephews owe each other. You have to promise not to bother me again. ”

Brother Biao took the money and swore in a stack:

"Certainly, definitely, definitely, I must not bother you again."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Brother Biao carried his wife behind his back and sold the family's only asset, the old cow, at a high price. Afterwards, he didn't go home, but went straight to Maple Grove Town.

This is how he began another career in the rivers and lakes. Never went home.
