Liang Qu went home to find clean clothes to change into, and trotted all the way in the direction of Pingyang Town.

The foliage piled up on both sides of the road became thicker and thicker, reddish-yellow on the top and black-brown on the bottom.

The wind blows on his body like an ice blade, but Liang Qu only feels that his energy is endless, neither lukewarm nor hot, and the thing burning in his chest is called enthusiasm.

Liang Qu raised his head, and the huge sunset little by little, reflecting his pupils into a brilliant red gold.

Little by little, the setting sun takes away the sunlight from the earth, the pale red woods turn black and red, and soon night will fall, this is the last glimpse of the sunset.

He suddenly felt that the world was not bad, there was no pollution, there was no cage, and the air was fresher.

A short period of downfall is not a bad thing, as long as the direction is correct, frying and boiling are both ways to become delicious, and refueling is also, there will always be a day to emerge.

"Roar!"

Liang Qu shouted.

The mule pulling the cart on the side of the road was frightened and dragged the cart to run into the woods, but the driver swung several whips before returning to the right path, and cursed: "Fool." ”

Did the term come around so early?

Liang Qu was stunned, but he didn't get angry, he just smiled back, and the coachman scolded and left when he saw this, feeling that he had really met a fool.

When he came to Pingyang Town, Liang Qu estimated that Li Libo and Chen Jiechang should be hungry, so he bought a few steamed buns and came to the Yang Martial Arts Hall from the familiar shortcut.

The entrance of the martial arts hall is brightly lit, and there is a large oil lamp a few meters after entering, and a lantern ten meters away.

Liang Qu carried an oil-paper bag and drove through the corridor.

There were a lot more people on the martial arts field, about 50 people.

Many people will go home to practice by themselves after learning boxing, and meet again at the end of the month, and not all of the 30 people they saw on the day of registration.

It's just that there don't seem to be any serious martial artists in the crowd, they are all apprentices.

Liang Qu thought that the martial artists might have something, or go to see Master Yang in advance, but he didn't think much about it, but secretly, many people glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's strange how they're looking at me."

Liang Qu couldn't understand it, he was down, he usually had no one to care about, and he was willing to make friends with him, but he wouldn't stare at him.

Are you late?

He remembered that when he was in high school, he got up late and was caught by the head teacher who came to catch the early reading.

Liang Qu had to pretend not to see it, and came to the corner of the flower bed alone to find Li Libo and Chen Jiechang.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the two raised their heads, and when they saw Liang Qu, they all lowered their heads in unison, but the bruises on their eye sockets and swollen cheeks couldn't be hidden.

Knowing that the two like to find a diaphragm for each other, Liang Qu thought he had played too far: "What's the situation, you two are fighting?" So ruthless? ”

The two looked at each other, but they were silent.

Liang Qu realized that something was wrong, squatted down and asked in a low voice, "What is the situation?" ”

There was a moment of silence.

Chen Jiechang broke the silence.

The swollen cheeks made his voice slurred: "After you left, Lu Tingcai took a group of people to ask the two of us for money, saying that we had a smell on our bodies, which affected their martial arts practice, and asked one person to compensate for two taels of silver, we couldn't get angry and fought with them." ”

Two two?!

Liang Qu was taken aback.

Is this asking for money?

It's for his life!

"What about the one surnamed Lu?" Liang Qu didn't have the slightest respect for Lu Shaohui, and even more anger rose in his chest, "And Senior Brother Xiang, didn't you look for it?" Senior Brother Xiang should always help, right? ”

"The one surnamed Lu didn't take a look at us." Li Libo gritted his teeth, "He turned around and left!" Senior Brother Xiang doesn't know where it is, from noon to now, there are only our apprentices left in the martial arts hall. ”

Liang Qu couldn't believe it, how could it be so coincidental today?

"Originally, I hammered one first, plus Brother Chen, two against three, and the loss was not big, but then three more people came to help them, and we lost."

Chen Jiechang snorted coldly when he heard this, he was very unconvinced, he could have seriously injured Xue Dingyi, but who expected that the other party actually had helpers, and in the end only pinched a few blood marks on Xue Dingyi's neck.

"Now they want us to make up ten taels of silver, otherwise they will come to us every day in the future to 'learn', sneer~"

Chen Jiechang laughed at himself, he didn't regret it, he just regretted it, regretted that the three people behind him came too quickly, so he didn't have a chance to strangle Xue Dingyi.

It's useless to say anything now, he sighed: "The two of us have discussed, the fight is because we fought, so we will make up for the extra four taels." ”

Li Libo nodded, they were all a little guilty, feeling that they had to go up to fight, causing one person to become more than three or two, and the situation of Liang Qu's family was not good, so they naturally had to fill the extra gap.

There was silence in the corner of the flower bed.

Without human voices, the crickets in the flower beds felt safe again, and chirped intermittently, and their voices were not clear, but they looked very old.

It's early winter, and it's not even half a moon before it's midwinter, and the cricket can't scream anymore—it's dying, maybe freezing to death on a night when the temperature plummets.

On the martial arts arena, everyone who communicates and exercises often looks down at the corner of the flowerbed that they have never paid attention to.

There is banter, there is indifference, and some people find it funny.

Zhao Sangongzi, who was dressed in brocade clothes, looked at the flower bed, and then looked at another corner, which was Lu Tingcai, Xue Dingyi and others who provoked trouble.

The men were equally silent.

If things go like this, will they be able to get a favor?

Impossible.

Zhao Xueyuan knew that they would be punished, more severely.

In the past, this group of people could receive protection money, but the people who were bullied did not dare to speak up, and when there was a martial artist, they basically did it outside the martial arts hall.

The people at the bottom are used to having low self-esteem, and they are born afraid of people in high and low positions, and they are deceived by Lu Tingcai's words, and they don't think that the high-ranking martial artists will help them.

Most people suffer a loss, and they don't think about reporting to the official?

Relying on the deception routine, Lu Tingcai and the others were invincible, but they didn't expect to encounter two hard stubbles now, and they took the initiative to be ruthless to an old student, and it was a brick when they came up.

I just don't know whether the last apprentice of this fellow villager has hard or soft bones.

Zhao Xueyuan was curious.

At this time, Lu Tingcai and the others knew that they had made a big mistake, but the young man's blood was surging, how could he care so much.

The matter is basically impossible to hide, and now they are breaking the jar and asking for a more ruthless price, like a desperate red-eyed gambler, more dangerous than ever.

The difference is that Li Libo and Chen Jiechang are still buried in the dark.

I didn't remind you, everyone was watching a good show.

The loess rammed martial arts arena was illuminated orange by oil lamps.

Liang Qu got up, and the light stretched his shadow very long, casting it on the wall, flickering slightly.

Li Libo and Chen Jiechang couldn't help but look up and saw Liang Qu reaching out and handing out an oiled paper bag.

"Take it."

"It's ......"

"Take it!"

The crickets in the flower bed were silent.

Li Libo and Chen Jiechang reached out to take it, felt the warmth in the oiled paper bag, and guessed that it was food.

Liang Qu turned around and walked towards the center of the martial arts arena.

All eyes were on him.

Liang Qu looked around left and right.

He had never been here before, let alone enjoyed such a high-profile treatment.

tired

It's exhausting.

I used to work overtime until midnight, and I was as tired as a dog, and I wasn't as tired as I am now.

Starting from the leper Zhang, to the three Wang brothers, and the spirits in the water.

The whole society is like an impenetrable net, netting all those who want to climb up.

Every one who tried to pass through it was squeezed into the narrow eyelets, and the flesh was blurred.

Those spiders, poisonous insects, centipedes hung on one large web node after another, expecting the bloody prey to struggle exhausted and compete for bloody food.

Liang Qu looked at the corner on the other side.

Everyone is there, Lu Tingcai, Xue Dingyi, Yu Weilong, Xiang Quji......

These...... Drug addict!

Liang Qu's gaze suddenly changed and became very quiet, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the seven people.

"I'm going to fight you guys!"

The arena was suddenly as silent as death.

"Huh...... haha"

Someone laughed.

Liang Qu was expressionless, staring at the man.

"Ahem."

The atmosphere was dead again.

Lu Tingcai and the others had to stand up under the pressure of their gaze.

They actually regretted it, especially Xue Dingyi, who regretted his impulsiveness, but at that time, the brothers were all opened, how could they think so much.

But in the face of such an arrogant provocation, it would be too much to sit back again.

"You're alone?" Lu Tingcai, whose head was wrapped in white gauze, looked funny, but against the backdrop of the six people behind him, no one would find it funny, "I can't weigh my own ......"

It's cheap.

Liang Qu felt that his chest was very tight, as if he was choked with depression.

He patted his chest hard, and the pain in his chest made it hurt, and let the pain suppress all the depression and fire.

"I'm enough for one person! I'm alone, defeat all of you, all of you! ”
