"Tell you kid, you are mixed in this area, you dare to challenge my authority, you are tired of it!"

The bald head gritted his teeth, he pounced, and the dagger in his hand slashed towards Lin Xiao with a strong wind.

Lin Xiao's body flashed, and the brick in his hand swept straight to the bald chin from the bottom up.

The bald head shrank in fright, and he hurriedly took a step back.

"Stop! Where are you mixed up? It is impossible for people in the countryside to have such good skills and courage. ”

The bald head asked coldly and took two steps back.

Lin Xiao's mouth grinned, and he said with a flat face: "If you want to fight, hurry up, anyway, the money is no longer on me." ”

"There's a kind of one pick six and still so calm.

Well, it's money. ”

The bald head borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and he turned around and walked away as he spoke.

Just when Lin Xiao was feeling strange, an old man suddenly walked from behind him.

This old man looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, he looked thin and dressed quite exquisitely.

"What should young people do? Fighting and brawling for a living? ”

The old man walked up to Lin Xiao's side, and he said in a cold voice.

"No, they robbed me of my money."

Lin Xiao hurriedly explained.

"Robbing you of your money? Then you shouldn't drill here, you should go to a crowded place, and besides, life is always more important than money! ”

The old man frowned, and he glanced at Lin Xiao as he spoke.

Lin Xiao was a little unhappy in his heart, he replied coldly: "I'm not used to them, I can do anything wrong with a lot of people, and I have to let them know something." ”

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he walked quickly towards the outside of the alley, the old man's mouth was open, but the words reached his throat and swallowed back.

As soon as Lin Xiao walked out of the alley, Chen Erniu ran over quickly.

"Are you alright? It scared the hell out of me. ”

Chen Erniu said, and pulled Lin Xiao over to look at it all over.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Don't look at it, it's not a fight, it should be ......"

Lin Xiao stopped when he said this, and he suddenly felt that the bald head didn't make a move just now because he was not afraid of him, but because he saw the old man walking behind him.

Could it be that this old man has any special identity?

Chen Erniu was a little scared, he stopped halfway through Lin Xiao's words, he didn't chase Lin Xiao anymore, but pulled Lin Xiao to the train station.

There is a train from Qindong County to Nanyang Township, but after getting off the train, they have to walk more than 20 miles of mountain roads to reach Banpo Village.

This is a slow train, and it is said that it is only a dozen kilometers to Nanyang Township, so it will take a while to get off the bus.

In order to save money, Lin Xiao took Chen Erniu to walk three or four miles from the east station entrance, bypassing the ticket gate and entering the platform.

After tossing down, it was dark when the train arrived at Nanyang Station.

However, at this time, the two were very happy, they talked all the way, and returned to Banpo Village by night.

When they returned to Lin Xiao's house, Huzi was already waiting for them, everyone was very anxious, and when they saw Lin Xiao and Chen Erniu come back safely, everyone was talking and laughing.

Liu Xiuzhi was very happy, although this matter was done without danger, but Lin Xiao used this pig to exchange a lot of money for their family.

She immediately brought the prepared meal, and Huzi accompanied Lin Xiao and Chen Erniu to eat.

Just when Lin Xiao was eating happily, suddenly a figure flashed, and I saw Zhao Yulian from the village walking in.

She was an honest man, in her forties, but her hair had turned gray due to long-term hard work.

Zhao Yulian's sons Zhao Qiang and Lin Xiao were young, and they lost their father when Zhao Qiang was ten years old, so Zhao Qiang matured earlier than his peers.

He was married two years ago, but more than a year after the marriage, he was imprisoned for stealing.

"Auntie! Do you have something? ”

When Lin Xiao saw that Zhao Yulian was coming, he hurriedly jumped off the kang and asked.

Zhao Yulian's face was sad, she glanced at everyone, and then shook her head in a panic.

Lin Xiao frowned, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you want to borrow money?" How much to borrow? You just open your mouth. ”

Zhao Yulian still shook her head, she whispered: "You come outside with me, and I'll tell you something." ”

Lin Xiao hurriedly answered, put on his shoes and followed Zhao Yulian to the gate.

When she came to the foot of a big locust tree, when Zhao Yulian was sure that it was safe here, she cried quietly: "Lin Xiao! You and my Zhao Qiang are good friends, you grew up with me, so you have to help Zhao Qiang. ”

"What's wrong, Auntie?"

Lin Xiao hurriedly asked.

Zhao Yulian approached Lin Xiao, and then whispered in his ear: "Zhao Qiang's daughter-in-law and Liu Xiong hooked up together, they used to carry me on their backs, but now at night, Liu Xiong went directly to my house and treated me as a dead person." ”

"What? What a brute, but I ...... about it."

Lin Xiao was so angry that he scolded, but how could he care about this kind of thing?

Zhao Yulian sighed and said: "It's okay if you are embarrassed, my aunt thinks that as far as our village is concerned, Liu Xiong is only afraid of you, and it is useless to find him and others, not to mention that I can't afford to lose this person." ”

Lin Xiao heard Zhao Yulian say this, and he felt that Zhao Yulian told him such a thing, which was to treat him as his own person.

Zhao Qiang is his hair and good friend, and he is forced to steal by life, and his wife does this, which not only hurts the customs and humiliates the face of their Zhao family, but may also lead to the breakdown of their marriage.

He can't sit idly by and watch the matter of a good brother, not to mention that Zhao Qiang is still in prison now.

"Auntie! You must not tell anyone about this, you can go back, I know what to do. ”

Lin Xiao's heart was crossed, he already had an idea.

When Zhao Yulian heard this, she turned around and disappeared into the night.

When Lin Xiao returned home, Chen Erniu and Huzi had already gone home.

"What is Zhao Yulian looking for you? It won't be Zhao Qiang's business! ”

Mom asked softly with concern.

Lin Xiao: "Oh! He said, "Let me write a letter to Zhao Qiang and persuade him to reform well." ”

"Zhao Qiang went in, it wasn't his wife who harmed him, he was lazy every day, and he dressed like a vixen."

Lin Qian said coldly on the side.

The mother gave her a blank look and said, "What do children know, go to sleep!" ”

Lin Xiao suddenly said to his sister: "You have only been in the fifth grade, and I am going home now, why don't you continue to go to school!" ”

"I don't, there are so many things at home, and besides, I'm sixteen years old, and I still go to school, so it's not a shame."

After Lin Qian finished speaking, she went back to the room.

Lin Xiao said hello to his father, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes half-closed, and he also went back to his Westhouse.

***

As the night deepened, Banpo Village was unusually quiet, and there was no dog barking in the dark village.

On the wall of Zhao Qiang's house in the east of the village, a dark shadow suddenly appeared.

The black shadow landed in the courtyard as light as a swallow, and then listened quietly.

Suddenly, there was a strange cry from inside the West House, as if a woman was crying and laughing.

The black shadow slammed to his feet and swooped down like an arrow towards the west house.
