Chapter 4: Compassion

The market has long been dispersed, and there are many fewer pedestrians on the road, Yang Ji is carrying his bags on the corner of the street and alley, and he immediately hears a sharp and ear-piercing scolding:

"Bastard, are you crazy for money? How dare you sell a broken stone for a tael of silver? Cheat money and cheat me into the head of Lao Tzu, and don't look at who I am! -- Brothers, beat me to death!"

There was a wail, mixed with a staccato, silly, but unusually stubborn voice:

"I didn't ...... I'm not lying...... , Ah Niu never lies. Is it a shooting star,...... It's really stars falling from the sky,...... Ah Niu didn't lie to people......"

Yang Ji's heart moved, he took two or three steps around the corner, and immediately saw five or six people gathered in front of him, punching and kicking a person vigorously.

There were many onlookers, but no one reached out.

"Yang Erniu?!"

Seeing the person in the middle, Yang Ji was taken aback. This person he knew, was a congenital mentally retarded man in a neighboring village, with the IQ of a child only a few years old.

His family is poor, he has only one old mother, and he is very pitiful and lonely.

Yang Ji has seen him a few times, and every time he sees him squatting here to sell some small things, he has never been safe, and he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, this time he didn't know that Weishenme was beaten by this group of people.

"Stop!"

Yang Ji didn't think about it, he shouted angrily, rushed over with a meteor, pushed away the crowd, and blocked Yang Erniu.

"What do you guys want to do? let him go!"

Yang Jili shouted.

This group of bastard Wang Badan, even such a poor mentally retarded person has to bully! Thinking of what happened to him in the clan, Yang Ji was furious.

Halfway to kill a trip to bite gold, something happened suddenly, and a group of people were startled. But soon, a few young people around him who were full of ruffians and loose and sagging their bodies reacted.

"Damn! Someone actually came to erect a beam! Lao Tzu has been in Pingchuan County for so long, this is the first time! Boy, let's say, how do you want to die. ”

A gangster with a face full of yin qi looked hideous, rubbed his sour fist, and approached Yang Ji with a threatening face. Several gangsters around him were also full of unkindness, and they rushed up one after another, surrounding Yang Ji and Yang Erniu.

"Head, I know this kid, his name is Yang Ji, he is from the Yang Mansion, and he has no status. Damn, dare to stop us, Yang Ji, are you impatient?"

A thug shouted with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Oops!"

Yang Ji's face changed slightly, when he rushed over, he didn't think about it, but with the courage of blood, he didn't expect that he was facing a group of rampant and vicious ruffians.

"I didn't expect it to be them,...... This is bad, maybe not only can't help Yang Erniu, but it is self-defeating, and even he has to get in. ”

Yang Ji's heart couldn't help but sink.

This shijie martial arts is dominant, even if it is a ruffian, sometimes he will learn some breathing techniques to exercise the body, with the realm of Yang Ji's breathing three stages, one pick one is okay, but one pick five, one pick six...... I'm afraid that the end will not be much better than the current Yang Erniu.

"This kid is going to be out of luck!"

"Too impulsive. He thought we didn't want to take care of it, we couldn't take care of it. ”

"This group of people can do anything. ”

"Shut up and be careful. ”

……

Many of the surrounding crowd watched the excitement with sympathetic eyes, and some even did not hide the schadenfreude on their faces. There are some things that not everyone can manage, and if you want to be strong, you have to be prepared to pay the price.

Yang Ji paid no attention to these people, seeing that this group of ruffians and hooligans were about to surround him, he was secretly anxious in his heart, but he also knew that the more times like this, the more he couldn't mess up.

"Calm down...... There are so many of them that I will definitely not be able to defeat them alone, and we must find a way to stabilize them, use words to disintegrate them, and deter them!"

In the midst of lightning, many thoughts turned in Yang Ji's mind, and his heart became more and more calm.

"Bang!"

said that it was too late, Yang Ji's body moved, suddenly slammed, took a heavy step forward, met the eyes of the ruffian, and stared back viciously:

"You Wang Badan, who dares to do it! I have thought it through first, and you think you can move me?"

"Haha, scare Lao Tzu?"

The leader of the ruffians was stunned, and then laughed angrily, with a sinister taste in his eyebrows:

"Little Wang Ba Lamb, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know, in the Yang family, you are just like a subordinate, grandma doesn't hurt, uncle doesn't love, and you want to scare Lao Tzu?"

As a ruffian hooligan in Pingchuan County, the reason why they have been able to run rampant for so long is definitely not because no one can take care of them. It's because they are clever enough, and they all know clearly before they do it, and they know who can be messed with and who can't be messed with in this Pingchuan County.

So although Yang Ji and them were facing each other for the first time, someone below had already inquired about Yang Ji's details and told him.

Yang Ji first ruined his business, and then threatened him with good intentions, which made him feel a trace of ferocity in his heart.

"Brothers, do it, pick him up for me!"

The head of the ruffian had a fierce light in his eyes, and he turned his palm and took out a knife, and several young people around him also had cold faces, and then took out the knife on his body, a handle of cold light flickered, and there was a faint trace of blood in the position of the blade, - these knives have seen blood.

"Phew!"

There was a sound of gasping around him, and the pedestrians who were still watching the excitement were full of fear one by one, and they dispersed one after another like avoiding the plague, where did they dare to join in the excitement.

These people are lawless, and they obviously have murderous intent!

Yang Ji felt a chill in his heart, although he had heard of the murderous names of these ruffians and hooligans for a long time, but when he really met face to face, he understood the fierceness of these people.

As long as there is no hard enough shili background, these people really dare to kill people in broad daylight!

However, Yang Ji also knows that at this time, he can't panic, let alone retreat, he must be stable.

These people are famous for their tiger and wolf nature, bullying the soft and fearing the hard, once they retreat, let them know that they are afraid, and then there will be no bones left to be eaten by this group of people.

It's too late, it's too soon!

At the moment when these people took out their knives, Yang Ji suddenly stepped forward first, and without saying anything for the second time, he slapped a slap and slapped the head of the ruffian in the face.

With all his strength, he hit the hand extremely hard, directly slapping the ruffian with a golden star in his eyes, staggering back, and the right side of his face turned blue at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then quickly formed a clear palm print.

Scare!

This slap came suddenly, not only was the ruffian stunned, but even the thugs who followed were startled and shocked.

When Yang Ji was angry before, they still thought that this kid was bluffing, but they didn't expect him to really dare to do it. If something is abnormal, there must be demons, and five or six people were taken away by Yang Ji's momentum for a while, and they didn't dare to step forward.

"You're looking for death!"

The ruffian thundered.

It is a great shame to lose such a big face in front of his subordinates, and as soon as the knife in his hand is raised, he will attack Yang Ji.

"If you want to die, you can try it. ”

Yang Ji said coldly, life and death are tied to a hair, but he became more and more calm.

The knife that was about to be cut over stopped in mid-air, and the ruffian leader led by him looked at Yang Ji and was shocked in his heart.

He had the intention to kill Yang Ji Liwei, but he was robbed by Yang Ji's momentum and prestige, and he didn't dare to take the risk.

"Does this kid really have anything to rely on?"

Zhou Lingbang was shocked in his heart, although he didn't believe Yang Ji's words, but the slap was real. Whoever dares to do this is either a madman, or he really has something he doesn't know to rely on.

"Smack!"

The other party didn't dare to make a move, but Yang Ji didn't have any scruples, and slapped it again, ruthlessly and loudly.

He knows very well that he must take advantage of the situation in striking iron, and he must not be soft at this time. In front of this group of bullying people who are afraid of the hard, the more tough and strong you are, the more you can suppress them.

"Hmph! This is a lesson for you. You remember to me that the ups and downs of the big clans, the cats and cats are greasy, and you outsiders can't know about them. And even if I am a subordinate, I am also a 'subordinate' in the big clan, and killing you is like stepping on an ant. - Believe it or not, as long as you dare to touch a single hair of me, this time next year will be the death day for all of you."

The words were so loud that Yang Ji was completely sure of them.

What he said was false, that is, he was sure that these people didn't know the cattiness and intrigue in the big clan.

Sure enough, a few gangsters began to show fierce eyes, wanting to teach Yang Ji a lesson, but when he said this, they immediately hesitated and retreated one by one.

The relationship in the big clan is complicated, all kinds of intrigues, ups and downs, not at all like them ruffians and hooligans, simple, one to see the bottom, whoever has the big fist is the boss.

If the news of the investigation is wrong, and Yang Ji is actually covered by some noble person in the Yang clan, then they are not killing themselves.

And what Yang Ji said is right, even if he is not welcomed, but the human face, the bark of the tree, no matter how he is a member of the Yang clan.

If it is really because of such a trivial matter, the people of the Yang clan want to bury him with a group of people, wouldn't it be a wrongful death?

"Damn it!"

The leader of the ruffians observed the words and looks, and he didn't know that his brothers were all cowardly, and he was so angry that he was about to crush his steel teeth.

Where has he suffered such a big loss, the other party is obviously a half-sized child, but he can't vent his anger.

It's really infuriating!

"A bunch of scum!

Yang Ji saw the effect, snorted, and gave them a step down by the way.

"Hmph, little king and eight lambs, don't be too proud. Sooner or later, you'll pay the price. ”

A few people borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and dropped this cruel sentence, no matter how unwilling they were, they had to leave.

……

"Shhh ”

Yang Ji sighed, only to feel that his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

Only he knows how dangerous the situation just now is. If he hadn't been calm enough and bold enough, he would have fallen to the ground by now.

"This kind of thing can never be done again, strength is king, and it will definitely not be like this next time. ”

Yang Ji secretly admonished himself in his heart.

Turning around, Yang Ji walked towards Yang Erniu.

"Well, don't be afraid, they're gone and won't hurt you anymore. ”

Yang Ji leaned down and patted Yang Erniu on the shoulder.

If you don't know the truth, it's hard to believe that such a young man who is as strong as a bear is actually very fragile in his heart.

He knelt on the ground with his head in his hands, like an ostrich, Yang Ji heard him muttering in his ears, and at first thought he was afraid, but after squatting down, he realized that this was not the case at all.

"No, no lying...... I'm not lying, it's really a meteor I picked. This is really what I picked up in the mountains. I'm not lying...... Ah Niu never lies!"

The voice coming from under those arms was stubborn and paranoid, like a stubborn child.

"Well, I know, you're not lying. ”

Yang Ji comforted.

Perhaps it was because Yang Ji's voice was relatively gentle, and Yang Erniu's body finally stopped trembling and slowly calmed down.

"I ...... I remember you, you are a good person, thank you...... xiexie you. ”

Yang Erniu slowly raised his head, it was a face in his twenties, but it had a pair of simple eyes of a three-year-old child.

Yang Ji just smiled indifferently.

"It's getting late, I'm leaving, and besides, you should go home early. Your mother may still be waiting for you. ”

Yang Ji turned around and prepared to leave. But before he could take a few steps, he was pounced by Yang Erniu from behind and hugged his right leg.

"Help me, help me,...... Buy some of my things! a tael of silver...... One tael of silver! Ah Niu wants one or two of silver! Mother wants one or two of silver! Ah Niu wants to save his mother ......"

Yang Erniu suddenly said excitedly, with a trace of anxiety and despair in his simple eyes.

"Mother, what's wrong with your mother? A tael of silver! Why do you want so much silver?"

Yang Ji was taken aback.

"Mother...... Ah Niu's mother was sick, and the doctor said that she wanted silver...... , Ah Niu wants to treat his mother's illness, and Ah Niu wants a tael of silver......"

Yang Erniu was like a life-saving straw holding Zuihou, and he refused to let go.

"It turned out that his mother was sick,...... He did all this for his mother. ”

Yang Ji understood what was going on from his staccato narrative.

"Help me, please, help me...... Can you save my mother?"

Yang Erniu shook Yang Ji's legs vigorously, and tears the size of two beans flowed out, sad and longing.

Yang Ji was embarrassed for a while, he was not easy, he did his best to earn eighty-five copper plates, if it was all given to Yang Erniu, then he and Liang Bo ......

But looking at those eyes, it was difficult for Yang Ji to say anything to refuse.

How much these eyes are so imaginable to myself back then. Thinking of his deceased mother, Yang Ji couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"I don't have much money on me, only eighty-five, you take it first. Although it is less than one or two pieces of silver, it should be enough to treat your mother's illness. Ordinary doctors deceive you orphans and widows, and what they say to you must be false. You go to the south of the city and invite the doctor surnamed Zhou, he is extremely bad at medical ethics, and he has a reputation for hanging pots to help the world, and the price has always been lower than others. If you ask him to go and treat your mother, you will be cured. ”

Yang Jiyi gritted his teeth, took out the money bag on his body, hesitated, and still stuffed it into Yang Erniu's hand.

Unexpectedly, although Yang Erniu accepted Yang Ji's money bag, he still did not let go.

"My mother said that you can't ask for other people's things for nothing...... Ah Niu has a lot of things, look, look! What do you like, take it, take it all!"

Yang Erniu tilted his head with a stubborn face.

Yang Ji took a look, and saw that there were some things scattered around Yang Erniu, including combs, clay pots, bronze mirrors, statues, rouge, shoes, knitted embroidery cloths...... , which was kicked and scattered all over the ground in the beating just now.

"I'm afraid that's all he has in his family. ”

Yang Ji secretly felt pity in his heart, and he was willing to take his things.

"No, I don't need any of these things. You take it back. ”

Yang Jidao.

"No, Ah Niu can't take other people's things for nothing......"

Yang Erniu said stubbornly and didn't let go at all.

Yang Ji was helpless, knowing that Yang Erniu had a tendon, if he rejected him, I am afraid it would really be endless.

"Okay. You can take all these things back, I don't need that much, just take one is enough. ”

Yang Ji glanced at it casually, and randomly picked the most inconspicuous thing, which was a flake pebble with some strange bark-like patterns on it, which looked like it was fished up from a certain river beach, the most ordinary.

Yang Ji vaguely remembered that Yang Erniu had been beaten up for peddling this thing. In Yang Erniu's stall, only this thing is the least valuable.

"I'll assume I bought it. ”

Yang Ji smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart.

He and Yang Erniu can be regarded as sympathetic to the same disease to a certain extent, so how can they bear to take his things.

"Hehe, you're a good person,...... Only you believe me,...... This piece of star iron is for you......"

Yang Erniu smirked, relieved.

It's also strange to say, seeing that Yang Ji picked this broken stone, Yang Erniu no longer grabbed Yang Ji, as if he had solved a major matter, packed up the things on the ground, and left happily.

"Stars ......"

Yang Ji stood up, looking at Yang Erniu's departing back, his eyes were a little dazed. Then I thought of something, and a deep guilt welled up in my heart.

"This time I'm really destitute. ”

Yang Ji felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't regret it. With a smile in his heart, he casually stuffed the stone into his arms.

"Ahh

Yang Ji suddenly let out a low snort, not knowing where he had touched it, Yang Ji felt as if he had been hit by something. The pain was very faint and fleeting, so Yang Ji didn't care, packed up his things and hurried away, not paying attention, a drop of blood seeped into the stone in his arms......

……
