On this day, the big cow washed the manger in the stable early and put some fresh horse grass in it. After doing all this, he took a branch to practice calligraphy on the ground, in fact, there are only a few words to practice, it is nothing more than the name of him and Dayong and the name of the inn "Tongfu Inn", but it has a little charm after regular practice.

Dayong hurriedly ran over, took Da Niu's hand, and said as he ran: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, the academy is about to end school, and you won't be able to see it then." ”

Da Niu immediately understood, and quickened his pace to try to keep up with Dayong's speed.

Before he arrived at the academy, Da Niu heard the sound of reading aloud.

"The spirit is full of beautiful clothes, and the room is full of flowers. ”

"The five tones are gathering, and Jun Xinxi is happy. ”

After reading it, Mr. Zhang began to explain to them: "Children, this poem is written by Qu Yuan in the "Nine Songs" in the "Eastern Emperor Taiyi", the Eastern Emperor Taiyi is an ancient god king, in charge of the gods in the sky, and this poem depicts the scene of the gods traveling in groups and gathering for a feast, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi holds a sharp sword, wears jade in his ears, and commands the gods, and is ......in the limelight for a while."

These words were like magic, deeply attracted the big cow, because the big cow was not tall, he couldn't see the situation in the courtyard, Da Yong lifted the big cow, supported the big cow with his shoulders, and supported the big cow, so that the big cow could see everything clearly.

Mr. Zhang's appearance greatly exceeded Da Niu's expectations, in Da Niu's imagination, he can be respected by many people, and he is also known as Mr. It must be an old man who is over half a hundred years old, full of white hair, and old-fashioned. But Mr. Zhang's appearance turned out to be only a year of not being confused, and he was handsome, and the whole person gave people the feeling of spring breeze as soon as he stood there, and Da Niu thought to himself that this was probably the so-called literati temperament.

Da Niu and Da Yong both listened attentively, one of them supported one person below to listen, and the other stepped on one person to listen, and gradually forgot the time. Wait until Mr. Zhang closed the book, tidied up his clothes, and said, "Get out of class." The two of them came to their senses.

The children scattered, throwing their small school bags and humming songs in their mouths, and ran home like crazy. The schoolbag was like a kite in mid-air, laughing and laughing all the way. Da Niu and Da Yong were also very happy, walking on the way back to the inn.

Suddenly, a voice from behind stopped them, "You two like to listen to people's lectures, don't you?"

Da Niu and Da Yong turned around and saw that it was Mr. Zhang.

Dayong scratched the back of his head, smiled honestly, and said, "Mr. Zhang, our brothers passed by here, heard your voice, and were deeply attracted by your lecture, so I listened to the lecture here for a while, I hope it didn't disturb you, and I hope you don't mind." ”

Zhang Shi's eyes were indifferent, and he said: "Mind very much, when I was teaching, I was most disgusted by someone stealing from school, which seriously affected my feeling of teaching, especially your little guy." ”

Zhang Shi pointed at the big cow, his face was a little annoyed, "You've been reading this for a long time, have you seen enough! Is it interesting! If I wasn't afraid that you would have an accident, otherwise the book in my book would have been thrown at you a long time ago." ”

If there are students who see this kind of Mr. Zhang, they will definitely feel unfamiliar, because although Mr. Zhang's temper is sometimes very straightforward, but it is only limited to not paying attention to reading, liking to commit crimes, and because someone eavesdrops on the class, he will be angry, which is never before. And people other than students are even more known for treating people and things without leakage.

The same doubts also arose in Da Yong's heart, and Da Yong pulled Da Niu to his side, "Mr. Zhang, he's just a child!"

Da Niu didn't speak, lowered his head, kept stirring his fingers, and looked sluggish.

Zhang Shi didn't want to stop there, "What I hate the most is to think of people like you now, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, there has never been a difference between big and small in my eyes, I think it's okay to bow my head and admit my mistake and pretend to be pitiful? Don't dare to take responsibility, hide behind others when you commit a crime, what are you." It's annoying to see. ”

"Zhang Shi!" Dayong roared angrily, so much so that he called Mr. Town by his name, which had never been done before, "Don't deceive people too much!"

Zhang Shi didn't care, he still didn't give up, "What do you want? You are just an inn receptionist, even your store manager Zhuang Yi doesn't dare to talk to me like this." Little one, weigh yourself, how far and as far as you go!"

Da Yong couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his fist and was about to swing it, but Da Niu grabbed Da Niu's hand, "Brother, I'm fine." ”

After speaking, he turned around and bowed deeply to Zhang Shi, and said word by word: "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I will definitely not come here to disturb you again in the future." ”

Finally, the last piece of strength in the young man's heart collapsed, tears gushed out like a broken embankment, and the big cow raised his sleeve and wiped his head indiscriminately and ran away.

Dayong took a deep look at Zhang Shi, and also turned to chase the big bull.

Zhang Shi didn't forget to add, "It's not just the north lane of the academy, don't come, don't let me see you." ”

The big bull walked faster, gritting his teeth and trying not to let the cry come out, but the tears flowed freely and were scattered in the wind.

When the two of them ran away, Zhang Shi sighed, "Don't blame me, kid." You shouldn't be here. ”

A middle-aged man with a very tall body walked out on the side, the man looked at the backs of the two leaving, and said, "Is it really worth it?"

Zhang Shi didn't speak, only his fingers kept turning the scroll, falling into deep thought.

After this incident, the already silent teenager became even more silent, no matter how Dayong comforted him, but that weird feeling could be felt by anyone, and since then, Da Niu has never been in Beixiang anymore, and he doesn't practice calligraphy, and he is in the stable all day with the horse as a companion, in a daze.

When he returned to the room at night, Da Niu fell asleep in bed early, and then Da Yong ran over, "Da Niu, Da Niu, look at what I brought you?"

After Dayong took his hand, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Guess what!"

Da Niu obviously had no nature, and began to drag his clothes to get ready for bed, and said, "Let's see tomorrow, I'm a little sleepy." ”

Dayong took out the things behind the talk, and said with great interest, "Look!"

It's a book with the words "Book of Songs" printed on it, but it's a pity that these big cows can't understand it.

"I brought this to a guest who has been doing business abroad all the year round, how do you like it?"

The excitement in Da Niu's eyes flashed, and he returned to his calm, and said slowly: "Forget it, Brother Da Yong, I'm not interested in reading now, don't buy this kind of thing next time." ”

Dayong frowned, then soothed, and said: "Okay, since you don't like it, it doesn't matter, anyway, it doesn't matter if there are many books at home, it's okay to add a little literary tone." ”

The town has four lanes, east, west, north and south, namely Wutong Lane in the north lane, Taohua Lane in the south lane, persimmon lane in the west lane, and osmanthus lane in the east lane.

Each alley has its own emphasis.

Wutong Lane is the functional center of the town, with a school, a city god temple, a carpenter's house, and a dyeing workshop......

Peach Blossom Lane is the commercial center of the town, with markets, inns, fruit stalls, and pawn doors......

Persimmon Lane is the administrative center of the town, a yamen, a prison, and a post station......

Osmanthus Lane is a residential area of the town, so you can see a large number of people scattering in all directions every morning, and returning from all directions like fish in the evening.

As usual, the big cow will go to the vegetable stall every day to buy vegetables, especially when the stall is about to close in the evening, because at this time the seller is in a hurry to go home, and the remaining ingredients at the end of the day are all leftovers, and the price will only fall more the next day, so the general vegetable vendors will reduce the price of vegetables when the stall is about to close, hoping to sell out.

What the big cow has to do is to pick some good dishes at this time, in fact, it is said that it is in good condition, how good can it be, in the final analysis, it is someone else who picked the leftover of the day, rotten vegetable leaves.

The vegetable stall is located at the junction of Wutong Lane and Peach Blossom Lane, Da Niu looked at the plane tree in North Lane, and retracted his gaze, indeed he did not have North Lane after that.

The big cow came to an old woman's stall with a familiar car.

"Here it is, big bull. The old woman greeted the big cow with joy.

Among the many stalls, the price of the old woman's dishes is the lowest, and the quality of the dishes is also the best. The old woman is very old, full of silver hair, and has an amiable smile, giving people a natural sense of intimacy.

In fact, the old woman's family is good, and she did suffer a little in the early years, but she raised a good son, and she was not a big official outside, but it was more than enough to support ordinary family life, and her son was also very filial, and every time she was free, she came to visit the old woman. Several times asked the old woman to move in with her, but the old woman was awkward, saying that her children and grandchildren had children and grandchildren to live, so she would not trouble her son, and this place has been here since she got married, and she was reluctant to leave if she had feelings. As for why I came here to sell vegetables, I simply planted too many vegetables and couldn't eat them all, anyway, I was idle and I came to set up a stall casually, and it was also a time when my grandson came next time I could wrap a few red envelopes for my grandson and buy a few boxes of delicious candy. When I thought of my grandson, the old woman couldn't help but grin, and my grandson was also very obedient and sensible, just like his father when he was a child, although his wife left early, but there were so many things to be happy about in his old age.

The first time the old woman saw Da Niu, she felt that this child was strange and sensible, she knew how to help her family buy vegetables at such a young age, and when she learned more later, she felt even more sorry for this child. Maybe it's thinking that his grandson is only so old, maybe it's just his simple kindness. After that, the old woman deliberately left a little fresh vegetable leaf every time, waiting for the big cow to come, and today is no exception.

"Big Niu, look at this, this is the cucumber I just picked this morning, I have been covering it with something, and it has not been wilted by the sun yet. The old woman lifted the cloth of a vegetable basket, and there were a few green cucumbers in it.

''Really, sell me all of them.' Da Niu picked up a few cucumbers, found that the cucumbers were cold and cold, and there was all this cold water on them, thinking that this must have been left by the grandmother, and his heart was happy and full of gratitude.

The old woman was quick with her hands and feet, and in a few moments she put things into the big cow's vegetable basket.

"Two pennies. The old woman whispered.

The bull took out two boxy coins from his money bag. "Give!"

The old woman took the two pennies, "Okay, remember to come back tomorrow." ”

"Yes. Da Niu nodded and walked back with a basket of small vegetables.

"Wait a minute. The old woman's voice came from behind and stopped the big cow.

Da Niu turned around suspiciously and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

I saw the old woman take out two candies from her pocket and walked to the big cow, "Take it This is what my son brought back from outside, you can't eat it in the town, I'm old, I can't eat this thing, you can take it and taste it." ”

Da Niu really hasn't seen these things, but he's long heard that the candy outside the town is not delicious, and he's embarrassed to accept the favor of others, although he really wants to eat it, but the reflex has to refuse.

The old woman saw that Da Niu was going to refuse, so she stuffed the candy into Da Niu's pocket, "It's just two pieces of candy, and I don't have more." Take it and let your brother taste it too. ”

The big cow couldn't resist the old woman, so he had to accept it, thanked the old woman well, and left happily.

Along the way, Da Niu thought that he could eat fresh cucumbers tonight, plus a little green vegetables left over from yesterday, maybe he could boil a pot of vegetable soup, and thought of the two candies in his hand, and his heart was even happier.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing, a child is so beautiful that a little bit of beauty can make him satisfied, and forget many, many sad pasts.

The town has always dispersed very quickly in the evening, and most people basically rush home in the evening and don't come out, and the folk style has always been like this, so after a while, the entire road to Peach Blossom Lane will be empty.

Da Niu was used to this, so he didn't feel anything unusual, but he was suddenly kicked to the ground from behind.

The big cow stumbled and fell to the ground, and the vegetables in the vegetable basket were scattered all over the ground.

The man walked leisurely and leisurely, followed by two younger brothers who were slightly shorter than him, and the big bull wanted to turn over and stand up, but the man stepped on his back and couldn't do anything. After all, he was only an eleven or twelve-year-old child, but the person who came was a young man who was a head taller than him.

The man was tall and elegant. The clothes are snow-white fine silk, embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf pattern of snow-white piping, a bamboo slip on the head of the hair, very cleverly set off the extraordinary figure of a noble son, and the waist is equipped with a piece of emerald green mutton fat jade jade pendant, and it looks extraordinary, the smile is quite a bit of a merry boy's hand, far-reaching. The chin is slightly raised, the pride is high, the peach blossom-shaped eyes are in the middle, the galaxy is brilliant, and the most outstanding thing is the face, which is not as white as a man, but like the face of a young girl.

The white-faced young man bent down slightly, put one arm on his thigh, and said slowly and condescendingly: "It's you, making Mr. angry?"

Da Niu didn't speak, just clutched two candies and struggled to stand up.

The white-faced young man felt the struggle of the big bull, smiled mockingly, increased his strength, and even crushed his toes, "What about you, dumb man! A wild child who came out of the middle of the road, a handyman who washed the stable, a beggar who came from exile here, and a dog leg who settled accounts at the inn. You deserve to make your husband angry?!"

The big cow felt the unbearable pain of cutting meat with a knife, and the pain on his back was scorching.

"Give me the stick!" the white-faced youth beckoned to the other two, one of whom handed over the stick that had been prepared long ago.

A stick went down and hit the big cow on the back, and scolded while beating back: "Where did the rotten oranges come from, how far and how far they roll, this is not the place where you should come." ”

Stick after stick, the white-faced young man was ruthless, he didn't care whether the big cow was dead or alive, the big cow didn't say a word, he didn't cry, he gritted his teeth and endured it, but his eyes were resolute and almost hideous.

The white-faced young man kept talking, "Two gadgets of dead parents, really can't find death?" Don't worry, when I'm done cleaning up, I'll clean up that dog's legs." ”

Hearing the white-faced young man say that he wanted to clean up Brother Da Yong, Da Niu finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, Da Niu swayed his hands and feet wildly, dusty, and a dull roar kept coming out of his mouth, like a mad dog. He can accept the abuse, he can accept the beating, but if someone wants to attack Brother Dayong, he will never accept it, because that is his only relative, and he is the best person for him.

The white-faced young man was a little satisfied with Da Niu's reaction, "Yo, the dog is in a hurry to jump off the wall, very good, since that's the case, I'll tell you about my method." Doesn't that Dayong like to be a dog's leg, then I'll break his leg so that he can't be a dog's leg anymore, not only can't he be a dog's leg, but he can't even get out of bed. ”

The white-faced young man paused slightly, and said in a solemn tone, "You said that I should cut off his leg first?"

The white-faced young man fell with a stick again, and Da Niu's back was suddenly covered with blood, "Why don't you break the two legs together with the third leg, and directly cut off the grandchildren." According to Zhuang Yi's old fox temperament, he will definitely be driven out of the street, but if he doesn't work, will he still have a job? ”

The white-faced young man was very proud, and even laughed wildly, but a powerful force came from under his feet and lifted his feet, "Huh?"

Slightly surprised, he increased his strength a little more, and that strength also increased a little more, which was the strength of the big cow after he was angry. At this time, the big bull gritted his teeth, there was faint blood flowing out of the corners of his mouth, his eyes were bloodshot, the green tendons on his hands were bursting up, and from time to time a huge panting sound came out from this small body, and an ordinary beast roared angrily.

The white-faced young man smiled slightly, brushed his hair in the sunset, the evening sun had not yet completely set, and the reflection on the white-faced young man's face looked warm and gloomy, adding a bit of evil charm and high spirits. In a blink of an eye, his face turned angry again, and he stomped on the back of the big cow fiercely, "Rotten oranges!"

In the middle of this kick, the place where the big cow's limbs were supported was dented, and the whole body was planted in the soil, and a mouthful of blood spit out of the big cow's mouth. The pain was so intense that something seemed to break from its body, and it hurt so much that the big cow curled up in a ball, and whimpered in his throat.

The white-faced young man was slightly satisfied, removed his foot from the big bull, and ordered his two subordinates, "Hit me!"

The two of them are also used to this, and they don't hit lightly or heavily, kick after kick, where they are caught. The big bull was powerless to resist, only his body curled up, protecting a few key parts, and the candy pinched by the mobile phone had already been shattered because of too much force.

The white-faced young man kept watching without moving, as if he felt that hitting a big cow would dirty his hands.

I don't know how long it took, but the white-faced young man probably felt tired, so he left with two of his men. Before leaving, he didn't forget to leave the next sentence, "My name is Wu Xuenian, and you can come to me if you have the ability, provided that you live longer than your brother." ”

After saying that, he walked away.

Da Niu was covered with blood and bruises all over his body at this time, his eyes were foggy, and he kept reciting the words "Wu Xuenian" in his mouth, he wanted to remember him and go to save Brother Da Yong, but he was too seriously injured to stand up, and gradually lost consciousness, if he fainted on the street, it would mean death.

In the blur, Da Niu seemed to see a figure appear, and then he was completely unconscious.

"Are you sure you want to do this? you're going to die!" someone asked.

"I can't let him carry this fate for me, it's time to put an end to everything. The other replied.

"You're going to die!" the man was visibly angry, but there was some pleading in the anger.

"Death is a matter of time. The other seemed unconcerned, even relieved. ”
