Prequel Chapter 21 Scoundrels
Uncle Wang's death cast a shadow of grief on the Qin family, Qin Zongyao also blamed himself for not being able to save Uncle Wang's life, Uncle Wang's kindness, smile, blame, scenes before his death, constantly circulated in the minds of everyone in the Qin family, but grief and anger can eventually be turned into strength.
Uncle Wang's death also stimulated the hatred of the Qin family towards the Heavenly Daomen, so he worked harder to practice, on the other hand, Qin Mufeng, since Uncle Wang's death, he was originally cheerful, he became as silent as Qin Yan, the difference is that what appears in Qin Mufeng's eyes all day long is only careless coldness, but Qin Mufeng's eyes often exude a fiery fire, the whole person is like a machine, tireless practice, solid foundation, so that Qin Liang and others are both admired and worried.
It's just that since Uncle Wang's death, the Heavenly Dao Gate seems to have disappeared on the rivers and lakes, and it is rarely heard of.
Time, although it can calm a person's anger, but the hatred buried in the bottom of his heart will only become more and more deep-rooted, Qin Mufeng's silence has slowly dissolved, and Qin Yan's coldness has gradually dissolved, at least, it is no longer that no one cares, even if the tone still seems to be so careless.
Qin Yi also began to accept Qin Liang's scholarly anger because of Uncle Wang's advice before his death, although bickering still happened from time to time.
A year later, Qin Mufeng and Qin Yan have begun to contact the "Curling Autumn Moon Technique", and everyone in the Qin family is also practicing well, such as Ah Tie's cultivation under the guidance of Qin Yi, who is also good at brute force, and has even entered the ranks of third-rate masters on the rivers and lakes.
The autumn wind has ruthlessly shaken off the yellow leaves, and the bare branches show a trace of desolation, as if they are reluctant to leave the leaves.
This morning, Qin Zongyao called Ah Tie and Qin Mufeng into the front hall, "Ah Tie, you work hard and are tireless on weekdays, just relax today, the drunken fairy building in the county town is open, send me this invitation, you go to the account room to get some silver taels, and take these three little guys to see the excitement." Qin Zongyao said.
When Ah Tie heard this, his heart was extremely excited, and he had read Qin Zongyao's trust in him from Qin Zongyao's words.
"Yes, sir. Ah Tie responded.
"Go early and come back early. Qin Zongyao commanded.
Ah Tie took the three of them to walk slowly on the path between the tea gardens, perhaps because of the comfortable mood at the moment, Qin Mufeng and Qin Liang actually began to play and fight.
Because the Qin family makes a living by selling tea, the location of the Qin family is also between the tea plantations, although it is already a countryside, but it is only separated from the county by a water, and the middle is separated by the Yanxi. On both sides of the river, there is still a dam built when Dayu controlled the water, which has stood here for thousands of years, guarding the people of Li from floods.
Ah Tie looked at Qin Mufeng and Qin Liang who were running all the way forward, and smiled knowingly, he was not worried about these two, but he was more worried about Qin Yan.
"I, I can walk on my own. Qin Yan said coldly.
Ah Tie originally wanted to pick him up, but Qin Yan said coldly, and his outstretched hands paused awkwardly in mid-air.
"Eh, hehe~" Ah Tie smiled and said to Qin Yan, "When the young master is tired, tell Brother Ah Tie, Brother Tie will let you ride a horse." ”
Qin Yan didn't answer, just casually skimmed Ah Tie with a pair of small eyes, and then continued to walk on his own.
Caught off guard, Ah Tie's hands grabbed it hard, Qin Yan was about to react, Ah Tie had already put Qin Yan on his neck, and then grabbed Qin Yan's two little feet and ran forward.
"Brother Tie, is this horse fast, drive, drive!" "Brother Tie shouted and laughed to himself.
Qin Yan was helpless, although his face was still expressionless, but it was no longer the cold appearance he had before, maybe he had already recognized Ah Tie in his heart, right?
The autumn breeze stirs up ripples and ripples.
In Shengxian County, the crowd is bustling, and the streets and alleys are full of traffic. The three children were fascinated by the bustling scene in front of them and lingered in front of the stalls lined up on the side of the road.
"Ahh
(It has not been mentioned before that the year set in this novel is the middle of the Ming Dynasty, about 1500, that is, more than 500 years ago.) Since the invention of papermaking by Cai Lun in the Western Han Dynasty, paper gradually replaced brocade silk as the main writing material, and printing has undergone the transformation from engraving printing in the seventh century to the invention of movable type printing by Bi Sheng in the Northern Song Dynasty. )
"This little brother has a good eye, the 'Emperor Benji' of this volume of "Historical Records" has a history of hundreds of years, and it is a thing that has been passed down from generation to generation by villains, but the old mother in the family is sick and has to be sold cheaply, I don't know what price the little brother will pay?"
"Hehe, it's been hundreds of years, why is the handwriting on this bamboo slip so new?" Qin Liang said with a smile.
The vendor couldn't help but blush, "Who's little kid, at a young age, learns from others to be elegant, pretends to be, and plays at the same time." The vendor rebuked.
"Zi said, those who are angry and corrupt, and the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry. At this time, a middle-aged man passing by groaned.
"Yo, lord, hello, what wind blew you here today. The vendor smiled and complimented.
"Hehe, I'm going out to visit relatives for a few days, and it happens that you are here to talk nonsense and make nonsense, so I stop to watch you play monkey show. "The one who lifts the man.
"Hehe, I can raise people and smile, and the little three lives are lucky. "The peddler's face doesn't seem to be ordinarily thick.
"This boy is dignified, I don't know if I am lucky enough to be able to intersect with you?" said the man who raised his head and bowed his hand to Qin Liang.
"Mr. is too modest, and Xiaosheng is flattered. Qin Liang saluted in return.
"It's a pity that there is something important in the next day, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, this bamboo slip should be a gift to meet next, if the son is okay after five days, can you come to the cold house and gather in the next one? The person asked, and casually handed over the volume of "Historical Records".
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" Qin Liang replied, and then watched the man leave.
Qin Mufeng and the three of them on the side felt so sore that they all felt so sore that they had a toothache when they heard Qin Liang and the lifter drop their bookbags, but fortunately, the lifter had already left, and Qin Liang also stuffed the scroll of history into the collar of his chest like a treasure at this time.
The four of them walked and walked, and a rapid gong sounded, and many pedestrians surrounded them in an instant.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Shengxian County, my Zhang brothers have just arrived, and I want to borrow your treasure land to show the martial arts of my two brothers, I hope that you will have a money field and those who have no money will have a personal field!" In the middle of the crowd, a young man shouted at the top of his voice, his voice was strong and powerful, even in the noisy market, the people present could already hear his voice clearly.
As soon as the words fell, I saw the two Zhang brothers, each holding a spear, unfolding the number of roads to attack each other, the ruthlessness of the moves, the number of roads, and the fierceness of the force, as if they were not performing in the city at this moment, but fighting each other on the battlefield, and the crowd watching was also quiet at the moment, without a trace of applause, everyone's hearts were already in their throats at this moment, for fear that the two brothers would accidentally hang the color on the spot.
The two spears danced like two dragons, and the energy they brought up made people feel as if even the air had become thinner, and it was faintly breathless.
At this time, Qin Zhen's eyes were firmly staring at the two fiercely fighting figures, and his little hands couldn't help but dance.
He, just watching the two fight, can he learn the other party's martial arts path?
The fierce exchange did not last long, just as the good things were always fleeting. A sharp spear tip hit a person's throat, and a trace of blood slowly flowed down the tip of the spear.
"Big brother, are you alright?" said the winning man as he threw down his spear and held the other man in concern.
"It's okay, it's just a skin injury, I didn't expect the second brother's marksmanship to be able to send and receive freely, and the eldest brother is ashamed!" the injured man laughed.
"How can you practice the style so hard, it's scared to death," one of the spectators complained.
"Hehe, this eldest brother, both my brothers feel that even if they are entertainers, they must do their best, and they can't live up to everyone's reward. The slightly older man said.
"Then if it scares me out of my heart, can you two pay the money?" the old man complained unrelentingly.
"......" The two brothers didn't expect such a question, and they were speechless.
However, the embarrassing atmosphere did not last long, Qin Mufeng's voice sounded: "Brother Tie, give them some silver, they must have encountered difficulties before they practiced here, otherwise such a good martial art would not have fallen here." ”
When Ah Tie heard this, he also agreed with Qin Mufeng's statement in his heart, and took out two pennies to the two brothers.
"Ahh
"This ......" The two brothers seemed to be dreaming, and they never expected that a young man who looked only eight or nine years old would be so generous.
"Jianghu people often say, rely on their parents at home, rely on friends when they go out, and a little silver is something outside the body, why should the two eldest brothers make a fuss?" At this time, Qin Liang also echoed, and the crowd also stirred up at this time, appreciating the actions of the two teenagers, and at the same time, the copper money and silver fell in front of the two brothers like a heavenly girl.
However, a figure was slowly squeezing through the crowd and standing behind Qin Mufeng's four people.
Qin Liang arched his hand at the two brothers, cast a kind smile, and as soon as he turned around, he felt that he had bumped into someone.
"Ahhh~" I saw the old man who had made trouble for the two brothers just now sitting on the ground with his face distorted, as if he was suffering great pain.
"Hit someone dead~Come on~" The old man shouted loudly.
"This old gentleman, Xiao Shengshi just turned around, why did you do it on the ground, not to mention that even if it hit you, it shouldn't be a dead person, right?Otherwise, how can you still shout so loudly?" Qin Liang wondered.
"Look, everyone, this kid hit someone and denied it, ah, it hurts me to death. The old man ignored Qin Liang and continued to shout.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way" At this time, a pair of officials drove the crowd.
"The messenger came just in time, this kid still denied it when he bumped into someone, give me a comment!" The old man saw the official and hugged Qin Liang's calf.
"In that case, come with us to the yamen. The two officials couldn't help but say that they were escorting Qin Liang to leave.
"No, I didn't!" Qin Liang shouted loudly, and Ah Tie also came up to stop the official at this time, "Two poor masters, this is the young master of our Qin family, and we will never deny it, it is really the old man who deliberately made it difficult." ”
"What about the Qin family, are they bullying others?
"Poor master, our two brothers saw with our own eyes that it was this eldest brother who deliberately made things difficult for the son, and I hope that the poor master will find out the truth and then make a decision. The two brothers who were performing at this time stood up and said.
"Oh, don't you mention it, I forgot, you two are performing here, not to mention obstructing traffic, and you are dancing knives and guns with blood, which has a bad impact, and the crime is one more degree, what do you two think of me as the law of the Ming Dynasty?
