Chapter 7 The dragon swims in shallow water

In the dead of night, everything is silent. Liu Yanchang was still lying quietly on the bed, unconscious and sleepy.

For a whole day and two nights, he seemed to dream a lot of things.

In the early morning of the next day, just after the rooster crowed three times, Liu Yanchang rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist, and suspected that last night was just a dream.

It's just that I suddenly remember "Nine Changes of the True Dragon" or something, vaguely as if something was put into my mind, and I want to try to remember it, but I can't remember anything.

Fortunately, Liu Yanchang is not a person who drills the horns of the bull, since he can't think of it, he simply let it go, and as soon as he turned over and jumped out of bed, he felt refreshed and refreshed.

"Sister, sister, where are you?" Liu Yanchang searched the courtyard and shouted loudly.

Every morning, Liu Qiaoyun would prepare breakfast, and after he had eaten, he would go to school in a private school, and it had never changed for seven or eight years.

"What's going on today, sister, did she go grocery shopping?" Liu Yanchang guessed wildly, he didn't know that this was the third day.

Liu Yanchang went to the kitchen to check again, only to see that the stove was cold and there was no fire, there were still green vegetables and radishes, and there were still some millet in the rice tank. Seeing that everything was as usual, he was even more anxious, as if something big had happened.

Once this sense of foreboding grows, it spreads irrepressibly, as if you have seen something in the dark, but it is not real.

"Liu Gongzi, what are you doing in such a hurry, you can't be looking for your sister, right?"

Liu Yanchang had just walked out of the small courtyard and was about to go to the market to have a look, when he happened to meet Aunt Wu who was walking towards him.

"It turned out to be Aunt Wu, do you know where my sister went?"

"Yo, what a nerd! Everyone in the town knows about it, but I'm afraid you don't. Aunt Wu looked impatient, this Zhao Yuanwai put down his words the year before last, if any matchmaker can help him say Liu Qiaoyun's family business, he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver.

She has always regarded this one hundred taels of honorarium as something in her pocket, who would have wanted to be preempted by Ma Sanpo, the crazy woman of Shinto Taoism, how can she not have a little anger in her heart?

No, since he can't get the one hundred taels of honorarium, he has to make Ma Sanpo a little uncomfortable. It is said that nerds have tendons, so you might as well take Liu Yanchang to her to make trouble and find some bad luck for her.

Although Liu Yanchang hates Aunt Wu's personality, what can he say now, he can only bow his hand and say: "Please also ask Aunt Wu to tell the truth!"

"It's all Ma Sanpo's things that aren't human, she's ······" Aunt Wu added fuel and vinegar and told Liu Qiaoyun in detail about being deceived before, although there were some discrepancies, but they were generally still facts.

After hearing this, Liu Yanchang gritted a mouthful of steel teeth, clenched his fists, and his green tendons burst out. It is said that it is useless to be a scholar, and today it seems that he has no choice but to be angry, and blood is splashed in five steps!

"Thank you Aunt Wu for telling me!" Liu Yanchang thanked him and turned around and returned to the courtyard.

"Where are you going? It's all Ma Sanpo's crazy mother-in-law, you can't make her feel better!" Aunt Wu thought that Liu Yanchang was afraid, and while secretly scolding him for being useless, she also wanted to provoke him to find trouble with Ma Sanpo.

Liu Yanchang sneered and ignored it, although Ma Sanpo is hateful, she is not the evil leader. Although he, Liu Yanchang, is a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, he is not afraid of the soft and afraid of the hard, and he does not look for Zhao Yuanwai, but looks for Ma Sanpo to vent his anger.

"You coward, my sister has been robbed, can you swallow this breath?"

"It is said that the characters in the book are heroic and righteous, and the grievances are clear, what kind of thing are you?"

······

Aunt Wu stood outside the door and scolded for a while, but when she saw that no one paid attention, she had to leave boringly.

Liu Yanchang returned to the courtyard, and he was not idle, he wanted to kill people now, but the only weapon suitable for use at home was a kitchen knife.

Although the kitchen knife is small, it is also a knife, and it is still more practical than a fist to cut people.

Liu Yanchang sharpened the rough and inferior kitchen knife all at once, even if it was carefully polished, it was still dull.

He raised the kitchen knife, and his appearance was still reflected on the white blade, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were full of murderous energy. It didn't seem like he used to be, as if someone had infused him with boldness, fearlessness and bloodthirstiness, but he didn't hate this slightly cold-blooded self.

"Three days, I only have three days!" Liu Yanchang played with the kitchen knife, thinking about how to rescue his sister in this limited time.

This Zhao Yuan is also a figure with a head and face in ten miles and eight townships, and he once served in the county government, so he also pays attention to the right name in everything. For example, this time he robbed Liu Qiaoyun, although he played three indiscriminate methods, in order to plug the mouths of the villagers, he also wanted a Ming media to marry, and the happy day was set in three days.

The sun is blazing, and although it is autumn, the midday sun is still very hot. The earth was golden and seemed to be a little hot, and the autumn cicadas on the trees were making their final chioses.

Liu Yanchang was carrying a kitchen knife in his arms, walking in the sun, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little cold. The so-called broad daylight does not dispel evil and filth.

The mansion of Zhaofu is a famous Zhumen family with a high-walled compound in Qingxi Town. There are also a pair of lifelike stone lions at the door, and two strong guardians.

Liu Yanchang walked to the door, only to see that the red lantern had been hung high above the door, and the stone lion was also dressed with ribbons and red flowers.

"Hey, isn't this Liu Gongzi? in two days, it will be our brother-in-law outside Zhao Yuan!"

"Haha, that's right! It's just that Zhao Yuanwai's brother-in-law is a bit much, I'm afraid it's not very valuable!"

When the two nurses saw that it was Liu Yanchang, they laughed without any scruples. Bazhou has always had fierce folk customs, if Liu Yanchang is a martial artist, they are still afraid of three points, and a poor scholar does not need to be taken seriously.

"Go, let the surnamed Zhao come out!" Dealing with this gang of vicious dogs and lackeys, Liu Yanchang naturally will not have a good face.

"I didn't expect you kid to be quite crazy, but this Zhao Mansion is not something that anyone can enter if they want to! If you want to blackmail money, you might as well wait for your sister to become a relative before coming, that would be more justifiable, wouldn't it?"

Liu Yanchang's heart burned like fire when he heard this, his face turned red, and his anger rushed to the top of his head.

He was a man of two lives, and he knew these lackeys best, and sometimes these lackeys were even more hateful than their masters. And he has no direct stake in these two nursing homes, but because of a wedding, they are unbalanced in their hearts, and they have attracted such malice.

"If you don't leave, be careful that Lao Tzu beats you. Isn't it just eating soft rice, and it tastes good?" The nursing home viciously pushed Liu Yanchang and threw a silver ingot to the ground: "This is given to you by Zhao Yuanwai, don't always mess around here!"

"That's it, I heard that his sister sold herself to the Zhao Mansion just to save him. I haven't done this wedding wine yet, so I think I'm going to get rich, I'm really not human!"

"Scholars are unkind, greedy for money and lustful, don't you look at those who are officials, aren't they all read books?"

······

A group of unknown passers-by echoed and looked at Liu Yanchang sideways, as if he was the biggest scum in the world.

Liu Yanchang touched the kitchen knife in his arms, stomped the silver on the ground with one kick, and after thinking about it again, he finally chose to leave.

The courage of the horseman is not advisable, and pulling the knife directly like this will not only not save her sister, but will also ruin her reputation.
