"Bang, bang, bang" The sound of the stake constantly beating.

Lao Hua was wearing a coarse linen dress, his face was covered with beads of sweat, and his palms, which were originally white, turned red.

More than a dozen villagers gathered around, looking at the young man practicing martial arts in front of him, he was amazed.

Wang Eryi's eyes widened, and his fat body trembled with excitement.

"Wang Er, how many times have I said it, if Brother Hua doesn't accept apprentices, you will die of this heart!" said a seven-year-old girl with braided hair.

Wang Er was not discouraged, and begged the female doll next to him who was half a head shorter: "Little naughty, no, little Yueyue, can't two catties of wild boar meat be exchanged for a week's master-apprentice love?"

The girl rolled her eyes and said angrily to Wang Er: "I just said, my brother Hua went to the woodland last night to hunt a wild boar fatter than you, and now my mother is still stewing meat." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two little dolls not far behind him, Lao Hua smiled bitterly.

It has been five days since he was brought back from a coma that day, and in these five days, Lao Hua gradually learned where he was and the specific year in the communication with the mother and daughter.

"The northwest of the Central Plains, the state of Qin, the thirty-sixth year of the Ding Dynasty. ”

"Thirty years gone, my year... Did you die in the war?"

"In thirty years, I don't know if the Song State is still there, how much territory of the Central Plains countries has been snatched by Leizhou"

The more Lao Hua thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and the intensity of hitting the wooden stake became heavier and heavier.

"Whew!" A wooden arm made of camphor wood was cracked by Lao Hua's whip kick, and the broken wooden arm was instantly embedded in the sand in front of it, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Okay!" The onlookers applauded one after another, especially Wang Er, and the sound of the two fleshy palms clapping directly overshadowed everyone.

Listening to this continuous applause, Lao Hua couldn't help but be in a trance, remembering that in the martial arts hall founded by Song Guo himself, every time his disciples saw him demonstrate the fire boxing technique, they would sincerely clap their ass.

Therefore, although Lao Hua is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy at this time, he has not shown his shyness at all.

Hugging his fists to the surrounding villagers, Lao Hua walked to the side of the girl, squatted down and smiled at her: "Xiao Yueyue, the practice of wild boar can be explained to your mother, don't have too many condiments, stew it directly for six hours, sprinkle the raw salt, chop it and put it in the brown rice porridge to cook it." ”

Xiao Yueyue looked at an extremely fair and handsome face in front of her, and whispered delicately: "Brother Hua, listen to you, of course I will explain your words to my mother!"

Touching Xiao Yueyue's head, Lao Hua got up directly and took her little hand and walked home, stepping over the little fat man who was still watching him.

Wang Er wanted to speak and stopped, looking at the young man and Xiao Yueyue who were constantly moving away, a fat face instantly cried and mourned, his facial features were crowded together, and his already small eyes were buried in his cheeks, which looked extremely funny.

It was noon, and the spring breeze was gently blowing through every corner of the village, making some of the house dogs crouching outside the village house squint comfortably.

The village consisted of twenty-eight households and was placed under the jurisdiction of Qingfeng County of the Qin State.

Xiao Yueyue's home is on the far right side of the village, which is easy to recognize, because it is a newly built house, and the red bricks on the walls look extremely bright and neat.

After entering the house, a strong and tempting aroma of meat wafted into the noses of Lao Hua and Xiao Yueyue, making the two swallow several mouthfuls of saliva.

Lao Hua admired Xiao Yueyue's cooking skills very much, and in the past few days, although she has eaten some vegetarian food, through the hands of this woman, she has eaten the feeling of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

"Mother!" I saw Xiao Yueyue running over, holding up her arms and hugging the woman's waist.

The woman seemed to be accustomed to this scene, turned her head and smiled at the young man who came by, "I knitted you a sleeveless brown caftan overnight and put it on the bed in your room to see if it fits." ”

Lao Hua was embarrassed, and hurriedly responded: "Madam is too polite, you can take me in, I can't thank you too late, you don't have to do so much for me." ”

The woman smiled and shook her head: "It's just a piece of clothing, and besides, you went to the forest to hunt a wild boar for the sake of the little girl, you don't have to think of yourself as an outsider." ”

With that, the woman lifted the lid on the stew, picked up the bowl, and put it up.

The three of them sat down around a wooden table, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Lao Hua didn't use chopsticks, he just took the bowl and poured it into his mouth, and the wild boar mixed with brown rice porridge kept rolling into Lao Hua's stomach, making him feel refreshed.

How long has it been since I experienced this feeling? It seems like I have never experienced this kind of family affection for a long time.

Lao Hua thought about it wildly, and his eyes were slightly red.

The woman and Xiao Yueyue both took small sips of porridge, and seeing that this weak young man actually had such a large amount of food, he couldn't help but worry that the porridge cooked was not enough for him alone.

Lao Hua seemed to see through their thoughts, and said with a shy face: "I usually eat so much after practicing boxing, and I usually don't eat much. ”

"Brother Hua, it doesn't matter how much you eat, as long as you can take me to the mud field every day to pinch the little clay figurines, and take me to the woodland to catch butterflies!" Xiao Yueyue smiled mischievously, and a small hand gently pulled the skirt of the young man's clothes.

Lao Hua looked at Xiao Yueyue who was moving next to her with doting on his face, scratched her nose with his hand, and said with a smile: "As long as you listen to your mother, don't make your mother angry, these are all trivial." ”

The woman looked at this scene and secretly wondered whether she should think of the young man as her son, so that the little girl would have a companion in the future... If I die one day, the little girl will also have someone to take care of.

Before the woman could think about it, there were suddenly several shouts and curses outside the door, as well as the sound of "click, click" made by the horse's hooves trampling on the ground.

"What's going on?" Lao Hua said and put down the bowl and ran out of the door, Xiao Yueyue also quickly got up and wanted to follow this incomparably tall brother Hua in her heart, but was pressed down by the woman.

"Mother, I seem to hear Wang Er's cry. Xiao Yueyue said anxiously.

The woman did not speak, but took Xiao Yueyue's hand and shut her in her room, and then followed the young man out of the door.

At this moment, all the villagers of the entire village stepped out and saw a picture that had never appeared in their eyes before.

I saw Wang Er and his father, who was in his forties, kneeling on the dirt ground, and three tall black horses were slowly circling around the father and son.

Immediately, there were three big men in black heavy armor, looking at the villagers slowly surging around them with gloomy faces, holding whips in their hands, whipping Wang Er and his father's backs from time to time.

"Ahh

But Wang Er's father didn't react, and when the sharp-eyed villagers got closer, it turned out that he was already angry and was already on the verge of dying.

There was a dead silence.

The villagers didn't even dare to show their angry expressions, and they all bowed their heads and pestled in place.

"You are so bold, it has been more than a month since the county lord issued a new tax decree, and your Zhangjia Village has not paid the grain on time. ”

When the first big man said this, he lowered his waist and lifted the placket of Wang Er's father's clothes and threw it away.

I saw Wang Er's father in a straight line, and his head hit the wall of a village house.

In the eyes of everyone, Wang Er's father's neck was directly twisted into an extremely weird arc, and his whole body lay on the wall without moving.

But he died so much that he couldn't die anymore.

Lao Hua huddled in the crowd, looking at this scene silently.

Those three big men with a big shape, looking at their temples arched high, and their eyes had a terrifying essence, I am afraid that they have reached the extremely high realm of body refining.

"I can't mess with it. Lao Hua thought to himself, to be the hero who punishes rape and eliminates evil, the end will only be extremely miserable.

Lao Hua had the idea of retreating, he didn't want to be a bird, besides, he was just an outsider, only familiar with the mother and son, and the others... I didn't even say a few words.

Just as Lao Hua slowly disappeared from the crowd, a weak figure jumped past him.

"What a big official!"

Xiao Yueyue's mother suddenly burst out of the crowd, her face full of anger.

"Even if we are in arrears of our taxes, we will never deserve to be punished with death," said the woman, limping towards the big man, and her voice became louder and louder: "You have no king's law, and you have no regard for human life!"

The three big men were about to open their mouths to respond, but the woman immediately interrupted.

"I am the daughter of Liu Qin, the left minister of the Qin State, and a letter to the imperial court can easily cure you for capital crimes!"

The villagers were surprised, they never expected that the woman who came to Zhangjia Village a few years ago would have such a heavy identity background.

The big man at the head was trembling with anger, and pointed to the woman who was walking slowly in front of him and shouted: "No matter what your identity is, we are the king, and we will cure you of the capital crime of this cheap girl!"

The big man seemed to be crazy, so he drew the long sword at his waist and rode towards the woman!

"Mother!" Xiao Yueyue's mournful cry came, and then she actually squeezed through the crowd and ran out.

At this critical moment.

A figure burst out of the pile, like an arrow that had been pulled by the full moon, and shot in the direction of the big man!

One step, two steps, three steps...

"Bang!" the horse was actually smashed to the bone by this figure, and was thrown into the air with the man and the horse.

The figure gradually became clear to everyone, but it was a thin young man.

There was a dead silence again.

The remaining two big men seemed to have seen a ghost, and they were stunned and speechless.

At this moment, Lao Hua hurriedly ran to the equally stunned woman, took her hand and ran towards the crowd.

"Brother Hua!" Xiao Yueyue was the first to come back to her senses and trotted all the way to Lao Hua's side.

Before the three of them could distance themselves from the two big men, two angry voices sounded from behind them at the same time.

"Death!"

"Take your life!"

The iron hooves stepped on the ground and made a heart-palpitating vibration, and then the sound of two sharp weapons unsheathed sounded.

Lao Hua's scalp was numb for a while, listening to the sound of getting closer and closer behind him, he raised his hands and violently pushed away the woman and Xiao Yueyue,

Without hesitation, he turned and galloped towards the two black horses.

The sun shone down, and the two wielded long swords refracted two rays of light, illuminating the handsome but pale face of the little boy in front of him.

There was no trace of fear on that face, and no despair emerged.

Yes, just a touch of perseverance and that... A pride that hasn't appeared for a long time!
