Fairy Sword Inquiry 1

Chapter 16

The sky is high and the clouds are light, looking at the geese flying south.It was like a group of returning geese on the other side, carrying Ju Ying's carriage, also gradually disappeared into the distance under the gaze of the young man.Saying goodbye to Juying, to Xingyan, it seems like saying goodbye to a life.It was only two or three days before and after getting along with Ju Ying, but it was already unforgettable for Xing Yan.However, for him, a street boy from a mountain village, the word "unforgettable" seems to be too extravagant.Compared with the days of running around for life all day, the two or three days of sharing joys and sorrows with Ju Ying is just an accident in life.When Yi Ren left, all of this disappeared.

It was only a moment of melancholy, and Xingyan suddenly remembered a big event: he hadn't gone to work in Daoxianglou for two days! "I can't stay here in a daze anymore!"

Xing Yan blamed himself secretly, "I have to go back and have a look! Maybe the shopkeeper Liu has something to say. Maybe, let's deduct a lot of wages..." Not to mention his panic, but also to say that his father is arrogant, I happened to hunt a few wild rabbits in the past two days, so I wanted my son to drop by and sell them in the city as usual.But this time, the young man felt that he had been absent from work for two days, and if he brought wild animals from his own mountain to go there now, shopkeeper Liu would not look good.Thinking of this, he explained the whole story to his father, and then the father and son rushed to Raozhou City together.

When he arrived at Daoxianglou, Xingyan realized that the matter was much more serious than he had imagined.Since he didn't show up for two days, not only did shopkeeper Liu not give him a penny of this month's wages, what's worse, he had already been fired by the shopkeeper.

He was still thinking of a few words of kindness and pleading, but found that the general situation was over, and his position had obviously been replaced by a strange young boy.

In fact, for shopkeeper Liu, the owner of Daoxianglou, the young man didn't come to work these two days, but he fell right into his arms!In the past, this young migrant worker was often unable to come to work early because of the procrastination of school classes, and the shopkeeper had long disliked him.If he hadn't been looking at Mr. Ji with a bit of a naughty face, Xingyan would have been kicked out of the door by him long ago.And the fact that this brat was absent from work these two days was a godsend opportunity. Not only could he be dismissed justifiably, but he could also take the opportunity to save his wages and expenses this month!
So, as soon as Xingyan mentioned the wages he had been deducted, shopkeeper Liu seemed to be stung by a wasp, jumped three feet high, picked up an abacus, and beat it with a crackle, patiently calculating with the former clerk. Two days of absenteeism brought serious consequences to Daoxianglou.And the head of Daoxianglou was really capable. In the end, even Xingyan began to feel ashamed of his caressing.Because, through Boss Liu’s explanation, not only should Daoxianglou not replenish Xingyan’s money, but Xingyan has to pay a sum of money to the restaurant—but he doesn’t have to pay the money anymore, the bodhisattva-hearted shopkeeper said to him like this :
"Oh, I won't mention it. I am naturally soft-hearted..." So when the dizzy young man woke up, he found that he had left the restaurant at some point and was now standing on the street .As the saying goes, people will be unlucky, and drinking cold water will also clog their teeth.Just as he was wandering aimlessly on the street, looking around for job recruitment notices, he suddenly saw a few servants beside him, laughing and joking all the way, just shouting: "Oh! Popi Liuzhier , You’re blackmailing people on the ground again!” Hearing this, the absent-minded young man casually looked in the direction the boys were running.Who knows, Xingyan was taken aback when he saw this!Because, the noisy street corner in the distance is exactly the place where his father set up a stall to sell wild things. "Both of us father and son will not be so unlucky today, right?" Worried, Xingyan hurriedly trotted all the way there.After looking through the crowd, he didn't get angry: it turned out that the rogue Sun Liuzhi, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, grabbed the hem of his trousers tightly, not someone else, but his father Zhangtou!
This simple and honest old Zhangtou is now being harassed by rogues and doesn't know how to deal with himself. When he suddenly sees Xing Yan'er who often hangs out in the city, he seems to be looking forward to the backbone, so he quickly pulls it away and holds it back for a long time poured out his bitterness to him.Old Zhangtou was holding his breath in his heart, and even his voice was trembling.

After hearing his father's incoherent narration, Xing Yan finally understood what was going on.It turned out that Liuzhi, the son of the shabby family, came over just now to buy a rabbit from the old man, but he didn't talk about the price, he just held the rabbit and caressed it non-stop.

Just as the old man got impatient, he asked him if he saw it well, but unexpectedly, Sun Liuzhi suddenly called out, saying that the rabbit was raised by his family, and it just ran away yesterday, and he was looking for it everywhere. Zhangtou found it here.Therefore, this rascal decided that Old Zhangtou stole his rabbit, not only the rabbit he was tossing in his hand got to be his, but also Old Zhangtou gave him all the other rabbits.

Sun Liuzhi put on such a rascal face, how could that old Zhangtou bear it, and he was immediately pissed off!God is so pitiful, he hunted this rabbit so hard in the horseshoe mountain. The ravine is still more than ten or twenty miles away from Raozhou city. How could he catch his grandson Liuzhi's rabbit by mistake? ? !
The old Zhangtou lost his temper for a while, he couldn't speak, he just tried to snatch the rabbit in Liuzhi's hand, but unexpectedly, he fell on the ground and pretended to be dead. He yelled "killed people, killed people".His pretentiousness, on the contrary, took a breath from the upright old Zhang Tou, and was so frightened that he was at a loss!After hearing what my father said, and looking at the scene in front of me, I wake up and say that I feel like I have eaten a firefly snowman.

Speaking of which, he was very familiar with Sun Liuzhi who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead.This guy is one of the most famous rogues in Raozhou City who settled down. Because of his inborn misnomer, everyone calls him Sun Liuzhi, but after a long time, no one knows his real name.The trick that Sun Liuzhi is most familiar with is to stare at the honest and honest country folks, find an excuse to quarrel when he sees an opportunity, and lie on the ground pretending to be dead as soon as he is slightly scratched.Most of the countrymen who were blackmailed by him were timid and fearful. When they saw him looking for death and life, they dared not argue with him.Therefore, Sun Liuzhi's bad move has been tried and tested repeatedly, and it never fails.It's just that today, I'm afraid it will be a little embarrassing for him to mess with this not-so-good boy!

At this time, Xingyan was just fired, and he was holding his breath. Seeing that his loyal and kind father was being blackmailed by the rogue, he immediately flew into a rage.Seeing Sun Liuzhi rolling on the ground and pretending to be dead, he immediately became angry, and he became angry. He looked around to see if there was anyone who could do it, and he caught a glimpse of a gangster among the onlookers. With a ring-shou knife in his hand, he leaped over with a stride and shouted loudly:

"What a rascal, settle down! If you risk your own life today, the young master will fulfill you!" After finishing speaking, the young man went straight to the knife handle with his right hand!It is said that when he woke up and said that he wanted to grab the knife and kill Sun Liuzhi'er, he was stopped by the man with the knife.This man saw that the boy was born with clear features, but he didn't expect that he was also so reckless, it was really not worthwhile to kill someone because of such a trivial matter.When he couldn't bear it in his heart, he quickly pressed the boy's hand that was already on the handle of the knife, and sincerely persuaded:

"Stay here, little brother, and listen to my brother! I think this guy on the ground is just dying, why bother to take his youthful life for him?!"

The impulsive young man, when he heard the heartfelt words of the middle-aged man, suddenly felt sad, and said in a sad tone:

"Uncle doesn't know something, and now I have no interest in life. Just this morning, the woman I had admired for a long time just left me, and I don't know why. Fired by the shopkeeper. My life is so worthless, why do I need it..."

Listening to this desolate tone, everyone who heard it was moved.But when the boy's tone changed, he opened his eyes and said angrily:

"Although this master has good intentions, I just don't need to stop him. Sun Liu pointed out that he is so dirty, he dared to bully my old father. Today, even if I risk my life, I will cut off the dog's head! In this way, but still You can give me the name of Zhang Xingyan Xiaolie! — Please don’t worry, hero, after beheading this guy, I will help you clean this knife first before going to court!"

Speaking of this, the young man was already extremely excited, only to hear him yell: "Six-finger pickle, come and die!"

Before the sound of roaring could be heard, the young man brushed away the palm of the quack man's hand; so everyone only heard a sound of "choking langlang", and the young man had pulled out the shining ring-shoulder knife!In an instant, the people nearby only felt a gust of cold knife wind sweeping by, and immediately retreated hurriedly.

And the Xingyan old man with his head open, has he ever seen such a scene?I didn't expect that Xingyanwa, who was smiling all day long, had such a violent temper!For a moment, this honest man who has always been kind to others was stunned and could not make a sound on the spot!
There was no one to stop him for a moment, and everyone thought that Pompie was about to splatter blood on the spot, but who knew that the young man with the knife in his hand had just had time to turn around, but when he saw that Pompie Sun Liuzhi who couldn't afford to die, he immediately "chuckled" and fell to the ground Jump up, push through the crowd, and get out of here!

So, when the menacing young man turned around with his knife and looked again, he found that the yellow mud field where the guy was lying was now completely empty, with only a few chicken feathers still whirling lonely on the ground. ...

"Hey! This guy has fast legs! Otherwise, I'll be stabbed!" The young man who didn't grab Sun Liuzhi's head was still standing there resentful!Not to mention the annoyance, the crowd around the audience breathed a sigh of relief!No one expected that the boy who usually had a playful and smiling face in the neighborhood would be so cruel this time, that he would go all out and fight with others because of being blackmailed by his father.It's just that although it's nice to poke here and watch the excitement, if a murder case really happens, it will inevitably alarm the government, shake the place, and disturb the neighbors, not to mention the baby's life will be involved, it's really not worth it!Therefore, seeing that this matter has subsided, everyone is very happy.

Seeing that this matter is over, everyone also slowly dispersed.And the quack who was awakened to draw his sword, saw that this young man was so brave and didn't take human life seriously, even though he had traveled all over the world and had a lot of experience, he couldn't help but secretly startled when he saw this.Therefore, after Xingyan returned the saber, the man didn't dare to argue with him, he just exchanged a few words, charged him with a crime, and then left.

Although the crowd had dispersed, the old Zhang Tou, who had been poking there for a long time and hadn't reacted, was still in shock—it was so dangerous just now, my precious son almost killed himself for a trivial matter!Thinking of this, Old Zhang felt regretful in his heart:

"If I knew my son was so reckless, I should have given these hares away with both hands!" Recalling the flashes of swords and swords just now, Lao Zhang's face turned ashen-colored.After he calmed down a bit, he complained about his son's recklessness.Seeing that the old father was getting angry in a hurry, the sullen young man suddenly gave a "chuck" smile.This smile startled his father!
The old man was in a cloud of confusion, but he listened to the boy explaining to him in detail: "Don't worry, Daddy, although the boy is unworthy, how can he be that desperate person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat. I was just thinking about the poor son Liuzhi who settled down in the house. He is a scoundrel, if we swallowed our anger and fulfilled his wish today, we would inevitably be looked down upon by him. Unlike children, this kind of rogue just doesn't know how to advance or retreat. If he fulfills his wish today, he will inevitably entangle himself like maggots to the bone in the future, endlessly Hugh. My family still has to come to Raozhou City to sell mountain and wild products frequently. I really can't afford the trouble!

"So, think twice, kid, why don't you resort to a desperate plan. Hey! This guy scares me so much today, and I won't dare to pester him again next time. It's the perfect plan!"

Speaking of this, seeing that Dad's expression had calmed down, he continued to say: "Ha, if the scare spreads, the rest of Raozhou City's rascals, if they want to disturb Dad's business again, they must first touch themselves Neck, ask yourself how many lives you have!" After kidnapping Shangguan the night before and threatening to release him, the 16-year-old boy now has unknowingly become bold and careful, knowing that there are some villains in the world who must deal with them. With brutal means.Hearing what his son said, the old Zhangtou also felt that there was some truth in it.Just to say, watching Xing Yan'er grow up, he has never been the kind of bold and reckless person.Besides, his son has read poetry and books with Mr. Ji, so he would never be so reckless.

But even so, the old Zhangtou couldn't help but think of the dangerous scene just now, his slightly calmed down face became a little pale again, so he said to Xingyan:

"Boy! What if Sun Liuzhi is a real rascal, and he just won't run away, or tries to get you a knife, and then what if he steals our money?"

Hearing Daddy's question, Xingyan just smiled calmly: "Don't worry about it, Daddy. The child has already seen it before going to grab the knife. The place where the dilapidated house was lying happened to avoid the cold bluestone slabs, so he was willing to lie on the yellow mud. On the ground—do you think that this guy is afraid of the cold, and now he heard the boy and the quack man sternly answering each other, and saw me draw a knife to make a gesture, so there is no reason not to run away? Haha!"

Speaking of this, Xingyan seemed to see that guy Sun Liuzhi in a panic again, and couldn't help laughing out loud!

"Good! What a wise and courageous Xiaolie man!"

While the two father and son were answering one-on-one, a person suddenly appeared from the side, and praised the boy who was having fun!
