Yan Junqi asked: "Where does the horse come from?"
Lu Xu: "North!"
Lu Xu was startled.
yes!
The horses come not from the South Gate Pier, but from the north!
Yan Junqi: "There is a shortage of horses now. Only important government orders will be delivered to Guanyang by horse from the state capital. Did you see clearly what kind of yamen clothes he is wearing?"
Lu Xu shook his head.
The rain was too heavy and he didn't pay attention.
Just remember to watch the horses.
Yan Junqi: "It doesn't matter. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, you will know it soon."
It rained heavily again the next day.
It also rained heavily on the third day.
It seemed that all the rain owed from the spring flood to the summer harvest had been made up, and even the boats could not operate. Lu Xu was forced to be trapped at home, unable to do business, but still not allowed to rest.
The rain was too heavy, and it was necessary to prevent floods and protect seedlings. Lu Xu asked Lu Zhou to look after his younger brothers and sisters, put on his raincoat, and went to the field with Yuan Manniang to check the vegetable seedlings.
All the adults in the village dug ditches in the fields to release water in the rain to prevent the seedlings from rotting due to the accumulation of water in the fields.
The wild fields of Lu Xu's family and third aunt's family were next to each other. They rushed there, but Lu Hui was the only one in the field. Third uncle and third aunt took Xiao Xia and were busy releasing water in the fertile fields.
The wasteland is next to the hillside. The land is barren and the terrain is slightly higher. It is difficult to irrigate. We can only grow some drought-tolerant beans and millet. Fortunately, it is not easy to accumulate water.
It was still raining and the road was getting harder and harder to walk. Lu Xu asked Yuan Maniang and Lu Hui to go back first while he checked all the fields of both families.
When Lu Xu came back, he saw Yuan Maniang's eyes were red when she entered the house, and Yan Junqi and Yan's mother were also there.
"What's going on here?"
Yuan Manniang shook her head.
Lu Zhou's face turned red, he didn't know whether he was angry or suppressed, "Huang Hu bullied my mother!"
Lu Xu understood it as soon as he heard it.
Lujia Village has the most people surnamed Lu, followed by those surnamed Huang. It's just that the Huang family has never been as united as the Lu family and has not become popular in the village. Huang Hu has been cheating and cheating since he was a child. When he grew up, he ruined the family by eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He couldn't get a wife, and even molested his sister-in-law. After committing suicide, his parents had no choice but to separate the family.
After the family was separated, Huang Hu continued to eat, drink, whore, and gamble. When the family was ruined, he relied on his parents to replenish his fortune secretly. At the beginning of the year, he was chased home due to gambling debts. He hid outside for a while, and later went to work as a corvee with the villagers, which was considered a peace of mind. for a while.
Today, all the adults in the village were busy in the fields, and there was no one in the village. Huang Hu was wandering around the village, and maybe he happened to see Yuan Maniang.
Yan's mother: "Your mother came back from the fields alone. Lu Zhou heard your mother shouting and went out to pick her up. He saw Huang Hu chasing your mother."
Lu Zhou: "He chased my mother and even dragged her!"
Yan Junqi whispered: "Lu Zhou ran to pull someone away, but was kicked by Huang Hu. I happened to be reading by the window when I heard Lu Zhou crying and chased me out. Huang Hu saw me and my mother coming out, so he was scared and ran away."
Lu Zhouxiao might not understand what Huang Hu was going to do, and just thought it was Huang Hu who wanted to hit someone, but Lu Xu understood it, and he suddenly became angry.
Seeing that he was about to get angry, Yan Junqi whispered: "Auntie's coat was only torn up, so she didn't suffer any loss."
Lu Xu nodded, "Aunt, Jun Qi, thank you very much. Aunt, please take care of my mother."
He pulled Lu Zhou over and saw footprints on his clothes, and asked Lu Zhou, "Does it hurt?"
Lu Zhou shook his head.
Lu Xu: "Did you see where Huang Hu went?"
Lu Zhou: "In the fields."
Lu Xu: "Okay, I understand, you stay with mother."
Yan's mother saw that Lu Xu had gone out without even wearing a raincoat. She quickly looked over and saw that Lu Xu had taken a stick from the door. She quickly called to Yan Junqi: "Junqi, come and have a look together, hold Lu Xu for a while!"
"I know."
Yan Junqi held an umbrella and chased him out. Lu Zhou thought about it and ran out.
La Yue wanted to chase her, but Yan's mother grabbed her.
Yan Junqi pulled Lu Zhou to catch up with Lu Xu, "Don't be impulsive."
Lu Xu: "I know."
Yan Junqi gave the umbrella to Lu Zhou and asked for the stick in his hand, "Auntie is fine. If you hurt Huang Hu and kill him, it will be bad for her!"
Lu Xu loosened the stick, but became even more angry: "I won't kill him, but I will let him have a long memory!"
Yan Junqi no longer stopped: "Of course."
Lu Xu strode angrily towards the fields. Passing by the fields of his third and fourth uncles, he asked Lu Hui and Lu Xuan: "Have you seen the yellow tiger?"
"What happened in his field?"
Lu Zhou: "Huang Hu beat my mother."
When Lu Hui and Lu Xuan heard this, they were startled for a moment, and then they became angry. They came out of the field with hoes and followed Lu Xu to the Huang family field.
Seeing that the three of them were furious, the other cousins in the Lu family also came up to ask. After hearing this, they also caught up and followed Lu Xu.
Walking into the Huang family field, Lu Xu was already followed by more than a dozen clan brothers.
A member of the Huang family asked: "Xuwa, what are you doing?"
Lu Xu: "Where is Huang Hu?"
He pointed toward the fields.
Huang Hu was fooling around in the field, while his parents were digging a ditch at the other end.
Lu Xu didn't say anything, jumped into the field and walked straight to Huang Hu.
In the rain curtain, many people saw someone coming, but they didn't know what they were going to do, so they stopped and looked here. Brother Huang Hu called him loudly, and Huang Hu slowly turned back. As soon as he turned back, Lu Xu had already walked to him, raised his hand and knocked Huang Hu down with a punch.
Even though he had the nerve to call him Huang Hu, he was just a gecko at most. Compared with Qiu Hu, his character, personality, and strength were completely different.
Huang Hu's eyes flashed with stars as he fell into the mud with a pop, crushing a patch of green seedlings.
"Bah, Lu Xu! What the hell are you—" Huang Hu covered his face and spat out a mouthful of mud. Just as he was about to get up, Lu Xu stepped on his head and pushed him into the mud again.
Huang Hu's brother and sister-in-law were dumbfounded. His mother screamed, threw the hoe and ran this way, "What are you doing! Killing!"
As if Lu Xu didn't hear it, he waited patiently for Huang Hu to climb up, then stepped on it, and waited for him to climb up again and stepped on it again. Huang Hu's whole body was covered with mud, so he picked up his pants and squatted down, pressing his knees. Huang Hu grabbed his hair from behind and warned: "If you dare to come within ten meters of my mother or sister from now on, I will break your legs. If you dare to look at them, I will dig out your dog eyes!"
Huang Hu Niang staggered over and was supported by Huang Hu's sister-in-law to prevent him from getting closer.
Father Huang Hu ran over in two slow steps, "Xuwa, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
Lu Xu: "I'm done."
He pulled Huang Hu's hair, "Did you hear what I said clearly?"
Huang Hu screamed, "Mom, help me!"
Lu Xu pushed his face heavily into the mud.
Huang Hu's mother screamed again, "Li Zheng! Lu Xu killed someone!"
Lu Xu turned a deaf ear and pulled out Huang Hu's head, "I ask you again, did you hear me clearly?"
Huang Hu: "I heard you clearly..."
Lu Xu pushed his face into the mud, sighed, and stood up.
Huang Huniang threw away her daughter-in-law and ran over to pull her out of the mud, "My son!"
Seeing Huang Hu's nose full of blood, which was both blood and mud, she became furious, got up and bumped into Lu Xu, "Why do you beat my son!"
Lu Xu held her down and said, "Auntie, why don't you ask me why I hit him? Take a good look at your son, he is spoiled by you!"
He threw away his hand, and Huang Huniang also sat down on the ground.
She was stunned, grabbed a handful of mud, sat on the ground and cried.
No one in the Huang family moved.
Lu Xu frowned, and Yan Junqi came down and pulled her up.
Huang Huniang grabbed Yan Junqi's sleeve like a life-saving straw, "Shu Lang, you judge! You judge me!"
Yan Junqi: "Okay, ma'am, I'll speak slowly."
He comforted Huang Hu Niang and said loudly: "Huang Hu innocently injured Lu Xu's mother and younger brother. Lu Xu avenged his mother as a filial piety, vented his anger on his brother's behalf, and as a brother-in-law. Even though the law does not allow people to fight privately, things happened for a reason. Lu Xu What he did was out of filial piety and brotherhood. Our dynasty governs the world with filial piety and brotherhood, saying that fathers are kind and sons are filial, and brothers, friends and brothers are respectful. Although his actions were harsh, they were justified. Huang Hu apologized to brother Lu Xu, and Lu Xu accepted the gift on behalf of his mother. It’s all settled.”
Huang's mother was confused after hearing this, "Huh?"
Yan Junqi: "As long as Huang Hu apologizes and the Lu brothers stop caring, they understand."
Huang's mother was excited: "He beat my son! He beat my son! Everyone saw it, so many people saw it!"
Many people who came to watch the fun couldn't help but say: "Why are you beating him? Why don't you hit others!" "That's it, what does your Huang Hu do on weekdays? Bah, he deserves to be beaten!"
Huang Hu and his mother cried loudly, "Why?!"
Huang Hu: "I don't care about her!"
After hearing this, Lu Xu wanted to beat someone up again. Not only him, but others were also furious, especially those in the family who had been verbally taken advantage of by Huang Hu. They immediately wanted to roll up their sleeves and beat him up.
Lu Zhou bent down and picked up a handful of mud, threw it towards Huang Hu, and hit him in the face.
Huang Hu touched his face, grabbed the mud and wanted to throw it at Lu Zhou: "Baby, wait for me -"
Lu Hui quickly blocked Lu Zhou behind him with quick eyesight and hands.
Lu Xu kicked Huang Hu down: "Who are you scolding? I'm waiting here, what do you want!"
Yan Junqi quickly grabbed Lu Xu, signaled everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Huang Hu made rude remarks, Lu Xu teaches his brother a lesson, and then we settle the matter."
Huang’s mother: “Why are we so clear?”
Yan Junqi: "He made the rude remarks first."
Everyone: "Hit him lightly!"
Yan Junqi: "Now that the two sides have been cleared. According to the laws of our court, if someone continues to cause trouble and fight in private without any reason, he will be taken to the Yamen for questioning. Madam, our court strictly prohibits fighting in private, especially now during the war. If it were not Lu Xu Gu Nian went on a blind date easily, so he did not come to warn him, but reported him to the Yamen. Following Huang Hu's usual method, as long as a victim is willing to report him, he will be whipped fifty times at the least, and banished to the army at the worst."
Huang's mother's face turned pale with fright: "Consigned to the army?"
Yan Junqi: "Exactly, and he is a vanguard who is willing to die."
Huang's mother's knees softened and she fell to the ground with a plop.
Huang Hu shook his legs, "You, don't scare my mother!"
Yan Junqi said solemnly: "You can go and find out."
Li Zheng pinched his beard and said loudly: "Yan Shulang is right. I prohibit private fights. You usually quarrel and fight. I think you are young and ignorant because you don't understand poetry and books. You just scold and scold. If you ask someone to report it to the Yamen, Everyone will be whipped and slapped! Fighting and causing trouble is a severe punishment. If not, you may be sent to the army and sent to the army!"
At this time, everyone was frightened and looked at Li Zheng in a daze.
Li Zheng earnestly gave a warning to the energetic and trouble-making thorns at the head of the field, "Okay, it's almost dark, do what you need to do quickly! Huang Hu gets up and helps your parents tend the seedlings, Lu Xu, You also take your brother home!"
Lu Xu and Lu Zhou were also frightened. No one entered the village. They asked Yan Junqi: "Do you really want to be sent to the army?"
Lu Zhou: "Brother, let's report him and have him join the army!"
Yan Junqi smiled, "There is such a law, but it must be a serious crime. For Huang Hu, the most he can do is get two slaps and pay a fine. Let him get a painless beating and keep grudges against you, so it's better to scare him He doesn’t dare to cause trouble again.”
Lu Xu: "Huh, let me lend him some courage."
Yan Junqi disagreed: "You must not dare to be with him, but you are always doing business in the county. My aunt is a female, and Lu Zhou and the others are still young. How can we guard against thieves every day?"
Lu Xu lowered his head and said dejectedly: "You are right."
Yan Junqi comforted him: "But Huang Hu is a bully and fears the strong. If you beat him this time, he will definitely not dare to approach Auntie and the others again. I'm just scaring him again, just in case."
Lu Xu: "Well, you are right, or you are thoughtful."
Lu Zhou also looked at Yan Junqi with admiration, "Brother Junqi, are these all taught in books?"
Yan Junqi nodded.
Lu Zhou said infatuatedly: "It's so amazing. Brother Jun Qi is so amazing, and so is my brother."
He looked at his little fists. His fists were not as good as Lu Xu's, and his intelligence was not as good as Yan Junqi's. His eyes darkened. He had always relied on his brother for protection. When would he be able to protect others?
Lu Xu put his big hand on his head, combing his hair that was wet by the rain. "You are still a child, what are you thinking about?" Lu Xu picked him up and squeezed the flesh on his arms and legs, "Okay. You’ve got a little bit of meat, but you didn’t feed it for nothing. You performed well today and your throws are pretty accurate. You eat well. Grow taller. When you grow up, I’ll teach you how to fight and beat three yellow tigers with one punch!”
Yan Junqi laughed and stood on the other side of him, raising the umbrella above the heads of Lu Xu and Lu Zhou. The three of them crowded under an umbrella and walked back slowly.
Continuous rain blocked the road, and a small storm in Lujia Village was resolved. Lu Xu didn't know yet that a bigger storm was breaking out in the county.
