"Don't run."
A little girl who looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old pointed forward and shouted.
In front of it were three boys of the same age, but they looked embarrassed, their hands and feet were injured, and their noses and eyes were beaten blue. They kept turning their backs to the little girl, without turning their heads. Dare to reply.
One boy said "violent woman" a little harshly, but he kept running forward.
In the past, the little girl would grab him and beat him up, but this time she didn't do that. She sat on the steps under the eaves with lonely eyes, pouting, and punched him hard on the side. On the stairs, she actually broke it directly. Seeing a scene that would horrify ordinary people, she was not happy at all. She held her little head with both hands and was alone in a daze.
After a while, she was finally moved. Her eyes, as clear as morning dew, shed two tears. She suppressed her emotions and said to herself, "Who wants to play with you?"
…
Zhang Ling and his two were brought back to the village by a group of bandits. They originally wanted to find an excuse to leave, but now they are here. Now that they have arrived, they should make peace with it. After all, they are still injured and it is not appropriate to continue on their way.
But when he saw the true appearance of Qingfeng Village, he was stunned. Is this a bandit's den? It should be a refugee camp!
Not only were the houses shabby, but there were also two collapsed houses that were piled up like this with no one to clean them up. In addition, the plain wooden railings and some wooden furniture in front of many houses were broken, and it looked like they were broken. It's not like it was rotten by maggots, but it was considered destruction.
Faced with such an unexpected copycat, Zhang Ling said tactfully: "Brother Hou, is our Qingfeng Village originally a Qingfeng village, or has it been robbed?"
Hou Liu stepped forward and sighed: "Oh! Xu Ying, let's forget it. I'll take you to your residence first. Even though our Qingfeng Village is a bit poor on the surface, it's still a good idea to give you a room that you can live in." some."
After three steps, you can see women doing laundry and men chopping wood, each busy with their work. Even the old man is not idle at all, carefully tending the vegetables in the vegetable garden. They are not a group of bandits, they are different from ordinary people. What's the difference?
Then, Zhang Ling saw three children running to their elders, crying loudly. At first glance, they all had bruises and swollen faces. Hou Liu sighed: "Is it Xu Ying again?"
The woman looked at her child with a feeling of heartache. She looked at Hou Liu and said rudely: "Master, look, these are all done by Xu Ying. A girl with so much strength is still fighting with others. What is a girl supposed to be like? I've said before that she shouldn't be brought to the village, it's a complete disaster."
Faced with the woman's blunt words, Hou Liu did not get angry. Instead, he kept comforting them and said, "Don't worry, I will talk to her again later, and I won't let her do these things again."
The children and their respective elders were silent. Even if the head of the family asked the "violent woman" to preach again, it would definitely not work, but after all, he was the head of the family, so he still had to be careful about what he said.
Then Hou Liu took Zhang Ling and two others to a house. Although the various furniture and items were simple, they were relatively neat.
Hou Liu looked at Zhang Ling and said, "You two will live here from now on. You guys should get familiar with it first. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll go and get busy first."
Zhang Ling nodded and watched Hou Liu go away before closing the door and lying on the couch.
Song Linjie stopped pretending to be stupid and asked, "Why do we come to the village? Can't we just leave?"
Zhang Ling sat up and explained: "I was injured, so it's not a good time to travel now. Besides, we didn't bring anything with us when we ran. If we don't find the inn, we may starve to death."
Song Linjie said angrily: "Then why do you insist on calling me a fool and change my name to Er Fool? Why don't you change it?"
Zhang Ling stood up and said with a smile: "If you don't say that, how can you impress these bandits? As for changing your name to Er Sha..."
Zhang Ling whistled, moved slowly, opened the door, and once it was closed, he rubbed oil on the soles of his feet. Song Linjie looked at Zhang Ling, not too angry, because he had long been accustomed to it.
When the wooden stake was broken, she found a replacement herself. When the barrel was broken, she found something to patch it up. As for the other things she didn't know how to do, she didn't ask anyone for help. She quietly tried her best to make up for it without making a sound. sound.
At this moment, she was repairing a hoe. As she went back and forth, the wooden handle broke again and again. It could not be installed, so she broke it angrily, leaving only the last one. She picked it up carefully, and when she was about to assemble it, one hand Just a hoe and a wooden handle, and after a little tinkering, it was ready.
He handed it back to her and joked: "If a girl has such a bad temper, no boy will dare to marry you in the future!"
She glanced at him and said angrily like a child: "If no one wants it, no one wants it. Anyway, it's just me since I was born."
He sat on the steps with her and chuckled: "Your name is Xu Ying, right? They said you are very strong."
Xu Ying glanced, turned her head, and said in a low voice: "Are you here to laugh at me too?"
He shook his head and said seriously: "Scoffing? This kind of natural power is something that many people can't ask for. The reason why you despise it so much is that you don't know how to master it yet. Only when you learn how to master it Only with your own strength can you be accepted and even admired by others. How about we have a fight? Of course, as long as you don’t think I’m bullying the younger ones.”
Xu Ying looked at him, seemingly unexpectedly happy, and asked, "Are you sure?"
He nodded, stood up, stretched out his left hand, and said with a smile: "Fight with all your strength."
Xu Ying left the steps and gently waved her soft fist. It looked weak and weak, and she slowly swung it towards him. He stretched out his hand filled with zhenqi to resist, and hit him with his soft fist. The palm of his hand actually forced him to take two steps back.
He looked at Xu Ying in shock, but it was not unexpected at all. Xu Ying turned up the bridge of her nose and said with a proud smile: "How about it? If I weren't afraid of hurting you, I wouldn't have used all my strength."
He returned to normal, took a slight step forward, and said with a slight smile: "Try again."
Xu Ying punched again unceremoniously, but this time he still didn't use his full strength. Just when the fist with hidden divine power was about to touch his body, he stretched out a hand, wandered up Xu Ying's arm, and suddenly grabbed her Xu Ying couldn't break free no matter how hard she tried.
He let go of Xu Ying's hand and staggered, forcing her to fall down unable to stand. She did not cry like other children. She stood up and punched out with all her strength. He smiled lightly, and Xu Ying's fists were either dodged by him. , or by using a force-relieving method, so that even though she had divine power, she could not use it. However, his feet never moved an inch. He stretched out his hands and immediately completely restrained Xu Ying. Even with her divine power, she could not do anything. .
He let go of Xu Ying again, stood still and said with a smile, "How is it? Do you want to learn?"
