"Everyone, I've said it before, how can he be so weird as a young and innocent kid? I think the way you arranged my family is really weird!"
Xuanshi responded with a straight face and a firm tone.
At this time, Xiao Dizi was helping her husband repair the house in the school. When he saw his sister Xiaohua running towards him crying, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask what happened at home. After hearing the whole story, he dropped his tools and ran home.
Zhang Kuanren, who was supervising the work, saw this and hurriedly signaled Zhang Xiaoyu and others to hold Xiao Mizi, and said: "Zhang Xuan, this matter must be handled calmly, don't be anxious. I will accompany you back and persuade those people to let They must not make waves without wind."
Zhang Xiaoyu heard this and said with wide eyes: "Uncle, we will go with you. If those guys don't know how to show appreciation, we will beat the hell out of them!"
"Bah!" Zhang Kuanren shouted, "This matter must not be acted out of anger. It is better to resolve it calmly."
After that, he walked in front with square steps, Xiao Mizi, Zhang Xiaoyu and others followed closely behind him.
When he arrived at Xiao Sizi's house, he saw everyone arguing with the Xiao family. Zhang Kuanren coughed loudly, then stopped and looked at them intently.
When everyone saw Zhang Kuanren coming, they stopped arguing with Xiao and turned to look at him.
People in the village have always had the habit of respecting teachers, and Zhang Kuanren is knowledgeable and sensible. Now that he is here, the villagers want him to comment on the truth.
Someone came forward and said, "Mr. Da, tell me, Xiao Mizi caused mischief in the village and angered the gods, causing the earth to shake and the houses to collapse. Should we continue to accommodate such a plague god?"
Zhang Kuanren coughed again and said: "Everyone, we scholars never talk about strange powers and gods, because they are all lies and nonsense and cannot be taken seriously. As for why the earth moves, I know better than you. , it is recorded in the literature that this is a natural phenomenon, not caused by gods, and Zhang Xuan does not have that kind of ability. A child from a poor family can read for several years and recognize some words, that is his greatest ability. Who can If you say he has extraordinary abilities, I definitely don’t believe him!”
After hearing these words, the man was very unconvinced. He rubbed his neck and said: "Mr. Da, you have always protected him, so of course you speak for him. Don't think that we don't know. In fact, we have all heard about it. Do you want to Xiao Yanzi trained him to be your successor, and even invited him to drink and dine at home. You are a scholar, and we hope that you will be fair and not deliberately biased towards anyone."
Seeing how stubborn they were, Zhang Kuanren continued: "Everyone, you are right. Zhang Xuan is indeed my proud disciple, and I did treat him to a drink. But even so, if he makes a mistake, I will He will still be punished. The problem is that this earthquake incident really has nothing to do with him. You can't make false accusations on others for no reason. They are all fellow villagers, why do you have to put such a big shit basin on their heads? The house is broken. , if the house is broken, repair it and buy some, why don’t we still live the same life? This is not a big deal in the first place, but do you think this is the right thing to do?”
"Mr. Da, you are talking about losses, but we are talking about cause and effect. These are completely different things." Someone argued, "It was precisely because of Xiao Mizi's mischief that this earthquake occurred. For many years, there has never been an earthquake in the village. There has never been an earthquake when people caused trouble. But when someone causes trouble, earthquakes come. Isn't it an obvious cause and effect?"
"You said Zhang Xuan was causing trouble, so what exactly was he doing?" Zhang Kuanren asked when he saw that everyone was dissatisfied.
"Look, Mr. Da!" someone pointed at Xiao Mizi and said, "He used to be rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and looked completely stupid. But when he acted mischievously in private, he became thin-skinned and tender-skinned. According to you scholars, it is called Yushu Lin or Linfeng. Also, he claimed to be some kind of Gua Immortal, which made all the Gua Masters in the city come to compete with him, but he just won. Mr. Da , tell me, if this is not a mischief, what is it?"
At this moment, Lian Xin stepped forward and said slowly: "This is not the only mischief that Xiao Mizi caused. The half of a rusty iron lump in his pocket is also a mischief, and everyone can do it. Don’t dare to take it, except for himself. Brother Kuan, if you don’t believe it, go up and get it and try it.”
Zhang Kuanren was dumbfounded by what those people said, and was speechless for a moment, because he really couldn't explain the first two things. As for what Lian Xin said, he could give it a try.
So, after Lian Xin's words fell, he immediately came to Xiao Mizi and reached out to pick up the broken sword.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his fingers touched the broken sword, he felt numb all over his body and had to quickly retract his outstretched hand.
"How's it going, Brother Kuan, do you feel how weird it is now?" Lian Xin said, squinting at Zhang Kuanren and walking around him in circles.
Zhang Kuanren glanced at Lian Xin, then looked at Xiao Lizi, and asked: "Zhang Xuan, what on earth is going on?"
Xiao Jizi frowned and said, "Sir, I dug this out of a cave. I don't know what happened to it."
Hearing this, those people seemed to have caught Xiao Lizi's hand, and each of them became more and more confident.
One of them said: "Mr. Da, we have been talking for a long time. You didn't believe it before, but now you are convinced? This piece of iron should be something buried by the gods to suppress the earth monsters, but Xiao Mizi You can easily dig it out and play with it yourself. How can the gods not be angry? How can the earth demon not attack? It is this restless boy who has destroyed the peace of our side. He has caused us such a big loss, even if we tolerate it God will never tolerate him!"
"Yes, he is the god of plague who brings harm to the whole party. We must get out of here quickly, otherwise we will kill him!"
Seeing everyone turning murderous towards Xiao Mizi, Zhang Kuanren knew that the matter was irreversible, so he had no choice but to say: "Everyone, please calm down and let me say a few words. It's Zhang Xuan's fault for irritating you, but you guys Don't be so impulsive. How about this? You give him three days so that he can prepare calmly before leaving. How about that?"
After everyone discussed for a while, a representative came out and said: "Well, we will listen to Mr. Da. If we see him again in the village in three days, we will definitely beat him to death!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Kuanren immediately cupped his fists and saluted.
Everyone chatted angrily for a while, then walked away cursing.
Xiao Dizi's family, on the other hand, was on the verge of crying. They all stood blankly, their faces so gloomy that they were almost dripping with water.
For them, such a blow is worse than an earthquake.
"Mr. Big——"
After a long time, Mrs. Xiao finally opened her mouth and wanted to say something to Zhang Kuanren.
"Daniu family, the matter is over, don't say anything else." Zhang Kuanren sighed and said, "You know, those people are not good people, they can do anything, so we should let Zhang Xuan go out to avoid the limelight first. Bar."
"Mr. Da, where can the child go when he is so young?" Mrs. Xiao choked and said, "Daniu's ghost is still here. If I follow the child, there will be no one left to burn paper money for Daniel. .”
"What I mean is that Zhang Xuan will leave on his own and you and Xiaohua will stay here." Zhang Kuanren said, "If you all leave, the roots of this family will no longer exist. I believe that Zhang Xuan will have great achievements in the future. Your roots will definitely be passed down forever!”
"But, Mr. Da, the child is only fourteen or fifteen years old. He needs adults to take care of him even for food and water. Even if he has a place to go, he won't be able to survive well. What's more, he doesn't even have a place to go. Can't he go begging on the street?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao almost burst into tears.
The child is her mother's heart. No matter how naughty or annoying she is, Mrs. Xiao would still like her to stay by her side. Once they are separated, and there is no destination, Mrs. Xiao will not be able to help but feel heartbroken.
Xiaohua also cried, her clothes wet with sad tears.
Xiao Mizi stood beside them blankly, like a lifeless dead person.
