Ye Changshan walked straight to his home. Before he entered the door, he saw smoke coming from the chimney. He opened the door and a burst of aroma hit his face. Ye Changshan followed the aroma to the kitchen and shouted to the room——
"mother!"
I saw a woman wearing simple clothes with sweat on her forehead saying——
"Hey! Changsha, are you back?"
Ye Changshan consciously walked up to help his mother, and never forgot to ask: "Where is dad?"
"Your father hasn't come back yet, I guess it's almost time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a long "squeak" sound from the door of his home, and a strong middle-aged man pushed the door open and entered.
"Dad!" Ye Changshan shouted in surprise.
Father Ye couldn't help but smile when he saw the mother and son acting like a loving mother and a filial son. Then, he pretended to be surprised and asked: "Changshan, look what dad is hunting today?"
The man shook his shoulders and dropped the things on his shoulders to the ground.
"Hey! Such a fat rabbit? There's more than one?"
"Yeah, I was lucky today. I hunted a few fat rabbits."
Ye Changshan was overjoyed. He hurried forward and together with his father took some fat rabbits to the center of the yard to tidy them up.
The father and son worked together to make a fat rabbit and then handed the meat to their mother. After a while, a bowl of fragrant rabbit meat was served. After a busy day, the family of three sat down together and enjoyed the table of delicious food.
Ye Changshan ate happily. At this time, he had no thoughts in his heart. With his father supporting him outside and his mother taking care of him inside, Ye Changshan even wanted to live like this for the rest of his life, without any worries or thoughts - -Happiness may be that simple.
After tea and dinner, Ye Changshan was about to help his mother clean up, when his father stopped him.
"Gongshang, daddy brought you something."
oh? His father always liked to bring him some interesting gadgets. Sometimes they were candy figures made in the town, sometimes they were birds he made out of straw, and sometimes they were newborn cats and dogs. They were always different. Many. I saw my father take out a book from his arms. The book had been squeezed a little and there were even faint traces of sweat at the foot of the page.
"Yes, dad had someone buy it from the town a few days ago."
Ye Changshan took the book and looked at it. It turned out to be the Thousand Character Classic.
"The Thousand Character Classic" is the basic reading material of the Central Plains. It is short and concise, condensing the most commonly used characters in the Central Plains and annotating them one by one. Although his father had asked him to take several lessons from a master in the village, this was the first time he had bought a book for himself. He couldn't help but feel a little touched. After all, it was a book that his father had to go through several times to get. He also suddenly understood what his father wanted him to do. Reading on your own is not just talk.
"Thank you dad!"
"Hey, let's go read a book while it's still a little bright."
After saying that, the father walked to the kitchen and helped his wife work.
...
...
The next day, Ye Changshan got up a little late.
Because he was a little excited and slept late last night, Ye Changshan actually had a book in his hand when he got up early. After washing up and having some breakfast, Ye Changshan went out.
Just as he reached the entrance of the village, Ye Changshan heard the voice of a young man.
"Hey! That boy in front of you, were you the one who bullied my sister yesterday?"
Ye Changshan was confused. When he looked back, it turned out that a young man in white clothes of similar age was standing there. The young man's brows were furrowed. He was kicking left and right like a weasel, as if he was looking for something.
Thinking of what happened yesterday, Ye Changshan guessed that this boy should be the little girl's brother. So he replied casually——
"Are you talking about the girl holding the puppy?"
When the young man heard this, he suddenly stared at Ye Changshan, as if he had finally found something——
Hurrah! You are the village bully who bullied my sister, right? I heard that Yiyi was bullied by a boy about my age! Look at this kid, he is about the same age as me. He also mentioned the girl holding the dog. Yes, she can’t run away. It must be this kid!
"Good boy! Don't leave, you dare to bully my young master's sister! Come on, come on! Let you have a taste of my power, young master, I am a practicing master!"
After saying that, the young man rolled up his sleeves and came towards Ye Changshan.
Ye Changshan was confused. how? Is there some misunderstanding? Or is the girl's story wrong? Without any time to think about it, he hurriedly explained: "What? No... Brother, you must have made a mistake..."
"What's wrong? Who is your brother!? Huh? Look at the size of your shoes, and I think the shoe prints on Huahua's body belong to you!"
"No, it's not..."
Not allowing Ye Changshan to explain, the boy in white rushed up and hugged him. Then one of the boy's feet hooked over, and then there was a sudden force on the boy's waist, obviously trying to knock him down.
But the young man said that he was practicing martial arts, but how come he had no routine when fighting?
Seeing this, Ye Changshan had no choice but to hug his waist. He felt the boy's hooked calf on the other side of his foot. He instinctively bent his knees and stood still. Two boys of the same age were holding each other like this. I held you there and stood there.
"Brother, please stop fighting! This is not what my brother is, and you made the wrong fight again!"
Just when Ye Changshan was entangled with the boy, the girl's anxious voice came over.
Hearing this, the young man in white said in surprise: "What? Not this? Stop, stop, stop! Don't move, let's stop together!"
Ye Changshan also stopped his strength when he heard the sound, and then the two let go of each other. After a while, I saw the little girl named Yiyi from yesterday running anxiously to the two of them.
"Brother! You didn't even listen to what I said before you came to seek revenge. This person is the little brother who helped me protect me yesterday!"
After saying that, he lightly hit the boy in white as if complaining.
The little girl's face was red again, as if it was redder than yesterday - but this time it was as if she was embarrassed.
After the beating, the little girl patted the dust on the boy in white with distress, as if she cared about her brother very much.
The expression on the face of the young man in white was extremely wonderful. He first stared at Ye Changshan, then narrowed his eyes to a slit. At the end, the boy's face suddenly turned red, but he immediately returned to normal.
Shame on you! What a shame! I originally came here to help my sister recover the place, but the floods rushed into the Dragon King Temple and almost beat up my benefactor. It was shameful, really shameful!
However, the young man in white is very adaptable. He immediately put on a smiling face, then raised his hand and patted Ye Changshan's shoulder hard, showing approval and admiration, saying -
"Ah? Hahaha, it turns out he is Yiyi's benefactor! Hey! Let me just say, your martial arts skills are comparable to mine. How can you protect my Yiyi family without this martial arts skills? I just wanted to test you, hahaha... ..."
Martial arts? Two children holding each other in circles is also called martial arts?
Ye Changshan couldn't help but feel ashamed after hearing this. He turned to look at the little girl named Yiyi with confusion.
And Yiyi's face seemed to be even redder, like a ripe fruit on the mountain——
Come to think of it, how can you not be embarrassed to have such a thick-skinned brother?
While they were talking, five or six children walked up from a distance. They looked about eleven or twelve years old. If you look carefully, isn't the little fat guy at the head the same Wang Liu'er from yesterday?
"The disaster star named Ye! You are here. I have been looking for you so hard! No, this is the kid who punched me yesterday."
After that, the group of children behind him walked up.
"Brother, let's go quickly, there are so many of them!" Yiyi said in a panic when she saw that there were so many others.
"What? Let's go? Isn't that running away? These are the people who bullied you yesterday, right? Humph! Look at me venting your anger for you."
After that, Yiyi's brother turned to Ye Changshan and said, "Brother, let me show you how I deal with them!"
Ye Changshan couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart. You want to punish someone even with your three-legged cat moves?
The young man in white clothes who was called brother by Yiyi strode forward and rushed towards the boy who was leading the group. Seeing that they were about to collide with each other, he suddenly bent forward to hug the boy's waist.
Why do you do it all this time? It doesn't seem to be working yet? If you continue like this, you will be beaten! Ye Changshan was dumbfounded. He had seen people die, but never seen someone die so confidently.
The boy who was hugged had never seen such a move before. He staggered when he was hugged by the boy in white. In panic, he stretched out his hand to hold him, and the two fell to the ground. After a while, the two of them rolled on the ground like glutinous rice cakes stuck together, and the boy's white clothes were covered with mud and dust.
Wang Liuer and his friends were also stunned. What kind of song was this? After so many fights, I have never seen them hug each other and roll around. After being stunned for a while, Wang Liuer finally came back to his senses and shouted——
"Go together!"
With this order, the situation immediately became clear. The two people who were entangled just now were immediately separated, and the situation changed from an entanglement to a group fight.
Yiyi was so anxious that she almost cried. At first glance, Ye Changshan found out that nothing was wrong. Although the ignorant child was not strong enough, he still beat him with all his strength.
He looked around, took two one-foot-long wooden sticks from a short distance away, and rushed over. One wooden stick hit Wang Liuer on the body——
"ah--"
Wang Liuer cried out in pain.
The other children stopped fisting their fists. Taking advantage of the gap between shouting, Ye Changshan helped the boy in white, handed him a wooden stick in his hand, and immediately leaned against him, waving the wooden stick in his hand to signal Wang Liuer and the others not to come forward.
This trick was taught to him by his father. If two people encounter a pack of wolves while hunting in the mountains, they should immediately stand back to back. Whether they are holding a wooden stick or a crossbow in their hands, they must wave towards the wolves. The wolf is cunning and knows that the weak point of the prey is on its back. The wolf is also very cautious and will not rush towards the prey without knowing its strength. Ye Changshan somehow remembered this method and used it. Therefore, every time Wang Liu'er and the others wanted to get closer, Ye Changshan and the others would wave their wooden sticks, and Wang Liu'er and the others did not dare to move forward.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time. When Ye Changshan was thinking about how to make the next move, the boy in white--to be precise, the boy in gray now-- seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment of being beaten up just now. He seemed to be sure that the other party was afraid of him. Like a stick in his hand, he suddenly shouted "Hit——!"
Before Ye Changshan even understood what was happening, he saw a gray shadow rushing over. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but be shocked.
God! This... isn't this jumping into a pit with your comrades? It really makes people speechless. It is rare for someone to be so reckless. But at this time, besides going with him, is there any other way? In desperation, without stopping, following his pace, the two of them rushed towards the 'enemy' waving their sticks.
Wang Liuer and others were also frozen for a long time before they came back to their senses. They saw two sticks waving in front of their eyes. They hurriedly used their hands to block them. They were hit hard several times by the sticks. They suddenly lost their bearings and didn't care. Call back.
After a while, Wang Liuer and others were beaten so hard that they ran away without a trace.
Seeing that the 'enemies' were all driven away, the young man in gray clothes was very proud. He said literally: "Hahaha, it's nothing more than bullying a small number with a large number. Well, there is a saying in the art of war, 'Don't chase the enemy when you are poor', let them go!" "
Seeing her brother in such a mess, Yiyi ran over anxiously with red eyes and asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I drove them away without looking at your brother? Who dares to bully you?"
There was a lot of confidence in his tone, not like he was holding back just now.
After a while, the young man turned to Ye Changshan and said: "Brother, you helped my brother and sister twice yesterday and today. I must thank you very much! Let's go and stay in the inn not far ahead. Go inside and I'll thank you again."
Ye Changshan wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, he was dragged forward by the young man in white, so he stopped pushing away.
