"Dad!" Fu Yunge shouted eagerly.
The leader of the big man was furious and gritted his teeth.
He sneered and strode towards his father, the iron rod in his hand was frighteningly black: "I'm... calling you mother!"
As he spoke, he raised the big stick and swung it towards his father's hairy head!
"Stop it!"
Soon enough, a figure rushed to push the old man away just before the big stick was about to fall.
Fu Yunge then quickly turned around and kicked the big man right in the abdomen. When the big man felt a sharp pain, his thick body flew backwards and fell heavily in the yard with a "boom".
When he got up in disgrace and went to touch the iron rod again, he found that the thing had already fallen into the hands of the boy who had just kicked him away.
Dad was so frightened that his face turned pale. He was stunned for a while and then tremblingly touched the top of his head to make sure that he had not been shot...
Fu Yunge stood in front of the court with an annoyed look on his face, using his body to protect his father, lightly tapping the iron rod in his hand, and glaring coldly at the several big men in the yard, like an angry lion: "You guys, are you alive?" Are you tired of it?!"
When the big men saw that their boss was knocked down so easily, their original momentum weakened a lot. They couldn't help but collectively took a step back, clenching the weapons in their hands, fearing that this young man would be the next target of their anger.
"Get out!" Fu Yunge shouted.
The big men hesitated and made eye contact. After confirming that they would not get any advantage here today, they slowly retreated to the door, then turned around and ran away quickly.
The big man who had been kicked staggered behind him. Fu Yunge glanced at him a few more times, his eyes unpredictable.
The servants in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief. After throwing away their weapons, they all collapsed on the ground in fear. Obviously they also know the consequences of Fu Yunge not coming. I am afraid that the Yu family will be in a mess today.
"Send them into the house for treatment first." Fu Yunge pointed at the injured and bleeding servants in the hospital and ordered.
Several frightened servants ran out from the main room and went down to help the injured person to the back room. At this time, my mother and several family members slowly followed them out. Seeing Fu Yunge come back in time and drive away the villain, his face looked very happy.
"Yu'er, are you okay?" Mother came over and took Fu Yunge's hand and asked with concern.
Fu Yunge didn't care what he was called anymore. He shook his head and asked, "Where are these people from? Why do they come to the Yu family to cause trouble?"
"Hey, Yu'er, let's go into the house and say something." His mother pulled him towards the main room.
Fu Yunge hesitated for a moment, then looked around and heard no movement outside the door, then followed the others back to the main room.
There were several family members and servants in the house. When they saw that it was Fu Yunge who had returned, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the original tension subsided a lot.
Fu Yunge caught a glimpse of yesterday's "daughter-in-law" out of the corner of his eye, and felt a little thump in his heart.
Several servants brought him chairs respectfully as before, and a few brought him good tea from the Yu family. He waved his hands reluctantly, took the tea helplessly and sat down.
"Why did they come to Yu's house to beat people? What are the backgrounds of these people?" Fu Yunge decided to get straight to the point.
"...Well, actually we know very little about them."
Dad lowered his head and took a sip from his water pipe, his iron-tree-like brows knitted together: "That's it...yesterday afternoon, we received a threatening letter from them, asking the Yu family to give them half of the tea garden land deed for free. Otherwise, they will cause trouble. The signature of the letter is very strange, it is [Nine Characters]."
"Is that so..." Fu Yunge put his hand next to his chin and said thoughtfully: "Then the reason why they are causing trouble is because they are greedy for land deeds? I don't think it is that simple. It is more like they are here to deliberately destroy and scare everyone. , to establish a reputation.”
At this moment, there was a sudden "click", and the closed door of the main room was suddenly pushed open. The shoulders of Dad and everyone could not help but tremble slightly. The person who came in was none other than Dongfang Shiming who was waiting outside Yu's house.
There was another person dragging behind him, and upon closer inspection he looked familiar. It turned out to be the big man who was kicked away by Fu Yunge just now.
"Ah, it's you..." Dad's voice trembled with excitement.
"The footwork is still so precise." Dongfang Shiming looked at Fu Yunge with a crooked face and said with an amiable expression. But Dad and the others were quite surprised. Firstly, they were surprised that Dongfang Shiming would come to help the Yu family at this time. Secondly, they were surprised that the big man who had obviously escaped was now dragged away in such a mess that he looked like a dead dog. return.
"Hey, I originally wanted to save one for interrogation. The slow-onset severe pain in the Guanyuan and Taicang points in the abdomen is not pleasant. He should have run to you and knelt down on his own, right?" Fu Yunge said proudly. He raised his chin.
The corners of Dongfang Shiming's mouth turned up slightly, but he did not answer. Instead, he turned around and called on several servants who were watching to tie the big man to the pillar together. The big man's face was red at this moment, and he didn't know whether it was because of anger or pain, and his expression was horrifyingly distorted.
Fu Yunge took a look around the scene, guessing that he no longer had any responsibilities here, so he couldn't wait to jump up.
He patted Dongfang Shiming on the shoulder from behind and gave him a thumbs up: "Well, you are better at interrogation. I can't help you, so I just went out for a walk. Thank you for your hard work."
Dongfang Shiming turned his face to show a contemptuous expression, and shrugged helplessly in agreement. Fu Yunge smiled, quickly opened the door and walked out, heading straight towards the backyard.
Yu Rou was not seen in the house, she should still be in the backyard. Fu Yunge thought that he might not see her for a long time in the future, and now he felt more and more eager to say a few more words to her.
Bypassing several elegant lilac bushes in bud, I walked through the path with songs in the clouds all the way to the backyard. The backyard, which had not been disturbed by those big men, was still as clean and pleasant as usual. The flawless white magnolia flowers bloomed fragrantly on the bare black tree trunks. The early warblers could be heard singing softly and brightly deep in the woods behind the house.
Fu Yunge looked around the scenery in the backyard and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Everyone grows up one day, sooner or later.
Once people grow up, they must learn to make decisions and work hard for their future. And his decision was to leave this sheltered home that he had grown up with, and try to take a step towards the more distant sky.
He raised his head, looked at the clear blue sky at dawn, and took a long breath. The fresh air in the backyard made him feel very comfortable.
"Brother? You're back!"
The all-too-familiar voice sounded cordially behind Fu Yunge. He turned his head in surprise and joy, and quickly walked towards his sister Yu Rou, with a spring breeze on his face: "You got up so early, and you have already washed yourself? Isn't that what you usually do? Are you willing to get up until very late?"
The little girl in front of her was only about ten years old. She was wearing a white skirt embellished with floral flowers and had a spotless and delicate appearance. Although she still retains her childishness, she already possesses the temperament of a lady who is quiet yet smart.
"Dad, they are all dealing with terrible things up front, how can I possibly sleep on my own." Yu Rou pouted dissatisfied, and then said a little eagerly: "I want to go see if I can help. Busy, bro, do you want to come with me?"
Fu Yunge smiled and patted Yu Rou's head gently, and helped her straighten her messy hair: "It's okay now, and you can't help. Just leave those things to my brother and dad. Now, don’t worry about it.”
"How can that be done!" Yu Rou raised her head unconvinced, but then lowered her head quickly, "Dad is old, and brother, you are always unreliable."
She fiddled with the buttons on her clothes with her little hands and glanced at Fu Yunge from the corner of her eye: "Besides, brother, you came back so early today, you definitely didn't go home to admit your mistakes. You can't hide anything from me. oh."
Fu Yunge was a little choked. He thought about several versions of the lines, but he didn't expect that his sister was almost guessing his thoughts. This situation made him somewhat unable to speak.
Yu Rou slowly raised her head, stared at Fu Yunge's somewhat panicked eyes with wide eyes, and suddenly said: "Brother, can you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a servant running in from the alley in a hurry. He shouted to Fu Yunge from a distance: "Master Yu, I asked me to call you over. It seems that Master Dongfang has finished interrogating-" The voice It was as big as a huge bell, frightening many birds living in the forest.
"I'll go take a look." Fu Yunge was about to leave.
"I'll go too." Yu Rou grabbed his sleeve and trotted after him.
When the two returned to the front hall, Dongfang Shiming was sitting upright enjoying the snacks presented by several servants. When he saw that Fu Yunge was back, he coughed twice, put down the delicious food and stood up.
Fu Yunge looked at the dejected expression of the big man like a prodigal dog. His face was as gloomy as if it had been smeared with soot, and there was no trace of the hostility he had just now. He felt funny in his heart and was surprised at Dongfang Shiming's skill. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked Dongfang Shiming in a low voice: "How is it?"
Dongfang Shiming smiled: "There is still a farewell message left."
Fu Yunge understood what he meant, turned around and had the big man loosened. The big man collapsed on the ground with a plop, and kept shrinking towards the door.
"Next time, if you dare to come to the Yu family to cause trouble, don't think about going back intact like today." Fu Yunge's face darkened, and he yelled: "Get out!"
As if he had been granted amnesty, the big man nodded desperately, climbed open the door and fled Yu's house. Fu Yunge looked at his hastily escaping back, and his anger calmed down a little.
Seeing the big man staggering away from the Yu family gate, Fu Yunge turned back and asked Dongfang Shiming: "What useful things have been found in the trial?"
Dongfang Shiming smiled and pointed at the rising sun: "Some of them came out of the trial. I'll explain them to you on the way - it's getting late."
Fu Yunge remembered that he was going to visit the mysterious master today and it was absolutely unacceptable to be late. But when his eyes touched Yu Rou on the side, he felt a little reluctant to let go. But he also understood that he had to leave, and the Yu family was not that vulnerable.
Seeing this, Dongfang Shiming sighed with a wry smile, went over and patted him and said, "Well... I'd better wait for you outside. Hurry up." After that, he stepped out of the threshold and walked out. Leave Fu Yunge and his family to tell you a few words.
"Home...?" Dongfang Shiming lowered his head and muttered thoughtfully as he walked.
Outside the door, the sun is rising, the sky is blue and bright, and the bluestone road is getting warmer.
