Chapter 17 Make a bet
From a reasonable point of view, Xie Yuan could accept the punishment and get beaten, but that didn't mean she could tolerate Shen Liuzhen's accusation against her.

After routinely hugging the pillar and hitting the board, Xie Yuan grabbed his pants, limping and jumping all the way to Shen's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he happened to meet Shen's father admonishing and checking the accounts with the maids and women at home.

Shen Liuzhen stood on the side with his hands down, his mind wandering.

Seeing Shen Liuzhen's harmless and pitiful appearance, Xie Yuan was furious.He rolled his eyes and shouted directly:

"Master, I was wronged, you have to decide for me!"

Upon hearing this, Father Shen smiled and closed the account book in his hand, and threw it directly to Shen Liuzhen who was dazed aside.

The ledger fell on Shen Liuzhen's body, and he woke up. While bending over to pick it up, he looked warily at the aggressive Xie Yuan.

"You go out first."

After listening to Shen's father's order, the maids and mother-in-law all retreated, and there was also Shen Liuzhen who was about to get away with it.

Seeing this, Xie Yuan pointed to Shen Liuzhen who had slipped to the door and said:

"Master, as soon as I entered the house today, Liu Zhen sued my father, accusing me of stealing other people's mulberries!"

Father Shen was stunned, and cursed for a long time: "Fart! He dares to frame him now! Shen Liuzhen, get out of here!"

Shen Liuzhen turned around slowly, and said righteously: "I didn't make a false accusation. The teacher explained the truth very clearly about this matter. She also accepted the punishment. If you don't believe me, you can ask the teacher."

Father Shen stood up from his chair angrily, and said, "What's the point? Why didn't I see him stealing mulberries? You saw it in a dream!"

Shen Liuzhen stared at his father, too lazy to speak.

Xie Yuan explained: "When I was riding on a horse, I got enough of someone's leaves. He said that I stole things, and my father said that I can't even make leaves. I have to be cautious when I go out. I deserve to be beaten. Master, I am angry, Liu Zhen is a sinister villain! He is just exaggerating and wants my father to beat me up!"

When Shen's father heard this, he became anxious, and his bull's eyes widened. He grabbed a small bench next to him and was about to smash Shen Liuzhen.

Who knows that Shen Liuzhen is surprisingly strong, and he doesn't know who he is angry with, and he doesn't hide, he just looks up and stares at his father fiercely.

Father Shen hesitated for a moment, didn't make a move, and asked instead: "What are you staring at? Are you not convinced?"

"Why should I be convinced? The teacher can still give a reason for beating someone. You beat someone purely because you are unhappy. Why should I be convinced!"

Father Shen intuitively felt that his authority as a father was underestimated, so he threw the stool in his hand and said:
"Let me tell you why! The most basic thing in life is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness! You and Xie Yuan are brothers, as long as you talk about a little bit of loyalty, you can't sue for this! Let alone adding oil and vinegar to fear that the world will not be chaotic! Like you Such a person, no one is willing to save you if you throw it on the battlefield!"

"Who's going to the battlefield?! I don't care if someone saves me!" Shen Liuzhen said with his neck stuck.

Father Shen gritted his teeth, finally couldn't hold back, slapped him and beat him hard.

Therefore, the battle between Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen was barely a draw.

The confrontation between the two of them has always been a draw, and many times, Shen Liuzhen was beaten even worse.

So this delicate balance has been maintained, but this balance was quickly broken.

……

……

Because Shen's father was serving in the army, he was often away from home, and sometimes even stayed directly in the barracks for half a month.

When it was close, Father Shen would occasionally come back to check on Xie Yuan's progress in martial arts, and give pointers by the way.

If it is far away, there is no way to see people.

Fortunately, martial arts practice relies on self-discipline, and Xie Yuan has never disappointed Father Shen in this aspect.

But Shen Liuzhen was different.

Every time this time is Shen Liuzhen's happiest time.

Being lazy, he would deliberately cut corners, go out with Xie Yuan, and then sleep under a tree on the way, and tell Father Xie that he had already run away.

Naturally, father Xie would not be too harsh on him in this regard, because this is the scope of his father, Xiaowei Shen, who is responsible for discipline.

So Xie Yuan always saved up, and when the master came back, he would sue him, and Shen Liuzhen would inevitably be beaten.

But this time, Father Shen wanted to lead troops to fight, and went out for several months.

Before leaving, I told Xie Yuan that Xie Yuan should be in charge of supervising Shen Liuzhen, and don't let him be too lazy and slack.

But without Father Shen's stick, how could Shen Liuzhen listen to Xie Yuan?

So while he was being lazy, he kept complaining to Xie Yuan on Father Xie's side.

What is "A Yuan is on the roof again..."

"The vase in the front hall was knocked down by A Yuan...

"A Yuan broke another Langhao brush..."

Etc., etc……

As a result, Xie Yuan was being watched by a pair of eyes and constantly reprimanded all day long.

The scene suddenly became unbalanced, only Xie Yuan was beaten and tortured, and Shen Liuzhen was completely comfortable...

Xie Yuan was not reconciled, the master didn't come back, and no one helped her vent her anger, so she turned her head on revenge for herself...

On this day, Shen Liuzhen slept under an old tree again.

Instead of running back and forth two or three times as usual, Xie Yuan found him and kicked him hard on the sole of his shoe.

Following Shen Liuzhen's servant, he also leaned on the other side of the tree and nodded his head to doze off. Hearing the sound, he quickly stood up. Seeing Xie Yuan's angry face, he hurriedly ran to the side, and at the same time, his face showed that he didn't mind watching the excitement. Big deal expression.

Shen Liuzhen rubbed his eyes, and saw Xie Yuan staring at him condescendingly with those prestige Danfeng eyes.

He retracted his kicked foot, dodged his eyes, yawned and asked:
"You finished running so quickly?"

Xie Yuan said with a cold face:

"Shen Liuzhen, let's make a bet. Let's have a serious fight. If you win, I will never care about you again. After Master comes back, I will hide it for you. But if you lose , you must listen to me from now on!"

Shen Liuzhen was a little frightened by Xie Yuan's momentum, leaned against the tree behind his back and climbed up, saying:
"You can't beat me. The teacher and wife will be angry if they find out. Then you will be beaten too."

Xie Yuan frowned and said, "I said it was a bet, and I'm willing to accept the bet. It's an agreement. Why should they beat me?"

"I don't want to bet with you..." Shen Liuzhen said timidly.

"Hmph, you don't want to? Then I'll beat you harder, and I'll get back the part my father wants to punish me!"

Shen Liuzhen was dumbfounded. He stared at Xie Yuan for a while, then discussed and said, "Ah Yuan, don't be impatient. How about this, I promise to fight with you, no matter whether we win or lose, none of us will complain to the adults, how about it?"

At that time, the naive Shen Liuzhen still had illusions, thinking that he was the same age as Xie Yuan and about the same size, so maybe he could win with all his strength?
