Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 382 The Broom is Broken

Wang An’s current height should be over 1.85 meters, while Niu Daming is only over 1.7 meters tall.

Normally, a tall person has long legs, so when Niu Daming swung his whisk and rushed forward, he bumped into Wang An's big feet.

Wang An’s furious kick was truly powerful.

Then all we saw was Niu Daming, who had just pounced on us and now was going back the same way.

But it must be said that Niu Daming did not return to his position, but directly crashed into the wall behind him, and the earth wall immediately made a muffled "hum" sound.

But it seemed that Niu Daming was fine, because immediately afterwards, Niu Daming pounced on him again.

As he pounced, Niu Daming cursed "Fuck you" and swung the whisk again.

When Wang An fought, he was always single-minded, like a madman.

So, before Niu Daming could pounce on him, Wang An kicked him again. Because of his height, the kick hit Niu Daming right in the heart.

At the same time, Niu Daming also slapped the whistle in his hand, this time hitting Wang An's leg.

However, Niu Daming flew back again, and the earth wall made a muffled "hum" sound again.

It was really unlucky for Jiba as he was hit by Niu Daming's back at the same place repeatedly.

But this time, after Niu Daming bumped into the wall, he failed to rush over. Instead, he fell to the ground and sat there rubbing his chest with a painful look on his face.

His lips were moving, but only a very light sound came out. Judging from the shape of his lips, it seemed that the curse he had just said was exactly the same.

It can be seen that Niu Daming was not seriously injured when he hit the wall, but Wang An's kick in the heart made Niu Daming lose his fighting ability.

Wang An doesn't care whether you feel uncomfortable or not. He quickly walks forward, swings his big foot, and kicks Niu Daming in the face.

Fortunately, although Niu Daming felt uncomfortable in the chest, his head was relatively clear. He leaned to the left and fell to the ground, avoiding Wang An's big feet.

But Wang An's big feet fell into the air.

But just as Niu Daming fell to the ground, the cotton hat fell off his head.

Then Wang An knelt on one knee on Niu Daming, and then he hit Niu Daming's head and big face with the short-handled broom in his hand.

Corn kernels are relatively heavy, so if you use a broom to gather them, you have to hold the broom blade and sweep hard. If you hold the broom handle, you won't be able to sweep them at all.

This is also the reason why short-handled brooms are used on the millstone track. Because when using a broom on the millstone, the handle of the broom is not only useless but also quite in the way.

So at this time, Wang An grabbed the broom handle and used the broom handle to make close contact with Niu Daming's head.

Of course, Niu Daming knew to protect his face with his hands, so Wang An’s broom handle did not hit Niu Daming on the top of his head or face every time.

Niu Daming was hit on the palm and back of his hands quite a few times.

Just when Niu Daming, who was being beaten by Wang And, was howling in agony.

The old man in the mill road, whose surname was also Niu, couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stepped forward and grabbed Wang An and tried to pull him away.

At the same time, he said, "Stop fighting, stop fighting. We all live in the same village. It's not a big deal."

In Kaoshantun, all people with the surname Niu are from the same family. Although many of them are five generations apart, they all have the same ancestor.

In rural areas, it is normal for people with the same surname to help each other, and whenever there is a war, most people will help their relatives instead of others.

When Niu Daming beat Wang An, this man surnamed Niu did not stop him. When Niu Daming beat the mule and frightened the mule, this man did not stop him either.

Now when Wang An pressed Niu Daming to the ground and hit him with the broom, the man surnamed Niu started to pull Wang An. So the current situation of the man surnamed Niu is "taking sides".

Taking sides and mediating a fight are two completely different concepts.

Because stopping a fight is fairer to both sides.

Taking sides means only pulling one person aside and letting the other person beat that person.

Basically, "taking sides" means helping one person beat another person.

With Wang An's experience in fighting, what has he not encountered? So at this moment, Wang An would definitely not indulge this old man named Niu.

Wang An cursed, "Fuck you, you'd better stay away from here, don't say I'm going to kill you."

As Wang An was speaking, he elbowed the man surnamed Niu in the face.

In Kaoshantun, the people with the surname Niu are numerous and tend to stick together, so in Kaoshantun, all the people with the surname Niu are basically very domineering.

The man named Niu was hit by Wang An's elbow, which might have really hurt him, and he instantly had a reason to fight.

Then I heard the man surnamed Niu angrily yelling, "You little bastard, you even dare to hit the people who are trying to stop the fight. I'm going to kill you first."

The man with the surname Niu rushed up from behind Wang An while cursing angrily.

At this time, the handle of the broom in Wang An's hand had been broken because it was shattered when it hit Niu Daming on the head.

No one knew how many broom bumps Niu Daming had been hit with, but his face and hands were covered in blood and he had lost his ability to fight.

Although Niu Daming's face looks miserable, it's actually not a big deal, just superficial injuries.

Because the brooms of this era were all made from broom seedlings.

Planing a broom means making a broom. I don’t know why it is called “planing” instead of “making”.

"Broom seedling" is a plant, scientifically known as millet.
It is actually a type of sweet sorghum.

But this thing can only be said to be a kind of sweet sorghum, and it cannot be said to be sweet sorghum, because its stalks are indeed not very sweet.

This thing is pretty good. Although it is not very productive, it is an indispensable thing in rural areas.

Its grains are food, but they are mainly used as feed for livestock.

The ears of rice after the grains are removed are used as raw materials for making brooms or scrubbing pots in the kitchen.

A kitchen broom is a small round broom, also called a kitchen sweeper in some places.

Its straw is used to make lid curtains or the flat bottom for steaming buns (scientific name: lid curtain grate).

Therefore, the handle of the broom is not very strong.

The scratches on Niu Daming's face were actually caused by the broom handle and the broken broom handle with its straw.

But no matter how you look at it, it's really miserable. There's nothing you can do except lying on the ground, covering your face and wailing.

When Wang An heard the man surnamed Niu scolding him, he knew that he was going to attack him, so he gave up Niu Daming and rushed towards the man surnamed Niu.

However, Wang An soon discovered that although this guy surnamed Niu was very arrogant, he was actually not as strong as Gou Lanzi in terms of fighting ability.

Because a few seconds later, Wang An tripped him and knocked him down, then sat on him and started punching him.
