Hadong County

"Hit someone?"

In the courtyard surrounded by the fence, there was no decoration at all, and the whole place was just uneven yellow earth.

Even the clucking old hen's nest for laying eggs was made of randomly piled weeds from the roadside.

However, all this was not important in the eyes of the young Guan Ping. All his attention was occupied by the angry woman. The woman was wearing a low-necked short dress, which was bleached by washing and had large traces of mending. Her calloused hands were holding a willow branch, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her haggard face was full of anger, like a ferocious beast.

"Mother, it was that man who started it first, bullying a fellow clan member. I was so angry." Guan Ping gritted his teeth and explained, "He attacked in a rage. Father was not happy about the powerful bullying the common people—"

Guan Ping's words were instantly blocked by the woman's hand. He looked up and saw the woman's panic. The woman asked, "Where did you hear that?"

"Uh huh"

Guan Ping pointed to his mouth.

The panicked woman finally let go of her hand.

Guan Ping replied: "Mother, I dreamed that my father and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei became brothers of different surnames, and together they killed the Yellow Turbans and put down the rebellion, saving Xuzhou, and then my father and I both died in Maicheng."

As soon as the word "death" came out of her mouth, the woman spat on the ground, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, son, you are still young, don't talk about death!"

As she was talking, the woman dropped the willow branch in her hand and hugged Guan Ping. Guan Ping looked puzzled. He really didn't understand why her attitude changed so much.

The woman said with relief: "You are indeed Changsheng's biological son. You have your father's blood."

I can’t wait for Guan Ping’s follow-up questions.

"boom!"

The courtyard door was kicked open violently, and a man with a red face came in cursing. This man was a well-known bully in the village. He didn't care about farming and was idle on weekdays. He was brave and aggressive. Ordinary villagers were afraid of him and dared not provoke him.

Even officials dared not say anything, after all, this man's family was a local tyrant. A few years ago, a man named Guan Yu suddenly appeared, took off the head of a tyrant who bullied the people in the village, and walked away. This person restrained himself a little.

"My dear, what brings you to my humble home?" The woman protected Guan Ping behind her with a smile on her face.

The man angrily asked, "What are you doing? Look at the brat behind you! He beat my son so badly that his face was swollen! Are you going to let this go?"

The woman knew that the person who came today had bad intentions, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "My dear, what do you think we should do to satisfy you?"

"You are a reasonable person." The man nodded, his eyes darting around, as if he was looking for something valuable. After searching for a long time, nothing satisfied him. He pouted and looked at the clucking hen, and reluctantly said, "This hen looks okay. I'll take it back and make soup for my son!"

After saying this, the man reached out towards the chicken coop without waiting for the woman to say anything.

"Snapped"

In a flash, a thin bamboo pole hit the man's hand fiercely, causing him to scream in pain, "It hurts, it hurts!"

"Put it down!"

Guan Ping held a bamboo pole, straightened his chest, stood up decisively and protected the woman.

The woman pulled Guan Ping behind her, first scolding him a few times, then apologizing to the man, "My dear, my son is ignorant, you can take the hen, and take anything else you like!"

"Too late!" The man rubbed his red elbow and glared at Guan Ping fiercely. He looked as ferocious as a wolf in the forest. He took off the sword from his waist, pointed at the two men, and said angrily: "I just spoke to you two in a friendly way, do you think I'm easy to bully? It seems that I haven't taken action for a long time, and even the kid is not afraid of me! Today I will teach you two a lesson!"

Guan Ping broke free from the woman and stood in front of her again.

The woman saw this and was anxious. She grabbed Guan Ping's arm and said anxiously, "Ping'er, hide behind your mother and don't get angry with this brave man."

"Mother, I think he is here to cause trouble. The old hen is the last valuable thing in our house. He wants to attack you now. I must stop him!" The man was about to pounce.

Suddenly a loud shout rang out

"Stop it, everyone!"

The moment the sound was heard, the three men only felt two black shadows flash before their eyes. The burly warriors all jumped to the man's side and held his arms. The terrifying force poured out, causing the man's face to change suddenly. With a "thump", he was pressed to the ground. He immediately begged for mercy.

"Did you two warriors make a mistake? I have never had any grudge against you two!"

The sudden change even confused the woman. When she was about to ask who the two warriors were, she saw a man walking into the yard. The man was wearing a robe and a hat. The two warriors showed him special respect and called him "the head of the family."

Even Guan Ping shouted, "Mr. Mi!"

"?"

When had Ping'er seen this person before? His figure and appearance don't look like those of an ordinary citizen. Who is he?

Something even more confusing happened to the woman. The man Guan Ping called 'Mr. Mi' ignored the man pinned to the ground and nodded at Guan Ping. He walked to Guan Ping with a smile on his face, bent his knees slightly, squatted down, and said with a smile: "Are you Guan Ping?"

Guan Ping nodded.

"Good good."

Mr. Mi smiled even brighter. He touched Guan Ping's head and said, "You don't have to call me Mr. Mi. Call me Uncle Mi. Your father and I are brothers."

"what?"

It was Guan Ping's turn to be confused. How could Mr. Mi become his father's brother?
"Thank you for your help, sir. May I ask who you are?" the woman asked after she came to her senses.

"Mi Zhu, Mi Zizhong, nice to meet your sister-in-law." Mi Zhu bowed to the woman.

"Sister-in-law?" The woman blinked and thought, when did Changsheng get a brother with the surname Mi?
The pupils of the man who was pressed to the ground shrank to pinholes. He screamed wildly in his heart, wasn't it agreed that this family was an orphan and a widow? ! How could there be such relatives? !
However, what made him feel even more desperate was the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer.

A hearty voice fell.

"Mr. Mi, what happened?"

Guan Ping poked his head out and said happily, "General Zilong!"

Mi Zhu stood up and turned to Zhao Yun on his white horse and said, "General Zilong, this man dared to attack Sister Pinghe."

"Oh?" Zhao Yun's gaze fell on the man. Even though the man did not see Zhao Yun's appearance behind him, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, and a chill rushed from the man's tailbone to the top of his head.

"Let go, let me come."

Zhao Yun dismounted and walked quickly to the man.

The man looked up when he heard the voice and saw a face full of anger.

Seeing Zhao Yun beating the man and making him wail non-stop, the strong man in the woman's eyes was now like a stray dog. She secretly swallowed her saliva and asked in a low voice, "Ping'er, who are they?"

Guan Ping said excitedly: "General Anhan Mi Zizhong! General Yijun Zhao Zilong!"

The woman opened her mouth so wide that a pear could fit in it, "General???!!"
