Chapter 46

The dealer and the gamblers were already dozing off, and they were in high spirits. They shouted provocatively. The odds were the same as before. Everyone bet one after another. Xia Ergou took out the 60 yuan he just won and bet again. Xia Qingtian won.

The dealer forcefully suppressed his smile, but there was still a trace of complacency hidden between his brows. His expression seemed to see an uncovered sewer well mouth appearing in front of a blind man who was walking alone, and he was expecting him to fall down, but He forced himself not to laugh, for fear that the blind would notice.

The dealer thought to himself, this fat sheep is really a fool, he even bet it with interest. It seems that the money is going back into his pocket before he warms it up.

Can't help feeling proud.

Seeing her brother being ridiculed, Xia Xiaoluo felt upset, took out her wallet, and took out four ten-dollar banknotes, betting them on Xia Qingtian's side, saying: "Make up a whole number, and we will win later so we can settle the score."

Everyone looked at him as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but he was so generous, they couldn't help being surprised, thinking, whose kid is this?If he is so rich, he must be the son of a high official in the county. If he doesn't know how to cherish money, he will lose everything in a while.

Everyone's eyes shone on Xia Xiaoluo like a spotlight, but they were envious and jealous.

How did they know that this money was entirely earned by Xia Xiaoluo's "self-employment".

Relying on the sky and the earth to rely on Lao Tzu is not considered a good man, only being rich can be considered a real skill.

Xia Xiaoluo enjoyed everyone's envious and jealous eyes, and it was very useful in her heart. Hey, before I was reborn, I was a wage earner who didn't even look at me when I saw him. Now I'm going to learn from those rich second-generation dandies who spend money and spend money like dirt. , Enjoy the envious eyes of others.

He had been bullied before, and it was rare for him to be proud for a while, so this coercion was extraordinarily thorough.

After hearing a shout, everyone's gazes were withdrawn from Xia Xiaoluo and focused on Li Dazui again.

I saw him pressing his hands down, his breath sank to his dantian, the veins on his head were raised high, and he tightly hugged the stone roller with both hands.

He shouted loudly: "Get up!"

The stone roller slowly left the ground under his super strength.

He picked up the stone roller and straightened his waist.

Everyone heard that he has this rare kung fu, so seeing is believing, they all applauded and applauded, saying: "Even if you lose money today, it's worth it, let's look at acrobatics."

At that time, there was very little entertainment in the countryside, and television was not popularized yet. The performances of the wandering acrobats were very popular among the people.

Lifting the stone roller up to his waist, he was already exhausted, loosened his hands, and with a "bang", the stone roller fell to the ground, smashing the square bricks on the ground, and falling into a deep hole.

Li Dazui was gasping for breath, but his face was full of joy and complacency, and he said in his heart, it can be regarded as saving some face.

Several men who had bet on Li Dazui's victory beamed with joy, applauded and applauded, thinking, this is a sure win.

Xia Qingtian was far less powerful than Li Dazui, he walked up to the stone roller without raising his breath, grabbed the round holes at both ends of the stone roller with both hands, lifted it seemingly easily, the stone roller was surprised by everyone In his eyes, he held it up high.

And it's raised above the head.

He even held the stone roller and turned around with ease.

The weight of the stone roller was transmitted to his feet through his body, and the square bricks under his feet cracked in shock after making a harsh and creepy sound under the heavy pressure.

Everyone held their breaths and concentrated, not daring to make a noise anymore. Even Mr. Li, who is highly respected in Changhe Township, stood up slightly and stretched his neck; and the beautiful eyes of his beloved daughter Li Rongrong behind him were full of deep and deep eyes. She couldn't help secretly admiring this young man with a handsome appearance, excellent skills, and a very decent appearance.

The winner was already decided, Li Dazui just raised it to his waist, while Xia Qingtian couldn't help raising it above his head, and turned around easily, obviously the latter's skill was stronger.

Xia Xiaoluo and Xia Ergou cheered, and the two of them won money again. The 100 yuan quickly became 600 yuan, which was more than a year's income of the peasant family at that time.

The dealer and a few gamblers were about to cry, and they were so frustrated that they didn't want to talk anymore. They just sighed, scolded themselves for being blind, and even more secretly scolded Li Dazui for not living up to expectations.

Xia Qingtian cupped his fists and said to Li Dazui: "Accept."

He clasped his fist at Mr. Li again, and said, "Old man, it's too late tonight, we have to leave, come back when we have time."

Mr. Li looked at him with admiring eyes, and said: "Well, Xia Qingtian, you are good at martial arts, but I dare not challenge you with my old bones. My son has never known the heights of heaven and earth, and today you can be regarded as my substitute!" I have taught him a lesson, and I have to thank you!"

Xia Xiaoluo looked at him with a happy face, it was obvious that he meant it sincerely, not just talking about it, and thought, this old man is a good person, he can be handed over.

Xia Qingtian blushed slightly, scratched his head, and said, "Hey, don't dare, don't dare."

Mr. Li admired him even more, and with a happy face, he said: "Young man, yes, it's rare to win without being arrogant or discouraged. You must be tired from the martial arts competition just now. Let's have a cup of tea before leaving."

Everyone watched with satisfaction, this rural martial arts competition is a good form of entertainment, and they were about to leave.

It's just that a few street ruffians who lost money were cursing and swearing.

Li Rongrong, who was behind him, had already turned into the room without waiting for orders, apparently to serve tea, and a moment later, she came out gracefully carrying a tray, on which were placed three enamel jars, filled with tea.

Xia Qingtian was indeed thirsty, and it was brought out by a young girl again, so he couldn't save others' face, so he couldn't walk over to take the water glass.

In the mocking and disdainful eyes of everyone, Li Dazui's face became more and more gloomy, and he could almost wring out water. He, a street ruffian in Changhe Township, who should not give him three points, even the deputy mayor Qian Xuewen You want to rely on him to charge forward and call him a brother?

But today's battle has ruined his reputation. He has developed an arrogant and domineering temperament after years of running rampant in the village. How can he bear to lose face in front of these people?

He raised his head abruptly, and rushed towards Xia Qingtian, whose back was facing him, like an angry lion.

He had already lost his mind, he didn't care about the sneak attack from behind as a villain's behavior, and he only cared about venting the anger in his heart.

At the moment when Xia Xiaoluo, Xia Ergou, Li Rongrong and all the onlookers were astonished but before they shouted out, the distance of ten steps was fleeting under the swift running of Li Dazui's long legs.

And Xia Qingtian still walked towards Li Rongrong with a smile on his own, as if he was unaware of the crisis behind him.

Just when everyone thought that Li Dazui's sinister move would definitely hit Xia Qingtian, Xia Xiaoluo and Ergou had already closed their eyes in despair, Xia Qingtian slid, turned sideways, and swung his legs.

The movements are simple and fast, and have nothing to do with being gorgeous and beautiful.

Then, it hits the target, the timing is perfect, and the speed and strength are perfect.

Li Dazui's huge body of nearly 250 kilograms flew straight for more than three meters like a kite with a broken string before falling to the ground.

Everyone froze, opening their mouths wide enough to fit a fist.

Xia Qingtian looked coldly at Li Dazu who was on the ground, and said: "It's not terrible to lose the competition, what's terrible is to lose character!"

Leaving everyone a lonely back, he, Xia Xiaoluo, and Xia Ergou didn't drink the tea on the tray in the beauty's hand, and rode on the extremely dilapidated Flying Pigeon BMW. There was a harsh creaking sound, and the bicycle Disappeared in the cool night.

The old man of the Li family scratched his hands in the air. Looking at the backs of the three leaving, his eyes were full of reluctance and regret, and there was a trace of shame. After all, he didn't say the sentence: "Go slowly." The dispirited son who was on the ground slammed his walking stick on the ground and said: "You have completely embarrassed my ancestors!"

Li Rongrong just wanted to help her brother up, but the old man of the Li family said: "Leave him alone!" He snorted coldly and walked into the room.

Li Rongrong looked at the night where the three disappeared from a distance, and the emotions in her eyes were very complicated. Is it love, regret, or hope?

Li Dazui on the ground was full of tears. How long has it been since a man eight feet tall had tasted tears?

However, today he tasted it.His hands were clenched into fists, and he hit the rough, hard ground hard.

A full moon has passed the treetops, climbed to the middle of the sky, and sprinkled silvery light. Under the cool night wind, the corn seedlings in the field are shaking their huge leaves cheerfully, turning up layers of leaves. Lubo, corn cobs that have produced corn kernels exude a sweet taste, making people feel the joy of an upcoming harvest.

In the summer of 1990, a Flying Pigeon bicycle was running very coolly on the dirt road with poplar trees on both sides, and the three young people were talking and laughing, triumphantly.

Xia Xiaoluo, a local rich man, was happily arguing with Xia Ergou on how to distribute the 600 yuan he won. According to Xia Ergou: "I bet on this money, and I won it. I will pay you back the ten yuan." , the remaining five hundred and ninety-nine are mine!"

Xia Xiaoluo retorted, saying: "If I lose the ten yuan bet, will you pay me back the ten yuan? It's clearly my capital, and the winning money will naturally belong to me. For the sake of your active errands, I will pay you back ten yuan. I don't mind being generous, I'll give you two yuan for running errands!"

Xia Ergou, who was sitting on the beam in front of him, groaned angrily.

While chatting and laughing, the three of them had already driven to the entrance of the old Xiazhuang village, and saw a figure standing under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village from a distance.Pretend to be scary?

They haven't seen the man's face yet, they only heard a crying voice - "Brother Qingtian?"

It was Liu Chaihuo's older sister, Liu Yue. This girl's brave and powerful character left a deep impression on Xia Xiaoluo, but now she couldn't help crying.

Xia Qingtian asked: "Liu Yue? It's so late, it's past twelve o'clock, what are you doing here?"

"Brother Qingtian—" After confirming that the person on the bicycle was Xia Qingtian who she had been waiting for all night, Liu Yue simply burst into tears. In her mind, this tall and mighty "Brother Qingtian" was her The only force that can be relied on in an indifferent and cruel society.

Seeing that he was crying, Xia Qingtian quickly got out of the car and grabbed her shoulders and asked, "Liu Yue, what's the matter? What do you mean?"

Liu Yue and Xia Qingtian are childhood sweethearts, but their friendship has always been preserved. In Liu Yue's mind, Xia Qingtian is as kind and reliable as her biological brother.

Liu Yue tried her best to suppress her grief, and said, "After you left, Xia Tiegui, the secretary of the village party committee, brought a dozen people to our house...and took...the old sow and a few piglets of our family. Let’s go! He said that without submitting the deposit and the overall fundraising, he sold our pigs and refused to return them to us. My grandma was so frightened... so frightened... that she fainted."

"Damn it!" Xia Qing, in a hurry, punched the big locust tree with a "bang", and asked hurriedly, "How is grandma? Is there something wrong?"

"She's fine. She has high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. She took Suxiao Jiuxin Pills and is now asleep."

Xia Ergou also looked worried, took out a box of red flag canals with only four left, and handed it to Xia Qingtian, Xia Qingtian lit one with a match, frowned and twitched, and for a while he and Xia Both dogs were at a loss.

Xia Xiaoluo clapped her hands and said, "Brother, we fell into Li Dazui's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Xia Xiaoluo was the first to understand.

"It's a fart for you to be an afterthought. Isn't the pig being taken away?" Xia Ergou rolled his eyes dissatisfied. "Hurry up and think of a way now."

Liu Yue also stomped her feet anxiously, you know, that old sow is her family's most important means of production, it all depends on it being sold at the end of the year for the family's food and clothing, and for grandma to see a doctor and buy medicine.

Xia Qingtian kept frowning, apparently helpless.

Xia Xiaoluo smiled and said, "I have a way, I wonder if it will work?"

Xia Qingtian looked at the little cousin in front of him in amazement, and suddenly remembered that this kid got the third place in the county exam this year, and he should still have enough brains, so he asked a little excitedly: "Your uncle, you said it!"

Xia Xiaoluo thought, my uncle is your father Xia Jinzhou!He smiled sullenly and said: "Didn't they take Sister Liu Yue's old sow away, let's do something!"

"Why do you just use tricks?" Xia Qingtian became interested.

"Did they say that as long as we hand in the village plan and the township coordinator, we will return our pigs? Right, sister Liu Yue?" Xia Xiaoluo looked at Liu Yue and said.

"That's right, that's what Xia Tiegui said." Liu Yue thought for a moment.

"It has to be like this. Could it be that they still haven't returned our pigs after we handed over the retention and overall planning? Is there any law?" Xia Ergou said indignantly.

"That's good. If we have to pay the overall planning and withdrawal, will they not pay us back?" Xia Xiaoluo asked.

"Xiao Luo, don't make trouble, our family has no money to pay these..." Liu Yue said anxiously.

Xia Xiaoluo said solemnly: "I can help you pay the money, don't worry, what will you do if they can't pay back the pig?"

"I'm not going to tear up that Qian Xuewen and feed it to the dogs!" Liu Yue said fiercely.

Xia Xiaoluo shuddered Lingling, thinking, women are too scary, women want to be ruthless, but they are more ruthless than men, only villains and women are difficult to raise, the words of the ancients really make sense.

Xia Xiaoluo added: "No, it won't do any good to tear him up, we have to blackmail him hard!"

When Qingtian and Ergou heard this, they were very excited and geared up.

"Now, we have to find a way to kill that sow and make them pay off that old sow!"

"That's too simple. My family has medicinal dog eggs, and pigs like to eat them..." Xia Ergou blurted out, and then covered his mouth with fear.

In the dark night, Xia Xiaoluo and Xia Qingtian's faces were reflected by the cigarette butts like will-o'-the-wisps, and they looked at each other with a sad smile, and almost said in unison: "Just do it like this!"

Liu Yue was still a little hesitant, and said, "Is that okay?"

Xia Xiaoluo said: "Have you forgotten how those bastards treated you?"

Liu Yue pondered for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "Then...be careful."

She is really reluctant to part with her old sow who is not picky eaters and has super reproductive ability.

A moment later, Xia Ergou took out a thing wrapped in oil paper from home, opened a layer of oil paper, and saw that there was still a layer of oil paper wrapped behind, Xia Xiaoluo laughed and scolded: "### Master, Xia Ergou, this thing How precious is it?"

Xia Ergou remained calm, and solemnly opened the last layer of oil paper, only to see something like a sweet potato exposed in front of everyone.

That thing was dark and not very pretty, but it smelled temptingly sweet.

Xia Ergou said: "This drug dog egg is very difficult to get. It is a kind of wild fruit. Animals will die immediately after eating it."

In fact, the principle of this drug dog egg is very simple. Swallowing something like pigs and dogs will cause the throat to swell, and the throat will be stuck instantly, unable to breathe. The pigs and dogs will suffocate to death.

And the medicine has not yet reached the stomach of the pig and dog, so the corpse of the pig and dog will not be poisonous.

In the early 90s, this kind of thing was very common in the Central Plains. Many people took this drug dog for nothing, and then dragged the fainted or suffocated dog home to kill and eat it.

Xia Qingtian put the things into his arms and asked Liu Yue, "Liu Yue, where did they get the pig?"

"It's the township government compound! The vegetable garden in the back."

At that time, many cadres stationed in villages and townships had low salaries and lived in poverty, so they turned an open space behind the township government compound into a vegetable garden, presumably the pig was tethered there.

Xia Qingtian stepped on the bicycle in a very cool manner, like a warrior about to go to war.

Xia Ergou still wanted to follow, but Xia Xiaoluo grabbed him and said, "Are you going to play with him? It's better to do it alone, because someone knows how to do it easily, and someone finds it easy to escape."

As soon as Liu Yue heard that this matter might be discovered, she became more and more nervous about her "Brother Qingtian". When she wanted to stop him, she found that Xia Qingtian had gone far away, so she gave up and prayed for him silently in her heart.

The three of them coincidentally did not say anything about going home. In the middle of the night, in the cool summer wind, under the big locust tree, they either stood or squatted, waiting silently...

Xia Ergou popped out a cigarette, struck a match and lit it, and Xia Xiaoluo reached out to snatch it.

Before he was reborn, he was a smoker. When he was in the county, he kept restraining himself for fear that his father would find out.

In the past few days, I was with this group of wild children in my hometown, watching them smoke, and my heart was already itchy. What's more, he was also worried about his dear cousin, afraid that something would happen to him.

Xia Ergou also understood his mood, did not fight, put away his usual naughty temper of joking, and became worried.

Half an hour later, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night, and they hadn't seen Xia Qingtian's figure, nor heard his hearty smile.

Liu Yue couldn't help being confused, and said, "Brother Qingtian will be fine, right? Let's go to the village to see..."

Xia Ergou also said: "Grass, if you are caught by the villagers, it's game over, you have to be sentenced."

When he fanned the flames like this, Liu Yue was even more anxious, her tears fell to the ground like broken beads, she sobbed softly, thinking, it was all because of my failure to keep up with my old sow , now hurt my good friend to take the risk for myself.

Xia Xiaoluo was full of confidence, and said: "Just being discovered, with the skills of those trash from the township government, we can defeat our brave brother Tian!"

Hearing what he said, the two felt a little comforted in their hearts.

The three of them waited and waited until three o'clock in the morning, when a familiar sound of "hula la" bicycles passing by broke the tranquility of the summer night.

But in the night, Xia Qingtian came galloping on a bicycle, and there was still a black thing hanging on the back seat of the bicycle.

Xia Qingtian made a sudden brake with his feet wearing slippers, then threw down the things on the back seat, and said with a smile: "Hey, I don't think this medicine is used up. Wen’s residence, he gave his family’s big wolfdog a drug to death, brought him home, and beat his teeth for sacrifice!”

The three cheered when they saw his safe return, and judging by his expression, it was obvious that he had succeeded.

Xia Ergou pointed at the dead dog on the ground, and said, "Hey, let this thing mess with my house, my grandma is the only one in my house."

Xia Qingtian also thinks this is more appropriate, Xia Ergou is an orphan, his parents are dead, only he and his grandma are left to depend on each other, and the grandma doesn't care about him.If he killed the dog at his own home, he would have to be interrogated for a while. Besides, that "Wenzhou businessman" Wang Dali had a big appetite, and I didn't want to let him eat a portion.

Xia Qingtian also thought it was more appropriate to do so, nodded, Xia Ergou kicked the dog fiercely, and said: "Vicious dog, you are finally dead, it is not wrong to let your grandfather eat you today! "

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "dogs rule over people". This Qianxue Wenyu meat village is full of tyranny. The dog he raises is just like him. He is a vicious dog and often bites people. It's just words.

Today, Xia Qingtian stole the dog at midnight, which can be regarded as eliminating one harm for the villagers.

Liu Yue said: "Go ahead and play, I won't participate." As she said that, she turned around and was about to go home. She felt that stealing dogs, killing dogs and eating dog meat was a matter for a few boys, and it was not good for her to take the initiative to participate.

Xia Ergou said: "Hey, Sister Liu Yue, you're home, we three big men won't have a chef, so you can't call my grandma to cook for us?"
