Originally, Xu Zizhen planned to go straight north as soon as he landed, pass through Jingzhao Prefecture, pass Fengxiang Prefecture, and then turn northwest to Lanzhou Prefecture. However, Li Meng wanted to learn flying rocks and marksmanship, so Liu Feng casually suggested to rest in Kuizhou for a few days.
, so that he can teach kung fu.
Xu Zizhen didn't ask about the specific purpose of Liu Fengsui's trip to Lanzhou. Anyway, he didn't believe that Liu Fengsui really wished his aunt a happy birthday. Zhang Qing was from Hebei. After his death, his family members all returned to their hometown. How could there be anything else?
My sister is in Lanzhou? But he also has secrets that he can't tell, so he won't ask about things that have nothing to do with him.
Kuizhou is surrounded by high mountains. After entering the city, he just checked into an inn. Liu Feng followed Li Meng and plunged into the mountains to find a secluded place to teach him kung fu. Xu Zizhen had nothing to do, so he just wandered around the city of Kuizhou.
stand up.
There were many shops in the city, and people were coming and going on the streets. It was extremely prosperous. Xu Zizhen suddenly discovered that there were so many wine shops in Kuizhou City. In the most densely populated area, there was even a wine shop about ten steps away. Now he felt bored.
The emotion disappeared immediately. Anyway, I had a lot of money in my pocket. Regardless of the quality of the store, one by one started drinking.
Du Fu lived in Kuizhou for nearly two years and wrote more than 400 poems. Many of these Kuizhou poems mentioned wine. This shows that the wine industry in Kuizhou is prosperous. At this time, Xu Zizhen only felt that he was
You should live in a place like this, where you can be calm and comfortable, drink wine in your spare time, and chat with a few close friends.
He drank all the way, and he drank in almost a dozen wine shops on this street. Gradually, he began to feel a little bored. Although the wine was good, the taste was the same every time he drank it, and he always felt a little tired.
, seeing that it was still early, Xu Zizhen took advantage of the wine and strolled towards the outside of the city.
Kuizhou is a hilly area. There are slopes everywhere inside the city, and there are rolling mountains outside the city. Even now, in late autumn, the mountains are still lush and green everywhere, with a gentle mountain breeze and fresh air. Xu Zizhen walked while admiring the autumn scenery of the mountains, and felt that
It was so comfortable that the fatigue of the past days on the boat and the depression in Suzhou city all dissipated at this moment.
Suddenly, he vaguely heard a noise not far away, mixed with a woman's cry, and was startled: Are there bandits here?
He walked quickly along the source of the sound, but after a while he turned a mountain road and suddenly appeared in front of a small flat land. There was a small thatched house on the flat ground. It was surrounded by a fence and there was a tree planted on the west side of the house.
There were bamboos growing there, and a clear mountain spring flowed in front of the house. Xu Zizhen couldn't help but secretly praise it: It's such a pure place like a paradise.
It's just that this clean place is not clean at all. More than half of the fence outside the hut has been knocked down. At the door of the house, several men dressed as servants are carrying a young woman out, while an old man over fifty years old inside the house is dragging her tightly.
He held the woman and refused to let go, shouting with excitement on his face: "Stop it quickly, you beasts! How dare you do such a kidnapping in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of thunder and lightning?"
The woman had a look of horror on her face, her pretty face turned pale with fright, she struggled and cried, "Daddy! Save my daughter!"
There was a middle-aged man outside the door, wearing a brand-new linen autumn robe, with several large rings on his hands. He looked like an outsider, looked at him coldly with his hands folded, and said disdainfully: "Huh! It's thundering.
?Old Coffin, I’m here, you’re going to let heaven strike at me!” After saying that, he glared at the servants and shouted, “You losers, haven’t you eaten yet? Why don’t you get this Old Coffin away from me!”
"Yes, Master!" The servants responded in unison, and with more force in their hands, they lifted the woman out. Seeing that the old man was still holding her hand and not letting go, one of the servants became impatient and raised his foot to hit the old man in the chest.
He was already so thin and weak that he could not withstand this kick. He immediately fell back with a muffled groan, and the back of his head hit the door frame hard. He fell to the ground and could not get up again.
Looking at Xu Zizhen from a distance, he felt a ball of anger raging in his chest. He despised this kind of bullying of the weak. He could not hold back. He rushed over with a quick stride and shouted: "Give it all to me."
stop!"
The servants were startled by the thunderous roar. When they looked closely, they saw a fair and handsome young man with a drunken look on his feet. He was staring at them with eyes full of anger. The waiter was also stunned for a moment.
, but after seeing Xu Zizhen's appearance clearly, he didn't take it to heart. He only glanced at him with disdain and said: "Where did the foreigner come from? What, you want to complain? I advise you to go and inquire first, I..."
Snapped!
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Zizhen had already walked up to him, raised his hand and slapped him hard on his fat and big-eared face, and spat with a sound: "Inquire about this? I've encountered this kind of thing.
I’ve always just asked but not listened.”
The man's face was swollen like a pig's head immediately after being slapped by him. The five fingerprints on his cheek were red and purple, and a trace of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. He seemed to be stunned and was stunned.
He stared at Xu Zizhen blankly for a long time before he suddenly came back to his senses. He covered his face and shouted in shock and anger: "You...you dare to hit me?" After saying that, he yelled at the servants who were already stunned,
"Fuck them all! It's mine to cripple him!"
The servants were so shocked that they came to their senses. They didn't care about the woman. They rolled up their sleeves and rushed towards Xu Zizhen, shouting. How dare this kid hit our master? Is that okay?
Xu Zizhen was already tipsy from drinking in the city. He was feeling uncomfortably hot all over his body. When he saw those people rushing over in a menacing manner, he laughed loudly: "You're good to go, let's watch!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shouted and rushed forward. Those servants were accustomed to bullying others with their own masters, so they didn't have any real skills. Xu Zizhen rushed into the crowd and rushed left and right, just like
A ferocious hungry tiger, several servants were no match for him, almost all of them were knocked to the ground by him in just one encounter.
The foreigner was still glaring at Xu Zizhen gloomily, waiting to see him being beaten to the ground and begging for mercy, but the fact was completely beyond his expectation. In just a moment, several servants all fell to the ground wailing.
, either holding his stomach and rolling on the ground, or his nose bone was broken and his face was covered in blood.
He suddenly stood there in shock. He felt that his legs were weak and he couldn't run even if he wanted to. His stomach was full of bitter water and he couldn't spit it out. Seeing Xu Zizhen knocking down the last servant, he slowly moved towards him.
When he came over, he was immediately horrified. He pointed at him and exclaimed: "You... what are you going to do? Don't, don't, don't... don't come here!"
Xu Zizhen walked up to him, looked him up and down, and sneered: "I don't care where you are from, take your bastard right now and get out of here!"
He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last word, and a roar like spring thunder shook away the last trace of courage of the soldier. His feet went weak and he almost fell to the ground. At this time, he couldn't care about anything else.
Even as he rolled and climbed down the desert, the few servants ignored the pain and hurriedly supported each other and fled, panicking like a group of bereaved dogs.
It wasn't until they were out of sight that Xu Zizhen turned around and walked towards the hut. From a distance, he saw the woman throwing herself on the old man, crying softly: "Dad! Dad, wake up!"
Xu Zizhen was shocked: Damn it! Someone was killed?
