In Qingcheng Town, there is no curfew and the night market is bustling.
The vendor selling lanterns, carrying a load of goods, stood on the street, and was surrounded by children with shining eyes, and they were surrounded. There were also a few little crying bags, dragging them tightly.
Holding the sleeves of parents who were unwilling to pay for money, she cried loudly.
He Xu looked at the exquisite lantern in his hand, and then at the group of poor ghosts who couldn't help but love the lantern. He grinned and raised the lantern in his hand high. When the wind blew, the stick-holding gods on the picture began to practice.
Eighteen kinds of martial arts, such magnificence, so impressive!
Within a moment, like bees and butterflies, it quickly attracted a crowd of followers.
The leader was a boy about the same age as him. He wore a felt hat and looked He Xu up and down. He was wearing a decent blue robe that was as tan as black coal, but he was wearing a pair of nondescript straw sandals.
"Where did you buy this lantern? I'll ask my dad to buy one another day." A chubby child asked.
He Xu suddenly became interested. He held the lantern high with one hand and held it behind his back with the other. He glanced at him and pretended to be serious: "You can't buy it. My brother spent a lot of money to buy it in the town. It's just this one."
, the person who will refine the magic weapon for me in the future is my brother, the Great Sword Immortal, do you understand?"
The child wearing a felt hat said sarcastically: "It's just you? You're wearing such a shabby pair of broken straw sandals and you're a great swordsman. If not, I'd have thought you were a beggar. Who are you trying to fool? You're bragging!"
He Xu smiled and said nothing, and then gave the guy a look that said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, an ordinary person like you."
He was actually a little panicked in his heart, and the little toes exposed under the worn straw sandals shrank, feeling a little embarrassed.
The child exposed the dilemma. The group of onlookers looked at his feet and burst out laughing.
The kid in the felt hat sneered and said, "He's bragging! He smashed his lantern!"
He Xu was anxious, and hurriedly protected the flickering lantern behind him, and shouted inwardly: "Let's see who dares!"
What's worse, I left in a hurry and didn't even bring the protective bricks or sticks with me.
The children rushed forward. He Xu tiptoed and retreated sharply. This retreat was a full two feet.
There was a boy with a stocky build, who was taller than He Xu. He grabbed his arm and tried to grab the lantern.
Under the plot, He Xu subconsciously swung his arm, and the boy fell to the ground like a big show. He was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears.
"This country bumpkin really has some strength!" A boy said in shock.
He Xu looked at his thin little hands. Before he could recover from the shock of his natural power, the boy in the felt hat led four or five boys and rushed forward to fight for the lantern.
He fought and retreated. Someone rushed up and slapped each one, causing the group of children to run away with their heads in their hands and cry non-stop.
Hehe, there is no one who can fight.
The man in the felt hat was full of anger and received the heaviest beatings. He Xu sat on top of him and gave him a symbolic slap in the face, but he didn't dare to hit hard and pulled his little penis, which hurt.
He had to cry for father and mother.
Suddenly, a woman with heavy makeup and light makeup rolled up her sleeves and yelled curses. She was followed by two or three servants dressed as servants and came quickly.
Before He Xu could stand up, there was a popping sound, and there was a buzzing in his ears, and one of his ears could not hear clearly. He did not dare to cry, and quickly stood up from the child, stood aside, and kept
Rubbing his ears, he made a hissing sound from his mouth.
He vaguely heard that the woman was speaking dirty words, and even greeted his deceased parents. He wanted to argue, but there were many people in front of him, so he stood there with a grimace, hiding the lantern behind his back, and let it go.
The woman was cursing, and it would be over after she calmed down.
"Mom! I want his lantern! I want his lantern!" The boy in the felt hat pulled the woman's sleeve and acted rogue.
The lady smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, my Shang'er will give you whatever you want."
The two attendants heard the woman's instructions and immediately stepped forward aggressively to seize He Xu's lantern.
There were several elderly people selling sugar paintings on the street who were about to step forward to protect He Xu, but were pushed to the ground by one of the servants.
After pulling it twice, the child squatted down to protect him. He secretly muttered that the little kid was too strong. As a result, the woman cursed, and the two people were a little embarrassed. One of them raised his eyebrows.
When he got up, he stepped on He Xu's head.
He Xu hugged the lantern tightly with one hand, protected his small head with one small hand, and closed his eyes tightly.
After waiting for a long time, he didn't see the kick falling on him, so he tried to open his eyes.
The two young men were shaking like chaff and sweating profusely because there was a long sword floating in front of them, blazing with flames, approaching step by step, pointing directly at the heads above their necks.
The long sword flew slowly, inch by inch, forcing the two people in front of the woman. Then a young man in a green robe fell from the sky into the sword with a whoosh sound. The sword was hanging in the air, with his arms in his arms.
Holding steaming snacks in it.
"Xia Ze!" He Xu said happily.
When the children saw Xia Ze, who looked like a fairy, they looked at each other, and then they realized that they had gotten into a big trouble.
The young man jumped off the sword, handed the steaming honey cake to He Xu, turned around and pointed at the woman and the two young men who took action, and asked: "You, you, and you, beat my house
Brother?"
The woman's face turned red, and her heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She cocked her neck and looked around and said to him: "He hit my merchant."
"They wanted to steal my lanterns and beat people, so I did it!"
A servant had a runny nose and burst into tears. His legs and feet were so weak that he was about to kneel down on the ground. However, before his knees touched the ground, he heard a splash in the river four feet away, and there was a drowned dog, lying on its back with its face upwards.
Floating on the water.
The man who wanted to step on He Xu rolled his eyes, thinking that the long-term pain would be worse than the short-term pain, so he simply took the opportunity to show off in front of the woman, so he pretended to be arrogant and said: "Huh?
What's wrong?"
Xia Ze seemed to not believe his ears and repeated: "Ah?"
With a bang, there was a thunderbolt in the brightly lit alleys of Qingcheng Town. A moment later, a man collapsed on the street and fell asleep, with a sweet smile on his face, sleeping extremely soundly.
The woman wanted to turn around and run away, but with a look from Xia Ze, she stayed where she was as if she was under a restraining spell.
Xia Ze pointed at the children who participated in the fight earlier: "What happened? Tell me the whole story clearly. You can't lie."
The children were hesitating, and then one child stood up and said with evasive eyes: "We just saw that his lanterns were beautiful, so we gathered around him. He said that his brother was a great swordsman. We didn't believe it, so Yang Shang said
He bragged and asked us to smash his lanterns, but we did it together and couldn't beat him."
Xia Ze nodded, as if waiting for something.
The child murmured: "I'm sorry, little brother, we shouldn't steal people's things."
As soon as these words came out, the children who were standing aside one after another came forward one after another and said to He Xu: "I'm sorry, little brother."
He Xu rubbed his ears and whispered: "I told you I didn't lie to you..."
Xia Ze held He Xu's little face, and there was a hot slap mark on the dark cheek.
He pulled He Xu to the woman and the child in the felt hat, and lightly kicked He Xu on the butt.
The latter understood the situation and was naturally familiar with the road. He bowed slightly and said loudly: "I'm sorry! I shouldn't hit people! Does it still hurt?"
The roar was so loud that his own ears were ringing from the beating.
The woman sneered when she heard this. Does this mean that he gave in? Even the children around her were a little in a state of disbelief. Let the gods of the land and the strong dragons do not overwhelm the local snakes.
But the woman's expression soon changed, because Xia Ze made an extremely secretive move. He took a step forward and rolled up his sleeves.
"You...what do you want?" She couldn't help but take two steps back.
"When children fight, the order of right and wrong is clear. You, an adult, still insist on getting involved. What else did I hear just now? You said that my brother is a bastard who was born without any education from his parents? Then that's it.
We can't let it go like this, I have to reason with you today."
"How dare you! It's indecent! Someone is coming! Someone is doing it in broad daylight..."
The slap was loud, as crisp as a thunderbolt, and filled the heart with anger. The woman who received the slap even felt countless jade rulers flying across her eyes, and she fell to the ground.
"Don't hit my mother!" A child in a felt hat named Yang Shang blocked the woman behind him.
Xia Ze picked his head and said with a smile: "By the way, your mother just slapped my brother, so according to the order, my slap should hit your face first."
Yang Shang's eyes were horrified and he gulped.
"If you slap me in the face, I won't slap your mother." Xia Ze crossed his arms on his chest.
The child was silent for a long time, silently walking behind his mother, his eyes evasive.
The woman woke up from the shock and confusion, her cheeks bulged, and she said angrily: "Wild boy, do you know who you are provoking? You are provoking the Yang family, one of the two major families in Qingcheng Town!"
Xia Ze frowned and took a step closer. As a result, the lady suddenly stood up. Without caring about the dignity of a wealthy family, she held up her long skirt and pulled her child, and ran away in a hurry.
"My child, run away quickly. You've caused a big disaster. I owe you a beating first... This woman is the wife of the Yang family, one of the two largest families in the town. You won't be able to escape when she comes to help.
Alright..." The old man squatting on the ground sighed quietly.
Xia Ze hurriedly helped up the old man who had just acted righteously, and asked inexplicably as he approached, "Grandpa, which one is in front, the Ling family or the Yang family in Qingcheng Town?"
"Of course the Ling family is in front and the Yang family is in the back." The old man was a little confused.
"Oh, it's okay then." Xia Ze seemed relieved.
So the old man became even more confused: "Child, what do you mean by this?"
He Xu, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke with a calm tone: "The head of the Ling family, it seems that he was beaten by my brother just now."
On the street, the crowd of people watching felt as if their ears had been struck by lightning.
Xia Ze handed something over, and the old man's palm felt warm. He lowered his head and saw that there was a warm honey crispy cold snack in his hand. It had been fried in hot oil, wrapped in honey, and fragrant.
The young man distributed the food in the oil paper to the fighting children, and he also ate with gusto.
The instigator of this incident stood silently aside, holding snacks and lamenting: "I am such a troublemaker!"
