Puff... Puff... Not even the officials in the courtyard could hold back their laughter.
"Why are you talking? Who is stupid?" The third cousin asked, glaring at Dong Li.
"It's you. You know how to run around every day. What else are you to be a fool?" Dong Li is a kid who doesn't speak when he doesn't speak. When he speaks, he realizes that he has a very sharp tongue.
"Who said I can only run away?" The third cousin was not happy now, and directly punched a set of punches, which was very powerful and powerful, and it was obvious that the training these days was really in vain.
Li Jinniu took the lead in cheering, and the others also cheered. This set of punches would definitely not disgrace an official.
Dong Li's expression was a little surprised and a little awkward. Finally, he raised his chin arrogantly and said, "It's not bad. I'll just try to learn from you. That's it."
Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen looked at each other and suppressed their laughter. This kid is quite funny, but it's also a good thing that he talks more.
Dong Li's problem is not his brain or his body, but his spiritual trauma. I hope that after learning martial arts and getting in touch with more people, his personality will gradually become more cheerful.
"Want to learn this? You have to start with the basics." The third cousin laughed evilly, "Today I will squat in the horse stance. Once you are qualified in the horse stance, I will teach you the next step."
"Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?" Dong Li asked.
"Then do you want to study or not? If you don't study, I can train." The third cousin said.
Bai Banxia smiled and said to Dong Li: "Dong Li, you can't even practice the most basic skills, right?"
"Who said that? Just practice!" Dong Li agreed angrily.
The two of them went to practice the horse step. In order to teach by words and deeds, the third cousin practiced the horse step with Dong Li. However, the training time was different. After a while, Dong Li's face became distorted, while the third cousin was very relaxed.
On the other side, Qi Zhen had already led other officials to train. Dong Li saw those uncles and brothers practicing extra hard, and gritted his teeth and persevered.
"This kid is very perseverant." Bai Banxia whispered to Qi Zhen.
"With a firm mind and a temper, you will be a malleable person in the future." Qi Zhen replied.
"Think about it, Zhao Zhenzi is too cheap." Bai Banxia muttered.
Qi Zhen laughed, "How about I go scratch her face?"
Bai Banxia gave him an angry look, "You are too brave to say this in the county government, aren't you?"
"If you're unhappy, it's not just a matter of saying a word?" Qi Zhen said in a low voice.
"Hey, forget it, with so many people present today, her story must have spread, and there won't be any good consequences. Let her suffer the consequences." Bai Banxia said.
At the same time, in the Zhao family's house, Zhao Zhenzi's mother's mouth was swollen, and she said vaguely: "It's amazing to know the county magistrate? I don't believe it, it's unreasonable, I will go to the government office to sue her!"
"Excuse me!" Mr. Zhao slapped his hand on the table. "The whole street saw you going to hit someone, but you fell down. It's useless for you to go to the King of Heaven."
"Then my teeth will be white and broken?" Zhao Zhenzi's mother began to cry.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and the family was in a gloomy mood. The elder man of the Zhao family had no choice but to open the door again, only to find that the person who came was the matchmaker who had arranged matchmaking for his little sister a few days ago.
"Your family has a really good daughter. The Huang family said that she is not worthy of your precious son. This marriage is not counted. You should choose another son-in-law!" The matchmaker refused to enter, so she left at the gate after talking.
No matter how much the elder son of the Zhao family tried to persuade him, he could not stop it.
The Zhao family's house was so big that even the furthest house could hear the matchmaker's words clearly. Zhao Zhenzi hid in the house and burst into tears.
It's over, her marriage is just like this. She doesn't care about the Huang family at all. How can she talk about the marriage after it's okay?
After a while, the old lady from the Zhao family came back. She had been visiting relatives for the past two days and just missed the farce at home.
After Mrs. Zhao learned about the situation, she made a decision directly, "Zhenzi will marry Li Zhu from my relative's family. There is nothing left to choose."
Zhao Zhenzi rushed out of the house, crying: "I won't marry!"
"If you don't get married, will you be embarrassed if you stay at home?" Old Mrs. Zhao slapped her in the face, "You have almost ruined the good life at home, and now you are choosing to go to the temple to be a sister-in-law if you don't get married.
"
Zhen Ziniang wanted to help, but she was blocked by the old lady as soon as she opened her mouth, "Shut up, you are the star of the family who spoiled your daughter to no end. You can't live a good life, but you will go back and ruin other people's weddings. What harm will happen?"
The whole family was stabbed in the back."
Now no one dared to speak for me. Even the honest father Zhenzi sighed and nodded in agreement.
Zhao Zhenzi almost burst into tears. Li Zhu was a relative of her grandmother's family, and the family conditions were quite good. However, Li Zhu suffered from acne when he was a child. After he recovered, his face was left with a lot of pits. It can be said that his face was pockmarked.
And not only that, Li Zhu also has a problem. When he gets excited, he easily falls to the ground and foams at the ground. The doctor said that this disease is difficult to cure, and it is not known whether it will be passed on to his children, so it is difficult for Li Zhu to marry him.
But the betrothal gifts given by the Li family were high. In the past, Zhao Zhenzi gave her grandmother an idea and asked the Li family to find a matchmaker to go to the Luo family to arrange a marriage. She wanted several brothers from the Luo family to get wives. Why didn't Luo Xiuer marry that pockmark?
It's a pity that the Luo family didn't agree, and now she has to marry Mazi, whom she once looked down upon...
But Zhao Zhenzi never expected that news came not long after that Li Zhu refused to marry her, saying that he would rather be a bachelor than marry a woman with bad character. Zhao Zhenzi was so angry that he tore off a few pieces of the veil. Of course, this is all a story later.
.
Over at the county government office, by the time the training was over, Dong Li's legs were trembling and he could hardly walk unsteadily.
"Let's go, let's take you home." Qi Zhen supported him.
Dong Li shook off his hand and said stubbornly, "I can walk by myself."
Bai Banxia grabbed Qi Zhen and signaled him to let him go.
So, everyone saw that Dong Li was walking hard, his legs shaking several times with each step, but they still gritted their teeth and walked out step by step.
After the three of them left, someone asked Zhang Tonglin curiously, "Who is that little guy? He seems to have a very strong character. When I was his age, I wasn't as persistent as him."
Zhang Tonglin told the story about Dong Li, and everyone was a little emotional. No wonder the people in Maple Village were protecting this child.
Bai Banxia and the others did not help Dong Li on their way back to Fengshu Village. Although the speed was much slower, they still allowed him to walk home on his own.
"When will you practice tomorrow?" Dong Li asked hurriedly when he saw Bai Banxia and the others were leaving.
Bai Banxia smiled and said, "I have a rest tomorrow. After dinner the day after tomorrow, you will come to our village for training. Can you come by yourself?"
"I will be ten years old after the Chinese New Year. I will be an adult from now on. What can't I do?" Dong Li said, holding up his chest.
"Okay, pay attention to rest. Your legs will hurt even more tomorrow. You can give them a gentle massage to relieve them." Bai Banxia explained before leaving.
Dong Li said with a dark face, "No, I'm not afraid of pain."
This child, Bai Banxia smiled helplessly, and returned to Houshan Village with Qi Zhen.
As soon as they entered the village, they saw a luxury carriage in the distance. Someone shouted to them: "Banxia, please go back and take a look. Someone is here to see you."
