Chapter 237 There Is Always Injustice in the World
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset. This is the life of country people.
Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaolong are no exception. The return of Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua in the past few days has affected the work at home. Now that everything at home is stable, it is time for life to return to its original track.
After eating, Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaolong took hoes and other things and prepared to work in the fields. Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua also rushed to help. Zhang Cai said with a smile: "There is nothing to do in the fields now. We are just going to the fields to take a look, weeding and so on. Seeing that autumn is coming to an end, you can just rest at home. When the autumn harvest comes in a few days, it will not be too late for you to help."
The two tried to grab the farm tools several times, but Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaolong stopped them. Seeing that they couldn't stand up to their father and brother, they stopped forcing them and watched them go to the fields.
The two of them were sitting in the small courtyard, quietly watching their mother and sister-in-law being busy. Suddenly they felt a little out of place and didn't know what to do now. The two of them thought of practicing martial arts at the same time, but if they were practicing martial arts, what would they do at home? Is it better not to practice in the Piaomiao sect?
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua said: "Second brother, we have nothing to do at home, so why not go to the city to have a look. Although Lu Town is the closest town to our home, I haven't had a good stroll around it."
Zhang Xiaohu's eyes also lit up and he said: "What you said is very good. I'll take this opportunity to visit Mr. Li's family, let them know they're safe, and see if they have anything to say or bring."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "That's exactly what I wanted to say."
So the two of them got up and told their mother about the matter. Li Jinfeng had been to Guozhuang during the Chinese New Year. Guo Sufei had a good impression of him, and she heard that he also taught her son to read and read. She was even more happy. She took out some money and told Zhang Xiaohua to buy more gifts to bring to others. Zhang Xiaohua accepted them with a smile, and the two led the horses out. Before leaving, Guo Sufei specifically told her to come back quickly. If someone left a meal, she would also ask for it. After dinner, go back to Guozhuang.
Naturally, the two agreed repeatedly.
After leaving the village, the two men swung their stirrups and mounted their horses, and hurried to Lu Town.
During the meal, Lu Zhen was in sight. It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the sun was gradually getting hotter. There were also more people on the official road. The two brothers couldn't help but slow down their horses and entered slowly. Lu Town.
It had been two years since they had been to Lu Town. The two brothers looked around and saw that there were not many changes from before. Even the square where the New Year opera was performed was still the same, except that there were many hawkers and foot soldiers. There were stalls selling in the square, and it was very lively. In one corner of the square, there was even a sound of gongs, which must be acrobatics.
When Zhang Xiaohua heard the sound of the gong, he was unwilling to move. He had liked watching sideshows since he was a child. With such a beautiful thing in front of him, how could he not join in the fun?
Before he could reach the front, the sideshow place was surrounded by onlookers, three floors inside and three floors outside. Zhang Xiaohua was short, so of course he couldn't see him, and he was holding a horse, so he couldn't get in at will. Go in. Zhang Xiaohua looked around. There was an old tree nearby that neither of them could hold. He said hello to his second brother, led the horse and walked over. When the bay red horse was tied up, he looked around to see if there was no one there. When he was paying attention, a light body technique was used, and he immediately jumped up to the treetop and sat on the treetop. His body rose and fell with the branches, and he was as steady as Mount Tai. When Zhang Xiaohu saw it, he sighed in his heart: "You can only do martial arts competitions." How many days has it been? My brother didn’t even know how to do Qinggong, but now he can jump up to the treetops, so I have to catch up."
Zhang Xiaohu also tied up the maroon horse and climbed up the tree little by little. This country boy has learned the skill of climbing trees since he was a child. Even if he is not good at Qinggong, he can still climb up the tree easily.
At this time, there was another burst of gongs and cheers from the crowd. Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua quickly looked over. Sure enough, a little monkey with a red butt in the crowd was doing all kinds of ridiculous and exaggerated actions.
It's making people laugh. It's been a long time since I've seen a monkey playing. Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua watched it with gusto.
After the monkey finished playing, the little monkey actually took the gong and walked towards the crowd, asking for copper coins one by one. Some coins even fell into the gong. The monkey actually made a bowing gesture, which was even more shocking. There was a lot of laughter.
After begging for a round of money, the monkey returned the gong to its owner, begged for a piece of food from the owner, and devoured it. Then he squatted aside and scratched his ears and cheeks.
The juggler picked up the gong, banged it wildly for a while, and shouted: "Everyone, if you have money, you can support a money show, but if you don't have money, you can support a personal show. I am not talented, but I have a set of boxing skills passed down from my family and a pair of tricks." I don’t dare to treasure the plaster that heals wounds. Now I’m taking it out for everyone to appreciate. After I finish the boxing, I’ll ask you to take a look at the plaster passed down from our family. It has curative effects on bruises and bruises.”
Hearing what the juggler said, many people were about to leave. Seeing this, the man quickly stopped and said, "Okay, I'm going to show off my humiliation, everyone, please take a look."
This time it attracted a lot of attention, and they all stopped to look again.
The juggler adjusted his clothes and hat, tightened his belt, then made a hand gesture and started to perform boxing skills in the open space. Zhang Xiaohua was watching from a distance on the tree. When she saw the monkey resting and starting to catch lice, she felt regretful. She was about to jump off the branch. It was obvious that she was doing boxing again. It was still the boxing handed down from her family. She stopped again and looked towards Inside the venue.
The juggler was tall, with bulging muscles, and his boxing skills were very powerful and extraordinary. However, laymen watched the fun, and experts watched the doorway. After watching it for a moment, everyone cheered, but under Zhang Xiaohua and In Zhang Xiaohu's eyes, the boxing technique was full of flaws, but the boxing technique was still very unfamiliar and he had never seen it before. Zhang Xiaohu originally only practiced Liuhe Boxing, so it was understandable that he had never seen it. However, Zhang Xiaohua had read a lot of boxing manuals, but he had never seen it. It seemed that this boxing method was indeed inherited from his family and was rarely seen in the world.
The man was playing when he saw a corner to the east. The crowd was a little confused. Zhang Xiaohua stood tall, so he could naturally see far away, and his ears and eyes were smarter. He had already seen a short fat man with a few followers. , pushing towards the crowd.
When Zhang Xiaohua saw the fat man's face clearly, he couldn't help but bite his teeth together, making a "squeaking" sound. Zhang Xiaohu was enjoying watching the family's boxing technique. When he heard the sound, he noticed Zhang Xiaohua's strangeness and asked with concern. Said: "Xiaohua, what's wrong? Toothache!?"
Zhang Xiaohua calmed down, pointed at the fat man and said, "Second brother, which one is the short winter melon over there?"
When Zhang Xiaohu saw it clearly, he also laughed angrily and said: "There is no place to go after wearing iron shoes. I still want to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson. Now it is delivered to the door. It is really an eye-opener for God."
"But, this guy leads a lot of followers. Look at the middle-aged man in black clothes next to him. He walks like a dragon and has a steady foot. He must be his bodyguard. I don't know how good his martial arts are. Let's not 'You don't lose the rice by stealing the chicken,' but you get a lesson."
"This guy has always bullied men and dominated women. Since he is here, there must be right and wrong. Let's take a look first and then make a decision."
Just as he was talking, the juggler had finished his boxing and was covered in sweat. The man took off his shirt, revealing his muscles like stunners. He picked up the package from the ground and took out a few stacks of it. Put the plaster on the gong and sell it all over the place.
The fat, dark man walked to the sidelines and said in a loud voice: "Yuna man, show me your plaster. If it's better, I'll buy it all."
The man thought it was a big deal and hurriedly walked over with Xiao. The fat man said: "Let me tell you what effect this plaster of yours has."
The man said: "This is a secret recipe passed down from my family. It is made from precious herbs and specially used to treat bruises, fractures and other injuries. It is very magical. You will know after you take it home and try it."
The fat man said: "Young man, I would like to buy it, but I'm afraid of being deceived. Today's society is deteriorating, and each generation is worse than the last. Last time I bought a Dalmatian, but when I got home and took a shower, I realized that it was just a country dog." , who do you think I should talk to to reason with?"
The man smiled apologetically and said, "Young master, I'm just joking. I value credibility the most, and I definitely can't lie to others."
The fat man said: "It's best to try it on the spot. If it's really good, I'll take care of it all."
The man said: "I don't know if any of the patients here have injuries from bruises. Please come and give it a try."
The fat man smiled and said: "How can a sick person squeeze in? However, I have an idea. Do you want to try it?"
The man smiled and said, "Of course I'm willing to try it, but let's face it, if this plaster is effective, I would have to buy it all."
The fat man said strangely: "Master, do I seem to be someone who goes back on my word?"
The man apologized and said with a smile: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I have fifty plasters here. Each plaster costs five cents. Please count them."
After saying that, it’s time to go to the package and get another plaster.
The fat man waved his hand and said: "No, it's so troublesome, I believe you are."
After saying that, he took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and said: "I have thirty taels of silver notes here, which is more than enough to buy your plaster. If your plaster is effective, I will naturally buy them all."
The man was overjoyed and said: "Please tell me how to test the efficacy of this plaster."
But the fat man continued: "Don't ask about the experimental method yet, I have another request to make."
"Sir, please speak." The man said in confusion.
The fat man said shamelessly: "My request is, what if your plaster doesn't work? How can you compensate me?"
The juggler was stunned, and said with an apologetic smile: "Master, listen to me, if this plaster is ineffective, I will naturally not dare to accept a penny from you, so how can I compensate you?"
