Liang Qu went home to find some clean clothes to change into, and then trotted all the way towards Pingyang Town. The leaves piled up on both sides of the road were getting thicker and thicker, with red and yellow on the upper layer and dark brown on the lower layer. The wind blew on his body like an ice knife, but Liang Qu felt that he was full of energy, neither cold nor hot, and the burning thing in his chest was called passion. Liang Qu looked up, and the huge sunset was falling little by little, reflecting his pupils into a brilliant red and gold color. The sunset took away the sunlight from the earth little by little, and the crimson forest turned black and red. Soon the night would fall, and this was the last sunset. He suddenly felt that this world was not bad, there was no pollution, no cage, and the air was even fresher. A short period of desolation is not a bad thing. As long as the direction is right, frying and boiling are ways to make it delicious, and so is cheering. There will always be a day to get ahead. "Roar!" Liang Qu shouted. The mule pulling the cart on the side of the road was frightened and dragged the cart to run into the forest. The driver whipped it several times before returning to the right path and cursed: "Stupid."
Has this word appeared so early? Liang Qu was stunned, but he was not angry. He just smiled back. Seeing this, the driver left cursing and felt that he had really met a fool. Arriving in Pingyang Town, Liang Qu estimated that Li Libo and Chen Jiechang should be hungry, so he bought a few buns and came to Yang's martial arts hall from a familiar shortcut. The gate of the martial arts hall was brightly lit. There was a big oil lamp a few meters after entering, and a lantern every ten meters. Liang Qu carried the oil paper bag and walked through the corridor with ease. There were a lot more people in the martial arts arena, about fifty or so. Many people would go home to practice after learning boxing, and meet again at the end of the month. The thirty people I saw on the day of registration were not all of them. It seems that there were no serious martial arts masters in the crowd, but apprentices. Liang Qu thought that the martial artists might have something to do, or that they had gone to see Master Yang in advance, so he didn't think much about it. However, many people glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. "Strange, why are they all looking at me?" Liang Qu was puzzled. He was down and out, and no one usually paid attention to him. He was willing to make friends with him, but they wouldn't stare at him. Was he late? He remembered that he got up late once in high school and was caught by the head teacher who came to catch the morning reading. Many good classmates pretended to read books but actually watched a play, just like now. Liang Qu had to pretend that he didn't see it, and went to the corner of the flower bed alone to find Li Libo and Chen Jiechang. Hearing footsteps, the two raised their heads, and when they saw Liang Qu, they lowered their heads at the same time, but they couldn't hide the bruises on their eye sockets and swollen cheeks. Knowing that the two liked to make each other feel uncomfortable, Liang Qu thought they had gone too far: "What's going on? Did you two fight? So cruel?" The two looked at each other and were silent. Liang Qu realized something was wrong, squatted down and whispered: "What's going on?" Silence for a moment.
Chen Jiechang broke the silence. The swollen cheeks made his voice unclear: "After you left, Lu Tingcai brought a group of people to ask us for money, saying that we smelled and affected their martial arts practice, and asked for two taels of silver each to compensate. We were so angry that we fought with them." Two taels? ! Liang Qu was shocked. This is asking for money? This is asking for his life! "What about the surname Lu?" Liang Qu had no respect for Lu Shaohui, and his chest was even more furious, "And Brother Xiang, didn't you look for him? Brother Xiang should help, right?" "The surname Lu didn't even look at us." Li Libo gritted his teeth, "He turned around and left! Brother Xiang is nowhere to be found. From noon until now, we are the only apprentices left in the martial arts hall." Liang Qu couldn't believe it. How could it be such a coincidence today? "Originally, I knocked one person unconscious first, and with Brother Chen, two against three, we didn't lose much, but then three more people came to help them, and we lost." Chen Jiechang snorted when he heard this, he was very dissatisfied, he could have seriously injured Xue Dingyi, who would have thought that the other party had helpers, and in the end he only pinched a few bloody marks on Xue Dingyi's neck. "Now they want us to collect ten taels of silver, otherwise they will come to us every day to "spar", tsk~" Chen Jiechang laughed at himself, he didn't regret it, but regretted that the three people behind came too quickly, so he didn't have the opportunity to strangle Xue Dingyi to death. It's useless to say anything now, he sighed: "We two have discussed it, the fight was because of us, so we make up for the extra four taels." Li Libo nodded, they all felt a little guilty, thinking that they had to go up to fight, causing one person to become more than three taels, Liang Qu's family was already in a bad situation, so naturally they had to make up for the extra gap. There was silence in the corner of the flower bed. Without human voices, the crickets in the flowerbed felt safe again and chirped intermittently. The sound was not clear, but rather seemed very old. It was early winter now, and mid-winter would come in less than half a month. The cricket could no longer chirp - it was dying, perhaps freezing to death on a night when the temperature dropped sharply. In the martial arts arena, people who were exchanging and exercising often looked down at the corner of the flowerbed that they had never paid attention to. There were jokes, indifference, and some people found it interesting. The third son of the Zhao family, dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, looked at the flowerbed and then at another corner, where Lu Tingcai and Xue Dingyi and others who were stirring up trouble were. Those people were also silent. With things going so far, could they get any benefits? Impossible. Zhao Xueyuan knew very well that they would be punished, and punished more severely. In the past, this group of people could receive protection fees because the bullied people dared not say anything, and when there was a martial arts master, they basically fought outside the martial arts hall. People at the bottom are used to being inferior, and they are born to be afraid of people of higher and lower positions. After being deceived by Lu Tingcai's rhetoric, they don't think that the martial arts master who is high above them will help them.
Most people will not think of reporting to the police when they suffer losses, right? Relying on the tricks of deception, Lu Tingcai and his men have always been successful, but they didn't expect that they would encounter two tough guys who took the initiative to attack an old student and hit him with a brick. I just don't know whether the last apprentice of this fellow villager is hard or soft. Zhao Xueyuan is very curious. At this time, Lu Tingcai and others knew that they had made a big mistake, but the young people were so angry that they didn't care so much. The matter basically couldn't be concealed. Now they are desperate and asked for a more ruthless price, like desperate gamblers, more dangerous than at any time. The difference is that Li Libo and Chen Jiechang are still buried in the drum. No one reminded them, everyone was watching the show. The yellow earth rammed martial arts field was illuminated by the oil lamps. Liang Qu stood up, and the light stretched his shadow very long, casting it on the wall, flickering slightly. Li Libo and Chen Jiechang couldn't help but look up and saw Liang Qu handing out an oil paper bag. "Take it." "This is..." "Take it!" The crickets in the flower bed fell silent. Li Libo and Chen Jiechang took it, feeling the warmth inside the oil paper bag, and guessed that it was food. Liang Qu turned and walked towards the center of the martial arts field. Everyone cast their eyes. Liang Qu looked around. He had never been here before, let alone enjoyed such a remarkable treatment. Tired, Really tired. I used to work overtime until midnight, tired like a dog, but not as tired as now. From bald Zhang, to the three Wang brothers, and the monster in the water. The whole society is like an airtight net, trapping all those who want to climb up. Everyone who tries to get through is squeezed into the narrow hole with a hideous face and blurred flesh. Those spiders, poisonous insects, and centipedes hang on the nodes of the big net one after another, waiting for the bloody prey to struggle exhausted and fight for blood. Liang Qu looked at the corner on the other side.
Everyone was there, Lu Tingcai, Xue Dingyi, Yu Weilong, Xiang Quji... These... poisonous insects! Liang Qu's eyes suddenly changed, becoming very quiet, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the seven people. "I want to fight with you!" The martial arts field suddenly became silent as death. "Hahaha..." Someone laughed out loud. Liang Qu had a blank expression on his face and stared at the man. "Ahem." The atmosphere was dead silent again. Lu Tingcai and others had to stand up under the pressure of their eyes. They actually regretted it, especially Xue Dingyi, who regretted his impulsiveness, but his brothers were all beaten up at that time, so how could they think so much. But facing such arrogant provocation, it would be too cowardly to sit there any longer. "Are you alone?" Lu Tingcai, with a white gauze wrapped around his head, looked very funny, but with the six people behind him, no one would find it funny, "You can't figure out your own..." So mean. Liang Qu felt that his chest was stuffy, as if he was blocked by depression. He patted his chest hard, and it hurt, and the pain suppressed all the anger. "I am enough! I can defeat all of you, all of you!"
