When Shen Xuanqing broke Lu Daxiang's leg, Lu Gu didn't see him. He passed out and was sent to the home of the herbal medicine doctor.

At this moment, Huang Da, whose face was covered with blood, was lying on the ground and broke his right leg. He didn't even have the strength to howl, let alone crawl forward. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he fainted from the pain after a few strokes. In the past, Lu Gu couldn't even speak when he saw this scene.

Everyone else was stunned, but Shen Xuanqing, who threw the wooden stick, was the calmest. He bent down and stretched out his hand under Huang Da's nose, breathing in and out, so it was obvious that he was just dizzy.

This low-ranking bastard has his own life.

"Shen Xuanqing, you!" Wei Lanxiang had to call out his full name.

Shen Xuanqing gradually calmed down, and argued in a muffled voice: "He's not dead."

Wei Lanxiang hated his stubborn temper so much that she gritted her teeth, she didn't say anything stubborn, she was still strong, and several people couldn't hold her back, but the matter had come to this point, it was useless to scold him, she looked at Huang Dazhi who was on the ground Sighing, he said, "How can this be done?"

"Leave him alone." Shen Xuanqing saw the wooden stick on the ground and picked it up again. It belonged to someone else's house and had to be returned.

"Whatever?" Wei Lanxiang raised her voice and frowned.

"A few years ago, when he was caught on the spot and turned over to the government, one of his hands would have been chopped off. He has stolen so many times over the years. It is also far from the government, and the people in the village are kind. , did not sue him to the government, chickens, ducks, melons and vegetables are worthless, but there is a lot if they accumulate too much. In terms of the sum of the price, he might be sentenced to beheaded. Today he only cut off his leg, so why bother him? "

Shen Xuanqing was not afraid, and said: "He is a thief by nature, if he really dares to sue, just report the fact that he stole things again and again, even if he kills the master in the government, he will not care."

This is also because Huang Da is a native of the village, if a thief comes from another village, the villagers will beat him lightly, but if he meets a village that is not easy to mess with, he can cut off his fingers.

Their Daxia law is like this, it's not that Shen Xuanqing is talking nonsense.

If someone steals and catches a thief, the government will not forgive them lightly. It will be calculated according to the price of the stolen thing. If it is light, the hands will be cut off, and if it is heavy, it will be beheaded for public display, so that the world will be alert and not be the thief who stole.

It is written in the law that, in addition to thieves, adulterers who have affairs with married women or husbands, if these two kinds of people are caught on the spot, they will not pay for their lives, at most they will be given to the thief Compensation for some money, as for the adulterer, the family members dare not let others pay for it if they are beaten to death, otherwise the reputation of the family and relatives will be rotten.

Others don't tell this truth, at least Lin Zhong knows it.

But the law is the law, and when the countrymen catch a thief, they usually beat them severely so that they will not dare to commit crimes again, unless there are too many people who do it, or the men are too ruthless, so there is a possibility of accidentally beating them to death.

It was also Wei Lanxiang who was always kind-hearted and didn't want to get involved in the family, so he hesitated and softly. Hearing what Shen Xuanqing said, he thought it was true. Breaking the thief's leg was indeed not against the law, so he felt a little relieved.

But if she knew that Huang Da had taken advantage of Lu Gu in terms of words, she would have wished for Shen Xuanqing to beat him to death. Lu Gu and Ji Qiuyue are their daughters-in-law, so how could a bum speak wild words, it's a pity. Shen Xuanqing couldn't say it in public, otherwise Lu Gu would lose his reputation.

Lin Zhongcai saw that the matter was over, so he came out to stir up the mud and the matter turned into a big deal, and said with his hands behind his back, "Okay, next time if he dares to be a thief and steal in the village again, he will really be sent to the government to have his hands chopped off."

Seeing the unconcealable joy on the faces of the women and husbands, he took another look at Huang Da on the ground, filled with disgust. This kind of bastard is usually a thief, his internal organs are black, and he is obscene, even if he doesn't Go to inquire more, and vaguely know what nasty things Huang Da has done in the village, but this kind of thing can't be brought to the table easily, otherwise it will ruin other people's reputation, and those who know will have to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

There are female relatives in his family, especially the youngest daughter has grown up, and the granddaughter will grow up in the future, so he will naturally be wary of people like Huang Da, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, but because he has not been caught in the past few years Huang Da's real situation is not good and he took the opportunity to explode.

The mansion and the city are far away, and the official high mansion is instinctively fearful for ordinary peasants, whoever has nothing to do will not run into the mansion, so Huang Da was not sent in before.

Now that Lin Zhongcai said so, Wei Lanxiang can feel relieved.

"Uncle Wei." Shen Xuanqing returned the stick to Wei Mingjiang.

"Ah?" Wei Mingjiang just saw that he was so ruthless, he was blinded, and he said "oh" after he took the wooden stick in his hand, and looked down, fortunately there was no Huang Da's blood on the stick.

"Mother, I'm going back." Shen Xuanqing didn't look at Huang Da who was on the ground, but sighed slightly when she saw Lu Gu's face covered with water, and it was difficult to hold hands with so many people outside, so she lightly grabbed Lu Gu's wrist and went home.

The cub ran back with the two of them, and Wei Lanxiang behind him took a look at Huang Da, but under Shen Xuanqing's urging, he finally ignored it.

In the end, it was Lin Zhong who waved his hand and called Huang Da's uncle who had lost contact with him to carry him back to the hut, otherwise no one would want to carry him, and Huang Da couldn't just lie on the road like this. Wouldn't it be bad luck if he died here? How will others walk in the future.

He Zhi came over to pick up the bamboo basket, and he did the same when besieging Huang Da, and avenged Chen Dongdong for stealing the fish, with a smile on his tanned face.

Just now Ji Qiuyue and Chen Dongdong saw it at the door of their house. Seeing that Lu Gu's face was covered with tears and Shen Xuanqing's hands and sleeves were still bloody, she quickly scooped up a basin of water for them both to wash.

Shen Xuanqing pressed Lu Gu to squat down, let him wash his face first, saw him looking at his hands, and explained: "I didn't hurt, it's Huang Da's blood."

"Really?" Lu Gu asked with a crying nasal voice.

"Really, you wash it quickly, I can wash my hands after washing." He laughed now.

Ji Qiuyue was careful, and went to get a cloth towel while Lu Gu was washing his face.

Shen Xuanqing squatted beside him to watch him wash his face. After thinking of one thing, he said: "I saw people washing their face and hands standing up in the town, which is more convenient than squatting. Later, I will find a carpenter to make a tub stand."

Lu Gu took a handful of water and was washing it, so he could only hum in a muffled voice.

"Here." Ji Qiuyue handed him the cloth towel.

When wiping his face, Shen Xuanqing dipped his hands in the water, and the blood scattered in the water.

After the white foam from the wild bath beads was washed off, Lu Gu saw that there was no wound on his hands, so he felt comforted in his heart.

Wei Lanxiang came back and watched from the side, and couldn't help but said: "You, don't make a fuss in the future, Da Chen's house was stolen not as hard as you, and it wasn't that our house was stolen, Da Chen even persuaded Don't make a fuss, what is this?"

"They're all married, and they're not too young. If you're not a kid who ran wild in the past, you can't grow your brains? If something happens to someone who beats someone up, how will you let us live?"

She babbled and reprimanded Shen Xuanqing, and when she was excited, she wanted to reach out and poke her second son's forehead, but Shen Xuanqing was too tall, unlike Shen Yan, who could poke her with her hand, but retracted her extended finger to give up.

Shen Xuanqing kept silent every time she was scolded, and Lu Gu dared not speak now.

"Mother, that Huang Da is a rotten person, so he will be beaten if he is beaten. Besides, the second brother always knows how to measure, and he will never mess around. Don't worry too much, mother." Ji Qiuyue came up to smooth things over. She is now pregnant, and her words are called One good thing, Wei Lanxiang glared at Shen Xuanqing, and stopped talking.

"Mother, I have my reasons for doing it, and I didn't do it randomly." Shen Xuanqing followed Ji Qiuyue's words in order to reassure Wei Lanxiang.

He wanted to say that Huang Dan's words offended Lu Gu, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it, why drag Lu Gu into such a bad thing again.

Wei Lanxiang was persuaded by Ji Qiuyue for a while, and the nerve in her heart turned around. In the past two years, Shen Xuanqing has indeed become mature and stable. The few fights were caused by others first. Today, I am afraid that Huang Da will be cruel. Something is going on.

After thinking about it, she asked, "Erqing, tell mother..."

"Mother, it's not a big deal. I saw Huang Da wandering around behind our house yesterday. If it wasn't for the dog at home, he might have stolen it at night. Today is just to give him a long memory. Originally, I didn't want to make a big move. But he was beaten and unconvinced, and he was trying to slander Guzi's reputation, and you didn't hear it when you weren't there."

Shen Xuanqing told a lie, and was afraid that Wei Lanxiang would be too soft-hearted, so she told Huang Da a lot of nonsense.

Destroying a person's reputation is not a trivial matter. If a man doesn't say anything, gossip will kill the wife and husband. Even the family members will not be able to hold their heads up in the future. He frowned and cursed angrily: "This shameless bastard! You should be beaten!"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, if I knew it earlier, I would break his other leg." She was so angry that she covered her heart, and Ji Qiuyue quickly stroked her heart to help her calm down.

"Mother, don't be too angry, it's not that you've already hit him, if he dares to talk nonsense later, I'll deal with him again." Shen Xuanqing also persuaded.

Lu Gu ran into the main room and poured a bowl of warm water, brought it out and whispered, "Mother, you drink water."

Wei Lanxiang breathed a sigh of relief, took the bowl and drank a few sips to calm down. She was still thinking just now, if Huang Da was killed by no one to eat and drink, would this life be counted as Shen Xuanqing's head? Qiuyue is pregnant, and she has to accumulate some virtue for the unborn child, so it's better to take something to see.

And now let alone look at it, Huang Da is dead, it's good if she doesn't spit on the corpse, she's a bad seed that loses her conscience!Death is called retribution!

"What's going on?" Shen Yaoqing hurried back with a hoe on his shoulder. He was working in the field just now, when someone passed by the field and said that Shen Xuanqing was fighting with someone, he hurried back.

Wei Lanxiang found someone to talk to, and learned the matter while braving the fire, but no one else could get in the way. After she finished speaking, she vented, and thinking of Huang Da's broken leg, she felt a little more at ease.

After the chaos and yelling in the yard, it finally calmed down.

Lu Gu was cleaning up the rabbit dung in the woodshed, when he heard Shen Yan and Da Hui driving the duck back outside, shouting, "Yanyan?"

"It's me." Shen Yan agreed.

The puppies are barking and making trouble, and the sound of ducks flapping their wings can be heard obviously, so they must be hiding from the good boy.

After eating at noon, Lu Gu and Shen Yan fed the chickens and dried the hay. Shen Yaoqing took Ji Qiuyue for a walk by the river and on the gentle slopes to relieve boredom. He was afraid that eating too much food would be bad for his health. Wei Lanxiang sat under the eaves and sewed Children's clothes, only Shen Xuanqing disappeared when he went out, he didn't say where he was going, the family was very busy, and no one cared to see if he was at home when he was working.

Qingxi Village is a village of mixed surnames. There are families who have fled from the disaster, and some have moved from the mountains. When they gather together, they gradually become a village.

Now the houses built by the villagers are better than before, but there are still some old houses scattered around the village that have not been demolished or pushed down.

Huang Da's house was still that shabby hut, his parents had died a long time ago, his hands and feet were not clean, and he never forgot to take sheep with him when he went to relatives' houses, so his uncle's family didn't even care about him after they brought him back, and left directly, for fear of being trapped by him .

Speaking of which, his father, who does not know a single word, came up with it after thinking about it for a long time. The country people are poor, and the only thing they can think of is to make more money and turn the dilapidated thatched house into a blue tile house. It is a pity that his father When he was dying, he lived in a broken thatched hut, without even seeing half of the blue tiles.

I don't know how long after he fainted, Huang Da gradually woke up, only to feel the pain of his broken leg, the blood on his face was still there, it seemed to have scabs when it dried on his face, and when he rubbed it hard, it turned into powder and fell off .

"The son of a bitch." He rubbed the bloody scabs around his eyes, and cursed as soon as he woke up.

Huang Da was not good-looking at all, and if he was upright and energetic, he could still see it, but his eyes were always wandering, looking at who had something, and when he went to town, he always stared at people's purses and purses. Everyone knows that he is not a good person when he sees him, he clutches his purse tightly and walks away quickly, even if the woman or husband shows his wrists and arms a little, he can stare at him, his small eyes emit an evil light, and he doesn't know where he is. Think about something nasty.

At this time, his face was covered with blood, and his broken leg hurts when he moved a little. His forehead was sweating, and the sweat and dirt were mixed together. His mouth was not clean, and he looked even more obscene.

Now that it's hot, it's noon, he still has a foul smell from his body that hasn't bathed all year round, and the clothes on his body are also filthy, but he doesn't seem to be able to smell it himself, and his heart is full of resentment.

"Okay, Shen Xuanqing, let me catch you, if you have to beat me, kneel down and call grandpa." He scratched his neck and cursed angrily, his voice broke due to excitement.

"Hiss." Huang Da felt much refreshed after cursing, and then hissed softly because of the pain in his leg.

His leg should be broken, and there is no one to serve him. If he wants to eat and drink, he has to ask the herbal doctor to heal his leg, and he has to crawl over it.

"Who is who?"

Huang Da was thinking about what to do, when he heard this sentence suddenly, when he turned his head and saw Shen Xuanqing who was sitting a few steps away, he screamed "Ah" in fright, his eyes widened immediately, as if he had seen a ghost, he was stunned Baba said: "You you you you...how did you get in?"

He was lying on a moldy wooden bed that was half rotten. He didn't move much when he woke up. He didn't hear any sound. Even the sound of inhaling and exhaling was only his own. and others.

Shen Xuanqing has practiced hunting skills all over. When setting traps and waiting for the prey to enter the trap, she has to hide in the woods or lie on the ground without moving. smell, or smear the clothes and body with tree sap, so as to confuse the nose of wild animals.

He has been a teacher for more than three years, and he is becoming more and more proficient in various skills. If he really doesn't want people to hear any movement, he can never make a sound, move still, and breathe only slightly.Huang Da couldn't even match the physical strength and eyesight of ordinary farmers, let alone find him here.

But Huang Da didn't even turn his head when he woke up, he only focused on cursing and venting his anger, letting others see it in a blink of an eye.

There was wind leaking everywhere in the shabby hut, and the dilapidated tables, chairs and benches were either lame or rickety. Shen Xuanqing sat on the only good long bench. It leaked from the hole in the straw wall, and it was difficult to see his expression against the light.

Seeing that Huang Da finally looked over, he turned the dagger in his hand around, raised his legs and looked sideways, and asked coldly, "Who is who?"

With a turn of the blade, a cold light was projected. Huang Da was almost scared to death, his legs were trembling, and he immediately confessed: "Grandpa, grandpa, spare your life, spare your life..."

Shen Xuanqing put down her raised legs and reached out to take something from the table next to her. The table with four legs at different heights shook a few times.

Huang Da saw clearly that he had a short knife and iron pliers in his hand, he gasped in shock, sat up with his hands propped on the rotten bed, and wanted to move out, but Shen Xuanqing came and kicked him down again, stepping on He leaned forward with his chest.

"Forgive me, forgive me..." Huang Da was trampled on his chest, and the gleaming short knife slapped him on the face a few times. The sharp blade seemed to be chilling, and it was so sharp and glaring in the corner of his eyes, even if he wanted to exert all his strength She didn't even dare to lift Shen Xuanqing's legs.

The cold tip of the knife suddenly stuck into his mouth when he was begging for mercy, his tongue was scratched before he could escape, and his mouth was full of bloody taste.

Huang Da was like a chicken being strangled, with a short clucking sound from his throat, and he dared not close his mouth wide open.

Shen Xuanqing originally leaned slightly, but when he opened his mouth, he leaned back. The smell was so strong that it was so disgusting that people could spit it out.

Taking advantage of Huang Da's opening mouth, he withdrew the dagger in his right hand, and the iron tongs in his left hand quickly clamped Huang Da's tongue.

The smell of iron mixed with the smell of blood spread in his mouth, Huang Da whined twice, his expression became more frightened after his tongue was tightly clamped, his small eyes widened to the extreme, and Shen Xuanqing was reflected in his pupils. Cold eyes.

"The wind is strong, and the tongue is easy to slip, so it's better to cut it off." His tone was the same as that of ordinary people, and the short knife came up again, and the blade swiped at Huang Da's tongue that was pinched out.

"Woohoo." Huang Da burst into tears in fright, shaking his head and trying to break free from the iron tongs in his mouth. After realizing that the blade was cutting his tongue, he didn't even dare to move. When he cut his tongue, his wide eye sockets almost burst open.

There are many similarities between Orion and Butcher. Bloodletting and peeling are used to the blood. Shen Xuanqing cut his tongue without hesitation. At this time, Huang Da is just a prey to be slaughtered in his eyes, and it is still quite worthless. kind.

The blade cut into the soft flesh of the tongue, and the blood mixed with the disgusting saliva dripped continuously.

Suddenly, Shen Xuanqing smelled a strong smell of urine, frowned tightly, let go of her hand in disgust, and walked away a few steps.

His tongue was no longer being pulled by the iron tongs. Huang Da's head hit the wooden board, tears and snot running down his face, and his mouth was still bleeding. His tongue was cut and his speech became slurred, but he still desperately begged for mercy. Unable to turn over, I wish I could knock my head eight hundred times to beg for mercy.

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore..."

Shen Xuanqing recognized what he was talking about, and only said: "There will be no next time."

Huang Da nodded his head like a pounding garlic. After this experience, his courage was frightened, let alone Shen Xuanqing, he would not even dare to meet Lu Gu in the future.

After Shen Xuanqing got out of the hut and couldn't see his figure anymore, he fell limply on the wooden bed as if he lost his strength, his trembling legs and feet could barely stabilize, he wanted to cry and cry what evil he had done, but he couldn't even say a word clear.

riverside.

Shen Xuanqing rinsed the short knife and iron tongs in the water for a long time. Although killing the thief does not cost him his life, he got the stolen goods. Huang Da didn't steal anything today, it was an excuse for him and Da Chen to find fault, and there was no stolen goods. To testify, it is naturally not easy to kill.

A thief's feet are slippery, and he often haunts at night. He doesn't have the time to squat on Huang Da, so he might as well beat him up while he's still in the village.

But Huang Da absolutely shouldn't, shouldn't offend Lu Gu by speaking obscene words.

This world is not peaceful, let's not talk about Lu Gu, there is still Shen Yan in his family who has not left the pavilion, Shen Yan often releases ducks by the river, sometimes she is alone, now that Shen Yan has grown up, in two or three years, she will say goodbye, When you go out, you have to guard against it.

It was also this incident that reminded him. When Shen Yan went out, he had more or less family members follow him. Two people are better than being alone. Anyway, the ducks are released behind the house, not far away, and Ji Qiuyue can go with him.

Huang Da is a coward who is cowardly, but Bao Buqi will become daring soon. In conscience, there are several grown-up girls and Shuang'er in the village, which one is not a clean and good family, don't Don't mention it to the old men, this kind of restless and kind-hearted bastard has to be scared away first, at least they don't dare to mess around in Qingxi Village.

In fact, he never thought of killing people. Who would want to take a human life on his back?Besides, Ji Qiuyue is pregnant, and if their family wants to add a new child, they can't kill them.

Cutting off his tongue was just a scare, he only cut in a little bit, originally he felt angry after breaking Huang Da's leg, but after Wei Lanxiang told Shen Yaoqing about it again, he remembered the disgusting words that guy said to Lu Gu, The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the other party was too cheap. Moreover, Huang Da passed out after his leg was broken. He didn't know if this person had a long memory, so he just came over to have a look.

As soon as he came here, he really heard Huang Da scolding him behind his back, and he couldn't help but clean up.

Shen Xuanqing swung the dagger and iron tongs in the river water, the water splashed, and the dirt was washed away. Then he picked up the drenched knife and tongs, got up, shook the water droplets on his hands, and walked home.

After the age of 15, he seldom fights with others. The last time he fought was at the Lu family. The Lu family took 20 taels of silver. Due to the power of the Li family, he could only endure it. Lu Daxiang's leg was broken as soon as he came up, and the money could not be returned, and the Lu family could not use it for food and drink, and taking medicine for injuries was the most expensive.

A few days ago, he had heard a recent joke about Lu's family. Lu Daxiang was crippled and never recovered, but the money was in Du Hehua's hands, and he didn't want to give him more medical treatment. Now it is common fun in Anjia Village to quarrel for three days and five days for money.

And Du Hehua dared to quarrel with Lu Daxiang and relied on Lu Wen. She said that she was short-sighted, and she showed off that she had a rich and powerful uncle in Anjia Village, but Lu Wen was a concubine, let alone old lady Zhang. Even Li Mingshan had never been to Anjia Village once, and he never regarded them as mother-in-law and relatives. Aren't the country folks all stupid, and those who have seen the way are laughing at her behind her back.

As soon as he turned into the village, Shen Xuanqing saw the pups playing with the pack of dogs. There were too many people, so he pinned the sheathed dagger and iron tongs behind his waist, not deliberately showing them.

"Wow!" The puppy ran over excitedly, his ears were dangling, it seemed that he was having fun.

"Where have you been?" He asked Lu Gu as soon as he entered the door and put the rabbit cage on the ground.

"Turning around the river." Shen Xuanqing replied, there is no need to tell Lu Gu about those dirty things.

Rabbits often live in the firewood house, and they are taken out every few days to see the sun, and placed in the semi-shade to let them breathe, otherwise it will be too humid.

The six little rabbits born last winter were already half-grown, the nest was thickly cushioned, and a brazier was set on fire at the coldest time. There were eleven live ones, quite a few, Lu Gu stuffed them with grass, and looked up at Shen Xuanqing after he was busy.

"What's wrong?" He felt a little strange, and even his eyes became worried.

Shen Xuanqing smiled and said, "It's okay, but the hair is dirty, and I want you to boil some water."

It turned out to be this, what is so difficult about boiling water, Lu Gu saw the bright smile in his eyes, so he also bent his eyebrows and showed a shallow smile.
