I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

"Haha...that's right. A man who knows how to adapt to changing times is a hero. You are worthy of being a scholar." After saying that, the old man took a step forward.

"Go," my father ordered.

Li Long grabbed the old man Li's neck from the side and threw him over his shoulder, subduing him and knocking him to the ground. Zhao Zhengming waved the machete in his hand to stop the two lackeys from coming forward. The uncle was a little slower, but with his taller stature, he also hugged one.

"Tell them to stop, or I'll kill you," the father kicked Old Man Li on the ground.

"You...you dare to hit me, but you didn't dare to touch me in Youfangping." Old man Li hasn't come to his senses yet. It seems that he has been a local tyrant for too long and can't recognize the situation.

"Pa, pa," Li Long slapped him twice in a row.

"Ouch, ouch, stop hitting me, you little bastards, stop it now, I'm being beaten to death," Old Man Li howled.

"Stop it," the father shouted.

The one in front who was entangled with Zhao Zhengming, because both of them had weapons, they fought back and forth for a few times, but neither of them could subdue the other. My uncle risked being hit on the back by a stick before he hugged the one behind him. The two were entangled and wrestling, and neither of them had fallen to the ground. My uncle had eaten a full meal at noon, and although he was thin, he was taller. His opponent was stronger, so for the time being, neither of them could do anything to the other.

Hearing the roar, the two stopped exerting force, began to loosen their grip, and retreated. At this time, Old Man Li had tied his hands behind his back with leggings.

"Get up," Father kicked Old Man Li.

“Ouch… Ouch…” Old man Li bounced on the ground a few times and finally managed to get up. It was only after Li Long grabbed the rope on his back and kicked him that he was able to get up. He staggered and almost fell down again. His body was covered in blood and there were several red marks on his face.

"Boss, is there any paper in the house? Bring it over and use it." There was no other paper, only a few sheets of straw paper used for visiting graves during the New Year.

"Father, there is paper and pen in your bag." This pen was made by him for the kids who went to night school. Sometimes he would need it urgently. It was made of a bamboo tube with black charcoal inside. He added a little ink powder, some fine clay and flour, mixed it with water, and made a black carbon stick that could be used to write on wooden boards. It was similar to a pencil, but very thick. He asked Brother Zhengming to take a gun and go to the other side of the mountain to fire a shot to send a message, so that Hu Laosi could bring his team to support him. There would definitely be tough battles to come. After all, it was someone else's territory that bullied a local rich man, and he would definitely be retaliated.

"Scholar, please let me go. I don't want the debt anymore. I tore up the real IOU before, and the one I got today was written by me. This fake IOU without a signature or seal is all my fault. I admit my mistake to you," Old Man Li recovered and began to beg for mercy.

"Don't worry, I'll make you a real IOU later and I'll pay you the money," said my father.

He took out a pen and paper and began to write the IOU on the stone under the eaves, "I owe Du Zongyi one hundred dollars, Li Chongfu", and a simple IOU was formed.

"Li Long, give it to old man Li and put his fingerprint on it to make it a real IOU," the father shouted.

"Okay," he took the IOU and grabbed Old Man Li's hand.

"There's no cinnabar left," Li said after taking a look.

"There's a knife," Du Chenyu said on his father's back.

“Uh,…” What a stupid brain! He took out a small knife from his waist and cut old man Li’s thumb.

"Ouch... Ouch... It hurts so much," Old man Li struggled in pain.

"Don't move." He kicked the knee and Old Man Li knelt down. He grabbed his thumb and put a firm thumb print on it.

"Captain Jia, do you think it's okay?" Old man Li handed it to my father.

"Old man Li, seeing there is no IOU, you either pay the money now or get beaten. It is only natural to pay back debts. Of course you have to pay back even if you get beaten," the father raised the IOU in his hand.

"I'm out of money. I left in a hurry this morning and only have a few dollars in my pocket, which are the leftovers from gambling yesterday," said Old Man Li anxiously.

"Bang", came from the distance, I knew it was a gunshot. There is a difference between firecrackers and gunshots. Besides, the ridge over there is not far from Hu Laosi and the others, so they can definitely tell them apart. These were all told to me in the morning.

"It's okay if they don't have money. Let one of them go back and bring the money to the big field over there. I'll release you if you pay me. Otherwise, I can only take you away temporarily," said the father.

"Niu Wazi, go back and ask your wife to prepare money, otherwise I will die," Old Man Li ordered.

Grandpa also breathed a sigh of relief, and grandma and mothers had come out to watch the fun. Everyone had a look of fear on their faces, but it was the first time they saw their son-in-law so powerful, so they didn't dare to stop him.

"Dad, we have to let the grandmas move away, move to our place and we will raise them. Otherwise, they will be in danger when we leave," he said in his father's ear.

"Dad, Mom, I have no choice but to deal with what happened today. The Li family is too bullying, so I have to fight back. Also, you definitely can't live here anymore, so why don't you move to our place and stay for a few days. I promise to provide food for you two, and I won't let you two go hungry. Besides, dad will be very happy too, and the third and fourth sons can also take this opportunity to read some books," said the father sincerely.

"Hey, it's us who have implicated you. You were living a good life, but now we've dragged you into this. Old woman, let's just listen to Decai. The Li family has done us a lot of harm in the past few years," grandpa said to grandma.

"I'll listen to you, eldest son. The three girls, please pack up your things. There is nothing at home and we don't have anything to worry about," arranged the grandmother.
