Sword comes

When Chen Ping'an carried a bucket to the iron lock well, he passed several breakfast shops in Xinghua Lane in the middle. He got hungry without saying hello, but he was shy, and the teenager could only bite the bullet and queue up to fetch water. There were three other families in front of him, and when it was his turn, Zhigui suddenly shoved a small bucket in his hand, and the people behind him immediately became unhappy.

Although not scolding, but the words are not pleasant, especially there is a rickety old woman known as Granny Ma. The two sons are very promising, and each has a dragon kiln. But Xinghua Lane is naturally a wealthy family, but for some reason, the relationship between the old woman and her two daughters-in-law is not good. The son and daughter-in-law have already moved to Taoye Lane, and the old woman has been living alone. The ancestral home in Xinghua Lane, in the eyes of Chen Ping'an and Liu Yangxian's generation, Granny Ma has always been a very scary elder. She curses people very hard, especially stingy and stingy. In winter, she can't wait to see the snow outside the courtyard. At home, if a child uses the snow in front of her house for a snowball fight, or pulls out the ice awl under her eaves, she can carry a broom and chase and beat and scold for a few streets without getting tired.

In the past, in the alleys in the west of the town, only Gu Can's mother could hold back Granny Ma's arrogance.Now Widow Gu is said to have gone to her husband's hometown with the distant relatives of her dead man. The mother-in-law Ma, who had been a little kind-hearted over the years, immediately returned to the rivers and lakes, and she was not pleasing to the eyes of anyone who caught her. As soon as Song Jixin's maid came out like this, Granny Ma immediately began to speak yin and yang strangely, with a low voice and no smile. Anyway, when I walk, I can't keep my legs together anymore. This is a great joy. Finally, I don't need to be a maid, and I can be called Mrs.

Chen Ping'an's scalp felt numb when he heard it, but it was not easy to drive away Zhigui, who had made a mistake first, after all, he had been a neighbor for so many years.After helping Liu Xianyang fill up two buckets of water, he quickly brought up a bucket of water for her, thinking of leaving this talkative mother-in-law early.Granny Ma was even more annoyed when she saw that the little servant of the Song family pretended not to hear.

This is the case with masters. The most fearful is that the opponent will not accept the move at all. If you have a good martial arts, you will have nowhere to stay.

In the past, the old woman quarreled with Widow Gu, the sassy fox, and she lost. After each incident, the old woman felt that her skills were good, and the next time she quarreled, she would definitely be able to regain her place. It was like this little hoof in Mud Bottle Alley, who deliberately kept silent every time, but every time The look in the eyes of the second girl when she left, also showed that the old woman was extremely uncomfortable. It really made the old woman hate it, and she really wanted to go forward and grab her face, so as to save the teenagers and young men in the nearby alleys. , everyone can't wait to hang their souls on the waist of the shameless servant girl.

Especially his grandson, although he has always been a fool in the eyes of outsiders, but recently, even her grandmother felt that this child was really out of her mind. The maid of Pingxiang, married back home as a daughter-in-law, and then punched this god into a hole.

Seeing that the hateful girl didn't respond, Granny Ma slapped her idea on the poor boy, tsk tsk: "The unpromising bastard has killed his parents and has the face to live in the world, knowing that he is destined to be incapable of marrying a daughter-in-law, so she just Licking their faces and hooking up with other people's maids, it's really a pair of dogs and men made in heaven. They should be together. Anyway, Mud Bottle Alley is a place where trash and cheap people live. The children born in the future can't really be king in Mud Bottle Alley. Domination."

Chen Ping'an thought for a while, then bent down just to let go of the burden on his shoulders.

The maid, Zhigui, had put down the bucket early and strode towards the fearless old woman. The girl slapped her without saying a word, causing Granny Ma to turn around in a circle, dizzy. fall.Zhigui didn't wait for the old woman to recover, but took another step forward, slapped her face and fell, and the girl scolded: "I have endured you for a long time!"

The old woman shook her head and was so angry that she was about to fight back. I wonder if it was an illusion. The support of the two women around her was too hard to break free for a while. As a result, she was humiliated for the third time. For the third time, he bent his fingers and tapped the old woman's forehead to death, "If you dare to curse again in the future, I will pull out the tongue of your long-tongued woman. If you swear a word, I will stab you once with a needle!"

The old woman was so frightened that she forgot to fight back, let alone fight back.

The girl turned around and walked away quickly, and found that the neighbor boy had helped her carry the bucket, smiled, and returned to Mud Bottle Alley with him.

Before Chen Ping'an could speak, the girl died, "Don't thank me, it's nothing to do with you if I swear."

Chen Pingan was speechless.

The empty-handed girl muttered to herself over there. Anyway, she never thought of taking the bucket back from the straw-shoe boy.

Next to the iron-locked well wheel cart, the old woman was sitting on the ground and wailing, "The little maid who has suffered thousands of knives will be punished by God... My life is so hard, God doesn't have long eyes, why don't you strike a thunderbolt and smash this guy to death? Xiaolang's hoof..."

The girl's footsteps were brisk, her hands were propped up to the sky one by one, a very strange gesture.

Fortunately, Chen Pingan has been her neighbor for so many years, so it doesn't seem strange.

When the two passed the early shop, Chen Ping'an saw a familiar figure. She was not tall and was wearing blue clothes. She was buying freshly baked meat buns.

Chen Pingan

This morning, I don't know when the clouds are low, and it is extra thick, like a big quilt of a rich family, spread over there to bask in the sun.

Rumbling, thunder shook the town overhead.

Ma Liu, who was at the iron lock well, stood up and ran home in a hurry. The small bucket was swaying, and the well water was spilled all the way. It is estimated that there will not be half a bucket of water left.

The old woman probably knew that if God really opened his eyes, the first lightning strike would most likely fall on her head.

After Chen Ping'an heard the thunder, he raised his head and looked up, a little puzzled, it didn't look like it was a sign of rain.

The girl smiled and said, "My young master said that he has read it in the book. It is rumored that in the early spring, there will be a righteous god in heaven wearing a golden armor, beating drums in the sky, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, shocking all evil, to announce the new year."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Your young master does read a lot.

. "

The girl sighed, "My young master is good at everything, but he is lazy, and he likes to scold God, I don't think it's good."

Chen Pingan didn't have the habit of telling people right and wrong behind his back, so he didn't say anything about it.Next door, Song Jixin has a strange temper that has persisted for many years.However, scholars also have the attention of scholars. When there are snowy nights, thunderstorms, and the sky is covered with colorful clouds, this is Song Jixin's three-no-scolding, saying that he is going to scold him while God is taking a nap, and God will not listen. When he arrives, he will not be angry, and Song Jixin can also relieve his anger and comfort, killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing that Chen Ping'an was not talking, Zhigui said casually, "You didn't go home last night, went to Liu Xianyang's place?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "It's inconvenient to have guests at home."

She asked suddenly, "By the way, did Mr. Qi meet you and what did he say?"

Chen Ping'an asked back, "Why do you ask that?"

She smiled innocently and said, "Just ask, because when I went out to fetch water today, I happened to meet Mr. Qi who said it was an early morning walk, and asked me if you were at home, so I answered truthfully."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "I met Mr. Qi by accident before, and he told me a few common words, roughly saying that I should go to school with Liu Xianyang to study. I can only say that my family is poor, If not, I would also like to study."

Zhigui asked suspiciously, "Is that so?"

Chen Ping'an looked at her eyes and asked with a smile, "How else do you think?"

She laughed it off.

The two separated at the corner, Zhigui took the bucket and went to Mud Pingxiang, Chen Ping'an returned to Liu Xianyang's house, and after that, he had to go to the east gate of the city to pick up a letter, a penny, if he owned this business early , based on Chen Pingan's foot strength to travel all over the hills of a hundred miles, it is estimated that his wife has already saved enough.

At the mouth of the clay bottle alley, Zhigui saw his young master standing there, yawning.

She walked quickly and asked curiously, "Master, why did you come out?"

Song Jixin slowly stretched his body and said lazily, "It's boring to stay."

She asked in a low voice, "Sir, when will the new inspector return to the town? Can we go to the capital after that?"

Song Jixin thought for a while, "It's just a matter of ten days."

Zhigui hesitated, and the small bucket in his hand also swayed.

Song Jixin smiled and asked, "What's wrong, have something on your mind?"

She timidly said, "Young Master, can you lend me the local county gazetteer? In just a night or two, I am good at recognizing characters, and I can save the capital, which will be looked down upon by others, and I will implicate the Young Master in making jokes. "

Song Jixin laughed dumbly, and after thinking for a while, "What's the embarrassment to say, but remember to wash your hands before turning over the book, don't get dirt on the pages, and be careful of candle oil dripping on it, there is no need for anything else. Note, it's just a broken book 'so far'."

Zhigui smiled brightly: "My servant thanked the son!"

Song Jixin was delighted, and laughed heartily: "Come here, my son will help you lift the water."

Zhigui dodged for a moment, and said sternly: "Young Master! Didn't you agree that the gentleman will cook far away? How can the son touch these chores, if it spreads out, I will be stabbed in the spine by the neighbors!"

Song Ji said with a smile: "Rules, reason, etiquette and these things, you can fool and scare others, my son, I..."

Having said that, the seed of reading who grew up in a mean alley will not go on.

She asked curiously, "What is the son?"

Song Jixin resumed his cynical smile, and pointed at himself, "My son, I am actually a peasant. I divide a field into ridges and ridges, line by line, and then let people sow seeds and divert water to irrigate. I just sit and wait for the harvest, year after year, that's all!"

She was dazed.

Song Jixin laughed.

The young man suddenly restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Zhigui, did the surnamed Chen carry the bucket for you all the way?"

The maid nodded, her eyes innocent.

The young man said earnestly: "There is a sage who once said that he is willing to regard a little kindness of strangers as a rare treasure, but treat all the sacrifices of those close to him as a matter of course and turn a blind eye to them, which is wrong."

The maid was even more confused and puzzled, "Huh?"

The young man rubbed his chin and said to himself, "I didn't hear what I said, so how can I answer the question, Master? Could it be that when I arrive in the capital, I want to change to a smarter, more understanding and beautiful Shui Ling Xiao. maid?"

The maid couldn't help laughing out loud. She didn't take the threat of her young master to heart at all, and revealed the truth: "Young master actually wants to wait for me to ask, who is this sage asked by the university? Young master, I know, it's you. Well!"

Song Jixin laughed heartily, "Those who know me, Zhigui!"

----

Inside the school room, a middle-aged scholar sat upright, and all the black and white pieces on the chessboard in front of him turned into powder in the sound of spring thunder.

There is a way for young children in small towns to catch slate fish in the creek. It is to hit the rocks in the creek with a hammer, and the fish hiding at the bottom of the rocks will be stunned and surfaced.

It is similar to the so-called knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger in the book.

But if you want to warn a sage, don't act against the sky, it goes against the Dao of reason.

Then the heavy weapon that matches its identity between heaven and earth is probably only the mighty Tianlei.
