The cold blade was pressed against his neck, but Zhou Man did not rush: "My money is in my belt, and I can't get it out by squatting."

Gangsters A, B, and C exchanged glances, and gangster A with the knife shook the knife: "Stand up! Hurry up!" Then he moved the knife away a little.

Zhou Man stood up cautiously, reached out and fumbled in his belt.He has always looked calm, unable to see fear, surprise or reluctance, Gangster A couldn't help but move forward.A stern light flashed in Zhou Man's eyes, and when he grabbed his wrist and folded it back, it was an over-the-shoulder throw!

"Ouch!" Gangster A yelled in pain, and cursed fiercely: "I'll hold your ancestor! md!!" While cursing, he grabbed the knife on the ground.

The ox horn knife is very slender, about [-] centimeters wide, but Zhou Man always grabs the ox horn knife lightly with his toes, and frightens gangsters B and C with a swipe.While dancing, he also kicked gangster A, the pain made gangster A scream, lying on the ground with his stomach in his arms, moaning weakly.

"Hey..." B and C were scared, and B quickly waved his hands and said, "We're playing with you! (Just kidding) I'm not really trying to steal your money!"

"That's right! That's right!" Bing also hurriedly added, "We saw you wearing Yaoyi, so we wanted to tease you."

Zhou Man seemed to relax his guard after hearing this, and slowly put down the knife.However, at this moment, B and C rushed forward at the same time, B raised his foot and kicked Zhou Man's knife, C punched Zhou Man in the face, and even A jumped up from the ground at the same time and hugged Zhou Man from behind!

Zhou Man lowered his body to avoid C's punch, but C's fist couldn't stop him, and immediately hit A in the face who was rushing towards him, causing A to scream, and his nose bleeds profusely.At the same time, Zhou Man's low body turned sharply to the right, sweeping with his left foot.He raised his right hand sharply.

"Ah...!!" C was swept down by Zhou Man's left foot and fell right on top of A.At the same time, with a sneer, the horn knife cut through B's trousers and severely scratched B's ankle.B fell from the jumping state, fell to the ground, hugged his ankle and screamed.

Everything happened in just a dozen seconds. Others saw it as a gasp. The three gangsters had all fallen down, and two of them were seriously injured.

"Let me tell you." Zhou Man casually turned the slender, blood-stained horn knife, and the blood droplets thrown out flew across the face of gangster B. "Don't think that we Guanjiang people are easy to be bullied because we are poor. I will teach you a lesson today. If you want to rob me in the next round, I will beat you until you are half crippled and sent to the police station!"

After he finished speaking, he ignored the people on the ground, picked up the bamboo tube on the ground and walked towards the main road.He threw the bamboo tube into the back basket, pinned the horn knife to his belt, and continued on his way without looking back, leaving behind a cool figure for the three gangsters.

"This guy fights really well..." Bing sighed, with some admiration in his tone.

"Can you beat the three of us if you're not strong?" A slapped Bingguangguo on the shoulder, and said angrily, "Quickly carry Amin, let's go to the health center."

Bing recited obediently, but he still admired it in his heart. The young boy's sweeping kick at the end was too powerful, didn't he learn it specially?

Bing guessed right, Zhou Man did learn a little hand and foot kung fu, but that was something in his previous life.At that time, Zhou was in his 20s, just out of bed, and worked as a security guard for a large company.There is a retired special soldier in the security guard. Zhou Man helped him, so he taught Zhou Man some fighting skills.But Zhou Man didn't use it often, especially after he opened his own factory, he was so busy that he couldn't think about it, and he didn't practice much.It was only after using it just now that Zhou Man felt that there was a need to continue practicing, otherwise, how would he and the child at home be protected in the future?

Zhou Man walked and thought all the way, until it was almost dark at seven or eight o'clock before returning to school.He walked up the stairs and suddenly realized something was wrong. How did the door open?Oops, something broke in, right?Boar or bear?Is the child all right?

Zhou Man's heart tightened, he pulled out the ax from the back basket with his backhand, and walked in cautiously.

"Zhou Man——!!!" As soon as he entered the yard, someone rushed over, so frightened that Zhou Man quickly grabbed his waist with one hand to prevent him from being hurt by the axe, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Something broke in Did it scare you? Did it hurt?"

"I'm fine, just..." Ying Feichi said with a broken face, "I can't understand her! She can't understand me either!"

"Ah Man, are you talking about me (Aman, who is this)?" A thin old lady in a dark blue background with red trim came out from the corner with a cane, and beside her stood a man in the same dress as Zhou Man tall, thin old man.

"Gu Gong, Gu Po, you guys are here?" Zhou Man was taken aback.

"You talk about each other, huh..." The ancient woman spoke in a mellow manner.It probably meant that she had heard that Zhou Man was back but hadn't seen anyone, so she came over with her old man this morning to have a look and send Zhou Man some food by the way.Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a strange-looking man (actually wearing an ancient robe, but the old man had never seen it before) sitting cross-legged under the eaves.The old lady thought it was a thief, so she picked up a walking stick and beat Ying Feichi until she cried and ran around with her head in her arms.Gu Gong stopped her when he saw that it was not easy to beat someone, and the two interrogated the person together, but he couldn't understand Gu Po's Yao dialect, and he couldn't understand Gu Gong's local dialect, and he spoke both Gu Gong and Gu Po Can't understand!So Gu Po was worried, and stayed here with Gu Gong for a day, afraid that Ying Feichi would do something bad.

"You babble (you bastard!)!" The ancient woman added angrily as she knocked on the ground with her walking stick.

Zhou Man was very helpless, he put the basket under the eaves, and said to the ancient woman: "Gu Bo, you are talking about 'classmate', you are so worried. (Gu Po, this is mine. Classmates, don't worry)"

"Sima Xi (what is) classmate?" Gu Gong asked.

"Only those who study together, those who study outside." Zhou Man explained.Waiting for Gu Gong and Gu Po to show a reassuring look, Zhou Man touched Ying Feichi's head, comforted the child who had been frightened for a day, and boasted silently: I didn't use spells or panic, and I did a good job.

Ying Feichi gave him an aggrieved look, that look seemed to say: I finally know the reason why you didn't let me go out, I couldn't understand what they said!

Zhou Man was amused by his appearance, couldn't help but patted his head again, rummaged through the basket for a while, found a small bag of sugar, stuffed it into Ying Feichi's hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't be wronged, This is for you to eat, I'll talk to Gu Gong and Gu Po." He took a peeled candy wrapper and handed it to Ying Feichi's mouth, the corners of his mouth curved, his eyes were gentle.

Ying Feichi smelled the sweet aroma and bit the candy in one bite.Zhou Man hurriedly said: "Don't swallow it, it will melt by itself."

The sweetness of the sugar melted in his mouth, Ying Feichi's eyes widened instantly, he had never eaten such a sweet thing!

Zhou Man saw that his eyes opened wide and then narrowed again, looking comfortable like a cat basking in the sun, and felt that he had a big pet.He pulled Ying Feichi to sit beside him, and let Gu Gong and Gu Po sit down, and then asked in Yao dialect: "You two old people are here, is there something wrong?"

"We killed a chicken in the morning, and I'll give you half of it, and put it in your cupboard." The ancient woman said, "But Daddy still has something to tell you."

Gu Gong said: "Aman, do you remember that your family still has many bamboo mountains?"

Zhou Man nodded: "Well, there are quite a lot, Gu Gong, what happened to our Zhushan?"

Although Zhou Man grew up eating a variety of meals, it does not mean that he has no parents or is a foreigner.Guanjiang Village is a forest area. When the mountains were divided, each household was divided into hundreds of acres of mountain land, among which there were many bamboo forests.Local bamboos are divided into water bamboo, yellow bamboo, golden bamboo, snow bamboo, and moso bamboo, all of which are edible bamboos.Now is the time when yellow bamboo shoots are in full bloom, and the bamboo shoot knife that Zhou Man bought is for cutting bamboo shoots.

Gu Gong said: "Even if the yellow bamboo in your house has been neglected for more than ten years, it belongs to your house. That man Lu Yun secretly opened your bamboo mountain to cut your bamboo shoots!"

Zhou Man's expression immediately became serious.

Yellow bamboo shoots have a characteristic. If the surrounding weeds and shrubs grow too densely, they will not grow vigorously.If you don't cut off the first batch of bamboo shoots when they grow taller, it won't produce the second batch of bamboo shoots.Therefore, Guanjiang Village starts to cut down the shrubs and weeds next to the yellow bamboo in mid-to-late July every year. This process is called "opening the bamboo mountain" locally.At the same time, opening bamboo mountain also expresses a kind of ownership. When a clump of yellow bamboo is opened, all the bamboo shoots produced by that clump of yellow bamboo in that year belong to the person who opened it.Therefore, the people in Guanjiang Village attach great importance to opening the bamboo mountain, and will not let others touch their own bamboo mountain, nor will they touch other people's bamboo mountain, even if the bamboo mountain has not been touched for more than ten years.But as long as the owner of Zhushan is still there, opening Zhushan without the owner's consent is tantamount to stealing. This is a serious crime in the simple and honest Yaozhai.

Gu Gong came here to tell Zhou Man when he discovered that a man named Lu Yun in the village had opened Zhou Man's Zhushan without authorization.

"Aman," Gu Gongyu said earnestly, "Those bamboo mountains are left to you by your parents, even if you don't want to open them, you have to ask them to tell you, otherwise some people will become more and more unreasonable! "

"Well, I know, don't worry." Zhou Man nodded, he took out a flashlight from the back basket and put in the batteries, stood up and said, "Gugong, it's getting dark, I'll take you back."

Gu Po had never seen a flashlight before, and it was a bit strange to see that it turned on when pressed.However, Gu Gong wondered where Zhou Man got the money. Zhou Man explained that he was looking for Ganoderma lucidum to sell money, and then sent the old man home. He also gave the old man a flashlight and taught them how to use it.The old lady refused to accept it, so Zhou Man said to exchange twenty catties of rice with them, but the old lady still didn't think it would work—how much is the rice worth in the village?Flashlights are expensive!

Zhou Man said he couldn't beat her, so he resisted the rice and ran away. He wanted to go back and give the child *soup.
