In the night, Xiping Village lost its former tranquility. The whole village seemed to be filled with a terrible atmosphere. A few old women who were not afraid of trouble stood under the street lights at the entrance of their courtyard and talked with great interest about what happened at noon today.

thing.

Suddenly, a burst of chaotic footsteps, accompanied by a dog barking, came from the empty alley. The chewing old women immediately stopped talking and laughing, and went home in a panic.

The leader was Wang Youcai. He was holding a wooden stick in his hand, followed by more than a dozen young men in their twenties, each of whom also held property for beating people. The group remained silent.

He quickly ran towards the east end of the village. It seems that this third young man has a fairly strong body and bones. Xia Jian's kick would have kept ordinary people from being able to move for three or two days, but he basically recovered in less than half a day. It seems that it is necessary to be a local ruffian.

capital.

At the far east end of the village, a small courtyard surrounded by mud was dimly lit. The three tiled houses made of earth and wood were filled with men, women and children. Beside the big kang, there was a middle-aged man in his fifties.

, kept smoking the big pipe in his hand. His tall figure, gray hair, and weather-beaten face were covered with the vicissitudes of time. He was Xia Jian's father, Xia Zecheng, a loyal and honest farmer.

"Old Xia! What's the point of just smoking? Everyone is waiting for your words. Do you really want to ignore this matter? But let me say it first. If our son has any shortcomings, I won't be able to live anymore.

"A very ordinary middle-aged woman cried loudly towards Xia Zecheng. It was obvious that she was Xia Jian's mother.

Although there were many people sitting in the room, everyone did not dare to speak easily, because this matter was of great importance and involved the two big families of Wang and Xia. Maybe the two big families would fight over this matter. If this was the case,

Xiping Village is really going to change.

An old man with a childlike face lowered his voice and said loudly: "Zecheng, your boy Xia Jian is really shameless and has done such a shameful thing. If our Xia family makes such a stand for him,

It is inevitable that people will laugh at you. But this time, Wang Degui will not let your family off easily. He will settle the old grudges and new grudges together." The person who said this was Mr. Xia, the most senior member of the Xia family.

"Afraid of him, doesn't the Wang family have a village chief? We have already disliked this guy, so we might as well take this opportunity to fight between our Xia family and their Wang family. I don't believe it.

In such a big Xiping Village, the Wang family has the final say." A tough-headed young man stood up. After his encouragement, seven or eight more young people in the room stood up and started to fight with him. The scene suddenly got a little out of control.

.

Xia Zecheng, who had been sitting silently, could no longer sit still. He took a deep puff of his pipe and said loudly: "The dog is unfilial and has caused trouble for everyone. Erniu, Sanhu and you guys."

Uncle Xinyi, I know that you and Xia Jian are good brothers, but we can't mess around with this matter. This is a legal society, and whoever messes around will definitely be unlucky. Wang Degui is the village chief, and he understands the power of this better than us.

,so……"

Before Xia Zecheng finished speaking, he heard a bang, and someone kicked open the ajar door from the outside. Wang Youcai rushed in with a few people, and the people in the room suddenly stood up nervously. 2

Niu and Sanhu, a few people, randomly used something to beat people in the house, and took the lead in blocking Wang Youcai and the others.

"Go...go away and let Xia Zecheng come out and say...speak," Wang Youcai raised the wooden stick in his hand and stammered.

When Xia Zecheng saw this, he walked out of the house with a livid face. It was really bullying. At such an old age, he was called by his first name by a young boy. This was the first time in Xiping Village. Although rural people live in poverty,

But there is still a way of Confucius and Mencius, especially in terms of etiquette, which is extremely important.

"Uncle, just leave this matter alone. Beating is the best way to deal with such an uneducated person." Xia Sanhu's eyes widened with anger, and he looked really scary. Chen Gui, who was following Wang Youcai, stepped back involuntarily.

He took a step forward. This Xia Sanhu not only has a bad temper, but more importantly, he has good strength. One look at his burly figure will make people stay away.

Xia Zecheng smiled slightly and said to Wang Youcai: "Son, even though my Xia Jian said he caused a big disaster in your family, aren't we adults still involved in this matter? Why are you doing this?"

"Old...old thing, don't talk...it's useless. My business has nothing to do with my family. I just want to beat Xia Jian and avenge...you let him out." Wang Youcai

He was so arrogant that he wanted to rush into the house as he spoke.

No matter how honest a person is, he still has a temper. Xia Zecheng was so angry that he was trembling with anger at Wang Youcai's overbearing behavior. He trembled and shouted loudly: "Since you said so, this matter has nothing to do with our family.

Whether he lives or dies depends on Xia Jian's fate. Get out of here now because Xia Jian is not at home."

"Old immortal, if you say no... you won't be here if you're not here, search for me." This Wang Youcai really went too far. He raised the wooden stick in his hand and rushed into the main room with his men.

The young men Xia Sanhu and Er Niu couldn't bear it anymore. They cheered and all rushed forward. As soon as the two groups met, they started to fight. In an instant, a fight broke out in the small courtyard.

There was a crowd, with several older people shouting loudly from the side, but none of the angry young people were willing to stop, seeing that a tragic tragedy was about to take place.

"If you have money, come to me if you have the guts, sir, I'm here." Suddenly, a shout came from outside the gate, like a thunderclap in the clear sky. Everyone stopped fighting in unison and looked out the gate.

Through the dim light of the small courtyard, Xia Jian was seen holding a wooden stick in his hand, with his shirt open, standing majestically in the night. Wang Youcai hesitated for a moment, then shouted and took the lead in rushing forward with the wooden stick.

After leaving, several of his followers rushed out of the small courtyard one after another, not daring to lag behind. A burst of footsteps chasing each other spread from the east end of the village to the middle of the village from near to far.

Xia Jian was running, getting angrier and angrier as he ran. He had become something like a lost dog. At noon, he was chased outside the village by Wang Degui's nephews. He did not dare to go home until it was dark.

In the evening, he couldn't stand the hunger anymore, so he sneaked back to the village. Unexpectedly, Wang Youcai was fine. He even led people to make trouble in his house and bullied his father in public. He couldn't bear to see others bullying him.

family.

Before running very far, Xia Jian felt weak under his feet. He couldn't run anymore. Hungry and anger, hatred burned in Xia Jian's heart again. A man is a man who dares to act. Why should he be involved in what he does?

Family, this Wang Youcai is really hateful. I want him to know tonight that I, Xia Jian, am not a fearful person.

Hurrying forward, Xia Jian turned around at the turn of the alley and swiped the stick in his hand backwards. He heard a scream and Wang Youcai, who was chasing after him, fell down.

"Ah! Oh no, the third young master's head was smashed by Xia Jian" was Chen Gui's scream. Suddenly, there was chaos in the silent alley. Only then did Xia Jian, who was hiding in the darkness, realize that this time

It seems that the disaster is really serious. There is really no way for him to escape this disaster. If Wang Degui calls the police, he may get in.

After walking around the village for a long time, Xia Jiancai returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his father Xia Zecheng still sitting by the kang smoking his big pipe, while his mother sat next to him with tears in her eyes. Inside the house, it turned out that

Almost all the family members with the surname Xia have left, leaving only Mr. Xia, Xia Sanhu and Erniu, Xia Jian's die-hard brothers.

As soon as Xia Zecheng saw Xia Jian, who was a little embarrassed, he jumped down from the edge of the kang. The big pipe in his hand hit Xia Jian hard on the forehead. Xia Jian didn't even hide, but just grinned in pain.

.

"You beast, you dare to come back. For a little widow, you dare to do this with Wang Degui's family. It seems that our family in Xiping Village can't stay here any longer." Xia Zecheng cursed angrily, raised his hand, and wanted to hit Xia Jian again.

.

Xia Jian's mother pulled her son behind her. She was heartbroken when she saw the round bump on Xia Jian's head. His father was so angry. It seemed that his family already knew about Wang Youcai's head.

.

"When things have come to this point, there is no point in blaming the child. Wang Degui will definitely not let go of this matter today. Hurry and pack something for the child and let him go out and hide." Mr. Xia said with a heavy face.

Xia Sanhu's eyes widened and he said: "If you want me to see it, why don't you hide? That's it anyway. It's up to Wang Degui to do whatever he wants. Besides, Xia Jian is about to start school in a few days. This senior in high school

Don’t delay the course.”

"Shut up! Do you think Xia Jian can still go to school? If I'm not wrong, Wang Degui has already hung up the phone with the police station. Regarding this matter, based on his relationship with the town, will they give Xia Jian a lenient sentence?

!" Sanye Xia scolded sternly.
