Chapter 7 5. The beginning of love (3)
From Grandpa Cai's story, Little Lingjie gradually learned that the heavenly soldiers and generals are dedicated to attacking the rich and the government to vent their anger on the poor.The emperor in the imperial court of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals was surnamed Hong, who was from the south. He used to go to a private school, and after taking the exam several times in a row, he was not admitted as a scholar because the chief examiner cheated.Later, God chose him as the messenger to awaken the world and save all living beings.In fact, Hong Tianwang was originally the second son of God who came down to earth, the "true son of heaven", who was ordered by the heavenly father to "kill the evil and keep the good".The Heavenly King raised his arms when he received the destiny, and the poor people all over the world responded one after another. They were willing to make contributions to the Heavenly King and destroy the demons. The Heavenly King led the heavenly soldiers and generals to fight against the demons. The more brave you are, the bigger the territory you occupy, so after Nanjing was captured, everyone jointly elected the Heavenly King as the emperor, established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and confronted the Qing Dynasty's Beijing regime from north to south.
Xiao Lingjie was moved by Grandpa Cai's story.For no reason, he felt that the heavenly soldiers and generals in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were all upright men, and they were all as capable as Grandpa Cai.He yearns for the day that he can become a heavenly soldier and general, follow the heavenly king to fight east and west, fight south and north, and make great achievements.Also, Xiao Lingjie gradually believes that Grandpa Cai is a heavenly soldier and general.He has paid attention to observe many times. Every time Grandpa Cai's story begins, he has to lower his head for a long time, and when he raises his head again, he is full of tears.Moreover, he told those stories as if he was on the scene, and he also called the characters in the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals very kindly. It is hard to believe that if Grandpa Cai hadn't led soldiers and fought in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, how could he tell the story? So vivid story.
Little Lingjie's idea was soon confirmed.Grandpa Cai told him another story that day. The protagonist of the story was named Cai. Grandpa Cai was more involved than ever when he told it. He had to let him clenched his fists and wept.
Grandpa Cai said:
"In the border of Shandong, there is a village by the sea. There is a family named Cai in the village. The Cai family has lived in this fishing village for generations. They rely on fishing to exchange firewood, rice, oil and salt. Although life is a bit bitter, it is also very comfortable. When the Cai family was passed down to the generation of a man named Cai Tingming, there was a big mistake. Cai Tingming liked to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child. Official document, to arrest him and bring him to justice. Cai Tingming had no choice but to abandon his newlywed wife Yaner and fled to other places. Cai Tingming wandered around, living a life of licking blood with a knife head. This kind of life lasted for eighteen years. At that time, he was basically After settling down, he befriended the chief executive of a local gang in the south, and became a post-changing friend. Under the protection of this friend, he ran a small business in peace, barely able to make ends meet. .I stopped running back and forth, and my heart calmed down, so I began to miss my wife who was far away in my hometown and the baby that his wife was still pregnant when he ran away. Cai Tingming was so worried about his thoughts, he couldn't lift his spirits, and he was depressed all day long. He didn't want to eat and drink. His brother was a careful person, and when he saw the way, he persuaded him to go back to his hometown. Cai Tingming was originally thinking of this, so he didn't refuse any more, took the money from his brother, and went home. Cai Tingming's wife is also a good person with a determined heart. She waited for her daughter at home and waited for her husband to come back. After waiting for eighteen years, Cai Tingming did come back. The family reunited, and it goes without saying that Cai Tingming's daughter is eighteen years old. , It was completed into a flower, and her husband's family also decided that it was a boy from the Wang family in the neighboring village. Cai Tingming asked to meet him when he was at home, and he was very satisfied. Cai Tingming originally planned to stay at home for a few more days, and then went back to take care of brother After finishing business, he returned to watch over his wife and daughter to take care of them. Who knew that he hadn't been at home for half a day, so his brother sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the gang had encountered a big trouble, and asked him to hurry back. Cai Tingming also made a sound Besides, brother once saved his life, and he was reborn with kindness. After receiving the letter, he rushed back without hesitation. The friendly brothers in the gang intercepted him, pulled him into the secret room and wept bitterly, saying that the gang leader was sold to the government by the second leader and had been beheaded a few days ago. The letter sent to him was the secret of the gang leader the day before his execution. The brother said that the leader of the gang had already discovered the conspiracy of the second leader, but he kept thinking about his brother and forbearance, but the traitors took the opportunity, and the leader of the gang was unfortunately killed. Cai Tingming suddenly realized that he had persuaded his brother He went home to see for a purpose. Cai Tingming and Brother Ba had done a lot to get acquainted with the second leader. The two of them were also called brothers and brothers on weekdays, and they had a close relationship. The leader must have taken advantage of his visit to get rid of the second leader. , lest he be in a dilemma when he is here, who knows what to do first. The brother finally took out a blood letter from his arms, saying that the leader of the gang asked him to succeed the new leader, eradicate the traitors, and make the gang bigger. Cai Tingming is naturally There is no shirking of responsibility and duty. He made up his mind that he would let his brother die in peace. "Eliminate the traitors, and make the big gang" easy to sayEasy, but difficult to do. After the two leaders killed the gang leader, they either killed or drove away the loyal brothers of the previous gang leader, leaving no one behind. Or if you find out that you have some slight words to him, you will be punished immediately.So now the gang is like his iron barrel, it's hard to start, besides, this kid has a sense of guilt for harming the gang leader, he is afraid that people will avenge the gang leader, there will be swarms of bodyguards when he goes in and out, and his residence is mysterious and unpredictable.Cai Tingming took over the last order, carefully visited the old brothers in the gang, and developed his strength, so he has been working hard for ten years.The head of the second leader was finally carried by him and placed in front of Brother Ba's grave.After weeping and sacrificing his brother's spirit, he went home to take a look at his heart, but he didn't know that his son-in-law committed a big crime, and the whole village was killed except him, even the Cai family. Was implicated.The wife couldn't bear the beating, and died in the county hall.Cai Tingming was so desperate that he bit his teeth so hard that blood came out of his lips.He hates those officials who bully others, he hates the county government that only arrests poor people, and he wishes to kill all the bad officials.But this is impossible.With no one in the family, he had nothing to worry about, so he returned to the gang and lived in depression for several years.
Hong Tianwang led the heavenly soldiers and generals to start an incident. The Tianwang army attacked the city and seized the territory, beheaded the generals and turned against the flag. It was unstoppable and invincible.At this time, he also understood the truth that only by eradicating all the demons can the universe become a peaceful world again, so he disbanded the gang and led a group of like-minded brothers to join the Taiping Army.Cai Tingming and Qing Yao have the hatred of killing their wives and forcing their daughters, and they are extremely brave on the battlefield. In addition, he has some real kung fu, and he has been promoted to the commander of the army with his achievements, and he is in charge of more than 2,000 brothers.Cai Tingming has had a good life in the world and knows how to win over his brothers, so the more than 2,000 men under his command fought desperately, not afraid of death, and fought many tough, vicious, and dangerous battles.Heavenly King proposed several times to make Cai Tingming king, but he refused to give up, saying that he was old and only wanted to die in battle, and he would dare to steal the throne.Cai Tingming never imagined in his dreams that this kind of humility almost caused him to be in a situation of eternal doom.Cai Tingming's deputy was the brother who gave him his brother's blood letter. He followed him into the Taiping Army. The two worked together to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds together. He became the deputy commander.At this time, Cai Shiming was modest and could not restrain his desire for profit. He thought that after Cai Tingming fell, he could be crowned king in a legitimate way, so this guy who was ignorant and ignorant of good and evil sued Cai Tingming in front of the king, saying that he was arrogant and despised the king. , and has accumulated ambitions for a long time, wanting to seek the position of heavenly king.When the King of Heaven heard this, he was naturally furious, and quickly sent someone to arrest Cai Tingming. Fortunately, Cai Tingming was usually very popular, and someone sent him a letter at the critical moment.At first Cai Tingming wanted to go to the hall to argue right and wrong, but then he thought about it again: My old man is also very old, I don’t know if I will wake up tomorrow when I lie down today, if I go to the hall to argue , It's not worth throwing a handful of old bones there after getting a board.After much deliberation, Cai Tingming decided to leave.Avoid the limelight first, and when the truth comes out, if he still has the strength, it will not be too late to serve the king of heaven.Cai Tingming then wrote a white letter to the king of heaven, handed it to the soldiers, and slipped away by himself.Cai Tingming left the Taiping Army and didn't know where to go, so he first looked for some old friends who used to hang out on the road. After many years, those old friends died, and the old ones were also deaf and dazzled.The old friends met each other and said goodbye after teary eyes. An old friend suddenly mentioned that he had seen his half son on the Hebei Road.Cai Tingming couldn't help crying when he heard it.Wife died, daughter died.There is only such a son-in-law left, although he did not succeed, after all, he is the only one who is related.As the saying goes: "A son-in-law is half a son"?
Cai Tingming moved his mind, and after saying goodbye to his old friend, he went to Hebei.Along the way, he asked all his friends in the rivers and lakes, because his son-in-law is also a practicing family. "People leave their names when they pass by, and geese leave their voices when they pass by." I really found out from him, saying that he was in Dacheng County, Hejian Prefecture.Cai Tingming had the bottom line in his mind, and rushed all the way to Dacheng. After some interrogation, he was finally convinced that my son-in-law was killed by the government several years ago. ...
Grandpa Cai's story was told until the last sentence, when he couldn't control his emotions and let his feet show.He said "my son-in-law".Little Lingjie also burst into tears when he heard that, hugged Grandpa Cai and burst into tears, the father and son cried enough, Grandpa Cai wiped away his tears, and said to Little Lingjie solemnly:
"Little Lingjie, your Grandpa Cai committed a crime and escaped, so don't reveal my identity when you go out in the future."
Little Lingjie nodded "Mmmm", thinking about Grandpa Cai's life of ups and downs, he couldn't even find a place to live when he was old, and he lived miserably in the earth temple alone.The tears that had just been held back flowed out again. Grandpa Cai has returned to normal at this moment, helped him wipe away the tears on his face, and said with a smile:
"Why are you crying all the time, wanting to curse you, Grandpa Cai, to die? Children don't understand, the past is the past. There is always life and death in a person's life. If you can't bear it, you have to bear it. In the future, you will understand You have to look forward when you are alive, don't think about sad things all the time. Then you have to soak in the tear jar all day, it is better to die."
From that time on, Little Lingjie admired Grandpa Cai as much as he worshiped Lu Ban for his carpentry work. Whenever he thought of Grandpa Cai's heroic posture of leaping horses and charging into battle, Little Lingjie was fascinated for a long time.As the days passed, Xiao Lingjie insisted on asking Grandpa Cai to teach him some real kung fu, but Grandpa Cai couldn't refuse, so he taught him two hands from time to time.Little Lingjie's head is full of spirits, and he can practice a set of boxing techniques to a decent degree after one or two repetitions.Hu Huli's original intention was to let his son study to seek fame, but now Xiao Lingjie ran like crazy to the earth temple all day long, and didn't ask about books at all.
Hu Hu Li knew that he was with Grandpa Cai, so he felt relieved, and then he thought about it, in troubled times, it would be good to survive, what else do you want to be promoted, get rich, honor your ancestors, learn two-handed kung fu, so you can guard against chaos. Hu Huli thought about it, and let him go.Little Lingjie practiced boxing more vigorously than studying. He practiced every move that Grandpa Cai taught him every day. Seeing that his body was getting stronger and stronger, Hu Huli was really happy to see it.Once Hu Hu Li was fascinated by watching his son practicing, and wanted to move his hands and feet after the game.Little Lingjie didn't know that his father practiced three-legged and four-door fighting with Grandpa Cai's son-in-law when he was young, so he didn't take him seriously at all. He was sweating all over his body, and he was very happy. Little Lingjie thought that three punches and two kicks could put his father on the ground, but who knew that it would be difficult once he got started, and he didn't catch his father even after a lot of effort. A hair, really convinced.From then on, the father and son competed together whenever they had free time, which was quite interesting.
After all, Grandpa Cai is not someone who can stay in one place for a long time. After a long time, he feels bored and panics and wants to go out for a walk. Anyway, the world is so big, and with his ability, he will not have to worry about eating hot food there.Besides, the old man was used to busy work all his life, and he never suffered from the pain of guarding the green light in an empty house alone. Although Xiao Lingjie often went to the Earth Temple to accompany him, and sometimes lived there to pinch his legs, the old man was still lonely and unbearable.As soon as Xiao Lingjie left, he dragged him to chatter about the heroic past when he and his brothers drank big bowls, ate meat, and weighed the money when they were young.Obviously, Li Jiacun couldn't keep him.
On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th in the third year of Xianfeng, the Li family invited him to the Li family to play.
The old man shed a few drops of tears towards the moon, and then said that he would set off north the next day to find the troops of the Northern Expedition of the Taiping Army.
No one in the Li family expected that the old man would leave as soon as he said he would, and tonight he said he would leave tomorrow.Hu Huli tried his best to persuade him to stay for two more days, and Xiao Lingjie even threw himself into his arms crying with snot and tears and wanted him to stay, but the old man was determined to leave.Little Lingjie didn't sleep well that night, watching the window paper turn from white to black, and then from black to white again, the cock crowed all over again, so he got up and ran to the earth temple to find Grandpa Cai.Unexpectedly, this grandpa Cai is better than his son-in-law. After leaving the Li family, he did not wait until dawn, and drifted away after finishing the whole thing. It means that life is impermanent, so you don't have to worry about parting for a while. If you are destined in the future, you will meet each other. I hope he can honor his parents, give full play to his strengths, and do a great job.
Xiao Lingjie took the text message and ran all the way home crying.When Hu Huli saw the situation, he knew that Uncle Cai had repeated his son-in-law's "old trick" and performed it more simply, and slipped away without saying hello.When asked about the content of Xiao Lingjie's letter, Hu Huli felt even more lost. At the beginning, Brother Wang also said that he would meet each other by fate, but he knew that it was only a one-time relationship or it was on his way to the execution ground. Life is really unpredictable. what!
After Grandpa Cai left, Little Lingjie didn't see a smile on his face for more than ten days. Hu Huli knew that he didn't know what parting was at such a young age, so he didn't try to persuade him, and let him hurt more than ten gods alone.The children got together and climbed on the courtyard wall to show their heads and learn how to meow for a few days. The little guy erased most of the memories that Grandpa Cai left him, although the circles of his eyes were still red and red when he sat down. But I can eat it, and my spirit has improved a lot.
In a blink of an eye, when it was time to harvest Baogu, Mrs. Cao couldn't go out, and the old man fell seriously ill again. He couldn't walk a few steps with a cane and he was panting like a cow. Let alone going to the ground, it would be good if he didn't assign someone to take care of him.There is no extra manpower in the family, and the old lady looks after the third, fourth, and fifth children alone. After a day, she is so tired that her waist is sore and her legs hurt, and she is so angry that she wants to cry. The eldest is more honest and has a lot of strength. Huhu Li asked him and Xiao Lingjie to get a small frame car to go home to Labao Valley, and he was alone in the field.
The land of Xiao Lingjie's house is next to that of rich man Deng's.Usually doing farm work, Hu Hu Li often meets with the long-term workers of the Deng family. They are all from poor backgrounds.There should be something going on this year, the land of Xiao Lingjie's house is next to a river ditch, and there is a small road that can just pass a shelf car to the main road, and the Li family usually walks here when they go to work in the field and pull things.There was a little more water in the ditch this year, and for some reason, the small road was washed down by half. When the farm work was busy, there was no delay. Pass.The road of Deng's family is to ride on the edge of the land of Deng and Li, each of which occupies half of the land.The Deng family's corn is transported from the field to the house by this road. Hu Hu Li always thought that he, the rich man Deng, had run outside and seen the big world, so he wouldn't give up this bit of face, besides, there was still him on that road. Half of the Li family.
The two brothers were young and had no strength. They pulled back a little bit at a time, and pulled back a little bit at a time. After a day of pulling, they didn’t finish pulling, but there was not much left. The brothers pulled another cart and it was almost the same. Going to do other work, I called the brothers and asked them to run again to get back the little bit left in the field, and the work was considered complete.
The two brothers didn't say anything, they pulled the cart and ran into the field. When they got to the top of the field, the corn that had been well piled up disappeared.Because Hu Huli told them to go and say hello to Uncle Liu, who was looking at the Baogu in the Deng family, because the Baogu was entrusted to him to look at it at night, and Xiao Lingjie saw that the Baogu was lost, but his voice was on the ground. Called Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu didn't call out, but Er Nuo walked out of the Baogu tree step by step, with the same smirk on his face when he was in winter school, but he was taller, fatter, and looked more vicious up.
Er Nuo stood in front of the Li family brothers and sneered after shaking out of the Baogu tree.
Cathay didn't know why, but also smirked at Ernuo, Ernuo stopped laughing suddenly, and instantly became as cold as ice, Cathay was startled, and hid behind his younger brother, Ernuo said to Xiao Lingjie:
"I heard that the road you took in Labaogu yesterday was our family's road?"
As soon as Xiao Lingjie heard it, he understood that the troublemaker was coming.He and Er Nuo were neither good nor bad when they were in winter school. They would grind their teeth and bicker when they were free, and ignore each other when they were busy.Little Lingjie hadn't seen him since winter school was over, and I heard that this guy went to a private school in the county town.How could he think of such a virtue, his conscience was eaten by wild dogs.
Little Lingjie was scolding him and feeling guilty at the same time. It is true that the Li family can't compete with the Deng family. Of course, if the two brothers don't go back to Baogu, it would be easy to beat him up and let the elder brother help him with the clothes. Knock him a shit, the problem is that if you don't want Baogu, the two brothers can't go home to do business?Besides, if Er Nuo was beaten up, the wealthy Mr. Deng went to the county to file a complaint. Even if he didn't file a lawsuit against the thugs, the Li family would have nothing to eat and would not be able to leave.
After Er Nu finished speaking, he stared at his chubby knuckles and laughed, as if he was looking at some treasure. Little Lingjie knew that he was waiting for his answer, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and pretend to be submissive. He leaned over and laughed and said:
"Brother Erhao, for the sake of the fact that we were in the same class, please forgive me once. As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. Besides, half of this road is in my field. Didn't your family also walk through it? Is it? It’s okay to take a step back."
Er Nuo choked on these few words that were neither soft nor hard, so he didn't even look at his knuckles, went up and grabbed Xiao Lingjie by the neck, almost slipping him up.
"You little bastard, you still want to call grandpa my brother and brother. You are fucking dead. Let me tell you, the road belongs to our Deng family. If your Li family wants to leave, you have to pay for the road. I will confiscate that pile of corn. Now, go back and tell Old Wang Bazizi that he will discipline his son well in the future, and don't come out to make a fool of himself, hum! You are uneducated."
Looking at Er Nuo's bravado, Xiao Lingjie was so angry that his lungs exploded, and he said to himself:
"Why do you son of a bitch come out to shake your name? It's not just your family's stinky money, don't let you fall into my hands one day, and your head will be twisted off for you to use as a urine pot."
Little Lingjie still had a smile on Mimi's face, as if he was not angry at all, and nodded his head and bowed his waist.
"Master Deng, Baogu, you old man is about to fall in love, so let's take it away, anyway, our family can't finish it, so if you take it home and throw it away, it's like feeding pigs, so it's a tribute to your old man! Ah!"
Little Lingjie didn't wait for Er Nuo to come back to his senses, pulled the car, turned around and ran away. In fact, Er Nuo didn't understand what he said behind him at all, and just said "Master Deng" and plugged his ears .
Little Lingjie was out of breath from running, and when he got home, he threw the car and stood in the yard and yelled at him. When I got down to take out the cotton clothes and trousers under the box to mend them, I heard two "clang bang bang bang bang" outside, followed by Xiao Lingjie's angry cursing.No need to ask, this kid scolded and stabbed someone outside again, came back to pre-emptively silence the mouths of his family.
Mrs. Cao came to the courtyard and saw that the boss, Guotai, was squatting on the ground with his head in his arms. Little Lingjie was jumping as high as he could and was scolding vigorously, but the carriage was empty, and Baogu hadn't been pulled back. The situation was so serious that Xiao Lingjie was dragged into the room and asked about the situation, but he didn't really blame him, and only said to wait for your father to come back before making plans.
It was late afternoon when Hu Huli came back at noon, Mrs. Cao described everything the brothers said to her husband in a slow and soft voice, and asked him to go to Deng's house after eating, change into clean clothes, and ask Asked what the reasoning was, Hu Huli couldn't blame the two brothers when things got to this point, so he really went to Deng's house.Xiao Lingjie wanted to reason with his father, but was stared back by his father, so he had to go back and lie on the bed to get angry.
After drinking the soup, Hu Hu Li came back, and the family had already waited impatiently, so they were relieved to see him smiling happily.It turned out that Mr. Deng didn't know what Erhao was doing. This kid stayed in the county for a long time and felt very boring, so he came back to relax on the pretext of having a headache and fever. Mr. Deng didn't know that this kid went to the field for the first time, and even detained him. A car of Baogu came to Li's house.As soon as Hu Huli arrived at Deng's house, the rich man Deng entertained him with a smile on his face, and asked him what he needed to come to the humble house. As a joke, he took a cart of Baogu from Li's family back to Deng's house.The rich man Deng got angry when he heard it, and scolded the evil beast for being ignorant, and dared to do anything wrong at a young age, that's okay, so he sent a servant to call the young master back.After the family member went out, the rich man Deng accompanied Hu Huli a lot, saying that the relatives and neighbors should not be angry about such a small matter, the dog is incapable of teaching, please bear with me, and I will deal with him when he comes back.The two people chatted "speculatively" with each other.During this period, not only did the young master not call over, but the servant also never returned.Hu Huli heard that rich man Deng kept his mouth shut and ignored Che Baogu. He had already talked to this point, so it was inconvenient for him to interrupt, so he said his goodbyes and came back.
As soon as Xiao Lingjie heard that his father had been put off by a few good words, and that Baogu was still in Deng's house, he became angry and said: "Of course Rich Deng and his scoundrel son wear a pair of trousers, but the words are nicer. Just shut your mouth, old man. You are too..." The half of Little Lingjie behind the queen swallowed it back abruptly, he was talking complacently when he looked up and saw that his father's fists had been clenched hard, and he closed it tactfully. After finishing his mouth, Hu Huli called his sons to him that night, and warned them not to cause trouble when they meet Deng's family members in the future.The Li family really can't afford to offend the Deng family right now, if you want to take revenge, wait until you all have status.
These words are more like a reprimand than an admonition. The main idea is to ask the little Lingjie brothers to take a detour when they encounter Er Nao. The ground is trembling with prestige, being able to apologize is enough to save face.
Little Lingjie didn't say anything, but the boss was unconvinced in his heart.What kind of thing is his Deng family? The Deng family doesn't have a nose and two eyes more than the Li family. I'm afraid of him, what else can he do to me, Er Nuo, a son of a bitch, I won't let you taste the little one for ten days Master is amazing, my surname will no longer be Li from now on, my surname will be Deng as yours!
Opportunities are easy to find, Xiao Lingjie and his gang have been influenced by their parents since they were young, and they have no good ideas for the Deng family. As soon as the boss said that he wanted to find trouble and deal with the evil spirits, the group of newborn calves immediately geared up and were eager to try.Judging by the posture, they would not even frown if they rushed into the Deng family's compound at the moment. The little guy was only dissatisfied with the Deng family, and did not have the deep-rooted fear of his father's generation at all.
It was Zhou Tiedan's long-term thinking. After returning from his adventure in the ghost land, this weak military adviser in the past has completely changed his appearance.To be resourceful and courageous, to become both civil and military.
Zhou Tiedan said that rich man Deng is very powerful and has always been involved with the government, so he can't fight openly, only secretly fight.Er Nuo, apart from having a few pounds of brute strength, has no other advantages in pulling him outside. Let's just pull him out and fight with him.
Xiao Lingjie nodded and said yes, although Dou Li is not afraid of him, but if he accidentally beats him up, his father will definitely skin him when he gets home. The best way is to scare the shit out of him. If you want to do this, people can't play tricks. In addition to Zhou Tiedan, Xiao Lingjie also picked up the dog pillar.
The three of them got together and discussed it carefully, and they agreed that the ghost land is the best way to scare Er Nao.
Little Lingjie almost lost his head in the ghost land, why did he still go there?The reason has to start with Grandpa Cai.Little Lingjie saw it right that day, the burrow was inside the tent, but those stupid soldiers didn't notice, the base camp of the soldiers was a little further inside the ghost land.
The purpose of building a tent here is to make people mistakenly believe that heavy troops are gathered here, tempting people to take the bait. In fact, the ghost land is full of grass, and it is easy to hide thousands of people. Those who lie in ambush in the ghost land are all good soldiers in the army.The purpose is to catch fine people who dare to spy on the military situation.Grandpa Cai had been in the Taiping Army for a long time, so he naturally hated the Qing Yao. As soon as he arrived in Li Jia Village, he went for a walk in the ghost land non-stop, and he really saw the way. The iron bucket is average, and it is difficult to insert the wings.It wasn't that the whole group focused on Xiao Lingjie that day, Grandpa Cai still couldn't get in.How to go to the tent to see it?Grandpa Cai couldn't think of any good plan.It was a coincidence that one day when he was out for a walk, he heard people chatting in a tavern in the county town. A burly man boasted to people that he knew the truth about the haunted place, but it was just a tunnel.Grandpa Cai immediately paid attention to that one, and saw that the boy was unruly, with long tangled hair and a swollen face, and he seemed to be a practicing family boy.Grandpa Cai waited for the man to leave the tavern, followed him to a place where there was no one there, and subdued him three times.Then ask him what's going on.That kid was originally a flower picker, relying on his skills, he ruined many good women in this area. Others knew what he was doing, but he dared not speak out. He was used to it, and he had never seen anything. The big battle, this time fell into Grandpa Cai's hands, and he couldn't show any prestige.Nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice, he asked Grandpa Cai to spare his life, but Grandpa Cai falsely promised, so he tremblingly told the truth.This kid is from Li Xiaozhuang, the root of the city. Xiaozhuang Li had a great eunuch named Li Yi in the Ming Dynasty. The eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were famous for their power in history. Li Yi was a rascal since he was a child. , can be called a tyrant, and later fought viciously with others, committed a murder case with poisonous hands, and in desperation he cleaned himself up.There were rules in the Ming Dynasty, once cleansed, he was a member of the palace, no matter how big the magistrate was, he couldn't afford to offend him.Li Yi escaped with his life, entered the palace, tried every means, squeezed his head and climbed up, and finally climbed up, with all the power in the court, domineering and arrogant.Human desires are like a deep well, which cannot be filled no matter how much you fill it in. Li Yi is used to calling the wind and calling the rain in the court, and he realizes the importance of power more and more, so he plots to rebel. The style of the golden throne hall of the imperial palace.
As soon as the construction of the Nazhi Palace was completed, a magistrate risked his beheading and read a copy of his book, saying that Li Yi was conspiring to rebel and was ambitious as a wolf. Everyone knew about it, and he built a palace in his hometown of Dacheng County as proof.As soon as the emperor heard that Long Yan was furious, it was okay, so he sent someone to arrest Li Yi and question him. Li Yi is also a man with a hand and eye, and his minions are everywhere. Disguised the Golden Luan Palace, and then calmly went to see the emperor, saying that the servant built a temple in his hometown, to pray for the emperor's long life, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to have a look, the emperor sent someone to the big city to have a look, and sure enough It is a temple, cigarettes are curling up, and devout men and women gather in groups, burning incense and praying to the Buddha to bless the emperor for a long time.Li Yi escaped this time, and he has a long-term mind, knowing that there are many people who want to punish him, and if he is not careful, he may turn around, so he excuses that he is old and weak, and can no longer serve the emperor, and begs to go home Pension.After Li Yi returned to his hometown, he built a large-scale courtyard and built several tunnels under the courtyard in case of emergencies. One of the tunnels led to the ghost land.There are still people living in the ghost land, and the exit of the tunnel is at his house, who is one of Li Yi's henchmen.Once Li Yi died, the secrets of the authenticity would be unknown, and the ghost land would become a wasteland after several upheavals.The flower picker's ancestors served as Li Yi's bodyguards, so it has been passed down from generation to generation, and everyone knows the truth. Li Yi originally had several adopted sons, and when he died, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and each of them took their share of the family business and fled.The huge courtyard of the Li family has become an empty house. When the flower pickers were born, the courtyard of the Li family was already empty with ten rooms and nine empty houses, and there were few people there.The flower pickers took advantage of their connections to live in an authentic house, kidnapped women from good families from outside, and enjoyed them here, and when they were done, they killed the corpses and hid them in the tunnel without anyone noticing.After listening to the narration of the flower picker, Grandpa Cai became angry from his heart and evil from his guts. At that time, he wanted to send him to heaven, but after thinking about it, he had to accompany me to find the entrance of the tunnel, so he was left to live for a while longer. When the entrance of the tunnel opened, Grandpa Cai killed the flower picker with a slap, and entered the entrance alone.Sure enough, as the flower pickers said, there were a dozen naked corpses of women thrown in the cave, all of which were in terrible condition. Grandpa Cai couldn't bear to look any further, so he found a guy to pile up the corpses and buried them in the ground, and then walked along the tunnel. Look ahead.It's not surprising that you say it's strange, the entrance of the tunnel to the ghost land is just under the big bed in the tent, and it's not by accident that Qing Yao didn't find it.Little Lingjie was not sealed after he got in that day. The flower picking thief walked over one day and found it. So they reorganized the tunnel entrances and set up agencies.Grandpa Cai walked to the exit, quietly opened the door, looked up, and couldn't help but yelled, "God help me, there happened to be a big bed on it that was tightly covered. When Grandpa Cai went, a man and a woman were discussing with each other on the bed. When it comes to acting, women are used as bait, and men act, to lure people into the account, gather and annihilate them.
Grandpa Cai was disgusted when he heard that, he turned back to the tunnel, turned around three times, and found another passage for him, which was extremely hidden.It's not that it's extremely difficult for people in the Jianghu to find out, the exit of the passage is near the grassland where Grandpa Cai stayed after rescuing Little Lingjie.So the three of them, young and old, were able to escape calmly that day.Later, Xiao Lingjie revisited the old place along the tunnel with Grandpa Cai, and Grandpa Cai explained to him every detail of the mechanism inside and the news of the ambush.He said that if something unexpected happened in the future, he would hide here for a while.Little Lingjie asked Grandpa Cai how he saved him that day. Grandpa Cai smiled with his beard and said that when he entered the tent with Zhou Tiedan in his arms, he happened to say "ah!" Immediately, he clicked on his sleeping point and let him fall asleep beautifully. Then Grandpa Cai threw himself to the side of the bed, kicked over the big bed, and sneaked into the tunnel with lightning speed, Qing Yao couldn't do anything about it.
Little Lingjie, when he thinks about it, it's really dangerous. That tunnel almost killed him twice. If he had gone earlier, the Qing Yao hadn't come, and the flower pickers were waiting below. finished.This time he was determined to use the authentic way, so that Er Nuo could also experience the feeling of heart-wrenching, life-and-death.
The protagonist who lures Er Nuo into the urn is naturally Zhou Tiedan, because Little Lingjie is worried that Er Nuo will go there himself when Er Nuo hears him calling him a "pig". Coupled with Zhou Tiedan's clever mouth, it shouldn't be difficult to lure Er Nuo into being fooled.
Zhou Tiedan Shi Shiran went outside the gate of Deng's house, and made a bow to the servant who guarded the door, asking him to go in and call Master Deng.The servant was afraid that this poor boy had something to do with the young master, so he had to call, Zhou Tiedan waited for the servant to leave, and then hid aside to find the dirty handkerchief in his pocket that had been smeared with chili noodles.After the inspection, he secretly smiled.
Young master Deng was pinching the delicate face of the little girl in the room, and he was very reluctant to come out. When he came out after a while, he saw that it was Zhou Tiedan, and he was even more angry:
"Hey! You poor man, what do I want to let go of? If you want to let go, hurry up. If you don't care about me, I have business to do. I'm going in."
Zhou Tiedan had expected that he would be so arrogant, so he didn't care, and hurried forward to grab his skirt:
"Master Deng, I'm here to see you for something urgent, can you step aside and talk, it's inconvenient for there to be too many people here."
In fact, there is a doorkeeper at the gate of Deng's house. Zhou Tiedan's purpose of saying this is to arouse Er Nuo's interest, and Er Nuo is really fooled.跟着周铁蛋走到没人处，周铁蛋换好一副苦脸，往四处里逡巡了一圈，说：
"少爷，听说小灵杰那个不识相的得罪您老人家了，是不是？"
二孬早把那回事忘得差不多了，那天他是一时兴之所至，想起上冬学时张老先生对小灵杰的关心爱护，心里极不是味儿，瞅个碴儿羞辱他一下发发怨气。至于那车苞谷，像邓家少爷这种身份，根本就没放在眼里，别说一车就是十车二十车，他想拉走也是拉走，对他是天经地义的事，事隔了这么几天，二孬人又忙，想不起也是情有可原，这回儿给周铁蛋一提醒，想起那天小灵杰低三下四的样儿，竟高兴地哈哈大笑起来：
"有这么一回事，不过嘛！我已经教训过他了。咋地，他还不满意吗？"
周铁蛋心里好笑，不满意，不满意还是小事呢！别看你现在得意，一会儿让你哭都哭不出来。周铁蛋心里这么想，嘴里却说：
"少爷，您老儿没气坏身体就好，小灵杰这小子要说吧，也不是太坏的人，那天也是一时鬼迷了心窍，也做出那等事。
这不，这两天那小子发了急，说邓少爷是咱们村上数一数二的大好人，我咋会那样对他，邓少爷说的话能会有错吗？我竟然还想给他顶嘴，不是太不知高低了嘛。我和他在一块儿玩过两天，他知道上冬学时候咱俩不错，就托我过来说情，要您老儿放宽心肠，大人别计小人过。我说啥也不答应，说邓少爷我们俩好是好，可你这是啥事儿，要赔礼自己去，别把我扯进去，两头难做人，那知那小子一看我不答应，竟然当着我的面儿哭上了，哭得那个痛呀！我实在不忍心了……"
周铁蛋说到这儿哽咽着把头低下了，偷偷地把手帕拿出来了，往脸上一抹，眼泪刷就出来了，周铁蛋的眼睛螯得生疼，暗骂头儿呀头儿，你咋能放这么多辣椒面，辣死了我谁替你办事，好在效果出来了，周铁蛋抬起头，迷糊着婆娑的泪眼，很伤心的样子：
"那小子哭得我实在忍不住，陪着他也掉了不少眼泪，然后我打定主意，给他说，你要想陪罪准备用啥方式，邓少爷可是见过大世面的人，不能说两句好话就算完。那小子一听我松了口，破涕为笑，说我都准备好了，就等你这句话，我到那会儿才晓得上了贼船，但也没办法了，男子汉大丈夫一言九鼎、吐个唾沫砸个坑儿，咋能再舔回去，我只好过来了。
那小子就在那边呆着，就看少爷给我不给这个面子，让小的下不下这个台。 "
邓二孬转了几个眼珠也想不起周铁蛋啥时候和他好过，上冬学时候这小穷鬼一直和小灵杰粘在一起跟我为难，不过这点邓少爷不在乎，只要说他好话他就高兴。邓少爷一高兴就忘了周铁蛋和他是啥哥们儿了。竟然"自低身价"拍了一下周铁蛋的肩膀：
"好！这个面子我就给你了，咱们去看看小灵杰到底孝敬我什么好玩的。"
小灵杰和狗柱坐在河滩上的大柳树下困得直打瞌睡，秋蝉在柳树上扯足了嗓子"嘶啦嘶啦"叫个不停，狗柱瞌睡大，他和小灵杰坐着也说不来话儿，索性往地下一躺，头一摆地"呼鲁"声就响起来了。小灵杰睡不着，当然不是树上凄凉的蝉声搅得，他一直觉得整治二孬的计划有点欠缺，但又说不出来缺在那儿，或者是打定主意之前过于一时之愤，打定主意后又想到了许多有可能造成的可怕后果，毕竟不是几个月前的小灵杰了，受蔡爷爷耳提面命，悉心点拨，他学到了不少以前听都没听过的道理，这些道理一旦深入内心使他的整个思路想法较之以前有了天翻地覆的变化，他认为他已经不再是小孩子，无论干啥事儿都得三思而后行，都不能只顾逞自己一时之快，而忘掉爹妈为自己背的包袱和承担的后果。
周铁蛋远远就看见小灵杰手里挥着小柳条坐在地上，狗柱躺在他旁边一动不动。他还以为头儿没发现跟在他后面的二孬，暗中着急，不由得把对二孬说话的声音又提高了八度，好让头儿听个明白，按原计划行事：
"邓少爷，那不是，小灵杰就坐在那边等着呢，我叫他一声，小——灵——杰！"
小灵杰早就看见周铁蛋瞻前顾后地陪着昂首挺胸的二孬往这边来了，心里更乱，几个想法电光火石般在他头脑里穿梭来去，不知该选择那个。周铁蛋那声一喊，小灵杰于刹那之间下了决心，开弓没有回头箭，邓二孬这小子真该教训一通，算我替天行道，出了事我一力承担，不连累家里人和铁蛋他们俩就得了。
说话间二孬和周铁蛋已经到了身边，周铁蛋背对着头儿又是挤眉又是弄眼。二孬只从鼻孔里冷冷地哼出一声，仰首看天，对小灵杰不予理睬。
小灵杰等周铁蛋着急够了，才慢腾腾地走到二孬面前，笑嘻嘻地说：
"邓少爷，日前小的多有得罪，今儿个给您老人家陪礼道歉了，望您老人家高抬贵手，放小的一马，俗话说得好：将军额头能跑马，宰相肚里能撑船。邓少爷就别和小的一般见识了。"
二孬仰首看天的姿势不变，只从鼻孔里又哼出一声，显然对小灵杰只说这么几句软话不太满意，他在等周铁蛋说的那个好玩的。
小灵杰明白二孬的意思，也不愿再拐弯抹角吊他胃口，索性舍去先时计议不要，顺水推舟接下来说：
"邓少爷，小的当然不会愚笨到这个地步，只说两句好话就想请少爷您慈悲为怀。小的几个和狗柱去打猪草，发现了一个地洞，洞里面十分好玩，邓少爷如有雅兴，就请由我俩带路去看个究竟。"
狗柱这时候也醒来了，一看到轮他发言了忙不迭就扯头儿的袖子：
"头儿，你不是说那个地洞谁也不让他晓得吗？咋会，——，唉？就咱们俩玩儿多好。"
二孬对于他们这帮穷孩子喜欢玩的把戏一向嗤之以鼻，平时连问都不问的，这会儿给周铁蛋和小灵杰灌足了迷魂药，心下不免有些痒痒，又看狗柱那么悻悻的，他觉得地洞想必真的是特别好玩，不如就去看一看吧！
邓少爷这才不再仰首看天，而是看了周铁蛋一眼，有一搭没一搭地问他：
"铁蛋，那咱俩就去看看。"
周铁蛋心里暗骂，你个不要脸的，你他娘的要看就明说，还把黑锅扣我头上，他娘的，你以为你是皇亲国戚，龙子龙孙呀？摆那么大的臭架子，人家给你陪礼你竟然理都不理。
"少爷，您老人家只要有兴致，我周铁蛋就舍命陪着了。。
四个人走的是去鬼地那条通道上发出的那一岔，就是蔡爷爷带小灵杰和铁周蛋出来那口。一路上周铁蛋使尽全身解数，拍得二孬满头雾水，不晓得东南西北，也不问路，昂了头跟着三个穷孩子往圈套里走。
地洞入口处被蔡爷爷伪装过，如不事先知道内情任谁也看不出来。那一片到处都是荒草蒿棵，一旷无垠，地洞入口极不好找。为了增加二孬的好奇感，小灵杰故意让狗柱先满头大汗地找了一遍，狗柱疯狗般地围着他们三个遛了一圈，悻悻而返，没有小灵杰的同意，他当然"找"不到地洞入口。
小灵杰拍着脑袋想了半天：
"奇怪哩，咋会这样呢？我们俩那天还做了标记呢？这可咋办呢？罪不但没陪成，还烦劳邓少爷跟我们白跑一趟。"
二孬一听找不到了就想生气，他倒没意识到三个人只是想吊一下他的胃口，跟着三个穷鬼跑这么大半天，邓家养尊处优的少爷如果不生气那还有少爷派头吗？
"你个小王八羔子，捉弄你家少爷是不是，敢情是一车苞谷还拉得少。"
周铁蛋一看势头不对，这小子火气咋会这么大呢？动不动就想耍耍威风，他还真怕事情闹僵了，好端端的一出戏要砸在邓二孬的牲口脾气上可太不值得。
"邓少爷，别着急，你先坐着息息火，让小灵杰再想想，真想不起来再揍他不迟。"
还是狗柱"聪明"了一把，忽然一拍大腿作惊喜状，对小灵杰大声说：
"头儿，你那天不是说，正午时候洞口正好对着那个那个啥吗？"
小灵杰也"恍然大悟"，"顿开茅塞"：
"少爷，我想起来，狗柱我们俩是吃罢早饭过来，一直玩到后晌才回去，正晌午头儿时候，那棵大树的树梢在地上的影子往前走二十步正好是洞口。"
那棵大树就在四位面前不远处，还没到正晌午。意思就是说只有等下去了。看样子至少得等半个时辰。
二孬可没这个耐性，扭过头气哼哼地看周铁蛋，周铁蛋笑逐颜开：
"少爷，不忙，不忙，晌午饭就在这儿吃了吧！小灵杰早有准备，昨儿个他家里杀了只老母鸡，他特意给您老人家留了两条香酥鸡腿，就在我这儿放着！"
周铁蛋从怀里掏出一个皱巴巴的油布包，一层一层小心翼翼地展开，用鼻子尖嗅了嗅，双手捧着递给邓二孬：
"少爷，小的明白您老人家平日都吃山珍海味，瞧不起这玩意儿，可是没办法，小灵杰家就只能弄这玩意儿孝敬您。您老人家迁就一次，啊！要不，您说让小的们到那儿去找吃的，现在就是回去，也赶不上晌午饭了。"
二孬长这么大还从没受过这份窝囊罪，不停歇地跑了半天，虽说有三个穷小子拿好话一直哄着他，可肚子不争气呀！
这会儿肠子都快饿得缠一块去了，想想周铁蛋说的也在理，二话没说，接过那两只黑乎乎的鸡腿就塞嘴里去了，边吃嘴里还"啊呜啊呜"叫着，看来香酥鸡腿做得还不赖，挺香的。
小灵杰他们三个看平时衣冠楚楚的邓少爷啃鸡腿的狼狈样，肚里笑得前仰后合的，这"香酥鸡腿"是狗柱家的鸡害了病，没精打采地熬了十多天，最后死了，狗柱他妈嫌病鸡太脏，让他提了扔坑塘去。狗柱出去正碰上小灵杰，两下一合计就找了口只剩半拉的铁锅跑野地里去了。秋天柴禾好找，两人在地上刨了个简易灶洞，单撕下两只鸡腿拔了毛锅里一扔，又从坑塘里舀了半锅混水。"呼扇呼扇"地烧了半个多时辰，看鸡腿也差不多熟了，于是从锅里捞出来，包上油布，放了一天，那知竟真的做成二孬的"午饭"了。
三个人候着二孬把两只鸡腿风卷残云般吃个一干二净，日头也到头顶了，正是正午。树影子萎溜在树下一个小小的区域里，不过树梢指的方向还很明晰，小灵杰装模作样地沿着影子往前走了二十步，停下来，左顾右盼一番，面露惊喜，打手势招呼二孬过来。
周铁蛋、狗柱占好位置，二孬上去刚好被挤到洞口旁边，小灵杰用脚在草里拔来拔去，忽然间，就听"咯吱"一声。二孬"哎哟"大叫，左腿已经掉进露出在草丛里的一个黑洞里面去了。这下子可捉弄得邓少爷够呛。一条腿卡在洞里，另一条腿留在洞外，身子后歪着欲出不能，欲入不得。
周铁蛋连忙上去把他拽出来，"狠狠"地责怪了小灵杰一顿：
"你咋会能这样捉弄邓少爷，想找死不是。"
小灵杰一脸的诚惶诚恐，走过去扶起二孬，照他刚才磕住的地方用力捏了两把，关切地问：
"少爷，摔疼你了吗？小的该死，没记准确洞口的位置，小的该死。"
二孬本来就疼得倒抽凉气，大腿上的细皮嫩肉好像给划破了一块儿，火辣辣地像涂了辣椒油，又给小灵杰趁机捏了两把，那个疼呀！邓少爷都快挤出大便来了，还好，邓少爷只顾疼呢，忘了发火了，三个人陪着罪扶着二孬进入了地道，又把暗门关上，地道里霎那间一片漆黑。
按三个人的原计划是要把邓少爷送到那个出口的床下让他听一下洞壁上方的"苦戏"，一进洞小灵杰方才想起上次他们出来以后那个洞清妖进去过，万一要是那条大洞里伏有清妖岂不坏事，但很快他又琢磨不透了，蔡爷爷带他进去那次可是没遇见一个清妖的。这一点就怪蔡爷爷没给小灵杰解释明白了，清妖的带兵将领也是读过几天兵书战策的，等蔡爷爷带着两个小家伙一跑，将领大脑的热度渐渐降了下来，把事情前前后后考虑了一遍，当下就下令把钻入地洞追捕的兵给叫回来了。将领想的是，一入地洞，黑灯瞎火的，况且大凡地道，都有机关埋伏，人家在暗处，如鱼得水，轻车熟路，我们在明处，束手束脚，步履艰难，下去再多的人搜捕也无济于事，一个一个被敌方干掉在里面，倒不如严防出口，造成我在暗处，敌在明处的局势。他们要是敢从地道口出来，出来一个我就逮他一个。所以将领把正在地道心惊胆战，狼奔豕窜的清妖一个一个召回来。帐篷位置不变，床四外却埋伏上了大批弓箭手和快枪手，天天就呆在那儿守株待兔。蔡爷爷知道清妖将领只要不是笨得出奇，就绝对不会把兵搬到地道里，而那个清妖将领据他所知还有些真才实学，非一般酒囊饭袋可比。因而他敢大摇大摆地带着小灵杰像逛大城县城一样在地道里悠哉悠哉地遛圈。小灵杰不知道这些，在从岔道道通往正道的暗门旁边停下了。侧着耳朵贴在冰凉的石壁上倾神细听，什么也没听到，一片死寂。小家伙还以为是石壁太厚，隔了音，所以才听不到，于是呆在洞壁这边犯上难了。
周铁蛋晓得头儿是担心万一一开洞壁，那边埋伏好的清妖一拥而入，这条秘道又被清妖盘踞是小事，二孬的命也可以算是小事，头儿他们三个的命可是大事儿。别的事儿都可以冒险，这种事绝对不能，这关系着身家性命啊！洞里什么都看不见，三个进来过的摸索着走得还算稳当，二孬就惨了，狗柱在前边拉着他拉得东歪西斜，二孬跌跌撞撞一会头上被洞壁磕一下，一会儿腿又给啥碰一下，苦不堪言。狗柱在前面扯着他虽然是故意难为他，狗柱自己的滋味也不大好受，心里暗骂这么沉，真像拉着一条死狗。走着走着"尊贵"的邓少爷真受不了了，带着哭音说他要回去，狗柱一气之下松了手，由他自己爬在地上往前摸，自己赶上李周二位和他们走一块了。三个人在前边为难时候二孬还在后面很远，他一个人又不敢独自折回去，只好慢慢跟在后边。为了给自己壮胆，他一声接一声地大叫："周铁蛋，好兄弟，你在哪儿？"
周铁蛋不去理他，衡量了一下距离，估摸二孬听不清他们谈什么，于是压低了些嗓音对小灵杰说：
"头儿，要不咱们就在这块儿给他点颜色瞧瞧，咱三个揍他个一佛升天，二佛出世，看这小子以后还硬不硬，横不横。
硬的怕横的，横的还怕着一个不要命呢！咱们就给他带来不要命的，看他能把咱们咋地。 "
小灵杰此刻真是山穷水尽，无计可施，出于对前几次历险的后怕，他绝对不致再拿三个人的性命做赌注去开那道暗门，要就此罢休。却又太便宜邓二孬这个小胎里坏。他细想想，事到如今，似乎也只有周铁蛋那个主意还行得通。狗柱一听军师提议要下手揍邓二孬，拳头就捏紧了，"嗬嗬嗬"在黑地里向前挥了几下："头儿，军师，你们俩歇着，揍他这个绣花枕头，我狗柱一个就绰绰有余了。"
小灵杰思绪如麻，又是小孩天性，那两位三撺掇两不撺掇就动了心：
"好，就这么办，记住了，咱们的目的不是往死里打他，而是往怕里打他，一顿下来，得让他以后见着咱三位膝盖就发软，就想跪下来叫咱们爷爷。还有，别照明处打，免得邓少爷回家露了底细，坏咱们大事。"
邓二孬做梦也不会想到他在地上爬到前面仅仅讨来了一顿毒打，他叫得声嘶力竭才听见三个人在前面招呼他：
"邓少爷，快过来吧！我们就等着你啦！"
邓二孬狂喜之下，也没听出三个人的语气来了个大转弯，无暇细想，憋足劲爬了过去。
狗柱最先摸住二孬的脑袋，随手把瓜皮小帽给他一摘，一把抓住粗大的发辫，"蹭"一下把他从地上提起来，猛可里大叫一声"打！"。
周铁蛋和小灵杰四只拳头随着叫声雨点般地就落二孬背上和屁股上了，邓二孬被狗柱揪得痛彻心肺，差点要晕过去，只顾痛这边了，三个人初始的拳头也没觉出疼来，等觉出来时，身上已经挨了三四十下。
小灵杰打得最带劲，三个人中本来就以他拳头最狠，此刻咬着牙闭了眼不由分说对准二孬身上的丰厚之处一顿狠捶。那两位也不示弱，狗柱还边打边叫：
"打死你个狗娘养的，看你以后还欺负人不欺负了，打死你，打死你。"
二孬开始还杀猪似地嚎叫，渐渐得就只听得"呼哧呼哧"的喘气声，底下的那堆肉在三个人手里也像面条一样软了。小灵杰也打累了，又怕万一把二孬打出啥不得劲，他在老爹面前吃不了兜着走是小事，他老爹在邓财主那里没法交待才是麻烦。于是发一声喊，三个人一齐歇手。好半晌躺在地上的二孬才"吮唷吮唷"地开始叫疼。
周铁蛋把他掀起来扔到小灵杰脚底下，小灵杰抹了一把汗，从嘴里吁出一口长气，觉得遍体舒泰，如同喝了玉液琼浆一般。周铁蛋给二孬指派了一个上午，早就忍了一肚子火气，把他扔下后还又捎带上了重重的一脚，二孬吃不住疼，又嚎了几声，方始停下，小灵杰大笑：
"邓少爷，我还以为您老人家不晓得啥叫疼呢？我还以为只有我们小王八羔子才会哭才会熬不住疼了哭爹叫娘，您老人家也强不到哪儿去呀？也不撒泡尿照照你那张狗脸。"
周铁蛋也在一边兴灾乐祸地帮腔：
"邓少爷，真是对不住，小的要早知道他们俩叫您过来是要教育您打死我我也不敢让您老人家出来，唉！大错铸成，悔之晚矣！悔之晚矣！我周铁蛋今生恐怕是死无葬身之地了。"
狗柱在旁边已经歇过了劲，小灵杰教他的词儿没进洞就用完了，他天生拙嘴笨舌，不会说句囫囵话，看头儿和军师两个人骂得酣畅淋漓，一发急，还真给他憋出来一句：
"你个小狗娘养的，还不赶快乞求头儿饶你一条狗命，要不然，我狗柱的拳头可是吃荤还带着不长眼，你就等着享受吧！"
二孬真让这一通老拳揍怕了，现在谁让他咋着他都会咋着，只要别让他死或者再让他挨打，就是让骂他亲爹是小王八羔子他都会毫不犹豫，一听二孬那么说，二孬立刻就爬到小灵杰面前，抱住他的双腿了：
"小灵杰，二孬有眼不识泰山，冒犯了你，以后我再也不敢了，求你给我一条生路，我今生今世感恩戴德。"
"你这会儿不是邓少爷了？"
"不是，不是，您才是李少爷。"
"二孬，你说，你该着该不着叫我一声爷爷。"
"该着，该着，李爷爷，你就饶了小的吧！我真的以后再也不敢冲撞您老儿了。"
周铁蛋和狗拉在旁边抿着嘴笑，笑完了又命令二孬再叫，二孬人在屋檐下，不得不低头，服服贴贴地又叫了七声，小灵杰终于开了腔：
"好了，乖孙孙，你李爷爷就看在你年龄小，不懂事的面上，饶了你这回，以后要是再不三不四，你就提着脑袋找你李爷爷陪罪吧！哈哈哈！起来吧！你这条没骨头的狗，做你爷爷我还觉得丢脸呢！你个狗娘养的！"
二孬一连答了十来个"是"，如蒙大赦地爬起来，老老实实地靠着小灵杰，讨好地问他：
"李爷爷，您老人家还有什么吩咐？"
小灵杰"嗯"了一声不说话，周铁蛋接上来给他约法三章：
"第一，回家别给你老爹说是挨了揍，就说走路没长眼大平路上摔了一跤，第二，你老爹问你中午在哪儿吃的饭，也不要实说，理由已经给你找好了，就说老同学聚会。第三，你李爷爷的苞谷折合成银钱，三天内务必送过来。要钱的理由嘛就说是老同学聚会原
