In the late afternoon, smoke from cooking began to rise in Hong Village. Men who had been busy all day leaned against the courtyard drinking tea and chatting, while women were busy preparing dinner on the stove. Cha Wenbin rubbed his head and finally woke up, still feeling a bit dizzy. Seeing himself lying on an unfamiliar bed, his first reaction was that he had lost face today.
"Master is awake, come and drink a bowl of honey water to sober up."
"It's really sorry." Zhang Wenbin said while splashing his face with cold well water, "I've caused you trouble, I should go."
"Go, don't go, stay here tonight, the work on the mountain was finished this afternoon. I flipped through the old calendar and tomorrow is a good day for moving graves. Why not take the two old ones to their new graves early tomorrow morning? You can just stay here."
"It's not that it can't be done, it's just that it can't be done." Old Kong was being too polite, Cha Wenbin pushed back: "Even if we move tomorrow, I still need to go back and pack my things, by the way, where are my two brothers?"
"Hey, over here!" Fatso shouted outside the door, waving at Zha Wenbin: "Master Zha, your drinking capacity is really not great, isn't Kong Lao's daughter-in-law's bed soft? Why don't we sleep another night?"
That dead fat man, Cha Wenbin heard that he was sleeping in a woman's room, his face suddenly turned red, and he didn't dare to stay any longer. He hastily bid farewell to Old Man Kong and rushed back with the two of them. Along the way, Cha Wenbin wanted to ask questions several times but swallowed his words. Ye Qiu wore a white shirt today, which was unusual for him, as he didn't seem to have such clothes in his impression.
They had been holding it in until they reached the Wu Li Pu, but Cha Wenbin finally couldn't hold it in anymore. Looking at Baozi's face with a guilty expression, he said at his doorstep: "This afternoon, didn't you two hide something from me?"
Fatso looked up at the sky, then scratched his own scalp with his hand, anyway, he didn't face Cha Wenbin directly. "Hey, you said Lao Er, when was it that our Old Master Cha last drank?"
"Stop beating around the bush," Zhang Wenbin asked irritably, "Qiuer, what's going on? I see your pants are torn like that and your clothes don't seem to be yours either. Did you get into a fight with someone?"
Ye Qiu was not like Huang Yaming, he spoke simply: "Nothing, there's something I'll tell you later."
Zha Wenbin also became anxious: "Can't you guys talk about it now? If not, then don't go back to sleep, we'll just stay here at the door."
"Look, Big Brother," Fatso glanced at Ye Qiu, he didn't have the slightest intention of speaking up, if Ye Qiu hadn't said he had a plan, Fatso would have spoken directly, "Actually this afternoon we..."
Just as he said that, someone from afar suddenly shouted: "Is it Master Cha? Are you Master Cha Wenbin?"
The three of them turned around and saw a flashlight flashing on the opposite side of the road, accompanied by the sound of a bicycle bell ringing "ding ding dong dong". A young man wearing a tank top and covered in sweat was pushing his bicycle towards them.
"I am Zhang Wenbin, who are you?"
"Master Zhang, please hurry back with me. I am the eldest son of Kong's second brother, my name is Kong Wu. As soon as you left, something happened in the village and my uncle asked me to find you. Luckily, I've finally found you after chasing all this way..."
Looking at his anxious and flustered appearance, Cha Wenbin hastily comforted him: "Speak slowly...".
"Oh no, it's too late! My uncle's house is almost surrounded by people. A kid somehow sneaked into the Great Hall this afternoon and was found with a sachet on his body by an adult in front of the door at dusk. When they rushed inside to take a look, that kid had almost... I don't know what to say. You quickly come back with me..."
One of Cha Wenbin's reactions was: Could it be that the two old men from the Kong family have come back to life? However, he quickly dismissed this answer. The bones of the two old men were ones he had personally picked up, and their bodies had already rotted away to white skeletons, making it impossible for them to have come back to life. As soon as he turned his head, something big happened, Cha Wenbin hastily went back inside to grab his things and followed Kong Wu in a hurry, with Ye Qiu and Pangzi also following closely behind.
This Hong village is really evil, when Cha Wenbin and his group arrived, the Kong family's mansion had been surrounded by three layers of people outside and inside. Old Man Kong tightly locked the gate and didn't dare to open it. The people outside were emotionally agitated, some scolding, others smashing things, and a few holding firecrackers saying they wanted Old Man Kong to pay with his life. Some people were lifting wooden planks preparing to force their way in, the situation was chaotic.
When he arrived, he happened to meet Xia Laoliu and the Qiushi family. After asking, they were also having dinner. Hearing that the Kong family was surrounded, someone's child had an accident, and they all came in a hurry. Now they are still confused.
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Since Kong Lao Da won't open the door, let's go back and first dig up his parents' graves, then come back and burn this damn place to ashes! Killing one person isn't enough, he dares to come again!" "Good!" "Let's go, first smash his ancestral temple!"
Zha Wenbin hastily blocked a furious man and asked: "Big brother, what's wrong with this?"
Unexpectedly, the man saw that it was Cha Wenbin and his anger seemed to grow even more. He raised his palm and swung it down, Cha Wenbin reacted too slowly and was about to take a solid hit, but fortunately someone grabbed the man's wrist first.
The burly man didn't expect his hand to be caught by a weak and frail young man, which was exactly what he needed right now. With one hand, he swung his rifle at Ye Qiu's head and shouted: "You little brat, I think you're looking for death!"
At this time, things were about to get out of hand. Xia Laoliu hastily pushed through the crowd and rushed in, shouting: "Ma Dapao, you dare to move and try!"
"Sixth Master, don't bother with this matter today. Even if the King of Heaven himself came to plead for mercy, it would be useless. I'm going to make Kong Lao Da pay with his life for my nephew's death! Whoever dares to stop me, I'll kill them today. These few young bastards and that son of a bitch Kong Lao Da are all in cahoots, using their wicked ways to harm the people of Hong Village. Today, I'm going to take justice into my own hands!"
Ma Dapao is a well-known roughneck in Hongcun Village, he's a stonemason, and just like his appearance, he's simple-minded but physically strong. The Ma family is a small household with three brothers, Ma Dapao being the youngest, and they have a daughter below him. If something happened to his nephew, it would be Ma Erlang. Among the three brothers, only his house has an only son, who is only five or six years old this year, living in the back of the Grand Hall.
"Hey, calm down, we need to figure this out. You're waving your knife and gun around..." Xia Laoliu tried to persuade him first, as he was a impulsive person who didn't think about the consequences, if he got too agitated and accidentally fired the gun, it would be murder.
Fatso didn't have a good temper either, seeing Ye Qiu being pushed around by someone, he suddenly found a crowbar somewhere, the steel bar with screw threads was sharp at both ends, and a flying kick came from outside, shouting: "You dog! Dare to move your hands, I'll take care of you today!"
"Damn it, you dare to move!" Ma Da Pao's eyes turned red with rage at this moment, his neck stretched up and his eyeballs bulged bigger than copper bells, he roared at the fatty: "Dare to come and I'll blow him up first!"
Fatty didn't even bother with him, his pace didn't slow down, the crowbar in his hand was already raised, these two were a perfect match. Fatty really did charge at Ma Dapao with all his might, and Ma Dapao's fingers actually went to pull the trigger, the crowd started screaming "Ah!", those who sensed something was off began to scatter, it seemed a bloody fight was about to begin.
"Bang!" A loud gunshot rang out, accompanied by a strong smell of gunpowder and a burst of smoke. "Clang!" The barrel of Ma Dapao's rifle fell to the ground, its cut end smooth as if polished. In that split second, Xia Laoliu quickly grabbed the fat man and threw him aside, but Ma Dapao didn't withdraw his hand. However, he never expected that the young man he had been holding at gunpoint would make a move before he did.
No one saw how Ye Qiu drew out the black dagger from his back, nor did they see how he kicked it towards Ma Dapao's chest. In the instant that Ma fell backwards, a cold moonlight flashed by, cutting off the muzzle of the gun that was already pointing upwards. The next second, the blade of the knife was already pressed against Ma Dapao's neck.
Here is a group of peasants, working from dawn to dusk, the vast majority of whom have only been to the county town, and some have not even been there. They have their own way of doing things and village rules that have been formed over the years, when one family has trouble, hundreds of families come to help, but now when someone in their own village is beaten to the ground by outsiders, no one dares to take another step forward, it's unimaginable in the past, go ask around the surrounding three towns and dozens of villages, which outsider dare to make trouble in Hongcun?
Perhaps it's the human heart that has a deep-seated fear of the strong, and in the face of an absolute strong person, even the most ferocious opponent will surrender. Ye Qiu belonged to this category, he was too strong, and the phrase "silence is golden" suited him perfectly. The ancient and cold Moonlight emitted a cold and dark aura, the sharp blade easily cut through his opponent's skin and slowly invaded downwards, he didn't need to use force, Ma Dabao could feel the knife tearing open his body, the crimson blood flowed slowly down his chest...
"Autumn, stop!" Cha Wenbin hastily came to mediate. What's with this guy's eyes today? Suddenly there was a hint of murderous intent in them. He seemed to really want to take Ma Dapao's life. Cha Wenbin had never seen Ye Qiu like this before - fierce, bloodthirsty, and even a little frightening.
In that instant, his eyes suddenly returned to their previous cold state, sheathing the knife as if everything was none of his concern. He slowly walked out of the crowd, no one daring to stop him. He was like a lone wolf, living in his own world without needing any reason.
