Chapter 31 Beating Children

Mr. Li Qi and Li Ji stopped his mount when he arrived in front of his house. He quickly turned over and got off the horse and slapped the door directly, smashed it hard a few times, and the gate of the courtyard opened from inside.

Seeing that the eldest son Li Ying was opened, Li Zhengqi breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could greet Li Ying, he asked first, "Is the family good?"

This question made Li Ying continue to be shocked and he quickly replied: "The family is well, the mother and younger brother and sister are well."

Hearing this, Li Ji, who was still tense, completely relaxed, with a little tired expression on his face, waved his hand and said, "Go and tie the horses up, get some food, and run back early in the morning!"

Li Ying quickly walked out and shouted before going out: "Dad is back!"

Hearing this, the Li family ran out of the room. The youngest daughter Li Chunhua ran a few steps and rushed into Li Zongqi's arms to act coquettishly. Li Zongqi also responded with a smile, while Li He was full of excitement and spoke as he approached.

"Dad, once you are not with us, these hundred households will be in trouble, and then Zhu Da is even more arbitrary!"

"What's wrong?"

"Everyone slept well last night, but I don't know what happened. The dog barked a few times. The boy from the Zhu family didn't know what was wrong. He came over at night to knock on the door and asked us to knock on the gong. The trouble made all the households not sleep all night. The next day, my son asked them to argue, but the boy actually dared to hit someone. Dad, my arm hurts again!" Li He said with jealousy.

Li Chunhua's eyes widened in Li President Li's arms. This was the first time she heard this. Li Chunhua's two brothers were older by children younger than her, so she naturally had no face to talk at home.

"That poor boy Zhu Da actually dares to bully his second brother. Dad, you have to slap him hard!" Li Chunhua shouted angrily.

Hearing this, Mr. Li put down his daughter in his arms, stared at Li He and asked, "Is it Zhu Da who came over and called you to knock on the clapper?"

"Yes, my elder brother and I were both frightened at that time. I thought something had happened, so we hurriedly rang it out. But the next day I realized that I was frightened by that kid. Dad, this kid doesn't know that the sky is high now. If I don't deal with it hard, I might not have to make up for something next time. What should I do if the bandits really come next time!" Li He leaned closer again.

General Banner Li Ji nodded and asked in a muffled voice: "What will you do next time?"

"Next time? My son will definitely not be so stupid next time. I'll sleep hard and ignore him!" Li He said carelessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his father, Mr. Li, raise his arm. His movement was not like a thumbs up and praise, but a prelude to slap him.

The military officers in the ward office never reasoned in disciplining their children and would beat them directly. Li He was beaten a lot, and his body subconsciously shrank.

Mr. Li moved halfway, but saw Li He's inconvenient shoulder, and the slap he was about to slap in mid-air, sighed, then put it down, then raised and grabbed Li He, stared at his eyes and said, "Listen to me, what will Zhu Da ask you to do next time? Listen to me!"

"Dad, why are you beating your second brother for an outsider?" Li Chunhua screamed at the side. She was the only one who was qualified to say this in the Li family.

While talking, Mr. Li's wife and eldest son Li Ying rushed over. Seeing the scene in the house, they were all confused. Is it just to beat his own child? Li Ying was even more confused and stared at his younger brother and sister. Of course, Li He and Li Chunhua dared not say anything.

Li Ying sent a bowl of hot water here. The general flag Li Ji drank it in big gulp. Then he sat down. His wife Li Dingshi angrily said, "They can just make trouble among the children, but you can't beat your own children. You can't help your own family and you can't help outsiders..."

"What do you know! Why do I come back so quickly? It's because two families in Xiama Village were washed away by blood. One was a hundred households in charge and the other was a salt seller. Wang Baihu, you have seen him. None of them left at home were left. The two female family members were kidnapped in life or death. They were almost killed. The three-year-old child did not run away. The salt dealer's family was killed cleanly..."

General Banner Li Ji interrupted his wife's anger and roared in the main hall. When he heard this, the others looked pale and became more and more scared as they thought about it. Li Ying and Li He's body trembled even more.

"...I know I'm afraid, but Lao Wang also told me that there are so many troubles in our village, and the bandits dare not enter the village. They are idle and have nothing to do. As a result, people came to report the death to the village the next day. The bandits washed two villages in a row last night, and more than a dozen people died. All the houses were robbed. These thieves who were killed were specifically targeting military officers and salt dealers..."

"...... Think about it now, thanks to the boy of the Zhu family who was alert and beat the clapper, the bandits outside did not know the truth and were afraid of trouble, otherwise, our households would probably be the first to suffer. Even if they did not suffer that night, they would suffer the disaster the night before. What are you two bastards going to do next time? You must listen to what Zhu Da said, do you know that he saved your lives?"

Li Ji was very excited and angry, but everyone knew that he was afraid. The night before seemed to be nothing, but it was extremely dangerous. If it were the same as ordinary nights, the thieves would definitely touch the village and act recklessly, and the targets were the Li Zongqi and Xiang family, because the ones with more wealth in these hundreds of households were Zhuangtou Zongqi and the salt dealer. If they really wanted to come in, they would definitely not be able to escape. How could they not be afraid?

"I heard something wrong in Xiama Village, but I didn't knock the chung in advance, and there was no emergency response at this time. The whole village was jokingly afraid to move. Thanks to Zhu Da's preparations in advance, he scared the thief... You know what I was scared, so I rode back in the morning..."

Everyone in the room was frightened. Li Dingshi recited Buddha there. Li Ying and Li He looked pale and couldn't stand it. Who would have thought that the night before was so dangerous. He was really on the verge of life and death. Only Li Chunhua was watching back and forth inexplicably, but she was also frightened by the atmosphere in the room and dared not speak.

Mr. Li became more and more angry as he spoke, pointing at Li Ying and Li He and shouting: "You two bastards, go and apologize to Zhu Da. Someone has saved our whole family. Do you know, and you are still there stupidly. Go and apologize politely. If there is anything wrong with politeness, I will break your legs!"

Yesterday, he was beaten to find trouble, and when he went to catch fish in the morning, he was seen again. Now he was going to apologize. The two brothers of the Li family immediately felt bitter. This was too embarrassing. In front of the whole village, he was about to explain his request, but he saw Li Ji, the general flag whip, and the two dared not delay and walked out quickly.

When the two sons went out, Mr. Li leaned back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said again: "It scared me."

"Our family is the head of the family. Zhu Da is the child of a military officer. Why not be so polite to him and embarrass the two children." Li Ding complained that the military officers of the garrison were all married to each other, and Li Ding was also from the garrison, and was not an ignorant woman in the countryside.

"Zhu Da is only twelve years old now, and he has such insights and will be better in the future. Such a person must have great prospects in the future. If our family gets closer to them, there will definitely be benefits in the future." Mr. Li said it very clearly.

The couple looked at each other, but they both looked at Li Chunhua on the side. His little daughter was seen for no reason, but she didn't know what was going on.

At this time, Zhu Da was practicing martial arts with Zhou Qingyun. Zhou Qingyun was a lazy person. Zhu Da had only been practicing for half an hour, and he grabbed Zhu Da to fight, saying that this was how he could practice quickly.

If you know nothing, you will be frightened by what he said. However, Zhu Da has experience and refuses with a smile. His routine is not proficient in subconsciously mastering it. It will be of no benefit to actual combat. If you learn routines and fight when you are in battle, you will not use any tricks at all.

"I have heard an old saying that you sweat more often and bleed less during wartime. Qingyun, don't slack off, practice quickly!"

Before he knew it, Zhu Da had already established his prestige. Although he spoke kindly, Zhou Qingyun subconsciously felt that he should do it, because Xiang Bodu listened and the adults in the village felt that it made sense, so of course he could not be ambiguous.

The two of them didn't practice for a long time when they heard the sound of slapping the door. Zhou Qingyun immediately stopped and ran over to open the door. As soon as he moved, he was stopped by Zhu Da and said seriously: "We didn't agree that I'll walk in front of me, and you'll be in the back ten steps."

Zhou Qingyun slapped his forehead and said with a sarcastic smile: "I forgot, this is in broad daylight, why are you doing so carefully!"

"We don't pay attention to it normally, and we can't pay attention when it's important." Zhu Da replied.

Because Zhou Qingyun's shooting skills are good, he can cover and attack from a long distance, so Zhu Da made an agreement with Zhou Qingyun, but it was agreed that only two days ago that Zhou Qingyun has never been a meticulous person and has not yet formed a habit.

Before he opened the ward, he heard the noise outside. Zhu Da did not open the door, but first lay on the crack in the door and looked out. He was not so cautious in his life in those years, but Zhu Da was extremely cautious these days, for fear that a slight negligence would be doomed.

Looking out, Zhu Da smiled and turned around and said, "It's the two brothers of the Li family, and there are many people watching the fun."

"Didn't Mr. Li come?"

"Not coming."

"Aren't you back? Do you dare to come over if your brothers don't ask you? "

When Zhou Qingyun heard that Mr. Li did not come, he immediately became careless. Zhu Da smiled and opened the door. He saw the strange-looking Li brothers and the villagers watching. Compared with the Li brothers yesterday, there were many people watching at this time, and the gloating expression on his face was not concealed.

The smile on Zhu Da's face turned into a sneer, and Zhou Qingyun behind him also coughed as agreed. Zhu Da was not afraid at all. The two brothers of the Li family didn't know how to fight and didn't dare to give up. The result this time would not be much better than yesterday.

Li Ying and Li He took a step forward, and Zhu Da retreated into the door. There was a short stick next to the door, which could be grabbed at any time. However, Li Ying and Li He bowed awkwardly and said, "Zhu Da, yesterday was wrong, we brothers, and we don't know the good people's hearts. I'm sorry, please don't be surprised!"

The onlookers were thrilled. I thought the Li brothers were going to take revenge. Who would have thought that they would apologize so humbly. The children of the Master of the General Banner apologized to the military households and the salt dealers' families. Is it wrong today? Some people subconsciously look at the sky.

“It’s snowing…”

I don’t know who called it out, but everyone looked up. The snow was not heavy and it was falling down.
