Chapter 66: A magical past (8)
When my master came to his senses, he found that Liu San was still in a daze, and Old Li was standing in front of him. The gun in his hand had already been in Old Li’s hand. At this time, the servants in the courtyard came in droves. Several people had already rushed into the room. Seeing this, my master and the two of them quickly went to Old Li.
At this time, Liu San finally came to his senses. The first thing he saw was Lao Li standing in front of him with a gun in his hand, looking amused. Then he saw that several servants had already rushed in.
“Don’t make any sudden moves!” Liu San shouted, he was used to living a good life and was very careful with his own life.
“Li Hou, you go guard the gate and don’t let anyone out.” Li Li Hou was told by Li, and then he said to Liu San, “Go to the courtyard. Isn’t it too stuffy here? Call everyone out.”
Li Lihou promised and ran to the gate, while Liu San was dragged to the courtyard, along with the servants who followed him to the courtyard.
At this time, my master asked Chen Liren, “Why did you tell Brother Li to guard the gate?”
“Nonsense. If we don’t guard the gate, what if the people who participated in the attack that day escape? My master is the kind of person who either doesn’t do anything or does it to the extreme. Anyway, no one who participated in the attack that day will escape.
“But can Brother Li guard the gate alone?”
“Of course he can. I’ve only been with my master for seven years, and my skills are only so-so. But my senior brother is also an orphan. He was picked up by my master when he was born, and it’s been 15 years now. He’s no problem with the masters of the martial arts world, and he can’t even watch a few country-style masters?
My master nodded, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart. But he still asked Chen Liren a question: “What was that roar just now? I was so startled by it that I felt numb all over for a while. Was it the same as the time I was roared at by the weasel?”
“There is a difference, but it is similar. Do you know the Buddhist lion’s roar? Taoism also has this technique, called the soul-shaking roar, which is aimed at people. Do you know about little children? Sometimes they can be scared out of their souls by a sudden roar. Master, this roar is the same principle. Just now, when we were in the room, he just roared casually. If he had used his full strength, Liu San’s soul would have been shaken out.” Chen Liren explained to my master.
This kung fu is not that mysterious. In fact, martial artists also have the same kung fu, which emphasizes a burst of breath. In modern terms, it is similar to the influence of sound waves, but the requirements for kung fu are relatively harsh. A master who has truly perfected this kung fu has a long burst of breath. When he really initiates kung fu, that is terrifying.
While the two were talking, Liu San had already been dragged to the middle of the courtyard. A dozen servants surrounded the three of them, afraid to move, and the situation was strange.
What were those people afraid of? Even my ten-year-old master could see it. First, they were afraid that Liu San would get into trouble because of his recklessness and would not be able to take responsibility. The second thing was the most important, and that was the box cannon in Lao Li’s hand.
Old Li was very cool, and the dozen servants were not at all in his eyes. He tore Liu San’s clothes and tied him up, and asked, “Is this all of your people?”
“No, apart from my family, there are some female servants, and two old men, one is the housekeeper, and the other is the night watchman.” Liu San was honest when his life was in the hands of others.
“Call everyone,” said Lao Li, and then kicked Liu San to his knees, while he himself stood by, looking calm.
Before long, all the members of the Liu family were called in, including Liu San’s wife and two concubines, and even his four-year-old daughter was brought along. The little girl was still asleep when she was brought into the courtyard and only woke up when she saw her father kneeling in the courtyard with his hands tied.
As soon as she woke up, she shouted, “Beat him, beat him, go and kill the people who bullied my father.”
The voice was crisp, but the words made old Li frown. How could a little girl be so vicious and domineering?
“Your daughter is well-educated.” Old Li looked at Liu San and said in a neutral tone, the sarcastic meaning is self-evident.
Liu San was distressed by his daughter and quickly shouted, “Lai Feng, don’t shout.” When he shouted, it was estimated that one of his wife’s women quickly covered the little girl’s mouth.
Old Li led my master to Liu San and said, “Liu San, do you recognize him?”
Liu San had not noticed my master before, but after taking a closer look and thinking about it, his face immediately turned ashen. He had some impression of him from the village. Wasn’t he the little boy who had been tending the cows?
Seeing Jiang Xiaor, couldn’t he still remember the incident of killing the old man who was tending the cattle? He had oppressed and killed more than one person in this area, including the nearby villages. He never thought that the little boy who was tending the cattle, whom he didn’t even bother to kill, would come looking for him one day.
Liu San was a cautious person. He had killed many people, but whenever he felt that someone’s family would pose a threat, he would either cripple them or get them into jail. This cowherd…
At this thought, Liu San sighed: “You don’t get rid of the roots…”
Hearing this, my master could no longer hold back. This Liu San is simply the worst. Not only does he not repent, but he even blames himself for not getting rid of the root. My master pounced on him and gave him a fierce bite on his shoulder. Immediately, Liu San screamed like a pig. In a moment, the blood flowed down the corner of my master’s mouth, but my master bit down hard and wouldn’t let go.
It was so hateful that he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood!
“Jiang Xiaor, come here. The account will be settled.” In the end, Lao Li led my master over. At this time, my master’s eyes were wide open with anger, and his mouth was full of blood. He looked quite frightening. You have to know that he is only a ten-year-old child.
“Liu San, point out to me all the people who participated in beating up old Jiang that day. I will grant you a quick death, or I guarantee that today, including your family, none of you will escape. Don’t doubt my skills.” Old Li looked like a big gangster at this time, and the threat was on the table.
Chen Liren couldn’t help but say, “Tsk, tsk, my master’s natural heart is getting more and more seasoned, even when he’s acting like a gangster, he’s so natural.”
When Li heard this, he glared at Chen Liren, who then stuck out his tongue and dared not speak.
Liu San probably knew that he was doomed, and that Lao Li’s threats were effective. He pointed to three people weakly and said, “There was another person who was seriously injured by that mad cow the other day, and he died a year later. These are the only people.”
Those who were named suddenly changed their expressions. It looked like they were not going to run away because of the box cannon.
On the contrary, after listening calmly, Old Li threw the gun to Chen Liren, then looked at my master and said, “Fight the bad guys with me.”
After saying that, Old Li rushed into the crowd and started fighting. My master was also fired up and picked up a stone and rushed up after him.
Li beat up all the men there, but he focused on the three people who had been called out. At this point, the servants naturally wanted to resist, but they couldn’t even get two moves in against Li.
Of course, some tried to run away, but Li Lihou kicked them back into the courtyard in no time.
In a short time, the courtyard was filled with groans. Within twenty minutes, all the men were knocked out and unable to get up. My master was still holding a rock and was still hitting the man who had participated in the beating of the old man Jiang.
“That’s enough,” said Lao Li, taking my master by the arm and speaking softly.
Then he looked at the people in the courtyard and said, “You have also committed many sins. I have broken your limbs as a slight punishment. If you commit evil again in the future, what you will lose is your life.”
Yes, everyone in the courtyard had their limbs broken by Old Li, except for the three people. The others might be able to recover if they were treated well, but Old Li had crushed the bones of the three people, and they would never recover.
At this point, Liu San’s urine and feces had actually leaked out of his pants. Old Li looked at Liu San with disgust and said, “Li Ren, give the gun to Jiang Xiaorou.”
