Chapter 5: Brave

The fifth chapter is brave ()
This small town market, Zhang Xiaohua is not the first time. After all, it is the most lively time of the year, and it is also the most lively place in the dozens of miles. He has come to see him every year since he remembered it. But when I came here, the memories were all those who had sugar, noodles, etc., and there was no other content. I never thought of crowding, or it was a game in the crowd, which made him young. . This time, when he stood at the north exit of the street, looking at the crowds, watching the shops selling all kinds of shipments, gadgets, eating shops, stalls, Zhang Xiaohua only hated a few eyes. feel.
Zhang Cai’s family followed the crowd and walked slowly from the north of the street to the depths of the street. Every time they walk through a shop, they have to squeeze in and see, whether it is selling silk, selling antiques, or even having a pharmacy, they also stop for a while. The Zhang Xiaohua brothers are not only looking at the things they are selling, but also watching the crowds around them. When they look at so many people in the small villages on weekdays, especially the girls who are beautifully dressed and swaying, they are more attractive to the teenagers. . It’s a pity that the three people look ordinary, dressed in simplicity, and they look at the people living in the mountain village. The girls’ eyes are also slipping through them, far from staring at them. Sometimes girls feel their burning eyes, naturally shy. The quick step left, and some of them turned to look at them. Instead, they made the three faces red and unnatural. Zhang Xiaohua only sees more fresh than childhood. Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu’s brothers see more of the future. Perhaps they want to meet the girl who is satisfied, find their happiness, and see that the girls are mostly not paying attention. Their eyes don't know how the little brothers are thinking.
There is a big facade in the middle of the street, with a sign "Qianjia Cloth". Zhang Cai saw it, his eyes lit up, and he greeted the three brothers of Zhang Xiaolong. He walked in first. Standing at the door of the shop, the guy stood in and saw Zhang Cai coming in. He greeted him and greeted him: "Guest officer, please come in, what do you want to see?" It seems that he did not pay attention to Zhang Cai’s cramped and his body is not new. Clothes.
After Zhang Cai walked into the cloth shop, he did not go directly to the counter. Instead, he stood next to the door and cramped the many male and female customers and the rushing folks in the shop. I don’t know what to do, I heard the greetings from the folks. This is only after returning to God, he said: "This, give the children some clothes, and then give the child's mother, also buy a piece of cloth." During the talk, the three brothers of Zhang Xiaolong also came in, after all, it is rare to enter this Big shop, just look at it, now it is to buy things yourself, but I don’t know how to say it, and it’s a little bit shrinking. This buddy is not ignorant, smiles are still sent, meet them: "Please ask a few people here to see if there is a suitable fabric."
Say, take them to the corner of the counter and show them the fabric on top. There are obviously fewer people at this corner of the counter. There are two people in the first place. One is a young girl. They are bowing their heads and picking up the color. The other is a family of three. With the children, they also pick the fabric. There are buddies to give the package. In addition to the rest of the corner, the counters are all decorated with colorful bright satin and other fabrics. The people around them are surrounded by a lot of people who are brightly dressed and commented. It seems that the shop's folks also have good training, knowing the needs of customers, and seeing Zhang Cai's family wearing them knows that they need to be durable and durable, rather than a bells and whistles.
Although the buddy has been very intimate, with Zhang, they came to the right place, but Zhang Cai still has a hard time, because the place where he bought the cloth has always been the child, his mother, the buyer, what to buy, what to buy The color does not need Zhang Cai to worry about, this time because the grandmother who is accompanying the child at home, this allows Zhang Cai to buy cloth, Zhang Cai did not think so much, went to the store, but did not know what to buy. Looking at the ugly face of the buddy, Zhang Xiaolong was in a hurry and quickly went forward. He said to the buddy: "Let's take a look and say, let's greet other guests first."
After the buddy walked away, Zhang Cai couldn’t help but regret: "You look at my brain. When I left, I didn’t ask what kind of cloth you bought. This is good, we are a few big men, I have to go back empty-handed."
It’s also a coincidence that the two girls who had just selected the fabric were slightly taller, just after Zhang Xiaolong’s body, picked up a piece of navy blue cloth on the counter, and heard Zhang’s words, then walked back to the companion’s side. Looked at Zhang Xiaolong again, it seems that it was a discussion, and this came over and said to Zhang Cai:
"This uncle, discuss things with you."
Zhang Cai wondered: "What's the matter? Girl"
The tall girl said, "Uncle, I am trying to pick a piece of clothes for my brother, but he didn't come over. I think it's about the same size as the big brother. I wonder if I can ask him to help? I heard you say, no. There is no reference to the fabric. In return, I will give you a reference to my sister."
Zhang Caixi looked out and said: "Very good, very good."
So Zhang Xiaolong took the clothes rack and helped the two girls to try a few clothes, which was satisfactory. Zhang Cai’s wish was better satisfied. The fabrics and colors that the two girls helped them to pick up made Zhang Cai’s family very satisfied. Even the shop’s folks thought that the girl’s eyes were very good. The only thing that made Zhang Xiaolong dissatisfied was that when the guys helped them wrap the fabric out, the two girls had gone far and had not yet inquired about their names.
Zhang Xiaolong was holding the fabric and walking with Zhang Cai. When he was preparing to look at the farm tools in the roadside shop, he suddenly heard the sound of knocking and drumming. Zhang Xiaohua heard it and said excitedly:
"Oh, fast, the drama is about to begin. Let's go to the theater first."
Just when Zhang Xiaohua called Zhang Cai, the crowds who heard the crowd also heard the buzz. Everyone went to the other side, and Zhang Cai quickly greeted Xiaolong and Xiaohu, and walked quickly with the flow of people.
There is a custom in the New Year of Luzhen. There will be a big stage in the market, and there will be a troupe performing every day until the market is over. This is also a major event for the farmers who have no entertainment. It is no wonder that Xiaohua is so happy.
When Zhang Cai’s family rushed to the stage, the big drama on the stage had already begun. There were already three people on the inside and outside. Fortunately, the stage was high enough, and the people in front did not block their sight. Although there are many people watching the show, they all listen to the breath and listen carefully, not like the noise of the shop.
The stage was staged by a popular story of the people. Everyone looked at it with gusto, and Zhang Xiaolong gradually forgot the confession.
Just when everyone was watching the excitement, on the other side of the stage, there was a loud noise, and it was louder and louder. It was just a lot of people who couldn’t listen to it. However, Zhang Xiaohua heard it. The voice of a girl who is talking is very familiar. Is it the person she knows in the village? Just next to the tree, Zhang Xiaohua climbed up and looked at it. Hey, he really knew. He said loudly to Zhang Xiaolong: "Big brother, it is the sister who just gave us clothes! She is in trouble. ""
When Zhang Xiaolong heard it, he did not care about Zhang Cai’s saying. He quickly pushed the person next to him and squeezed the crowd out. He walked over to the other side of the stage. Zhang Cai also quickly pulled Zhang Xiaohu and shouted from the tree. Zhang Xiaohua, followed by
When Zhang Xiaolong spent a lot of time and squeezed the crowd and came to the other side of the stage, everything in front of him could not help but make him rush.
The stage was built against a high wall. At that time, there were two lonely little women under the high wall. They were holding each other, and they were flushed with red packets. They were throwing two small parcels. Some clothes are scattered from the inside, presumably the clothes I just bought at the cloth store. They stood in front of two short, fat men with folding fans. They were brightly dressed and muttered in their mouths. They tried to move the two girls against the two girls, forcing the two girls to flash under the high wall. Flash off. Around the two fat guys, standing seven or eight in a thick cloth, tall and tall, separated the crowd watching the show. These few fierce family members, a few smiles look at their ugly behavior, and several of them look back at the crowd watching the movie, from time to time to give a threatening look to prevent someone from breaking into. Although there are some people who want to fight the injustices and help the two bullies who are being bullied, they are all scared by the battle of these evil servants, and they can only look over there with unwilling eyes.
After Zhang Xiaolong rushed over, he saw these battles and was thinking about how to deal with it. He saw that the tall village girl looked at the face with help and help. Although he did not see him, he could not help but be desperate. dash forward. At this time, Zhang Xiaolong was pulled by the people behind him. When he looked back, it was his family who followed him and Zhang Cai grabbed his arm. Zhang Xiaolong was anxious and said: "Hey...".
Zhang Cai whispered: "Dragon, don't be impulsive, we can't beat them."
Zhang Xiaolong said: "But if we don't help, the two girls will be bullied."
Zhang Xiaohua also said: "Yes, hey, that sister just helped us."
Zhang Cai said: "Of course, you can help, but you can't help, but you can also put yourself in. You look at the person wearing black clothes and a big knife over there."
Zhang Jiasan’s brothers followed the gaze of his eyes. Sure enough, at the other side of the house, there was a big man wearing a black suit. He held a big knife in his left hand and crossed his hands on his chest. He stood leaning against a tree. Squinting, as if falling asleep, it seems that it should be the two rogue bodyguards.
It seems that many people dare not go forward, a large part of the reason is the knife in the hands of this bodyguard.
How can this be good? Zhang Xiaolong is also a little anxious.
Just when Zhang Xiaolong hesitated, the situation on the high wall was even worse. Two chunky sons had already opened the two villagers and were dragging them to the alleys at the corner of the high wall. Zhang Xiaolong couldn’t help it anymore. He slammed Zhang’s hand and ran quickly, and the group of evil servants thought that the crowd next to them had been scared by them, and they saw that
good play
was about to start. Going closer to the alley, I didn’t expect anyone to rush over at this time. Zhang Xiaolong rushed to the side of the two villagers. First, he stretched out the arms of the two girls and pulled them to his side. The strength of the two short fat boys could give him a day in the field. He was suddenly pulled by him. Come over, taking advantage of their enthusiasm, Zhang Xiaolong said loudly:
"What are you doing?"
The two chunky sons saw the prey of the hand being taken away, and their faces were very angry. The two men looked at each other. One of them, wearing orange clothes, said, "What are we doing? Who are you? What are you doing?" ?"
Zhang Xiaolong snorted and said, "I am their cousin. Why are you pulling them? Be careful to tell the officials."
Another person wearing black clothes said: "Sue, good, then let's go together. In Luzhen, your lord, I am the official. Your cousin just stepped on my shoes, I want her to pay for my shoes. I want to see if the officer is to you or to me."
At this time, Zhang Cai also rushed over, Zhang Cai quickly rushed to the two people, accompanied by a smile: "The two grandfathers eliminate fire, my two Nizi are not sensible, you see step on your shoes, we Loss, today is a good day for the market, you are a lot of adults, raise your hands, this year will be good news."
The man in orange clothes smiled and said, "Well, it’s fun to see you as an old man. Master, I will do well, and I will lose my shoes."
Zhang Cai was shocked and said carefully: "How much copper should I ask you to accompany you?"
The man in orange clothes stretched out a slap. Zhang Cai sighed and said, "It turned out to be five money. I will give it to you."
Zhang Cai took five copper coins from his arms and handed it over. The orange-dressed people did not look at the five copper coins that stood in front of them. They slapped them to the ground with a slap, and said evilly: "You are a countryman, you think it is The sandals you wear, your uncle, my shoes are worth five coins, you can hear clearly, five or two silver!"
Zhang Cai thought that he was broken. He immediately said with a smile: "Master, you are joking. The ration of one year is only three or two. Is your shoe worth so much?"
The man in black clothes said, "Are you a little old man, are you doubting our integrity?"
At this time, the village aunt behind Zhang Xiaolong had already slowed down and came out from behind Zhang Xiaolong: "Uncle, they are jealous of us, we have not stepped on them. We just came to see the drama, but we have not yet come to the front. They are surrounded by them."
Zhang Xiaolong also screamed: "Hey, they are obviously swindlers, let's take the girl to the government to sue them."
The man in black clothes laughed and said, "You have a group of mud legs, you haven't seen anything in the world. You don't even know what you don't know, but what are you telling? Little, come over and tell them what is the official. ""
The old man, Zhao, waved his hand and stood by the busy family. He immediately rubbed his fists around and Zhang Zhang looked at things. He said to Zhang Xiaohua: "You look for opportunities with these two girls." Go out, we will protect you." After that, Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu were brought together with the family members who were surrounded, and Zhang Xiaohua also pulled two girls to go to the crowd watching the movie.
Zhang Cai, Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu, although they are strong laborers in the countryside, some strengths, one-on-one is slightly better than those of the family, but the heroes can’t stand many people. After a few rounds, they are turned to the ground by several evil servants. The fists and feet of the family’s fists were hit by raindrops. When they saw the three of them, they were hurt on their faces. Zhang Xiaohua and the two village aunts were also clever and started to avoid several family members. To rush into the crowd, but unexpectedly blocked by the bodyguards in the front, a few turns can not escape the shape of the bodyguard, the bodyguard does not start, is to block them from moving forward, waiting for a family After chasing it, he stood on the sidelines, watching Zhang Xiaohua and the two villagers being blocked back next to Zhang Cai and others. Zhang Xiaohua saw that his brother and his brother were pressed to the ground and rushed to the rescue. They were saved in the chest, and they fell on the chest with their feet on their backs. They were covered in mud and were struggling to sit up. Two other family members came over and pressed the wall to the wall. They slap a few slaps and blood flowed down the corners of their mouths. The two family members looked at Zhang Xiaohua’s age and were no longer hands-on, just holding him down. The body does not let him move.
No matter how hard he struggles, Zhang Xiaohua can't break free from the palms of the two strong men. When he and his brothers are under the fists of the evil servants, they are shrunk and beaten, and their tears are flowing.
