Chapter 9 Shitan Town

The next day, the battalion commander had issued an order. Wang Dahe officially became the captain of the 13th team, and Li Hong was about to return to his hometown.

At the time of parting, Wang Dahe's five people came to the door of the barracks. After all, this child saved everyone's lives in the most critical time. Now he is leaving himself. All five people are a little reluctant, especially Wang Dahe. In his heart, he has regarded Xiaojiu as his own child.

"Captain, take care!"

Li Hong gently patted Wang Dahe on the shoulder, "Dahe, don't worry, I will treat this child well. Besides, can you come to visit him when you have time?"

"I will be the captain!" Wang Dahe took a look at Xiaojiu and said, "Good son, follow Grandpa Li."

After saying that, Wang Dahe felt that his tears were about to fall out.

The cold leopard has returned to the Shenyonghou Mansion. He has been to Huajia Village, but he only saw the bodies of some villagers and burned villages.

Dongfangqing frowned tightly, "Cold leopard, Luoyan Jiuyin is all dead?"

Leng Bao raised his head and said seriously, "Marquis, I only found their bodies, but I didn't find nine, and I think the villagers should be dead!"

"I've seen the body of a baby!"

The cold leopard thought for a moment, "There are many corpses of children, but there are no babies!"

"Flying Fire Meteor!" Dongfang Qing said fiercely.

"But Marquis, I found such a thing at the scene," Leng Bao held a cloth bag in his hand.

"What is it?"

The cold leopard slowly opened, and it was suddenly broken*.

Dongfang Qing immediately walked over and took the broken knife in his hand, "Punqi, this is Ao Lie's soldier. Has anyone been anywhere?"

"Marquis, the area of Luoxia Town is full of brave marquis, and it's not surprising that his soldiers go there."

"Is the flying meteor falling into Ao Lie's hands?" Dongfang Qing thought secretly.

"Cold Leopard, you have worked hard. Go down first!"

"Yes, marquis!"

Dongfang Qing looked at the broken knife in his hand again, as if a fire was about to appear in his eyes, "Flying meteor, I will find you one day!"

On the night when Li Hong left with Xiaojiu, the Li clan unexpectedly attacked the first border of Cangyun - the Canglang Pass. For a while, the war rekindled, and all the soldiers and horses of the cavalry battalion shifted overnight and went to the Canglang Pass.

Located in a simple town in the south of Tongyun City, there is a very clear river called the Tear River. There are dozens of small villages that make a living by fishing on both sides of the Tear River. This is the hometown of the old captain Li Hong - Shitan Town.

At this time, there was a child practicing boxing by the river. The child was unusually strong, ** with his upper body, long hair kept fluttering with the river wind, big eyes, a little bad smile at the corners of his mouth, and his body was tanned into the unique skin color of Jiangtan villagers, but in the position of the left chest But there is a conspicuous red tiger-shaped pattern, red like blood. He is Xiaojiu, and now he is eight years old.

"Xiaojiu, come back for dinner soon." An old man's voice came from the distance.

Listening to the shouting, Xiaojiu immediately ran over and snuggled up to the old man.

"Grandpa, I have learned all the boxing skills you taught me, and now I can eliminate harm for the people!"

"Ha ha, isn't it?" A burst of cheerful laughter came from the old man, "My Xiaojiu is awesome. He knows how to eliminate harm for the people at a young age." The old man's hair has turned white. If you look carefully, it is not difficult to see that he was Li Hong in those years. Now eight years later, he is 70 years old.

"Xiaojiu, do you know what is to eliminate harm for the people?"

"Hmm!" Xiaojiu thought for a moment, "It's to defeat the bad guys who bully our town, such as Zhou Tai, um, and Niu Meng!"

Li Hong laughed again after hearing this, "Xiaojiu, Zhou Tai is a bad guy, but Niu Meng is still a child. You can't say that he is a bad person!"

"Is there no bad person for children?"

"Do you know that a child is not a bad person but a naughty person?"

"I know, Grandpa!"

Li Hong touched Xiaojiu's head lovingly, "Let's go back with grandpa. Today I cooked your favorite crucian soup again!"

"Grandpa is so nice!"

Li Hong took Xiao 1998. In those years, Li Hong went out to join the army, and there was no family. In these eight years, he completely nurtured Xiaojiu as his own child, carefully nurtured him, and also taught Xiaojiu some shallow martial arts, but this child seemed to be a natural material for learning martial arts, no matter how vulgar martial arts he was. The work was as powerful as he used, so Li Hong was even happier.

After drinking two bowls of crucian carp soup, a child ran into Li Hong's house. He had a long tiger head and a tiger brain, which was very cute. When he saw Li Hong, he shouted, "Good job, Grandpa Hong!" After saying that, he walked to Xiaojiu and whispered to Xiaojiu's ear. As soon as Xiaojiu heard it, he quickly drank the last bowl of crucian carp soup in front of him, and then said to Li Hong, who was clucking wood in the courtyard, "Grandpa, I went out with Xiao Huzi." Before he finished speaking, he had run out, and it was too late for Li Hong to scream.

Xiaojiu ran out of his home and walked to the river beach. There were already more than a dozen children from Lijiazhuang waiting for them. When they saw Xiaojiu coming, they were very happy. A taller child walked to Xiaojiu and said, "Xiaojiu, Niu Meng actually beat Li Bing yesterday. Look." After saying that, he pulled out a seven- or eight-year-old child, who was about the same height as Xiaojiu, but he was relatively fat and had a little blue on his face. He didn't need to look at it, he just hit him with his fist.

Xiao Jiu immediately "hummed" when he heard it, "Niu Meng, how dare you hit my brother. Don't worry, Xiaobing, we will teach them a lesson today." Niu Meng in Xiaojiu is also a child in a nearby village. The children in the two villages often fight back and there. Li Jiazhuang is led by Xiaojiu, and Niujiazhuang Niu Meng is the leader.

The tall child said again, "Xiaojiu, I heard that Niu Meng brought a lot of people and weapons today. I think we'd better not go."

"What are you afraid of when you have weapons, look!" With that, Xiaojiu waved his clenched fist angrily, "My grandfather has taught me all his martial arts skills. With me, we will go to eliminate harm for the people today."

After thinking about it, he said, "No, no, grandpa said that beating Niu Meng is not to eliminate harm for the people. Let's go!"

A group of children followed him. At this time, a cute little girl came from a distance. When she saw Xiaojiu, she shouted happily, "Brother Xiaojiu, where are you going? I'm going too!"

The name of the little girl who came here is Li Yu. She is seven years old and is also from Li's village. His grandfather and Li Hong were a few generations ago. In addition, Li Hong has no relatives now, so the two families are relatively close. Since he was a child, Li Yu has been playing around with Xiaojiu. Now he sees Xiaojiu leading him. A group of people knew that there must be something interesting, so they ran over immediately.

"Xiaoyu, you'd better not go, you know? We are going to war now, and the other party is Niu Meng. Xiaojiu reported Niu Meng's name, and it can be seen that Niu Meng is still relatively fierce among the children.

Li Yu blinked her big bright eyes and stared at Xiaojiu, "Brother Xiaojiu, take me there. I'm not afraid of you there. You can protect me!"

As soon as Xiaojiu heard this, he immediately straightened his chest and said, "That's right, but Xiaoyu, you must stand behind when we fight, you know?"

"I know, Brother Xiaojiu!"

"Okay! Let's fight Niu Meng together!"

The child behind also shouted at this, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, beat Niu Meng, beat Niu Meng."

A group of people walked towards the bridge on the tear river. This bridge is called the tear bridge. It is said that the tear river is the last tear left by Pangu, the god of heaven. The bridge of the tear river is naturally called the tear bridge. The tear bridge crosses the tear river, which facilitates the people on both sides of the river. On the other side of the bridge is Niujia Village.

After crossing the tear bridge, there were already more than a dozen children sitting on the river beach on the other side. Seeing Xiaojiu and others coming, they all stood up. One of the leading children was very strong, with black skin, bare feet, holding a fierce weapon in his hand - a small wooden axe, which was the calf that hit Li Bing, and the other small Children also hold different "weapons", wooden knives, wooden swords, and the legendary "dog sticks", which are actually a bamboo.

Xiao Jiu walked over, put his hands on his waist, and shouted to Niu Meng, "Niu Meng, was that you the soldier you fought yesterday?"

When Niu Meng saw Xiaojiu coming, he was really "the enemy's narrow road" and couldn't help saying "arrogantly": "So what?"

"Well, apologize to my brother, and I'll forgive you. If not, don't blame me for being rude." Xiaojiu was very angry.

Niu Meng is at least a "big boss". How can he show weakness? He can't help laughing like adults: "Apologize, I'm farting. Today, let's settle the old accounts together. Come on." After saying that, he waved the small wooden axe in his hand.

Xiao Jiu was furious, "Okay, Niu Meng, don't drink a toast. Don't blame me for being rude. Today I'm going to eliminate harm for the people." During the fight, he forgot Li Hong's words again.

Niu Meng was also really fierce. He raised a wooden axe and split it. Although it was made of wood, if he really hit him, he should also be injured. However, Xiaojiu didn't pay attention to him at all. He practiced boxing with Li Hong for several years. Although it was only some simple routines in the barracks, it was used to deal with this. These little children are still more than enough, but now Xiaojiu is wrong. Niu Meng is a boy with natural magic power. After a few moves, Xiaojiu relied on his flexible body to grab Niu Meng's wooden axe and threw it aside. The two suddenly hugged each other again. At this time, Niu Mengke made a lot of money, and Xiaojiu was almost suppressed by him. I can't breathe.

Niu Meng's little brother had several more brothers than Xiaojiu. Soon, he also beat Li Jiazhuang's child on the river beach. Li Yu saw Xiaojiu being beaten to the ground and couldn't help crying.

Several children saw Li Yu crying and shouting there and rushed over and were about to hit Li Yu. Xiaojiu looked at it. Although he was pressed on his body, he couldn't help shouting anxiously: "Sister, run."

At this time, it was too late. The child in Niujiazhuang had run to Li Yu and pushed Li Yu down on the river beach. Li Yu cried on the ground. Niu Meng was originally pressing Xiaojiu. Seeing that his brother actually went to beat Li Yu, he quickly got up, ran to Li Yu, and walked to the front of the Niu family. Zhuang's child pushed and said angrily, "Why do you girls beat? It's not the hero's work. It's too shameless." After saying that, he helped Li Yu up angrily, and Li Yu still cried from there.

"Sister Xiaoyu, it doesn't matter!" At this time, Xiaojiu also ran over.

After this disturbance, everyone stopped fighting and patted the sand on Li Yu's clothes. Xiaojiu comforted her, and the little girl slowly stopped crying.

Niu Meng hugged his fist like an adult and said decently, "Xiao Jiu, today is my brother's fault. I shouldn't hit your sister."

Xiaojiu had already lost. Seeing that Niu Meng even fought for his own people for his sister, he actually had a good impression on Niu Meng. Although Niu Meng likes to fight, he is also a small hero and aboveboard.

Looking at Niu Meng, he laughed: "Niu Meng, you are so strong. I lost today, and we will fight again tomorrow."

Niu Meng also smiled stupidly: "There, I rely on strength to make your boxing skills."

The children couldn't help but feel surprised when they saw the leading little Jiu Niu talking together. They were still working hard on the river beach just now. Why are they talking and laughing together now? They don't know that even in children's hearts, there are times when heroes cherish heroes.

Xiaojiu led a group of children to his village and saw Niu Meng's group of people still standing on the river beach. He wanted to say something, but he resisted. When he walked to the middle of the tear bridge, suddenly Niu Meng chased after him from the river beach and ran to him breathlessly and said, "Xiao Jiu, wait a moment, I want to make a brother with you. Would you like to?"

Hearing that Niu Meng was going to become a brother with him, Xiaojiu was very happy. Just now, he just wanted to tell Niu Meng about this, but he had just lost in the hands of others and said that he was embarrassed. Now listening to Niu Meng's words, the pride in the child's heart surged out and immediately said, "I do."

At present, the two knelt on the tear bridge, facing the tear river, and vowed to heaven together.

"I'm awesome!"

"I'm Xiaojiu!"

"Today, we will become brothers on the Bridge of tears. In the future, we will share blessings and difficulties. We don't want to be born on the same day in the same month of the same year, but to die on the same day in the same month of the same year!"

The two bowed three times to the tear river and got up.

Niu Meng took Xiaojiu's hand happily and asked, "Xiaojiu, how old are you?"

"I'm eight years old." Xiaojiu replied.

"I'm 11 years old, and I will be your eldest brother from now on. If anyone bullies you, tell me that I will definitely cut him with an axe, hehe." Niu Meng said.

"Brother Niu, call me ninth brother in the future. This is my sister Li Yu." After saying that, he pulled Li Yu over. Xiaoyu, now Brother Niu and I are brothers. Do you also need to call Brother Niu in the future?

"I know!" Li Yu smiled sweetly, "Brother Niu!"

"Why are you called Brother Niu!"

"Because you are very big!" The group of children suddenly laughed, but the Niu Meng stood aside, blushing and embarrassed.

However, when he saw Li Yu's cute smile, he still said loudly, "Okay, you can call me Brother Daniel in the future!"
