Chapter 7 Revenge Liang Qu gritted his teeth. Zheng Xiang, Baldy Zhang, none of them are good people! Zheng Xiang left so decisively last night, without even taking the yellow croaker. He really thought that the other party simply wanted to do a business. Even if it involved personal freedom, Dashun was not a harmonious society where everyone was equal. In the end, the last straw was put there by that dog slave. "Brother Shui, Brother Shui, I have said everything I need to say. I will definitely pay back the money I owe you in the future. Please be kind and just treat me like a fart." Zhang Tieniu, who was tortured to death, finally mustered up the strength to utter a coherent sentence. When he saw Liang Qu looking at him, he quickly raised his head and forced a smile. Liang Qu looked hesitant, as if he couldn't bear it. Zhang Tieniu was secretly delighted. Just as he was about to add fuel to the fire and beg for mercy, he found that the figures around him suddenly disappeared, and a shadow appeared above his head. He looked up blankly and suddenly screamed. He saw an upside-down human face approaching him, its dark eyes staring at him. Its messy hair was disheveled, and the face was grinning silently. Two rows of sharp white teeth were pressed against his face, as if it wanted to bite off his neck! "Brother Shui, Brother Shui! What's going on? Don't scare me!" Zhang Tieniu's heart almost stopped beating. He moved back in fear and stepped into the water. Liang Qu stared at the bloody bald-headed Zhang and suppressed his smile: "Did you see me controlling the water just now?"
"Water control, what water control? I don't know, I didn't see anything!" "It doesn't matter whether you see it or not." Liang Qu stood up. The setting sun shone obliquely, casting a long shadow on the sampan. The river breeze blows, the seed-bearing reeds sway, and the reed flowers float in the air. When Zhang Tieniu saw the scary face leave, his tense heart relaxed slightly, but as time went by, he became more and more uneasy under the shadow. He looked up hard, but could only see a black figure surrounded by a gold frame. He moved down again so that he could look up at a wider angle, and in a trance, he saw a mocking face and a stone raised high above him! Zhang Tieniu's pupils shrank suddenly and his throat trembled, but before the fishy breath could rise up. Bang! Bang!Bang!Bang! Wow! Huge splashes of water arose in the reed marsh, with a hint of dark red occasionally mixed in the white foam. A dark shadow was moving under the boat. The pig dragon shook its body and tail, dragging the corpse with the murder weapon and stone tied to it towards the deep water. After dealing with everything, Liang Qu collapsed on the sampan, his heart beating violently and his saliva as sticky as glue. He raised his hands and saw that his hands were shaking and his nails were full of blood foam. For the first time in his life, a series of killing moves came smoothly to him. Afraid that Bald-headed Zhang would struggle too violently and he would not be able to control him, Liang Qu did not even dare to drown him and could only smash his head with a stone. "Zhang Tieniu is too much of a bully. If I don't kill him while he's sick, even if I save up money from fishing, he'll still come after me when he recovers. Ugh." Liang Qu lay on the side of the boat and retched, only vomiting out some stomach acid. Even if he had given enough reasons and made up his mind, when it came time to do it, his mind went blank and he would not stop until the back of the head collapsed completely and the man was covered in blood. There are a large number of carnivorous fish in the Jianghuai swamps. They are attracted by the smell of blood. It won’t be long before any trace of Zhang Tieniu disappears from this world. After retching, Liang Qu sat back on the boat. At this point, not only has the wupeng boat been turned into a small sampan, but it has also been targeted by the Zhao residence for no reason. I wonder if Master Zhao is involved in this.
The whole thing sounds like the idea of Zheng Xiang and Zhang Tieniu alone, but it is all one-sided. It is unknown whether Zheng Xiang wanted to please Master Zhao on his own or acted on the instructions of Master Zhao. A butler would not tell a leper all the tricks. The former is fine, but the latter is troublesome. Mr. Zhao is already over sixty years old, disgusting, disgusting! Liang Qu has been a virgin for nearly 40 years in his past and present lives. Some old guys are tired of playing around and want to do something perverted. The only consolation was the two taels of silver in his bag. He couldn't afford to offend the Zhao family, so he could only save up seven taels of silver as soon as possible and go to the Yang family martial arts hall in Pingyang Town to learn martial arts and earn a good status. But how can I use this sampan openly? Time flies. On the mist-shrouded pier, human figures were moving. In the middle of the night, fish come out in groups to move around and look for food, which is a great time to fish. Experienced fishermen will take this time to untie the ropes and get out of the boat. In the marshland, there was a young man paddling with a pole, sailing against the current back to the pier. A man untied the rope and was about to row the boat out. He saw who was coming and said, "Ah Shui? Didn't you have a sampan? How did it become a sampan? And why are you back at this time?" Liang Qu looked up and said with a smile, "It's Uncle Chen Yi." This Uncle Chen is not the Chen Qingjiang who delivered cakes when I first arrived. There are many families with the surname Chen in Yixing City. The one in front of me is another one, and they are just acquaintances. Liang Qu saw that there were still a few fishermen around, and knew that the atmosphere had arrived. He looked sad and worried, as if he was about to cry: "Uncle Yi, you also know that my father... With a few indignant words mixed with a sigh or two, Liang Qu told the story of how Baldy Zhang had oppressed him after his "father" died. However, he made some slight changes in some places. For example, the story that Baldy Zhang originally robbed the wupeng boat directly became that Baldy Zhang forcibly exchanged it with his own sampan. After hearing the story, the fishermen present had no doubts and even felt it was reasonable. Robbing fishermen's boats is like killing their parents. Bald-headed Zhang did not publicize it widely, so not many people knew about it, and those who knew about it were not sure whether the "exchange" took place or not. Bald-headed Zhang bullies the weak and fears the strong. He rarely provokes people with big families, and he dares not do anything too extreme. It is only because of an orphan like Liang Qu, who has no one to rely on but has a good boat, and money is tempting, that Zhang Tieniu would be so unscrupulous. "This bald-headed Zhang has done so many bad things." "It's time to punish this unscrupulous person." "Yeah, he comes to steal fish from my fish basket every day. I really want to paddle him to death!" For a moment, the people on the pier were filled with indignation, but if you listened carefully, you could find that most of them were cursing and resentment. No one suggested to seek justice for Liang Qu and ask for the black-sailed boat back from Zhang the Bald Man. Bald Zhang is a tall and strong man, and he is also a bachelor. He is not afraid of those who wear shoes when he is barefoot. Both of them have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and they don't want to cause trouble for an orphan. Liang Qu sighed, lifted the wooden board, revealing a dozen fish on it: "I don't have any suitable fishing gear. I've been fishing all day and I'm really tired. I just made some gains and I'm going back to sleep." When everyone took a quick look, they saw that they were all grass carp and silver carp, with a price of about twenty or thirty cents. They nodded in agreement, and then left the boat without any more greetings. Liang Qu felt relieved. If we completely ignore the bald-headed Zhang, it will only seem deliberate.
If someone goes through the whole thing from beginning to end, they will definitely find something fishy. For example, since it was a change of boat, why did Zhang Tieniu choose to sell the black-sailed boat? Even if you are idle, you shouldn't leave any room for yourself, right? Although it can be explained, the logical chain is inevitably weak. But people also avoid being too self-conscious and thinking how much attention others pay to them. The world does not revolve around anyone. As for side matters, trivial matters, and other people's memories that have nothing to do with oneself, they are actually very vague, and a little guidance can lead them to a completely different direction. No one would have thought that a teenager could be so bold and capable of killing a strong man. As long as a seed is planted and there are no obvious flaws, the seed will germinate and develop into an "established fact." (End of this chapter)
