“Brother Shitou, please don’t mind me because I have little experience and can’t speak well.
My point is to punish evildoers and protect the community. How can we harm our own people? At least we are better than the police who peel people's skins."
"No, Ergou, don't fool me. Uncle Dahuang said I was a nuisance, and I understand.
After all, he is my elder and has to take care of my daily life, so it is inevitable that I feel a little resentful."
"But apart from Uncle Da Huang, who else have I ever caused trouble for?
Why do you say I'm causing trouble? Is it because I can't lift the knife anymore, or are they itching for more? "
Since Zhou Yuan traveled to another world, in order to change the situation of his predecessor being stupid and dull and often bullied, he disguised himself as a reckless and brainless madman.
The villagers still remember the scene more than 20 days ago when a madman chopped from the north to the south of the village with a hatchet.
Although the person who was attacked ran very fast and was not injured, he was still thinking of taking revenge on Zhou Yuan.
But Zhou Yuan was not a magnanimous person. He wandered around the Han family in the village day and night.
Sometimes they suddenly rush out from the haystack, sometimes they stare blankly at the street corner, sometimes they break into the house in the middle of the night...
Since then, Zhou Yuan's name has been known throughout Qiaoxi Village. Everyone knows that he is not a joker and that if he says he wants to kill someone, he will definitely kill that person.
The villagers who bullied their predecessor were frightened and fled to their relatives in other villages overnight. They have not dared to come back until now.
Zhou Yuan also became a bully in the village, and no one dared to mess with him wherever he went.
He thought he was a well-known warrior, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to speak his mind. This person is too smart and must be educated.
"Ergou, I've suffered a huge loss. I've got a bad reputation, but I haven't done anything bad yet. How can this be okay?
Tell me who is slandering me behind my back, and I'll take care of him, and we can still be good brothers."
"Brother Shitou, please don't make things difficult for me.
It’s not that I don’t say it, but there are too many people saying bad things about you, and you can’t handle it all.”
"I understand. Ergou, let's talk about the matter of drilling into Lao Lin.
As the saying goes, people are cheap when they leave their hometown, but things are expensive when they leave their hometown. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family.
We brothers are so outstanding, why don't we just focus on wreaking havoc in Qiaoxi Village and set an example for everyone, letting them know what is good and what is bad."
"Brother Shitou, it's not good to harm your own people."
"Why is it bad? It's just that I have experience, I know the roads and the people, and I can guarantee that I will get the right one."
Zhao Ergou regretted it. He had originally just wanted to hide from his wife at home, and he also had some thoughts of evading military service.
But Zhou Yuan's words brought him back to reality. As expected, a man with a conscience like him could not join Brother Shitou in harming the village.
"Brother Shitou, I suddenly remembered that I can't evade military service as I have a family. Otherwise, my father, mother, and wife will all be punished.
I have to be honest, I can't leave and can't accompany you into the old forest."
"But Brother Shitou, if you really want to cause trouble in Qiaoxi Village, remember not to cause trouble to my family.
My family has been miserable enough, and we have never bullied you. We cannot let it end up in ruin again."
"No, given the relationship between us brothers, if I really bring trouble to outsiders, I will have to send something to your family."
"That's great. I know Brother Shitou is the most loyal."
Amidst Ergou's compliments, Zhou Yuan patted the hatchet at his waist, indicating that nothing was wrong and that he was going to practice with the sword.
Zhao Ergou gritted his teeth and told her his other plan for coming here.
"Brother Shitou, Cui Niang and I have agreed that I will work during the day and you will work at night.
It doesn't matter which of us it belongs to, as long as it leaves a descendant for our Zhao family."
"But let me make this clear first, if I can come back, both the wife and the baby will be mine.
If I can't come back, you can take care of Cui Niang and the baby. We brothers shouldn't be so calculating. It all depends on who has better luck."
“Bang!”
Zhou Yuan slapped Ergou hard on the shoulder, bent down and stared into Ergou's eyes.
That serious look was very creepy, like a precursor to anger, or a silent question.
"Brother Shitou, you..."
"You idiot, you want me to block the knife for you.
"Get up, for your kindness, I have to go on a journey to make sure that when you die, someone will collect your body."
"That's great! If you can carry my body back, my parents will definitely treat you as their own son."
"Stop joking around, just don't freak out when the time comes."
Zhou Yuan was not born and raised in this world, so he could not understand Ergou's spirit of sharing everything.
But he knew that he was flesh and blood, and the people here were also flesh and blood.
"Brother Shitou, please come to my house secretly at night."
"Get lost, do your own thing. Don't be lazy, it's better to do this kind of thing yourself."
"Brother Shitou, something's wrong with you. Do you dislike me and Cui Niang?"
"without."
"If you don't mind, why not go? Even if you don't leave any offspring, you can still be a man for once. It's better than dying and having nothing."
“Okay, I just hate it.
My brother is so obsessed with harming witches and demons that I don’t even look down on decent people.”
Zhao Ergou and Zhou Yuan stared at each other. He suddenly felt that he had been at a disadvantage. He had said all his heartfelt words, but in the end he was still despised.
However, he felt that what Zhou Yuan said made some sense. The word "witch" sounded very powerful. Perhaps Brother Shitou did not dislike him, but had lofty ambitions.
"Then I'm really leaving. I won't leave the door open for you at night, lest someone else take advantage of me."
"etc."
"What's the matter, Brother Shitou, are you regretting it?"
"You're not going to regret it, my heart is firm and my original intention remains unchanged. Except for the most evil creatures, no one can make me look at me with a frown.
Ergou, now that you have married, you have become an adult. I don’t have anything to give you, so I will just give you a name.
Even if you die along the way, you can still leave a decent reputation."
"OK."
"Well, let's call him Zhao Yang. The Yang in the sun will help to improve your family's lack of yin and yang."
"Zhao Yang, this name is much better than Er Gou. If I leave any offspring, I will give it to my baby.
If I'm unlucky and don't have any offspring left, I'll use them myself."
"Whatever you want, go home and deliver the goods, I'm still busy honing my martial arts skills.
Regardless of whether you're serving in the military or causing trouble, you should first master your martial arts skills."
Ergou was sent back home by Zhou Yuan to make dolls, and Zhou Yuan also focused on honing his skills.
At this moment, Ergou, the winner, became the loser. At least he was not as comfortable as Zhou Yuan. He could only charge forward with tears in his eyes, exhausted.
"Splitting Mount Hua with all your strength can be turned into a skill, and running should be possible too, but what about eating and sleeping, two things we have to go through every day?
You can try it. From today on, eat small meals frequently, and try to eat only three bites of steamed bun at a time, and eat twenty to thirty meals a day.
Sleep should not be neglected. Exercise for an hour and take a half-hour nap every day, and try your best to turn life skills into practical skills."
"Let's go, start running first. Running fast is the key to survival."
