Pei Ji is good at drinking, and Chu Huan is also very drunk. Half a jar of wine is like a drop in the bucket, but it is already bottoming out in a short while. Pei Ji is a little embarrassed and said, "There is not much wine. If possible, I will invite you to drink next time."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Brother Pei is setting up a stall by Qinshui. Is it because he really lacks money?"

Pei Ji thought about it, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Actually, I'm beginning to understand now that sometimes silver and money are really useful." He sighed, "The capital is not as good as Hexi. If you want to live here, it's really impossible to live without silver." He swept the small wooden house where he lives and said lightly, "Today you can sit down and drink with me. In a few days, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in such a place."

Chu Huan was actually very curious. Pei Ji was disabled, so why did he come to Beijing from all the way? Why did he fall into such a dilemma again?

Pei Ji seemed to see what Chu Huan was thinking and smiled: "I set up chess by Qin Shui, and I also wanted to earn some money for houses and meals. I would like to find other places to set up a stall again tomorrow."

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Why didn't Brother Pei go back to Hexi?"

"Hexi?" Pei Ji shook his head and said, "At least I can't go back now."

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came, and the sound was like a roar of ape. It happened suddenly, but it surprised Chu Huan. Pei Ji frowned and said, "I'm sorry." When he got up, he dragged his lame legs and walked out quickly.

Chu Huan knew something must have happened, and he was confused. He followed him out, but saw Pei Ji turn to the back of the house and walk quickly along an alley. Not far away, a servant in green came towards him. When he saw Pei Ji, he hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Pei, go and see, he is starting to go crazy again..."

Pei Ji nodded without saying much. Chu Huan followed him, but wanted to see what was going on.

Turning to the back door of the house next to him, the back door was closed, the ape roar became clearer, and bursts of screams came from the yard. Chu Huan heard a voice shouting: "Mr. Pei are here, go and invite Mr. Pei."

Someone replied: "I have already gone to invite Mr. Pei."

A woman also heard a voice saying, "Mr. Pei set up a stall by Qinshui. I don't know if he is back now. Send someone to look for Qinshui."

There seemed to be a mess in the yard, and the servant in green had already stepped forward and slapped the door and said, "Mr. Pei is here, Mr. Pei is here."

The door opened immediately, Pei Ji and others entered the house, and the door was immediately closed. Then they saw an old man in his early fifties coming up quickly and said anxiously: "Mr. Pei, you are here, this beast is crazy again, please stop him."

Chu Huan could see clearly that there were more than a dozen people in the yard, including men and women, and seven or eight thick men were holding wooden sticks in a circle, each of them extremely nervous.

Among the group of people was a big iron cage, and there was a rockery next to the iron cage. The iron chains connected the iron cage and the rockery together. The iron cage was square and made of fine iron. It looked very large. In the iron cage, there was a person suddenly locked in it.

Chu Huan was shocked when he saw the man.

I saw that the man was very thin, with a ragged hair, his clothes were ragged, and his limbs were tied to iron chains. He was yelling in the iron cage, holding the iron rod in both hands, shaking desperately. The huge and heavy iron cage was shaken, like an earthquake, and the man looked crazy and very scary.

Chu Huan did not expect that this man was thin, like a little thin monkey, but the sound was loud and powerful. Moreover, the iron cage was extremely heavy, Chu Huan himself was not sure that he could shake it, while the thin madman shook easily. This shows that this man's strength was really terrifying.

The people in the yard seemed very nervous, obviously very afraid of the little madman. The old man was already holding Pei Ji's hand and said panickedly: "This beast suddenly went crazy just now. If he didn't do it well, he would break the cage and cause trouble. Mr. Pei, you controlled him last time, and you would have to let him calm down..."

Not far away, two maids were holding a woman in her fifties. The woman looked pale, with resentment and horror in her eyes. Next to him was a young man of twenty-five or six years old, wearing brocade clothes, and his face was also bad. He shouted: "Mr. Pei, you...you want to calm this wild man down, we are so grateful to you."

Pei Ji looked a little unfair. He glanced at the young man, but saw a servant who took the opportunity and poked out a wooden stick. The end of the stick actually poked the little madman's eyes. Pei Ji had already said sternly: "Stop!" But the servant was just brute force, so naturally he could not control the timing of sending and receiving. Although Pei Ji spoke out to stop it, the end of the stick still poked the little madman's eyes.

Chu Huan frowned, thinking that these people were too much. The servant poked the stick out, and the little madman was afraid that his eyes would be ruined.

Who knew that although the little madman was wearing iron shackles on his hands, he was extremely heavy, but his reaction speed was extremely sensitive. The stick was only two inches away from his eyes. The little madman's hand had already held the stick and roared. When the servant saw the stick being caught, he hurriedly let go. He was frightened by the little madman's roar and took a few steps back. His whole body was trembling like a sieve of bran, his face pale, and he couldn't help but urinate from below.

The others were also scared and retreated. Although the little madman was trapped in an iron cage, no one dared to approach the past.

The man poked over with a stick. Although he was caught by the little madman, it obviously angered the little madman even more. He threw the stick away, held the two iron railings on the cage with both hands, and let out a beast-like roar in his mouth. Chu Huan was shocked to find that the thick iron rod was slowly bent and deformed under the pull of the little madman.

Chu Huan's surprise is extraordinary.

Chu Huan himself has a lot of strength, and has seen many people with great strength, but he has never seen such a person with such terrifying strength. This little madman's hands are flesh and blood. He can actually pull and deform the thick iron railing with his flesh and blood body. How amazing the power hidden in this weak body is.

The young man in Jinyi looked as if dead, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Pei, you... look..." He retreated again and again.

Pei Ji dragged his lame legs and walked forward slowly, his expression becoming gentle. Facing the crazy little madman, Pei Ji was not afraid at all, and just said softly: "Lei'er, Lei'er, don't be upset, don't be upset..."

It was strange that the little madman in the cage saw Pei Ji and slowly brought it down with his hand pulling the iron railing. He tilted his head and stared at Pei Ji.

Chu Huan also saw the appearance of the little madman clearly at this time. The little madman had a long and thin face, with extremely round eyes, and his pupils were pitch black. His pupils all occupied two-thirds of his eye sockets. He looked extremely large and very spiritual. His nose seemed to be a little taller than that of ordinary people, his mouth was also very large, and his face even had black fluff on his face, but there were several scars on his face. Under his unkempt face, he looked like a beggar.

Chu Huan could not tell the specific age of this person for a while, but he should not be over fifteen years old. Although his face was very special, he still had a little tenderness.

He really couldn't figure out why such a child was locked in a cage and why he went so crazy.

Although the anger on the little madman's face had not subsided, he saw Pei Ji's expression in his eyes. He screamed twice, and came from the palm of his hand in the gap between the iron rod.

Pei Ji was not afraid at all. He approached and stretched out his hand, held the little madman's hand, approached him, and whispered in a low voice. Chu Huan couldn't hear what he was saying. But when he saw the expression on the little madman's face gradually eased, his expression full of great anger became docile.

The little madman is like a tiger trapped in a cage, and Pei Ji is like a tiger trainer. The tiger is no longer a tiger, but it will become quiet in front of the tiger trainer.

Seeing that the little madman calmed down, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief. The old man's face relaxed slightly and said, "Mr. Pei, thanks to you today, this beast..."

Before he could finish his words, the little madman suddenly looked at him, bared his teeth, and anger appeared on his face again.

Pei Ji turned around, frowned, and asked, "Master Qin, why did he put him in a cage again?"

Mr. Qin was a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Pei, isn't this worried that he will run out to cause trouble again? You also know, this beast..."

"Master Qin, he is not a beast, he is a human." Pei Ji's eyes showed a slight displeasure and interrupted: "He is your nephew, you shouldn't treat him like this."

Mr. Qin was stunned and looked slightly ashamed.

The young man in Jinyi said, "Mr. Pei, if he didn't put him in a cage and ran out of the cage, and caused an accident, who could take responsibility? Four years ago, he caused a big disaster. The family spent thousands of taels of silver to calm the matter down. We can't let him go crazy all the time?"

Pei Ji stared into the eyes of the young man Jinyi and said, "Master, I want to ask, why is he crazy today?"

The young man in Jinyi was shocked, then his eyes flashed and said, "I... how do I know."

"Master, please forgive me for being frank. Lei'er is not a lunatic or a fool. He is just too simple." Pei Ji said slowly: "He is angry and will never be for no reason. There will be a reason for the incident. I would like to ask, is it because Lei'er suddenly went crazy today because the eldest master did something to him or something that stimulated him?"

The eldest young master said angrily: "Mr. Pei, what do you mean?"

"I said last time that the more he treats him like this, the more he will become crazy." Pei Ji said seriously: "The cage is used to keep animals, not people. You are his cousin, and you can be considered a brother and brother, so you shouldn't treat him like this."

The woman pulled her face down and said coldly: "Pei Ji, are you too concerned about it? This is our family matter. It is not your turn to interfere in the way of disciplined this beast. The place you live now has owed half a month's money for the house. We have seen you help us to make peace. Don't be ungrateful."
