Chapter VI Intensification of Contradiction
After leaving the ancestral hall, the father and son came to the lively town. Li Daqi looked at the mule and horses for a moment and said to Li Yanqing: "Qing'er, Dad has something to do, you can go back first!"
Li Yanqing didn't say anything, and was silent for a moment. He suddenly asked, "Dad, are you planning to give Liu Chenghong another forty stagnant of money?"
"this....."
Li Daqi's face turned red after a while, and after a while, Ai Ai said, "Although his son was not bitten, he doesn't have to pay any medical expenses, his father wrote him an IOU, which was written in black and white, and I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to pay the bill."
"If Liu Chenghong is intrigued one day and forces his father to write a 100-month IOU with black and white texts, will his father also want to pay him back?"
"Of course not, it makes no sense!"
"Then does this fifty-ton coins make sense?"
"This...this..." Li Daqi was speechless when his son asked, unable to speak.
Li Yanqing said coldly: "Dadfast can go to the clan leader to judge this fifty-many taxi. If his father is afraid of Liu Chenghong, then I will find a way to solve it. Daddy will not care about this matter, let alone ask others to borrow money."
Li Daqi smiled bitterly. Children are just children and speak so naively. What problems can a six-year-old child solve?
At this time, a flat three-donkey cart slowly stopped at the door of the mule and horse shop across the road, jumped off a shabby old man, with a bitter face, and swung a piece of the tattered vest to his shoulder, and the lazy spirit entered the store in a daze.
Li Daqi's eyes lit up and he quickly said to Li Yanqing: "Go back quickly! Daddy asks if there is any donkey cart to go to the county."
Li Yanqing suddenly remembered something and asked, "Dad is going to the county bookstore?"
"Of course I'm going to the bookstore. What do you ask about this?"
Li Yanqing took out the manuscript tied with an oil rope from his arms and handed it to his father, "Dad to show this to the owner of the bookstore to see if it can be carved."
"What is this?" Li Daqi took a bag of manuscripts in surprise.
"It's the story I told Xiao Qing'er. I wrote it down as a calligraphy practice, and maybe I could sell it for money."
"What a stupid kid!"
Li Daqi was amused, but he didn't want to disappoint his son, so he put the manuscript in his arms, "Okay! I'll ask Manager Luo, if you study hard at home, it's not so easy to pass the imperial examination."
"Here comes again! I get it."
Li Daqi reminded his son a few more words, and then hurried to the mule and horse walk. He knew Zhang Lao Nian, who had just driven the donkey cart, and saw if he could take the donkey cart he delivered to the county town.
Li Yanqing walked aimlessly on the streets of the town, poverty and hatred were as heavy as two stones in his heart.
He could use his own talents to slowly improve his poor family. For example, he wrote the story of Journey to the West and asked his father to make money by engraving books. This is a very good method, and it also suits his father's specialties. He could even use local methods to make some daily necessities and sell them to merchants, such as matches, mosquito coils, and so on, and make a little money.
Making money is not a problem, the problem is that he doesn't want to return the so-called "medical expenses" to Liu Chenghong. Liu Fu'er's words are still echoing in his ears:
"He beat the dog owner hard. I heard that he even got his shit and urine, and he sprayed my father with blood. The funny thing is that he knelt on the ground and learned to crawl through the crotch of four servants...."
The insult my father suffered was engraved in Li Yanqing's heart like a knife. Although the three little kids were hateful, they could just teach them a lesson. There was no need to argue with them, but he would never let Liu Chenghong go. Not only insulted and beat his father, he also stole his father's ten hard-earned money, and forced his father to pay for forty coins again. This anger was held in Li Yanqing's heart.
There is also the debts owed by his father, and the father was bullied in the Li clan and had no status. He must turn them all around.
An unprecedented blood surged in his chest, and Li Yanqing was about to bite his lips and strode towards Li Wencun.

At dusk, Aunt Hu next door sent a message, and his father took a donkey delivery car to the county town. It would take at least ten days to come back. If there is any difficulty, Aunt Hu would take care of him.
Li Yanqing doesn’t want to bother Aunt Hu for the time being, and he still has very important things to prepare for.
In the yard, Li Yanqing was practicing blowing the fire sticks. These were the last two fire sticks he had turned out from the woodshed. He lit one of the fire sticks and blew it out again. At this time, although the fire sticks had no flames, they could see the red highlights burning faintly, just like the remaining fire in the ashes, which could last for a long time. When it was necessary to ignite, it could be rekindled.
But blowing it requires a very high skill, which requires sudden, short, powerful, and large air supply. Li Yanqing learned to blow the fire chub a month ago, and he was more skillful than his father.
‘Huh!’ blew out in one breath, and the fire broke out immediately.
Li Yanqing was very satisfied with his skills, and he could basically ensure that he was foolproof.
At this moment, Dahei, who was sleeping at the gate of the yard, suddenly stood up and shouted at the gate.
"Who!" Li Yanqing asked, but no one outside answered.
Li Yanqing walked forward and looked out through the crack in the door. There was no one outside. He was about to walk away, but Dahei crawled and screamed fiercely at the door like a wild beast.
"Is there a rabbit outside? Want to improve our food?"
Li Yanqing opened the door with a smile, wanting to see what made Dahei so nervous, but just as he opened the door, a roar of "Ao!" came from outside, and a huge red-brown mastiff pounced in.
Li Yanqing was shocked. Before he could react, he was thrown to the ground by the mastiff. The mastiff opened its white fangs and bit it on his face.
At this critical moment, Dahei roared and pounced on the mastiff's neck. The mastiff was in pain and bit it backwards. Li Yanqing seized the opportunity, turned over and rolled out, got up and ran for several steps, and grabbed the hatchet beside the firewood stack into his hand.
This mastiff is huge, twice as big as Da Hei. It is like a red wolf, extremely fierce. Da Hei can't beat it. It is pressed under it and bites it so hard that it screams.
Li Yanqing picked up a thick firewood stick and smashed it hard, and it was hitting the mastiff's head. The mastiff stared at his blood-red eyes, "Ao!" and screamed wildly, leaving Dahei down and rushed towards Li Yanqing.
But Li Yanqing's move was faster than it. He saw a hatchet flash, and a front paw flew out, and blood splattered everywhere. The mastiff screamed and his body rolled to the ground. Li Yanqing was very agile. He stepped on its neck with one foot, held the knife in both hands and slashed it hard. "Crack!" Half of his head was chopped off. The mastiff twitched on the ground twice, and then stopped moving again, and blood flowed all over the ground.
"Good boy, dare to kill my dog!"
Several people rushed into the yard. The leader was a tall and fat man with a face as bottom as a pot, his hair was wide open, and he looked like a wild boar standing on both feet. His eyes were bulging out. The horizontal flesh on his face made him look particularly ferocious. Li Yanqing recognized who he was at a glance, and he was like an enlarged version of his son Liu Fuer.
This person was Liu Chenghong, the butler of the Li family. He heard that Li Daqi was going to the county, and he was afraid that he would escape and beg for the debt, so he wanted to come and knock. Unexpectedly, his dog ran a little faster and died in the hands of this little bastard. He was so angry that he was furious that he was thunderous. The eyes of the protruding goldfish were burning with rage.
The four servants behind him looked at the child in the yard in surprise. The housekeeper's dog even dared to fight for the wolf, but was killed by a little kid. This child is amazing!
Li Yanqing was also a little confused. He killed a dog just now because of an instinct, but his claws were so fast that he cut his sword cleanly and neatly, and he was quite well-organized. Has he practiced martial arts before?
He calmly looked at the uninvited guests and shouted to Dahei: "Dahei, come here!"
Dahei's front legs were bleeding and limped behind the little master.
"Li Daqi, get out of here!" Liu Chenghong yelled into the house fiercely.
"My dad is not here, you guys get out of here!"
"go out?"
Liu Chenghong laughed furiously, and approached Li Yanqing step by step with a grin, "You little puppy killed my beloved dog. You thought it would be fine, why would you explain it to me?"
Seeing him approaching, Li Yanqing rushed forward and slashed his fat belly with a knife. The knife was fast. If Li Yanqing hadn't just warned him, Liu Chenghong would have been broken.
Liu Chenghong's face changed drastically, he took a few steps back, shouted and said, "It's reverse! It's reverse! It's arrested me!"
Four servants surrounded them from all sides with whip sticks. Although Li Yanqing had the advantage of speed, he was a six-year-old child after all. How could he be the opponent of the four adults?
At this moment, someone suddenly roared outside the door: "You are shameless to bully a child!"
A strong man walked into the outside, holding an ash whistle stick in his hand. It was the neighbor Uncle Hu. Just now, Aunt Hu found something wrong and hurriedly found her son.
All four servants knew him and took them down one after another to protect Liu Chenghong. One servant whispered to Liu Chenghong: "He is the hard-working man Hu Sheng, a famous hard-working man."
Of course Liu Chenghong knew that Hu Sheng was powerful. He probably could not defeat this man by his subordinates. He snorted coldly, "I won't fight with you, we have the right to travel all over the world."
He pointed at Li Yanqing, "This little bastard killed my dog, I want to settle this account with him!"
Li Yanqing glared at him and said, "You let the dog rush into my house and want to bite me to death, but I want to settle the account with you!"
Hu Dayi waved his hand and refused to let Li Yanqing speak. He blocked Li Yanqing with his body and said, "Butler Liu, we all understand people. Although beating a dog depends on the owner, the owner does not care about the dog, and the dog has to die. Besides, the other party is just a six-year-old child. You can't tell the truth wherever you go, don't you think so?"
Liu Chenghong nodded, "You are right. I shouldn't have been skeptical about a little kid. I'll settle the score with him."
