Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

When the rooster crows, the morning light is dim.

It was not yet dawn outside.

Zhang Xiaofan was already accustomed to living like this. He immediately got up when he heard the sound of the rooster crowing, then carried a bucket of water, washed and cleaned up in the dilapidated courtyard. The cold well water made people feel energetic.

Looking at the distant sky, the halo of the black and red clouds, Zhang Xiaofan felt a moment of loss of consciousness.

In a trance, he suddenly realized that he was in the remote town at the junction of Yongzhou and Yunzhou, which had been stationed for more than a month.

From the beginning to the beginning of being strange and vigilant, to the point where Zhang Xiaofan has been accepted by the family formed by He Laoliu.

He had never made any special moves, he just said less and did more things.

It was just like this that the simplicity of his peasant children showed, allowing He Laoliu and even other young children to accept him.

"Cruff~"

The old wooden door opened and closed sounded loudly.

He Laoliu rubbed his eyes and walked out of the house. He saw the tall back in the yard and asked with a gentle smile: "Xiaofan, how early is it to get up?"

"Well," Zhang Xiaofan put the wooden barrel, took the hoe from home and walked out, "I'll go to the field."

For his physical fitness, the two acres of land had been taken care of by him early, and even had time to spare, so he opened a piece of land in a remote place.

He Laoliu used to have to go up the mountain to collect firewood every one or two days. It was enough to serve two acres of land, so it was not open up. Now there is more Zhang Xiaofan, but there is enough labor.

Although Zhang Xiaofan himself didn't know how long he would stay here and He Laoliu tacitly did not mention it, he would always do his best before leaving.

"Remember to come back soon!"

"Today is a special day. It's good for the old man to take you out when he was young!"

Zhang Xiaofan waved his back to him, as a response.

Walking on the field path, he felt inexplicably at ease, as if he should belong to the field. After walking for two quarters of an hour, he arrived at the newly opened land. Zhang Xiaofan took off his hoe and became busy in silence.

When the sun rises, there are many farmers in the fields, and most of the small towns in the distance have smoke rising. Zhang Xiaofan, who is sweating all over, stopped working and went back.

Farmers do not have three meals a day, only one meal each morning and evening.

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan was already hungry like other farmers, and returned home following the faint smell of food.

After breakfast, a group of children were taken by the older little tiger, and they packed firewood in the yard and brought back mountain delicacies that they could not be processed in time. After drying these, they could also be exchanged for some goods.

Zhang Xiaofan helped to clean up the dishes and was about to continue working in the fields, but He Laoliu quickly stopped him.

"Hey, Xiaofan! Have you forgotten what the old man said to you before?"

"Go, hurry up and change your clothes clean. Let's go to today's Dharma Assembly together!"

Only then did Zhang Xiaofan notice that today He Laoliu changed his clothes that he had never worn before. He looked clean and tidy, and was very energetic, making him look a few years younger.

"Mahayana?"

"Yes," He Laoliu obviously had a different spirit when talking about the Dharma Assembly. "The great monks from Hongyun Temple visited Dongtaining Temple in Zhen to preach the supreme and mysterious 'Infinite Calamity Sutra' to everyone. Those who enter the room to listen to the Dharma and worship Buddha can also get blessings-"

"Don't go."

When Zhang Xiaofan heard the word "high monk", he immediately felt disgusted and refused without thinking.

He Laoliu was stunned for a moment and said anxiously: "Hey, Xiaofan! The preaching of the monk Hongyun is not easy to encounter, especially the quota for listening to the Dharma is the most rare! The old man has been in line since the beginning of the year and has not yet had a quota until today. He is just trying to give this quota to you so that you can get the prayers of the monks. Why don't you behave like a person?"

Zhang Xiaofan felt warm when he heard this. It turned out that He Laoliu valued the Dharma Assembly or was it for his own sake?

But when the knot in his heart was difficult to resolve, he did not make a decision: "Dad He, you will go by yourself. Buddhism has a grudge against me, so I will not accept any blessings!"

He Laoliu saw the determination in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes.

He is a very sensible person. Although Zhang Xiaofan has a very good character, He Laoliu will not do anything that makes him disgusted. Therefore, He Laoliu felt regretful and did not show his face. He just comforted him and said: "Whether it is good, it's a Dharma Assembly. Is it possible to be at peace with my heart? Is it true that I really hope that the monks and great masters will talk about the scriptures, so that I can change my life?"

"You don't have to worry about me. If you want to go, I will take good care of them."

Zhang Xiaofan spoke frankly and sincerely, and He Laoliu was relieved. He was looking forward to this Dharma Assembly for a long time. He immediately called Xiaohu and gave instructions, and then said a few words to Zhang Xiaofan. Then he looked a little anxious and headed to Zhendong Temple.

Considering the few little guys, Zhang Xiaofan reduced his busy time in the fields today and went back just after noon.

When he walked to the town, he thought for a while and then went to the grocery store to buy some pastries.

Although those pastries are not exquisite, they are enough to be considered delicacies for Xiaohu and the others. When Zhang Xiaofan came, they couldn't eat these things at all.

Just as Zhang Xiaofan was smiling and about to walk back to the deciduous courtyard, a group of people from afar immediately attracted his attention.

He looked closely and the sound was coming from the courtyard.

In a remote place that no one has ever cared about, a few strong men were carrying half-new wooden sedan chairs outside the yard. The children of the He family were surrounded by a group of children. A man with tiger-eyed and bearded grabbed an older child, making it impossible for him to make trouble. Then he called instructed the others to capture a few young girls and send them to the wooden sedan chairs.

The child's crying sound spread from afar, but several families that were slightly closer to the He family closed their doors early and did not dare to get involved.

When Zhang Xiaofan saw this scene, he was frightened and furious. He shouted "Stop" from afar, and his figure flew away.

Those who caught children could only hear a roar like a thunderclap in their ears, and then their eardrums were bloated and painful, and they shivered and their hands were suddenly stagnant.

Immediately, a flash of eyes appeared, and a young man with a hoe on his body was stained with soil.

Before everyone could react, the wrists of the two men who were holding people suddenly hurt, and they let go of their hands, and the girl who was caught was immediately able to break free. She cried and rushed to Zhang Xiaofan in front of tears.

"It's okay, don't cry anymore. I bought you my favorite osmanthus cake!"

Zhang Xiaofan squatted down, threw the hoe aside, touching their little heads with one hand to comfort them.

Several big men looked at each other and then realized.

The strong man with a bearded and tiger turned sideways, and looked at a young man who was timid and drifting with his eyes, as if he was harsh and harsh, looking at him: "He Bin, what's going on?"

Perhaps because there are many people on our side, the strong man is not afraid. He subconsciously let go of his hands and asked the little tiger to break free.

"Brother Zhang, you're back!"

"These bad guys want to take Hu Niu, Ah Hua and the others away while you and your father are away!"

Zhang Xiaofan frowned when he heard this, patted the two little girls comfortably, and stood up. He Bin looked at him, obviously not recognizing him, and hurriedly said to the strong man: "Master Ma, I don't recognize this kid. He is not from our He family!"

The strong man narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "So, is he a nosy?"

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes were calm, he looked around the few people, his eyes fell to the strong man, and said lightly: "Who are you?"

Ma Ye hummed heavily in his nose, glanced at him sideways, and said, "Boy, Ma Ye doesn't care who you are, he only has one piece of advice - don't meddle in other people's business!"

Zhang Xiaofan didn't care about his threat and said, "What happened? I'm afraid my sisters didn't offend you, right?"

Seeing that he was ignorant, Ma's face suddenly collapsed and showed a dangerous look: "Boy, He Bin owed Ma's silver ounces. It is natural to pay back the money! But now he can't afford to pay the money, so he uses these girls to pay off the debt. If he is conscious, get out of the way, otherwise don't blame Ma for being rude to you!"

Zhang Xiaofan glanced at He Bin, thought about his surname, and said, "What does this person have to do with my sister's money?"

Ma Ye's eyes sank: "Are you pretending to be garlic with Ma Ye? He Bin is He Laoliu's son. What's wrong with him using these girls to pay off his debts?"

Before Zhang Xiaofan could speak, Xiaohu shouted first: "He is just the adopted son adopted by his father. Dad He has driven him out long ago. He is no longer our elder brother! Hu Niu and the others are not his sisters!"

Zhang Xiaofan looked at Master Ma: "Did you hear it? If you hear it, get out of here. We don't welcome you here!"

Mr. Ma said angrily: "Okay! You guy is a genital!"

Immediately, my head turned and signaled to the man next to me. I suddenly understood and stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Xiaofan's clothes. After learning about the purpose of the people, Zhang Xiaofan was not as gentle as before. He reached out and pinched the man's arm, and then folded it to the side. The man's face suddenly changed drastically and he howled in pain!

Mr. Ma was furious and shouted, "Go together and call me!"

The big men obviously did the thugs on weekdays, and they moved in response to the sound and rushed forward. Zhang Xiaofan first raised his leg and kicked the one in his hand away, then stood there without moving, and just moved slightly to avoid fists and feet, and easily knocked the big man down one by one with his hands.

At this moment, a strong wind came from behind!

Master Ma pulled out a sharp blade at some point, and while Zhang Xiaofan was facing his back, he stabbed him fiercely!

However, he completely misunderstood the gap in strength between the two.

Just as the sharp blade was approaching, Zhang Xiaofan turned around calmly, stretched out his hand to sniff, and actually grabbed Ma Ye's sharp blade accurately. He let him do his best, but the sharp blade seemed to be as if it was still in a rock!

Master Ma was shocked, and suddenly his chest was suffocated, and his sharp blade flew backwards without control, hitting the wooden sedan chair parked beside him. His heavy body hit the wooden sedan chair and then knocked out from the other side. He rolled several times on the ground before he could barely stop!

"you--"

Mr. Ma was shocked. As soon as he opened his mouth, he vomited a large mouthful of blood, and his face became dim to the naked eye.

"roll!"

"Don't let me say it a second time!"

Mr. Ma and his subordinates did not care about the pain in their bodies, so they hurriedly got up, carefully placed Mr. Ma on the wooden sedan chair with only the bottom left, and then lifted it up and ran away.
Chapter completed!
