"My grandma said, you are all poor people from outside the Great Wall, inferior people who should be slaves to rich families. This is our village, you should get out of here!"
Wang Zhengbao is only eight years old this year. Although he doesn't quite understand the meaning of some of Widow Liu's words, he can already repeat what he heard at home word for word.
After hearing his words, Ye Changrui's face suddenly turned dark.
He was the only one in his family who had received an education. When he was outside Shanhaiguan, he had heard clearly that if he became a slave for others, he would not be eligible to study in the future and would not be able to take the imperial examinations.
So what Wang Zhengbao said was definitely not good.
As for Ye Changxue, he didn't need to understand what Wang Zhengbao was saying. Just from his expression and tone, he knew that this kid didn't fart well.
Ye Changxue grabbed Wang Zhengbao's wooden sword and said, "Who are you talking about so badly?"
When Wang Zhengbao saw that his "weapon" was caught, he became furious.
This was a great shame and humiliation for someone like him who was determined to make a living in the world.
Wang Zhengbao pulled his "weapon" out of Ye Changxue's hand with force.
But he used too much force and the wooden sword hit Ye Ruinian on the head.
"Wow--" Ye Ruinian burst into tears in pain.
So, when no one could react, Ye Changxue suddenly put the basket in his hand into the grass by the roadside, rushed forward, and punched.
Although Wang Zhengbao always took a few children to cause trouble in the village, they would occasionally fight.
But that was only after they had been arguing with each other for a long time and couldn't find a winner, so they finally started fighting.
He had never seen anyone hit someone without saying a word.
Others were even more surprised.
“Ouch—”
Wang Zhengbao screamed, covered his nose with his hand and backed away repeatedly. Blood flowed through his fingers and dripped onto the front of his clothes.
Ye Changxue didn't expect that Wang Zhengbao would just stand there, motionless, and let him hit him.
Seeing that his punch hit the opponent's nose, Ye Changxue shook his hands proudly.
Although Rongxi Village is also a rural area, it is close to the capital and cannot compare with the tough folk customs in the areas outside the Great Wall.
Compared with Ye Changxue, Wang Zhengbao and his companions were like a spoiled Pekingese meeting a battle-hardened hunting dog. They were defeated miserably as soon as they met.
Looking at the blood on his hands, Wang Zhengbao's legs felt a little weak.
But in front of his friends, he still forced himself to say, "You, you actually dare to hit someone!"
"I'm going to hit you!" Ye Changxue raised his chin and said, "Who told you to say those dirty words? Who told you to hit my brother?"
As he said this, he waved his fist at Wang Zhengbao.
"You..." Wang Zhengbao wanted to say that Ye Changxue was too bullying, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was filled with blood from his nose.
The rest of the words were immediately swallowed down along with the blood in his nose.
Ye Changxue immediately taunted, "Hey, does blood mixed with snot taste good?"
These words made Wang Zhengbao so angry that his head was about to smoke.
He didn't care about anything else and suddenly rushed up, grabbed Ye Changxue's waist and threw him to the ground.
Ye Changxue had fought with other children outside the pass many times, so he was prepared for this and was not thrown to the ground by him. Instead, the two of them were evenly matched and stood there.
Seeing Wang Zhengbao rushing up to fight with Ye Changxue with blood all over his face and body, the few friends who followed him immediately felt a sense of loyalty.
Not only did no one run away, but they all moved closer and surrounded them.
Seeing that the other side had quite a number of people and they were all about eight or nine years old, Ye Changrui couldn't help but worry that his younger brothers and sisters would suffer.
He asked Ye Changzhao and Ye Changfeng to take Ye Changnian and Qingtian home first.
But my younger brother and sister suddenly widened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
He turned around hurriedly and saw Ye Changxue and Wang Zhengbao both fell to the ground, their hands still tightly grasping each other's clothes, fighting in a ball on the ground.
Wang Zhengbao's nosebleed also got on Ye Changxue's face and body, making it look as if both of them were injured.
"Second brother--" Qingtian looked nervously at the two people rolling on the ground, and couldn't tell who had the upper hand.
Just when everyone's attention was focused on the two people fighting, no one knew when Chunhua got behind everyone.
She grabbed Qingtian's arm, pulled her to her side, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Let go of my brother, or I will beat your sister!"
Qingtian looked up at Chunhua in disbelief.
We were sitting together eating fish and everything was fine before, why did Sister Chunhua catch me?
Chunhua avoided Qingtian's gaze, but she did not relax her hands at all. Instead, she used more force.
Qingtian's wrist was hurt by her grip and he felt very aggrieved. His eyes turned red instantly and tears welled up in them.
