This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 100: Counterattack! Jia Family? Dream of Red Mansions?
"Tick, tick..."

The rain fell on the branches and leaves, and then dripped onto the ground.

A chill set in through the woods.

Luo Zijun slowly clenched his fists and looked at the person opposite him.

At this point, running away was pointless.

The tall and thin man had already come up to him with a gloomy expression.

The clothes on his body rustled and fluttered.

"Kid, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too smart..."

He just said this sentence, then he suddenly rushed out like a cheetah, and his fist hit Luo Zijun's face with a "whoosh" sound, carrying a whistling wind.

The speed is extremely fast!
A cold light flashed in Luo Zijun's hand, and he thrust forward with force.

There was a hint of sarcasm in the tall and thin man's eyes, and his huge fist hit the tip of the dagger directly without any avoidance.

The sharp dagger tip, due to its speed and force, did not pierce his fist. Instead, it slid along the tough skin on his fist with a "swish".

Then, he was knocked away by that fist.

At the same time, the fist continued to move forward with unabated momentum, and with a "bang", it hit Luo Zijun's chest.

Luo Zijun's body shook and he flew backwards.

After flying four or five meters away, Fang fell heavily to the ground.

"what?"

Although he won with one move, the tall and thin man still looked surprised and doubtful.

Because he didn't hear what he was supposed to hear.

——The sound of broken ribs.

He had already successfully refined his skin and was about to be promoted to the second level of warrior.

This punch, let alone hitting a scholar, could make a dent in the chest even if it hit a farmer.

If not dead, then disabled.

There was a gleam in his eyes, and he looked at the young man on the ground with some doubt.

At this moment, a scene that surprised him even more appeared.

The young man actually stood up from the ground.

"puff……"

Luo Zijun crawled up from the mud on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The pain in my chest was unbearable.

But fortunately, it was not a fatal injury.

The tall and thin man looked at him in astonishment, then his heart was shocked, and he reacted and looked at him in disbelief: "You...you are a warrior?"

Luo Zijun did not say anything, the internal force in his Danhai surged and flowed into his fists.

The warrior's aura was finally revealed.

"Good! Good!"

The tall and thin man woke up from his shock and couldn't help but grin, with murderous intent in his eyes becoming even stronger.

"Today is your death day!"

He rushed out like a cheetah again, his fists whistling like the wind.

"Whoosh-"

Luo Zijun poured all his strength into his fists and immediately rushed forward.

The first move of Kaishan Fist, punch out from the East!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The two men punched each other head on, and their fists collided like thunder, making a bang.

After dozens of punches.

The tall and thin man seized the opportunity and punched Luo Zijun in the chest again.

This time.

Luo Zijun turned his body to the side, slightly reducing the force.

But the huge force still made him fly backwards and fall heavily into the mud behind him.

There was a sharp pain in my chest again.

He didn't have time to lick his wounds. He immediately got up from the ground, waving his fists, and prepared for the next round of attacks.

The wind was howling in the woods.

The rain was still falling.

There was smoke everywhere, and it was hazy.

The two figures moved quickly in the forest, and their fists collided fiercely in front of them.

The grass rustled on the ground and the mud splashed.

The silent battle between the two became more and more intense.

Since it was Luo Zijun's first battle and he had no combat experience, he was knocked to the ground many times. However, he still relied on his tenacious will and strong physique to get up from the ground and continue fighting.

The tall and thin man had gone from being calm at the beginning to becoming anxious and irritable.

"boom!"

About half an hour later.

Luo Zijun was knocked flying by a punch again, spitting blood, and hit a big tree behind him heavily, then fell awkwardly into the mud on the ground.

This time, the tall and thin man did not follow immediately.

He stood there, his chest heaving, breathing heavily, a hint of paleness appearing on his face, and his clenched fists beginning to tremble.

The fight took too long.

The internal strength in his body had been almost exhausted, and his tough fists could no longer hold on and became numb.

He was frightened by the boy's tenacity.

"call……"

He was breathing heavily, rested for a few breaths, and immediately ran over with gritted teeth.

And at this time.

Luo Zijun also endured the pain and stood up from the ground.

Although his body was a little shaky and his head was a little dizzy, he still stood up.

"Boy, go to hell!"

The tall and thin man roared, then suddenly jumped up with all his strength and pounced on him like an angry lion!
Luo Zijun was no longer able to dodge and could only raise his fist to attack upwards.

"boom!"

A muffled sound!
The two fists collided heavily.

Then, there was a crisp sound.

Luo Zijun's arm actually bent inward and broke.

His fist overlapped with the opponent's fist, like a sledgehammer, and with a "bang", it hit his chest heavily.

There was a muffled sound.

He flew backwards again and fell awkwardly into the mud behind him.

Severe pain and dizziness came over me.

This time, he couldn't get up.

After the successful attack, the tall and thin man staggered and almost fell.

But the tall and thin man knew that this time, the opportunity must not be missed!

He immediately bit his tongue and forced himself to calm his mind and body. He then pulled out a dagger from his body, breathing heavily, and walked towards the young man who was lying on the ground and unable to get up.

Luo Zijun watched him approaching with a dagger in his hand and struggled to get up, but the severe pain in his chest and the broken arm prevented him from getting up immediately.

The tall and thin man laughed grimly and suddenly rode on him. He panted heavily, raised the dagger in his hand and hissed, "Boy, you can force me to this point today. You deserve to die! Now, that's it!"

After saying that, he pointed the dagger in his hand at Luo Zijun's heart and stabbed it hard!

"Shh!"

Just as the dagger was about to pierce his chest, Luo Zijun suddenly raised one hand and grabbed his wrist tightly.

The sharp tip of the dagger suddenly stopped above his heart and had touched his clothes.

The tall and thin man gritted his teeth and stabbed downwards suddenly with force, but it only pierced his clothes and stopped there again.

The veins on Luo Zijun's hand that grasped his wrist bulged, and his whole body was tense. Almost all of his strength was used in this hand, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

The tall and thin man grinned and took out his other hand.

He grasped the handle of the dagger with both hands and began to stab downward with force.

The sharp dagger tip slowly pierced through the clothes inside, then continued to tremble downwards, piercing into the flesh below...

But at this moment, Luo Zijun felt a surge of strength coming from nowhere, and once again held the tall and thin man's wrist tightly, causing the tip of the dagger to stop in the flesh and unable to move forward any further.

The two men gritted their teeth, their bodies tensed and trembling, trying their best.

The dagger still couldn't advance even an inch.

Seeing this, the tall and thin man's face became ferocious. He suddenly released one hand, grabbed his neck, and then started to use both hands to exert force.

Now, Luo Zijun could no longer care about other places.

One of his hands was broken and unable to move, and with the other hand, he could only tightly grasp the other person's hand holding the dagger.

The tall and thin man showed a look of joy and said with a sinister smile: "Kid, go and die in peace!"

After saying that, he pinched his neck even harder.

Luo Zijun opened his mouth, his face was pale, and he could no longer breathe. In his mind, the scenes from this world involuntarily reappeared.

Sister, brother-in-law.

Senior sister, master.

Xiaohuan, that Miss Liu...

Even Su Bie, Wang Dafu, Sun Yaner and others...

There are also familiar streets, enthusiastic Aunt Wang, and the beautiful West Lake...

All the scenes here, this moment, are so beautiful, so he can't bear to forget it...

Do not!
Do not!
He can't die, he must not die!

How could he let go of everything he had worked so hard to get?

In the Danhai, a powerful hot current suddenly rushed up with a "swish" sound, and went up along the Taiyin Lung Meridian of the hand, to the arm, to the wrist, and to the palm.

Next, we come to the thumb.

When he opened his mouth, unable to breathe and about to pass out, a huge force quickly gathered in his thumb and then suddenly broke through the top of his thumb.

The thumb that was pressing tightly on the tall and thin man's wrist suddenly turned red as fire!

At this moment, the tall and thin man had a hideous smile on his face that seemed to send him to hell.

"laugh--"

At this moment, an inch-long flame suddenly burst out from the tip of Luo Zijun's thumb, like a knife, instantly piercing the tough flesh on the tall and thin man's wrist!
But the thumb pierced directly into the tall and thin man's wrist like cutting tofu!

"what--"

The sudden severe pain made the tall and thin man tremble all over and scream.

Then, he hurriedly retracted the hand holding the dagger.

After Luo Zijun's fiery red thumb left his wrist, it suddenly stabbed upwards like a dagger, and with a "puff" sound, it pierced deeply into the tall and thin man's throat!
The screams from the tall and thin man suddenly stopped.

He opened his mouth, widened his eyes, and looked down in disbelief.

A smell of burnt meat suddenly wafted from his neck.

Luo Zijun's thumb suddenly exerted force again, and with a "pop" sound, it completely penetrated his neck, almost taking his palm with it.

The tall and thin man widened his eyes, his lips trembled a few times, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but a stream of blood suddenly gushed out of his mouth.

Then, his eyes went dark, his body went limp, and he fell down.

"puff!"

Luo Zijun pulled out his thumb and stabbed it into his heart again!

The tall and thin man trembled, shivered a few times, and then died completely.

"Huh...huh..."

There was silence in the woods.

There were only the sounds of wind, rain, and Luo Zijun's heavy and rapid breathing.

The cold rain dripped down on his face, making his consciousness become clearer.

"I... survived..."

He breathed heavily and tiredly.

At this moment, even just a breath of air that smelled of dirt and blood made him feel extremely happy.

However, he didn't dare to stay any longer.

After lying on the ground and resting for a while, he struggled to get up, touched the corpse, and took away the other's storage bag.

Then, he took out clothes from his storage bag, changed into clean clothes, and walked out of the woods, dragging his tired and painful body.

When he walked to the outermost big tree, he suddenly pressed his broken arm against the thick trunk.

Then, he exerted force suddenly.

"Crack!"

A sharp pain came and the bone was reset.

He did not linger, but endured the pain, walked out of the woods in the rain.

Then, he walked down the stone steps and left.

The sky was gloomy and the drizzle was hazy.

There were no pedestrians on the road.

He stumbled all the way, gritting his teeth, and finally arrived at Bao'an Hall before he was about to faint from exhaustion.

"Squeak..."

Close the door and everything becomes quiet.

He sat down in the rocking chair, closed his eyes, and seemed to fall into a deep sleep immediately.

But he didn't dare fall asleep.

After resting for a full hour, he dragged his aching body to get up, took the herbs, and went to the backyard to boil water to make medicine.

The rich aroma of medicine soon filled the entire woodshed.

He took off his clothes and quickly entered the bathtub. When the scalding liquid wrapped around his entire body, a more severe pain suddenly hit him.

He gritted his teeth and endured it.

But soon, the pain began to ease and my whole body began to feel comfortable.

He looked down at his chest.

A dark bruise appeared there, with a large amount of blood gathered there.

He closed his eyes and rubbed gently while soaking it.

At the same time, he began to review the previous fight in the woods in his mind.

He was always at a disadvantage in the battle.

There are two reasons.

The first reason is that although the other party is only at the first level of warrior cultivation, his actual strength is obviously above his.

The second reason is that he has no combat experience.

Both of these reasons are fatal.

But fortunately, he has a good physique, and his defense and internal strength are no worse than the other party.

That’s why it can be delayed until the end.

As for the final fatal blow, it was really just a fluke.

Thinking about it now, I still feel scared.

If he had not practiced the Fiery Finger, if he had not unleashed that burst of fire at the last moment, he would definitely be the one lying in the woods now.

The Fiery Finger does seem useless.

Even in close combat, it is useless and will hinder other more explosive skills. But if it is a tangled battle like today, it will be very useful.

The fingers can be used as daggers.

However, how many times will the battles between warriors be like today?
Of course, this is just the initial stage of the Fiery Finger.

According to the book, if you practice the Fiery Finger to a certain extent, not only can the size of the fire knife increase, but you can even let it fly out of your hand and shoot out like a flying knife to kill people at a distance.

At that time, its usefulness increased greatly.

The power and effects described in the book were quite similar to the effects of the Six Meridians Divine Sword that he had seen on TV.

I wonder if it will be as cool then.

I thought about it for a while.

He suddenly stood up and took the warrior killer's storage bag.

Once a warrior dies, the storage bag will become ownerless. One can check and take out the contents by simply inputting internal energy.

If you want to put something in it, you need to drip your own blood and essence into it to establish a connection with it.

Luo Zijun input his internal energy and looked inside the storage bag.

It contained some basic necessities such as clothes and food, as well as two silver notes with a face value of one hundred yuan and five hundred taels of silver.

Money is a good thing!
Luo Zijun immediately took out the banknotes and silver and put them into his storage bag.

This money is enough for him to take medicinal baths for a long time.

Today's fight has yielded some good results.

He continued to check.

In the corner of the storage bag, there are some bottles and jars with names on them.

There are trauma drugs, as well as drugs and poisons.

In another corner, there was a brocade box placed alone.

Luo Zijun took it out immediately and opened the brocade box.

In the box, there was a black stone about half the size of a palm. It had sharp edges and was covered with strange patterns, which looked quite weird.

"What is this?"

Since it is placed separately and specially packed in such a brocade box, it should not be an ordinary thing.

Luo Zijun studied it carefully for a while but did not find any clues.

I had no choice but to put it away and put it in my storage bag.

He carefully checked the other person's storage bag again and suddenly found two more books.

Take it out and take a look.

One is "Jade Foot Illustrations Four" and the other is "Begonia Poetry Collection".

"A collection of Begonia poems?"

Luo Zijun's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered a name he had heard in Taoyuan Restaurant: Begonia Poetry Society.

The noble lady took the initiative to take away his three poems, saying that she wanted to add them to the newly established Begonia Poetry Society.

He immediately opened the collection of poems and began to read it.

The title page contains the book's title and the name of its founder.

The founder’s name was written in four large characters - Begonia Poetry Society!
It turned out to be a poetry society created by that noble man!

It says below that this book was written by the Begonia Poetry Society.

Turning to another page, the names of all the members of the Begonia Poetry Society were written on the back.

Luo Zijun immediately looked at it carefully.

"Master Yihong, Concubine Xiaoxiang, Lady Hengwu, Old Friend Zhenxia, ​​Old Farmer Daoxiang, Lingzhou, Guest Under the Banana Tree, ..."

"This……"

Originally, Luo Zijun's face had become extremely gloomy, but after seeing these names, an extremely absurd and shocked expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Aren’t these names all from “Dream of the Red Chamber”?
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

"The four great families...Bai, Jia, Xue, and Shi?"

The four major families in "Dream of Red Mansions" are "Jia, Xue, Wang, and Shi"...

No way……

His head was suddenly buzzing with shock. He was stunned for a moment and then continued to look down.

The next page is the first poem.

It is called "Ode to Spring" and the author is: Guest Under the Banana Tree.

"The east wind blows the willows green as silk,

The grass is green and the swallows are late.

The shadows of flowers rise up to make up the morning color,
The sound of the gurgling brook brings new poetry.

Enjoy the scenery of peach blossoms in the garden,
The distant mountains are covered with mist and their green shadows are enchanting.

The best time of spring is in the world.

The warm sunshine penetrates my heart."

On the back, there is another poem titled "Falling Flowers in Autumn" and written by Concubine Xiaoxiang.

"The west wind is bleak and the wild geese are crying sadly,

The cold dew invades the branches and leaves and causes them to wither.

Flowers have fallen all over the garden without any old color.
The fragrance fades away and the dream brings sorrow.

The pond is deserted and deserted.
The dark shadow buries itself under the moon.

Don't lament that spring is fleeting.
The gathering and separation of the red dust is also dust.

"

Luo Zijun quickly turned to the third page and the fourth page.

Finally, on the last page, I saw his three poems!
Peach Blossom Prince:

"Last year at this time, the face of a man and the peach blossoms reflected each other's redness. I don't know where the face of a man has gone, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze..."

"Drunkenly floating in a light boat, the current leads me to the depths of the flowers. Mistaken by worldly fate, I have no way to stay among the flowers..."

"The village is surrounded by trees, and the pond is full of water. I lean on the east wind and feel very happy. The small garden is full of spring..."

Luo Zijun stared at the book blankly.

There was a buzzing sound in my head and ears.

Today's killer was obviously sent by the enemy that my sister and brother-in-law feared, and that enemy was most likely someone in the Jia family.

Before, he had heard about the Jia Mansion and the Begonia Poetry Society without thinking much about it.

Now when he saw this collection of poems and the familiar names on it, he suddenly found it unbelievable and extremely absurd.

There are actually people from "Dream of the Red Chamber" here!
And it’s that Jia Mansion!

What's more, the enemy who killed his parents was actually someone from the Jia family in "Dream of Red Mansions"!

For a moment, he felt like he was dreaming.

Things are getting more and more outrageous.

White Snake, Green Snake, he is Xu Xian, the tiger on Jingyang Ridge, and now there are Tanchun, Yingchun, Jia Baoyu, and Lin Daiyu!

At this time, the medicine in the bathtub has become cold.

His head was dizzy and he continued to sit there motionless, his thoughts flying to who knows where.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly woke up.

No matter what, after I go back tonight, I have to find my brother-in-law and find out about the enemy.

Since the other party has sent assassins, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully.

Unless he dies, or becomes a fool again.

The academy publicized his name, and the enemy of the Jia family must have known about it, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence.

With the opponent's current strength, killing him is like crushing an ant.

He clearly remembered that the Jia family in the book, for the sake of some money or face, relied on their power and connections to harm many people and even caused many families to be broken up.

And now.

The young lady of the Jia family had just been promoted to imperial concubine and was at the peak of her career.

In Lin'an City, apart from the royal family, no one dared to offend him. Even the royal family tried to win him over in various ways.

Not to mention his family background.

In the eyes of others, I am really worse than an ant.

I ignored them before, probably because I realized they posed no threat at all.

My brother-in-law is a poor constable with no power or influence, and his strength is only at the third level of martial arts.

Moreover, he went out on errands every day and there was nothing unusual.

My sister is just an ordinary woman.

And he was beaten into a fool, and posed no threat at all.

So the other party probably didn't even want to look at them, and was almost forgetting about them.

But now, it's different.

He suddenly transformed himself into a scholar and was admitted to the best academy in the outer city. At the academy exchange meeting, he became a talented person praised by everyone.

Such a change naturally made the other party start to notice him.

Once he passes the imperial examination and has achieved fame and honor, things will be different.

So, the other party couldn't help but take action.

Although it seems that he is still insignificant in front of the other party.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became heavy.

Nowadays, breaking the impasse is harder than climbing to the sky.

As for revenge for my parents, forget it. I have to save my own life first.

The first assassination attempt failed, but obviously there was a second and a third.

Maybe even go straight home.

As long as he doesn't die, my sister, brother-in-law and Xiaohuan will be in danger.

unless……

"No, I can't stay at home any longer."

He had to leave, and leave immediately.

If I stayed at home, there might not just be one assailant with a knife breaking in at night, but several, even in broad daylight.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the matter was imminent.

It has to be resolved quickly.

But where should he go now?
Living alone in Baoan Hall?
Obviously not.

With his current strength, living here alone would only make him die faster.

And it's the silent kind.

"Go back and ask my brother-in-law, find out who the enemy is, and then make plans."

He immediately got up from the bathtub.

After tidying up, he put all the medicinal herbs in the shop into the storage bag, and finally put his senior sister's bath tub in.

After thinking about it, he took a saw and a knife, and reluctantly removed all the martial arts tools in the backyard. Then he took some effort to cover all traces with mud and sand.

Now he must not let the other party know that he is secretly practicing martial arts.

Otherwise, you will die faster.

In the evening, he locked the shop and returned home.

The sky was gloomy and it was still raining.

back home.

After waiting for a while, my brother-in-law finally came back.

When Luo Zijun saw her sister cooking in the kitchen, she immediately pulled her brother-in-law to the backyard.

He was going to ask directly.

Li Zhengshan thought it was about practicing martial arts again, and was about to persuade him with a smile, but he heard him say directly: "Brother-in-law, tell me, who is our family's enemy? It must be someone from the Jia family, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhengshan's face changed suddenly.

Luo Zijun asked again: "Who is he in the Jia family? What is his name? What is his identity?"

When Li Zhengshan was in doubt, Luo Zijun suddenly tore open the clothes on her chest, revealing a large black bruise on her chest, and said, "Brother-in-law, I was ambushed on my way to the academy today. The other party wanted to kill me. I suspect it was the enemy of the Jia family, so I hope you can tell me."

Li Zhengshan looked at his chest and his body suddenly trembled.

I don't know whether it's anger or fear.
