Under the darkness outside the window, the outline of the solitary mountain painted by Jiang Yanmeng can no longer be seen clearly.

Zhang Yue sat at the table, scratching his head and head.

He does know a thing or two about Jiang Yan's Mengbi.

So the previous allusion in the dream is when the old man gave Jiang Yan a pen. Jiang Yan became a master of articles with his pen, and the articles he wrote were all wonderful.

But later, after the pen was taken back, Jiang Yan's talent declined and he could no longer write such good sentences, so there was the well-known idiom "Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted".

And the lonely mountain in front of me is said to have been transformed by Jiang Yan's pen.

When Jiang Yan was the county magistrate in Pucheng, he had this fortune.

But I didn’t expect that this pen was a gift from the old man in the dream, and in the next dream, the old man named Zhang Jingyang gave it to me as a gift.

This is comparable to Jiang Yan’s pen!

But what is the use of the gift given by the old man? Zhang Yue didn't quite understand it yet, he just thought about what the old man said over and over again, "The affairs of the world, the heart of a young man, are clear and deep in dreams."

After thinking for a long time, he didn't understand what the old man meant. He just understood what happened in the dream. He remembered it very clearly, including every detail.

This is different from the past. In the past, when I dreamed, I only remembered a rough outline of what I dreamed about when I woke up.

If the dream is slightly clearer, it usually means that you did not sleep well.

But I didn't feel tired at all. I just felt that these details were very real, as if I had experienced them myself when I woke up during the day.

Zhang Yue thought about it again and realized that he had slept soundly just now. When he woke up, he felt refreshed, energetic and full of energy. He didn't look like he had woken up from a nightmare at all.

When Zhang Yue woke up, he saw that the sky was dark outside.

"I actually slept for another five or six hours."

Zhang Yue thought to himself that he didn't do much this day and was basically sleeping.

"Why didn't anyone call me to eat?" Thinking of this, my stomach growled again, and the pancakes I had eaten for lunch were long gone.

Zhang Yue took the tall lamp and walked to the door.

The Zhang family is a six-rafted building, with two rooms upstairs and two downstairs, and a box in the north and south. Zhang Shi and his wife live in the south room upstairs, and Zhang Xu and Zhang Yue live in the north room.

The two rooms downstairs are used as kitchen stoves and facades for guest seating.

Zhang Yue wanted to find some residual charcoal in the kitchen stove to light the lamp, and then thought about where to find some food. However, Zhang Yue suddenly remembered that there was no fire at noon, so where did the residual charcoal come from.

But I heard a noise downstairs.

Zhang Yue walked downstairs, but there was a loud bang on the door of his house.

The door was shaking. Zhang Yue suddenly encountered this scene, and he remembered that he was a little frightened when he heard about Zhao Yasi's methods. But after calming down, Zhang Yue quickly walked to the stove and took the kitchen knife for chopping vegetables.

With the kitchen knife in hand, I feel certain in my heart.

Zhang Yue heard a loud bang behind him, and the front door of his house seemed to be kicked open.

But I heard a voice saying: "Why are you so unruly? Do you know anyone would kick in the door of their own home?"

"I have lost my memory and forgot that the Zhang family has pledged this house to the security guard."

Zhang Yue looked outside the door clearly, and saw dozens of big men standing outside the door, and some people lit torches and shined their light into the house. At this time, he had already pinned the kitchen knife behind his back.

The first person stepped outside the door and kicked the basket blocking the way. He first looked around the room with his hands behind his hands, and then looked at Zhang Yue.

Then someone squeezed in from behind and said, "Come and take inventory of your belongings. Check them carefully for me. If anything gets bumped, I want you to take a good look at it."

A large group of people holding sticks and ropes seemed to be coming to pack things.

Zhang Yue was a little panicked and wondered where his brother was at this moment.

At this moment, the leader walked up to Zhang Yue. He was wearing a black shirt and a Confucian sash belt around his waist. This man was completely different from the one who had stepped in the door just now. Instead, he said gently and authentically: "Are you the Sanlang of the Zhang family?"

Zhang Yue didn't answer.

The other party took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said to Zhang Yue: "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to embarrass you. This is an IOU written by your brother. Your Zhang family owes me three hundred guan and has no money to repay the debt, so I will pay it first."

I sold this house and all my belongings. I acted according to the receipts and bought and sold clearly."

Zhang Yue also boldly looked at the other party, Zhao Yasi, who was feared in Pucheng. However, he saw that the other party was not very aggressive, nor did he disdain to do so to a child of his.

You must know that there are four major Jia clans in Pucheng, and most of the county affairs have been controlled by the aristocratic clans, and it is common to ask for entrustment and hostage. Chen Xiang, a Hou official, first served as the chief minister and then the county magistrate, and wanted to reform his customs.

Zhao Yasi was originally a small official in the yamen. He was promoted by Chen Xiang and used him to suppress the powerful people in the county. This man had a bad reputation in Pucheng, but because he was very talented in managing affairs and his methods were very ruthless, Chen Xiang transferred him.

Later, the subsequent magistrate also had to reuse him.

If the Zhang family offends such a person, how can they live a good life in the future?

"What is Ashi asking you?"

"Are you pretending to be deaf? Do you understand etiquette?"

Several tall and thick men, with arms thicker than his own legs, glared at him, which made Zhang Yue feel a little scared in his heart.

Zhang Yue shrank and hesitated, saying: "If you have torn down the door of my house, what etiquette can you still say?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Zhang Yue asked with some lack of confidence: "May I ask if you are Zhao Yasi?"

Zhao Asi never looked down upon a child like Zhang Yue, so he smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your respect. If others call me Zhao Asi, it will be the same if you call me Zhao Asi."

Zhang Yue whispered: "Zhao Yasi, my eldest brother hasn't come back yet, please wait a moment, he will take charge of the family!"

Zhang Yue's voice was as quiet as a mosquito, and a rogue pretended to be surprised and said loudly: "Ah, everything is decided by the commander? Then what are you waiting for? Everything has been moved!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"No," Zhang Yue explained in a low voice, "My eldest brother is not at home. I have to keep an eye on this place and wait for my eldest brother to come back! Please wait a moment!"

Zhao Asi sneered: "If your eldest brother doesn't come back for a day, shall we wait for a day?"

A wretched-looking minion on the side said: "Oshi, do you think this boy looks like his second brother?"

Hearing his minions mention Brother Zhang Yue, Zhao Asi's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Since we can't catch his second brother at the moment, this man is also his biological brother. If we catch him and sell him to the mountains to be his brother-in-law, we can get a lot of money! We can use it to pay off the debt, and we can also pay for it to the bailiff.

Bad temper!"

Zhao Yasi said calmly: "What should I do if Zhang Dalang doesn't see his brother when he comes back?"

"Let's just pretend we don't know! Did anyone here see it?"

Everyone laughed strangely and said, "I didn't see it, I didn't see it. Where is Saburo Zhang? Have you seen it?"

"I didn't see it, why did we spend so much time taking pictures of Tianmen? You're obviously not at home."

Zhao Yasi did not comment, and the other party took Zhao Yasi's acquiescence. He took a step closer with a sinister smile on his face, looked at Zhang Yue condescendingly and said teasingly: "Come with me obediently! Don't suffer any physical pain."

But Zhao Yasi's left and right people continued to laugh strangely, as if it was a very funny thing, and they even took pleasure in bullying children.

He suddenly came up and grabbed Zhang Yue's hand.

"No! No!" Zhang Yue showed a horrified look.

"Don't be afraid! I won't hurt you." The man smiled proudly and stretched out his arms to grab Zhang Yue.

The opponent thought he had frightened Zhang Yue with his words and deceived him because he was young and confident. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue suddenly took a step back and slashed at the opponent with his backhand.

"ah!"

There was a scream, and the kitchen knife was aimed at the neck. Even if the person reacted in time and took a step back, there was still a wound on his chest.

Although the kitchen knife was blunt, it still made a wound.

The other party fell to the ground covered in blood and said in panic: "Oshi, Osi? Help me, help me, I'm going to die!"

Everyone in the room was shocked by Zhang Yue. Before they were Zhao Yasi's minions, they were all rogues in the market. It was normal to fight with people on the street, but how dare a twelve or thirteen-year-old child do this?

You must know that the knife just went towards the neck!

Zhao Yasi's minions were in an uproar.

"Oshi, let's deal with this boy first."

"Keep it for fear of causing trouble in the future."

"To cut the weeds, we need to get rid of the roots. Once you get rid of everything, it's all done."

Zhao Asi said calmly: "I didn't notice it, but he is quite courageous. Not only does he look like your second brother, but he also has such a bold temperament!"

Zhang Yue said: "Oshi, I don't want to see blood with a knife, but if I am forced to be anxious, rabbits will bite people, don't you think so?"

"Then you put down the knife first." Zhao Yasi said.

"Oshi, don't force me." Zhang Yue took a step back, but the next moment he wiped the blood from the kitchen knife on his face and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Help, help! Oshi has killed someone!"

"Help!"

Everyone was shocked. This young man looked fierce just now, but at this moment he was too timid to call for help. This situation changed so fast that everyone couldn't adapt to it for a while.

Neighbors who were lingering outside heard Zhang Yue's cry for help and came closer.

"Oshi, he is still a child!"
