Chapter 251 Give him a lesson
Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi moved quickly towards Yunkong Town.
Of course, Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi did not neglect to search for the trace of the Fantasy World Tree along the way in order to hurry on.
In this way, Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi hurried on their way while paying close attention to the movements around them.
As the journey progressed, the sky gradually darkened.
Fengzi Cheng looked around and pointed forward, saying, "I remember there is a village ahead. Let's rest there for a night and continue our journey tomorrow."
After saying that, the two men gently kicked their horses and galloped away. Soon they arrived at the village.
From afar, the village has been gradually lit up with tiny lights. The faint lights flicker in the deepening night, like scattered stars in the night sky, adding a bit of warmth to this quiet village.
The two entered the village. The village was not big, so naturally there were no inns or other accommodations like those in towns that were specifically for travelers to stay.
However, under the influence of the "superpower" of money, an enthusiastic villager quickly agreed to provide them with accommodation.
He quickly and carefully cleaned up a house that had been uninhabited for a long time. After everything was done, he provided a place for Li Zhi and his friends to rest for one night.
Not only that, the villager also thoughtfully prepared dinner for Li Zhi and his friends. In this way, Li Zhi and his friends no longer had to eat the cold, dry food. Of course, the villager's thoughtful service naturally came at a different price.
Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi were sitting at the table in the house, eating the dinner prepared by the villagers with relish. Although it was not a gourmet meal, it was certainly better than the dry food.
As they were eating, they suddenly heard a noise outside the house.
After a while, the door opened with a creaky sound. The villager who came in was the one who had just come in, and behind him were two other people.
The villager said to Li Zhi and the others with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm sorry, you two. We just happened to be passing through here, but there is really no other place to stay in this village. Tonight, you can only stay in this house together for one night."
Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi were open-minded people, so they didn't mind this. After all, there was no special room for rest in this house, and they were just going to sleep on the floor tonight, so having two more people living together wouldn't bother them at all.
When the villager saw that Li Zhi and the other man did not express any objection, he immediately smiled and happily spread a mat on the floor for the other two people in the open space inside the house so that they could have a place to sleep tonight.
During the meal, Li Zhi glanced at the two people who had just arrived.
One of them looked quite young, but his face was full of disgust, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the simple living environment.
The other one looked older and was talking to the young man in a nice voice. From his expression, it seemed that he was trying hard to persuade the young man to accept the current situation.
Li Zhi immediately understood in his mind that judging from the situation, these two people should be in a master and servant relationship.
After the villager had made the mat for the two men, Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi had finished their meal, so they asked the villager to take away the dishes and other things on the table.
The villager quickly packed up the things one by one and then left the house. The house immediately returned to its previous quietness.
Seeing that there were outsiders present, Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi considered it inconvenient to say much about the trip and related matters, so they lay down quietly and prepared to rest early, so as to accumulate some energy for tomorrow's trip.
At this moment, Li Zhi suddenly heard the young man who lived in the same room with them. As if he had reached the limit of his patience, he lowered his voice, but angrily cursed the old servant: "You old thing, look at what a shabby place this is. You actually let me live with these inferiors. How can I sleep?"
Although the voice was not loud, it was clearly audible in the silent room, and the disdain and arrogance in the words were clearly revealed.
When Li Zhi heard the young man's rude words, he couldn't help but frown, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
However, he did not stand up and say anything immediately. He just complained a few words in his heart, thinking that it was better to have less trouble than more, and there was no need to bother with such an uncultured person.
But then, a crisp "pop" sound was heard, which seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet room.
Li Zhi couldn't help but turn his head and look over, he saw the old servant covering his face, his cheeks were so red and swollen that his hands couldn't cover them, it was obvious that he had just been slapped hard by the young man.
The old servant's eyes revealed helplessness and grievance, but he did not dare to resist at all. He just stood there silently, enduring this sudden humiliation.
Although Li Zhi was very unhappy with the young man's behavior, he also knew that this was a matter between master and servant after all. As an outsider, it was not appropriate for him to interfere too much. He still did not intend to say more, and prepared to turn over and continue sleeping, pretending that he did not see this scene.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhi wanted to keep things quiet and didn't want to pay attention to them, but the young man just came up and caused trouble.
He stared at Li Zhi with wide eyes, and scolded him in a bad tone: "What are you looking at! You poor bastard!"
Li Zhi finally stood up. Not only was there no anger on his face, but there was a faint smile on his face. He thought to himself: Finally, I have a legitimate reason to beat him up! It is unreasonable not to teach this guy a lesson.
Li Zhi walked towards him slowly, moving his hands and feet, and his joints made crackling sounds.
The young man saw Li Zhi with that weird smile on his face, approaching him step by step, and he couldn't help but feel scared. His face turned pale instantly, and his body unconsciously stepped back a few steps, and said in a trembling voice: "You...what do you want to do..."
The arrogance in that voice was gone, and it was replaced by full of fear.
"Nothing. I just can't stand being scolded. When I'm scolded, I get itchy and want to stretch my muscles."
As Li Zhi was talking, he walked up to the young man.
The young man was so scared that he quickly hid behind the old servant and pushed the old servant hard, asking the old servant to deal with Li Zhi.
The old servant hung his hands, his face full of helplessness and sorrow. He lowered his head and said to Li Zhi humbly, "My son is inexperienced and has been spoiled. I hope you will forgive him."
After hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I'm not his father, why should I tolerate him?"
As he said this, Li Zhi suddenly pushed the old servant away, and then punched the young man hiding behind the old servant.
Li Zhi actually held back some strength in this punch. He knew in his heart that although this young man had a bad mouth, he was ultimately just a guy who had never experienced the world and was spoiled. Looking at his thin arms and legs, it was really hard to help but hit him.
Li Zhi didn't want to beat him up just because of a momentary anger, he just wanted to teach him a lesson.
After all, Li Zhi would not take the other person's life just because of a few words. In Li Zhi's opinion, this kind of person deserves to be punished, and he should be made to suffer a little so that he will remember it.
The young man was hit hard by Li Zhi's punch and was knocked over instantly. He screamed "Ouch" and fell heavily to the ground.
He lay there, covering the place where he was hit, grimacing in pain, his eyes full of fear and terror. He looked at Li Zhi as if he had seen a flood or a beast.
Looking at the young man lying on the ground, Li Zhi put on a vicious face and said unceremoniously: "If you dare to disturb my sleep tonight, I will get up and beat you up."
The young man no longer dared to be arrogant at this time. He kept shaking his head like a rattle, indicating that he absolutely dared not do it.
Seeing him like this, Li Zhi didn't pay any more attention to him. He turned around and walked back to his original sleeping place.
He happened to see Fengzi Cheng looking at him with a half-smile on his face, obviously having seen everything that had just happened. The two smiled at each other, understanding each other tacitly, but without saying much, they each lay down and prepared to continue sleeping.
The young man seemed to be really scared by Li Zhi's beating. He was very quiet that night and didn't even dare to make a sound, let alone make a noise. He was afraid that if he was not careful, Li Zhi would get up and beat him again.
In this way, Li Zhi slept particularly comfortably that night.
