Courtyard House: The Entire Clan's Extraordinary Marriage to Triplets, a Celestial Beauty

Li Dabiao drove the oxcart towards Lijia Village, whipping the old cow again and again.

The old ox was so tormented that its eyes rolled back, and it kept mooing, its tone pitiful, as if it were protesting: If you whip me again, I'm going on strike!

It took them more than two hours to walk here, but now that they were in a hurry to get home and complain, they rushed to the village entrance in just an hour and a half.

As soon as the oxcart came to a stop, two militiamen hurried up to greet him; it was Dashan and Erniu from his cousin's family. "Uncle Dabiao, you're finally back! What's wrong with you, all rushing around like that?"

Li Dabiao immediately put on a grief-stricken expression and pulled the two men aside to complain: "Dashan, Erniu! Your uncle got beaten up! He was beaten so badly, they hit and yelled at him, and I couldn't coax them back."

The two men were taken aback at first, and then scanned Li Dabiao from head to toe. They didn't see any obvious injuries, but their expressions instantly darkened.

Although this uncle and young clan leader is usually an idle fellow who doesn't do much serious work, he is still the village chief's son and the young clan leader of the Li clan.

Although the clan system is no longer popular these days, the old rules that have been passed down for thousands of years are still ingrained in people's bones. In addition, the old clan chief and village chief have extremely high prestige, so no one in the village dares to neglect Li Dabiao.

Upon hearing that the young clan leader had been bullied outside, the two men immediately turned red with anger, their fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

No way! No matter how unreliable Li Dabiao is, he's still their clan uncle. Bullying him is tantamount to slapping Li Family Village in the face! Who would be so foolish as to be so reckless!

Without asking who it was or where it was, the two turned around and rushed into the village, looking as if they wanted to call for help immediately.

Li Dabiao was completely stunned as he watched the two figures disappear into the distance.

"Huh? Wait a minute!"

He reached out his hand to call them back, but the two had already vanished. "At least let me finish my act! If I don't lay the groundwork properly, how am I going to trick you into coming to the city with me for revenge tomorrow? This is too hasty!"

With no other option, he could only slowly drive the oxcart toward the village, still pondering how to explain his "miserable situation" later.

After taking only two steps, they heard a "rustling" sound coming from the village, as if someone was searching for something, mixed with hurried footsteps.

He looked up and saw, good heavens, more than twenty young men carrying weapons rushed out indignantly, their eyes blazing with fury.

The more he looked, the more sweat poured down Li Dabiao's forehead. This scene was too frightening!

He could barely accept the Type 38 rifle, the Type 24 rifle, the Thompson submachine gun, the Type 11 light machine gun... but Dashan and Erniu were actually carrying a small Type 92 heavy machine gun together. Were they going to war?

Just as they were still in a daze, a heavy "gurgling" sound came from ahead. The crowd at the front immediately parted, and four men, covered in sweat, dragged out a rather large mountain cannon.

Looking at this setup, Li Dabiao's legs went weak. This wasn't a trip to seek revenge; it was clearly an attack on Ping'an County! They'd even brought out an Italian cannon?

The crowd swarmed around Li Dabiao, their faces flushed red, veins bulging on their hands gripping their guns, and a murderous aura practically overflowing from them.

Li Erzhu, carrying a Type 38 rifle, leaned forward, slamming the butt of the gun into the ground with a loud clang that sent dust flying. His voice was loud enough to scare away sparrows: "Uncle! Tell me! Which bastard is so blind? We'll take our weapons and raid his house right now, break his legs, and throw him in the ditch to feed the wild dogs!"

Li Shitou, who was carrying a Thompson submachine gun, also roared, his voice even more aggressive than Li Erzhu's: "That's right! Anyone who dares to mess with the people of Li Family Village is asking for trouble! I don't know what's wrong with me these past few days, but I feel like I have inexhaustible energy. I'll take advantage of this momentum and make those who bullied Uncle Da Biao pay a bloody price, so they'll know how powerful the Li family is!"

Da Shan and Er Niu slammed the heavy machine gun down on the ground, slapping the cold barrel and cursing under their breath, spittle almost landing on Li Da Biao's face: "You son of a bitch! How dare you bully our Uncle Da Biao! Watch me blast him with a burst of bullets, he won't even have a chance to beg for mercy!"

The others joined in the commotion, each chiming in with their own opinions, eager to rush out and settle the score immediately.

"Uncle Da Biao, tell us the place! We need to get going now, or that bastard will pack his bags and run away!"

"Uncle, hurry up and tell us! Don't let that guy get away, or we'll have worked for nothing!"

The four men pulling the mountain gun were panting heavily, urging impatiently, "Uncle Da Biao, hurry up and decide on a location! It'll take us half a day to adjust and aim this mountain gun, don't delay my practice firing it!"

Li Dabiao's head was throbbing from the noise of the group. He thought to himself, "This isn't revenge, this is razing the courtyard to the ground!" He just wanted to vent his anger on Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai, not to massacre the entire courtyard!

He shrank back, trying to smooth things over with a vague tone: "Well... it's nothing really, I just got shoved a few times and cursed at a couple of times. Did you really need to bring all these guys? This is... this is way too much!"

Li Erniu immediately shook his head, his tone resolute: "Uncle Dabiao, this is not an exaggeration at all! The rule in our Li Family Village has always been: we don't offend others unless they offend us, and if they do, we retaliate tenfold! Besides, you are the young clan leader. To bully you is to bully the entire Li Family Village, to bully the entire Li clan! Have you forgotten last month? The neighboring village slapped Gousheng over the water issue, and we fired two cannons at their farmland to make them remember this for life! Those who bully our clansmen will surely be punished! This rule cannot be broken. Just tell us where we're going!"

Li Dabiao was completely at a loss. He could only quickly advise, "The people who attacked me are in Beijing, not here! These heavy weapons are too conspicuous and heavy. Let's not bring them; just bring the men!"

His heart pounded with anxiety. If he really brought these guys into the city, forget about revenge; he'd probably be arrested as soon as he reached the city gates. Although his grandfather doted on him, if he really caused serious trouble, his father would skin him alive. Even if his grandfather gave his father a beating, it wouldn't be enough to cover up the mess!

Da Shan pondered for two seconds, then nodded in agreement: "Uncle Da Biao is right. There are too many people and too many eyes in the city; heavy weapons are indeed inconvenient. Gou Sheng! You take three men and take the heavy machine gun and mountain gun back to store them! The rest of you, assemble immediately! Destination: Beijing. Let's march at full speed!"

"Yes!" Gou Sheng immediately replied, leading the three men to turn around and pull the cannon and heavy machine gun.

The remaining able-bodied men instantly formed a neat line, shouting slogans as they rushed out of the village. Their movements were astonishingly fast, leaving Li Dabiao alone sitting on the oxcart, staring blankly at the empty village entrance.

After running quite a distance, the group suddenly remembered that the young clan leader hadn't caught up yet. Da Shan and Er Niu quickly turned back and ran to the oxcart, shouting urgently, "Brother Da Biao! Hurry! We'll miss the others if we're any later!"

Seeing that Li Dabiao was still standing motionless on the oxcart, the two men didn't waste any words. They grabbed Li Dabiao's arms on either side and rushed into the city, leaving the oxcart at the village entrance unattended.

Li Dabiao was being carried so far that his feet barely touched the ground, and all he could think about was howling in his heart: I'm doomed, I'm completely doomed now, these lunatics, these are all a bunch of lunatics.
