"The whip was whipped, and there was a crackling sound, hey, hey, hey, hey, he drove the big car out of the village, hey, hey, hey... As the convoy set off, there was a tune on the handlebars.

"I flicked the long whip, and there was a crackling sound, hey, hey, hey, hey, he drove the big car out of the village, hey, hey, hey...!" As the motorcade set off, someone on the handlebars hummed a tune.

"Car handle style" is an ancient description of the superb driving skills of a driver. The whips in their hands are like the steering wheel and accelerator of a car, which can well control the direction and speed of the livestock.

This is a technical job, which was a very popular industry in the past. The handlebar type has been dealing with the transportation industry all year round. He travels all over the country, has excellent skills, is popular and drinks hot food with the team, and can also make money to support his family. It is a career that ordinary people envy.

Old Fangtou is like a car handle. When the cattle whip is fired in his hand, no matter how violent the animal is, it must go where it is directed without daring to disobey.

He is not a local. He settled in a small mountain village near the commercial road many years ago. Because he has an eccentric temperament, is taciturn, and rarely gets close to others, no one knows his true origins.

However, he is very good at driving cars, and people respect him very much. Especially for tamed animals, whether it is a grumpy bull , a stubborn donkey, or a grumpy mules and horses, whenever you come in front of him and see the cattle whip in his hand, you will lose your temper. Pull the cart and load the goods honestly.

Old Fangtouer may not look good, but he has a handsome son named Fang Huairen, who is already fifteen years old. He has red lips, white teeth, and pretty features, which looks nothing like him.

The local elders all know that he came here alone many years ago and made a living by helping rich people or escort agencies drive big cars. Once, after helping the escort team return from driving a cart, people saw him returning with a baby.

For this reason, he also raised two dairy goats, raised the child with goat milk carefully, and asked the teacher to name the child Fang Huairen.

Although the father and son did not have much contact with people, when their children were young, they would either go out together to catch the big car, or stay at home and live their own lives peacefully, with less contact with people. But people who know them well know that both father and son are warm-hearted, kind-hearted and righteous.

For example, if someone in the neighborhood is in trouble, he will help if he can; or if he is driving a big car to the city to do errands, the neighbor will tell him what he needs, and when he comes back from work, he will help everyone buy it. When you come back, you never skimp; if you meet people in distress or fleeing famine, even if you give them a bowl of water, a mouthful of porridge, a steamed bun... they won't sit back and ignore it if they can help.

Old Fangtouer, a rough old man, suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated and failed to seize many opportunities to make a fortune. He could only help others drive big cars. Therefore, he hopes that his son can read and write, and even if he drives a big car in the future, he must be an educated driver.

Fortunately, his son Fang Huairen was not only diligent in studying, but also very talented. He was very conscientious in reading and literacy. Not only was he good at writing, but he was also able to write articles and poems at a young age.

Seeing that his training for his son was not in vain, Lao Fangtouer was happy every day and had more energy to drive the big car. He thought about making more money and giving his son a better life.

once drove away for a long journey and did not come back for more than a month. So on the way back, Lao Fangtou was very thoughtful. When he was almost home, he left the team and hurried on in the rain. As a result, he was caught in the autumn rain, his body suffered from wind and cold, and he felt anxious and anxious, so he fell ill when he got home.

There is no well-organized woman in the family, which makes the son Fang Huairen very busy. The teenage children were busy, rushing to find a doctor to prepare medicine for their father, and decoction the medicine for his father to take. He also had to cook and clean up the housework. He was so busy all day long that he had no time to go to school.

Looking at his sensible and well-behaved son, Old Fangtou secretly wiped away tears. After all, he is just a child. Taking care of himself like this every day makes him feel very uncomfortable as a father.

Old Fangtou'er's illness lasted a long time. For a man who was somehow very strong, it took nearly a month for him to fully recover from his illness.

Old Fangtou felt various emotions in his heart when he thought about going out to catch a big bus and leaving his underage son at home alone with no one to take care of him.As a man, it’s okay to suffer for yourself, but you can’t suffer for your children.

Therefore, after his serious illness, Lao Fangtou'er began to waver in his thoughts regarding the matchmaker's offer of marriage to him. I thought, if I meet a suitable woman, marry her and take care of the family, she can know the cold and the hot, and she can take care of the children.

This handlebar type job is a technical job. Not everyone can do it, but it can be considered a good profession. The old man Fangtou, who has been working for many years, has not only made the family's food and clothing relatively wealthy, but also saved a lot of money, which is enough to marry a wife.

He is just a big old man with an ordinary appearance. He is not young now. It is not easy to meet a suitable woman to marry in a short while.

The matchmaker came to the door that day and happily said that she had found a stepmother for Fang Huairen. When Fang Huairen heard that he had finally found a suitable woman for his father, thinking that it would be a good thing for his father to have a couple together when they were young, he invited the matchmaker into the house to drink sweet water with sugar.

and told the matchmaker: "Mom, if you think this matter can be successful, if it can be done, my father will probably be able to drive back the day after tomorrow, so he will go to your house to meet the woman to see if they are destined?"

The matchmaker saw Lao Fangtou'er's young man was very sensible and reasonable, so he gave him a brief introduction to the woman's basic situation.

This woman's name is Liu Cuilian. Her man died when she was young and she has been a widow for more than ten years. Now she has left her father-in-law and mother-in-law behind and has become an old woman in her thirties. Because she was childless and handsome, she was often teased by people with ulterior motives, so she wanted to find a wife, someone who could support each other and support each other throughout her life.

After listening to the matchmaker's brief introduction, Fang Huairen made the decision for his father and agreed on a specific date with the matchmaker. When his father came back, he asked his father to go to the matchmaker's house and meet the woman. If both of them had no objections, the marriage would be settled. That’s it.

When Old Fangtouer came back, he was very upset when he heard that his son had arranged a blind date for him. With the encouragement of his son, Old Fangtou took courage and went to the matchmaker's house with the cakes on the appointed day.

As for how the two met and chatted, Fang Huairen didn’t know it even if he didn’t go along. But judging from the happy expression on Old Fang's return, it's probably done.

The father and son quickly tidied up the house, bought some new daily utensils, new bedding and other daily necessities, and married Liu Cuilian into their home in a glorious manner.

When the villagers saw Old Man Fang marrying a pretty widow from a neighboring village who had been keeping the festival for more than ten years, they all said that Old Man Fang was very lucky and had a lot of love. Others had been pursuing the pretty widow for many years, and maybe her head was kicked by a donkey. He's a bad old man. Especially men, they always say sour grapes!

A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and Old Fangtou'er served meat in the bridal chamber with candles and candles. Holding his fair-skinned and beautiful new wife in his arms, he felt as if it was unreal, but looking at the beautiful girl in his arms, he felt like she was really sleeping with him.

Seeing Cuilian's shy expression, the old and strong old Fangtouer swore to Cuilian that he would treat her well all his life. The weak woman who had been widowed for many years was so moved by Old Fangtou's earthy love words that her eyes filled with tears. She threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. The two of them were so affectionate that they didn't rest until dawn.

After getting married, Lao Fangtouer fulfilled his original promise to Cuilian and loved Cuilian very much. Cuilian was diligent and thrifty in running the house, and was considerate of both father and son, taking care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation in an orderly manner. This allowed Old Fangtou to go out to catch the cart without any worries.

Fang Huairen called Cuilian's stepmother aunt, and Cuilian called him Huairen directly. The two got along like biological mother and son, and the family was happy.

However, people will always change unconsciously due to the influence of time and environment. Ever since Cuilian married Old Fangtouer, she has been like a dead tree blooming with new spring, and the old tree has sprouted new buds, glowing with a second spring. But this old man is a rough man, has no interest in her, and is not at home all year round, unable to satisfy Cuilian's empty heart.

Fang Huairen was sixteen years old this year, and he could see his aunt's complaints about her father and her turbulent heart.I couldn't tell my father clearly that I didn't want to study anymore. I wanted to drive the car for my father, shoulder the family responsibilities, and let my father, who had worked hard for most of his life, spend more time with my aunt, so that she could live a peaceful life.

After hearing that his son wanted to be a handlebar, Old Fangtouer respected his son's choice and prepared to train his son so that he could be independent so that he could settle down and establish a family in the future.

So one day, he called Fang Huairen to him and said to him: "Now that you are not young anymore, it is time to go out and see the world. I will teach you the secret of driving a bullwhip. From now on, this family will depend on you." "Fang Huairen looked at his aging father and nodded solemnly.

Old Fangtou's cattle whip is no ordinary thing. It has a resounding name - Soul-Suppressing Whip. The whip handle is made of Jianglong wood , and the whip rope is made of tiger tendon. Therefore, any domestic animal will be suppressed by its bloodline when it smells its scent, and it will naturally become easier to control it.

In addition, this whip also has a set of whipping techniques. If it is practiced well, it will hit a person's body. It may seem like a light blow, but it can actually damage the person's lungs and internal organs, and the person who is hit will die without any illness soon. The person who seemed to have been beaten so severely that his skin was torn apart and passed out was actually just a skin injury and was in a state of suspended animation.

Therefore, this whip is also known as the arbitrary whip, which means that it can follow the owner's will and whip it as much as it wants. It can be used to save people, or it can kill people invisible.

So, after Fang Huairen took over driving the bullwhip and became a driver, he became very good at driving. People were marveling at how awesome he was. They didn't see him learning from Old Fangtou, but his driving skills were top-notch. True to the old saying about heroes and heroes, they all praised him as a genius at driving cars.

What people don’t know is that in private, Old Fangtou also taught his son the secret technique of whipping the bottom of the soul, that is, the essence of arbitrary whipping, leaving him with the ability to settle down and live in peace. If he encounters a robber while driving, It can save your life in times of crisis.

So when nothing happened, Old Fangtouer often took Fang Huairen into the hidden place in the back mountain. He stayed there for ten days and a half. He said he went out for something, but in fact he taught Fang Huairen the unique skill of whipping at will in a deserted place.

If this stunt were to be seen by the world, it would be absolutely shocking.

I saw Old Fangtouer asking his son to make two dummies made of animal skins. One was filled with stones, the other was filled with fire paper and tied with straw on the outside. Then put the two animal skin dummies in normal clothes and start his demonstration performance.

I saw Old Fangtou holding the soul-suppressing whip and whipping the dummy filled with stones a few times lightly, and whipping the dummy filled with fire paper several times hard. Then he asked Fang Huairen to open the two dummies made of animal skins to see the changes in the fillings inside.

I saw that the inside of the animal skin dummy filled with stones was "lightly drawn" by Old Fangtou. The stones were all broken. Then he opened the animal skin dummy that was "heavily drawn" and filled with fire paper. The fire inside The paper is intact.

Seeing his son's surprised expression, Old Fangtouer solemnly told him that this was the power of the soul-suppressing whip. After he learned it, he could protect himself. When he went out to catch the big car, he, as a father, felt relieved. . After many days of study, Lao Fangtou taught his son all the essence of whipping techniques, including the soul-suppressing whip used to drive carts and the arbitrary whip used to beat people.

When Fang Huairen had achieved some success in his studies, Old Fangtou was relieved and solemnly taught him the cattle whip, and told him: "The secret of this soul-suppressing whip should not be passed on lightly, let alone tell others how to whip it at will. Keep it secret, otherwise you will get into trouble!"

Fang Huairen remembered his father's instructions, took over the cattle whip, officially inherited his father's profession, became a driver, and began to go out alone to drive cars to make money to support his family.

A few days after such peaceful days, Old Fangtouer suddenly passed away, which made Fang Huairen devastated and puzzled.

When he went back to watch the night, he suddenly remembered what Old Fangtou told him before leaving. Although he was full of doubts, he did as his father told him.

Fang Huairen sealed the coffin overnight while no one was around, and arranged for the coffin to be hastily buried the next day.Then he said goodbye to his aunt, saying that he had received a job as a driver and was going on a long trip, and left in a hurry.

Seeing these abnormal behaviors of her adopted son, Cuilian didn't think much about it. She only thought that Fang Huairen was ignorant and unfilial, but she felt happy and overjoyed.

It is said that after Fang Huairen drove out, he actually went to the back mountain where he had practiced before, but unexpectedly saw the old Fangtouer who had come back from the dead.

It turned out that on the night of the wake, Fang Huairen obeyed his father's previous words and put a large slab of stone into the coffin. He put his father, whom he thought was dead, in a stone trough for feeding animals in the yard in confusion, and then he was busy Buried with an empty coffin. I don't know when, but his father's body disappeared into the stone trough, which has always puzzled Fang Huairen.

Looking at his son who was full of doubts, Old Fangtouer did not say the reason why he faked his death. He just told his son to sneak home quietly at night and take a look, and then he would understand.

In the middle of the night, Fang Huairen sneaked back home quietly, but he didn't know that there was a figure following him.

Fang Huairen arrived home quietly and found that there were men's voices in his aunt's room, accompanied by lewd words.

Only Cuilian said: "The slave family gave you their wealth and life, and also helped you kill that old man. Don't let the slave family's true feelings be betrayed!"

A man's voice sounded, saying: " Good lady! Now that my senior brother is buried, when I get the whip, I will kill his son and then take you to sleep together."

Cuilian asked: "What's so magical about that cattle whip?" Is it worth all the trouble and effort for Mr. Wang? "What do you, a woman, know? That whip is used as a soul-soothing whip, but it is overkill. I have already mastered the unique skill of that whip. If you have an ego, use it." With the ability to whip at will, I have full control over the life of the person being whipped... We will enjoy endless glory and wealth," the man said proudly!

Although Shui Lian didn't understand what he heard, he also knew that the seemingly ordinary whip was not an ordinary thing, so he said: "Good husband, when that boy comes back, I will do what you said and get it first." Let’s talk about the bullwhip.” After

finished speaking, the sound of laughter and joy came from the room. Fang Huairen was very angry when he saw that his aunt was so greedy. He didn't understand why she was so depraved and cruel, so he wanted to ask her in person.

quietly took out the soul-suppressing whip from his waist, kicked open the door, and shouted loudly: "What a shameless couple!" The two people in the room were frightened by the sudden door breaking. .

Cuilian quickly covered her white body with the quilt, trembling all over, hiding under the quilt and not daring to look at anyone. The man came back to his senses and saw the young Fang Huairen. He quickly got up and dressed, pulled out a knife from the bedside, and shouted sternly: "Who are you? You dare to ruin my good deeds, you must be impatient!"

said Without waiting for Fang Huairen's reply, he slashed with his sword.

Fang Huairen, an expert and bold man, snorted coldly, swung his whip, and lightly slapped the man on the face. There was only a snap sound, and the man covered his face and fell limply to the ground.

Seeing the man fall to the ground, Fang Huairen stepped forward to tie him up and send him to the Yamen for punishment. When they approached the man, they saw the man suddenly stood up, swung out his sleeve arrows from his sleeves, and headed straight for Fang Huairen's door.

Fang Huairen was shocked and quickly dodged back. Suddenly, a black figure appeared in front of him and sucked the arrow from his sleeve. Old Fangtou quietly came in, closed the door, and said to the man: "Junior brother, you are alright!"

Old Fangtou, who followed, saw that his son was in danger, so he threw a magnet and attracted it. He missed his arrow and saved his son.

The man snorted coldly and said: "Today you give me the whip to take away, and I will treat you as my senior brother, otherwise, I will fight to the death!"

The old man laughed and said: "You are still stubborn about it, no wonder If the master doesn't pass this whip on to you, he's afraid that one day you will become a slave to the tiger and prey on the common people, and you will also harm yourself. Don't you understand?"

Seeing the man not speaking, the old Fangtou sighed and continued: " You can take Cuilian away today and live a good life, and I will forget the blame, otherwise, I will clean up the house for the master today!"

The man glanced at Cuilian, who was already dressed and shivering, and sneered: "Such a wasteful person. Women, it's just for fun."

When Cuilian heard what the man said, she realized that she had been deceived and had done something stupid, and she couldn't stop crying with regret.

The man didn't care. After saying this, he stood up and flew towards the old man with a broken knife in his hand. Old Fangtouer saw the man's figure with his teeth and claws splayed, and shouted loudly. He didn't have time to remind Fang Huairen, who was in a daze, and stood in front of him. Just hearing two puffs and puffs in succession, the man and the old Fangtou'er both fell down.

In order to save Fang Huairen, Old Fangtouer gave him a fatal blow. At the same time, he took out a broken knife from his arms and gave the man a fatal blow. Not long after, the two of them were killed one after another!

It turns out that the two brothers, Old Fangtouer, were both under the leadership of a policeman and served the imperial court. This old master Fangtouer whipped the prisoners, but he unknowingly controlled life and death. After being discovered by the corrupt officials, he used the master's whipping skills to make you live and die. He must die, carry out extortion, and plunder the people's wealth and anointing.

saw that his whipping ability was being used by corrupt officials, which went against the original intention of making the soul-soothing whip teacher. Old Fangtou'er's master got angry and ran away with his two apprentices.

Never thought that in order to get this whip and kill people to silence them, the corrupt official sent people to hunt down the three of them, master and disciple. To make matters worse, Lao Fangtou'er's junior brother rebelled halfway and suddenly severely wounded the master.

Master took Old Fangtou'er and fought hard to escape the internal and external pursuit, and passed the soul-suppressing whip to Old Fangtou'er. When Neighbor died, he repeatedly told him that from now on, there would only be soul-killing whips for driving livestock in the world, and there should be no arbitrary whips that harm the human world.

So for so many years, this soul-suppressing whip has been shown to others as a cattle whip in the hands of Old Fangtou. Outsiders do not know the story behind this whip, but it is very interesting.

After burying Brother Fangtouer overnight, he turned around to look in the direction of his home, only to find that the house was already on fire.

It turns out that when Cuilian saw what happened was exposed, she felt guilty and had no support. She felt that she could not live in this world, so she burned down the home that she loved and hated, and died in a sea of ​​​​fire.

Looking at the raging fire, Fang Huairen felt sad. He obeyed his father's last wish and endured his grief. He took advantage of the darkness to drive the ox cart in the back mountain. He turned around and went to his hometown in three steps. He did the cartwheel pose incognito and disappeared into the rivers and lakes.

From then on, the world only heard about the soul-suppressing whip's unique skill, which could control all animals, but there was no news about the arbitrary whip.
