Chapter 10: Wu Ren's Decision
Back in his dilapidated house, Wu Ming did not open the Wu family's martial arts again, but directly lay down on the bed, because he was too tired today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It consumed a lot of vitality just after breaking through the first vein, and then he fought with Wu Zhuang, and it consumed some more, so he had already fallen into a deep sleep soon after lying down.
His ears don't hear what is going on outside the window, because he sleeps more deadly.
Unlike Wu Ming's peaceful sleep, Wu Ren's family was busy because Wu Zhuang was injured.
Wu Ren had just sent the village doctor away, and he returned to Wu Zhuang's bedside, where Wu Ruhua was holding a middle-aged woman, Wu Zhuang's mother, Liu.
She asked, "Sir, what does the doctor say?"
"Don't worry, madam, the doctor said that there is no problem, as long as you take care of it for five or six days, there should be no problem. ”
Wu Ren asked Ruhua on the side, "Do you know when Wu Ming broke through?"
Ruhua shook her head awkwardly: "Uncle Ren, I really don't know." ”
"Ruhua, I know the affection between you and Zhuang'er, don't worry, Zhuang'er is fine, you can go back first. ”
Wu Ruhua said goodbye to Wu Zhuang who was lying on the bed, and left with some reluctance.
Wu Ren sat on the bed and asked, "Zhuang'er, that Wu Ming really didn't cheat today?"
"It's true, I didn't expect him to hide his strength all the time, today I tried my best, I really can't beat him. Wu Zhuang had a look of frustration on his face.
Wu Ren said with relief: "Zhuang'er, don't think about it too much, you don't know his strength today, so you are careless, you have a good rest, and then you can get your face back when you are injured." ”
Wu Zhuang smiled slightly: "Father don't worry, although I lost today, I won Huamei, and I have done my best today, and I have not lost the dignity of a martial artist." ”
Wu Ren also smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and said with relief: "You can rest well." ”
Watching his parents leave, Wu Zhuang actually didn't feel too much melancholy because he lost today, but was very happy because he could marry Ruhua.
Wu Ren came to the living room of the house with a heavy heart, and at this time there was already a man waiting in the living room, this person was the captain of the village guard, his name was Wu Feiyong.
When he saw Wu Ren coming, Wu Feiyong asked after getting up and saluting, "Is Xiao Zhuang's injury okay?"
"It's not a big deal. Wu Ren motioned for him to sit down and speak.
"Uncle, why did you say that this Wu Ming suddenly became so powerful?"
Wu Ren asked, "Feiyong, what do you think about this matter?"
"In fact, since Wu Ming was injured by a flying stone outside the sky, I already felt that something was wrong. It's just that I thought it was because I was too careful, and I didn't think much about it. ”
"What do you find wrong with Wu Ming?"
"Uncle, think about it carefully, if Wu Ming really didn't even quench his body, how could he survive after being hit so hard?"
Wu Ren felt that what he said was reasonable, so he asked, "Then why did he choose this time to show his strength?"
"Uncle, I think it should be related to the county exam. ”
"The old man also thinks that this should be the case, Feiyong, do you think Wu Fan is planning this matter behind his back?"
"Uncle, that's why I'm in such a hurry. ”
"Do you think Wu Fan planned this thing?"
"Of course, uncle, you said that if he, Wu Fan, married his daughter to Xiao Zhuang, and his nephew Wu Ming got the only chance in the village to participate in the county test at the same time, plus he was already the captain of the hunting team, how would his reputation compare with you, uncle?"
A little sweat appeared on Wu Ren's forehead: "Feiyong, do you mean that he wants the position of my village chief?"
"Isn't it?"
Wu Ren said with a little panic in his expression: "Feiyong, what do you say?"
"Uncle, have you forgotten that ten days later is the annual autumn hunt?"
"What do you mean?"
Wu Feiyong gritted his teeth and said directly: "I think if I can create some accidents in the autumn hunting, then Xiao Zhuang can still get the quota to participate in the county examination, if Xiao Zhuang can qualify for the national examination in the future, then the glory of the ancestors is just around the corner!"
The so-called autumn hunting was set by Emperor Yang Jian, who stipulated that on the first day of September every year, all places in the imperial court should allow young people over the age of fifteen and under twenty to enter the wild forest to hunt, and cultivate their blood through fighting with foreign beasts.
Different counties will make different arrangements for autumn hunting, and they will be allowed to enter the corresponding area according to the level of participants. Autumn hunting can be described as a major event in the country, even if Dongyang County is located in the southern border of the imperial dynasty, it also attaches great importance to autumn hunting.
It was everyone's attention that made Wu Ren's suggestion to Wu Feiyong have to be carefully considered.
Wu Feiyong saw that Wu Ren was silent, and he said again: "Uncle, are you not willing to take a risk in order for Xiao Zhuang to glorify his ancestors in the future?"
Wu Ren stood up, paced back and forth in the living room, walked for a while, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "For the sake of Zhuang'er, I will fight." ”
"Uncle, for the sake of Xiaozhuang, I also fight. ”
The two smiled at each other and began to plan how to act.
In the blink of an eye, it was already moonlight, and Wu Ming woke up helplessly because of the gurgling of his stomach. He got up and lit the small lamp, muttering in his heart, "Why hasn't Sister Xiaofang delivered food yet!"
He walked out of the house and waited for a while, and when he saw that Cai Xiaofang still didn't appear, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he decided to go to Xiaofang's house to have a look.
Fortunately, the village is not big, and Wu Ming easily inquired about Cai Xiaofang's residence. He came to the east of the village and found Cai Xiaofang's home.
Wu Ming looked at the house in front of him, which was more dilapidated than the house he lived in, and he suddenly understood why Cai Xiaofang always had a faint sadness in his words.
Wu Ming approached the house, Cai Xiaofang was drying clothes in front of the house, she was a little surprised when she saw Wu Ming appear, and blurted out and asked, "Xiaoming, why are you here?"
Wu Ming said with a smile: "Sister Xiaofang, I was hungry, so I came out to look for you." ”
Cai Xiaofang said in a low voice: "Xiaoming, the village elder asked me not to send you food." ”
"Sister Xiaofang, if the village chief asks you not to send it, you won't send it?"
Cai Xiaofang's voice became more and more low, and she said: "Xiaoming, you have also seen that my family is really poor, and I don't have anything to eat, where is there any extra food to send to you." ”
Wu Ming heard a strong sense of helplessness from this sentence, he had also been poor in his previous life, so he understood very well what it was that the poor were powerless, and he naturally understood the helplessness in Xiaofang's tone.
So he was relieved: "Sister Xiaofang, don't worry, everything will be fine." ”
When Wu Ming turned around and wanted to leave, Cai Xiaofang asked, "I heard that you injured Young Master Wu in the evening?"
Wu Ming looked at Cai Xiaofang's eyes, and then nodded seriously.
Cai Xiaofang avoided Wu Ming's gaze, and after a moment of confusion, she still spoke: "Xiao Ming, I'm afraid of offending the village chief." ”
In fact, Wu Ming already knew what she was going to say from her expression, and the reason why she stared was because she hoped that she wouldn't say what she wanted to say.
Wu Ming smiled with disappointment and said, "Don't worry, I understand what you mean." ”
Leaving the house that was more dilapidated than his own home, Wu Ming sighed in his heart: "It seems that no matter where you go, power is a good thing." ”
