Fengwuzhou is located in the border of the "Han" dynasty.

In the middle of nowhere, in a desolate place that no one knows, there is an ordinary town.

There's nothing special about the town, it's like all the towns in the world.

The common people live a prosperous and ordinary peasant life.

This town on the edge of the dynasty has only one speciality.

The town has no name, and the people who live in it only call it "town", with no other prefix.

The townspeople were accustomed to this, and they were not surprised at all.

After all, a small town is a small town, it is enough to have food and a house to live in, no one will worry about whether a town that has existed for an unknown amount of time has a name, and many people will never set foot out of the town to go elsewhere in their lives.

The whole town has a long street that runs through the whole town, spanning the whole town from east to west.

The people of the town call it Fugui Street, and on both sides of Fugui Street, there are fine and dense alleys and alleys, and ordinary residents of this town live.

Fugui Street is the main street in the town, and the whole street is paved with bluestone floors, which looks different from other laneways.

On both sides of Fugui Street, there are the four largest families in town, namely the Liu family, the Lei family, the Fan family and the Wang family.

Among them, the Liu family and the Lei family are jointly in charge of agricultural affairs in the town, and they own more than half of the land in the town.

The Van Pham family, on the other hand, was in charge of the town's markets and business dealings, and had deep pockets.

The Wang family is the most powerful of the four families, involved in all aspects, and manages all the affairs of the town.

Four families have been in charge of the town for generations.

It's the day.

The Liu family, the martial arts field.

As the sun began to rise, a group of young people from the Liu family were already practicing in the martial arts field under the frost of the early spring morning.

This group of teenagers, as young as four or five years old, as old as fifteen or sixteen years old, have to come to this martial arts training ground every day to practice martial arts courses, and this is also one of the regulations of the Liu family, which is intended to cultivate a group of new forces that can support the entire family.

At the edge of the martial arts field, there was a thin teenager, about fourteen years old, leaning on the wall, holding a slightly emerald branch in his mouth, crossing Erlang's legs, boredly looking at the sweaty standing pile practice of the teenagers in the martial arts field, a pair of eyes dripping, slowly looking at the martial arts demonstrated by the masters in the martial arts field.

"Lu Wu!" a thunderous roar came from outside the martial arts training arena.

The thin boy was shocked, and he got up in a puff of smoke, and he didn't care about patting the dust on his body, so he hurriedly carried a broom and began to clean in style.

A lean old man stood in the long pavilion not far away, looking at Lu Wu with an ugly face.

The old man was dressed in a brown robe, his face was thin, he had a few thin wisps of beard, and his face was furrowed.

This is the big housekeeper of the Liu family, Zhou Fu.

Zhou Fu has climbed all the way to the position of housekeeper since he was a child in this Liu family, and this position has been more than 40 years, and now, the old housekeeper is more than 60 years old.

Zhou Fu's face was full of anger, and his few thin beards trembled slightly in the morning breeze, and he shouted at Lu Wu's figure: "You kid is lazy here again!

Lu Wu shrank his head, his lowered face was full of helplessness, he stuck out his tongue playfully, and replied without raising his head: "Yes, Grandpa Zhou." ”

Zhou Fu glanced at him fiercely, but he also felt helpless.

Lu Wu is also a hard-working child, born an orphan without a father and mother.

Zhou Fu never married in his life, so he regarded Lu Wu as his own and brought him up with one hand.

But although Lu Wu is a smart child, he has a naughty personality since he was a child, and he can't do things at the margins, if he doesn't protect himself, and the Liu family has a pure family style, and he has always treated people with generosity, otherwise don't talk about Lu Wu, I'm afraid that he will have to stay on the street with a bedding roll.

"Lu Wu Lu Wu, it's really inaction. There was a low sneer, and the words were full of disdain.

"Huh?" A trace of coldness flashed in Zhou Fu's eyes, and he turned around and said indifferently: "Zhao Ming, don't be smart, I'm still the housekeeper of the Liu family!"

But I saw that the man was dressed in a wide dark green robe, and his whole body was fat, and he walked staggeringly, and his narrow eyes flashed with a sinister light from time to time.

This person is the celebrity next to Mrs. Qin of the Liu family, Zhao Ming, the bookkeeper of the Liu family.

"Oh, who should I be? It turned out to be Zhou Fu's housekeeper, and I was clumsy. A greasy smile instantly appeared on Zhao Ming's face, but his eyes were immersed in thick disdain.

Zhou Fu frowned in disgust, and was about to say something, but Yu Guang saw a figure coming not far away, and hurriedly slowed down: "Miss Yunli." ”

When Zhao Ming heard this, he hurriedly turned around and saluted, looking respectful.

The person who came was a fourteen-year-old girl, surrounded by these women and maids, like stars holding the moon.

The girl's face is beautiful, her complexion is fair, her white skin is like the first snow in the wax, and her chest is like a small lotus before revealing sharp corners, which have been slightly raised.

Her eyes are clear and bright, as if the sun and moon are implied in them, shining with smart brilliance, and a petite and cute nose is straight, dotted between the cherry lips and willow eyebrows.

The waist-length green silk was softly draped behind her, which set off her delicate and petite melon seed face more and more, revealing a little dusty temperament, like a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains in the extreme north, not contaminated with any fireworks in the world.

Although the woman's age is only twenty-seven, she has begun to have a charm between a smile and a smile.

Liu Yunli walked slowly, pursing her cherry-like pink lips, as if she was bored with the people surrounding her, but she was helpless.

When she got closer, she waved her slender jade hand casually, signaling Zhou Fu and Zhao Ming to be polite, and then her big glass bead-like eyes turned around, as if she was looking for something.

A group of young men in the martial arts field heard the movement here, and they hurriedly stopped the work at hand, ignoring the shouts of those masters, and ran to greet Liu Yunli one after another.

Seeing this, Liu Yunli frowned her thin eyebrows, and turned her head impatiently, her eyebrows full of displeasure.

The most noble lady in Liu Yunli's mansion is rumored to be a descendant of an old Lafayette, but it is a pity that her family is in the middle of the road and her parents are dead.

Lafayette remembered the friendship with the old man when he was young, and regarded Liu Yunli as his own, and loved him so much.

Several masters of the Liu family also favored her, making her appear to be transcendent in the entire Liu family.

Lu Wu, who was not far away, heard the noisy movement here, so he also looked this way.

He saw Liu Yunli surrounded in the crowd at a glance, and shook his head helplessly, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

This move happened to be seen by Liu Yunli through the crowd, and the girl's indifferent face was instantly soothed, like ice and snow melting.

The girl's eyes flowed, looking forward to the brilliance.

It seems that this early spring has lost its color.

Seeing this, Lu Wu grinned, and took steps to go over and say hello to Liu Yunli.

His peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhou Fu's gloomy eyes beside Liu Yunli.

He stopped suddenly, shrunk his neck, spread his hands at Liu Yunli, picked up the broom, and ran away.

Liu Yunli looked at the funny figure, stunned for a moment, and then chuckled lightly, for a while, the spring implied by the corners of the girl's mouth seemed to be the same as heaven and earth, making the sun and the moon lose their luster

Everyone saw Liu Yunli's changes, followed her gaze, and saw Lu Wu's gray cloth dress, leaving in embarrassment, and they all felt incredible, and their eyes showed deep jealousy.

"It's just a subordinate, how could Miss Yunli care so much. Someone muttered, and his words were full of resentment.

"It's not that I saved Miss once, if it were me, I would have saved Miss. "I am also full of regret and jealousy, and feel that the sky is not as good as people want.

Listening to the gossip around him, Zhou Fu sighed helplessly, but suddenly heard Zhao Ming beside him snort coldly, and his heart shook.

Hearing those voices, Liu Yunli's smile disappeared, her eyebrows glanced lightly, her pink lips opened slightly, and she wanted to say something-

"Why are you all gathered here to practice?" An elegant and clear voice came from outside the crowd, and the crowd unconsciously gave way.

I saw a young man in a coarse cloth shirt, with a gentle smile on his face, full of bookish air, smiling.

"Great young master. The crowd around hurriedly bowed and saluted.

The person who came was Liu Shuye, the eldest young master of the Liu family.

Liu Shuye was born to the late second lady of Liufu, and was one of the young talents in the town, not only good at poetry and songs, but also not lagging behind in practice, only seventeen years old, he was already a cultivator who had stepped into the realm of "mountain top".

"Big brother. Liu Yunli bowed obediently and saluted, and ran over affectionately to hold Liu Shuye's arm, and her eyes narrowed into a pair of good-looking crescents.

Liu Shuye touched Liu Yunli's head dotingly, then looked at the people around him, frowned, and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go to practice soon? The clan is approaching, and you don't want the monthly money every month?"

Hearing this, a group of teenagers hung their heads helplessly, and bowed to Liu Shuye one after another, and then scattered as birds and beasts.

Seeing this, Zhou Fu and Zhao Ming also bowed and asked to leave.

Liu Shuye returned the salute, watched everyone disperse, waved his hand to signal that the ladies and maids around him did not need to follow, and then turned to look at his sister and gently gave her a burst: "What's the matter?

Liu Yunli rubbed her red forehead, her eyes were full of tears, and she muttered aggrievedly: "No, I'm here to see my eldest brother." ”

Liu Shuye looked at her little girl-like sister with a smile, and said with a smile and a smile: "As soon as I came, I looked for traces of that guy everywhere, and when my brother couldn't see it." That kid is really, wandering around all day, I teach him to practice, he just blindly avoids me, but he secretly practices behind his back. I will go to my husband's place, and he will sit obediently on one side. ”

Speaking of Mr., Liu Shuye's words were full of respect, and he also saluted the void.

"Hmph," Liu Yunli snorted angrily, pouting and saying, "It's not like everyone like you, big brother, who doesn't sleep when you practice, and if you want me, I'll slip away." ”

Liu Shuye's face was calm, looking at his little sister with her elbow turned out, and smiled gently: "You are the pearl of the entire Liu family, and you are not afraid of gossip about others like Lu Wu?"

Liu Yunli held her head high and looked at Liu Shuye unconvinced: "Then he is my friend!"

"Okay, okay," Liu Shuye rubbed his sister's head and looked at her seriously: "But this will also bring a lot of trouble to Lu Wu, didn't you see the eyes of those little guys looking at him today? I think a few of them may be going to find fault again." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunli waved her fist angrily, frowning tightly: "If anyone dares, I will let him see and understand, the Liu family will be reasonable, not only the three elder brothers!"

Liu Shuye was stunned, looked at the little girl in front of her helplessly, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

How did he not know that this seemingly noble little girl was the one with the most cultivation talent in the entire family, but this girl was regarded as the pearl of the palm by Lafayette, and she had never been too lazy to practice, but even so, this girl's progress in martial arts cultivation should not be underestimated.

"Let him solve the man's affairs by himself," Liu Shuye pondered for a long time, and said slowly, "You can't let him stand behind you all the time and be protected by you." ”

Liu Yunli let out an "oh", immediately shook Liu Shuye's arm, rubbed his brother with his arm like a coquette, and asked affectionately: "Big brother, the clan is almost here, will you still participate this year?"

Liu Shuye shook his head lightly and looked at the sky in the distance: "I have stepped on the second floor of the mountain, and I can faintly see the shadow of the third floor, my father said that I only need to meditate and practice, and prepare to participate in the competition of the four major families in the town in half a year, after all, it is a grand event related to our family industry." ”

"Then brother remember to come and see Xiao Li'er's competition!" Liu Yunli tilted her head, looking at Liu Shuye with hope, and suddenly frowned slightly: "Big brother, remember to let Lu Wu come too, after all, he is still your scholar in name, so he only listens to you!"

Liu Shuye smiled and nodded, gently rubbing Liu Yunli's head, but secretly had some thoughts in his heart.

......

As the sky sank, Lu Wu strode into a courtyard, and a small plaque was hung on the door of the courtyard, which read, "Living in peace".

This is the abode of the lower people.

The other ordinary servants in the clan were all bunks, and only he and Zhou Fu lived in the middle suite, each of them had a hut.

Lu Wu entered the door, the room was a little dim, he put down the broom, lit the candle, and then picked up the tea on the table and drank it "gurgling", gasping for breath, thinking about Liu Yunli's demeanor during the day, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Ahem. There was a dry cough behind him, Lu Wu looked stunned, turned around, looked at Zhou Fu, raised the teapot in his hand and was about to reach tea: "Grandpa, why don't you drink some too?"

"Little bunny. Zhou Fu looked at Lu Wu's innocent appearance, and was angry for a while, turned around and picked up the burning stick on the ground and was about to greet Lu Wu.

Lu Wu seemed to be prepared, and hurriedly put down the teapot in his hand, like a nimble monkey, and fled to the side.

"Grandpa, what's the matter, why are you hitting me?" Lu Wu shouted anxiously while dodging, looking flustered.

"What do you say?" Zhou Fuqi's beard trembled, and the guy in his hand didn't stop anything, chasing Lu Wu, "If you're lazy and don't work, don't talk about it, how do I usually tell you? You are just a subordinate, and you can't compare with those clan disciples, what is Miss Yunli's identity, what is your identity? What do you let others think of you? How do you think of the old man?"

After saying a lot, coupled with Lu Wu's flexible dodge, the old man stopped, leaned over, coughed violently a few times, and was out of breath.

Lu Wu hurriedly ran over and held the old man's arm.

The old man is an old man in Liufu, and now that he is getting older, his body is getting weaker and weaker.

Lu Wu helped the old man sit at the table, poured a cup of tea for the old man, and said aggrievedly: "Didn't I avoid Miss today." ”

"Hey," Zhou Fu took a sip of the cup, sighed, and looked at the child in front of him, his eyes full of pity.

"But so many people are watching, Zhao Ming has also seen it, and he has to go and sue Mrs. Qin, and those children today have their own thoughts, so they are afraid of ......"

Lu Shen interrupted Zhou Fu and said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, I'll fight one by one, have I beaten fewer people over the years?"

"Be careful!" Zhou Fu suddenly shouted sternly.

He stared at Lu Shen with a pair of cloudy old eyes, and he couldn't say serious: "Those were all fights between subordinates before, but now that Zhao Ming has repeatedly proposed to replace me as the housekeeper of Liufu, not to mention that Zhao Ming is a cronie of Mrs. Qin, and I am old, I can protect you before, but now, I don't know how long I can stay here......

Hearing this, Lu Wu was silent for a moment.

He stretched out his hand and slowly grabbed the old man's dry palm, and the old man looked at the young man in astonishment, only to find that the young man's eyes were so bright in the dim room at the moment.

"Grandpa," Lu Wu smiled, his expression was calm, and instead of the frolicking of the past, it made Zhou Fu feel a little strange.

"Don't worry, with me, you will still be the big housekeeper of the Liu family! Mr. didn't also teach us, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, then Zhao Ming wants to replace his grandfather's position, I have my own way to deal with it." But if Zhao Ming doesn't have long eyes and is aggressive and insists on bullying grandpa, everything will be left to me. ”

Zhou Fu was stunned by these words, but looking at Lu Wu's unusually seriousness, he didn't feel like he was joking, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The room was quiet, and the old man suddenly seemed to come back to his senses, looking at the child in front of him with a complicated face.

It seems that at this moment, this child has grown up a lot, and he is no longer the poor child who was lonely and helpless.

But he still said with a solemn face: "I'm talking nonsense again, be careful of being heard and stabbed into the mansion, who is Zhao Ming? He relies on Mrs. Qin, and has almost single-handedly covered the sky in the Liu family over the years, and besides, they are all monks who practice Xuanqi, and it is not like killing a chicken to pinch you and me? We can't fight these people, and we can't paddle this troubled water." It's really not good, we took the initiative to leave here, your grandfather and I still have some savings, enough for you to buy an acre of fertile land to marry a wife and have children. ”

Hearing this, a trace of warmth flowed through Lu Wu's heart.

He winked mischievously at the old man, and said mysteriously, "Grandpa doesn't have to care about this, what if I'm also a monk?"

The old man was completely stunned this time, and it seemed that Lu Wu's words were difficult to understand.

He looked at Lu Wu in a daze, and said in a difficult voice: "You, you...... How did you...... First, the subordinates don't have the support of the exercises, and secondly, they don't have the guidance of the family's martial artists, so the methods you get there can enter the path of cultivators?"

Lu Wu looked at the old man with a bright smile: "Over the years, it's really boring, besides, I'm still the eldest young master's scholar, follow the eldest young master, just watch it." ”

When the old man heard this, he instantly opened his mouth and stammered: "You secretly learned the exercises of the eldest young master?"

Lu Wu's eyes rolled and he nodded slowly.

Zhou Fu looked at the young man in front of him blankly, and his heart was filled with endless horror.

What kind of identity is Liu Shuye? That's the top young talent in the town, and the martial arts he practices are all the best, even if ordinary people get their hands on it, they don't have that kind of talent to practice, Lu Wu actually said that he would see it himself?

Outside the window, the night was deep, and the house was quiet, and there was the slightest crackling sound of candles.

"Huh?" Lu Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, looking out the window, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a hint of coldness, "This is coming?"

The old man didn't know what Lu Wu was talking about, but when he saw Lu Wu get up and walk towards the door, he understood a little for a while, and suddenly panicked:

"What are you going to do? This is in the house, they don't dare to mess around. I'll just go out and have a look—"

A weak arm blocked Zhou Fu's way, and Zhou Fu looked at the thin young man in confusion, looking puzzled.

Lu Wu stuck out his tongue at the old man with his head sideways, his expression was full of cunning: "Grandpa, it's just a battle of will between some peers, it's not yet time for you to come forward, besides, I'm very well-behaved." ”

With that, the young man smiled slightly, pushed the door and walked out, then turned around, said a word to the old man, and closed the door.

Zhou Fu was the only one left in the house, looking at the direction of the door, stunned.

The dim candlelight illuminated the old man's slightly rickety figure, and there was silence in the room, except for the slight crackling sound of the candle flame, and the words that the young man said before leaving:

"I have always respected men, but when they do not respect me, I will teach them how to respect me!"
