Chapter 1039: The Gathering Must Be Undecided, Looking Back Suddenly (II)
"You say, what is this, what is it......"
The autumn wind caressed, and the outside of the inn was cloudy, and the silver ingots on the square table were dazzling. In the sigh of Steward Wu, Fan Heng and the others sitting here had a huge anger.
They were born in Jiangnan, their family backgrounds are not bad, they used to read poetry and books, and after the Jurchens went south, although the world was stable, some things only happened in the most extreme places after all. On the other hand, the Jurchens are barbaric and easy to kill, and it is understandable that the people are not living in the places where the soldiers go, including that they went to the southwest this time, and they are also mentally prepared to see some extreme conditions, who knows that such a thing did not happen in the southwest, and it was not seen in Dai Mengwei's territory.
Their mood has been up and down for half a day, and at this moment, the Wu steward put out the silver two, and the five young men who followed him behind were lined up, Fan Heng and the others had a fire in their hearts, but no one had come forward to speak for a while.
Steward Wu looked at everyone, then pushed away the stool and stood up.
"That's how you do that?"
“…… Well? ”
This steward Wu was about to turn around, but he heard an unconvinced voice from behind several scholars, and it was a young man who was originally sitting a little far away. I only heard the young man say word by word:
"Today is the people of your Li family, bullying men and women, Xiuniang sister father and daughter...... She was almost ruined by you beating her like that. They...... I didn't provoke you......"
Steward Wu's eyes were gloomy, and he fixed his eyes on the young man.
"The two of you quarreled, the woman wanted to smash the man's yard, we just went over and rescued Sister Xiuniang who didn't cause trouble. Your uncle wants to remember us for this kind of thing? Is he a headhunter in Tongshan County or a bandit in the mountains? ”
"Huh?"
Steward Wu's eyes were fierce, but the other party didn't seem to see it.
"The person who bullies men and women, blames the victim for resisting? We didn't say anything in the past, saying they wanted to remember us? The two of you quarreled, Sister Xiuniang was almost killed, do you think they are an eyesore? If we say two words about the king's law, it will become us talking nonsense? You don't have a word of apology? The Li family in Tongshan County? Is that what you do? ”
The young man got up and asked, word by word? Then Steward Wu was so angry that he laughed? He bared his teeth and looked at the scholars. One of the scholars was afraid that everyone here would commit murder? got up and stopped the young man who seemed to be angry, and said, "Xiaolong......"
Everyone came all the way? The young man in front of him is a doctor? He has always been kind-tempered, but after getting along for a long time, he knows that he likes martial arts and is keen to inquire about the affairs of the rivers and lakes? I also want to go to Jiangning to see the next hero conference. Certainly not surprising that such a temperament is not surprising? What young man doesn't have a bit of sharpness in his heart? But at this moment, the gentleman is standing on a dangerous wall, and if he is allowed to play by the young man, it is obvious that there will be no good results on his side.
"Who are you with this child?" That Steward Wu looked around at everyone, "It seems?" I still haven't made it clear? It's good. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and took a long knife from the hand of the young man behind him? Even the knife with the sheath pressed on the table? Stretched out his hand and nodded: "Choose." He looked at Fan Heng and the others? Look at the teenager a little further away? Baring his teeth, "Kid, pick one." ”
The young man on the other side looked at him, frowned slightly, tilted his head, and moved his lips as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say it for a while. Chen Junsheng, who was the most insightful among the scholars, had already gone over to protect him behind him: "Okay, Xiaolong, don't think about this. ”
"I ......"
Ning Ji's tone was complicated, but finally, he didn't continue to speak.
"Xiaolong is a young man who is angry, but his words are not unreasonable." Fan Heng got up on the side of the table and said slowly, "The Li family in Tongshan County is a high-ranking family, not a bandit in the mountains, and running a family, so it is natural to be polite, righteous and honest, and your affairs today are unreasonable." In the future, when others talk about the Li family, they will also say that you are unreasonable, since ancient times, no one's family business is so big. ”
His words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he was also measured, which can be said to be quite decent. Steward Wu on the other side smiled: "Speaking of which, are you reminding me not to let you go?" ”
Fan Heng's lips moved, but he couldn't answer.
"Etiquette, righteousness, and shame." Steward Wu sneered, "Praise you a few words, and you won't know who you are." Relying on courtesy, righteousness and shame, what did you do with the golden dog? Relying on courtesy, righteousness and shame, how did our county town be burned down? Scholar...... Usually you are harsh on taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and when you are fighting, you kneel faster than anyone else, and the one in the southwest says that he wants to destroy your Confucianism, do you have a kind of work with him? When the golden dog called, who evacuated the villagers to the mountains, it was me who followed our Li Ye to do! ”
"I've read a few broken books and talked about some big truths that don't make sense, you guys are a piece of. Today, let's make it clear here, you Wu Ye and I, who usually look down on you who read broken books, know that you are crooked, and you are useless when doing things. Want to be reasonable, huh? I see that you have all run outside, today's incident, our aunt has already remembered you, and it is clear that he wants to get you, my young lady asked you to get out, is it bullying you? I don't know what to do...... That's the kindness of our young lady! ”
"Our young lady is kind-hearted, Wu Ye and I are not so kind-hearted, I have provoked Lao Tzu crookedly, see you walk out of the boundary of the mountains! I know that you are not convinced, don't be unconvinced, I tell you these brainless people, times have changed. Our family Li Ye said, only to govern the world to read the sage book, in the troubled times only to see knives and guns, now the emperor is gone, the world is divided, you want to reason - this is the reason! ”
His voice was loud, accounting for the "truth", and it became more and more sonorous. Having said that, he lifted the hem of the cheongsan and lifted his toes, and he had already picked up the bench in front of him. Then his body whirled and whirled, only to hear a loud bang, and the hard bench was broken into two by him turning and swinging his legs, and the broken stool flew out, breaking some bottles and cans in the store.
Fan Heng, who was at the forefront, was so frightened that he sat down on the stool.
Wu Guan was wearing a long shirt beforehand, and everyone thought that he was also a scholar, and when he swept it out, the effect was really beautiful, and he knew that he was also a martial arts master with unique skills. Seeing that the faces of the scholars in the lobby were pale, he himself was quite proud, swept his sleeves, and slowly put down his long legs.
"If you want to be reasonable, there is reason here......" he said slowly, "There are several inns in Tongshan County, which are related to my Li family, and the Li family said that if you don't let you live, you won't be able to live tonight...... Say all the good things, you can listen to them or not. After tonight, there will be no way tomorrow. ”
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and left the inn with everyone, and after going out, he vaguely heard a young compliment: "Master Wu's kick is really powerful." ”
"Amazing ......"
"Hey, hey, where, where......"
……
Seeing the amazing effect of that kick, all the scholars in the inn were quiet for a while. Only Ning Ji looked at the situation where the other party was satisfied and walked away after the stool was kicked and broken, and he drooped his shoulders and sighed long.
The shopkeeper who was hiding inside came out to take a look at the situation at this time, and when he saw that things in the lobby were smashed, he was also a little embarrassed, and looked around at everyone: "If you can't afford to provoke, let's go." If you gentlemen want to live again, the small shop will not dare to take it in. He sighed, shook his head, and went back.
"What should I do?" One of them opened his mouth.
Lu Wenke said in a hoarse voice: "Is there really no royal law here!" ”
"You've seen it."
"Perhaps...... Isn't that the case on the county master's side? Lu Wenke said, "Even if it ...... No matter how powerful his Li family is, how can a person who is an official let a martial artist have the final say here? We haven't tried it after all......"
He seemed to have thought about something clearly, and when he said something unwilling, Chen Junsheng walked over and patted him on the shoulder and sighed.
"I ...... I still think it......" Lu Wenke's red eyes looked at everyone, looking at the eldest Fan Heng, as if he wanted to get some support or recognition. Before he could finish speaking, there was movement at the door leading to the backyard, and the woman's weak voice rang out.
"Everyone, ......" Everyone looked back, but saw that the person who appeared by the door was Wang Xiuniang, who had been injured before, her face was patched at this time, tears flowed out of her eyes, and she came over with the door frame: "Everyone...... Ladies and gentlemen, let's ...... Let's go......"
"Xiuniang, you are ......"
Before Fan Heng's words fell, Wang Xiuniang entered the door and knelt down there: "I'll wait for the father and daughter...... Along the way, thanks to the care of the gentlemen, the same is true, I really don't dare to drag down the gentlemen...... she was about to kowtow, Ning Ji had already gone over to hug her, only to hear her cry: "Xiuniang has been ...... since she was a child Walking the rivers and lakes with my father, I originally knew that the strong dragon would not suppress the head snake...... This Tongshan Li family is very powerful, even if you gentlemen have the heart to help Xiuniang, you really shouldn't have to fight him at this time......"
"Xiuniang wants to get out of here...... Gentlemen, let's go...... I'm afraid ......"
She was held by Ning Ji, her words choked, tears welling up in her eyes, and she pleaded with everyone in the hall like that. Her gaze looked like she was looking at everyone, but more of it fell on Lu Wenke. Lu Wenke sat in the distance, his eyes were red, but at this time, he couldn't say a word.
Someone's fist slammed into the pillar to show his heartache. Some sighed, others were silent. Lu Wenke said several times: "Maybe it's useful to sue the official...... but he didn't finish his words in the end.
It's getting overcast.
Everyone packed their luggage, hired a carriage, dragged Wang Jiang and Wang Xiuniang's father and daughter, and left the inn before evening and went out of the city gate.
Along the way, no one said much. They all knew in their hearts that their group had fled from here in disgrace, the situation was stronger than people, and there was no problem in escaping, but there was still some humiliation. And before escaping, even Wang Xiuniang used "I'm afraid" to give everyone an excuse to push the boat along the water.
Ning Ji didn't talk much along the way, and among all of them, his expression was the calmest, and he was the most natural when he packed his luggage. Everyone thought that a child of his age would hold his anger in his heart, but in this case, he didn't know how to enlighten him, and in the end, Fan Heng said half a sentence to him on the road: "Scholars have the use of scholars, and there is a use of learning martial arts...... It's just the way of the world...... Alas......"
Ning Ji nodded: "Well, I know." ”
Fan Heng didn't know that he was telling the truth, but he couldn't say more truth to enlighten this little child.
When it was nightfall, they stayed in a small market about ten miles outside Tongshan County, and had a simple dinner, and it was not early. Ning Ji checked the body of Wang Jiang, who was still unconscious, and he didn't have any more ways to see if the middle-aged man could get better, and when he looked at Wang Xiuniang's injury, Wang Xiuniang just washed her face with tears in the room.
Her relationship with Lu Wenke was not determined, and Lu Wenke looked resentful along the way, but he didn't take the initiative to care about her. In fact, she knew in her heart that this marriage that was originally her high climb was probably no longer there. Lu Wenke is in the prime of his youth, and his mouth is full of "promising", but in a small place like Tongshan, he has suffered great humiliation after all, even if he is still willing to marry her, every time he sees her in the future, he will inevitably remember today's powerlessness - this is the most unbearable humiliation for men.
“…… If Uncle Wang wakes up tomorrow morning, it will be a good thing, but he is so seriously injured that he will not be able to travel for the next few days, so I have prepared a few prescriptions here...... The two recipes here are for Uncle Wang's long-term recuperation of the body, he has a problem with the hard qigong he practiced, and his body will hurt everywhere when he is old, these two recipes can help him......"
"Thank you, Xiaolong."
[fo]"Hmm. ”
Ning Ji nodded and accepted her thanks.
After leaving the room, Lu Wenke, who was red-eyed, came over to ask him about Wang Xiuniang's physical condition, and Ning Ji roughly replied, he felt that dog men and women still cared about each other. His mind was no longer here.
It was Ning Ji's fifteenth birthday, and everyone present didn't know about it. All kinds of things that happened before made everyone worried, everyone stayed up in a big room for a long time before falling asleep one after another, until the early hours of the morning, when Fan Heng got up and went to the thatched room, he found that there was no one missing in the room, he lit the oil lamp, and looked for it with everyone: "Where is Xiaolong?" ”
At this time, the little doctor Long Aotian was gone.
Then he also understood: "A young man like him is probably ...... Don't you want to go with us anymore......"
**************
Ning Ji left the inn and walked towards Tongshan County with his bags on his back, the time was night, but for him, it was not much different from the daytime, and walking was similar to touring the mountains and rivers.
Walking with these scholars all the way will eventually be separated. It's also good, especially on his birthday, which he finds interesting.
Unlike what Fan Heng and the others imagined, he didn't feel that it was a humiliating decision to leave Tongshan County. When a scholar encounters a hooligan, of course, he has to walk away first, and then call someone to come back to the field, so that the person who practices martial arts can have another solution, which is called a specific case analysis. The training of the Huaxia Army pays attention to blood bravery, but it is also the most taboo to do blind work without a head or brain.
It is very reasonable to send these people away, and then go back by yourself and talk to that Steward Wu for a good time.
The fool kicked off a stool without pulling a few bits......
He was almost shocked by the other party's skill......
If a group of comrades-in-arms of the Huaxia Army were there, they might look at him dumbfounded and applaud, and then praise him for being amazing......
It's time to go back and praise him......
With this in mind, he was not far from the small bazaar when he met several night walkers......
