0129, also surnamed Zheng?
Li Mu rode a horse and stood at the mouth of the alley of Pig Alley, thinking in his heart.
He is an impostor, not Li Mu on this planet, the reason why he came to greet Li Mu's biological mother is to give an explanation to the replaced Li Mu, whether he is dead or alive, from the perspective of his life, he can also be regarded as a talented filial son, and secondly, because of what happened to Li's mother, it is indeed embarrassing and sympathetic, an old man who has been disappointed by fate, in the old age of life, should be blessed.
Li Mu on the earth has never enjoyed the love of his parents, so it can be said that this piece is the reverse scale of his heart.
It's just that no matter how similar the appearance is, after all, it is not the same person, in case Mother Li identifies it on the spot, it will be very embarrassing.
Li Mu is not afraid of being exposed.
His current strength is so big in the world that he can get it, even if he doesn't make the Taibai County Order, he can roar between the mountains and rivers.
What he was worried about was that once Li's mother recognized him as an imposter and asked about the whereabouts of her real son, how would she answer? If he said it bluntly, wouldn't it cut off her last hope, how sad and desperate it would be, but it would go against his original intention of picking up Li's mother.
Pig Lane is a small alley in the slums, the ground is muddy, the walls are low, and there is a faint smell in the air, which is a strange smell of urine mixed with silt, which is disgusting.
This kind of smell, Mother Li smelled it in the slaughterhouse of the Earth Burning Lamp Temple Village.
There are not many people in the alley, there are stray dogs, and compared to the noisy and lively night scene on the main street outside, it seems to be a forgotten place, and it is another world entirely.
Occasionally, there are figures haunting, or the faces are numb and thin, or the hideous and fierce people are in a hurry, which sets off the complex and difficult living environment in this small alley.
The people who haunted the alley all looked at Li Mu and the others with curious eyes.
Not to mention the blue-maned horse with a handsome crotch, judging from the clothing and temperament alone, Li Mu and the others should not belong to the pig alley, they are people from another world, why did they come here?
"Childe?" Zheng Cunjian said softly on the side: "Old lady, it's really inside, the villain is definitely not mistaken......"
Li Mu waved his hand.
"Let's go inside. ”
He dismounted, led the horse, and walked step by step in the muddy road towards the dimly lit alley of pig-herding.
On both sides of the alley, in addition to the low earthen walls, there are scattered wooden doors, some courtyards are dead silent, there are also hidden lights in some courtyards, occasionally you can hear the sound of children laughing, and some small courtyards with red lanterns are hung at the door, standing in revealing clothes Women of different ages, scratching their heads, seeing Li Mu and the two come in, but they are far away, not belonging to the slum world of the big people, although they have property on their bodies, but they do not dare to really come up to solicit customers.
The pig lane is not deep, about 100 meters or so.
Mother Li's small courtyard is in the deepest part of the alley.
"Old pig woman, whatever you say today, Lao Tzu will arrest this cheap, if you dare to stop it, even your legs will be broken. An arrogant voice came from the small courtyard of Mother Li in front.
Then there are the women's cries and begs for mercy, and the men's smirks.
Li Mu's eyes froze.
At the door of the small courtyard, there was a carriage parked, and two coachmen-like men stood at the door, leading the horses, looking at the passers-by with fierce faces, with long knives hanging from their waists, and their momentum was not good, like two door gods.
What's going on?
Li Mu looked at Zheng Cunjian.
The latter looked confused and dazed.
Li Mu walked straight towards the gate.
The two big men were immediately alert, staring at Li Mu, and the warning in their eyes was obvious.
"What for?"
One of the big men held the handle of the knife in his hand and stared at Li Mu.
"Oh, go home and see. Li Mu tied the green-maned horse to a dead tree stump at the door, and replied casually.
Then, ignoring the two men, he reached for the door.
"Stop. ”
"Don't go in. ”
The two men were furious at the same time, and reached out to grab Li Mu's shoulder.
If it was someone else, they would have drawn their knives and cut them over, seeing that Li Mu and Zheng Cunjian were well-dressed, they should be people with a bit of status, so they were polite - obviously, the identity of these two strong men was not high, so they didn't know Zheng Cunjian at all, and they didn't know that this [black-hearted Xiucai] who stomped his feet was enough to make the entire Chang'an Mansion tremble.
However, as soon as the two men reached out and grabbed it, they were empty.
Li Mu was not in a hurry, he had already pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
"Stand ......"
"Are you looking for death?"
The two men were shocked and hurriedly chased in.
Zheng Cunjian shook his head, he had already vaguely guessed something, it was obvious that someone was going to be unlucky tonight, and it was unlucky, he knew Li Mu's temper, once the fire came up, even the sky could poke a hole.
Whatever happens, though, has nothing to do with him.
So he unhurriedly tied his horse to the door, took some of the clothes and food he had just bought from the horse, carried it in his hand, and then also entered the small courtyard, and the two men chased after him, so that no one stopped him at all.
......
Li Mu walked into the courtyard and saw such a picture.
A middle-aged woman in a tattered coarse linen skirt, holding a bare broom in her hand, protected another woman who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old behind her, like a hen protecting her chicks, with an angry and frightened expression on her face.
This middle-aged woman's eyes are blank, and there is no focus, obviously she has been blind, even if she has lost her eyes, or the shabby and rough clothes on her body, it does not hinder her beauty, just like a flower falling in the mud and dust, although she has been ravaged by the years, tortured by life, difficult and difficult, but her body, there is still a noble and beautiful temperament.
There was almost no need to guess, Li Mu knew that this middle-aged woman was Mother Li.
To be honest, the image of Mother Li is very different from the image of a middle-aged and elderly woman with white hair and a clumsy body in his imagination, but if you think about it, this is normal.
After all, when she was young, Mother Li was an outstanding aristocratic flower in the empire, and she was pursued by countless people.
And the woman behind Mother Li, eighteen or nineteen years old, her appearance is still slightly immature, although her appearance is not very beautiful, but she can be regarded as upright and well-behaved, her skin is excellent, full of tears and frightened as if she was frightened by a thunderstorm......
It's just that the girl's naked white body is densely covered with all kinds of whip marks, and it is bruised and swollen.
In Li Mu's mind, some information immediately popped up.
Zheng Cunjian said that there were a few loyal little maids around Li's mother, but they were all broken up and sold, and the last loyal little maid was also forcibly sold to a family as a concubine by the scumbag prefect's house.
The scene in front of you, huh......
It should be the concubine who was forcibly sold to marry, escaped back, and then was chased by others?
Combined with the words she heard outside the door before, Mother Li made such a judgment.
And opposite Li's mother and two daughters, a middle-aged Humpty Dumpty man covered in silk and satin, was scolding with his hands on his hips, and beside him, there were four evil slaves, all of whom hung long knives from their waists, holding horsewhips in their hands, fierce and vicious, with a cruel smile on their faces, giggling, as if they were watching the excitement.
"Hehe, old pig dog, uncle, I see that you have served the prefect, so I don't care about you, you are so ignorant of life and death, dare to collude with this, steal my family's property, and dare to protect this, do you really think that uncle, I don't dare to beat you?"
At the corner of the fat man's mouth, there was a mole with a pinch of black hair, and when he scolded, he was hideous and cruel.
He scolded twice, suddenly turned his head, and saw Li Mu walking in step by step.
"Who are you?" he was surprised.
Li Mu said: "I am the master here...... Who are you?"
As he spoke, two men outside the door chased in.
The fat man reacted, his expression changed color and became fierce, and he said, "Where did you come from, a fool who dares to be in front of Zheng Ye and me...... Wangcai is blessed, let you guard the gate, how did you let this little bald donkey begging for wildfire in?" He also regarded Li Mu as a monk.
The two men who chased in, one was called Wangcai, and the other was called Laifu.
"Master, he forced his way in......"
"This kid is very slippery, be careful, master. ”
Two humane.
"Pull me out, pull me out...... Break his legs. The fat man, who called himself Master Zheng, jumped to his feet and drank loudly, apparently interrupted a good thing, which made him very angry.
The two men immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.
Li Mutou didn't look back, he slapped his backhand, and a wave of energy gushed out, and the two big men flew out upside down like two kites with broken strings, and fell outside the courtyard wall, without life.
Then, he sighed and said, "Also surnamed Zheng." ”
Zheng Cunjian, who had just come in from the door, shuddered when he heard this, and hurriedly explained as soon as possible: "Childe, I don't know him, and I'm not the same Zheng." ”
At this time, Mother Li and the maid on the other side were also a little surprised.
Mother Li was blind, couldn't see, couldn't see Li Mu's appearance clearly, and didn't know what was going on for a while.
And the panicked girl who was like a duckling on a thunderstorm quickly pulled up her tattered clothes, covered them with her hands, looked at Li Mu's body, and was a little puzzled, but at such a time, seeing the picture when Li Mu made a move, she could only put her last hope on this stranger's body, and mustered up the courage to hurriedly say: "Childe, help us ......"
