Chapter 5 Exclusion
When Rou'er pleaded guilty to the Zhao family, Li Hongyu, who was lying on the bed, put his hands behind his head and looked at the roof, he was going to officially go to the school tomorrow to be taught, and then he would face those guys who had bullied and ridiculed "him", and he would definitely double the humiliation he had suffered in the past!
At this moment, no one knows that the bullied Li Hongyu has died in the water incident, and the current Li Hongyu is no longer a soft persimmon that can be pinched and rounded!
What made Li Hongyu angry was that those hateful guys pushed the boy with the same name and surname as him into the water even though they knew that he couldn't swim, making it clear that it was beyond the scope of jokes and out-and-out murder.
Li Hongyu's emotions are now completely integrated with the boy, and he can clearly feel the pain, helplessness, and fear when the boy drowned, as well as the hateful guys laughing wildly on the shore.
If you use that young man's weak character, he will definitely swallow this cup of bitter wine in his stomach, but Li Hongyu is different, he has his own bottom line of doing things, and this kind of murder is unbearable no matter what, and he will definitely fight back to let those guys taste the corresponding bitter fruits.
Therefore, Li Hongyu couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of tomorrow in his heart, he wanted to see with his own eyes whether those people would still insult him like before, if they still didn't repent, then don't blame him for being polite.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Hongyu washed and dressed under Rou'er's service, and a sturdy young man in Tsing Yi of seventeen or eighteen years old stood outside the door and waited.
This young man in Tsing Yi is not an outsider, he is the son of Brother Zizhu, named Wang Tieniu, who is specifically responsible for bringing pens, ink, paper, inkstones, books and other items to Li Hongyu, which can be described as Li Hongyu's companion.
Originally, Li Hongyu did not have a special companion, and they all went to the school in the town with the children of the Li family's mansion, but since he fell into the water, the Zhao family decided to strengthen his safety, so he asked Wang Tieniu to accompany him to protect him.
In Zhao's view, Wang Tieniu, who is simple and honest and tall, is the best person to protect Li Hongyu, and Zizhu Niang's family is usually taken care of by her, so Wang Tieniu will naturally give Li Hongyu his life.
"Your name is Iron Bull?" When he packed up and went out, Li Hongyu glanced up and down at Wang Tieniu, who was standing at the door, and it seemed that Wang Tieniu usually did a lot of physical work, otherwise he would not be able to practice such a strong body.
"Back to the young master, this name was given by my grandfather, I hope I can support the family like an iron ox." Wang Tieniu bowed to Li Hongyu and replied honestly, his expression was a little cramped, he was a rough man and had never done anything to serve people, so he didn't know how to get along with Li Hongyu.
"Good name, in the future, Young Master Ben will call you Tie Niu." Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, took off a piece of jade pendant tied around his waist and handed it over, "First time we met, this is a meeting gift from Young Master Ben." ”
"Young master, this is too valuable, I can't ask for it." Seeing this, Wang Tieniu hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, although he didn't know the value of the jade pendant, it was obvious that the things he wore on Li Hongyu were definitely not cheap.
"This is given to you by the young master, you don't want to look down on the young master!" Li Hongyu's face sank when he heard this, "Since you look down on the young master, then you can go back." ”
"Young master, I can't go back, Madame treats my family like a mountain, and I am here to repay Madame and Young Master this time." Wang Tieniu immediately became anxious when he heard this, if he was driven back, he would have no face to see.
"Then you take it." Li Hongyu smiled slightly, and stuffed the jade pendant into Wang Tieniu's hand, "Remember, my mother and I don't need you to repay the favor, you came here because the young master needs you to do things, and you are helping the young master." ”
"Young Master......"
Wang Tieniu stood there a little at a loss with the jade pendant in his hand, and he didn't react for a while, but Li Hongyu's words were very intimate, which made his chest can't help but have a warm current and double his affection for Li Hongyu, which invisibly narrowed the distance between him and Li Hongyu.
Seeing this scene in front of her, Rou'er beside Li Hongyu couldn't help but light up in front of her, her eyes showed a look of surprise and joy, if she was not mistaken, Li Hongyu was wooing Wang Tieniu, which was simply unimaginable before.
Li Hongyu led Rou'er and Wang Tieniu, who looked excited, to bid farewell to the Zhao family, and the Zhao family personally sent him to the carriage waiting outside the mansion, and the school was still a short distance away from the Li family's mansion in the north of the town, so the children of big families like Li Hongyu naturally took a car to go over.
There are two carriages in the Li family's mansion to send the children of the family to the school, and it is worth mentioning that only the sons in each house are eligible to take the carriage, and the other concubines can only walk, and the gap between the concubines is like a chasm that cannot be crossed.
Zhao knew that Li Hongyu was excluded and ridiculed by others in the private school, originally she only thought that Li Hongyu would be able to endure it, but she didn't think that Li Hongyu fell into the water later, so Zhao prepared a carriage for Li Hongyu on the grounds that he was weak at the beginning of his serious illness, so as not to be bullied by others again.
In fact, Zhao was very suspicious of Li Hongyu's overboard, because she knew that Li Hongyu would not usually go near the shore because he could not swim, so he would not fall into the river.
Although there were doubts in his heart, because the people present at the time were unanimously convinced that Li Hongyu had fallen into the water, and Li Hongyu also said that he had accidentally fallen into the water after he woke up, which made Zhao helpless and had no choice but to put the matter on hold temporarily.
The reason why Li Hongyu told Zhao that he had fallen into the water was naturally not because he was afraid of those hateful guys, but because he didn't want Zhao to worry about it, and he was ready to use his own methods to solve this matter.
The school in Baihe Town was built by several large families in the town, and there were a total of five teachers, the most famous of which was naturally Li Hongyu's fourth uncle Li Renbo.
This school is not accessible to anyone, and the one-year tuition fee is worth the expenses of ordinary people in Baihe Town, and the students who can study here are usually from relatively well-off families.
Of course, the school also has free places, which are specially provided to those poor students in the town who have the potential to take the imperial examination, after all, once these people from poor backgrounds step into the official career, they will be of great help to the town, and they are the contacts of Baihe Town in the officialdom, so they naturally have to treat each other differently.
"Young Master, it's here!" I don't know how long it took for the creaking carriage to stop, and the coachman then lifted the curtain and said to Li Hongyu, who was leaning on the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed.
Wang Tieniu, who was sitting opposite Li Hongyu, immediately got out of the carriage and put a small stool on the ground next to the carriage, and Li Hongyu stepped on the small stool and got off the car with his support.
"White River Academy!"
Looking at a plaque with black characters on a blue background hanging above the gate of a courtyard in front of him, Li Hongyu couldn't help but read slowly, and then the corners of his mouth showed a subtle smile, but he didn't expect that the private school with only two courtyards in front and back would dare to call it a "academy", which was really mediocre and elegant.
"Li Sanshao, before this illness is cured, you came to accept the teachings of the masters, do you want to be the champion?" Just then, a shrill voice came from the side, followed by a burst of laughter.
Li Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly, and he turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a dozen young people with bookbags on their backs hugging a white-shirted young man with a Chinese character face walking over, and it was this white-shirted young man who spoke, and it seemed that they were all students of the academy.
Since Li Hongyu is the eldest son of the Li family's third room, the people in the academy call him "three less" in order to make fun of him, and there is no respect in his words.
As the appearance of the young man in white shirt came into view, Li Hongyu's mind suddenly appeared with his information, this person is the young owner of the largest jewelry store in Baihe Town, named Liu Dongfu, who usually makes fun of him.
"Unplanted cowardice!" Li Hongyu's eyebrows furrowed, then lowered his head, pretending to be scared, and walked into the gate of the academy quickly, and the ridicule of Liu Dongfu and others suddenly came from behind him.
After hearing the laughter, Li Hongyu's fists clenched and then released, if he stayed in the past, he would definitely have to take a good look at Liu Dongfu, but although Liu Dongfu often teased and ridiculed him, he was not bad in nature, just teasing him and not deliberately bullying him.
Moreover, Li Hongyu, who has been a classmate of Liu Dongfu for several years, naturally knows why he wants to ridicule himself, but he just follows the crowd to avoid being isolated by others.
Therefore, Li Hongyu's enemy in the academy is not Liu Dongfu, but the culprit who caused him to be so passive.
It is also ridiculous to say that Li Hongyu's enemy is not an outsider but his cousin Li Hongyi, Li Hongyi is the second son of Li Hongyu's uncle Li Renhe, and he took the lead in bullying him in the academy, and it was at the instigation of Li Hongyi that the people in the academy isolated Li Hongyu one after another.
When Old Man Li was alive, Li Hongyu's life in the academy was very dull, but since Old Man Li handed over the grain business to the third room of the Li family before his death, Li Hongyi began to deliberately target Li Hongyu and make things difficult for him everywhere.
As the second son of the Li family's big house, those who came to study in the academy were naturally afraid of Li Hongyi, and people like Liu Dongfu followed Li Hongyi's ass and acted in a hurry, deliberately looking for trouble with Li Hongyu to make Li Hongyi happy.
In Li Yuntian's view, the academy is like a condensed small society, in which it is naturally inevitable that people are warm and cold and the world is cold, so he does not care about Liu Dongfu's behavior of being red and white, it is obvious that people like Liu Dongfu do not really have malicious intentions towards themselves, but they just don't want to be excluded or even become victims by the mainstream class headed by Li Hongyi.
Entering the academy, the students along the way cast strange glances at Li Hongyu, looking at him and whispering.
Although the Zhao family did not learn the truth from those people at the scene of Li Hongyu's fall into the water, it had already spread among the students in the academy that it was an open secret that Li Hongyu was deliberately pushed into the water and drowned half to death.
