Chapter 44: The widow of the Wu family
"Alright, this is the last pot of wine, let's leave after drinking. Don't interfere with my business. The shopkeeper was pestered by the down-and-out monk, so he brought another jug of wine.
"Look down on me, don't you want me to go? I'm not rare, I don't drink anymore. The downcast monk seemed furious and got up and left the tavern.
"Alas! Why did the Wu family come up with such a thing? ruined the reputation of the Wu family. The shopkeeper muttered as he cleaned up the table.
"Shopkeeper, who was that just now? Are you a regular customer? Yi Han found an excuse to talk.
"Regulars? I wish I hadn't had this regular. cheating, eating, drinking, and cheating every day. I don't owe hundreds of spirit stones. "The store was angry.
"He looks like he's a kid of a big family." Yi Han asked again.
"Speaking of him, he is indeed a child of a big family. But that's in the past. Now he is like a wild dog, and the people in this street hate him. The store introduced Yi Han.
"Oh, can you elaborate on that?" Yi Han was even more interested.
"Well, there aren't many people in the store today, so I'll tell you about it. The person just now is named Wu Zihang, a former son of the Wu family, and a descendant. Back then, the Wu family was also a big family in Nanxi City. The family's shipyard is the largest in the entire Flowing Cloud Islands. There are thousands of craftsmen at the bottom, galloping the entire Liuyun Islands, which is not beautiful.
But there were unforeseen circumstances on this day. Later, the Wu family actually encountered a tide of sea beasts during a voyage, and the entire family elite was buried at the hands of sea beasts. The elite of the Wu family were all lost in that battle. After that, this Wu Jianuo's big industry was divided by other forces. In particular, the Li family replaced the Wu family and became the largest shipbuilding family in the Liuyun Islands.
But let me tell you, some people say that the fall of the Wu family is the conspiracy of several families. The shopkeeper whispered suddenly.
"The Wu family was divided among several forces, so what about the people of the Wu family? What's going on with this Wu Zihang? Yi Han continued to ask.
"Most of the elite of the Wu family died at sea. Some of them also died in battle while protecting the Wu family. Basically, the entire Wu family's descendants are almost dead. Only this Wu Zihang was greedy for life and afraid of death in the face of several forces, and he made compromises to find the truth, so he picked up a life.
And he is still living in the former glory of the Wu family all day long, using the reputation of the Wu family to deceive. Everyone didn't bother to deal with this kind of person, and they didn't think that he was getting more and more excessive now. Alas! The shopkeeper looked disdainful when he mentioned Wu Zihang.
"I see, thank you." Yi Han thanked.
"You're welcome, you know all these things. What else do you want to order? The shopkeeper asked.
"Not for now." Yi Han replied.
……
Yi Han, who left the tavern, kept Wu Zihang's figure in his mind. He felt that in everyone's eyes, this child of the Wu family, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and who was reluctant to steal his life, was not so simple. But I can't say what's wrong. He thought about it as he returned to the inn.
"Childe." At this time, Yang Rui and others also came back.
"Coming back? How's it going? Yi Han asked.
"Almost, when are we going back?" Yang Rui and the others asked.
"Wait another day, something happened." Yi Han replied. He was still thinking about Wu Zihang. He felt that the perfection of the shipyard fell on Wu Zihang.
"What happened?" Yang Rui hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, I just met someone......" Yi Han said about meeting Wu Zihang today.
"According to the situation that Gongzi understands, this Wu Zihang is a waste, and he is greedy for life and afraid of death, what's the use of Gongzi looking for him?" Yang Rui was a little puzzled.
"I don't think it's that simple. This Wu Zihang gives me a special feeling. I can't say anything wrong, but I don't think he's what people understand him. Yi Han explained.
"What is the son going to do?" Yang Rui asked.
"Tomorrow I will inquire about Wu Zihang's residence, and we will visit." Yi Han decided.
"Okay then." Although he didn't agree with Yi Han's feelings, Yang Rui still responded.
……
At this time, an abandoned warehouse in Nanxi City. This is Wu Zihang's temporary residence. The entire Wu family's property was divided up by various forces in the city, and although he picked up a life, he also became homeless and became a lost dog. He had changed places of residence several times, and they had all been kicked out. It is no longer known that this is the first place he lived.
At this time, Wu Zihang was hiding in a hidden corner of the warehouse to cultivate. This person, who is greedy for life and afraid of death in the eyes of the people, and annoys every monk, is actually cultivating, and seeing that his cultivation has reached the advanced level of qi refining, he is only one step away from becoming a foundation building stage monk.
"Whew!"
After some cultivation, Wu Zihang often breathed a sigh of relief. But after looking at the increased cultivation, he frowned again. Without the support of resources, his cultivation speed was too slow. In a few years, his cultivation has only reached the middle level to the high level, if the Wu family is still there, he should be a foundation building period monk.
"Father, mother, I have already found out the cause of the accident in the Wu family back then. What sea beasts, bad luck, and accidents are all the conspiracy of several families in Nanxi City. They coveted the Wu family's property and joined forces to set up a bureau to destroy the Wu family. Thousands of people from the Wu family were killed by people from several major families in this way.
In the eyes of people, I am an unscrupulous child of the Wu family. Spineless, greedy for life and afraid of death, reluctant to steal life, they mocked and insulted me at will, but I never paid attention to it. Because I have only one purpose, and that is to avenge the Wu family. I never cared about the eyes of outsiders.
I pretended to be crazy and stupid, and hid in Tibet, in order to dispel the doubts of several families and lower their vigilance, so that I could have a chance to take revenge. But now I find that I can't hold on anymore, it's too hard. I have no resources, no connections, nothing. I'm too tired to deal with the forces of several families by myself.
Several families have Jindan stage monks, but I don't even have a foundation building period now. How can I get revenge? How shall I destroy them? I realized that I might be really a waste in people's eyes because I couldn't do anything. I'm just hiding in a corner in the name of revenge.
I'm in so much pain, and sometimes I really want to go down to you. Maybe there will be no worries when you die, and you don't have to live so painfully. What should I do now? Can you tell me? After cultivating, Wu Zihang's mood suddenly collapsed.
He held a pendant in his hand, as if it were something like an amulet. Then he whispered to the amulet. It was the only thing his parents left him. All his spiritual comfort.
At this moment, no one in Nanxi City knew that in this deserted corner where no one cared, there was a lonely soul pouring out silently.
In fact, sometimes death is not the end, nor is it the most painful, but living is. For some people, it is much harder to live than to die.
