Chapter 11: Knock on the door

Fortunately, the courtyard wall is made of blue bricks, and if it is an earthen wall, I am afraid that even the wall will fall with a large piece.

A few people who were praying in the ancestral hall were about to reach the key point, and when they heard a loud noise, they wanted to come out to check.

It's just that the prayers can't be stopped, the old lady Wu is fine, but the other four people are a little unable to sit still.

At this time, a large group of people, on this Chinese New Year's Eve, stepped on the gate of the head of the Wu family and came to the courtyard on a rampage.

At this time, the mother-in-law of the Wu patriarch and several children who were guarding the age of the year hurriedly got up and prepared to come to the courtyard to check.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw a fierce and vicious person in the courtyard, and he was frightened and immediately closed the door again.

But it was still too late, and then the two people who passed by kicked the door open again.

When the two of them looked, in addition to the eldest mother-in-law and her two sons, there was also a little girl who was like a flower.

This time, both of them came to the spirit.

He stretched out his hand and went into the house to drag the little girl out.

The little girl had never seen this posture, and she cried out in fright and retreated.

The patriarch's mother-in-law, Mu Shi, saw that she was gone, and her two sons couldn't watch their sister being pulled away.

For a moment, several people were in a mess.

The movement outside was so loud that the rest of the Wu family who were guarding the New Year around naturally heard the movement.

The men dressed one after another, brought the tools for farm work, closed the gates of their homes, and walked towards the patriarch's house.

It's just that when they get closer, no one dares to move forward easily, and they only watch from afar.

In the ancestral hall, the head of the Wu family and the four old ladies were affected by the sound outside and were never able to concentrate.

Especially the patriarch Wu Gu, when he heard his daughter screaming loudly, he was simply distraught.

The eldest old lady glared at him fiercely, and Wu Gu had to continue to close his eyes and read some strange words together.

In the middle of the table in front of the five of them was a hundred-year-old turtle.

I just don't know if it's because the turtle is too old, or if it's too cold.

The turtle just lay there and never moved.

Seeing that the prayer ceremony will take a while, but the form outside is becoming more and more urgent, and they can't wait for them to ink here.

Wu Gu was only coerced by his father, and he never dared to stop praying.

Suddenly, the old lady noticed that the turtle had opened its eyes and slowly turned its head to look in the direction of the door.

Before they could be happy, there was a "bang" in the next second, and even the door of the ancestral hall was kicked down.

At this moment, the old lady looked at the person who had just withdrawn his foot, and he was extremely ruthless, and he couldn't wait to rush over and kill him directly in the next moment.

The old lady's mouth opened, as if she had read something, but no one heard her.

The man's body suddenly shuddered, and the next moment he fell straight down.

At this moment, the people who were about to break in suddenly retreated.

The door was suddenly vacant.

"What a boldness, I dare to break into the ancestral hall of the Wu family, you don't want to live!"

An old and majestic voice rang out.

If it had been before, this would have been a deterrent.

But now, no one dares to move forward easily, after all, the first person to break in is still on the ground, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

There is also the direction of the five people sitting in the room, and the strange runes drawn on the table and the big scary turtle, how strange this scene is.

Everything in the ancestral hall was seen by Qingyu, who was standing outside the hillside not far away.

That turtle is really big, and it should be used for prayer ceremonies when it can appear in the ancestral hall at this time.

Qingyu felt that such a big turtle should have some spirituality.

She picked up the bamboo whistle and blew it twice at random, still holding her arms, sitting peacefully on the wolf's back to watch the show.

The old lady asked sharply before, and he didn't dare to move forward for a while.

At this time, the fifth master, who had been sitting in the carriage, suddenly got out of the carriage and signaled at random, and two subordinates strode into the courtyard with one person behind.

Outside the ancestral hall where there was no door, the fifth master looked at the person lying upright on the ground, his brows furrowed, and his eyes looked at the head of the Wu family and the others with a smile.

With a casual wave of his hand, someone was ready to step forward to check on the man lying on the ground.

The subordinate in front of him looked around from time to time to see that there was no danger, and then he leaned into the man's nose tremblingly.

Luckily, I just passed out.

He hurriedly got up and bowed slightly to the fifth master, and hurriedly retreated.

It's too evil here, the old man just glared, and he fainted directly, what a lot of kung fu is to do this.

The fifth master waved his hand again, and asked the other two to quickly carry this person down.

Only then did he look to the side and signal, and Uze, the youngest son of the head of the Wu family, who had been pointed at dumb holes and stuffed with cloth in his mouth, was pushed to the front of the person.

At this time, Uze's face was full of tears, and the cheeks of his face were already swollen high.

As the tears flowed up to it, it hurt even more.

It's just that his hands are tied and he can't move.

The body is not much better, the whole body is dirty and messy, and you can tell that it was kicked by someone at a glance.

When Uze saw his grandfather and father at this time, his mouth made whining sounds from time to time, but his mouth was blocked, and no one could hear anything clearly.

The eldest old lady frowned when she saw her little grandson being beaten like this.

Wu Gu saw that his youngest son was so embarrassed, but he didn't have the determination of his own father.

He took a quick step forward and said loudly: "What are you doing here, Chinese New Year's Eve actually broke into other people's houses to cause trouble, and is there any royal law?" ”

The fifth master is as tall as a pine, and his handsome facial features are still warm, but his slender eyes are narrowed.

Looking at his extraordinary bearing, he didn't feel like a character who could exist in such a small place as Boundless Town.

With a slight wave of his hand, a man behind him hurriedly stepped forward.

He pulled out a piece of white paper from his sleeve and shook it vigorously, revealing the handwriting on it.

It's just that this place is a little dim, and the Wu family is still some distance from the door, so they didn't see what was written on it for a while.

But when the head of the Wu family saw the beaten youngest son, he looked at the piece of paper and seemed to think of something.

He hurried a few steps forward, and was about to take the piece of paper and look at it carefully.

It's just that where the other party will give it to him directly. Instead, one of his men brought the torch closer so that Wu Gu could see it.

Seeing this, Wu Gu directly confirmed his thoughts.

It's just that he never expected that the kid from Uze didn't tell him the truth.

It turned out that Uze told him that he owed a gambling debt in the town, three hundred taels of silver, which would be paid off at the end of the year.

Originally, because of the living sacrifice, he lost a lot, and the family finally saved money to make up enough for the three hundred taels.

Two days ago, I gave it to him early, and quickly let him pay off this debt, and it was better to have a good life, but I never expected that it would be such a result, and the people on Chinese New Year's Eve called home.

The IOU clearly stated that five hundred taels of silver were owed, to be paid off before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Otherwise, you will bear the consequences.

Thinking that these people didn't have enough money, they came to collect debts.

Wu Gu thought about this uncompetitive little son, so he didn't get angry, and he also learned from his old man to glare at him fiercely.

It's just that his glance will neither make his youngest son faint, nor will he let these people back down.

The fifth master hugged his arms, one hand, and tapped rhythmically on the other arm at will, as if waiting for them to give an explanation.

As the head of a clan, Wu Gu is usually majestic in front of the Wu family, but he is just arrogant.

But in front of this fifth master, he didn't even dare to let out a fart.

It's not that he doesn't want to let go, it's really his own side that is at a loss, the IOU is still in the hands of others, and they are also responsible for reporting to the official.

And this will, the daughter and son are also in the hands of others.

This person has an extraordinary temperament at first glance, and his face seems to be gentle and harmless, but the ruthlessness that occasionally appears in his eyes is no less than that of his father.

That man is like a scorpion that has been dormant all the time, and as long as there is something that dissatisfies him, he will immediately give you a poisonous needle and kill you.

The fifth master saw that this Wu Gu kept changing his eyes, and he didn't speak, his eyes narrowed again, and he was a little impatient.

With a wave of his hand, several of his subordinates brought Wu Gu's daughter over.

At this time, one of his subordinates suddenly stood a little behind on the side of the fifth master, and said loudly: "Either pay back these two hundred taels of silver, or use her to pay off the debt." ”

Wu Gu was willing to use his daughter to pay off his debts, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Please give me a few days, and I will definitely return the money."

The corner of the fifth master's mouth sneered, and he looked up at the night sky full of stars.

The subordinates on one side saw the master's action like this, and hurriedly said: "The time is about to pass, our fifth master has enough time, but you don't cherish it, don't blame others."

You still have a cup of tea, and when the time passes, whether you haven't paid off your debts yet, it's all the same, and we will take her away. ”
