Chapter 13: Third Young Master Liu
At the urging of the white sturgeon, Motoo and Mu Wei left the ancient house.
Motoo has mixed feelings, for the white sturgeon, he can't tell what kind of feelings it is, in the most difficult moment it was he who helped himself, and when the crisis came, it was he who drew the line for the first time. At a young age, Yuan Wei can already feel a lot of powerlessness in the world.
In contrast, Mu Wei is much more free and easy: "Old man Bai, you wait for me, when I grow up, see how I torture you when I come back." You also bring a message to the Li family, I have a grudge against Mu Wei, and one day they will regret what they did..."He still wanted to vent something, but he was half dragged away by Yuanwei.
At night, the streets are much less crowded. The two of them walked in the deserted and narrow alley, for fear of being blocked by the Li family.
"Old man Bai is really hateful, and two shabby clothes sent us away. You know, we've earned him a lot of silver in the past few months, and we should be about a hundred taels, right? Even if it was a fugitive, Mu Wei was not idle, he lowered his voice and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Master is still good, I know that he can't do anything about it... Oh, what's in the clothes?" Motoo defended his master as he went to look at the torn baggage. There were indeed two robes in the baggage, tattered and lost their original color, to Motoo's surprise, there was still something wrapped in the robes, he shook vigorously, and the two silver ingots fell to the ground with a clatter.
Yuan Wei had never seen so much silver, but he could estimate the weight, these were two fifty taels of ingots, that is, a full hundred taels of silver were hidden in this inconspicuous broken baggage.
"It's broken, it's broken, Master must have given the wrong burden. This should be his family background, I have to send him back!" Motoo wrapped the silver again, turned his head and walked back.
"You're stupid, it's obvious that the old man Bai didn't want to give it to you, okay. A hundred taels of silver are hidden in the baggage, and only you fool will not notice it. As he spoke, Mu Wei grabbed Motoo's long hair and pulled him back.
"Really, is this silver really given to us by Master?" Motoo was still skeptical.
"It's good for you to have a longer brain, the old man Bai is an old fritter at all, how can he give the wrong burden!"
"yes. Master was so kind to us that he even gave us a hundred taels of silver. Mu Wei, don't complain in the future, how can we earn so much silver for Master in the past few months!"
"Alright, alright, put the money away. It's just a hundred taels of silver!"
Knowing that the white sturgeon was protecting him, Yuanwei's heart was warm, and his steps couldn't help but be much faster.
At the east gate of Yuwangbu, dozens of strong men held torches to illuminate the entire street, and they lined up on both sides of the town gate, as if waiting for someone's return.
Seeing that they were dressed in black, and there were no words embroidered on their chests, it was estimated that they were not from the Li family. Motoo and Mu Wei were a lot relieved, and after hesitating for a long time, they still had the courage to go straight to them.
"Brother, these are definitely not the Li family. Mu Wei trembled a little in his voice, if it was really the Li family, his needles would definitely not be able to numb all of them, and the pain of flesh and skin was inevitable, and maybe there were worries about life.
"No, no, no. ”
"In case it's the Li family, you will become a mountain tiger in a while, carrying me and rushing out. I really don't want to be beaten!"
"Uh-huh. Don't worry, I will protect you even if I die. ”
The two of them were talking and walking, and it was a coincidence that just as they were about to approach the town gate, a team of people ran outside, about dozens of people. The leader was a middle-aged man, with a strong figure, eagle-like eyes, and a long cold iron knife slanted behind him, exuding a shocking domineering aura all over his body. If Motoo and Mu Wei saw such a face, they would definitely remember that this person was the person with a broken leg they had treated, but unfortunately the two of them were hurrying with their heads down at this time, for fear of being recognized.
"The Third Young Master is back! The Third Young Master is back!" The men in black who were waiting were very excited when they saw the people coming, and they all raised their arms and shouted.
Although the middle-aged man was full of dust, he looked at the people who greeted him with a relieved smile, and he was just about to say something, when his eyes inadvertently saw the figure of Motoo Muyi. In fact, these two people are short in stature, and they are dressed in standard clothes called Hanako, which is really not very conspicuous in the night. But for this middle-aged man, Yuanwei's lame right leg and the gray-black bone staff in his hand were as dazzling as a lightning bolt piercing the night sky, and he trembled a little: "That lame little brother, you stop..."
Yuanwei Mu Wei, who was trembling, was almost frightened when he heard the man's voice, and ran away, even the ability to become a mountain tiger was forgotten outside the clouds, and Yuanwei's lame left leg was even more obvious.
"Don't run, don't run, is your benefactor?" The middle-aged man was taken aback, and called softly in a softer voice, for fear that Yuanwei would disappear from his sight again. This little lame man, he has been looking for more than half a year, after all, he still has the rattan he buried in his leg!
"Benefactor?" Motoo and Mu Wei slowed down at the same time, listening to each other's voices as if there was no malice, and besides, the word benefactor is very sensitive, if it is involved, it may be a good thing.
The middle-aged man came to the two of them and recognized at a glance that it was Motoo who saved him. He firmly grasped Yuanwei's arm, and Yuanwei's arm immediately came with an iron-like force, and if he wanted to escape from it, it was estimated that it would be difficult to go to the blue sky.
"Little brother, it's really you! The sky has eyes, and I have the opportunity to repay you for saving your life. The middle-aged man shouted regardless of his identity, completely ignoring the puzzled gazes of the entourage behind him.
It turned out that this middle-aged man's name was Liu Li, and he was the third young master of the Liu family who was in the cloth business, and the third brother of the little lady Liu Yao. Liu Li has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is also a well-known figure in Yuwangbu. Liu Li was responsible for escorting the money for the goods at Liu's house, and this time he went out to deliver the goods. And last time, it was the delivery of goods that was ambushed by someone, and he almost lost his life, but fortunately, Yuan Wei reached out in time to help.
At this time, if Yuanwei can't recognize Liu Li in front of him, it can only be said that he has a problem. After all, except for the person in front of him, all the others he had treated were mountain beasts.
"This big brother, I was just stopping by to save you at that time, it was no big deal, that, we still have urgent matters today, so I won't chat with you. With that, Mototail wanted to break free and leave.
"Little brother, what you said. It may be a trivial matter for you, but for me Liu Li, it is a major matter of life and death. Today, I must invite the two of you to my house, I want to thank you very much!" Liu Li could not let him go, in the past few months, although his injuries have healed, the broken leg has also walked as usual, but the few rattans buried in Yuanwei at the beginning are like thorns in his heart, which makes him feel uneasy.
"Brother Liu, we really can't stay here, sorry sorry... Besides, Brother Liu, you have to stay away from us, but don't bother you..."Yuan Wei explained sincerely.
"Hmm? It seems that the little brother is in some trouble? Don't be afraid, in this Yuwang Port, there are no people who dare to embarrass me Liu Li, and there are no people who dare to embarrass my Liu Li's life-saving benefactor!" Liu Li saw something, but still didn't let go.
"Is Brother Liu from the cloth shop in the town?" Mu Wei, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly asked.
"Of course, this is the third young master of our Liu family, he stomped his feet, not to mention that in this Yuwang Port, even if it is a radius of hundreds of miles, he will tremble. Liu Li's entourage had long been dissatisfied and explained Liu Li's status one after another. You must know that the third young master of the Liu family has always been an arrogant master, where have you seen such a soft and gentle speech, and the gentleness has caught up with the third young grandmother. If Liu Li is facing elders, this is understandable, but if he is facing two little flowers, then they will feel angry.
"Brother Liu, you come here with me to talk. Mu Wei confirmed his conjecture, pulled Liu Li to avoid those entourage, and briefly told him what happened to Yuanwei.
"And this kind of thing! Is this really the Li family's children doing? Is it really because you exposed their tricks to fool my little sister? Anyway, if it is not good for my benefactor, I will break their legs!" Although Liu Li had a lot of puzzles, he still patted his chest to ensure their safety, after all, his first priority at present was to let Yuanwei take those rattans out of his flesh.
couldn't help but say, Liu Li invited the two of Yuanwei back to Liu's house. Among them, the two weighed the pros and cons of all aspects, confirmed that they were safe, and did not refuse excessively.
Liu's compound.
On weekdays, Motoo Mu Wei passed by this compound more than once, and they were amazed by the towering courtyard wall and magnificent gatehouse. In particular, Motoo never thought that he would be able to enter this compound one day, and he was still invited.
Liu Li ordered to go down, and a family member had already prepared a wing room for the two of Yuanwei to rest in peace. As for Liu Li, because he still had to report the harvest of this line to his father, he left alone.
