Chapter 225: Divergence
With his cold drink, three figures, one tall and two short, walked out of the dark alleyway. Liu Yu squinted his eyes for a moment and recognized it as the mother and son just now.
"Didn't you run for your lives? Why are you still here? He asked, frowning.
It was already dark, and there were dim lanterns hanging under the eaves of the people in the lanes. The light fell on their faces, and Liu Yu noticed that they were dirty and messy. The boy who ran in a panic and accidentally fell, his foot was still lame when he walked.
The woman noticed Liu Yu's gaze, and her face was slightly uneasy. But looking at the two children, one on the left and one on the right, she gritted her teeth, pounced and knelt down towards Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was moved by her sudden move, "What are you doing, hurry up." ”
The woman wept, "Thank you to the benefactor for driving out the wicked for us......
"It's just a gesture, the eldest sister is welcome." Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to help her up.
Not only did the woman not only stand up, but also knelt down with a pair of sons.
"Benefactor is doing well, can you lend me some silver......
Liu Yu was slightly stunned.
The woman was overstretched, and hurriedly bent down and bowed, "I know this is a Tang Tu benefactor, but I am really desperate...... If only I were alone, it would be just my two hard-working children...... Ever since they were targeted by those wicked people, they have been following me to hide in Tibet and starve, and ask their benefactors for mercy. ”
When she said this, the two children beside her were very quiet. The woman bowed down, and the sister and brother bowed down with them, and their thin and weak appearance was very pitiful.
Liu Yu sighed slightly, squatted down and helped the two children up, and then went to help the woman, "This eldest sister, don't kneel." Have something to say, don't you sound like you're from here? ”
Seeing his gentle face, the woman couldn't help wiping away her tears, "We are from Dantu County. ”
Dantu? Liu Yu was slightly shocked, and looked at the mother and son up and down again, judging from the dress of the mother and son, they were just ordinary people, how could they get into trouble with bullies?
He remained silent, "There is an inn not far ahead, it's not early, and the children also need to rest, why don't you take you to the inn first?" ”
The woman was so frightened that she did not dare to speak. Liu Yu only regarded her as polite, and bent down to hug the lame boy.
Unexpectedly, the girl, who was very quiet just now, suddenly pushed him away, dragged the little boy behind him, and said fiercely: "Don't touch my brother!" ”
Such a strong vigilance caught Liu Yu by surprise. The woman hurriedly apologized, "The benefactor is kind, we understand it." We really can't live in that inn......"
"What do you mean by that?"
"The wicked will still find ......"
Originally, saving people was just a gesture, but the woman's words made Liu Yu think deeply. If it is really as she said, then his efforts may not be to save people, but may harm people.
If you save people, why not save them to the end.
Liu Yu was slightly relieved in his heart, "If the eldest sister can be trusted, you might as well talk about it carefully, maybe you can help in the next place." ”
"This ......," the woman hesitated.
As they spoke, the two children gurgled in their bellies.
Liu Yuwen said with a smile: "Although I can't go to the inn, I still have to eat." Don't worry, with me Liu Yu here, I will definitely not let you let those bullies bully you again. Let's go, talk while eating. ”
Liu Yu's innocent and harmless smile finally made the mother and son lower their guard, and after a meal, he already knew the cause and effect. But he never thought that their misfortune had something to do with himself.
Liu Yu is also a Dantu person. Don't look at his solitary appearance as a declining prodigal son on weekdays, but in fact, he still has an unknown identity.
That is the eldest son of Huanfeng Building.
Speaking of this Huanfeng Building, it is one of the largest gangs in the rivers and lakes. After the descendants of the Liu family moved from Pengcheng to Dantu, they gradually accumulated and matured, and they were already quite famous in the local area and became a place of refuge for the people.
In today's situation, Liu's Huanfeng Lou was involved in a homicide case, offended the imperial court, and was targeted everywhere. The man who died was the husband of the woman in front of him and the father of the two children.
However, he said that this person inadvertently provoked the son of Dantu County Order, and accidentally injured people in the middle of the tussle. He knew that he was at a loss and was afraid of retaliation, so he asked the owner of Huanfeng Mansion for help.
Huanfeng Lou learned the details and came forward to reconcile. Everything was going well. I don't know that one night passed, and the second ancestor of this gentleman died violently somehow. The county magistrate was furious, and asked the family to bury his dead son.
The woman's husband was beaten to death. The mother and son were still under the cover of Huanfeng Tower, and they had to escape from the Dantu. I didn't want to, but I still showed the wind and was chased all the way here.
The woman wiped away her tears as she spoke, but Liu Yu's brows became tighter and tighter.
When his father was alive, the relationship with the government was somewhat strained. Over the years, I don't know if it has improved. Now that he is involved in human life again, he is still the son of the county commander...... People have chased here, and they will not give up.
Now that the situation is so chaotic, with his understanding of the government, he will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to attack Huanfeng Tower.
I don't know if Ah Ze and his mother will be able to cope with it......
Liu Yu couldn't help but get irritable in his heart.
*
When I came out of the restaurant, it was already dark, and the night was dotted with stars, which appeared and disappeared from time to time.
The woman and her sons were very thinly clothed. Knowing that those people may be people from the government in disguise, Liu Yu didn't dare to arrange people in the inn casually. After thinking about it, he brought the man back to his home.
It was still early, and Tianjin had not slept yet. was sitting and chatting with Zhu Jin under the lamp, Guan Sanye was playing a set of boxing techniques in the courtyard, and as soon as the momentum was closed, the door opened.
He raised his eyes slightly, and when he saw Liu Yu, he just pursed his lips and nodded indifferently. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, Dingqing looked at it and was stunned for a moment. His eyes couldn't help narrowing, and when he looked at Liu Yu again, his eyes were quite unkind.
Liu Yu snorted slightly, knowing that he had misunderstood. coughed awkwardly, turned back to the mother and son, and said, "You guys wait in the courtyard for a while." ”
The woman was uneasy, hugged the two children, looked at the strong man in the courtyard tabooly, and nodded obediently.
Only then did Liu Yu turn around, gesture slightly to Guan Sanye, and walked up to find Tianjin.
Guan Sanye saw him enter the house, and simply didn't leave. Holding his arms and half-leaning between the beams, his eyes stared at the sudden uninvited guest.
Fortunately, there was no light in the courtyard, and the frightened mother and son did not dare to look around, and did not see the hostility on his face.
The two people in the house had already heard the movement in the courtyard. When Liu Yu came in, Zhu Jin had already stood up. I saw him open the curtain and step in, smiling all over his face.
"The colt is back."
