Chapter 4 The Sin of Desire
After more than a month of getting along, Li Wei has slowly become familiar with this place, and his affection for the father and daughter has doubled. More than once, he comforted the heavens in his heart, and although this drink and peck made people and lost the one, it also gave him what he wanted in his heart.
Early in the morning, Li Wei helped Yun Mo fetch water, and last night, Li Jingyuan did not come back, according to Yun Mo, this situation is very rare. Unless they went to a particularly distant place.
"Yun Mo, it's not good, it's not good," just as the two of them were about to enter the house, a young man in a black robe ran over quickly, with long fluffy black hair draped over his shoulders.
"Little Liu, what are you talking about slowly? Yun Mo asked.
"Uncle Jingyuan was beaten at the gate of the martial arts, go and take a look. Xiao Liu was out of breath.
"What?" Yun Mo didn't have time to ask, shook off the basket in his hand, and ran out, although Li Wei didn't understand what was happening, but seeing Yun Mo's anxious appearance, he also ran out after him.
Through a few alleys, a street appeared in front of Li Wei's eyes, a slightly larger courtyard appeared in front of him, and there was a stone tablet standing on the side of the door, and two eye-catching big characters came into view: Wutang.
"You're just a wasted person now, and you dare to take your prey for yourself... As soon as Li Wei walked to the door, he heard the sound of reprimanding from inside.
As soon as Yun Mo walked to the door, he saw Li Jingyuan lying on the ground, his face covered with blood, and he cried out with a wow.
"Hmph, I used to see that you were good at it, and every time I gave you some more prey, but you look at you now, you have broken a hand, and you have been hunting almost uselessly in the past half a month, what use will you have in the future? Recently, you have dared to assert yourself, you have taken almost half of these prey, I tell you, not only do you have to return the share you eat, but even in the future, the prey in the village will not have your share, a waste person, will only drag us down. One of the young men pointed at Li Jingyuan fiercely and scolded, and about a dozen young people behind him looked at him with sticks in their hands and mockingly.
Li Wei hurriedly helped Li Jingyuan up, from the dialogue of these people to the things that Yun Mo said, he vaguely understood, in the past, Li Jingyuan was good, they looked at each other differently, and now Li Jingyuan has broken a hand, naturally less brave in the past, these people gradually leaked their true appearance, and showed no mercy.
Li Wei is deeply aware of this truth, when he was in the blacksmith shop in the past, whenever he was sick, he would get less food. When a person cannot create benefits for the user, the user will no longer treat you as a human being.
"You people, how can you be so wronged? Have you forgotten the contribution made by your uncle in the past? Now that you are injured, you are also injured from hunting, and you don't give a reward, how can you treat him like this?" Li Wei said angrily to several people.
In the past, how could he speak, and his words were very awkward. He knew in his heart that Li Jingyuan was upright, and as usual, how could he do something to encroach on it privately?
As soon as Li Wei's words fell, the people around him all laughed, and the person who took the lead pointed at Li Wei with a wooden stick and joked: "Hahaha, do you need a fool like you who doesn't even know your own father to teach us how to do it?" Haha, did you hear it, he called his father uncle, hahaha." ”
Li Wei suddenly became angry, but it was not easy to attack, he knew in his heart that Li Jingyuan would not dare to resist, let alone him, if he was reckless, then it was very likely that their family would no longer be able to survive in Shixi Village.
"Kid, let's go. Li Jingyuan saw Li Wei's anger, afraid that he would suffer, so he stood up and pulled Li Wei to leave.
After half a month of getting along, it's strange to say, Li Wei has a sense of intimacy with this father and daughter in his heart, as if he is really his father and sister. Seeing his father being beaten, how could he not be angry? It's just that he had no choice but to clench his fists, and a sense of powerlessness arose.
"Want to go? Hmph! You have already taken an extra portion of yesterday's prey, how to calculate this account!"
"Come back, come back. The people around him coaxed.
In front of his children, Li Jingyuan was full of embarrassment for a while, Li Wei saw that their family was already a family with four walls, how could there be anything else, and Li Jingyuan only took his own share a few days ago, according to Yun Mo, a beast should be distributed to more than 30 families. There is no more than half of what they said, but the other party is obviously deliberate, and there is no excuse for wanting to add to the crime.
"Poor people are bullied everywhere. Li Wei sighed in his heart, but he was helpless.
"What are you yelling about early in the morning?" At this moment, three or four servants came over with a young man in his twenties, who was holding a white paper fan, and asked arrogantly without looking at Li Wei and his gang.
Seeing this, the man led by Wu Tang immediately changed his clothes, put down the stick in his hand, ran over quickly in small steps, and said to the young man who came: "Young Master Yue Fei, why did you come here so early, the villain is rude." Just because this Li Jingyuan encroached on official business, he gave a small lesson to show punishment, but unexpectedly disturbed the young master, the villain should die, damn. ”
"Young Master Yue Fei..."Li Jingyuan also bent down and bowed.
Yun Mo also saluted, and seeing that Li Wei didn't move, he whispered in his ear: "Bai Yue Fei is the only son of this martial hall master, and we saw it in the sea of flowers last time. ”
"Fool, you see that Yue Fei Gongzi actually doesn't salute, are you looking for death!" Wu Tang took the lead The young man didn't say a word, picked up the wooden stick, aimed it at the top of his head, and Li Wei couldn't dodge.
"Young master is angry, my son has not been stupid for a day or two, please don't let him know in general. Seeing this, Li Jingyuan pushed Li Wei away, and the wooden stick was slashing on the top of Li Jingyuan's head, and blood ran down his forehead. Li Jingyuan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Bai Yuefei.
Li Wei and Yun Mo hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Li Jingyuan didn't dare to get up, since the last incident, Li Wei was extremely disgusted with Bai Yuefei.
Bai Yuefei snorted and said slowly: "You are not small, you dare to act recklessly in front of me, no one in this Shixi Village who I want to fight has dared to come forward, shouldn't I teach my son a lesson for you?"
This Shixi Village is completely controlled by the Baiyue clan, where does Li Jingyuan dare to say half a word, in this world, it is completely respected by martial arts, civilians are not qualified to practice martial arts, and those who are not completely obedient to the Baiyue clan, without exception, all died in the daily routine hunting operations.
Li Wei was already angry to the extreme at this time. Not to mention whether Li Jingyuan is his father or not, in this simple day or so, Yun Mo and Li Jingyuan have left a deep impression on him. Li Jingyuan was obviously very afraid of Baiyue Fei in his heart, but when he saw that he was beaten, he still stood up without hesitation, which is a manifestation of deep family affection.
The corners of Bai Yuefei's mouth rose, swept over the people present, and finally landed on Yun Mo, closed the paper fan, and said indifferently: "It's good to know your mistakes, your family of three will have no labor force in the future, then life will become a problem in the future, you have also lived here for decades, and you also know the rules of Shixi Village, there are no idlers here." In this way, Miss Yun Mo will move to Baiyue Mansion in the future, and I will be merciful to support your family. ”
Even a fool can understand the meaning of these words, this Bai Yue Fei seems to have been eyeing Yun Mo for a long time, but there is no excuse, how can he let go of such an opportunity today.
Yun Mo took two steps back when he heard this, and his face was pale.
"Young master, I will definitely recover, give me a few days, I can still go into the mountains to hunt. I beg the young master to forgive us for putting ..."
Without waiting for Li Jingyuan to finish speaking, the servant next to Bai Yue Fei kicked Li Jingyuan's broken arm on the shoulder, and Li Jingyuan, who was in pain, screamed, and the man scolded loudly: "I have said a long time ago, Young Master Yue Fei has taken a fancy to your girl, that is your blessing, you pariahs, even your life is Wutang, you don't know what to do?"
Yun Mo couldn't hold back anymore at this time, hugging Li Jingyuan, who was rolling on the ground, tears were like rain, Chu Chu was pitiful, and his eyes were even more moving.
"Listen, give you two choices, first, let Yun Mo serve Young Master Yue Fei, second, you cut off the supply today and wait to starve to death, you also know the rules of Shixi Village, those who dare to escape without permission will be killed. The man continued to scold.
"Bold, how can you treat the villagers like this? How can I Bai Yue Fei be the one who bullies men and women?" Bai Yue Fei reprimanded the subordinate, and the man lowered his head and retreated.
Bai Yue flew over, squatted in front of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Miss Yun Mo is frightened, blame me for not disciplining my subordinates strictly, I will definitely punish her severely when I go back." Well, if you go back with me, I will not treat you badly. ”
Yun Mo lowered his head and shook vigorously, tears dripped on his clothes, Bai Yue Fei saw that Yun Mo was silent, and said: "You don't want to, and I can't force it, but your father has to continue to hunt in the mountains, so that your family will not starve to death, but hunting is risky You know, I don't dare to guarantee that a waste person will not have any accidents, and it will be too late for you to regret it." ”
"I'll go. I'll go with you into the mountains. ”
"No, I can't. Yun Mo and Li Jingyuan shouted at the same time.
It was Li Wei who spoke. Li Wei has never done anything big when he is so old, but in the face of today's situation, he feels that he should stand up, since their father and daughter see themselves as hope, then he should not let them down. People must have a reason to live. Li Wei understood that although it was dangerous to enter the mountain, he should also do something, and he was tired of the past experience. Either a vigorous life or a miserable death, how can people who have already died once not see through the world?
"Huh?" Bai Yue Fei saw that Yun Mo didn't answer for a long time, and his eyes gradually narrowed into a slit. Seeing Li Wei speak again, he stood up, flicked his sleeves and went into the martial hall, and before leaving, he didn't forget to turn around and give the young man who took the lead in the martial hall a look.
"I really don't know how thick the sky is, but if you've been stupid for a long time, it's hard to wake up. Tomorrow morning, meet here. I'll let you know how wrong your choice was. The man smiled grimly, beckoned, and led the crowd into the hall.
With the power of the Baiyue clan, it is completely possible to refuse on the grounds that Li Wei is stupid, but this seems to be too forcible and robbed, since ancient times, the more villains will cover up their despicable behavior. gave Yun Mo pressure, and also disguised himself, in Bai Yuefei's opinion, in this way, Yun Mo will definitely obey.
Li Jingyuan's father and daughter were humiliated, and begging in this case had long been useless, Li Wei and the two returned to the hut, but none of them spoke along the way. A few people understood that this matter was probably irreparable, and Li Wei also had a general understanding of this place, this place somehow seemed to be a dead land, with endless snowfields in the northwest and endless barren forests in the southeast, it was impossible to leave, otherwise he would not have made this decision.
"Worry, why are you so impulsive? You know that they are blackmailing Yun Mo, why do you still fall into their trap. ”
Li Jingyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Because they are strong, we are weak, and we can't escape if we are targeted by them. I can't give up my relatives, didn't you be able to make a place here with your own ability?I believe that I can too, even if they hold a grudge today, I don't think they will blatantly harm me, right?" Li Wei paced to the door, his eyes were full of determination, the breeze blew, and two strands of long hair fluttered in the wind.
