Chapter 35: Steward Liu's Mission
"Steward Liu, are you looking for me?"
Wu Hu found Steward Liu, who was cultivating in the Martial Pavilion today, but someone came to inform him, saying that Steward Liu was looking for him to have something.
Seeing Wu Hu, Steward Liu had a smile on his face. He has a good impression of Wu Hu, and he came to Wu Hu this time because he had an errand to hand over to him.
"Well, Miss Qingyi has an errand for you to do." Steward Liu nodded and explained the reason for looking for Wu Hu.
Wu Hu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Li Qingyi to arrange an errand for him.
Although he is now a slave in white, and has become Li Hu's personal servant, it is still not enough in Li Qingyi's eyes.
Seeing Wu Hu's doubts, Steward Liu explained with a smile: "How else to say that Miss Qingyi is kind-hearted, he knows that you have begged Young Master Li Hu many times to let you go home to have a look." So I arranged this errand for you, so you can stop by and go home. ”
Is Li Qingyi kind-hearted?
Wu Hu didn't think so, her fluttering words ruined the hope of the future of the harsh winter, which is not something that a kind-hearted person can do.
As a descendant of the Li Mansion, Li Qingyi has been carefully cultivated since she was a child, and what she does naturally has her intentions.
Wu Hu always felt that there was something wrong, but Li Qingyi was willing to let him go home to see, and he was still very grateful in his heart.
"Steward Liu, what kind of errand?" Wu Hu asked, it must not be easy to think of what he wanted to do.
Steward Liu did not hide it, and informed Wu Hu of the specific content of the errand.
The Li Mansion has a large number of fields in Xima Village, and the people of the entire Xima Village are tenants of the Li Mansion.
Not long ago, wild boars began to flood the mountains near the village of Xima, and many people's houses were washed down, and some people even died.
At that time, I asked the Li Mansion for help, but the Li Mansion had many properties, so how could I care about the life or death of the tenants.
It was only later that the wild boar became more and more rampant, and after coming down the mountain, they ran to the field and spoiled the crops at will, which finally angered the Li family.
In order to ensure that the crops in the field could have a good harvest, the Li Mansion successively sent two martial slaves at the beginning of the Forging Body Realm to solve the problem, but all of them failed without exception.
"Are wild boars so powerful?" Wu Hu was a little surprised, even if it was an ordinary beginner martial artist in the Body Forging Realm, hunting wild boars should no longer be a problem.
How could it be that two martial slaves were sent in succession and failed, this is a bit unreasonable.
"There should be a wild boar king, and it is estimated that he is about to become a demon beast." Steward Liu said that the two martial slaves who went there died there, so he could only speculate.
If that's the case, it all makes sense.
Seeing that Wu Hu didn't speak, Steward Liu thought he was scared and said, "Wu Hu, this is arranged by Miss Qingyi, you have to behave well!" ”
"You know, this job was not your turn, originally Zhao Tong took over this errand for his son. As a result, I don't know where Zhao Tong's good luck came from, and he actually got the tendons of the demon beast red python. This is a good thing to strengthen the muscles and bones, so he gave up this errand and let his son fight the third transformation of muscles and bones with all his might. ”
Zhao Tong's idea was very simple, two martial slaves failed in this task one after another. If his son finishes it, he will naturally be able to highlight his own ability, so he will take on this errand.
It's just that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and the tendons of the red-striped python are not easy to preserve, so Zhao Qiang can only go to retreat and cultivate, impacting the third transformation of muscles and bones.
"Zhao Tong's son is really powerful, not to mention that he has completed two transformations early. Now that you have the tendons of the red python, it is a sure thing to complete the three transformations of the muscles and bones, and the future prospects are limitless! ”
Then he patted Wu Hu and said, "Wu Hu, don't be discouraged. You and Zhao Qiang can't compare, but others can't compare to you. ”
In Steward Liu's opinion, even if Wu Hu had the Tiger Bone Pill and the Meat Lingzhi rewarded by Li Qingyi, he could only make up for the shortcomings in martial arts.
But the cost of cultivation on weekdays, the gap between this is not something that Wu Hu can make up, and it is normal for him to be unable to compare to Zhao Qiang.
But Wu Hu can endure hardships, and he will have a future in the future.
What Steward Liu said was his sincere words, and he was also optimistic about Wu Hu, but he didn't think he could compare with Zhao Qiang.
After all, Zhao Tong is good at business in the house, and he has saved a lot of net worth.
Wu Hu smiled, didn't take the words, but asked, "Steward Liu, then when will I leave?" ”
"The sooner the better, and the harvest in the fields is guaranteed." Steward Liu told him that only the crops are the most important, and this is the property of the Li family. As for the rest, it doesn't matter.
Wu Hu naturally knew the meaning of these words, and on this trip, he must get rid of the wild boars that came down the mountain to harm the crops. As for the lives of the tenants, don't care, anyway, there is no shortage of tenants in the Li Mansion.
After getting the certificate of visiting relatives and the certificate of the mission from Steward Liu, Wu Hu set off directly and went straight to Xima Village.
On the way, he had to pass by his hometown Wujia Village, so he could stop by and go home to have a look.
Wujia Village is located in the east of Xinping Town and is a large village with more than 200 households.
Almost all the people in the village are surnamed Wu, and every family is more or less related to each other. There is an ancestral hall in the village, and the village chief is the current patriarch of the Wu family, and he is also the only master in the village.
Wujia Village has been farming for generations, but most people have lost their land.
Their land was sold to the only man in the village and became tenants, and only a few of them still kept their own land.
Wu Tieniu is one of the few people who own land, and his family originally had ten acres of fertile land, working day and night, barely enough to make a living for his family.
But a few years ago, he learned that spending money could make his eldest son who was sold into the Li Mansion practice martial arts, so he resolutely sold his five acres of land.
In the eyes of outsiders, his approach is purely a brain disease. What does a son who sold himself into slavery care about, it is better to keep the field.
But Wu Tieniu always thought that when there was a famine back then, the eldest son took the initiative to sell himself in exchange for silver taels for him to sleep and eat.
He felt ashamed of his eldest son too much, and he did this just to seek peace of mind.
"How sensible the tiger baby is, when he was studying in the village school, even the master who taught praised him for his intelligence. If it weren't for the famine, maybe he would have been admitted to Xiucai by now. As soon as he thought of this, Wu Tieniu hated himself for not being capable.
Why do some families still have food and drink in disaster years, but they can only sell their children and daughters when they encounter them?
Hey, it's all because I don't have the ability.
"Dad, if you save this money, you should be able to survive this disaster year. Don't sell your family's land until you have to, otherwise you won't be able to live. ”
Thinking of the last words of his eldest son before parting, Wu Tieniu couldn't help crying when he sat in the courtyard of his home.
With a bang, the courtyard door was pushed open.
A short and fat man walked in, and when he saw Wu Tieniu sitting on the ground wiping his tears, he shouted unceremoniously: "Brother-in-law, how are you thinking about it, is this land still for sale?" ”
