Chapter V: Decisions
A ray of morning light pierced the night sky, and soon the night gradually faded, and the golden early sun slowly rose from the sky, illuminating the entire Guxiang Village.
Last night, Dang Xiuli, who was worried about not being able to sleep, saw Su Minqiang, who was carried back by Su Yu'er, jumped up almost directly from the kang, and after asking what happened, while scolding Liu Dajiao's family, she hurriedly took medicine to bandage Su Minqiang's wounds, and the mother and son tossed until the second half of the night before returning to the house to rest.
On the other hand, Su Minqiang's face was flushed with the smell of alcohol, and he even snored! It didn't seem like he was knocked unconscious, but it looked like there were more drunks who drank too much.
The morning breeze blew through the villages of Tianhua Town, and what happened in Oolong Village last night finally spread among the crowd.
Because Su Minqiang was sick in bed, today's baked cakes were not made, and Su Yu'er naturally didn't have to carry a wooden box to sell it.
"Little fish, there is no salt at home, you go buy some. ”
Dang Xiuli was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, she shook the jar of salt and shook her head.
"Okay, got it!"
Su Yu'er nodded, took the salt jar handed by Dang Xiuli, then took some money from the small wooden box and went out.
However, before he could go far, the discussion of several villagers in Guxiang Village reached his ears.
"Have you heard? Last night, Liu Dajiao's house in Oolong Village was burned to ashes by someone who doesn't know how!"
"I've heard about it, that Liu Dajiao is relying on himself to be the village chief, and he is doing all kinds of evil, this time it's really happy!"
"Not only was the house burned, but I also heard that the hundreds of sheep he had raised for several years were gone, and he hired half a village to catch only a dozen of them in one night, and the others were either burned to death or couldn't be found!"
Su Yu'er listened to the chatter of a few villagers, and secretly sneered in his heart, when he set the fire for a short time, Liu Dajia took the group of dog legs to fight the fire, and he shouldn't have suffered such a heavy loss, but Su Yu'er expected that Liu Dajiao was a very greedy person, and he would not be able to let go of the burning house, and he was reluctant to let go of the rampaging sheep, tossing back and forth on both sides, and finally both ends were empty!
"That's pretty cheap for you!"
Su Yu'er gritted his teeth and thought that he would never forget the scene when Su Minqiang was beaten.
When he returned home after buying salt, Su Minqiang had already woken up leisurely, and was lying on the bed half-leaning, his entire chest tightly wrapped in bandages.
Dang Xiuli held a bowl of porridge and gently blew it cold and fed it to him.
"Little Fish is back?"
Su Minqiang looked up and saw Su Yu'er, pushed away the spoon handed by Dang Xiuli, and tried to sit up with both hands, but the sharp pain in his chest and back made him frown.
"Well, Dad, you have a good rest and don't move. ”
Su Yu'er put down the salt jar in her hand and hurriedly helped Su Minqiang to lie down.
"I'm fine!"
Su Minqiang waved his hand, paused, and suddenly blushed and whispered.
"You saw it all last night? I heard your mother say that you carried me back. ”
"Isn't your dad very useless? Even to help his son get an explanation, he has to drink to strengthen his courage... , ahem, it's really useless..."
Su Minqiang smiled awkwardly, but he didn't notice Su Yu'er's reddened eyes.
"What are you talking about, Dad, I didn't see anything yesterday, I picked you up at the entrance of our village, how did you get this way?"
Su Yu'er turned his head, and Su Minqiang couldn't see his face.
"By the way, I made an appointment with Erhei and them to play today, and Mom will work hard for you to take care of Dad!"
"Hey, eat some food and then go play!"
Dang Xiuli watched Su Yu'er jumping out of the yard and muttered angrily.
"This kid can't even take care of eating when he plays!"
"Little fish, when we grow up, we are really old. ”
Su Minqiang smiled bitterly and said softly.
"Phew, you're only getting old! My mother will always be eighteen years old!"
Dang Xiuli glanced at Su Minqiang and said through gritted teeth.
"I'm so angry, neither father nor son has one to worry about!"
Su Yu'er walked on the most lively street in Guxiang Village, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the road, and her mood became more and more depressed.
He suddenly remembered the girl in black who helped him drive away the three young men of Oolong.
One man, one sword, and the battle ended between swords and flints.
"If I can have that kind of power..."
Su Yu'er took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the anger against the Liu family in her heart.
"One day, I will kick open the door of your Liu family with dignity, and I want your father and son to kneel in front of me and repent of the sins I did last night!"
He strode across the street and walked towards Erhei and Lao Jiu's house.
On the big grass pile in Guxiang Village, three teenagers were lying shoulder to shoulder, blowing the breeze and basking in the sun, so uncomfortable.
"Xiao Yu'er, is uncle okay?"
Erhei turned his head and asked Su Yu'er.
"It's not a big deal, but I guess I'll need to recuperate for a few days. ”
Su Yu'er sighed and said.
"Those people in the Liu family are unreasonable brutes!"
Lao Jiu snorted angrily and said.
"But yesterday your fire was really good, I heard that Liu Dajia is now sitting in the ruins holding the only dozen bald sheep that are left and crying!"
Erhei patted his chest and smiled.
Su Yu'er shook his head, just letting Liu Dajia lose some property could not offset the anger in his heart, with Liu Dajia's ability to embezzle public funds and squeeze the villagers, it would not be long before he could live back in the big house.
"I've decided, I'm going to take the exam in Xuanwu Hall!"
Su Yu'er said suddenly.
"I'll tell you Liu Dajia's expression at that time, it's just this..."
Erhei, who was learning Liu Dajiao's appearance, was suddenly stunned, and looked at Su Yu'er with an incredible expression.
"You... What did you just say?"
"I said I was going to take the entrance exam for Xuanwu Hall. ”
Su Yu'er stared at Er Hei and Lao Jiu and continued.
"We are seventeen years old this year, and Xuanwutang enrolls students every ten years, and only recruits candidates under the age of eighteen, this is the last chance for us few!"
"Do you want to come with me?"
Su Yu'er looked at the two friends expectantly.
"Su Yu'er, you... Did you take the wrong medicine? Or was it stupid to light the fire yesterday and get smoked?"
Erhei scratched his head and laughed.
"We've heard that Tianhua Town has also taken that exam before, but after so many years, when have you ever seen someone be admitted?"
Lao Jiu also frowned, but did not speak.
"I've seen immortal cultivators, they really exist!"
Su Yu'er said urgently.
"Pull it down, why haven't I seen it, the immortal cultivator is just a legend!"
Erhei waved his hand and said.
"I've really seen it! A few days ago, it was an immortal cultivator who helped me defeat the Oolong Three Shao, and they can also prove it!"
Erhei looked at Su Yu'er's anxious face, shook his head and didn't speak, but his expression was obviously not believing what Su Yu'er said.
"Little fish, I believe in you. ”
Lao Jiu, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.
"Lao Jiu, why are you stupid with him?"
Erhei frowned.
Lao Jiu shook his head and continued.
"Think about it, we have been playing with Xiao Yu'er since we were children, when did he lie to us?"
"Like, it's really not..."
Erhei frowned and thought about it and said.
"Moreover, I don't know how many years it has been since the establishment of the Xuanwu Hall, and the nobles in our Xuanwu Kingdom spend so much money and energy on it every year, how can it be just a joke to fool the world?"
Lao Jiu continued to analyze.
"So, maybe immortal cultivators really exist!"
"That's right, that's right!"
Su Yu'er raised her hands in agreement.
"Of course immortal cultivators exist, I've really seen them!"
