Chapter 7: The Contradiction Between the Two Heroes
As for me, I lived with my father in Liushi Village, and the widow Wu next door to my house lived alone with her son Wu Bo. The two masters once said that my father was a person who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and I don't know if it was or not, but my father did only steal money from the rich, and would often help Widow Wu's mother and son, which made me suspect that my father and Widow Wu also had a leg.
I don't know if Wu Bo's father disciplined him before his death, but he did look like a child who lacked discipline. As for me, although I am a thief who started small, I usually behave well in front of others, but Wu Bo is different, his favorite thing is to throw stones at people's window paper in the middle of the night when the two of them are making love.
After going back and forth, there was a big difference between me and his treatment in the neighborhood, I was always praised, and he was looked down upon all day long, and anyone who saw him would spit on him. We don't know what he thinks, but he seems to have taken all this as my fault, so he began to take revenge on me frantically, throwing stones at me in broad daylight, and he would come to make trouble of whatever I did, such as my dad taking me to peek at my mother in the shower and sucking the stones from behind us from behind.
Every time Wu Bo tried to run away after making trouble, he would be caught by my dad and asked him why he was making trouble, he would make a "bah" sound, and then wipe a handful of snot before he began to speak: "We are not good people, why are you praised and I am disliked? I hate you!" Because of his words, I always suspected that he knew the true identity of me and my father.
I say this, not to say that this book is going to lead to a bloody plot with tired memories, but I haven't figured out one thing: the person who said that he could cure this plague was Wu Bo.
After Wu Bo sent out this news, he began to sell medicine throughout the city, and the price of medicine was ten taels and one pair, which was particularly expensive. According to him, this is already at cost price, and he is willing to give the medicine to everyone for free, but if he doesn't collect money, he won't be able to get the medicine from outside. Even so, the people bought medicine from him.
I also took Wu Bo's medicine, it really worked, I took three doses, and my illness was cured. Wang Nan is the same, after taking the medicine, he will be fine.
There was a second hero in the county, and Wu Bo's limelight even overshadowed me, when I caught bandits and killed the county magistrate only to avenge some people, but Wu Bo almost saved everyone's lives. However, since we in Kyushu have always helped the people, they have not forgotten me. I don't know which genius it is, but he also called me and Wu Bo "Wu Li Qian, Medicine Wu Bo". I heard that another neighbor of mine, Mrs. Sun, now sits at the entrance of the village all day, and when she sees people, she says things like "I saw that these two children were promising". There are also rumors from the outside world that Wu Bo and I have a good relationship, and everyone seems to think that Wu Bo and I are two good young people with similar interests. Only in this way can their fantasies about heroes be satisfied.
So, under the spontaneous organization of the people, in order to celebrate Qingping County's crisis again, Wu Bo and I were arranged together, and four people were carried by each of them, and marched through the streets, so that the people could see these two people who had saved the entire county.
The scene was really big, and we sat in silver seats, carried by eight of the strongest men in the county. In front of us were ten young girls, all of whom carried a pot of flower petals and sprinkled them on the road they were walking. There was also a person behind my seat carrying a big banner with the words "Suppress bandits and destroy evil officials and guards", and Wu Bo's face read "Eliminate the plague and save the world, the holy hand and divine doctor", and I always felt that Wu Bo's handwriting was much better than mine.
We were sent to Fengyi Lou, the largest restaurant in the county, and the head of each village and the head of our county were responsible for entertaining us (of course, the county magistrate was not happy to entertain me).
Wu Bo and I were arranged to sit in the upper seat, and then the county magistrate, the old village chief of Liushi Village, this old man, by virtue of my and Wu Bo's fame, his status among the village chiefs has risen a lot, and his face is full of spring, looking at me and Wu Bo with a smile, with a look of relief.
They were all seated, and the village chiefs all looked at the county magistrate complimentally, and the county magistrate looked awkward, and I saw a village chief glaring at him again. I guess they have already discussed letting the county magistrate take the lead in saying some polite words, but the county magistrate, I'm afraid it's the same as me, I don't know he will come, and he doesn't know that I will come.
Sure enough, when the village chief couldn't open his eyes and tears began to flow out, the county magistrate finally raised his glass and stood up, saying: "Everyone here knows that our Qingping County can have stability today thanks to two heroes, Wu Bo," he pointed at Wu Bo with a smile, and raised his hand reluctantly, "Li Yi." Then he immediately put his hand down, "Here, on behalf of the people of the county, I would like to express my gratitude to the two heroes!" All the village chiefs also said, "Thank you!" and then raised their glasses to me and Wu Bo.
After the first glass of wine, the village chiefs asked the village chief of Liushi Village to babble a few words, the old village chief held back a smile, shirked for a long time before standing up, and choked because he finally couldn't hold back the laughter, and said in the laughter of everyone: "Li Yi, Wu Bo," he pointed to us separately, "These two children, I have seen them grow up since childhood." He spread his hand inward again, waved his hand, and said, "It is said that three years old is young, and seven years old is old." As for me, I've always seen that these two children have a future, I used to say that these two children will be the ones who will become great things in the future, what's the matter, let me say it, right?"
I listened to him say something that had never happened before, and laughed with the others, Wu Bo echoed beside him: "Yes, the village chief has always been very good to us, and every time he bought meat, he would give us some shares, do you remember?"
I nodded perfunctorily: "Remember, remember." At this time, the food came up, and I used my chopsticks to the table and said, "Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables" to hide my embarrassment.
Everyone began to eat and drink, and talked a lot in the middle, from the interesting stories of me and Wu Bo when I was a child, which I didn't know, to the vision of the old village chief, how many talents he had seen, and who was the ancestor of a certain dynasty and generation (I am curious about how they led these topics).
I don't know how long I drank, I started to get drunk, and suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder, and I looked back and saw that it was Wu Bo.
For the sake of face, I smiled at Wu Bo, Wu Bo directly wrapped his arms around my neck and said to me: "I heard that your wife was killed in front of you some time ago, Brother Li, you haven't left home yet, right?"
I put away my smile and nodded with a calm face, Wu Bo laughed twice, "How about it, do you want my brother to introduce you to one?" I know many beautiful girls from serious families, and they are all willing to marry Brother Li, how about it?"
How long has it been since Su Su died that he would say such a thing to me! I gritted my teeth and nodded: "Then there is Brother Lao Wu." ”
"Hahaha! Just our friendship, it should be!But-" Wu Bo changed his words, "This time, you have to look at others, don't let people kill your wife in front of you, hahaha...... Watching others kill their wives, do you say that you have trouble in your heart? hahaha......"
"Bang!"
I couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed Wu Bo's shirt and pressed him to the ground......
