Hearing Jiang Ziya say this, Wu Ji was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but admire: "Just now Wu Ji still laughed at the old man's flying bear, now it seems that the old man is really a great sage, but it is Bukit Meng Lang." ”

Jiang Ziya smiled silently.

Seeing this, Wu Ji arched his hand and said: "Uncle, I'm almost resting, but it's time to go, thank you for the clear water." After saying that, Bukit picked up the firewood on the ground and was about to leave. At this moment, Ziya spoke: "Wu Ji, you and I met today, and it can be regarded as fate. What's more, you and I talked very happily, and the old man couldn't bear to see you in prison, so he gave a word. ”

Hearing this, Wu Ji, who was about to leave, was stunned, and quickly turned around and asked, "Why did the old man say this?"

Jiang Ziya looked at Wu Ji's face, shook his head and sighed lightly: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." The old man can only tell you that you need to be very careful when you enter the city to sell firewood today, because one careless person may hurt people's lives. ”

Wu Ji was stunned, although he was puzzled, but he still thanked him: "Thank you for reminding me, Wu Ji remembered." ”

Seeing Wu Ji leaving, Jiang Ziya sighed slightly - although he had his own reminder, most of the disaster in Bukit could not be avoided, but it was a pity.

But it is said that Bukit picked firewood down the mountain, and he was going to Xiqi City to sell, and unconsciously arrived at the south gate of Xiqi, which coincided with Ji Chang's travel frame, and the guards opened the road along the way, and pedestrians on the road avoided on both sides - this place is at the gate of the city, there are many pedestrians, and it is inevitable to crowd and trample in a hurry, Bukit is tall and strong, although he is not afraid of being squeezed, but after all, he is carrying firewood on his shoulders, and his movement is inconvenient, so he is also squeezed into a shaky figure- And just like that, I don't know if it was Bukit's bad luck, or the bad luck of the guards guarding the city gate, in a flash, the firewood on Bukit's shoulders that was originally tightly tied was suddenly scattered - Bukit relied on firewood for a living, this load of firewood can be said to be the livelihood of him and his old mother at home for a few days, so in a hurry, Bukit was going to pick it up, but as soon as he bent over, the burden on Bukit's shoulders turned, but it just hit the ear of a city gate guard - it actually killed people directly.

Originally, there was a lot of chaos by the city gate because of Ji Chang's carriage, and at this time, someone suddenly died, and it was even more chaotic for a while, and several other guards around hurriedly shouted: "The firewood collector has killed someone, take him down quickly!" Bukit killed someone by mistake, and he was already in a panic, so he naturally didn't dare to resist.

At this moment, Ji Chang's frame happened to arrive at the door, and when he heard that someone had killed someone here, he asked someone to bring it over.

When the guards brought Bukit over, Ji Chang sat in the car and looked at Bukit and asked, "Who are you and why did you kill people?"

Because it was the first time he had seen a big man like Ji Chang, Wu Ji lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Ji Chang, and said in a low voice: "The villain is a good citizen of Xiqi, called Wu Ji. Because he saw the king coming, the road was narrow and narrow, he changed the firewood for his shoulder, and injured someone by mistake, not intentionally killing people, and hoped that the king would see clearly. ”

Hearing that Wu Ji had indeed killed someone, Ji Chang didn't have the heart to ask any more: "Since you killed someone, you will pay for your life." ”

As he spoke, he asked people to take Bukit down.

Wu Ji was imprisoned, and remembering what Jiang Ziya said to himself by the stream, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "If I don't listen to my father-in-law's words, if I don't suspect my father-in-law, if I don't enter Xiqi City today, how can there be such a disaster?

Bukit was in a state of grief, when two jailers came over and came to Bukit's cell, and one of the jailers said, "Brother Bukit, why did you end up in prison? If I hadn't heard Ah Si, I wouldn't have known!"

Hearing the sound, Wu Ji looked up, but they were two childhood playmates, Wang Xiang and Wang Hao, two brothers, but these two happened to be on an errand in prison.

Seeing the two of them, Bukit let out a long sigh and told what happened by the city gate, and then his eyes were slightly red: "I died young, but I pity my old mother, who is seventy years old and has no one to take care of her—I'm afraid my mother doesn't know what happened to me at this time?"

After listening to what Wu Ji said, Wang Xiang hated and said, "Xi Bohou's punishment is too heavy, right?

Hearing this, Wang Hao was shocked, and quickly looked around and found that there was no one else, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, Hou Ye is a sage, no matter what Hou Ye does, it is right, how can there be a mistake? ”

Hearing Wang Hao say this, although Wang Xiang was angry, he also knew that what Wang Hao said was the truth, so he could only nod sullenly - if his words were heard and reported by outsiders, not to mention that he was going to die, his family might also be implicated.

After a moment of silence, Wang Hao suddenly spoke: "Brother Wuji, it's better to be like this, the brothers know that you have been wronged, but Hou Ye will not be wrong, so Hou Ye said that you have to pay for your life, and we are helpless." It's just that the two brothers still have some rights in this prison, and at this time, the eldest mother probably doesn't know that something happened to you, so my two brothers take some risks to let you get out of prison, go and reunite with the eldest mother for a while, and deal with the matter well, but I also hope that the eldest brother Bukit will come back before asking and beheading, so as not to make it difficult for our brothers. And our brother has no father and mother, when I was a child, my mother also took care of our brother, and when the eldest brother went in the future, our brother will naturally take care of the eldest mother as a biological mother, and the eldest brother can rest assured. ”

Hearing Wang Hao say this, Wu Ji naturally knew how much risk the two of them had to take. Looking at Wang Hao with a resolute face, Wu Ji's thousand words could only be condensed into three words: "Good brother!"

With a slight sigh, Wang Hao took the key and opened the prison door: "Without further ado, Brother Bukit should leave quickly." ”

Out of the prison, Wu Ji looked at the two of Wang Xiang and Wang Hao who sent him out, and said heavily: "The two brothers are very kind, Wu Ji is unforgettable." Bukit will definitely come back as soon as possible and will not make it difficult for the two brothers. ”

Wang Haowang glanced at each other: "Brother Bukit is serious. Time is urgent, the eldest brother should hurry up and reunite with the eldest mother. ”

However, he said that Bukit was released from prison, because he was worried about being seen by others, and implicated the two brothers, Wang Xiang and Wang Hao, so he rushed all the way and rushed home. Because he was locked up in prison for half a day, and when Bukit arrived home, it was already evening. Beneath the remnant sun in the west, in the distance, Bukit saw his old mother leaning against the door and waiting for his return.

With a slight sour heart, Bukit ran to the door and fell to the ground: "The child is late, so the mother has been waiting for a long time." ”

Hurriedly helped Bukit up, Bukit's old mother said again and again: "It's okay, it's okay." It's just that where did my son go today, but he came back so late, and he was very uneasy because of his mother's home, and he was afraid that you would be injured by a tiger and wolf in the deep mountains and poor valleys, which would make her mother's suspense fearful. Now that I see you, my heart is broken. ”

Hearing his mother say this, remembering what happened today, Bukit choked up for a while, but he didn't know how to say it.
