Chapter 11 Affection
The wind and rain are still there, but the fire has not weakened by the rain, Xu Wu strolled outside Dujiazhuang, at this time there were already scattered many people, these people were wandering around Dujiazhuang, but these people did not say hello but searched for something.

Xu Wu knew that these must be the nearby Jianghu forces, after all, Xiang Dujiazhuang, a well-known Jianghu force on the rivers and lakes, the entire Zhuangzi was destroyed, it must be a big case on the rivers and lakes, I don't know if the Jianghu General Alliance will send people to come.
Du Chuke I hero, known as the timely rain on the rivers and lakes, fighting righteousness and squandering wealth, I don't know how many people in the rivers and lakes have received his gifts over the years, once this matter spreads in the rivers and lakes, it will inevitably cause an uproar.
Xu Wu wasn't sure if Du Jiao's being taken away by the Shi family had anything to do with the Du family's annihilation, but he always had a bad premonition.
Under the fire, it was just a ruin, and he couldn't see anything at all, so Xu Wu was observing carefully, although he hadn't learned to investigate, he always remembered.
[No matter how seamless the crime is, as long as it is done by people, there is no reason that cannot be solved. -- Sherlock Holmes
At this time, he could at least be sure that Du Jiazhuang was destroyed first, and then set a fire, otherwise it was impossible for no one to escape from this fire, Du Chuke was also a master of the Ten Heavens of the Realm, and this fire could not trap him at all.
Early the next morning, Xu Wu took a package from his white horse and carried it behind him, and then headed in the direction of Shi's house, where he took Du Jiao away last night, and Xu Wu felt that it was his duty to let this girl return to freedom.
Thinking of the teacher's explanation in the history class of that time and space, how can a girl like Du Jiao who dares to escape marriage also be a pioneer in opposing feudal etiquette.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Wu felt that what he was doing now was a great cause, and he went all the way and found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in this Fengzhou city, because everyone had a happy look on their faces, as if something great good was about to come.
Xu Wu couldn't help but pull someone and asked: "I saw that everyone in the city was happy, could it be that there was any great joy in Fengzhou City."
I only heard the man say: "It's the second son of the Shi family, Young Master Shi Chengjie, who wants to marry, and everyone thinks that this is a great joy in Fengzhou City."
Xu Wu's face was ugly, he didn't expect the Shi family to be so popular in Fengzhou City, he knew that these Jianghu families were the most famous local squires with deep wealth, but he didn't expect that the prestige of the Shi family would reach such a level.
But Xu Wu still didn't stop, when he came to the door of Shi's courtyard, he didn't wait as he imagined, but Shi Chengjie stood outside the door with a smile on his face, as if waiting for Xu Wu's arrival.
Sure enough, when Shi Chengjie saw Xu Wu's arrival, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he stepped forward and said, "Brother Xu came just in time, brother, I've been waiting here for a long time, please come in."
Xu Wu looked at Shi Chengjie with a smile on his face, and his doubts were even heavier, he still knew the saying that there must be a demon when something went wrong, but he glanced at the package behind him and walked in without fear.
Shi Chengjie led Xu Wu all the way, saying something from time to time, but Xu Wu didn't say a word, no matter what he said, Xu Wu was silent.
[Explicitly despising someone, it is not full contempt. But silence is the highest contempt, and the highest contempt is silence, and not even the eyeballs are taken away. - Lu Xun]
Shi Chengjie was already furious, thinking that this was an insult to himself, but he had to endure it when he remembered the family business.
It wasn't until he entered the living room that Xu Wu said straightforwardly, "What did you do to Du Jiao, I want to take her away."
This is extremely arrogant, when I go to someone else's house, the owner of the house has been with me, and I don't say a word, but I say: "Where is your fiancée, I will take her away."
How can you endure this kind of words, that is, a scheming guy like Shi Chengjie, a trace of anger appeared on his face, but he was forced to press down, and said: "Jiaojiao is a fiancée, and a big gift will be held soon, Jiaojiao has always been obsessed with your eldest brother, and said that Brother Xu must be a witness at the wedding."
Xu Wu frowned, hearing this, Du Jiao was willing to marry Shi Chengjie, Xu Wu didn't know why, but he always felt that this matter was wrong, since he didn't say it to him, "Du Jiao wants to marry you, I want to see her and ask clearly, if anyone dares to use unsightly means, don't blame Xu for being ruthless."
Shi Chengjie's face changed again, he had already found out the details of Xu Wu, but he was a kid who had just entered the rivers and lakes, and he had no background, he was so arrogant in his words and actions, could he really survive in the rivers and lakes, even if the Shi family didn't deal with him, he would definitely die.
Shi Chengjie labeled Xu Wu as a naïve in his heart, which was exactly what Xu Wu wanted.
Shi Chengjie said: "Jiaojiao is in the backyard, since Brother Xu is Jiaojiao's eldest brother, it is natural to see him if you want to."
There is a lotus pond in the backyard of Shi's house, and there is a small pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond, and in the small pavilion sits a woman in a white dress, who has her back to Xu Wu and his party, not knowing what she is thinking.
Xu Wu took a step forward and shouted, "Du Jiao."
The figure was suddenly shocked, and then turned his head, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and then returned to normal, walked towards Xu Wu, and bowed down to Xu Wu, Xu Wu hurriedly stepped forward to hold her, but remembering that this was the Shi family after all, he stopped halfway with his hand stretched out.
I only heard Du Jiao say: "Du Jiao meets the eldest brother."
Xu Wu then understood that Du Jiao wanted to recognize himself as a big brother, glanced at Du Jiao, who had changed into women's clothes, and found that she was delicate and cute, and it was not impossible to be his sister, Xu Wu stepped forward to help Du Jiao and said: "Sister, please get up."
This era is not the era before Xu Wu, in that era, recognizing an elder brother and sister was an ulterior secret, and the godfather and goddaughter were even more pronouns of unbearable.
Even when Shi Chengjie saw this, he slowly retreated, after all, the name was set, and Xu Wu would not mess around. Although he hated Xu Wu, he still admired Xu Wu's personality very much.
When Shi Chengjie withdrew, Xu Wu opened his mouth and said, "Sister, why are you?"
Before Xu Wu finished speaking, Du Jiao spoke: "Brother, Du Jiao is the daughter-in-law of the Shi family, this is a family affair set by my father, and now that my parents are gone, I don't want to go against their wishes."
Xu Wudao: "But what made you change your mind, if the Shi family persecuted you, you tell the eldest brother, the eldest brother will kill him upside down and seek justice for you."
When Du Jiao heard Xu Wu's words, tears had already flowed in her eyes, and she only heard her say: "Although I have only been friends with my eldest brother for a few days, I know that my eldest brother is a human being, but Du Jiao is indeed not coerced, and I invite my eldest brother here today to hope that my eldest brother will preside over the wedding for Du Jiao, so as not to make people look down on my sister."
Xu Wu glanced at Du Jiao and said, "My sister, who in the world dares to despise it."
Du Jiao didn't understand the weight of this sentence, and it wasn't until many years later that she understood that the man's sister in front of her was indeed despised by no one in the world.
