Chapter Eighty-Seven: Forced Marriage
The two of them huddled in the crowd, listening to the whispers of everyone, and slowly understood what was going on.
It turned out that when Chouyin intersected in the second half of the night, a group of six people carried the seriously injured man and knocked on the door of Yun Langzhong's house, saying that he was lost in the night and accidentally fell from the Falling Soul Cliff. Because when he brought it, the injured man was already angry and his life was hanging by a thread, and after all kinds of treatment in Yun Langzhong, there has been no improvement so far.
Although Yun Langzhong repeatedly said that he could not do anything, the six seemed to know that it was too late to seek medical treatment elsewhere, so they threatened Yun Langzhong that if they could not save their brother, they would go on a killing spree.
"How can this be true, where is there such a person seeking medical treatment?!"
All the onlookers were upset for the elderly Yunlang. But because of the jealousy of the identity of the six people who seemed to be martial arts practitioners, no one dared to step forward and speak up.
When Wu Zheng heard this, although he was also very angry at the unreasonable behavior of the six people, he was hindered by his current physical condition, let alone fighting, even if he used a little more force, he would be in pain and sweat, so he had to choose to endure it for the time being.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that you don't do your best. As a Langzhong, it is his duty to save lives and help the wounded. How could you have been seriously injured, not only was the snake venom in the body, but also injured the internal organs due to the fall from a height, and none of the limbs were intact, almost all of them were broken. Hard injuries are not good at this, not to mention that snake venom has already entered the heart, even if Hua Tuo is alive, I am afraid that there is no power to return to heaven. At the beginning, I would like to advise you to ask for another master, but ....... ”
"Old immortal, shut up Lao Tzu. ”
One of them, a big man close to Yun Langzhong and carrying a ghost-headed knife, raised his hand and pushed one of the elderly Yun Langzhong.
"If our boss dies here today, your family won't want to live. ”
These words were said by a big man with his back to the door, his hands on his chest, and a long sword on his back, which was the voice that Wu Zheng and Chen Min had just heard when they came to the street. It's just that the tone is much calmer.
Hearing similar words again, I couldn't help but make the onlookers suspicious.
"Why are they holding the lives of Yun Langzhong's family at risk?"
"yes? ”
While everyone was talking, a voice suddenly said something that made everyone suddenly realize.
"These people can't be here for Yun Lan, the youngest daughter of the Yun Lang family, right?"
Yun Lan's name, Wu Zheng has heard from Chen Min more than once. Moreover, Chen Min's tone was full of envy whenever he mentioned Yun Lan. According to Chen Min's words, Yun Lan was almost the most beautiful girl within a hundred miles, and even the most beautiful girl Chen Min could hear.
Yun Lan, who is only twelve years old this year, is the youngest child in Yun Lang's family. There are six brothers on it, so everyone in the family treats her as a baby, and Yun Lan herself is also very competitive. has been smart and clever since he was a child, whether he is reading or studying to be popular, all of them will be able to learn. When she was ten years old, she was already slim and generous, and she did not have the short-sighted manners of a peasant girl, but was more like a famous lady from a family.
Under the fame, matchmakers come to the door almost every day, and the men who come to propose marriage are all famous families in the vicinity. Even the big families in the county seat of Chuyun County, which are two hundred miles away, have specially come to propose marriage.
However, no matter what kind of family came to propose, Yun Langzhong and his wife, who regarded their daughter as their heart's meat, politely refused on the grounds that their daughter was still young and should not be married too early.
Sure enough, the black-clad man who had been standing with his back to the gate spoke again.
"If you don't want the whole family to give us the eldest funeral, it's not impossible to negotiate. ”
Hearing this, Yun Langzhong, who had always been trembling and bending over and hanging his hands beside the injured man on the stretcher, seemed to see hope, and couldn't help but raise his head, eagerly waiting for the other party's next step.
"I have heard for a long time that Yun Lanfang is famous, and the head of our Sword Sect intends to marry her as a concubine. If you agree to this family business, everything can be discussed. ”
Unexpectedly, someone would put forward such a condition, Yun Langzhong was stunned for a moment, and then his gray head shook like a rattle, and he said in a loud voice:
"No, no, absolutely not. ”
"Hmph, it's up to you to decide. ”
A man who had pushed Yun Lang just now snorted angrily and said.
"Today, the right to come to make a decision, three days later, the sedan chair of the Sword Gate will come to the door to marry the newlyweds. ”
With that, the man in black, who was standing with his back to the gate, turned and left, and with a wave of his hand, four of them lifted the stretchers on the ground and followed closely behind him. The other man in black who spoke just now took out a pair of twenty taels of gold ingots from his arms, threw them on the ground, and glared at Yun Langzhong again before turning around and walking a few steps to follow.
Coincidentally, everyone gave a way to a group of six people, and watched the figures of the six people go away, most of the onlookers left one after another, and those who usually walked closer to Yun Langzhong's family stayed, intending to comfort Yun Langzhong's family.
When Wu Zheng and Chen Min saw this, they were embarrassed to enter the door again to borrow some medical books, so they had to go home behind everyone.
Naturally, the six of them made a lot of noise just now, although Chen Liang and his wife did not rush to see it, and they also heard some sporadic clips. After seeing Wu Zheng and the two come back, they couldn't help but ask a few questions. When Chen Min finished talking about what he had just seen, Chen Liang asked in surprise:
"Do they really call themselves Sword Gate?"
"Yes, uncle. What kind of sect is this Sword Sect, and why is it so domineering?"
"Ahem, what kind of sword gate, it was originally a nest of bandits entrenched in the Black Wind Mountain, who robbed homes and houses nearby all the year round, doing evil. Since more than 20 years ago, several martial arts people went to the mountain, and because they were worried about being requisitioned and suppressed by the government, they established their own sect as the Sword Gate. Although he is among the martial arts sects, he is still a bandit's habit, bullying men and women is all evil. ”
"Doesn't anyone dare to care?"
"Who cares? The emperor is far away, and the government doesn't take them seriously. As for the various sects in the martial arts, they are all wise and self-protective, and they will not cause trouble easily. Otherwise, it will not make Heifeng Village bigger day by day. ”
Chen Liang's words couldn't help but remind Wu Zheng of what the Iron Sword Sect had done, and he didn't care about it when he saw that the disciples in the door were put on death row. Obviously, what Uncle Chen Liang said is not false.
Since his father went missing, Wu Zheng, who was fed up with the grievances, couldn't see such an injustice the most, but the sword gate said that he would come to greet his relatives in three days, but he couldn't think of a way to relieve the siege for Yun Langzhong's family in a hurry.
Wu Zheng, who couldn't sleep at night and got up to exercise, deliberately made a detour when he went to the village stream to wash his sweat-soaked clothes, and when he passed the street where Yunlangzhong's house was located, he found that the yard was still brightly lit.
It is estimated that the time should be ugly, and Wu Zheng can also understand the mood of the family at this time. Whoever does this will not be able to sleep peacefully.
