Seven or eight days have passed since the beginning of the Dabi of the Eighteen Clans in April, and the previously peaceful Wujiabao has not stopped for a day.

Wu Meng's unexpected victory.

The arrogance of the little overlord Wu Gang almost caused a tragedy of cannibalism.

Who is the mysterious person who shot down the blades in the hands of Wu Fan and Wu Yi at a critical moment.

The man in gray who suddenly appeared.

The lost big green cattle.

The accidental death of Wu Zheng's grandmother.

and Wu Zheng, a cattle herding baby who fled in fear of crime.

Just when the streets and alleys were still discussing the above things, the patriarch suddenly said: Because Wu Zheng lost the big green cow, it was decided after discussion that Wu Zheng's old house would be paid to the clan. If someone is willing to pay the price of the big green cow, then the old house of Wu Zheng's family will belong to whom.

It is obviously cost-effective to exchange a cow for a house with a single courtyard. Just when many people were about to move, the patriarch spoke again: Wu Lishan has sent fifteen taels of silver to the clan at the market price, and from then on, Wu Zheng's old house belongs to Wu Lishan.

For the price of the big green cow for fifteen taels of silver, it is also a reasonable price, so everyone has no opinion. There is an opinion, why did you give it to Wu Lishan without making a sound?

Despite the opinions in their hearts, no one dared to question them in front of the patriarch. The relationship between Wu Lishan and the patriarch, as well as Wu Jizong and Wu Jixue, no one in the clan does not know. Even, there are rumors in private that Wu Lishan is actually the illegitimate son of the patriarch Wu Youren.

Of course, similar rumors naturally did not reach the ears of Wu Youren and Wu Lishan.

Wu Lishan in the past two days can be described as very proud.

Obeying the patriarch's arrangement, secretly took the big green cow found in Dongshan to the outside market and sold it, and after coming back and handing over the money for selling the cattle, Wu Liwei suggested that Wu Zheng's old house be given to Wu Lishan as a reward, and the patriarch Wu Youren, as well as Wu Jizong and others immediately nodded in agreement. So there was a statement from the patriarch who spoke twice in succession.

Wu Lishan, who was beautiful, asked a craftsman to take a look at the courtyard of Wu Zheng's old house on April 28, and after deciding on the renovation plan, he invited the head of the craftsman to drink the starting wine that night, and prepared to convene people to work early the next morning.

Wu Lishan, who was drunk, was excited in his heart, and after seeing off the guests, he carried a lantern and slowly came to the door of Wu Zheng's house again. Walking around the courtyard wall outside, the more I thought about it, the more proud I became, just by running an errand, I could get a house for nothing, such a good thing is not something that anyone can encounter.

Then he pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the courtyard, and looked around again, seeing that he seemed to be planning to enter the house to take a second look. Standing outside the door for a moment, he finally reached out and opened the door, raised his legs and walked in.

After a general glance in the hall, I felt that against the Eight Immortals table in the north wall, the two Taishi chairs were quite good.

He turned around and walked towards the west room, and just lifted the door curtain and stepped in halfway through, when he suddenly heard a soft sound: Bang!

When he looked down, the lantern in his hand had been broken, and the oil that flowed out of it burned rapidly, igniting the curtain in his hand that he had not had time to put down.

If Wu Lishan hadn't suddenly remembered the weapons that were shot down in the hands of Wu Fan and Wu Yi on the third day of the ring match, he would definitely be able to react in time, and he also knew what to do: just tear down the burning door curtain and cover it on the lamp oil, which is not too much, and two or three feet can extinguish the fire.

However, Wu Lishan listened to Wu Zheng say in the discussion room on the side of the ancestral hall: It was he who shot down the Qingyu Sword and handguard hook in the hands of Wu Fan and Wu Yi in a hurry. It was Wu Lishan himself and Wu Chun who carried the iron cage containing the dying Wu Zheng and threw it into the pond of Water Snake Bay.

Wu Lishan, who was suddenly creepy, where could he still maintain his usual calm, and immediately shouted: Mom——!

Throw down the curtain in your hand, and the lantern that has been broken, turn around and run.

In a hurry, he was tripped by the threshold of Wu Zheng's house and almost fell into the courtyard, Wu Lishan was even more scared in his heart. By the time he ran home, Wu Zheng's only three north houses had already burst into flames.

Because the neighbors all knew that the house had been mastered by the patriarch and given to Wu Lishan, the people who were already unbalanced in their hearts naturally would not take the initiative to come to put out the fire, even if they were shouting and drinking in their mouths, carrying buckets and basins to the street, most of them were pretending. The fire had already spread to the roof, and there was no one in the courtyard of Wu Zheng's house. The people who came to put out the fire were wandering outside the courtyard gate.

If it weren't for the fear that the fire would get out of control and affect the surrounding neighbors, it is estimated that many people might not have come out.

At this moment, someone suddenly saw a black shadow suddenly burst out of the burning house, which seemed to be standing in front of the house engulfed in flames, and hesitated for a while, then climbed over the low courtyard wall on the east side of the courtyard and disappeared into the night in the distance.

It's not that no one guessed from that thin figure that it was very likely to be the so-called Wu Zheng who absconded in fear of crime. It's just that for the accidental death of Wu Zheng's grandmother, as well as the loss of the big green cow without warning, the people in the clan are not all fools, of course they will have suspicions. Who doesn't have pity in his heart? Besides, both grandparents and grandchildren are excellent people to get along with.

It wasn't until Wu Lishan, who ran home, returned to the scene again, and it wasn't until the patriarch Wu Youren came in a hurry that everyone pretended to enter the courtyard, and the three north houses were about to burn down, what fire did they save?

On the contrary, someone comforted Wu Lishan and said:

"That's fine, anyway, it's going to be renovated, and won't it take labor to dismantle it?"

"yes, yes, even if everyone comes to help, they still have to take care of the meal, don't they?"

Hearing everyone's echo, how could Wu Lishan not understand the jealousy in their hearts?

Of course, Wu Lishan is not a person who has no friends or confidants, and among the people who came to fight the fire today, there are also people who are close to Wu Lishan on weekdays, such as Wu Xiaojun. Therefore, after the fire was extinguished, everyone gradually dispersed, and they stepped forward and quietly told Wu Lishan that when the fire spread just now, a thin black shadow that looked like Wu Zheng had burst out of the house.

"Xiaojun, what you said is true?!"

"Of course it's true, a lot of people have seen it. ”

"How did he run away, and where did he run to?"

No one stepped forward to stop him, and the black shadow stood in front of the burning door of the house and was stunned for a moment before he ran away over the courtyard wall to the east. It seems that I went to the ancestral tomb in the north. ”

Not to mention that the ancestral grave is okay, as soon as he talks about the ancestral grave, thinking that Wu Zheng's grandmother was also pushed down by himself before falling to death, Wu Lishan is even more unconfident.

Just looked up at the north side of the fort, Wu Lishan, who was in a worried mood, returned home, lying on the kang but couldn't sleep.

If Wu Zheng is still alive, Wu Lishan is a hundred people who don't believe it.

Even if Wu Zheng is not sunk into the pond, such a serious injury, as long as no one takes care of him, he will definitely not survive for two days. What's more, it was packed in a cage made of iron bars the thickness of a thumb, and sank into the bay of water snakes full of poisonous snakes?

However, since Wu Zheng is dead, who broke the lantern in his hand?

And what Xiaojun said, many people have seen, who is the thin black shadow that came out of Wu Zheng's house?

"Smack!"

There was another familiar sound, and Wu Lishan, who was lying on the kang, sat up like a reflex. It wasn't until then that he reacted, and he had blown out the oil lamp in the room before he came back and lay down.

Just turned his head, the fire outside the window was already raging, and the dry firewood piled up under the eaves was actually on fire.

"Firefighting, firefighting——!"

Wu Lishan ran out of the house with his clothes in his mouth, shouting loudly.
