1847 The background of the Wu family(1/2)
Ding Ning said nothing and listened patiently to Uncle Li's story.
"Li Weiwei was from Heishui County, Linjun County. There was a flood in the Heishui River that year. Li Weishi's family members all died in the flood, but he was the only one who escaped with his life."
Uncle Li took a puff from his dry pipe and said slowly.
"He survived on his own? What about Mei Niang?"
Ding Ning was keenly aware of the meaning of his words and asked promptly.
"Meiniang is a little girl that Li met when he was escaping from famine. Her family also died in the flood. She was all alone and helpless. Maybe because of the same fate, Li Wu adopted her and regarded her as his own.
Father and daughter depended on each other and fled all the way to our village."
Uncle Li recalled: "The villagers saw that they felt pity for them and that Stranger Li happened to be good at making farm tools, so they took the father and daughter in and stayed in the village to become a blacksmith."
Ding Ning looked thoughtful: "He is a foreigner, how dare he go against the Wu family? How good is he at fighting?"
In his heart, there was already a vague suspicion. I am afraid that this stranger Li is not only a blacksmith, but also a warrior. Only a warrior will not pay attention to the evil forces in the world.
"I don't know how much he can beat her. Anyway, I heard that Wu Laosan coveted Mei Niang's beauty and wanted her as his concubine. He came to propose marriage but was kicked out by Blacksmith Li."
Li Bo said with relish: "The Wu family is used to being domineering. How can we swallow this breath? Wu Laosan gathered dozens of rogues to come to make trouble that night. Although no one dared to go out that night, they didn't know what happened.
What, I just know that the dog barked all night, there was a lot of noise outside, waiting
After dawn, everyone went out and found that the blacksmith shop was fine. Li Tiejiang just did whatever he needed to do as if nothing had happened. Wu Laosan also surprisingly did not mention the matter of taking Meiniang as his concubine. From then on, even when he went out, he would go around
Walking towards the blacksmith shop, I must be scared of being beaten by Blacksmith Li."
Ding Ning became more and more sure of his guess. Stranger Li was definitely a warrior. If he was just a blacksmith with some strength, he would never be the opponent of dozens of ruthless and boring opponents.
This made him even more interested in that pervert. Li Tiejiang was an extraordinary warrior behind him, but he was slapped away by him. Then he was a real master.
It's no wonder that all these villagers fled the village as if they had seen a ghost. In their eyes, Tiejiang Li, who was extremely powerful, was no match for the pervert. It was strange that they were not afraid.
A pair of father and daughter on the run, the Wu brothers who are kings and dominators, and a crazy pervert, this little Lijia Village is really lively.
"The Wu family finally couldn't bear it anymore. Hey, let's fight, let's fight. It's best if we die together."
Just when Ding Ning was thinking about whether to go meet that pervert, Li Bo suddenly laughed happily.
Ding Ning heard the sound and looked around, only to realize that at this moment, the four brothers of the Wu family had gathered around a dozen thugs. The boss of the Wu family was talking excitedly and seemed to be going to the village.
Find the place and avenge Wu Laosan.
"Where did all these thugs come from?"
Ding Ning narrowed his eyes and asked as if unintentionally, but he was slightly surprised because he found that those thugs were all Xuanwu realm warriors.
Although such low-level warriors were not worth mentioning in his eyes, this was the first time he had seen a real warrior in this strange world.
"Hmph! It's not the bodyguards sent by the Wu family. Ever since Wu Laosan was taught a lesson by Li Tiejiang last time, the Wu brothers realized that they couldn't suppress Li Tiejiang with the help of the ruffians in the village. The one who ran to the city
They cried and complained in front of their father, probably confusing right and wrong and saying that they were being bullied, so Mr. Wu sent someone to protect them."
Uncle Li whispered angrily.
"Then why haven't they taken action yet?"
Ding Ning asked with some confusion.
Although I don’t know how powerful Tiejiang Li is, he was slapped away by that pervert. He is probably not a very powerful master, so he is probably no match for these thugs.
"Shi Chu Wuming, although the Wu brothers are kings and hegemons in the village, they act like good babies in front of their cheap father. These people are bodyguards sent by Mr. Wu. They are only responsible for protecting them, not helping them bully them.
people."
Although Uncle Li said something rather obscure, Ding Ning understood. The Wu brothers were domineering in the village, and their cheap father didn't know about it. Therefore, the bodyguards sent would not follow them to do evil, but only when they were punished.
He only takes action when bullied.
"Then now the Wu brothers have found a reason to let those thugs take action."
Ding Ning said thoughtfully. For some reason, he was faintly worried about that pervert.
Although he despised the way the pervert raped Mei Niang, the truth of the matter is still unknown. Uncle Li also followed others' opinions and did not see it with his own eyes, so he could not draw an arbitrary conclusion.
Moreover, although the people in the village were frightened, only Wu Laosan's family was actually hurt. The other people's houses may have been destroyed, but no one was heard of being injured. It seemed that although the pervert was crazy,
But he still took measures in a measured manner, which made him even more curious about whether the pervert was really crazy or pretending to be crazy.
Suddenly, he thought of a question he had been ignoring and asked quickly: "Where are Tiejiang Li and Mei Niang? Have they escaped too?"
"No, I didn't see the father and daughter."
Uncle Li looked around for a week, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and sighed: "I guess the father and daughter will be in trouble this time. Not to mention the pervert, these goons from the Wu family will never let them go."
of."
"oh!"
Ding Ning looked thoughtful. For some reason, he always had an intuition that the pervert would not harm Blacksmith Li and his daughter.
"Let's go and avenge the third child!"
At this moment, Boss Wu interrupted his thoughts with a loud shout. He heard the sound and looked around, only to see the Wu brothers and the thugs walking towards the village in a menacing manner.
"I'll go take a look."
Ding Ning perked up and was about to follow him after he finished speaking.
"What are you doing, young man? Don't ask for trouble. You are a foreigner and you cannot afford to offend the Wu family."
Li Bo grabbed him and said anxiously.
"I just went to see the excitement, what are I afraid of?"
Ding Ning said nonchalantly.
"Why is the liveliness of the Wu family so beautiful? They are so domineering. Don't you dare to follow anyone else if you haven't seen them?"
Li Bo said seriously.
"I'm just watching the excitement, what else can the Wu brothers do to me?"
Ding Ning was a little confused.
"them……"
Uncle Li hesitated to speak. After looking around, he saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his voice and said angrily: "Young man, you are still too young. Think about it, why did I just say that Mr. Wu
No one dared to go out that night when San went to trouble Li Tiejiang?"
"The Wu family doesn't want others to see them doing bad things?"
Ding Ning seemed to understand something.
Uncle Li showed a teachable expression, smoothed his sparse beard, shook his head and said: "The Wu brothers have always been domineering, but they are afraid that their cheap father will find out about their misdeeds and expel them from the Wu family in anger.
, so no matter what bad things the Wu brothers do, they don’t like to be seen. Anyone who sees them will be beaten up and given a warning. If they dare to gossip, the end will be even worse."
"How miserable it can be, but you can't kill people and silence them, right? Is there no royal law?"
Ding Ning looked stunned and said indignantly.
"Wang Fa? Haha, in Lijia Village, the Wu brothers are Wang Fa. Do you know who their cheap dad is?"
Li Bo sneered, showing a complex expression of fear, shock, fear, and envy.
"Who is he? Isn't he the young master of the Wu family?"
Ding Ning's heart moved. It seemed that the Wu family was by no means a wealthy family. It must have a big background.
"Yes, he is not only the young master of the Wu family, I heard..."
Uncle Li paused after speaking here, lowered his voice, pointed to the sky with awe on his face, and said mysteriously: "The Wu family has a great background, and the young master's cousin is the imperial concubine."
"The royal concubine?"
Ding Ning repeated subconsciously, with a look of surprise on his face. No wonder the Wu brothers don't even want to have a last name. The beggars have to be named Wu. Their cheap dad has such a relative. Speaking of which, the Wu family
These are the royal relatives.
Although the imperial concubine is not as maternal as the queen, she is one of the top figures in the harem. Being related to her, even if the Wu family does not have an official status, it can definitely move around in this county. No wonder Wu
The brothers carried the banner of the Wu family and ran rampant, but no one dared to offend them.
"I heard that the imperial concubine passed by our Zeyang County when she went home to visit relatives a few years ago, and she even spent a night at Wu's house. The scene at that time was so grand..."
Li Bo said with envy, as if he was there at that time and saw it with his own eyes.
Ding Ning couldn't laugh or cry. She didn't have the heart to listen to his gossip. She excused herself to the side because she needed to urinate. When she saw that no one was paying attention, she quickly ran towards the village.
He was full of curiosity about everything that happened in Lijia Village. If it weren't for the fact that his soul was still injured and he didn't dare to use his consciousness easily, he would have investigated everything long ago. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such trouble and had to go there in person.
At this moment, in a blacksmith shop in the village, a girl was sobbing quietly with her head buried in her head.
Blacksmith Li was holding a big hammer with an angry face, glaring at a handsome young man whose eyes were staring at the girl, and said sternly: "Stop pretending to be crazy, tell me, who are you?"
The young man seemed not to hear him and ignored him. He stared at the girl without blinking.
"Dad, don't blame him. Everything is done voluntarily by my daughter."
As if the girl couldn't bear the young man being scolded by her father, she raised her head and revealed a flower-like face, with red and swollen eyes, and said timidly.
