Wu Xiaoming guessed the beginning, but not the end.
When the guard holding a stick killed the wild boar, Wu Xiaoming and Yinniang were filled with joy and walked towards the river bank. He saw his father, Wu Yuanwai, while Yinniang saw him being pressed down by two women.
The disheveled Liu family.
"Mother!" Yinniang's face turned pale, she ran up and hugged Mrs. Liu, and found that there was faint blood on the corner of her mother's mouth.
Mrs. Liu, who had disheveled hair and a look full of misery, burst into tears the first time she saw Yinniang. She cried: "Yinniang, your sister is gone, your sister is gone!"
"Sister?" Yinniang backed away repeatedly, unable to believe that this was true.
Aunt Liu went back to deliver the food box. When she came back to look for Wu Xiaoming, she found that her young master was missing.
This was so shocking that all the servants of the Wu family were dispatched to protect the hospital. Mr. Wu hated Liu's daughter for taking away his son, so he grabbed Liu Niang in anger and threw her to the ground.
If Wu Xiaoming is determined to be a bad guy, then Mr. Wu is a real bad guy, and he is the kind who cares about human life.
Mr. Wu made his fortune by lending money and making money as a living. It is impossible to say that he is not cruel.
This time she fell down and Liu Niang died on the spot. Mr. Wu smiled happily instead of angry and said that if something happened to his son, he would not leave any chickens or dogs in the Liu family.
"Sixth Sister, it was me who harmed Sixth Sister." When Yinniang heard what happened, she burst into tears and almost fainted.
There were many families in Huaishu Village who were having a hard time. Yinniang once took her friends up the mountain to pick wild vegetables to supplement the family income, without even considering the consequences of taking Wu Xiaoming up the mountain.
If she had known that the cost of bringing Wu Xiaoming up the mountain was that her sixth sister would be thrown to death, she would not have done that even if she was knocked to death.
Now, it's too late to say anything, all that's left is regret.
Ms. Liu was also crying and heartbroken. She felt that she was also wrong in this matter. She never thought that the young master of the Wu family would follow him up the mountain, so she forgot to remind her.
When she thought of her daughter's unjust and unworthy death, Ms. Liu could not even breathe, and she actually fainted from crying.
"I fainted again, hey, this is the second time!" Mr. Wu held Wu Xiaoming's little hand, glanced at it and smiled: "Son, although this little girl did it unintentionally, she almost hurt you.
Your life will not survive without punishment. Since you like to play with this little girl, how about daddy buy her and make her your slave?"
"No, those maids at home are all boring. Yin Niang saved me this time, and we will be friends from now on." Wu Xiaoming said while asking: "Dad, why is Yin Niang crying?"
"Cry, weep with joy, and smile when I go back and pack fifty taels of silver for her family." Mr. Wu said casually, and to the ears of all the servants, it was no less than the cold wind blowing in December.
When he heard that his son might have been taken to the mountain, he raised his hand and threw the sixth girl of the Liu family to death.
Now that he sees that his son is fine, he wants to buy the fifth girl and serve as a slave to his son while talking and laughing. This shows the character of Mr. Wu.
It is estimated that in Mr. Wu's mind, throwing Liu Niang to death is not a big deal at all.
Not to mention the ups and downs of ordinary people, there is not even a trace of compassion, and they are not taken to heart at all.
"Let's go back!" Mr. Wu waved his hand, and under the influence of dozens of servants, he took Wu Xiaoming's hand and left.
Wu Xiaoming turned back three times with each step, looked at Liu and Yinniang who had fainted, and asked: "Dad, aren't you taking Yinniang and the others with you?"
"Do you want to take it with you?" Mr. Wu asked.
Wu Xiaoming nodded and replied: "I want to"
"Then take it with you. This Yin Niang is quite beautiful. She will be your concubine when she grows up." Mr. Wu fondly touched his son's head. As for whether the Liu family would object, he didn't even consider it.
.
In a mighty manner, dozens of people left the mountain and returned to Huaishu Village.
Yin Niang of the Liu family took the young master of the Wu family up the mountain. Master Wu threw Liu Niang to death in a rage. This incident has been widely spread.
At the entrance of the village, several women who liked to chew their tongues gathered together in twos and threes, discussing the matter in low voices.
Among them, Wu Xiaoming saw Yinniang's grandmother from the crowd, the little old lady who came to grab the eggs.
The old lady looked unconcerned in the crowd, and had no intention of moving forward, as if she wanted to draw a clear line. It was not clear at all that the reason why Yinniang went up the mountain this time was because she only had three eggs at home.
The old lady took it away by force, so I had no choice but to go up the mountain to find food.
"Old lady, this time your Dalang offended Master Wu, your family is in trouble!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Dalang has been separated a long time ago. The two families are now two families. This has nothing to do with us."
After passing the crowd and sitting on the bamboo chair carried by two people, Wu Xiaoming glanced at the old lady of the Liu family.
I saw that the old lady of the Liu family did not have any guilty conscience and argued loudly with everyone, as if she was deliberately telling everyone.
Someone in the crowd said something more, and then Wu Xiaoming realized that Dalang of the Liu family, Yinniang's father, was not the old lady's biological son, but the posthumous son left by his ex-wife.
"Dad, what is your ex-wife?" Wu Xiaoming raised his head and asked, finding this title very strange.
Mr. Wu glanced at these talkative women and replied disapprovingly: "The ex-wife is the ex-wife. You are still young. You will understand when you grow up. Don't listen to these women's nonsense."
Mr. Wu is sitting on the bamboo chair. He is a fierce man who can stop children from crying at night. He makes no sound wherever he goes.
He walked through the village entrance in a swaggering manner. Hearing how hard it was to forage in the fields, Mr. Wu didn't even have the guts to take a look until he came to the door of Liu's house.
"Liu Niang is alive, Liu Niang is not dead!"
"What the hell, didn't you all die? Why are you alive again?"
"Surviving a catastrophe will lead to good fortune in the future. This Liu Niang must be a lucky one. The ancestors of the Liu family have accumulated good deeds!"
"Keep your voice down, Mr. Wu is here, don't come forward."
In front of Liu's house, many neighbors gathered around, all talking about something.
Mr. Wu was surprised when he heard this. The Liu Niang died on the spot as soon as he threw her. How could she be alive again?
Seeing Mr. Wu and his party, the neighbors who blocked the door all backed away.
I saw a man in his thirties, hugging a girl with a look of joy on his face. It was Yin Niang's father Liu Changnian.
"father!"
When she saw her father, Yin Niang shouted loudly.
Liu Changnian looked up, and when he saw his daughter, he also saw Mr. Wu. He was extremely jealous when he saw his true enemy.
"Dad, we will fight with them." Liu Changnian was accompanied by four and a half young men, namely Yin Niang's four brothers.
In the hands of these four people, some were holding dung forks, some were carrying poles, some were carrying kitchen knives, and one was holding a stone.
"Haha, are you trying to scare me?"
Facing a group of people, Mr. Wu snorted disdainfully, with a look of arrogance on his face: "You don't even want to know who I am. If you go against me, I will bury you alive."
Is it helplessness, anger, or humiliation.
Liu Changnian hugged Liu Niang so hard that he almost wanted to break his teeth into pieces, but he couldn't do anything.
Because he knew that Mr. Wu in front of him was not a street bully, but a vicious wolf that ate people without spitting out bones.
If you are serious with him, once he becomes serious with you, it will be fatal.
If it really comes to that point, if you say you are buried alive, you will be buried alive. Without these ruthlessness, Mr. Wu would not be able to live happily until now.
"Your sister is fine. Let's forget about this matter." Liu Changnian's tone was bleak, full of a sense of powerlessness.
The four and a half young men were still unconvinced, but they could only glare fiercely and took Yin Niang and Liu over.
It should have been a great joy for the family to reunite, but unfortunately Mrs. Liu was unconscious and Liu Niang was like a fool, looking at everyone without crying or making a fuss.
Wu Xiaoming waved his hand and asked the servant to put down the bamboo chair and walked down from it.
Everyone in Yinniang's family was on guard, and the four brothers even protected Yinniang behind them, saying loudly: "What do you want to do?"
People are like swordsmen and I am like fish and meat. Even if you want to be tough, you can't be tough.
Seeing that the Liu family's attitude was not very friendly, several guards carrying waist knives put their hands on the handles of the knives. They were really good at killing people if they disagreed with each other.
You know, today's Anguo court is in chaos, and the current emperor is fatuous, and he likes to buy official positions.
Many officials issued orders to compare with the extravagance and plunder, and the killers all gave clear price tags. Five hundred taels of silver for one life can be paid. If the price is not enough, we can still discuss it.
Human life is worthless in this era, only yellow and white things are valuable.
Liu Changnian had lived for more than thirty years, and he saw clearly what the world was like, and sighed: "You guys put down what you are holding, we can't afford to offend the Wu family!"
The head of the family was convinced, and the neighbors not only did not boo, but also said that the old Liu family knew the current affairs.
Although Yinniang's four brothers are tigers, they are not really ignorant.
Everyone wanted to trample Wu Xiaoming to death, but they had to bow their heads in front of the boss, because in these eight villages, the Wu family was the well-deserved local bully.
"Yinniang, your sister," Wu Xiaoming is only seven years old. He talks about being a bad guy and likes to bully children, but compared to Mr. Wu, he is not on the same level.
Seeing Liu Niang coming back from the dead, neither crying nor fussing, looking at the others quietly, Wu Xiaoming couldn't bear it.
"Liu Niang is sensible. She is a good child, but her life is hard." Yin Niang raised her hand to touch Liu Niang's head, but before she could make any move, Liu Niang frowned slightly.
This kind of frowning movement was something Liu Niang had never seen before. Yin Niang also hesitated subconsciously, vaguely feeling that it was very strange.
What's so strange? Yin Niang couldn't figure it out, so she just thought that her sister survived the disaster and was frightened.
With this thought in mind, Yinniang took out an egg from the basket, put it into Liu Niang's hand, and whispered: "Liu Niang, don't be afraid, my sister will boil the eggs for you later."
"you"
Liu Niang's eyes were confused at first, but then she regained some clarity. She came over for a few seconds before speaking: "Sister, I want to eat eggs."
