Early in the morning, when it was just dawn, Wu Da removed the door panel of the cake shop as usual.
In fact, he had already gotten up when he was in Yin, making dough, kneading dough, rising dough, making cakes, opening pots, steaming...
When the first cage of cooking cakes was steamed, the residents of Dongxingfang came out to work.
"Da Lang, bring me two cooking cakes!"
"Three cooking cakes, two with pickles and one with oil drum."
"I want five."
Wu Da agreed while skillfully picking up the cakes and collecting the money.
One basket after another of potcakes was sold out, and as the sun rose, all the customers passed by.
Wu Da simply cleared away the eucalyptus boards, then moved out a bench and sat at the door of the store, holding two leftover pancakes for breakfast, slowly nibbling one bite at a time.
This man, less than thirty years old, has gray hair and a dark face full of wrinkles.
His eyes were numb, and he looked like a man in his forties or fifties.
This small cake shop was handed down from the ancestors of Wuda, and it once supported a large family.
Now only Wu Da and his son are left.
His parents went back to their hometown to visit relatives a few years ago, but they were plagued by evil spirits and all the people in the village were wiped out.
My younger brother Erlang was forcibly recruited into the army and went to the northwest to guard the border. There has been no news for three or four years.
Nine times out of ten, it's gone.
His wife was born two years ago and was still three months pregnant at the time.
Wu Da really wanted to go with him.
But I really couldn't let go of my two-year-old son, so I gritted my teeth and persisted.
Year by year.
He doesn't know how many more years he can hold on.
People say that the Wu family's cooking cakes are not as fragrant and sweet as before.
Yes, his wife kneaded the dough and beat the cakes in the past, so the taste was of course different.
Life is so hard now.
How fragrant and sweet can the cakes made be?
After finishing the cooking cake in his hand, Wu Da licked the crumbs remaining on his fingers, drank two mouthfuls of water, and got up to go upstairs to wake up his snoozing son.
At this moment, an old woman in a sarong hurriedly ran over from the street with her little feet.
She ran to the door of the cooking cake shop and shouted: "Da Lang, why are you still selling cooking cakes here? Something big has happened!"
Wu Da was a little confused: "What's the matter?"
This is the neighbor Aunt Li, who used to have a very close relationship with his parents.
"Tianshi Mansion..."
Aunt Li rubbed her chest and said excitedly: "Those guys in the Tianshi Mansion have all been arrested now, and they are kneeling in front of the stone lions, saying they want to behead them!"
What?!
There was a bang in Wu Da's head, and his face instantly turned purple: "Auntie, are you kidding?"
"Can this be a joke?"
Aunt Li rolled her eyes at him: "Go and take a look. Steward Ximen who killed a thousand swordsmen is also kneeling there!"
"Auntie, please help me look at the store."
Wu Da rushed towards the street without thinking: "I'll give you a basket of cooking cakes when you turn around!"
Aunt Li stamped her feet: "Ah!"
She herself wanted to go see the fun again, so how could she have time to help Wuda look after the store?
But come to think of it, a cage of cooked cakes is more delicious.
Wu Da ignored it and rushed out of the long street at a speed he had never seen before in his life. He reached the intersection and ran a hundred steps north.
Soon I saw the tall wall guarding the Tianshi Mansion in front of me.
In front of the gate are two lifelike green stone lions with teeth and claws.
The left and right sides of the Tianshi Mansion are Dongxingfang and Xiliufang, where thousands of families live.
In the past two years, the people in the Tianshi Mansion have been arrogant and domineering over the common people.
It caused great harm to the neighbors.
Everyone was filled with hatred and secretly said that only the pair of stone lions at the entrance of Tianshi Mansion were clean and innocent.
I hope God will send down a thunderbolt and kill all these people!
But the neighbors also know it.
This is just a fantasy. The Celestial Master is an immortal master with great supernatural powers. Even the prince of the county will kneel down when he sees it.
Common people like them simply cannot afford to offend.
I never expected that God really opened his eyes today, and evildoers will also get retribution!
When Wu Da ran to the main entrance of Tianshi Mansion, people in three circles inside and three outside were already surrounding the stone lion.
"Really caught?"
"Hahaha, these beasts are here too!"
"There will be retribution!"
"The emperor is above, the emperor is above!"
Wu Da was not tall and could not see what was going on inside.
He was so anxious that he immediately used brute strength to force his way through the crowded crowd.
Successfully squeezed to the front.
Then Wu Da saw at a glance that twenty or thirty stewards and servants of the Tianshi Mansion, who were usually arrogant and domineering, were kneeling in a row next to the stone lion.
One of them he knew very well!
"Ximen Jin!"
Wu Da's eyes turned red instantly, and blood rushed to his head.
He ignored the black-clothed guards guarding the Tianshi Mansion, clenched his fists and roared like a beast.
Then he rushed forward desperately, waved his fist with bulging veins with all his strength, and smashed his head and face against a young man kneeling on the ground!
Two years ago, Wu Da's pregnant wife went to the street to buy groceries. She was hit by someone and abducted directly to the house.
A body was returned the next day.
Wu Da had no way to appeal, and a feeling of sadness and anger accumulated in his heart. At this moment, he got all the vents.
When he rushed up to beat someone, a black-clothed guard tried to stop him.
But he was stopped by his companions.
Everyone just watched as Wu Da punched Ximen Jin one after another, knocking Ximen Jin to the ground and beating him until he cried like a ghost.
The beating continued until there was gradually no sound.
None of the neighbors knew about the Wu family's affairs, and no one came forward to dissuade them. They just felt extremely happy!
Until Wuda lost the strength to fight, he covered his face with his bloody fists and cried silently.
A neighbor who had a good relationship with him had the courage to step forward and help Wu Da, who had lost strength, aside.
The guards in black didn't care either.
Then a guard stood on the steps and loudly announced the decree of the new guarding heavenly master.
The onlookers were immediately shocked!
Only then did everyone realize that it was the new master who guarded the Tianshi Mansion who upheld justice and made decisions for the people.
These villains who ruined the reputation of the Tianshi Mansion not only had to be beheaded in public, but also had their property confiscated.
Make amends for the victims!
"good!"
The crowd was excited.
Waves of cheers, accompanied by severed heads, soared into the sky.
The dripping blood splashed onto the green stone lion, washing away the dust and dust on it.
Guarding the gate of Tianshi Mansion, more and more people were watching.
Wu Da, who had regained some strength, was squeezed out instead.
"Brother!"
At this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar call.
Wu Da suddenly turned around and saw a hunky-backed man standing a few steps away with tears in his eyes.
The opponent's left sleeve was empty, and his right arm held Wu Da's youngest son.
There was also a beautiful woman beside him.
"Erlang!"
Wu Da's vision was instantly blurred, and his lips trembled with excitement and his body trembled.
Just listen to the other party say: "Jinlian, meet my brother soon!"——
