Goethe did not stay long. The Wang family's servants drove the carriage, and the eldest lady of the Wang family waited beside him. Old Wang followed beside him, and behind him was a carriage driven by Huang Dangdang.
Wang Xiaofeng wanted to go because Goethe agreed.
First of all, there is the Wang family's shop in Haimen, so you won't have a place to stay when you go to Haimen.
Secondly, the Wang family's business in Haimen is not small, and they have a lot of assistants and servants, so it is easy to inquire about things.
Of course, Wang Xiaofeng went there under the pretext of ‘going to Haimen to see his business’.
And Huang Dangdang?
She and Goethe still had an agreement.
Now that the agreement has not been completed, she will naturally go wherever Goethe goes.
When Lao Li sent Li Changhai out, his eyes were red and he was obviously crying.
When parting, she held her son's hand firmly and handed him a dry branch from his arms.
"This is your godmother's branch. Keep it close to your body."
Lao Li instructed.
"I got it, Dad!"
Li Changhai didn't have any worries about separation at all. His father agreed that he and Mr. Mo would go to Haimen together. It was like the sky is high and birds can fly, and the sea is as wide as fish can jump.
Lao Li, Lao Liu, Aunt Six and other people in the village watched Goethe and his entourage leave.
Everyone didn't disperse until they could no longer be seen.
As soon as Lao Li returned to the house, he saw Li Fugui tied to a chair, gagged and struggling.
Lao Li was not surprised at all.
why?
People, he tied them up.
His mouth was blocked.
Why tie up Li Fugui?
Even the son doesn’t understand.
After Lao Li pulled off the linen, Li Fugui asked.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Let me go quickly. If you don't let me go, Mr. Mo and Brother Mo will go far away."
Li Fugui shouted, while Lao Li slowly smoked his pipe.
"Dad, please let me go!"
"Don't let go."
"You will be tied up like this for the next three days."
Lao Li blew out the smoke without even raising his eyelids.
"Why?"
Li Fugui became more and more puzzled.
"Because I only have two sons, and if they both die, the old Li family will have no descendants."
Lao Li continued to smoke the pipe pot, and the tobacco leaves flashed red.
"ah?"
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
"Brother, nothing can happen. Mr. Mo is so capable."
Li Fugui looked unbelieving.
"You have great ability, but it's terrible if something goes wrong. When a big ship passes by, a small boat will capsize. I can trust Mr. Mo's character, but people make mistakes and horses make mistakes... Sigh."
Lao Li raised his head and looked at Li Fugui and sighed.
Li Fugui was stunned.
He didn't know how to refute his father.
All he could do was struggle and hold his neck.
"Then why is my brother going and not me?"
"He is the eldest son, he is your brother."
Lao Li replied matter-of-factly.
"It's not fair! It's not fair!"
Li Fugui shouted at the top of his lungs.
Lao Li sneered, knocked the pipe pot on the sole of his shoe, took off his shoes and started to smoke Li Fugui fiercely.
"Fair? I will let you see what fairness is today!"
Bang! Bang!
After being whipped violently, Li Fugui was beaten until he grinned.
That's it, I'm still not convinced.
"Don't let me go, let me go, and I'll run away!"
"Hey kid, that's what you said."
"From now on, you will be tied up here."
"I still don't believe I can't cure you!"
My son has a stubborn temper, and I have the same temper.
It's genetic.
"What should I do if I poop or pee?"
Li Fugui was anxious.
He knew that his father could do what he said.
If he was really tied up here, it wouldn't take more than a few days to drive him crazy.
"Hmph, I'll serve you. It's not like I didn't serve you before when I was a kid."
"I will treat you as if I was born again and serve you again."
Lao Li sneered again, closed the door and left.
Hearing the sound of the door locking, Li Fugui despaired.
"Brother, help!"
…
Li Changhai was riding his horse when he felt someone calling him.
You won't encounter anything in this wilderness, right?
Having been in the mountains for many years, Li Changhai has encountered many strange and strange things, and with the words and deeds of Old Li, he naturally has some means of self-defense, so he subconsciously grabbed the tree branch of his godmother.
But then he let go.
Because he saw Mr. Mo.
Goethe was also riding a horse, standing nearby.
As long as Mr. Mo is here, I won't be afraid if I encounter him.
Immediately, Li Changhai was completely relieved.
In the carriage in front, Lao Wang and his assistant were sitting in front. In the carriage, the eldest lady of the Wang family was listening to what Uncle Liu was saying.
"That silly boy is so blessed that he is actually the godson of that tree fairy."
"Do you recognize the tree fairy?"
"Of course, when I was chased and struck by lightning, I escaped by hiding under that big tree. Otherwise, let alone becoming a Baojiaxian, I would have been destroyed by ashes long ago."
After hearing what Uncle Liu said, the eldest lady of the Wang family became interested on the spot and thought about how to repay Old Li's family.
"Girl, don't worry about it."
"That tree fairy is different. What you do deliberately is not beautiful."
"Just let nature take its course."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Wang Xiaofeng nodded.
Uncle Liu looked at the well-behaved and sensible eldest lady of the Wang family, sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but ask.
"Have you thought about what to do if you go to Haimen?"
"Faith will move mountains to open!"
Wang Xiaofeng clenched her fists.
Girl, you are not fighting, this method will not work.
Uncle Liu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
What it's best at is fighting.
Emotional thing?
It's not good at it.
Uncle Liu is not good at it, but Huang Xianzhi is good at it.
He screamed around his daughter.
Huang Dangdang looked unmoved.
I was really anxious, so I hugged my mother directly.
Huang Xianzhi lamented, not knowing what to do.
It was almost seven hundred kilometers from Fengcheng to Haimen, and was followed by about ten servants of the Wang family armed with firearms and long knives. Basically, there were no unscrupulous people who robbed the way.
Most of them are just for food, not for risking their lives.
And all the way south from Fengcheng, the power of this gang becomes weaker.
What's more, Hu Yidao was escorting him all the way.
According to Hu Yidao, Mr. Mo is his half-master, and he is his half-disciple. It is fitting that the master should send him off when he travels far away. After receiving Hu Yidao's two [Treasure Cards], Goethe taught him the [Small Eye Covering Technique].
Gave Hu Yidao.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m really talented or if I just fit in perfectly.
Hu Yidao
Therefore, fifty guards from the Hu family were ordered and Goethe and his party were sent all the way to the sea gate.
"Master, my disciple sent you here. You really can't go back there."
Hu Yidao's face turned pale, his lips turned blue, and he kowtowed to Goethe tremblingly.
The immortal family cannot go beyond Shanhaiguan.
Hu Yidao was the backbone of the Hu family of this generation, and he suffered even greater backlash.
If you go forward like this, you will definitely die.
"Let's go back."
Goethe helped Hu Yidao up.
Although Hu Yidao was a person who beat snakes with sticks and applied plaster to dogs, he was treated obediently and obediently along the way. There was no such thing as sleeping and dining in the open air. It was more like traveling around the mountains and rivers.
Especially after passing Shanhaiguan, Hu Yidao still remained the same despite the increasingly serious backlash from various sources.
This is what you care about.
Even if you know that he is trying to please you, it is difficult for you to feel resentment.
"When I go back this time, I will teach you a few more tricks."
Goethe said.
"Hey, thank you Master."
Hu Yidao cupped his hands with a playful smile and handed a note to Goethe without leaving any trace.
At the same time, he lowered his voice.
"Master, please be careful, the water outside Shanhaiguan is deep."
"Um."
Goethe nodded.
He could see Hu Yidao pointing his little finger toward the second carriage when he said the water was deep.
That was the carriage Huang Dangdang was riding in.
Compared to Hu Yidao who suffered backlash.
Huang Dangdang is fine.
Not only was he fine, but he was also in good spirits.
This leaves only one possibility -
Protected by the imperial court.
Although the current imperial court is in turmoil, it still has some ability.
But precisely because of this, we have to be careful.
No one knows where Huang Dangdang is standing.
The imperial court has long been no longer monolithic.
Hu Yidao withdrew with the Hu family's cavalry. Before leaving, he left a lot of firearms and explosives for Li Changhai and the Wang family. In Hu Yidao's words, having these things to defend himself made him tough to speak.
Ten miles away from the city, people from Wang's shop have been waiting for him.
As soon as I saw the convoy, I came over to greet them.
The visitor is familiar with Lao Wang.
Immediately, the two sides exchanged pleasantries.
This man led everyone into the city. The soldiers at the city gate turned a blind eye to the two carts, which obviously had different weights, and did not check them.
The firearms of the Wang family guards, the long knives and the firearms left by Hu Yidao, and the explosives were all in the car.
Li Changhai was originally worried about how to enter the city.
It's good now, there's nothing to worry about.
Feeling relieved, Li Changhai, a silly boy, could no longer keep his eyes on him.
Nothing else.
Haimen is really lively.
It's more lively than Fengcheng.
Haimen, which originated from water transportation, is known as the "bottom of the Nine Rivers" and "the hub of rivers and seas".
Going south and north, there are so many objects of all kinds.
There are more people.
When there are more people, there will be many strange people and strange things.
After all, this land contains salt, salt, and nitrate, and it breeds people with all kinds of personalities, hot, spicy, refreshing, crunchy, and not easy to mess with, including local weirdos and folk heroes.
Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s just talk about the vacant shop next to Wang’s shop.
This shop was originally also a drug store.
Unlike the Wang family, which mainly sells wild products and raw medicines, this shop only buys Western medicines.
The rumored ‘panacea’.
The owner of the shop came back from studying abroad, and he was full of foreign ink. He also brought back some "holy things", which are said to be able to cure all diseases, especially epilepsy, and have miraculous effects.
Just drink one bottle and it will be effective.
Really effective?
efficient!
Because there is sweat medicine inside.
Even good people will faint after drinking it, let alone sick people.
Moreover, the shopkeeper didn't come back from studying abroad. He just took a boat out and walked around and then came back. His identity and other things were all made up.
A belly full of water, that’s true!
I’m full of bad water!
Think about it, Mongolian sweat medicine can make people confused for a while, but not for the rest of their lives.
The patient wakes up and is still twitching, what should I do?
Continue to buy medicine.
That bottle of 'panacea' cost one silver dollar.
It only works for a day or two.
If it’s gone, you have to keep buying it.
It's not necessarily good until all the money is emptied.
It can be said that this bastard is full of evil and smoking.
Moreover, in order to avoid being discovered by others, I prepared the medicine by myself in the dead of night every day.
He didn't even tell his wife.
After a year of hard work, this is not the same as before. This bad-tempered bastard is settling the accounts and seeing how much money he has earned.
This doesn't matter at all, it's shocking.
many!
Too much!
It was enough for him to go to the imperial capital to buy two large courtyards and buy three sets of shops facing the street. It was more than enough.
Immediately, the shopkeeper became excited.
Then, I was so excited that my whole throat twitched.
My wife heard the noise outside and ran in to take a look and breathed a sigh of relief.
why?
If you talk about other diseases, she will be afraid.
But she didn't want to take pictures of the twitching.
She has medicine at home!
That’s what it’s for!
Come, give the shopkeeper some medicine!
After drinking a small bottle of medicine, the shopkeeper fell asleep.
After a while, the shopkeeper woke up and was twitching.
The shopkeeper's wife immediately gave orders.
Come, give the shopkeeper some medicine, use the big one, we have it at home, don’t be afraid!
Yes, the biggest one!
Two servants carried a medicine jar that was larger than the pickle jar and gave medicine to the shopkeeper.
Gudong, Gudong!
The medicine was poured down.
The shopkeeper's silence stopped.
The whole person is straightened up!
died!
How can I not die? Mongolian sweat medicine is a harmful thing. A little bit can make people confused. If you drink so much, at least half a jar will be poured down. Not to mention people, even cattle will die.
The shopkeeper is dead.
The stalls naturally dispersed.
My family took their own medicine and died from it.
How can anyone believe this?
Many former victims came to ask for compensation, and people from the government also came.
Eventually, the store closed.
The shopkeeper's wife returned to the countryside with some money.
From the shopkeeper?
Buried outside the city.
However, the next day he was pulled out and his body was exposed in the wilderness.
Some people say it was done by the family members of the deceased patient.
Some people say it was pulled out by wild dogs.
In short, there are all kinds of things, but it is true that people were exhumed, and it is also true that their bodies were exposed in the wilderness.
"Uncle Wang, what happened next?"
Li Changhai, who was fascinated by the story, asked the shopkeeper Wang of Haimen.
Everyone just introduced themselves.
Shopkeeper Wang, whose full name is Wang Changgui, Lao Wang, and Wang Changfeng, are both elders of the Wang family. Moreover, they are related to the eldest daughter of the Wang family’s father. Although it is a bit far away, logically, the eldest daughter of the Wang family should call this person.
uncle.
Li Changhai, a silly boy, didn't care about anything else and just called him uncle.
"later?"
"Of course it's to report to the official."
Wang Changgui continued talking with a smile.
That cemetery was not a mass grave. Someone discovered it and immediately reported it to the authorities.
People from the government office also came, but in the end nothing came of it.
The shopkeeper's wife has returned to the countryside and has no trouble with her boss. The people in the government office also know that there is no money to be made, but fortunately that's all.
There are good people around me, but this shopkeeper is too bad for selling fake medicine.
No matter how good people are, they don't want to take care of it.
Everyone pushed me and I pushed you. Finally, two people were selected to bury the shopkeeper.
Think about it, two people would be happy to bury such a person.
Dilly-dally.
Wait until the sun turns west.
The older one said, "Brother, it's already dark today. Can we come back tomorrow?"
The younger one nodded immediately, "Okay, brother, let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to see the road in a while."
Immediately, the two of them picked up their shovels and went home happily under the afternoon sunshine.
I came at noon the next day.
When I came to take a look, oh, the body of the shopkeeper was eaten by wild dogs or wild animals.
The two brothers thought about it and decided that this matter should not be made public and should be buried.
It's all in pieces anyway.
But I don't have the skills to pick it up.
I just shoveled it in with a shovel mixed with soil, filled the hole, stepped on it a few times, and made it solid. I didn't even erect a monument. I just made half a brick and erected it, and it was done.
"Should!"
"Evil begets evil!"
Li Changhai said harshly.
"Well, evil is punished."
"However, the lady wrote that she wanted to come to Haimen, so I bought the shop. The shop won't be open for the time being, but it's enough to accommodate people."
Wang Changgui said with a smile.
Sometimes, it's such a coincidence.
There happened to be someone at home, and the place next door happened to be vacant, and it was much cheaper.
However, after a while, Shopkeeper Wang stopped laughing.
As soon as he turned into the alley with the others, he saw a group of people surrounding the door of his shop.
No!
To be precise, it's the entrance to the store I just bought next door.
