Chapter 139: The Gathering Is Uncertain, Looking Back It Suddenly Comes (Part 2)

"You said, this is, what's the matter..."

The autumn wind swayed, and the clouds were everywhere outside the inn, and the silver ingots on the square table were dazzling. Manager Wu's sigh, Fan Heng and others who were sitting here were full of great anger.

They were born in Jiangnan and had a good family background. In the past, they read poetry and books. After the Jurchens went south, although the world was shady, some things only happened in the most extreme places. On the other hand, the Jurchens were savage and easy to kill, and it was understandable that the people were living in dire straits wherever the soldiers went. This time they went to the southwest and were mentally prepared to see some extreme situations. Who knew that such things did not happen in the southwest and were not seen on Dai Mengwei's territory. When they arrived here, they suddenly hit the head in the shabby inn in this small county town.

Their moods rose and fell a lot in the past half day. At this moment, Manager Wu made a fuss, and the five young and strong men following him lined up in a row. Fan Heng and others were angry, but no one came forward to speak for a while.

Manager Wu looked at everyone, then pushed the stool away and stood up.

"Is that what you do?"

"……Um?"

Manager Wu was about to turn around, but he heard the voice of the unconvinced voice sounded from behind the scholars. The person who spoke was a young man who had originally sat a little far away. He heard the young man say word by word:

"Today, it's your Li family, bullying men and women, Xiu Niang and her daughter... She was beaten like that by you, and she was almost destroyed. They... didn't ask you to provoke you..."

Manager Wu's eyes were too long and he looked at the boy.

"You two are quarreling, and the woman wants to smash the man's yard. We just went over and rescued Sister Xiu Niang who was not causing trouble. Your son-in-law just wants to remember us for this kind of thing? Is he the head-in-chief of Tongshan County or the bandit who occupied the mountain?"

"Um?"

Manager Wu's eyes were fierce, but the other party seemed to have not seen it.

"The people who bully men and women blame the victim for resisting? We didn't say anything in the past, saying that we should remember us? You two quarreled, and Sister Xiu Niang was almost beaten to death. Do you think they were annoying? We just said a few words of the king's law, and it turned out to be our random talk? You didn't even say a word of apology? The Li family in Tongshan County? Is this how it is done?"

The boy stood up to question and said this word by word? Manager Wu was so angry that he laughed? He showed his lusty teeth and looked at the scholars. One of the scholars was afraid that everyone here would commit murder? He stood up to stop the young man who seemed to be angry and said, "Xiaolong..."

Everyone came here? As a doctor, the young man in front of him has always been kind, but after getting along for a long time, he knows that he likes martial arts and is keen on inquire about the world. He also wants to go to Jiangning to see the hero conference that will be held next. Of course, this temperament is not surprising? Which young man doesn’t have a little bit of aura? But in this situation, a gentleman stands on a dangerous wall. If the young man is exerted, it is obvious that he will not have any good results here.

"Who is this kid?" Manager Wu looked around everyone, "It seems that I still didn't say it clearly? "Okay."

He said, turning around and taking a long knife from the young man behind him. He pressed it on the table with a knife and a sheath. He reached out and pointed it: "Choose." He looked at Fan Heng and others? He looked at the boy who was a little further away? He showed his teeth, "Children, choose one."

The boy opposite looked at him, frowned slightly, turned his head, and his lips moved as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say it for a while. Chen Junsheng, the most insightful scholar among the scholars, had already gone over to protect him: "Okay, Xiaolong, don't think too much about this."

"I……"

Ning Ji's tone was complicated, but finally, he didn't continue speaking.

"Young Xiaolong is very angry, but his words are not unreasonable." Fan Heng stood up on the table and said slowly, "The Li family in Tongshan County is a high-ranking family, not a bandit in the mountains. He naturally has to be polite, righteous, honest and shameful. Your affairs today are unreasonable. In the future, when others talk about the Li family, they will also say that you are unreasonable. Since ancient times, no one's family business has become bigger."

His words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he also took the right measures. It can be said that Manager Wu, opposite, smiled: "To put it this way, are you reminding me not to let you go?"

Fan Heng's lips moved and he couldn't answer.

"Etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame." Manager Wu sneered, "If you praise you a few words, you won't know who you are. How did you do the Golden Dog with courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame? Why did our county town be burned? Scholars... You are usually tying you to pay tribute to miscellaneous taxes, but they knelt faster than anyone else during wars. The person in the southwest said that you would destroy your Confucianism. What are you going to do with him? When the Golden Dog came over, who withdrew the villagers from the village to the mountains? It was my work with Mr. Li!"

"I read a few broken books and talk about some unremarkable principles. You are useless to say. Today, let's explain it here. You, Mr. Wu, I, you, are the ones who read broken books the most. You know that you are useless when doing things. Do you want to reason, right? I think you have all been away from outside. Today's matters, our son-in-law has already remembered you. It's obvious that my lady told you to get out. Is it bullying you? Is it because our lady is kind-hearted!"

"Our lady is kind-hearted, Mr. Wu, I am not so kind-hearted. I'm so furious. I see you can walk out of the Tongshan realm! I know you are not convinced, don't be convinced, I tell you these brainless people, times have changed. Mr. Li said that only reads sages in the world, and only reads knives and guns in the troubled times. Now the emperor is gone, and the world is divided, and you want to discuss reason - this is the reason!"

His voice was loud, and he had taken the "reason" and became more and more sonorous. At this point, he lifted the hem of his long gown and raised the toes, and he had already picked up the bench in front of him. Then his body whistled and whirled, and there was a loud bang. The hard bench was broken into two pieces by his turn and swung his legs. The broken stool flew out and smashed some bottles and jars in the store.

Fan Heng, who was at the front, was so scared that he sat down on the stool.

Manager Wu was wearing a long gown before, and everyone thought he was also a scholar. When he swept out the foot, the effect was really beautiful. Only then did he realize that he was also a martial arts master with extraordinary skills. Seeing that the scholars in the lobby were all pale, he was quite proud. He swept his sleeves and slowly lowered his long legs.

"If you want to reason, there is also reason here..." He said slowly, "There are several inns in Tongshan County that have something to do with my Li family. The Li family said that you would not allow you to live, so you would not be able to stay tonight... You can say all your words, you can listen or not. After tonight, there will be no way to go tomorrow."

As he said that, he shook his sleeves and took everyone away from the inn. After leaving the door, he could hear a compliment of a young man: "Mr. Wu's kick is so amazing."

"amazing……"

"Hehe, wherever..."

...

Seeing the amazing effect of the foot, the scholars in the inn were red and white, and their faces were quiet for a while. Only Ning Ji looked at the stool that was kicked out of order and left with satisfaction, drooped his shoulders and sighed a long time.

The shopkeeper who was hiding inside came out to see the situation. Seeing that the things in the lobby were smashed, he was a little embarrassed. He looked around and said, "You can't afford to mess with me, let's go. Sir, you guys want to stay, and the shop dare not take it in." He sighed, shook his head and went back.

"What should I do?" Someone spoke.

Lu Wenke said hoarsely: "Is there really no king's law?"

"Everyone has seen it."

"Maybe... isn't this the county magistrate?" Lu Wenke said, "Even if... no matter how powerful the Li family is, how can the official man let Yijiefu have the final say here? We haven't tried it after all..."

He seemed to have thought about something clearly. At this time, he said something unwilling to accept it. Chen Junsheng walked over and patted his shoulder, sighed.

"I...I still feel..." Lu Wenke's red eyes looked at everyone, looking at the oldest Fan Heng, as if he wanted to gain some support or recognition. Before he finished speaking, there was a movement from the door leading to the backyard, and the woman's weak voice sounded.

"Everyone..." Everyone looked back and saw that Wang Xiuniang, who had just been injured before, was now patched on her face, tears flowed out of her eyes, and she came over with the door frame: "Everyone...sir, let's... go..."

"Xiang Niang, you are..."

Before Fan Heng finished speaking, Wang Xiuniang entered the door and knelt down there: "We are waiting for father and daughter... along the way, we rely on the care of all the gentlemen, and I really don't dare to drag down all the gentlemen..." She acted and wanted to kowtow. Ning Ji had already gone to support her. She cried and said: "Xiang Niang has been in the world since she was a child... and she had originally known that a strong dragon would not suppress local snakes... The Li family in Tongshan is very powerful. Even if you are willing to help Xiuniang, you really shouldn't have fought with him head-on..."

"Xiang Niang wants to leave here...Sir, let's go...I'm afraid..."

She was supported by Ning Ji, and her words were even more swallowed. Tears surged out of her eyes, begging everyone in the lobby. Her eyes seemed to be looking at everyone, but more of them fell on Lu Wenke. Lu Wenke sat in the distance, his eyes were red, but at this moment, he couldn't say a word.

Someone's fist hit the pillar to show his heartache. Some people sighed, and some were silent. Lu Wenke said several times: "Maybe it will be useful to sue the official..." but he finally didn't finish his words.

It's cloudy.

Everyone packed their luggage, hired a carriage, dragged it onto Wang Jiang, Wang Xiuniang and his daughter, and left the inn before evening and left the city gate.

No one said too much along the way. They all knew in their hearts that their group had escaped from here in shame. The situation was stronger than others. Although there was no problem with escaping, more or less humiliation still existed. And before escaping, Wang Xiuniang even gave everyone an excuse to go with the flow.

Ning Ji didn't say much along the way. Among everyone, his expression was the calmest, and he was the most natural when packing his luggage. Everyone thought that a child of his age would hold his anger in his heart, but in this case, he didn't know how to enlighten him. In the end, Fan Heng said half of the sentence to him on the road: "Scholars have the use of scholars, and martial arts are the use of learning martial arts... It's just this world... Alas..."

Ning Ji nodded: "Well, I know."

Fan Heng didn't know what he was telling the truth, but he couldn't tell more truths to enlighten the child.

It was getting late, and they lived in a small market about ten miles outside Tongshan County. After having a simple supper, it was getting late. Ning Ji checked Wang Jiang, who was still unconscious. He had no more ways to get better for the middle-aged man. When he looked at Wang Xiuniang's injuries, Wang Xiuniang was just crying in the room.

Her relationship with Lu Wenke was not confirmed. Lu Wenke looked angry along the way, but he did not take the initiative to come and care about her. In fact, she knew in her heart that this marriage that was originally her high-ranking may not be followed. Lu Wenke was in full bloom and said "too much potential", but in a small place like Tongshan, he ended up suffering a huge humiliation. Even if he was willing to marry her, every time he saw her in the future, he would inevitably think of today's powerlessness - this is the most unbearable humiliation for men.

"...If Uncle Wang can wake up tomorrow morning, that would be a good thing. However, he was injured so seriously that he would not be able to rush to the next few days. I have prepared several prescriptions here... The two prescriptions here are for Uncle Wang to take care of his body for a long time. There is a problem with the hard qigong he practices, and his body will hurt anywhere when he gets old. These two prescriptions can help him..."

"Xiaolong, thank you."

"Um."

Ning Ji nodded and received her thanks.

After leaving the room, Lu Wenke, with red eyes, came over to ask him about Wang Xiuniang's physical condition. Ning Ji answered roughly. He felt that men and women still cared about each other. His mind was no longer here.

After midnight, it was Ning Ji's fifteenth birthday. Everyone present didn't know about this. All the things that happened before made everyone worry. Everyone stayed in a big room for a long time before they fell asleep one after another. When Fan Heng got up at the cottage, he found that there was one person missing in the room. He lit the oil lamp and searched with everyone: "Where is Xiaolong?"

At this time, the little doctor Long Aotian was gone.

Then I also understood: "A young man like him is probably...who doesn't want to walk with us anymore..."

***************

Ning Ji left the inn and walked towards Tongshan County with his luggage. It was night, but for him, it was not much different from the daytime. Walking was similar to traveling around.

After all, I have to separate myself from these scholars. This is also very good, especially on his birthday, which makes him feel very interesting.

Unlike Fan Heng and others who imagined it, he did not think it was a humiliating decision to leave Tongshan County. When a person encounters something, the important thing is to have the ability to solve it. When a scholar meets a hooligan, he must of course leave first. Then he asks people to come back to the scene. Those who practice martial arts can have another solution. This is called a specific analysis of specific examples. The training of the Chinese Army emphasizes blood and courage, but it is also the most taboo to do things blindly without any brains.

Send these people away, then go back by yourself, and have a good talk with Manager Wu. This is a very reasonable approach.

The fool kicked a stool abruptly...

He was almost shocked by the other party's skills...

If it were a group of Chinese army comrades here, they might look at him in amazement and applaud him, and then praise him incredible...

It's time to go back and praise him...
