Chapter 5 Breaking the Leg of the Gambler's Son (5)
Looking at the look on the face of Ancestor Glory, Rong Li believed that Ancestor Glory had heard at least half of what he just said, and then he could take the next step.
Thinking about the follow-up plan, Rong Li looked at Ancestor Guangrong who was covering his face tightly and said: "Ancestor Yao, you are my son. After I gave birth to you, I have to take care of you, but a man can rely on you to stand up and walk in the world."
"Myself, I will repay this debt for you, but next time, I don't mind being a person without heirs."
Honorzu's body trembled, but he still refused to let go. Mrs. Liu looked at Rong Li with some worry, but Rongli nodded, "You watch Yaozu at home, I'll go to the village chief's house to ask someone to come and help.
"
Why did you come here to help? Naturally, I wanted to keep an eye on the Liu family and the Honorable Ancestor for Rong Li when Rong Li was out, so as not to arouse the concern of someone who was concerned about the absence of the head of the family, the old people in the family, and the injuries.
The village chief naturally agreed to Rong Li's request, saying that he would arrange a time for his sons to take turns visiting the Rong family to avoid those sneaky rats taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
After receiving the village chief's promise, Rong Li breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, took some money from his pocket and asked the village chief's eldest daughter-in-law, who was big and round, and his third daughter-in-law, who had a hot temper, to prepare meals for Mrs. Liu and Mr. Rong Rongzu.
Send it over.
The village chief looked at the money handed to him and said unhappily: "Why, we have known each other for so many years, and when you were in the most difficult time, you talked to me about money. What did you think of me?"
"I know my brother loves me, so I rudely borrowed money from him, but it's food money. It's not good for me to pay for both people and food. Then what will happen to me? What if I
If you really love me, just accept the money so that Ayu can eat with peace of mind later." Rong Li smiled and insisted that the village chief accept it.
The village chief thought for a moment and took the money. After all, he was not the only one in the family. The whole family had a fixed amount of rations. If he gave out a mouthful for free, the younger ones in the family would definitely have objections, but after taking the money, everything would be fine.
There will be complaints.
The village chief accepted the money, looked at Rong Li and said: "I know you are a capable and successful man, so I shouldn't be so talkative about you, but I regard you as a relative, so I have to ask you this question."
, what are you going to do in three days?"
"We're not selling the house or the land, and the jade pendant can't be moved. You won't be able to raise enough money by doing odd jobs in the town and catching some mountain rabbits and pheasants."
"Looking at the arrangements you have made, it seems that you are going on a far journey, but do you know anyone who can help you and will you be able to come back in three days?" the village chief said, thinking of Rong Li's experience in joining the military camp, and guessed that maybe
It was because he met some people in the military camp that he could help.
As for General Tu, hey, how can they, the common people, dare to disturb the backbone of the country with such a trivial matter.
Rong Li smiled, "I won't go far, I just want to go deep into the mountains to have a fight. If I can catch some good things, Yaozu's debt can be paid off."
"What did you say?" The village chief stood up in shock and looked at Rong Li as if he were a madman.
The village chief's family members who were eavesdropping outside the door also opened their eyes wide, and the timid ones almost screamed.
Daman Village is surrounded by mountains, but it rarely has access to mountains. Because there are wild beasts deep in the mountains and forests, villagers usually only dare to hunt hares, pheasants, etc. at the foot of the mountain or on the edge. But Rong Li wants to
If you go in and give it a try, isn't this a gamble on your life?
"Don't worry, brother, I have a plan in mind and won't risk my life. Before I come back, Ayu and Yaozu will be entrusted to my brother to take care of them!" Rong Li bowed his hand and wanted to say goodbye and leave, but because of the mission
Being cautious, I gave another instruction.
"If I return safely, everyone will be happy. If I die unfortunately, I will ask my elder brother to make the decision for me. Xu Ayu will sell the Rong family's house and remarry, and then sell the Rong family's fields to Yaozu to pay off the debt and redeem the jade pendant.
The road from now on is for him to walk on his own."
After saying that, Rong Li left the village chief's house despite the village chief's dissuasion.
The village chief and his family looked at me and me, but the village chief was so angry that he stamped his feet and chased after me, and the whole family followed suit.
After returning to Rong's house, Rong Li took a look at Mrs. Liu and Ancestor Guangrong, then turned around and went to the main room. He took out the knife that Yuan had been collecting from under the big cabinet in front of the bed, and took the knife that the military doctor at that time specially prepared for Yuan.
After putting on the special shoes, he stood on the ground and could not see any signs of lameness.
This kind of special shoes was specially invented by military doctors to leave a trace of dignity for those brothers who have injured their legs and broken feet.
When worn on the feet, these shoes may be able to balance the human body, or they may look just like ordinary people in appearance, but they are expensive to make and cannot withstand wear and tear. No one would wear them unless it is an important occasion.
The original body has never worn it. He seems to be using his lame foot to punish himself for being young and frivolous.
But Rong Li has to put it on now. He has to give people a reason to believe that he can defeat the beast. With the sword and the blessing of appearance, no matter what he does, he can win people's trust.
Moreover, the original person had been decadent for many years, and once he changed, he had to do it for a reasonable reason. Rong Li had to perform another scene to avoid accidentally revealing his true identity and making people doubt his true identity.
"Master, you can't go, you can't go..." After learning Rong Li's plan from the village chief, Mrs. Liu burst into the house crying, but was stunned when she saw Rong Li's appearance.
This is... this is her man?
"Arong, please listen to my brother's advice, you can't..." The village chief who followed him also opened his eyes wide. Is this man with sharp eyebrows and a murderous aura his brother?
Rong Li looked at the large group of people who suddenly came in, and realized that the village chief had told him his plan, which made him feel a little headache.
If he could, he really didn't want to waste time arranging this and explaining that, but after doing the mission for so long, caution was his top priority for the success of the mission. No matter how strong or confident he was, he couldn't take it lightly.
Even if the ferocious beasts in the mountains are no match for him, he still has to prepare for the worst. He cannot abandon the Liu family and the Honorable Ancestor and go into the mountains without saying anything.
Seeing that everyone was frightened by his aura, Rong Li did not restrain himself. He only smiled bitterly and said: "I taught Yaozu a lesson just now. I hate him for losing that young man who worked hard to make progress, but why am I the same?
"
"I used to be so high-spirited that I would mount my horse to kill the enemy, dismount my horse to drink wine, and sing to my heart's content with my comrades. How wanton and joyful was it? At that time, I was still an ambitious young man who was determined to be a general, to have his wife as his wife, and to have a glorious family background.
Woolen cloth."
"However, once I was frustrated, I felt cowardly. I refused to face failure or accept the reality. I just wanted to escape and numb myself with day-in and day-out work. The young man I once was finally became
A waste just waiting to die!"
"Giving up day after day made me forget everything in the past, and even more so, everything I learned in the military camp. Anyway, there was no need for me to fight to kill. I could just live a simple life as an old man in a farmhouse.
Not bad."
"So, even though I know that my family is not doing well, and that Ayu and I have suffered a lot, I still don't want to change. I just plan to continue to be confused."
"It wasn't until the people from the gambling house knocked on the door, until I found out that Yaozu had become as cowardly as me, that I realized that I was totally wrong. If I was willing to let go of the ridiculous pride in my heart, if I was willing to face my failure, if I
If you work as hard as you did when you were young, how can you let your family live like this?"
Rong Li's words made people feel sad, but they also made people understand a little, and they couldn't help but guess that he really had something to rely on when he entered the mountain this time.
Maybe he learned a lot of skills when he was in the army, but he chose to escape due to temporary setbacks. He chose not to use the skills he learned and just wanted to get by. But with the emergence of Glory Ancestor, he decided to put all his skills into practice.
Pick it up.
Rong Li looked at everyone's reaction, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his attention to Mrs. Liu, "I once fought for the country and never regretted my life and death. Now I can naturally fight for my own family. No matter what the outcome, after all, I will fight for my country."
I have defeated cowardice and regained the proud young man!"
