Li Jun refused the Wu family's invitation without even thinking about it.
Before, Li Jun killed a savage guy in front of everyone. Li Jun felt a little regretful when he thought about it afterwards. At that time, he was also passionate. Li Jun is usually very calm, but he has a fatal flaw.
I hate to see the baby suffer.
Especially the delicate and soft female dolls.
"Brother An, why don't you leave yet?"
An Dawang hesitated for a long time. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Plop~ Kneel down in front of Li Jun.
"Brother An, what are you doing?"
An Dawang banged, kowtowed.
"Brother, you are a man of real ability. Please save the Wu family. The Wu family is a virtuous family. This time, it is said that Mrs. Wu's only son got into trouble. Mrs. Wu has invited all the immortal masters nearby to no avail.
, if something happens to the Wu family’s only son, the Wu family’s property will definitely be at risk, and then our Qingniu Village will suffer!”
Li Jun doesn't understand. What does the accident of the Wu family's only son have to do with Qingniu Village?
An Dawang sighed.
"Does my little brother know how to eat extremely well?"
Li Jun was stunned. He studied folk customs and naturally knew what it means to be exterminated. In ancient times, women's status was extremely low. If a man died and she had no sons, she would not be able to keep her family property. A man's clan relatives could deprive him of his family property at will, and even
Sell women.
Not even if you have a daughter.
Daughters cannot inherit family property, and Merchant Castle is a special case.
Only by giving birth to a son can an ordinary woman keep her family property.
An Dawang told Li Jun.
Most of the fields in Qingniu Village, including the mountains and forests at the back, are owned by the Wu family. The Wu family takes care of the tenant farmers and does not receive much land rent. The mountains and forests at the back of the village are even left to the villagers to manage themselves without asking any questions.
In recent years, thanks to the kindness of the Wu family, the poor people in Qingniu Village have had enough to eat.
The head of the Wu family, Mr. Wu Lingyun, died early, leaving an orphan and a widowed mother to guard the family property. If something happened to the Wu family's only son, just a womanly family would not be devoured by those clans!
"Brother, please save the Wu family, please save Mrs. Wu. You and Mrs. Wu are both the saviors of our An family. The year Xixi was born, our land was hit by a locust plague, and there was no grain harvest. Xixi's mother
She was so hungry that she didn't have a drop of milk, and Xixi was so hungry that she cried loudly. Fortunately, Mrs. Wu was so kind and sent someone to deliver a bowl of goat's milk every day, so Xixi survived."
"If you don't agree, I won't get up."
An Dawang lay on the ground and couldn't get up. Li Jun was beaten so hard that he couldn't do anything. He thought, since the Wu family's evil spirits haven't succeeded yet, their strength must be average. Does Li Jun need to be afraid?
If you do everything cautiously, you will never achieve great things.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll leave now."
Li Jun had nothing to pack. He only brought a change of underwear and a long gown. With Gou Da and Xuan Shui following him, he got on the carriage outside the house. The driver was a black-faced man.
Ever since Li Jun got on the carriage, the black-faced man had been staring at the carriage without saying a word.
Soon, the carriage entered Yishui County.
After turning a few turns, we drove slowly into Wu's house.
The Wu family is not a wealthy family, but just an ordinary wealthy family. The Wu family's house is not tall, it is an ordinary brick house with gravel paving. Roses, osmanthus, moso bamboo and other common flowers are planted in the yard.
There are many maids and servants.
It’s not that the Wu family is so rich, but that manpower is so cheap in this era. It’s cheaper to buy a servant than a sheep. In years of famine, even a bowl of rice can be exchanged for a yellow-flowered girl.
"Wu Jinshi welcomes the immortal master. The immortal master has worked hard all the way. I have prepared fragrant tea in the living room."
After Li Jun got off the carriage, Mrs. Wu and her only son Wu De personally greeted him.
A beautiful woman appeared in Li Jun's sight. She was about thirty years old, with glossy black hair, a clean and delicate face, and a graceful and slender figure, but she was dressed very old-fashioned.
Her hair is tied back with a plain silver hairpin, and she is wearing an old-fashioned robe embroidered with longevity characters. Mrs. Wu is a widow, so naturally she cannot dress brightly and pretty, but her dress is too old-fashioned, and her face is also old-fashioned.
, there is no smile on the face.
Thirty years ago, in the era that Li Jun traveled through, there were still many women who were not married, and the children in this era were all grown up.
Li Jun thought about himself, wouldn't he have become an old bachelor?
The only son of the Wu family felt a bit cowardly, hiding behind his mother with a timid expression, like a woman.
Li Jun nodded.
"It's time to work."
Li Jun followed Mrs. Wu to the living room. The maid offered tea and placed fruits. Among them was a cutting of sesame candy. Li Jun was particularly interested. It was made with glutinous rice, sesame and maltose. It was sweet and glutinous and delicious. Li Jun had never eaten it.
Pass.
He ate several pieces in a row.
It was a bit sweet in my mouth, so I took a sip of tea.
Li Jun put down the tea cup.
"Can you tell me the circumstances of your master's encounter with a ghost?"
Mrs. Wu sighed: "This matter started half a month ago. I took my son back to my late husband's hometown to worship his ancestors. After I came back, my son had nightmares every night. In his dreams, there was always a pond and a female ghost in red.
.
Every time I dream, the female ghost in red moves forward a little bit. Last night, the female ghost in red was about to land, and the child was so scared that he didn’t dare to sleep all night long, hey~”
"I heard that Madam invited many immortal masters before. What did they say?"
Mrs. Wu nodded: "Indeed, it's a pity that they couldn't deal with the female ghost. Instead, they were so frightened that they ran away. They said that the child owed an unjust debt. The female ghost asked the city god to write a letter, and it was inevitable that the child would pay off the debt with his life.
If others don’t understand my son, how could I not understand him? My son has been timid and kind-hearted since he was a child. He doesn’t dare to step on ants when he walks, and he doesn’t often go out to play. He only likes to read and write. How can he owe an unjust debt?” Mrs. Wu?
indignant.
Li Jun looked at Mr. Wu, who looked frail and frail. Just by looking at his appearance, he did feel like a nerd.
Mrs. Wu stood up and saluted solemnly.
"Please ask the Immortal Master to save the child. After the incident is completed, I will reward you with two hundred taels of silver."
A maid came over carrying a wooden tray with snow-white silver in it. In order to facilitate Li Jun's use, Mrs. Wu even carefully cut it open. She took the wooden tray and handed it to Li Jun herself: "This is the deposit.
, one hundred taels of silver, the immortal master will accept it first."
Mrs. Wu has a very good attitude.
Even before Li Jun could exorcise the ghost, he gave him a deposit of one hundred taels.
It can be seen that she really has no choice.
Li Jun is her only hope.
Li Jun was not polite and told the truth.
"Okay, I'll accept the deposit first. Madam, please send the money to Qingniu Village and let the An family help collect it. Madam, I don't want to meddle in other people's business this time. It's An Dawang who begged me hard, and the Wu family
It’s true that I came here to do good deeds and accumulate merit.”
After a pause, Li Jun continued.
"Now, I'll guard you while the young master has a good sleep."
When he heard about sleeping, Wu De shivered with fright.
He shook his head desperately, no, no, no, I'd better endure it and go to bed at night.
