……
Lao Wang actually escaped, Ao Wu doesn't have the strength to chase him now. He walks up to Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, one knife per person, ending their lives.
He immediately walked into the cave and took out his own mountaineering bag.
Always being called a handsome talent, but I don't even know what this body looks like.
Qiao Wu took out the three willow-leaf knives from the bottom of his bag and hid them on himself, then took out a stainless steel plate, the bright bottom of which reflected a face.
This is a slightly pale extremely handsome face. How can there be such a beautiful man in the world, with clear and elegant features that don't even look like a face, but rather a work of art.
Looking so handsome, no wonder Er Gou took a liking to him earlier. Come to think of it, Er Gou is actually an "art" enthusiast, damn!
Afterwards, I'll be wearing this work of art on my face, isn't that too showy?
Kao Wu couldn't help but feel annoyed.
But then I thought again, with a handsome man by your side, a car to ride in, a horse to ride on, a gun to shoot with, and a secret admirer, what's not good about being handsome?
After figuring it out, Ao Wu was no longer depressed and picked up his backpack to head outside.
But just raised it, and was stunned for a moment.
Just now, Bailian was very curious about this mountaineering bag and tried to open it several times but couldn't. If he brings this bag back, won't the Zhong family ask him about it? At that time, there will be no way to explain.
He gritted his teeth and walked to the edge of the cliff with his backpack, then threw it down.
Although the things in the backpack are good, if they can't be explained, they can't be carried around. If they cause trouble, it's bad.
After handling these, Ao Wu dragged the bodies of the four mountain bandits to a haystack and set them on fire.
He had just killed someone, and although he had used the Dragon's Body Technique to avoid getting blood on himself, a small amount of blood still got onto his clothes. He turned them inside out and put them back on, so it wasn't noticeable. Then he went to the water hole to wash off the blood from his hands, and headed towards Mount Liangfu.
As they walked to the waist of Mount Liangfu, a loud shout in Shandong dialect came from the top of the mountain: "Great King Shan, the ransom has arrived, let my brother-in-law go!"
Hearing this, Ao Wu's impression of the Zhong family improved by 50%.
The Zhong family is not bad, the previous donkey-faced butler even proposed to exchange himself as a hostage. Now they have also sent over the ransom, although I don't know how much 10 yuan is equivalent to in RMB, but I believe it's not a small amount either. The Zhong family was able to come up with it so quickly, still treating themselves as their own people.
"I'm here, I'm back!"
The people on the mountain heard Ao Wu's voice and all looked towards the middle of the mountain, seeing that it was their brother-in-law who had returned, they were all delighted and waved their hands to shout.
One of them was even waving a black cloth strip at Ao Wu... wait, wasn't that the noose from earlier? Oh my god, get out of here!
The donkey-faced housekeeper kicked the big tiger who was waving a towel with his foot, leaving a 42-yard footprint on his buttocks, and scolded: "Don't you hurry to welcome the young master, see if there are any mountain bandits following behind!"
A big and sturdy tiger, with a round face full of radiance, his coarse and thick skin, on the top of his head, the words "Damage Immunity" flashed, he happily responded with an "eh", and brought five or six strong men running towards the mountain waist.
They rushed down the mountain at a speed of 13 seconds per hundred meters, successfully gathering together. Da Hu and several others immediately surrounded and protected their master, each with a fierce gaze, holding hoes, their vigilant eyes scanning every blade of grass and tree, every grain of sand and stone. Although they were just farmers' servants, they were meticulous to the point where every grass and tree was a soldier; although they held only hoes, they had the bravery of a thousand men, truly worthy of being called Shandong good fellows!
"Go!" Da Hu discovered there were no mountain bandits, he waved his hand and said resolutely.
Although they found it strange that no mountain bandits followed, now protecting the young master was the priority. They escorted Ao Wu as he walked up the mountain and met up with Donkey Face Housekeeper.
When he saw the butler, Ao Wu knew that it was better to listen more and speak less, otherwise he would reveal himself. So he just smiled foolishly on his face to express his joy of escaping from death, and after calling out for someone, he didn't say another word.
The housekeeper grasped Ao Wu's hand, excitedly with tears in his eyes, and carefully examined Ao Wu's entire body, checking if he had lost any limbs while with the mountain bandits. After confirming that only his clothes were torn, but all other parts were intact, he finally felt at ease and asked joyfully: "Ah, Master is back safely, I was worried to death! By the way, Master, why did the mountain bandits let you go?"
He raised his head and cast a curious glance at Ao Wu. Ao Wu lowered his head, and it could be seen that the hair of the donkey-faced Guan's family was well-maintained, black and shiny.
The other Han men also raised their heads, casting curious glances at Ao Wu. The two men behind the steward, who were carrying a black wooden box with shoulder poles, also put down the box and looked up at him with their eyes. That wooden box was probably the ten taels of ransom money.
Kao Wu stood among them, for a moment with a sense of being gazed at by thousands.
This special feeling made him realize that Donkey Face and Big Tiger were all half a head shorter than him. By his estimate, they were all around 1.6 meters tall, while he was about 1.8 meters tall, roughly the same as before crossing over. They had to look up at him when talking to him. Earlier, among the mountain bandits, he also found that they were a head shorter than him. It seemed that the historical records of people being generally short in ancient times were true.
Haha, this feeling of standing out from the crowd is really cool!
After becoming a great hero, he will forever enjoy this kind of adoration and admiration from others!
In his heart, Ao Wu had already prepared for the question from the donkey-faced housekeeper. He smiled with a hint of joy and said: "After the mountain bandits took me back, they were cooking and accidentally set fire to the haystack, burning their own cave. I took advantage of the chaos and ran out. Now I don't know if the bandits are chasing after me or not, but I just kept running in this direction!"
The donkey-faced steward listened, narrowed his old flower eyes and looked up at Mount Tai. Sure enough, he saw a thick smoke rising in the distance. The steward didn't know it was the fire burning the corpse, so he believed Ao Wu's words.
"Those mountain bandits are going to get it!" he gritted his teeth and cursed.
Kao Wu nodded in agreement with his words.
Dahu held an axe and said, "Housekeeper, now that the young master is no longer in the hands of the mountain bandits, let's go up and raid the bandits' lair, and take them to see the officials!"
"Master Gū has already come out safely, now it's time to take revenge, but if something unexpected happens and Master Gū gets into trouble again, can you afford to be responsible?" The steward stretched out his 42-code large foot and left another mark on Dà Hǔ's buttocks, blaming him for being impulsive. On Dà Hǔ's forehead, the words "Immune to Injury" floated up again.
"Go back and report to the official to catch them!"
A gentleman takes revenge, even after ten years it's not too late, Ao Wu gives a thumbs up.
The housekeeper turned his head to look at Ao Wu and said with concern: "It's good that the young master is back, I told my wife (the eldest sister) after I got home earlier, and she immediately let me bring 10 taels of silver to redeem the young master. Originally, I wanted to report to the officials, but my wife said that the safety of the young master was important, if the robbers want money, give them money, as long as the person is safe and sound, don't provoke the officials and anger the robbers, harming the young master. That's why we didn't report to the officials. Now that the young master is indeed safe and sound, and the money doesn't need to be given, let's hurry back and not make my wife worry!"
Kao Wu nodded.
"As soon as I get back, I'll report it to the authorities." Datou had been thinking about the mountain bandits all along.
Kao Wu nodded.
The donkey-faced steward waved his hand, and the rear army turned into the vanguard, returning home in triumph.
On the way, the steward persuaded Ao Wu with a bitter mouth: "Brother-in-law, the daughter is also for the good of both families, don't be angry with her. Next year you will take the imperial examination in the capital, and you must pass it. At that time, everything will go smoothly, and I hope Brother-in-law will prioritize your career!"
Listening to him repeating these words, Ao Wu guessed that this must be related to the incident of Xiucai running out to hang himself. In other words, Xiucai hanged himself because he was bullied by his wife at home, felt that life had no meaning, and ran up the mountain to end his own life.
Handsome but enviable, yet so weak in character. Ao Wu despises the extreme behavior of Xiucai and gives a middle finger salute to your deceased soul.
However, even the weakest person will have a desire to live. To strike a person to the point of wanting to die must be very severe. And the wife who gave this blow to Xiucai must be an extremely fierce woman!
Although he had heard the mountain bandits mention before that this wife was named Zhong Qing, a renowned beauty far and wide, Ao Wu couldn't help but think of her as a woman with a face full of scars, a body full of muscles, and arms thicker than thighs.
He couldn't help but shudder at the thought, it was too terrifying, a woman like that, he'd rather divorce her.
The housekeeper didn't know that Ao Wu was secretly plotting against his family's young lady, and he kept nagging him with his words. The old man had good intentions, hoping the two would get along harmoniously, and said many good things about Zhong Qing between the lines, but his mouth was tight-lipped, never mentioning a word about why the two were quarreling. Ao Wu maintained his silence, only able to nod reluctantly.
It's especially that little bit of cleverness, just like a donkey-faced housekeeper who can't help but feel proud of their accomplishment!
Only to see the housekeeper getting more and more excited. Ao Wu hypnotized himself: Wind in his ears, wind in his ears...
Compared to Guan's nagging, the words of a few servants next door caught Ao Wu's attention:
"Look, didn't Master just suddenly grow half a head taller?"
"Is it? It's just one morning and you've grown so much?"
"Could it be that Uncle Hanged himself and stretched his neck?"
"Hmm, that makes sense!" The servants nodded in unison.
The housekeeper stopped nagging at this time, his face turned black, and he coughed.
How can you mention "hanging oneself" in front of your uncle when he has a glass heart?
Several big men stopped talking at once and didn't dare to discuss it again.
How tall? Ao Wu looked at himself and indeed was half a head taller than them. From their words, it turned out that the original body of the scholar was also as short and ugly as theirs, but now he had become tall and handsome. It seemed that this was an effect brought by crossing over. This was really a strange thing, Ao Wu's soul had crossed over, yet he had made the scholar's body taller. The foolish servants attributed the reason for his increased height to the hanging incident, which also saved Ao Wu from wasting brain cells coming up with a reason to deceive them.
"Huh? Isn't that Ah Lai? How did he get here?" Da Hu suddenly pointed at the mountain below and said.
Everyone followed his hand and saw that on the mountain road, there was a man wearing a blue shirt and pants running up the mountain. The man's movements were agile, like a leopard racing in the mountains. I don't know how the servants looked at him, but they all said it was Ah Lai. Ah Lai should be from the Zhong family, running so urgently must be an urgent matter, so everyone quickened their pace to walk towards him.
The servant, Ah Lai, had a pockmarked face. He was about to speak to the steward when he saw Ao Wu and his face lit up with surprise. "Young master," he said, "the young mistress has instructed that after Nian is rescued, you should hurry to the official road outside the west gate of the county and meet her there. The young mistress also instructed that the new son-in-law should go home and take care of the house..."
Running so far and yet speaking without panting, indeed a good fellow from Shandong!
He spoke so hastily, something must have happened in the Zhong family.
The donkey-faced housekeeper's withered hands, like eagle claws, grasped Ah Lai's clothes and asked anxiously: "What happened at home? How is the wife?"
"Nothing's wrong with the young lady, it's Ah Lang (the master)... Ah Lang was detained by Cheng Yuanwai in Dong'a County, saying that he killed Cheng Yuanwai's mother and wants Ah Lang to pay with his life. Now the young lady is taking the family's thousand-year-old ginseng to save Cheng Yuanwai's mother."
