Ninety Thousand Miles Across the Weird World

Chapter 143 The matter of the Wu family
Li Jun didn't even think about it, so he refused the Wu family's invitation.

Before, he killed the savage in full view, and Li Jun regretted it in retrospect. At that time, he also rushed to the head with blood. Li Jun is usually very calm, but he has a fatal flaw.

I can't see the baby suffering.

Especially the kind of delicate and soft girl dolls.

"Brother An, why don't you leave?"

An Dawang faltered for a long time, and suddenly, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Plop~ Kneel in front of Li Jun.

"Brother An, what are you doing?"

An Dawang kowtowed.

"Brother, you are a person with real skills. I beg you to save the Wu family. The Wu family is a family of great kindness. This time, it is said that Mrs. Wu's only son had an accident. It was useless for Mrs. Wu to invite all the immortal teachers nearby , if something happens to the only son of the Wu family, the property of the Wu family will definitely be lost, and our Qingniu Village will be in trouble at that time!"

Li Jun didn't understand, what happened to the only son of the Wu family had an accident, and what did it have to do with Qingniu Village?
An Dawang sighed.

"Brother, do you know how to eat Juehu?"

Li Jun was taken aback. He studied folk customs, so he naturally knew what it means to be extinct. In ancient times, women had a very low status. If a man died and the woman had no sons, she could not keep her family property at all. sell women.

Even if you have a daughter.

Daughters cannot inherit family property, and Merchant Fort is a special case.

Only by giving birth to a son can ordinary women keep their family property.

An Dawang told Li Jun.

Most of the fields in Qingniu Village, including the forest in the back, belonged to the Wu family. The Wu family took care of the tenant farmers and did not receive much land rent.

These years, thanks to the kindness of the Wu family, the mud-legged people in Qingniu Village have enough to eat.

The Wu family was the head of the family, and Master Wu Lingyun died early, leaving an orphan and widow to guard the family property. If something happened to the only son of the Wu family, he would not be swallowed up by those clans with just a woman!
"Brother, I beg you to save the Wu family and Mrs. Wu. You and Mrs. Wu are the saviors of my family. When Xixi was born, our land was plagued by locusts and there was no grain harvest. Mother Xixi The hungry one didn't have a drop of milk, and Xixi was crying loudly, but thanks to the kindness of Mrs. Wu, she sent someone to send 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 straight away. Li Jun was tortured and had no choice but to think, the Wu family's evil spirits hadn't succeeded yet, and his strength must be mediocre. Does he have to be afraid of Li Jun?

If you are cautious in everything, you will never achieve great things.

"Okay, I promise you, let's go now."

Li Jun didn't have anything to pack, he only brought a change of underwear and a long shirt, Gou Da and Xuan Shui followed him, and got into the carriage outside the house, driven by a black-faced man.

After Li Jun got into the carriage, the black-faced man stared at the carriage closely without saying a word.

Soon, the carriage entered Yishui County.

After turning a few turns, he drove slowly into Wu's house.

The Wu family is not a wealthy family, but an ordinary wealthy family. The Wu family's house is not tall, with an ordinary brick house and a paved stone floor. Common flowers such as roses, osmanthus, and moso bamboo are planted in the courtyard.

There are many maids and servants.

It's not to say how rich the Wu family is, but that manpower is too cheap in this era. Buying a servant is cheaper than buying a sheep. In a famine year, even a bowl of rice can be exchanged for a golden girl.

"Wu Jinshi respectfully welcomes the immortal master. The immortal master has worked hard all the way. My concubine has already prepared fragrant tea in the living room."

After Mr. Li got off the carriage, Mrs. Wu took her only son Wu De to greet him in person.

A beautiful woman appeared in Li Jun's line of sight, about thirty years old, with black and shiny hair, a delicate face, a graceful and slender figure, but she was dressed very old-fashioned.

Her hair is tied up behind her head, a plain silver hairpin is inserted, and she is wearing an old-fashioned gown with embroidered birthday characters. Mrs. Wu is a widow, so she can't dress up brightly and pretty, but her dress is too old-fashioned, and her face is also old-fashioned. , there is no smile on his face.

Thirty or so, in the era when Li Jun traveled, there were still many unmarried women, and the children were all grown up in this era.

Li Jun thinks about himself, isn't he also an old bachelor?
The only son of the Wu family felt a little cowardly, hiding behind his mother, with a timid expression, like a woman.

Li Jun nodded.

"It's work."

Li Jun came to the living room with Mrs. Wu, and the maid presented tea and fruit. Among them, there was a piece of cut sesame candy, which Li Jun was particularly interested in. It was made of glutinous rice, sesame, and maltose. It was sweet and delicious, and Li Jun had never eaten it. Pass.

He ate several pieces in a row.

It was a little sweet and greasy in the mouth, and I took a sip of green tea.

Li Jun put down his teacup.

"Can you tell me about the situation of the young master's encounter with a ghost?"

Mrs. Wu sighed: "This matter started half a month ago. The concubine took the child back to my husband's hometown to worship the ancestors. After returning, the child had nightmares every night. In the dream, there was always a pond, and a female ghost in red .

Every time I had a dream, the female ghost in red would move forward a little bit. Last night, the female ghost in red was about to go ashore, and the child was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night, 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 solve the female ghost, and instead ran away in fright, saying that the child owed a wronged debt, and the female ghost invited the city god's document, and the child was bound to pay the debt with his life.

Others don't know Xiao'er, so how can I not understand him? My son has been timid and kind since he was a child. He dare not step on ants when he walks. He doesn't go out to play very much. He only likes to read and write. How could he be in debt? " Mrs. Wu was indignant.

Li Jun looked at Mr. Wu's family, he looked weak, just looking at his appearance, he really looked like a nerd.

Mrs. Wu stood up and saluted solemnly.

"Please ask the immortal master to save the child. After the matter is completed, I will reward you with 200 taels of silver."

A maid came over with a wooden tray, in which there was snow-white silver. For the convenience of Li Jun, Mrs. Wu even cut it carefully. She took the wooden tray and handed it to Li Jun herself: "This is the deposit. , 100 taels of silver, the immortal master will accept it first."

Mrs. Wu's attitude is very good.

Even before Li Jun exorcised the ghost, he gave a deposit of 100 taels.

It can be seen that she really has nothing to do.

Li Jun is her only hope.

Li Jun is not polite, tell the truth.

"Okay, I'll accept the deposit first. Madam, please send the money to Qingniu Village and ask the An family to collect it. Madam, I don't want to be nosy this time. It was An Dawang who begged hard, and the Wu family It is true that I am doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, so I came here."

After a pause, Li Jun continued.

"Now, I'll take care of it, young master, get a good night's sleep."

When he heard about sleeping, Wu De shivered in fright.

He shook his head desperately, no, no, I'd better endure it and go to bed at night.
