Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 515 New Identity (2)
Their family had lived a poor and peaceful life.Unexpectedly, it was soon broken by a chance encounter.Li Yu is not only gentle and quiet, but also very beautiful, and is quite famous in Lihua Town.During the Chinese New Year last year, Li Yu went to visit relatives, and was spotted by bullies in the county.The bully had someone snatch Li Yu away on the spot.After Li Qi found out, he came to the door to ask for someone, and was beaten bloody by the bully.Li's family went to the county government to file a complaint, but the magistrate and the bully's family collude and shirked.After Li Yu was snatched back to the bully's house, he refused to obey and hit a pillar to his death.

Li Qi and Wang were so angry that they couldn't get up from bed.Although Li Qi is a scholar, he is quite temperamental.After his body recovered a bit, he began to plot revenge.After careful planning, he finally seized the opportunity and killed the bully.Afterwards, he was afraid that Dong Chuang's incident would happen, so he brought his wife and children to Luocao to become a bandit.It's a pity that his health was not good, and because of Li Yu's death, he was seriously injured again, so he let go of him not long after.Only the orphan and widow are left here to live a difficult life.

Li Zhu learned from Li Hui's words that the bandits were also classified into ranks.Big bowls of drinking and big mouthfuls of meat are just the treatment of a small number of people.They are either strong in martial arts, have made many meritorious deeds, or have friendship with the boss.Like ordinary minions, they don't get this kind of treatment.And with the death of their father, their family lost all their treatment.My mother, Mrs. Wang, usually helps the people in the cottage to cook, starch, wash clothes, and gets a little ration to make ends meet.Li Zhu and Li Hui also went to dig small fish and shrimps in wild vegetable nets to subsidize rations.

The cottage, Jichuan Prefecture.Li Zhu's heart skipped a beat.

She quickly asked: "Who is the leader here? Is his surname Ning?"

As soon as Li Hui mentioned the big boss, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "That's right, it's the big boss Ning. I secretly watched him practice the navy, and he's very impressive."

Li Zhu sat down slumped.She actually passed through Li Zhu's body and became Ning Ximai's minion. What a deep bond she has with him.

"Sister, sister. What's wrong with you? Are you afraid of him?" Li Hui asked puzzled.

Li Zhu shook his head, smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid of him."

They were talking, and Mrs. Wang had already cooked the meal.She was carrying a pot of noodle soup with beaten egg flowers and some wild vegetables.

The three of them ate briefly.Li Zhu said he wanted to go out for a walk.

As soon as she got up, she touched her waist with her hand and accidentally touched a hard object.Li Zhu took it out and took a look.This is a green jade pendant with the words "Eternal Peace" engraved on the back.Li Zhu felt that he had seen this jade pendant somewhere before.

After staring at it for a while, she suddenly remembered, isn't this Ning Ximai's jade?He still came to her door to ask for money?But how did this jade get into Li Zhu's hands?
However, Li Hui quickly answered her doubts: "Second sister, don't keep taking it out to look at it outside. If you are recognized, you will have to go back."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang asked the reason, and immediately said: "If you pick up something from someone else, it will be returned to the original owner."

Li Hui curled his lips in disbelief: "Their things are all stolen, and the second sister picked them up, so why should they return them?"

Wang Shi was startled when she heard the words, and then sighed deeply.She looked at her son with worried eyes, disapproving of what he said, but there was nothing she could do.

Li Zhu was thinking at this moment, how would she return the jade pendant to Ning Ximai?

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a rough and loud voice outside the door: "Is Mrs. Li at home? I heard that Ah Zhu is sick again?"

When Wang Shi heard this man's voice, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her expression became ugly.On the other hand, Li Hui had an angry expression on his face, and he clenched his small fists tightly.

Li Zhu didn't understand what was going on.
