Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 235

In the mansion in the middle of the mountain, unlike the main building, there are few people around the remote hut, and the servants have been warned not to approach.

The inhuman screams kept coming out, and the hairs of those who heard it stood on end.

"what……"

A scream came again, and Wu Mengting at the door trembled, and subconsciously grabbed the things in her hand.

Before she could hesitate, a man's voice came from behind: "Why are you still here?"

Wu Mengting turned her head and shed tears when she saw the person coming: "Second brother, I, I'm scared."

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Wu Jie's eyes, but a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Meng Ting, it's been so long, haven't you gotten used to it yet?"

"Second brother managed to persuade the Du family to spend manpower and material resources to bring you over. It's not for you to stand here and say you're afraid."

Wu Mengting bit her lower lip: "Second Brother, I..."

"Okay." Wu Jie was a little impatient, "If you are not my sister, but a member of my Wu family, this matter is not up to you at all, or you plan to go back and be a wife to an old man and a stepmother to a group of white-eyed wolves. ?”

Wu Mengting was shocked, no, she must not go back.

Looking at the exquisite dress, leather shoes, and skin that is slightly better after spending a lot of money on care, Wu Mengting will never give up her current life.

Even though she had to pay some price, the price she paid in order to avoid labor back then was even greater.

Seeing the change in her expression, Wu Jie said with a smile: "Just figure it out, it's just a few days of grievances, you just have to bear it."

"Second brother, I know."

"Go."

Wu Mengting plucked up her courage, walked into the hut with a food box, and opened the door. It was a sunny day outside, but the inside of the room was pitch black, and even the windows were covered with thick curtains.

Thinking of the contents inside, Wu Mengting also felt sick in her heart, but she had no way out.

When Wu Xuanxuan's notice was stolen back then, Wu Mengting thought she could be an impostor, but who knew that the Wu family found out so quickly, they almost followed her to Beijing.

Wu Mengting is not a fool, she knew the plan had failed at a glance.

Just when she was planning to have a showdown with the Wu family and make Wu Xuanxuan feel bad for herself, someone found her and gave her another choice.

Luxurious manors, considerate servants, endless delicacies from mountains and seas, and endless silks and satins to wear, this is the life Wu Mengting dreams of.

Wu Mengting showed a smile, except for the age marks in the corners of her eyes, she was also pretty and lovely, which was Qian Zhiyi's favorite appearance.

"Brother Zhiyi, I brought you food..."

"Get out!" Wu Mengting was interrupted by a sharp shout.

Wu Mengting didn't seem to hear it, put down the food box, and said with a smile: "Today I personally cook and made your favorite shortbread, you should try it anyway."

"Tell you to get lost, didn't you hear?" Her answer was a smashed bottle at her feet. If Wu Mengting hadn't dodged quickly, it might have hit her directly.

Wu Mengting screamed and took a step back.

The light leaking from the door allowed her to clearly see the person inside the door. Qian Zhiyi, who was once sunny and handsome, tall and burly, no longer looked like he used to.

He curled up on the chair, his whole figure was like a shadow, if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that he is old like an old man who is dying.

Every time she saw Qian Zhiyi like this, Wu Mengting was terrified in her heart.

But she could only pretend that she wasn't afraid or cared, and approached him with tenderness and love.

"Brother Zhiyi, people are iron and rice is steel, how can you do without food, people only have a chance if they live..."

I don't know which sentence touched Qian Zhiyi, he asked, "Have you found it?"

Wu Mengting was taken aback.

Qian Zhiyi looked at his wrinkled hands, the feeling that life was being sucked out of his body, made him extremely afraid and frightened, but he was helpless.

"I shouldn't have come, I shouldn't have come."

If he had known that Hong Kong was another abyss, he might as well have accepted his fate and stayed in that small mountain village, at least with his wife and children by his side, at least he would not have to face such an end.

Thinking of that child, Qian Zhiyi was engulfed in guilt and pain, but this failed to awaken his conscience, and instead set his sights on Wu Mengting.

"Is your stomach still moving?"

Wu Mengting was stiff all over, she reluctantly replied: "Not yet."

"Then ask your second brother to find a few more. Isn't it all surnamed Qian? Then why should it be me?"

The insane words made Wu Mengting back away in fear.

Her actions angered Qian Zhiyi, who roared angrily: "What are you afraid of, you, your good second brother, and even the entire Du family live in my life, all of which should be mine. "

"If I die, don't think about it, the Du family will be next."

Venting anger made Qian Zhi burst out with strength, grabbed Wu Mengting and wanted to do it, so frightened that Wu Mengting pushed hard, and pushed him directly far away.

The once strong man couldn't stand Wu Mengting's gentle push, and fell straight down.

After the panic, Wu Mengting calmed down, but seeing Qian Zhiyi lying there, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, she suddenly panicked: "Brother Zhiyi, are you all right, brother Zhiyi?"

Seeing that Qian Zhiyi didn't respond, Wu Mengting panicked and went out to call for help.

Wu Jie didn't expect that he had tried so hard to bring Wu Mengting over to appease Qian Zhiyi's emotions, but instead it would have such a consequence.

Seeing his own sister again, Wu Jie stretched out his hand and slapped him: "Trash!"

Wu Mengting's cheeks suddenly became red and swollen, but she didn't dare to refute or be wronged, she only said with tears in her eyes, "I just pushed him lightly."

Wu Jie was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, he just waited for rescue with a gloomy face.

Soon, the doctor came out with a strange expression on his face: "Mr. Wu, the gentleman inside is in very bad health, his internal organs have declined badly, we can only put him on a ventilator first, but I'm afraid it won't last. It won't be long."

"To put it bluntly, his internal organs are overloaded, and he is not even as good as a centenarian."

Wu Mengting breathed a sigh of relief at first, Qian Zhiyi's fainting had nothing to do with him, but then she raised her heart again.

Sure enough, her second brother's face was even uglier.

Wu Jie calmed down quickly, and looked at his sister: "You stay here, if he can wake up, remember to hold him first."

Wu Mengting nodded quickly.

Wu Jie left in a hurry.

Patriarch Du was furious when he heard the news, pointing at Wu Jie and cursing: "I trust you, so I entrusted him to you. In the end, is that how you took care of him?"

"It's in vain that I listened to your words and brought your sister here. It's a waste of effort."

Wu Jie let him scold him head and face, and when he finished scolding, he opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Du, the most urgent thing is to find a solution, otherwise if this continues, the backlash will be uncontrollable."

Patriarch Du sneered and said, "Wu Jie, do you think that backlash will only be aimed at those surnamed Du, and has nothing to do with your surname Wu?"

"I'm telling you, if something happens to the Du family, I will drag you to be buried with me before I die."

Wu Jie hurriedly said: "Patriarch, this subordinate absolutely has no such intention."

"We're on the same boat, and my subordinates absolutely don't want to do anything harmful to the Du family."

"It's just that the news is blocked now, and we don't know what happened, why the backlash is getting stronger and stronger."

"Your surname Wu is the most duplicitous." Patriarch Du snorted coldly, "I don't believe what you say, I only believe in myself."

"I don't think you will forget how many handles you have in my hands."

Embarrassment flashed across Wu Jie's heart, and he quickly suggested: "Patriarch Du, Qian Zhiyi has no heirs, but there is still a living Qian family in Beijing."

"That person—" I don't know what to think of, and a trace of defense flashed in Du's eyes, "You can't move."

Wu Jie was puzzled.

Obviously, the Qian family had been thinking of ways before and set their minds on Mr. Gu, so why was the head of the Du family so afraid of him.

Patriarch Du waved his hand impatiently: "If you want to try it, try it, as long as you don't regret it."

"Instead of spending time on the Qian family, it's better to look for the Bai family. It must be them, otherwise the backlash won't come so fast and so fast."

Wu Jie tentatively asked: "Patriarch, is there really anyone alive in the Bai family? Back then..."

Patriarch Du's face darkened: "There are always fish that slip through the net."

Wu Jie nodded, and said: "Now the situation has changed, I will send people back to investigate first, starting from Shanghe Village to find out what happened."

"Alright."

Patriarch Du said darkly: "I don't know which chess piece made a mistake."

The two discussed for a while, and Wu Jie suddenly mentioned another matter: "Wei Cheng, who is in the United States, is trying to find a way to go back. Do you want to intervene in this matter?"

Patriarch Du frowned, but still shook his head and said, "In troubled times, it's not appropriate to add more enemies."

"Okay, this subordinate knows what to do."

Wu Jie was respectful on the surface, but in his heart he laughed at the benevolence of the mistress of the Du family. Since he had done something back then, he should have killed all the Wei family members, but Wei Cheng was left behind.

However, Wei Cheng is a capable person. After escaping, he made a living and bought a family business abroad. Compared with the two mediocre and incompetent sons and daughters of Patriarch Du, who are full of careful thinking, But it's too strong.

Fortunately, Wei Cheng didn't know much about what happened back then, so even going back would be of no use.

As the policy is gradually opened up, it is no longer difficult for overseas Chinese to return to China.

It's just that those who have left now are worried about being restricted when they go back, so many have thoughts in their hearts, but few have actually set foot on the territory of the motherland.

Wei Cheng is one of them.

As an overseas Chinese businessman with great influence abroad, Wei Cheng received a very grand welcome.

After the entertainment, Wei Cheng went straight to Daishan City with two assistants.

He knew that there must be eyes watching behind him, but Wei Cheng didn't care anymore, he just wanted to go back to Daishan City quickly and find his former lover.

The assistants took turns to drive, and when they finally arrived in Daishan City, Wei Cheng looked at the scenery outside the window and couldn't help but say, "Nothing seems to have changed."

"They missed the opportunity to take off and wasted ten years in vain." The assistant commented.

His assistant is also an overseas Chinese, but unlike him, the two are descendants of laborers and were born on the other side.

After saying this, the assistant subconsciously looked at the boss.

There was no change on Wei Cheng's face, and he said lightly: "If you miss it, just catch up. I believe that one day he will catch up."

"It doesn't matter if it hasn't changed, I can find my way home if I haven't changed."

The assistant felt strange in his heart, and secretly wondered if his boss was not from Beijing. Two days ago, they were accompanied by the local leaders and returned to the old house where the boss lived. Why has it changed again now?

Naturally, Wei Cheng would not explain to his assistant. He tried hard to recall, but found that after nearly 20 years, there was nothing to do with the place, but his memory was already blurred.

The car drove around the streets of Daishan City for several laps, until the gasoline was about to run out, and Wei Cheng agreed to find a place to live first.

The Li family still lives in the family building. The people living there are old, and the building is also old, but it does not hinder the raising of generations.

Because she doesn't admire her eldest son, Li's mother has always lived with her younger son, helping them with laundry, cooking and taking care of their children, and getting along well with her younger daughter-in-law.

On this day, she moved a bench as usual and sat at the door to choose vegetables.

The daughter-in-law came back in a hurry, saw her working and said, "Mom, why didn't you let me do it? You just got out of the hospital and need to rest well."

Mother Li smiled and said, "Where is it so delicate, it doesn't take much effort."

"The doctor said, you need to take good care of your illness. Don't sit if you can lie down. Don't you want to go to the hospital when you are exhausted? It won't cost you much money."

As the Li family spoke, they snatched the work from the mother-in-law.

Mother Li smiled, and said, "I'm not thinking that it would be troublesome for you to rush around at noon."

"What's the trouble?"

The Li family acted swiftly, and quickly packed up their things, and then asked: "Mom, is Ah Xing Ah Chen coming over in a few days?"

Mother Li nodded and said, "They have been admitted to university, and they have to go to Beijing to enroll after the summer vacation. They said they would come to see me before leaving."

The Li family said with a smile: "If you want me to say that although the second sister left early, she is very lucky. Both of her children have grown up. If the two of our family can learn from their cousin, I will be happy even if I die. .”

Mother Li disagreed with these words: "People, you have a future when you live, and you have nothing when you die."

"Why not? Although the two sides don't have much contact, A Xing and A Chen also recognize you as a grandmother and A Bin as an uncle. It's good for their two cousins."

Originally, two big nephews suddenly appeared, and Li Libin often sent things to them, the Li family was not happy.

But who knew that these two elder nephews were so good at studying, they were both admitted to high school, and she immediately fell in love with them.

While cooking, the Li family said, "Mom, when they come, you ask them to teach the two grandchildren well, so that they don't fail the exams and don't know what to do at all."

Mother Li knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will tell them when the time comes."

One of the two cooks, and the other sits at the door to rest. It is very harmonious to say this.

At this moment, there was a movement at the stairway, but two people carried a wheelchair up, and a person sat on it.

Mother Li glanced casually at first, but when she saw the man clearly, her expression darkened, and she roared angrily, "What are you doing here!"

"aunt……"

"Who is your aunt, go away, you are not very welcome here." Mother Li stood up, grabbed the broom and tried to drive people away.

The two assistants hurriedly protected the employer: "Old lady, if you have something to say, don't do anything."

"Get out, I have nothing to say to you." Mother Li only felt angry.

The Li family heard the commotion outside, and came out to see that her mother-in-law was chasing people away with a broom, and there was a big man on the opposite side: "What are you doing, two big men are bullying an old lady."

"Big guy, come out and have a look, it's all bullying."

Suddenly, a circle of people came out.

"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings." The assistant quickly explained.

Li's mother was so excited that her whole body was on the verge of collapse. Li's family hurriedly supported her: "Mom, please be patient. The doctor said you can't get angry. Who are you and what are you doing at my house?"

The assistants are all elites. How can they be so embarrassed when their suits are messed up, their hair is loose, and they have to be pointed out by the people around them.

"The one in the suit, who is it?"

"What are you doing at Lao Li's house?"

"The old ladies of the Li family are so old and in poor health, how can they bully others like this."

Wei Cheng, who was protected behind him, was not seriously injured, but his face turned pale, and he stared at Mother Li with dark eyes: "Auntie, I was wrong, but please give me a chance to explain."

The Li family was stunned: "Mom, do you know each other?"

"I don't know you, go away." Li's mother pulled his daughter-in-law into the door, and the closed door expressed her refusal.

Wei Cheng already knew what kind of treatment he would face, and there was no anger on his face: "Put the things down, let's come back tomorrow."

The assistant looked at each other and quickly put the things down.

When the Li family heard the commotion outside, they came out to take a look, and they were startled.

I saw that the gifts they brought piled up the corridor to the brim, almost leaving them at the door next door.

The neighbor also asked strangely: "Hey, that is your relative. There are such rich relatives in your family. Look at this box is actually a bird's nest. This is the first time I have seen a bird's nest in my life."

Where did the Li family know, so they had to deal with it: "Maybe they are relatives from my mother's side."

She was hesitant to take the things in. They were all precious, so what if they were stolen outside?

But Li's mother shouted inside: "Let him take it all away, even if I starve to death, I won't eat a bite of rice from him."

The Li family was in a dilemma.

It so happened that Li Libin came back at this time, and the Li family hurriedly said: "It just so happens that you are back."

She hurriedly said what happened just now, and said: "These are all good things. They drove away, so we can't pile them up at the door."

Li Libin frowned when he heard this, and when he entered the room, Li's mother was so angry that her face was blue and she was lying on the bed crying.

"Mom, is it that person?" Li Libin asked.

Li's mother grabbed his hand: "Sin, since he left, why did he come back?"

Li Libin's face turned cold: "This bastard, I'll find him."

"Don't go, don't go." Li's mother grabbed his hand, "Forget it, don't make things big."

But they didn't want to make a fuss, and they couldn't stop Wei Cheng from coming every day. Even if Li's mother blocked the door and scolded them harshly, throwing out all the gifts he brought, Wei Cheng was not angry, and just came to the door again and again.

Many times, even the neighbors persuaded: "Mrs. Li, what kind of hatred do you have? She is sincere. If you have a broken leg, you will be carried up and scolded every day. You are almost done."

"What do you know?" Mother Li held her breath, unable to speak out.

Immediately after thinking about it, Mother Li's face changed, A Xing and A Chen would have to come over in a few days, if this stalemate continues, what if the two sides meet?

No!

Wei Cheng is ready for a long-term battle. He knows what will happen to the people left behind when he left, so even if Mother Li scolds him and drives him away, he will not be angry. Find Li Lijuan.

Who knows that a few days later, when he came to the door again, although Li's mother looked extremely ugly, she still opened the door: "You come in, let's chat."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the person behind him: "You come in alone."

"Boss?" The assistant was obviously worried.

"It's okay." Wei Cheng operated the wheelchair by himself and walked into Li's house.

Mother Li glanced over the wheelchair, paused for a moment, but quickly looked away: "You come to the door again and again, just to find Lijuan, but you won't come here in the future."

Wei Cheng's heart sank: "Auntie, I really know I was wrong. A lot of things happened back then. I hope to see her and tell her..."

Mother Li sneered, "You're late, she won't be able to hear you for the rest of her life."

"Lijuan has already left, almost 20 years ago."

Wei Cheng's expression froze: "Gone? Where did she go?"

Mother Li just looked at him coldly: "I went underground, maybe I have crossed the Naihe Bridge by now, drank Mengpo soup, and reincarnated as someone else's daughter. Foolish to meet a heartless person."

Wei Cheng's face turned pale, and he looked at Mother Li in disbelief.

Li's mother continued: "I don't know how many difficulties you have, and I don't want to know. Those who are willing to listen are dead, and now it is useless for you to tell me, an old woman."

"Since you left back then, why come back now?"

"Wei Cheng, if you still have any feelings for Lijuan, please go away."

"I'm an old woman who lost her daughter early on. I just got over it these years. Now when I see you, I think of what happened back then."

"Even if I beg you, hurry up and don't disturb our family's life."

Wei Cheng's throat was sore and he couldn't speak for a moment.

After a long time, he asked with difficulty: "Where is she buried?"

Mother Li just turned around: "Before she died, she blamed you and said she never wanted to see you again, so don't bother her cleanliness anymore."

Wei Cheng's eyes were full of bitterness. He lowered his head and bowed laboriously: "Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you."

Mother Li turned her head and didn't look at him.

The assistants stood guard outside and breathed a sigh of relief when Wei Cheng came out intact, but they were keenly aware of Wei Cheng's complexion.

"boss?"

"Let's go, you don't have to come here again."

The assistant looked at each other and moved him downstairs.

As expected, Wei Cheng didn't come again, and Li's mother was relieved when she saw this.

But Li Libin hesitated and said: "Mom, is it really okay for us to hide it like this?"

"He killed your sister, do you want to speak up for him?" Mother Li only had disgust for Wei Cheng.

Li Libin shook his head quickly: "No, but...do I have to tell Ah Xing Ah Chen?"

Li's mother said: "Ah Xing Achen has such a good relationship with his current father. Gu Mingdong has worked so hard to raise them and they can still go to college. These are old things. Why tell them again? On the contrary, it will ruin the family." human affection."

Upon hearing this, Li Libin also agreed.

Mother Li explained again: "It's good that we know about Wei Cheng, don't tell your wife."

"understood."

Mother Li sighed: "I have to keep it from your elder brother, back then... if your elder brother knew about it, maybe there would be more trouble."

The mother and son reached an agreement, but they didn't know that Wei Cheng had been here for a few days, and the expensive gift was widely circulated. Although the boss of the Li family didn't come here all year round, he also heard the news.
