After Wu Qianqing learned about Wu Chu, he first waited for people from other courtyards to visit Wu Chu, and then he took Guan Tong and set off from Shu Qingyuan slowly, no longer rushing out to visit as soon as he got the news. Among the opponents, he is often the first person to arrive at the opponent's courtyard.
Not long after they went to Shu Jingyuan, they came back soon.
Wu Ruo, who hadn't left Wu's house yet, said in surprise, "Father, mother, why did you come back so soon?"
With a sullen face, Wu Qianqing sat down on the chair without saying a word.
Guan Tong's eyes were a little red, and he choked up and said, "Xiao Chu was hurt too badly, when we went to Shu Jing Yuan, he was already gone.
Wu Ruo's brows twitched slightly, a little unexpected, unexpectedly Wu Chu died just like that.
Wu Zhu and Wu Xi couldn't believe what they heard: "How could this happen? Who hurt the third brother?"
Wu Qianqing sighed: "Your uncle thinks that An Run did this, and he took people to the Peking University courtyard just now. Xiao Ruo, you go back first, and when the funeral is held, you can come over to see Xiao Chu off for the last time." One ride."
"Yes." Wu Ruo and Hei Xuanyi left Wu's house together.
Back in the room of the Heifu, Wu Ruocai asked the corpse, "How did Wu Chu die?"
The corpse also replied: "After Wu Chu left Wu's house, our people sent a letter to Wu Anrun. When Wu Anrun learned that Wu Chu was out drinking alone, he sent someone to assassinate Wu Chu. Wu Chu was defeated and died. In their hands, our people have left clues for Wu Qianjing and the others, as long as they send someone to investigate, they will soon find Wu Anrun."
"That's good." Wu Ruo hooked her lips: "In the future, life in the Wu family will become very lively.
Early the next morning, Wu Zhu and Wu Xi came to Hei Mansion to pick up Wu Ruo to attend Wu Chu's funeral.
Since the person who died was a young junior, the funeral cannot be held in a grand manner, and white-haired people cannot attend the funeral, so Wu Qianjing entrusted this matter to his elder son Wu Anqi to handle it.
Wu Anqi set up the funeral in the Wu Family Ancestral Hall on the outskirts of Gaoling City. The ceremony was very simple and deserted. There were not many people who came to the funeral, and they were all young people of the junior generation.
Wu Xi got down from the carriage and said in a low voice: "Human life is so fragile, if it is gone, it will be gone.
Wu Zhu frowned: "Cousin An Run is too ruthless, even assassinating his relatives for a woman."
Wu Ruo pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Have you confirmed that cousin An Run did it?"
"Well, the evidence is convincing. The token of the Peking University Courtyard was found at the place where the third brother was killed. Uncle asked for one life for one life, and the uncle of the Peking University Courtyard naturally refused. Now our South University Courtyard and the Peking University Courtyard are very tense. Great-grandfather doesn't know how to deal with this matter for the time being, after all Jing's palms and backs are fleshy, the punishment is light and unfair to uncle, but the punishment is heavy, there will definitely be another life for the Wu family."
What makes Wu Zhu feel the most sad is that Wu Chu has not yet successfully practiced and cannot be crowned as the generation of An. After his death, the tablet cannot enter the Wu family's ancestral hall at all, which means that he will not be recognized by the Wu family as a descendant of the Wu family.
When they came to the entrance of the ancestral hall, they all took the initiative to keep silent.
The interior of the ancestral hall was all white, with a large founding letter hanging on the main wall, and a black coffin in the center of the hall, and Wu Anqi and his younger siblings stood by and wept softly. Those who attended the funeral first offered incense, and then comforted the relatives of the deceased, then turned and left the hall.
Wu Ruo glanced around the ancestral hall, and saw that the cousins in the South Courtyard were all quietly looking at them. To be precise, they were all staring at Wu Zhu and Wu Xi.
If he had guessed correctly, they would have seen what material Wuzhu and Wuxi's waist pendants were made of.
Wu Xi also seemed to notice their gazes, and quietly pulled Wu Zhu's sleeve, and whispered, "Brother, I want to leave here."
Seeing that everyone was there, Wuzhu didn't want to leave immediately after arriving. However, he also found that some people were staring at them all the time, so he said, "Let's go outside the hall."
"Yeah." Wu Xi nodded quickly, walked out of the hall, let out a big breath immediately, and then whispered to Wuzhu: "Brother, have you found out? Brother Seven and the others have been staring at us, their eyes are so fierce and terrifying, It's like they're going to eat us."
"Don't be afraid." Wuzhu patted her on the shoulder: "They probably still remember the dowry, we don't need to pay attention to them."
"Well." Wu Xi looked at Wu Ruo and comforted him: "Second brother, don't be afraid, we will protect you."
Wu Ruo was a little dumbfounded when she heard the words, but also felt very moved.
At this time, Wu Yu came out and walked in front of them with a smile: "Fourth Brother, Xiao Ruo, Xiao Xi, so you are all hiding here. It's so cold here, why don't you go in to escape the cold wind?"
Wu Zhu said: "Seeing Third Brother go away like this, I was really sad, so I came out to get some air.
Wu Yu sighed softly: "No one would have expected this to happen, so don't be too sad, by the way, I've come out to find you one thing."
Wuzhu asked: "What's the matter?"
"The thing is like this. Some time ago, the fourth uncle received a big task. After the task is completed, we will get 200,000 taels of silver in the South University courtyard. Originally, I didn't intend to tell you about this matter. After all, the third uncle is Lingtian... "
Speaking of this, Wu Yu paused for a moment, and continued: "But last time because of the Xizha Theater, our South University Court lost a large sum of money, so that the South University Court could not distribute the money to the other courtyards in a short time. In this way, there is a high possibility that your Shuqingyuan will not be able to distribute monthly silver to your servants, so I want you to complete this task with Fourth Uncle and the others. After all, Shuqingyuan is the only one Fourth Brother, you and Xiaoxi have spiritual powers, but Xiaoxi is still young, so it is impossible for Fourth Uncle to let her go, but you are different. For you to join this mission, first, you can get money, and second, you can get money in advance. Learning from experience, it is possible to count this task into the assessment of experience."
Wu Ruo sneered in her heart.
He didn't believe that his uncles were willing to give them 40,000 taels of silver.
Wuzhu frowned.
Since his father was injured, Shu Qingyuan's income has been decreasing day by day, and now the courtyard's expenditures are all based on the silver taels his father saved before, so he has long thought about taking on some tasks to earn money to support his family, but , his father has never been allowed to accept private work.
Wu Xi pouted: "I want to go too."
She also wants to share some burdens with her family.
Wu Ruo asked: "Fifth brother, can you tell me what the task is?"
"This... Wuyu whispered: "I only know that I want to catch a big monster, but I don't know about the others. Because I suffered some injuries some time ago, and now it's almost time to go out for training, so my father didn't let me participate, so he didn't tell me. "Wu Ruo's eyes moved slightly when he heard the word 'big monster', and he already guessed where his fourth uncle received the mission from.
He said meaningfully: "Really?"
Wu Yu had a feeling of being seen through, and suddenly, she felt extremely guilty, and did not dare to look Wu Ruo directly in the eyes. However, it is impossible for this useless waste to know what he was thinking, so he calmed down: "The main reason why I proposed to let the fourth brother participate in this task is because the fourth brother is about to go out to practice, and he must not let go of the family affairs , but if you get the money from the task, the situation will be different, not only will the burden of the third uncle be alleviated, but the worries of the fourth brother will also be much less."
Wuzhu said: "But, will Fourth Uncle and the others agree to my going?"
"I will convince Fourth Uncle and the others."
Wu Xi smiled and said, "Fifth brother, you are so kind.
Wuzhu also looked at Wuyu gratefully.
Wu Ruo: "..."
These two ignorant idiots.
Seeing that Wu Ruo had been staring at him, Wu Yu hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Fourth brother, Xiaoxi, you two wear beautiful waistbands, should they be magic weapons?"
Wu Xi nodded excitedly: "It's a magic weapon given to us by my second brother, I like it very much."
Wu Ruo followed her words and said, "I would also like to thank Erbo and the others, if it wasn't for Erbo and the others who lent us the materials, we wouldn't be able to make such a beautiful magic weapon.
Wuyu: "..."
Why does he feel that the fat man today is different from usual, there is always some incomprehensible meaning in his words, could it be that he is thinking too much
Wuzhu saw that the people in the ancestral hall were almost gone, and said, "We should go back too."
Wu Xi wanted to leave here a long time ago, so he agreed quickly.
Wu Yu smiled and said: "You go first, I will wait for my brother and them to leave together."
"Well, we're going to send Xiao Ruo back, so we won't wait for you."
Wu Yu watched them leave.
"Xiaoyu, why did you ask Wuzhu to participate in this mission?" Wu Anyi, who had been hiding behind the hall door to eavesdrop, walked out of the hall with a displeased face. Behind him were Wu Bai, Wu Shi, and Wu Qian. Tong's eldest son, Wu Xiao.
Wu Shi said angrily: "Fifth brother, what you do is simply letting Shu Qingyuan earn 40,000 taels of silver for nothing.
Wu Yu sneered: "Do you only see 40,000 taels of silver in your eyes? If I say that 40,000 taels of silver can buy Wuzhu's life, do you think it's worth it?"
Wu Anyi's expression froze: "Xiaoyu, what do you mean..."
"No one can guarantee what will happen during the capture of the big monster."
Wu Shi immediately understood what he meant, and laughed: "Yes, it's not uncommon for someone to die at the hands of a big monster. When the time comes, we only need to..."
"Xiao Shi, just be clear in your heart." Wu Yu stopped him from speaking.
Wu Xiao stared angrily at the gate of the ancestral hall: "If this is the case, the loss of 40,000 taels of silver is worth it. Let's see if they dare to be complacent, and if they dare to show off around with magic tools made of our materials. .”
Originally, his father had promised that when he got married, he would give him Xiaoyunsha as a top-grade magic weapon, but he didn't want to be angry when his third uncle borrowed it to think about it. The magic weapon is wandering around, damn it.
Wu Bo stared at them with wide eyes: "You... don't you want to..."
God.
His brothers actually wanted another brother's life.
Putting her index finger between her lips, Wuyu hissed: "Xiaobai, maybe you can tell about this matter."
Uber: "..."
