Chapter Thirty-Eight Difficult Choices
Watching the incense stick burning shorter and shorter, Li Bu became more and more nervous. Finally, when Li Wuxiong stood up.
Li Bu clenched his fists and said, "Okay! I..."
Just when Li Bu was about to make a decision, break free from the rope, turn around and run first, Li Wenzhu's voice appeared.
"Let go of my brother. If anything happens, come to me."
Before seeing him, he heard his voice first, and not long after, Li Wenzhu walked up the steps into the hall.
Seeing the visitor, Li Wuxiong frowned at first, and then became happier because he had a better idea.
Li Wenzhu came to the hall and stood next to Li Bu. At this time, he looked at Li Wuxiong sitting in the seat in front and said.
"My friend came from Hanxiayouwu. Master, as you know, the teenagers there generally don't have much tutoring, so they don't understand the rules here."
"I hope the master can forgive my friend, but if that doesn't work, let me take the blame on his behalf!"
"As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. It's all my fault. I didn't tell my friends the basic rules. Please let me kneel down and beg for your forgiveness on his behalf!"
Li Wuxiong was always smiling, and he didn't know what he wanted to do. Anyway, the smile looked weird.
I saw Li Wuxiong looking at Li Wenzhu in front of him, and found that Li Wenzhu's eyes were squinting downward.
Li Bu also noticed this and changed his name from father to master. Li Wenzhu must have felt very uncomfortable! This was Li Bu's inner thought at this time.
After looking Li Wenzhu up and down, Li Wuxiong asked: "How do you know that I asked Li Bu to kneel down and beg for mercy?"
Li Wenzhu replied: "I met the fat and thin guard on the road."
Li Wuxiong nodded to show that he understood immediately, and then asked: "Do you know what your friends have done?"
Li Wenzhu shook his head, while Li Wuxiong squinted his eyes and said angrily: "This friend of yours broke into Li's mansion without permission."
Li Wenzhu answered: "It's my fault, I didn't warn him."
Li Wuxiong continued: "Your friend also insulted me."
Li Wenzhu frowned, stared, with cold sweat on his face, then quickly knelt on the ground and said: "It's my fault, sir, please forgive me, I will take my friend out of here right now."
Li Wuxiong listened to what Li Wenzhu said, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, then walked up to Li Wenzhu and said, "Are you sure you want to atone for your friend's sin?"
Li Wenzhu said: "Yes, my friend just didn't understand the rules and offended you. I will apologize to you for him. I..."
Li Wuxiong stretched out his hand to stop Li Wenzhu from continuing to speak, and he said calmly: "Okay, okay, since you have decided to take the blame for your friend, you must pay the price, and listen to me first.
.”
"What's the mistake your friend made! I can blame it on you, but I want to take back the money I paid for your mother's medicine."
"This kid has disgraced me, so since you want to take the blame, I will no longer refill your mother's medicine."
"This is equivalent to using your mother's medicine money to atone for his sins. It is also an explanation to me. Who doesn't feel bad about spending money? You think so?"
"So, I will definitely not pay for the medicine and endure the insult of a yellow-haired child. You can only choose one of the two."
"But since you have knelt down to beg me, that means that the money for your mother's medicine has already redeemed him, and I will not pay for the medicine in the future."
"Okay, take your friends and leave!"
After saying that, Li Wuxiong walked to the table with his back to Li Wenzhu, as if he had made a big decision, his behavior was disgusting.
Li Bu rolled his eyes at Li Wuxiong and said that he really knows how to make people feel excited. One word can make people excited, and another word can push people into the abyss.
What a wily old fox.
But Li Wenzhu didn't think so. Listening to Li Wuxiong's words, Li Wenzhu became extremely anxious. It was obvious that he was hung up by Li Wuxiong.
As a chess piece, Li Wenzhu didn't notice it. When he saw him, he hurriedly ran to Li Wuxiong, only to be mercilessly kicked down by Gu Huiyin.
Li Wenzhu said with a sad face: "Don't, don't be like this, please, Master, in order to borrow money from you to buy medicine, I have handed over all the money-making routes to your hands. My mother cannot live without medicine!"
"Master, master, my mother can't live without medicine!" Li Wenzhu said almost crying.
At this moment, Li Bu finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Li Wuxiong, are you still a human being? Are people like you really heartless?"
Li Wuxiong shrugged his shoulders and signaled to Li Wenzhu, look at your friend, and started to insult me again.
Li Wenzhu gasped for breath, looked back at Li Bu, and then shouted: "Get out of here quickly, stay where you can to cool down, and don't make trouble for me anymore."
Realizing that he had been misunderstood, Li Bu frowned and shouted back: "Wake up! Li Wenzhu, this guy has medicine that can directly cure your mother, he is just hanging on you and using you!"
Li Wenzhu didn't listen to Li Bu's words at all. Instead, he said even more excitedly: "Hurry up and go back to where you came from. Don't cause any more trouble for me."
Li Bu let out an angry breath. This feeling of not being understood was really unpleasant. He stared at the front, Li Wenzhu, who had lost his former appearance, and felt a burst of sadness.
"Master, Master, I beg you not to stop taking my mother's medicine. The medicine is very expensive and only you can afford it in the city. If you stop, what do you want me to do?"
Li Wenzhu stood up again and came behind Li Wuxiong, then knelt on the ground, hugged his legs and begged.
Although Li Wenzhu was in pain at this time, Li Wuxiong seemed to enjoy this feeling.
Li Bu looked at Li Wuxiong's expression and his expression of enjoyment, and saw that he had no intention of saying anything at all, but instead kicked Li Wenzhu away again.
Even Li Bu couldn't bear to watch the next scene. He had no choice but to speak.
"I don't need you to atone for my sins, Li Wuxiong, and Li Wenzhu's begging for mercy just now is useless. I will never beg for mercy from someone like you."
Li Wuxiong narrowed his eyes, while Li Wenzhu shouted: "Why don't you leave? Do you still want to meddle in other people's business? Stop making trouble here and get out!"
Li Wuxiong smiled: "Oh? Really? Have you forgotten the agreement we just made?"
Li Bu remembered Li Wuxiong's words before, and suddenly said angrily: "You..."
Li Wuxiong was gloating about his misfortune, while Li Wenzhu turned around and complained: "Are you stupid? I've already forgiven you, and it's over as soon as you leave. How can you talk so much?"
Li Bu took a deep breath and said: "Li Wenzhu, I came here this time to find something important for you. I will not leave, and I will not let you use your mother's medicine to atone for my sins. If that's the case,
, I can’t live with my conscience.”
When he said the word "conscience", Li Bu deliberately raised his voice. Li Wuxiong squinted his eyes, and he naturally knew what Li Bu meant.
Li Wenzhu continued Li Bu's words and yelled: "Hurry up, hurry up, what can you do to me? Han Xia You Wu is in ruins, you and I are no longer brothers."
Li Bu snorted coldly and said: "Li Wenzhu, you are really selfless, huh? You used your mother's life in exchange for my atonement, you..."
Before Li Bu could finish speaking, Li Wenzhu interrupted: "I won't blame you, just leave! How long do you want to watch my jokes?"
Li Bu: "I..."
Li Wuxiong laughed: "Hahaha, you heard it! It was because of your appearance that Li Wenzhu's mother lost her medicine. Now you can go and take care of yourself."
Li Bu frowned. He really wanted to slap Li Wuxiong, but Gu Huiyin was by his side, so he couldn't do it.
At this moment, a little man ran out and said, "Li Wenzhu, your mother started to get sick again, but she has run out of medicine."
When Li Wenzhu heard this, he suddenly said nervously: "What? How is my mother now?"
The little dwarf said anxiously: "Hurry up and get the medicine. If you're late, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for long. I can't be out for too long, otherwise I'm afraid something will happen to your mother, so I'll go back first."
Hearing this, Li Bu and Li Wenzhu panicked at the same time, but Li Wuxiong, who knew the properties of the medicine very well, couldn't stop laughing.
"Hahaha, actually, there is another way for you to get the medicine. It depends on whether you dare to do it."
Li Wuxiong said this, and Li Wenzhu did not dare to delay: "Master, please tell me quickly, human life is at stake!"
Li Wuxiong raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure?"
Li Wenzhu nodded and looked at Li Wuxiong with a panicked expression, while Li Wuxiong laughed endlessly.
"Okay, if that's the case..." Li Wuxiong said halfway before turning to look at Gu Huiyin.
Gu Huiyin nodded, then took out a knife and threw it at Li Wenzhu's feet. Only then did Li Wuxiong say the other half of his words.
"Pick up a knife and one finger is equal to a bag of medicine."
Hearing this, Li Wenzhu frowned, and Li Bu shouted anxiously: "Li Wenzhu, don't believe him. He can obviously cure your mother directly, but he is just trying to make you laugh."
Looking at the knife at his feet, he remembered the little dwarf's words before and looked at Li Wuxiong. Li Wenzhu picked up the knife and held it in his hand.
Li Bu continued to shout anxiously: "Li Wenzhu, don't do stupid things, it will hurt you."
Li Wuxiong said at this time: "Since you are so worried about your mother, then put this worry into medicine!"
"They say a finger connects to the heart. Once the pain is over, the worries will disappear. Come on! The medicine is here, with one finger, I will throw you a bag."
Li Wuxiong took out many bags of medicine and placed them on the table. Li Wenzhu looked at the medicines, then looked at his hands, and then thought about his mother's pain at this time.
It is an extremely weird disease that requires continuous maintenance of medication. Once it is stopped, it will be extremely painful.
It feels like you fell into scalding hot water, or your body is crawling with bugs biting you. Anyway, it just means "boil."
Closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths, Li Wenzhu gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give it all..."
He spread his fingers on the ground, raised the knife and was about to drop it. The white knife would also turn red. At this moment, Li Bu saw the look Gu Huiyin gave him.
"This is...I understand!" Li Bu suddenly understood.
Just when Li Wenzhu was about to cut off his fingers with his sword, Li Bu suddenly broke away from the rope, and then came the critical big kick.
While kicking Li Wenzhu away, Li Bu picked up a stack of about five bags of medicine while Li Wuxiong wasn't paying attention, and he didn't forget to slap Li Wuxiong in the face: "Despicable!"
After doing this, Li Bu hurriedly led Li Wenzhu and ran away. At this moment, he really wanted to turn into a centipede, otherwise he would not feel that he was fast enough.
Gu Huiyin jumped forward, his eyes suddenly sharp, and then chased away. Li Wuxiong was dumbfounded. What just happened was too fast, too shocking, and his eyes were full of stars, so he didn't even react.
After running out of the hall, Gu Huiyin immediately came behind Li Bu, and speaking into his ear, Gu Huiyin said: "You kid, don't forget what you promised. We will definitely meet in the locust forest by then."
See you."
