Chapter 193 The World is Unfair
Scarface's confidant is called Chen Wu. No one in this mountain village knows the relationship between the two.
Every time Chen Wu came, he avoided other people.
This time was the same. He quietly avoided everyone, took the letter, and quietly slipped out of the village, disappearing into the mountains at night.
Half an hour later, Chen Wu, with his face covered, appeared in a village about 20 miles away from the village and knocked on the door of a house.
"Who is it?" An impatient male voice sounded in the room.
"Urgent, open the door quickly. It's Lion Hill," the man outside the door answered in a calm voice.
The door opened quickly and Chen Wu flashed into the farmyard.
He took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to the man in black who had just gotten up in the yard: "Shizishan, send it to your master as quickly as possible."
The people in the yard did not dare to delay, took the letter, put it away carefully, and led a horse out from the backyard. The two men went out of the yard, locked the door, and went their separate ways.
Chen Wu followed the same path he had come from, making many turns in the dim moonlight, and finally returned to the stronghold when the patrolling bandits changed shifts.
After coming back, he took advantage of the terrain and immediately went to Scarface's yard.
The scarred man in the room had not slept yet. He was sitting at the table with a frown on his face. There was a book in front of him, but his mind was not on the book.
His hands slid unconsciously across the table, revealing a hint of his annoyance at the moment.
At this time, Chen Wu's low voice came from outside the window: "Brother, it's settled."
Scarface finally came to his senses, pushed open the window, and whispered, "Come in!"
Chen Wu pushed the door open and saw Scarface's appearance. He knew that Scarface was upset again. So he went to the low table next to him and poured Scarface a glass of water. He put it in front of Scarface and said, "Brother, don't be upset. We have done everything we can according to that person's request. He should be kind to Sister-in-law and the others!"
Scarface sighed deeply, picked up the water that Chen Qi poured for him, and drank it in one gulp. He put the empty cup on the table and shook his head: "How could you not know what that person is thinking? He is so cruel and ruthless, and it is hard for us to guess. If he was kind, why would I be forced here?"
At this point, Scarface paused and said, "My dear wife, do you remember the place where I met you, the big rock behind?"
Chen Wu was a little confused: "Remember, brother, what are you talking about?"
Scarface looked at Chen Wu, "Now that the truth has been revealed, that person will not let us off easily. I'm fine, but your sister-in-law and nephew are suffering. Over the years, I have done bad things against my conscience. I deserve what I have done. But the others did not deserve it! Chen Wu, find a chance to go down the mountain! Others do not know our relationship. If you leave, not many people will pursue you. Go back and find a small place to live a good life!"
After saying that, he took out two hundred taels of silver and put it in Chen Wu's hand. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Let's go now. The imperial court has arrived. Duke Fu is not a fool like Wu Cheng. They will find this place soon. It will be inconvenient to get away if we delay any longer. If you meet an honest official one day, take him to see the big rock!"
"Brother, I..."
Chen Wu wanted to say something, but Scarface stopped him from speaking. He shouted at the door: "Come here, this kid doesn't know what's good for him and doesn't know the rules. Give him ten strokes of the cane and send him off the mountain."
The sound alarmed the bandits outside the courtyard gate, and several of them came in quickly and asked Scarface in a flattering manner: "Brother, what's wrong with this kid?"
"Drag this ignorant person away, give him ten beatings with boards and send him down the mountain." Scarface said angrily in front of everyone.
"Brother," Chen Wu wanted to say something, but the bandits pounced on him, held his hands, covered his mouth, and dragged him outside.
Soon, a bandit was heard grinning and saying, "Chen Wu, you have come to this day, haha."
"Ah..." The sound of the stick hitting the flesh, accompanied by Chen Qi's scream, was followed by a crackling sound, and the ten boards were quickly beaten.
Chen Wu knew that there was no change, and he didn't want to disappoint Scarface's feelings. He struggled to get up and kowtowed to Scarface's door: "Brother, take care, I'm leaving."
The people in the room did not come out, but a voice came out: "Go away, get away."
Chen Wu was in tears. He struggled to stand up, bowed again, and staggered down the mountain.
Although he knew that Scarface was trying to protect him, Chen Wu still felt sad. He was originally a homeless child. He was almost beaten to death once. It was Scarface who passed by and saved him.
If it wasn't for the man in the capital who was impressed by Scarface's martial arts and took his sister-in-law and nephew hostage, how could Scarface do such a thing?
Even if he and Wu Cheng became sworn brothers, it was that person who asked him to do so. Now that something happened, the person who was implicated was not him from the capital.
The world is so unfair, with the powerful and wealthy in power. How many ordinary people have room to resist?
But Chen Wu felt reluctant to leave Scarface like this, so after thinking about it, he simply settled down in an inconspicuous little village in Weibei.
Prepare to see what happens next and see which direction it will develop in. Then decide what to do?
