Fortunate Wife

Episode 162  Don't Go (End)

After Tianbao left, Xiao Wu got up and walked into the house.

Li Man was packing things with Liu Nanny in the house, when she saw her come in, she winked at Liu Nanny, Liu Nanny went out the door wisely.

"Your friend is gone?" Li Man asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Xiao Wu sat down on the chair and quietly watched Li Man sitting on the bedside folding clothes.

"How about we set off home early tomorrow morning?" Li Man raised her head and asked again.

"Okay." With the two-year agreement she gave, Xiao Wu's mind is much more settled. As for the rest, she can say whatever she wants.

Li Man looked at him amusedly, the light in the room was a bit dark, but it didn't affect the boy's more handsome and bright face at all.

After all, she really earned it.

Hey, who told this kid to be as stubborn as his brothers.

"Do you have anything to pack?"

Xiao Wu shook his head, "I gave all my luggage to Tianbao."

"Oh, that's fine. Take advantage of the time now, you and I will go find the master abbot."

"Okay." Thinking of the relaxed expression that the abbot might show because of his departure, Xiao Wu was happy.

The two said goodbye to the master abbot. Before leaving, Li Man added money for sesame oil in the temple, and took the initiative to rent the land in the back mountain for Tianbao and his son to cultivate for free. However, she specifically explained that they rented the land Don't tell the father and son about the matter, and the master abbot also assured her that as long as the father and son are willing to plant the land here, this land will only be rented to them forever.

After the matter was settled, Li Man's heart sank.

Early the next morning, everyone got up early, ate something and went down the mountain.

It's just that the weather was not beautiful, and it rained heavily not long after going down the mountain.

As a last resort, a group of people hurried into a nearby dilapidated temple to shelter from the rain.

Unexpectedly, there were already a few big men in the temple sitting shirtless and talking nonsense. Li Man and the others retreated in a hurry, leaning against the corner of the eaves to avoid the rain.

"Ma'am, let's go. The rain might stop after a while." After all, Madam Liu is older and has a good eye for seeing people. Just when she entered the temple and took a sweeping look, she felt that the few people inside The big man didn't look like the villagers nearby, his eyes were fierce, he wasn't a good person.

"Well, good." Li Man also felt that waiting like this was not an option.

The coachman was in a bit of a dilemma. The rain was so heavy and fast that the people who fell could barely open their eyes. Moreover, the road ahead was very muddy and difficult to walk.

"Let's go." Seeing that the driver was hesitating, Xiao Wu took the initiative to help, "I'll sit in the front too, and the two of us will drive alternately."

"Fifth Young Master, you should sit at the back. Driving the car looks easy, but if you don't know how, it's easy to overturn, especially in this heavy rainy day. If you want to overturn or get stuck in a pit, it will be very troublesome." The coachman was an old man in his fifties. Seeing that his master insisted on leaving, he pushed down his felt hat and walked straight into the rain.

Li Man and the others also walked into the rain and got into the carriage wet.

Behind him, in the ruined temple, several men had already got up, squeezed to the dilapidated doorway, and looked at the slow-moving carriage through the rain curtain.

"That little lady is really beautiful." Someone said lightly.

The other three looked at each other in blank dismay, their eyes gleaming with evil excitement at the same time.

"Those two maids are also passable, but the old lady is a bit older."

"Isn't there a kid? That looks even more handsome than those two maids."

"Ha ha......"

Several people laughed at the same time, and then rushed into the rain in tacit understanding, one of them shouted, "I also like that little lady, and none of you are allowed to compete with me."

The rain was so heavy that Li Man and the others didn't know what was going on behind them, until four big men stopped in front of the carriage with sticks and kitchen knives.

The coachman was startled, and hastily reined in his horse's head, "Everyone, what are you going to do?"

"What don't you do? Leave the car, man, I'll save your life." One of them wiped his face and shouted.

"Ah?" The driver was surprised, "This is absolutely impossible, do you know who is in this car?"

"It's a girl." Someone replied with a smile.

"She's still a beautiful and ticklish woman." The other people immediately echoed with evil smiles.

In the car, Li Man and the others knew that they had encountered a robbery, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Nanny Liu whispered, "Madam, let's spend money to avoid disaster."

Li Man bit her lip. She didn't mind losing money, but she was afraid that losing money would inevitably lead to disaster.

"Liu Nanny, take Xiaoyue and Xiang'er and run first. They are ahead, if you can't find them, you should run to the village you passed by when you went down the mountain. If you find someone, call someone to come and save us."

"Madam, let's run together." Nanny Liu dared to run away first.

Li Man frowned, "If we were together, no one would be able to run away. Those few looked like desperadoes. Besides, we can't leave Uncle Xia here alone."

Just as everyone was struggling, there was a wailing in front, and Xia Chefu was dragged out of the car by one of the big men grabbing his clothes.

Immediately, someone walked around to the back, lifted the curtain of the car, and looked in wretchedly.

"Little lady, come down quickly, I will take you to have fun."

Xiaoyue and Xiang'er were sitting on the outside of the carriage, their faces turned pale with fright, and one of them was still grabbing Xiaoyue's clothes, trying to drag her out of the carriage.

"Stop." Xiao Wu arched his body, strode over, lifted Xiaoyue and Xiang'er behind him, and then kicked the chest of the man who wanted to climb into the carriage.

The man never expected that Xiao Wu, who looked like a girl, had a lot of strength. That kick hit his chest, and he flew out, falling heavily to the ground.

When the others saw their companions being beaten, their eyes turned red, and those with knives and sticks rushed forward.

Afraid of hurting the women in the car, Xiao Wu hurriedly jumped out of the car, and got into a ball with some big guys in the rain.

Li Man was worried about him, and wanted to get out of the car to help, but was stopped by Nanny Liu, "Ma'am, look, Fifth Young Master can't suffer."

Through the rain curtain, Li Man couldn't see the real thing, but he saw that Xiao Wu was agile, and he punched and punched very neatly and happily. Soon, those people were beaten to the ground, and they couldn't even get up.

"Fifth Young Master is amazing!" Xiaoyue and Xiang'er clapped their hands and shouted in admiration.

Li Man was also dumbfounded. Seeing Xiao Wu coming back dripping wet, she hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Wu shook his head and wiped the rainwater off his face.

"Come up quickly." Li Man hurriedly gave up her seat.

When he sat up, Mammy Liu hurriedly handed him a dry towel.

In the front, the coachman Xia had already sat down, looked back at a lot of people in the car, and hurriedly said, "Madam, let's go now, find a village to settle down first, these people may be fugitives from the imperial court, we should also report to the police It's about capturing them."

"Well, let's go." Li Man nodded, took the towel in Xiao Wu's hand, wiped his wet hair for him, and asked curiously, "Xiao Wu, you fought really hard just now. Who taught you?" ? How did it become so powerful?"

In memory, Xiao Wu has always been a timid child.

Xiao Wu was also a little embarrassed, especially when facing the adoring eyes of the women in the car, he felt ashamed.

This was the first time he had fought and defeated someone since he grew up.

At the beginning, when he met these villains robbing him, he really panicked, but when he saw them molesting his wife and pulling Xiaoyue, his anger overcame his timidity, and he rushed down to fight without hesitation.

In the end, they were really beaten to the ground.

Thinking about it, he smiled, "Thanks to Uncle Sui's strict teaching at that time. Also, when I was in the Imperial College, besides studying, I had to practice riding and archery every now and then. I'm not good at learning, but I have a little superficial knowledge."

"Just a little bit of superficial knowledge is so powerful. If Fifth Young Master learns it hard, wouldn't he be invincible in the world." Xiaoyue said in admiration.

Li Man also smiled, "Yes, it seems that self-defense skills can never be broken. Hey, if I knew you were so good, I wouldn't be afraid."

"Yeah, I was scared to death just now." Xiang'er also patted her chest, and said in fear.

Nanny Liu also boasted, "That's right, thanks to Fifth Young Master's quick-wittedness and bravery."

Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed by the praise, and didn't know where to put his eyes, and finally fell on Li Man foolishly.

In fact, all his courage came from her.

Seeing him staring at her, Li Man felt a little embarrassed, so she wanted to change the subject, "Turn around, teach us too, we've learned it well, and next time you don't need to do it yourself."

Xiaoyue and Xiang'er also wanted to join, but Madam Liu was someone who had been here, and she immediately winked at them. The two were stunned for a moment, but they understood, turned their heads away, and turned away from the master's side.

Nanny Liu also closed her eyes, and added, "I don't want to be frightened, the old man just now made me a little sleepy, ma'am, let me squint for a while."

"Slaves too." Xiaoyue and Xiang'er also immediately closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Li Man looked at her and shook her head slightly, but Xiao Wu didn't know why, she just looked at Li Man worriedly, "Your clothes are all soaked, do you want me to go down first, and you change your clothes?"

"No need. We'll find another one later, and we'll change it." Li Man grabbed his arm and prevented him from getting out of the car.

Xiao Wu looked at her little hands tightly clutching his sleeves, and smiled, "Okay, I won't go."
