As she spoke, she was about to kneel down and kowtow to Ding Youtian while holding the baby. Ding Youtian quickly raised his hand to stop her, "Don't do that! It was my wife who saved the man. I was just helping out and handing him something. Where is the baby's father?"
Ding Youtian was secretly worried about this, afraid that he would rescue another Sanniang, but he had no choice in the emergency. After all, human life is more important than anything else, so he could only save her first.
When he asked about her son, the woman's tears suddenly welled up again, and the baby in her arms cried like a kitten. Ding Youtian saw her situation and guessed that something might have happened at home, so he asked tentatively: "Why, is the baby's father..."
He didn't say "gone".
If he really is gone, life in this family will be extremely difficult without a man.
The woman wiped her tears and spoke, "My son is now imprisoned in the state prison. I never dared to let my daughter-in-law know about this. What a sin! The birth is still more than ten days away. I don't know where she got the news. She must have been so anxious... If it weren't for you, she and her daughter would not be alive!"
Her knees softened, and she was about to kneel down again, holding her granddaughter in her arms. "This is for kowtow!"
"Stop it, find a place and tell me what your son did and why he was thrown into jail." Ding Youtian didn't expect that he was wrong. The woman's son was still alive. He just wanted to learn about the local officialdom. It was like someone handed him a pillow when he dozed off.
"Okay, come with me to this room and talk."
Ding Youtian called Tong Bajin and ordered him to guard outside the house, telling him not to let anyone in and disturb Jian Ning. He then followed the woman to the next room.
The woman's surname was Cao. Her husband died young, leaving her with only one son, Xu Dali. Dali's mother, Cao, was a midwife who raised her son single-handedly by performing birthing duties. Because widows and orphans were vulnerable to bullying, Cao sent her son to a martial arts academy when he was five or six. Initially, she hoped his martial arts training would not only help him earn a living, but also protect him and his mother from being easily bullied.
Xu Dali was a filial son. Thinking about how difficult it was for his mother to raise him, he was willing to work hard to study and practice. Later, he found a job in a security agency in the city and became a bodyguard. He handed all the money he earned every month to his mother, Xu. After he saved some money, Cao arranged a wife for him.
Dali's wife was a virtuous and good housekeeper. After she got married, she was very filial to her mother-in-law. The family situation was getting better and better, which made Mrs. Cao smile all day long. Especially when her wife became pregnant less than half a year after she got married, she was so happy that she walked on tiptoe.
Unexpectedly, disaster struck half a month ago. Xu Dali was returning from escort duty, excitedly rushing home with gifts he had bought for his mother and wife. On his way, he ran into the second son of the Tongpan Mansion and a group of vicious slaves molesting a street singer. He didn't want to make a fuss about this, but the second son of the Tongpan Mansion was a local bully, and everyone watched with anger but dared not speak out.
Xu Dali turned around and walked a few steps. He heard the heart-wrenching wail of the woman behind him. When he looked back, he saw several evil slaves beating the woman's father with fists and kicks until he spit blood from his mouth. Then they forcibly pulled the woman away.
He robbed a girl in the street and even injured her father. Damn, he doesn't treat the people as human beings at all!
He turned back and tried to persuade them a few times, but ended up angering the Second Young Master Jiang. In Yancheng, even Prince Rui and Lord Yang had to give his father some face, and no one ever dared to meddle in his affairs. Now, seeing a stinky escort dressed in the uniform of an escort agency dare to jump out and disturb his good deeds, this guy was so angry that his nose was about to smoke, and he clamored for the servants to beat up this stinky escort and teach him a lesson.
These servants all knew some martial arts, including the Second Young Master Jiang, who had learned some martial arts from his father Jiang Xiaohe. However, their little skills were not worth mentioning in the eyes of Xu Dali, who had practiced martial arts since childhood. He was annoyed that they were bullying others, so he didn't even take off his sword and beat the group of vicious slaves with just his bare fists.
The Second Young Master Jiang was furious. He suddenly stepped forward, drew the sword from his waist, and personally wanted to teach this blind and stinky bodyguard a lesson. He was a dandy young man, and his father's men and servants usually gave in to him. This gave him an illusion that he was a martial arts genius for a long time. He was full of confidence that if he didn't take action, he would definitely beat Xu Dali to a pulp.
At first, Xu Dali restrained himself, mindful that he was, after all, the second son of the Tongpan Prefecture. But then, seeing that every blow from his sword was intended to kill him, and every strike was a killing blow, he was furious! Having practiced martial arts since childhood and having worked in the escort agency for so many years, and at a time when blood and vigor were at their peak, he no longer needed to endure. His moves were one after another, and in just a few seconds, he had the second son of the Jiang family in a panic, and easily snatched back his sword.
This time he was in a big trouble. Someone took the knife back from his hand with bare hands. Young Master Jiang was so angry that he lost his mind and rushed forward like a madman, punching him randomly without any rules. The group of servants also rushed forward again, relying on their numbers, and surrounded Xu Dali.
He was so angry that he couldn't help but not care about the strength of his blows. In that situation, Xu Dali was so angry that he didn't care about many things. After injuring several servants in the fight, he jumped high and slashed with his sword, and somehow he hit the second young master Jiang, cutting off half of his shoulder and half of his arm and falling to the ground.
Xu Dali's face was splashed with blood.
After being stunned for a moment, he threw down the knife and hurried back. He ran into his mother Cao at the door. He took out the gifts for his mother and wife from his arms and knelt down in front of his mother.
Cao woke up and hurriedly shouted at him to run away, but he refused to run. After telling his mother what had happened, he kowtowed three times to her, "dong dong dong", and then turned himself in at the yamen.
