Li Banfeng knocked on the door and a man opened it. He was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, not tall but fairly strong. He was wearing a waistcoat and a pair of trousers, and his whole outfit was covered with patches.
With dark cheeks, thick eyebrows and thick lips, his whole appearance exudes simplicity and honesty.
Xiaopang once told Li Banfeng that in Yaowanggou, once you get out of Ligou, restaurants will become very scarce. If you are hungry on the road and want to find a place to eat, you can go to someone else's house and ask for food. Just give them three or five yuan as meal money, and most people will not refuse.
Li Banfeng explained his purpose and the man warmly welcomed Li Banfeng into his home.
The man was dressed simply, but the yard was not small. Just look at the size of the front yard, it was almost as big as a basketball court.
There are three tiled houses and a warehouse in the yard. The houses are a bit old, but very clean.
The reason why this is the front yard is that judging from the walls and layout of the house, there should also be a large backyard.
As a home repairman, Li Banfeng was a little envious when he saw a spacious and tidy house.
"There's some rice left at home, but not many vegetables. You'll have to make do with what you have." The man lit an oil lamp in the yard, and a woman brought up a bowl of rice and a small plate of pickled cucumbers.
The woman was wearing a slanting-collared cloth shirt that was covered in patches. Judging from her age, she should be the man's wife. Li Banfeng didn't look at her for long, and he shouldn't have.
After setting the table, the woman hurried back to the house.
Li Banfeng took out thirty yuan and stuffed it into the man's hand. The man waved his hands and said, "I don't need so much."
Li Banfeng waved his hand: "Take it. I feel bad for disturbing you so late at night."
The rice was very coarse and contained a lot of rice husks, but Li Banfeng didn't care. He was really hungry and ate the rice with pickled cucumbers.
The man held the banknotes in his hand, looking very guilty, as if he owed Li Banfeng something.
He quietly returned to the house, and soon an old lady with gray hair walked out of the house.
The old lady came to Li Banfeng with a wine jar in her hand and said with a smile: "Young man, try our homemade sorghum wine."
Li Banfeng shook his head: "Old man, I don't drink."
It’s not that he’s being polite, but Li Banfeng really can’t get used to the wine here.
For such a poor family, a jar of wine is very precious. The old lady was shocked. Since Li Banfeng didn't like it, he shouldn't waste other people's good things.
But the old lady still insisted on pouring a bowl for Li Banfeng: "Young man, drink a bowl. It's not a good wine, but don't despise it. My son took your money, and I feel really bad."
The old lady poured the wine herself, so Li Banfeng couldn't refuse and picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.
You know what, this wine is very mellow and tastes better than the one in the bun shop.
After finishing the bowl of rice, the pickled cucumbers and the wine bowl, Li Banfeng burped.
The old lady smiled and said, "Young man, have you found a place to stay? If not, stay at my house."
"I have a place to stay. I will leave now. Thank you for your hospitality."
After dinner, we left quickly. Li Banfeng was being hunted by Jiang Xiangbang, and we couldn’t let this honest man get implicated.
As soon as he stood up, Li Banfeng suddenly felt dizzy, and the figures of mother and son floated up and down in front of his eyes.
Are you drunk?
wrong!
This is poisoning!
The old lady looked at Li Banfeng with a smile and said, "Young man, stop running around. I think you should stay here."
What's going on?
Li Banfeng turned around and ran out the door, and suddenly saw the man's wife blocking the door.
The woman raised her head and punched Li Banfeng on the chin.
Li Banfeng wanted to dodge, but his body was out of control and he was unable to avoid the punch and was hit hard.
This woman is so strong!
Li Banfeng took two steps back and fell to the ground.
He looked closely at the woman's face.
Under the candlelight, he could see clearly this time that the man had a circle of dark stubble around his lips.
This is a man.
This is a shady shop!
Impossible, I didn't sense any danger just now!
Li Banfeng held his forehead, rubbed his eyes, wiped the blood from his mouth and nose with his hands, collapsed to the ground, and slowly closed his eyes.
His eyes were closed, but he did not faint. He was still conscious and could hear the conversations of the people around him clearly.
The elder son, who looked honest, looked at the old lady and said, "Mom, is it necessary to waste a jar of my good wine to deal with such a white lamb? The plate of pickled cucumbers is enough."
It turns out that pickled cucumbers are also poisonous!
Li Banfeng was annoyed. He had survived the Kuwu Mountain, but he capsized in this gutter!
It's strange. I can sense malice. When I was at the station, I could sense Chu Yunlong's malice. Why can't I sense the malice of this family at all when I was eating?
Could it be that the cultivation level of this family is incredibly high?
With such high level of cultivation, why do you use such despicable means?
The old lady laughed and said, "Silly boy, look carefully, this is not a white lamb. The way he walks is strange. This is a travel cultivator, and a travel cultivator of a higher level."
"Lv Xiu?" The eldest son scratched his head, "I've never seen this before."
The old lady said, "I have never seen him before. I will learn a lot today. Lu Xiu has fast steps and he has the ability to generate wind out of thin air. This proves that he has reached a higher level.
It was just that he had just reached the next level and had not yet learned how to control himself. If he had not been poisoned by the wine, he would have disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, Lu Xiu knew the danger. If I hadn’t intervened, he would have woken up when he entered the door.”
Xingzanr is a slang term meaning that the cheated person has come to his senses.
It turned out that the old lady had taken action in advance, so I was unable to sense their malicious intentions.
What level of cultivator is this old lady?
What level of ability did she use?
The eldest son was a little proud when he heard this: "Mom, my wine is getting better and better!"
The old lady snorted, "You reached a higher level two years ago. It's been a year and a half. If you can't even defeat someone with equal cultivation, how can you still have the face to eat this bowl of rice?"
From the old lady's words, Li Banfeng heard that the man was a poison cultivator, and his cultivation level was the same as his, both at the same level.
Li Banfeng wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were too heavy and he couldn't open them after trying several times.
The second son, who was disguised as a woman, said, "Mother, since he is not a white lamb, we might as well take advantage of him and pick the gourd directly."
The second son had never seen Lu Xiu, but he thought it would be better to kill the one with cultivation ability.
Upon hearing this, Li Banfeng's heart tightened.
In his current state, he has few means of resistance.
But even if I don’t have many options, I have to fight. I can’t just die here!
The old lady poked Li Banfeng with her walking stick, and seeing that he had no reaction, she told her two sons: "Pick up all the things on him, lock his hands and feet, and send him to the rice shed. Wait until midnight before taking action."
The second son didn't understand: "Mom, why do we have to wait until midnight?"
Yes, why must we wait until midnight? Li Banfeng did not quite understand, he was ready for a desperate fight.
Are they trying to take advantage of my laxity?
She is overthinking it. There is no way I can let my guard down.
"I told you to wait until midnight, so just wait obediently. Clean him up first!" The old lady scolded, and her two sons came forward and searched Li Banfeng and took away his sickle, shovel, and wallet. Even the spicy strips that Li Banfeng had hidden in the lining of his clothes were taken away.
But there was only one thing he didn't take away.
When Li Banfeng was wiping his mouth and nose just now, he hid the key in his mouth.
He had wanted to open the door and escape immediately, but under the watchful eyes of the three people, Li Banfeng was not sure whether he could hide the key or even turn it smoothly.
The old lady really doesn't want to kill Li Banfeng now.
What was the purpose of her waiting until midnight?
Why can't I sense the danger here until now?
