Chapter 5 Who Do You Think You Are?
The next morning, as time passed, the news of a great opportunity in the Kujing Mountains spread more and more clearly. More and more warriors gathered in Yilong Town, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
Li Wudao woke up from a sweet dream, changed the medicine on his chest, and then carried a bamboo basket on his back to prepare to open his stall to do business.
"Dao...Brother Dao!" Qi Meng pushed open the door coquettishly, and a beam of sunlight passed through the dilapidated stone houses and bloomed on her bright face.
Li Wudao was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Did that little girl take the wrong medicine? She's so sweet today!"
Normally this girl was disrespectful and always called Li Wudao a dried nut. Suddenly she changed her personality, which made Li Wudao a little uncomfortable.
"Get out! Bang!..." Qi Meng's pretty face turned dark when she heard that, and she spat at Li Wudao, leaving only the crisp sound of the door closing.
Li Wudao chuckled, thinking that this was Qi Meng's original character. He didn't care about anything else and walked straight towards the auxiliary street.
"Hot sesame cakes!"
"Don't miss it if you're passing by! The best rouge and powder just arrived!"
"Tanghulu, sweet and sour Tanghulu..."
As we walked towards the side streets, the hawking grew louder and louder, and the crowds grew larger and larger. From time to time, we could even see warriors wielding guns and clubs, each of them exuding a cold, unapproachable aura.
Li Wudao was still dressed in a green robe, carrying a bamboo basket on his back. His body was thin but unusually upright. But unlike before, Li Wudao was no longer timid, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
The two rows on the left and right sides of the auxiliary street are filled with stalls of various sizes. One of them is covered with a thatched mat to prevent it from being occupied by others by mistake. It belongs to Li Wudao.
He took away the thatched mat that divided the stall, rolled it aside and used it as a seat, and placed the herbs in the bamboo basket on the stall. Li Wudao was ready to open the stall.
"Young man, are you selling medicine? Is there only one bitter herb?" A passerby on the street asked in confusion, because Li Wudao only had one bitter herb on display when he opened a stall!
Li Wudao raised his head slightly. He saw an elderly beggar, his tattered clothes emitting a faint odor. For some reason, Li Wudao felt that he was somewhat familiar, and he might be a very important person.
"I wonder what you would like to buy, senior?" Everyone who comes is a guest, and there is a strange feeling in his heart, so Li Wudao said politely.
"You don't have what I want to buy here." The old beggar shook his head and turned away mysteriously.
Li Wudao was puzzled. "You didn't even ask, so how do you know I don't have anything to sell? What a weirdo!"
At this moment, several ragged men surrounded them. Their eyes were wandering and they were cursing. They were undoubtedly hooligans.
Li Wudao recognized them as the rogues who had threatened him before. Li Wudao only displayed the bitter grass to lure them into the trap and prevent future trouble.
"Hmph! You're such a loser! You actually managed to find the Kuyi grass!" The leading scoundrel, wearing green clothes that exposed his belly and chest, snorted coldly and looked Li Wudao up and down.
“…”
"Thank you very much for the Kuyi grass! But our boss said he wants another 100 taels of silver!" Before Li Wudao could speak, the rogue reached out for the Kuyi grass and said bluntly.
A cold light flashed in Li Wudao's eyes. He had known for a long time that these ruffians were greedy, but he didn't expect them to be so shameless!
Reaching out and grabbing the Kuyi grass before him, Li Wudao looked directly at the rogue and said in a confrontational tone, "What if I don't?"
The scoundrel glared, clearly not expecting the usually tolerant loser to suddenly become so tough under the pressure of life. In front of the pedestrians on the auxiliary street, he felt ashamed and flew into a rage.
"How dare you! Who do you think you are? How dare you go against big brother's wishes!" Before the scoundrel could even open his mouth, a younger brother immediately spoke up to support the big brother and show his loyalty.
Seeing Li Wudao being scolded by his younger brother, the scoundrel nodded complacently, and was quite satisfied with his younger brother's behavior.
Under the blazing sun, people streamed down the side streets. When they saw someone arguing, they stopped and watched.
"Little Li is in trouble because of these scoundrels!"
"Ah! I can endure it for a while and keep the peace, but what's the point of doing this?"
Many passersby were discussing the matter, and among them, some knew Li Wudao, and they all felt sorry for him. There would be no good consequences if he got involved with this group of scoundrels.
Hearing the discussions of passers-by, the scoundrel became even more proud. He stared at Li Wudao with squinted eyes, waiting to see him get extremely scared and kneel down to beg for mercy.
It’s a pity that he is destined to be disappointed!
Li Wudao was standing with his hands behind his back, staring at them coldly, without a trace of panic in his eyes.
Another bottle of venom was prepared in the morning, which gave Li Wudao full confidence and he was not afraid of them at all. He was just worried that the venom was too powerful and would hurt innocent passers-by, so he allowed them to do whatever they wanted.
"Little brother, I heard that you can make bitter ointment, why not sell it to me!" When Li Wudao was confronting the thugs, a cold and arrogant male voice floated over, attracting attention.
Li Wudao looked around and was shocked. This person was actually the warrior who ridiculed him on the upper floor of Huafeng Tower!
Seeing Li Wudao's gaze, the warrior's eyes were a little evasive, as if he was unwilling to look Ge Ren in the eye out of shame.
But in the eyes of the scoundrels, it was a little different. This young man actually dared to bypass them and buy the bitter grass from Li Wudao. You have to know that the bitter grass has long been considered a sure thing by them. This is a naked provocation!
"The Butian Gang is doing business, all outsiders please leave immediately!" The rogue looked at the warrior, only to see that the warrior was dressed in naked clothes, had a beard and looked unremarkable, so he could not help but say coldly.
The warrior frowned upon hearing this, and after giving Li Wudao an apologetic look, he didn't even look at the rogue and directly scolded him, "Who do you think you are? Get out of here!"
This sentence carried a mysterious aura, which was a kind of mysterious martial art, just like a king scolding his subjects or a general holding his soldiers accountable. The ruffians were instantly shouted back three steps, with traces of blood at the corners of their mouths.
"Martial...Master Warrior!"
"Holy crap! Xiao Li actually has a warrior backing him up!"
The warrior's opening words instantly caused quite a stir. The crowd, originally looking forward to the show, became even more crowded.
Those who once thought that Li Wudao was going to suffer a loss looked at him in shock. They didn't expect that Ge Ren actually had such a backer.
"You...you...!" The rogue was a little helpless. He really couldn't imagine that Li Wudao was hiding so deeply and even had a warrior as his backer.
A strong feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart. If he had known that Li Wudao had the support of warriors, he would never have dared to act presumptuously in front of Li Wudao even if he was beaten to death!
Initially, they were arrogant and questioned Li Wudao about who he was. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, before Li Wudao even made a move, he was scolded by the warrior.
Most importantly, they dare not refute!
"Get out of here!" The warrior swept his tiger eyes across with great momentum, making people afraid.
A few ruffians ran away in an instant, fearing that they would lose their lives if they ran too slowly.
Li Wudao watched them leave and thought to himself that this was the power of a warrior. Just one sentence was enough to make the ruffians run for their lives!
"Do you need Kuyi ointment?" Li Wudao said, looking at the warrior who turned around and looked a little embarrassed.
