Li Mu rode a horse and stood at the entrance of the pig driving alley, thinking in his heart.
He is a counterfeit, not Li Mu on this planet. The reason why he came to meet Li Mu's biological mother is to give an explanation to the Li Mu who was replaced. Whether he is dead or alive, judging from his life, he is still a fake. He can be regarded as a talented and filial son. Secondly, because what happened to Li's mother is really sad and pitiful. An old man who has been let down by fate should enjoy happiness in his later years.
Li Mu on earth has never enjoyed the love of his parents, so it can be said that this is the inverse scale in his heart.
However, no matter how similar they are in appearance, they are not the same person after all. It would be very embarrassing if Mother Li recognized them on the spot.
Li Mu was not afraid of having his identity revealed.
His current strength is so great that he can conquer the world. Even if he does not become the magistrate of Taibai County, he can still be proud of the mountains and rivers.
What he was worried about was that once Mother Li recognized that he was an impostor and asked about the whereabouts of her real son, how would she answer? If she were to tell the truth, knowing that the real Li Mu had fallen off a cliff and died would not have cut off her last hope. She would be so sad and desperate. Instead, it would have violated her original intention of coming to pick up Li Mu.
Pig Alley is a small alley in the slums. The ground is muddy and the walls are low. There is a faint smell in the air. It is the strange smell of urine and feces mixed in the mud. It is smelly. It makes me sick.
Mother Li had smelled this smell before in the slaughterhouse in the Earth's Randen Temple Village.
There were not many people in the alley, but there were stray dogs. Compared with the noisy and lively night scene on the main street outside, it seemed like a forgotten place, a completely different world.
Occasionally, human figures appear and appear, either with a numb complexion or as skinny as a stick, or a ferocious person with a ferocious look, walking in a hurry, which further highlights the complex and dangerous living environment in this alley.
People walking in and out of the alley looked at Li Mu and Li Mu with curious eyes.
Not to mention the handsome green-maned horse on the crotch, just judging from the appearance of their clothes, Li Mu should not belong to the Pig Alley. They are people from another world. Why did they come here?
"Young Master?" Zheng Cunjian said softly from the side: "Old Madam, you are really inside. I definitely remember correctly..."
Li Mu waved his hand.
"go in."
He dismounted, led the horse, and walked step by step on the muddy road toward the dim pig alley.
On both sides of the alley, in addition to low earthen walls, there are scattered wooden doors. Some courtyards are completely silent, and some courtyards have hidden lights. Occasionally, the sound of children's laughter can be heard, and some are hung with red lights. At the door of Lantern's small courtyard, women of different ages stood in scantily clad clothes, posing and posing. When they saw Li Mu and the others coming in, they stayed away from each other. They were not big shots in the slum world. Although they had property on them, they I don't dare to really come up to solicit customers.
The pig driving alley is not deep, about 100 meters.
Mother Li's small courtyard is at the deepest part of the alley.
"Old pig woman, no matter what you say today, I will take this bitch back. If you dare to stop me, I will even break your legs." A domineering and arrogant voice came from Mother Li's small courtyard in front.
Then, there were the women's cries and begging for mercy, and the men's grins.
Li Mu's eyes narrowed.
There was a carriage parked at the door of the small courtyard. Two sturdy men who looked like coachmen were holding the horses and standing at the door. They looked at the passers-by fiercely. There were long knives hanging on their waists, and they looked like two men. Like a door god.
what happened?
Li Mu looked at Zheng Cunjian.
The latter looked confused and confused.
Li Mu walked straight towards the door.
The two big men were immediately alert, staring at Li Mu with clear warning in their eyes.
"For what?"
One of the big men pressed his hand on the handle of the knife and stared at Li Mu.
"Oh, let's go home and take a look." Li Mu tied the green-maned horse to a dead tree stump at the door and answered casually.
Then, he ignored the two men and reached out to push the door open.
"stop."
"Don't go in."
The two men were furious at the same time and reached out to grab Li Mu's shoulders.
If it were anyone else, they would have drawn their swords and chopped them off. Seeing that Li Mu and Zheng Cunjian were well-dressed and should be people of some status, they were still polite - obviously, these two strong men His status was not high, so they didn't know Zheng Cunjian at all. They didn't know that this [black-hearted scholar] could make the entire Chang'an mansion tremble by stomping his feet.
However, when the two men reached out and grabbed it, they found nothing.
Li Mu did not move hastily and slowly, he had already pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
"stop……"
"Are you looking for death?"
The two men were shocked and hurriedly chased after him.
Zheng Cunjian shook his head. He had already vaguely guessed something. It was obvious that someone was going to be unlucky tonight, and it was going to be bad luck. He knew Li Mu's temper. Once he got angry, he could poke a hole in the sky.
However, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with him.
So he unhurriedly tied the horse to the door, took off some of the clothes and food he had just bought temporarily, carried it in his hands, and then entered the small courtyard. The two men chased him in, so No one stopped him at all.
…
Li Mu walked into the yard and saw such a picture.
A middle-aged woman wearing a tattered burlap skirt, holding a bare broom in her hand, protected another woman who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old behind her, like a hen protecting its chicks. The expression on his face was angry and frightened.
This middle-aged woman's eyes were dull and unfocused. She was obviously blind. Even her eyes that had lost their sparkle and her shabby and rough clothes did not hinder her beauty. She was like a flower falling in the dust. Just like the flowers in the book, although she has been destroyed by time, tortured by life, and faced hardships, she still has a noble and beautiful temperament in her body.
Li Mu knew without even guessing that this middle-aged woman was Li's mother.
To be honest, the image of Mother Li was very different from the image of a middle-aged and elderly woman with gray hair and a stooped body in his imagination, but after thinking about it, this was normal.
After all, when she was young, Mother Li was an outstanding aristocratic flower in the empire and was pursued by countless people.
The woman behind Li's mother is about eighteen or nineteen years old, and her appearance is still a little childish. Although her appearance cannot be said to be very beautiful, she can be regarded as upright and well-behaved. Her skin is excellent, full of tear stains and frightened, as if she was frightened by a thunderstorm. There was a clear, red and swollen slap mark on his face. The clothes he was wearing were better, but half of them were torn off, revealing his fair arms and shoulders. He covered his hands with his hands to protect his breasts...
However, the girl's exposed white body was densely covered with various whip marks and bruises.
Some information immediately popped up in Li Mu's mind.
Zheng Cunjian said that there were several loyal maids around Mother Li, but they were all broken up and sold. The last loyal maid was also forcibly sold to marry by the scumbag prefect's people. She was a concubine in a family, but now Mrs. Li probably has no maids to serve her.
The scene in front of me, well...
It should be the concubine who was forcibly sold into marriage, escaped, and then was chased to the door?
Based on what she heard outside the door before, Mother Li made this judgment.
Opposite Mother Li's two daughters, a middle-aged short fat man covered in silk and satin was cursing with his hands on his hips. Beside him, there were four evil slaves standing, all with long knives hanging from their waists and holding swords in their hands. Horsewhip, with a ferocious look on his face, and a grin on his face, as if he was just watching the fun.
"Hey, old pig dog, uncle, I think you have served the prefect before, so I don't care about you. You are so ignorant that you dare to collude with this cheap maid to steal my family's property, and you dare to protect this cheap maid. It's really Do you think I dare not hit you, uncle?"
At the corner of the fat man's mouth, there was a mole with a tuft of black hair. When he cursed, he was ferocious and cruel.
He cursed a few words and suddenly turned his head and saw Li Mu walking in step by step.
"Who are you?" he was surprised.
Li Mu said: "I am the master of this place...who are you?"
While he was talking, the two men outside the door chased him in.
The fat man reacted, his expression became fierce, and he said: "Where did you come from, idiot, dare to show off in front of me, Mr. Zheng... I want you to guard the door, how can you give up this little bald donkey who is asking for wildfire?" Let him in?" He also regarded Li Mu as a monk.
The two men chasing after him were named Wangcai and Laifu.
"Master, he forced his way in..."
"This kid is very slippery, sir, be careful."
Two people said.
"Pull him out, pull him out... break his legs." The fat man who called himself Mr. Zheng jumped on his feet and shouted. It was obvious that a good thing was interrupted, which made him very angry.
The two men immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.
Without looking back, Li Mu slapped his backhand, and a burst of energy surged out. The two sturdy men flew out like two kites with broken strings, and fell outside the courtyard wall, lifeless.
Then, he said, "My surname is also Zheng."
Zheng Cunjian, who had just come in from the door, trembled when he heard this sentence, and immediately explained: "Young Master, I don't know him, and he is not the same Zheng as me."
At this time, Mother Li and the maid opposite were also a little surprised and confused.
Li's mother was blind and couldn't see. She couldn't see Li Mu's face clearly, and she didn't know what was happening for a while.
The girl, who was as panicked as a little duck in a thunderstorm, quickly pulled up her tattered clothes, covered them with her hands, and looked at Li Mu's body, a little confused, but at this time, she saw Li Mu take action. Seeing the scene at that time, she could only place her last hope on this stranger, and she mustered up the courage to say quickly: "Sir, help us..."
