Chapter 88

"It's still comfortable to take an ox cart."

The next day, outside the south gate, Li Luoyang and Li Chengzhen sat in a hired ox cart. Although the ox cart was far from the carriage that came to pick up Lin Luoshui, it was also the first move for Li Luoyang for the first time. After all, now that he had money in his hands, he would never miss the situation that he could exchange money for time.

"Hey, hey."

Li Chengzhen was also curious at the moment. He looked around in the carriage and touched things from time to time. Li Luoyang asked what he was touching several times. Li Chengzhen said, "look, go back and make one."

"That's a good idea!"

Li Luoyang nodded abruptly at the slightest thought, but Li Chengzhen reminded him that perhaps this will become a way of making money in the future. Of course, the premise is to solve some technical problems. It happens that these technical problems can be solved by Li Chengzhen.

To be an ox cart, no, to be exact, it is to develop a carriage. No matter whether the cart is pulled by cattle, horses or people, what Li Luoyang wants to develop is only a carriage. A carriage that can make people ride extremely comfortable is definitely more than 100 times more comfortable than the one in front of him.

"Luoyang, what are you talking about?"

"Well, nothing. I'll go and see if the old man has come." Li Luoyang doesn't want to tell the ideas in his mind for the time being. It's not that he doesn't believe Li Chengzhen, but because Li Chengzhen is suitable for doing things. In Li Luoyang's opinion, it's not suitable for using his brain.

"Coming!"

Before Li Luoyang got out of the carriage, the voice of Zhu Donghe had come in. I don't know if I'm afraid of being recognized by the people in the Yamen. Zhu Donghe not only wears thick cotton clothes, but also wraps the whole face with long cotton cloth, leaving only a pair of eye beads.

"Come in when you come. It's cold outside. Come in and be warm. You're welcome."

"I'm not polite. I like to blow the cold wind." Zhu Donghe glared at Li Luoyang, and then took the initiative to sit next to the handlebar style. The handlebar style in his fifties was flushed with cold. His hands were caged in his sleeves, and he trembled and glanced at Zhu Donghe. He didn't speak. He was hired. As long as the employer didn't object, there's no problem where the guests like to sit.

When all the people came, he set out on the road and wandered all the way to Lijia village in an ox cart. It was only half a day. Li Luoyang estimated that he had plenty of time. When he arrived at the door of Lijia village, he looked at the sun and just passed the middle.

"Luoyang, you're back!"

The familiar voice sounded at the entrance of the village. Li Luoyang looked at it. Isn't it Xiao Si'er.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Xiao Si'er, you are still shorter than me!" patted the "little friend" on the shoulder, and Li Luoyang laughed.

"Luoyang, can we not mention our height? We are still friends without mentioning our height." Xiao Si'er's eyes are extremely "wronged". He sweeps Li Chengchen from time to time, and finally stops on the masked Zhu Donghe, but Zhu Donghe glares at him.

"Wow, Luoyang, that's your friend. It's so fierce!"

"No, he won't bite you."

"Hum!" Zhu Donghe stamped his feet discontentedly. As a result, the snow on the nearby trees fell and almost drowned Xiao Si'er.

"Let's go and have a look at my house."

There is still a way from the entrance of the village to Li Luoyang's house. Looking at the muddy road, Li Luoyang really can't get off his feet. He doesn't want to walk home and have to bake his shoes by the stove all night. Just as he was about to pull Xiao Si'er, he saw Xiao Si'er shrink his hand, shake his head and said, "Luoyang, don't you know?"

"What do you know? Oh, you mean Li Pingwu robbed my house? I came back to settle accounts with him today. Hum, don't think our children are easy to bully, do you? If you dare to rob my house, you must have the consciousness to bear my anger!"

"Luoyang, you mean you haven't had time to punish Li Pingwu?" Xiao Si'er locked his neck when he said this, which made him shorter, almost like a normal child of seven or eight years old.

"Hmm? What happened? I don't know the look?"

"That's right."

Xiao Si'er was about to speak, but he heard someone calling Li Luoyang again. This time, Wu denggui came. He hurried over. His trouser legs were full of mud and his ideas were ignored.

"Uncle Deng GUI, how did you know I was coming back?"

"I don't know. I'm just hanging out at the entrance of the village." Wu denggui said easily, but Li Luoyang knew that things were never that simple. Wu denggui was not a patrol soldier. He was a teacher in the post station and specialized in teaching the basic boxing skills of primary and middle school children in the village. How could he be so idle shopping at the entrance of the village?

While talking to Li Luoyang, Wu denggui glanced at Li Chengzhen and Zhu Donghe. Of course Li Chengzhen knows him, so most of his eyes stay on Zhu Donghe. Wu denggui has always been vigilant against strangers outside the village.

"Let me tell you something."

Just as Li Luoyang was about to explain Zhu Donghe's identity, Wu denggui grabbed his left hand and dragged him to the other side of the road. After more than ten steps from the ox cart, Wu denggui stopped with a dignified face.

"Uncle Deng GUI, what's the matter?"

"You really don't know?"

"What do you know?" Li Luoyang really couldn't cry or laugh. What happened in the village? Just now he thought Xiao Si'er was just a coincidence. Now I'm afraid he's like Wu denggui. He's deliberately wandering around the village to wait for him.

"Something happened to Li Pingwu's family." Wu denggui shook his head and lowered his voice.

"What happened? What happened? I really don't know."

"Last night, it was about Yinshi. Someone heard someone shouting at Li Pingwu's house and a woman's voice, but there was no movement soon, so the big guy didn't get up to see it."

Rural people are not close to each other, and it's snowy in the middle of the night. If they don't set fire to the house, generally no one is willing to get up. Moreover, Li Pingwu's reputation in the village is not very good. In addition to Li Luoyang family, many people have suffered losses.

"As a result, Li Pingwu's daughter-in-law rushed to Li Baoshan's house early this morning, saying that Li Pingwu was killed last night and his family's property was not looted." here, Wu denggui stopped and stared at Li Luoyang. "Uncle Deng, why are you looking at me like this? Don't you think I did it?"

"You don't have that ability!" Wu denggui glared at Li Luoyang and said, "but now it's said from up to down in the village that it's because Li Pingwu greedy for ink in your house. You met a great green man in the county. You took revenge for you last night!"

"I'll go. They believe in this kind of thing? I'm still a child!" Li Luoyang's mood at this time is really "beeping the dog". He once had this idea, but it's too cruel to take someone's life just because of some property. He can't be like this. Even if he is a transgressor, he can't treat a living person as an NPC.

So Li Luoyang knew that he was wronged.
