Lu Bu spoke patiently, and the eight young men also listened attentively.

It wasn't until the rain stopped for a long time that Lu Bu handed them the basic things. The rest depended on their individual talents.

Lu Bu saw that the rain stopped and there was nothing going on here, so he left Li San's house and continued walking towards the town.

The victim closest to Li San's family was a middle-aged man named Li Shi.

The reason why he was injured was because he was not convinced and relied on his strength to compete with Lu Bu, but one of his arms was broken.

As soon as Lu Bu walked into the door of Li Shi's house, he heard the cry of a woman inside. He was startled, and then he stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.

Soon, a woman's voice came from inside the door.

"Who is it? Come in, the door is not locked."

Lu Bu gently opened the door and walked into the courtyard. He saw a strong man sitting in front of the eaves, looking at Lu Bu in surprise. He was Li Shi.

There was a woman standing next to him, leaning against the wall and wiping her tears. Next to the woman was a little boy, leaning against his mother, looking at Lu Bu with wide eyes and confusion.

Lu Bu walked into the courtyard and bowed his hands to Li Shi, "I came here this time just to see if there is anything I can do to help you?"

When Li Shi recognized Lu Bu, his face suddenly turned livid. He snorted coldly and turned his head away, but said nothing.

The little boy blinked, "Dad and mother just had a fight, and neither of them was happy."

Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "Children, why are they quarreling?"

Sister-in-law Li wiped her tears and hurriedly pulled the child over, "It's none of your business. Stop asking and leave quickly."

Lu Bu shook his head, "Brother Li's arm was injured by me, and I feel very guilty. If there is anything I can do to help, I will try my best to help."

Sister-in-law Li's eyes lit up, but when she saw Lu Bu's dress and temperament, she shook her head in disappointment, "No, you can't help us, why don't you leave?"

Lu Bu walked up to the two of them and tried his best to put on a friendly expression, "Sister-in-law Li, just tell me if you have any difficulties. If I can help you, I will save you the trouble."

Hearing this, before Mrs. Li could speak, Li Shi coughed and said, "Okay, anyway, my arm was injured by you. Just tell the child."

After hearing her husband's permission, Mrs. Li told the whole story.

It turned out that Li Shi had contracted a wall-building job a few days ago and agreed to complete it in 7 days. However, because his arm was injured, the work has been delayed and the work will be completed the day after tomorrow. But the wall is only half-finished. Even if he rushes to work tomorrow, it may be too late. What's more, his arm is injured, so how can he do such heavy work!

Because of this matter, Sister-in-law Li went to the Weiqiang family to explain the situation, hoping to delay it for a few days. However, they refused and said that if they couldn't finish the job within 7 days, not only would they not be given money, but their family would also be asked to pay. Lose money.

Sister-in-law Li cried sadly after she came back because she heard that she had to lose money.

Li Shi suddenly sneered, "Did you hear that? You said you could help me, so just help me?"

Lu Bu frowned, "How long will it take to complete the wall?"

Sister-in-law Li sighed, "Brother is a prudent person. He told others that it would be done in 7 days, and he would be able to finish it in 7 days. However, after only two days of doing it, his hand was injured and he could no longer do it. "

Lu Bu nodded, "Does this mean there are still four days of work left to do?"

At this point, Lu Bu didn't wait for Li Shi's answer and asked again, "Is the work of repairing the wall complicated?"

Li Shi shook his head, "The wooden box has been set up. All you need to do is fill it with soil and tamp it down. When the soil is solid, dismantle the wooden box and it's done."

Lu Bu nodded, "I don't understand what you're talking about. If you want to go, I'll have to trouble you to go with me."

Li Shi's eyes lit up when he heard that Lu Bu was really willing to help him, "Really?"

Lu Bu smiled and nodded, "It's true."

Li Shi was overjoyed, "Then let's go now. Although I only have one hand, I can still do a lot of work. The two of us must work hard. If we don't sleep for two nights, even if we can't finish it, there won't be much left." , go and beg the master, maybe he can give us another day, that would be great."

Lu Bu shook his head, "Don't worry, it's raining today. You have to rest at home. I'll go with you early tomorrow morning."

"Early tomorrow morning?"

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Since you don't want to go, then forget it, I'm not forcing you."

He could see that the other party was not sincere, otherwise why wouldn't he agree?

Lu Bu didn't say much, just cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li, see you tomorrow morning."

After speaking, Lu Bu turned around and left.

Li Shi looked at Lu Bu's leaving figure and suddenly took a deep breath.

"I've already seen that he doesn't want to go, so he's still lying here. It's really ridiculous!"

Sister-in-law Li finally saw some light, but when she saw Lu Bu leaving, she suddenly started crying in disappointment.

"What can we do? It will be completed the day after tomorrow!"

Li Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, how about we go tonight and you help me, we hold on tight, maybe we can finish it."

After the two settled their children, they went to work, but Sister-in-law Li was just a woman, so she had no strength.

Although Li Shi was so anxious that he was furious, he only had one hand to exert force and how much force he could exert.

There were a few times when he couldn't help but use his injured arm, and the pain immediately made the veins on his forehead pop. He gritted his teeth to keep from screaming.

The two of them gritted their teeth and sat down reluctantly. They waited until midnight without doing much work. In the end, they were so tired that they couldn't stand it anymore and had no choice but to go home to rest.

"The child's father, I'm afraid he really won't be able to finish it this time!"

Li Shi was also completely desperate, "My child, there is nothing we can do. Prepare the money and pay it to others when the time comes."

As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Li covered her face and started crying, "Where is the money? Where do you want me to find money to compensate you?"

"well!"

Li Shi sighed feebly, turned to look at the empty home, and suddenly roared angrily.

The year was bad, and I didn't even have enough to eat. I was hungry for several months a year, and I had no money.

Don't think that after doing this alone, your family will have more meals to eat.

However, the result turned out to be this!

It's all that evil man's fault. If it weren't for him, how could his arm be broken?

As long as my arm is not broken, I will definitely be able to complete the work if I work hard in these seven days.

But now….

Li Shi was so angry that he gritted his teeth and sighed when he thought of the compensation.
