Zheng Dalang had a tangled look on his face after listening to Bing Bo's words.
He really didn't want to invite that guy Wang Li.
On the one hand, it’s because of face.
During the day, I personally invited him to my home as a guest, but instead of showing any gratitude, he refused indifferently and rubbed his face on the ground.
If you invite him tomorrow and he still doesn't want to come, won't you have to be embarrassed again?
On the other hand, it's because of Fairy Girl.
Although the fairy lady didn't say anything and followed these night warriors to eliminate drought demons, her identity and status were there!
If I don't invite her to tomorrow's banquet, wouldn't that mean I'm not giving her face and will be resented by her?
But if that guy Wang Li also comes and the two parties meet, something might happen!
He now hopes that Xiangu will leave Zhengjia Village as soon as possible and go as far as possible. It is best to never see that guy Wang Li again in his lifetime!
Now if he is asked to create a chance for the two of them to meet, how could he be willing?
But Bing Bo's words made him hesitate again.
After all, when these night warriors besieged the zombie just now, I saw with my own eyes that they could only compete with the zombie on a equal footing.
They even said that they were no match for the zombies, so they had to release the red flames to help.
But the zombies that several night warriors couldn't deal with were actually killed by that guy Wang Li.
This is enough to show how powerful Wang Li is now!
Do I really want to offend that guy over something as trivial as a banquet?
Zheng Dalang weighed it over and over in his mind, and finally took a deep breath and said to Bingbo: "Thank you, Master Bingbo, for reminding me. Mr. Zheng will definitely not forget it tomorrow!"
Seeing that Zheng Dalang hesitated for so long, Bingbo thought he was still angry about what happened during the day and was unwilling to invite Wang Li.
Now that he heard what he said, Bingbo breathed a sigh of relief.
Zheng Dalang looked at Bingbo and then at the others. Seeing that they had no intention of talking anymore, he knew that the matter here was over and it was time to handle the family affairs by himself!
He turned to look at the trembling young man, stretched out his hand to pinch his neck, and dragged him into the mansion.
After dragging him through the door, Zheng Dalang threw the boy to the ground and winked at the person next to him.
Two people immediately understood and rushed forward. They first stripped off the young man's clothes, then took out the hemp rope from his waist and tied him to a chair.
The boy was held down by the two men and did not dare to fight back. He just looked at Zheng Dalang and begged: "Master! I shouldn't have deceived you. It's all my fault!"
"However, please consider that I have worked hard for so many years, worked hard, and served you without any complaints! Let me go this time! I will definitely not dare to do it again!"
"I joined the Zheng family when I was five years old. Over the years, there is no merit but hard work! Just for the sake of all these years, please let me go!"
Zheng Dalang looked at the young man who was pleading to him, with a sneer on his lips, and said: "Favor? The Zheng family has raised you for so many years, isn't it natural for you to work for the Zheng family? You have the nerve to show favor to me? "
"Originally, you are quite popular with me! If this matter had happened before, I might have scolded you and let it pass! But now! I am in a bad mood! I need someone to vent my anger!"
With that said, Zheng Dalang took the riding crop dipped in salt water handed to him by his subordinates, and whipped the young boy's body.
With just one stroke of the whip, the boy's body was immediately torn open, and blood mixed with the salt water from the riding whip flowed down.
"Ah!!!" The boy looked ferocious and shouted heartbreakingly. His body even started to twitch under the severe pain.
When a riding crop is exposed to water, or more accurately, after being soaked in water, the whip will absorb water and swell. In particular, the small burrs on the whip will increase friction after swelling.
In addition, the weight and toughness of the whip will increase, and the damage caused to people will be greater.
Moreover, the riding whip used by Zheng Dalang was not soaked in ordinary water, but in salt water.
After using this horsewhip on a person's skin to make a wound, the salt water stuck to the horsewhip will irritate the wound.
This is the so-called "adding salt to the wound". You can imagine the pain.
Not only that, when wounds are made with a riding crop soaked in water, the cells around the wounds will swell and burst due to water absorption, which will also increase the damage.
This kind of pain is really not something that ordinary people can endure.
At the very least, the boy couldn't bear it.
His screams were louder and more pitiful than the last, especially at night. They were terrifying to hear!
Listening to the boy's screams and feeling the pleasure of beating him, Zheng Dalang felt that the unhappiness in his heart was venting out bit by bit.
After a while, he looked at the boy who was lying on the chair in front of him. He was beaten to a bloody pulp, with not a single piece of meat on his body. He could no longer scream and was breathing out, with a look of disgust on his face.
Throwing the riding crop with blood and even fleshy foam in his hand to the person next to him, he said casually: "Throw this guy into the ground and let him make his final contribution to our Zheng family!"
Just this sentence decided the boy's final fate!
……………………
The next day, Wang Yu slept until he woke up naturally. When he woke up, the sun was shining brightly.
Looking at the sunlight streaming in through the broken door of the house, Wang Yu shook his head and lamented that it was really scary.
The zombie last night was at best a second-level zombie, but under the rumors spread by these villagers, it actually turned into a drought demon that could run thousands of miles across the ground.
If it was really a drought, it should have rained when it died last night. How could it be possible that it is still under the scorching sun now?
He sighed, got off the bed, held the orange cat in his arms, who was still sleeping soundly, and prepared to go out and get some food.
As soon as he reached the door of the house, he saw a man wearing gray linen standing in the yard.
This person must have been waiting in the courtyard for quite some time, because Wang Yu didn't notice anyone coming in at all.
If this guy wasn't stronger than me and couldn't detect it, then he came in while he was sleeping soundly.
Judging from the appearance, his clothes were exactly the same as those of those who followed Zheng Dalang yesterday.
This person should be from the Zheng family.
What are the people from the Zheng family doing here? This question popped up in Wang Yu's mind.
When the boy from the Zheng family saw his waiting person coming out, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, holding a greeting card made of red paper and decorated with gold foil in his hands, and said respectfully:
"Sir Wang Li, my master Zheng Dalang, in order to thank you all, killed the drought demon who caused trouble to Zhengjia Village last night, and specially set up a banquet in Zheng Mansion. Please come to the banquet."
Wang Yu didn't even look at the greeting card, let alone accepted it.
He yawned and said angrily: "Why are you asking me? I have no contact with your Zheng family! If you are so idle and have time to hold a big banquet, why not repair my yard as soon as possible!"
The boy had obviously been informed by Zheng Dalang when he arrived. Hearing Wang Yu's words, he immediately said: "Others don't know, but my master still knows."
"Everyone thought that the Drought Demon last night was killed by those Night Walkers, but in fact, without you, let alone killing zombies, those Night Walkers wouldn't be able to protect themselves!"
"So, my master naturally wants to thank you very much!"
"As for your yard, don't worry. My master has already sent people to the town to hire people! We have hired the best craftsmen, masons and carpenters. They will arrive in the afternoon! They will take care of it and make your yard look brand new!"
Wang Yu didn't really want to go, but once he came, he had been eating snacks in the past two days besides eating chicken at the fox demon's house and sheep at the snake demon's house.
Snacks are delicious, but they are not filling!
He eats a lot now. Although he only eats snacks, which has no impact on his body, he still feels hungry.
Since there is a ready-made banquet now, it would be a bit of a shame not to have a meal.
Secondly, I came to Zhengjiacun to complete the main mission, to investigate how Wang Yu's predecessor's wife died seven years ago.
Even if there were any clues or evidence about what happened seven years ago, they are probably gone now.
If I want to investigate this matter clearly, I'm afraid I have to find a way from the people in Zhengjia Village.
Anyway, I don’t have a clue now, so I might as well go to the banquet and have a look, maybe I can get some useful information!
Wang Yu made up his mind and nodded to the boy and said, "Okay! Why don't you go if you have a table to eat? But I know the way, so just take me there!"
The boy immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the master of the house said that if he didn't invite anyone, he would go with the unlucky guy last night!
That guy has been buried in the ground. If you keep company with him, wouldn't that mean you were buried alive?
The boy who saved his life saw that Wang Yu had no intention of accepting the invitation, so he took it back, then made a gesture of invitation and respectfully led Wang Yu the way.
Wang Yu hugged the cat and followed him towards Zheng's house.
