Wei Kui's story goes back seven years, when he was eighteen years old.
Weijia Village is located at the foot of Crouching Tiger Mountain in Jindao County, northern Shengguo, and adjacent to the Zanglong River. The mountains and rivers here are high and the terrain is dangerous. Bandits often gather here to cause trouble.
Youdao is that unruly people come out of poor mountains and harsh waters. The villagers of Weijia Village have lived here for a long time and have developed the ability to fight wits and courage with bandits. The folk customs are extremely fierce. There are even some "unruly people" born among this group of people. An extremely ruthless person - a little boy in his early ten years dared to carry farm tools and resist the invading bandits, let alone adults and men. Therefore, this is the only village within a hundred miles that is not invaded by bandits.
Of course, not everyone has the ability to pick up a hoe and beat thieves when they are ten years old. This little boy who can beat the bandits who do all kinds of evil until they run away is a special case. Now the little boy has grown into a teenager.
"Wei Kui!" A middle-aged man with a bare upper body woke up Wei Kui who was lying on a big rock at the entrance of the village for a nap. "Are you coming to Uncle Zhuzi's house for a drink at night?"
Wei Kui opened his eyes drowsily and found that the person who woke him up was his uncle Wei Tiezhu from the same village. He replied: "With your drinking capacity...you still want to drink?"
Wei Tiezhu was not angry after being teased by his junior. He touched the back of his head and said, "Uncle, I want to discuss something with you. Just tell me whether you can come or not. Good wine and good food are indispensable to you."
When it came to having enough good wine and food, Wei Kui laughed and agreed, "Easy to say." Wei Tiezhu saw that Wei Kui had agreed, so he stopped disturbing his sleep and left with satisfaction.
Wei Kui was so noisy that he really couldn't sleep, so he lay half asleep on the boulder and relied on the shade of the tree to enjoy the coolness. In a daze, I saw a few strange figures wandering at the entrance of the village. I suddenly woke up and was ready to ask these people what their intentions were.
These strangers sneakily walked around the entrance of the village a few times, and were about to boldly walk into the village when they heard a thunderous voice behind them: "What are you doing?"
The boys were startled by the sound behind them. When they turned around, they discovered that there was another person lying under the big tree, and they couldn't help but feel palpitations. "Yes, I'm talking about you guys, don't look around." Wei Kui said lazily.
These people, all in their twenties and late thirties, were actually taken aback by this strong man - it's not their fault. Although Wei Kui has not yet reached the top, he is very majestic and majestic. Linlin doesn't look like a boy at all. The leader of these people, who looked smaller and smaller, said with a smile: "We are all from the nearby Lu'er Village, because the recent heavy rains destroyed many houses in the village, and the houses need to be repaired, and most of the women in our village are women. , the rest are all like me... skinny men, lack of strong men, so we want to come to the surrounding villages to borrow some strong young men to help us. People say that the men in your Weijia Village are particularly strong, so we went here today. Come visit..." The man was also funny. When he mentioned the people in the village, he pointed at himself.
"Lack of able-bodied men? Aren't there those behind you?" Wei Kui pointed behind the thin man. There were indeed four or five relatively stout men following him.
The face of the thin man suddenly fell into tears, "I said to you, brother, these few people are not enough... Our village only has these few strong young men - besides, more people are more powerful, and more people can help us sooner." It's done." The thin man actually called Wei Kui his eldest brother.
Wei Kui picked his nostrils and questioned a little: "You don't want these few strong men to hurry up and repair the houses in the village, why do you want to pull them out?"
Upon hearing this, the skinny man's face turned a little pale, and cold sweat broke out. After hesitating for a while, he said: "To be honest, because the heavy rain a few days ago destroyed the guardrails outside the villages, the bandits on Crouching Tiger Mountain They are starting to get rampant again. These bandits are very capable. They are all murderers without blinking an eye and setting fires without frowning. I brought these brothers here because I was afraid that bandits would come out and kill me..." said After finishing, he looked at the few people who followed him with fear. Those people had unkind expressions, but they nodded as if the thin man asked them to help testify.
"Want to invite us to help repair the houses in your village? Do you have a thank you gift?" Wei Kui asked again. He is not a money-grubbing person, he just thinks, how can you invite others to help you without bringing a gift? Although this guy's words are somewhat credible, his deeds are too obscene and suspicious.
"There are gifts. Yesterday, the intellectuals in our village edited a book and sent it to you together with the gift... It should have been sent to your village chief." The thin man rubbed his hands and smiled coquettishly.
"Tsk... ok." Wei Kui saw that the thin man was answering fluently, so he waved his hand and let them pass. He was still lying on the boulder as if sleeping soundly, but he kept squinting his eyes to pay attention. Those few people. Those few people did not enter the village, but walked to a distance to discuss something. In the end, only the thin man walked into the Wei family village. The other several strong men stayed for a while and then left.
In the evening, Wei Kui was still lying on the boulder and didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw Wei Cheng, the son of Uncle Tiezhu, coming out, he got up and stepped forward to greet him.
"Brother Wei Kui, my father asked me to come here to find you - he said he would let you come to my house for dinner tonight." Wei Cheng is a few months younger than Wei Kui, and he hangs out with Wei Kui on weekdays.
"Yes." Wei Kui nodded and followed Wei Cheng towards Uncle Tiezhu's house.
Entering the door of Uncle Tiezhu's house, Wei Kui made a "huh" sound, which was very lively. There were about seven or eight men sitting in Uncle Tiezhu’s house—Grandpa Wei San, the head of Weijia Village, his father Wei Tao, Uncle Tiezhu who invited him as a guest, and several young people from Weijia Village who were about the same age as himself—among them There was actually the thin man he met at the entrance of the village in the afternoon.
"Here?" Uncle Tiezhu stood up to greet Wei Kui and said with a smile, "Let me introduce to you. This is Lu Zhiying from nearby Luer Village. He came to our Weijia Village to move reinforcements."
Wei Kui nodded slightly, "I saw you at the entrance of the village in the afternoon - why didn't you see the others?"
Lu Zhiying knew that Wei Kui was asking about the whereabouts of the few strong men who came with him, so he replied: "Those brothers sent me here and went back first - as you said, our village is short of manpower." Well."
Uncle Tiezhu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "I've just met you, so there's no need for me to introduce you - Brother Lu, you, not only came to our Weijia Village to bring in reinforcements, but also to be a matchmaker for you young people." Woolen cloth!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiying repeatedly raised his hands and said: "This brother has an extraordinary appearance. He looks like a dragon or a phoenix among men. How can I consider myself my brother?" Upon hearing this, several young people in Weijia Village were overjoyed. Lu Zhiying didn't know what happened for a moment, and rubbed her hands in embarrassment.
"What kind of brother..." The speaker was Uncle Tiezhu's eldest son Wei Gong. He was more than four or five years older than Wei Kui, and he was now twenty-three years old. "He just looks old, but he's actually much younger than me!"
After listening to Wei Gong's explanation, Lu Zhiying wanted to get into the ground when he thought of calling Wei Kui "big brother" repeatedly in the afternoon.
"Okay." Uncle Tiezhu glared at the young disciples, "I'm a guest, so you all should be polite. You'll have to thank me for being your matchmaker later." So the disciples shut up and listened to what Lu Zhiying had to say. Something.
Lu Zhiying was eager to break this awkward atmosphere and cleared his throat: "I came to Weijia Village this time, firstly, to borrow some strong young people to help us repair the damaged houses in Luer Village, and secondly, for us The girls waiting to be married in Lu'er Village have found a happy man - they say that among the more than ten villages nearby, the men in Weijia Village are the most powerful and heroic. Seeing them today, it is true what they say. "Lu Zhiying is quite smart. He praised all the Wei men present with his half-truth words, which naturally made people happy.
Lu'er Village was originally called Lu'er Village, and it is a well-known place. I don't know whether it is due to the local customs or human sentiments. There have always been many girls in this village and few boys. And every girl in Lu'er Village is as beautiful as a flower. Generally speaking, although it cannot be called a lady, it can still be regarded as a beautiful lady. Many men from the surrounding villages have crossed the threshold to go here to propose marriage, hoping to marry a beautiful girl back home.
Deer is an auspicious animal, and it also symbolizes the love between men and women. People say that couples are deeply in love, and "husband and wife" means husband and wife. Deer skin is also known as Lipi. It was fashionable in the Sheng Dynasty to use deer skin as a betrothal gift for men and women at weddings. Because Lu'er Village has many girls and is famous for its good looks, the "Lu" in the village name was changed to "Lu". It has been decades since then; since then, the male surname is Lu , the girl's surname is Lu, and they all hope that the girl will marry into a good family.
When he heard that Lu Zhiying was going to be a matchmaker for his brothers, and the ones he was protecting were the Shui Ling girls from Lu'er Village, Wei Gong's mouth was about to drool - he was already twenty-three and had not yet gotten married, so how could such a good thing happen to him? When it comes to him, it really comes sooner rather than later - looking at Wei Dong's expression, his face turns green. He shows off all day long that he has a good wife - no matter how good the wife is in the world, how can he have a wife from Lu'er Village? Okay?
While Wei Gong was still thinking about it, Wei Cheng also jumped up excitedly, "Can I also get a wife?" Village chief Wei San's grandfather and Wei Tiezhu both laughed and patted Wei Cheng's arm, "Yes, yes!"
At this time, Uncle Tiezhu pulled Wei Kui in front of him and said to him: "Wei Kui, you have the most rugged and heroic appearance, and also has natural supernatural powers. Which girl will be lucky enough to marry you! And! Why don't you show off in front of your brother Lu and try to get you a village beauty as your wife?"
Lu Zhiying heard that Wei Kui had divine power, and immediately became interested, "Innate divine power? I want to see what my little brother is capable of."
The big matchmaker said this, and everyone around him wanted to cheer for his nephew and brother. Wei Kui was not very interested in marrying a wife, but just when he was about to refuse, he saw his father Wei Tao again. Looking at himself with a smile, he said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, I'll show you my skills." Then he strode out of the house and into the yard, with everyone following behind.
When Wei Kui saw a large stone table in the yard, he stepped forward and roared. He raised the stone table over his head with a little effort with his arms. Everyone cheered: "Okay! Okay!" Wei Kui listened to others. Praising himself and feeling inspired, he threw the stone table into the air again——
Everyone was in an uproar, and they were worried about him. Wei Tao immediately rushed over, shouting: "Get away quickly, be careful not to get hurt!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Wei Kui holding the stone table firmly in his hands and placing it lightly on the ground. "Okay! Okay! Okay!" Wei Tao felt relieved when he saw that his son was fine. The people standing in front of the house applauded and cheered, and the young people shouted to build momentum for Wei Kui. .
Lu Zhiying walked up to the stone table and wanted to test the weight of the stone table. He tried his best to eat it, but his face turned red and he could not move the stone table at all, which caused another burst of snickering from the younger generations. He withdrew to the side, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a powerful force - it is well-deserved." But his eyes were rolling in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
It was dinner time, and everyone was tired after making a lot of noise in the yard, so they returned to the house to start the banquet. During the dinner, Wei Tiezhu and Lu Zhiying kept talking about being a matchmaker, for fear of leaving behind their two sons.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone was a little tipsy. Wei Tiezhu was indeed as drunk as Wei Gui said. At this time, he was already lying on the kang with a red face, but he was still making gestures with his hands. When Wei Kui saw everyone lying down on the table, he secretly pulled his father out of the door.
"Dad, do you feel that something is wrong?" Wei Kui had a very good drinking capacity and rarely got drunk, so he asked at this time.
"Hiccup...you little brat...what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with being a matchmaker for you?" Wei Tao also drank a lot of wine and was a little dazzled.
"Isn't it just a favor to repair the dilapidated house? It's just a little effort. As for the one who gives away wine and meat and sells his daughter?" Wei Kui said with some disdain. He didn't have a good impression of Lu Zhiying. He always felt that this person had something else. Pictured. "What's the saying? To be courteous for nothing is to commit adultery or theft. A yellow-skinned person who pays New Year greetings to a chicken has no good intentions."
"Hey, you little bastard," Wei Tao quickly took out his hand and hit Wei Kui a few times, "They kindly contacted us to contact us, and you still said that they didn't have good intentions? I saw that you were ruthless before dinner. I wish…”
Seeing that his father was drunk and his voice was getting louder, Wei Kui quickly covered his mouth and said, "Okay, Dad, why don't I stop talking about this?"
Seeing his son's apologetic smile, Wei Tao's anger subsided and he led him into the house to drink again.
As soon as the two of them entered the house, they saw Grandpa Wei San holding a cane in one hand and patting his chest with the other hand: "Nephew Lu Xian, please stay in Weijia Village today. Old man, I promise you that I will send these young people out early tomorrow morning." I'll go to Lu'er Village with you to help." It looked like he had drunk too much.
No one expected that this promise would almost lead to a catastrophic disaster.
