Wu Dalang uprooted a weeping willow, winning fame and preparing for a rainy day! (+1, thanks for the update votes)

"Brother Wu Da, if you don't want to talk, then don't. Why are you toying with me?"

Nujia was not a term used by married women in ancient times. Nu means "servant". Here, Pan Meizi calls herself Nujia, which is just a modest title.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but it's too complicated to explain. Just pretend I've taken Spirit Elixir."

Ling Yi said it casually, but little did he know that Sister Pan would actually believe it.

At this moment, Sister Pan was thinking, "Could it be that Brother Wu Da has been blessed by the gods and received their inheritance? Otherwise, where would he get so many treasures?"

In the morning, Zhang Changwu led a group of constables to Ling Yi's place.

Upon seeing Ling Yi, the constables were extremely surprised, and Ling Yi had no idea how to explain.

Sister Pan, however, raised her head and glanced at Zhang Changwu and the others, saying, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

If he hadn't said that, Zhang Changwu would have been surprised at most. But these words made Zhang Changwu and the others think more deeply.

After spending time together yesterday, everyone was already much more respectful towards Wu Da, after all, "He who takes a man's money is bound to do his bidding."

Now, Wu Da University has gained Spirit Severing, and people's awe of it has grown even stronger.

"You've come at the right time. Come with me for a sparring session."

" Wu Da... Husband, you mustn't do that! Fists and feet have no eyes. What if you get hurt?" Sister Pan quickly spoke up to stop him.

Sister Pan calling Ling Yi" husband" pleased him greatly, although Ling Yi knew that Sister Pan only called him that in front of outsiders.

But what Ling Yi didn't know was that Sister Pan's use of the word "husband" wasn't just a casual remark.

Last night she tossed and turned, thinking a lot, and also considering her place in this family.

Ling Yi could pretend not to care, but she couldn't.

With Ling Yi's intelligence and talent, his future achievements are bound to be extraordinary. Following Ling Yi doesn't seem like such a bad choice.

Especially when Sister Pan discovered that Ling Yi had grown taller and more handsome, she became even more determined in her heart.

"Yes, brother, you are of noble birth, while we are just rough men who don't know our own strength. If we hurt you, we won't be able to explain ourselves to the county magistrate."

Zhang Changwu also quickly offered his advice.

Ling Yi suddenly felt bored, but he was full of energy and wanted to find something to play with.

Just then, I saw a leafless willow tree swaying in the Han Feng by the roadside outside the door.

Ling Yi's restless spirit was completely out of control.

He chuckled twice, swung his arm, and walked directly to the willow tree.

I casually patted the tree trunk twice, causing the trunk, which was about half a foot thick, to shake a couple of times.

Sister Pan didn't see anything amiss, and didn't even understand what Ling Yi was trying to do.

Zhang Changwu and his companions were all deeply shaken. The force behind that casual slap was definitely not small; this Wu Da probably really did have some Kung Fu Hustle.

Ling Yi circled the willow tree twice, as if inspecting something.

By now, there were quite a few people around. The news of Wu Da becoming an official and getting rich had spread throughout the surrounding neighborhood overnight. When they saw Wu Da Wu Da again today, they found that he had grown quite a bit taller.

This alone has amazed many people.

"This tree is really an eyesore." Ling Yi found a reason to pull up the tree, then bent down, wrapped his arms around the trunk, and hugged it from behind.

"Rise!" Ling Yi roared, his entire body surging with power.

Just when everyone thought Ling Yi was being foolish, the willow tree suddenly creaked and began to tilt.

The bark of the tree that Ling Yi was embracing crumbled, and the area was even slightly dented.

Bang bang bang!

A series of dull thuds came from underground; these were the sounds of tree roots being snapped by Great Strength.

The snow covering the tree roots was shaken away, and the Freeze soil was lifted upwards.

"Rise!"

Ling Yi exerted a sudden force, uprooting the entire willow tree from the ground. He then swung the tree over his shoulder, paused briefly, and with another powerful throw, tossed it dozens of meters away.

Everyone present gasped, their eyes filled with nothing but awe.

Sister Pan felt her heart was about to leap out of her chest at this moment. In her eyes, Wu Da was now an unparalleled hero in the world.

"Good!" Zhang Changwu was the first to react and shouted "Good!"

"Good!"

The people around cheered, and for a moment it became a lively and bustling scene.

"Hahaha, excellent! Constable Wu has uprooted the willow tree; from now on, Yanggu County will be renowned throughout the land."

Just then, County Commandant Su's voice rang out from the crowd.

The crowd quickly greeted them and parted to make way for them.

County Commandant Su walked a few steps to Ling Yi, and the more he looked at him, the more surprised and shocked he became. This Wu Da's performance had truly exceeded his expectations.

"Greetings, County Commandant Su," Ling Yi Fist Dao.

" Constable Wu's Kung Fu Hustle are truly superb; I, the county magistrate, have misjudged him."

" County Commandant Su, you flatter me. Please come into my humble abode for a chat."

"Good!"

County Commandant Su arrived with two carriages to collect the Heavenly Palace Noodles. The two had already agreed yesterday that Ling Yi would not sell the Heavenly Palace Noodles, and County Commandant Su would handle all the sales issues.

Ling Yi found it troublesome, while County Commandant Su didn't want others to know the origin of the Heavenly Palace Noodles.

The 5,000 strings of cash were actually a deposit. Ling Yi sold the barrel to County Commandant Su for 800 coins a barrel. As for how much County Commandant Su would sell it for, Ling Yi didn't care at all.

In Ling Yi's eyes, this price was already astronomical, considering his cost was only... 10 coins.

The instant noodles were prepared last night and filled the entire storage room.

At this moment, County Commandant Su also noticed Sister Pan and couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

"And who is this...?" County Commandant Su asked Ling Yi.

"My name is Pan Jinlian, the wife of my husband. I greet you, Magistrate."

"Oh! Constable Wu, you're quite lucky." Although County Commandant Su said this, he couldn't hide the resentment in his eyes.

This instantly ignited a murderous intent within Ling Yi.

This old man is courting death.

"Go upstairs first!" Ling Yi said to Sister Pan, his voice turning undisguisedly cold.

County Commandant Su stared at Pan Jinlian's Ying Yi until she disappeared, not even noticing the Leng Yi in Ling Yi's voice.

"Su... Bao!" Ling Yi's voice boomed in County Commandant Su's ears, each word distinct and clear.

County Commandant Su shuddered, then realized he had been somewhat out of line.

He cursed himself inwardly. Ling Yi was now his cash cow, and he had actually been blinded by her. At this critical moment, he had completely lost his mind.

At the same time, he was extremely dissatisfied. Wu Da was just a commoner, yet he dared to yell at him like that. He would make sure Wu Da lost his head when he got his recipe.

"My apologies, my apologies. I lost my temper for a moment, please forgive me. I will host a banquet at the Lion Tower tomorrow to apologize to you, Captain."

"No need. Wu Da is just a reckless man; he was probably drunk and acted recklessly, Charge you, sir."

After Ling Yi finished speaking, he sat down to the side and ignored everyone else.

County Commandant Su chuckled twice and said no more, but at that moment, both of them felt a surge of murderous intent.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive until County Commandant Su loaded the instant noodles into the car and left, at which point the two of them didn't even bother with pleasantries.

On the snowy road, County Commandant Su sat in his carriage, warming himself by a brazier, and asked Zhang Changwu, who was following beside him, "Have you found anything?"

" Wu Da is extremely cautious. He always disappears from sight when he retrieves the Heavenly Palace Noodles, so I dare not get too close. Besides, sir, you witnessed Wu Da's strength today; ordinary methods probably won't work."

"Who is that beautiful Jiaoniang? Why have I never heard of her before?"

Zhang Changwu's disgust deepened, but he still respectfully said, " Pan Jinlian was originally a maid in Zhang Song's household. Because of her beauty, Zhang Song coveted her several times but was rejected each time and failed to succeed."

"Later, Zhang Song Zhang Song's wife found out about this. She was extremely jealous, so while Zhang Song was away from home, she dumped Pan Jinlian at Wu Da's doorstep and threatened her to marry Wu Da."

"What a pity, what a pity!" County Commandant Su said repeatedly. "If we had discovered earlier that this beautiful Jiaoniang was a servant of the Zhang Family, we wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble."

"Alright, we still need the Heavenly Palace Noodles from Wu Da for now, so it's not advisable to antagonize them too much. Keep a close eye on things and make sure you get your hands on the recipe."

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, at Wu Da's home, Sister Pan was sitting next to Ling Yi with a worried expression.

"It is I who have brought trouble upon you, my lord. To me, having this body has only brought misfortune."

"What are you talking about? What's wrong with being good-looking? You don't need to worry. If it were two days ago, I might have been afraid of him, but now he wouldn't dare to act recklessly."

"However, we should still make more preparations and plan ahead."

"What are you planning to do, my Sister Pan asked curiously.

"I want to buy fame, a huge reputation."

Can reputation still be bought?

"Reputation is bought."

The next day, Ling Yi set up three large pots in front of his house and even put up a flag next to them.

It read, "Distribute porridge!"

The court is now corrupt, the emperor is indulging in pleasure, the buying and selling of official positions is rampant, and 99% of officials in various places are corrupt, making life unbearable for the people.

Yanggu County was no exception; the heavy taxes and levies made it impossible for most people to make ends meet.

There are many beggars and homeless people on the streets.

Especially in the dead of winter, countless people will freeze to death or starve to death on the streets.

That morning, news of Wu Da's porridge distribution spread throughout Yanggu County.

A large number of people who had no time to eat rushed over.

Ling Yi selected several dozen poor men to help maintain order, cook porridge, and watch the pot.

This was the first time Ling Yi had realized that the suffering of the common people was far more difficult than he had imagined.

In this era, there was no central heating; people could only keep warm by burning charcoal, but most people couldn't even afford to burn charcoal.

Some people even froze to death while sleeping at home.

"Behind the red gates, meat and wine go to waste, while on the streets, frozen corpses lie!" Ling Yi stood on the second floor, looking down at the bustling crowd with Sister Pan, and murmured to himself.

At this moment, Ling Yi really wanted to do something for these people.

"My lord, you have done enough. At least these people will survive because of you."

"No, that's not enough, far from enough. Either don't do it at all, or do it in a Tilling."

Just then, Ling Yi happened to see County Commandant Su's six carriages slowly approaching, and couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems our county magistrate is doing quite well in business!"
