On the ground in front of the host's house, there were crumbs of red-skinned firecrackers everywhere, and Uncle Li stepped forward and hugged his fists with a big smile: "Forgive me, forgive me, I'm waiting for my junior to come back for the banquet at home, so I'm late." ”

The male host who returned the invitation greeted him warmly and said happily: "It's not too late, it's not too late, you have come just in time, please take a seat." Li Yan saw that the arrangement of seats was very particular, and it seemed that Uncle Li's status here was quite high, because Uncle Li was arranged in the courtyard on the right side of the Eight Immortals table, which was just facing the position of the master's gate.

Li Yan sat down and noticed that in another good position not far away, there was also a table of eight immortals with a good color, and this table of eight immortals was obviously separated from all the other eight immortal tables. This makes the venue, which already seems to be insufficient, more crowded.

Soon Li Yan felt that this Eight Immortals Table was different, when all the tables were full, especially when some of the tables outside the courtyard were crowded with more than ten people, this table still only sat one man, a very thin man who always sat upright.

The man was very serious at all times, barely speaking from beginning to end, and never talking to anyone, even his eyes were only fixed on the master's house. The naughty boys who were running around were also deliberately staying away from him.

The subsequent serving, the host's first dish, was a cold dish, which was first placed on his table, and then he was served a plate of three steamed buns with red dots in a very regular manner. The man smiled and leaned forward to thank his master.

The host also returned the salute very formally before leaving.

The man kept a smile on his face, and his posture of holding the steamed bun was a bit rigid, but he began to eat the steamed bun very carefully.

Uncle Li saw that Li Yan had been looking at this man, so he whispered: "He is our village keeper, a respected person, and he can't leave the village for half a step in this life." ”

"Village guards?" Li Yan seemed to have heard of somewhere.

The village keepers will basically choose those who have some problems with intelligence, and they will be designated from a very young age. When designated as the guardian of the village, this person is destined to live this life alone, and will never be able to step outside the confines of the village.

The village keeper doesn't have to do any labor, he doesn't need to make money, and the whole village will support him. In fact, this village keeper is not allowed to do anything that may be dangerous, nor is he allowed to make money.

But even if the whole village is responsible for raising him, that is, not letting him go hungry, as for clothes and other supplies, it is just barely passable.

Li Yan has been paying attention to the village keeper, and he has always maintained humility and a smile throughout the process. But Li Yan at least saw that the behavior of this village keeper was different from ordinary people. To put it mildly, whatever the reason, this village keeper is now in a sick state.

Uncle Li persuaded Li Yan: "Housheng, you don't have to be polite, here are the characteristics of our village, and you can't eat them outside." Our chefs have been passing down their cooking skills from generation to generation, so you should try them all. ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "Indeed, the dishes here maintain the original taste of the ingredients, which are very pure, and there are no superfluous miscellaneous tastes. Uncle Li said happily: "What you said is so right. ”

"I love this authentic food, these are the best, the most exquisite craftsmanship of the masters. ”

Uncle Li whispered: "It's a pity that this master is only when there is a big banquet

will make a move, and usually there is no such opportunity. And you have to book in advance. ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "The more masters you are, the more people you will invite." So you have to wait in line. ”

Uncle Li said proudly: "Master Master is from our village, and my ancestors have grown up here for generations. There are strict rules for them to receive the feast. ”

Li Yan praised: "Uncle Li, he is the pride of your village." ”

Uncle Li whispered with a little red on his face: "You know that the Li family on the mountainside, once the Li family held a banquet and came to invite the master, but the master had already agreed to the sacrificial banquet in the village, so he directly pushed it, and the Li family had no way at all, and they didn't dare to get angry." ”

Li Yan knew that the Li family that Uncle Li was talking about must be the Li Jiaqing family, but this also showed that this master was powerful enough.

"It seems that this master has a lot of character and is more level. ”

Uncle Li straightened up proudly, his eyes narrowed into slits, and said: "Our village is still famous far and wide, not only with the master, but also with the oldest family ancestral hall here, as well as the oldest tradition. ”

"That's good, everyone can trace the roots, and let the wanderers know where their roots are. ”

Uncle Li straightened his chest at this time, and then said very seriously: "Every year, there will be people who come back here to worship their ancestors, but the rules of our village are the rules of our village, and we are not allowed to worship our ancestors until the end of the day." ”

Li Yan asked casually, "Uncle Li, how old is the ancestral hall here?"

"There are more than 600 years of exact records. ”

"More than 600 years, it didn't exist in the Yuan Dynasty. ”

Uncle Li stroked his chin and nodded: "To be exact, it was the last years of the Song Dynasty, when there were few families here, and there was a stele enshrined in the ancestral hall, which was clearly written. ”

Li Yan was walking back after eating the banquet with Uncle Li, and Uncle Li smiled at Li Yan and thanked him: "Young man, I want to thank you, this time my junior didn't rush back, but you happened to come over." I didn't lose face. ”

Li Yan asked a little puzzled, "Am I just in time?"

"Yes, I promised the master's family, I will bring a junior over, but... Alas... There are some things that I don't just say anymore. ”

Uncle Li saw that Li Yan was a little puzzled, so he continued: "You should also see that there are very few offspring at the banquet, and even fewer offspring with dignified appearance like you, and the more postnatal life there is at the banquet, the more prosperous the more prosperous the banquet of one family." ”

The two of them talked, walked more slowly, and when they turned the small corner, they saw two cars parked not far in front of Uncle Li's house, Li Yan came to Zhonggang to be much more vigilant, and when he saw the strange car parked in front, he immediately asked Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, are those two cars here to find you?"

Uncle Li looked up, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, look at their appearance is passing by." Here you can go directly around the tunnel to the back mountain, and some people like to go to the top of the mountain to play. ”

But Li Yan had already seen that the people in the car seemed to be looking for him, because Li Yan had already sensed from the other party's body language that when the other party saw him, he immediately communicated with each other, and pointed at himself slightly with his fingers.

At this time, there were already three men in formal suits, flying towards him.

It didn't take long for him to come to Li Yan, and he bowed slightly very respectfully, and said, "Mr. Li."

We're here to pick you up. ”

Li Yan wondered, "Who are you? Who asked you to pick me up?"

"Our boss, Li Dong. ”

Li Yan asked thoughtfully: "Which Li Dong, tell me in detail." ”

"Master Li. ”

"Li Wangji, has he returned to China?"

"Li Dong did not come back, but Li Dong learned that Mr. Li came to China and Hong Kong, so he asked us to take care of Mr. Li, and when we learned that Mr. Li came here alone, we came over to listen to Mr. Li's dispatch. ”

Li Yan smiled politely, but turned his head to Uncle Li and said, "Uncle Li, then I will leave." ”

In the two cars, Li Yan was invited to sit in the second car, and in the second car, there was only one driver and another man in a suit who had just talked to Li Yan and sat in the car with Li Yan.

I just got into the car and went all the way, and there was not much to say on the road. Li Yan is also very used to it, there are too many family rules like this, and if you say too much, you will lose. However, Li Yan was thinking, Li Wangji actually returned to China and Hong Kong? This is the biggest good news for Li Wangji, and I don't know if Zhu Xiaomi is also in China and Hong Kong?

The car had not yet driven to the avenue, but the car in front suddenly stopped with a sudden brake, and the man in the suit who accompanied Li Yan apologized: "Mr. Li, you sit for a while, I'll go and have a look." ”

As he spoke, he got out of the car, and at the same time, the driver in front of him also jumped out of the car and walked forward.

Li Yangang was whispering: "These two people are too impatient, do you think that this is a job for the rich?"

The car Li Yan was riding in made a few slight noises, and the car actually locked itself. Li Yan reached out and tried to pull the door handle, and sure enough, the car had been locked.

"The center control of this car is actually brainless, and I'm still in the car. However, at the same time as smoke rose in the car during Li Yan's teasing, there was an explosion, and Li Yan only felt that after a violent vibration came from under him, a powerful shock wave followed.

It seems that the other party wants to use several prongs, but unfortunately, the consequence of a few prongs is that locking the door gives Li Yan time to doubt, and the rise of smoke gives Li Yan time to get out.

When Li Yan felt the vibration coming from under his body, Li Yan had already vacated above the roof of the car, and the smoke rising from below kept rising with Li Yan's body, but it never exceeded the soles of Li Yan's feet.

Li Yan dared to be careless, and almost stretched out his greatest ability to release. Even so, I still feel that I have been hit by foreign objects many times on my skin or slip on my skin.

There will always be an end to jumping, and when Li Yan fell, he saw that his clothes were already full of holes, where could he still cover his body? Li Yan looked around and saw that the car in front of him had also been lifted up, and after rolling a few times, the four wheels were facing the sky.

Of course, Li Yan even saw a few people hiding in the ravine under the roadbed, and one or two of them were bold, and they had already stuck their heads out and looked towards him.

Li Yan scolded sharply: "If you don't run, you will all leave me behind." ”

The most daring person who stuck out his head saw Li Yan rushing out like a cheetah from the smoke that had not completely dissipated, and he was already frightened, so he let Li Yan lean over and pounce on him, and was slapped in the face.

Those men in suits who are still cowering in the ravine, with their butts facing the sky, don't know what will happen and don't wake up.
