Chapter 37: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter (II)
I don't know if this old man Bai is intentional or unintentional, Bai Lianxiang hasn't opened his mouth yet, he has pulled the topic to Bai Lianxiang's son's competitors.
The competitor that Old Man Bai said was naturally Li Qiu!
The Dong'er in the mouth of Bai Lianxiang and Old Man Bai is another descendant of the Li family, the son of Li Qiu's second uncle Li Xia, and Li Qiu's cousin, and his name is Li Dong.
In this way, Li Qiu's father can only be called Li Chun!
Under normal circumstances, according to the Chinese tradition of naming, if the four words spring, summer, autumn and winter are used to name people, these four people must be brothers of the same generation.
But the strange old man Li, because he was affected by the prophecy left by his ancestor, forcibly pressed the names of the four brothers to the two pairs of father and son.
Li Chun and Li Qiu are father and son, which is in response to the prophecy of spring going to autumn.
Li Xia and Li Dong are also father and son, which corresponds to the prophecy of the summer but winter solstice.
The two brothers, Li Chun and Li Xia, naturally knew the relationship between each other as siblings of the same mother, but Li Qiu and Li Dong, two cousins, did not know the relationship between each other because they were restricted by the rules left by the ancestor of the Li family.
Even Li Qiu didn't even know that he had a second uncle, he only knew that his father was a descendant of the Li family in the capital, but if they wanted their family to return to the Li family to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, then he had to complete the task given to him by the family!
Even if he can't complete that task, not to mention that their family will lose the opportunity to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, even he himself is afraid that he will not be able to be with his parents and family in this life!
This is also the biggest reason why Li Qiu has started his own business since he was eighteen years old and worked hard and hard!
But the more he wandered in this society, the more he felt that life was not easy, and Li Qiu basically didn't have any hope that he could complete that task!
But Li Qiu doesn't hold out hope, this doesn't mean that others will have the same idea as him!
In Li Qiu's father's generation, there are only two descendants, Li Chun and Li Xia, but because the abilities of the two of them do not meet the standards of Old Man Li, Old Man Li does not recognize the identity of the two Li family descendants.
And in the generation of Li Qiu and Li Dong, Old Man Li set a task that was almost impossible to complete, and asked the two brothers who had never met to complete it.
Moreover, Old Man Li also set a rule, requiring Li Qiu and Li Dong, brothers to never be with their parents and family at the same time until they completed their tasks, let alone accept any help from their parents' family and the Li family!
Only after Li Qiu and Li Dong have completed this task can they let themselves and their families recognize their ancestors and return to the family, and choose the best one among these two brothers to be the head of the Li family!
If the two brothers Li Qiu and Li Dong can't complete this task, then not only will the two of them and their families not be able to return to the Li family to recognize their ancestors, but even the reunion of their own families will become very luxurious!
In the words of Old Man Li, the Li family does not need such useless descendants!
Even if the thousand-year-old Li family is passed on to such useless descendants, the thousand-year-old Li family will decline sooner or later!
Instead of letting the millennium Li family gradually decline, it is better to let the millennium Li family permanently cut off the inheritance in glory!
However, although Old Man Li said so, Bai Lianxiang and her husband Li Xia never thought so.
These two couples stubbornly believe that even if Mr. Li is selfless and hard-hearted, but in the face of the inheritance of the family and the reproduction of children and grandchildren, he must be ruthless!
Even if Li Qiu couldn't complete the task assigned to him by his family, he was still a very threatening competitor to Li Dong!
If Li Qiu dies, then the descendants of the Li family for thousands of years will be left with Li Dong alone!
The glory of the thousand-year-old Li family will not be cut off because of Li Dong!
Old man Li, no matter what, he wants to pass on the thousand-year-old Li family's inheritance to Li Dong's hands!
What's more, as long as the time comes with the secret help of the Bai family, as long as Li Dong completes the task set by the old man Li, without any competitors, Li Dong can rightfully sit in the seat of the head of the Li family for thousands of years!
In the past thousand years, the position of the lord of the Li family in Huaguo has been much more noble and respected than the throne of the emperor Lao'er and the dignity of the head of state!
But now Old Man Li has sent Su Ni from his chivalrous line to Li Qiu's side to secretly protect Li Qiu, and the meaning of this is not difficult to imagine as long as people with a little brains can imagine it!
If Li Qiu doesn't die, then Li Dong's chances are very slim, and there is almost no hope!
After thinking of this, Bai Lianxiang suddenly walked in front of Old Man Bai and knelt down at Old Man Bai's knees with a pop.
"Father, please help your daughter, please help Dong'er!"
Bai Lianxiang begged Old Man Bai while slamming her head to the ground, and in an instant, Bai Lianxiang's forehead was covered with blood.
"Lianxiang, why are you so troubled?" Seeing that his daughter's forehead was bleeding, Old Man Bai immediately hugged Bai Lianxiang and asked with a distressed expression.
"Father, I have already let the people of Qianmen attack twice, but the people of Qianmen can't kill Li Qiu!" Bai Lianxiang stubbornly knelt on the ground and said with a resolute expression.
Bai Lianxiang's purpose is very clear, if Old Man Bai doesn't agree to her conditions, she will definitely not get up from the ground.
"None of the people of a thousand doors can kill Li Qiu, could it be that Li Qiu's side has a master secretly protecting him?" The treacherous and cunning old man Bai frowned and thought for a moment before immediately guessing the truth.
"Li Qiu's side has Su Ni of the Chivalrous Gang Organization secretly protecting him, and the three generals sent out before and after the Thousand Gates, but none of them were able to kill Li Qiu!" Bai Lianxiang observed Old Man Bai's face while telling the truth.
"Su Ni of the Chivalrous Traveling Organization?" After hearing this, Old Man Bai gasped.
The fact that the old man of the Li family was able to send Su Ni of the Xia Kexing organization to Li Qiu's side shows that he attaches great importance to Li Qiu, so it seems that the hope of his grandson Li Dong is indeed relatively slim!
"Father, you must help me! You must help Dong'er!" Bai Lianxiang was about to kowtow to the ground again.
Old Man Bai hurriedly hugged his daughter, "How do you want me to help you?" asked the old man.
"Father, the people of Qianmen said that as long as they give them a hundred million, they will definitely help us kill Li Qiu!" Bai Lianxiang looked at Old Man Bai with a look of anticipation and said.
After hearing this, Old Man Bai took another deep breath of cold air and didn't make a sound for a long time.
