Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info When there was no Li Jiangcheng, Jia Huifang was still very kind to Li Yu, but only after Li Jiangcheng was born, all this changed, Jia Huifang began to be cruel to Li Yu, and the Buddha seemed to have changed into a person. Although their family was very rich, Li Yu was very poor compared to the rest of the family, because almost all the good things were given to his younger brother by his stepmother.
Time flies, Li Jiangcheng slowly grew up, and at this time, everyone found that Li Jiangcheng was a little stupid, which made Jia Huifang angry, but she had great hopes for her baby son. But now that the matter has come to this, what can she do? The only thing that gives her peace of mind is that she is still young and can have another child, and that her precious son is not too stupid. It's just that it backfired, a few years have passed, but she never gave birth to a child again, looking at the wrinkles on Li Yuanwai's forehead and the dazzling white hair on her temples, Jia Huifang could only accept her fate, she thought to herself, even if her son is a little stupid, the Li family's huge family business must be her son Li Jiangcheng's.
At this time, Li Yu was a thorn in her eye and a thorn in her flesh. Every time she saw Li Yuanwai getting close to Li Yu, she didn't feel good in her heart, she always felt that Li Yuanwai was going to leave all the family business to Li Yu. For this, she has been anxious.
Or her maid understood her thoughts, so she quietly said to Jia Huifang, "Woman, in fact, you think too complicated, you said that if there is no eldest young master, then what will be the result?", after listening to the maid's words, Jia Huifang was startled, and looked at her personal maid for a while, she came back to her senses and said, "What do you mean?" said and made a murderous gesture, the maid hurriedly said, "Woman, you misunderstood, I mean to find a way to make the eldest young master willingly lose the right to inherit the family property" , Jia Huifang nodded thoughtfully after listening.
One day, Jia Huifang suddenly fell ill, and Li Yuanwai anxiously invited the best local Lang Zhong to see Jia Huifang, but after Lang Zhong's examination, he found that Jia Huifang was fine, so he prescribed a few herbs and left, but after taking the medicine, Jia Huifang still did not get better, but became more and more haggard and emaciated. Helpless, Li Yuanwai invited Lang Zhong again, but the result was still the same, Jia Huifang did not have any disease, which also made Lang Zhong embarrassed, thinking that he had encountered some incurable disease that he could not diagnose, so Lang Zhong stopped treating Jia Huifang, and asked Li Yuanwai to ask Gao Ming for another visit.
Li Yuanwai looked at his increasingly haggard wife, and felt distressed, but he invited a lot of Langzhong one after another, but it was useless, and when Li Yuanwai was at a loss, one morning Jia Huifang suddenly said to Li Yuanwai weakly, "Husband, I had a strange dream last night, I dreamed that a white-bearded old man said to me, my disease needs to be cured by the melon seeds planted by our two sons in the back mountain, and they need to be planted separately, husband, you say it's not strange." After listening to his wife's words, Li Yuanwai was very surprised, he had always believed in the Buddha, and he thought that the Buddha must be guiding him. So he called his two sons and said, "Your mother's condition has not improved, last night Buddha dreamed of your mother, saying that only the melon seeds planted by the two of you can cure your mother's disease, you two clean up today, tomorrow you will go to the back mountain to plant melon seeds, Yu'er will go to the east mountain, Jiangcheng will go to the west mountain, if you can't grow melon seeds, don't come back" After saying seriously, let the two go back to pack their luggage.
In the evening, Jia Huifang secretly called the maid and asked, "Have you prepared all the melon seeds that the young master wants to plant?", "Okay, it's all ready, you taste it, the melon seeds prepared for the eldest young master are just fried, and they are still fragrant" Saying that, he took out the fried melon seeds in his pocket and gave them to Jia Huifang with a smile. "You dead girl, you will be hungry for me, do you know the pain of me only eating a little food every day during this time in order to pretend to be sick?" Jia Huifang glanced at the maid and replied, "Hehe, I said madam, you can pretend for a few days, who let you pretend to be so long", the maid Xiaocui said helplessly, "You girl, if you don't pretend to be longer, who will believe it?" But as long as Jiang Cheng can inherit the family property, it will all be worth it" Jia Huifang said with hope.
The next day, Li Yu brothers and two on the road, both said that Wangshan ran a dead horse, although the back mountain seems to be close, but it is very far away, walking and walking, Li Yu in order to pass the time, he took out the melon seeds he planted and knocked them up, Li Jiangcheng saw his brother knocking melon seeds, and he took out his own melon seeds and knocked them up, but knocked a few trees, he felt that his melon seeds were not delicious at all, but he saw that his brother knocked with relish, so he asked, "Brother, what do your melon seeds taste like? I don't believe you can try it", he took out his melon seeds and gave them to his younger brother. Li Jiangcheng took the melon seeds and tasted them, and they were really fragrant, so he asked Li Yu to exchange them with him.
When they arrived in the mountains, the two brothers went to their own mountains according to their father's request, and when they arrived at the east mountain, they saw the vast fields and streams of the mountain streams, Li Yu was so excited, he liked the fields and preferred to be unrestrained, although his family had a lot of money, but he was not happy at all. He found the hut where the people of their family lived in the field, where the necessities of his life had already been prepared, he simply cleaned up the house, said to Uncle Wang, who was watching the field, and ran to the mountains excitedly. Watching the birds flying and singing, and the flowers and plants swaying happily in the wind, Li Yu did not have a trace of sorrow and distress about leaving home. Li Jiangcheng is different, he looks at the simple little house, and he can't help but miss his family a lot.
The next day, Li Jiangcheng hurriedly planted the melon seeds in the ground, in fact, it should not be said that it was planted but sprinkled in the ground, of course, he also kept some of the melon seeds he ate. Until now, Li Jiangcheng didn't know that he was planting fried melon seeds, and he still hoped that the melon seeds would be the mayor of the city as soon as possible, so that he could return to his happy home.
Li Yu was not in a hurry, he turned over the field first, except for the grass, and waited for a rain to pass, he carefully planted the melon seeds he had selected. After that, he went to water the melon seeds every day, and the melon seeds sprouted in a few days, looking at the tender melon seed seedlings, Li Yu's heart was full of a sense of the city, and when he thought that the melon seeds he planted could cure his mother's illness, Li Yu felt that he had a great responsibility. One day, as usual, he walked around the melon seed field, except for a few tenacious weeds, he took advantage of the good weather to go to the forest to play, because it was spring, the forest was full of birds and flowers and all kinds of wild fruits that could be eaten, Li Yu was getting farther and farther away from the place where he lived, and he was full of curiosity about the whole mountain. Walking and walking, suddenly there was a popping sound not far away, Li Yu was startled, he thought he had encountered some birds of prey, but it didn't look like it when he listened carefully. He then calmly walked over, it turned out that a fierce eagle was catching a snow-white fox on a flat ground in front of him, only to see the eagle fly up and down from time to time, attacking the fox with its powerful claws and wings, and the fox dodged dexterously, attacking the eagle with his mouth from time to time, it seemed that he did not show weakness, but after all, he was not the opponent of the eagle, not for a long time, the fox was not aware of being thrown to the ground by the eagle, seeing that the eagle's claws were about to grab the fox's head, Li Yu rushed over and stepped on the eagle with a sharp step, but the eagle dodged and scared the eagle away, Li Yu hurriedly looked at the fox, only to see that the fox had passed out to the ground, There are many injuries on his body, Li Yu took off his clothes to wrap the injured and unconscious fox, and hurriedly went back.
After Li Yu's careful care, the fox woke up the next day, and when he saw the fox wake up, Li Yu was very happy, he hurriedly found food and put it in front of the fox, and the fox didn't seem to be afraid of him, and his eyes were full of gratitude, and after a few glances at him, the fox went to eat. After eating, the fox swaggered and found a comfortable place to sleep, Li Yu was both surprised and delighted, "It is said that the fox is smart, it seems to be true" He muttered in his heart. Instinctively, he preferred the fox to stay with him.
After a few days, the fox fully recovered, and it was almost inseparable from Li Yu, wherever Li Yu went, it followed, Li Yu also liked the fox very much, and named it Bai Xue.
