It's a fairly peaceful little village.
The village sits at the foot of the mountain, with green mountains as its backing, and a small river winds around the village. If there is a feng shui master here, it will be a great delight. There is a jade belt around the village in front, and the back waist is against the mountain to set the water and wind, which is clearly a good feng shui treasure land. It's just that the mountain is not big enough, and the river is too small. Therefore, there are no princes and generals here, but food and clothing are not a problem, and one or two eunuchs can be born by chance.
The small village is called Lijia Village, and most of the people living in the village are surnamed Li. The Li family has been here for hundreds of years, and there have been several figures in the ancestors. To this day, there are still a few children who are officials outside. From an outsider's point of view, Lijia Village is really a prominent family within a radius of 100 miles.
At least the Li family ancestral hall is very magnificent.
Before the sun climbed the hillside, Li Taohua had to get up from the bed, do laundry, cook, cut pigweed, and pick wild vegetables. Feed the pigs, feed the chickens, feed the ducks and geese. Every day from morning to night, I kept doing things, I was constantly scolded, and I was often beaten. If you can't eat enough, you can only secretly find some bird eggs and wild fruits in the mountains to fill your stomach when you are picking wild vegetables. Because he can't serve it every time he eats. The rice is only a small bowl, and if you still want itββββ she will be beaten, because she is a money loser, because she has no father, because her mother was drowned by the tribe. Although she is only 7 years old. Li Taohua can only hide in the room where her father and mother have lived quietly every day and cry secretly, crying very quietly. She misses her father and mother, but she cries but can't let people know, and she still has to go out with a smile on her face the next day. Otherwise, you will be beaten. Sometimes it's grandma, sometimes it's aunt. Grandpa and uncle never said a word.
As soon as the morning mist had melted a little, Li Peach was already full of pigweed. No eggs were found today. The trees are still blooming, and when the fruit is ripe, it will not be until autumn. Li Taohua picked up the basket with difficulty and wanted to go down the mountain. I'm going to make breakfast, and I'm going to be beaten up if I'm late.
Halfway through, there was a man standing on the side of the road who seemed to be looking at a stone. That stone has been there for years, a very ordinary stone, what is there to see.
"Are you looking at the stones. What's in there," Li Taohua asked curiously. The soft and glutinous sound is very good.
"Hmm" The man turned around and stared at Li Taohua with interest. Immediately looked at Li Taohua shyly.
The man who looks at the stone is dust. The cultivator can always vaguely sense something related to himself in the dark, and he follows his feelings, stopping here but not wanting to meet such a little girl.
At this time, Lichen looked at the little girl's shy appearance and was about to collapse. What a little bit of shame are you!
"Are you a Taoist priest?" said the little girl.
"Sure, I've seen you wear this kind of dress. When the old lady of the patriarch's family died, there were people who wore such clothes to do the law.'
"Can you take in apprentices, I can wash clothes and cook, raise chickens and ducklings, do housework, and cut pigweed. You see, I cut a lot in the morning," the little girl couldn't help but say, "I gave the dust a plug in the basket on my back."
It's embarrassing. Although he is here to accept this apprentice, can he not recommend himself so rashly.
"Can't you take me as an apprentice, I will really do a lot of things. You don't wait for me to go. I'm going to be bought to the son of Mr. Zhang's family in the county as a daughter-in-law, but his sons are dead, I heard Xiaoyun in the village say that they want to buy me to accompany the funeral, woo~~~" The little girl cried as she spoke, and stopped crying, and her tears were like the river surging down the embankment.
All of a sudden, the dust was messy in the wind. What's going on?
But a big man in the barren mountains and mountains looked at a little girl who was at most 5-6 years old crying, and called what was going on. When others see it, they will be beasts themselves!
The crying is getting bigger and bigger, and Li Taohua doesn't know what happened to her today, and the tears just stopped. It was as if all the grievances poured out at once.
"Don't cry, don't cry. I can accept apprentices, let's talk about what's going on first" Lichen obviously didn't anticipate it enough, and he hurriedly made a mess. Sure enough, as long as it is a woman, no matter how big or small, tears are innate!
"You promised to take me as an apprentice?" Li Taohua asked cautiously. Facing the other person who is still a stranger to him.
"Well, but, let's talk about your own affairs first, and ask your family to agree, the clan is not interesting. You can learn the way from the mountain with me."
"Can you eat enough every day as a Taoist priest, can you not be scolded, can you not be scolded, can you sleep as long as you want, you can..." Li Taohua agreed when she saw the dust, and her heart was settled. Xiaozui immediately began to inquire about the living conditions, living conditions, working environment, etc., etc., after becoming an apprentice.
The dust suddenly had a big head. I wonder if my feelings are wrong, don't look for the rhythm of a big apprentice. This is looking for an aunt and grandmother.
"Yes, yes", the dust can't be resisted. Hurriedly agreed. Can't let her ask any more. Otherwise, he would have been tempted to flee first.
"Oh," Li Taohua suddenly smiled. Lichen suddenly found that the little girl in front of him didn't look at the yellow-haired girl, she was dry and thin, and between her eyebrows and eyes turned out to be a beautiful embryo. No wonder they were sold for a ghost marriage. The son of the big family who is afraid of death can't find a ghost daughter-in-law who is too ugly!
"My father died early, I don't remember what he looked like, I heard that he died of illness and vomited a lot of blood. My mother was drowned alive by them. They say my mother doesn't keep women's morals. But I know that my mother was wronged. It was my aunt and uncle who framed them. My mother wants to take me back to my parents' house. They want to sell my mother and me. My mother waited for me to run out, and when I was caught by the clan, she said that my mother wanted to elope with someone. Little Peach Blossom said as she spoke, and tears came down again.
He didn't speak for a long time. Although he has no father and mother in this life, he at least has a master who really cares for him. What is ridiculous peach blossom. Friends mistreat his family and cruel and indifferent relatives.
"Don't cry, no one will bully you in the future, you can eat a full meal every day in the future, and there will be sugar gourds to eat" The two of them waved their hands and conjured a handkerchief, gently helping Xiao Peach Blossom wipe away the tears on her face.
"Well, Master, you're so nice. And how did you just get the handkerchief, can you teach me how amazing it is? β
This is a chatterbox, and he is very good at climbing up the pole, so the master called it himself, and he hasn't apprenticed yet. Dust headache.
"Yes, I can teach you later" Chen hurriedly agreed, "Now wait for me to meet your family and patriarch, you must explain when you go up the mountain and leave home"
Lichen is afraid of the big apprentice in the future, and thinking about his junior brothers and sisters in the future, it is estimated that it will be enough to bear. As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly took Xiao Taohua's hand and walked towards the village.
"I'm afraid they won't agree. They were all subject to my deposit for selling me. Can't we just go?" the little peach blossom said.
"Don't be afraid, they can't stop us, don't worry. Your master is a master," Lichen replied with confidence
"Superior? How tall? Little Peach wanted to ask but didn't, he was afraid that he had no hope, even if he knew it would be difficult. But there's always a chance to give it a try, isn't it? She told herself.
In the small village, smoke was everywhere, and it was obvious that the villagers had begun to prepare breakfast. Little Peach Blossom was led by a young Taoist priest into the village, which attracted the attention of some people, and they followed behind to see the strangeness. Little Peach Blossom was a little scared, her body trembled slightly, and the closer she got to home, the more scared she became. Apparently that home gave her friend infinite fear and sorrow.
"Where are you going to die, don't make breakfast, it's really a rotten thing, wait and see if I don't kill your little hoof" Little Peach Blossom stepped into the courtyard door with one foot, and the scolding came to her face, and Little Peach Blossom was so frightened that her face turned white and shrank behind the dust.
A middle-aged woman came out of the room, holding a broom in her hand. but he took it upside down. Apparently not to sweep the floor, but to prepare to hit someone. When he saw the dust, he was obviously stunned. Immediately screamed and shouted, "His milk is out, this little slut is really like her shameless mother, and she has brought a wild man back to run away with someone" The voice was sharp and harsh. I got rid of the dust, but I was angry. How old is the little peach blossom, as an outlet for how to shout from the aunt.
"What" There was a noise in the room. A room full of people poured out.
