Chapter 30: Backing
"Third Senior Brother, don't worry, leave this matter to me, I assure you that the pine cone and the maple strip will return home with a lot of hair." Li Ling comforted Qin Shaonan again.
Qin Shaonan glanced at Li Ling meaningfully, nodded for a long time and said, "Okay, but you have to remember what the third senior brother said to you in Chen Siye's new house, and now, the third senior brother still has a few words to say to you."
"Although the vast majority of people are acting alone, he has no one to help him and has no choice. Throughout the ages, the great carpenter who was a lone wolf did not end well!
"This is also the reason why your third senior brother and I have been in the United States for half a century, and I have never been in front of people, because there is no one around me to help.
"Now, since you have also stepped into this threshold, you have to remember that there is still your third senior brother here, even if your set of doorways is higher than mine and I am more spiritual, but if you walk the world alone, you will always walk into a dead end, Xiao Ling, remember that there is still an old guy like me behind you!"
A warmth swelled in Li Ling's heart, and he nodded heavily, how could he not understand the words of the third senior brother?
Lubanshu carpenter has been fighting with the sky and people all his life, and the curse and calamity are continuous, preventing the catastrophe of the sky, preventing the opponent and defending everyone, like a thief, he even has to open one eye when he sleeps.
In the old days, a Lubanshu carpenter single-handedly broke into the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't figure out which day he was put on a piece and lost his life.
And if there are teammates and helpers around him, the chances of a Lubanshu carpenter surviving for a long time can be greatly increased, which is not only to fight with people, but also to fight with the sky, because there are many signs of heavenly calamity, and those who are trapped in the game cannot see it themselves, but others can see it through their faces.
Li Ling never thought that the Luban technique he inherited would allow him to dominate the world and smile proudly, not to mention, he was still a newcomer who had not grown all his hair, and his vision and experience were very shallow. Therefore, when he heard the third senior brother say this, he was very excited.
The third senior brother can say this, which means that he recognizes that he is also the heir of the ancestor master, and he wants to join forces with himself to deal with those forces who dare to break ground on their own heads.
"I always have some bad feelings these days, and I always have some strange dreams...... Qin Shaonan looked at the sky outside the workshop, his eyes fluttering, "I have a feeling that your uncle, my master, and his old man's enemies seem to have been ghostly and have come to the United States."
"Xiao Ling, now that you have also stepped into this industry, some of the past, grievances and enemies of your Li family ancestors and the Ma family, I will find a time to talk to you, I want to think about it, I still have to let you know these things, alas! The third senior brother can't accept the old man! ”
Li Ling nodded, some of the past of his ancestors and the Ma family, he only vaguely heard his mother and the third senior brother mention it, of course, it was a filtered green version - removing any clues about Lu Banshu.
And now, he has learned that his ancestors are a thousand-year-old Lubanshu carpenter family, and the Ma family is completely inherited from the Li family's craftsmanship and techniques, so that the new version is richer and more mysterious, and it must be talked about in detail by the third senior brother.
Especially about the cause of death and the enemy of the senior uncle Ma Luzong, including the past of the senior brother, the second senior brother and the fourth senior brother, etc., the old mother and the third senior brother have never told themselves. And now, it's time for the third senior brother to break through this layer of fog to himself.
"You go find Sakura first, this girl is also an unconscious person." Qin Shaonan patted Li Ling's shoulder, "Xiao Ling, the third senior brother only has such a daughter, she is very simple, you grew up together, the third senior brother is old, in the future, Sakura will have to take care of you——"
Speaking of this, he looked at Tongzi and continued: "The eldest of these three senior brothers is honest like a piece of wood, he only knows how to chop wood and practice, and he doesn't worry about anything.
"Second, this baby's foundation is really good, but sometimes, I can't see through him! I feel that this baby always has a lot of thoughts that he refuses to say, and I don't know what he's thinking, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep him in the future!
"This old Santong monkey, look at him, he is nineteen years old, what kind of words! The carpentry skill is half a tank of water, and the practice is far worse than his two senior brothers, and now he wants to go to community college! What can you expect from a small monkey who doesn't grow up!
"Xiao Ling, the third senior brother will be seventy soon, and she only had such a girl at the age of fifty, her brain is very simple, and her mother left early, if one day I-"
"Third Senior Brother, what are you talking about!" Li Ling's eyes were hot, and he didn't know why he said these words today, "Although Brother Ying is a generation younger than me, I have treated her as my own sister since I was a child, her business is my business, we are a family, and we will never leave!" Third Senior Brother, your body is very strong, Xiao Ling is not allowed to say these words again! ”
"Good, good, good......" Qin Shaonan patted Li Ling again, "You go to her, this girl only listens to you, and is willing to dissect you." At this point, his face was already exhausted.
The uneasiness in Li Ling's heart was even heavier, and the third senior brother would always show this somewhat helpless expression during this time, as if he was in a desperate situation of powerlessness and despair.
But for a large Chinese family, in this country where the white-skinned race is the master, don't they also survive tenaciously and live better than many white people?
Since his great-grandfather came to the United States and opened up a new home in this foreign land, the Li family has lived in the United States for nearly 130 years.
American Chinese exclusion, the Great Depression, the Cold War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, ...... Those Sino-US relations were at a low point, and the lives of Chinese people in the United States were also greatly impacted and affected, but didn't the Li family and the third senior brother's family also survive?
Li Ling looked at the third senior brother, didn't say anything, nodded and said, "Then I'll go see Brother Ying first, you guys are busy first, my mother is looking for someone now, and she should be looking for a lawyer." ”
After that, he walked out of the workshop, and after a few steps, Tongzi followed, and shouted in a low voice: "Xiaoling, wait!" ”
Li Ling turned around and said, "Don't count on Lu Banshu's affairs, I don't have the ability to teach you, and you can't touch it-"
"Slow down on this!" Kiriko hurriedly said, "I saw Sister Sakura rummaging, jumping and scolding in the maple and pine cones desks after she came back, Xiao Ling, I guess she found out about it!" Uncle Xiaoshi, you promised me that you would be a good person to the end and send the Buddha to the West! ”
Li Ling glared at him and said, "Well, now I have to think about it!" You hid it from me before, didn't you know "Lu Ban Shu" and Lu Banshu, haven't you heard of it? Stinky boy, Uncle Xiao has been deceived by you for more than five years! ”
"Hehe, isn't that what the master explained? No matter how much I do, I dare not go against his old man's will! Kiriko scratched her head and smiled,
"Besides, aren't you also hiding it from me, you met a master who passed on a set of ways that even our master admires, and you have never mentioned this to me, little uncle, let's settle it!"
Li Ling thought about it, and Kiriko's words also made him feel a little.
If he had told himself early that the third senior brother was actually a master of Lubanshu, would he still be so diligent in looking for ancient carpenter books such as "Luban Book", and then sneak into the Luban Temple on Leweigang?
Li Ling still can't be sure how he got the "Book of Luban" in his head, but that night he was hit by the statue of the ancestor in the Luban Temple in Leweigang, and after returning home that night, he suddenly met a strange fate...... Between the two, if there is no connection at all, he always feels unlikely.
It seems that in the dark, I should also thank Tongzi for helping him hide the secret of the Third Senior Brotherhood Lu Banshu!
Thinking about it like this, this matter suddenly became clear, Li Ling's mood was clear, and he said immediately: "I'll help you take care of that matter, it's just that you are not allowed to hide anything from me in the future, remember!" With that, he stretched out his hand and patted him.
Seeing Li Ling slapping it with one hand, Tongzi also reached out to block it disapprovingly, only to hear a "snap", the two hands touched, Tongzi "ouch", "whoosh" jumped out of a meter away, stared at Li Ling with wide eyes, and shouted: "You have this strength...... Hey? Something is wrong! Did the master open a small stove for you behind our back?! ”
Li Ling was stunned for a moment, looking at his own hands, and now he pats and pushes people at will, the true qi in the dantian will follow the meridians and trace the veins, and infuse the strength, ordinary people really can't stand a pat with their hands.
If it weren't for the Tongzi who practiced the family, ordinary people would be broken by their own casual slaps!
Now, he is a practitioner in the middle of Ming Jin, and the true qi in his body is blended with Lu Ban Fa Qi, which is far more rich and pure than the internal qi condensed by refining and refining qi, and it is estimated that the person who practices martial arts at the peak of Ming Jin is not as good as himself, not to mention Tongzi who has just stepped into Ming Jin!
"Well, after I was in a coma for two days and two nights, the chicken soup that the third senior brother boiled with five hundred years of wild ginseng is really too replenishing, our internal qi has improved a lot, and the little uncle can knock you down with only three moves now, and don't mess with me in the future!" Li Ling said that he made a heroic pose with a shake of his robe, and walked towards the Lihua office building with his hands behind his back.
"No, this kid can now know Lu Banshu again, this skill, I don't feel inferior to Feng Tiao...... I'm rubbing, stinky boy, what shit luck did you go? Kiriko looked at the little uncle who was surging up, and he was a little messy in the wind.
Li Ling walked into a two-story building not far from the carpentry workshop, but saw Qin Ying sitting in the office on the ground floor, blowing an electric fan angrily, and the electric fan gear was put up to the maximum by her.
It took nearly 50 years old to have such a baby daughter, and this "Lihua tigress" was almost held in the palm of Qin Shaonan's hand every day. It's just that the carpenter's skills are not passed on to women, so Qin Ying became the receptionist, cook, financial accountant, cashier, and general logistics of the Lihua Wood Factory.
This is a very simple, but sometimes grumpy woman like a fierce horse, in her body, there is no shadow of her father's uprightness and simplicity, when she is mad, no one listens to anything, except for Li Ling.
This Chinese girl, who often eats duck eggs in exams when she was studying in a community Chinese school, but prefers to dance with guns and sticks, has admired people who are literate and capable since she was a child.
"Uncle Junior!" As soon as Li Ling walked into the room, Qin Ying shouted, his voice full of grievances.
Of Li Ling's four teachers and nephews, only this girl, who was two years older than him, carried forward the fine tradition of respecting teachers and elders and being humble and courteous to the descendants of Yan and Huang, and insisted on calling him "Uncle Shi".
