"Mary, do you know that your dumb illness is not your life's creation, but—" Li Ling said this, and saw Lao Xiao running in with a live duck with a quack in one hand and a big bag in the other, sweating profusely.

"It's all together?" Li Ling greeted him and asked.

"Xiao Li, it's almost all together, but it's almost the same! Hi! Old Xiao wiped his sweat.

"What's worse?" Li Ling was stunned.

"Indica! You want a liter of indica rice, I ran all over the markets around Chinatown, and those Chinese and Southeast Asians didn't have to sell it! This is America, and you don't even have to sell it here in Chinatown, so you don't have to go anywhere else. Lao Xiao looked anxious,

"Rice, japonica rice, glutinous rice, millet, you can buy it, but there is no indica rice! The old Han Tou of the rice shop said that indica rice may be sold in San Francisco's Chinatown, but it is estimated that it cannot be bought here in New York. ”

It makes sense for Li Ling to think about it, after all, this is overseas, and the United States, which does not rely on rice as a staple food, is easy to find rice or something, but it is indeed difficult to find a niche product like indica rice.

But the problem is that in the Luban technique inherited by himself, the "Nine Dragons Bone Water" spell that uses the Divine Walk Escape System must need the indica rice, and it must not be replaced.

Indica rice is the five grains of spiritual rice that breaks evil and dispels evil in Lubanshu, just because the rice grains are slender and almost transparent, and the slender ones are the sharp blades, which confirm the axes and adzes of the carpenters of Lubanshu; And transparency, which confirms the Luban mirror, has the response to ward off evil spirits. Therefore, in Lubanshu, once the grain needs whole grains, indica rice is the first to be recommended.

Could it be that Lao Xiao should immediately take a plane, cross the continental United States, and fly to San Francisco's Chinatown on the West Coast to buy indica rice?

When he was in trouble, he saw Mary sign language to his father, and Lao Xiao patted his head and said, "Yes, the Tang family should have it!" I'll look for it at Tang's house, eh, but ......"

"What's wrong?" Li Ling was stunned again.

Lao Xiao looked worried: "The Tang family bought a piece of land in this Chinatown six years ago and built a large warehouse to store all kinds of rice and grain specially imported from China and Southeast Asia.

"But they don't sell in Chinatown, they don't sell in retail, they specialize in Chinese restaurants and restaurants in New York, the business is very big, they must have indica rice, many Chinese restaurants want to make all kinds of pastries, this is indica rice."

Li Ling nodded and said, "It makes sense, the exquisite rice cakes and pastries made by some high-end Chinese restaurants are made of indica rice." Then you hurry up and ask the Tang family, they are all Chinese, what is the problem if you want to come like this? ”

Lao Xiao spread his hands and said: "The problem is that the Tang family is very arrogant, rich and powerful, and has always looked down on us poor people, and the relationship with all the Chinese on this street is not good, I don't know if I will give me some." ”

"I just need one liter, how much is one liter? They are all compatriots, and you make it clear that you are trying to save your wife, don't they even have this sympathy? If you don't want to give it, then buy it and pay them. Li Ling was a little impatient.

"Alas! I'll go find them first. Lao Xiao said and trotted out.

Looking at the back of Lao Xiao's departure, Li Ling's heart suddenly swelled with an ominous feeling, which should be another premonition attached to the inheritance of Lu Banshu.

He always felt that Lao Xiao seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't figure out where the trouble was. The fingers of his right hand have already compared the Luban hexagram seal, ready to take a hexagram and see if Lao Xiao is going to be good or bad.

But at this time his mind was very confused, the real reason for Mary's dumbness was simply unbelievable, and with a trace of anxiety about her mother's calamity and lack of experience, at this time he could not calm down at all to carefully push the hexagram, and after ten minutes passed, he couldn't even recognize the hexagram, and finally gave up altogether.

Isn't it just a liter of rice, it can be worth a few dollars! I don't believe that Lao Xiao will see hell when he goes to buy rice!

"Hell, Lao Xiao is such an honest person, why did he go to the Tang family's yard and cry and make trouble, the Tang family is rushing him out!"

Outside the Xiao family's house, two Chinese people walked and talked, and one of them walked to the gate of the Xiao family in a few steps and shouted: "Is there anyone in the Xiao family, your old Xiao is bleeding in the courtyard of the Tang family, you should hurry up and take a look!" ”

Hearing this, Li Ling and Mary stood up at the same time, Mary looked frightened, she hurriedly went to her mother's room to report to her mother, then nodded to Li Ling, and rushed out of the house.

Li Ling also followed, and ran east along Kenny Street for three or five minutes, and then saw a vermilion lacquer bronze gate compound, a typical Chinese courtyard house.

Dozens of Chinese gathered at the gate of the courtyard, and a few whites and two or three blacks also came to watch the excitement.

Mary squeezed through the crowd of onlookers like crazy, and Li Ling followed closely, and the closer she got to the courtyard, the more clearly she heard the voices inside.

"I'm cǎo your mother's old Xiao, you're blind with a pair of dog eyes, right, today is my father's sacrifice day, our family is burning incense and worshipping, you ran over to beg for rice, you are cursing our Tang family to cut off food and rice, right?

"Fathers and fellow villagers, let's talk about it, do you have such a bad luck for people? Your ancestors are respected in your family, and someone comes to borrow rice to make trouble, it's you, what will happen to you? Don't blame me for being rude! ”

"Boss Tang, I beg you, for the sake of all neighbors, everyone is a compatriot, you can sell me two catties, I'm saving people, my wife is dying, with these two catties of indica rice, she can live, I beg you, I'll kowtow to you......"

"Listen, everyone, is this old Xiao short-circuited brain and abnormal nerves! His wife is going to die, and I think he's crazy too! Can Indica cure and save lives? You're going to talk to me about fasting, get out! We still have to worship our ancestors! ”

"I said, Boss Tang, the old Xiao family is pitiful enough, people may indeed need these two catties of indica rice, since you have it, you are reluctant to give it, just sell it to others, if you refuse to sell, you will not break people's heads!"

"Boss Tang, what's wrong with you worshipping your ancestors? If your ancestors have spirits in the sky and see that your descendants are kind and charitable, they can only be happy, how can they say that Lao Xiao is cursing you......"

"Yes, we are all from the same neighborhood, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, Boss Tang, you do this, it's too much......"

"Uhhh!!h

A strange call of a woman suddenly sounded in the courtyard, and people followed the voice, and saw a girl with a tearful face rushing over and hugging the middle-aged man who was kneeling in the courtyard with a bloody face.

"Mary, you—Why are you here? Dad is useless, he can't even get two catties of indica rice...... "Lao Xiao couldn't help but feel more sad when he saw that it was his daughter, and Mary was dumb, even if she cried, she could only howl, but the tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads.

"Woo-woo-babble!!"

Mary wiped the blood on her father's face, and looked at the row of descendants of the Tang family standing not far away, led by a middle-aged strong man in his forties with a beard, staring at Lao Xiao and her with disdain.

Mary naturally knew him, he was Boss Tang, the famous Tang Million in Chinatown, specializing in dry goods and grain business from Asia in the United States.

Mary pulled her father up, and then, with a "bang", knelt down towards Boss Tang.

In the entire Chinatown, only this Tang family has indica rice for sale, and indica rice is the mother's life-saving baby!

"Whoosh!!"

Mary was about to kowtow to Boss Tang when she suddenly realized that her body was out of her control—she actually stood up!

I saw a figure flickering in front of my eyes, and between the lightning and flint, I stood up from the original kneeling posture, and I didn't have any strength!

The crowd of onlookers had already erupted in applause.

Li Ling grabbed Mary's collar with one hand like a chicken, picked her up, stood upright, and then glanced at her who was surprised and unprovoked, and then looked at the domineering Tang family and the gang, especially the middle-aged strong man who was the leader.

"We Chinese, kneeling to the sky and kneeling to our parents, why do we kneel down to this kind of so-called compatriots who are unkind and unrighteous and do not save them when they see death!" Li Ling looked at the children of the Tang family, instantly turned to look at the crowd of onlookers, and shouted,

"We Chinese are living in a foreign country away from home, and we need everyone to unite with each other and help each other, and support each other when one side is in trouble, but let's see, is this Tang family still worthy of our descendants of Yan and Huang?

"Bullying your own people, doing evil, wolf-hearted! To be able to do such a ruthless hand to such an honest person, this is simply a shame for the scum of our Chinese and the descendants of Yan and Huang! ”

The man has a groove and doesn't vomit lightly, just because it's not time to go crazy!

Li Ling was angry, really angry, a kind boy who has practiced martial arts since he was a child and abides by Chinese morality, has never been so angry!

Your uncle, isn't it just for two catties of rice! Is this killing your father or stealing your mother, you have to bully an honest man like this!

This is your compatriot, who is just as yellow-skinned, black-haired as you, and has the blood of the Yellow Descendants in his bones!

"Where did the little bastard come out and spread wild in our place?!" I saw a twenty-three or five-year-old son of the Tang family come out, his fists clenched, and he scolded Li Ling.

Li Ling was stunned, rub! Lian Jiazi!

If you want to come to this Tang family to do business in a foreign country, you naturally need to take care of the family, so it is normal for someone in the family to practice martial arts.

"Where did the guard dog come out and bark here?!" Li Ling looked at this young man, looking at his figure, clenched fists, and steps, and estimated what kind of kung fu this person was practicing.
