146. Friend or foe? (2-in-1)
146.
Ye Li nodded sadly, and his voice was choked, "I remember, I am the bloodline of the Luo family, I want to pass on the blood of the Luo family, and I am not allowed to think about revenge if I don't have enough ability......"
Ye Li's tears fell on the placket of his chest one by one, and his mouth mechanically repeated the words that his mother had instructed when he left.
He already felt that he was numb, but every time he thought about it, he couldn't help but cry.
The mother and son each wiped their tears, and then comforted each other, Ye Li remembered the money from selling rabbits.
"Mother, this is a rabbit given by my aunt, I said that I sold the money and kept it for our pocket use, you wait for tomorrow to give your aunt as food, you embroider less flowers yourself, don't burn your eyes, I am still waiting to honor you in the future."
Looking at the broken silver that his son took out, An Tao couldn't control his feelings, compared with his relatives, the Chen Dahu family can be regarded as their life-saving benefactors, and the people before and after can spend a lot of silver on them.
If this is according to the previous Luo family when there was no accident, she may still think that the family was intentionally going to post it, but now what do they have, there is no room and no land, it is a relationship between Pingshui and water, and people are still so heart-wrenching to them, it is estimated that she can empty out other people's family funds when she is sick this time, and even the children are still eating at other people's homes, I am afraid that this kind of friendship will not be able to pay off in the next life.
So she didn't want to say thank you, so she accepted the silver and gave Ye Li some copper coins in her hand, "Take this, buy some snacks for Bao'er and Pan'er, let's not eat other people's food all the time, and when you are really capable when you are older, you will repay this favor." β
After eating, Ye Li stayed by An Tao's side, it was still a little short of the agreed time, and he had to wait for everyone in the family to sleep before he could go out.
Ye Antao didn't eat much for dinner, she was worried, she was afraid that the child would never come back. Ye Li didn't eat much, he ate a lot at Chen's house at noon, and there was a lot of oil and water, fish and meat. He doesn't grab food from this family, and he doesn't force anything if he can have a full stomach.
I took two sweet potatoes and kept them for the night when the nurse was hungry and delicious, "Mother, you can eat some, this is grown by Yue'er." I heard that it's much bigger than other people's houses, and it's very sweet, otherwise my aunt wouldn't have let me take this back. β
While talking, he peeled one for An Tao, looking at his son's intimate appearance, Ye Antao also peeled one for Ye Li.
"You eat too, if it's really an enemy, you can have more strength when you're full, remember to run if you can't fight......"
If you don't feel at ease, you can't worry about it, but An Tao knows that she can't stop the child's determination to go out, and the family is gone. Isn't she looking forward to a relative coming over, so after her son left, she could only kneel in front of the Buddha statue and pray for this hard-working child.
The night was dark and the wind was high, Ye Li was wearing a tight cotton jacket and a big cotton hat, and he was still carrying his two guns on his back, if he didn't know, he thought he was a country boy, and he couldn't get in touch with his previous identity at all.
As I was walking, snow began to fall in the sky, and the snow flakes were so large that I couldn't see the road ahead for a while.
The agreed spot is in the grove at the back. It can't be compared with the old forest in Peach Blossom Village, but it's also a forest, at least there is something to avoid.
Ye Li arrived there with complicated feelings, but he was a little dumbfounded when he saw a person standing in the woods with a black face and a masked face. Who is this, why do you come alone, friend or foe?
Then he took off the two guns on his back tightly, and his eyes were shining.
The man on the other side didn't open his mouth when he saw Ye Li's series of movements, just watched, and then nodded incessantly. Then a deep voice sounded, "It's not bad, I know that I am on guard, don't worry, I'm not your enemy-"
Ye Li stared at the other party and looked at it carefully, he didn't feel the killing intent released by the other party, and there seemed to be no other sound around him except for the sound of birds.
stared at each other vigilantly, "Who are you, how did you know that I was in this place, and how did you find it?" The masked man's magnetic voice sounded again, "Hehe, boy, yes, there is still some vigilance, alas, I told you that I was also entrusted to teach you kung fu, boy, you have to give me a good study in the future, don't embarrass me-"
Ye Li glanced at him suspiciously.
"May you ask who asked you to come?"
The man still sighed, "Your name is Ye Li now, then I won't call you by your real name for the time being, you don't need to know who I am, you just need to know how your family died, remember, you have to study hard for me, if you don't learn well, then I'm really sorry for your dead father." In the future, whether your name can be publicly mentioned depends on yourself.
Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, come, let me see what you're capable of-"
The man really didn't talk nonsense with Ye Li, he shot directly when he came up, Ye Li didn't know what the other party was, and he didn't dare to be careless, but as soon as the two of them fought, he knew that he was not someone's opponent, and it was obvious that the other party was really testing his strength.
"Okay, it's not easy for you to practice like this, okay, let's officially start ...... tonight"
Ye Li was trained like a dead dog and slowly moved his steps before going back, and he had no strength at all, as if only his brain could think.
Ye Antao looked at the heavy snow outside and waited at the door, as if she was afraid that she had missed something.
Seeing his son coming back from climbing the wall, and then looking at the clothes on the child's body that were almost no longer visible, Ye Antao pushed open the door and rushed out, helping Ye Li who fell to the ground, "What's wrong with you, let people beat you or run back?" β
Ye Li smiled bitterly, and said weakly, "Mother, I'm almost tired, I'll tell you ...... when I go back to the house."
Ye Antao hurriedly got the water for Ye Li to scrub and scrub, and now the living conditions do not allow children to take a bath in winter, if you want to wash, you have to find a good weather, the water in the house is boiled, and now you can only rub it reluctantly.
"Come, drink some water, and talk to my mother about whether the person looking for you is an enemy or a friend?"
Ye Li sighed, "Maybe it's a friend, he didn't say who it was, I can't see it, it's ...... with his face covered."
He muttered to the nurse what he knew, "Mother, I don't think the other party seems to be at least an enemy now, haven't you seen that I was trained like this by him?"
Presumably he was doing it for my own good, but I guess my dad's friend might not want to come forward. Just find someone to come and teach me, after all, I haven't practiced for several years, and I definitely can't reach a certain level of Cheng dΓΉ on my own, alas. But I really want to thank the other party, he also solved my urgent need. β
Knowing that she was not an enemy, Ye Antao's heart finally let go, she had planned to take the child and escape again.
"I'm going to go out every day from now on, mother. You just know what to do, and don't tell anyone else. β
Ye Li originally wanted to go back to the house to rest, but just as Chen Yuzhi got married today, "By the way, today I also caught up with Uncle Chen's little sister to marry into the town, mother, do you know who she married?" β
Ye Antao shook his head, "I've been at home all day, where can I go to know, tell me quickly, what's going on?" β
Ye Antao also knew that this kid would not mention this for no reason. "Mother, aunt, the little widow who sells cotton on the street and the man they usually talk about seems to be the one Uncle Chen and his sister are going to marry, I didn't know before, but I only saw me today, so that's it-"
Ye Antao had also heard of this, "Alas, how can this be, why didn't their family inquire about it properly, this person's family background is good, but this character is really impossible for people to say." Forget it, don't talk about it, it's already like this, I heard that the little widow has moved to the county seat. It is estimated that the two of them will not have a chance to meet in the future, and it may be better to marry a daughter-in-law? β
Ye Li sneered, "It's like him, it's not good, but I heard that Uncle Chen's sister is not strong there, and Yue'er used to bully a few of them when they were young, so the two of them are half a catty to eight taels." It's up to whoever can hold whom. β
Yue'er and Bai Baoning rushed back all the way, but it was still dark in the end, so they could only stay in the county for a while, and it happened that when she came back this time, she brought some gifts to Ling Baichuan, so she took this opportunity to take her uncle over to visit.
But today I don't know if it's a coincidence or Chen Dahai's bad luck, when Yue'er and Bai Baoning drove by on the road, they saw their uncle walking out of a cotton shop, and looking at the appearance of the little lady who gave it away, Yue'er felt a little abnormal.
"Hey, isn't that your uncle?"
Bai Baoning wore a lot, and the carriage was fast, and the people were also fleeting, but Yue'er looked back in the car and looked at it carefully, and always felt that the woman did not look serious.
"It's all this time, why did your uncle come to this place, all the shops are closed?"
Yue'er sneered in the car, "What kind of good thing do you think he is, wait, whether it's a person or a ghost can be seen sooner or later, but we really can't care about him like this, let's go, let's just don't see it." β
Bai Baoning hesitated a little, and asked while driving the carriage, "Girl, when did your uncle do this, why did people change when they arrived in the county seat?" β
Yue'er sat leisurely in the car, looking at the gift given by the old man in his hand and said, "Uncle, I have never cared about who he is, whether it changes or not will not make waves in my life, so let's live our life with peace of mind, Chen Dahai has a characteristic, that is, he does not suffer, you can rest assured, even if he has silver, he will not spend it on this girl." β
Early the next morning, the nephew and uncle went out for a walk first, and most of the things were bought, and the two of them didn't have a chance to come over before the New Year, so they might as well take this opportunity to buy them.
The nephews and uncles are not short of silver now, so they will take a leisurely stroll around this shopping, and when they see the agreeable Yue'er, they will pull Bai Baoning over to take a look and then buy it.
After walking, I arrived at the shop opened by Chen Dahai, where Chen Dazhuang was beckoning people to buy tofu and rouge gouache.
Yue'er pulled Bai Baoning away a little farther, she didn't want to see this cousin, "Girl, look, the tofu he sells is produced by us, hehe, turn around, I didn't expect it to come to our side." β
Yue'er smiled and shook her head, "It's not bad to have one more person to help us sell tofu, forget it, don't look at it, hurry up and buy something, let's go home." β
But just as he was about to turn around, he saw that his uncle had also entered the shop, Yue'er sneered, "Look at it, this family is not at ease with each other, my uncle, don't look at a person who reads, but there is no sourness of a scholar at all, he has a lot of eyes, it is estimated that he is staring at how much silver the shop can sell, right?" What kind of day is today, anyone can see it, alas......"
Bai Baoning shook his head funny, "Why are you still sighing, let's go, if you don't want to see it, we won't watch it." β
Seeing that everything is almost ready, Yue'er doesn't want to stay longer, but she is so homesick that she can't wait to fly back.
But when she entered the village, Yue'er found a difference, the original wasteland, she hadn't changed when she left, why did she come back and put it in the pen, and there were already a lot of horses and cattle in it.
"What's going on, how long have I been gone, why did this place become like this?"
Bai Baoning was also puzzled, "How can this place raise horses and cows, what's the matter, if it is resold, this place is not suitable?" β
His unintentional words made Yue'er fall into deep thought, but before he could figure out what was going on, he was recognized by the people of Tunzi, although Yue'er was sitting in the carriage, but some people in Bai Baoning still knew him, Chen Dahu's brother-in-law, who used to come over often.
Bai Baoning hurried to his sister's house while greeting everyone, the villagers were so enthusiastic that he couldn't resist it.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Bai Xiumei sitting on the kang making a padded jacket, and Yue'er shouted excitedly, "Mother-"
Bai Xiumei subconsciously responded, and when she looked up and saw Yue'er and her eldest brother, she almost thought that her eyes were spent, rubbed her eyes, and looked up again, this time she finally confirmed that her eyes were not spent, and the eldest daughter was really standing in front of her.
Kneeling and running a few steps up, he hugged the girl standing in front of the kang in his arms, and his voice was full of surprise, and he was choked up.
"You girl, why didn't you hear from me at all, you're scared to death......"
Bai Baoning smiled apologetically on the side, "Sister, it's not that we don't want to come back, it's that there are too many things, we really can't be free, and besides, that place is too far away from home, and it takes time to go back and forth, so the two of us won't come back until the end of the year, and I can bring you back your daughter intact." β
Bai Xiumei let go of Yue'er in her arms and looked up and down, "I'm thin again, didn't your uncle give you food, and the little bit of meat that grew so easily is gone?" (To be continued.) )
