Chapter 492: Brother Cheng!
Yanjing.
Lee's compound.
Crumbling walls, cluttered grass, mottled gates......
Everything looks very dilapidated, and it is best described as a ruined wall.
Li Xiaofan was worried at first that the old man would be touched when he saw the scene here, but now it seems that the old man's ability to resist pressure is not ordinarily strong.
Li Qiankun stretched out his hand, pushed open the mottled door, and walked in, as far as his eyes could see, it was a barrenness.
Everything here seems to be more dilapidated than in a desert town.
"Old man." Wang Yang walked in with someone and said slowly, "I'll take someone to clean up here first." ”
Li Qiankun smiled: "I'll clean it up later." ”
His cloudy gaze was very clear at the moment, and he walked to the steps in front of the central hall on his own, and he bent down, as if he was struggling to wipe the dust from the steps.
Then the old man blew on the dust, and then sat down on the steps.
"Xiaofan, come ......" Li Qiankun greeted him, smiling and waving his hand.
Li Xiaofan also smiled and farted in front of Li Qiankun. Strands sit down.
"This is ......," he said, pointing to a corner in front of the courtyard, "where your father stood every time he was disciplined, no, there used to be a circle drawn for your father, but now it seems that there is none." ”
"That place is where your second uncle has to read every day, and your second uncle will definitely sit here every evening and read the ancient books of the sages to the sunset."
Every time Li Qiankun pointed to a place, he would tell a story, and Li Xiaofan was also very emotional after listening to it.
It is as if you have seen those places with your own eyes, and the legendary story of the birth.
seems to have seen with his own eyes the past of his father, second uncle, uncle, these brilliant characters of that era.
Li Qiankun said as he spoke, suddenly sighed and did not speak again.
He waved his hand: "Clean it up." ”
He seems to be many years older.
The yard was cleaned by many people and was quickly cleaned.
The Li compound is actually not big, and there are only a few houses, the most of which is a courtyard, a whole open space.
Some withered trees tell bleak stories, Li Xiaofan was a little sad when he saw it, and directly shook off the withered trees, and then ordered people to put seeds and saplings on them.
Night falls.
Everyone cleaned up a few rooms, Li Qiankun was an old man after all, he was a little tired after a few days of traveling, and went to bed early.
Li Xiaofan couldn't sleep, leaning on the threshold of the middle hall, looking at the stars in the sky.
"Yo? What about thinking about life? Cliff walked over with a smile and asked.
Li Xiaofan said faintly: "Think about it again, you, the young palace master of the Dragon Palace, do you have nothing to do all day long, the Great Snow Mountain competition has already come to an end, but you haven't returned to the Dragon Palace?" ”
"What? I was fascinated by the colorful world outside, and suddenly found that the Dragon Palace was boring, so I didn't want to go back? ”
The cliff glared at Li Xiaofan: "Fart! Where is the Dragon Palace outside? Cut! ”
Li Xiaofan smiled, and didn't argue with him, in his feelings, there was definitely something to hide from this cliff, and he didn't dare to go back to the Dragon Palace, or postpone going back.
Cliff sighed: "Hey, in fact, I know that you must be a little uncomfortable in your heart." ”
"After all, the Li family has become like this, although the old man has taken it back, but he is still a little unhappy to see his family like this."
Li Xiaofan smiled: "Yo? When will you still be able to interpret people's hearts? ”
"Haha, Young Master Ben is very smart, he has always been like this, haven't you noticed?"
Li Xiaofan glanced at him, then smiled and said, "There is one thing that you haven't explained to me. ”
Cliff was stunned: "Eh, what's the matter?" ”
"The two hundred private troops you brought that day, one of them seems to be under the banner of the Lu family, what is your connection with the Lu family in Tang City?"
"Yo, this is all seen by you, my East China Sea Dragon Palace is one of the ten major sects of the Dragon Palace, and naturally it has some reputation all over the country, the Lu family in Tangcheng has something to do with my Dragon Palace, and the Lu family received a little favor from the Dragon Palace before."
"Now that I come forward, Lu Zhengxuan of the Lu family will still give me some face, and it is not a problem to borrow a hundred private troops."
Cliff patted his chest and said, seemingly very proud.
Li Xiaofan looked at him deeply, and after making sure that he was not lying, he was a little strange.
What about Ye Wanqing?
What role did she play in it?
Why did Lu Zhengxuan of the Lu family whisper to Ye Wanqing?
Since the cliff can borrow the private army from the Lu family with the relationship of the Dragon Palace, what kind of excitement does Ye Wanqing go to join?
Intuition told Li Xiaofan that Ye Wanqing was not telling the truth.
But he couldn't guess what Ye Wanqing was doing for a while, so he didn't think about it.
"Anyway, thank you."
Li Xiaofan said with a smile.
The cliff was stunned: "I'll go, I'm not used to being so serious." ”
Li Xiaofan: "......"
"Haha, I'm kidding you, Qishao."
The cliff patted Li Xiaofan on the shoulder: "It's really my honor to be able to fight side by side with you, a top master." ”
"Oh? yes, I don't mind talking to you. Li Xiaofan smiled faintly.
"Uh, ahem...... Well, forget it. ”
Cliff scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said, "By the way, if it's okay, I'll leave tomorrow." ”
"Well, let's go, don't send it."
"Damn!" Cliff said disdainfully, "You just have this attitude? ”
"So what else can I do? Find an eight-lift sedan chair to send you back? ”
The cliff waved his hand: "Haha, that's not necessary, but it's ......"
He paused and said deeply: "Qishao, during this time, I am very happy to fight side by side with you!" I will be very happy to have the opportunity to visit the Dragon Palace in the future. ”
Li Xiaofan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "Go, go, you are still being said in this disgusting word." ”
"Your sister!!" Cliff clenched fists!
……………………
Early the next morning, the cliff said goodbye to Li Qiankun and went back with a few entourages.
And Li Qiankun was very energetic and dragged Li Xiaofan to the city to choose furniture.
After all, I haven't come back for more than 20 years, and some basic daily necessities still have to be prepared.
In the old city, these things will still be there.
The old man dragged Li Xiaofan to the street, and there was a bustling crowd on the street, and Li Xiaofan was squeezed by the onlookers and couldn't get in.
Fortunately, Wang Yang and the others are also protecting the old man, otherwise they would really be a little unbearable.
In just three days, the Li compound was completely renewed, and if someone lived in it, it would naturally be popular.
A mansion doesn't look scary like a dead house.
The residents of the old city are simple and kind, and people often come to deliver things, and it didn't take long for Li Xiaofan to think that their family could open a furniture and household appliances.
At noon that day, a stocky man came to the door of the Li compound with some iron tools on his back, he held some pots and pans in his hands, all of them were made of iron, and he stood here and did not go in for a long time.
Li Xiaofan has seen too many such scenes in the past few days, so he is ready to wait for this man to finish sighing before inviting him in.
But this stocky man never went in, he silently looked at the two big characters "Li" in front of the door, and his eyes showed a strong memory.
Li Xiaofan waited for a long time, but this stocky man never came in.
Li Xiaofan was a little impatient and walked out directly.
"Uncle, aren't you coming in?"
The stocky man glanced at Li Xiaofan, was slightly stunned, and then put a snakeskin bag behind him on the ground with a "clang".
The bag was heavy and contained a lot of stuff in it.
But Li Xiaofan's eyes were a little dignified, this middle-aged and stocky man, carrying such heavy things on his back, walked with the wind, and did not have any sense of difficulty.
If it's not strong, it's its own spiritual power.
This is a martial artist.
Li Xiaofan looked at this person faintly.
"Uncle, are you here ......," he asked.
But the stocky man did not speak, and he slowly took an axe, then a sickle, and then a hoe from the snakeskin bag......
It's all made of fine iron!
The stocky man pushed these things in front of Li Xiaofan, and said seriously: "Here you go!" ”
Li Xiaofan couldn't cry or laugh, and picked up an ax casually, but he was stunned!
Kindness!?
It's heavy!
It's heavy!
Li Xiaofan took it casually, but he couldn't pick it up?
You must know that these things are common iron tools for household use, even if they are heavy, with Li Xiaofan's martial arts cultivation, it should be very easy to pick up.
Even if the lion doesn't pick it up easily.
But now, Li Xiaofan actually felt struggling.
He frowned slightly, and with a slight effort, he picked it up completely, but he still felt some soreness in his wrists and arms.
"It's so heavy."
The man was even more surprised, as if he was very shocked that the young man had picked up the iron tool he had made himself.
He knew very well how difficult it was for outsiders to make iron tools from themselves.
In particular, the more advanced the martial arts, the more difficult it will be to take their own things.
But this young man picked it up directly, and although he failed the first time, he completely picked it up the second time.
It's kind of interesting.
Suddenly, the man smiled, revealing some yellowed teeth.
He took out two iron kitchen knives, a hammer, and even an unopened machete from the snakeskin bag.
"No."
Suddenly, the man's meaning was obvious, and let him continue to take it.
Li Xiaofan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Uncle, you gave these to us?" ”
"Yes." Suddenly, the man nodded.
"Then I, Li Xiaofan, thank you first."
Li Xiaofan smiled, and when he was about to reach out to get the iron tool, the stocky man was suddenly stunned, and then grabbed Li Xiaofan's arm excitedly!!
"You! You! ”
He looked at Li Xiaofan with a very excited expression, speechless.
"Uncle, what are you ......" Li Xiaofan was also a little confused.
At this time, Wang Yang walked out and saw the stocky man, he "poofed" and knelt on the ground!
"Cheng, Brother Cheng!!"
