When Li Dalong got up, he found that the snow had not stopped after falling all night. According to the usual practice, on a snowy day, there will be no students from the Li family's private school.

After breakfast, Li Dalong was still angry, because he had been thinking about things with his sister-in-law Wu Pandi last night, and he had insomnia.

This year, the winter in Haixi came early and fiercely, and the weather was unusually cold.

Although his brother Li Feihu's house is at the west end of the street, only two miles away, Li Dalong is worried that because the weather is too cold and icy and snowy, Li Feihu will not go out to do business, so he has not been there for more than two months.

"Look at the way you look so angry, go to sleep again when you're sleepy! Li Liu, who was pregnant, said.

Li Dalong lay back in the bed and slew, and soon fell asleep: on a dark and windy night, Li Dalong carried a lantern and walked on the wilderness road.

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thundered in the air. Li Dalong looked up and saw the figure of a Qing official appear.

"Lord Zhongtang, uncle......" Li Dalong shouted over and over again, but he didn't get any response.

Slowly, the figure quickly split into three strands, as if changing between the shape of a man and a dog.

After a while, a dog took shape, landed on the ground, and then galloped north.

Immediately after, two more dogs hit the ground and then bit each other.

After a while, one of the defeated dogs fled, and the other dog followed in hot pursuit.

Li Dalong, who was surprised, suddenly found a couplet floating down from the air - the devil of Haixi County was in the lower realm, and the noble family dog was born.

He was about to pick up the couplet that had fallen to the ground, but was woken up by the shouting of Li Liu's son to teach him.

In a dream like this, Li Dalong remembers at least three times, and the last time he saw it seemed to be Hai Xihou. It's just that the image of the official is blurred every time it appears, and the official uniform is not the same.

And this time, the image of the person in the dream is clear, and it is clearly Li Zhangtong, the master of Zhongtang that Li Dalong saw eight years ago.

Unlike in the past, this dream also has more couplets, and I can still remember the content of the couplets clearly.

What is the meaning of the title of this couplet, and what kind of events will it portend?

Shanglian seems to say that there will be a demon in the sky who will go to the Hercynian land, but is this demon a god or a devil?

The 'noble family' should be our family, because we are close relatives of Lord Zhongtang, and I also went to the capital to meet his old man.

'Birth of a dog' should mean that my daughter-in-law's little mustache is a boy, will it be the same as 'devil' refers to this little mustache?

If that's the case, it means that my second son will be very stubborn, difficult to educate, and will become a demon when he grows up.

The devil is the devil! Anyway, he's more angry than my stupid eldest son. At least the Adversary won't be bullied......"

In this way, Li Dalong pondered over and over again, and then naturally thought of the Li family genealogy in Hercynian Land.

This genealogy was revised by the ancestors of the Li family during the Ming Dynasty. There is a long "Preface" on the first page, which records the glorious history of the Li family - from Gaotao, the leader of the Dongyi tribe, to Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica".

The preface is written in a vernacular language, but most of the people are illiterate or semi-literate and still cannot read it. Therefore, when encountering red and white weddings and funerals, most of the clansmen will come to the Li family's private school for advice.

In order to understand the dream, Li Dalong opened the genealogy that he was familiar with and carefully reread the prologue, hoping to get inspiration from it.

"Emperor Shun ordered Gaotao to be the criminal officer Dali. Gao Tao is to take the official name of the character for the clan surname, self-name Lizheng.

Later, he was falsely accused and convicted, and fled the imperial capital incognito, and survived by feeding on wood on the way to refuge.

Because of the grace of Muzi's life, the two characters of Muzi were merged into Li, the agent was the surname, and the plum tree was used as the totem.

Since then, the descendants of the Li family often plant plum trees next to the house to inherit the spirit of our people, which is an eternal custom. ”

"It's freezing and snowy, why did you think about planting trees?" Li Liu walked in and asked with a smile.

"It's not about planting trees, it's about looking at the family tree! Look at what big officials our Li family has had. Li Dalong replied with a smile.

"My lord, these days, 'Haixi Hou' and 'Zhongtang Lord' don't leave his mouth! Do you want to be an official?" asked Li Liu.

"It's not that I want to be an official, it's to see if the little beard in your belly has the luck to be an official. Li Dalong replied.

"Hahaha......" Li Liu laughed and said, "You are not a fortune teller, what's the use of just looking at the family tree? I think, you might as well go and ask someone to take care of the great immortals!"

"I don't believe the nonsense of those charlatans! He has only read a few books? Especially listening to his nonsense, it is better for me to ponder it myself. Li Dalong said disappreciatively.

"Okay then," Li Liu got up and said, "I'm going to get lunch, and it won't affect your thinking." ”

"Let Mother Mu get it!" Li Dalong said, "You are pregnant, there is ice and snow in the yard, you should be careful when walking!"

"How can I let my mother-in-law cook!" Li Liu said, "Besides, it is only when you move more to give birth to a small mustache!"
