Chapter 23 Accumulate virtue and do good
Li Dalong ran to Li Feihu's house quickly, but there was no one, so he went straight to the mass grave in the east of the village.
The mass graves were empty and lonely, and dozens of uneven graves were lost in the dead branches and grass. A few crows screamed in the cold wind, which was terrifying.
The anxious Li Dalong looked around as he ran.
A wild dog leaped past him, a hungry glint in his eyes.
Li Dalong searched almost the entire mass grave, but found no trace of Li Feihu.
The coldness and terror were like poisonous snakes, tightly wrapped around Li Dalong. It made his heart heavier, his legs and feet weaker, and his stomach rumbling with hunger.
The noon sun fell on the trees, forming a speckled circle of light on the ground, and Li Dalong, who was tired and hungry, sat on the ground. He was a little desperate and stared blankly at the sky.
At this moment, a black cloud floated in the sky, and there was a baby's smiling face in the cloud, which attracted Li Dalong's eyeballs, and his gray heart immediately brightened: "That cute little face in the cloud is the same as my Deganger." ”
Li Dalong stood up and staggered after the black cloud.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear a baby's cry, a small but crisp sound.
Li Dalong's eyes widened suddenly, and he searched around, and finally saw an infant in the grass not far away.
He ran over in ecstasy, picked up the baby, unbuttoned his belt and cotton robe, and pressed the baby to his warm belly and tied it with the belt.
The black cloud in the clear sky slowly wriggled overhead, slowly splitting into two pieces, and then turning into a black dog again.
Li Dalong knelt on the ground and looked at the sky, and a line of tears welled up. He hugged the baby in his arms with his arms, his hands together, and the words in his mouth.
Suddenly, Li Dalong heard the barking of dogs.
A black dog floated down from the sky, landed in front of him, and said, "Great, help me kill that vicious dog!"
Li Dalong looked up, only to see another black dog fall down and chase after him, and shouted in his mouth: "Great, help me kill that vicious dog!"
"Wow......" The baby's cry woke up Li Dalong, who was napping.
Li Dalong hurriedly rubbed his eyes, dragged his tired body and carried the baby back to Wu Pannan's side.
......
Mama Xue won the two copper plates of Wu Panmen's award, and returned to Li Feihu's home with the mission of persuading Li Feihu.
After Li Feihu scolded a few words angrily, Mama Xue explained: "Master, you misunderstood, Mrs. said 'Da Long's daughter-in-law', not 'Da Long'.
The two of them often chatted together, and the two of them had the same dream, saying that their little wat was the reincarnation of Zhongtang. ”
"I've heard her talk about dreaming, too. But what can this be?" asked Li Feihu puzzled.
"This is a big deal!" Xue Mazi pretended to be very excited and said, "Congratulations to the Li family for being a big official again! The eldest master and the second master will have a good life in the future!"
"Really?" asked Li Feihu with wide eyes.
"Can this be fake?" said Mama Xue, "Mrs. said that the fourth son of the eldest master and the second son of the second master look exactly the same." If it weren't for the reincarnation of Zhongtang, how could it be like this? Didn't the eldest master see the second son of the second master?"
"Then ......," Li Feihu asked, "who do these two little mustaches look like?"
"The two mustaches are neither like your brothers, nor like the old lady. Everyone said that it must be the same as Nakado-sama!
Also, Mrs. said that the person who gave her the dream gave her the name of the fourth son, called Li Dexi. Xue Mazi said with a clear eye and was very sure.
Hearing what Mama Xue said, Li Feihu believed it.
......
Since being robbed by Li Jiajun eight years ago, Li Feihu has no capital to do big business, so he has to start from scratch again, more precisely, in debt.
Li Feihu saw that Guan Dabao's business of killing pigs and selling meat was doing well, and he didn't need too much capital, so he asked Li Zhangnan to buy a storefront house at the west end of the street.
Li Zhangnan didn't want to be crowded in the same yard with Li Feihu's family, so he rented a yard for Li Feihu's family, and promised to buy it when he had money in the future.
So, Li Feihu also became a butcher and set up a pork stall at the door.
In this way, Guan Dabao's business was robbed a lot by Li Feihu. However, Guan Dabao's strength is weak, and there is no way to compete with Li Feihu, so he can only swallow his anger.
Most pig farmers will choose to kill pigs for happy events or Chinese New Year's holidays, and give pigs into the water - that is, pigs' internal organs, hooves and tails - to the pig killers as wages. In addition to keeping pork for their own use, pig farmers distribute it to relatives, friends and neighbors.
Only those who are worried about not being able to collect the money for pork will sell the meat to the pig killer at a low price, so that the pig killer can make a little more difference. There are also some people who will sell adult pigs to pig killers.
The festival is the "golden season" for butchers. On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Li Feihu met a pockmarked woman on the way out to collect pigs.
The pock-faced woman stopped Li Feihu and asked, "Big brother, may I ask if your surname is Li?"
"What's wrong with the surname Li?" asked Li Feihu.
"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Fengxian. My mother-in-law's surname is Hu, and they call me Hu Li. I just thought you looked like my father.
My father's name is Li Zhangbei. After my parents were killed by bandits, my younger brother and I were adopted by my second master.
Later, when I was eight years old, I had measles, and my second grandfather sent me to a pharmacy in Langzhong. He left me in the pharmacy, went to my mother-in-law's family, and handed me over to my mother-in-law's family. Hu Li said.
"Sister!" Li Feihu put down his wheelbarrow and stood in front of Li Fengxian in a daze, tears flowing down uncontrollably.
