21. Child, alive

"Tama Village is the most popular bandit around Tu County, I don't know if the location of the cottage occupies the natural danger, or because the parents and bandits here are complicit. Anyway, for more than ten years, there have been countless bandit leaders who have died on the knife edge, and his mother is not worth more than leeks, but these bandits who run to wealthy villages and towns from time to time to rob and kill people have been living nourishingly, and they just find a new master.

But two years ago, there was a butcher with a thin family of assets, carrying a big knife and rushing up the dangerous mountain road known as "Stone Back", and finally somehow became the new owner of this horse village.

And the family members who had to be replaced in January and February because they died in civil strife and were dismembered by knives have never been replaced......

But there are always minions who are careful and are hacked to death and thrown outside the cottage. ”

After eating, Li Xi and the two mushrooms sat there, each holding a cup with hot water, forming a small triangle.

The two mushrooms listened carefully to Li Ci's story, and Li Ci also told them about the things that they had heard from others.

But obviously the two girls didn't buy it, Xiao Liang blew some hot white water, and Xia Cao was stunned.

"Uh...... Doesn't it sound good? ”

"Uh-huh......" Natsukusa nodded, and then demanded:

"Tell a similar story to Thumbelina......"

Li Ci nodded in response, thought for a while, and then said:

"Then today I'm going to tell you a mermaid story......

“……”

"Legend has it that there is a palace in the middle of the sea...... There are seven princesses living in it, all of whom are fishtails...... He has a beautiful face, and long hair, and the most beautiful singing voice......"

"Wow......" Natsukusa exclaimed.

"He is talking nonsense, the group of mermaids in Beihai are all backward group tribes, with their intelligence and productivity, they are not enough to produce a power structure like a dynasty, where did they come from?"

Natsukusa: "......"

Li Ci was slightly annoyed: "Do you still want to listen to the story......"

Xiao Liang ignored him on the side of his head, and Li Xi took a sip of saliva and continued to speak:

Princesses can only go to the sea when they are fifteen years old. The little mermaid princess looks forward to this day day and night.

The little princess is finally looking forward to this day. Her first wish was to swim to the surface of the sea like her sisters and see the beautiful scenery outside.

The little mermaid hurriedly swam out to the surface and enjoyed the surrounding scenery. At night, she watched a splendid ship anchored at sea.

The lights on the boat are brilliant and the music is melodious, which is really fascinating. It turned out that a grand dinner was being held on the ship to celebrate the birthday of a prince......"

The lights in the room are dim, the warmth is warm, and Li Xi's voice is soft, telling a story that has accompanied countless boys and children in their childhood dreams. The mermaid princess wept to herself, for at dawn she was about to turn into foam and disappear without a trace. At this time, the sisters called out to her loudly on the sea:

"Sister! We got the sword from the witch.

You just have to stick it in the prince's chest and you won't turn into foam"

Xia Cao listened to it fascinated, looking nervous,

Xiao Liang felt that this broken story was simply illogical...... But the beautiful eyes that rolled, and the slightly furrowed brow clearly showed that she was listening carefully.

Under the lights of the night, tell a story of love to two innocent girls, thinking about what they will look like when they grow up, what kind of man they will marry, what kind of child they will give birth to, and how similar the child will be to them.

Could it be that in the middle of the night, I accidentally remembered in my heart that there was a little mermaid...... Then I passed on this story with a sour and soft heart, and I passed on this story with nostalgia......

Li Ci suddenly felt that the kind of thing he was doing was very beautiful when he thought about it, and it would not be any worse than secretly developing himself and accumulating qi......

Li Xi's voice became softer and softer, and his expression ended the whole story with a warm expression......

"The sun is out...... The Little Mermaid smiled and frothed...... Brilliant colors in the sun...... She blessed the prince......"

Li Ci's tone was warm and sad, which reminded Xiao Liang of the night before when Li Ci talked to her about those "good children", which was exactly the same.

Looking at Xia Cao's eyes red and tears falling from her eyes, Li Ci smiled brightly, because he believed that a child who was willing to cry because of fairy tales must not have lost the best kindness and innocence in his life......

And what made him happy was that Xiao Liang stretched out his arm very clumsily and hugged Xia Cao's small body awkwardly...... The voice was very jerky and comforted:

"She's a princess, there are only a few words recorded in the ancient books left by my teacher, these are the identities with a large number, and they will become ghosts and gods and continue to live well......"

Crying Xia Cao, pitifully poked her little head out of Xiao Liang's arm and asked, "Really? ”

The latter nodded his head firmly, and after thinking for a moment, he added in a low voice: "When I have time, I will give Beihai Kong Rong a letter and ask him to provide some protection for those mermaids...... Blame the poor ......."

Mr. Kong Ming couldn't remember at all that she had collected a jar full of mermaid essence blood......

Just hugged Xia Cao tightly to comfort, Li Ci looked at the two girls and was in a happy mood.

"There's nothing better than a warm hug when you don't know what to say...... Moreover, Xiao Liang is not as alienated and indifferent to this world and people as he imagined."

Li Ci thought of it, and then looked at the sky and it was already late, so he softly instructed:

"You two should go to sleep, I'll go and talk to Aunt Xia, you can stay with Xiaoliang today, otherwise she won't be used to it alone......"

Li Ci looked at Xia Cao and nodded, Xiao Liang's eyes were happy, and he went out while talking. And when he went out, the two little girls looked at each other with a smile and a happy look.

Li Xi walked fast and came back after a while, but the imaginary scene of two people sleeping obediently under the quilt did not appear.

The two little girls wrapped themselves in a big flower brocade quilt brought by Xiao Liang, only revealing their little feet and heads, and counted the flowers on the quilt very affectionately.

"How late is this...... Two children will be eaten by wolves if they don't sleep...... Hurriedly? Sleep ......"

Xiao Liang glanced at one: "Who are you and me......" arrogant eyes......

Then she continued to say something to Xia Cao, and after she sat in the country, she gave her half of the flowers in the south of the Yangtze River......

Li Ci grinned bitterly:

"Zhuge Kongming, whose name is like the sunshine and sweat...... It's actually ......."

Li Ci looked at the two girls who seemed to be able to talk all night angrily, and directly blew out the lamp.

Domineering reprimand: "Hurry up and give me a ...... sleep"

Before the words fell, a small cool and elegant voice came from the other side, and she said to Xia Cao

"In a few years, there will be chaos in the world, and when I raise troops to occupy the Guli Mountain, dig the tomb of Yingzheng, and then we will play, the lights in there, I heard that they are all hundreds of years old......"

Xia Cao responded very excitedly: "Well......"

Li Ci, who was standing in the dark night, only felt that tonight's Tuna had to be delayed for a while, and his qi and blood were a little unsmooth......

……

Although he said so, Li Xi still practiced the knife three hundred times, and he spit out for a while, just like he had been doing all along, and he didn't slack off just because he went home.

He did find that after killing the white tiger, the benefits he brought to himself were beyond imagination......

Although those three drops of cyan liquid qi luck could not be absorbed immediately, just like the three masters of the martial arts hall, the pure white qi luck in the life pool flowed through it, and it would become a little condensed little by little.

Li Ci's luck at the moment is so strong, even if it is enough to be in charge of three or four hundred-person villages, if he proposes to serve as the head of Baicun Village at this moment, obviously those resistance and criticism will disappear, and luck will not come out of thin air, it must be relied on, such as the increase in the luck of officials, it must be the power of the official position as the carrier of this part of the increase in luck.

And the carrier of Li Ci's luck of these hundreds of people is probably his friendship with Pang Tong, as well as the prestige and gratitude generated by saving more than 20 hunters in the neighboring village, which can offset the resistance to Li Ci's future promotion......

Just thinking about it, I felt that the qi luck in the life pool moved, which was some kind of sign, but it didn't seem to be a bad thing, Li Xi also took the opportunity to watch the life pool, and the boundary of the life pool, which was originally the size of the palm, had become a little blurred due to the overflow of luck...... This is obviously the fate pool is about to expand.

And the pure white qi flow in it is no longer the gray and ordinary as it was at the beginning, but has a bit of beautiful white clouds

However, if you look closely, about one-eighth of the luck in it is separated from other luck, forming a knot independently......

This is the result of the unfulfilled oath with the Song lady, which originally accounted for more than half of Li Xi's luck, but at this time it was only a small part. It is conceivable that Li Ci has grown in the past few days.

However, if it weren't for the half of the village qi that Song Niangzi helped him grow, Li Xi might not be able to meet Pang Tong's eyes by chance......

The cause and effect in the dark Li Xi didn't intend to repay the debt, and the temple still had to be repaired for her......

Li Ci was thinking about it, and saw Zhang Niu coming in a little cramped, looking at Li Ci in the courtyard with great guilt and embarrassment, and didn't speak, Li Ci was stunned for a moment, and greeted: "Uncle, you are here, what's the matter?" ”

The man who entered the mountain on weekdays and instructed Li Ci confidently rubbed his hands, stepped forward with a horizontal heart, and stuffed the silver that Wu San gave him, along with Li Ci's share, into Li Ci's hand, and said with a red face:

"Uncle I'm sorry for you, I don't have the face to say anything superfluous, I greed your money with my conscience... You saved my life... Alas, it's shameless to say......"

didn't give Li Ci time to refute, stuffed the money into Li Ci's hands, and then put down his pick:

"I heard that there is a little girl in your house, this is sent by the sister of the Zhou family, she is a widow who is not easy to come to the door, and this is the egg that the old lady asked me to bring you, don't give in to the girl, this is Daddy Zhou's own pickles...... He said that he was giving the girl a taste, and the uncle didn't have anything good in his hand, so he brought you a few rabbits, fortunately, some fattened meat...... Hey, that's it, uncle is gone......"

Zhang Niu said that he seemed to be relieved, and his tone was much more bold. I got up and left quickly.

Li Xi hurriedly stopped, rushed up to stuff the ingots of silver back, and said with a smile:

"Uncle, the silver was earned by your hard work, and you almost died in the deep mountains and old forests, if I take this money, I will be sorry, besides, how kind you are, who in the village is not clear these years, I am a child who was orphaned at the age of seven or eight, and I can nourish and live to this day and how much you have taken care of, I know better.

Your little brother goes out to fight for the future, where you don't need to be dotted, you naturally can't be a father.

If you still think that my kid is okay, take the money back, there is no grudge, if you are not happy, at most let my Aunt Zhang cook a good meal one day, and I will accompany my uncle to drink......"

Looking at Li Ci's smiling smile that was not fake at all, Zhang Niu, a bitter man, firmly held Li Ci's hand for a long time before letting go, then patted him on the shoulder, and left without saying anything.

"It's not easy to live...... Li Ci sighed slightly
