Chapter 32: Returning Home (Asking for Collections and Recommending Votes)
At dawn, Li Hongji and the four of them were already a few miles away from Mizhi City, walking leisurely, everyone carrying a bulging small burden, and Gao Yigong, who was walking in the front, asked: "Hey~ brother-in-law, let's just open the grain depot of Ai Zhao's family and make the house brightly lit." Those poor people, especially those beggars, dare to break into Ai Fu and loot rice and grain? β
However, without waiting for Li Hongji to answer, Gao Ligong smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Yigong, today's Shaanxi has a series of disasters, wars and disasters, and there are hungry people everywhere. Now it is the middle of winter, the weather is cold, if you don't have enough to eat, it is difficult to say whether those beggars can survive this winter. If it were you, would you go to Aifu to loot food? β
"Does that need to be said? Go, of course go! Anyway, it's a death to advance and retreat, so it's better to give it a go and be a full ghost! Gao Yigong replied without thinking, and said it so righteously and heartily, like Li Hongji at some time.
After saying this, Gao Yigong showed an embarrassed look, realizing that he was too naΓ―ve and didn't understand the current situation, he coughed dryly twice, and then said: "Ahem~ that~ brother-in-law, how long do we have to get to Li Jiqianzhai, your hometown?" When will you be able to meet your nephew Li Guo? β
To the surprise of the three of them, Li Hongji waved his hand and said calmly: "Hehe, what we are going to now is not Li Jiqianzhai, but to the county seat of Suidezhou." β
The three brothers and sisters of the Gao family were all stunned, their steps paused, and then they continued to walk, following Li Hongji, Gao Yigong asked even more puzzled: "Uh~ brother-in-law, aren't we going to your hometown?" Why did it become the county seat of Suidezhou again? β
Li Hongji still walked forward on his own, walked forward, patted the burden on his back, and said calmly: "Yigong, you forgot, we have a lot of house deeds and land deeds on us. To go to Suide City, of course, exchange them for silver tickets. Otherwise, if we make such a big move in Mizhi City, after a long time, people within a radius of hundreds of miles will know about it. When the time comes, do you think we can still exchange the title deed for a silver ticket? β
Suddenly, Gao Yigong's words were answered, and Gao Ligong on the side seemed to react, and even added: "Moreover, let's stay in Suide City for a few days, observe the situation, and wait until the wind gradually stabilizes, and then it is appropriate to go to Li Jiqian Village." β
"Well, the eldest brother is right, we made such a big fuss in Mizhi City, Ai Juren lost all his wealth all of a sudden, and lost so much money, silver and food, it is impossible not to report to the official? Once the government knows that it is our doing, it will inevitably ambush Li Jiqian in advance and wait for the rabbit. In this way, it is better to mix into Suide City and see how the situation develops. Gao Guiying nodded and also expressed her opinion.
One explanation after another, even if you are stupid and stupid, you should fully understand. What's more, not only is he not stupid, but he is also very smart and has a seven-trick heart.
Half a month later, in the evening, Li Ji moved to the village, and in a certain family, a big man was drinking stuffy wine by himself, with a sad look on his face, and between his eyebrows, he was somewhat similar to Li Hongji. This person is none other than Li Hongji's nephew, his eldest brother's only son, Li Guo.
Pouring wine cup by glass, Li Guo muttered to himself: "Little uncle, how are you?" Are you okay? Although the two of us are a generation apart, uncles and nephews, we are more like brothers, we grew up together, we are both children without fathers and mothers, and we are lonely. β
After saying this, Li Guo poured a glass of strong wine again, drank it violently, the wine overflowed down the corner of his mouth, and he was still complaining: "Uncle, why don't you listen to persuasion, do you have to marry that fox spirit, ** person?" Well, you've only been in prison for two days, and that woman hooks up with another man. β
"Uncle, since you escaped from Hulu Mountain, robbed the inferior gentry Ai Zhao, robbed the rich and helped the poor, which made the people applaud and admire. However, after many days of no news from you, the couple became more and more bold, and they lived together, which caused criticism from the people in the village, and I almost had no face to stay in the village. β
"Uncle, I hate, I really hate, I can't wait to kill that pair of dog men and women, and vent my evil anger for you, so that you don't know if you cuckold again, uncle. However, Guo'er is just a junior, and he can't manage it at all. β
......
When night came, the sky was getting darker, Li Guo was getting more and more drunk, the whole person was becoming more and more decadent, his burly body was so depressed, he seemed very depressed and helpless, as if there were a thousand sorrows in his chest, but he couldn't tell it, he could only drink stuffy wine by himself.
At this moment, when Li Guo was drowsy, a squirming sound came, even if he was drunk, as a martial artist, Li Guo still sensitively heard this slight movement, raised his head suddenly, stood up violently, and shouted: "Who is it?" What kind of rats? So sneaky, secretive, can hide from others, but can't hide from me Li Guo, come out~! β
However, the response to Li Guo was still a squirming sound, and before he could ask again, a voice like a mosquito hissed sound: "Guo'er, don't make a noise, it's me~." β
In an instant, Li Guo heard the owner of this voice, and excitement suddenly appeared in his heart, although he wanted to shout loudly, as if he had thought of something, his face showed scruples, he still lowered his voice, and asked in a trembling voice: "Uncle, is it you?" β
At this moment, Li Guo was already completely awake, not a little drunk, looking expectantly at the direction of the door, the sound.
Soon, in the darkness, four black shadows walked out of the night, rushed in, and appeared in Li Guo's sight, and the one in the front was his uncle Li Zicheng of the same age.
There were many thoughts, although there were mixed feelings in his heart, Li Guo still held back the excitement, took a step forward, and said nervously: "Uncle, why are you back?" β
At this moment, Li Hongji is not only carrying a burden, but also carrying a food box in his hand, hearing this, he is still indifferent, and said with a smile: "Hehe, after a few days, it will be almost the New Year." For a long time, our uncle and nephew have been dependent on each other, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, I, who is an uncle, should come back to see you and spend the New Year together. β
Li Guo was very moved, but he was more worried, and he didn't have the slightest fear of being implicated, and just wanted to say something, he was stopped by Li Hongji waving his hand.
While speaking, Li Hongji had already thrown the food box on the table, turned sideways, patted Li Guo's shoulder, and happily pointed to the three people behind him: "Come, let me introduce to you, these are not outsiders." Oh, this is your new sister-in-law Gao Guiying, this is my brother-in-law Gao Ligong, and this is my brother-in-law Gao Yigong. β
After saying this, as if there were a thousand emotions, and in a smile, Li Hongji said earnestly: "Guo'er, if it weren't for your aunt and these two uncles, I would have died unjustly in prison a long time ago, how could there be this day when our uncle and nephew meet?" β
As soon as these words came out, it also outlined Li Guo's infinite sadness. Since childhood, although he and his uncle Li Hongji are the same age, they have always been the other party to take care of themselves. If you ask the world, there is only this one relative.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Guo wiped the corners of his eyes, hid his sadness, and pretended to be heroic: "I have seen my aunt, I have seen two uncles, and my little nephew Li has heard from the rivers and lakes a long time ago, you are all famous heroes." Moreover, if it weren't for your intake and careful care, and if I had been released from prison, my uncle and nephew would not have met again. β
However, without waiting for Gao Ligong and Gao Guiying, who are the eldest brother and sister, to say anything, Gao Yigong took a step forward suddenly, threw the things in his hand casually, put his arms around Li Guo's shoulders, and said familiarly: "Hehe... Li Guo, I've heard of you a long time ago. Listening to friends on the rivers and lakes, your martial arts are really good, you have a wide range of friends, all over the world, known as today's Qin Qiong, and you are deeply supported by friends in the green forest. β
"Come on, don't say anything, let's make a few moves first! First of all, let me state that although your uncle married my sister, the two of us are still on equal terms, and we are not allowed to leave behind when we are sparring. Otherwise, it's no fun to fight! β
Obviously, Gao Yigong's nature was revealed again, and when he saw someone, he wanted to try it.
"Haha... Okay! It's okay to compete, just talk about peers. If I promise you, my uncle won't beat me to death!" Li Guo was also infected by Gao Yigong's true temperament, revealing a bold meaning, and said happily, between words, he couldn't help but joke.
I have to say that Gao Guiying is really virtuous and understanding, when the four big men talked happily with each other, they greeted each other twice, just like a hostess, and began to vacate the wine and food brought by the four people, and set up a table, and suddenly the fragrance of the dishes was permeated, and the aroma of wine overflowed, which made people's appetite move.
In a trance, Li Guo's eyebrows would ripple with hesitation, which was fleeting, and it was well concealed, without being noticed.
"Come on, take a seat~! The four of you big men sit down and say, the wine and food are just warm, and if you wait any longer, it will be cold! β
Gao Guiying greeted and reproduced her heroine's spirit, without a little twisting and restrained feeling. Such a down-and-out and generous performance provoked Li Guo to nod his head secretly, and said in his heart: "It seems that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true, although my aunt is a woman, she acts very neatly and neatly, and she is very refreshing, and my uncle is really married to the right ~!" β
