Chapter 244: Xuanyuan Immortal Cave (4)
In the last book, Li Qiaozi, who went up the mountain to chop wood, met a yellow-haired and drooping wolf on the way down the mountain.
After a desperate struggle, Li Qiaozi finally drove away the evil wolf; Before he could sit down on the ground and catch his breath, he heard the gentle sound of the burden behind him, and a small earthy yellow animal jumped out of the pyre, stabbed into the barren grass by the roadside, and disappeared completely.
Thanks to this Li Qiaozi, he picks up the mountain to chop wood before dawn every day, and he has a good eyesight...... It's actually a half-sized weasel?
Seeing the escaped weasel, Li Qiaozi realized that it was this weasel that came to his senses, and it was this weasel that dared to open his mouth to ask for help; Looking at this posture, eighty percent of the opponents in its mouth are the vicious wolves who were scared away by his own axe just now.
Thinking of this, Li Qiaozi immediately chattered and scolded: "Okay, you don't know what to do, you don't know what to do, you have worked so hard to save you from the wolf's mouth, and you didn't come to thank your grandfather, and your grandfather was so tired that he broke the guy who chops wood and eats every day...... In the future, don't let grandpa bump into you on the mountain road again, otherwise you will have to peel off your skin. ”
That day, Li Qiaozi scolded and scolded and came down from the mountain, and picked up the firewood to the familiar rice shop; Almost wearing out the two mouths, the shopkeeper reluctantly opened four hundred green worms.
Li Qiaozi, who had already broken his mouth and had a dry mouth, picked up half a bowl of the cold tea on the dining table, tilted his neck and poured the tea together with the tea powder, and grabbed the small half-hanging copper coin thrown on the table by the shopkeeper and left the restaurant in a hurry.
But he said that Li Qiaozi found a nearby blacksmith shop that was jingling and hurrying to live, and as soon as he opened the door curtain and got in, he shouted to the blacksmith who was beating the quenched castings with all his strength, and said that he was looking for someone to make up for the axe.
However, when the sturdy blacksmith with a pair of shirtless arms put down his work, took the axe handed by Li Qiaozi, only glanced at it, and then pouted and threw it into the pig iron pile in the corner: "What else to make up for it when it all collapses like this bear?" Keep it for me as scrap metal. ”
That day, Li Qiaozi tried his best and couldn't get a new axe from the blacksmith...... The cheapest axe in the blacksmith shop also costs one or two pieces of silver, but the four hundred copper coins on Li Qiaozi's body are not enough for a fraction of others.
In desperation, Li Qiaozi had to pick up his broken wood axe with a missing mouth from the iron pile, and walked home with a long sigh.
Thinking that he would not be able to go up the mountain to chop firewood tomorrow, and that his livelihood in the future would be impossible, Li Qiaozi only felt that a few green tendons on his forehead could not help jumping around.
So he turned into a hotel with a broom erected in front of the door of the roadside, two pots of soju made of grass seeds, a plate of dried salted radish, leaning on the hotel counter and drinking in the dark.
It wasn't until the night was completely dark that Li Qiaozi, who was already drunk, got up in the impatient urging of the hotel junior, and walked crookedly all the way to his broken grass house by the hazy moonlight in the sky.
As he walked, Li Qiaozi suddenly stepped heavily on a hard quadrangular stone, and when he landed, Li Qiaozi, who was only wearing a pair of thin-soled and double-earhung linen shoes, screamed "oops", fell to the side of the road with a "grunt", and rubbed the soles of his feet in severe pain.
After being brutally beaten for a while, Li Qiaozi's drunkenness also woke up for five minutes, and when the pain in his feet and heart was slightly relieved, he scolded and scolded so much that he groped his hands back and forth on the ground, and it didn't take much effort to catch the culprit who had stumbled on himself.
Who knew that as soon as this thing was in his hands, Li Qiaozi's heart suddenly "chuckled", and his heart said How could this little stone be so heavy?
When he held it up in front of his eyes and looked at it through the moonlight above his head, Li Qiaozi couldn't help but gasp, where is this stone, it is clearly a piece of broken silver weighing four or five coins!
Li Qiaozi, who suddenly picked up a windfall, first gasped a few breaths, so as to calm the turbulent heart in his chest a little, and then brought the silver piece in his hand to his eyes to see the truth, and then happily put the silver piece into his arms, and walked in the direction of his own thatched house.
Since this day, Li Qiaozi has been able to find a large or small piece of broken silver and gold beans in the courtyard of his thatched house every once in a while.
Sometimes Li Qiaozi got up early, and he could see a yellow shadow more than half a foot long creeping into his yard; Gently spit out the broken golden beans in his mouth, turn around and "stab" and slip away without a trace.
Needless to say, this is the Huang Xian who was saved by Li Qiaozi on the mountain road before to repay the grace of saving his life.
Seeing that the gold and silver in his hand were given by Huang Xian to repay his kindness, Li Qiaozi finally put back a heart hanging in the air, and began to use these gold and silver to buy land with confidence and boldness.
"If this matter can end like this, then the Yellow Immortals will not be put on a treacherous and changeable hat by those who don't know why. It is said in the world that this yellow immortal repays the favor only for one lifetime, and the predecessors enjoyed the development, but the future generations were tired of suffering. ”
Huo Longju stroked the beard on his lips and told Yang Congxun and Hu San, who were so fascinated that this Li Qiaozi family was in line with the saying that 'Huang Xian repays his kindness only to the benefactor'.
It is said that Li Qiaozi's family, with the help of Huang Xian, really enjoyed a rich life of eating and drinking for more than 20 years, not only successively purchased hundreds of acres of grain fields and valleys, but also successively begged for two beautiful wives and concubines who were like flowers and jade, and there were groups of children under their knees.
However, just when the Li family was in full swing, this Li Yuanwai suddenly kicked his legs and closed his eyes, and he died.
This master is gone, no matter whether you are sincere or not, the whole family has to wear linen and wear filial piety and cry and rush to kneel in the mourning hall to guard the spirit, otherwise the Li family's property, you don't have to think about it.
However, on the night of Li Yuan's first seven days, a strange thing happened.
According to the memories of Xiao Li Yuanwai, who knelt in the coffin to guard the spirit that day, around the middle of the moon, a group of twenty or thirty half-sized weasels, led by a small two-foot-long big yellow skin, climbed to the coffin of his father Li Yuanwai, one after the other, and squeaked and chirped like guests who came to pay their respects.
The behavior of these yellow-skinned people is so strange that even Xiao Li, who was sleeping in front of the museum, was shocked by the movement of his coffin; It's just that under the leadership of the old yellow skin, they all turned their heads and bowed to Xiao Li Yuanwai twice, and then turned around and slipped away from the main entrance of the mourning hall.
Later, an old man who understood the five elements of yin and yang heard Xiao Li Yuan's foreign words about this matter, and he fell to his feet one after another and sighed: "Evil, this is the yellow skin who has received the great grace of Lingzun to save his life and bring a family of descendants to see off his benefactor, and then they are going to think of a way to harm your family!" ”
