Chapter 22: Salvation Retribution, Identity Revealed
Even though the patriarch was very familiar with Li Haoyue since he was a child, the peerless demeanor of the young man still made him shine again.
After he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: Alas, it's no wonder that the little girls of the right age in the villages outside the same village have begun to move, it is said that the threshold of Li Haoyue's house is about to be broken by the matchmaker and aunt who came to propose marriage. With his appearance, what a handsome man he will grow into in the future! In addition, this child can be literate and martial, and his family background is strong enough, if it weren't for their same surname, the same clan and the same lineage, even he would want to propose marriage to Li Haoyue's house for his granddaughter.
After Li Haoyue asked politely, she waited aside as usual, and expressed her calmness to the patriarch looking at him in a daze. There's no way, no matter who meets someone, the other party always looks at him in a daze for the first time, and he will get used to it like him.
"Is your dad back?" When he replied to God's patriarch's questioning, he couldn't help but feel more cordial than before.
"Not yet, but the last time my dad left, he said that the day he came back was about these days." Li Haoyue replied unhurriedly.
"That should be in time for your mother to give birth." The patriarch nodded, in fact, he didn't care about Li Tugen's little daughter-in-law, he was afraid that if Li Tugen couldn't come back one day, his beautiful little daughter-in-law would bring trouble to the village!
"Yes." Li Haoyue replied.
He just didn't show it on his face, but in fact, he was worried about his father's fact that he hadn't come back yet. His father, Li Tugen, is half a barren mountain bandit, which I am afraid that the people of the entire Dali Village have never thought of.
The reason why Li Tugen is half and not a barren mountain bandit is because he is not like the other barren mountain bandits who joined the Mu clan, the whole family is like this. In the Mu clan, the existence of Li Tugen is actually a special case.
Back then, after Li Tugen was from Rong, he wanted to get ahead by virtue of his military merit, glorify his ancestors, and bravely kill the enemy on the battlefield, and even won the appreciation of the peak. It's a pity that everything ended in the most tragic battle.
He could not forget that the enemy army was only a few men, but they were defeated, and even his superiors died in that battle. I can't forget the scene when the few people who arrived later and the enemy were able to kill the earth and the earth and the earth collapsed.
It turned out that the fist and foot kung fu he used to know was nothing more than rough fists and legs in the eyes of some existence, not worth mentioning; It turned out that these soldiers could only afford to be cannon fodder.
It was in that battle that Li Tugen almost died, and was mistaken for a dead man, and the news of his death was transmitted.
If it weren't for Mu Ziqing's naughty youth, who came out without permission with a group of naughty young people, watched the war as a play, and walked back and forth on the battlefield full of dead corpses on a whim after the war, and was grabbed by a hand stretched out by Li Tugen in the corpse pile, and rarely saved people with kindness, I am afraid that there is no such person as Li Tugen in this world, and there will be no Li Haoyue later.
Mu Ziqing was purely handy, because he was in a good mood that day, he originally saved people, and after placing Li Tugen, he was ready to wave his sleeves without taking away a cloud, hiding his merit and fame. But the actual situation is that he can't hold a tendon of Li Tugen, and he wants to repay the favor!
It's also strange that the three caves of the cunning rabbit of the Mu clan seem to have lost their spirits when they arrive here in Li Tugen. Of course, maybe it's really fate, Li Tugen, who picked up a life, looked for a benefactor everywhere, and always met the Mu clan who went out, so that Mu Chengling deeply suspected that there was a traitor in the clan during that time, and he reorganized it again.
The twelve barren mountain bandits have never been one heart, and even, the Mu clan is a thorn in the side of some barren mountain bandits. At that time, Mu Ziqing was young and frivolous, and he didn't take anyone seriously, and took a group of brothers into a trick, and became a bargaining chip for the other party to threaten Mu Chengling.
It was Li Tugen, who had a special fate with him and was looking for a benefactor everywhere to repay his kindness, who accidentally discovered him, and found a way to help him pass the news to Mu Chengling, and finally was able to crush the other party's conspiracy. It was also after that time that Mu Ziqing became a brother with him.
In fact, Li Tugen had completely joined the Mu clan, and he was ready to repay the favor with his life and not return to Dali Village, so that his family thought he was dead. But it was precisely because he became a bandit in the barren mountains that he was able to marry his current wife, Yang Yunniang.
At that time, the three brothers of the Mu family saw that he had no daughter-in-law, and decided to rob him of a daughter-in-law according to the "good" and "fine" tradition of the barren mountain bandits. happened to encounter a team of men and horses who fled in a hurry for some reason, so they hijacked them back. I didn't expect that there was only one candidate who could be a daughter-in-law, and it was still an amazing beauty. The only fly in the ointment is that the woman is too delicate and timid, and she looks like a delicate flower in a greenhouse.
The three brothers of the Mu family had a lot of ideas, so they asked Li Tugen to pretend to be a good person and "rescued" the woman from them. So, the weak and helpless Yang Yunniang finally followed Li Tugen, who was as ugly as Zhong Kui.
Mu Ziqing was proud of his idea to let Li Tugen hold the beauty, but later found that this woman was not suitable to be a member of the Mu family. Li Tugen, who became a relative, was reluctant to let her live the kind of life of the Mu family, and she really became a bandit woman.
So, in fact, Li Tugen, who was guilty of making his father and mother mistakenly think that he was dead, at the suggestion of the three brothers of the Mu family, through their brother-in-law An Wenping, let Li Tugen return to the army reasonably and successfully disarmed and returned to the field.
In fact, it has been many years since Li Tugen returned to Dali Village, and no one knows that during this period, he used to become a barren bandit, and even now he goes out with the herdsmen from time to time to rob houses.
Because of this experience, Li Tugen's kung fu is not the rough fists and legs that he once had. Although the ancestral martial arts of the Mu family is not passed on, there are many outsiders in the clan, Li Tugen has obtained a lot of real talent and practical kung fu, and even the basic mental method of Li Haoyue's martial arts is also found by the three brothers of the Mu family.
Of course, in order to please his three brothers-in-law, An Wenping's martial arts method was not a stall, but a noble horse for his father, An Xian, pestering the emperor Lao'er, and selecting it from the books in the palace, which was extraordinary. The three brothers of the Mu family and Li Tugen did not know this.
Yang Yunniang never knew that Li Tugen was also a member of the barren mountain bandits, and after following him back to Dali Village, she lived a small life peacefully, although it was not as good as her growing environment, but it was calm, the only fly in the ointment was that Li Tugen was often out and not at home, and she had to face the overlord flower mother-in-law alone.
Fortunately, the mother is expensive by her son, and her son Li Haoyue is the most beloved grandson of the overlord flower's mother-in-law, so she loves the house and Wu, and she has seen her a lot over the years.
Yang Yunniang felt that the little life was good, even if Li Tugen often went out, she could accept it, but in the mind of the little Li Haoyue, the father who was as powerful as a hero was always not at home, and he didn't like it. He also knew that as a man, he couldn't always pester his father, so he made a very big decision when he was only five years old.
Dad wants to go out to dart to earn money to support the family, he can't always be at home, it doesn't matter, he can follow his dad to dart to earn money. So, when the team of dart masters who would appear at the gate of the village every time Li Tugen went out appeared again, a small figure left a letter to his mother, and then took advantage of the lack of attention and slipped up smoothly.
This time, the robbers who were happily robbing the house and drinking and eating meat suddenly found that the boy who was as handsome as the little boy in front of the Buddha appeared in front of him, and he panicked.
I saw the five-year-old handsome boy and said with a serious face: "I saw it." ”
Seen them all? How did he hide it? None of them found him!
"Got it."
Kid, what do you understand? Don't get it!
"You're barren bandits."
If your identity is exposed, can you silence it?
"Daddy, are you sure you're a dart?"
A certain father was very far away from the bandits in an instant, and wanted to clear up the relationship, but found that it was too late.
"Alas......" has begun enlightenment at the age of three, and a certain baby who can read the words of the sage at the age of five disagrees, and after a long sigh, he began to preach at length.
The bandits suddenly looked like vegetables, they couldn't kill them, and they couldn't turn them back, so they all looked at Li Tugen and asked him to solve them by himself.
Li Tugen repaid the favor, but he didn't want his outstanding eldest son to become a barren bandit, but if the child was ignorant, it would be a troublesome matter to say it, and he was in a dilemma.
At that time, Mu Ziqing's second brother Ye Yaoxing opened his mouth and asked Li Haoyue not to say it, if he said it, it would be his father who was unlucky and not them, anyway, they had a lot of nests. When the time comes, he will have to follow his father and become a little bandit.
However, the little boy did not accept any threats, and in the end it was Li Tugen who solved it himself, he told the truth and told Li Haoyue about the process of being rescued.
Seeing that there was a reason for the incident, the other party was still kind to his father, Li Haoyue agreed to keep it secret, and he kept his word, and his mouth was very strict, five years have passed, but he has not revealed a single point to the outside, and sometimes he can even cover for his father. This is also one of the reasons why Mu Chengling arranged for Li Tugen to take An Mingyu in for a period of time.
Although Li Tugen did not tell Li Haoyue about the process of marrying his mother, Li Haoyue judged it herself, and estimated that eighty percent of his mother was on the thief ship. In the past, his father hid a lot of things from his mother, and this time, he was ready to arrange a little baby girl brought back from outside as her mother's birth, and let him help cover up and deceive his mother.
It's just that if his father can't come back before his mother gives birth, how can the plan be implemented? Besides, I don't know if the little baby girl was successfully saved? Li Haoyue answered the patriarch's words in an orderly manner, but her face did not show any anxiety in her heart, and secretly decided to go to the hunting lodge on the mountain for a while to see if his father and Third Uncle Mu had brought the little baby girl back.
Finally, the patriarch asked him some more questions before letting him go. After saying a polite farewell to the way, he hurried to the hunting lodge on the mountain.
I didn't know that the patriarch looked at his back as he turned away, and thought: Such a polite child is really pleasing to the elders! I don't know what kind of woman will marry him.
I didn't know that at this moment, at that place in the mountain, a little baby was being held and looked at the mountain village, smiling very happily, and a sudden "sneeze" scared several people to quickly check whether she was frozen.
