Chapter 21 Dreams Rise, Reality Falls

Dali Village, as the name suggests, is dominated by the Li family, and there are other surnames living in the village, but compared with the people surnamed Li, it seems too few.

Dali Village is located in Changling County, the southeasternmost part of Kan Prefecture in the Eastern Kingdom of Heavenly Decrees, very close to the border between the Kingdom of Heavenly Decree and the Eastern Liang Kingdom. However, due to its inconspicuous geographical location, the flames of war in the past two hundred years have not been able to burn here, so most of the families surnamed Fei Li have fled here in the past two hundred years.

Speaking of Dali Village, it is the richest of the villages in this 100-mile radius, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, backed by Dongmian Mountain, the mountain goods are extremely rich, there is a river gurgling through the village in the village, the farmland is fertile, the scenery is beautiful. Although most of the houses in the village are earthen houses, there are also many brick houses.

The people surnamed Li in this Dali village have been digging in the soil for generations, and the most outstanding one is just a big landlord, and the only thing that can make people talk about it is that the heirs are prosperous. If a family does not have more than three or four sons, they will feel ashamed of their ancestors.

After the patriarch of this term went out to see the world when he was young, he never forgot the demeanor of those big families, and strived to revitalize the Li family, using the money he earned back then to open a clan school, and funding to support the education of the poor clansmen with outstanding qualifications, and gradually formed a studious atmosphere.

It's just that I don't know if it's due to feng shui or something else, the war doesn't favor here, and the examination and official luck also don't favor here. Most of the people surnamed Li have repeatedly failed in the exam, and occasionally a talent or something like that has emerged has already been celebrated by the patriarch.

The patriarch of the Li clan is obsessed with the Li clan producing a high-ranking official, but there are always some people in the village who do not follow the wishes of the patriarch. The patriarch of the family went out for a circle and came back to work hard, and his ideals were ambitious, and Li Tugen's father went out for a circle, but he also had ideals, but the ideals were not ambitious enough, but he just took a fancy to a flower in the village next door ten miles away, and he had to make trouble to marry back.

She is a flower, but unfortunately it is an overlord flower, only the beauty of flowers, not the fragrance of flowers. As famous as her appearance is her spicy and domineering personality, but in the eyes of her lover, Li Tugen's father has a tendon, and the overlord flower is also true love!

In the end, Li Tugen's father naturally got his wish, who made him tall and mighty, and the family conditions were good, so he fell into the eyes of his mother-in-law!

After this overlord flower was picked back to Dali Village, Li Tugen's father's face turned red with joy, and the patriarch's face gradually turned black with anger.

There is no other reason, just see that overlord flower she is super capable of life. It's nothing, which daughter-in-law of their Li clan can't give birth to a daughter-in-law who marries back? But every time she gives birth to a child, she will make the chickens and dogs in the village jump, which makes people vomit blood when they go, and the most important thing is to name it wherever they are born.

For example, Li Tugen, have you seen the name? It was born at the root of the earthen wall, so it is called Li Tugen. And his eldest brother was born by his mother by the river in the village, called Li River. The second brother was born in Dongmian Mountain, called Li Shanli.

In the end, the patriarch couldn't help it, called his mother-in-law to the door, and said euphemistically, the next time she was about to give birth, please stop walking around and stay in the house.

Well, people are obedient, and this time they finally gave birth to the house like a normal person, but the child's name is Li Tukang!

The patriarch really wants to vomit blood, I don't ask you to become a literati and inkman, but you can't be vulgar! Are these children's names called? It really lowered the reputation of the entire Dali Village, for fear that others would not know that their surname Li was dug in the soil and had no knowledge! For this reason, the names of the three generations of his family's children were all personally taken into battle by the patriarch, and he asked the master in the clan to give them, and he finally saved them.

The overlord flower that made the patriarch vomit blood actually still has advantages, although the name is not good, but he is willing to send his child to the clan school, which is not hopeless in the eyes of the patriarch. No, in recent years, the only two talents in the village have come from her family. Of course, the patriarch boiled down to the reason why he gave his master a good name, because the outstanding ones are the three generations of her family's children, especially one of them, Li Haoyue, a good seedling who is valued by him, and his future achievements will definitely be higher than his two talented cousins!

Speaking of this Li Haoyue, I have to mention his father Li Tugen.

Overlord tightened her belt, worked hard with her father-in-law, and sent every child in the family to the school. Several children are mediocre in qualifications, except for Li Tugen. It's a pity that he is smart and smart, but he doesn't like to read, he only likes kung fu with fists and feet, dancing knives and guns.

In the eyes of the patriarch, this is a complete waste of talent and not doing his job! As everyone knows, the children of the real family are all both civil and military, because the advanced martial arts are in the hands of the superiors, and they never share it with the commoners, otherwise there is a rumor on the Yanhuang Continent that "the commoners live seventy, and the powerful have more than a hundred"?

In addition, in those years, wars broke out, the situation was tense, and the imperial court mandated that each family should have at least one male to serve in the military, and Li Tugen took this place on his own initiative.

At that time, Li Tugen was still a handsome young man, and he vowed to let his family wait for him to become a general and become famous, and also reassured the patriarch that even if he didn't like literature, he could realize the patriarch's ideals from martial arts and glorify his ancestors.

The patriarch would never admit that he was still tempted at that time, but unfortunately the result was that Nali Tugen was gone forever, and even the bad news of his death came from the army, which made his mother cry to death on the spot. Fortunately, there was a false alarm in the end, and I was mistaken, but the general didn't think about it anymore, it was said that he was seriously injured and could no longer stay in the barracks.

When he returned to the field, the former handsome young man had changed beyond recognition, and he had become a rough man with five big and three thick, and there were hideous scars on his face that were difficult to erase.

Li Tugen's return caused a sensation in the entire Dali Village, not because of his return, nor because he became crooked and ugly, but because he had married on his own initiative, and the little daughter-in-law he brought back was so beautiful!

is so beautiful that it doesn't look like what the world should have, really, if it weren't for the fact that the little daughter-in-law was born Li Haoyue a year after returning to Dali Village, and Li Haoyue also looks similar to the Li family, there will definitely be people who think that Li Tugen is green, even if there are villagers who are skeptical about it now.

The people in the village all regard Li Tugen's little daughter-in-law as a rarity, Li Tugen's father saw the new daughter-in-law, but he was very proud, thinking that his son was very good at his demeanor, and he could pick a flower back after going out, but the patriarch was worried, his father picked a bully flower back, where did he pick the silk flower?

Anyway, the mother's overlord flower still knows that it is from the next village, but his silk flower has no idea where it came from.

The Heavenly Oracles country is a little better than other countries, but all the soldiers who are disarmed and returned to the field will be treated very well, and Li Tugen took the silver taels. After returning to the village, he took his daughter-in-law, and obtained the consent of his overlord Hua Niang, who saw that his new daughter-in-law was not pleasing to the eye and decided not to be out of sight and out of mind, at the foot of the mountain, in the deepest part of the village, built a blue brick house, and lived there.

Later, Li Tugen said that he had found an acquaintance and worked in the dart industry, making a lot of money, but he often stayed home for ten days and half a month, and even did not come back for the next few months and half a year.

No, his little daughter-in-law is about to give birth again, and he is still nowhere to be found, and he hasn't come back for a few months! Really, if you are not careful, your head may turn green, and you dare not come back often, does everything depend on his overlord flower's mother and Haoyue's child?

The worrying patriarch, who had to patrol the village several times every day, was thinking about it, and saw Li Haoyue's child from a distance to learn from the clan. When he was about to call him, he saw a scene that gave him a headache in recent years.

"Brother Haoyue, what a coincidence!" The seven-year-old pock-faced little girl had a chance encounter, and it was clear that the patriarch had caught a glimpse of her hiding in the grass on the side of the road!

The ten-year-old boy didn't respond, and the soles of his feet sped up.

"Brother Haoyue——!" Not far away, a well-dressed little girl ran towards this side, and before anyone arrived, the voice arrived first, "What a coincidence, I actually met you!" ”

The little boy didn't even look away, let alone stop for the other party.

"Haoyue, are you out of school? My aunt's family made dumplings today, come to my aunt's house to eat a little, and bring some to your mother by the way! Li Haoyue had just passed by the door of her house, and opened the door accurately, as if the aunt who had accidentally met him was smiling very happily, and behind her stood her little daughter who was shyly smiling and secretly looking at the little boy from time to time.

"No, thank you, auntie." There was a response, but the boy's footsteps did not stop.

"Brother Yue!" A shadow rushed towards him, but he saw that the little boy didn't think about it, the pace of the soles of his feet changed, he took a step sideways, and dodged, but the other party's momentum was too great, and he accidentally spread his limbs and fell to the ground.

The little boy's face did not change, he turned a blind eye, and still walked forward, leaving behind all the aunts and sisters who happened to meet him, and he was even more unaware of the quarrels that arose for him behind him.

The patriarch held his forehead, he really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, on the way home from Li Haoyue's clan school, all kinds of aunts and sisters came out to meet by chance, and even aunts and sisters from other villages came to see each other thousands of miles away, which is already an indelible landscape in Dali Village now!

In the end, the patriarch who cared about Li Tugen for so long and hadn't returned hurriedly caught up and stopped Li Haoyue: "Haoyue, ......"

"What's the matter, Grandpa Patriarch?" I saw that the little boy finally stopped his steps and turned around slowly.

In an instant, it seemed that everything in heaven and earth had lost its color, and when his heavenly appearance came into people's eyes, people could no longer take their eyes off.

What a chic and beautiful boy, as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind!

I saw that the little boy had a temperament like a bright moon, bright but not dazzling. At the age of ten, he has long since faded away from the feminine appearance of his childhood, and now he has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall nose bridge, and a touch of perseverance on the corners of his slightly pursed lips, just like his always stable character. It's just that he is still young, and he still has the childishness that has not faded on his face.

People are as their name suggests, Li Haoyue!
