Chapter 5: The Curse of the Li Family
Inside Box 36.
"Sister Feifei, the Hummer man who looked like Gu Tianle just now, his eyes were straight when he looked at you, you kind of stunner really goes, disaster will come!" A sweet voice said with a smile.
"It's all a bunch of color embryos, why are you mentioning them?" Ye Feifei replied disdainfully.
"I think the Hummer man looks like a decent gentleman, and he's a practitioner who broke the car window with one punch. It's very similar to you, you like violence, hehe...... And the family is really handsome. Li Suxian is still a real smile for a day.
"Hmph, reckless man, maybe he's kneeling outside and begging for mercy right now." Ye Feifei replied coldly.
Ye Feifei and Li Suxian grew up together since childhood, and the two have a very good relationship. Ye Feifei is actually only a few months older than Li Suxian, born in a military family, his parents and grandparents are all soldiers.
Perhaps because of his family background, Ye Feifei has been relatively independent since he was a child and has a calmer personality. But Li Suxian is a little bird and a weak appearance, so she is naturally called a sister.
"I said, Xian'er, why did you come a day earlier, and you still have to come to eat in such a messy place?" Ye Feifei asked dissatisfiedly while cutting the steak.
Li Suxian shook his wine, sighed lightly and said: "This was not the case here before, I have been here a lot before, I just want to come and see and miss it." ”
"This can't be the place where you used to go to school and date a boy, right? You must know that you are different from others, and you can't just find a boyfriend. ”
"Who is that boy, I have to report to Grandpa Li and find out his bottom line." Ye Feifei looked nervous, and almost took out his mobile phone to call Li Suxian's grandfather.
Li Suxian was a little crying and laughing, shook his head and said, "Who has a chance to get close to me?" ”
"Yes!" Ye Feifei thought about it for a while and put the phone back in his pocket. "However, this kind of place can't come back in the future, there is too much garbage, such as the man in the suit just now, it's disgusting to think about."
Li Suxian pursed her lips and said, "With you, what are you afraid of." ”
In front of Ye Feifei, Li Suxian will always be like a child, and only in front of Ye Feifei can she be so calm.
"Xian'er, why did Grandpa Li send you here to go to college back then? The conditions here are so bad! Ye Feifei asked suddenly.
"Because I have an agreement with my grandfather, and my grandfather said that the ancestors of our family are people from this mountain." Li Suxian replied to Ye Feifei while looking at the mountains in the distance, and his memory suddenly returned to six years ago.
"When the Li family has no baby girls, the sun never sets."
Li Suxian is the only girl in the Li family's generation, and she has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, especially her grandfather, who regards her as more important than his own life.
From childhood to adulthood, everything about him was arranged by his family, like a bird living in a cage. No matter what you do, wherever you go, there are people around you who protect and watch, in the open and in the dark.
Li Suxian always felt that she was a canary, or a canary that could not be appreciated.
One night, grandfather Li Zhan called his father Li Zhanyun and Li Suxian to the study.
Xian'er, I know you don't like your current life, and Grandpa doesn't want to restrict your freedom.
It's just that our Li family is different from ordinary people, and I don't know how many wolf ambitions are staring at the fat of the Li family. And you are grandpa's weakness, and grandpa doesn't want you to be hurt.
"But grandpa, I don't want this kind of protection, I just want to be an ordinary, free person." Li Suxian said coquettishly.
Grandpa Li coughed dryly twice, and after being silent for a few seconds, he said, "Now there is a chance, Grandpa can give you freedom." But you are going abroad to go to school, as an ordinary person, I will not send anyone to protect you, nor will I interfere in your life. ”
Li Suxian was overjoyed in his heart, but unexpectedly, Grandpa Li added, "But after you go out, you are never allowed to come back, let alone mention your identity to anyone." ”
"No one in the Li family, including your friends, anyone you know, is not allowed to contact you."
"From today on, you have to take your mother's surname, and your name will be changed to Bai Su. If you can do all of this, then Grandpa will no longer interfere with your freedom. ”
Li Suxian didn't understand why her grandfather suddenly said such heartless words, she thought that she had made her grandfather angry.
With red eyes, she held back her crying and said, "Grandpa, Dad, don't you want me?" I don't want to leave you, and I don't want the so-called freedom anymore. ”
Xian'er's father, Li Zhanyun, didn't say a word, and closed his eyes helplessly.
Li Suxian was at a loss, she didn't know why her grandfather suddenly said these words, she only blamed herself for being too willful and angering her grandfather.
Grandpa turned and walked to the bookcase, pumping back and forth in the middle of the bookcase a few times.
Grandpa's study, Li Suxian also came in for the first time. Usually, unless summoned by grandpa, the Li family is not allowed to enter, and this is equivalent to the forbidden area of the Li family.
"Boom," there was a rattle on the floor, and a small hole was made in the floor in front of the desk.
The small hole is not large, about 70 centimeters long and 40 centimeters wide.
Grandpa Li took out an old-looking wooden box from the hole and placed it on the table. said: "Xian'er, come and take a look." ”
Li Suxian walked quickly to the table, only to see a row of ancient words on the wooden box.
"Do you know the words on it?" Grandpa Li asked calmly.
"Well, although it's a traditional character, I can understand it." Li Suxian replied to his grandfather while observing carefully.
"When the Li family has no baby girls, the sun never sets."
Li Suxian was really frightened, didn't dare to read it anymore, looked at the wooden box blankly, and asked, "Grandpa, who wrote this, why did you curse our Li family like this?" ”
Grandpa Li closed his eyes, sighed and said, "What is in here is the 'Shang Commandment Ruler', which is the heirloom of the Li family. ”
"Why is the heirloom in a wooden box with a curse written on it?" Li Suxian was very puzzled.
"You're confused, aren't you?" Grandpa Li Zhan asked.
"Yes, Grandpa." Li Suxian echoed.
"Listen up!" Grandfather Li Zhan's expression was very serious at this time.
Our Li family has been a businessman for generations, and they are all giant businessmen on the rich side. No matter what the world is, whether it is a troubled era or a peaceful and prosperous era, the Li family is a businessman on the rich side, and it has never declined for more than 300 years.
And all this stems from this "business ruler".
According to legend, this "business commandment ruler" was left by Shen Wansan, a giant merchant in the Ming Dynasty. Shen Wansan hid his life's business experience in this ruler.
Shen Wansan originally wanted to use this commandment as an heirloom to give to future generations and inherit his inheritance in order to protect the glory of the Shen family for eternity.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang confiscated his home and sent him to Yunnan. This ruler also went to Yunnan with him.
Shen Wansan was depressed after arriving in Yunnan and soon became seriously ill.
He couldn't bear to bury what he had learned all his life and the wisdom of doing business with him. He found a master in the deep mountains of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and sealed his personal wisdom in this commandment.
However, after Shen Wansan entered the deep mountains, he never came out again. Even the people who sent him in didn't come out again. The ruler of Shang was left in this deep mountain.
My great-grandfather was originally a farmer in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and I heard that he had disappeared in the mountains for more than ten years, and he came out with this commandment.
Relying on this commandment, the Li family quickly made a fortune.
Great-grandfather was afraid that the tree would be caused by the wind, so he asked my grandfather to leave the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau with the second room of the Li family and the "commandment ruler", while the big house stayed in the Yungui Gaoyuan to confuse the public.
"That'...... What's going on with the words on the box? Li Suxian couldn't wait to ask.
Prophecy ...... It's also a curse! ”
Li Zhan then explained: "It was left by my great-grandfather, and he said that was the condition for him to get this ruler. The Li family can be rich, but the Li family's baby girls will be fewer and fewer from generation to generation until there are no baby girls. If the last generation of baby girls could not bring the ruler back to its source before the age of 25, then the Li family would have declined until it perished. ”
Li Suxian is unbelievable! The story told by Grandpa is so bizarre and bizarre.
But Li Suxian also understands that it is impossible for grandpa to joke with himself in this kind of place.
Li Zhan continued: "I have already checked, there are no girls in your generation in the Dafang lineage, so you are the last baby girl." ”
Li Suxian's head went blank.
In the past 18 years, she has been like a child who does not care about the world, and her life has never gone through a single twist and turn.
Under the pampering of the Li family, she stretched out her hands for clothes and opened her mouth for food, and she didn't even have the ability to take care of herself. It can be said that if she leaves the Li family, she may not be able to survive.
Such a child was suddenly told one day that he was the key to the survival of the entire family. In other words, it is difficult to accept it for a while.
Dad Li Zhanyun said helplessly:
"So you have two choices now, either you hide your surname Li and go to another country, maybe it can save your life, but the Li family may disappear from now on;
"Either you accept this fate, be strong, and find the source of this ruler, but you may pay with your life for it. It's just that if you can't find its provenance, the Li family will also disappear. ”
"As Li Zhanyun's daughter, I believe you will not choose to escape. However, grandpa said, respect your choice and give you a chance. ”
"No, I'm not leaving!" Li Suxian said categorically.
"Good...... Good ......" This is the descendant of the Li family, Li Zhan said happily.
He gently stroked the box and continued: "Over the years, we have spent a lot of energy and visited all over the world, but we have never been able to break this curse, and we have not even had the slightest clue about his origin.
At that time, my great-grandfather left his ancestral teachings, and until the last generation of baby girls were not allowed to go to the deep mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou. However, in the past hundred years, the Li family really didn't want to sit still. The Li family sent many people into the deep mountains of Yungui, but they either found nothing or disappeared inexplicably.
There are three groups of missing people, 18 years ago, 53 years ago, and 78 years ago. It's all 25 years, which makes me believe that you are the last baby girl in the prophecy. Moreover, all three groups of people are missing near Wuyun Mountain. So I deduced that this place was in the Wuyun Mountain.
…………………………………
Li Zhan gently unfastened the lock on the wooden box and opened the box carefully.
Inside the box is a red wooden ruler, which is covered with dense text, like earthworms.
The wooden ruler is different from the ordinary ruler, and there are many expenses on both sides, like the feet of a centipede. There are two round circles at the top, like two eyeballs. The ruler is very strange, not like a ruler at all, but like a centipede.
Li Suxian's right hand uncontrollably wanted to grasp the ruler. "Grandpa, I feel, it's calling me."
Li Suxian grabbed the ruler before she finished speaking, and her movements were very fast. Li Zhan wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
At this time, the red ruler emitted a dazzling red light, and the whole ruler looked like a burning flame. The red flames vibrated violently, desperately trying to break free from Li Suxian's hands.
Li Suxian felt a hot current burning in her hand, and she gritted her teeth and held the ruler tightly.
"Xian'er....." Li Zhanyun looked at the pale Xian'er, walked over quickly, and stretched out his hand to snatch the commandment ruler from Xian'er's hand. But before he could get closer, Li Zhanyun was swept away by a powerful air current, and he took four or five steps back before stopping.
Li Suxian felt that the hot current was climbing up along his right hand, and soon the hot current reached his chest, and Li Suxian felt dizzy. Fainted.
"Come on, find a doctor," Li Zhanyun shouted as he rushed to the door.
"Zhanyun, don't call, Xian'er is fine." Li Zhan said in a stop.
Stopping, Li Zhanyun hugged Li Suxian, who had fallen to the ground, into his arms. Shaking gently, he called, "Xian'er...... Xian'er ...... Wake up......"
After a while, Li Suxian slowly opened his eyes.
"Xian'er, what happened to you just now?" Li Zhanyun asked with concern.
"Dad, I'm fine. Just now, there was a strange force pouring into my body; I couldn't hold it anymore and fainted. ”
"And now?" Li Zhanyun asked worriedly.
"There's nothing uncomfortable right now, on the contrary, it's very energetic, as if I've been sleeping for a long time and just woke up. It's a strange feeling, it's very comfortable. Li Suxian smiled and got up.
"Just ......"
"Just what?" Li Zhanyun was still very uneasy, and hurriedly asked.
"It's just that the back of my right shoulder feels hot, like something has burned it."
Li Zhanyun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly rolled up Li Suxian's short sleeves. He was stunned and shouted at Li Zhan: "Dad, come and take a look, what is this?" ”
Li Zhan bent down, half-squinted at his presbyopia, and looked at it carefully.
I saw a 10-centimeter-sized red centipede carved on Li Suxian's right shoulder, like a totem, like a living centipede, like a tattoo carved on the skin, and like a living creature living in the cortex.
Li Zhan shook his head thoughtfully, and said in surprise while picking up the "Shang Commandment Ruler," it was the "Spirit Seal." ”
