Chapter 67: The Tanuki Sees the World for the First Time (4)
Li Xiaohu rode on a horse and blew the sky wildly. Xiao Yuxie showed disdain for his words. While talking, the two unknowingly came to the West City Gate.
"Miss Xie, you can come. A simple man smiled happily when he saw Xiao Yuxie, "If it's too late, Brother Qi will leave." β
This man's surname is Ren, and he is the third in the family, and everyone calls him Ren. It was he who took Xiao Yuxie's job. Xiao Yuxie's bid was refreshing, so seeing them arrive in time, Ren Laosan was very enthusiastic, who wouldn't want to make a little more?
"Miss Xie?" Li Xiaohu looked at Xiao Yuxie, thinking to himself, it was really troublesome to have to use a fake name when going out.
Xiao Yuxi leaned over to him and whispered: "From now on, this girl's name is Xie Yuxiao, I forgot to tell you just now, and you yourself should hurry up and give a pseudonym." β
Li Xiaohu held his forehead with one hand and said secretly: "Naming it?
"What is this son's name?" Without giving Li Xiaohu time to think about it, Ren Laosan asked.
"In Xia Li-" Li Xiaohu's heart kept flashing one name after another-he was carefully choosing. It's like playing a game name in your previous life, and you have to watch it for a long time at random.
Xiao Yuxi mistakenly thought that he was troublesome and was about to tell him by his real name, so he hurriedly said: "His name is ...... It's called Lee Cat, a kitten's cat. She couldn't say why, when she mentioned "Little Tiger", she naturally thought of "kitten", so she named Li Xiaohu "Li Mao".
"Li Mao?" Li Xiaohu almost screamed, what kind of ghost name, can it be faked a little more? Which parent would name their child like that?
No, I've got to come back. He thought.
Ren Laosan didn't think it was unusual, he was born in a poor family, and he didn't pay attention to his name. Just like himself, his parents were old when they gave birth to him, and he was born frail and sickly. So his parents gave him a cheap name - Dogdan. To this day, many people still call him a dog.
"Tanuki?" a childish voice came from behind, "this big brother has a strange name. β
Everyone turned to look and saw a cute little girl covering her mouth and snickering. She was holding a young woman by the hand. The young woman was dressed in men's clothes and had a heroic look of her own. At this moment, he was looking at Li Xiaohu and Xiao Yuxie with a vigilant face. She seems to have a lot of experience in walking the rivers and lakes, and she can see at a glance that Li Xiaohu and Xiao Yuxi are not ordinary people.
"Brother Ren, theyβ" The handsome woman asked.
"They, like Miss Zhao, also went to Jinju with the caravan. β
Hearing Ren Laosan's words, the heroic woman's face changed, and she was obviously unwilling to expose her itinerary in front of strangers.
"Tanuki, forget it, it's better than Lee Cat sounds like it has a lot of cards. Li Xiaohu secretly thought in his heart. So through the words of the little girl, he said: "The name of my brother Tanuki has a great origin, and there are no more than five people in the entire Great Wei who know this secret. Would you like to hear about it, little sister?"
The heroic woman was about to pull the little girl away, but she didn't expect Li Xiaohu to take the initiative to talk to them, and he stretched out his five fingers with a mysterious look.
As soon as the little girl heard that there was a story to listen to, she excitedly shook off the woman's hand and jumped to Li Xiaohu's side.
The heroic woman squatted down and said, "Xiao Miao, go with my sister, and my sister will tell you a story." β
"But...... The story of Big Brother is not known to five people in the whole world. β
Seeing her sister like this, the heroic woman became more and more convinced that Li Xiaohu was a charlatan and wanted to stay away from him.
Li Xiaohu saw that the heroic woman looked disgusted with him, so he couldn't help but say it, and directly told the story: "Things have to start from eighteen years ago. At that time, the emperor was on the throne, and the world was in turmoil. The land of Kyushu is full of visions. In the depths of the mysterious Longmian Mountain Range, an unknown mountain range lives an immortal, known as the Beiyun Shangxian. It is said that he practiced the immortal method "Wind and Cloud Technique", calling for wind and rain, and it is not a problem to overwhelm the mountains and seas. Five hundred years ago," Li Xiaohu lowered his voice, as if he was talking about a secret that could not be publicized, "Beiyun Shangxian helped Taizu of Great Wei to unify Kyushu, and then because of his merits, he was suspicious, so he retired to the mountains and forests. β
Seeing Li Xiaohu whispering, the little girl couldn't help but hold her breath, for fear of missing the highlights.
"There is no time in the mountains, this moment is hundreds of years. However, on a night more than ten years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky in the mountain range where Beiyun Shangxian lived. Tens of thousands of meteorites pierced the sky, like destroying the world. β
When Li Xiaohu was concentrating on telling the story, a few more people came to the side unconsciously, all of them were from the caravan. They didn't interrupt Li Xiaohu, and they also stood aside and listened with interest.
"Fortunately, it is in the depths of the inaccessible Longmian Mountain Range, otherwise it will be a disaster that shocks Great Wei. Patches of mountains and forests were overwhelmed by meteorites, and the flames soared into the sky, as if they were in purgatory for a while, "Li Xiaohu had both expressions," Beiyun Shangxian flew over the mountains and forests, reciting the magic of "calling the wind and calling the rain" in "Wind and Cloud Techniques". Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed color, and it rained heavily. β
It was a long time before the fire was extinguished. But the forest has been completely destroyed, and no one in the forest has been spared. Just as Beiyun Shangxian was about to leave, a group of raccoon cats suddenly appeared shuttling through the forest. Curious, he flew up to investigate. The group of tanuki also stopped, staring at the Beiyun Shangxian in mid-air. β
"It's strange that the big tanuki in the lead actually carries a baby on its back. Beiyun Shangxian thought that the tanuki had stolen the children of ordinary people, so he wanted to take it back. The tanuki stood motionless until he took the baby from the big tanuki's back, and the tanuki turned into black stones. β
Only then did Beiyun Shangxian understand that these tanuki were all transformed by meteorites, and they were escorting the babies in his hands to the world. β
"Could it be...... I learned that my brother was the baby. The little girl's eyes lit up, and she seemed proud that she had guessed the end of the story, "So...... Hokuunzen will name his brother 'Tanuki'. β
Li Xiaohu made a silent gesture to her, and she immediately covered her mouth in a low voice.
Xiao Yuxie on the side was stupid, if she didn't know Li Xiaohu's life experience, she would have believed his nonsense.
"That son is the son of heaven and earth," Ren Lao San was shocked, "no wonder he was born extraordinary." β
Li Xiaohu was born rich and noble, used the best resources, and accepted the orthodox aristocratic etiquette. Although it is usually unkempt, once it is installed, that extraordinary temperament is naturally revealed.
The heroic woman didn't believe him, and said coldly: "I heard that the area around Longmian Mountain is a forbidden place for the royal family. And the timeline of the story you said is messy, and when you hear it, it's nonsense. β
Li Xiaohu didn't explain, and with a chuckle, he took out a scroll of maps from his arms, then slowly unfolded them, and said, "Girl, look at how long the entire Longmian Mountain Range is." To the west, from the north of Los Angeles to the north of Tongzhou, and then to the North Gate Pass. To the north it stretches to the North Sea. There are so many secrets hidden in this. β
The woman didn't believe it: "You said it all the way, but this girl sees you...... I see that except for the fact that you were born with a good skin, the rest of the place is very ordinary. She grabbed the little girl who was rubbing against Li Xiaohu and continued: "Do you know that if those words just now reach the ears of the Great Wei Imperial Court, it will be a disaster. This girl sees you as a liar with ulterior motives. β
It is also true that he is a liar, but Li Xiaohu is unhappy. So he untied the dragon sparrow sword behind his back, disassembled the strip of white cloth at the hilt, and then gently pulled out the sword for three points.
Suddenly, the vision of the dragon chanting and the bird's song appeared. Everyone was shocked. The heroic woman looked even more incredible.
Li Xiaohu rewrapped the Dragon Bird Sword in satisfaction.
Xiao Yu twisted the flesh around his waist in anger, lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "What are you doing? When you go out, you don't understand the truth that your wealth is not exposed?"
Li Xiaohu also felt that he was a little flamboyant and was ready to end.
At this moment, a young man in his thirties shouted to them in the distance, "Everyone. Ready to get out of town. β
