Chapter 37: The eldest lady is jealous
After the two sent Xiao Yuer home, they also embarked on the road back to the clan.
Li Hao was a little depressed and didn't want to speak, Li Pingmei lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, so the two walked without saying a word.
"Do you care about Sister Yu'er very much?" I don't know how long I walked, Li Pingmei suddenly turned her head and asked, staring at Li Hao with staring eyes, flashing with a strange light.
Li Hao fell silent.
Did he care about the little widow?
Maybe it's because of that level 4 rebellion mission, maybe it's because the woman is really distressing, or maybe it's because of that rainy day.
After all, he still couldn't forget that rainy day, the woman who ran towards him with a skirt and a book to block the rain, and the woman who was separated from him in two worlds.
10,000,000 points, this is like a big mountain, which makes Li Hao breathless.
Lin Yan'er, Xiao Yu'er, Lin Yan'er...... The two petite shadows kept flashing back and forth in Li Hao's mind, until they finally slowly coincided together, and Li Hao's eyes moistened.
Li Pingmei noticed something unusual, she turned her head to look at Li Hao, and inevitably saw those dark eyes.
After getting along for a while, she began to slowly understand that Li Hao is an optimistic, mature and stable person who does not match his age, whether it is being beaten with a cane in the clan, or standing up for the second egg, etc., these things make people understand the stubbornness and perseverance in his character, and those eyes will never be cowardly and retreating, which is why she admires each other so much.
However, now in these black pupils, she saw endless sadness, and it seemed that countless stories were hidden in it.
Li Pingmei's heart suddenly trembled violently and irrepressibly, and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, could it be that in his heart, that person was really so important?
Li Pingmei's eyes seemed to be sticked, and she only looked at Li Hao blankly, with mixed feelings in her heart, as if she was being pinched, very uncomfortable, sinking into emotions that even she didn't understand.
I don't know how long it took, Li Hao took a few breaths of air, slowly recovered from that memory, and after he wiped his face hard, he found the strange appearance of Li Pingmei, and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Li Pingmei immediately noticed her gaffe, although Li Hao did not answer, but she had an answer from the other party's expression.
She felt inexplicably uncomfortable, turned her head slightly, pulled back her face and said coldly: "It's okay, it's time to the clan, you can go back and rest." ”
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, he always felt that the eldest lady was angry when she spoke today, could it be that she was in a daze just now and angered her?
"Wait a minute, Miss. Li Hao suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted.
Li Pingmei stopped and turned her head: "What's the matter, is there anything else?"
Her tone was unusually flat, even a little more raw, and her expression returned to the indifference she had always had.
Li Hao was also surprised that she changed her face so quickly, but he still turned around the space spirit ring, took out a small package from it, and handed it to her.
"What is this?" Li Pingmei looked at him suspiciously.
"You open it and take a look. Li Hao said with a smile.
Li Pingmei ripped open the cloth knot, and suddenly a delicate wood carving figure appeared in front of her.
The wood carver is only the size of a palm, but his face is unusually clear, like willow eyebrows, star-like eyes, beautiful face, and the faint smile on his face, lifelike, as if a real person is standing in front of him.
Li Pingmei looked at the gentle and smiling face in front of her, and then looked down at the wood carver, a little stupid for a while.
......
The hot summer day went away with the sound of cicadas, but the atmosphere of the Li clan became more and more hot, because there was only half a month left before the ancestral ceremony.
The Li family has been handed down for hundreds of years, at first, the ancestral ceremony was only to commemorate the ancestors, but with the change of the family, it was given more meaning, in addition to retaining the original "ancestor worship", but also added "measuring the destiny of heaven" and "selecting martial talents" to investigate young disciples.
Those who perform well in the ancestral canon will receive extremely rich rewards, such as spiritual skills or elixirs, but in fact, what is more important is the improvement of status.
As long as you can enter the top eight of the ancestral canon, you will get the status of a disciple of the inner clan, and in the future, you will be able to enter the three halls and twelve rooms to hold important positions, for some lowly status, it is simply a great opportunity to turn over.
Of course, the most shocking thing is not Li Pingmei, five years ago, she caused the Heavenly Mandate Tablet to shake on the ancestral ceremony, won the martial arts championship with a complete victory, and was made an exception to be named the great elder of the clan, which further stimulated many young disciples to practice frantically, just to become a human master.
Li Hao had no interest in being an elder deacon, but in order for his mother-in-law Lin to live a good life, he still spent more time on cultivation during this time.
Early that morning, the warm sunlight shone in through the window screen and fell on the handsome boy on the bed.
He sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and his palms continued to form complex and mysterious handprints on his chest, and as the handprints moved, the aura between heaven and earth slowly flowed towards his body like a thousand rivers entering the sea, shining from a distance.
The night spent in such penance, and when the sunlight crept up on his face from his chest, the light on the young man's body slowly dissipated.
On the stone bed, the young man inhaled the last wisp of spiritual energy into his body, and then the handprint accelerated abruptly, and the spiritual energy in his body gushed out, and finally all condensed on the index finger of his left hand.
When the aura reached its peak, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and the palm of his left hand stretched out, and one finger flicked open.
"Gravel Fingers!"
With a low shout, fierce energy shot out from his fingertips, like an arrow from the string stabbing towards the heavy stone gate.
Whining!
Shimen shuddered and made a muffled sound of movement.
"Alas, this gravel finger should be regarded as a human-level top-level spiritual skill, but my cultivation is too low to exert its true power at all. Looking at the shallow dent on the façade, Li Hao touched his nose with some embarrassment and looked at the ancient book in front of him.
There are six types of "Ben Lei Six Fingers": Gravel Finger, Mountain Collapse Finger, Broken Sea Finger, Earth Splitting Finger, Open Sky Finger and Ben Thunder Finger, Li Hao has the upper part of the law, that is, the first three styles, but with his three-legged cat kung fu, he can't even fully use the first finger, let alone the back of the mountain and the broken sea finger.
"Forget it, it's almost time, and I'm going to work in the animal house. Li Hao sighed, packed up his mood and walked out of the room.
The mother got up early, prepared breakfast, and Li Hao ate two bites and went out.
These days, he is really busy, in addition to working and cultivating, he also has to run around.
Miss Li still went to Aoki Pharmacy the next day, and her attitude towards Li Hao became more and more strange, sometimes gentle, sometimes extremely cold, which made him a little confused, and Aoki Mei'er seemed to be like a nobody, and seemed to have completely forgotten that Li Hao had "insulted" her with his eyes.
On Erdan's side, his father-in-law's injuries were so good that he was healed, but the old Taoist priest had ill intentions, and finally hooked up with Erdan, and now he wandered around with Erdan all day long: stealing things, telling fortunes and deceiving people, visiting Qinglou kilns, it was simply that in addition to killing people and setting fires, other bad things were done. Fortunately, the old Taoist priest was very measured in doing bad things, and he really hadn't done anything harmful, Li Hao felt more and more that this old guy was unfathomable, and he really couldn't guess his purpose, so he turned a blind eye and watched it.
As for Li Xiu's side, he has been dividing a lot recently, probably because the ancestral canon is about to begin, and he is also forced to cultivate hard, so he has no time to do evil, he has settled down, and Li Hao is busy again, so he has bypassed him for the time being.
Li Hao stood in front of the door, sorted out everything, the weak and delicate face appeared in his mind, and finally sighed slowly, muttering to himself: "After finishing work today, let's go see that silly girl......"
