Chapter 18: The Ancestors of the Li Family
Under the watchful eye of the guards, Zhang Yu drove the car into the gate of the community in a daze and drove in the direction of Li's hometown.
After a brief introduction by the old man, I learned that this villa area is not a personal residential area open to the outside world, but as a place for retired veteran cadres of the army, so there will be guards with guns at the door.
The car stopped outside the door of a small moon-white building surrounded by red brick walls, and the old man got out of the car and shouted, "I'm back, open the door!"
Just this voice frightened Zhang Daxia, and said in his heart, "This old man has such a loud voice, the neighbors won't have any opinions, right? Such a good small villa, why don't you know how to install an access control? Good guy, you can't open the door even if you have a small voice!"
The door slowly opened to both sides, and a young girl in her twenties and sportswear jumped out from inside, and she rushed to the front of Li Lao in three or two steps, pulling the old man's sleeve, and being coquettish.
"Grandpa, take care of your eldest grandson! You forced me to practice again, and I was annoyed to death! Other people's kung fu has your old true inheritance, where can I use endless practice?"
"You're really... It's okay~ If you don't practice, you won't practice, the old man is right!" Li Lao touched the girl's head very fondly, pinched the small nose, and said with a pleasant face.
"I know that grandpa is the best for me!Eh~ Who is this guy?" The girl, who was about to continue to be coquettish, raised her eyes and saw Zhang Yu sitting in the car, and asked curiously.
Li Lao beckoned, Zhang Yu hurriedly got out of the car and walked to the front of the two.
"Qianxue, this kid's name is Zhang Yu, he is grandpa's new closed disciple today, you will call him Uncle Ancestor in the future, do you know? hahahaha!" As soon as Li Lao said this, Li Qianxue was instantly stunned, as if someone had clicked on the acupoint, and stood on the spot.
"Ahh
"Rules are rules, grandpa can follow you in everything, but this is the only thing that messes up the rules, but you can't do it, do you know?
"What's that... Master, you don't have to be so serious, right? From now on, you will all be your own people, why do you have to do this? If Qianxue doesn't mind, just call me big brother. Uncle Ancestor or something, I really can't afford it, Master!" Zhang Yu saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly interjected. In his opinion, it is just a simple title, and there is no need to make his ancestors unhappy!
"That's it, grandpa, look, Brother Zhang said so, you just raise your noble hand and spare me, okay?" Li Qianxue heard what Zhang Yu said, hurriedly got off the donkey, continued to pull the old man's sleeve, and beat the coquettish boxing method.
"Etiquette can't be abolished! No rules are not a circle! But since Zhang Yu said it, you can be commensurate with brother and sister in private, but you don't need me to teach you what to call outsiders, right?"
"Yes, Master!", "Yes, Grandpa!" replied the two young men almost in unison, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, and followed Li Lao into the door.
The red brick courtyard walls are not high, and there are no special defensive measures. When I entered the door, I saw that there were all kinds of weapons on an empty field of two or three hundred square meters in front of me. Swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, boring sticks, lances, whips, hammers, and grabs, there is no shortage of eighteen blades, and they are separated on both sides of the empty field. Zhang Yu is like a hillbilly, looking at this, touching that, satisfying his curiosity of desire and dissatisfaction.
Li Qianxue smiled and introduced the functions of these weapons to Zhang Yu, the "master and ancestor", one by one, and made a joke or two from time to time, which made the atmosphere of the scene very harmonious.
"The two of you will have time to communicate in the future. The girl went to make a cup of tea and brought it to the incense hall. Xiao Yu and I will go to the incense hall to pay homage first!" Old Man Li spoke, and the two little babies had to temporarily put down the weapons in their hands and obey the old man's orders.
Along the quiet path in the courtyard, Zhang Yu followed Li Lao to the incense hall in the backyard of the small building. When I entered the hall, I saw an offering table in the middle, on which was the statue of Zhang Sanfeng, the ancestor of Wudang. This statue looks very old, and when I ask, I know that it is a centuries-old object, which is rare in the world! There are all kinds of refreshments, fruits, incense and candles on the table, and it is clear that people often come to worship.
After some chattering worship rituals, Zhang Yu finally knelt on the ground and took the fragrant tea made by Li Qianxue, handed it to the old man, and said respectfully, "Master, please drink tea!"
After worshipping the ancestor and offering fragrant tea, the whole apprenticeship ceremony is over. Elder Li put the teacup aside, stretched out his hand to help Zhang Yu, and said, "Enter my door wall, remember to respect the teacher and abide by the law!"
Zhang Yu bowed, "Yes, Master!
The smile on the old man's face from beginning to end has never been broken, and it is a rare blessing to be able to receive such a talented disciple in his later years! A hundred years later, it can be regarded as having an explanation for the ancestors of this sect.
The three of them came out of the incense hall and went to the living room of the small building, but they saw a man in a wheelchair, staring at Li Qianxue with an unkind face.
"You girl, why are you so disobedient? Is it so difficult for your father and I to let you practice? You have to wait until one day you end up with me, you are satisfied, right?"
Seeing this, Qianxue, the girl, playfully stuck out her tongue, and ran behind Li Yuanlong to hide.
"Li Guodong, what are you howling? Scared my great-granddaughter to see that I can spare you? The old man is not dead yet, where can you reason with me this pearl in the palm of your hand? If you had listened to your old man, you would have ended up in such a field? Bastard!" When Li Lao saw his grandson in a wheelchair yelling at his baby bump, even if he didn't do it, he would roll his grandson in front of Zhang Yu! Anyway, in the eyes of the old man, Zhang Yu was an elder, and he was not an outsider, so it was not a shame.
"Grandpa, you... Alas~ I didn't say it! This little brother is..."Li Guodong saw that the old man was furious, and he was directly dumbfounded, and quickly changed the channel and looked at the young man on the side.
"What kind of fart? What young man? This is your Uncle Zhang Yu! You haven't seen the rudeness yet, and you want to rebel?" Li Lao glared and preemptively introduced his apprentice, as if he was deliberately looking at his grandson's joke.
"Division... Grandpa, you... I... Alas~" Li Guodong was immediately dumbfounded, unable to say a whole sentence, so he had to sit there and keep talking, as if he was very shocked.
Zhang Yu also stood in place in a daze, not knowing how to answer the old man's words, so he had to look at Li Qianxue behind the old man for help, which seemed to say, "Grandma, come out and help!"
Seeing this, Li Qianxue shook her head at first, and then she had no choice but to sigh, turned out from behind Li Lao, and said, "That... Grandpa, Daddy, don't make a fuss, okay? I know Daddy hates me more than steel, but don't you treat Grandpa to Daddy? Today, Grandpa Tai's big day, let's stop being the same as usual, okay?"
"Master! Sister Qianxue is right, you should be happy today! Besides, didn't Uncle Li say anything wrong? You can dissipate your anger, even if you are an apprentice, can you? I will cook for you in a while, cook a good meal for you, and drink two more glasses with you, okay? Zhang Yu had no choice but to persuade his master, and this was all he could do as an outsider. Other people's housework is not their turn to intervene, so they don't dare to say more.
When Old Man Li heard that his apprentice mixed up all kinds of names, he was immediately happy. Pointing at Zhang Yu and scolding with a smile, "Little rabbit cub, as soon as you enter my door, you will mess with Lao Tzu! What kind of nonsense are you calling in your mouth? This is also at home, if you go out, you can't make people laugh to death?"
"What the master has taught is that the disciple has been taught! How about we prepare lunch first? When the master has eaten enough and has the strength, it is not too late to teach the disciple. You said yes, right?" As he spoke, Zhang Yu squeezed his eyes at Qianxue and motioned for her to hurry up and help.
Li Qianxue was also busy saying that she was hungry and didn't eat breakfast. Now there is an extra uncle, you must see the power of the uncle! (Where is this Nima?)
The two little guys persuaded Li Lao to go back to the room to take a rest, and pushed Li Guodong to the porch to bask in the sun.
After understanding, I learned that the Li family somehow turned out to be a single generation, but it was the end of Li Qianxue's generation. Li Lao's wife died of blood collapse when she gave birth, and she didn't even see the real appearance of her son, so she died. And Qianxue's grandfather, that is, Li Guodong's father Li Huanhuo, was seriously injured and died in order to save his son, who was not good at learning and art, but was competitive, and his daughter-in-law was also too sad, and it didn't take long for him to follow. The white-haired person sent the black-haired person, one of the several major pains in life, which made Li Yuanlong feel the pain of losing his son!
Since then, Li Guodong has changed his past wrongs, changed his mind, changed his former exaggerated and arrogant personality, and gradually reversed his stubborn image in people's hearts. But when he picked up the martial arts he had put down for a long time, he found that it was too late, he had already passed the best years of martial arts, and it was difficult to achieve anything.
So he abandoned the military to join the army, with his own efforts, and the support of the old man behind him, the road was also smooth, until a special overseas mission, accidentally touched the enemy's anti-infantry mine, blew up a leg, and since then he has been in a slump, Qianxue's mother also left the depressed, like the walking dead Li Guodong.
This is also the reason why the old man often targets him. The old man actually loves his children very much, from his son to his grandson, and then to his great-granddaughter, it is impossible to say that he does not love it, he can't see his children waiting for death so depressed! In the old man's own words, "Lao Tzu would rather raise a cripple than a waste!" One can imagine how disappointed Li Yuanlong was in his grandson.
