Chapter Seventy-Two: Waiting for the Dawn

When Feng Ying returned to the house, Li Chengyuan was still angry.

"Look, what is this kid used to now? With his brain, how can he beat those old foxes? How can I trust him to hand over the whole town. ”

Feng Ying didn't enter the house, she leaned against the door of the house, glared at Li Chengyuan, and said angrily.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, what a big deal!"

Li Chengyuan originally wanted to pick up a glass of water to suppress the fire, but after listening to Feng Ying's words, the anger became even greater, and he slammed the water cup on the table with a snap.

"What's the matter? How big do you want things to be? Tonight's incident was originally the Liu family's possession, and Liu Yunyi was his elder, where did he Li Nianfeng have the ability to interject before others spoke? Do you still talk about etiquette? Regardless of dignity or inferiority? It's a bastard. ”

Knowing that the old man was angry, Feng Ying didn't plan to worry about Li Nianfeng, she walked to Li Nianfeng's side, refilled him with a glass of water, and then said.

"Nian Feng didn't mean it, didn't he also think about our Li family? Tell me, Li Tiansheng is a member of the Li family, and as a result, he sold Li Aniu cleanly, so forget it, after all, our Li family didn't plan to shield Li Aniu, but he still spoke in a hesitant manner, obviously hiding something, isn't this a joke that wants other families to see our family? You say, Nian Feng, as a young patriarch, can he not be in a hurry? ”

Li Chengyuan ignored Feng Ying's comfort, the table slammed loudly, and he scolded angrily: "For the sake of the Li family? Does he have that qualification? Besides, is it only the Li family that he will take over in the future? If he is partial at this time, who in the other families will obey him? Young patriarch? Just like him, can he sit firmly in my seat? ”

Feng Ying was also a little angry when she saw that Li Chengyuan was going over the fire, she took a deep breath, forced herself to show a smile, and said softly.

"How old is Nian Fengcai, can't you fight those old foxes? He still has time to ...... slowly."

Before Feng Ying finished speaking, Li Chengyuan slapped the table and yelled at Feng Ying.

"How old is that? I'm going to be thirty soon. How old do you want him to be? And me? How many more years can I help him? If only ......"

With a snap, Feng Ying didn't wait for Li Chengyuan to finish speaking, and directly slammed the water cup in his hand on the table, and the water cup was suddenly shattered, and the water in the cup flowed all over the table in an instant.

"Li Chengyuan, are you enough? It's over, isn't it? Didn't my son just make a little mistake? Are you so angry? Dare to yell at the old lady, you try to yell again? ”

Li Chengyuan's face was still full of anger, but when he saw Feng Ying angry at this time, he suddenly wilted, his mouth opened wide, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Being a broken patriarch can give you the ability to endure it. Someone else makes a mistake and it's over after a day of kneeling, what about you? Directly let your son kneel for three days, what's the matter, what does your son owe you? That is also the son of the old lady, and it is a piece of meat that fell out of the old lady's pregnancy in October, you don't feel sorry for the old lady. ”

"I ......"

"What are you? Don't you just want to show your selflessness? Do you have what it takes to kneel on your own? Why do you have to be bullied by you just because your son's surname is Li? ”

"Unreasonable, simply unreasonable."

As soon as Feng Ying spoke, Li Chengyuan was speechless, and in the end, he could only bang on the table in anger.

"Dare to knock on the table, what. Do you still want to hit someone? It's long-lasting, isn't it? Come on, you call one and I'll see. ”

Feng Ying stretched out a finger, and the fingertips were about to poke Li Chengyuan's eyebrows.

"It's the other way, it's the other way, you're trying to me off."

Li Chengyuan was so angry that he jumped like thunder, but he didn't dare to move.

Feng Ying glanced at Li Chengyuan obliquely, and felt that the anger in his heart was almost vented, and at the same time, he was worried that he would be angry with his wife, so he snorted coldly, ignored Li Chengyuan anymore, and turned around to wash alone.

After Feng Ying left, the more Li Chengyuan thought about it, the more angry he became, he didn't take off his clothes, and turned around and lay on the bed alone and sulked.

Not long after, Feng Ying came back with a basin of water, took off Li Chengyuan's shoes and socks three times and divided them by two, and began to wash Li Chengyuan's feet.

The moment his feet entered the basin, there was a "whoop", and Li Chengyuan's whole person almost jumped up.

"You damn woman trying to burn me."

Feng Ying sneered, raised his head and glared at Li Chengyuan and said.

"It's going to burn you, what, don't accept it? Put your feet in the basin for me, close your mouth for me, and if you dare to scream, I'll change the water for you. ”

Li Chengyuan's face was flushed with anger, but looking at Feng Ying's eyes, he still didn't dare to say a word, so he could only obediently put his feet into the basin and grit his teeth to endure the torture on the soles of his feet. When his feet were finally washed, Li Chengyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when Li Chengyuan thought that this was the end, Feng Ying came back after pouring water, and then without saying a word, she took out a futon from the cabinet and threw it on Li Chengyuan.

"Choose, you sleep on the ground or I sleep on the ground."

Li Chengyuan's eyes widened, and he couldn't say a word when he looked at Feng Ying.

"Hurry up and choose."

Looking at Feng Ying's threatening eyes, Li Chengyuan roared.

"I'll sleep on the ground, it's done!"

Then he picked up the bed, and in a blink of an eye it was made. After all, after so many years, he has not slept on the floor less, everything is ready-made, and he has long been used to it.

Feng Ying snorted coldly and lay on the bed to get ready to sleep.

"Go, blow the lamp out for me."

Li Chengyuan snorted coldly and obediently blew out the oil lamp.

After the lights went out, the room was silent, except for the sound of two people breathing.

"Madame, are you asleep?"

Not long after the lights went out, Li Chengyuan whispered to Feng Ying twice.

"Madam, I have big things to do tomorrow, I can't sleep well on the ground, and I won't have energy tomorrow."

No response.

"Madame, have you slept? It's cold on the ground, and my back will hurt tomorrow. ”

Still no response.

Li Chengyuan sighed and stopped shouting, which can be regarded as resignation.

After another moment.

"Get out, dare to get angry in the future, you don't want to go to bed again in this life."

Li Chengyuan seemed to be prepared, he had already stood up when Feng Ying just started to speak, and by the time Feng Ying finished speaking, Li Chengyuan had already touched the side of the bed.

"You asked me to come up, huh?"

When Li Chengyuan went to bed, he didn't forget to remind him.

Feng Ying snorted coldly.

"Why don't you get out of here?"

Li Chengyuan didn't dare to say a word more, and obediently got into the bed.

————

After Lu Yangsheng left the town, he didn't stop at all along the way, and walked straight to the cemetery of the ninth master.

After arriving at the grave of the ninth master, Lu Yangsheng laid out the wine and food prepared for him by the patriarch one by one, and then respectfully kowtowed three times, and said to the tombstone of the ninth master.

"Ninth Master, I'm Xiao Yangsheng, I'm here to keep filial piety for you. Grandpa the patriarch asked me to bring you something to eat, and asked me to bring you some words. ”

Then Lu Yangsheng told the Ninth Master word for word what the patriarch asked him to bring.

After finishing speaking, Lu Yangsheng began to add soil to the grave of the ninth master.

Because the ancestral tomb of the Gongsun family is in Nanshan, although there is still a little distance from the forest, but for the people in the town, it is still a little remote, so there are not many people who usually come here, even if it is said that because of the funeral of the ninth master, Li Chengyuan cleaned up the surrounding weeds and shrubs, but it still looks a little barren.

Not far from the grave, there was a small wooden house, which was small but had all the necessary organs. Like beds, bedding, kitchens, iron pots, water tanks, etc., there is no shortage of daily necessities. Moreover, from the outside, you can see that this wooden house is definitely newly built, because some of the branches left on the wood even have green leaves.

To be honest, such a wooden house is far better than the house built by Lu Yangsheng himself, and it is also stronger and warmer.

After inspecting the situation of the cemetery, Lu Yangsheng was very happy, after all, such a room was a place that Lu Yangsheng had dreamed of.

Of course, if there was no Taoist priest who had been grinding and chirping, Lu Yangsheng would be even happier.

"I said, little brother, the tribute is almost ready to eat, right? You have already finished adding soil to the grave, and if you don't eat it, your food will spoil. ”

"Little brother, tell me, I ate so little food in the morning, and I walked the mountain road for so long with food on my back, my stomach was already hungry, and if I didn't eat something, I would starve to death, can you bear to watch me starve to death?"

"Little brother, ......"

Since Lu Yangsheng put out the tribute, Jiang Guining, who was already tired and lying on the ground, immediately became energetic, he looked at the roast chicken and meat pieces in the tribute, his eyes almost popped out, and he stretched out his hand to grab it, but he was knocked out by Lu Yangsheng, who had been on guard.

Jiang Guining, who came back to his senses, also knew that it was not time to eat the tribute, so he could only stare at it and drool on the side. Then when Lu Yangsheng added soil to the grave, Jiang Guining began to babble about Lu Yangsheng.

Listening to Jiang Guining's chatter, Lu Yang ignored him, only cared about his own affairs, and completely ignored Jiang Guining's existence.

By the time Lu Yangsheng finished cleaning up the cabin, Jiang Guining's chatter was already a little weak. Looking at Jiang Guining, who was about to fall asleep, Lu Yangsheng coughed lightly.

"Ahem......"

Hearing the movement, Jiang Guining raised his head, his eyes were foggy, and he habitually said in his mouth: "Little brother, it's time to eat, if you don't eat, you'll really starve to death." ”

Lu Yangsheng nodded.

"It's ready to eat."

Jiang Guining may not have heard clearly, he is still chattering there.

"Little brother, the meat has been bad for so long...... What? Can you eat it? Finally able to eat? ”

Jiang Gui chattered for a while, and finally reacted, and the whole person was in good spirits all of a sudden.

"I can eat it."

Lu Yangsheng looked at Jiang Guining with an expression of disbelief, nodded, and signaled that he had heard correctly.

With a swish, the roast chicken in the tribute was missing a chicken leg at a speed invisible to the naked eye, Lu Yangsheng rubbed his eyes, and then looked at Jiang Guining, who was gnawing on the chicken paws. If it weren't for the facts in front of him, Lu Yangsheng would have thought that he was dazzled.

"You...... You can eat it quickly, it's a pity that it's cold, but you can still make do with it. ”

It seemed that he was a little choked, Jiang Guining took a sip of the wine jug, and then his face was full of intoxication.

"Good wine, Shutan."

Lu Yangsheng had already sat next to Jiang Guining at this time, he picked up a chopstick vegetarian dish and put it in his mouth. Hearing Jiang Guining's praise, Lu Yangsheng said vaguely: "Of course, this is the wine given to me by the patriarch's grandfather, it must be good wine." ”

Jiang Guining still had Lu Yangsheng in his eyes at this time, he poured another sip of wine, and then began to gobble up, and whined twice in his mouth, as if he had answered Lu Yangsheng's words, but Lu Yangsheng didn't hear a word clearly.

The food box is very large, there are three layers, one layer of meat, one layer of roast chicken and wine, and one layer of vegetarian food, if there is only Lu Yangsheng alone, this food box is enough for him to eat for three days, but if one Jiang Guining is added, the food in this food box is only enough for the two of them to eat.

At the end of this meal, all the chicken bones that could be bitten were eaten by Jiang Guining, and that's it, he still said that he was not full.

After eating, after Lu Yangsheng cleaned up his things, he put the cleaned dishes back into the wooden box, and then put the wooden box in a complete place in the house. This thing has to be returned to the patriarch, but it can't be broken.

After working for nearly half an hour, Lu Yangsheng finally had time, he walked to Jiang Guining's side, clenched his fists and said, "Dao Chief, didn't you say that you can help me lay a solid foundation?" Now that you've eaten food and drinks, are you ready to start? ”

Jiang Guining had just eaten a full meal, and he was comfortable at this time, Lu Yangsheng came to disturb him at this time, how could he be happy. So he glanced at Lu Yangsheng obliquely, and said angrily: "Why are you in a hurry, your problem can't be solved in a day or two, can it be half a day?" Rest first, and when the time is right, the trail will teach you. ”

Lu Yangsheng looked at Jiang Guining's eyes and asked curiously, "Then when is the right time?" ”

Jiang Guining rolled his eyes, turned around, and turned his back to Lu Yangsheng, looking like you don't bother me.

"I'll tell you when the time comes, but I'm telling you, it's certainly not now. So, now, I'm going to rest, don't bother me. I've been tired all day, how can I still have the strength to teach you. ”

Lu Yangsheng really wanted to shout at Jiang Guining, "The second half of the grain was carried by me, and I didn't shout tired of the mountain road you walked empty-handed, what are you tired of!" Just thinking about Jiang Guining's character, Lu Yangsheng could only swallow the words back into his stomach.

In this way, the two of them didn't do anything, and just stayed up until the night.

Maybe they were really tired, and the two of them rested so early after dinner. But in the middle of the night, Lu Yangsheng was suddenly woken up by Jiang Guining.

"Little brother, wake up, come and see if something is wrong in the town?"

Lu Yangsheng was called outside the wooden house in a daze, glanced at the direction Jiang Guining pointed, and suddenly lost his sleepiness.

It turned out that at this time, the town was lit up with torches, illuminating the town red.

"Look over there, it looks like there's a fire."

Lu Yangsheng looked in the direction pointed by Jiang Guining, and sure enough, he saw a ball of firelight, which seemed to be due north of the town.

"Tsk, it's so lively, something must have happened, I really want to go and see what's going on."

Lu Yangsheng was completely awake at this time, and he roughly guessed what was going on. Originally, Lu Yangsheng thought that he would have to wait a few days for the town to have an accident, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, as soon as he left on his front foot, the people in the town started, which really surprised him.

"Little brother Yangsheng, what's the matter, do you want to go back and have a look?"

Jiang Guining saw that Lu Yangsheng was up, and hurriedly encouraged Lu Yangsheng to return to the town.

"No, no."

Lu Yangsheng decisively refused.

"If you want to go back, go back by yourself, and I still have to keep filial piety."

After Lu Yangsheng finished speaking, he went back to the house to sleep.

Jiang Guining saw that Lu Yangsheng had gone back, so he smacked his mouth and went back, keeping muttering the words "it's a pity" in his mouth.

After Lu Yangsheng returned to the house, although he closed his eyes, he couldn't fall asleep, so he didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep.

No one knew that when Jiang Guining pointed out the direction of the fire for Lu Yangsheng, a very small wisp of aura flashed from his fingertips, and he arrived in the town in a blink of an eye, and no one knew that when Lu Yangsheng was asleep, a wisp of black gas quietly crept into the wooden house where he was sleeping, but it was blown away by Jiang Guining's sneezing.

At this time, it was late at night, except for the Li family ancestral hall still had lights and screams, there was no sound in the whole town, and everyone was waiting for the dawn.
