Chapter VII: The Thirty Limits
The patriarch of the Li clan also looks very good, and it should be said that none of the Li clansmen that Jinyunlan has seen in the past few days are not good-looking.
This patriarch looks to be about thirty, in the prime of life, with black hair, and he can't find a single white hair when he squints closely. Not to mention the delicate skin radiance, even the fine lines at the corners of the eyes are not obvious. At most, it's just a lack of energy, and it seems that I've stayed up all night and is a little haggard and tired.
There were no bloody wounds on his body. If it is said that it is an internal injury, it is still possible. However, internal injuries will be obvious, and there is no possibility that the physical condition will still look normal in the case of a serious illness.
It's weird. He is clearly not sick or sick, why is everyone looking sad that he is about to return to the West.
The patriarch of the Li clan was lying on the sickbed, calling Li Yi's name angrily.
Li Yi stepped forward on his knees, shook his hand, and responded mournfully, "Father." ”
The patriarch of the Li clan pinched his palm weakly, and said softly and comfortingly: "Xiao Yu, there is always such a day, don't be too sad." For us Lai, we are even more accustomed to seeing life and death. Since the day we settled in the empty mountain. Thousands of years have passed, and the population of the Jiuli tribe is only 100 households. In my short life, I have not achieved anything like the patriarchs of the past. Although I have the heart to change the fate of the Li family, in the end, I am not able to do it, and I can only watch the children of the Li family starve and suffer from hunger and cold. At this point, he coughed, and two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
The woman next to him held his hand tightly, and even forgot to wipe away her tears.
Li Yi lowered his head sadly.
The patriarch of the Li clan gently cupped his face, looked at him tenderly, and his voice was full of hope: "Xiao Yu, I know that you have always hated Jinyun. They have deceived us into the empty mountain with false intentions, and they have constantly fabricated incidents to smear us and make the world hate and hate us, so as to achieve their goal of imprisoning and persecuting us openly. These thousands of years of hatred are rooted in the hearts of every Li clansman. But I still want to persuade you not to let hatred be the only reason to drive you to act. This can lead to a lot of pain in our short lives. ”
Li Yi shook his head: "Father, your heart is too soft. Rather than waiting for them to sincerely repent, it is better to conquer by force. If the Li clan can make a tough plan as soon as possible, they will attack the empty mountain together and disrupt Los Angeles. We are not where we are today. ”
The patriarch of the Li clan replied: "The Li clan has been isolated from the world for too long. Once we break out of the siege and are known by the people of the world that the Li clan has reappeared, the people below will be united in hatred and hatred, and they will twist into a rope to fight us. Our situation will only get worse, and it is not even known that we will end sooner. The Li clan is no longer the Jiuli tribe of the past. ”
Li Yi bowed his head and replied, "We have long been at the end of our rope. Li Shi has no hope in front of him, it is better to fight his way out of the encirclement and fight with his life. We will eventually sink into the loess with hatred, and even the judgment of time will abandon us. ”
The patriarch of the Li clan suddenly breathed sharply, as if he was trying his best to delay the swallowing of the last breath, he grabbed Li Yi's hand, and said urgently: "You have been gifted since you were a child, and you are the strongest person in our Li clan since you Li greedy. Your presence has strengthened my conviction that the tragic fate of Le Thi will be halted in your hands. So, Xiao Yu, from this moment on, you will be the new patriarch of the Li clan. I entrust everything to you. ”
The Li clan patriarch stretched out a finger and pointed at the center of his eyebrows. Silent words came from his serene expression and calm gaze.
"In this world, if you join for a long time, you will divide for a long time, and you will be together for a long time. No one or thing is perpetually opposed. And Jinyun may not all be hard-hearted people. There may have been people on the other side of the chasm of fate who have been waiting for a long time. ”
His wandering gaze suddenly converged in one place.
Li Yan followed his gaze and looked back.
Jin Yunlan appeared among them at some point, she stood there with her hair disheveled, her face as pale as paper, and her uncontrollable sympathy and self-reproach alternated on her face.
When Li Yi looked back, his father had fallen into a deep sleep forever.
"Father, father!" Li Yi shouted, and the tears he was holding back still fell.
The woman lay on his creeping corpse, which was getting cold.
The man kneeling outside heard his shouts and wept again.
Jin Yunlan was stung in her heart by the tears on Li Yan's face for some reason, and the words she was about to say choked in her throat again. Surrounded by whimpering and wailing, she couldn't help but cry.
"What are you going to do?" Li Yan forcibly endured the roar of rage, and the excessive suppression made his voice extremely low and hoarse.
When Jin Yunlan heard this, she was a little overwhelmed: "He has no internal or external injuries, so there is no reason for him to die at this age." ”
Li Yan's scarlet eyes seemed to look into her heart, and her lips were red and dripping blood. He bit his hatred and said something that shocked her.
"Jinyun has put a blood curse on the Li clan, and no one in the descendants of the Li clan can live past thirty."
She froze in place, her heart full of mixed feelings, and let Li Yi cry bitterly in front of her enemy.
The night is urging change, and the east is white. It was the first glimmer of morning light she had seen on the empty mountain, and it was very dazzling.
She sat on a stone bench far away from the crowd in a daze. Seeing the Li clan people bury their former patriarch in a hurry. There were no wreaths, lanterns, no mourning music, and even the cemetery was a pit dug in the future. Everyone just wept silently as they watched their people leave.
In such a sad atmosphere, they couldn't help but think of themselves, whether they were going to die soon.
Jinyunlan's encounters in the sky mountain in the past two days made her feel suffocated. Over the years, her community has been so friendly and harmonious. Under the leadership of Jinyun, the people of Los Angeles lived and worked in peace and contentment and prospered. She has also grown up in the care of her parents, although the old guys in the clan association dislike her as a woman, but in the eyes of her father, she has always been treated the same as her younger siblings, and sometimes even more partial to her.
How did she know that the Li clan patriarch held a funeral so sloppy, and it was not as grand as her tenth birthday. Is it that they are used to parting with life and death, or that they simply don't have the ability to bury their relatives in a grand funeral.
And who is responsible for this?
Who is it that makes Li resentful?
Is it really Jinyun?
Is it a friendly and harmonious group that she grew up in?
Are those generous smiles really hiding needles in them?
She was at a loss, rubbing her long hair indiscriminately, not knowing what to do.
At that time, the sky was bright, and there was a dark and inexplicable blue and white between heaven and earth. Consummation just came out of the bamboo forest.
Jinyunlan asked her where she had gone, and she replied that she had gone to check the barrier that surrounded the empty mountain. When she saw that there was no joy on her face, she guessed that the success of this escape was not high.
She said weakly: "That's it, help me back to the house to rest." I was tired all night, and I was very tired. ”
With a full bow, he stepped forward to hold her tired and weak body steadily, and took the initiative to enter the cell where they were being held.
Jinyunlan lay on the haystack and slept until night, when a kind woman woke her up. Jin Yunlan knew that she was the wife of the former Li clan patriarch and Li Yi's mother. She has a beautiful but dignified face, Li Yi is very similar to her, but at this moment, her lover died suddenly, she was heartbroken, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked very haggard.
She brought clean clothes for her and Consummation, as well as some meager food. When Jin Yunlan reached out to take it, she inadvertently touched her finger, which was as cold as frost, which was simply amazing.
Li Mu noticed her surprise, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am twenty-nine years old this year, and in half a year, I will die." ”
Jin Yunlan chuckled in her heart, and her eyes dimmed.
"Don't tell Xiaotang and Xiaoyu, I lied to them that I was only twenty-eight." A helpless smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
Jinyunlan's nose suddenly became sore, and she grabbed her hand that was about to leave, and took the opportunity to take her pulse. If the internal organs are really exhausted, there is a sign of the end, but the appearance is no different from ordinary people.
Li Mu put her long hair in a simple low bun for her, and plucked a simple hairpin from her head to fix her hair bun.
"That's it." As she spoke, she stroked her cheek, "Ah, you look like ...... like this."
"Like Li Qiang's mother, right?" Jin Yunlan said preemptively.
Li Mu pondered for a moment and nodded: "Indeed, it's like." Eat something and then sleep, it's not easy to recover when you're hungry. ”
Jinyunlan obediently bowed her head and watched her leave.
She absentmindedly nibbled on dry food while pondering. She looked down at the mottled wound on her waist, the pain from the piercing of the Li Greedy Sword still lingering in her body.
She took off her tattered hospital uniform and changed into Lai's costume without hesitation. She quietly opened the door and went out, leaving Cheng Cheng alone in the house to sleep soundly.
She carried the hem of her skirt to Li Yan's door, and there was only Li's mother who had just arrived at home with her front foot. She politely asked her where Li Yi was, and Li Mu looked at her in surprise, almost stunned, and it took a while to come to her senses, lower her head, and hide her expression.
"Xiao Gardenia should be in the ancestral hall, you see this is the room." She pulled her to the door and pointed out to a huge house.
After thanking her hurriedly, Jinyunlan staggered towards the place.
At this time, Li Yi and her colleagues happened to be discussing how to deal with her and Chengcheng.
Li Tang believes that Jinyun Lan has a special identity, and may be able to stay until the Li clan starts a war with Jinyun, and then use this woman's life to hold Jinyun's actions hostage.
Li Yi disagreed, and said decisively: "Jinyunlan's strength is unfathomable, and she will inevitably have a lot of dreams at night, so it is better to get married early while she is seriously injured at this time." If we wait for her to recover, regain her strength, and collude with Jinyun inside and outside, we will not suffer from the enemy. ”
Everyone also felt that what they said was reasonable, so they did not speak again, but just acquiesced.
Jinyunlan herself outside the door couldn't help but gasp when she heard this.
This Li Yu is really a femme fatale.
Staring at her life all day long, tsk.
"Who's eavesdropping?" Li Yan slammed the door. With a wave of his hand, the door opened inward, revealing a slender figure.
