Chapter 4 Li Yesheng
"Uncle spare his life!"
The man was so frightened that he began to beg for mercy as soon as he landed, hugging Li Mutian and shrinking into a ball.
"Ahh Spare your life, uncle, uncle..."
Li Yesheng never thought that he just wanted to steal melons to satisfy his hunger, and in the blink of an eye, the uncle he was most afraid of was standing in front of him, so scared that he couldn't move, who knew that Li Mutian was still holding a long knife in one hand, which made him even more heartbroken.
"Ye Sheng?" Li Mutian looked at it fixedly, frowned, his face was cloudy, and the beard touching his chin looked at him fixedly.
Li Yesheng is Li Yesheng's elder brother, their father has been sick in bed for many years, but Li Yesheng is idle all day long, playing the autumn breeze everywhere.
The two teenagers also rushed over when they heard the sound, and Li Tongya's long stick was lifted and pressed directly on Li Yesheng's arm, which frightened him into tears. Li Changhu picked up his head and looked at it, and couldn't help but be moved.
"Cousin?" Li Changhu let out a sigh of relief and asked suspiciously.
"Why are you here?" Li Tongya asked coldly, the strength of the long stick in his hand was undiminished.
"I'm here to steal your melons!" Looking at Li Yesheng's hesitant appearance, Li Mutian answered for him with a cold face, put away the long knife in his hand, turned his head and left.
"Cousin, offended."
Li Tongya also retracted his stick, threw down a sentence and followed his father back to the house. Only Li Changhu was left to help Li Yesheng up, wiped his face for him, comforted him a few words of gentleness, and politely sent him out of the courtyard.
————
in the house.
Li Qijing and Li Xiangping sat at the table in a daze, Jianzi was hidden in his arms, Li Xiangping didn't dare to move, but fortunately, his father and second brother walked into the hall after a while.
"Where's the big brother?"
He looked behind them and hurriedly asked.
"Sent off."
Li Mutian shook his head
"I know that Ye Sheng, this kid often comes to fight the autumn wind, but I'm afraid that tonight's incident will leak out and make the whole family disappear."
Li Tongya found a small stool and sat down, and when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Li Xiangping, and was about to speak.
"Crunch."
The door closed with a sound, and the eldest brother Li Changhu looked puzzled, sat down on the stool, and spoke to his father Li Mutian.
"Father, why bother?"
He shook his head.
"Ye Sheng is just stealing a melon, you don't do it, you want to offend his family."
"What is his family, my family, there is only one Li family, my sister-in-law"
Li Mutian leaned against the window and beckoned to the woman and young son: "You squat at the front door and the back door, and someone will call." ”
The two of them should have withdrew, Li Mutian turned around and closed the doors and windows, and patted Li Xiangpingdao
"You say!"
Li Xiangping nodded vigorously and said in a small voice:
"Today I went to the Meiqi River to catch fish and picked up something from the river."
After that, he looked at his father Li Mutian, saw him nod, and took out a piece of Jianzi from his arms.
Li Changhu looked at his younger brother, then at his father, took the blue-gray jianzi, and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see the reason.
Li Mutian took Jianzi from his eldest son, looked for the small hole in the roof, moved a stone bench, put Jianzi under it, and squinted at his two sons.
Seeing that the moonlight fluctuated like water, and gathered above the mirror like a milk swallow throwing into the forest, a pale white jewel-like moon halo appeared.
Li Changhu stood up from his chair and stared at the moon halo on Jianzi, and Li Tongya was also moved and stared at Jianzi thoughtfully.
There was a whole time of silence for a cup of tea, and everyone in the Li family stared at Jianzi silently, with different expressions.
Li Xiangping saw this picture for the second time, but he was also shocked and muttered:
"I've never seen anything like this since I was a kid..."
"Haha, don't talk about you, I have never seen such a good thing in you."
Li Mutian chuckled, but he didn't see any smile, but his eyes were fierce.
"I'm afraid it's an immortal thing."
Li Tongya spoke quietly, picked up the long knife and wiped it continuously, he stared at Jianzi as if he was calm, but his trembling hand betrayed his heart.
"The leakage of the news is also the disaster of my family."
Li Changhu kept pacing in the hall, looking anxious and excited.
"If the immortal loses something, and he will cast a spell to find it tomorrow, how can we deal with it?"
Li Tongya stared at his father fixedly, and said without worry.
Li Xiangping nodded, and said with a smile: "Whatever the immortals will reward, my family will be of infinite use." ”
"Fart."
Li Mutian waved his hand, "I heard that there are many immortals who are thirsty for killing, absolutely not!" I don't know how long this Jianzi fell into the water, and I picked it up early if I came to pick it up, and I got mortals like me in that round, and I think that most of the immortals have encountered an accident. ”
Li Changhu was frightened when he heard these rebellious words, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Tongya suddenly realized, and said in a low voice:
"But was seen by Li Yesheng's kid?"
"I showed this to my father in front of the house, and Brother Ye Sheng was in the field at that time." Li Xiangping lowered his eyebrows.
"I'm going to kill him!"
Li Tongya's expression was fierce, he didn't hesitate to put on his rattan robe, picked up the knife and walked out, Li Xiangping saw this look on his brother's face for the first time, and couldn't help but look at it twice.
"Come back!" Li Mutian frowned and called Li Tongya, glanced at Li Xiangping, and saw that he looked panicked.
"Father!" Li Tongya finally became anxious, and he spoke in a tough tone.
"Li Yesheng is unkind, unscrupulous, but he eats inside and out, rather than letting him lose his words and let the news go to cause the disaster of my Li family, it is better to let him die first."
"It seems that the second brother has learned a lot from the gentleman in the village." Li Xiangping thought silently, and lowered his head in shame, his father sent the three of them to study with him, and the two brothers were liked by Mr. Only he was young and ignorant and naughty, and now he can't understand the idioms in his brother's words.
"Then if the younger brother eats inside and out, and his mouth is not strict, you will also kill him?"
Li Mutian laughed and asked his second son.
"We don't have such a bad breed"
Li Tongya said lightly.
Li Mutian shook his head, raised his hand to move the wooden table right, jumped up, and with a light touch on the table, he pulled out a wooden box from the roof beam.
Putting the wooden box on the table, he said to the three brothers in front of him:
"There are some things that you know, I left my hometown at the age of thirteen and entered Anli County along the Guli Road. General Yang received an order from the imperial court to attack Shanyue and recruit troops in Guli Dao, but at that time, your father and I had nowhere to stay, so I had to become a soldier. ”
"General Yang is strict in governing the army, but he also eats and lives with me, like a family. He passed on the tactics of our Vietnamese soldiers and told me to practice martial arts well. This tactic is widely spread, easy to learn and difficult to master, and ordinary people are only vigorous when they practice it, and there is no magic in it. Li Mutian sighed, saw that several people were listening very seriously, and continued:
"After I returned to my hometown, I read and wrote, and I silently wrote the tactics of war in this wooden tablet, and I have asked you to wait for careful practice, and now I don't necessarily have any fame, this is one of them."
Li Mutian opened the wooden box, and there were a wooden tablet, a talisman, a few pieces of broken silver glass and other miscellaneous items lying in the box.
