"It's because he's cruel enough."

Before Li Tongya's words fell, Li Changhu only felt a chill creeping up his spine, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his hair stood on end. He stared at his brother's smiling face, and his heart was awe-inspiring.

"Hahahahaha..."

Pushing Li Changhu's shoulder, Li Tongya gently threw the wooden slip in his hand and looked at Li Changhu with a chuckle.

"You kid."

Li Changhu let out a sigh, only when Li Tongya was joking, he waved his hand lightly and said:

"I'm going to prepare for Xiang Ping's wedding."

Li Changhu straightened his clothes and walked out of the door to Tian's house.

Li Tongya restrained his smile, sat quietly at the wooden table, and said:

"Father."

But seeing that Li Mutian was already standing on the stone steps unconsciously, he didn't know what he was thinking with a straight face, and looked at Li Tongya when he heard the words.

Li Mutian was sitting in front of the door last night and looking at the moon, when he saw Li Xiangping rushing to the back mountain in a hurry, he couldn't rest assured, and quietly followed the child up the back mountain.

Who knew that Li Tongya was also relieved of his younger brother, and secretly followed, the two met for a while, and watched Li Xiangping kill people with tacit understanding, and watched the beasts eat cleanly, and Li Mutian went down the mountain.

"Xiang Ping is also out of the safety of the family, and my father doesn't have to be angry..."Li Tongya comforted.

"I'm angry!"

Li Mutian was depressed in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to his words anymore, he squinted his eyes, and said again:

"It's good for Gua Wazi to kill that waste, if he just threatens, Lao Tzu will jump down and cut down that waste! Kill well, kill well! What is Lao Tzu angry about? You don't have to cover up for Li Changhu! ”

Li Tongya sighed and said sullenly:

"The eldest brother is generous and kind, and the villagers and tenants respect him, and he can protect the family business."

"Fart!" Li Mutian slapped the table, and his face was a little more angry:

"They respect me Li Mutian! Surrounding your brother is just Li Changhu's rent is low! These people have always been afraid of power and immorality, you look at him like this, as soon as I, Li Mutian, dies today, Li Yesheng will dare to roll around tomorrow, and he Li Changhu will dare to kill him? ”

Seeing that Li Tongya bowed his head and was silent, Li Mutian's tone softened a lot, and he said in a low voice:

"In the past, I was not afraid, with you two brothers, Li Changhu's generosity is the best, and the future is promising. But now it's different, my Li family is guilty of it, walking on thin ice, if the person in charge is not ruthless enough, he will easily perish! ”

"Again." Li Mutian took a breath, his eyes worried and uneasy:

"In the past few days, my heart has always fallen and restless, and I am afraid that I will be killed."

————

Li Changhu went to Tian's house to set many matters of the marriage contract, sat on the field in a daze, with a complicated expression, he walked around the village, but he didn't see Li Yesheng.

Recalling his brother's low shout and Li Tongya's hint last night, Li Changhu knew that Ye Sheng had probably been killed by Xiang Ping.

Li Changhu felt a pain in his heart, when he was a child, Ye Sheng and Tongya's little two always obediently followed him down to the river to catch fish.

He vaguely remembered that Sheng Er was holding a big herring and shouting with a smile: "Brother, brother, look at me!" Tongya was obviously envious, but he always turned his head and pouted not to look at him. When the three of them were tired of playing, they stood by the river to pee, peeing higher and farther than whom.

It's just that later his aunt died, and the second uncle was also sick in bed, Ye Sheng's temperament changed greatly in just a few months, and he was no longer the same as before.

"That's not the end of the crime!"

The corners of Li Changhu's eyes were a little shining, and he always felt that he could persuade him again, let him learn well, seriously protect his younger brother Ye Sheng, and live well.

"Long Lake!"

A call woke up Li Changhu, and he hurriedly lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, looking at the place where the voice came out.

But he was a white-haired old farmer, honest and honest, with dark skin, wearing a homespun coat and wide trousers.

"Uncle Xu." Li Changhu stood up and patted his trouser leg and asked with concern:

"How is it, is there enough food at home?"

"Enough is enough!"

Xu Laohan saw Li Changhu's tears coming down, he was still healthy when he was old, but the only eldest son in the family couldn't afford to be sick, and he couldn't even plant the fields.

Li Changhu reduced the rent for him and sent him food, so he barely survived, Xu Laohan was an elder who watched Li Changhu grow up, and he regarded him as a child, and he was already very grateful after such a journey.

"You're welcome!"

Li Changhu has quickly walked out of his sadness, and said:

"My father also asked me to take more care of Xu Lao's field a few days ago, so I will come here."

Xu Laohan has become a fine man, how can he not know that Li Changhu is giving Li Mutian a favor, he smiled, arched his hand at Li Changhu, and said with a smile:

"Thank you for me! This is what Uncle Xu's family inherited. ”

"Eh, where can I say that I should do it!" Li Changhu waved his hand.

The two were chatting on the field, but Li Xiangping carried a cloth bag to the edge of the reeds and silently looked at Li Yesheng who was sitting on the shore.

Li Yesheng was counting with his fingers and muttering to himself:

"I went to the third uncle the day before yesterday, and the uncle I went to the day before yesterday, and the fourth uncle kicked me out yesterday, and today I can only cook some wild vegetables, catch some shrimp, cook soup and drink."

He looked at the undulating reeds in front of him, the place where he was born and raised, if it weren't for this generous reed, he Li Yesheng would have not known where he died.

"And the uncle's family." He thought silently, but saw a figure emerge from the reeds.

"Brother Xiang Ping!"

Li Yesheng stood up in surprise, since the main house built a high courtyard, Li Xiangping does not often come out and walk around, it is said that he studies in the courtyard all day long, and Li Yesheng can only meet him when he goes to the master's house for dinner.

"Come on, come on."

Li Xiangping smiled and took out a white bun from the cloth bag and handed it to him, Li Yesheng hurriedly took it, gobbled it up, and said vaguely:

"Brother is the best for me!"

"Hahaha."

Li Xiangping and Li Yesheng got along closely, and when he was a child, he secretly gave Li Yesheng things to eat.

"Come on." Li Xiangping's expression was a little complicated, he stuffed the cloth bag into Li Yesheng's hand, and said:

"These are my enlightened readings, and you can read more of them when you usually put ducks."

"Thank you, brother!"

Li Yesheng was moved, bowed and washed his hands with river water, and then carefully put away the cloth bag.

"In a few days, I will go to my father, let him talk to my husband, and go to him to read more books when I have nothing to do on weekdays, and if I have any doubts, you can ask us."

"How embarrassing is that!"

Li Yesheng was pleasantly surprised, postponed again and again, uneasy and expectant in his heart, and waved his hand again and again.

"I heard that my brother won't give me money when I have to pay for studying."

Li Xiangping looked at him for a while, and said lightly: "We don't have to do this between us, I will pay it for you when I go to ask my father." ”

"This..."

Li Yesheng still wanted to say something, looking at Li Xiang's flat expression, a wave of awe rose for no reason, and he secretly said in his heart:

"Brother Xiang Ping seems to be an uncle!"

Li Xiangping didn't know what Li Yesheng was thinking, patted him on the shoulder, told him about studying, and went home.

ps: It's really not in the water, I feel that the progress is a little fast, and I use Li Yesheng to enrich the three-dimensional image of the protagonists
