Chapter 15 Refugees
Lu Jiangxian has been familiar with it for several months, and has thoroughly absorbed the power of jade, and he has already been able to use the illusion trick recorded in the "Taiyin Tu Na Yang Wheel Sutra" to communicate with the Li family.
But he thought that the time was not ripe enough, and he never showed his senses, but lay quietly in the ancestral hall like a dead thing.
After all, the Li family is not stupid, maybe this mirror is very high, but he, Lu Jiangxian, is really a cultivator.
At this time, he not only had to make up some life experiences, but also to answer the doubts of the Li family, which was full of flaws.
Fortunately, now his divine sense is more than enough to cover the entire Li family, and it is quite comfortable to sleep on weekdays and watch a TV series when he wakes up.
Only the occasional breath flying over the Guli Road would wake Lu Jiangxian up, making him feel the majestic or light breath in his heart, silently shrinking his divine consciousness into a ball.
Although the Li family made up the Lu Jiang Immortal Brain into an immortal artifact, he still has a spectrum of his combat effectiveness - the second layer of the fetal breath is the foundation of the Chengming Wheel, and the fourth layer of the fetal breath Qingyuan Wheel is considered to be the top of the sky.
Comparing himself with those majestic breaths that Lu Jiangxian felt like a man on his back when he shrunk in the mirror, he still felt that he could be a little more cautious and talk about it for a hundred and eighty years.
"It's just that why are there refugees coming on the Guli Road?" he muttered to himself, confused.
————
Li Changhu led a group of villagers to hold torches, fork hoes and other tools, and stood at the entrance of the village to confront a group of ragged refugees.
In the past few days, Xiang Ping and Tian Yun have only finished their family affairs, and Li Changhu has taken time to cultivate, but he saw a tenant of the Li family hurriedly coming to report, saying that there was a group of refugees at the entrance of the village.
"Refugees?"
The refugees Li Changhu recently met were also more than three years ago, and they were a group of people surnamed Chen who had turned over Meiqi Mountain. In recent years, the climate has been good, and the Meiqi River is good at raising people, and there are not necessarily any people who can't survive in the upper and lower basins.
"They claimed to be from Guridao." When the tenant saw Li Changhu, he seemed to have found the backbone of his heart, and replied respectfully.
"How is that possible..."
Li Changhu thought about it for a few breaths, waved his hand, walked to the door, and said:
"Father has already fallen asleep, don't bother him, call Uncle Ueda and Uncle Ren, let's go and see."
When Li Changhu walked to the entrance of the village, Liu Linfeng, the head of another big family in Lijing Village, was already waiting at the entrance of the village with a dry cigarette, and when he saw Li Changhu, he said with a smile:
"Long Lake is coming."
"Uncle."
Li Changhu also nodded, Liu Linfeng is his mother Liu Linyun's own brother, when Li Mutian killed the big family and divided the land, Liu Linfeng's father fell in love with this young man at a glance, and married Liu Linyun against public opinion and married the Li family.
Li Changhu and Liu Linfeng led people to shout three times to the refugees, and the refugees finally brought out a middle-aged man, although this person was black and ragged, but he was quite generous in his gestures.
The middle-aged man arched his hand, looked at the two of them with a wry smile and said:
"The contemptible people were originally the principals of the caravan on the Xia Li Road, the Wu State in the south laid down the Jingxia City, and the whole Xia Li Road was surrounded by swords and soldiers, and the chickens and dogs were restless, I was robbed on the road, and escaped among the refugees.
"This section of Guli Road is in disrepair, wild beasts are rampant, and you just come here?"
Liu Linfeng asked suspiciously.
"Since a lot of people have died, the old people and children have all died." The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
The representatives of the two big households were inquiring about each other's details, and the old man Xu in the crowd was holding a braided grass cricket in one hand and a hoe in the other, squinting at the refugees.
He lived at the entrance of the village, and was woken up by the refugees early in the morning, and when he heard that Li Changhu was also coming, Xu Laohan hurriedly took the grass crickets that he had knitted a few days ago, and prepared to bring them to the unborn child in Ren's womb.
Now he was attracted by a young man among the refugees, who was dressed in rags, with a wrap of animal skin coiled around his waist, and his eyes were like flames staring at Li Changhu and Liu Linfeng above.
"These eyes are familiar." Old man Xu touched his pale beard, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Listen to me, everybody!"
Liu Linfeng called the refugees, took a step forward, and shouted:
"I am the patriarch of the Liu family in the village, there is still a lot of wasteland in Lijing Village to be cultivated, if you are willing, my Liu family can provide you with food and utensils this year, and the reclaimed land will be counted as my Liu family's rent to everyone, and only 30% of the rent will be collected."
Li Changhu, as a junior, stood half a step behind Liu Linfeng, and also promised:
"So is my Li family."
When the young man among the refugees heard this, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Changhu's face, his eyes staring at him like flames for a few seconds, and then he lowered his head quickly and satisfied.
It took a lot of effort for Xu Laohan to squeeze to the front of the crowd and look at the refugees carefully, but he couldn't find the young man.
Turning his head, he saw that the young man had already squeezed into the front position among the refugees, only a few positions away from the position where Li Changhu and Liu Linfeng were standing.
The middle-aged man who was standing beside the two of them glanced at him, and said strangely in his heart:
"What sharp eyes, are there such characters among the refugees? We have been eating and living together for three months, and I have never seen this person. ”
"You can drink wine and eat meat, get married, and have children in Lijing Village, but you must not steal or commit adultery......
Liu Linfeng was admonishing everyone, but the uneasiness in Xu Laohan's heart became stronger and stronger, he watched the young man fly out, knelt down in front of Liu Linfeng, and wept with a whimper.
"The villain's whole family was attacked by swords, only one villain escaped, and after traveling thousands of miles, he met two adults to take him in, and the villain was grateful! Those who dare to do those shameless things here! ”
He cried so sadly, and the refugees behind him also aroused their sadness, and they all cried loudly, crying all over the place for a while, and Liu Linfeng couldn't help but be moved.
Xu Laohan looked at the young man's exposed ankle on his knees, his scarred left foot sticking out of the tattered trouser tube, and there were several black moles on the ankle joint.
A sense of familiarity came to mind, and he blushed as if he was drunk, staring at the young man warily.
Li Changhu behind him couldn't bear it anymore, he looked at the young man kneeling on the ground with pity, took half a step forward, and leaned over to help him.
Xu Laohan's mind exploded, and his eyes were blank, as if he had returned to that afternoon more than 20 years ago.
His old Xu was still a tenant in the Yuan family, the golden rice fields were undulating in the autumn wind, and the woman came to the field with her child in her arms, and he bowed down and said auspicious words:
"Looking at this mole on the child's foot, he must be able to do great things!"
"Wait!!"
Old Man Xu stretched his waist vigorously and bowed for more than twenty years, raised his head and glared angrily.
"Wait!"
But he heard the same voice not far away, drinking in unison with him.
It turned out to be a middle-aged man elected by the refugee, who was looking at the young man's face with a look of surprise on his face, and opened his mouth to stop him.
Before the two of them could finish speaking, the young man had raised his head suddenly, and Li Changhu met those eyes unexpectedly.
Those ferocious, sharp, beast-like eyes.
