Chapter 5: The Wall

The quarrel was fierce.

In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, Li Shiyun roared like an angry lion at the animals that invaded his territory.

By the patio, in the wing, next to the flower hall, everything that could be broken was broken, but Li Shiyun's high-raised slap was reluctant to fall on Li Yingniang's pretty face after all.

Li Yingniang stared at her brother fearlessly, her beautiful eyes showed an incomparably determined light, which was the only dawn left in her life.

Li Changsheng stood outside the arch of the backyard, like a spear that would rather not bend. The fierce quarrel between the brother and sister in the backyard, he didn't seem to hear a word.

In front of Li Shixian, he will always be a loyal warrior.

A warrior must have an iron will, and steel, there should be no feelings.

No one noticed the look of pain that flashed in his eyes from time to time.

He's not steel after all, he's a living man.

"Li Yingniang, your brother is not dead yet, it is not your turn to call the shots!" Li Shiyun gasped and said angrily.

"If you want me to marry, I'll die. If the Fan Yang Lu family doesn't dislike it, then marry my corpse back! Li Yingniang said fearlessly.

Li Shiyun gritted his teeth: "The son-in-law of the wealthy family in Shandong, isn't he worthy of you?" ”

Li Yingniang replied firmly: "Yes, not worthy!" ”

Li Shiyun laughed angrily: "Are you more expensive than a princess?" In the whole world, who can be worthy of you? ”

Li Yingniang said bravely: "I am the only one who is a good match in this life, his name is Li Changsheng!" ”

The air was instantly silent.

Li Shiyun stared at her dumbfounded, for a long time, and said in disbelief: "Who? ”

The words were clear, but Li Yingniang had no scruples, and she even smiled.

"My good partner is Li Changsheng, my brother's personal guard, Li Changsheng!"

Every word she spoke slowly, clearly, loudly and with dignity.

Li Shiyun gasped and said in shock: "When and when will you two ...... How can it be! Yingniang, don't fool me! ”

Li Yingniang didn't say anything, but Li Shiyun saw the light in her eyes.

It was a light that lasted until death.

Li Shiyun understood, and then, endless shame and anger surged in his heart.

"Li, long, sheng!" Li Shixian's eyes cracked, and his teeth were about to crush: "Come out!" ”

Li Changsheng appeared in the backyard, still standing tall like a javelin, looking directly into Li Shixian's angry eyes with an expressionless face.

"You and Yingniang,...... When? Li Shiyun's cannibalistic eyes stared at him.

Li Changsheng didn't know how to answer.

He didn't know when, since he rescued her in the drizzle of Qingming, he and her seemed to have returned to their innocent youth.

Affection happened naturally.

However, he and her still didn't pierce the last layer of window paper.

I didn't expect that the moment of the piercing was actually at this moment.

She, after all, is braver than him.

How can he be inferior to her?

"General, everything is the fault of the villain, me and Miss...... Hit it off. Li Changsheng said the bravest sentence in his life.

Li Shiyun was stunned for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and in the violent laughter, there was a bang, and the knife was out of the sheath.

The white pi lian was mixed with anger, and slashed at the top of Li Changsheng's head mercilessly.

The corners of Li Changsheng's eyes jumped slightly.

He caught the drill accurately, and he was able to dodge it, but he still stood still like a javelin.

He was ashamed of the great general, and he was willing to die.

Closing his eyes and waiting for the moment when his head was different, he suddenly felt a lightness on his waist, and there was another sound of drawing a knife, a bang, and the gold and iron struck, shaking the eardrums.

Li Changsheng opened his eyes, but saw that Li Yingniang was holding a knife in both hands, which happened to block the knife that Li Shisheng slashed down.

Chapter 6: Obsession

The brother and sister held knives against the wall, and the black clouds of the Li family pressed on the top.

"Li Yingniang, do you dare to knife your brother?" The furious Li Shiyun calmed down.

The calmer it is, the more the storm is brewing.

At this moment, he is no longer the elder brother of the Li family, but a decisive general.

Li Yingniang stared at him fearlessly: "Li Shixian, don't hurt my man!" ”

Li Changsheng knelt down towards Li Shixian: "General, the villain is willing to accept the death and apologize!" ”

"Shut up!" Li Yingniang shouted angrily.

Li Shixian's eyes were cold: "Li Changsheng, you said it yourself, kill yourself." ”

Li Yingniang suddenly drew her knife and retreated, the blade of the knife in her hand turned, and her backhand was on her neck.

"Li Changsheng, you and I will die together!" Li Yingniang's decisiveness even scared Li Shixian.

said that death would be death, Li Yingniang struggled to wipe it off her neck.

There was another crunch.

Li Shixinge opened the knife in her hand.

The long knife fell to the ground, and Li Shiyun was disheartened and looked up at the sky.

"Li Yingniang, the things in the world, do you want to do whatever you want? The Son of Heaven can't do whatever he wants, why should you? Li Shiyun was really heartbroken, and even his voice carried the smell of blood bursting out of the wound.

"Brother, in this life, I only want one person's heart, and there is nothing else to do with it."

Li Shiyun looked at Li Changsheng, who was kneeling on the ground and feeling guilty, and his eyes became more and more indifferent.

"Li Changsheng, I treat you well, I regard you as a brother, so you repay me like this?"

Li Changsheng fell to the ground, and his head was knocked out of blood on the ground: "General, the villain is sorry for you!" ”

Li Shiyun sneered: "Yingniang loves you, do you dare to marry her?" She is Cao Guogong's own sister, what are you? ”

Li Changsheng couldn't answer, but Li Yingniang continued: "He's my man, that's all." ”

Li Shiyun closed his eyes and sighed for a long time, shook his head gloomily, and waved his hand weakly at the two.

"Get out! Life...... You and I will never see each other again. ”

should be angry, should be punished, after all, it is forgiven.

Blood relatives, Pao Ze brothers, even if Yingniang doesn't block that knife, he can't cut it.

…………

Jingyang County, Taiping Village.

The name is "Taiping", and the people who have suffered from the war hope for peace.

The Tang Dynasty was founded, the smoke and dust of the 36 roads were annihilated, and the world was finally peaceful.

A strange couple inexplicably settled here.

The world was settled, and there were many displaced people, and when the couple came here, no one interrogated, because most of the people in the village fled from the end of the Sui Dynasty.

So, the couple stayed.

It is very close to Chang'an City, only about 60 miles, and it can be reached in an hour by horse.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wude was crowned a meritorious hero, and after Li Shichang surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he followed Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to continue the southern and northern wars, and leveled Song Jingang, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande......

After returning to the account of King Qin, Li Shiyun seemed to have bloomed the true brilliance of his life, one merit after another, cities and lands, and he was conquering non-stop.

Li Shiyun is becoming more and more dazzling, while Li Yingniang and Li Changsheng have returned to the ordinary.

The two are just an ordinary farmer couple in Taiping Village.

Thankfully, the rest of my life is long.

Thankfully, they fell in love.

Two grass houses, a yard, a few free-range chickens and ducks, and two acres of thin fields.

The love of husband and wife is nothing ugly.

It's just that I don't know when it started, Li Yingniang fell in love with drinking.

For farmers, wine is a luxury, and even the worst quality mash is not something they can afford to drink.

Fortunately, Li Yingniang left with some jewelry and valuable things.

Li Changsheng said that he would exchange it for a few more acres of fertile land, and also teach his children and grandchildren to have a family property.

Li Yingniang said, no, her children and grandchildren have the calamity and blessings of her children and grandchildren, she doesn't care, she doesn't have the ability to starve to death.

So, the jewelry and valuable things brought out were exchanged for wine and entered Li Yingniang's belly.

Chapter 7: Life and Death

Li Yingniang drank more and more alcohol, and more and more.

Of course, I don't dare to drink it every day, and no matter how much money I bring out, I can't support it.

The first and fifteenth days of each month are the days when Li Yingniang drinks.

On this day, Li Changsheng would end his farm work early, go down to the river to touch two fish, or catch a net of live shrimp, cook it in the pot, put some salt and ginger slices, and it was a delicious appetizer.

Wine and food should be served on the roof, and Li Yingniang likes to drink in a place with a wide view.

After putting down the wine and food, Li Changsheng consciously left, and the time of drinking was Li Yingniang's alone time, and she enjoyed this loneliness.

And Li Changsheng stood in the shadow of the eaves under the house, quietly watching her on the roof.

He knew that they loved each other.

He also knew that the knot in her heart could never be untied.

She likes to sit on the roof and drink, because the roof can see the direction of Chang'an City, and her brother, her former home, is in Chang'an City.

Every year when worshipping her ancestors during the Qingming Festival, she will also drink, half of the altar into the throat, and half of the altar into the earth.

Then she cried bitterly, and after crying, the next day she was a gentle and quiet peasant wife.

After a drunken experience, Li Yingniang's eyes were misty, and she looked affectionately at the man in front of her who she was willing to abandon everything and stay with him.

"Li Changsheng, this name is not good, is it good to forget it? Once just like the previous life, we have forgotten that we love each other well and live a good life. ”

Li Changsheng grinned innocently, stroked a strand of messy hair on her forehead, and her eyes were full of her.

"Okay."

"In the future, you will be called Li Daozheng."

"Okay, call it anything."

…………

Life and death always alternate wonderfully, in cycles.

The seventh year of Wude is a great catastrophe for husband and wife, and it is also the birth of a new life.

I don't know if it was because the drinking broke my body, Li Yingniang was in pain during childbirth.

Wen Po went in and out with hot water, her expression grim.

Li Daozheng paced back and forth in the courtyard helplessly, scared and joyful.

In the middle of the night, a loud cry pierced the silence of the night.

Li Daozheng stood up in surprise and couldn't help but want to rush into the house.

However, after the joy, the catastrophe finally came.

Wen Po ran out in a panic and said in a lost voice: "Maternal hemorrhage, I can't stop it!" ”

Li Daozheng was stunned for a moment, then rushed in with all his might, kneeling in front of Yingniang's bed and crying silently.

"The child is born, you can't have anything, you can't leave me, the child can't be without a mother......" Li Daozheng looked frightened, this life is just the end, how can he bear to bear the halfway life and death.

Yingniang trembled, and her face was as white as a lantern hanging on the mourning hall.

"I, let me ...... Take a look at ......" Yingniang said intermittently.

Li Daozheng understood what she meant, and hugged the infant child who was crying with his mouth open in front of her.

Yingniang tried to squeeze out a smile: "Fortunately...... Like me. ”

"Daozheng, raise our children."

Raising her hand with great effort, Yingniang stroked Li Daozheng's vicissitudes of cheek and said, "In the past few years, you have aged a lot...... I'm sorry, for the rest of my life...... You've got to work hard, I'm so tired......"

A dying smile does not mean beauty.

The cry of a newborn is not a sign of sadness.

If there is love in the sky, the sky will be old.

The next day, on a flat wasteland more than ten miles away from Taiping Village, a new grave stood lonely in an overgrown field.

A pair of stone horses are erected in front of the tomb, and the direction of the tombstone at the head of the tomb is towards Chang'an City.

It's overdone, Li Daozheng doesn't care, and he doesn't understand.

Li Daozheng was holding his newborn child and knelt in front of the grave for a long time and was reluctant to leave. It wasn't until the child was hungry and crying that Li Daozheng wiped away his tears and left slowly.

Back in Taiping Village, Li Daozheng was wandering in front of a farmer's house that had just given birth to a baby, looking helpless like the eyebrows and eyes of Yingniang when he first saw him when he was young.

The farmer's door opened, and the farmer came out with a worn-out clay bowl in both hands, and the milk in the bowl was freshly squeezed.

Li Daozheng clumsily and carefully fed the newborn child a mouthful, and the child squeezed hard while eating.

He still doesn't understand the joys and sorrows of the world.

"Poor baby...... I was born without a mother. Zhuang Hu looked at the lovely child, and couldn't help but raise his sleeves to wipe the tears of sympathy: "In the future, when the child is hungry, come to my house, as long as the mother-in-law is not weaned, there will be a baby to eat." ”

"There are two families in the village who have just given birth to babies, and everyone will help them, and they will never be hungry for babies."

"Thank you." Li Daozheng thanked him awkwardly.

"Did you get a name? Ask a gentleman to pinch his birthday and approve a good name. "Zhuang Hu said.

Li Daozheng's eyes were red, and he choked up: "I took it, his mother took it before she died, and it was called Li Su." ”
