Chapter 9: Mother and Child
Li Jing exchanged the borrowed silver ticket for loose silver in the money bank, and packed it in a sack that he had found in advance.
"The old man has read countless people, and he has seen many worlds! The boss of Qianzhuang looked at Li Jing and said with emotion.
Turning around the bustling business district, Li Jing came to the settlement of the poor in Guankou, which the rich called "Rat Land" and the poor themselves called "Wanjiadian". ”
In short, the people living here are poor, which can be understood as a slum in the previous life.
As he walked, Li Jing took out some broken silver from the small mouth of the sack, threw it through the various open openings in the slum, and threw it all the way until all the silver was thrown away, and he was almost out of the slum.
At this time, the slums had already exploded.
"There was a bastard who hit me with something today, but luckily I reacted quickly, grabbed the thing that was thrown in, and threw it out of the window. ”
"God, what kind person is it, the child is sick, and he just has no money to get medicine!"
"The God of Gambling has appeared, and this month's gambling debts can be repaid, and there is no need to be chopped off. ”
When Li Jing returned home, it was already dark, and he didn't dare to go in like this, so he found a low place and climbed over the wall.
When he returned to the house, he found that his light was on, and his father Li was sitting there, apparently looking for him.
Li Jing thought to himself: "Oh no, this old man is going to say a few words about me." ”
Li resolutely saw his son come back, so he said straight to the point: "Jing'er, after discussing with your uncle and grandfather, I decided to let you move to the other courtyard of the Li Mansion. You clean up at night and move in tomorrow. ”
"Annex, what kind of place is that? Isn't it nice here?"
"The annex is at the east gate of our Li Mansion, which is an independent residence, and the door of the annex is the downtown area. By the way, your uncle and grandfather will also move in, so that it is convenient to teach you, this young man is honest and steady, and he is your brother, and he will live with you in the future, and there is a little maid who will move over in a few days. ”
Li Jing blinked slyly and said, "Why do you suddenly want me to move out?" ”
Li resolutely scolded: "Nonsense, this is for your better growth, don't call yourself a little idiot." Your words and deeds should be disciplined well. Li Yiran suddenly thought of what Li Jing could learn from living with his uncle who was old and disrespectful in the future! Thinking of this, Li Yiran had a headache.
"Father, I've been shy lately, can I..." Li Jing smiled wryly, looked down at Li Yiran, and rubbed his thumb against four fingers in the expression of money commonly used in his previous life.
Although Li Yiran didn't know what he meant by rubbing his hands, he understood that his son should be short of money to spend, looking at his son's funny appearance, he wanted to laugh a little, and said with a reluctant face: "This is the New Year's money you have received in the past 18 years, I have been keeping it for you, and now I will hand it over to you." ”
Li Jing took a stack of silver tickets in a hurry, and his smiling eyes were about to open.
"Thank you, Father. ”
"The oil cavity is slippery. Hmph..."Li resolutely saw that his son was so happy, and his heart was happy and proud.
He turned around and took a few steps, then turned back and said, "Go see your mother more." With that, he left.
"My good man, so much New Year's money, a total of 2,000 taels. Children from large families are different. Li Jing counted the silver tickets and found that the last one was a list, marking the source of each New Year's money, including his relatives in this world, Ji Chang's two clans, and some surnames and names that had never heard of the name, presumably all relatives and friends.
After a day of hard work, Li Jing moved into the courtyard, although it is called the courtyard, the area is not small, it is very elegant, planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, and there are about 10 houses.
Li Jing's house is next to Li Chongyang's.
In the evening, Li Lao Er came to Li Jing's room.
"Jing'er, how is the cultivation of the Hidden Dragon Technique?" Li Lao Er had a rare serious face.
This made Li Jing a little worried, he was really a little afraid of this Li Er, maybe Li Laoer's discipline of him was a bit like a master in his previous life.
There have been a lot of things happening in the past few days, he really hasn't cultivated very well, and it will be impossible to live in a courtyard in the future, and it will be impossible to be lazy.
Li Lao Er didn't punish him either, and said: "The cultivation of the Blood Pill is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat."
Now, you don't have anything else to disturb, and you can calm down and cultivate.
In a few hundred years, we will all be reduced to dust, and only our family name will live on.
In this world, the strong are kings, the weak will be swallowed up and eaten, the inheritance of a family is in your hands, and you will be motivated when you understand your mission..."
Li Lao Er changed his words and stared at Li Jingdao: "Your mother has not woken up yet, who was he injured by, have you ever cared?"
"I've been to see her, I don't know who the enemy is, but one day, I will find out and avenge this!"
"Okay, then your grandfather is under house arrest far from his family and can't go home, do you care?"
"This..."Li Jingxin said, my grandfather has never seen it, how can I care.
Li Lao Er pressed step by step, and said: "Your father was abolished by someone and the blood pill was like a waste person, have you ever cared?"
"This is what his father-in-law did, and he will seek revenge on Lin Jie in the future. ”
"So, your third uncle lost his childhood sweetheart because of the decline of the family, have you ever cared?"
"The third uncle was originally hurt by love, but I don't know much about this, and I really didn't care about it!" Li Jing remembered that the third uncle's name was Li Jieran, and he didn't know anything else.
Li Lao Er took off his hat, spared his white hair, secretly sad, thinking of his son's determination, he was heartbroken, stabilized his emotions and said: "The three big families have been viciously cursed, and they are destined to be cut off, have you ever cared?"
"Isn't it true that if you recover your sanity, you can pass on the lineage by cultivating the Blood Pill?"
"Innocent, the person who cursed us is extremely powerful, and if you want to break the curse, you must surpass this person in strength!"
Li Jing was stunned, it was the first time he had heard of such an evil curse, and said, "So, my strength in this life can't surpass the person who cursed me, so I can't have children?"
"Yes!"
Li Jing was shocked: "Uncle and grandpa mean that even women can't do that..."
"Not really, it's just that you can't get pregnant. ”
Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"Who is the one who cursed?"
"I don't know!"
“...”
Li Lao Er didn't want to let go of Li Jing, and continued to ask: "Jing'er! You yourself were destroyed by someone at the age of three, and you have been in a mess for 18 years, have you asked, who did this?"
"Isn't that quack doctor Lin Zicong? As for who instructed him, I really don't know. ”
Li Lao Er shook his head, his face was full of disappointment, and said: "Jing'er, now that you have recovered your senses, it's time to take on the burden of the family, but you don't have a sense of urgency at all, uncle and grandfather don't blame you, just worry about you, think about it." ”
Li Jing could only be silent after this series of questions, Li Chongyang did not bother him anymore, leaving Li Jing alone in a daze.
"I am not a person of this world after all, and I can't empathize with what happened, so I naturally don't have that sense of urgency. "A lot of Li Jing's thinking is still left in his previous life, let him completely accept everything in this family at once, he really can't stand it for a while, after all, there is no such emotion in it.
Li Laoer, the Li brothers, and Li Jing regard them more as their friends than relatives.
If he had been living in this world, he should indeed take on the responsibility of this family now.
Unfortunately, he's not.
"What should I do. There is not even a confidant to talk to, so I can only look for it. ”
Li Jinglai came to his own sea of consciousness and told the spirit of the incense burner everything he was distressed about.
Convergence of ideas.
"You have died in your previous life, this is your second life, your parents in this world have given you a physical body, love you, take care of you, and you are fortunate to retain the memories of your past life.
Why not try to think of yourself as a baby with adult memories, the physical body is also a part of your life now, you were born in this place, this is your home, your family, there are people who love you, try to love them. ”
This is the advice given to him by the spirit of the incense burner.
Destined to be a sleepless night, he sat there until daylight.
Li Chongyang didn't bother him.
Li Jing freshened up, left the other hospital, and came to his mother Li's ward, Li was resolutely absent, and Li on the bed was still unconscious, but his face was already ruddy.
With a white cloth still wrapped around his hand, Li Jing gently picked up her hand, remembering that she had blocked herself behind him, and bravely rushed up to grab the assassin's dagger, just to protect his son, at that moment, he was so distressed and wanted to save her.
Li Jing said in his heart: "I have your blood in my body. Not your son, it's your son again. Let's start over, this world, I'm still a baby, and there are many things that need to be perceived and integrated. One day, I will grow up and take on the responsibility of this family. ”
"Jing'er?" Li Shi on the bed opened his eyes at some point and looked at Li Shi in surprise.
"Mother. Li Jing called this mother, and his heart was inexplicably sad, in his previous life, he was blessed to call a woman who loved him a mother.
"Jing'er, you... You've recovered, my Jing'er..."The joy in Lee's heart was indescribable.
Her love for this son is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, her happiest thing is to tell her son stories and tell the past, and her demented son listens carefully with his lap on his pillow.
She really wanted her son to be like a normal person, and when she was telling him a story, she suddenly called "mother".
Just today, she has woken up, but she doesn't dare to open her eyes, she doesn't dare to accept the reality, she is afraid that when she opens her eyes, her husband tells her that her son is dead.
Li Jing's voice made all his worries and worries disappear, and he turned to endless joy, really endless joy! What he couldn't dream of has come true today.
Li cried with joy and hugged Li Jing in his arms, speechless at this time.
Li Jing was infected by his mother's emotion, and it was the first time in his two lives that he felt such a strong love.
"Yulian, you're awake. Li resolutely heard the movement and rushed over as soon as possible, he came to the bed and gently held Lin Yulian's hand.
"Our child has regained his senses? You already knew? Why are you hiding it from me?" Lin Yulian complained to her husband, wanting to hit him a few times.
Li resolutely slapped himself twice and said, "I really should be beaten, I shouldn't hide it from you." ”
Li Jing said cheaply: "Where are the two slaps enough, hide it from your mother for a few days, and you will slap it a few times." ”
Lin Yulian burst into tears and smiled, kissed her son's forehead, her son's personality is a bit like when she was young, rebellious, outgoing, and has been depressed all these years, not because of this son, now that her son has recovered, her mood is also cheerful.
Li Jing regained his senses, Lin Yulian's spirit was really a hundred times better, his body recovered extremely quickly, his son is now a double blood pill, cultivation is important, it is not good for him to stay by his side, his body has not fully recovered, after Li Jing has measured the size of his hand, he will make a fitting dress for his son.
Since he met his mother, Li Jing has slowly changed, he has begun to integrate into the world, and gradually accept his family and relatives.
On this day, he was practicing with Li Lao Er, and he heard a cold voice say: "The maid is like a young master." ”
Why is this voice so familiar? Li Jing turned around and exclaimed in surprise.
Isn't this the Qin Wanru who sold herself to bury her father? Why did you come to our Li Mansion?
Li Lao Er said: "Jing'er, is there anything wrong? This maid has a good character, she is a few years younger than you, and she will be your maid in the future." ”
Li Jing was puzzled, but said in his mouth: "Wanru, a very nice name, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." ”
This time it was Qin Wanru's turn to be in a daze, she thought, "Why is this voice so familiar? The voice can't be wrong, it must be him!"
Qin Wanru recognized Li Jing and thought: But why are the two of them different in appearance? I understand! The young master of the Li family goes out, of course, he has to dress up, otherwise, those enemies of the Li Mansion will know that he has regained his senses. ”
It turned out that Qin Wanru saw Li Jing's every move that day, and Qin Wanru learned from the mouths of others that this Thursday Lang bought herself to enter the Qinglou, which was the result she was most unwilling to face, so although she lowered her head, she kept observing Thursday Lang.
When Li Jing first stole Thursday Lang, she thought that Li Jing was a thief, and she was still a very powerful thief, her perspective was a little low, so she could see it clearly.
Later, Li Jing coaxed Zhou Lang to give up the deal, which was regarded as saving her from the fire, and then stuffed 100 taels of silver tickets to himself.
Just now, Li Jing was so surprised when she saw her, which made her very puzzled, didn't he want to buy himself?
Li Lao Er noticed that the two of them looked wrong, thinking that the young man and the little girl fell in love at first sight, he said: "Jing'er, Wanru's character is excellent, everything about you has been told to her, and your life will be taken care of by her in the future, and you must treat other girls well!"
Li Jing couldn't hear what Li Lao Er meant, and he didn't refute it, thinking in his heart: "It seems that Steward Jiang is buying a maid for himself, but he doesn't know Steward Jiang." ”
It's good to be wrong in and wrong out.
After Qin Wanru said hello to Li Laoer, she went to her room.
"Jing'er, your current cultivation is at the third level realm, but in a few days, you will reach the fourth level, and by then, you will be able to obtain some of Yu's abilities, our ancestral exercises, you should start practicing. ”
Li Jingdao: "What exercises?"
Li Chongyang said: "It's called the Sunflower Treasure Book." ”
Li Jing almost fainted, isn't this going to be a eunuch himself?
In fact, the sunflower book of this life is different from the previous life, and it was only after Li Laoer's explanation that he understood.
The Sunflower Treasure Book is the crystallization of the martial arts of the Li family for thousands of years, mainly based on fist and foot kung fu.
