Chapter Forty-Eight: A Guest at the Farmhouse
Xu Qing walked out of the courtyard, originally walking a few steps, but seeing that Lu Ziang's house was getting farther and farther away, he sped up his pace, secretly thinking that Li Chengshu called him to meet at noon, and he wanted to go at this time, but he wanted to find out what she wanted to tell him.
When I walked to Li Chengshu's house, I wanted to knock on the door, but I heard someone talking in the door, so I stuck to the door, listened quietly, and heard the sound of being strong and powerful. ”
And his father's voice was not low, and he immediately replied: "Don't you think, when you grow up, your wings are stiff, and you want to fly, don't you? No way! You forget how your mother died, and you still want to learn the skills to wander the rivers and lakes, and dream! You want to go out and fool around, and don't use Mr. as an excuse, it seems that your father is usually too pampered with you, if you dare to step out of this house, I will break your legs when you come back!"
Li Chengshu said: "Mr. really knows martial arts, and he is very strong, even if my daughter doesn't go outside, learn martial arts, exercise and exercise her muscles and bones, she can also strengthen her body, why not do it?"
His father said again: "Don't say anything more, in short, don't think about it anymore, I'll go to work in the fields, and if I don't see you at home when I come back, or if I hear others say that I see you messing around outside, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!"
Hearing this, I saw that there was no sound of speech, but the sound of a shuttle's footsteps gradually came, Xu Qing panicked, subconsciously turned over to the house, the middle-aged man opened the courtyard door, closed the courtyard door with a hoe, and walked outside, Xu Qing saw that he had gone far, before he landed in the courtyard, Li Chengshu was just about to go back to the house, but saw Xu Qing suddenly appear, frightened to take a few steps back, and exclaimed: "Why are you here now, didn't you let you come over at noon?"
Xu Qing said: "Why do you want to be at noon, you can tell me now." Li Chengshu said: "I still have to cook to thank you." Xu Qing said: "Less pretending, tell me quickly, don't rub it anymore." ”
Li Chengshu had no choice but to bring Xu Qing into the house, the two sat on a stool, Li Chengshu said: "There is tea on the table, pour it yourself." ”
Xu Qing lifted the teapot and poured the tea into the cup, took a sip and smiled: "What kind of hospitality are you?" Li Chengshu said: "You are the one who trespasses into the house, what is the difference between you and those thieves?" Xu Qing said: "Okay, I won't quarrel with you anymore, you can talk quickly, so as not to be bumped into by your father." Li Chengshu said: "What if you bump into me, my father can't beat you, and you are a guest, what can he do with you?" Xu Qing said: "Your father won't do anything to me, but seeing you mixed with the people of the rivers and lakes, what do you make him think?"
Li Chengshu patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, I can't let my father know." ”
Then he said, "How would you... You overheard me talking to my daddy. Xu Qing said: "It's not me eavesdropping, you are talking so loudly, the neighbors will hear it." Li Chengshu said: "Is my voice so loud? Have you asked the neighbors, how can you know?" Xu Qing said angrily: "Can you stop talking about those useless things, hurry up and talk about business!" Li Chengshu said: "What is the matter, I forgot." Xu Qing hurriedly said: "Aren't you going to tell me some secret things at noon?" Li Chengshu said: "It's not noon yet? Why should I tell you." Xu Qing hurriedly said: "You.... Good sister, just tell me, are you going to kill me?" Li Chengshu smiled: "Okay, for the sake of you calling my good sister, I will tell you." ”
Then he took a sip of herbal tea to moisten his throat, and pretended to say: "That day, the spring breeze is peaceful, the earth is warm, the sunset shines on the mountain pass, and the locust wood forest reveals the beam of light, everything seems to be quiet and silent, I walk in the ......"
Halfway through his words, seeing Xu Qing's angry eyes, as if he was about to hit someone if he didn't get to the point, Li Chengshu smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you, I'm going to tell the story seriously." Xu Qing said: "Don't tell a story, just talk about the main point." Li Chengshu said: "It was just a moment before I fell unconscious that I heard my husband speak." ”
Xu Qing was shocked and said, "You mean that Mr. Shenyin spoke, who did he say it to?" Li Chengshu said: "Who else can you say to that old horseman." Xu Qing hurriedly said, "What did you say?"
Li Chengshu said: "Mr. seems to have said..."It's not been many years, and you still can't change your previous stinky temper." This sentence. ”
Mr. Xu Qing thought that Mr. said this to Ye Ji, so it can be inferred that Mr. and Ye Ji Lao'er must have known each other for many years, what Lu Guan said last night was indeed true, Ye Ji wanted to kill Li Chengshu, which was to lead the god to appear invisible, and then verify his true identity.
Li Chengshu saw Xu Qing bowing his head and pondering, and shouted, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Xu Qing continued: "What else did you hear?" Li Chengshu said: "I fainted and lost consciousness later." Xu Qing said: "After talking for a long time, you only told me this, what other strange things should I have." ”
Standing up and about to leave, Li Chengshu hurriedly said: "What are you going to go, sit down." Xu Qing said: "Why are you sitting down, you don't have anything to tell me." Li Chengshu said: "You are too impatient, if you can't satisfy you, why call you over?"
Xu Qing sat down and said impatiently: "You are asleep, and you don't know what happened next, didn't you hear something when you woke up?" Li Chengshu said: "After I woke up, they didn't say a word, so they didn't achieve anything." ”
Seeing Xu Qing's look of despair, he said: "But when I woke up, they didn't notice it, thinking that I was still asleep, so they heard some shocking anecdotes." ”
Xu Qing leaned close to his head and said hurriedly: "Tell me quickly, what did you hear?" Li Chengshu said: "I remember that old man seemed to say something like "kill Emperor Liang", and then Mr. refused, saying something "Killing Emperor Liang will make the court chaotic and the people will suffer" or something like that, I can't hear the specifics clearly, I was dizzy at the time, and their voices were very low, and I couldn't state them one by one. ”
Xu Qing frowned, secretly thinking that Ye Ji was really planning something big, and he actually wanted to kill Emperor Liang, this was a rebellion, although the court was unkind, but it was definitely not solved by assassinating Emperor Liang, so knowing it would be counterproductive.
Xu Qing said tightly towards Li Chengshu: "What else have you heard, tell me quickly." ”
Li Chengshu tilted his head, thought about it carefully, and said: "By the way, they also mentioned the three words "Xiao Fuchen", and also called His Royal Highness Fuchen, what is the posthumous son of the first emperor. ”
Xu Qing stared at him and said, "Who brought this matter?" Li Chengshu said: "Although the three words "Xiao Fuchen" were proposed by the old horseman, it was Mr. who first proposed "the orphan of the first emperor". ”
Xu Qing was very different and said, "Mr. proposed?"
Li Chengshu nodded and said, "Yes, what's the matter, do you know this prince?" Xu Qing said: "I naturally don't know this." Li Chengshu said: "Since you don't know, why do you want to ask who made it in the first sentence, instead of asking about this prince." Xu Qing said: "I just want to know who knows these things, so I can ask him." ”
Li Chengshu looked at Xu Qing meaningfully, and saw that Xu Qing's scalp was numb, but his face was not shocked.
He said to Li Chengshu: "What are you doing? I didn't hide it from you. Li Chengshu said: "Okay, I won't embarrass you." Xu Qing said, "What else did you hear?"
Li Chengshu tilted his head again and said, "The old man seems to have mentioned that he wants to put this Fuchen Highness as the emperor." Xu Qing said: "What did Mr. say?" Li Chengshu said: "Mr. seems to say that he wants to be an idle cloud and a wild crane, and that the affairs of the court have nothing to do with him, and I don't know what will happen later." Xu Qing said: "That's all?" Li Chengshu said: "That's it, what else do you want to hear?" Xu Qing said: "Okay, thank you girl, Xu Qing has taken his leave." ”
Li Chengshu hurriedly called him and said, "What, this is leaving, I have to talk so much, is it in vain?" Xu Qing said: "What do you want? I can't invite you to dinner, I'm a guest." Li Chengshu said: "Who wants you to invite me to dinner, I want you to help me ask Mr. if you can take me as an apprentice." Xu Qing said: "You want to learn martial arts?" Li Chengshu said: "Yes." Xu Qing said: "Shicai, your father has said this about you, do you still dare to learn martial arts?" Li Chengshu said: "Don't listen to my father's nonsense, he is very good at his words, but in fact, he hurts me, but if Mr. doesn't agree, it's useless to pass the dad's level." Xu Qing said: "You have been with Mr. for so many years, why don't you tell it yourself, Mr. and I are just meeting in Pingshui, in comparison, you must be more powerful to say." ”
Li Chengshu said: "If Mr. really has the heart to teach martial arts, it will not be until today that I learned that Mr. has peerless martial arts. Xu Qing said: "According to what you say, I will explain what you mean, and I will not hold it." Li Chengshu said: "No, if you go and say something different, you will follow what I said, go to Mr. and say a few kind words, and he will definitely consider it." ”
Xu Qing was still puzzled, only to see Li Chengshu pushing him out, and said urgently: "At this time, my father will come back, you better go quickly." ”
Xu Qing said: "Didn't your father go to the field, how did he come back?"
Li Chengshu said: "Daddy will come back before noon to get some dry food, plus some well water, and put it in his kettle, otherwise he will die of thirst in such a hot and dry weather, otherwise I will let you come over at noon, is it casual to talk about it? ”
Xu Qing understood, picked up the scabbard and walked out of the house, and walked towards the courtyard door, but saw that the courtyard door suddenly opened, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man, the man was sweating, carrying a hoe, and was about to put down the hoe, but saw Xu Qing in the courtyard, his face was full of surprise, Li Chengshu saw this, and hurriedly avoided the house.
Xu Qing didn't know what to say for a while, but the middle-aged man said politely: "I remember it's Xu Shaoxia, what's the matter with coming here?" Go in and sit down, just when I come back to rest, Shaoxia might as well drink a few more cups of tea." Xu Qing said: "I've already drunk it, don't bother, Xu Qing just came to talk to your daughter, and there is nothing serious about it, so I have to leave, I don't have to send it off." ”
The middle-aged man said: "That being the case, Xu Shaoxia walks slowly." ”
When Xu Qing walked out of the yard, there was a pig-like roar behind him, and Xu Qing couldn't help laughing.
In the courtyard, the middle-aged man opened his throat and yelled, Li Chengshu had no choice but to walk out of the house and said to the man: "Daddy, be quiet, Xu Shaoxia hasn't gone far yet." ”
The man said, "I don't care, he can still manage my housework." ”
After saying that, he was about to lift the broom, Li Chengshu hurriedly ran into the house, shouting: "My daughter didn't go out again, why did my father punish me?"
The man said, "I told you not to go out, so you took the Jianghu people home?"
Picking up a broom and chasing after Li Chengshu, Li Chengshu panicked: "It wasn't his daughter who invited him over, it was he who broke into the hospital by himself, and his daughter is innocent." ”
The man shouted: "You don't come to these words, if you hadn't hooked up first, he would have walked into a girl's house for no reason, and happened to be in time when his father was not at home?" Li Chengshu said: "The daughter really doesn't hide it from her father." ”
The man continued, "If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll make your ass bloom." ”
