Chapter 2: Useless is the Scholar 2
Li Qingfeng sat alone in his yard in a daze, it was already night at this time, and the evening of early spring was still as cool as the morning.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Li Qingfeng knew that it was his father, turned his face that was getting paler and paler, and called out to his father.
Li Yu looked at his son sitting at the door of his yard, lowered his head and asked, "What happened in Qingfeng in the afternoon?"
Li Qingfeng looked at his father a little discouraged, and told him what Lao Li Tou had said to him in the afternoon.
Time goes back to when Li Qingfeng played chess with Lao Li Tou.
"You must be curious about why I left suddenly, who I am, and why I know the strategic goals of the Demon Cult, and I'll tell you something now.
I suddenly want to leave because someone wants to arrest me, as for who I am, Li Daorong, have you heard of it? As for why I know the strategic goal of the Demon Sect...... If I answered the second one, you know, you should know it. ”
Li Qingfeng was a little dumbfounded, Li Daorong, who was once a hussar general of the Great Qi State?
Looking at Li Qingfeng's expression, he knew it, so Li Daorong smiled, "Hehe, it seems that you know me, I think it was your father who told you about me as a person, hehe, I only came to your Lijia Village for a few days."
I began to spread that I was a deserter, and then I became a down-and-out general after driving away horse thieves a few times for your village, not to mention that what I said later is really accurate, I guessed eight or nine and did not leave ten, haha...... Hahahaha......
As for not taking Miao Miao away, it's because I don't know if I can come back alive from this trip, so I'm going to throw Miao Miao to you, boy, you have to take care of her.
I gave her some drugs so that she wouldn't worry, and that she would wake up at night, but don't starve her, and if I let me know that you were starving her or bullying her, I wouldn't be able to spare you. ”
Old Li Tou, it shouldn't be that Li Daorong didn't say anything after talking for so long Li Qingfeng didn't say anything, most of them were surprised, they didn't react for a while, and some of them really didn't know what to say, after all, they were only fifteen or sixteen years old.
When Li Daorong talked about Li Miaomiao and said that if he bullied her, he would not be able to spare him, he finally replied, "No, no, I promise, Grandpa Li, ah no, General Li, I will definitely treat her like a sister, and I will not starve her." Besides, you don't usually bully her when you see me" This is clearly feeling wronged, where would he bully Li Miaomiao, he usually treats her very well.
Speaking of which, Li Qingfeng only reacted now, Li Miaomiao didn't seem to go to the private school today, but his father didn't go to the private school in the afternoon.
Li Daorong looked at Li Qingfeng's expression of some incomprehension because he was nervous or eager to defend himself, and instantly smiled, "Let's call me Grandpa Li, this is much kinder than the general, I also know that you don't dare, let alone not, but I still want to say, I, Li Daorong, have no children and no daughters in my life, just such a granddaughter, shouldn't I care more about her?"
"I didn't say it shouldn't be~" Li Qingfeng muttered and retorted.
"Say whatever you want, don't be a man, a manly man, stand up to the sky, how do you know that I am Li Daorong, it's hard to say that I am me? Why aren't you afraid when you win me in chess in the front?"
Li Qingfeng touched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Eh~ Isn't this not a crime for those who don't know? Grandpa Li, are you really being pushed out of the officialdom?"
Li Daorong smiled and said, "Yes and no...... Then this token is given to you, and you can't use it until you have to, because I can't guarantee whether it will work positively or negatively.
There is a stump of an almond tree on the hill behind me, and I have buried a box in the ground, and when I am gone, I can go and get it, and there are some things in it, some for you, and some for seedlings. ”
At this moment, Li Yu's voice sounded at the door: "Old Li Tou, are you there? I have something to discuss with the village chief." ”
Li Daorong smiled and said to Li Qingfeng: "Your father came first." It seems that we can't finish this game, so how about a draw?"
Li Qingfeng smiled a little helplessly, "It's all up to Grandpa Li's orders."
Li Yu was not surprised to see Li Qingfeng, but Li Rui had some questions, "Qingfeng is also there?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Yu.
"Oh, I asked him to send some firewood to Lao Li Tou and play chess with him by the way. Li Yu saw Li Rui looking at him suspiciously and explained.
"Li Yu, you and the village chief came to me for the slaughter of Liaojia Village?" Old Li Tou obviously expected the reason why the two of them came to him.
"Do you know Lao Li Tou?" Although Li Yu was also puzzled by Lao Li Tou actually knowing their purpose, he was not as eager as Li Rui.
Lao Li Tou smiled, "Hehe, the village chief is fine, the slaughter of Liaojia Village is a personal vendetta, not a horse thief." It has nothing to do with our Lijia Village, don't worry. ”
Although Lao Li Tou said this, Li Rui was still a little uneasy, and was about to ask something more, but at this moment, suddenly a dark arrow suddenly shot at Lao Li Tou, because Li Rui was just about to get close to ask Lao Li Tou, so this arrow just hit his back.
By the time Li Qingfeng and Li Yu saw it, it was already too late.
At the same time, a group of masked black-clothed people jumped out of Lao Li's yard.
Lao Li Tou asked Li Qingfeng beside him to hold Li Rui, and he walked to Li Qingfeng, the man in black, and wanted to pull Lao Li Tou, but he gently blocked him.
"You must have come badly, can you leave your name, contemptible people want to die to understand. ”
More than a dozen black-clothed people were unmoved, and the two people who seemed to be the leader looked at each other and "moved," and began to quickly approach Li Daorong.
I saw more than a dozen masked black-clothed people first leap forward, and at the same time swung the sickle at Li Daorong in a strange arc, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen sickles were close at hand, and I saw Lao Li dodge a few times, and suddenly stretched out two fingers to clamp the nearest sickle with lightning speed, and pulled it back.
At the same time, he turned around, knocked the scythe behind him, and pulled it back again, and a very thin iron chain stood out.
It turns out that the reason why these scythes have a strange curve is because of a small iron chain attached to the end.
If you don't look closely, you really don't pay attention.
The masked man in black who was pulled back by Lao Li's head had to take a few steps forward before stabilizing his body again.
In these dozens of seconds, Lao Li Tou turned around again and blocked the attack from the front with the edge of the scythe.
was about to seize this gap to counterattack, only to see Lao Li Tou throw the sickle in his hand and fly towards the original owner of the sickle. A scream, as if to echo the scream, instantly sprinkled the ground with bright red blood.
Lao Li Tou, who has no weapons, is obviously a little struggling, and the man in black is obviously also eating, and Chang Yizhi is not giving Lao Li Tou a chance to seize weapons.
After a long time, I don't know if Lao Li is too old to do it or because he is unable to do it with his two fists, and the man in black on the left, who seems to be one of the leaders, suddenly released a dark arrow from his left hand again while attacking.
Lao Li Tou had just dodged the sickle behind him, and the hidden arrow on the left was indeed too late to dodge.
I saw a flash of cold light, and in a blink of an eye, it was Lao Li's heart, and at this moment, the dark arrow that had been about to shoot into Lao Li's chest fell to the ground.
I saw a masked man in a black robe, who was also black, standing behind Lao Li.
Then three black-robed people appeared among the black-clothed men one after another, and then there was a burst of screams.
The two black-clothed men at the head saw the idea, looked at each other, and I said retreat and began to retreat.
Originally, the three black-robed people wanted to chase down, but Lao Li Tou suddenly looked up at the entrance of the village, "Don't chase", and then waved his hand and made a retreat gesture, and saw the three black-robed people disappear.
Slowly, Li Qingfeng and the others felt the ground vibrating, as if some behemoth was moving towards Lijia Village.
Then I saw a shadow appear at the entrance of the village, and slowly about a hundred fully armed cavalry appeared, approaching Lao Litou's house from far and near.
When the neat hundred or so cavalry and fully armed cavalry all stopped at the gate of Lao Li Tou's courtyard.
Li Yu and Li Qingfeng's father and son were already a little numb, the assassination and counter-killing just now, the corpses and blood on the ground, they had not yet recovered, and a hundred black horses appeared in the distance.
Li Qingfeng's already pale face was bloodless because of the fight just now, due to excessive fright.
As for Li Yu, it was no better, out of protection, the hand holding Li Qingfeng was also in cold sweat, and his face was pale and weak.
Among the three, Li Rui should be the most comfortable, he has passed out due to excessive blood loss, but his life is worry-free, and the black-robed man who stayed behind is to treat Li Rui's injuries and stop the bleeding.
Just when their father and son were suspicious and frightened, the leader of the hundred or so horses rode forward a few steps, and then dismounted and knelt down and said, "Guide to the German Lang will Ye Qing to meet the hussar general, and it is too late to save the driver, please punish the general." ”
Then the remaining 100 horsemen also dismounted and knelt on the ground, "Meet the hussar general, please punish the general." ”
The silence, the deathly silence, is almost audible.
It was still the old Li Tou who broke the embarrassment, but it wasn't Li Qingfeng that they imagined to get up, but "Who told you that I was here?"
This questioning is not loud, but it reveals the majesty of a long-term superior.
Li Qingfeng could even feel the pressure, even if he was not the object of this sentence.
"If you return to the general's words, I will be ordered by the king of Pingnan to invite the general to go to the Pingnan palace to lead the three armies," the answer was still to the German general Ye Qing.
Dead silence again.
Li Yu was dumbfounded at all, first assassinated, and then four black-robed people counterattacked, the current hussar general, King Pingnan, and a general of Gui Delang?
Li Qingfeng had to be assassinated compared to the previous one, although this one was also shocking, but at least it was acceptable. After all, he knew Lao Litou's identity in advance.
Lao Li Tou looked at the two pale fathers and sons, and said with a smile: "It's okay, take care of Miao Miao for me, oh, yes, Qingfeng's illness can be cured, there is a ghost doctor in the White Night Valley, and the Holy Hand can cure his illness." ”
Originally, the father and son were so frightened that they listened to the words, as if they had eaten the Soul Pill, and came to the spirit, "Lao Li...... Can the general tell me where the Lower White Night Valley is? I'll take Aomine. ”
"I don't know, Li Yu is not that I won't tell you, it's that I don't know, otherwise I would have told you a long time ago, and this time I told you that I was afraid...... Forget it and go,
Qingfeng, don't bully Miao Miao, you kid, otherwise I won't be able to spare you. ”
Time returned to nightfall again, Li Yu sighed after listening to Li Qingfeng, "I can't imagine that the old Li Tou, who has lived next door for six years, is actually a former hussar general, no wonder he ...... before."
Li Qingfeng didn't say much before seeing that his father just said no wonder, so he was a little puzzled, "Father, what you said is no wonder is that Grandpa Li did anything amazing before?"
Li Yu returned to reality from his thoughts, and looked down at Li Qingfeng again: "Do you remember when you were eleven years old? You are still taking classes in the private school? I let you study on your own in the private school and go out?"
"I remember, after Uncle Yan went to you and told you something, you let us review on our own, and we knew that we came back with the neighbors in the village to pick us up in the evening. ”
"Well, yes, that's the time, in the past ten years, many people have no food, what can they do if they don't have food?
At that time, Li Yan told me that there were ten horse bandits in the village, and we went out to let the villagers gather some food to tide over this difficulty.
Who would have thought that these bandits had not given us enough to ask us to hand over all the food, and if we had handed over all the food this year, there would be no way to survive.
At that time, the village chief was still Li Rui's father, Li Zhi, and he had to communicate with the horse bandits, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is really the food that the village can come up with." ”
The leader of the horse bandits: "Hehe, it seems that you are going to toast and not eat and drink?" After speaking, he rode his horse and approached the village chief at that time.
I knew that this horse bandit was real, so I could only stand up, "This lord, let's go and prepare, let people go and get food,"
When the leader of the horse bandits saw me come out suddenly, he didn't care if my words counted, "Okay, go quickly, we will leave after taking the food, and it is definitely not anyone." ”
I looked at the village chief, Li Zhi, and he nodded at me. When he went to get the last grain with the villagers, one of the bandits next to the bandit leader didn't know what to say to the bandit leader.
I heard the leader of the horse bandits shouting, "Wait, except for food, I think we need ten more women, otherwise we will slaughter your whole village." ”
I was about to reply to refuse, but your Uncle Li Yan couldn't help it at that time, "Fuck Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, there are more than 20 households in my Lijia Village, and we can't beat a dozen horse bandits?, the villagers fought with them." ”
After saying that, Li Yan rushed out, and then the villagers also rushed out, including me. After all, if you don't work hard, you will die, the food is gone, and you have to hand over people, who can bear it.
But where are the ordinary villagers who are the opponents of the long-term murderous bandits, the form is down, the screams are endless, I was also against the last bandit, but I am not his opponent, and I was accidentally kicked to the ground by him.
When I was about to be killed by him, it was you, Uncle Li Yan, who saved me, and at that time he half-jokingly said, "Brother Li Yu, you are really useless and a scholar, haha." "Now that I think about it, it's true.
In the afternoon, we can only do the affairs of Lao Li Tou's house, standing there and being afraid, and we can't do anything, can we?"
Li Qingfeng looked up at his father and muttered, "Is it useless, is it a scholar?"
