Chapter 204: Brothers Recognize Each Other

As soon as these words came out, the old man looked at it again, and then changed into a kind and amiable face, and began to make tea and prepare food, and got busy. So, after the old man's diligent work was finished, he realized that the old man in front of him was his mother's father-in-law's grandfather, Li Tianci! 'Mother, everything is fine!' Li Jingtian replied, and then told him about his life with his mother on the grassland and his current situation.

......After listening to the story, Li Tianzhu sighed, but suddenly looked like he wanted to say something. "But grandfather, after talking for a long time, you haven't told your grandson where my father is, when will you lead my father and son to meet!" Thinking that the knot that had plagued him for many years was about to be opened, Li Jingtian, who was full of anticipation, couldn't help blurting out.

But as soon as these words came out, Li Tianzhu suddenly froze and smiled silently. After a long time, he sighed and said, "It's okay if your father is gone!" "It must be my father who offended my grandfather, but who can be without fault?" Seeing Li Tianzhu shaking his head and sighing, Li Jingtian secretly thought. Thinking of this, he immediately said, 'Even if my father offends my grandfather, but there is a grandson here to make amends, grandfather doesn't have to mind too much!' Hearing this, Li Tianzhu's face suddenly turned happy, and when he was about to get up and summon, he suddenly fell into his seat and said weakly, 'Your father is long gone...... Seeing his grandfather's tears streaming down his face, Li Jingtian knew that what he said was true.

After his heart sank suddenly, he still couldn't help blurting out, "Even though my father is no longer alive, as a son of man, my grandson should also go to worship!" "Okay! Your father is buried in ......" Seeing that he was stubborn, Li Tianzhu had no choice but to tell Li Jingtian of the burial place of his son Li Juan in a sigh and a sigh. Although he couldn't meet his father, being able to learn his father's name still made Li Jingtian inexplicably excited.

So, after asking where his father was buried, he bought a sacrificial thing early the next morning and hurried out of the city. More than ten miles away, Li Jingtian arrived in a blink of an eye. But when they arrived, they saw thatched and low tombs scattered in a haphazard manner between a barren land slightly above the surrounding area, and many of the tombs had not been worshiped for a long time. Not to mention adding soil to repair! Some of them were even arched out of deep holes by rats and hedgehogs, and then washed by heavy rain, revealing their coffins; so that some coffins were rotten, and the funeral clothes were scattered everywhere! And the twisted branches on the blackened trunks of several nearby trees pointed to the vast sky without exception; and the occasional croaking and wailing crow flew by, adding a sense of solemnity and gloom to this chaotic mass burial place!

Judging from the situation of the family, even if my father is not, he should not be buried in such a mass grave place!" The dilapidated scene in front of him made Li Jingtian quite cold, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy for his father.

How did he know? This Li Qian was not only born handsome, but also extremely intelligent when he was a child, and he had always been the only hope that Li Tianzhu regarded as the lintel of the light gate. Unexpectedly, under all kinds of doting, when this son grew up, not only did he have no interest in the hard work of studying literature and martial arts, but on the contrary, he had a special fondness for things such as looking for flowers and willows, wild bees and butterflies; at a young age, he was already proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he was full of all five poisons! During this period, because he was mixed with the maid at home, after the maid became pregnant, Li Tianzhu had to lose a large amount of money every time. Later, seeing that he was coming to his home all day long, Li Tianzhu had no choice but to expel him from his home and wander the rivers and lakes after teaching some martial arts. Unexpectedly, after this Li Xuan was expelled from the house, he learned the ability to cheat and deceive with the help of the golden signboard of the Li family in Jinan. At that time, although Li Xuan's bad deeds had already aroused public indignation, the righteous path of martial arts who had the intention to eliminate him was on the side of the Li family in Jinan, but he always opened up to him. With the passage of time, this Li Juan acted even more recklessly, and even the female disciples of the Righteous Path Sect were deceived by his clever words, and both people and money were lost! Whenever this happened, Li Tianzhu could only offer generous gifts and beg for mercy with an old face. Later, he thought that after his son had a family, he would restrain himself, but unexpectedly, this Li Juan actually intensified his efforts; he simply took the carnival as his home, and often lived there for several months! What's more, every time Li Tianzhu found his traces, Li Juan, who had been reprimanded, always had to go home to vent his anger at his own wife. Therefore, Li Tianci tried his best to get a four-room wife room for him, but he was beaten away by Li Juan twice! Therefore, for the accidental death of this son, Li Tianci naturally did not bother to think about it anymore, and only found a mass grave and hastily buried the matter.

I didn't want to look at it more, looking at this lonely seat like a fox and rabbit, Li Jingtian only looked at it for a while, and then walked quickly to the grave of his father Li Xuan. But when he arrived, he saw green smoke curling in front of the grave, and judging from the burning paper that had not yet burned out and the half fat chicken that had been placed, it was obvious that someone had just worshipped him. "Who is this who is here to worship my father?" At this moment, looking at his father's grave, which had been dug out of several large holes to reveal the coffin, Li Jingtian couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart.

Just when Li Jingtian looked at the smoke in front of the grave and looked at himself, he raised the ground, and suddenly a person walked straight up, took the gold leaf and paper money in Li Jingtian's hand and burned it in front of the grave. 'Brother, ..... you are' Seeing that the man beat his chest and cried incessantly, Li Jingtian couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart. 'I worship my father, why should I need you to make a noise?' the man said at once.

Although the man was quite hostile, he only cried after listening to him, Li Jingtian still suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you call Brother Tai and the person in the tomb?" Ah? He is actually my father's eldest son! In this case, isn't this person my eldest brother? But I have never heard my mother talk about it! Li Jingtian could not help but be surprised in his heart. After asking, I learned that this person was actually born to his father and the outer chamber back then! At that time, many men in the Great Song Dynasty had three wives and four concubines, and Li Jingtian had heard about it earlier. "Looking at the situation at home, it is reasonable for my father to have a few rooms back then!" Li Jingtian secretly thought.

Thinking of this, Li Jingtian immediately bowed his head and said, "Brother is above, junior brother Li Jingtian saluted the eldest brother!" After finishing speaking, he pointed to Li Jingtian's expensive outfit and blurted out, "Where did my brother get rich?"

When Li Jingtian entered the city yesterday, he thought that he was about to meet his family, and because he saw that Liu Sheng had given a lot of money, he deliberately spent a lot of silver to buy it. At this moment, listening to Li Shen asking where he made his fortune, "Presumably, the eldest brother asked me where I was born!"

'The eldest brother was offended just now, and the brother forgives me' After listening to the story, Li Shen said again without guilt. Actually: Li Jingtian didn't understand what he said just now; Now seeing Li Shen's guilty demeanor, he couldn't help but apologize. Then he hurriedly said, "Our own brothers!" The eldest brother has shown that the younger brother listens to the training!'' "Having said that!, but where is the eldest brother willing to reprimand his own brother?" Li Shen said humbly.

'The eldest brother is the father, and the eldest brother doesn't need to be polite,' Li Jingtian responded. For a while, the elder brother was respectful, and it was a scene of affection! While he was talking, after seeing the half of the fat chicken in front of the grave, Li Jingtian couldn't help blurting out disgust: "It's just that the eldest brother worships our father, but how can this ...........?"

Li Jingtian wanted to say more, but after seeing Li Shen's outfit, he couldn't help but secretly think, 'I think it's because of the hard life of the eldest brother!, but in any case, it is really rare to have this filial piety!' But after thinking of the situation in the family again, he still couldn't help blurting out, 'There is still a grandfather in the family, but how can he tolerate the eldest brother in such a situation?' "Brother, don't mention that old fellow!" I only said that I was begging for some money to repair our father's grave, and the old guy broke off the relationship with me, and then he sent someone to beat me up...... Li Shen suddenly became angry.

Seeing Li Shen's heartache, Li Jingtian had the heart to persuade a few words, but because he didn't understand the inside story, he really couldn't think of where to speak, so he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot for a while. "Do you still have silver taels on your brother?"

'Oh, there are many more, and the little brother will go home and get them!' Thinking that there were still more than a hundred taels of silver given by Liu Sheng, Li Jingtian answered, and immediately took out the more than ten taels of silver on his body first.

"That's all right! This is good! Let's see each other today, it's a must, the eldest brother wants to invite the brothers to a big meal!" 'It is natural to talk about brotherly love,' Li Jingtian secretly thought.

So, after tidying up the grave for a while, the two brothers hurried back to the city. After entering the city, before taking a closer look, Li Shen directly introduced Li Jingtian into a wine shop. After sitting down, after Li Shen survived a lot of work, the cold and hot stir-fry, and all kinds of dishes were served on the table in a short time. "The eldest brother is so attentive to me, I must not let the eldest brother be so bankrupt" Looking at the large table full of dishes, thinking that it would cost a lot of silver, Li Jingtian even confessed, and offered to return home first to get his own baggage. "How can my brother break the money today?" Li Shen immediately sneered, but he still couldn't pull it, so he had to let Li Jingtian go.
