"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law. Lu Li pulled his trouser legs, carried the fish basket, ran into the small courtyard, and raised the fish basket as he ran, shouting excitedly: "Mother-in-law, I caught a fish!"

Out of the thatched hut came a silver-haired old woman, only to see that the mother-in-law was straight, neither hunched back nor crutches, although the figure was out of shape, the height was also shrunk, and the face was still full of wrinkles and charm. "Idiot, you didn't catch a dragon, why are you so excited?"

Lu Li was so stunned by his mother-in-law that he had nothing to say, put down the fish basket, and was quiet in an instant.

"What are you doing standing in the yard?" the mother-in-law ignored Lu Li and turned to go into the house.

Lu Li also stopped talking, squatted on the ground and poured out the fish, the big fish jumped on the ground as hard as he could, and Lu Li became happy again.

The small village where the Lu family is located is located in a narrow strip of land between the Shunlai Mountains and the Wuming Water, and the people of the village have been fishing for generations. Because it is blocked by Shunlai Mountain and Wuming Water, many families in the village have lived here for generations. The Lu family came here three hundred years ago to avoid the enemy, and the only son in the family married and had children with a girl in the village, and the Lu family has never gone out again. But the Lu family brought news from the outside world and ten cars of books to the village, and the Lu family at that time was in the limelight in the village. Some of the young people in the village gradually walked out of the mountains through the books of the Lu family, and there was even a fellow jinshi in the past three hundred years. A year and a half ago, Lu Li's childhood sweetheart He Ren left the village to go to Beijing to take the exam. "You wait for me, I will marry you in a beautiful way if I pass the exam. Lu Li looked at He Ren's eyes with a smile in his eyes and nodded heavily.

The mother-in-law was not optimistic, but Lu Li didn't take it to heart, because Lu Li felt that her mother-in-law didn't look at anyone well, and she had always been cold to others and even too lazy to take care of them. It is said that I did not know what my mother-in-law's name was, and where she came from, as if she had always been here, and as if she had just arrived, and she did not have any acquaintances. The old people in the village are also avoiding their mother-in-law, Lu Li is happy to see this, after all, those old ladies have always been broken-mouthed, sitting at the door and seeing Lu Li, they have to whisper about the death of their father and mother when they are born, these years as they get older, they are becoming more and more deaf and blind, and their voices are getting louder and louder, but Lu Li has long been unmindful, after all, this situation has been seventeen years. Most of the children of the same age in the village were also taught by their parents to stay away from Lu Li's broom star, and even when they beat and scolded the children, they had to carry a sentence "Sooner or later, you have to kill us like the broom star of the Lu family!" Seventeen years ago, Lu Li's father and mother passed away at the same time, according to her mother-in-law, her life is short and unlucky, and she is not responsible for giving birth to a child. Lu Li became an orphan, and her mother-in-law didn't know which tendon was wrong, so she changed her previous indifference and took the initiative to adopt Lu Li. Although the arrival of the Lu family three hundred years ago was also respected, but now the Lu family is only left with Lu Li, an orphan girl, and is discriminated against by the whole village, only He Ren is willing to play with Lu Li, every time Lu Li is surrounded by children shouting broom stars, He Ren stands up. The mother-in-law said that He Ren just wanted to come to Lu's house to read, but Lu Li didn't think so, thinking that He Ren was knowledgeable and polite, and he would definitely be able to go to high school in the future.

"Mother-in-law, it's time to eat, there is fish today. ”

The mother-in-law came out of the room with a look of disgust, "Did you just find out today that we live by the river?"

Lu Li stood in front of the dining table and placed the dishes and chopsticks, "Hehe, mother-in-law, this is not the first time I have caught it myself." Besides, we are on the sea, and there is no ship that is difficult to catch. ”

The mother-in-law sat at the dining table, still disgusted, "You stupid, the Lu family will be out of business when they come to you." ”

Lu Li smiled, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, when Brother He Ren comes back, we will be filial to you together." ”

The mother-in-law glanced at Lu Li, "No heart and no lungs." ”

"Hey, mother-in-law, you eat fish. ”

The Lu family is living their little life, and the Demon Realm is organizing an annual competition, and the market is extremely chaotic. Because the Demon Realm is different from the other Five Realms, the Demon Realm does not yearn for the appearance of human beings very much, and most of them show their true identities. Demon Zun is a black-horned goat with two sons and a daughter, although he appears as a human being, he has thick black horns on his head, jet-black hair is flowing and natural, and a goatee complements his thin face. More than 500 years ago, the current Demon Venerable negotiated peace with the Heavenly Realm, ending the third ten-year war between gods and demons, and has served as the Demon Venerable with the joint support of the gods and demons.

"It's time for the second son to challenge on stage this year, right?" In the audience of the ring, an elk asked a gray wolf.

"Second son? ”

"yes, yes. A leopard joined in, "The second son, that stupid man, didn't even pass the exam in Zhoushan Academy, is he still trying to challenge the eldest princess?"

"Last year, the eldest prince won the battle with one move, and this year, the eldest prince graduated from school, and he will not come to challenge. The elk spoke again, "Anyway, this eldest princess occupies the position of our Demon Realm Battle Demon Venerable all the year round, and we males are really faceless!"

"Well, what can we do? ”

As he spoke, the gong had already sounded three times on the tournament platform, and all the demons craned their necks to see who dared to challenge. Last year, the eldest prince Ming Qixian successfully won the championship in Buzhoushan College and entered the competition, although he unfortunately lost in the competition. However, Ming Qi bumped into the remnants of the former Demon Venerable on the way back from Buzhou Mountain and discussed attacking the audience, and the news that Ming Qi completely annihilated the enemy with his own strength was spread, and Ming Qi became famous in a battle, and even overpowered the eldest princess Zixuan. Zixuan quickly disagreed with his brother, this incident made Zixuan feel threatened, and the conflict with his brother intensified, and this year it was even put on the table. I saw that Zixuan was dressed in black and purple clothes neatly, his hair was pulled up high, the black horns on the top of his head were shorter than those of the Demon Venerable, and a pair of almond eyes looked particularly deep against the thick eyelashes. A hundred years ago, Zixuan narrowly defeated the previous Battle Demon Venerable with a move "Ten Thousand Purples and Thousand Reds", and has been standing firmly on the defensive side for a hundred years. And not everyone can go up to the Demon Realm Competition, and the ways to participate only include: the first place in this year's preliminaries, the recommendation of Buzhoushan Academy and the recommendation of the Demon Venerable.

In yesterday's competition, the eldest princess Zixuan had already defeated the first place in this year's preliminaries neatly, and the Zhoushan Academy did not recommend a challenger this year. So only the recommender of the Demon Venerable remains: the second son, Mingyang. Because Mingyang failed in the exam of Buzhoushan Academy, the Demon Venerable could only recommend him to challenge in order to obtain an audit ticket to enter Buzhoushan Academy without exams. In fact, this is also a helpless move, Mingyang has never learned and is idle, and he can't even get into a school, let alone let him do any big things. However, Buzhoushan Academy has school rules, and the demons who win the first place in the preliminaries of the competition every year can directly enter Buzhoushan to observe, challenge the battle of the Demon Venerable for more than 50 moves, and can enter Buzhoushan Academy to study. Looking at the current situation, it is already good for Mingyang to be able to go to the audit, but I don't know if he can carry the fiftieth move.

Here Mingyang* didn't want to participate in any martial arts at all, but the Demon Venerable gave a death order, saying that if he didn't go, he would break his legs. Mingyang had no choice but to walk into the ring, and he looked up to see the Demon Venerable sitting on the high platform, holding his goatee, his small eyes shining with black light. Mingyang was angry with the Demon Venerable, and suddenly heard the commotion in the audience, it turned out that someone had already bet on the second prince before entering the arena: the second prince would not appear at all, and those who bet on the right were of course jubilant, Mingyang who was standing in the ring did not know why, thinking that he was cheering for himself, and his mood was also cheerful, and he grinned at the stands with his fists.

Zixuan didn't wait for him to waste time here, he whipped over, and Mingyang hurriedly dodged. His strategy was to dodge fifty moves, get the qualification to audit, and finish the errand. Zixuan's steel whip flew up and down, Mingyang dodged left and right in the ring, and the spectators in the stands were all counting the bets on his first defeat, sighing endlessly. In the blink of an eye, Mingyang had already dodged twenty-six whips, and Zi Xuan was eager to prove that no one could shake his position in the Demon Realm, but Mingyang had not made a move, and Zi Xuan felt that it was really unfavorable to consume this waste wood again, so he turned back to the place where he stood at the beginning. I saw Zi Xuan put away the steel whip, his hands slowly rose, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zi Xuan was about to make a big move "Ten Thousand Purples and Thousands of Reds"! Demon Venerable stopped brushing his beard, and the people in the stands also held their breath, of course Mingyang knew that this was his aunt's trick. When it was too late, Zixuan's "Thousands of Purples and Thousands of Reds" were released, instantly forming a brilliant lightsaber, and this lightsaber rushed towards Mingyang like a big net. How could Mingyang resist, he could only jump, but it was too slow, and he didn't jump out of the sword net after all and fell to the ground all of a sudden. There was an instant silence in the stands, and then thunderous cheers erupted. Zixuan glanced at Mingyang, who fell to the ground, his face was calm, enjoying the cheers, and then he raised his head and glanced coldly at the Demon Venerable who was sitting on the high platform, without saying a word, raising his legs and leaving. When passing through the bright sun, Zixuan didn't even stop.

Mingyang was injured by "Thousand Purples and Thousand Reds", all injuries below the knee, not only lost the opportunity to audit at Buzhoushan Academy, but also had to rest in bed for a year.

Mingyang failed in the martial arts competition, but He Ren was proud of the spring breeze and won the high school championship in one fell swoop.

"Hey, this kid can actually get into the top prize? This can be regarded as a poor bastard who has fallen into the golden nest. The young master of the Li family looked incredulous.

"Young master, that poor sour will read a broken book, and now that he has won the champion, he will definitely be proud. Back then, he was admitted to the juren, do you look at him like that, and now he can't be even more unbeatable?"

"Hmph, stinky and sour, I should still have ten taels of silver. If it weren't for Lao Tzu, would he have been able to go to the capital to take the exam?

"Young master, don't be angry, but now that he has been admitted to the top prize, he will definitely come to repay your money. When the time comes, he is marrying the broom star of the Lu family, then he will be proud of the spring breeze. ”

The little guy showed a wicked smile, but the young master of the Li family was angry, "Phew, he still wants to marry a daughter-in-law, but he is just a poor and sour, the girl of the Lu family? Hmph, Lao Tzu will let him marry!"

The little guy laughed even more, "Young master?"

"Let's go!"

The young master of the Li family took the four little servants to hide at the foot of the thatched house of the Lu family, "You go, you go and tell the person surnamed Lu, and say that He Ren's kid is back and is waiting for her at the entrance of the village." ”

The little maid Meizizi walked into Lu's house and deceived Lu Li out, and her mother-in-law stood in the house and looked at Lu Li's rushing back through the window, and shook her head helplessly, "Stupid, sooner or later there will be times when you will be sad." ”

As soon as Lu Li came out, he was knocked unconscious by the Li family's little guy and put in a sack, Lu Li didn't know anything, and when he woke up, he saw five heads looking at him in a circle. Lu Li hurriedly sat up, "What are you doing?"

The young master of the Li family smiled and didn't smile, "Don't be afraid, little beauty, let the young master hurt you well." The boys laughed too.

"Don't come here!" Lu Li got up and ran to see that this was halfway up Shunlai Mountain.

"Come, catch!" The little guys came up and grabbed Lu Li and escorted her to the young master of the Li family, "Let me tell you, there is no brother of you He Ren here to save you, what do you think this is?" The young master of the Li family took out an IOU with a face, "See, that poor sour owes me ten taels of silver, he didn't pass the exam and came back with no face, and now he can only use you to pay off the debt!"

"You talk nonsense! You let go of me, you let go of me!"

The fat face of the young master of the Li family trembled, "Hahaha, it's done, come on, little beauty, if you serve the uncle well, the uncle will let you be my seventh aunt, hahaha"

In the laughter of the little guys, Lu Li was picked up from his waist by the young master of the Li family and walked into the forest, Lu Li struggled desperately, but there was only the laughter of the little guys in his ears.
