Chapter 459: Watermelons and Cicadas
Following.
"Come, come, sit here, sit here......"
In the hall of Ouye's house, under the greeting of Ouyeel Qingluo, Li Yunsheng and Tang Beidou, who were covered with bandages, sat on the floor in the middle of the hall, and a small coffee table was placed in the middle of the people.
Qingluo, who learned that Li Yunsheng would stay, although she hadn't figured out why her grandfather suddenly changed his mind, Li Yunsheng was able to stay, which still made her happy.
As for Li Yunsheng, Ou Yetan verbally agreed to recast the herring, but the premise was to help Ou Ye's family tide over the current difficulties and deliver those blades on time.
However, because the fire in Liuzhou was too strong before noon, the blacksmiths in Hongli City all opened the furnace after noon, so several people took advantage of this time to rest here.
After observing and questioning for most of the day from last night to now, Li Yunsheng has a general understanding of the situation of the Ouye family at this time.
Roughly speaking, starting from the disaster set off by the Immortal Alliance and Yan Prison ten years ago, the originally huge Ouyee family was disintegrated by the Immortal Alliance little by little.
At first, the ancestral sword furnace was sealed, and then some of Ou Yetan's sons were sent to other state capitals, and the strongest eldest son was sent to Yan Prison on some trumped-up charges.
And those disciples of Ou Yetan, almost without exception, all rebelled against the Immortal Mansion, and the six uncles in Qingluo's mouth before were one of them, and before they left, they also carved up most of the Ou Ye family's industries in front of Ou Yetan.
At this time, the Ouyee family almost had its last breath left, and it was Ou Yetan who was hanging this last breath, it can be said that if Ou Yetan left, this once prominent sword-casting family in the ten states would also disappear in the ten states.
As the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, the Ouyee family has declined, but at least this old mansion and the furnishings in the old mansion are still very elegant.
The entire old mansion, including the wooden floor and coffee table, is made of extremely rare Luo Yanmu.
The wood used to build a house with this smoke wood is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is not easy to burn, no matter how the heat outside the house is turbulent, the inside of the house is still very cool, and it is the first choice for large households in Liuzhou to build houses.
"What did you say to my grandfather after I left yesterday afternoon?"
Ouyeel Qingluo sat cross-legged on a small pouch mat, first took a sip of tea, and then tilted his head and asked Li Yunsheng.
Her hair was curled up at this time, revealing a slender white and slender neck, and the whole person looked extremely delicate and agile.
Just as she asked Li Yunsheng, an old woman who was over the age of sixteen smiled and brought them a plate of cut watermelon.
This is the only remaining servant in the Ouyee family, but his eyes and ears are not very good, and he can only do some cleaning and other tasks on weekdays.
"I didn't say anything, your grandfather was drunk, so he agreed in a daze. ”
Li Yunsheng said very sincerely, he hasn't blinked since he lied when he had no face.
As he spoke, he took a slice of watermelon from the old woman's hand and ate it in a big gulp.
In front of Qingluo, Ou Yetan and Li Yunsheng kept silent about the content of the conversation between the two yesterday afternoon, and the two tacitly did not want Qingluo to be involved.
"Forget it...... Anyway, Grandpa promised you to stay. ”
Qingluo didn't dwell on this problem anymore. She was wearing a particularly cool dress today, wearing a light gauze shirt that showed her white arms and calves.
After muttering this, she also smiled and took a piece of watermelon from the old woman's hand, and then sat down and ate it regardless of her image.
At this moment, among the three of them, Tang Beidou, who was the youngest in the grade, ate the most, not only eating in small bites, but also carefully spitting melon seeds into a small bowl beside him.
However, every time he took a small bite, he would glance at Li Yunsheng intentionally or unintentionally.
"Brother Dashi, have we met somewhere?"
Finally, Tang Beidou, who had been staring at Li Yunsheng secretly for a long time, still spoke, and the big stone in his mouth was the name that Qingluo casually gave Li Yunsheng.
"We shouldn't have seen it, have we?"
Li Yunsheng glanced at Tang Beidou very naturally, and then threw the leftover melon skin into a wooden barrel next to him, and then said to Tang Beidou.
However, although the look on his face at this time was as if nothing happened, his heart was very different.
Because it was the first person he recognized after putting on the mask.
And he could see that Tang Beidou didn't ask casually, but after careful consideration.
"You knew each other before you came?"
Qingluo, who was holding a slice of watermelon in one hand, also joined in the excitement and said curiously.
"No, it's not...... It's also possible that I'm mistaken, I haven't seen Brother Dashi's appearance, but I always feel very similar to a big brother I met in Loulan City before, if it weren't for this big brother, I might have died in the dry sea. ”
As soon as Qingluo asked, Tang Beidou instantly became a little bottomless.
However, hearing this, Li Yunsheng on the side basically confirmed that the other party really recognized him.
"It is impossible to see through the changed appearance without face, it should be that this child's soul is more special, and it may be ...... Like you, it's a god-given soul. ”
As if hearing the doubts in Li Yunsheng's heart, Gongsun Ranlong in the mask said to him.
"No wonder the power of the divine soul in those talismans before him was so abundant. ”
Li Yunsheng was relieved.
"Huh, little Beidou, why haven't I heard you talk about this, who is this big brother?"
Qingluo, who was eating melons on the side, was interested.
"I don't actually know what that big brother is called. ”
Tang Beidou scratched his head with some shame.
Then he told Qingluo about the encounter with Li Yunsheng in the dry sea that day.
"Little Beidou, you are so stupid!"
After Qingluo heard this, she patted Tang Beidou's head a little speechlessly.
"If someone asks you to bury yourself, you really bury yourself. ”
She said with some tears and laughter.
"I, I just think that if he is really willing to buy my talisman, if he doesn't, he will miss this opportunity in vain, my father told me that if you want to live, even if it is a piece of grass, you must hold on to it. ”
Tang Beidou scratched his head again, his expression was still a little restrained, but his tone was very firm.
"Silly, really stupid. ”
Qingluo didn't say much, just flicked a little on his head, and then continued to eat his own watermelon.
"After you entered the dry sea, these people didn't trouble you?"
Li Yunsheng stared at Tang Beidou with interest and asked.
"Yes. ”
Hearing this question, Tang Beidou was obviously stunned for a moment before answering.
"And how did you get rid of them?"
Li Yunsheng had actually been curious about what he had experienced in the dry sea since he was sure that this young man had walked out of the dry sea alive.
Hearing this, Tang Beidou hesitated again, and finally he glanced at Ouye Qingluo, who was beside him with big watery eyes and looking at it with the same curiosity, before he spoke.
"I didn't get rid of them, I killed ......"
"Then you must not have met them, did you?"
Tang Beidou was interrupted by Li Yunsheng before he could speak, he had already guessed what Tang Beidou was doing in the dry sea, and he interrupted Tang Beidou just because he didn't want Qingluo to hear it.
"Well, I didn't. ”
Obviously, Tang Beidou also understood Li Yunsheng's intentions, and immediately didn't say anything more.
"What, I'm still going to listen to the story of Xiao Beidou fighting the black marketeer, boring ......"
Ouyeel Qingluo immediately picked up the watermelon with interest.
So the three of them continued to gather around the coffee table, listening to the sound of cicadas outside the house, eating watermelon, and chatting one sentence at the same time.
"It's time to get to work. ”
It didn't take long for Ou Yetan to come out of the back room.
Immediately, several people stood up, and Ouye Qingluo glanced at Li Yunsheng a little nervously and said:
"Whether you can deliver on time or not depends on you, and you must use your strength to smash those people that day. ”
