Two sturdy cabins, one is a firewood room, one is a bedroom, plus half an acre of vegetable fields in front of the house, this is all the property of Li Mu and Li Gui brothers, and they have also tried to raise some chickens and ducks, but because Li Gui is always too greedy, they can only give up.

The brothers' parents left early, thanks to the help of the people in the village, they did not die early, especially Aunt Zhang, who married in the town, who was very attentive to them and has been taking care of their own children. These two boys are also competitive, when they were five or six years old, they knew how to help work, and when they were older, they could even go up the mountain to chop firewood to supplement the family, which was appreciated by the villagers.

"I won't eat anymore, I still have something to do, Aunt Zhang, eat slowly." After Li Gui finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks and hurried home.

"Xiao Gui, Xiao Gui, hey, this kid, everything is fine, it's just too frizzy, how can you be as calm as Xiao Mu. Aunt Zhang looked out the door and sandwiched a piece of potato for Li Mu, "Eat more, it's the time to grow your body, you can't be hungry." ”

"Of course Ah Mu is calm, otherwise how can it be called wood. There was also a young man at the small dinner table, thirteen or fourteen years old, with a white face, an extraordinary appearance, and a bit of a scholarly atmosphere.

"Shucheng, what do you say, after reading a book for a few days, you will only bury people?" Aunt Zhang raised her chopsticks to knock her head.

Li Shucheng shrank his head in fright, "Oh, Ah Niang, I'm not joking, you don't care about Ah Mu." ”

"Aunt Zhang, I'm done eating too, you eat slowly, I'll go back too." Li Mu put down his chopsticks at this time and said, then thought about it and said: "I shouldn't come to help you chop wood this afternoon, you put it in the backyard first, and I'll come over early tomorrow morning to help you chop." ”

"Eh, eh?" Seeing that Li Mu was also hurrying home, Aunt Zhang poked Li Shucheng's head with her finger, "Look at you, let Xiao Mu be angry and leave, do you treat them as your own brothers." ”

"No, Ah Mu is not such a person who gets angry, why do I think they are weird today, they should worship their parents and are in a bad mood. ”

Having said that, Li Mu just rushed home, and when he walked outside the firewood room, he heard Li Gui's heavy gasping sound, pushed the door and went in to take a look, only to see Li Gui digging desperately on the ground with a hoe.

"It seems that you are not stupid, guessing that your father and mother are extraordinary. Seeing this, Li Mu leaned against the door with his hands on his chest, paused, and said: "It's a pity that you will be disappointed after all, there is nothing here, and there is nothing in the bedroom." ”

"What do you say? How do you know, I don't believe it, there must be, martial arts cheats, peerless magic weapons, elixirs, there will always be the same, there will always be. Li Gui was taken aback, but then gritted his teeth again and dug up desperately.

"Enough!" Li Mu snatched the hoe from Li Gui's hand, "Don't dig it, I've dug it all, when you went out to play or secretly went to Mr. Li's to listen to the class, I dug it all, and there was nothing." ”

At this time, Li Gui was really stunned, and wondered: "Why, why did you already know?"

Li Mu was not in a hurry to explain, "You go take a bath first, take a rest, you can buy some good things with these silver taels in your hand, and I will make you roast chicken to eat at night, what do you want to know, I will tell you when the time comes, although I don't know much." ”

Li Gui didn't refute after hearing this, he washed it hastily, it seemed that he was really tired, and he fell asleep after a while.

Li Gui slept for a long time in this afternoon, and also had a long dream, dreaming that his sword was all over the world, chivalrous and happy, dreaming that he was admired by thousands of people and feeling uncomfortable, and dreaming that the beauty threw himself into his arms and hugged the warm jade and warm fragrance.

"Gui, Gui, it's time to eat. In a daze, Li Gui opened his eyes, and there was an expressionless face in his eyes.

"Hey, bad luck, disturb my dreams, but I said wood, when will you laugh, blind this face like mine. Muttering a few words, a smell of meat hit, Li Gui snorted, and immediately ran to the dinner table, "It is worthy of being my good little brother, this roast chicken is made at a good level." ”

On the table, looking at the rice that had been served in front of him and the chicken legs buried in the rice, Li Gui's mood suddenly dropped, and what happened to him made him decide to spit out the thoughts that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "Wood, I want to go out and break through, will you stop me?"

"No, it won't. Li Mu looked at him quietly, "You have never been different from others, if it weren't for your young age, I would have let you out a long time ago, this village is just a cage for you." ”

"It's different? What's different. Li Gui said and put a piece of chicken in his brother's bowl and waited for Li Mu to finish.

"You will go to Mr. Li's private school to eavesdrop, but you go a few times and then don't go anymore, others only say that you are not a reading material, although I don't know much, but I know, never forget the ability to memorize like a stream, that is by no means everyone has. Li Mu's eyes were deep, and he stared straight at Li Gui, "You are also a smart person, I know that Mu Xiu will destroy him in the forest wind, and never show his intelligence in front of others, which I am very pleased with." I have known for a long time that we are different from mortals, and have you noticed that the faces of my parents should also be fake, especially my mother, the skin color of her neck is too different from her face, and now I think it should be due to the disguise. ”

"I also wondered if my parents had left us anything, even a little gold and silver, but I was disappointed that there was nothing, they seemed to be willing to be ordinary, and wanted us to be ordinary for the rest of our lives. Li Mu's voice gradually deepened, and there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

"Wait, wait, I'm really talented at reading, but how do you know. Li Gui interrupted immediately when he heard half of it.

"Because I am your eldest brother, and the eldest brother is like a father, of course I am concerned about your every move. ”

"Hey, hey, I'm the elder brother!" Li Gui immediately protested.

Li Mu did not refute, and continued to take care of himself: "I have no doubt about your talent, but you are far inferior to me in guarding against others, in fact, I don't know if you are really defenseless or pretending, for example, you seemed to be unsuspecting this morning but did not reveal your real name, although we have no power to resist." But I still hope you'll be cautious when you're out and about. ”

After Li Mu finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, his expression became extremely serious, and he said: "Actually, I am more worried, whether my parents are living in seclusion here, whether they are tired of the legendary rivers and lakes, or whether they are hiding from the enemy." ”

Li Gui took two mouthfuls of rice and whispered: "But I still want to go out, I want to see the outside world, after seeing the martial arts master today, I want to know more about what the rivers and lakes are." ”

"You even want to find out the truth about your father's death, don't you? So even if you are talented, you still don't want to take the path of studying and testing for fame, you want to enter the legendary rivers and lakes. ”

Li Gui lowered his head and stopped talking, but there was a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Tomorrow, Shucheng will go to the town to study at the academy in Qinghe County with a few students, you can join them, and your relationship with Shucheng should not be a big problem. You take the rest of the silver taels as a coil, and when you arrive in Qinghe County, you leave alone on the pretext of doing small jobs to earn some change, and go your own way. After Li Mu finished speaking, he stared at Li Gui motionlessly, and looked at Li Gui's heart and hair, and then he spoke again: "You must remember what I am going to say next, when you start to break through alone, you will have nothing to do with Lijia Village, don't drag down the villagers here because of you, from now on you are no longer Li Gui, your name is Li Yuntian." ”

Li Gui scratched his head and said puzzledly: "What you said is too exaggerated, how can it be so terrifying, I still want to come back every once in a while to see something." Seeing Li Mu's serious eyes without a hint of jokes, he could only reluctantly accept, "Okay, okay, listen to you, what about you, won't you go with me? And the name you gave, I might as well call it Li Fugui." ”

Li Mu didn't seem to know what a joke was, and still replied coldly: "Mr. Li's Aunt Zhang's family treats us well, I have to do my filial piety for them for three years, and then I will go to you, I hope you have achieved something by then." As for your new name, you are destined to stand tall in the clouds and look down on the world, and don't let me down. ”

Li Gui seemed to have long been accustomed to his brother's appearance, so he smiled and pretended to pat Li Mu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, my good little brother, when I make a career, I will let you share the honor with me." Li Gui thought about it for a while, and then said: "What about you, you will also change your name, it won't really be called wood." ”

"Remember clearly, Li Yunxiao. ”
