Chapter 2 I don't know the village
For Ignorant Village, a mysterious old man is enough to talk about for a long time. All kinds of rumors also spread more and more amazingly, some people even claimed that they saw the old man flying away on the fairy sword, and some people said that looking at the old man did not look like a living person, either a spirit in the mountains, or a lonely ghost wandering the world. As time passes, the few popular talking points in the village gradually lose their sexuality.
Only Li Erzhu at the edge of the village still firmly believes that the old man is a god. "That old man is a mortal immortal at a glance, the old fairy sees that my Li family is kind, and also gave my son a string of beads to drive away evil spirits and bless him. ”
But this is indeed the case, maybe it is the blessing of the beads, the child of the Li family did not cry or make trouble when he was born, and his eyes were straight at Li Erzhu's hand beads on the table, hehe was happy.
Even the child learned to walk in a few months and was able to speak fluently at the age of more than a year. Seeing this, Li Erzhu simply put the beads on the child's hand, intending that the old fairy would continue to bless his child. The people of the village were also amazed, believing that the child had a natural wisdom root. There will be a big deal in the future.
It's a pity that it backfired, the child began to be three years old, and led the children in the village to make trouble in the village, stealing a chicken from the Liu family today, disguised as a weasel, the old lady of the Liu family who believed in the gods recited the scriptures for three days with fear, wanting to exchange for Wong Tai Sin's forgiveness. Tomorrow, I stabbed the honeycomb on the old tree in the village for I don't know how many years it has grown, and the whole village was so scared that the whole village did not dare to go out casually for several days.
The originally peaceful small mountain village has become a chicken, as long as someone makes trouble, there is no doubt that it must be the Li family kid who did it.
One day, the village chief, who was over seventy years old, stopped using crutches, and walked to Li Erzhu's house angrily, "Daughter-in-law of the Li family, your iron egg has driven the only cow in the village crazy, and has run around the village more than a dozen times!" The village chief's fingers trembled angrily, "If you don't care about it anymore, I guess one day he will ride on my head and pull out my beard!"
The daughter-in-law of the Li family was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly found her own man Li Erzhu, as the village chief found Li Tiedan hiding in the tree, Li Erzhu didn't say a word, and pulled down Li Tiedan is a beating, and finally the village chief was angry, so he persuaded Li Erzhu to take it away.
That's right, the hero of this story is this child who is kneeling on the ground with a blue nose and a swollen face and sweating profusely - Li Tiedan. For this name, Tie Dan's heart was full of resentment, "What kind of sin did you create in your last life, so you were born in his Li Erzhu family, never be reasonable, and beat him if he made a mistake." You also gave me this name, and what kind of cheap name is easy to feed, and let me reincarnate have a grudge against me, right?"
In the void, there seemed to be a sneeze. "Strange, how can my Heavenly Venerable body catch a cold?" muttered to himself.
"Say, why did you hit that cow?" Li Erzhu sat on the chair angrily and looked at Li Tiedan, who was kneeling on the ground with an unconvinced expression.
"I heard from the people in the village that the tears of the cow can see the gods and ghosts, I want to see if the old fairy who gave me the beads back then is still there, who knows if the cow is dead or alive, I can only stab him in the ass with an awl. Li Tiedan raised his head and argued.
Li Erzhu's eyes widened, but it was about the old immortal back then, and he couldn't punish Tie Dan anymore, he was stunned for a moment, and said in a slightly slower tone, "Then you can't tie that old cow for this, that's the only ploughing cow in the village, if you stab the cow to death, what will the village point to farming?"
Li Tiedan sighed in annoyance, then lowered his head and stopped talking, Li Erzhu saw this, and sighed, "Get up, it's weird and cold on the ground." I ran away without eating for a day, and today I caught a pheasant from the mountains, and let your mother stew it for you later. ”
Li Tiedan jumped up with a swish, and happily threw himself into Li Erzhu's arms, "Dad, you are so good! I have to be filial to you in the future."
"You stinky boy, it is estimated that I will be angry with you in two years, and I will still be filial!" Li Erzhu pretended to be angry, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can the tears of the old scalper really see the immortals?"
"Really!"
Li Erzhu's mother and Li Erzhu's daughter-in-law looked at the father and son with a smile and began to prepare dinner.
That night, the four members of the Li family had just finished dinner, and the village chief arrived at the Li family with a cigarette bag in his mouth, and the village chief was no longer angry during the day, and looked at Li Tiedan with a smile in his eyes, and the iron egg was furious, "Grandpa the village chief, I shouldn't have beaten that old scalper, I also knew that I was wrong, and I was beaten, let it pass."
Without waiting for the village chief to speak, Li Tiedan hurriedly said, what kind of joke, his father Li Erzhu usually respects the village chief the most, and if the village chief sues again, he may be beaten. As the so-called person who knows the times is a handsome man, it is important to save his life from being beaten.
"You bad boy, it's over. But today I have another matter, a good thing" The village chief shook his head with a smile, and then said mysteriously, "The county is recruiting people to enroll, and they must be children under the age of eight. This is a great thing, I heard that if you can really enter that academy, you can be a big official when you come out, and I also heard that some talented and intelligent dolls have been favored by the gods, and they have chosen to go to the sky to be immortals!"
Li Tiedan's eyes widened when he heard this, Rao is a heartless child like him, and he was also shocked by these words, he wanted to cultivate and become an immortal since he was a child, but he couldn't find a way to do it in the books in the village.
He had long suspected that the fairy stories told by the people in the village were fake, which fairy would be so stupid?
In this way, what the village chief said should be true, if you can be an immortal, it must not be an ordinary person, you must be selected from many people.
Li Tiedan pondered in his heart for a long time, and his father and grandmother also recovered from the shock. Li Erzhu couldn't believe it and asked, "Village chief, even this kid with Tie Dan can also go to the county to study, and he may be able to be favored by the gods?"
The two women of the Li family glared at Li Erzhu fiercely, "Why can't our iron eggs, this kid is smart" The old lady of the Li family was unhappy.
"Yes, I've lived for more than 70 years, it's really the first time I've seen such a smart child as Tiedan, and besides, Tiedan's child also has a fairy fate, and he was given a baby by an old fairy before he was born, you see which child in the village didn't get sick twice when he was a child, Tie Dan was as strong as a calf since he was a child, isn't this a fairy blessing?" The old village chief hurriedly followed the words of the old lady of the Li family.
The most proud thing in Li Erzhu's heart is that he met the old fairy, and at this moment, when he heard the village chief mention this, he felt that what the village chief said was very reasonable, and he patted his thigh and pointed at the triumphant Li Tiedan and said, "Then let Tie Dan try, if you can't do it, you can see it anyway." ”
The village chief said happily, "Then it's decided, let's go to the town tomorrow to report, don't miss the time, ruin the future of the iron egg." After speaking, he took two puffs of cigarette and walked away slowly.
Left two women of the Li family with sad faces, and a red-faced Li Erzhu and a Li Tiedan who didn't know what they were thinking. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the Li family.
