Chapter 111: Old Stories of the Yue Kingdom (3)
People always have a feeling of homesickness, even if Li Shan has become a monk, he can't avoid this inexplicable emotion, so the more Li Shan moves in the direction of Daqing Mountain, the more apprehensive his heart becomes, even the state of mind during the foundation building period can't let him get rid of all the nervousness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 With Li Shan's eyesight, he saw a village at the foot of Daqing Mountain from a distance, this village was ordinary, and even some houses had collapsed and could not continue to live at all.
Li Shan stood at the entrance of the village for a long time and was a little distracted, since he became a monk, Li Shan's memory has been much stronger, even the memory of when he was two or three years old when he was a child can be recalled, he remembered that when he was a child, he carried a small bamboo basket on his back from this slightly rotten wooden door number, and carried an ax in the bamboo basket, which he was going to Daqing Mountain to collect firewood to supplement his family, and the axe behind his back was to prevent himself from being helpless when he was attacked by wild beasts.
Li Shan still remembers that he once went up the mountain and turned out to be a lone wolf, the wolf was very old, and most of the hair on his body had fallen out, but the green eyes that were still full of wild made people shudder, Li Shan still remembered that he was almost scared and reacted stupidly and threw the axe directly at the old wolf, and then turned around and ran, I don't know if it was because Li Shan's axe hit the old wolf, Li Shan ran all the way down the mountain unharmed. Afterwards, Li Shan naturally told his father about this incident, but he didn't believe Li Shan's words, and only made up a lie because Li Shan was afraid of punishment because he lost his axe, and beat Li Shan. After that, Li Shan didn't say anything about it anymore and listened to his father.
Now it seems that the cultivation of his character is also thanks to his irresponsible father, otherwise Li Shan always felt that he would die early in King Jing's mansion, where would he become the current one. But when he was young, Li Shan sometimes resented his father, why only his brother was a son, and he could only be a handyman, thinking back to the original life, it was not like this, the father's excessive partiality can be seen by anyone, and children can feel it.
And his father is also lazy and rough by nature, and someone has stopped him like this, but his father still goes his own way, and he doesn't pay attention to the muttering of the villagers.
But now Li Shan is looking at it widely, after all, cause and effect have their own cycle, if it weren't for Li Shan's experience of such a trembling life and cultivating such a temperament, and leaving home to go to King Jing's Mansion, he would have had the opportunity to become a monk. Now that I think about it, Li Shan is still embarrassed and sighs at the wonder of fate.
"Are you ......" At this time, there was an old man who had been seeing Li Shan stay at the entrance of the village and did not come in, but he was stunned by the wooden pillar at the head of the village, and after looking at the old man for a long time, he finally couldn't help but step forward and ask, without him, it was really Li Shan's actions that were too weird, so people had to doubt.
Li Shan looked up, and immediately overlapped a face with the person in his memory, this old man was the old head of the village, and now he was old, his hair and beard were all white and wrinkled, and his body was much thinner than eleven years ago. This old Zhang Tou is the person who once persuaded Li Shan's father, and even almost fought with Li Shan's father, he is a very good man, otherwise he would not have moved to the village to guard the village by himself.
"This old man, who is a scholar who entered Beijing, please forgive me for entering here by mistake, can you let me use it for one night, and there will be a good reward in the next. Not to mention, Li Shan's outfit at the moment is indeed very much like a scholar, with a robe draped over his body, and he knows that he is a person of knowledge at a glance.
As soon as I heard that it was a reader, the old face immediately smiled, there are not many readers, although Daqingshan is close to the imperial city, there is still a distance from the imperial city, and the average scholar does not want to come here, it is too dilapidated here. These mortal villagers felt that they were good readers, and as long as they read books, they could get ahead, so their attitude towards Li Shan was much better, and they didn't even doubt it, and they took Li Shan to live in their own yard without doubt.
Lao Zhangtou's home is considered to be good in the whole village, but there is still a sense of dilapidation. Li Shan didn't pick and lived directly in the side room of Lao Zhangtou's house, and after a while, a runny boy walked in with a cow, and Lao Zhangtou immediately brought the little baby to Li Shan and introduced: "Sir, this is my little baby, the second baby, don't call Mr!"
The second baby glanced at Li Shan, and then looked at Mr. honestly. Li Shan also laughed, then took out a jade bottle from his arms, handed the jade bottle to the second baby and said: "I don't have anything to give you, just give you a bottle of sugar pills, remember not to eat too much at once, otherwise the sugar will be gone." ”
The second baby's eyes lit up immediately when he heard that it was a sugar pill inside, but Lao Zhangtou saw that the jade bottle containing the sugar pill was not ordinary, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sir, this is this...... This is unacceptable!" He originally asked his baby's child to come over to see if it was possible for this scholar to accept his baby's baby as an apprentice, and he would be able to be a scholar in the future, but he didn't expect this gentleman to give such a superb jade bottle, and he was suddenly a little panicked.
"It's fine, it's just jelly beans, it's not a big deal. Li Shan smiled, he naturally understood what Lao Zhangtou was going to say, but the jelly beans Li Shan gave were not just sweet, they were a mild elixir, and children could continue to improve their physique after eating them, which could be regarded as repaying their kindness when they were young. As for the jade bottle, it was carried by the way, Li Shan didn't have a cheaper bottle to contain the elixir, and besides, this bottle could also be exchanged for a fortune for Lao Zhangtou to renovate the house. Killing two birds with one stone, Li Shan naturally will not be stingy.
"Uncle, why are there only your grandfather and grandson, the child's parents?" Li Shan asked suspiciously, when he was a child, Li Shan had a good relationship with Lao Zhangtou's son, and his son often took Li Shan to dig birds' nests to catch rabbits, and even sometimes helped Li Shan work, Li Shan asked when he saw that his once kind-hearted little brother was nowhere to be seen.
"The child's parents are now working in the fields and will be back when it's time to eat. Lao Zhangtou said.
Li Shan nodded, just knowing that the person was fine.
The time soon came to the evening, and Li Shan also met the little brother who had a good relationship with him, which was also a wish.
In the dead of night, Li Shan sneaked out of Lao Zhangtou's house, he had already checked the entire village with his divine sense, but found that the old site of his house was inhabited again, there was a young couple in it, the young man looked slightly familiar, Li Shan wanted to take a look.
When he arrived at the place, Li Shan stood outside silently watching the candles in the room shine, the young man was lying on the bed teasing the child at the moment, and the woman on the side was sewing clothes with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Li Shan sighed, that man was his brother Li Qing, he hadn't seen Li Qing for eleven years, and the arrogance between Li Qing's eyebrows was gone, replaced by calmness and softness, it is said that he and his father went south to do business, maybe they ran into a wall outside, and then they matured a lot and even became a family.
Silently watching everything in the room, Li Shan finally didn't bother them and turned to leave.
