Li Qingxue's body trembled in shock, and the notebook suddenly fell off her hand and fell to the ground with a bang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she realized that she was thinking too simply, she was not the only teenage girl in the valley, the fourth grandfather wanted to leave Lin Dui, just point a girl to him casually, and he was not the only key.

But now that the words have been spoken, what reason does she have to regret it? She can't change her words immediately, telling the fourth grandfather that he lied just now, but in fact, he doesn't dislike Lin Dui. The little girl was flustered for a moment, and stood there helpless.

Li Haichao was annoyed, and he didn't know what kind of crazy daughter he had suddenly made. The old man's intention to leave Lin Duan has been decided, and it is impossible to change it with his usual stubbornness, so no matter from which point of view, Li Haichao can only hold this child firmly in his hands. Born in the realm of star change, rare and unique qualifications, it must be stronger than his own daughter, even in the outside world full of talents, he will be a leader in cultivation, such a child can enter the valley is a chance to fall from the sky, who doesn't want to turn him into his own family? But his baby daughter wants to push him to others.

He hurriedly stopped the old man, stepped forward and said, "Fourth grandfather, don't listen to her." How can this kind of thing make her a girl in charge, I brought it back, of course I have to be my son-in-law. ”

The old man shook his head: "Haichao, what you said is not right. Marriage is a matter of happiness for the children's lives, how can they go against their own wishes? Let's go, follow me to find the sixth child. ”

The old man said, squinting at the girl who was standing there with her head bowed silently, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. He knows the temperament of this great-granddaughter best, and he accommodates others in everything on weekdays, even if he really doesn't like Lin Dui, it is impossible to refuse it on this ground, and he knows that she sees that Lin Dui doesn't want to stay here, so she ran over to make such a fuss, just to let himself go.

The old man's bamboo cane touched the ground, bypassing Li Haichao and slowly walking towards the courtyard gate. When Li Haichao saw it, he hurriedly caught up with him again, and said hurriedly: "They are all older children, they don't understand anything, how can they believe their words?"

The old man waved his hand a little unhappily: "Qingxue is not the bastard boy of Qingshi, she is talented and intelligent, although she is young, she has a bright heart, and she is more sensible than a teenager, why can't she believe her words?"

"That's not going to work......"

"Why not?"

Li Haichao tried his best to stop it unwillingly, the stubborn little old man blew his beard and glared at him, and the two were facing each other, but they saw Qingxue who was stunned on the side biting her lip lightly, leaning over to pick up the book on the ground, and quickly ran to the old man, and knelt down with a skirt. The two of them were stunned again, and the old man immediately frowned and asked, "You kid, what's wrong with this?"

Li Qingxue took out the pencil she carried with her, quickly wrote a line of words in the notebook, flipped it over and handed it to the old man. The old man took it suspiciously, leaned in front of him, and saw that it was written: "I'm sorry I lied to you, but I have something I want to tell you alone." ”

The old man smiled knowingly, folded the notebook and handed it to the girl, and said, "Get up quickly, come with me to the study." He turned his head to Li Haichao, who was stunned, and said, "If you have something, you can go, you can drink a few cups of flower tea in the living room, I want to have a good chat with Qingxue!"

Although Li Haichao didn't see the words on the notebook, he thought about it and knew that Qingxue had remorse, as if he had seen a ray of light again, how could he leave when he was restless, and hurriedly smiled: "Okay, okay, I'm really hungry for your old flower tea, so sit down for a while." Xiaoxue, don't talk nonsense and make grandpa angry again!"

After Li Haichao finished speaking, he went to the living room by himself, while Li Qingxue stood up and helped the old man into the study.

It is also a house surrounded by brocade flowers, with colorful and picturesque flowers on the four walls, and the fragrance of flowers in the room. As the patriarch of this generation, the old man kept a lot of ancestral antiquities and books, most of which were stored in this study, and the six rows of tall rosewood bookshelves were very spectacular. Next to the south window is a desk, on which there are all kinds of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Li Qingxue helped the old man sit down at the table, and she sat on the other side, and began to skillfully study ink, lay paper, and write with a pen.

Li Qingxue can't speak, the old man doesn't know sign language, and the communication between the grandparents and grandchildren can only be carried out between words. Every time the girl writes a line, she pushes the rice paper to the old man. The old man didn't speak after reading it, and used the same way as the girl, writing down his reply and then handing it to the girl.

"Grandpa, is your "Glass Flower Dictionary" almost finished?" Li Qingxue came up and asked something that seemed unrelated.

"You girl, why do you suddenly ask this? Are you still afraid that grandpa I won't pass on the Flower Book to you?" the old man replied.

"No, I'm just curious, what is the purpose of your painstaking life, inheriting the experience of your predecessors in flower essences, and creating a new culture of flower essences, and working so hard to compile such a huge work?"

"Well, it's not for you juniors. Flowers and plants are almost the only resources in my glazed valley, if we don't make the flower essence to the extreme, what can we rely on to make a comeback and revive the prestige of our ancestors?"

"Grandpa, does our Li clan really have the day to make a comeback?"

"Of course. As long as Taoguang is obscure and has a good taste, after our clan is prosperous, what is the difficulty of making a comeback? Our Li clan is not only a blood spirit devouring technique, but also a leader with thirteen ancestral secret techniques!"

"However, I have heard that the birds raised in cages will not forage for food on their own when they are released into the woods, and will either starve to death or be killed by other birds. The Glazed Valley is different from the outside world, and I am afraid that I will be the bird raised in a cage. ”

The old man was stunned for a long time after reading this passage, and then threw the pen on the table.

His mood was stirring like a tide, and he couldn't help but think of Li Xiaoyun, who had said something similar. At that time, he was still raising a pair of green-haired parrots, Li Xiaoyun was twelve or thirteen years old, he learned flower essence with himself, and he liked to tease parrots when he had nothing to do, but suddenly one day she ran over very unhappily, pouted and said: "Grandpa, my brother said that we are all parrots in this cage, born in the cage, dead in the cage, and will not do anything out of the cage." Why did he say that?"

The old man was so embarrassed that he smashed the cage that night and let the two parrots go.

He couldn't care less than those words. Many clansmen think that they seal their bloodlines and live in seclusion outside the world, and from then on they can only be willing to be small people from generation to generation, but in fact, this is not the case. Zhengde Ancestor gave up reincarnation to protect the clansmen, but did he want to raise a group of caged bird-like children and descendants? He wanted the clansmen to recuperate and develop, so as to reinvigorate the prestige of the family when it was in its heyday. Revenge must be avenged, hatred must be snowed, even if it is a hundred years and thousands of years, thousands of years, they can wait, as long as there is hope.

But that hope is so slim. Nearly 200 years in the glazed valley is like a dream, the years in the mountains are quiet, peaceful, the people have lived outside the world for a long time, where do they still know what the real world is like, and what is the difference with the birds in the cage?

It's not that the old man didn't have the intention of sending people into the world, but the Li clan is a criminal clan in the cultivation world, and the slightest carelessness will lead to trouble, in case the Liuli Valley is destroyed because of this, he will never be able to bear this responsibility. The only compromise he could make was to allow the clansmen who wanted to join the world to move out of the valley, but they had to change their names and surnames, and never mention that they were members of the Li clan, so that at least the Li clan's blood would be secretly spread to the outside world. It's just that every time someone moves out, the entrance to the valley has to be secretly replaced.

But family revival and revenge have always been a problem for the old man. He hasn't kept his mouth shut all these years not because he doesn't care, but because he cares too much. For the sake of his granddaughter, he could smash the bird cage and stop raising birds, Lin Du compared Liuli Valley to a quilt, and he was so angry that he trembled all over, and he hated to never sleep in the quilt again. Now that similar words came out of his great-granddaughter's mouth again, how could he pretend not to care?

Li Qingxue obviously did it on purpose. In the early morning, when she heard Lin Dui talk about the metaphor of the bed, she remembered what her aunt Li Xiaoyun had said to her in private. My aunt said that the valley was a birdcage, and each of them was a caged bird, and if they wanted to fly out, they had to fly out as soon as possible. But at that time, she never thought of flying out, and she didn't even think about flying out until she was walking on the street a moment ago, but when she understood that the fourth grandfather insisted on keeping Lin Dui, she suddenly made a decision.

She's going to fly.

Fly with Lin Dusk and fly out of this cage. This is the last resort to help Lin Dusk leave. No one knew that the girl's soft appearance and docile personality buried a stubborn heart, and she rarely had something she wanted to do, but now she just wanted to help Lin Du leave. Is there any reason? I don't think so, I just want to do it.

She never thinks about many things, not because she doesn't approve, but because she doesn't want to think about it. Just like Aunt Xiaoyun said that if you want to fly, you have to fly early, just like Lin Du said that no matter how cold you are, you have to get up, all of which are very reasonable, but she doesn't want to think about it. I was born here, I grew up here, everyone I knew was here, my ancestors were here, what reason do I have to think about going out? But once I started thinking about it, the thoughts that echoed in my ears a hundred times and tossed and turned in my head a thousand times were like a flood that burst the embankment, and washed away all the emotions and beliefs she had held in the past.

She really wanted to fly.

The old man didn't know that she wanted to fly. The girl went around and around just to tell him that she didn't want to be a caged bird anymore. Although the old man thought it was very sudden, something more sudden than this had happened not long ago, and he was no longer surprised. Li Xiaoyun was simple and well-behaved, but she ran to save her brother, Li Qingxue was quiet and weak, and she was just a child, but she also wanted to fly away from the valley.

However, the old man was only stunned for a while, he looked at the girl's slightly uneasy little face in the sun, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that those who want to leave can't stay after all." In fact, I have long thought that it is a pity for a child like you, who is smart and well-qualified, to live a mediocre life in the valley. Lin Duan's kid is the same, I shouldn't have left him in the valley against my will, but grandpa and I have a hard time, if we can't have a few more outstanding descendants in this valley, where can we talk about revival and revenge?"

The old man paused, sighed, and said, "But I can't help but admit it, you're all right." This valley is indeed like a birdcage, it is easy to preserve the blood of our people, but it is even more difficult to revive our people. At the end of the day, you have to get out. ”

After Li Qingxue finished writing those words, she saw that the face of the fourth grandfather seemed to be suddenly much haggard, and she was also very sad, so she picked up the pen and dipped it in ink and hurriedly wrote: "No matter where I go, I am the Li family, and I will keep in mind the ancestral teachings of the Li family, reproduce the bloodline, and rejuvenate my clan." ”

The old man took the rice paper in front of his eyes and read the lines, nodded and said, "What a sensible child, but the more sensible you are, the more reluctant I am for you to leave." He picked up the pen, hesitated for a moment, slowly wrote the word "seven" on the paper, narrowed his eyes and continued: "Is it okay to stay in the valley for seven years? ”

Seven years, this time is not short, but not long. The old man really agreed, Li Qingxue's heart suddenly softened, and she burst into tears in a daze. She knows that going out of the valley is not traveling, and it is impossible to come back when she goes out, this is the rule in the valley, and when she thinks that she can only stay in the valley for seven years, she really wants to say that she will not leave, and she will stay in the valley forever and forever, after all, there are her dearest and loved ones here.

The girl was struggling in her heart, but she heard a familiar voice suddenly come from outside the hospital: "Sister! I've called my brother-in-law to you! Fourth grandfather, my brother-in-law said, if my sister doesn't marry, you are not allowed to beat the mandarin duck!"

The girl's face turned red suddenly, and she hurriedly put down the pen in her hand and looked out the window, only to see her younger brother kicking open the fence gate and dragging the sleepy-eyed Lin Dui into the yard.

It turned out that when Li Qingxue left the house, Li Qingshi quietly tiptoed behind him, followed him to the courtyard gate of the fourth grandfather's house, hid and heard the conversation in the courtyard clearly, as soon as he heard that his sister's marriage was going to be in the soup, he immediately spread his legs and ran back to the house, and lifted Lin Dui, who was still sleeping with his head covered, off the bed.

Lin Du didn't sleep all night, and was making up for sleep, when he was suddenly woken up, and his mind was ignorant, only to hear Li Qingshi ask in a daze: "Don't sleep, sleepy worm!" Do you like my sister or not?"

"I like it. Lin Du rubbed his eyes, feeling strange in his heart, Qingxue is very good, do you not like her? He didn't understand what Qingshi meant by this.

"Righteous enough! My sister is not good to you in vain!" Li Qingshi gritted his teeth and pulled him out: "You come with me, hurry up, it's too late, it's going to be trouble!"

Before Lin Duan woke up, he was dragged out of the courtyard by Li Qingshi, and ran to the door of the fourth grandfather's house again. This is the scene where Li Qingshi shouted and kicked open the fence gate and rushed into the courtyard, which was like a Liangshan hero who broke into the official office.

"Stinky boy, what are you shouting?" Li Haichao ran out of the living room first, but although his voice was loud, he didn't look angry at all. The son is obviously on the same front as Lao Tzu, and he is too late to be happy, so he is happy to let this bastard mess around.

Li Qingxue and the old man followed closely and walked out of the study. Qingxue helped the old man, lowered her head slightly, and her face was as ashamed as a big red cloth. The old man was holding a green bamboo cane and glared at Li Qingshi angrily. Li Qingshi immediately shrank his neck and retreated behind Lin Duan.

A light breeze blew, the fragrance of flowers was fragrant, Lin Du rubbed his eyes, and finally woke up completely, although he didn't know what was going on, but he heard the voice that Li Qingshi had just shouted, and it was not my sister who didn't marry, and it was a stick beating mandarin ducks, and he couldn't help but scratch his scalp. What is this? I haven't planned to promise to Qingxue yet. He still just wants to get out of the valley, he just wants to go home, and his mother is still waiting for him in Shashui City. Li Haichao refused to help him, so he would fight for it himself. So when he saw Li Qingxue and the fourth grandfather, he immediately stepped forward and asked the thin old man, "What the hell are you willing to let me out?"

The old man didn't think he was unreasonable, stroked his beard and smiled: "I still say the same thing, there is a river with waves outside, and my valley is a quiet stream, which is suitable for a little carp like you." Practicing here with me will get twice the result with half the effort, and in a few years, there will naturally be a time when you leap into the dragon gate, and then you will go out of the valley, and you will not be afraid of the wind and waves, is this good?"

He didn't mention Lin Dui's marriage contract with Qingxue again. This kid is resolute now, and the top priority is to persuade him to let him stay in the valley sincerely, and he has a period of six or seven years to imperceptibly, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to cultivate a relationship with Qingxue, but also allows him to integrate into the family and become half of the Li family.

Lin Dui's eyes brightened a little in an instant. The old man has given in, he plans to let himself go, although not now, at least he will not be locked up here for the rest of his life. He asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"How can I lie to you at my age?"

Lin Du scratched his head again: "I know it's good to practice here, but, but ......" He wanted to say, my mother is still outside, she will miss me, and I will miss her. At this time, Li Haichao coughed lightly and said to him: "Stay at ease, I will tell your family and let them rest assured." ”

Li Haichao didn't know about the seven-year agreement between the fourth grandfather and his daughter, so he just thought that this was the old man's delaying tactic, so he made peace on the side, so as to dispel Lin Duan's concerns. Lin Du saw that Li Haichao also said this, thinking that his mother knew that he was safe, so he shouldn't be so anxious, right? This is actually his biggest heart disease, and if he solves this heart disease, if he thinks about it carefully, it is indeed a good choice to stay in the valley to practice. He had seen life and death and experienced disasters, he knew that cultivation was the foundation of establishing a life to protect the people around him, he longed to have the power of cultivation, and the abundant starlight in the valley could indeed give him double the speed of cultivation. And the people here don't think he's a freak, he can practice boldly without any shying away.

It's just that I haven't been able to see my mother all these years.

I can't see Yue'er and black beans.

He looked at the old man, the old man closed his eyes slightly and smiled, he looked at Qingxue again, Qingxue lowered her head slightly and was stunned. Li Haichao looked left and right on one side, and Li Qingshi probed his brain behind him. None of them are really bad, and no one is going to hurt themselves right now. Probably you can really stay and practice for a few years with confidence, right? The people of this Heavenly Punishment Clan are not so bad, you must not worry, Mom. In a few years, I will be reunited in the valley, and I will be an adult by then, and I must have lit up several stars and have the ability to protect my mother.

Then ...... Stay?

Well, stay!

Lin Du looked at the thin old man in front of him and nodded heavily.
