Sword knocks the door of heaven

Chapter 2 Sugar Pills
Although carrying a burden, Li Yunsheng went down the mountain before dark. Their father and son built a thatched hut on the west side of the mountain. This thatched hut was built by them two or three years ago. They planted a few trees on the mountain, and moved some rocks. Every year they will repair it again, after all, they will stay here for a month.

After two or three years of repairs and repairs, this thatched cottage is now in a different state. The stove, tables, chairs, and beds are all available, and the walls are firmly covered with mud, so that no wind can penetrate.

Li Yunsheng tidied up the bamboo hat and coir raincoat and put them away, then started to boil water on the stove, and then carefully scooped up a small bowl of flour from the jar behind the stove to knead the dough.In the middle of mixing, he suddenly stopped, thought for a while, took out an egg from the vat containing flour, beat it into the flour, waited until the dough was reconciled, cut it into thin strips, and the water in the pot boiled, he put Put the cut noodles into the pot, pick half a spoonful of lard from the small earthenware pot on the stove, put it in, the lard melts as soon as it enters the boiling water, and turns into a layer of beautiful oil flowers, put another handful Spicy, finally put the lid on the pot and sit in front of the stove to burn the fire.

After running around with Li Shanzhu for so many years, Li Yunsheng cooks a good meal. Although the ingredients are very common, he cooks it with great care, making some common food tasteful.

Li Yunsheng and his son were very punctual in doing things. Every morning at dawn, the two of them would carry their burdens up the mountain. Father Li Shanzhu just rested in the small gazebo, and then went to the Purple Cloud Temple to help with trivial matters in the temple.Li Yunsheng sold bamboo hats and coir raincoats in the small gazebo, and sometimes went to Ziyun Temple with him.Until the sky darkened, Li Yunsheng went down the mountain and went back to the house to cook. Every time the food was almost cooked and the dishes and chopsticks were set, Li Shanzhu would come back.

This day was also the same, Li Yunsheng carefully wiped the small wooden table for eating in the house, rinsed the two sets of bowls and chopsticks, wiped them with a dry rag and put them on the table, when there was a knock on the door.

It was Li Shanzhu who entered the door. Although he was as thin and dark as Li Yunsheng, but because of his tall stature, he had to bend a little to walk in through the door. Li Shanzhu looked like most farmers. Li Yunsheng just nodded, and then sat down directly at the table.

After serving two bowls of steaming hot noodles, Li Yunsheng sat down with him.

"You can put less oil." Li Shanzhu said with a hint of fatigue in his voice after glancing at the oily flowers on the clear noodle soup in the bowl and the few wild onions floating in the water.

Li Yunsheng curled his lips, without saying a word, he put his chopsticks into the bowl, caught a noodle and was about to send it to his mouth.

"Bang, bang..."

At this time, there was another knock on the door. Li Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Mangzhu who was trying to shove noodles into his mouth, put down the bowl and chopsticks a little unhappy, walked to the door and opened the door.

There was an old woman standing at the door, the same one Li Yunsheng met in the gazebo today.

"I'm here to return the coir raincoat." The old man said with a smile with a shriveled mouth.

"Please trouble the old man."

At this time, Li Shanzhu also put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up, and pulled away Li Yunsheng who was standing there in a daze. He saw the coir raincoat in the old woman's hand and understood that it should be his good son who also gave a bamboo hat out of kindness. The coir raincoat.

As he spoke, Li Shanzhu took the coir raincoat from the old woman.

"We are eating noodles, and there is just an extra bowl, do you want it?"

Li Yunsheng on the side looked at the old woman in the wind and rain outside, hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"Well, I've been asking about the scent from a long distance, it's so fragrant." The old woman squinted her eyes and smiled, her words were full of joy.

"If you don't mind the old man, just come in and have a bowl. The room will be warmer. After eating, the rain should stop."

Li Shanzhu was not the kind of stingy person either, so he immediately invited the old man in, and just patted Li Yunsheng on the head when his back was turned to the old man—how could there be extra faces in the family?Even the bowls and chopsticks are just exactly two sets!
Li Yunsheng let the old man sit in his original position as if nothing happened, and pushed the bowl and chopsticks to her.

"Little baby, why don't you eat?"

The old woman picked up the bowl and chopsticks and looked up at Li Yunsheng strangely. At this time, Li Yunsheng had already walked to the stove, and took out a book to read by the light of the stove.

"I have already eaten."

Hearing this, the old woman giggled, and without asking any further questions, she ate with relish. After eating the noodles and drinking the soup, she said contentedly:

"For many years, I haven't eaten such delicious noodles."

Li Shanzhu only took her as a compliment and joked, he didn't say anything but just laughed.

After eating noodles, the rain didn't stop, and the old man didn't intend to leave. She asked Li Shanzhu curiously: "Your father and son don't seem to be locals. Why did you come to this barren mountain to make your child suffer?"

She looked at Li Yunsheng who was reading in front of the stove with pity.

"Ugh……"

Li Shanzhu heaved a long sigh. He didn't know if it was because the person sitting in front of him was a helpless old woman. The matter of casting a curse was also said.

"I think my Li family has done good deeds for generations, but it has ended up here. Even the men of my Li family, none of them can live past the age of 40! We really have nowhere to go. Now there are only two of us left in this Li family. You Said that if the Li family is extinct in my hands, I will be ashamed of my ancestors!"

"There is such a strange thing in this world? It's really unheard of." The old woman looked surprised.

"If it didn't happen to me, I wouldn't believe it." Li Shanzhu smiled bitterly, "So whenever we hear a trace of an immortal these years, we will look for it and ask for a chance."

"It's probably harder than finding a needle in a haystack." The old woman shook her head, "Not to mention that this fairy trail is hard to find, even if you really encounter it, you may not be able to help you. After all, we are nothing more than ants in the eyes of the fairy family. .”

"Who says it's not?" Li Shanzhu looked bleak, "But you can't just accept your fate like this."

When Li Shanzhu said this, Li Yunsheng who was not far away curled his lips again. This scene happened to be seen by the old woman, who laughed and said, "Little baby, what are you laughing at?"

Hearing that Li Shanzhu gave Li Yunsheng a hard look, he thought to himself that it’s okay if you’re not old or young when no one’s around, but you still don’t give me face when there are outsiders around, and I won’t let you eat when someone leaves. Flesh.

Naturally, Li Yunsheng's temperament cannot be frightened by just a glance. He put down the book in his hand and organized his thoughts in his head, and then said in a slightly immature voice: "I think Daddy, you should go looking for the ethereal fairy." It’s better for the two of us to live a better life, you know that immortal is not merciful, but he has been begging for ten years, and he said he would not accept his fate, but what you did was just a perfunctory way.”

Speaking of this, Li Yunsheng paused again, thought carefully, and said with a serious face: "The real refusal to accept fate should not be begging for mercy from those immortal families, but daring to compete with this day and this fate."

The two adults were taken aback by a child's rhetoric, and were stunned for a moment, then Li Shanzhu raised his fist and glared at Li Yunsheng again, saying viciously, "Your skin is itchy again?" But the woman didn't laugh Li Yunsheng, on the contrary, thought about it carefully, and then smiled lovingly: "Don't beg from the gods, dare to fight against the heavens! What you said is excellent, excellent!" It seemed that Li Yunsheng's words made her very happy.

"Bang, bang."

Just when Li Shanzhu was confused by the old woman's excellent words, someone knocked on the door again.Li Shanzhu wanted to open the door, but the old man stood up and waved his hands to stop him. She smiled and looked at Li Shanzhu and said, "It should be the little girl who came to pick me up."

As soon as the door opened, there was indeed a woman standing outside the door, but it was so dark that she couldn't see her face clearly.

"I think the rain can't stop tonight, so I'm here to pick you up." The woman's voice was surprisingly pleasant, just like the wind chimes outside the window in summer, which lifted people's spirits.

The old woman nodded, she stood at the door and turned to look at Li Yunsheng on the other side of the stove, raised her hand and waved at him: "Little baby, come!"

Seeing the old woman calling him, Li Yunsheng walked over with some doubts.

"At my age, I still eat your little baby's food. It's really wrong." The old woman smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't bring anything when I came here. I only have this bottle for my grandson. The sugar pills to eat, here, I give you all!"

She took out an exquisite white porcelain bottle and handed it to Li Yunsheng.

Others would definitely refuse to be humble, but Li Yunsheng is not virtuous and submissive by nature, so he took the bottle casually.

"Old ancestor, this is..." The woman in the darkness said in a low voice. Although her voice was very low, Li Yunsheng could still hear the eagerness in her voice.

"What's a bottle of sugar pills?"

The old woman waved her hand to signal the woman not to say any more, Li Yunsheng was a little displeased with what the woman said, thinking that it was just a bottle of sugar pills?
"Little baby, it looks like there will be thunder tonight, so go to bed early if you have nothing to do."

The old woman looked at the sky, then turned her head and told Li Yunsheng.

Even if the old woman didn't say anything, the two of them would not go out tonight, but they still nodded.

The old woman left without looking back after she finished speaking. The moment she turned her head and walked away, the light in the room hit the woman's face in the dark night. Although it was just a glance, Li Yunsheng still saw a beautiful picture. A suffocating face.

In particular, the pupils of the eyes emitting a faint fluorescent light in the night look very unreal, and they don't feel like human beings at all.

Just when Li Yunshan was in a daze, Li Shanzhu slapped him on the back of the head, and said:

"Go to bed earlier, I'm afraid it will rain heavily at night."
