Chapter 11 I want to kill demons and eliminate demons
The three of them left the house and walked along the steep and winding mountain road for a short time. Li Qingniu leaned against the boulder beside the road and couldn't walk anymore.

Seeing him like this, the two brothers smiled knowingly.Li Laosan helped Li Qingniu to carry the bamboo basket, and started the old father's education with his own experience.

"Your second dad, when we were your age, we already carried mountain goods to the foot of the mountain to exchange. At that time, I carried dozens of catties on my back, and it took a long time to walk! You, you, you only know that you are crazy at home on weekdays. Play, this time you know how hard it is to go out!"

Unexpectedly, before Li Laosan finished talking about his glorious history of hard work when he was young, Li Laoer laughed and exposed it.

"Little Niuer, your father is bragging. At that time, as long as I went down the mountain, your father insisted on going. At first there were a few mountain goods in the back basket, and all the mountain goods were in my back basket as I walked. , when we get to Niuxi Town, your father will only have an empty backpack left!"

When Li Laosan was told this, the old man blushed and said, "Second brother, how can you say it in front of this kid? It's not all like this, isn't it diarrhea?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you often have diarrhea and can't walk! Hahahaha."

While recalling their childhood, the two brothers talked and answered Li Qingniu's various weird questions.After a while, we reached the corner of the mountain.

There are huge boulders hanging out at the turn of the peak circuit, and an old tree is lush and green on the stone, with a pavilion like a cover.Under the scorching sun, Li Qingniu, who had already been exhausted, heard that he wanted to rest, and immediately collapsed on the boulder like a deflated ball.

After a while, the recovered Li Qingniu stood on the boulder and looked into the distance.I saw mountains criss-crossing one after another, and some dense forests could be seen on the nearby mountains, while there were only undulating ridgelines criss-crossing between the sky, the earth, and the clouds and mists.And at the foot of the deep cliff, the clouds and mists are boiling, and in the gap, there is a big river that hides or appears in the mountains and rivers like a giant dragon.

Li Qingniu, who has never been out of a small mountain depression, may have felt something in his heart when he saw such a magnificent mountain and river scene, but he couldn't describe it, so he could only shout: "This mountain is so big, and this river is so long!"

Li Laoer at the side asked, "Xiao Niuer, do you know what you want to learn when you go to school?"

"Second Dad, you didn't tell me! How would I know? Tell me."

"It depends on the master what to learn, but knowing Chinese characters and writing articles is the foundation. After you learn it, you can look at the mountains and rivers in our hometown, and you may be able to write good articles!"

"Oh, what's this about?"

"Perhaps when you are old, you will understand how important it is to record the mountains, rivers and plants in your hometown."

Li Qingniu, who seemed to understand, saw that his second father was serious, so he also agreed: "Okay, so besides writing articles, what else do you want to learn?"

"Hmm... people often say that you are good at both civil and martial arts. We have learned articles and understood the principles of sages. If possible, we should also learn martial arts to strengthen our health."

"Learn martial arts? Isn't it just fighting? Don't worry about this, no one in our village can beat me! Even the big ones are tamed by me."

"Uh, silly boy, martial arts is definitely not about fighting! Those masters who know martial arts are amazing. They can jump up to the height of the second floor with one vertical stroke, pierce a boulder with one sword, and even fight a dozen of them by themselves!"

"So powerful! Then, Second Dad, I want to learn martial arts! Then Second Dad, is there anyone who is taller and more powerful than this?"

"After learning martial arts, I don't know. I heard that there are more profound things!..."

Li Laosan also interrupted: "No matter how powerful you are? No matter how powerful you are, you will become a god!"

When Li Qingniu heard that there were immortals, he excitedly asked: "Is there really an immortal?"

Li Laoer thought for a while and said: "There must be! But the most important thing for us now is to study hard!"

Li Qingniu didn't care about these things, he just stood on the stone and shouted happily: "I must be a fairy from now on! I specialize in killing demons!"

The loud voice spread to the surroundings, spread far away, and even startled some birds and beasts.Scared so much that Li Laosan quickly covered Li Qingniu's mouth and lowered his voice.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Li Qingniu freed his hand and asked in doubt: "Why?"

"We have never seen this fairy, but this demon is everywhere. We talk about the gods, and the gods will not blame them. If we talk bad things about the demons and they accidentally listen to them, we may be retaliated."

"Father, I just said that I want to slay demons and demons, will they hear me?"

Li Laoer smiled and said: "The sun is shining, the demons will not come out, you have to be careful along the way from now on, don't talk nonsense anymore."

"In the future, remember what your second dad said, and don't trust anyone when you go out. Other than your second dad, others may harm you. Do you understand?" Li Laosan showed worry.

"Oh, I only listen to my second father!"

Li Qingniu continued on his way while thinking wildly about gods and demons.It wasn't until sunset in the evening that I finally came to Niuxi Town.

I saw a small town inlaid among the mountains. The town is not big, with more than 200 households.However, because it is close to the official road in the southwest, and it is also a tributary of water transportation, there are many business travelers coming and going.

As soon as Li Laosan entered the town, he couldn't help sighing: "I haven't gone down the mountain in the past few years, and this Niuxi town is much more lively."

"In recent years, the official road has become much more peaceful, and there is only such a small town nearby. Although it is a few miles away from the official road, some small caravans still choose to live here temporarily. You can buy some supplies. So it gradually became lively."

The two brothers talked about the changes in Niuxi Town while walking. It was evening, but the only two streets were brightly lit.

There are thirty or forty shops, large and small, except for some daily grocery stores, mainly restaurants and inns.The restaurant where Li Lao Er worked was the largest restaurant in the east, with three floors and standing on the river bank.

Li Qingniu was inexplicably excited looking at these novelties that he had never seen before, if it wasn't for Li Laosan holding on tightly, the purse that Xia Dalian gave him might have been empty before he reached the restaurant.When the three of them arrived at the restaurant, it was the bustling time. Most of the business travelers who stayed overnight had unloaded their goods and were eating and drinking on the first floor.

The waiter in the shop came forward to say hello when he saw Li Laoer from a distance.

"Brother Li, are you back?"

Then he looked at Li Laosan and his son, and saw that Li Laosan had an honest face, a typical mountain dweller; Li Qingniu had caramel in his mouth, a painted mask on his face, and a bunch of miscellaneous new gadgets in his arms.

"Who are these two?"

"This is my brother and nephew. My little nephew came to Niuxi for the first time, and he was curious about everything he saw. It made my second brother laugh."

When the shop waiter heard that he was a relative of Deacon Li, he also had a big smile on his face.

"What's the matter, Brother Li often takes care of the younger brothers. Your relatives are also my relatives. I was the same as your nephew when I first came. You have been driving for a day, and you have worked hard. Go and rest. I will go now. Inform the back kitchen to prepare some simple meals for you."

"Then trouble the little brother, is the shopkeeper here?"

"The shopkeeper is upstairs."

"Okay, I'll go find him later."

　The grassroots road is never easy to walk!
