Daxia Lingxian

Chapter 36
"Little kid, I miss my wife at such a young age." Luo Li pinched a child's face, put down the bowl, and then wiped his little mouth gracefully.

"Brother, I'm full." After finishing speaking, he walked out.

Luo Ning crunched a pickled radish and asked vaguely, "What are you doing?"

The little girl gesticulated a cow's horns on her head with both hands, and said "moo", "I'm going to see my old dog. Feed it some fodder."

Luo Ning got his name according to an allusion, and said "Mencius-King Hui of Liang".

Luo Ning swallowed the food in his mouth, with a strange expression on his face, "It's too bland. Only this radish tastes salty."

As soon as this remark came out, the hostess was immediately unhappy.

She immediately raised her eyebrows that were as black as a crow's feathers, and her face was inexplicably surprised with dissatisfaction:
"What? How can only pickled radish have a salty taste? I can't bear salt! I'm stingy? It's really... guest, you have a strong taste."

After finishing speaking, he stood up angrily to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, and the pots and pans slammed down.

"Don't blame the guest." The old master smiled, slowly lit a pot of dry smoke, ignored his granddaughter-in-law, and breathed out the clouds in a silent and deep voice.

The male master brandished an axe, while chopping firewood with the moon in the small courtyard, he casually said: "My mother, don't be rude to the guests."

Luo Li became worried.

Brother, is he starting to lose his tongue consciousness (taste)?

Luo Ning gave Luo Li a wink, "I'm fine. I have to tell you, that old cow won't live for a year, it's almost the end of its lifespan, so don't feel sad when it happens."

Hearing this, the old master exhaled a puff of dry smoke and said, "The animals... are poor. The girl is a kind person, and she will be rewarded with good fortune."

Luo Li returned to the rice pounding yard, and immediately fed the old cows.

"Old 觳觫." The cardamom girl touched the horns of the cow affectionately, and patted the bony back, "You have made great achievements today."

"Brother said you will live less than a year, I know."

"I must try to prolong your life. Those monsters live so long to harm people, you are my old man, why should you die?"

"Momo..." The old cow licked Luo Li's hand, his eyes were moist.

Xiao Hei squatted nearby, wagging his tail weakly, and looked at Luo Li pitifully.

Seeing this, Luo Li's eyes crooked, he giggled at Xiao Hei and said, "What are you looking at? You're jealous, you've fallen out of favor."

"Wow!" Little Hei Nai yelled twice childishly, then ran out of the rice pounding courtyard on short legs, and went to find Luo Ning.

It ran to the farmhouse next door, and obediently coiled itself under the feet of the young man in Tsing Yi.

Luo Ning reached out to touch Xiao Hei, and wiped the oil stains from his mouth on the dog's fur.

Alas, there are no napkins in this world, I'm not used to it.

After losing his sense of smell, Luo Ning knew that he had also lost his sense of taste.

Fortunately, there are still some ghost bait fruits, which can somewhat delay the loss of five senses.

He put aside these troublesome things for the time being, turned to the old master and said, "Father, how are you doing now?"

In fact, this is nonsense.Whether it's good or bad, you can tell at a glance, so why ask more?

The old master sighed, every wrinkle on his face was full of sorrow, "What's better than that? You have traveled the rivers and lakes, you have seen a lot, and you should know that the world is getting more and more uneven."

He exhaled a puff of dry smoke, and the smoke lingered like a dream under the moonlight.

"The old man is seventy this year, and he has only been to the county seat as far as he can, but he has lived a long time and knows a little about what happened back then."

"Speaking of which, the past few decades have become more and more anxious. The towns are still very bright, but life in the countryside is even more miserable."

"When I was young, Shenzong was still in power. At that time, the tax was only half of what it is now, and there were not as many natural disasters as there are now. An acre of Zhongtian can collect two and a half stones. Although there are demons, ghosts, bandits and water robbers, the government still takes care of it."

"At that time, the days were still moist."

Listening to the old man's words, Luo Ning looked at the moon with quiet eyes, with a faint light flickering.

"But today..." the old master shook his head, "not to mention the doubled tax, natural disasters and man-made disasters are constantly happening. There are more and more monsters, bandits and water thieves, but the government... is too lazy to take care of it."

"Just praying for rain, not to mention the City God and the River God, and the county lord is just making a notice to pray for rain. It's all pity on God."

When the old man said this, his tone became mysterious:
"Some people say that there are many natural and man-made disasters. It is because of the wrath of the heavens that the king of heaven has leaked. If the loopholes cannot be plugged, there will be major disasters in the future."

"Some people say that it is the ancient tripod that caused the trouble! In our Yizhou, we don't know where the mountains and rivers hide the evil weapon of Liangzhou tripod."

"Nine cauldrons...the nine bottomless pits, devouring energy and souls recklessly, what is the fate of the country? Can the world not be corrupted?"

Luo Ning did not refute the old man's words, and he also knew that the horror legend about Jiuding had already taken root among the people.

It's ridiculous to think about it.The fault was blamed on Jiuding, the imperial government and the emperor's officials were all right?
This kind of horror legend is obviously deliberately fabricated and forged.

And it has been a long time, and it has become the so-called "hands down from old age".

The problem is that the Son of Heaven and the big bosses of the imperial court knew that the legend was false, but they didn't intend to clarify it at all.

It's actually quite understandable.

Because there was no Jiuding in the Great Xia Dynasty.

It is because there is no Jiuding, so let Jiuding be stigmatized by horror legends without clarifying the truth.Otherwise, the destiny of the Great Xia Dynasty will be questioned.

Another advantage is that Jiuding's "weapon" can be blamed, and the people's dissatisfaction with officials, the court, and the emperor can be alleviated.

Luo Ning thought of the map of the Ding Ding in Liangzhou, and couldn't help feeling strong expectations.

The first emperor asked Lu Zhi to look for the whereabouts of Jiuding everywhere, of course Jiuding is important.

If Lu Zhi's picture is true, then the big secret of Liangzhou Ding is in his hands!

What is the use of Jiuding?Is it really related to China's luck?

……

When Luo Ning returned to the rice pounding yard, Luo Li was giving him shoe soles.

She stood in front of the oil lamp, concentrating stitch by stitch, leaving a moving figure under the wall.

"Li'er, don't accept it." Luo Ning fondled her head, "Being a female celebrity under the lamp hurts your eyes. Don't be short-sighted."

Luo Li gave a "card" smile, raised his happy and angry little face, "Brother, what is nearsightedness?"

Seeing that Luo Ning shook his head and didn't answer, he said with a smile: "When my brother finds me a sister-in-law, I won't give my brother shoes and laundry."

"If my brother doesn't marry his sister-in-law, I will give my brother shoes and laundry for the rest of my life."

Luo Ning also laughed, "According to what you said, I will find you a sister-in-law as soon as possible for my sister's convenience."

The cardamom girl lowered her head, but remained silent.

After a while, Luo Li suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with tears: "Brother, how do you think mother is doing now?"

Since her mother disappeared, she misses her every day.

A beautiful and gentle face appeared in front of Luo Ning's eyes, as if standing at the door of Chai Fei and looking at him.

mother...

The original owner's emotional traces are very heavy, even if Luo Ning is a time traveler, he will still miss his mother Tang Wan.

Who took her away?Maternal family?
The Tang Family... The most famous Tang family in Yizhou is the Tang Sect in Central Shu.Great Xia's No. [-] Poison Dao family is an ancient family as famous as the Su family in Yizhou.

There are very few people surnamed Tang in Yizhou.But Luoning didn't think at all that Tang Wan's natal family had something to do with the Tang Sect in Central Shu.

"Don't worry, Li'er." Luo Ning comforted his sister, "The person who took Mother away should be relatives, friends and old friends of Mother, and we will definitely see each other again."

Luo Li nodded obediently, "Brother said yes, I don't worry anymore. If I think about it day and night, brother will worry about me."

When she said this, her tone suddenly turned cold: "In case anyone hurts mother, I will definitely make that person regret living in this world!"

"Also, one day, I will make Xue Bingyu, who bullied my brother, regret it!"

Luo Ning was startled when he heard the words, this is... sister swear.
