Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Chapter 73: Li Sheng Tuo Gu

Li Meng was holding two dead hares in his hands. They seemed to be out hunting, but he escaped the catastrophe. He threw the rabbits away and rushed over quickly, calling tremblingly: "Father! What happened to you? Who hurt you?"

Li Shengqiang patted his head with a smile, and said, "Xiao Meng, sit down first and let Dad explain something to your Uncle Xu."

Li Meng had tears in his eyes for a long time, but he tried his best not to let them fall. He nodded and obediently supported Li Sheng, gritted his teeth and stopped talking.

Enduring the grief in his heart, Xu Zizhen said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, let's talk about it later, I will take you to the doctor right away!" As he spoke, he bent over to carry him on his back.

Li Sheng stopped him, and said with a smile, "I'm not going to survive, so listen to me while I'm still alive."

Seeing the blood gurgling from his chest, Xu Zizhen obviously couldn't last much longer, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "Okay, Brother Li, tell me, I'll listen."

"Brother Xu, in fact, Luo'er is not my daughter, but her background... Ahem, forgive me for not being able to tell you clearly." The smile on Li Sheng's face gradually disappeared, and turned into a feeling of memory and helplessness. She said slowly, "Four years ago, Luo'er's family suddenly suffered a sudden change. Her mother was framed by others, falsely accusing her of trying to harm Luo'er's father. At that time, the evidence for this matter was convincing, and Luo'er's mother could not argue with it." After that, he hanged himself on the beam to show his innocence, but the person who framed him didn't want to let it go, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Luo'er..."

He coughed violently at this point, Xu Zizhen and Li Meng hurriedly patted him on the back, and finally smoothed his breath, then he continued: "I am a little girl in Luo'er's family. Guard, the mistress is gentle and friendly, she was kind to me, but I have low skills, so I can only save Luo'er and escape, but the mistress has already been murdered by a traitor."

Xu Zizhen nodded. It seemed that he guessed it at first. It was really a grudge between the rich and powerful, but he didn't understand it. Why did Li Sheng tell him this?

Li Sheng seemed to have guessed his thoughts, smiled and continued: "Brother Xu, my so-called senior brother is actually my lord's younger brother. I would rather flee to the south of the Yangtze River and convert to Buddhism, and I took Luo'er to wander around, and finally found out where he was going, so I went to Suzhou Mansion."

He sighed, and continued: "Luo'er originally wanted to find her second uncle and ask him to return to secular life to seek justice for herself and her dead mother, but...but when we got there, we found that her second uncle had suffered a serious illness. As a result, the lower body completely lost consciousness, and could only sit paralyzed on the bed."

Xu Zizhen was stunned, no wonder he seemed to hear Li Sheng calling that master Jingde the second master that day, and he had never seen him leave the room from the beginning to the end, so that was the case.

"Luo'er ran out alone in despair, but was captured by those thieves, and then you rescued me." Having said this, Li Sheng glanced at Xu Zizhen regretfully, "Brother Xu, you But don't be angry, Luo'er told me after she came back that time that she thought of a way to get revenge, that is...that is to let you be her husband-in-law."

Xu Zizhen was obviously taken aback: "Let me be her husband to avenge her? What does that mean?"

Li Sheng smiled: "Brother Xu's poems in the temple fair, the red sleeves won the first prize, the injustice in court, and the creation of that wonderful mascara, all these deeds show that Brother Xu has great talent and sharp wit, so Luo'er came up with this idea , I want to invite brother Xu back to her home, because your talents will be reused by her father, and in time you will naturally gain power, and then there will be a chance for revenge..." He paused and then said, "It's just that Luo'er saw Xu A brother's nature is like a raging fire, and she loves to fight injustice and hates evil like a vengeance, but at that time she already had a true love for you, and she didn't want you to fall into a place of intrigue."

Xu Zizhen suddenly understood everything, and truly understood Li Luoyan's meaning of liking him but not being able to marry him. Thinking of her being so innocent and pure, and loving him so much, he couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion.

Li Sheng has long been at the end of his strength, and it is a miracle that he can persist until now. Suddenly his face flushed, and his spirit seemed to be much better. He grabbed Xu Zizhen's palm and said seriously: "Brother, I said so much I hope you promise me one thing!"

Xu Zizhen nodded heavily: "Brother, you say so."

Li Sheng looked into his eyes and said slowly: "Yu Qi is very skilled, those people will definitely not be able to catch up with Luo'er, this time you go to the northwest, if you are destined to see Luo'er again, brother, I hope you will remember her deep love for you , take care of her a little bit."

Xu Zizhen wondered: "What? She is also from Lanzhou?"

Li Sheng shook his head and said with a smile, "That's not true."

Xu Zizhen didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said, "Even if I don't have my brother's order, if I meet her, I will help her."

Li Sheng's eyes began to loosen gradually, his voice became weaker and weaker, but he held Xu Zizhen's palm tightly in his hand, struggling to look at Li Meng, whose eyes were already red, and said with nostalgia and regret: "Besides, the dog also asks brother Already!"

Xu Zizhen gritted his teeth tightly, fearing that tears would flow if he relaxed, nodded and said: "Don't worry, brother, I will never let you down!"

Li Sheng slowly raised his hand to touch Li Meng's head, forced a smile and said, "Xiao Meng, be good, remember to listen to Uncle Xu, don't be naughty, don't..."

His voice became lower and lower, and finally stopped, and he passed away as soon as he lowered his head.

……

Li Sheng's death made Xu Zizhen very emotional. They were still drinking and chatting together in the morning, but in the afternoon it was forever.

Xu Zizhen respected Li Sheng, so naturally he didn't want him to be exiled in a foreign land after his death, so he cremated his body with Li Meng, picked out the ashes and put them in a box. Just go to his hometown and bury him properly.

After dealing with all this, Xu Zizhen took Li Meng back to the inn. Along the way, he seriously considered the issue of Li Meng's resettlement. This time he went to Lanzhou, he would definitely help Mr. Wen resist the Xixia people. The battlefield is ruthless. He was afraid that his own life would not be guaranteed, so how could he take care of a half-grown child like Li Meng?

He was thinking about it, but Li Meng suddenly said: "Uncle Xu, you went to Lanzhou to fight Xixia?"

Xu Zizhen was taken aback, nodded and said: "Whether to fight or not is a major national issue, I can't say for sure, but I guess we will fight with them sooner or later, why?"

Li Meng gritted his teeth, and said with a serious and resolute face, "I want to fight Xixia with you!"

Xu Zizhen was taken aback, and shook his head again and again: "No, how old are you? Just want to go to the battlefield? How can I explain to your father if something happens?"

Li Meng seemed to have changed since Li Sheng's death. The boy who was a little bit shy and timid suddenly became taciturn. At this time, even his tone was sonorous and forceful, and he said word by word with an attitude that could not be denied: " I want to avenge my father!"
