pet cultivator

Chapter 4 Departure
Li Jin and Li Yu's brother and sister chatted for a long time, and it was already evening when they returned to their small courtyard alone.

Seeing the faint candlelight flickering in his house, Li Jin touched his nose and walked into the door.

"Clothes, shoes and socks, and some dry food, it seems that I have brought a little less winter clothes..." Under the candlelight, a young woman in a coarse pleated skirt was talking to herself beside the bed, but her hands were always Busy, he folded a set of the little boy's clothes softly and put them aside.

Looking at the table again, there are a pile of pancakes for food and two dried salted fish. Li Jin can't help but shake his head helplessly: "Mother, I won't be leaving until ten days later, and you are busy packing up now, because you want to hurry up." Get me kicked out?"

When Qiu Rong heard the words, she turned around, and was about to say something to anger her son, but her eyes turned red, she looked at Li Jin, choked up and couldn't speak for a while.

Seeing this, Li Jin hurriedly stepped forward to support Qiurong: "Mother, don't be upset, I was just joking. I know you don't want me. I'll be at home these few days, I won't go anywhere, just stay with you, okay?"

Qiu Rong regained her breath, sighed, and took her son's little hand and sat on the edge of the bed: "Clean it up early, so that you don't forget this and that, and make a mess."

Li Jin also has a closeness to this woman who has worked so hard to raise him by herself for five years, and respects her very much. He quickly said: "I can clean it myself, mother, you can sit and rest first." A while." After that, he did it himself, put all the things into the bag, and put them on the table.

Qiu Rong looked at her five-year-old child, with deep reluctance in her eyes: "When you go out alone, you must pay attention to your health, be careful not to get sick, don't run around, and remember to report back safely when you have a chance... "

Li Jin listened to his mother's nagging silently, and was not impatient.Qiu Rong is only under thirty years old, but her tone is so mature and old-fashioned. If you think about it, most of the mothers are like this when facing parents and children.

Li Wenluo put down the teacup, looked at the pair of children standing next to him: "Sit down."

Hearing this, Li Yu sat obediently by the side, but her back was straightened.A six or seven-year-old black-clothed little boy was sitting coolly on a large chair, always looking a bit nondescript.But the little loli in light yellow gauze jumped into Li Wenluo's arms and acted like a baby. Li Wenluo seemed to have gotten used to it, and hugged little loli.

"Going to the Dragon Knight Barracks now, Yu'er, you represent the strength of our next generation, and you are also the face of your father. Remember, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, train hard, and don't slack off!"

"Understood, father." Faced with his father's admonition, Li Yu nodded seriously.

"This ancestor worship, I agreed with your grandfather and second grandfather to give you a high-level soul orb, and it is not because you are my son that you are partial. There is a reason for this decision." Li Wenluo frowned. He frowned, "On the one hand, your red-maned horse is indeed worthy of this sprinting soul orb, but more importantly, the Tianlong horse in the army has been acting strange recently."

"Strange?" Li Yu looked at his father in surprise.The dragon cavalry army is the foundation of the Li family's foothold, and the Tianlong horse is the foundation of the dragon cavalry army.Although the current Tianji City has been managed by the Li family as a monolith, and the Li family's influence has penetrated into various industries, the water transportation of Tianji City is the Li family's biggest source of income.But if there is a problem with Tianlongma, it can be regarded as a serious injury that shakes the foundation for the Li family.When my father said this, he thought it was very important.

Li Wenluo nodded: "Well. Your second grandfather went to the barracks to see it. I can't tell you the specifics, but your second grandfather thinks that there is something wrong with the atmosphere of the Tianlong horse group. We think it may be something happened inside the horse group. So, your top horse may What can be found in the past."

"So, I need to secretly investigate possible problems with the dragon cavalry horses with Chi Yan." Li Yu continued.Although Li Yu was calm by nature, a boy less than seven years old couldn't help being excited when he heard that he was about to complete such an important task.

"That's right." Li Wenluo nodded again, "After you go to the army, your two elder brothers will come to contact you about what to do. You three brothers can do it cheaply."

"Yes, father." Li Yu suddenly stood up and cupped his fists, and saluted Li Wenluo.

"Go, go to bed early. Be with this little girl these days, but last night she waited for you until she fell asleep."

Li Yu responded, bid farewell to his sister, and left.

"Father, I'm going to rest too." Li Qinqin wanted to leave when her brother left, but was stopped by her father.

"Don't worry. Xiaoqin, tell Weifu, what kind of soul pet are you planning to contract next year?"

"Of course it's a beautiful Tianlongma!" Little Lolita didn't even think about it, she looked back at her father and replied crisply.

Li Wenluo was overjoyed when he heard the words, could it be that Xiao Nizi is so young, but she is a woman who does not give way to her eyebrows, so she has such ambitions.But his face remained calm, and he continued to ask: "Oh? Why? Tianlong horse is a military horse, not for viewing."

"I've already made an appointment with brother Xiaojin. We want to contract with Tianlongma and join the Dragoon Army together." Little Loli hurriedly explained loudly after hearing this.She would not admit that she just fell in love with Tianlongma's handsome appearance.

"Little Jin?" Li Wenluo was taken aback when he heard the words, and shook his head, "The bastard son of the sixth son who weaves wicker all day long? It's not worth mentioning because of his skill and obscenity." In his heart, Li Wenluo secretly noticed that this Li Jin He has a very good relationship with Yu'er, almost his only friend, not to mention, it seems that even Xiaoqin looks at him differently now, even though they are still little kids, they still need to be alerted.

"The little rabbit made up by brother Xiaojin is so cute!" Li Qinqin argued anxiously when her father shook her head.Unexpectedly, this reaction fell into Li Wenluo's eyes, but it had another meaning.But now he doesn't want to argue with his daughter about this, but took out an azure elixir and gave it to his precious daughter: "Tianlongma is not so easy to make a successful contract, you should keep this close to you carefully, don't let others See. When you open the door a year later, if you see your favorite Tianlongma, take out this pill. If Tianlongma takes this pill, you will get an extra share of the contract."

Li Qinqin took the azure elixir curiously, nodded with a half understanding, but still solemnly put it in her personal storage sachet.

"Okay, you should also go to rest earlier." Seeing that the business was finished, Li Wenluo let her daughter leave.

------

Five days later, at the east gate of Tianji City.

"Okay, let's send it here!" Li Yu turned around, and said to Li Qinqin and Li Jin who came to see him off, without the indifference on his face when facing other people.

Little Lolita has already cried into a pair of peach eyes, and is still sobbing uncontrollably: "Brother, you promised me to come and see me!"

Li Yu patted his younger sister's head affectionately: "For sure. Xiaoqin is good, go back soon." After finishing speaking, he and Li Jin hugged each other, then performed a formula, and a ball of red air appeared from his chest , and soon turned into a horse with a red mane.I saw that it was strong, with thick hooves, and a pair of huge and agile eyes, but it was a rare soul pet.

Li Yu stroked the BMW a few times, then jumped onto the horse.He took one last look at Li and Jin, and drove his soul pet away, and soon disappeared on the other side of the city gate.

Seeing this, the little Lolita yelled loudly: "You must come and see me————"

------

Five days later, early in the morning.Still at the east gate.

A group of nineteen children were stepping into the carriage one by one, while the Second Elder stood aside and counted the number of people and luggage.Not far away, the children's relatives are waving goodbye to their children.Most of the things that should be instructed, the parents have said a lot these days, but at this time it is really time to say goodbye, most of the mothers are so choked up that they can't speak, just staring at their children as they get into the carriage.The father is comforting his wife, but his slightly trembling hands let others see that they are not at peace.

"Brother Xiao Jin, let's go!" Li Qinqin finally hugged her father, kissed her mother, wiped the tears from her face and her mother's face, then rushed to the side of the carriage and grabbed Li Jin , do not look back.

Li Jin took one last deep look at Qiu Rong who was crying not far away, waved his hands vigorously, and got into the carriage cruelly.There is a nice little purse pinned to his waist, but it is a small storage bag, inside which is a pile of bundles that Qiurong prepared for him, almost filling up half a cubic meter of space, as if to Evacuate their house.Just last night, Qiu Rong mysteriously dug out the long-prepared storage bag from under the mattress, and handed it to her son.Don't look at such a small storage bag, it's not something that Qiu Rong can have. Li Jin thought about it for a while, and guessed it should be secretly sent by his cheap father Li Wenyu.Although Li Jin didn't like his father very much, he couldn't refuse Qiu Rong's kindness, and with the mentality of not taking advantage of the bastard, he accepted the storage bag.In order to deceive others, Li Jin deliberately prepared a suitcase to be transported by the family carriage.

"Second Elder, everything is ready." At this moment, a disciple of the Li family ran over and said respectfully to the Second Elder.

"Well, it's getting late, let's set off!" The second elder glanced around, and then summoned his soul pet—a male lion with golden hair and blood-colored eyes.The second elder turned over and rode up very vigorously, roared, took out a wine jar from there, and began to drink heavily.Among the high-status members of the Li family in Tianji City, there are very few people whose soul pet is not a dragon and horse, and the second elder, the red-eyed golden lion, is an exception.With a low growl, the lion walked to the front of the team.

"Second Elder has an order! Departure—"

A carriage drove out of Tianji City slowly, leaving Tianji City behind, like a prehistoric giant prostrate there, watching the convoy leave.At the same time, gradually blurred, there is a figure seeing off at the gate of the city...

What greeted them was the rising fiery red sun at the end of the endless Tianji Plain.

(ps: Parents are here, if you don’t travel far, you must travel well. When we left our parents and went to other places to study as boarding students, we were only 14 years old. Looking back now, thinking about the reluctance in the eyes of our parents at that time, it is also embarrassing.)
