Chapter 96 things have remained the same, but people have changed

The people in the mountains pay attention to a cheap name and make a living, so half The eldest child generally does not have a big name until he has grown up.

Li Yan was born with soft skin and tender meat, not like a child from a mountain family at all.

Parents were afraid that their little son would be entangled by little ghosts, so they chose a cheap name like Gouer, hoping to grow up strong.

Li Yan lived up to expectations and had never suffered from any disease since childhood.

In Yongguo, there are not a few villages like Li Family Village with their surnames as their names. Most of them belong to the same clan. Master Li Si and Li Yan are relatives who have no five clothes. Naturally, they clearly remember them. the old man.

"It's me, how have the fourth masters lived these years?"

Li Yan sat down at the old man's table with a smile, and instructed the young man to add two dishes of wine and food.

"You're a master. If the two hozens in my family are half as good as you, the old fogey will be worth it in this life."

Master Li Si said with some emotion. .

Although Li Yan simply wears a dark blue daoist robe, no matter the material or workmanship, it is the best choice, Old Master sinister vision, you can see the extraordinary at a glance.

The young man chuckled lightly, but did not answer.

The restaurant's second served the food very quickly. He whipped up an fennel bean, and the old man took a sip of wine and suddenly opened his mouth.

"Dog, don't blame your father. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't survive, who would be willing to sell their own children."

I thought Li Yan was very serious about this matter. Huai, the old man said earnestly.

"The kid never blamed the father for this."

Li Yan shook his head and said.

Perhaps the average person would be grumpy because of this, but he also knew in his heart that in those years the Yong Kingdom was in turmoil, the price of food was one per day, not to mention all kinds of extortionate and miscellaneous taxes.

The bandits are like a comb, and the soldiers are like a grate.

Not to mention the people in the mountains, even the wealthy gentry in Qingniu Town, who do not know how to destroy a few.

Half the big boy eats the poor old man, he doesn't sell himself, and the family has enough grain and rice for a few days.

Yong Guo emphasized Taoism and sold his children to Taoist temples, but it was a good way out. It was better than a family starving to death.

Besides, how would you get on the road if you didn't.

"You are a sensible child. If Da Zhuang has a spirit in heaven, he will be very happy to hear what you say."

Mrs. Old Fourth was quite emotional. road.

"Spirit in the sky? What happened to my father?"

Li Yan was stunned, and quickly asked the old man.

"Hey, since you followed that Taoist priest, your family hasn't had a good life for two days. Your big brother was forced to fight by the government. After a few days, the rebels came. Your father was forcibly recruited again, and only your second brother escaped the disaster by going out to collect medicine that day."

"So many years have passed, the rebels have been wiped out by the emperor, and they have not been able to Come back, I think it's probably passed away!"

The old man smashed a puff of cigarettes, his tone was rather heavy.

Not only Li Yan's family, but also he himself lost two sons.

Xing, the people suffer too!

Death, the people suffer!

After drinking and eating, Li Yan took the horse, followed behind Mr. Li Si, and walked towards Li Family Village.

......

From the chat between the two on the road, we can see that Mr. Li's visit to the market is mainly to sell the mountain goods picked up the mountain to the wine shop, so as to exchange some money to subsidize the family.

It came with a heavy back, but went away with a relaxed body.

With the help of horses, they arrived at Li Family Village not long after.

The familiar thatched and muddy black roofs in my memory are still there, and there is a yellow muddy mud wall under the roof. Silk unremarkable slit.

Every time the weather is cloudy and rainy, the cold and wet wind is poured in from the cracks, and the end is to kill people.

Old Li's family is only an ordinary person's family in the village. With a few acres of thin fields and hunting income, they can barely make a living.

Sometimes I come across a stupid fox who has stepped on a trap. The fur sells for a good price and can be exchanged for daily necessities.

Although there are not many big fish and meat, but every day with cornmeal and porridge, at least it can guarantee not to starve to death. Sometimes the big brother picks up some game, and the brother eats three meals and beats his teeth, which is all in Li Yan's memory. Happy New Years.

In this environment, Li Yan can still look white and tender, which is undoubtedly a miracle.

"Head of the house, Xun came back from the field so soon?"

Hearing the movement at the door, a woman's question suddenly came out of the house.

Immediately after the door opened, it was a woman Li Yan had never seen before.

"This Taoist priest..."

didn't expect to come to be a beautiful Little Daoist Priest, the woman lost her mind for a while and stood there at a loss.

"Er Niu's daughter-in-law, who is coming to the house?"

It seemed that she felt the strangeness outside the house. A peasant woman in simple clothes came out with a rolling pin in her hand. , gropingly walked out of the house.

"Mother, I'm a dog!"

The Old Lady in front of her was almost the same as before, but her face was much more withered and older, and her hair was gray.

"Dog? You are a dog!"

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, the old woman was stunned, suddenly dropped the rolling pin in her hand, and stumbled moved towards the voice run in the direction.

If Li Yan hadn't hugged the old woman, he would have fallen to the ground.

At this time, no one needs to say anything, and Li Yan also found something wrong.

"Mother, what's wrong with your eyes?"

However, the old woman just cried bitterly with her young son whom she hadn't seen for many years, and kept saying things like I'm sorry .

"The father-in-law and the uncle were both recruited to fight, and the mother-in-law also cried blindly at that time."

She vaguely remembered that her husband mentioned that she had a younger brother who was sold to a Taoist temple, but the Taoist person in front of her was delicious and pretty, fair-skinned, completely different from her husband's family, and she didn't dare to think about it at first.

The news of Li Yan's return was like a thunderous explosion in this small mountain village. Even the second brother who worked hard in the fields was called back by his mother, and the family was reunited.

Maybe it's a debt, maybe it's unfamiliar, facing the third child who is not what it used to be, the family can't help but be a little cautious. Even the second brother was at a loss.

No matter what Li Yan said, Li Erniu just catered to him.

After going out for more than ten years, when he came back, he seemed to be from two worlds. Even the bed he slept on when he was a child now belongs to his two nephews.

It was late at night, thanking the second sister-in-law for her kindness in rearranging the bed, Li Yan walked out of the house, looking at the stars in the sky, a little dazed.

"Dog, brother Yan, are you leaving tomorrow?"

I don't know when, Li Erniu walked out of the house and stood beside Li Yan.

It seems that I am not used to it, and I almost called Li Yan's life by mistake.

"Yeah, after all, this place no longer belongs to Poor Daoist. Poor Daoist went down the mountain this time to break the fate of the world."

Li Yan did not hide his intentions from his brother.

The two updates are completed, and the code will be code earlier! Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation!
