Chapter 84 Revisiting Old Matters
After Li Xuanli came over, he first greeted the eldest lady He Jianlan with a slight salute.
Then he said hello to the other sisters-in-law one by one, and said hello to the other brothers and sisters. Then he sat down and said with a smile: "Shuang'er, how is your practice at Qianjimen? I heard that you have made it to the list, which is good. ”
After hearing her father's praise, Li Wushuang's expression was calm, but Li Yun beside her had his eyes shining with pride, and Li Zhining also looked at the eldest sister with sparkling eyes, as if he had already seen her. Consider it your role model.
"It's just that we are at the bottom. If we can be like Uncle Jiu and win the top position as soon as we enter the ranking list, that would be amazing."
She didn't mean to show off, she just told the truth.
Hearing his daughter mention Lao Jiu, Li Xuanli's eyes changed slightly and the smile on his face faded.
That dazzling figure like a shooting star, just like what Emperor Yu said fourteen years ago, that falling light was the pain of their Li family!
Although they have nine brothers, not sisters, they are close to each other and are extremely united.
It was only later that they each married wives and moved less with each other, so they gradually became estranged.
I think about the past, we would all practice martial arts and eat together in the compound, talk and laugh together, and avoid punishment from dad...
Time flies.
The summer frogs croaking in the courtyard in my memory have long since disappeared...
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a little quieter, Li Wushuang also realized that he shouldn't mention the Li family scar. His pretty face changed slightly and he didn't say anything anymore.
Li Xuanli, who was feeling depressed, came to his senses and noticed that his daughter was silent. Then he realized that he was affected by his own emotions. He immediately smiled and said calmly:
"I want to compete with your Ninth Uncle, but you are still young. Your Ninth Uncle aspired to become a Heavenly Master at the age of seventeen. He pushed back all the way and challenged the world's proudest men in the Fengxian Arena outside Qingzhou City. In the end, he won No one dares to respond!”
Talking about that period of his youth, Li Xuanli smiled a little more on his face, and he missed the high-spirited time.
At that time, they had the sky above their heads, a father, and an elder brother, so they could travel freely in the world.
Drinking wine and riding horses, he traveled through nineteen states.
But as the sky above his head fell, his father's soul returned to the river where he died. He has been unable to escape, cannot return to the Li family ancestral hall, and cannot be reincarnated.
They lost their leisurely mood and continued to wander, but began to practice hard.
At the same time, he also began to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Li family, guarding the borders, galloping on the battlefield, and slaying demons!
When the wives of each hospital heard Li Xuanli's words, they also had some aftertaste in their eyes. That period was also the time when most of them first married into the Li family. It was the most innocent time and the best time to get along with their husbands.
Yearning appeared in Li Wushuang's eyes, and her father's few words outlined in her heart a figure with a majestic figure, invincible in the world, that was her Jiu Shu, whom she had heard about since she was a child, the most proud and proud Jiu Shu. Uncle.
Asking the world, how many people in the world can achieve this scornful demeanor alone?
Li Hao sighed secretly, it was a pity that such a talented person died young.
"The food is almost cold, let's eat first."
In the end, He Jianlan was the most rational, she recovered her thoughts and said with a smile.
Everyone smiled, then greeted each other and moved their chopsticks.
"Well, these dishes are good."
During the meal, everyone talked about other things, not bringing back the sad memories, and seemed to have reached a tacit understanding in this regard.
Li Xuanli ate several dishes and praised them, saying: "Shuang'er, it's rare for you to come back and try it. This bamboo-flavored and ink-flavored dragon liver is quite good. It still tastes the same as it did more than ten years ago. It hasn't changed at all. As a father, I haven’t had it in years.”
"oh?"
Li Wushuang, who had always maintained a cold expression before, now showed a bit of naivety like a little daughter. He picked it up with chopsticks curiously and tasted it carefully.
"Well, it's really good." Li Wushuang smiled with his teeth.
Li Xuanli looked at his sister-in-law and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is interested in Shuang'er. The bamboo-flavored and ink-flavored dragon liver from Cuihu Yuan is a specialty in Qingzhou. I haven't eaten it for so long that I almost forgot about it."
He Jianlan smiled slightly, glanced at Li Hao who was eating and drinking, and said with a smile: "I didn't prepare this. Hao'er and Yuan Zhao bought it together. They said that Shuang'er had been away for many years, so he must have never eaten in Qingzhou. Delicious food, specially purchased. ”
Li Xuanli was slightly stunned, looked at Li Hao and Li Yuanzhao on the other side, and said, "Did you buy this?"
Li Hao glanced at him and nodded with great respect for the fifth uncle who was galloping on the battlefield.
Li Yuanzhao laughed at the side and said: "Fifth uncle, Brother Hao knows how to eat best. The delicious dishes you just ate were all bought by Brother Hao. There are still several more, which will be delivered to you later." Come up."
"oh?"
Li Xuanli was surprised. He naturally had an impression of Li Hao. He was the only son of his seventh brother and Qing Qing. He had even participated in the Hundred Days Banquet.
Later, I heard that this little guy was cultivating a waste body, but it seemed to be unblocked on his own. Maybe the second master thought of some way to help him get through it. In short, he was able to practice again.
It's just a pity that foundation building and hemolysis were delayed, and his qualifications were inevitably inferior to others. In addition, he started late and wasted time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret in his heart, and his eyes when he looked at Li Hao became softer:
"Hao'er is interested. I heard that your father is coming back soon and the war in Yanbei is over. He submitted it to the court. I believe you will be able to see him soon."
With that said, he said to his daughter next to him: "Shuang'er, why don't you thank Xiaohao quickly? This thoughtfulness is no less than other gifts."
Li Hao's heart was moved when he heard this. The fifth uncle came earlier and arrived last, but what he said was something else. It seemed that he had already used his spiritual power to explore this place.
He suddenly felt good in his heart. This fifth uncle was obviously a sensible person.
For the sake of the other party, Li Hao stopped caring about what happened just now and pretended as if nothing had happened. If he glanced at Li Wushuang more at this time, the other party would probably be embarrassed.
On the other side, when Li Wushuang heard what her aunt said, her face felt a little strange. After hearing what her father said now, she suddenly felt that the dragon liver she was chewing in her mouth was a little hard to swallow. She glanced at Li Hao, but saw that he was picking up food and didn't seem to be waiting for her gratitude.
In her eyes, this attitude was indifferent and a bit arrogant.
Her face turned cold, she took two bites of the half-remaining dragon liver and put it on the table, then turned to other dishes and said:
"Dad, I've already thanked him, and I actually don't like eating this dragon liver, it's too greasy."
Li Xuanli was startled, his face suddenly darkened, he put down his chopsticks, stared at her and said:
"Shuang'er, your father has taught you since you were a child that you must be honest and magnanimous. You have just come back. What prejudices do you have against Hao'er? Just because he gave you a bottle of pills?!"
At this moment, he no longer concealed what he had noticed here.
As he became angry, everyone else at the dinner table couldn't help but stop their chopsticks. Gao Qingqing knew her husband's temperament and felt strange that Shuang'er was not like this before.
However, the situation was a bit tense at the moment. If he asked his daughter to apologize again, and the whole room would be watching, he would probably hurt the child's self-esteem.
Seeing the scene, He Jianlan was a little embarrassed and said softly: "Xuanli, Shuang'er just came back, don't be angry. Shuang'er, do you have any opinion on Hao'er?"
Li Wushuang did not expect that his father would scold him in public, and he suddenly felt inexplicably aggrieved in his heart. He had not returned home for a long time, and now that he had returned, the father and daughter had not seen each other several times, and his father actually scolded him for being an outsider.
She bit her lip and glared at Li Hao: "I have to ask him now. He bullied my brother while I was away. Dad, you have been recuperating in Zen Mountain, so you don't know about it."
"Huh?" Li Xuanli was slightly stunned. Li Hao bullied his own child?
Li Yun's face also changed slightly, and he suddenly became nervous.
When the eldest sister first came back, the three siblings naturally had a lot to say. When Li Wushuang smiled and asked casually, has anyone bullied you in recent years?
He took advantage of the situation and told him about being beaten by Li Hao when he was a child. It was a bit embarrassing to tell his mother, but when he told this eldest sister, he felt like he had found someone to support him.
He thought about asking for it back on his own, but every time he saw Li Hao, he felt inexplicably scared.
When Li Wushuang heard this, he naturally remembered Li Hao's name and thought of finding an opportunity to deal with him.
So this is the reason... Li Hao was a little speechless. He glanced at Li Yun, who was blushing and nervous. He didn't expect this kid to hold a grudge so much. It seemed that he didn't hit him too hard, but he hit him lightly, and he still dared to remember it.
"Yun'er, when did this happen?" Gao Qingqing's face changed slightly and she asked hurriedly.
Li Yunhe had never been watched by so many elders before. His face suddenly turned red and he lowered his head slightly: "It was several years ago."
"When exactly?"
"Five or six years ago..."
When everyone heard this, they immediately knew it was a misunderstanding. Five or six years ago?
At that time, Li Hao and Li Yun were only eight or nine years old. This was at best a child's mischief, how could it be called bullying?
What's more, at that time, Li Hao seemed to still have a broken body, his meridians were not open, and he had not yet embarked on practice.
And Li Yun has been practicing in the martial arts field for several years.
Um? yes! Why are you being bullied?
When everyone thought of this, their eyes suddenly became suspicious, and they looked at Li Hao and then at Li Yun.
Gao Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't just the kind of bullying she thought. It was probably just a child fighting over a quarrel. The injuries were probably not as serious as those caused by fighting in the martial arts field.
"You kid, how long has this happened? Why do you still remember this and complain to your sister?" Gao Qingqing said angrily. His son is good at everything, but he is not brave enough and has not learned from his father. Open-minded and open-minded.
The other ladies all chuckled, and Liu Yuerong smiled and said: "Yun'er, your brother Hao hadn't practiced five or six years ago. Was it you who bullied him, or he bullied you?"
This seemed to be a joke, but Li Hao immediately sensed a sense of probing.
Of course, it's possible that he was overly concerned.
Li Yun's face became even more bloodshot, and he felt ashamed, but at that time, he had definitely never beaten Li Hao, and the other party was much stronger than him.
"I was careless."
"He attacked me sneakily and was very powerful." Li Yun said with a blushing face.
Hearing Li Yun's words, everyone laughed dumbly, thinking that Li Hao had been training his body earlier, so he would naturally be stronger.
Looking at Li Yun's blushing face, one could tell that the child was considering that he was practicing in the martial arts field, but was bullied by Li Hao, who was not practicing, and it would be embarrassing to speak out.
As a result, he secretly complained to his sister, whom he had not seen for many years, but the embarrassing incident was revealed.
"Huh, it's not like you are always thinking about Brother Hao's fiancée."
Li Yuanzhao heard Li Yun's words and said angrily.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his mother's gaze and said three words with her eyes: Shut up.
Li Xuanli realized that it was a misunderstanding. He glared at Li Yun angrily and said: "It's useless. You should complain to your sister about such a trivial matter. I'm a seven-foot man. If you don't accept it, go to Hao." It’s just a matter of going to the martial arts arena to compete, what’s the point of crying for your father and mother here!”
He reprimanded Li Yun harshly, making Li Yun even more ashamed.
When Gao Qingqing heard him scolding her son, she rolled her eyes at him angrily, changed the subject, and asked Li Hao:
"Speaking of Hao'er, when will your fiancée come back? She is a swordsman apprentice. When she comes back, let her compete with Shuang'er."
