"grandfather!"
Arriving at Li Kanshan's room next door, Li Qingshi gently knocked on his grandfather's door.
Li Kanshan opened the door and saw the magic spear in Sun Tzu's hand, and seemed to understand everything.
"Little Shitou, what are you doing?"
Although he was asking questions, as a grandfather, Li Kanshan had already guessed what Li Qingshi was going to do.
Therefore, Li Kanshan looked at his grandson with deep reluctance in his eyes.
Li Qingshi nodded firmly and said: "Grandpa, now our mountain village is protected by the mountain god Grandpa. I believe that you and everyone are safe here, and I am also relieved. I want to... go out and have a try!"
There were many people in Li Kanshan's house, including Li Wufu, Li Laosan and several other respected old men from the mountain village. Everyone was gathering to discuss matters regarding the rebels.
After hearing the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, everyone came out to dissuade them.
"Little Shitou, it's too chaotic outside, so don't rush out."
"Yes, the situation in the county is unclear now. Let's wait and see for a while before making plans."
"Yes, Xiao Shitou, everyone knows that Yi is infinitely powerful and has the power of the gods. But I heard that some of the White Cotton Sect rebels outside are good at sorcery."
Li Qingshi tightened the spear in his hand and said with emotion: "Grandpas and uncles, thank you for your concern and love for me. As you all know, Xiao Shitou, I have had the dream of taking the martial arts exam and serving the imperial court since I was a child. Now it is the right time. In troubled times, it is the time for men to make contributions, so how could I miss this opportunity?"
After a pause, Li Qingshi continued: "Besides, I have a reason to go, so please stop trying to persuade me."
Li Kanshan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Good men have ambitions in all directions. Go ahead. Grandpa supports you. Grandpa has dragged you down for too long these years. Now that Grandpa Mountain God is blessing you, you don't have to worry too much." It’s a matter of family. Take care of yourself.”
Li Laosan seemed to have guessed one of Li Qingshi's purposes, and immediately sighed and said: "Little Shitou, these scraps of silver are the coffins I have saved over the years. If you have a chance, could you please take care of them for me?" Weiwei and her mother.”
Li Laosan guessed that Li Qingshi was probably looking for his granddaughter Sun Weiwei, but the other party didn't tell him about it, and it was hard for him to expose it. The young man was very thin-skinned after all.
But if Li Qingshi didn't mention it, he couldn't be ignorant.
No matter what others say, they still want to protect their daughter and grandson. If I don't express it, I won't be able to explain it.
Li Qingshi's face turned red, and he nodded heavily and said, "Third Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely find them and bring them back to our mountain village."
Seeing Li Laosan handing over the scraps of silver, Li Qingshi waved his hand and refused: "No way, Third Grandpa, you have saved all this money with great difficulty. I absolutely can't take it. Besides, there are dangers everywhere. If I take it with you, Too much money is not good, just some food and drink.”
After chatting with some elders for a while, Li Qingshi saw that Li Qingjiang was also nearby, so he said: "Cousin, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while when I go out. The cleaning staff at the mountain temple , I need to trouble you to do it for me."
Li Qingjiang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It should be so, cousin, just don't worry."
Soon, surrounded by everyone, Li Qingshi carried a baggage on his back and a gleaming magic weapon spear, and went downstairs to the outside of the earth building.
Outside the earth building, Li Qingshi was not the only one preparing to leave.
Zou Shengsheng, the yellow goods master of Sun Jiyinlou, has also packed his bags and is watching several apprentices who have come with him loading their cars.
The news of the rebels' attack was brought back by one of his apprentices who was working hard early in the morning.
Seeing everyone approaching, he greeted them with a wry smile.
"Oh, I originally planned to say goodbye to everyone after packing up. I never thought you would all come down here. This is so grand that I feel embarrassed. Everyone, stay, stay!"
Everyone in Kaoshan Village suddenly looked embarrassed when they heard this.
Li Qingshi, who was walking in front, squeezed out a smile and said, "Master Zou, if it's convenient, I'd like to take a ride."
When Zou Shengsheng heard this, he realized that these people were not here to see him off.
However, after living in the city for a long time, Zou Shengsheng's face is much thicker than those farmers who have been doing farm work in the countryside all year round.
He immediately smiled and relaxed the atmosphere and said, "Of course it's no problem. You happen to be on the way, so I feel more at ease."
During the two days that Zou Shengsheng stayed here, he also heard about Li Qingshi's bravery.
With multiple such people in the team, the safety index skyrockets, so why not do it.
Li Laosan helped pick up the luggage that one of Zou Shengsheng's apprentices had dropped on the ground while carrying it and put it in the car. He said with greetings: "Master Zou, there should be nothing going on at Sun Jiyin Building."
Zou Shengsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "No one can say for sure about this. When the ladies went back a few days ago, the person who came to deliver the message said that the county had begun collecting corvees and collecting grain. Since there are already With all the preparations we have made, we may be able to withstand it for a while! But I heard that the Shanyang Order is going out to fight, and even if we can hold on for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for too long. I still have my wife, children, and children at home, so I really can't rest assured."
Li Laosan nodded with an ugly expression, with an indescribable loneliness in his eyes, and said: "Master Zou is right. A family must be together no matter what time!"
Soon, Zou Shengsheng and others' luggage and belongings were packed, everyone said goodbye, and Li Qingshi set off with Zou Shengsheng's motorcade.
After walking a few hundred meters away, we arrived at the city wall.
On the city wall, it was Yu Daoquan who was on duty.
Yu Daoquan smiled bitterly and said to Li Qingshi: "Li Zhuangshi, those dishes and soups you sent yesterday really made our brothers suffer."
They are all a bunch of stinky men. After hearing this, he immediately understood the meaning behind Yu Daoquan's words.
Zou Shengsheng also agreed and said, "Yeah, it's really inconvenient not to have a wife by my side."
Yu Daoquan smiled and scolded: "Brother, you still have a mother-in-law. I'm afraid you can solve the problem when you go back this time. It's even more difficult for us bachelors in this ravine."
Li Qingshi scratched the back of his head and asked doubtfully: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Didn't yesterday's soup taste good? It smelled pretty good to me!"
Yu Daoquan paused and said, "Oh? Master Li, didn't you drink the soup yesterday?"
Li Qingshi nodded and said: "Yesterday, grandpa asked me to deliver the soup to you. When I returned, the soup had been shared by everyone, but I also drank some good things. I was happy and comfortable with the reward from the mountain god. Refreshing bubble water! But it seems that after being left for a day, although the water is still very sweet, it has lost the refreshing energy it had before, and is more like brown sugar water."
Yu Daoquan and Zou Shengsheng looked at each other and laughed. Zou Shengsheng said: "It's not good, it's not good. Although the stuff is good, it doesn't make sense for a young man to drink it."
The two chatted jokingly for a while, then Yu Daoquan got out of the way and asked casually: "You guys went out this time with all these big and small bags, don't you plan to come back?"
Zou Shengsheng sighed and said: "The White Cotton Sect rebels are in rebellion. My disciple came to report in the morning that the rebels had been fighting in the Yushan Mountains for a long time and could not be defeated for a long time, so they sent another team. They advanced in the other direction and have now invaded most of the territory of Shanyang County. It is said that the county is in danger. I have to go back quickly to settle my family and children!"
Yu Dao's face changed slightly, his hands tightened unnaturally, and he said, "Is this true?"
Zou Shengsheng smiled bitterly and said: "How can I joke with you about this kind of thing? Originally, our owner of Sun Jiyin Building wanted me to stay here for a while. How can I care about business and the safety of my family now? That’s the most important thing.”
Yu Daoquan's eyes widened even more and he asked: "What? Sun Ji Yin Lou, brother, are you from Sun Ji Yin Lou?"
An apprentice next to Zou Shengsheng patted his chest and said proudly: "My master is the best yellow goods master in Sun Ji Yin House. More than half of the yellow goods in Sun Ji Yin House are collected and handled by my master. It’s in my hand.”
Zou Shengsheng laughed and scolded: "You kid, don't show off. What is the best or not is just for everyone's praise, and it's just a living."
Yu Daoquan felt slightly uneasy.
When they came before, the young lady only said that they were returning to their hometown to visit relatives, and Li Laosan, a highly respected member of the village, also came to pick them up personally, so the big guys didn't think much about it.
I never thought that these people were actually from Sun Jiyinlou!
Thinking that people like him had previously robbed many Huang Department Stores in Sun Ji Silver Building, Yu Daoquan felt embarrassed and boasted: "Master, you are so humble. No wonder I think you have a superior temperament, but you are actually a rare and skilled craftsman. "
Zou Shengsheng waved his hands with a smile and said: "Brother, you have promoted me. If you need to make gold and silver in the future, just come to me."
Li Qingshi anxiously looked up at the sun in the sky, and couldn't help but urge: "Master Zou, Brother Yu, let's talk about it later. It's important to be in a hurry now, and things will change if it's too late."
"Yes, yes, brother, let's say goodbye." Zou Shengsheng bowed his hand towards Yu Daoquan.
Yu Daoquan also shook his hands up and down, then took out a slender piece of wood the size of a willow leaf from his long sleeve, handed it to Li Qingshi and said: "Li Zhuangshi, the road here is not smooth. If you encounter trouble from the rebels, , you can show them this thing, it might be useful."
Li Qingshi curiously took the wooden strip and saw that it seemed to have exquisite lines carved on it, but for a while he couldn't tell what shape and pattern it was.
Li Qingshi asked casually: "Brother Yu, what is this?"
Yu Daoquan pursed his lips, exhaled, and explained: "I had previously performed meritorious deeds on a leader of the Qingrong Sect. This man is now one of the leaders of the Baimian Sect. This object is his token. , at a critical moment, it may save lives.”
"I see! But Brother Yu, such a good thing may save your life at a critical moment. You can just keep it. How can I be embarrassed to ask for it."
"Haha, I'm here to guard. Do you think that if the rebels really attack, Grandpa Mountain God will ignore us?"
Li Qingshi nodded and said: "That makes sense. Thank you to Brother Yu for giving me the treasure. Next time we meet, I will return it intact and intact."
After thanking Daoquan, Li Qingshi and his party left.
