At this moment, several martial arts masters around the garden were scanning the surroundings vigilantly. They had protected the old lady all year round and were extremely familiar with their responsibilities.
Occasionally, when they glanced across the garden, they saw that the old lady was still half-squinting her eyes, half asleep, and then they looked away again.
"The old lady comes back here every year. She likes to stay here more and more!"
Some people are thinking in their hearts, and they also know that this is not the old lady's homestead, but in the past ten years, she always likes to come back here to stay for a while in the spring and autumn.
Li Yan stood in front of Li Yue, and he vaguely saw some outlines of Li Wei from Li Yue's face.
"What's your name? Why are you here?"
Li Yan's penetrating gaze went straight into the other person's mind, but at this time, Li Yue had lost her sense of autonomy.
"Li Yue, this is my eldest brother's homestead, and I'm here to pay homage to my parents!"
"Your eldest brother's homestead? What's his name?"
"Li Wenwu..."
When the old woman Li Yue woke up from a deep sleep, she felt that she had had a very strange dream. In the dream, she met a young man she had never met before.
The man's attire was very strange, and he didn't belong to the imperial dynasty at first glance, but she felt an aura of peace and calmness from that man that made her feel very at ease.
It was as if it was a big mountain that could protect her from all wind and rain.
Later, the man asked some questions about the Li family, and she answered them all truthfully, without any resistance in her heart.
Although Li Yue herself is not in the officialdom, her husband is a bachelor, and she is also a first-class wife who has held a high position for many years.
Having often dealt with those in the DPRK, I have long developed a mind like a fox, knowing what can be said and what should not be mentioned.
But she herself didn't expect what the other party would ask, so she said it without reservation, without any thought of hiding anything.
Finally, the strange young man fell into silence for a long time, and then looked at her again.
"The root of your disease has penetrated deep into your heart. You only have five years to live at most. Let's get rid of this disease today.
There is also a bottle of elixir here, which contains four longevity and disease-removing elixirs. Two of them can be shared with your second brother. You can live at least fifty more years.
As for the remaining two pills, when your time comes, you can take them to regain some longevity.
But you are all mortals after all. No matter how good your body is, your spirit and soul must follow the cycle of heaven. If you take pills again, the effect will be greatly reduced, and you can only extend your life span for another ten years or so. This is already the limit.
Of course, you can also leave these pills to your husband or future generations for use. However, wealth has its own destiny, and everything cannot be perfect. You can just think about how to make the best use of these pills.
Finally, you must not tell anyone other than your closest relatives about this treasure, otherwise even the emperor of the current dynasty will not let you go and steal this thing!"
Li Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she felt the noon sun shining on her body again, making her feel the comfort she had not experienced in a long time. The children's silver bells in the distance
The sound came into my ears again.
"I'm really old, I fell asleep in a daze!"
Li Yue slowly opened her eyes, then looked around with confusion. After seeing clearly that everything around her remained unchanged, she hesitantly looked back.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.
Some scenes from the dream still remained in her mind, and in the end, the young man suddenly disappeared, which made her wake up from her dream.
At this moment, a maid came from behind on tiptoe. Just in time to see Li Yue trying to sit up, she quickly quickened her pace and spoke quickly.
"Old madam, old madam, wait a moment, wait a moment, I will help you!"
As she spoke, she quickened her pace and ran to Li Yue's side. Then she passed a familiar hand through Li Yue's armpit and gently lifted his upper body up to sit upright.
"Huaixiang, is it time for lunch again?"
Li Yue, who was sitting upright, spoke slowly. Huai Xiang had been with her for many years and knew her living habits very well.
"Old madam, the autumn sun is shining brightly now. You can't just drink a little soup at noon. You have to eat an extra mouthful, otherwise the old lady will definitely punish this slave when you go back!"
Huai Xiang squatted down neatly, and then gently put the show shoes on the ground on Li Yue's feet.
"Hahaha, he doesn't dare. Otherwise, if you get married immediately when you get angry, we will lose a 'tofu knife' in our house!"
Li Yue joked. Although Huaixiang is not the housekeeper of the house, she has scolded all the housekeepers in the house, big and small, and is quite afraid of her.
The main reason is that some housekeepers always bully the servants, which is actually the most common thing in any noble house.
But when Huaixiang was more than ten years old, she was adopted by the old lady into her mansion. She knew how humble her parents were and how miserable the poor were.
Therefore, whenever she saw those housekeepers doing evil things or saying evil things, she would open her mouth and curse them.
Therefore, she got the nickname "Tofu Knife" in the mouths of those handymen.
The housekeepers often complained to the old lady, and Li Yue always dismissed them with a smile and shook her head, so she also knew Huaixiang's nickname.
"Old madam, please stop teasing me. It's really fish head and tofu soup today...Old madam, old madam, what's wrong with you?"
Huai Xiang had already put on Li Yue's shoes and was mumbling something, before getting up and helping Li Yue stand up. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got up, she saw Li Yue looking at his hands in confusion.
"Hey, old lady, this little porcelain vase is so beautiful. Where did it come from?"
At this time, there was a green porcelain bottle slightly larger than his thumb in Li Yue's palm. It was crystal clear, like a very high-grade jadeite, and was so delicate that you couldn't put it down.
Huaixiang had never seen Li Yue take out such a treasure before, and couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Oh, oh oh... this time from the ancestors
What I found in the house is an old thing! By the way, let’s go over and eat, I’m really hungry today.”
Li Yue woke up from her trance. She quietly put the green porcelain bottle in her sleeve, then landed on her feet and walked forward immediately.
"Old madam, please slow down, you're going to cough again later. Hey, I told you to slow down..."
Huai Xiang quickly followed her, but after she took a few steps, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
The old lady who always wheezed and coughed after taking a few steps quickly felt as if there was wind under her feet. She hurriedly took a few steps but could not keep up.
At this moment, Li Yue's heart was filled with panic.
"That wasn't a dream. It really wasn't a dream. My illness was completely cured, and I still have this bottle of elixir!"
She has matured and matured, and although her heart feels like huge waves crashing on the shore, her face remains always kind and peaceful.
But no one noticed that one of her crossed hands on her lower abdomen was holding the other long sleeve tightly, and the joints had already turned white!
And just high in the sky where no one could see, Li Yanzheng was looking down quietly. Suddenly, two more phantoms appeared next to him.
"Why don't you show up and actually meet her?"
Zhao Min heard a sweet sound like the impact of ice cubes. She had just seen Li Yan use a spell to make Li Yue enter unconsciousness.
"It's not necessary. Should we let her meet my fifth uncle, whom she has never met before?
My parents and third brother are gone, and even the only nephew I have ever met has already entered the road of reincarnation.
I left before Li Yuewei was born. Apart from feeling the same blood aura from them, I don’t know anything about their past. What can I say when we meet?
What’s the point of talking about my deceased parents and third brother? It’s just adding to the sadness!”
Li Yan shook his head and answered softly.
At this moment, he felt that an invisible force was rising from the small mountain village below, pushing him away bit by bit, pushing him further and further away. And the only thing that could catch his eyes when he was pushed away was that
An old house.
But when his eyes touched the scene around that house, he felt it was so dazzling and out of place.
The memories he once left deep in his heart became more and more unreal. Li Yan understood that the force that pushed him to leave the small mountain village was called "strange"!
He learned everything he wanted to know from Li Yuekou.
Dad passed away twenty-three years ago. At that time, Li Yan was still in seclusion on the mainland, dreaming about how to return.
Later, my mother also passed away six months later because she missed Li Yan and Li Chang too much.
They all lived to be about 140 years old, which is an extremely long-lived "old god" among mortals, but they could not wait for the return of "Old Five" after all.
After his parents left, the third brother Li Wei often sat in that small room and talked about it all day long.
What others hear most is
"Lao Wu, you asked me to take care of my parents. Now that they are gone, I want to take care of them, but there is no one left..."
"Even if you died outside, Fifth Brother, you should still return home!" and the like.
Only those who are familiar with the Li family know who the fifth child in Li Wei's mouth is.
A few years later, Li Wei's eldest son Li Wenwu ran out of life and entered the reincarnation of heaven.
At this time, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man to his side. Li Wei could no longer hold on, and finally became bedridden due to an illness.
But one night, he suddenly sat up. Under the horrified eyes of his family, he put on his clothes and stumbled out of the door, regardless of other people's dissuasion...
The heirs were frightened and hurriedly followed behind, and finally saw Li Wei coming to a cemetery a few miles away, where there were the graves of Li Chang, his wife and his son Li Wenwu.
Li Wei first rubbed the tombstone of Li Wenwu with trembling hands, and he cried while pressing his head against the tombstone.
After a while, he arrived at the tomb of Li Chang and his wife, knelt down on the ground and cried bitterly. The heirs in the family knew that Li Wei had a dull personality but was very stubborn.
I could only keep persuading him, but I didn't dare to help him stand up against his will.
"I have no parents to take care of me. No more, Lao Wu, will you come back to your soul on Double Ninth Day...will you...will you come!"
But Li Wei's voice became smaller and smaller as he cried, and finally he knelt down and bowed, resting his head on the ground and stopped crying.
When the second son Li Jie felt something was wrong and went to help him, he found that Li Wei had already died of anger!
That day coincided with the Double Ninth Festival!!
One year later, Li Wei's wife died, and five years later, his eldest son Li Wenwu's wife died. This is how Li Yan obtained the details of several deaths.
Li Wei has two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Li Wenwu, the second son Li Jie, and the youngest daughter Li Yue.
Li Yue fell in love at first sight with Fang Wende, an important official of the dynasty, in Qingshan Pass City, and became his official wife. By then, Fang Wende was the Duke of the country, and his wealth was even more prominent. Li Yue was also named a first-class wife by the dynasty.
Li Jie also became an official in the court because of Li Yue's relationship, and is now a second-rank governor with the same respected status.
Li Yue originally planned to bring his eldest brother Li Wenwu into the dynasty, but Li Wenwu had acquired good martial arts and could enter the officialdom more easily than Li Jie.
However, Li Wenwu flatly refused to become an official in the court and only wanted to stay in the small mountain village to take care of Li Wei and his elderly grandparents.
In the end, Li Yan's ancestral home was renovated again and again by Li Yue and became what it is today.
Li Jie and Li Yue will also come back to stay for a period of time every year and serve Li Wei and his grandparents for some time.
Even after Li Wei and his wife passed away, they would still come back to pay their respects and stay here for a while.
They also followed what Li Wei had told them countless times and moved all the spiritual tablets to the old house.
"I still have a lot of elixirs that can increase longevity!"
Zhao Min looked at Li Yue who was running hastily and spoke again.
Li Yan slowly shook his head.
