chapter 8(1/2)
Everyone in the Li family knows that Mr. Li named his four sons Li Xuanfeng, Li Xuanyu, Li Xuantong, and Li Xuanzhou. 【】Xuan is their seniority, and the last character of each person's name together means they have been together through thick and thin.
The meaning is self-evident, that is, they should work hard together and go through adversity together.
But they had long forgotten the old man's instructions and wishes. Except for Li Xuanyu who died in a battle with others in the early years, Li Xuantong and Li Xuanzhou glanced at Li Xuandeng in embarrassment. The latter looked at Li Tianyou with guilt and unbearability.
.
The Li family members also bowed their heads and remained silent. When they thought about it from their perspective, they found it difficult to accept it. After all, expelling the family and sacrificing for the family were completely different concepts.
Those who sacrificed their lives for the family can enter the ancestral hall and be respected by future generations, and the family members of the victims can enjoy preferential treatment.
But those who are expelled from the family will not only have their surnames taken back and be ridiculed, but their names on the family tree will also be erased. Even after death, they will be lonely ghosts in the grave and cannot enter the family cemetery.
This kind of punishment is too cruel for people born in the Guwu family. After all, most of the ancient warriors are based on the family. The glory of the family is their pride, and the face of the family is their life. Being expelled from the family is equivalent to
It destroyed all this man's dignity and faith.
Just like Fatty Guo and his former apprentice in the cross talk world, both of them were at odds with each other because of the word "cloud" in the middle of their names. What's more, Li Tianyou is now going to have his last name taken away, erasing all traces of his past existence.
, how could he not be angry, how could he not be aggrieved?
Feeling the depressing atmosphere at the scene, Li Tianci laughed mockingly and said: "You have been the young master for eighteen years, but what have you done for the family? Those who are not talented enough, at least they have worked hard."
Li Tianci stood up and walked to Li Tianyou's side, pointed at the other person's chest with his finger and said: "But what about you? You are born a useless person, forget it if you can't practice, and you don't even have any advantages in other aspects. Ask yourself, what are you doing?
What have you been doing for eight years?"
After seeing the tribesmen gradually raising their noble heads again because of his words, he said word by word: "Eat or sleep."
After everyone heard Li Tianci's direct question, they suddenly realized that they had almost been deceived by Li Tianyou. If he was either eating or sleeping, how could he be so fat? This kind of waste of food in life and waste in death.
The people from the land actually acted pitiful in front of them. The most annoying thing is that everyone turned soft-hearted.
Thinking of this, they became angry and all said:
"Tianyou is so shameless, I was almost fooled by him, but Tianci sees the problem thoroughly."
"This kind of person not only wastes our Li family's food, but also tries to mix things up and deceive our feelings. His heart is to be punished!"
"We, the Li family, cannot support such rice bugs, nor can we let this stumbling block ruin our development plans."
"Yes, expel him from the family."
"I agree"
"I agree"
.......
.......
The Li clan members responded one after another, and their heart-wrenching words were like sharp daggers stabbing Li Tianyou's heart full of holes.
He wanted to proudly say that he had mastered the iron cloth shirt technique to perfection, but after thinking about it, he knew he couldn't say it, otherwise the cause of Li Tianrui's death would definitely be mentioned.
He stared at his father with blank eyes. The thoughts of other people were irrelevant to him. All the efforts he made were just to make his father look up to him. It was a pity that he had just finished practicing the technique and had not had time to give him a chance.
As a surprise to his father, the incident involving Li Tianrui appeared.
Li Xuanfeng looked at his pitiful son and said indifferently: "If you really can't bear to part with the glory and wealth that your family has brought you, then I can transfer half of the property in your name to you, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. But you must leave the Li family.
, this is the only thing you can do for the family, treat it as your feedback to the family after the family has raised you for eighteen years."
Are you reluctant to part with glory and wealth?
The only thing that can be done?
Li Tianyou's eyes showed endless ridicule. This was the impression he had on his father, and this was his attitude towards him.
Ridiculous! Sad!
His body swayed twice, then he stood firmly and said to Li Xuanfeng, who had a cold expression: "Okay, I will do as you wish!"
After saying that, he quickly walked to the table and started writing quickly.
The pen stops, the ink condenses!
Li Tianyou put the thumb of his right hand deep into his mouth and bit off a piece of flesh with his teeth.
The bloody fingers left scarlet marks on the white paper. The red marks were not big, but extremely dazzling. There were no traces of fingers on them, which showed how angry Li Tianyou was in his heart.
Picking up the letter, Li Tianyou walked up to Li Xuanfeng with a sneer and handed it to him respectfully: "Dad, this is the last time I call you this. From now on, I only have a mother and no father."
"Don't think that I care much about this family. This letter is proof of severing the relationship between you and me as father and son. From now on, my name is Tianyou, my surname is not Li, and I have no relationship with the Xinyiquan Li family."
"You..." Li Xuanfeng's face turned gloomy as he looked at the certificate of severance in his hand. He was a little unbelievable. Although the expelled family was not named Li and could not inherit his inheritance, he could do something to him in other ways.
Offer some compensation, after all, he didn't really make any big mistake.
But this piece of paper proved that the two of them became strangers and never interacted with each other until death. He really couldn't believe that Li Tianyou would make such a decision.
At this time, Li Tianyou, who had changed his usual playful smile, looked at Xiao Pojun and said, "Here comes the sword."
Xiao Pojun, who was not sure why, handed the dagger he carried with him to Li Tianyou's hand. He picked up the sharp dagger and cut off the hair on the top of his head...
In ancient times, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, shaved off his hair and had his hair cut off, and suffered from gallbladder while lying on the firewood. Now, the god of war, God Blessed, cut off his hair and returned it to his father, severing the friendship.
"The Classic of Filial Piety" mentions that the body, hair and skin are received by parents and dare not be damaged, which is the beginning of filial piety. If Tianyou hadn't been extremely sad and desperate, he would never have done such an extreme thing.
Growing up, Li Xuanfeng only regarded him as a shame and never cared about him. Tianyou always thought that he cared about his family and was a well-known man. But today's scene made him completely give up. It turned out that in his father's heart, he was so
unbearable.
A father who only has family but no family in his heart is not a rare blessing from God.
If a man cannot even protect his own family, then no matter how outstanding he is and how respected he is, what relationship does he have with their relatives?
Looking at the already formed bald head, Li Xuanfeng's eyes were sluggish, and the corners of his eyes were twitching: "Guizi, are you taking revenge on me? You think this method will embarrass me."
After the last blow was finished, Tianyou, who had a 1,000-watt lightbulb on his head, laughed and said: "How dare I embarrass the head of the Li family? Then am I not seeking death? The Li family of Xinyiquan is so powerful that just their name can scare people to death.
"
"Hehehe~~~~"
"Hahaha~~~~~"
Although Tianyou was smiling, his heart was bleeding.
Everyone at the scene could hear his sarcasm, but considering that he had just been forced to leave the family, everyone understood that he was just saying sour grapes when they couldn't eat them, and they didn't care about it.
"Sir, since you have nothing to do with the Li family, get out of here now."
Tianyou responded not to be outdone: "Let's go, I will leave, but one day I will use my own hands to take back everything that belongs to me."
After finishing speaking, Tianyou turned around and walked to his mother Li Xiaoxinrou. With a bang, he knelt down on his knees, put his hands on the ground, and kowtowed three times: "Mom, my child is unfilial and I cannot serve you for the time being. But please
Don't worry, one day I will definitely make them beg me to come back."
After watching Tianyou kowtow three times with great difficulty, Li Xiao Xinrou helped him support him: "Silly boy, it's your mother who can't forgive you for letting you suffer such humiliation on your coming-of-age ceremony."
She grabbed Tianyou who was about to leave, and with tears in her eyes, she shouted: "Xiao Pojun!"
Xiao Pojun, who was standing aside, quickly stepped forward and respectfully shouted: "Godmother!"
Li Xiao Xinrou looked at the dark-skinned young man adopted by her with red eyes, as if he was just a child less than three years old in another world, but now he is an upright man. She choked and said:
"I adopted you back then, gave you food to eat, and gave you clothes to wear. The Li family does not allow people who have not contributed to the family to be named Li. I asked you to follow my surname of Xiao. The Li family does not allow you to learn from the family tradition.
Quan, I ask for Xingyi Quan for you so that you can practice martial arts."
"Have I ever asked you one thing in all these years?"
Xiao Pojun said respectfully: "No."
"Then I'm begging you for something today. This thing may very well ruin your future. Can you agree to it, godmother?"
Xiao Pojun said: "Pojun's life was given by his godmother. Don't mention it as a matter of fact. Even if you wanted my life, Pojun would not dare to complain."
"Okay, then..."
After Li Xuanfeng heard Li Xiao Xinrou calling out Xiao Pojun, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly said: "Madam, you are the mistress of the Li family. You should put the Li family first, how could you do this?
matter."
Everyone present also understood that she wanted Xiao Pojun to leave with Tianyou, but how could this be done?
It would be okay if it were an ordinary person, but Xiao Pojun would definitely not be able to do it.
Being able to reach the fifth level of martial arts before the age of eighteen is already a rare talent in the history of the Li family. How could they let a genius leave like this? Besides, he is the younger generation of the Li family except Li Tianci, who has the best martial arts skills.
The highest cultivation level.
Li Xuantong said: "Sister-in-law, since Pojun is also your son, how can you bear to ruin his future like this?"
One of the elders said: "Xinrou, although this child Xiao Pojun was adopted by you, he is also a member of the Li family. We have already discussed giving him the surname "Li", and today he can also follow the name of Wu Nian Tang."
The two elders are going to study, and when they return from their studies, they can directly take over my position. You must not destroy this child just for the sake of anger."
Another elder said: "Yes! Although he does not have a surname of Li, he was still brought up by you, but the Li family has nurturing grace and affection for him after all. I will never allow you to ruin the future of the Li family like this."
