Seeing that it was still early, Li Xun couldn't help but think of Chen Shishi, so he went to the Phoenix Tower. Unfortunately, he didn't bring the jade token given by Chen Shishi with him. The strong men guarding the gate looked at each other coldly. Li Xun, the hero, didn't want to suffer the immediate loss, so he had to turn back angrily.

At home.

"Brother Dog!"

As soon as he entered the house, he heard a familiar voice. Li Xun looked up and saw that Yan Yizheng was striding towards him with a happy face. Li Xun was extremely happy to see him. He went up to greet him and kept close contact with Yan Yi.

A tight hug.

"You are finally back. I thought you kidnapped Xiaolian!"

Li Xun pushed Yan Yi away, punched him hard in the chest, and laughed.

Yan Yi joked: "I want to, but Xiaolian refuses to live or die, what can I do?"

"Xiao Lian only has me in her heart, so don't let your imagination run wild."

The two were talking and laughing here. At this time, Xiaolian and Li Mancang walked out of the living room.

Li Xun walked over and saw that Xiaolian's eyes were red and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. She had obviously cried, so he picked up his sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Xiaolian, it's good to be back. There's nothing to cry about."

Xiaolian said weakly: "I have been separated from my adoptive father for two months, which seems like several years. I am often worried about him. I just went home and met my adoptive father. I couldn't hold it back and started crying."

When Xiaolian was very young, her parents died. Her father had a very good relationship with Li Mancang, so before he died, he entrusted her to Li Mancang. After getting along with her for so many years, he was named his adoptive father. In fact, Xiaolian had already regarded her as her adopted father.

Li Mancang treats him as a real father.

When Xiaolian's father died, she actually had an uncle, but her uncle was a homeless man. He took his family everywhere begging and couldn't even support himself. He was even worse than Li Mancang, so he didn't take Xiaolian back.

Make offerings to those around you.

Two months ago, Uncle Xiaolian's son, her cousin, suddenly found her at home. He was dressed in rags, skinny as a stick, and extremely miserable.

When Xiaolian saw her relatives, she burst into tears. With Li Mancang's consent, she welcomed her cousin into the house, had a good meal and a good meal, and then asked her why she came.

Xiaolian's uncle's surname is Wang and Xiao'an. He has three sons and two daughters. Two of the daughters were given to others as child brides because they could not support them. The three sons were kept with him. The eldest was named Wang Da.

The second son is called Er Kui, the youngest son is called Wang San Kui, and the one who found here is Xiaolian's third cousin, Wang San Kui.

Wang Sanqiu said that his family has been living a very bad life in the past few years, wandering and begging everywhere. About six years ago, Uncle Xiaolian and his family wandered to Zezhou, where they met a monk in charge of a large temple from his hometown.

, for the sake of everyone being from the same hometown, this monk kindly took in Wang Sanguo's family and let them do menial work in exchange for meager food. Although life was still very hard, at least they had a stable place to live.

You can barely make ends meet.

This peaceful life only lasted for a year. The White Turban Army of Henan Province rose up in rebellion and soon spread to Hedong. Wang Sanshou's father was worried about Xiaolian's safety, so he asked the eldest and second eldest son to go back to Bizhou.

County, prepare to take Xiaolian over.

When the two of them arrived in Bi County, they were in vain, and almost died in the hands of the White Scarf Army. They finally escaped back to the temple. Within a few days, the White Scarf Army arrived in Zezhou, looting, burning and killing everywhere.

The temple where Wang Santong and others lived was not spared. There was no other way. Xiaolian's uncle had no choice but to take his family and live the life of a refugee again.

Half a year ago, Wang Xiaoan's family wandered to Danzhou. After years of wandering and hardship, Wang Xiaoan finally couldn't bear it any more. He couldn't afford to fall ill. Since he had no money for medical treatment, his condition worsened day by day. It seemed that he would not survive. An accidental opportunity

, Wang Sanhui heard from others the legendary story of the recognition of today's Concubine Li Guifei and her relatives, and learned that the protagonists of the story are called Li Mancang and Li Gou'er, and their ancestral home is Lijia Village, Linhuai County, Qizhou, Henan Province. This is

What a familiar name!

Wang Sanhong's heart suddenly became alive. With a glimmer of hope, he came to Fengjing and finally found Xiaolian.

Li Xun asked: "Xiao Lian, are your uncle and the others okay?"

"The condition has stabilized. When I left, my uncle could get out of bed and walk slowly."

Xiaolian glanced at Li Mancang next to her and hesitated to speak.

Li Xun smiled. He and Xiaolian were childhood sweethearts. The two had lived together for so many years. How could Li Xun not understand what she was thinking? When Xiaolian left, Li Mancang only gave her one hundred taels of silver.

, her uncle's family has seven or eight people, and they have to hire a doctor to treat their illnesses. For more than two months, the money has probably been spent long ago.

"Xiao Lian, why don't you bring your uncle to Fengjing? I will arrange food and accommodation."

Xiaolian's eyes lit up, and she felt happy. Just as she was about to speak, Li Mancang coughed loudly. The two looked at him, and Li Mancang said: "Xiaolian, you just came back, you should be tired, go down and rest!"

"

After that, Li Mancang winked at Li Xun and said, "Follow me to the living room. I have something to tell you."

Xiaolian bit her lip and lowered her head silently. Li Xun shook his head. He had lived in Fengjing for several years, but his father's small peasant mentality was still too strong. He reached out and touched Xiaolian's head, and asked Yan Yi to put Zhu Zhengguo and Zhu Zhengguo together.

From the corner of his eye, he noticed that the brothers had dinner together in the evening, and then followed Li Mancang to the living room.

"Xiao Lian, don't worry, I have Yan Yi. If Uncle Li doesn't help you, I will."

Seeing this, Yan Yi quickly expressed his sincerity.

Xiaolian glared at him and said angrily: "This is my family matter, why do you need to worry about it?"

After that, Xiaolian also walked towards the living room, leaving Yan Yi with a wry smile on his face.

"You brat, what nonsense did you just talk about?"

The two entered the living room, and Li Mancang immediately turned around, looked at Li Xun, and said with an unhappy expression.

Li Xun rolled his eyes: "Old man, what did I say? Didn't I just want to help Xiaolian and her uncle's family? What's wrong with me?"

Li Mancang scolded: "Xiaolian's uncle is not related to us, how can you bring them here to live in a decent manner?"

"Old man, I just said that I would take them to Fengjing, but I didn't say that they would be taken to our home. Don't blame them."

"They all mean the same thing. What's the difference? I don't agree."

Li Mancang sat down angrily.

Li Xun glanced at his father and knew what he was thinking. Now that he was rich, he was still a white man. He was looked down upon and despised by many people. Li Mancang must have felt very aggrieved, so he did not want to have any old friends with his former neighbors.

To put it bluntly, Li Mancang was trying to gain face for himself. He felt that with his current status, it was no longer appropriate to deal with lowly and poor people like Wang Xiaoan, so as not to let outsiders make irresponsible remarks.

Li Xun sat next to Li Mancang and persuaded in a low voice: "Father, Xiaolian is my sister. Isn't your daughter and her uncle our relatives? Now that our relatives are in trouble, how can we just sit back and ignore it?"

Li Mancang said angrily: "I have already given Wang Xiaoan a hundred taels of silver, is this not considered help?"

Li Xun tried to persuade them again, but the two couldn't argue. Li Xun also got angry. He stood up and shouted angrily: "My name is written on the land deeds of the manor. I am also half the owner of this family. For this small matter, I

Can’t you still make the decision?”

Li Mancang raised his hand and slammed the table, and roared: "Who are you kidding? You are my son, and I am your father. How can you, a bastard, rebel against heaven?"

The two of them were arguing more and more fiercely here. Xiaolian, who was hiding outside the door, rushed in, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Brother Gou'er, foster father, you two should stop arguing, everything is Xiaolian's fault."

’s fault.”

Li Xun and Li Mancang fell silent when they saw Xiaolian crying and sad.

Li Xun stepped forward to help Xiaolian up and said to Li Mancang: "Old man, it's not a big deal. There are thousands of people in the manor, but Uncle Xiaolian and the others are not many."

"Forget it, Wang Xiao'an and I are considered acquaintances, and he is Xiao Lian's biological uncle. I can't do too much, so just follow your instructions!"

Li Mancang finally nodded in agreement, glanced at Xiaolian, and sighed: "Xiaolian, don't blame your adoptive father for being stingy. You have lived with us for so many years. Your adoptive father has already treated you as his own daughter. To be honest,

Let me tell you, life was so difficult in the past. My adoptive father never let you go hungry or cold, and he never let you suffer any injustice. He just hoped that when you grow up, you can be the wife of a dog and continue the lineage of my Li family.

When your father was dying, he had the same intention when he handed you over to me."

ah!
Chapter completed!
