Li brought her brother back home with a large basket of bitter herbs and purslane. After practicing the Twelve Postures of Feng Ming, she climbed over mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground. She could go to many inaccessible places at will, such as under the cliff and beside the eagle's nest.
, next to tiger dens, at the entrance of bear caves and other places, where no one picks wild vegetables and they grow particularly lush.
After the black-faced little girl accidentally killed two tigers and a black bear while picking wild vegetables, the ferocious beasts in this mountain forest learned to hide in their nests and wait for the king of beasts who was picking wild vegetables to leave.
Dare to vent your anger loudly.
There was no one else in the shabby huts of the Li family except her babbling brother Li Fugui. Li did not have to worry about being seen, so he could use martial arts at will.
The little girl rubbed the firewood vigorously with her hands, stood in front of the stove, stepped on the air with her feet in turn, walked to a halt in mid-air, replaced the original two small benches with a flying goose riding on the clouds, and started preparing the family's dinner.
In the pot steamed steamed buns with mixed noodles, and in the earthen pot still cooked vegetable porridge.
Li Daidi took out a piece of venison and put it into the porridge and simmered it together. After cooking for more than half an hour, he took out the venison and ate it using the method of swallowing the sky and eating the earth. Then he added a lot of bitter and astringent wild vegetables to the porridge.
Masks the taste of meat.
If you dig out a lot of wild vegetables, your parents will only be happy and will never find the porridge unpalatable.
She has been cooking meat in porridge for half a month, and no one has discovered this little secret.
Every night I secretly use internal energy to condition my grandma's body, and her face is getting better and better. After drinking meat porridge for half a month, my brother's face has also become fleshy.
Only my father's arm had been injured too heavily and for a long time, and the bones had grown crooked. There was no way to heal him unconsciously.
Moreover, if the arm is cured, my father may be selected when the time comes to recruit soldiers for war. This matter will be very difficult to handle.
In Xiaosongzhuang, the hands and feet that he broke in order to avoid military service are called lucky hands and feet, because although the hands and feet are broken, he no longer has to leave his hometown to work as a soldier, which is a rare blessing for the villagers.
Li Daidi is not too worried. She has learned Kung Fu, and her family's life will only get better and better.
But what will I do after I get married?
Li Daidi thought about the two hundred kilograms of millet that his father had negotiated with the Wang family in Qinghe Fort over the mountain, and felt depressed.
It was getting dark, and Li Laosan and Mr. Wang, who was carrying a hoe, returned home and sat down on the old, blackened square table to eat.
Li Daidi had long stopped swallowing while looking at the steamed buns and porridge on the table. She set out the dishes for her parents and then prepared to go to the stream with a large basin of sweat-smelling clothes and diapers.
Li Laosan was eating steamed buns and drinking wild vegetable porridge, with a thin face full of wrinkles and no expression.
He was chewing the bitter sesame seeds in the porridge, then suddenly put down the large porcelain bowl and the chopsticks in his hand, stretched out his hand to pick out something from his mouth and brought it to his eyes.
It was a piece of boiled shredded pork, only one third of the thickness of chopsticks, and one end had been chewed by Li Laosan.
The wrinkles on Li Laosan's wooden face became more and more profound. He stood up suddenly and shouted in Wang's frightened eyes:
"Damn girl! Come back!"
Brother Li had just walked outside the fence not far away with the wooden basin filled with clothes. When he heard his father's voice, he quickly ran back with the wooden basin in his arms.
"Dad..."
Li Laosan glared fiercely, holding the cooked shredded venison in his hand, and his whole body was shaking with anger.
Without saying a word, he slapped Daidi Li in the mouth, and then used his left hand that he had broken off with a stone to hold the shredded meat in front of Daidi Li.
"You harmful person, you lose money! Where did you steal this meat? Was it stolen from Muramasa's house? How could you do such a thing, how dare you do such a thing!
Our old Li family has been loyal farmers for generations, if you do such sneaky things, if others find out, how can I still behave in the village!"
The more Li Laosan thought about it, the angrier he became. He pushed Daidi Li on the shoulder. When he failed to push her down, he kicked the little girl.
"I didn't steal..."
"You're still lying! You're so young and you dare to steal other people's meat. Why did our old Li family have such a thing? You are so unruly and full of lies. If you marry into the Wang family in the future, you will not change your ways and make mistakes.
I don’t care if I beat you to death with a stick!”
When Li Laosan heard Dai Di Li's harsh words, he became even more angry and kicked Dai Di Li a few more times.
"Dad, I don't want to get married, and I don't want to go to the Wang family."
"What did you say!" Li Laosan was filled with unknown anger, and his two eyebrows suddenly stood up.
"How dare you say such shameless words! Where did you learn such shameless words!
Although I am a poor man, I still know that with every spit and nail, you have promised to the Wang family, and the Wang family is your husband's family!
Are you the one who can make the final decision about your marriage?
You shameless thing, I have to beat you to death today!"
Li Laosan turned around and saw that there was no one else taking advantage of him, so he picked up the bench next to the square table. Regardless of Mr. Wang's crying and shouting, he grabbed his clothes, picked up the bench made of hard wood and carried it towards Li Laosan.
Hit my brother on the head!
Li Daidi lowered his head, his mind was in confusion, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to block the bench. The iron flow in her meridians naturally flourished, and she held the bench with her thin arms. Feng Ming's iron cloth shirt was forceful.
The force of it immediately shook the bench into three pieces.
When Li Daidi heard the sound of the bench breaking, he realized that he had made a big mistake. He immediately took back his energy, but the remaining strength, which was less than one thousandth of the strength, did not dissipate after breaking the bench. He still had the strength to hold on to the bench.
Li Laosan staggered and sat down on the ground.
Li Laosan panicked, looking at his daughter as if he had seen some monster.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!" He put his hands on the ground, kicked his legs, and stepped back desperately. He retreated under the table in a few clicks.
He stepped back in panic, and his left hand that could not straighten hit the table leg at an angle.
The old square table shook violently, and the earthen jar containing the meat porridge on the table fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The remaining meat porridge was scattered everywhere.
When Li Laosan saw the porridge on the ground, he hurriedly picked up the large pieces of the earthen pot without thinking. He lay on the ground and licked the remaining porridge from the broken pieces of the earthen pot. The hot porridge made him inhale.
The infant Li Fugui was frightened by the sound of the bench breaking and the earthen jar smashing. He cried at the top of his voice. Mrs. Wang quickly picked up the child and shook her. Her panicked eyes looked at Li Laosan, Li Daidi, and Li Fugui.
He was wandering around in circles, unable to say anything.
Daidi Li clenched his fists, feeling as if dozens of kilograms of chaff were stuffed into his chest, it was stinging and heavy.
The little girl didn't know what to say, didn't know how to explain to her parents, but she just knew that she didn't want to stay in this home for a moment anymore.
Li Daidi turned around and ran towards the outside of the village. She no longer concealed her martial arts skills and used her eagle attack technique with all her strength. Her running figure almost turned into a shadow and she rushed straight out of the small house where she was born and raised.
village.
She ran wildly all night in the deep mountains and old forests, looking at nothing and thinking about nothing, until dawn came and the sun rose in the east.
After stopping, Li Daidi began to look at the surrounding scenery. She saw familiar trees, familiar birds and animals, and familiar fields in the distance.
But these are not what the little girl wants. What she wants, she doesn't know.
Under the rising sun, Li led his brother through the stream, through the mountains, through the Qinghe Fort on the other side of the mountain, through villages after villages, and through small roads, which turned into big roads.
, the main road became an official road.
The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and Li Daidi slowed down and kept moving forward along the flat official road.
This is the first time Li brought his brother to a place so far away from Xiaosongzhuang.
Everything on the road is very fresh, there are bullock carts, horse-drawn carriages, wheelbarrows, peddlers carrying burdens, escort teams escorting merchants, well-dressed men riding tall horses, tea stalls and wine shops, and city walls several feet high.
and a city gate that can drive four carriages side by side.
Li walked with her brother to the city gate along with the bustling crowd, but the place near the city gate was ten times more lively and lively than she had imagined at Shijilipu.
Li Daidi looked up and saw three large characters engraved above the city gate. This city is called Qinyang City.
The little girl used a form of pigeon hiding to hide herself, and followed a bamboo vendor into the tall city.
