The ancestral home of Li Mu's family is not in the urban area of Taocheng, but at the foot of a mountain called Shaoyang Mountain in the county below.
This large piece of homestead land in Taocheng City was purchased by Li Chengzu when he was young. It was later confiscated by the government. Eighteen years ago, after policy changes, this homestead land was returned to the Li family.
Grandfather and son Li Cheng pawned a few gold bars passed down from their ancestors, built houses on this land, opened clinics, and gradually reached this point.
Before the homestead in Taocheng was returned to the Li family, Li Mu's family lived at the foot of Shaoyang Mountain. They moved to Taocheng eighteen years ago.
Now when we talk about the ancestral home, we must be referring to the old house at the foot of Shaoyang Mountain.
"Going to the ancestral home?"
Yuan Qinghua was stunned when she heard this: "Okay, what are you going to do in Shaoyang Mountain? It's more than a hundred miles away!"
Li Haichuan said: "Women should stop asking about men's affairs!"
Yuan Qinghua: "De Xing! If you tell me, I'm not willing to listen!"
After all, she was curious, so she approached Li Mu and asked, "Son, what are you doing? You are so busy."
Li Mu smiled and said: "We rise for the motherland!"
Yuan Qinghua sighed: "I still want peace in the universe!"
Seeing that Li Mu was unwilling to talk, she knew that there were some things that were not convenient for her to know, so she thought they were related to the inheritance of the old Li family.
Li's bone-setting skills were passed down from son to daughter. Although Li Chengzu's medical skills were passed on to several of his daughters, the core bone-setting techniques and the prescriptions and preparation methods of thirty-six plasters were kept secret and were only passed down to
Li Haichuan is alone.
Even Yuan Qinghua, the daughter-in-law, knows nothing about the traditional medical skills of the old Li family.
On the contrary, Li Mu was taught the theory of traditional Chinese medicine by his grandfather since he was a child. He has his own ideas in bone setting. When he was in school, he often helped his classmates to massage their muscles and activate their pulses.
The three of them came to the garage, and Li Mu pressed the car key: "Take my car!"
The Pegasus sedan's headlights turned on, and Biubiu barked several times.
"Hey, Pegasus!"
Li Haichuan glanced at Li Mu's car and said, "Good guy, it's a seven-seater business car. Where did you get so much money?"
Li Mu said: "This is from Luo Zhendong."
"Luo Zhendong? Luo Zhendong from Zhendong Pharmaceutical Company?"
"Yes, I saved his life. Not only did he give me a car, he also gave me 10 million yuan."
"As expected of the richest man, this is indeed a big deal!"
Li Haichuan opened a clinic. Although it mainly provides bone-setting plasters, nearby residents often like to come to Li Haichuan's clinic when they encounter headaches, fever, diarrhea and loose stools. Therefore, Li Haichuan's clinic also has patients.
For many Western medicines, dedicated retired doctors sit in the clinic to prescribe medicines, infusions and injections to patients.
Most of the liquids in his clinic are produced by Zhendong Pharmaceutical Company, so Li Haichuan has a very clear understanding of the size of Zhendong Pharmaceutical Company, and naturally he also knows Luo Zhendong.
Now seeing that this car was given to Li Mu by him, Li Haichuan smiled and said: "I really don't regard money as money. This is a high-end Pegasus. The landing price must be at least 300 yuan."
Li Mu said: "It is indeed more comfortable to drive than Dongfeng."
"Nonsense, the difference is more than three million yuan!"
Li Haichuan said to Li Mu: "This car is fine for driving in the city, but it won't work when going to my hometown. It has to be scratched. Let's talk about the matter between you and Luo Zhendong on the way. Get in my car first."
His car is an imported off-road vehicle. It is tall and large, and the interior space is comparable to that of a RV. It is known as a fuel-efficient vehicle, has plenty of horsepower, and is very impressive when driving on the road.
Li Haichuan just said that Li Mu's cars are expensive, and the price of his off-road car is not much cheaper than the Pegasus.
He has bought this car for five or six years and rarely uses it. He only lets the car air out when he goes on a self-driving trip. Normally, he never has the chance to drive it.
After the three people got in the car, the off-road vehicle roared out of the garage and drove towards Shaoyang Mountain.
Shaoyang Mountain is more than a hundred miles away from Taocheng City, and Li Haichuan drove for more than an hour before reaching the foot of the mountain.
Along the way, Li Mu told his grandfather and father everything about assisting Luo Zhendong and injuring Tie Guangcheng in Wencheng City, and finally said: "Tie Guangcheng is the first person I have met in reality.
There are many ancient martial arts masters, and I suspect there are more warriors hiding in the dark, but they just can’t come out."
Li Chengzu said: "It's also possible that he, like you, got a great opportunity, and that's why he had amazing military power."
Li Mu shook his head and said: "I saw that he didn't say anything, so I didn't force him to ask. However, after he was discharged from the hospital, he would definitely be questioned by the government, and he would probably be ordered to peace. If he didn't want to die and was obsessed with fame and wealth, the source of his kung fu would be
, may be controlled by the government."
Li Haichuan said: "This way, there will be one more enemy."
Li Chengzu shook his head and said: "You can't be an enemy! If this person is ordered to be settled by the government, the government will definitely give him a position. He is a low-level worker, so he will naturally hold on to this hard-won opportunity and will never dare to violate it.
Rules and regulations. In this way, we will not dare to seek revenge against Xiaomu."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Grandpa's analysis is still thorough!"
He said to Li Chengzu: "But for the sake of safety, we still have to take precautions in advance. When we get to the old house, I will cut off your hair and wash your marrow, open up your meridians, and swallow a few elixirs. By then, you will definitely be able to improve your cultivation."
Why. When Tie Guangcheng comes again, you can subdue him without me taking action!"
Li Chengzu shook his head and said: "I can't do it! I'm old! As long as my physical strength is better and I can see a few more patients, I'll be satisfied. Fighting is your dad's favorite thing, so leave it to him!" p>
Li Haichuan coughed a few times: "Don't talk nonsense, am I that kind of person? I haven't had a fight in years!"
Li Mu and Li Chengzu laughed at the same time.
Li Haichuan's face was a bit confused: "Why are you laughing? I am now a local celebrity and an heir of intangible cultural heritage! Can I fight with people shirtless? Do I want to lose my image?"
Although he said he couldn't fight, the sudden speed of the car reflected the excitement and joy in his heart.
The car got off the main road and entered a bumpy path. After turning a few turns, a small mountain village appeared in front of everyone.
This small mountain village is built on the flat land near the river at the foot of the mountain. There are more than 200 households, and it is called Erlang Village.
Li Mu's family lived in this village before.
After the car drove into the village, Li Mu jumped out of the car with a cigarette in his hand. When he saw a peer or an old man, he would hand out a cigarette and keep mouthing.
"Brother Dahu, you didn't go out this year? How are the crops in the fields doing now?"
"Uncle Sanbao, you have become much richer. Is your Xiaodong married?"
"Sister-in-law Yutang is taking care of her grandson? Oh my, this kid is so tough and tough, he looks really energetic!"
As he walked in the village, he greeted everyone he met and handed cigarettes to the old people he saw. Soon everyone in the village knew that three generations of Li Chengzu had returned to their hometown.
Village chief Jia Dongfang hurriedly came out to greet you: "Uncle, Haichuan, when you come back, why don't you say hello in advance? I can also arrange food and drinks in advance."
He looked at Li Mu and praised: "Good guy, Xiao Mu, you are getting more and more handsome! Kids in the city are different!"
The Li family, young and old, must return to Erlang Village to stay for a few days before the Chinese New Year. They usually spend New Year's Eve in the village, and only leave the village and return to the city on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Although they left their hometown, they never lost contact with their hometown.
Li Chengzu smiled and said: "Isn't this the May Day holiday? Xiao Mu happened to be home, so we came over and cleaned up the old yard."
Jia Dongfang said enthusiastically: "I didn't dry the quilt in advance. I guess there's no room for anyone to live in the house. You might as well stay at my house tonight!"
He and Li Haichuan grew up together. Whenever he went to the city, he would always go to Li Haichuan for a drink. The two had a very good relationship.
Li Haichuan shook his head and said: "The weather is nice today. You can just take out the quilt to dry it and cover it. I have brought all the toiletries. If you really can't live in it, I will definitely stay at your house."
Jia Dongfang accompanied them to the old house, helped clean the courtyard and dried the quilt, and then left with a smile: "I'll treat you to this lunch. My brother-in-law owns the restaurant at the end of the village. Let's have a drink!"
”
After Jia Dongfang left, Li Chengzu sighed: "Let's go to the ancestral hall in the backyard."
The old house of the Li family occupies a large area, with three acres of land. People live in the front, and an ancestral hall is built in the back. The table enshrines the memorial tablets of ancestors of all generations, and the family tree of the Li family hangs on the wall of the main hall.
When the three of them walked through the front yard and arrived in front of the ancestral hall in the backyard, a strange feeling came from the depths of Li Mu's heart. He stared at the blue brick ancestral hall with overhanging eaves in front of him, slowly stretched out his palms, and grasped the palms of his hands.
There are faint runes flashing.
The next moment, there was a commotion in the ancestral hall, the door lock automatically opened, and a mud tire walked out from inside.
