"Little brat, you want a wife at such a young age." Luo Li pinched a child's face, put down the bowl, and then wiped his mouth gracefully.
"Brother, I'm full." After saying that, he walked out.
Luo Ning crunched a pickled radish and asked vaguely: "What to do?"
The little girl made a horn gesture on her head with both hands and said "moo", "I'm going to see my old cockroach and feed it some grass."
Lao Jianxi was named by Luo Ning based on an allusion, which came from "Mencius - King Hui of Liang".
Luo Ning swallowed the food in his mouth and looked a little weird, "It's too bland. Only this radish is a bit salty."
As soon as these words came out, the hostess suddenly became unhappy.
She immediately raised her eyebrows as black as crow feathers, her face filled with dissatisfaction and inexplicable surprise:
"What? Where is the only salty taste of pickled radish? I can't bear to give up salt! Am I stingy? It's really...guest, you have such a strong taste."
After saying that, he stood up angrily and put away the dishes and chopsticks, causing the pots and pans to clink.
"Don't blame the guests." The old master smiled, slowly lit up a pot of dry smoke, ignored his grandson-in-law, and puffed away in silence and deepness.
The male host wielded an ax and chopped firewood in the courtyard while saying casually: "My dear, don't be rude to your guests."
Luo Li became worried.
Has my brother begun to lose his sense of tongue (taste)?
Luo Ning gave Luo Li a wink and said, "I'm fine. I have to tell you that the old cow won't live for a year and will be at the end of his life. Don't feel sad when the time comes."
When the old master heard this, he blew out a puff of dry smoke and said, "The animals... are pitiful. The girl is a kind-hearted person and will be rewarded with good fortune."
Luo Li returned to the rice pounding yard and fed the old cows grass as soon as possible.
"Old man." The cardamom girl touched the horns of the cow affectionately and patted the skinny cow's back, "You have made a great contribution today."
"Brother said you won't live for a year, I know."
"I will definitely try to extend your life. Those monsters live for so long and cause harm to people. You are my old man, why should you die?"
"Moo..." Lao Niu licked Luo Li's hand, his eyes moist.
The little black wilted man squatted nearby, wagging his tail feebly and looking at Luo Li pitifully.
Luo Li's eyes curled up when he saw this, and he chuckled at Xiao Hei: "What are you looking at? Are you jealous? You have fallen out of favor."
"Wow wow!" Xiao Hei Nai screamed twice, then ran out of the rice pounding yard on her short legs to find Luo Ning.
It ran to the farmhouse next door and sat at the feet of the young man in green.
Luo Ning reached out to touch Xiao Hei and wiped the oil stains from his mouth on the dog's hair.
Alas, there are no napkins in this world, so I’m not used to it.
After he began to lose his sense of smell, Luo Ning knew that he had also begun to lose his sense of taste.
Fortunately, there is still some ghost bait fruit, which can somewhat slow down the loss of five senses.
He ignored these troubles for the time being and turned to his old master and said, "Dad, how are you doing now?"
In fact, this is nonsense. You can tell whether it is good or bad at a glance, so why ask more?
The old master sighed, with a look of sorrow on every wrinkle on his face, "What's better? You have traveled around the world and are well-informed. You should know that the world is getting more and more uneven."
He blew out a puff of dry smoke, and the smoke lingered like a dream in the moonlight.
"The old man is seventy this year. He has only been to the county seat as far as he can, but he has lived a long time and knows a little about what happened back then."
"Speaking of it, life has become more and more miserable in the past few decades. The towns are still very glamorous, but life in the countryside is even harder."
"When I was young, Emperor Shenzong was still on the throne. At that time, taxes were only half of what they are now. There were not as many natural disasters as there are now. One acre of land could yield two and a half stones. Although there were monsters, bandits and water thieves who caused trouble, the government still took care of it."
"At that time, life was pretty good."
Luo Ning listened to the old man's words and looked at the moon with quiet eyes, faint light flashing.
"But today..." the old master shook his head, "not to mention the doubling of taxes, natural and man-made disasters are also constant. There are more and more demons, ghosts, bandits and water thieves, but the government... is too lazy to take care of it."
"Just asking for rain, not to mention the city god and the river god, the county magistrate just issued a notice to pray for rain. It's all down to the mercy of God."
When the old man said this, his tone became mysterious:
"Some people say that there are many natural disasters and man-made disasters. It is because God is angry and the king of heaven is angry. If the loopholes cannot be plugged, big things will happen in the future."
"Some people say that it is the ancient tripod that is causing trouble! In Yizhou, we don't know where in the mountains and rivers, there is a great evil weapon like the Liangzhou tripod hidden."
"The nine-cauldron weapon... is the nine bottomless pits. It swallows energy and life without mercy. How can the country's destiny be good? Can the world be corrupted?"
Luo Ning did not refute the old man's words, and also knew that the terrifying legend about Jiuding had already taken root among the people.
It’s ridiculous to think about it. The fault should be placed on Jiuding, the imperial court, the emperor, and all the officials, right?
This kind of horrific legend was obviously deliberately fabricated and fabricated.
And it has been a long time, and it has become the so-called "old story passed down from generation to generation".
The problem is that the emperor and the court officials knew that the legend was false, but had no intention of clarifying it.
In fact, it is easy to understand.
Because there was no Jiuding in the Great Xia Dynasty.
It is precisely because there is no Jiuding that Jiuding is stigmatized by horrific legends and the truth is not clarified. Otherwise, the destiny of the Great Xia Dynasty will be questioned.
Another advantage is that the "murderous weapon" of Jiuding can take the blame and alleviate the people's dissatisfaction with officials, the court, and the emperor.
Luo Ning thought of the map of the Liangzhou Ding Hidden Ding, and couldn't help but feel strong expectations.
The late emperor asked Lu Zhi to search for the whereabouts of Jiuding. Of course Jiuding was important.
If Lu Zhi's picture is true, then the big secret of Liangzhou Ding is in his hands!
What is the use of Jiuding? Is it really related to the destiny of China?
…
Luo Ning returned to the rice pounding yard, and Luo Li was picking up the soles of his shoes.
She stood in front of the oil lamp, concentrating on every stitch, leaving a moving figure under the wall.
"Li'er, don't accept it." Luo Ning patted her head lovingly, "Doing sex under the lamp will hurt your eyes. Don't become myopic."
Luo Li smiled and raised his angry little face, "Brother, what is myopia?"
Seeing Luo Ning shaking his head and not answering, he said with a smile: "When brother finds me a sister-in-law, I won't give him shoes to wash."
"If my brother doesn't marry my sister-in-law, I will carry your brother's shoes and wash them for the rest of my life."
Luo Ning also smiled, "If you say so, then for the sake of ease and trouble for my sister, I will find you a sister-in-law as soon as possible."
The cardamom girl lowered her head and became silent.
After a while, Luo Li suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with tears: "Brother, how do you think my mother is doing now?"
Since her mother disappeared, she misses her every day.
A beautiful and gentle face appeared in front of Luo Ning's eyes, as if he was standing at the door of Chaifei looking at him.
Mother…
The original owner's emotional traces are very heavy. Even if Luo Ning is a time traveler, he will still miss his mother Tang Wan.
Who was she taken away by? Her family?
Tang Family... The most famous Tang Family in Yizhou is the Tang Clan in Sichuan. The number one poisonous Taoist family in Daxia is an ancient family in Yizhou that is as famous as the Su Family.
There are very few people with the surname Tang in Yizhou. Keloning doesn't think that Tang Wan's natal family is related to the Tang clan in Sichuan.
"Don't worry, Li'er." Luo Ning comforted her sister, "The person who took my mother away should be her relatives, friends and old friends. We will definitely see each other again."
Luo Li nodded obediently, "Brother said, I won't worry anymore. If I think about it day and night, Brother will worry about me."
When she said this, her tone suddenly turned cold: "If anyone hurts my mother, I will make that person regret living in this world!"
"Also, one day, I must make Xue Bingyu regret for bullying my brother!"
Luo Ning was startled when he heard this, this is... my sister's oath.
