In a store like this, in order to separate the layout of the front store and the backyard, formation restrictions will be placed in each area. Therefore, Xiao Zhen, who is in the front store, has no idea what is happening in the backyard.
When he was still waiting in the shop for the leader of the Li family to appear, the scene in the backyard could be described as a drop of water being poured into a frying pan.
"What? Someone is coming from Taixuanmen?" A middle-aged man with a rough appearance and a broad frame poked his head out of the fire room.
Big beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. This man was Li Wulang, the contemporary head of the Li family, Li Jinliang.
"Well, he asked for you by name, Fifth Uncle!" The young man's name is Li Yingying, and he is also a weapon refiner. However, he has just started to learn the skills, and he can only help him. Since he has always been glib, Li Jinliang let him
He is mainly responsible for attracting customers at the front store.
"What was supposed to come has come." After hearing this, Li Jinliang couldn't help but hang his head.
This shop was originally the ancestral property of Taixuanmen, and the Li family just rented it for use. What's more, the rent they offered was extremely low, which was almost like giving it away for free. They had occupied it for decades, and they had already occupied it for decades.
It's time to be content.
Furthermore, they had also heard about the current situation of some other people in the past few years, and it was not necessarily better than theirs.
Ever since the Li family's elders in the foundation-building stage disappeared, their family has gone from bad to worse. Even if the clan has passed down some weapon-refining techniques, it has not brought them better benefits. Anyway, the business of the workshop they run is half dead.
No improvement at all.
If we are not optimistic, in another ten or eight years, the workshop will probably close down.
Rather than doing this, it is better to return the store to others and let them put an end to this thought.
Since then, the monks in their family have honestly made a living by hunting monsters, and maybe they can replenish some of their passionate ambitions that have disappeared for too long.
As early as two or three hundred years ago, the founder of their family made a living by doing this, thus establishing the family of casual cultivators and establishing some foundations. Later, some people in the family received the inheritance of weapon refining and passed down this skill.
, chose to be with the fire all day long, and lost the vigor of the past.
Thinking of this, the mist in Li Jinliang's eyes disappeared. He cleared his throat and ordered: "You go to the front and let the distinguished guests wait for a moment. I will put on some clothes and go over."
Although the Li family has become an ordinary family of casual cultivators and is not very particular. However, meeting people in his current appearance is not the way to treat guests.
While Li Jinliang was talking, a little girl with two braids on her head moved secretly, as if she was heading towards the store in front.
She is Li Jinliang's five-year-old daughter, Li Yingxia.
When no one was paying attention, she took a fire stick by the door and sneaked into the front store alone.
She immediately saw Xiao Zhen standing in the store, his big eyes full of hatred.
From the horrified reaction of her family just now, she immediately regarded Xiao Zhen as a bad person, thinking that the other party must be coming to bully them.
She hid the fire stick behind her and stood on tiptoes to get closer, trying not to make any noise.
After she got closer, she suddenly raised the fire stick and smashed it against Xiao Zhen's thigh.
Unexpectedly, she missed the opportunity and fell directly to the ground with her stick and body.
This fall caused her nose to be bruised and her face to be swollen, and bloodshot eyes instantly oozed from her cheeks. It was obvious that she was half dead in pain, and tears were rolling in her eyes, but she still gritted her teeth and did not say a word.
She looked up and looked to the side and found the other person standing aside, staring at her curiously.
So, she quickly got up and greeted the other person again.
"stop."
At this moment, Li Yingying, who was not far away, shouted loudly and stopped Li Yingxia on the spot.
"Yingxia, what are you doing?" Thinking of the scene just now, Li Yingying broke into a cold sweat on his back.
He never expected that little Yingxia, who was only five years old, would do such a shocking thing.
If he read correctly, the person standing in front of her was in the late stage of Qi refining. Even he himself might not be able to catch the opponent's moves. She, a child who had not yet stepped into the door of cultivation, could actually do it.
Dare to use a wooden stick to commit murder.
On weekdays, it's okay for her to be lawless, and her family would at most regard her as a fool and have a childish temperament, so they wouldn't really blame her.
I never thought that she had the courage to be rude to outsiders.
If the other party really takes it seriously and just gives it to her, she will still be alive.
"He is a bad guy and I want to beat him up."
Seeing Li Yingying's serious expression, Li Yingxia was not afraid at all and said confidently.
"Nonsense, come here."
Li Jinliang arrived late. He just went back to get a coat and put it on. He didn't expect that there was something wrong with the front store.
When he looked at the scene in front of him, he didn't know what was happening.
Li Yingxia originally pouted and didn't think she had done anything wrong. However, when she saw her father's angry expression, she immediately stopped.
No matter how unhappy she was, she could only reluctantly walk back.
When she got closer, Li Jinliang swept his sleeve forward, then slapped her away and hit her directly to the ground.
"You are becoming more and more outrageous. You should be put in solitary confinement for a month. You are not allowed to step out of the room without my permission."
This time, Li Jinliang was really angry. Li Yingxia was slapped by him and spun around on the ground for several times. The pain made her sweat on her forehead and her little face became ashen.
Although Li Jinliang loved his children, he did not show it.
Then, he threw the child to Li Yingying, then came over respectfully, apologized to Xiao Zhen, and said: "I'm really sorry, the child is ignorant and bumped into the distinguished guest. You have a lot of money, don't talk to her."
As a general rule, if I teach my child poorly, I will punish her. If your guest is dissatisfied with anything, I will apologize to you."
"It's okay, it's just a kid playing around," Xiao Zhen replied.
At this time, he glanced across and found that the little girl had a red mole as big as a mung bean between her eyebrows, which added a touch of heroic spirit out of thin air.
Originally, Xiao Yingxia was still holding her breath in her heart. Even if she was scolded by her father, she would not be moved. However, when she saw her father apologizing to the visitor with an apologetic look on his face, she burst out crying "Wow"
.
"Take her down here." Li Jinliang glared at her and asked Li Yingying to take her away.
After the two of them left, Xiao Zhen and Li Jinliang were the only ones left in the store.
"It's really valuable to know how to protect your family at such a young age." Xiao Zhen watched the little girl being roughly taken away, feeling quite moved in his heart, and said:
"I just want to ask you why you are so hostile to me?"
"Hey, haven't you asked for advice yet?" Li Jinliang casually said haha and took the initiative to change the subject.
Xiao Zhen smiled and put this incident behind him. It was more important to talk about business.
"I, Xiao Zhen, am in charge of the Taixuan Sect."
"It turns out to be Master Xiao. I'm glad to meet you. I'm Li Jinliang, from the Li family in Fenglai Mountain."
