"Master, everything is ready. Would you like to see it again?"
"No," Li Jinrong seemed to always be in a hurry. She bowed her head and waved her hand, then asked: "Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Wang still didn't reply?"
The female disciple who worked for her said eloquently: "Not yet, this time Beigou has moved really, and all of us in the north have disconnected from Zhaili. Mrs. Wang and Lao will have no choice but to think about it for a while. Who is our Mrs. Wang? Even if her old man encounters the Beidou head-on, the Beiguo should give way. Don't worry."
Li Jinrong ignored the relief, because in her opinion, "relief" is also a kind of nonsense, and she still frowned and asked: "Where did Maggie and their last letter say?"
The female disciple watched her words and expressions, hurriedly swallowed the extra words, and said: "Last time I wrote a letter to report, it seems that I just left Shu, Sister Li went out for the first time, she was a bit naughty..."
"Return a letter to them, let Li Yan be honest. It’s not as good as at home. You don’t need to indulge in her. You can beat or scold if you should be beaten." Li Jinrong rubbed her eyebrows, and wondered if she had anything left. Omission, while absent-mindedly said, "You go to work first, tomorrow we will leave early in the morning, and have dinner to call the elders from Gezhai to come to me."
The female disciple didn't dare to interrupt her, so she replied and quit.
Li Jinrong let out a long sigh. She remembered that when she was seventeen, she took a knife and a few people with her. She dared to go north alone, and left as soon as she came back. When she came back, she almost ran out of travel expenses. After a few years in a hurry, she became more and more burdened, and a trip was almost like moving a mountain.
Everything at home and outside must be explained clearly, and the carts and horses and manpower with him alone have hesitated for several days. She is such a refreshing person, she has been dragged into a helpless chronic child by her fellow industry.
Li Jinrong walked into her small study and buckled the door carefully.
Most of the things left by Zhou Yitang are in the study room. The study room and books are still in place and have not been moved. There is a large row of bookshelves in the corner, which are lined with the Four Books, Five Classics and various classics. If you look at this shelf of books After a thorough examination, it is probably enough to test a title. However, since Zhou Yitang left, no one cares about these books, and has received a layer of dust.
Li Jinrong handed out a copy of "University" and shook off the dust on it. After opening it, she saw that there were more comments written in the familiar handwriting on it than in the main text. A nerdy breath came along with the tide. Can't help but click, gently put it aside, take off the bookshelves in the middle of the bookshelf one by one, reach out and touch on the wooden shelf, then click and click, and Li Jinrong takes it off. A wooden board.
There is a dense grid behind the wooden board against the wall, which contains an ordinary small wooden box.
I don’t know how many years have passed since I took it out, the small box is almost about to take root in the wall.
Li Jinrong was not too dirty. She rolled up her sleeves and took out the wooden box. She checked with an exception. She was quite satisfied—this was enough to make Yu Lao jump and howl. The rotten box was just There is some mold in the corners, and no mushrooms have grown. According to Li Jinrong's standards, it is already well preserved.
The iron shaft of the wooden box has been rusted out. As soon as the lid was opened, it "crunched" with a musty smell.
Unexpectedly, the box that was collected by the head of Li Dafei Zhouzhang was not a treasure or a secret book, but a pile of miscellaneous things.
On the top is a jacket of faded floral fabric. The shoulders are a little narrow and the size is not big. Only a 13 or 14-year-old girl can wear it in. Li Jinrong reached out and stroked the layers on top. The pleats, this dress has been left for too long, and it feels damp and sticky to the touch. The pleats have become part of the clothes, and they cannot be removed like stitches.
Li Jinrong tilted his head to look at it for a moment, and the memory of many years of dust filled his heart——
"Snowbreaker, I don't have a place..." The girl rushed in the door recklessly, and then paused, "Father, what are you doing?"
The legendary Nandao pointed his finger without raising the head, and the thread on the tail of the needle was immediately broken cleanly. He picked up his "masterpiece" for a moment and looked at it for a while, as if he was very satisfied, raised his hand to the girl. Throw it away: "Next."
Girls’ Generation Li Jinrong didn’t dare to be careless. Even though it was a piece of cloth that her father threw over, she took two steps back cautiously before adjusting her posture and copying her hand to catch it. What Li Zheng threw over was a very lively piece. The floral jacket is skillfully tailored and the stitches are very neat. Although the craftsmanship is not very good, it is considered very decent. Whether it is the color, style or size, it can be seen that it is for her.
Li Jinrong was stunned, and then his face blushed. She felt that she was a big girl. She always felt a little embarrassing to let Dad sew clothes, so she said angrily: "Why are you... I want to wear new clothes," Can't you do it yourself?"
"Your sleeves are almost as short as your elbows, and I haven't seen you make one." Li Zhengbai glanced at her, babbling and saying, "Little girl's house, you are the only one who is so careless and powerful. I really don’t know who I’m like, and whom I can live with in the future? Hey, go back and try the clothes. I’ll change them for you if they don’t fit. Jinrong, dad tell you..."
Behind is the endless long talk. Li Jinrong put down his old clothes and couldn't help but show a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
No matter which version of the Nandao legend spread out, in Li Jinrong’s memory, Li Zheng is always an unhurried, nagging "strange man"—usually nagging her. Because the younger brother had a better temper than her, he listened carefully to everything he said.
Li Jinrong always suspected that Li Zheng sometimes had nothing to do with her and chattered on purpose. Every time she said that she flew into a rage, his old man seemed to have accomplished some great achievement, and floated away happily.
It happened that when she was young, she always did what he wanted.
At this point, Li Jinrong felt that Zhou Fei was actually not like her. Although Zhou Fei was a wild girl who didn't like to care about people most of the time, her mind was heavier than when she was young. What did Zhou Fei see and what was in her heart? No matter how she thought, she was reluctant to speak out. Apart from the fact that she was "gentle and polite" she didn't learn, her temperament was more like Zhou Yitang.
Although Li Jinrong rarely gives face-to-face affirmation to juniors, she feels that whether it is Li Sheng's smoothness or Zhou Fei's sharpness, it is much better than Li Zheng's spoiled self-although Neither of them seem to have the surname Li for their talents in martial arts.
However, even if Wu Wu is second, how far a person can go is sometimes determined by something other than martial arts.
Li Jinrong couldn’t help but walked away for a while. I don’t know where Zhou Fei and Li Sheng are now. They are playing crazy all the way and no one cares. The little effort that finally gets into their heads can’t be eaten. have eaten.
Li Jinrong shook his head, put aside the old things and chaotic thoughts, and took out a gold bracelet from under the box.
It was a very concise opening bracelet, with no extra patterns, and the size of a half-old child. Li Jinrong looked serious and fumbled around the inner ring of the bracelet. Finally, she felt a bump near the opening. She was right. After looking at the light carefully for a while, I saw a water ripple picture engraved there.
Li Jinrong squinted, took out a letter from her body, and hurriedly flipped it to the place where it was signed—there was also a mark, exactly like the ripples on her bracelet.
This letter was very scribbled, as if it was written in a hurry, only a place name was written, and then it was stated that "the accident that the old village master encountered may have other secrets", and there is nothing else.
This time, Li Jinrong finally decided to leave Shuzhong. Except for the recent unprovoked disconnection of several hidden stakes in the Forty-eight Village in the north, which forced her to deal with it, other reasons fell on this letter.
Li Zheng had only given her such a bracelet since she was a child. Later, when she saw that she didn’t like it, he never bought a second one. This is an ordinary gold bracelet. Although it is worth some money, it’s not counted. Very precious, nothing special.
If it wasn't for Li Zheng's last words.
His last sentence for her to hear clearly is: "Daddy will keep the bracelet for you."
There was a vague sentence behind "Don't inquire...".
But don't inquire about anything? He never had a chance to make it clear again.
What does the water ripple pattern on the bracelet represent?
Why is there an exact stamp on that letter?
The person who wrote this letter is precisely an elder she once trusted very much, and when this person couldn't find a way to contact Forty Eight Villages, he entrusted Zhou Yitang to pass it on.
Forty Eight Village is a paradise independent of the world, and it is also a miracle.
This miracle is achieved by its completely broken sect view inside and the extreme isolation from the outside. The two are indispensable. Li Jinrong has been in charge of Forty-eight Village for many years. She knows this too well. She has been struggling to maintain this balance for many years. Tired of whitewashing the peace in this corner of Shuzhong, the words "no relatives and no reason" have been basically achieved, but there are still some people who can't ignore it.
Whether it is the fateful acquaintance of the old village owner, or the father of her daughter.
After receiving this mysterious letter, Li Jinrong immediately received news of a series of accidents in the northern secret pile of Forty-eight Village, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.
When she decided to take a trip in person, she sent letters to Mrs. Wang and Zhou Yitang, asking Mrs. Wang to detour to the south as soon as possible. For the sake of safety, she can temporarily entrust those cumbersome young people. He wrote to Zhou Yitang, and then wrote a letter to Zhou Yitang, expressing in a code word that only the two of them understood, "I will leave Shuzhong soon, and I may see him after finishing some things."
Li Jinrong can’t just pack two changes and go away like Zhou Fei. Forty-eight villages, big and small, she has to explain the arrangements from top to bottom. This way, from the decision to the beginning of preparations It dragged on for a few months.
What made her feel even more disturbed was that neither Zhou Yitang nor Madam Wang had replied to her in these two months.
Communications in the north are blocked, and Mrs. Wang's correspondence is slower and normal. But what's going on with Zhou Yitang?
If something really happened to him, it is impossible to hide it, it is only possible that the delivery route is blocked... Is there a ghost in the south after the secret pile in the north?
With this thought, Li Jinrong hasn't had a good night's sleep. While putting countless eyeliners in the Forty-Eight Village, she was still worried. She temporarily found a group of trusted henchmen and sent Li Yan away.
In the late autumn of the twenty-first year of Jianyuan, the situation between the north and the south has stabilized for a period of time. With the frequent movements of the Beidou southward, it began to become dark and unclear. The southern half of the country followed the strong hand of the Jianyuan Emperor. With the accumulation of the army, the soldiers, officials, taxation, land, business, etc., completed the old and renovated, which indirectly killed the emperor’s life in the past, like scraping the bones and treating poison... But most of the people in the rivers and lakes do not produce, these things No one cares.
What they are concerned about is that Huojiabao was overthrown; after 20 years of grievances, Beidou still did not pay attention to the declining martial arts of the Central Plains, and became more and more presumptuous; after Huo Liantao fled south, he began to win over all parties. The forces, under the names of "family country" and "righteousness", have the meaning of gathering another hero meeting; under Hengshan, the descendant of Nandao turned out to be born and killed the head of the four sages, except for the Vermillion Bird who rebelled against the four sages. In addition to the master Mu Xiaoqiao, the living and dead people on the other two hills have expressed their revenge; the recently famous owner of Qingyungou originally claimed that he wanted to pick the Central Plains with a knife, but unexpectedly was also in the new "Nandao" "The subordinates are reluctant to lose, and the stunned young man in the barren land is not too embarrassed, and openly announced the result. Now the black and white of the southern dynasty are looking for this fascinating junior... and Li Jinrong, the head of the Forty-eight Village, quietly left Zhaizhong was caught in this turmoil.
What Li Jinrong didn't expect was that when she had just left Forty Eight Village, the person she arranged to leave before she left was walking back.
Although Ma Jili was responsible for transporting Li Yan this troublesome spirit to Jinling, after listening to the original narratives of Zhou Fei and Wu Chuchu along the way, he had to change his course and turn back to Shu Zhong... especially the troublemaker Yang Hei. After Tan had publicized his defeat without disgrace, Zhou Fei was even more on the cusp of the storm.
Although Li Yan was interrupted midway when she went out for the first time, she had no objection at all. After hearing about Yueyang Huarong, the elders looked heavy, and Li Yan cried without any scruples, yes. The eager expectation of this river and lake disappeared in the news of Brother Chenfei's death.
Ma Jili ordered someone to send a letter to Li Jinrong, and quickly prepared the carts and horses, pretending to be low-key and heading to the middle of Shu.
With his own family leading the way, the remaining section of the road is much smoother, and you can connect with the hidden piles of Forty-eight Villages everywhere. Zhou Fei also learned from the side how much trouble he caused. It is rare to be honest. stand up.
In a blink of an eye, it was approaching the middle of Shu, and the excitement that was drifting away in the chaotic world gradually came upon him. Magili asked them to rest for a night, and the letter was to be delivered the next day, and they formally entered the Forty-eight Village.
