Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 3
"Harm, brother Xiang Ping."

Li Xiangping was walking back with a basket on his back, and a girl came from a distance. The girl had a round face and ordinary features, and her full smile added a lot of charm to her eyebrows and eyes.

"Sister Yun"

Li Xiangping looked at the girl with a smile, turned around and passed the basket of fish

"Look at the good fish I caught, you want to go back and try some of them."

"It can't be done."

Tian Yun smiled and lowered her head. The girl developed early. She is already taller than 13-year-old Li Xiangping this year.

A man and a woman in Lijing Village get married on the [-]th and [-]th. Among their peers, they are the only two of the most suitable age. The girl has already decided in her heart that the boy in front of her is her husband.

"No, take it!" Li Xiangping stuffed two fish into Tian Yun's hands, but Li Xiangping didn't think too much about it. Uncle Tian was the most kind person in the village and he liked it the most. When he met his daughter, he naturally wanted to take care of it.

After bidding farewell to Tian Yun, Li Xiangping hurried into the house and put the basket in the small pond.He thought for a while, took out the mirror, rubbed it on, stuffed it into his bosom, picked up the three wooden boxes on the table, and went to the field.

There, his two older brothers were working on the farm with his father.

The Li family has four brothers, namely Li Changhu, Li Tongya, Li Xiangping, and Li Chijing. In Lijing Village, when talking about the four brothers of the Li family, none of them would give a thumbs up. Tian Yun's father often talked about these four brothers. He said enviously: "Li Mutian is really lucky!"

The lucky Li Mutian didn't think so. As the only person in Lijing Village who had traveled far, Li Mutian was in great pain watching his children busy in the field.

"A good man should study and be a soldier, but he is a coward in the field!" He pointed at Uncle Tian and cursed.

But life is like this. Those who have seen the light will suffer. Li Mutian served in the army and killed people. When he was in his 40s, he returned to Lijing Village and used military pay to buy land and became a wealthy family. He was the most dissatisfied.

When Li Xiangping arrived at the field, his eldest brother Li Changhu was already waiting under the shade of the tree. He was the oldest, and at the age of 17, he already had a beard on his mouth.

"Third brother, walk slowly, don't rush."

Li Changhu smiled and touched Li Xiangping's head, looking at him gently.

"I heard from Uncle Tian that you gained a lot today."

"It's too much brother!" Li Xiangping laughed loudly, "It's a good meal tonight!"

"You."

Li Changhu wiped his sweat for him, picked up a wooden box and shouted to the field
"Second brother—"

"Come on!" Second brother Li Tongya walked quickly with a hoe in hand. He sat down and called Li Changhu "big brother" before looking at Li Xiangping with a smile.

"You guys eat, I'm going back." Li Xiangping was busy all morning, but he was so hungry that he hurried home.

----

When Lu Jiangxian was in Li Xiangping's basket, he felt a vague and inexplicable traction attracting him. As he got closer to Li's house, this feeling became stronger and stronger.

Passing the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, this attraction reached its peak when entering the village. Lu Jiangxian felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and the mirror in the basket trembled slightly, and there was a red light in the mirror.

"That's a part of me, or something that is crucial to me." Lu Jiangxian had a realization in his heart.

"To the north! The direction of the great lake!" As Li Xiangping slowly moved away from the entrance of the village, this attraction gradually disappeared, and Lu Jiangxian secretly remembered this direction in his heart.

After wandering around the village next to Li Xiangping, Lu Jiangxian can basically understand what everyone he sees is saying based on his own perception of psychological activities and observation of the target's actions and tone.

He found that this place seemed to be an ordinary small village, and there were no martial arts masters flying around the walls, nor did he see any immortal cultivators flying around.

People work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and the scale of the utensils and fields used is not unexpected.

"This place really seems to be an ordinary small village, and the best house is just a two-story civil structure house..." Lu Jiangxian thought, if there are immortal cultivators, no matter what, they will not live in a small earthen house Bar?
"A strong force will bring strong productivity. The small village in front of me is too backward."

He already had a rough idea in his mind, and gradually formed a framework for his future plans.

The Li family is extremely busy tonight, mother and two younger brothers are busy washing and cooking.

Li Xiangping returned with a full load, but his younger brother Li Chijing secretly caught a nest of fat field mice and stuffed them in a grain bag when he was picking mulberry and raising silkworms in the back mountain. His father, Li Mutian, patted the two young men on the shoulders and praised them. The tail is raised high.

At the age of fourteen or fifteen, when the body is growing, the few dishes on the table basically entered the stomachs of several people.

Li Mutian just tasted the chopsticks, his mother Liu Linyun also looked at the four brothers with a smile, only the big yellow dog was running around under the table anxiously, shuttling between the legs of the six.

After dinner.

The moon slowly climbed up Dali Mountain, Li Xiangping leaned against the corner of the wall with a long weed in his mouth, his father Li Mutian frowned and looked at the sky, as if he was looking for something.

"By the way, dad." Li Xiangping patted his father's trousers, and took out the mirror from his bosom.

"I picked up this thing in the river early in the morning."

"Hey." Li Mutian took Jianzi, squinted his eyes and looked over and over again.
"Not iron or copper, what good stuff?"

The cold moon slowly floated down in front of the house, as if it had come alive, it gathered little by little above the mirror, forming a faint halo. Li Xiangping couldn't help but rubbed his eyes, as if the most beautiful moonlight he had seen in 13 years was there A halo of the moon emerged.

"Father!" Li Xiangping called in a low voice.

"Shut up!" Li Mutian turned pale with fright, and forced himself to move his eyes away from the moon halo, his hands were trembling, he stuffed the mirror into Li Xiangping's arms, and whispered in his ear:
"Hide in and tell your brothers to take out the knife."

It was the first time that Li Xiangping saw such a fierce killing intent on his father's face, his eyes narrowed slightly, like an eagle ready to go.

"Yes…"

With a trembling voice and weak legs, he moved into the door little by little.

The night was fine, Li Xiangping pushed open the door.

"Brother... Father said to take the guy and go to the door."

Li Xiangping almost shouted, he whispered tremblingly to his two brothers leaning on the bedside.

"what?!"

Li Changhu stood up in shock, supported Li Xiangping with both hands, and looked at him with concern, "Is there something wrong with father? What's the matter?"

The second elder brother Li Tongya turned over and took out two knives from under the bed, took down the rattan clothes and long sticks hanging on the wall, looked out the window gloomyly, and said in a low voice:
"It must be an enemy coming to visit."

He handed over the long knife and rattan clothes, held the long stick in his hand, and patted Li Changhu.

"Brother, don't ask any more. Third brother, take your mother and fourth brother and hide in the backyard."

"it is good"

Li Xiangping hurriedly went to find his mother, Li Changhu also quickly calmed down, put on his rattan clothes, and walked towards the door with a knife in his hand.

outside the house.

Li Mutian was standing at the door, quietly looking at the melon field in front of the house, when the two teenagers stood behind him, he waved his hand and took the long knife.

"You two check the front and back of the house on the left and the right to make sure that there is no one around." The two quickly responded, and went to the left and right to investigate.

Li Mutian himself had walked to the melon field in front of the house, bent down and lifted a man out of the melon field.
