New and dark light years

Chapter 17 A bright future
Huang Ling frowned, thought for a moment, took another sip of tea, and said in a cold tone, "This Li Xunshu, although he is handsome and has an imposing bearing, I don't think much of him."

"Why?" Huang Qi asked in confusion, "He has both good looks and skills. Although a spirit hunter isn't considered an official, he'll definitely be a capable figure once he grows up. According to Patrol Officer Su, Brother Kunge is the most talented spirit hunter in Yulin County, bar none."

"He... has no intention of entering Jin!" Huang Ling explained, "If he had, he would have accepted your invitation and gone to Jincheng to get his own 'opportunity'. But he didn't, and he even used some crooked logic to fool people. I don't like it."

Huang Yan subconsciously stroked his beard, looking a little anxious.

Huang Qi asked in confusion, "Second sister, do you hope that Brother Kunge will become the highest official in the country?"

"That's not necessary." Huang Ling thought for a moment and said, "I just don't like a life without fun. He doesn't like to make progress. The only step he can reach in the future is to sit in a corner and protect the people of a town or a county. He will be trapped there for the rest of his life. I don't want to live like that. It's no different from a cage."

Both Huang and his son were silent.

Although Huang Ling's words seemed ambitious and restless, it could not be said that she was wrong.

It is natural for a woman to want to marry a better husband.

At this time, 'Hu Ji' beside her spoke up: "But I think that this kind of person is a good match. Second sister, you really should consider it carefully."

Huang Ling looked at her eldest sister and sighed, "Sister, he has no ambition. He may never leave Tianjin and will never become rich."

"It's pretty good. Life is stable and I don't have to wander around."

"He must be a dull person, not good at romantic things."

"You can do it, so just teach him."

"Sister, why do you always contradict me?" Huang Ling said anxiously, "Anyway, I don't want to marry him. I want to marry you."

Hu Ji was stunned for a moment, then said with a bit of disappointment, "I'm doing this for your own good..."

Huang Ling immediately realized that her words had been too harsh. She quickly grabbed Hu Ji's hand and said, "Sister, I was wrong. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get over it, okay?"

Hu Ji nodded slightly.

At this time, Huang Yan said, "Your mother is preparing dinner, go and help."

The two girls knew that the man had something important to discuss, so they left hand in hand.

Huang Yan drank his tea and said, "I've had someone investigate recently. This Li Xunshou is a good man with a good character. He has never abused his power to bully others, nor has he sought pleasure in brothels. He is a rare talent among the spirit hunters, and is more than a match for your second sister."

Huang Qi smiled and said, "Indeed, I discovered that he was an upright person half a year ago."

Huang Yan sighed and said, "Especially his comments on the word 'virtue' just now. It reveals the essence of why the Master, with his three thousand disciples, traveled through the seven kingdoms and was welcomed as guests of honor everywhere."

Huang Qi smiled bitterly: "Just saying this makes me feel a little broken. It's a pity that my second sister made a mistake. The prejudice is deep. I don't think the two of them will be destined to be together again."

Huang Yan sneered and said, "Women are like this, long on hair but short on knowledge."

Huang Qi's expression was a little bit difficult to break: "Father, how can you talk about your own daughter like that?"

"That's right." Huang Yan snorted. "I hired someone to teach her how to read and reason, but she's full of cleverness, but she only knows how to read books, but can't see through the world. She's stupid and unaware, and she's quite proud. It makes me angry just looking at her."

"Then go teach her."

Huang Yan said dissatisfiedly: "If I dare to scold her, your mother will rush over and fight me. Can you save me then?"

Huang Qi suddenly looked helpless.

The Huang family...the eldest lady is the one who calls the shots.

But then Huang Yan stroked his beard and smiled smugly: "Son, let me tell you something. The relationship between our Huang family and Li Xunshou may not be severed just like that."

"Huh?" Huang Qi looked at his father in confusion.

"I just returned home with Li Xunshou and happened to run into your eldest sister." Huang Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "He looked very strange at the time, just like the way he looked when I first met your mother."

"What does it look like?"

"Their eyes lit up."

Huang Qi was quite surprised. "Brother Kunge, do you like my eldest sister's appearance?" "Very likely!" Huang Yan couldn't help but clap his hands. "My eldest sister's marriage has always been a thorn in the heart of your mother and me. She is already nineteen years old and still can't find a good match. If she continues to wait until she becomes an old maid, no one will want her. But looking at Li Xunshou's appearance just now, I think there is a chance."

"Then I will find opportunities to invite Brother Kunge to visit my home more often."

"As it should be."

…………

On the other side, Li Lin bought two red cherry guns in the blacksmith shop in the market, then went to the grocery store to buy more than a dozen common elixirs, some oil and salt, and then returned to the village.

His strength has increased recently, and his walking speed is much faster than before. He returned to the village entrance before dawn.

Then I saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the village.

Looking more closely, they were divided into two groups and were swearing at each other.

He walked over carrying a heavy cloth bag.

The villagers also noticed him and looked over.

Zhao Xiaohu ran over first, his eyes wide as bells, his bearded face fuming with anger: "Brother Lin, there are thieves trying to occupy your house."

Ok?
Li Lin looked at the group of outsiders. There were seven of them: two old men, four young people, and a middle-aged woman.

"Zhao Xiaohu, who wants to occupy someone else's house? We are just taking back our old house."

A young man came over and started yelling, his attitude seemed a bit arrogant.

Li Lin put down the bag and asked, "Who are you?"

"We are also from Shangtikou Village. Is it not possible for us to come back and live here now?" said the young man with his neck stiff.

Li Lin looked at Zhao Xiaohu: "Really?"

"Well, they used to be..." Zhao Xiaohu said angrily, "But they moved away, four years ago. Now that they heard that Yougui was destroyed by you, Brother Lin, they have the audacity to run back. They have no shame at all."

In fact, in Li Lin's opinion, this is nothing.

After all, a gentleman does not stand in danger. It is normal for him to run away when there were ghosts causing trouble outside the village before.

If it were his turn, he would run away too.

However, he still felt that these people were a little strange.

Normal villagers would all be terrified when seeing the spirit hunters, but these people seemed to be very aggressive.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

He wanted to calm down first and see the situation to see if there was any trap.

Li Lin smiled and said, "Since you were from Shangtikou Village before, there's no problem with you coming back. With more people, our Shangtikou Village will be more prosperous."

Zhao Xiaohu said angrily: "But they want to take back the old house, the one you live in now, Brother Lin."

Oh!
It turned out to be the case.

Li Lin continued to smile with narrowed eyes: "Do you have the title deed?"

"No, we don't have any land deeds in our small village." A middle-aged man came over and said, "But our ancestors have lived here, and others can testify to this."

Zhao Xiaohu had an ugly expression and was speechless.

Li Lin understood. He nodded and said, "In that case, I'll move to another place. There are still many empty houses in the village. But you should give me a few more days so that I have enough time to sort out the furniture and miscellaneous items in the house."

"Okay." The middle-aged man agreed: "In five days, our family will move back."
