Bandit Reborn

These people came to hunt, rather than to go for an autumn outing. They couldn’t walk or run. Everyone pretended to be carrying a big bow, but no one had actually pulled it. They did nothing all afternoon except recite sour poems.

Li Huaixi figured out why some servants were qualified to ride horses, while others could only run on the ground.These horse-riding servants are not ordinary servants, but the housekeepers of rich families. These are the ones who really come to hunt. All of them are good players. They run fast in the dense forest, and they all have martial arts.

Li Huaixi struggled to keep up with those nursing homes, but Lin Yichen always hooped him, preventing him from climbing trees or running fast, which was more annoying than the old lady, "If something happens to you, I can't talk to your parents Tell me, you better be honest." Lin Yichen kept saying this.

Li Huaixi was so angry that he tapped the long bow on Lin Yichen's back with his small crossbow, "You might as well wear a flower, it's more beautiful than this! Didn't you say you came to hunt? You can shoot a sparrow, I can do it too." Express my admiration for you, you haven't even touched your bow for so long, magistrate!"

Lin Yichen was also very angry, "How can I take you hunting? I regret it to death. I should have listened to your father at that time. You are a trouble!"

"Yo? You plan to rely on me for everything, do you still want to say that you let me make a fuss in the morning, so you don't have the energy to draw the bow in the afternoon? Let me tell you, I... woo!" Li Huaixi's mouth was covered Lin Yichen looked up nervously, but luckily those autumn outings and hunters had gone away, and there were only the two of them around.

"I warn you, don't talk nonsense, or I will beat you! It was an accident, I repeat, it was an accident!" Lin Yichen raised his fist and broke a branch to scare Li Huaixi.

"Don't scare me. If you have the guts, let's compete. I won't bully you at sunset. I won't bully you. I'll count every squirrel you shoot. How about it? Do you want to compare?" Li Huaixi weighed himself said the little crossbow.

Lin Yichen laughed angrily, untied the bow behind his back and said, "It's a deal, I don't care about you from now on, and you don't do dangerous things to disturb me. The distance between us can't exceed fifty paces. If you want Stay within my sight and don't run around."

"It's a deal!" Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen clapped their hands together, and they turned around, away from the brigade, and headed in another direction. A few servants still followed them far away without making a sound, they were very well-trained .

Although Lin Yichen is not a master of martial arts, he is better than ordinary scholars. At least he can draw his bow well, and his aim is good. The ecology in the mountains is good. The two of them have already hunted a lot of pheasants, rabbits and the like. The two of them don't need to collect it by themselves, the servants behind will come and collect it. Lin Yichen specially instructed to separate the prey. So far, the two of them are on par.

There was a distance between Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen, the sun was already westward, and he wanted to decide the outcome.There is a group of sika deer in the dense forest ahead. This kind of animal is ready to escape at any time when it is eating grass.

Lin Yichen also found this group of deer, but instead of shooting the deer, he approached Li Huaixi lightly, as annoying as a mosquito, "Actually, you don't need a cat waist at all, and you can't see you at the height of a deer."

Li Huaixi glared at him, slowed his breathing, and slowly aimed the crossbow at a young stag. This deer had the most beautiful antlers. Li Huaixi planned to go back and hang it on the wall as an ornament.

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the stag ran for a short distance with two arrows before falling down. Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen didn't care about the deer, and they quarreled again.It turned out that Lin Yichen also took a fancy to this deer just now. His angle was not good, so he got close to Li Huaixi. When Li Huaixi shot out his crossbow arrows, his bow was also stringed, and both arrows hit the target. , and they were all shot in the heart. It is really uncertain who will die, and the sun has already started to set at this time.

"I don't have the same knowledge as you. Seeing how happy you are, I know that I have never hunted such a big thing. This is only for you. I admit defeat." Holding the crossbow, Li Huaixi proudly announced that he had never hunted it before. With such a big prey, there was nothing in the mountains in his previous life, and he had only seen this kind of sika deer in the breeding farm, but in this kind of situation where there is no winner, whoever stands out first is the winner, so he would rather not have that kind of deer. Nice antlers too.

"Such a big thing? I'm afraid you don't even know what it is. The county magistrate will tell you mercifully, this is a deer, a sika deer, remember, three inches!" Lin Yichen stood up and replied more proudly , In fact, I regret that I was a step late when I spoke.

After a while, the servants carrying the things came over. Two male servants in their twenties tied up the stag's four hooves, and cut a thick piece of wood through the middle. The sika deer, which was nearly two hundred catties, was lifted When he got up, the two servants carried it up and complimented his young master, saying that Lin Yichen was like a hero shooting the eagles.

Li Huaixi curled his lips at Lin Yichen, and raised the crossbow arrow he had just pulled out, which was still stained with blood; Lin Yichen also curled his lips at him, pointing to the bow behind him, the two of them each hummed, and took three big steps away from each other in tacit understanding.

The dinner that night was roasted venison. Although Li Huaixi is a deer killer, he is not a person who can eat venison. He can't eat it after only a few bites. His stomach is too delicate. use.

Lin Yichen sent two servants down the mountain to find food for him. There was a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, so it was not difficult to find some rice and noodles.Li Huaixi was eating fruit while waiting for his steamed buns. He was a little homesick. His grandma at home didn’t know if he made small balls. He probably didn’t make them when he was not at home, but no matter what grandma did, it must be better than this. Venison that cannot be bitten is strong.

Lin Yichen was afraid that he would be hungry, so he grilled some deer liver and fed it to him. Li Huaixi shook his head and said that he would not eat it. In the end, the gentle scum pinched his chin and fed it to him. He choked and rolled his eyes. This situation scared the culprit Lin Xian Officer, quickly poured him another glass of water.Li Huaixi squeezed his neck with one hand, and pointed at Lin Yichen with the other hand like a dead ghost. He ran to the riverside and vomited——Lin Yichen first fed him the deer liver with a strong smell, and then gave him another gulp. The cold spring water stimulated him twice, and he almost vomited out the gall.

Lin Yichen has no experience in taking care of children. He is the youngest young master in their family, and he stretches out his hands to eat and opens his mouth from a small coat, so he doesn't know how to take care of others at all. Li Huaixi was taken care of by him and almost died. Going down, after dark, Li Huaixi, who was empty and weak, got into Lin Yichen's tent.

These sons and young masters rarely come out, and they are all in high spirits, chewing venison, drinking fine wine, singing to the moon, crying ghosts and wolves!Li Huaixi covered his ears trying to fall asleep, but he couldn't sleep. He missed the smell of his grandma, the sound of his elder brother reading like a monk every night, his chubby kitten, and the chamber pot under the bed... It was dark outside, with all kinds of trees The postures of Shanshi at night are all kinds of strange, but none of them are friendly. It is much more terrifying than their hut, and he dare not go to their hut at night, because I heard that ghosts like to stay in dirty places Harmful.

After holding back for a while, Li Huaixi came out to look for Lin Yichen tremblingly, "Brother, I want to pee."

"If you want to pee, go pee." Lin Yichen didn't even turn his head, he was still eating and stuffing, but he had a good appetite.

"You go with me." Li Huaixi pulled him by the neck, imagining that he could lift him up directly.

Lin Yichen looked back at him, suddenly smiled, grabbed him into his arms and asked in a low voice, "Little thing, you dare to kill people or kill deer, but you are afraid of the dark! Isn't it? What are you afraid of? You are afraid of ghosts. Or are you afraid of monsters?"

"Why do you care what I'm afraid of? Hurry up and accompany me, or I'll piss all over you!" Li Huaixi was shivering from the cold just now, but now he just lay in the arms of the county magistrate and couldn't get up.

Lin Yichen laughed loudly, hugged him and stood up to pee, and the young masters laughed too. Li Huaixi buried his face on the county magistrate's shoulder and pretended to be dead. Anyway, as long as he can pee safely, otherwise they will laugh so hard tomorrow morning Even more, because he might wet the bed, a child's body, who knows.

Li Huaixi was afraid that Lin Yichen would do something bad, so he ran away halfway, so he grabbed Lin Yichen's clothes corner with one hand when he peed, which made Lin Yichen want to pee when he heard the sound of water, and the two solved their physiological problems together behind the big tree.

It was very cold in the mountains at night, Lin Yichen brought a special quilt, brocade quilt covered with a thick layer of cotton, inside made of fox fur, fluffy and soft, Li Huaixi rolled in it, as comfortable as a quilt Satisfied cat.

Lin Yichen also got in after wiping his hands and face. Li Huaixi climbed up to Lin Yichen with a smirk and asked, "Guest officer, do you want my servant to sleep in?"

"Get out!" Lin Yichen pushed him off sideways, squeezed his little arm and smirked, "Is it just you who are still serving the bed? You treat yourself too much! It was a coincidence this morning, don't you Do you think I have a crush on you?"

"That's not sure, you were quite high this morning." Li Huaixi lay on the fox fur and rubbed his stomach, he was a little hungry.

"What's hi?" Lin Yichen asked.

"Fanbang language means happy." Li Huaixi replied casually.

"Little thing, you still know the language of Fanbang. Tell me, what will you say? Maybe you can become an interpreter if you don't pass the exam in the future."

"You can't pass the exam. In a few years, I will come back with the number one exam. I'm so mad at you!" Li Huaixi tapped Lin Yichen's chest with his finger in the dark, and felt that it was very elastic and felt good to the touch.

"You can't win the champion. The emperor will not choose someone who is too young to be the champion. Last year's champion and the second place were no better than me in knowledge. The essays in the palace examination are mediocre, but the age is better. The current emperor is over half a hundred years old. I like young ones too much." Lin Yichen grabbed his little hand and held it in his palm, feeling very comfortable.

"Then doesn't he like things like reforms and reforms?" Policy discussions will involve these issues, and if you don't know the holy will, you will suffer a lot.

"Of course, what he hopes most is the stability of the country. He is a conservative king and has never done anything out of line in his life. However, he has a younger brother who is the king of Zhennan in the south. He has been eager to make trouble all these years."

"Really? If there is a war, will it hit us?"

"Who knows, maybe we won't be able to fight. Today's majesty can't do anything else. He has a way of having sons. Over 30 years, he has given birth to more than 20 sons. There are still [-] sons left. Two of them are quite capable of fighting. , so maybe we can't fight, and Zhennan King stopped making troubles. But my grandfather always felt uneasy and didn't want me to be a Beijing official, so he got me back early. I haven't even entered the theater in the capital. !"

"What's there to see in the theater? Liu Quan said that there are all kinds of things in the small hall. Aren't you the magistrate of the county? Have you ever been there?"

"The county magistrate can't go! Am I crazy?!"

"Are you mad at me?"

"Who is in love with you? It was an accident! An accident!"

……

The two quarreled under the covers for a while, and finally Li Huaixi couldn't stop arguing, and fell asleep on Lin Yichen's arm. Lin Yichen kissed him on the forehead, thinking that this little guy was cute when he was asleep.

Early the next morning, Lin Yichen ordered his servants to cook vegetable porridge for Li Huaixi, but the steamed buns were shared among the princes last night. Li Huaixi drank two large bowls of gruel in the morning, and went to the bushes three times in the morning.

In the afternoon, a yamen servant ran up the mountain to say that there was another murder case in the county, and Lin Yichen took Li Huaixi down the mountain.Li Huaixi thought that the county magistrate would send someone to take him home first, but Lin Yichen took him directly back to the county government office. Although Lin Yichen laid a thick cushion for him on the saddle on the way, Li Huaixi still jumped after getting off the horse. The 5-minute Jiangnan style made Lin Yichen laugh so hard again.

26. Same time

The new murder case is nothing new. The two families lived next to each other, and they lived in peace at first, but the dog of the east family ate the chicken of the west family, and the pig of the west family knocked down the courtyard wall of the east family. The new house that the Xi family just built last year suppressed the Feng Shui luck of the Xi family, so the two families fought, men and women, old and young, and finally the man from the Xi family smashed the head of the woman from the Dong family with an iron pick, and the murder case ended. happened.

There was a lot of noise in the front lobby, and every once in a while Li Huaixi could hear a gavel sound from behind, then it was quiet for a while, then buzzed again, and then there was another bang, and the cycle repeated for a long time. After the trial was over, Lin Yichen rubbed his head and came back from the front.

"In the future, I won't be a petty official like you, and I'll have to sit on the Sesame Mung Bean case for a long time." Li Huaixi said as he sat on a big chair dangling his two little feet.

"It's very interesting. There are all kinds of things in the world. When I get old, I can write a book, and it will definitely be handed down to the world." Lin Yichen thought about it very much.

"Then you can write now."

Li Huaixi sat on a chair and looked around. He had been to the lobby and the back hall of the county government. This inner house is still very fresh, and most of the furnishings here have an inscription of the word "official", indicating that it is official. A small part is personal belongings, with the word "Lin" on it, which belongs to the county magistrate himself. Everything with the word "Lin" is very delicate and expensive at first glance.

Lin Yichen looked back at him while changing clothes, and said with a smile, "Be more honest on the chair, I will hug you after I finish changing, don't jump down by yourself, you are too 'tall', be careful with your feet. "

Both are not fuel-efficient lights.

At this time, a servant came in to ask for instructions, "Sir, dinner is ready, do you want to pass it?"

"Let's pass it on, steam some soft and rotten ones, this distinguished guest has no teeth." This is Li Huaixi's current flaw. Lin Yichen won a small round, Li Huaixi glared at him and said nothing.

The toothless 'guest' ate very well at dinner, he especially liked a fried tofu box with shrimps, he ate most of the plate by himself, and the rest was packed to take away, he was homesick and wanted to let the magistrate Send a car to take him home.

"It's too late today, I'll send you directly to Mr. tomorrow, and watch Mr. beat you by the way." Lin Yichen sat behind the desk and read the file, very serious.

"My schoolbag is still at home." Li Huaixi didn't want people to watch him play the board, especially Lin Yichen.

"It's just a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I'll give you a good set when you leave." Lin Yichen glanced at him, and with a single sentence, this excuse disappeared.

"Sir, does hitting the board hurt?" Li Huaixi looked at his little hands. Although he was mentally prepared to hit the board for hunting, it seemed that his body was not ready yet.

"Then you are asking the wrong person. I have never been beaten by a ruler. I am afraid that your mother will beat you up tomorrow. It is inconvenient for me to enter your inner house. Please come out and let me take a look after you are done. To make me feel at ease."

"You don't feel at ease if I don't get beaten?" Li Huaixi glared at him, rubbing his belly and walking around the room, he ate too much.

Lin Yichen held the dossier in his hand, but stared at Li Huaixi, he thought Li Huaixi's appearance was so funny, he wanted to grab it and bite it, but it was a pity that he had to send it back tomorrow, he was a bit reluctant.

While lighting the lamp, two servants came in carrying a large bathtub and put it behind the screen in the bedroom next to it. After a while, they came in and filled it up with water. Li Huaixi went over and took a look. Expensive handmade soap with all kinds of petals in it, fragrant and beautiful, much better than their pig's pancreas.

Lin Yichen was still reading the dossier, Li Huaixi secretly stripped himself clean, stepped on the stool with bare buttocks and climbed into the bathtub, he wanted to take a fragrant bath like in the movie, but in the bathtub it was a disaster, He couldn't reach the bottom, he could only swim in it, not like taking a bath but like a drowning cat.

Lin Yichen found it strange to hear the sound of splashing water behind the screen. He got up and took a look, and was even more reluctant to let Li Huaixi go. The little thing was hanging on the edge of the bathtub and was panting. It was obvious that he was exhausted. Lin Yichen poked his head inside, I understood the reason, the physical strength dropped rapidly in the hot water, and the little thing couldn't swim anymore.

"Aren't there steps inside where you can sit?" Lin Yichen also lay on the side of the bathtub, and asked Li Huaixi face to face.

"The water doesn't reach the (mo) top when you're sitting, and the water only reaches your buttocks when you're standing!" Li Huaixi replied weakly, taking a bath really exhausted him.

"Shall I fish you out?" Lin Yichen asked while rolling up his sleeves.

"No, I haven't washed enough. Your soap is good. Bring me a few pieces tomorrow." Li Huaixi felt that his strength was relieved, so he swam back into the water again, thumping happily while asking for things.

"Greedy!" Lin Yichen smiled and stood next to the bathtub to watch Li Huaixi take a bath. It turned out that he didn't find that the bathtub he was used to had the function of a swimming pool, so he felt very happy.After watching for a while, Li Huaixi quit, "Can't you go out? This is not a bathhouse either!"

"This is my private bathtub. You used it without permission." Lin Yichen pointed to a copper nail on the bathtub with the word 'Lin' on it.

"I'll return it to you when I'm done washing." Li Huaixi was enjoying himself as he floated on the water. After thinking for a while, he stopped Lin Yichen who was about to go out, "My mother will put balm on me after I take a bath, do you have it? If not, then Hurry up and send someone out to buy some, or else I'll get itchy, and I haven't changed my clothes."

This is a master who can climb up without a pole. Lin Yichen called a maid and asked her to go back to the Lin Mansion to find his old mother's clothes and balm when he was a child. He didn't have balm. He would apply a kind of clear oil without fragrance, he was afraid that Li Huaixi would be dissatisfied, and he would make a fuss at that time, the appearance of the little thing rolling on the bullock cart would be difficult to deal with.

After a while, the maid came back and brought the balm and a full set of clothes. Not only the maid came back, but also the magistrate's mother, out of curiosity.

Li Huaixi didn't know that someone was waiting to see him outside. After climbing out of the tub, he climbed onto the county magistrate's bed with the county magistrate's bath towel on. After walking around, I found a huge Western-style mirror next to the cabinet, so I ran over to look in the mirror for the first time, and was immediately fascinated by myself.

He found that he was really good-looking, half of him looked like his mother, and the other half should be like his dead scholar father, because his mother had apricot eyes, while he had red phoenix eyes, thin lips, and narrower nose. , the face is the same small face, but his chin is a bit sharper, and he has two shallow dimples, which his mother doesn't have. Generally speaking, he thinks he is prettier than his mother, but unfortunately he dare not say that His mother said that a pregnant woman is like a fire-breathing tyrannosaurus and should not be messed with.

Thinking of his mother, Li Huaixi was a little worried. He would definitely be scolded when he returned home tomorrow. His mother was not a lady, she was particular about showing her behavior and smiling without showing her teeth. I can chase him for half a street!

Li Huaixi changed his clothes and came out to ask for water. His mother would pour him a large glass of warm water after he took a bath, but no one cared about him until now. Li Huaixi decided to go home early tomorrow, and Jinwo Yinwo also It's not as good as my own kennel. Although his mother is a bit fierce, she is a good mother.

Lin Yichen was drinking tea with his mother, and was taken aback when he saw Li Huaixi who had been dressed up, but he didn't expect the maid's eyes to be quite accurate, and the clothes she brought were just right, not too big or too small, which made Li Huaixi even cuter.

Mother Lin was also stunned. The child who came out of the bedroom seemed to come out of a painting, and looked at her with big eyes blinking, as if he hadn't woken up in a daze. Saying 'hello' was quite polite.

"You are my son's junior brother. Come here. I heard that you are also very good at reciting books. Can you recite a paragraph for me?" Mother Lin smiled and stretched out her hand to Li Huaixi, but unfortunately only received a handful of air.

Li Huaixi was very good at taking advantage of his appearance, yawned, and muttered "I'm sleepy, so I won't recite it for you" as he walked, his expression was no different from that of ordinary six-year-old children.He refused this unreasonable request confidently, then climbed straight to sit on Lin Yichen, blinked his big eyes and pretended to be good. He was waiting for the lady to give him a meeting gift, just like Lin Yichen gave him a big jade pendant when he met.

It's a pity that the lady didn't have the same good habits as her son, she didn't give him a greeting, she just came across the table to touch his little hand.Li Huaixi endured it for a while, then gave up, and pulled out his hand to get enough tea. Lin Yichen thought it was very considerate to send it to his hand, but Lin's mother quickly blocked it, "This is not for children. I have to sleep at night. Can't sleep. Thirsty? Come here, bring the white fungus and bird's nest soup prepared for the young master."

The bird's nest and white fungus soup tastes good, but it doesn't quench your thirst. Li Huaixi drank two bowls and asked for another glass of boiled water to really achieve his goal. After drinking it, he was really sleepy and struggled to go back to sleep. Children have the convenience of children and want to sleep That is to sleep, since there is no benefit, there is no obligation to entertain anyone.

"It seems that I came here by accident. The little guy is sleepy. Let him go back with me. I'll find someone reliable to take care of him. Such a small child can't let someone make mistakes." Lin's mother had been scolding just now My youngest son was so ridiculous that he even abducted someone else's son to a deep mountain for one night.

"No need, I'll take him to sleep right now, this little guy sleeps quite honestly." Lin Yichen was reluctant to hand over Li Huaixi, which was his favorite 'toy' at present.

"Then be careful, don't let others touch you, such a beautiful child, he must be precious." Lin's mother also stood up, planning to leave.

"I see, you can go." The magistrate was not so polite to his mother, and directly kicked her out.

As soon as Lin's mother left, Lin Yichen carried Li Huaixi back to the bedroom. Li Huaixi regained his energy when he arrived in the bedroom. Taking advantage of Lin Yichen's time to take a bath, he got out of bed and peed, took off his clothes, and then burrowed into the quilt and yelled again, " It's still cold in your quilt at this time, can't you make a water king? Our family put it away for me half a month ago!"

"Please forgive me for the poor service. We don't have that at home, why don't I roast you on the charcoal fire? Big kids have so many things to do, I'll throw them back for you tomorrow!" Lin Yichen finished taking a bath He also got into bed, didn't feel cold at all, a servant came in and turned off the light, and the two fell asleep hugging each other after arguing for a while.

The next day was Lin Yichen's holiday, so he personally took Li Huaixi to the school in a carriage, wanting to see how the master would play the board.

Mr. Li Huaixi was beaten three times as he wished, but he, the "officer of the imperial court", was not spared. Mr. also hit him three times. The reason is almost the same as helping the evildoers.

Li Long and Li Hu were very happy to see that his younger brother was safe and sound, but they were worried when they saw the silk and satin on Li Huaixi's body. They were worried that Li Huaixi would go away with the county magistrate in a while.

"This is his old clothes. It's been ten years." Li Huaixi reassured his two elder brothers that he was just picking up leftovers, and no one had abducted their younger brother.

"Wrong, it's been 12 years. It's the clothes I wore when I was less than five years old. It's just right for you when you're six years old!" Lin Yichen added, but the additions were annoying.

"You remember it really clearly!" Li Huaixi gritted his teeth and glanced at him, wondering why he still didn't leave.

"I'm going to the river to see the river dredging project. I'll pick you up at noon and take you home in a carriage. Don't run around after school." Lin Yichen rubbed his hands and told his three brothers, the county magistrate's palms were reddened by the husband .

"We can go back by ourselves, don't come." Li Huaixi drove the lingering county magistrate, he felt pain when he saw Lin Yichen rubbing his hands, the husband hit his left hand, the hand that doesn't use writing, was swollen .

"No, I haven't seen your mother hit you yet." Lin Yichen blinked at him, turned around and got into the carriage.

When school was over at noon, Lin Yichen's carriage stopped at the entrance of the school. Li Huaixi climbed into the carriage obediently. His left hand became more swollen all morning. Lin Yichen grabbed it and took a look, then took a small bottle of ointment and applied it to him, "morning I just bought it, it’s very useful, my hand is fine, but your pig’s paw may not be swollen until tomorrow.”

The ointment was cold, and Li Huaixi felt better. Thinking that there was still a beating at home, Li Huaixi confiscated the ointment without saying a word. Lin Yichen pinched his face with a smile, with a very unpredictable expression.

Outside the gate of Li's house, the county magistrate did not leave immediately as usual, but asked Li Long and Li Hu to invite Cheng Shi who was at home.Lin Yichen stood outside the door and bowed deeply to Li Huaixi's mother, "Mrs. Li, I was really reckless the day before yesterday, so I let your son stay in the mountains for a night. I was afraid that he would catch the cold yesterday, so I brought him back to the county government for observation. One night, your son is in good health and there is no discomfort. Please rest assured. If you want to blame me for entering the mountain, you can blame me. The son is still young, and the master has already beaten the board today, please don't punish him any more."

Li Huaixi gave Lin Yichen a thumbs up from behind his mother, wishing he could hug him and kiss him, this guy is so interesting, he just gave himself a gold medal to avoid death, now his mother will definitely not be able to beat him.

Sure enough, the butcher's lady known as 'Mrs. Li' was also very gentle, she bowed halfway through the door and said, "I'm causing trouble to the magistrate, please come and bring him back yourself. Since Mr. Now, and the county magistrate is pleading for mercy, then I will forget it here."

Having said that, when his mother turned around, she poked her son's forehead fiercely, "Li Huaixi, listen, I will spare you this time, and next time, be careful, I will beat you, I will kill you!" Butt!" His mother wanted to say, "Break your dog legs", but remembering that the county magistrate was still outside the door, she quickly changed the wording, but this wording was even worse. Li Huaixi blushed when she heard Lin Yichen's laughter. The joy dissipated in a blink of an eye, and I walked into the house with my head drooping. I might as well go home and be beaten up by his mother. Anyway, pregnant people don't dare to use force.

27. Li Si

After the county magistrate left, he sent servants from the Lin family to come again the next day, bringing over all the clothes of his height when he was a child. There are three good silk cloaks in winter, all of which are made of mink, and there are sachets in each suit. None of them have been eaten by moths, and they are all brand new and intact.

"The magistrate of this county really lost his head. If you wear such good clothes, you will not look like this in three days!" His mother said while packing up these clothes. Li Huaixi just came back from outside, and he went out to replace Liu Quan. I taught a lesson to a 12-year-old boy, a little younger than Li Long, who was beaten and cried by him, and he himself was covered in dirt.

"He can't wear the good clothes. They are always pressed at the bottom of the box to see the sun, and the good clothes are almost rotten." Li Huaixi rummaged in another box. Apart from these clothes, Lin Yichen promised him to send him some high-quality soap. It was also delivered this time.

The soap was placed under a stack of rice paper, and there were several bottles of beautifully packaged balm. Li Huaixi opened it and smelled it one by one, and found that each bottle smelled very good. He picked the rose flavor that Li Huaixi liked the most. I patted a little on my hand, and went to practice calligraphy happily.

"I don't know what ecstasy soup you gave to the county magistrate. You will be willing to ask for anything. Those rice papers are enough for you to write until next year."

"Mother, it will be next year in two months." Li Huaixi answered casually while writing, ecstasy soup?He doesn't need to irrigate, the magistrate will faint when he sees him, the old man is not serious!

In November, Li Long and Li Hu celebrated their birthdays together. The two guys’ birthdays are only one day apart. One is on the ninth day of November, and the other is on the tenth day of November. So they celebrated together, and grandma made a table The delicious food is for two grandchildren to celebrate their birthdays. There are many children in the family, so there are two less roosters in the yard. Each of the four chicken legs has one for each child. Liu Quan reported his birthday while eating, so Li Huaixi finished eating Fan secretly beat him up again—which servant would ask the master to celebrate his birthday? !

As soon as the weather started to get colder, Li Chengkui went into the mountain with his uncle. The family was old and young, and there was a pregnant daughter-in-law. It would be impossible not to prepare early. When he came back five days later, the charcoal in the car was bigger than Last year, it was half the number, and when I got home, I burned it on charcoal.

In the twelfth lunar month, Li Chengkui got busy. There were more people slaughtering pigs, and the bacon at home began to be cooked. Li Chengxiao and his wife would come to help every day. There are not many secrets about the method of making bacon. It is only a matter of time before everyone knows it. It's not interesting to hide it from your brothers, it's better to teach two more people to help first.

Brothers Li Huaixi and the others stay far away from their mother every day. They are afraid that they will not be able to brake in time and knock out the younger brother or sister in their stomachs.

Early in the morning, Li Huaixi's mother went to the latrine with her belly outstretched. She didn't know if she had exerted too much strength. When she came back, she complained that her stomach hurt. When the panting Mrs. Wen arrived home, his grandmother had already boiled hot water, scalded scissors, gauze and other things. Li Long and Li Hu spread clean plant ash on the kang with a dustpan, and the mat was lifted. When he got up, the windows were sealed, and his mother was already sweating while holding his father's hand.

After everything was arranged, Grandma Wen drove them all out, leaving only grandma to help inside. Li Chengkui was worried and asked Li Long to find Li Chengxiao's wife.

Li Huaixi had never been so anxious, he was sweating all over in the cold winter months, his heart beat violently every time his mother called out.Li Long and Li Hu are not much better than him, especially Li Hu, his face is pale, his mother suffered from the root cause of the disease when she gave birth to him, in his cognition, there is no difference between giving birth and going to hell. For a year, he had already regarded his stepmother as his own mother, and now he was so worried that he was about to cry.

Grandma came out at noon and made some noodles for them. All the men, big and small, only ate a small bowl. Even Liu Quan, who was the most gluttonous, cut down the portion.

"Grandma, it's been more than two hours, why isn't my mother born yet?" Li Huaixi didn't dare to ask Li Chengkui, who was also distracted, and asked in a low voice while grabbing his grandma's lapel in the kitchen.

"Don't worry, when you were born, your mother was in pain for more than five hours. You were a fat boy back then, so pretty... Your mother's belly is smaller now than when she was pregnant with you. The child is no big deal, Mrs. Wen said that your mother is in good health, just now she ate two eggs and half a bowl of noodles, don't worry, it will be almost in the afternoon." Grandma smiled and recalled the time when Li Huaixi was born for a long time, but unfortunately Li Huaixi He didn't listen at all, it wasn't him who lived in this body at that time.

Grandma seems to be quite relaxed, but Li Huaixi still can't feel at ease. Now he doesn't care about younger siblings, dead or alive, as long as they are born quickly. He doesn't care whether he has real brothers or sisters. Li Long and Li Hu are enough for him. Quan Ye can be half a brother, he only cares about his mother.

In the afternoon, his aunt came out and ordered them to boil water, let it cool after boiling, and put it at the door, so that the newborn could be bathed later.

But Li Si is really impatient, and he came out before they cooled the water. The four brothers had no time to see their newborn sister, so they quickly put the bucket into the well water to cool down. Fortunately, there was still some hot water left. , otherwise it might be too chaotic.

The new Li Siqu
