Pastoral Chronicle of the Talented Talent

"In the evening, he will definitely come back." Li Min replied indifferently, seeing that Qi Shao's complexion was not good-looking, Li Min was not too ruthless, opened his mouth to persuade him again, but heard Qi Shao suddenly asked, "Where is Nianzu?"

"I'm cooking." Li Min replied smoothly, and saw Qi Shao rushing towards the kitchen, Nian Zu was lifted out by him, and Li Min heard Qi Shao sharply questioning Nian Zu and Ah Er's whereabouts.The spatula in Nianzu's hand was still stained with vegetable stains, and he looked at Li Min with teary eyes, and spread his hands pitifully, almost crying aloud.

"Qi Shao, let Nianzu go!"

Li Min rushed forward and pushed Qi Shao away, Nian Zu was free and immediately slipped behind Li Min, like a frightened rabbit, looking at Qi Shao with red eyes, murmuring from time to time, as if explaining It seems to be complaining.

"Li Min, your martial arts are also very high, right?"

Qi Shao had veins popping out of his forehead, and his tone was very bad. He grabbed Li Min's hand, and suddenly thought of the scene where he stabbed Ah Da's nose with a branch.

"I've practiced fencing for several years." Li Min replied to him, flipped his wrist, and with a clever push and circle, suddenly broke free from Qi Shao's restraint.

"Fencing?" Qi Shao showed a trace of doubt, and after a while he figured it out, sneered, squinted his eyes and looked at Li Min up and down, and said decisively, "You are practicing soft sword."

The ability to poke a soft branch into Ah Da's nostrils accurately can only be controlled by those who practice soft swords. What Li Min said about fencing is lying to him!Ah Er's disappearance must have something to do with Li Min!

"I don't know what soft sword is!" Li Min didn't want to talk nonsense with him. Seeing that the fire at the bottom of the pot was gradually extinguished, and Li Lang was going to eat his breakfast late, he rolled up his sleeves and planned to enter the kitchen. Qi Shao Dang blocked his way first, and whispered towards the stone bench in the yard, his tone was calm but ordered, mixed with a hint of vague pleading, "Min'er, I have something to tell you, let's go there."

Li Min was surprised that Qi Shao's attitude had changed so much. Seeing his usual unrestrained face full of complicated embarrassment, Li Min was also curious about what he wanted to say to him, so he asked Nianzu to go back and serve the dishes. , he sat with Qi Shao under the bare tree that had lost all its leaves, and sat dryly on a cold stone bench.

"Min'er, you know, I asked Ah Er to rush back to Qi's mansion overnight. It turned out that the aunts of my father were making a fuss, but who knew that Ah Er had to go out, but he couldn't come back! Alas!" Qi Shao said, patted On the knees under the brocade robe, there is nowhere to tell the troubles on the face.

At this time, Nianzu came out of the kitchen with vegetables, and glanced this way from a distance. Qi Shao's voice was not loud at all, and he couldn't hear it from such a distance, but Nianzu seemed to hear it, soft and tender. A sarcastic smile that doesn't match the age suddenly flashed across the baby's fat face. Li Min subconsciously looked at this, and saw Nianzu lowered his head, carelessly holding the plate, and quickly brought all the dishes into the room. .

"Let the government find someone." Li Min replied, "When did Ah Er go out? It was less than a day and a night. Maybe he will come back later."

Will a man as big as Ah Er disappear?Of course Li Min doesn't believe it, but Ah Er and Ah Da are both good at kung fu. If they can't come back, Li Min thinks that what Qi Shao asked Ah Er to do must be very dangerous, and is it a dangerous job to deal with an aunt in the inner house? ?Will it make a guard with high martial arts skills never return?

Li Min shook his head secretly, a little in disbelief, but after all, he had never seen people and things in the Qi mansion, Qi Shao could have guards with strong martial arts around him, maybe the people around those aunts were no different.In this ambiguity, he listened to Qi Shao's next words: "After my father died, the aunt and the concubine sons of the family had a quarrel and clamored to separate the family. When my father was alive, he loved those concubine sons very much." , raised them to be tricky and lazy, and they had a large number of followers. Before their father died, they dug a gold mine in partnership, and because of this, they had an enmity with the Xiao family. I don't know much about the reason, only that After the death of my father, the Xiao family stopped contacting our Qi mansion, and now the imperial court has issued a mine survey order, and it is the Xiao family who took over. If our Qi mansion is found to be stealing mines, the family will definitely have no benefit..."

"Min'er, I only have you as a true friend! When they heard about the leopard, they hadn't mentioned gold mining. It wasn't until the notice was issued that my brothers hurriedly sent me a letter... …Now our Qi family only has Li Zundao as a backer, as long as Li Zundao is willing to pass on the word to the Shentu family and the Shentu family has full power to mine the gold mine, then our Qi family will be spared!"

Qi Shao continued talking, looking at Li Min who was listening quietly with a hint of pain and begging in his expression, and continued sadly, "When you went to find Lang'er, no matter how difficult it was, the situation was much better than mine. But at that time, you were in pain as if you had lost the whole world. Hehe, Miner, now it is my turn, and I will lose my family. No! Maybe tomorrow I will be asked to cut the Meridian Gate!"

"What can I do?" Li Min lowered his eyes and asked quietly.

As soon as Li Min finished speaking, a smug look flashed across Qi Shao's eyes. He lowered his eyes gently to hide the sternness in his expression, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm afraid you won't like it." Do it, after all, even if the whole family of Qi Mansion is ransacked, it must have nothing to do with you. You just need to live a peaceful life, and you really don't need to go through this muddy water."

If Li Min had hesitated about Qi Shao's request before, then Qi Shao's words now completely blocked Li Min's retreat.If Li Min refuses to agree, then he will only get a bad name of treachery.After all, when he rescued Li Lang back then, Qi Shao sent people to wait on him. Now that Qi Shao is in trouble, Li Min can't refuse no matter what.

"As long as you say it, I will agree to it." Leaving aside the prerequisites, Li Min's eyes were firm, and his tone was even more serious, obviously willing to go up and down for Qi Shao.

Hearing this, Qi Shao smiled, waved his hands and said, "Where is it, Min'er, I just want to ask you to say something for me."

"What are you talking about, who are you talking to?" Until today, Li Min was barely able to say a few words in Mushui Village. I don't think Qi Shao will take notice of my little ability.

"Li Yufeng." Qi Shao's dark eyes fixed on Li Min's delicate face, and he uttered three words clearly.

Hearing this, Li Min smiled coldly and asked, "What do you want me to say?" Before the embankment was repaired, Li Yufeng jumped up and down shouting that the embankment could not be repaired, and Li Min thought it was thundering and raining heavily. A little small, but unexpectedly, he was waiting for him here.

When Qi Shao saw Li Min's face covered with frost, he knew that he would not believe in him, let alone help him. Excited, Qi Shao stood up, threw himself in front of Li Min, half-kneeled in front of him, tightly Grabbing Li Min's hands on the stone table, he explained excitedly, "Min'er, I have no choice but to do these things! You are a sensible person, and you know it all. I secretly handed over pictures of beauties to Li Yufeng." It's all about trying to please Li Yufeng and let him speak for our Qi family. But you exposed that painting in the family meeting, which made Li Yufeng very angry, and the matter was settled, so I turned to Go ask Li Zundao, who knows that Li Zundao is more difficult than Li Yufeng..."

Qi Shao's cold and quiet eyes filled with resentment, and he rebuked angrily, "The Li family and his son are nothing! They obviously took advantage of it, but they made things difficult for me! I have made concessions to them again and again, even at the expense of Helping your second uncle, they are still not satisfied! Now they want to see you, in the final analysis, it’s just because of the breath in their chest. Cao Heng was bitten by a poisonous snake, and they are full of resentment towards you, Min’er, you Can you go there, I will follow you, and I will never let them hurt you!"

Li Zundao's wife, Li Yufeng's mother, Cao Yaju, is Cao Heng's aunt and Cao Si's elder sister.

"Is Cao Heng still okay?" Li Min asked, thinking at the same time that Wei Wu's poisonous snake bit Cao Heng, and Li Yufeng killed Wei Wu in order to express his anger, but he was safe and sound, and even brought the people of Mushui Village with him. How could they tolerate their own carelessness in repairing the embankment?

I'm afraid it's this trip, there are many people who go and never return.

"I heard that I feel drowsy every day, less time to wake up and more time to faint. Chunhua is waiting by the side, washing my face with tears all day long." Seeing Li Min asking this question, Qi Shao suddenly felt that his chances were getting bigger, his eyes moved, and he continued quickly Said, "They asked Min'er to go to Cao Heng's house, and go to see Cao Heng. If Cao Heng is unlucky enough to survive, it will be the last time to see him...Min'er, will you go?"

The last sentence came out of Qi Shao's mouth with a trembling sound, his dark eyes were full of anticipation and fear, for fear that Li Min would say no, he stood up abruptly, turned his back to Li Min and said, " Forget it! I won’t force you to meet Cao Heng! If the Qi family is ransacked and beheaded, I only hope that you can go to my grave to burn incense and sprinkle a glass of thin wine, I am already satisfied.”

"Brother Qi, what are you talking about? How could I just watch you die. Isn't it just to see Cao Heng? It's not a big deal, I'll just go now."

Li Min also stood up immediately, with a faint smile on his pretty face, walked up to Qi Shao, and agreed very readily.

"Are you really willing to go?" Qi Shao was moved, but at the same time he sighed with a hint of embarrassment, "But Li Yufeng wants you to see Cao Heng at night. They just moved Cao Heng back to his own home, and he was awake during the day At least, I can wake up for an hour and a half at night, so—”

"I understand." Li Min nodded, "Li Yufeng wants to watch me apologize to Cao Heng, that's what he means. I'll just go." Li Min looked at Qi Shao coldly as he spoke, and asked worriedly He said, "Qi Shao, I'll just go like this. Will Li Yufeng really keep his promise and introduce the Shentu family to your Qi family? Can your Qi family get a patron?"

"Of course, as long as you go." Qi Shao firmly assured.

Li Min lowered his head, his dense eyelashes drooped, and he agreed softly, "Okay. I'll go."
