Pastoral Chronicle of the Talented Talent

There was a woman's voice cursing and cursing inside the Zhumen, and then there was a faint light in the courtyard. Li Min raised the torch in his hand, thinking whether to throw the torch in later, but there was less oil on it. , I'm afraid I can't burn this nest of things in Zhumen...

"Who is it! Which god damn it has nothing to do with throwing a hoe at my house, what should I do if it hits someone!"

Jiang cursed unceremoniously all the way, and rushed towards the gate with a lantern.

With a creak, the door opened, and she saw a young man standing outside her house holding a torch. Looking at it, it looked like an evil ghost who came to take his life, and Jiang Shi let out a short "ah" in fright.

"Spot on!"

Li Min didn't care what she called, even if she broke her throat at the moment, she only listened to opera.

When the leopard behind heard Li Min's order, it slammed, its black shadow flashed, and it roared loudly, and then rushed in through the hole in the door opened by Jiang Shi.

"what--"

Jiang Shi screamed instantly, and it really broke the rhythm of the throat.

"It's a big night, what happened?"

Maotouer crutches, his voice is hoarse but majestic. It is obvious that the white-haired patriarch is coming. He is followed by Aunt Zhao and a group of heirs of the patriarch's family. As soon as he came over, he saw Mrs. Jiang wearing a thin cotton coat with a middle coat inside. He was slamming the door and hissing indistinctly.

"My nephew just arrived, hey, auntie, you are calling so loudly, could it be that the family has recruited thieves?"

Li Minzhi lit a torch and walked towards Mrs. Jiang, with a gentle face on his handsome face, he asked eloquently.

"Li Min! Who else but you! You planted a hoe on our house, almost smashed the door, and you also let a leopard on our house, you god damn, you are a sinner! Patriarch Come and take a look, this damned scholar doesn't want us to be safe tonight!"

Jiang was not forgiving, so she asked the patriarch to talk to her with her stomach in her arms.

The patriarch ignored Jiang, but looked at Li Min, "Li Xiucai, what are you going to do?" He was found, but these unreasonable things happened, the patriarch felt very strange.

"It's really because Langer disappeared." Aunt Zhao next to her said in a low voice.

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Shi who was making noise at the side also stopped and her eyes widened, as if she suddenly came to her senses, and seemed to be thinking secretly in her heart, suddenly she wailed, "My poor Lang'er, He disappeared? But it’s not right for me to be an aunt, why didn’t I take good care of him! Where did Lang’er go, patriarch, please open your eyes, we must find Lang’er!”

Mrs. Jiang yelled again, but Li Min passed her without saying a word, raised one leg, and kicked at the door on one side with a "squeak", and the door was knocked against the courtyard wall behind with a loud bang. , and suddenly a door opened wide, revealing the entire quiet courtyard, "Patriarch, since you are here, let's sit inside. For the sake of my aunt's anxiety, I invite you to be a witness."

Stepping into the gate with one leg, Mrs. Jiang stopped shouting, blinked her eyes, and saw that Li Min took her as a favor and helped the patriarch to enter the door.

"It's getting dark, let's talk about something tomorrow!"

Jiang Shi hugged her stomach and stood in front of her. Seeing that she was not allowed to enter, Li Min said to her with a smile, "Didn't Aunt just say that someone knocked on your door and you were looking for a thief? Now the patriarch is here. Why are you covering it instead, is there really a thief in the house?"

Li Min was very familiar with this family, and immediately helped the patriarch to go to the main hall, lighting up all the lamps along the way, illuminating the cobbled path in the entire yard.

"Go and get Li Mu." Patriarch Li Qifu ordered Jiang with a wave of his crutch.

Mrs. Jiang backed away with her belly in her arms. Every sentence echoed in the entire hall of the Li family. Li Min observed here calmly. Only one hall was bigger than ten of his thatched huts. The furnishings inside , quaint desks, incense burners, and ink-colored landscape paintings in the middle, all of which seem to have a higher style than ordinary peasant households.

Li Min's family used to be really rich.

Just as Li Min was thinking about it, the patriarch covered his mouth and coughed. He was obviously ill, and there was a lot of sticky phlegm in his throat.

Li Min walked out the door briskly, poured a glass of water and brought it to the patriarch in a familiar way, and was about to say something, when suddenly he saw a vigorous black figure rushing in from the door, Aunt Zhao and several young and middle-aged men of the patriarch's family were shocked when they saw it With a big jump and a loud cry, Li Min came back to his senses and saw that Ban Ban had returned, with something in its mouth, but it was a faded cloth scarf tied in a bun.

When Li Min saw the cloth scarf, his eyes suddenly turned red!Leaving Ban Ban aside, he snatched it up excitedly, and recognized it right away!This is Langer's!

He handed the things to the patriarch, "Patriarch, this is Lang'er's stuff, and now I found it at the second uncle's house. I suspect that the second uncle has stolen Lang'er and sold it away. Please ask the patriarch to uphold justice!"

The patriarch took the cloth scarf with some hesitation, and looked at the piebald leopard, with a hint of uncertainty in his old eyes like lacquer spots.

"Patriarch, don't worry, this leopard is actually just a big cat, but it's so obedient!"

When Li Min said this, even the two young and middle-aged boys of the patriarch's family didn't believe it, but seeing Li Min stroking the leopard's head and the leopard squinting its eyes enjoying it, they were even more surprised and had to believe it. up.

"What are you talking about! I sold my nephew secretly, Li Min, you really don't know the importance!"

Before the patriarch could say anything, he heard a sharp and deep voice coming from the door. Li Min turned his head suddenly and saw a handsome and tall middle-aged man standing with one hand behind his back, as if he was carrying something. At the door, the slender figure greatly blocked the cold wind outside the door, his eyes were biting towards him like a sharp eagle, with two black beards on his mouth, his whole expression was caught in a kind of sullen anger .

He is Li Mu.

Li Min glanced at it, and said calmly, "Auntie and the old woman went to the hut, and they want to sell Min'er and become a little girl. You must feel 'very ignorant' about this matter!"

After the sound fell, Li Mu's whole face became more tense, and he stared at Li Min with a sullen expression, as if he had said something treacherous.

It was Jiang Shi who did the wrong thing, but Li Mu blamed himself so much.

Li Min laughed in his heart, but he was a decent guy.If not, how could he covet his eldest brother's property, and drive his eldest brother's children to the huts where the animals live without caring about them.

Although this Li Mu looked dignified and loyal, it was a pity that the contents of his skin had long since rotted away.

"You bastard! When did I do such a thing? Li Min, don't talk nonsense! This was struck by lightning!" Jiang Shi didn't know when she appeared, she was completely new, with a brocade on her upper body The pink blouse embroidered with orchids, and the magnolia pleated skirt underneath, although not new and the style is very old, but the texture is of high quality.

Li Min lowered his head to look at himself, he was bitten by wild beasts, revealing the snow-white cotton gray cloth gown and the fur that belonged to Minjian on the outside, but under his feet were thin and worn-out boots, with the front two toes poking out abruptly, shivering from the cold purple.

"It turns out that my aunt also knows that thunder strikes from the sky? People say that doing things accumulates virtue, and my aunt should think more about the child in her stomach when she does things."

Li Min looked away coldly, not even bothering to look at her.A woman's mouth can really say anything.

He's a man, it's a loss to argue with Jiang's class!

"Hey, what happened?" Li Jingyan was woken up by the noise in the house, she inquired about it, and when she heard that Li Min was here, she felt a thump in her heart, and she bravely came to the front hall.

Li Jingyan was dressed in the same color as her mother, but the front was obviously hand-embroidered peonies. Once she caught her eyes, she felt fluffy and bright. There was something unknown in his eyes, but before his eyes disappeared, he heard Li Mu's reprimand, "The land of the Li family allows animals to run wild, I really don't know what it means!"

Li Mu yelled violently, pulled out an arrow feather from behind, put on the bow, squinted at Li Min's side, and shot at the leopard leaning on his trouser leg!

Li Min didn't expect that Li Mu turned out to be the leopard who shot him, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and scratched his arm with a squeak. Yi looked at Li Mu coldly, "Patriarch, have you seen that the second uncle is in his prime and strong, so it is not a problem to catch a ten-year-old child! What's more, the things on Lang'er were found in the second uncle's house , the evidence is burning, and I ask the patriarch to give you an order."

"Nonsense! I'm teaching this wild leopard a lesson. When did I use it against my own nephew? Li Min, don't talk nonsense!" Li Mu refused to admit it, and shouted coldly!

"Li Mu, where is Li Lang?" The patriarch spoke at this moment, looking at Li Mu coldly.

"I've never seen Li Lang!" Li Mu roared angrily, gritted his teeth angrily, it's cheap for Li Min to wrong him for no reason and drive him to the hut!It's really time for this kid to suffer!

When Jiang and Li Jingyan heard the words of the patriarch, their hearts trembled at the same time, their eyes were hiding, and they also looked like they didn't know;

Li Min smiled and looked at the patriarch, "You are the patriarch of Mushui Village, if someone violates the clan rules and kills each other, what should we do?"

The patriarch raised his eyelids at Li Min, suddenly chuckled, swung the crutch in his hand to the side, and shouted heavily, "Cannibalism? Hmph! So far no one has dared to use force in front of me!"

He saw the uneasiness in Li Min's heart, and his voice clanged and fell to the ground, shocking everyone present.

Li Min took the lead in looking at Li Mu. If the patriarch and Li Mu were in the same boat when the Li family separated, then Li Mu's reaction would not be as it is now, with a drastic change of expression and resentment.

As long as the patriarch was not bought by Li Mu, Li Min would have confidence in his mind!

"Patriarch, Banban found Lang'er's turban in this yard. If the second uncle is really innocent, why are you afraid to investigate?"

Handing the injured arm to Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao hurriedly took a piece of cloth and bandaged Li Min in a panic, exhorting her carefully.

Hearing this, the patriarch slapped the table in front of him, and shouted to the people behind him, "Zhi'er, go and invite all the other elders in the clan! However, if you stand guard here, whoever dares to use force will call for beating and killing!" Yes, remove the name from the clan and drive out of Mushui Village!"

Li Mu froze when he heard this, his expression was shocked, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Li Zhi from leaving, and said to the patriarch, "The patriarch has something to discuss, why don't you invite the elders here, it's late at night, and the elders are not healthy Well, if there is something wrong, we can settle it privately, let alone Lang Er is missing, we can sit down and discuss it."

Li Zhi looked towards his grandfather, while the patriarch nodded after a moment of thought, and asked Li Min, "What do you think of Li Xiucai?"

"Let Ban Ban go and look for it, and of course they will know where Lang'er went!"

Li Min's words are very clear, search the hospital!

Li Mu was very displeased, and Jiang Shi hated it even more, so he let go on the spot, "Why search our house! It's not a murder case! No one is dead yet, so why search our house in the middle of the night?!"

Li Jingyan secretly dragged her mother, showing a timid and anxious expression.

"Lang'er is only ten years old. He is a member of the Li family. He disappeared for no reason like this. Auntie and Second Uncle, are you not in a hurry?" Li Min continued.

"Okay!" Li Mu turned his head and yelled at Mrs. Jiang, and the room fell silent. He pointed at Li Min, and then he said, "You can search if you want! It's just one thing, if you can't find it, Li Min Kneel down in front of everyone and offer tea to me and apologize!"
