Simulated Immortal Cultivation: Beginning with Changchun's Immortality

Chapter 96
People in the mountains pay attention to humble names to make a living, so half-children generally don't get big names before they grow up.

Li Yan was born with thin skin and tender flesh, not like a child from a mountain family at all.

The parents were afraid that their youngest son would be entangled by little ghosts, so they gave him such a cheap name as Gou'er, hoping to grow up strong.

Li Yan lived up to expectations, and had never suffered from any illness since childhood.

In Yongguo, there are not a few villages named after their surnames like Lijia Village, most of them belong to the same clan, Li Sitai Ye and Li Yan are even relatives who have not been born in Wufu, so naturally they clearly remember the old man in front of them.

"It's me, how's the Fourth Master doing all these years?"

Li Yan smiled and sat down at the old man's table, and ordered Xiaoer to add two more dishes.

"You are quite a success. If those two hozens in my family can have half the success of yours, the old man will be worthy in this life."

Fourth Master Li said with some emotion.

Although Li Yan simply wore a navy blue Deluo Taoist robe, no matter the material or workmanship, it was the best choice. The old man has a vicious vision, so he can naturally see the extraordinary things in it at a glance.

The young man laughed, but didn't answer the question.

The waiter in the shop served the food very quickly. When he picked up a fennel bean, the old man took a sip of the drink, and suddenly opened his mouth.

"Dog, don't blame your father. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't survive, who would be willing to sell his children."

Thinking that Li Yan was brooding over this matter, the old man said earnestly.

"The boy never blamed his father for this."

Li Yan shook his head and said.

Maybe ordinary people would feel resentful because of this, but he also knew in his heart that during the years of war and chaos in Yong Kingdom, food was priced at one price per day, not to mention there were all kinds of exorbitant taxes.

The bandits pass like a comb, and the soldiers pass like a grate.

Not to mention the families in the mountains, even the well-to-do gentry in Qingniu Town have destroyed several families.

Half a child eats a poor old man, and if he doesn't sell himself, the family's grain and rice are enough for a few days.

Yongguo respects Dao, and selling his children to Taoist temples is a good way out, better than starving to death as a family.

Besides, if this is not the case, how can I set foot on the road.

"You are a sensible kid. If Da Zhuang had a spirit in heaven, he would be so happy to hear what you said."

The fourth grandfather said with some emotion.

"Spirit in the sky? What happened to my father?"

Li Yan was taken aback, and quickly asked the old man.

"Hey, since you followed that Taoist priest, your family hasn't been able to live a good life for two days. Your eldest brother was forced to fight by the government. After a few days, the rebels came and forced your father to go. Only your second brother escaped unharmed when he went out to gather herbs that day."

"After so many years, the rebel army was wiped out by the emperor, and they haven't been able to come back. I think they are probably gone!"

The old man took a puff of tobacco, his tone quite heavy.

Not only Li Yan's family, but also himself lost two sons.

Xing, the people suffer!

Death, the people suffer!

After drinking and eating, Li Yan took the steed and followed Li Si Tai Ye, and walked towards Li Family Village.

……

From the chitchat between the two on the road, we can know that Mr. Li's trip to the market is mainly to sell the mountain products picked from the mountains to the wine shop, so as to exchange some money to subsidize the family.

When I came, I carried a heavy basket on my back, but when I went, I was relaxed.

There were also horses for their feet, and the two arrived in Lijia Village not long after.

The familiar thatch and muddy black roof are still there, and there is also a yellow muddy earth wall under the roof. Perhaps because of the age, the wall is cracked with a few inconspicuous slender openings. .

In rainy weather, damp and cold wind pours in through the cracks, which can kill people.

Old Li's family is just an ordinary family in the village, relying on a few acres of Susukida and hunting income, they can barely make a living.

Sometimes when you meet a stupid fox who has stepped into a trap, the fur can be sold for a good price and can be exchanged for daily necessities.

Although there are no big fish and meat, but the stick noodle porridge every day can at least guarantee not to starve to death. Sometimes the elder brother picks up some game, and the three brothers share the food and beat teeth for sacrifices. In Li Yan's memory, it can be regarded as a New Year's happiness.

In this environment, it is undoubtedly a miracle that Li Yan can still grow white and tender.

"Master, come back from the field so soon, ye?"

Hearing the movement at the door, a woman suddenly asked in surprise from inside the room.

Immediately after the door opened, it was a woman Li Yan had never seen before.

"This Daoist..."

Unexpectedly, a handsome little Taoist priest came, and the woman lost her mind for a while, and stood there at a loss.

"Erniu daughter-in-law, who's here?"

As if feeling the strangeness outside the house, a peasant woman in simple clothes came out, carrying a rolling pin in her hand, and walked out of the house gropingly.

"Mom, I'm a dog!"

The old woman in front of her was pretty much the same as before, but her face was much more withered and her hair was also gray.

"Dog? You are a dog!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, the old woman froze for a moment, then suddenly dropped the rolling pin in her hand, and stumbled towards the direction of the sound.

If Li Yan hadn't hugged the old woman, she would almost have fallen to the ground.

At this time, Li Yan didn't even need to tell anyone that something was wrong.

"Mom, what happened to your eyes?"

However, the old woman just cried bitterly while hugging her young son whom she hadn't seen for many years, and kept saying things like I'm sorry.

"Both my father-in-law and my uncle were conscripted to fight, and my mother-in-law also cried and went blind at that time."

It was the woman who held her mother-in-law by the arm and patiently explained to the uncle in front of her.

She vaguely remembered that her husband mentioned that she had a younger brother who was sold to a Taoist temple, but the Taoist in front of her had delicate features and fair skin, which was completely different from her husband's family, so she didn't dare to think about it at first.

The news of Li Yan's return was like a thunderclap in this small mountain village. Even the second brother who worked hard in the fields was called back by his mother, and the family was reunited.

Maybe it's a debt, maybe it's a stranger. Faced with the third child who is not what it used to be, the whole family is inevitably a little cautious. When they learn that Li Yan is now a Taoist priest who has been officially awarded the Taoist priest, even the second brother is a little at a loss.

No matter what Li Yan said, Li Erniu just catered obsequiously.

After going away for more than ten years, it seems that they are people from two worlds when they come back. Even the bed they slept in when they were young is now owned by two nephews.

It was late at night, and after thanking the second sister-in-law for her kindness in rearranging the bed, Li Yan walked out of the house, looking at the stars all over the sky, a little lost in thought.

"Dog, Brother Yan, are you leaving tomorrow?"

At some point, Li Erniu walked out of the house and stood beside Li Yan.

It seemed that he was not used to it, and almost called Li Yan's life by mistake.

"That's right, after all, this place no longer belongs to Pindao, and Pindao's descent this time is also to break the fate of the world."

Li Yan didn't mean to hide it from his elder brother.
