Chapter 30 Chapter Ten Troubled Times

Li Kaishan said in a deep voice: "When did it happen?" His face changed slightly. Lian Xing stood aside, secretly surprised.The ancestors have always been Taishan collapsed in front of him without changing his face. Why did the sixth master uncle mention that Xiu Tianluo ran away, and the master's face changed for the first time?Who is this Xiu Tianluo? My heart suddenly moved: Could it be the ragged middle-aged man imprisoned in the grotto dungeon? Fang Liuyi said angrily: "Today it was the disciple's turn to deliver food to that Xiu Tianluo. The disciple went to deliver the food in the afternoon, but who knew that when he arrived in the dungeon, he found that at some point, that Xiu Tianluo had disappeared. .”

Li Kaishan glanced at Lian Xing, and said to Lian Xing: "Ah Xing, go and get your master and some of your uncles. Then, you can play with Da Kui." Lian Xing agreed, gave a salute, exited the door, and gently closed the door. Lian Xing had followed Li Kaishan's orders a year ago to worship at the gate of Old Jin.Now Lian Xing told his master Jin Boss, his second uncle Guan Yumen, his third uncle Mi Boyuan, and finally his fourth uncle Li Biao. Li Biao had just come back from other places, and when he heard Master calling him, he knew something important must happen, so he greeted Fourth Aunt Li and hurried away.

Fourth Aunt Li smiled and said: "Lian Xing, do you think your fourth uncle brought you something good?" Lian Xing knew that every time Fourth Uncle Li came back from a trip, he would bring him and Da Kui some interesting things. Lian Xing walked into the room quickly, and saw Da Kui squatting on the ground looking at the two little birds. These two little birds are black and white, with sharp beaks and hooked beaks. The black ones are all black, and the white ones are all white.One black and one white, complement each other. The two little birds swaggered with extraordinary momentum, pacing back and forth on the ground.

Lian Xing was overjoyed, touched the little white bird, and asked, "Aunt Si, what kind of bird are these? Are they eagles? Are they so fun?" Fourth Aunt Li shook her head and said, "It's not an eagle, it's a giant owl." Lian Xing and Da Kuiqi asked, "What kind of animal is a giant owl?" Fourth Aunt Li smiled and said: "The giant owl is a kind of raptor in the deep mountains and old forests of Guandong. It is extremely powerful. These two are just bought by your fourth uncle from the Orion of Changbai Mountain in exchange for four big orbs. Your fourth uncle is very distressed."

From then on, Lian Xing and Da Kui regularly went to the ancestral hall to ask Li Kaishan for advice on martial arts and practice Taoism.The two entered the country at a rapid pace, and in their spare time, they took pleasure in teasing the giant owl. As spring goes and autumn comes, the leaves of the red maple trees on Yandang Mountain turn red and then yellow, yellow and then red again.Thirteen years passed in a blink of an eye. The year is already 1918. Da Kui has grown tall and big, while Lian Xing has become more and more beautiful.Having nothing to do, Lian Xing and Da Kui visited every strange peak and rock in Yandang Mountain, Xiuling and secluded pools.Seven Star Cave, Xianzhang Peak, Luodai Waterfall, Nengren Temple... Which place did not leave the two of them?

On this day, when the two returned from Dalongqiu, they saw Fourth Aunt Li standing on the hillside in front of Tiyun Valley from a long distance, looking over here. The two stepped forward quickly, one on each side, holding Fourth Aunt Li's hands.Da Kui complained: "Mom, it's so late, you are still waiting for us here, be careful if you catch a cold again." Fourth Aunt Li said: "I can't see you and Lian Xing coming back, can Mom rest assured?" Lian Xing smiled and said, "Fourth Aunt, we are all grown up and can take care of ourselves, so don't worry about it."

Fourth Aunt Li looked at the two of them with love and compassion on her face, and said, "How old are you? Even if you are eighty, in the eyes of Fourth Aunt, you are still children." Lian Xing said with a smile: "As you talk, you call yourself old. Da Kui, look, Fourth Aunt really has gray hair." Fourth Aunt Li gave Lian Xing a blank look: "Fourth Aunt is so old, can she not have gray hair? Brat, hurry home, the food is cold." The three walked home hand in hand, and sat at the dinner table. Lian Xing looked at the empty seat in his hand and asked, "Fourth aunt, fourth uncle went out to work again?"

Fourth Aunt Li said: "That's right, these days, the world is chaotic, and your master is worried about using others, so he had to let your fourth uncle go. After all, your fourth uncle has been away for a long time and has more experience." Lian Xing said: "I heard that Mr. Sun Yat-sen was squeezed out by Duan Qirui from Beijing and Lu Rongting from Guangxi. Is it true?" Fourth Aunt Li said: "Yes, Mr. Sun was squeezed away by those two warlords. I also heard your fourth uncle accidentally mention it when he came back. The current situation is too chaotic. How many major events have happened in the past twenty years? what."

Da Kui and Lian Xing sat aside and listened intently. I saw Fourth Aunt Li snapping her fingers and counting them one by one: "First, the year before you and Da Kui were born. In that year, the Boxers, the Boxers, the red lights, how many people died! In the second year, the Eight Kingdoms The Allied forces invaded China, and the foreign devils burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of crimes. After a few years, Emperor Xuantong abdicated, the Qing Dynasty finally collapsed, and the common people could finally live a few days of stability. But who knew that Yuan Shikai wanted to be the emperor again, and was forced to restore the throne. The national defense army was defeated. But within a year, Zhang Xun led the braided army into Beijing, trying to put Xuantong on the throne again, but Duan Qirui was beaten away. The whole world fell to those few big warlords Mr. Sun Yat-sen left Guangzhou in a fit of anger and returned to Shanghai. Now the whole of China is in chaos. Whoever has a gun is a grandfather.

"Here, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. No one cares. We only hope that the patriarch will bless us to have a few more years of peaceful food. We can't care too much about anything else, hey!" After speaking, he sighed. Da Kui said: "Mom, it's useless to think so much about eating. This national event is not something we should worry about." Lian Xing said: "Why not? You haven't heard that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country? This includes you and me." Da Kui said: "I am older than you, I am an old man, you are younger than me, you are a little man, the country rises and falls, and the little man is responsible. You don't need to eat, you will rise and fall."

Fourth Aunt Li laughed and scolded: "The two of you started bickering after a few words, hurry up and eat." Lian Xing and Da Kui looked at each other and laughed.
