Li Meng was holding two dead hares in his hands. It looked like they were out hunting, but he escaped this disaster. He threw away the rabbits and rushed over quickly, shouting in a trembling voice: "Dad! Dad
What's wrong with you? Who hurt you?"
Li Shengqiang smiled and touched his head and said, "Xiao Meng, sit down first and let dad explain something to your Uncle Xu."
Tears were already welling up in Li Meng's eyes, but he still resisted falling down. He nodded and supported Li Sheng obediently, gritting his teeth and stopped talking.
Xu Zizhen endured the grief in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, if you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later. I'll take you to the doctor right now!" As he spoke, he leaned over to carry him on his back.
Li Sheng stopped him and said with a smile: "I won't survive. Before I die, please listen to my conversation first."
Seeing the blood pouring from his chest, Xu Zizhen obviously couldn't hold on for much longer, so he had to grit his teeth and said, "Okay, Brother Li, you tell me, I'll listen."
"Brother Xu, actually, Luo'er is not my daughter, it's just her life experience... Ahem, forgive me for not being able to tell you clearly." The smile on Li Sheng's face gradually disappeared and turned into a look of memories and helplessness.
Color, and spoke slowly, "Four years ago, a sudden change occurred in Luo'er's family. Her mother was framed and falsely accused her of trying to harm Luo'er's father. The evidence seemed conclusive at the time, and Luo'er's mother could not defend herself.
Hou Xuanliang committed suicide to show his innocence, but the person who framed him was unwilling to let it go and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Luoer..."
At this point, he coughed violently. Xu Zizhen and Li Meng hurriedly patted him on the back, finally smoothing his breath. Then he continued: "I am a little boy in Luo'er's family.
Guard, the mistress is kind-hearted and has been kind to me. I am of low ability, so in the end I could only save Luo'er and escape, but the mistress has been harmed by an adulterer."
Xu Zizhen nodded. It seemed that he had guessed it at first. It was indeed a grudge between wealthy families, but he didn't understand. Why was Li Sheng telling him this?
Li Sheng seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and continued with a smile: "Brother Xu, my so-called senior brother is actually my lord's biological brother. He is good at all kinds of arts and martial arts, but he has long seen through the world of mortals.
Because of the intrigues, I would rather flee to the south of the Yangtze River and convert to Buddhism. I took Luo'er and wandered around. I finally found out where he was, so I went to Suzhou."
He sighed and continued: "Luo'er originally wanted to find her second uncle and ask him to return to secular life to seek justice for herself and her dead mother, but... But when we got there, we found that her second uncle had a serious illness.
As a result, I lost all feeling in my lower body and could only sit paralyzed on the bed."
Xu Zizhen suddenly realized, no wonder he seemed to have heard Li Sheng call Master Jingde Second Master that day, and he had never seen him leave the door from the beginning to the end. So that was what happened.
"Luo'er was disheartened and ran out alone, but was kidnapped by the thieves, and then met your rescue." At this point, Li Sheng glanced at Xu Zizhen apologetically, "Brother Xu, you
But don't be angry. When Luo'er came back that time, she told me that she had thought of a way to take revenge, and that was... to make you her husband-in-law."
Xu Zizhen was obviously taken aback: "Can you avenge her by asking me to be your husband? What does this mean?"
Li Sheng smiled and said: "Brother Xu's poetry competition in the temple fair, winning the first prize in the red sleeves recruitment, redressing the injustice in court, and creating that wonderful mascara. All these deeds show that Brother Xu has great talent and sharp wit. This is how Luo'er came up with this idea.
, I want to invite Brother Xu back to her home. Your talents will be put to good use by her father. In time, you will be able to take control of the power, and then you will have the opportunity for revenge..." He paused and then said, "It's just that later Luo'er met Xu.
Brothers are like raging fire, and they are easy to fight and hateful to hate. But at that time, she had a true love for you and did not want you to fall into a place of intrigues and intrigues."
Xu Zizhen understood everything immediately, and truly understood what Li Luoyan meant when he said that she liked him but could not marry him. Thinking that she was so innocent and kind, and was so affectionate towards him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.
Li Sheng was already at the end of his strength, and it was a miracle that he could hold on until now. His face suddenly flushed, and his energy seemed to be much better. He grabbed Xu Zizhen's palm and said seriously: "Brother, I am saying all this.
I hope you promise me something!"
Xu Zizhen nodded solemnly: "Brother, it's whatever you say."
Li Sheng looked into his eyes and said slowly: "Yu Qi is very skilled. That group of people will definitely not be able to catch up with Luo'er. This time you go to the northwest. If you have the chance to see Luo'er again, I hope you will remember her affection for you."
, take care of her."
Xu Zizhen asked curiously: "What? She is also from Lanzhou?"
Li Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not true."
Xu Zizhen didn't ask any more questions and nodded: "Even if I don't have this instruction from my eldest brother, I will help her if I meet her."
Li Sheng's eyes began to lose focus and his voice became weaker and weaker. However, he held Xu Zizhen's palm tightly in his hand and struggled to look at Li Meng, whose eyes were already red. He said with nostalgia and regret: "In addition, Quan Zi also asked me to help my brother."
Got it!"
Xu Zizhen gritted his teeth tightly, fearing that tears would flow out if he relaxed, so he nodded and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will never let you down!"
Li Sheng slowly raised his hand and touched Li Meng's head, and said with a forced smile: "Xiao Meng, be good, remember to listen to Uncle Xu, don't be naughty, don't..."
His voice became lower and lower, finally stopped, and passed away with a drop of his head.
…
Li Sheng's death made Xu Zizhen very emotional. They were drinking and chatting together in the morning, but in the afternoon they were separated forever.
Xu Zizhen respected Li Sheng and naturally did not want him to live in a foreign land after his death. Together with Li Meng, he cremated his body, picked out the ashes and put them into a box.
Just visit his hometown and bury him properly.
After dealing with this, Xu Zizhen took Li Meng back to the inn. Along the way, he seriously considered the issue of Li Meng's placement. When he went to Lanzhou this time, he would definitely help Mr. Wen resist the Xixia people. The battlefield is ruthless. When the time comes, we will meet with swords.
I'm afraid that my own life is not protected, so how can I take care of a half-year-old child like Li Meng?
While he was thinking about it, Li Meng suddenly spoke: "Uncle Xu, are you going to Lanzhou to fight with Xixia?"
Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Whether there will be a war or not is a national matter, I can't say for sure, but I guess sooner or later we will start a fight with them, what?"
Li Meng gritted his teeth and said seriously and resolutely: "I want to fight Xixia with you!"
Xu Zizhen was startled and shook his head repeatedly: "No, how old are you? You just want to go to the battlefield? How can I explain to your father if something goes wrong?"
Li Meng seemed to have changed since Li Sheng's death. The boy who was a little shy and timid suddenly became taciturn. At this time, even his tone was sonorous and powerful, and he said every word with an attitude that could not be denied: "
