Chapter 33 Quan Fu
Chapter 33 Quan Fu
The last time Li Quanqing came to his uncle's house, it was still crowded with guests, and the gate was filled with relatives who came to give gifts.
Now it is deserted.
To be precise, even the sparrows would dislike this house. There is a web on the plaque, the stone door is half-closed, and the courtyard is covered with lush grass.
"Bad luck! Bad luck!"
An old man passed by with his grandson. He spat at the courtyard wall with a "Puh" sound, his eyes full of disgust.
Immortal cultivators have very good memories and can remember everything they see.
Li Quanqing remembered this old guy. Last time, it was him who held gifts and waited respectfully in line outside his uncle's house.
She even looked at his big bluefish with disdain, thinking it was an inadequate gift.
I didn’t expect that times have changed and people’s minds have changed!
"Meet the adults!"
When Lao Deng saw the robe on his body, his eyes lit up immediately. He hurriedly pulled his grandson to bend over and trot over: "Qian'er, why don't you quickly salute this master weapon refiner!"
Li Quanqing shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to him, pushed open the half-open door and walked straight in.
The old man was left behind with a look of surprise on his face, while the ignorant child was happily catching crickets in the weeds.
……
Li Quanqing walked in the cave. The stone steps were overgrown with weeds, and the cave looked dilapidated and run-down.
My aunt is such a hardworking person, but she doesn't even have the time to take care of her own home. It is obvious that something big has really happened.
Li Quanzhu was standing by the garden pond, scooping up some algae. When he saw him, he snorted, "Why are you here?"
"Look at your father, and look at you too."
"You're here to see the joke!"
Li Quanzhu spoke with some sarcasm, but he still led the way.
Along the way, both of them were silent.
"Please teach me how to raise jade carp."
Li Quanzhu suddenly spoke, with his head lowered, his voice muffled, and he kept kicking the pebbles on the road with his feet.
Li Quanqing was surprised. He didn't expect this kid to say something like this: "You don't want to learn refining anymore?"
"I don't have spirit stones or resources, and my father won't let me learn."
The boy turned his face away, aggrieved, tears welling up in his eyes, full of reluctance: "Besides, my mother is too tired, I want to help her."
Li Quanqing thought for a moment and told the truth: "Your father is planning to sell the fish pond. Even if you want to be a fisherman, I'm afraid you don't have the conditions to do so."
Li Quanzhu stood there in a daze. He suddenly felt as if the sky was falling and his future life was bleak.
"Qing'er, you're here..."
When Li Quanqing saw his aunt, he felt that she seemed to be 20 or 30 years older, and her brows were full of fatigue.
Li Yurou looked at the green jade carp in her nephew's hand and wanted to refuse, but then she thought about the current situation at home.
The woman opened her mouth, but finally took over: "Go see your uncle first."
Li Yuheng was drinking at this time and looked quite happy. He hummed a little tune and threw peanuts into his mouth while drinking.
"Dad, I...my senior brother Quan Qing is here to see you."
Li Quanzhu shouted while shrinking his neck, hesitating and with a hint of fear on his face.
"Tsk! What is this kid doing here? He must have bad intentions."
Li Yuheng sneered, did not stand up to greet the guest, and continued to sit there eating and drinking.
"uncle."
Li Quanqing shouted with a perfunctory smile on his face.
He glanced at the man's empty sleeves. His left arm was broken at the root, which damaged his foundation. There was no hope of breaking through the foundation in this lifetime.
"You, you have actually become a weapon refiner, and have reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. This is incredible, incredible!"
"As expected of the eldest sister's child!"
Li Yuheng looked as if he had seen through you: "Why did you choose this time, not earlier? Do you want that fish pond too?"
Li Quanzhu, who was standing next to him, looked even gloomier when he heard this, and he couldn't help but clench his clothes tightly with his hands.
"After all, this is the legacy passed down from our ancestors. If it falls into the hands of others, it will just make people laugh at it."
Li Quanqing is an open and frank person who always speaks his mind. He is ready to bleed heavily.
"What a pity, what a pity!"
Li Yuheng drank and chewed his food, making smacking sounds in his mouth: "If I had known you were coming, I would have waited before selling it. The highest bidder wins!"
"You sold our fish pond?!"
Even more excited than Li Quanqing was the aunt who just walked in. The woman's eyes suddenly turned red, and she rushed forward like a mother animal protecting her cub, baring her teeth and claws: "That's what our Quanzhu will use for refining weapons and practicing in the future. How...how could you sell it? Wuwuwu..."
"What a noisy woman! I can sell my stuff if I want! Do I need to discuss this with a woman like you?"
Li Yuheng's expression suddenly became impatient, his magical power surged, he overturned the cups on the table, and pushed his aunt to the ground.
Li Quanzhu, who was standing next to him, rushed forward to help his mother and was also slapped twice.
"enough!"
Zheng! !
The sword rang loudly, and a sword light suddenly flew out from Li Quanqing's sleeve, and in the blink of an eye it flew around Li Yuheng's neck several times.
In the end, the Qingli sword was suspended just an inch in front of the man's eyes, and the Gengjin sword light was flickering, full of murderous intent.
"You're going too far. Who did you sell the fish pond to in the end?"
Li Quanqing looked at him coldly and pressed the issue.
The sword light was like a star, touching the center of the eyebrows, and a bone-chilling chill enveloped the whole body.
Li Yuheng was so scared that he was sweating profusely. His lips trembled. He wanted to scold his nephew, but he finally backed off and said angrily, "Two thousand spirit stones were sold to that old man Li Kunshui."
Li Kunshui?
The image of the old man who smoked his pipe, always smiled at everyone he saw, and made money with kindness immediately emerged in Li Quanqing's mind.
This is a bit tricky.
"Bully the weak and fear the strong, take care of yourself!"
Li Quanqing took one last look at his uncle, then turned away with a cold snort.
In the end, it was Li Quanzhu who sent him out the door, and a red slap left on his face, burning with pain.
The boy stared at his toes, tears finally flowing down his cheeks, and he stammered, "Thank... Thank you, brother!!"
Li Quanqing looked at the fifteen-year-old child in front of him, without saying much, but just patted the other's shoulder.
"It's time to grow up, Quanzhu."
He took out a booklet which contained his experiences in fish farming.
Even if you don’t have your own fish pond, you can rent one and work as a fisherman for the big fish pond owners to save up spirit stones.
Determination cannot be expressed by a few words, but must be proven by facts.
I hope this cousin can really prove his determination with practical actions.
Li Quanqing waved goodbye, indicating that there was no need to see him off.
……
A bright moon rises over the sea, and a jade hook hangs in the blue sky.
It was getting late and Li Quanqing was too lazy to go back to the fish pond.
As he walked on the bluestone road on his way home, he became angrier and angrier, and finally he couldn't help but burst into cursing.
Once you have expressed all the frustration in your heart, you will arrive home.
What he didn't expect was that there were two people standing at his doorstep amidst the swaying shadows of the trees, and they seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Sparks flickered under the tree like flickering fireflies, and penetrated into the nose along with a faint smell of tobacco.
Li Quanqing had an idea and called out uncertainly, "Nineteenth Uncle?"
"Hey~ Qing Ge'er is finally back!"
The man in the darkness laughed, his voice was old, and he walked into the moonlight, and it was the Li Kunshui he had been thinking about.
Behind the old man, there was a plump young man with a round face, wearing a khaki Taoist robe, looking honest and shrewd.
It was getting late and the dew was heavy. The clothes of both of them were soaked, which showed that they had been standing here for quite some time.
"It's chilly and humid in spring, uncle, come with me into the house!"
Li Quanqing spoke quickly.
"No trouble, no trouble!"
"The old man heard that Qing Ge'er had become the family's weapon refiner, so he specially prepared a gift for him. He will leave after giving it to him. It won't be a problem."
Li Kunshui smiled and knocked the round-faced boy's head with his pipe, making a tapping sound:
"Quanfu, why don't you take out the gift and let your cousin take a look and see if he is satisfied with it?"
I revised it again and again. The family portrait is not easy to write. I feel it is just average. My literary youth disease comes back again. Alas.
I'm so stupid! (Bald)(Bald)(Bald)
