Chapter 898: A strange conversation between father and son
The sunny weather was perfect for eating, sleeping and beating children. Li Yuan was soon caught and given a good beating.
But Li Dagui was a man with a tough mouth but a soft heart. He killed the enemies on the battlefield without mercy, but when he saw his son being beaten and crying, he could not help but stop.
Although the child is playful and naughty, he has never done anything wrong since he was young. He is still young and can still be shaped...
"Do you know why your father beat you?"
Although he felt relieved, Li Dagui's face was serious and angry as he questioned his son.
Li Yuan covered his buttocks and cried bitterly. He was really beaten badly.
"Yes, because the child has learned to lie."
The young Li Yuan pouted and looked pitifully at his mother who was standing beside him without saying a word.
Seeing her son frowning and looking in pain, Mrs. Li felt very sorry for him, but thinking that the child was too lively and was showing signs of being out of control, she tried to keep a straight face.
"You little brat, you have to know that lies are the sharpest weapons in the world, thousands of times more terrifying than swords!"
"If you tell a little lie to deceive your family now, you might harm innocent people in the future. Then your life will be ruined, and it will also ruin the reputation of my entire Li family!"
"Now, tell me in detail why you lied to your mother."
Li Dagui held down his son and showed no sign of giving up.
He didn't ask who taught Li Yuan to lie, he just wanted to know why the child lied.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan stared at him with his eyes wide open, "Dad, what you are asking is... Didn't I lie just to avoid being beaten? Is there any other reason?"
Seeing his indifferent look, Li Dagui became furious. A lot of words came to his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Did he want to ask whether the child should escape from being beaten or not? He wanted to know why the child chose to lie when telling the truth would not lead to any consequences!
Perhaps the father was born with a bad tongue. He could command thousands of troops in the tent, but he could only stare blankly at his own rebellious child. He was so angry that he caught Li Yuan and beat him hard. The Li family compound was suddenly filled with ghosts and wolves howling for a long time...
......
The territory of Xiyuan Town, outside the main city.
Next to a wide river.
Father and son sat side by side, swinging their rods and fishing.
“Fishermen must be patient.”
Li Dagui's face was full of mystery. Although he was a warrior and had not received much education, he still tried to teach his children some life lessons.
However, Li Yuandong next to him looked around without saying a word. Suddenly, he frowned and dived into the river, scaring Li Dagui so much that his face turned pale.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Son, daddy just beat you up, you won't jump into the river, right?"
Looking at the endlessly flowing river, Li Dagui looked sad. He sighed and was about to dive into the river.
Just when Li Dagui was about to jump into the river, Li Yuan emerged from the river again, walked step by step to the shore, his body covered with wet mud.
Before Li Dagui could even speak, Li Yuan dragged a figure out of the river and sat down by the river, panting.
Saving lives is really too difficult for an eight-year-old child.
Li Dagui frowned: "Yuan'er, you..."
He was not a stupid person and immediately guessed part of the situation.
Li Yuan also wiped his tender little face, not caring at all about getting mud on his face.
"Lies are the most dangerous weapon in the world, but sometimes they are just a means to avoid trouble."
"I don't want my mother to worry and ask questions, otherwise, it might end up hurting these people..."
He still looked childish, but when Li Yuan looked up at his father in this life, his pair of pure eyes seemed to hide an unfathomable depth.
Li Dagui stared at the figure who was dragged ashore and found that the other person was dressed in black, with a scarf tightly covering his face, and looked as if he was afraid to be seen in public.
The other party's identity might not be simple, which aroused the vigilance of Li Dagui, a general, but he was more worried about his son's situation.
"Yuan'er, you are just a child...how can you know underwater martial arts? And...you can even drag a grown man to shore?"
He originally wanted to use fishing as an excuse to get closer to his son, but Li Dagui seemed to have discovered some incredible secret.
I think my son, who was innocent and naive, is different from ordinary people...
Facing his father's surprised inquiry, Li Yuan shrugged naturally:
"I don't know how to do underwater kung fu. It's this great river that supports me."
"I didn't have the strength to drag an adult to shore, it was the river water and the fish that helped me."
Li Dagui was even more shocked. As an ordinary person, how could he understand such remarks? He couldn't help but put his hand on Li Yuan's forehead: "Son, you are not dizzy from the fever!"
At this moment, the man in black who was rescued to the shore vomited a few mouthfuls of water and slowly woke up.
"No need to say anything. Go south from now on. Your organization is in the south."
"You don't need to repay this favor. The people you saved are the best reward."
Li Yuan spoke first, stopping the man in black from speaking and also stopping Li Dagui's questioning.
As a general guarding a place, Li Dagui naturally did not want to let go of suspicious people, but he was still stopped by Li Yuan.
The man in black had a complicated expression on his face. He saluted towards Li Yuan and Li Dagui, then turned around and disappeared into the mountains and forests with a few leaps. Although it was not a method of practicing Taoism, it was also a pretty good martial art among the mortal world.
"Dad, don't worry. They are not bad people. They will not cause unrest in the country, nor will they endanger the territory of Xiyuan Town."
Li Dagui frowned and said, "Kid, how do you know they are not bad people..."
"I just know. The sky and the earth, the mountains and the river, and the fish in the river, they told me."
Li Yuan has a childish face, delicate and handsome features, but there is a hint of confidence in his words.
Li Dagui could no longer tolerate his son's mature appearance and slapped Li Yuan on the butt.
"You are talking nonsense, come home with me!"
Li Dagui received a lot of information today. Whether it was his son's strange condition or the inexplicable appearance of the black-clad organization, they were all things he needed to pay special attention to.
"Dad, don't worry. They are just kind-hearted people who rob the rich to help the poor. They are deliberately attacked by some corrupt officials. That's why people are desperate and fall into the river to survive. We will not be involved."
"To be honest, many people in Xiyuan Town have also secretly received their kindness."
"As long as we don't delve into the relationship, there won't be any trouble."
Seeing his old father so worried, Li Yuan couldn't help but speak.
"Shut up and come back with me first..."
"From now on, don't risk your life to save others. You are just a child, this is not what you should do! If something happens to you, your mother and I... Oh!"
Li Dagui frowned, and suddenly pulled Li Yuan into his arms, and couldn't help but spank him a few times.
What should have been a harmonious conversation between father and son suddenly became strange. Li Dagui felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't understand what his son said, so he quickly took him back.
When they returned to the courtyard, Mrs. Li was waiting at the door as usual. Seeing Li Yuan and Li Dagui coming back covered in mud, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Husband!"
"How come you got him covered in mud when you took him out..."
Li Dagui glanced at himself, his robe also stained with mud, and could not help but glare at his son.
"It's okay to have some fun with him, no problem..."
