Three years have passed since this incident, and it has naturally been forgotten by people. Now that the old servant mentioned it, people naturally remembered it. After hearing this, Young Master Zhao immediately thought of that past incident, and his face suddenly turned pale. The man took a few big steps back.
Li Lihou calmly supported Mr. Zhao, who shouted: "I'm so heartbroken..." and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
After all, the old man of the Zhao family felt sorry for his son. When he saw this, he looked at Lao Li worriedly, but Lao Li said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of anger. This blood can be considered the price of his stubbornness."
Seeing what Lao Li said, the old man of the Zhao family was relieved a lot. Lao Li walked up to the young master of the Zhao family and said, "You don't have to feel sad. Everything is just the moon in the mirror and flowers in the water. If it wants to confuse you, it will naturally do it." Everything is to your liking, and you will naturally let go of it after the relationship is over."
After Young Master Zhao spit out the blood, he seemed to wake up a lot. He nodded, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said a little lonely: "Thank you, Master Li."
Lao Li nodded and didn't say much. At this moment, people started exclaiming again. Sure enough, as Lao Li said, the big weasel stumbled back.
The same scene reappeared, it ran into the rune and circled around in it, unable to get out.
Lao Li stepped forward and tied up the weasel with several feet of red rope, and finally tied a knot on the back of its head. What was surprising was that after Lao Li did all this, the weasel actually behaved like a kitten. Yes, trembling all over, but not daring to resist at all.
After tying up the weasel, Lao Li Youjiao wiped several places on the rune seemingly casually. At this time, people saw that the weasel could actually walk out of the rune, and they couldn't help but exclaimed and took a few steps back.
But he didn't expect that after the weasel came out, he walked back obediently, lying on the ground, lowering his head, looking submissive.
This is strange. Which of these wild animals is not unruly? Not to mention becoming a sperm? Besides, although Lao Li tied up the weasel, he tied it in a knot without tying his limbs or blindfolding his eyes. Why is this weasel so honest
"The matter has been resolved. It's up to Mr. Zhao how you deal with the weasel. After all, the biggest cause and effect is the relationship between you and it." After saying that, Lao Li stood aside calmly.
People were silent, looking at the weasel lying obediently in the courtyard. They never thought that this was the guy who had made the Zhao family sleepless for a year, but no one dared to kill it easily. So many things had happened. Son, people are inexplicably more in awe of things like weasels.
In the countryside, there are many legends about weasels, and people have heard them more or less, but seeing them with your own eyes and experiencing them in person always makes you feel different.
At this time, Mr. Zhao looked at the weasel with a complicated expression. From his eyes, people could tell that Mr. Zhao finally woke up. The crazy Mr. Zhao had disappeared. The polite and generally polite Mr. Zhao had disappeared. The reasonable Mr. Zhao is back again.
Before Mr. Zhao could say anything, Mrs. Zhao spoke first: "My son, I think you should let it go. This weasel is not heinous. Although the Zhao family has been disturbed by it this year, But it can be divided into right and wrong. If you think about it, I said a good word for it that day, and the fact that it has not harmed me this year is proof."
"That's right. It didn't pinch my neck harshly that night, otherwise how could I have struggled? And it was only this time." Mr. Zhao was also full of compassion at this time.
"Yes, brother, it just scares me and occasionally hits me in my dreams. After all, you almost killed it in the first place." The Zhao girl also persuaded me.
Mr. Zhao let out a long sigh, bowed to Old Li, and then said, "Master Li, please tell it that as long as it doesn't cause trouble to my family in the future, let this matter go."
"Hahaha..." Lao Li, who had always laughed casually, laughed loudly at this time. After he finished laughing, he said: "It turned out to be a good fruit. It's really beyond my expectation. In fact, you don't have to tell me, and I don't either." I want to take its life, so I just want to see if people will be enlightened and awed by this incident. The result is really gratifying. After all, it is not easy to practice, let alone the practice of mountain spirits and wild monsters? Which one? It’s not just a stroke of luck that made me reach this point.”
As he said that, Old Li walked up to the weasel and said, "Do you know where you went wrong? You have too much emphasis on right and wrong, and flaws must be reported. Such a mentality lacks a sense of indifference and openness. How can you seek positive results? Besides, there is cause and effect. Because of you, you can’t look down on the domestic animals that are like fools in your eyes just because you have achieved success in practice. Don’t be like that before you started to practice! Besides, the chickens and dogs of the Zhao family are all influenced by the Zhao family. Nurturing is fundamentally different from finding food in the wild, do you understand?"
Unexpectedly, after what Lao Li said, the weasel's eyes filled with tears and looked grateful. I don't know what it realized from Lao Li's words, or whether it was grateful to Lao Li for not taking its life.
"Mr. Zhao, do you know that those two sticks of yours almost destroyed its century-old practice? The stinky smell it released at the end, if I am right, is its life-saving trick. It will cost you a lot to use it. I can't say it is. With the power of hard training, can it not hate you?" Lao Li turned to Mr. Zhao again and said.
Mr. Zhao nodded repeatedly, and at the same time looked at his family with a guilty look on his face, thinking he felt guilty for causing trouble to his family.
"The same goes for you. You originally lost your skills and it took ten years of hard work to recover them all. Looking at you like this, you are more powerful. You must have another opportunity. In this case, why bother to take revenge? After all, you have been a blessing in disguise, so you should be grateful. God has mercy on you." Lao Li said to the weasel again.
As soon as he finished speaking, the weasel stood up and bowed to the Zhao family one after another, presumably realizing his paranoia.
"Let me ask you, are you still entangled with the Zhao family? It's useless for you to lie in front of me! If you still have this intention, even if you get the result in the future, it won't be the right result. Although I think it's not easy for you to practice, I won't get it. Your life, but you will inevitably lose all your skills." As he said that, Lao Li took out a mahogany sword from the package he carried, pointed it straight at the weasel, and pinched the sword finger with his other hand. The person's momentum suddenly increased.
The weasel was trembling all over, looking at Lao Li with tears in his eyes, but the tip of his mouth kept moving, as if he was talking.
After a while, Lao Li suddenly put away the peach wood sword and said: "Okay, I know you didn't lie to me. Even if you lied to me today, you should know that in the path of cultivation, you have made a heavy oath and violated the right rules." What consequences!”
Lao Li, who put away his mahogany sword and lost its fingers, returned to the look of an old farmer. He looked at the Zhao family and said, "It said let this matter go. I swore a solemn oath that I would never do it again." It will not pester anyone from the Zhao family again, and will only practice with peace of mind. In addition, it thanks you for interceding for it, saying that if it gets the right fruit in the future, it will sincerely wish your family well. What do you mean? If you think this is the case, you will be satisfied. , I will open the knot that locks its power now, and forget about this matter."
Mr. Zhao stepped forward and said, "Since Master Li said this was a good outcome, of course he will end it accordingly. Even if it doesn't wish our family anything or thank us for anything, we will let it go."
"Hahaha... That's good. Who said that I am a Taoist who saves myself but not others? The good results this time are really heart-warming." Lao Li laughed in a free and uninhibited way, and while laughing and talking, he had already After untying the knot, the weasel bowed one last time and hurriedly disappeared into the night.
This farce, which was originally going to be endless, could achieve such a result, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
After a while, people dispersed. The Zhao family invited Lao Li and, of course, my master into the main room. After all, Lao Li didn't say anything about avoiding my master, so they naturally wouldn't drive him away.
After entering the main room, Mrs. Zhao ordered her servants to serve tea and cakes, and then Lao Li started chatting wordlessly, but at this time, Mrs. Zhao was alone.
Others didn't know what Mr. Zhao was doing drinking tea and chatting so late at night, but they were the host after all, so it was hard to say anything.
After a while, Mrs. Zhao came, holding a small box in her hand, and handed it to Mrs. Zhao.
Mr. Zhao held the box and bowed to Lao Li first, then respectfully handed the box to Lao Li and opened it.
Inside the box were five neat tubes of silver dollars, wrapped in red paper, and some gold and silver jewelry. Anyway, that was money that a poor family would never earn in a lifetime.
You know, the purchasing power of silver dollars at that time was amazing, not to mention that 5 tubes of silver dollars were 500 pieces, not to mention some jewelry.
"Master Li, I heard from my cousin that if you don't have more than two 'little yellow croakers' in the city, you won't take action, no matter how small it is, even if it's just a word of approval for someone. You saved me this time." My family's wealth and life, no amount of money is actually enough to express my gratitude, but in our rural area, we can't compare with the nobles in the city. I have put all my family's efforts into this money. If it is not enough, I will give it to you. After selling this ancestral house, I have to pay Master Li." Mr. Zhao said respectfully, looking a little uneasy. He was really afraid that it was not enough. What is a little yellow croaker? That's a gold bar! And it is a gold bar weighing one pound, which is far beyond what these silver dollars can compare with, not to mention the starting price of 2 bars!
Lao Li didn't speak, he just opened a tube of silver coins with a calm expression, took out two coins and weighed them in his hands, blew another breath, put them to his ears and listened, and then put the two silver coins in In my arms.
"This matter is a good thing for your family and that weasel. Good things come in pairs, so I will charge you 2 silver dollars. If nothing happens, I will take my apprentices to rest. ." With that said, Lao Li stood up and prepared to walk out.
Naturally, my three masters also followed.
"Master Li, we are sincere." Old Mrs. Zhao was terrified.
"I have inquired about it. Your family has done a lot of good deeds in the village, and you have expressed enough goodwill towards things today. This is the fruit of your good deeds. Two silver dollars are enough." After saying this, Lao Li laughed a few times. , walked away very chicly.
