Residential building, balcony!
The coal stove was lit again, and Li Xiong fried a large plate of leeks and eggs to replenish the bodies of the three brothers who were short of cash.
When Tongxuanzi came back, he passed by the medicine shop and brought back some medicinal materials that could nourish the kidneys and blood and strengthen the body. At that time, the power of prescriptions was not yet in the hands of the hospital. After seeing the doctor in the hospital, the patient could take the prescription and buy medicine outside. The price was much cheaper than buying medicine in the hospital. Therefore, in the Shanghai market at this time, many people later All medicinal materials that are not available can be purchased in pharmacies.
Chop the medicinal materials and pour them into the casserole for decoction. Later, Li Xiong's scrambled eggs with chives will be taken over for the second kidney-tonifying course, no, to be precise, the third course.
Li Wuxiang took out a box of medicine from his pocket, took three pills himself, and then gave the rest to Li Xiong and Tong Xuanzi: "Take a few pills first to cushion your stomach."
Li Xiong took the medicine box, glanced at it, and said blankly: "What medicine is this?"
After all, he graduated from junior high school, but he didn't know a word of it.
"This is the most effective kidney-tonifying medicine that I can find in the drugstore. Since taking it, my waist has never hurt." Li Wuxiang introduced: "It's a pity that my dad is not lucky. He is alive. At that time, this medicine had not been developed yet. But my son will definitely be able to take it in the future. It’s called **玿忣壣.”
Li Xiong made a note of it, but didn't remember it, so he ignored it and took three pills, then rubbed his waist and ate scrambled eggs with chives.
"Actually, I've been working for so many years, and I'm not very short of money. You should have told me earlier, and I would just bring enough money." Li Xiong sighed, why is it like this
"But don't mention it, the little fairies are really exciting, more fun than the girls at the hair salon." Li Xiong's face showed an unsatisfied sense of satisfaction.
"Hmph, beauty with withered bones." Tong Xuanzi snorted coldly.
Li Xiong and Li Wuxiang learned Brother Funny's slanted eyes without any teacher.
Tong Xuanzi felt guilty, "What are you looking at?"
"You say no, no, no, but in fact you are the one who lingers the most."
"..." Tong Xuanzi threatened fiercely: "Don't tell anyone what happened tonight."
Usually when others threaten, they will add "otherwise" at the end, but Tong Xuanzi doesn't because he can't always think of how to threaten people.
Among the three people, Tongxuanzi is the most serious and serious, and most Taoist disciples have this kind of virtue. They pay attention to the importance of keeping their expressions unchanged even if Mount Tai collapses in front of them, which is called nourishing qi.
Li Wuxiang is normal, neither serious nor dissolute. He has the shortcomings and advantages that a young man of this age should have.
Li Xiong is the most promiscuous, the skinniest and the least serious.
Most of the time, Li Xiong takes the lead in teasing and teasing Tong Xuanzi, with Li Wuxiang assisting from the side. People with bottom lines are always bullied by two people who lack bottom lines.
"We have been in prostitution together, and we are brothers in the same school. Why don't we become sworn brothers." Li Xiong's businessman spirit is still there, and he always likes to call others brothers.
Li Wuxiang and Tongxuanzi agreed.
It's hard for people later to understand the spirit of those days, and they think things like sworn sworn vows sound half-baked, pretentious, and embarrassing.
There may be middle school students, but it is definitely not pretentious. In Li Xiong's view, from now on, when everyone travels around the world and becomes sworn brothers, it will be a life-changing friendship.
There was no place to buy chickens in the middle of the night. For things like sworn sworn vows, you had to do it on the spot when you felt like it. After a nap, you might lose the energy, so I placed two eggs, a pot of fried leeks, and a A casserole of decoction and a box of kidney-tonifying medicine.
"Hey, wait a minute." Li Xiong suddenly stood up, left a confused sentence, and ran downstairs. He returned a few minutes later with a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand.
"We have to be formal. We can't just have a casual meal and be done with it. Three brothers in one generation must be witnessed by heaven and earth." With that, he let go of the first chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "The Banquet of Three Heroes in Taoyuan".
"I am Li Xiong."
"Li Wuxiang."
"Tongxuanzi."
"Although they have different surnames, they become brothers and work together to travel around the world and rescue those in need. They don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but they just want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day. Emperors, queens, and queens have learned from this heart. They are ungrateful and ungrateful to heaven and man. Let’s kill together!”
Being ungrateful and ungrateful will kill both heaven and man.
After becoming sworn friends, there was a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned who was the boss, but the relationship between the three of them took a step forward invisibly.
"I have an idea, please help me refer to it." Sitting on the balcony drinking, Li Xiong said coldly.
The two looked at him.
"I plan to wear a mask and walk around the world, like the one-armed hero Yang Guo."
"Why?"
"Didn't Tongxuanzi say that if I want to take revenge, it will be difficult for me to sanction the jade handle through the Taoist and Buddhist Association? Then I have to find a way to take revenge myself. Wearing a mask will not reveal my identity, so I don't have to worry about the Taoist and Buddhist Association investigating. Come here." Although Li Xiong is not serious on the surface, he has been in the world of rivers and lakes, has experience and intelligence, and has long considered the consequences.
"Then just go to the door and I'll help you." Li Wuxiang said.
"It's best to try to talk to the branch of the Taoist and Buddhist Association first." Tongxuanzi suggested: "As a person and work, the most taboo thing is to punish someone without teaching."
"I feel that my cultivation speed is not enough. I can't even beat you." Li Xiong looked very discouraged.
"..." Li Wuxiang and Tong Xuanzi looked at each other and said in unison: "Are you drifting?"
A young man who had just awakened for half a year was so arrogant and wanted to catch up with geniuses like them who had been cultivating since childhood.
"You have only awakened for half a year, and I have been practicing Qi since I was five years old." Tong Xuanzi said.
"I started practicing Qi when I was three years old." Li Wuxiang said.
"You told me before that your grandma found your mother and son when you were nine years old," Tongxuanzi said.
"Have it?"
"A few years ago, your mother wanted to remarry, but your grandma didn't allow it, so she hung her up for a day and a night. One day, your mother ran away while she wasn't paying attention."
"... I don't care, anyway, I started practicing Qi when I was three years old."
"Then I started when I was two years old." Tong Xuanzi changed his words.
"I started when I was one year old." Li Wuxiang refused to be outdone.
"It started when I was still in my mother's womb."
"I started practicing Qi even before my mother was pregnant."
"How do you practice?"
"My dad practices for me."
Tong Xuanzi was stunned. He couldn't find anything to say in reply, so he drank in silence.
"Then I won't be able to catch up with you two." Li Xiong felt a little regretful, "But my son will definitely be able to catch up in the future."
Li Xiong and Ping Ping have been very close to each other recently. Some time ago, the two of them secretly completed some dirty and dirty things between men and women at Li Xiong's house.
According to Li Xiong's idea, when he makes some more money, he will take Pingping home and have a wife and children, so he has been talking about his son recently.
Tong Xuanzi and Li Wuxiang "sneered" to express their disdain.
Pingping is not a blood descendant. It would be good for your future son to be able to find out his sense of strength in half a year. But he wants to catch up with us in half a year
The Qingshi in Tongxuanzi's body buzzed with a smile: "If you think my increase is not enough and want to achieve it quickly, there is nothing you can do."
Li Xiong hurriedly asked: "What can I do?"
"Taking supplements."
"never mind."
Pingping almost died from taking tonic, and his three younger brothers were killed because of it. Li Xiong hated the tonic people the most in his life. Except for the kind-hearted fairies in the club.
"Yingwan."
"What is a baby pill?"
Tong Xuanzi's face darkened, "Yingwan is an elixir made from babies, and it is for fetuses that are no more than six months old or more than six months pregnant. In Taoism, it is also called Zhoutian Jindan. After the fetus is six months old, It will condense the innate energy, which will dissipate after six months of birth, so a normal baby will not get sick in the first six months after birth."
Li Wuxiang warned: "Grandma Grandma told me that cultivation is not just about Qi, but also about mind. Don't go astray, otherwise Tongxuanzi and I will kill you with our own hands."
Li Xiong rolled his eyes: "Normally speaking, once the protagonist enters the devil's path, God will kill God if he blocks it, and Buddha will kill Buddha if he blocks Buddha."
Li Wuxiang was dissatisfied: "Obviously it's me, the unparalleled fighting spirit, who is the protagonist."
Li Xiong retorted: "Don't make blind comparisons. It's clear that my life experiences are more like the protagonist."
Tongxuanzi analyzed: "Theoretically speaking, monks are more likely to be the protagonists."
The two little plums sighed: "Which martial arts novel has a monk as the protagonist?"
Tongxuanzi said dissatisfiedly: "Do you have any objections to monks?"
"Would you like to have a fight?"
"Come on, who is afraid of whom?"
"Fighting hurts the peace. Let's stand on the rooftop and take a pee. Whoever pees farthest will be the protagonist."
"Li Wuxiang, you can go away, I still want to continue living here."
They didn't start a fight because they were afraid the building would be demolished. They have the ability. Peeing is so immoral that I don’t even think about doing it.
Li Wuxiang drank too much and sat on the rooftop, unable to help but think of the past.
When he was nine years old, on that misty and rainy afternoon, he saw a girl holding a black umbrella walking on the muddy path outside the village. She was plain white, with plain white wrists, and her canvas shoes were stained with mud.
He stroked his head and said, "From today on, your name will be changed to Li Wuxiang."
The reason was that he thought his original name was too ugly.
At that moment, he opened the gate of heaven.
That day was the first time he met his grandmother, and at the same time he brought back the news that his father was dead.
My mother became a widow. After a few years of persistence, she couldn't bear the loneliness and ran away from her sweetheart, taking away the large savings left by her father.
They had planned ahead, bought train tickets, and ran from Shanghai to Guangdong Province, a total of 1,500 kilometers. In this era, they traveled to the ends of the earth where no one could find them.
Li Wuxiang was afraid that his grandma would kill his mother, so he tried to stop her, but was slapped unconscious by the furious grandma. When he woke up the next morning, he saw his grandma who was in the dust of the world.
He originally thought that his mother and the man were dead, but who would have thought otherwise, his grandmother just recovered his father's bankbook.
"If it had been fifty years earlier, I would have slapped them both to death. If you can't stay a widow...that's it. A woman who abandons her family and son will deserve to die."
Li Wuxiang suddenly understood that his grandmother actually knew that his mother was in love, and she tolerated it.
After that time, Li Wuxiang realized that his grandmother was actually not happy. The endless life did not bring her happiness, but helplessness and compromise.
She was forced to change her outlook on life again and again by the trend of the times, which was undoubtedly the most painful thing for an adult with stable outlook on life.
It means that many things that you cannot tolerate and cannot agree with can happen openly around you, and you cannot stop them, otherwise you will be condemned by society.
Li Wuxiang didn't care how his mother and that man were getting along, and he hoped that the woman would stop coming to him.
Before his death, his father left a deposit that was enough for them to live a prosperous life. That man was willing to take his mother across a land of 1,500 kilometers to live in an unfamiliar place. Without that deposit Because, Li Wuxiang didn't believe it.
After grandma got the money back, life for mother and that man would not be much better.
Time flies by. One and a half years have passed. It has been two years since Tongxuanzi came to Shanghai. The three of them have practiced together with the young master, performing chivalrous acts in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, eliminating evil spirits, killing aliens, and killing blood descendants. Li Xiong He always wears a silk stocking hood, Sun Wukong mask, Zhu Bajie mask... and has never revealed his true appearance and identity to the outside world.
... ..
The sound of the door opening drew Li Xianyu's attention away from the diary, and he frowned.
"Did I bother you?" Thunder Warrior Ji saw his frowning and irritable expression, fearing to make him unhappy, so she stood timidly at the door: "I thought you were fine, so I didn't knock on the door."
"Then what if I'm doing something shy and you come in without knocking and bump into me, wouldn't it be embarrassing?" Li Xianyu asked.
"What do you mean by this? Are you implying that you want me to help you in the future?" Thunder Warrior Ji showed a vigilant expression.
"What's the matter?" Li Xianyu asked.
"The Dharma King just called and wants to talk to you about the Shangqing Sect."
"What's wrong with the Shangqing sect?"
Thunder Warrior Ji hesitated for a moment and whispered: "It's Tong Xuanzi's fault. I'm afraid that you will implicate the Shangqing Sect and bring grandma into trouble."
Baoze used to be the boss in name only, but now he has become more deserving of his title. For those vampire organizations that are recorded and obey the control, Baoze is theoretically their protective umbrella.
Baoze may not do this duty of protection, but it cannot turn from a protective umbrella into a hailstone that can kill people. Li Xianyu is an important employee of Baoze, so he cannot persecute a blood organization that is willing to obey the rules without a reason.
"I'm not going to get involved." Li Xianyu lowered his head and continued to read the diary.
If he were six or seven years younger and Li Xianyu was still in the second grade of middle school, he would definitely have slaughtered the entire Shangqing sect. Now that I am older and have experienced so many things, my mentality cannot be considered peaceful, but at least I can tell you that Tongxuanzi is dead, and this matter has nothing to do with the Shangqing faction.
If it were the case of the Demon Dao, and the Shangqing Sect protected Cao Jun like the Cao family, then he wouldn't mind turning the cave heaven and earth upside down.
Thunder Warrior stepped on those expensive white women's leather boots, walked in a few steps, stopped at the desk, kept glancing at the diary, and tentatively said: "I, can I read it together... ..”
"Um."
This short word made her a little happy.
His adoptive father's diary must contain some very private past events. He was willing to show it to himself, which showed that he did not treat her as an outsider.
So with that little bit of happiness in mind, I stood next to Li Xianyu, bent down, with my hands on my knees, and watched with him.
Lei Zhanji did not ask Li Xianyu to give up his seat to her as his girlfriend. She was simply too ignorant to have such a pretentious woman in front of her son who had recently lost his adoptive father and was looking through his diary to reminisce about the past.
Thunder Warrior Ji looked at it for a while, then stepped back with a blushing face: "Your dad...how could you write such a thing."
The plot entered a straightforward daily routine. The adoptive father probably felt that there was nothing to write about during this period, so he focused on describing their second experience of going to that nightclub.
"I don't want to watch anymore." Thunder Warrior Ji thought that she was a young girl, and it was so shameless to watch this kind of thing with her boyfriend.
"Go." Li Xianyu nodded and watched her fluttering dress leave the bedroom.
... ...
"After the sworn vows that day, Li Wuxiang went home and fell seriously ill. He recuperated for several days before recovering. Afterwards, under the coercion of his grandma, he revealed the affair in the nightclub, so he was hung up and beaten for a day and night, and he stayed in bed for a week to recuperate."
"The dance hall was not open. Li Wuxiang followed others to trade stocks and lost 150,000. He was hung up and beaten by his grandmother for three days and three nights. He was bedridden for half a month to recover."
"I found a way to make a fortune by selling pirated optical discs. After being introduced by friends on the road, I found a purchasing channel in Zhuhai. There is a huge market for pirated optical discs in Shanghai. The sales are very good."
"Wuxiang looks down on this kind of small business and doesn't want to work with me. He sells BB machines."
"Both BB players and pirated optical discs are promising businesses. Twenty years from now, I will become the leader in the optical disc industry, and he will become the big brother in the BB player industry."
"Compact discs will be immortal, and BB players will be immortal."
"Something big happened. Tongxuanzi was injured by the Wushuang War Spirit. Li Wuxiang was punished by kneeling in the yard for three days. Tongxuanzi came to me to say goodbye. He is going back to the mountain."
... ...
"What's going on? Why did she hit you? Wuxiang is still kneeling now?"
On the rooftop of a residential building, Li Xiong and Tong Xuanzi sat side by side, with wound medicine boiling in the coal stove behind them. Tong Xuanzi's nose was bruised and his face was swollen. The external injuries were not serious, but the internal injuries were quite serious.
"She knows. She knows that Li Wuxiang has been hanging out with me in the past two years. Well, she said we were hanging out." Tong Xuanzi laughed at himself.
Li Xiong looked at him and felt that this man suddenly lost his previous confidence and indifference. His eyes were dim and his face was depressed, with a hint of unwillingness and sadness.
"what happened?"
Instinct told him that this matter was not simple. Logically speaking, Tongxuanzi and Li Wuxiang were cousins, and Li Wuxiang's grandma was also Tongxuanzi's grandma. However, it sounded as if Wushuang War Spirit hated Tongxuanzi. Just because two people got together, they got angry, beat one, and punished the other by kneeling.
It is said that Li Wuxiang was just punished by kneeling, but Grandma Li's family had a biased mind.
It's a tragedy. I have been recuperating at home for a few days and I feel a little bored. Today I ran out for a while and wandered around for a while. When I came back, I felt dizzy and weak and suffered from heat stroke. Sitting in front of the computer and typing, my brain feels dizzy. I was not like this before. I was able to do it before. I couldn't believe I had heatstroke. Once a man reaches eighteen, his body is no longer what it used to be. Why.
