Chapter 107 The Valley is Full of Fragrance
"Brother, you are not loyal!"
When Li Tai returned to Huazhou after a stroll in Lishan Mountain, he saw several Feng Zheng standing in front of the front hall with sad and angry faces as soon as he entered his house, staring at him with resentful eyes.
"Why are you back in the city? If you are not with your uncle in the countryside, isn't he lonely?"
Li Tai asked with a smile knowing what he was asking. After hearing this, Shuofeng became even more sad and angry, staggering over with a bulging belly: "Brother, do you know how I survived these days? Every morning and evening, I have to be ordered to do evil things by that evil lady." The servants spanked me, and they wrapped the stick with brocade, but I couldn't see it when I was beaten!
When I returned home this morning, my mother saw that my buttocks were still fair, and she scolded me for running away because I was tired of studying. I really had nowhere to go, so I had to take refuge at the Taiwei's house! That evil lady has already said that if I don’t come back for a day, she won’t stop beating me..."
"Then what do you want from me? Come back to avenge me?"
Li Tai heard what he said was miserable, and even called the goddess an evil lady. The licking dog had licked the caltrops, and he felt that this boy was really pitiful.
"Revenge, you must take revenge!"
Shuofeng nodded repeatedly, while rubbing his butt, shaking his head and sighing: "I was so young and ignorant before that I thought she was some kind lady. I was so blind! Uncle, he didn't treat me well, he only protected me. As a daughter of my own, I can only rely on my brother now..."
Seeing that this boy was almost tortured out of his childhood, Li Tai also felt that Dugu trusted his daughter a little too much, so he patted him on the shoulder and said sternly: "Wait for me a moment, I will bid farewell to Taiwei Gong, and we will go back to our hometown!"
He entered the main hall and spoke to Gao Zhongmi, took the sword given by Yu Wenhu, and went out to greet everyone back home.
"Brother, where did you get this precious sword? It's really eye-catching!"
When Suifeng saw the sword on his waist, he immediately forgot about the pain in his buttocks and came up to touch the scabbard and admired it.
After hearing this, Li Tai also drew his sword to show off to him. On the left side hung the gold seal given by Yuwentai, and on the right side hung the sword given by Yuwenhu. The two generations of powerful officials in the west had been arranged by him.
When they were on the road, the boy's butt hurt from the saddle, so Li Tai simply held him in his arms and rode all the way back to Shangyuan Village. Knowing that most of the Dugu family's servants who stayed here had left, he took several phoenixes and headed to the villa in the valley.
There were still several Dugu family servants staying at the entrance of the valley. When they saw Li Tai approaching, some went into the valley to report the news, while others came in to block him.
"This is my homeland. Who do I have to listen to? Get out of here!"
Li Tai glared at the two Dugu family slaves blocking the middle of the road, pointed at them and shouted angrily.
Seeing that he looked so unkind, the two of them hesitated and turned slightly sideways, and Li Tai walked through them. After the two people saw this, they quickly caught up with them. They didn't dare to speak out to stop them, but just followed behind.
"Brother, actually, I don't have that much hatred... It's just that the little lady is so unkind, which makes me sad."
Seeing the angry look on Li Tai's face, Shuofeng was moved and couldn't help but whisper, after all, she still didn't want to make the relationship between them too tense.
Li Tai lowered his head and rolled his eyes at this tenacious licker, and snorted coldly: "I will make my own decision, please just stay aside!"
"Li Boshan, you finally dare to come back!"
In front of the villa door, Dugu Miaoyin, who had received the news from the slave, was standing there with her arms akimbo, wearing a purple waist-cinching hakama. She looked slim and pretty, but the resentment on her pink cheeks somewhat ruined the fresh beauty.
"This is my home. Why don't you dare to come back?"
Li Tai stood still outside the fence, raised his hand and pushed Shuifeng aside: "Dharma, please move away, don't accidentally hurt you!"
As he spoke, he held the sword at his waist in his hand. The setting sun shone down on the finely forged sword, as if he was holding a ray of bright sunlight.
The warm colors of the setting sun are scattered in the valley. A tall and handsome young man in a riding suit stands with a sword drawn. The handsome face has clear light and shadow, and the handsome body is like a strong bamboo. This picture is full of beauty and oppression.
The servants of the Dugu family standing around saw this and came forward with sticks in hand. There were several strong servants in the fence who hurriedly protected their wives behind them. The lady Miaoyin reacted after being stunned for a while, struggling and refusing. He stepped back, but his eyes suddenly turned red.
"What are you going to do? I'm not afraid of you, and I didn't mean to harm you. But you hit me, and you ran away! You didn't even say a word of apology, but I'm going to make your house uneasy and fight to the end!"
The young lady pushed away the maid in front of her, glared at Li Tai with wide eyes, and then turned to glare at Shuofeng, who was at a loss. "Shoubo Bodhidharma, what grievance did you complain to him about? To make him so angry..."
Li Tai suddenly slashed at the fence with his knife, and heard the crisp sound of breaking bamboo. With one stroke, he cut off several bamboos that were almost as thick as his wrist, and the fracture was as smooth as a mirror.
Seeing how sharp the sword was, Li Tai was stunned. He sheathed the sword with some reluctance, then took off his hands to hold it up. He grinned at the angry-looking Dugu Miaoyin and said, "Ms. Miaoyin, you misunderstood me. I had been guilty of being ignorant and offensive before, and I was restless at night.
I felt that my apology was frivolous, so I went out for a few days and came back to apologize after getting some gifts. I’m afraid to ask, madam, are you satisfied with this gift? "
"You, you are giving me...this, this precious sword. Aren't you angry with me and want to duel?"
When Lady Miaoyin saw Li Tai's sudden change of expression, she was unable to react for a moment. There was still anger on her face, but her eyes became gentle.
"How could it be? I'm not an evil person who doesn't know right from wrong. It's my fault and my fault. I don't dare to ask the lady to ignore the past grudges, but I just want to do my best to make up for my mistakes. If the lady still refuses to forgive, I will I will continue to work hard. Even if my hatred is as high as the sky, I have the ambition to move mountains!"
As he spoke, Li Tai threw the sword towards the approaching Dugu family slave, and glanced at Shuofeng, whose eyes were a little dull. Big brother will teach you a lesson today. If you lick your bones, you will not die a good death. If you lick your bones, you are the one who is destined!
"Hurry, bring the knife!"
Dugu Miaoyin already had a happy face at this moment. She beckoned and asked her slave to bring the sword to her. She held it in her hand and rubbed it lovingly. Her joy was beyond words. After a while, she looked a little embarrassed and pushed the sword back. : "No, this is too expensive, I can't accept it!
Besides, I don’t like it either, it’s not that I don’t like it, I just want it, so I don’t need to give him a knife. Take it back, take it back. What is the use of my sword? This is a treasure for you men to defend yourself and make meritorious deeds. I, Aye, also have a precious sword, but I don’t even appreciate it..."
The maid Xiao Queer, who was holding his wife's rhino-horn-handled sword in the back, was a little confused when she heard this. It turns out that the lady doesn't like swords, so I'm leaving?
Li Tai lowered his head again and said in annoyance: "Alas, Boshan is a willful man, but I don't know the lady's intentions. I just want to use this treasure to prove my deep guilt, and hope that the lady will encounter someone as rude and disrespectful as me in the future." I can cut it off with a knife! But I have forgotten that my wife, Jingshu, would fall in love with something evil. It is really unwise and disrespectful for me to speculate on my love for you!"
"Of course, whoever dares to be rude to me, I will definitely chop him down!"
When Lady Miaoyin heard this, she hummed and said. She took the saber from the maid's arms and drew it out skillfully. She also wanted to imitate Li Tai's swing of the saber to chop the fence, but she stopped mid-swing and gave it away in embarrassment. Return the scabbard and throw it to the maid.
"I forgive you, and you don't have to feel guilty anymore. Even if you don't escape that day, I won't really chop you. But... in short, I understand your intention."
She waved her hand to signal the family members who were leaning here to move away, and then said to Li Tai with some embarrassment: "I am also wrong because of the care. The scenery of your home is indeed better than mine. I am very happy to live here. Thank you."
Li Tai took the sword back and tied it to his waist. To be honest, if he really wanted to give it away like this, he would be a little reluctant to give it away, and he hadn't even covered it up yet. But as a poor and broke man, he really couldn't think of anything else that would make Dugu Miaoyin feel respected after giving it away.
"It is my duty as a host to entertain guests and make sure they feel at home. Madam Miaoyin is not disgusted by the simple mountain scenery. I am already very happy, so I dare not thank you. The flowers in the valley are full of flowers, and I also hope to have a beautiful woman with delicate hands. Qingzhe, this place was mostly populated by mediocre men. Although it has beautiful scenery, I just want to thank Lady Miaoyin for visiting here and filling the valley with fragrance!"
Li Tai raised his hands to bow again and said with a smile.
"Where is the fairy land? I am just a human woman. I burn incense all day long. It would be weird if it doesn't smell good! I like the fragrance and bring some with me wherever I go. Grand Master and Aye said that Li Boshan is smart and quick, but do you understand? Where’s Hexiang?”
This lady is not sophisticated enough to hide her emotions and thoughts. When she heard Li Tai praise her so much, she felt a little embarrassed. She had nothing to say and said a few more words, hoping to bring back some of the unpleasant impressions of the previous meeting.
The two of them started talking through the fence, asking and answering questions. Shuofeng, who was standing next to him, was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Li Tai and then at Lady Miaoyin. This is a bit different from what I imagined. How can you thank me? , I thank you for chatting?
"Brother, my butt hurts!"
Feeling that he had been left out, Shufeng touched his buttocks again and started shouting.
Li Tai rolled his eyes at the brat, and Madam Miaoyin's smile froze on her face. After a while, she returned to normal. She looked at him and sneered: "How many Bodhidharmas? Coincidentally, my family also has a brother named Bodhidharma. See you and me. Just think of him, he is always naughty and will bump and fall if he is not properly disciplined. You are much older than him, so be careful when you go out!"
Shuifeng didn't understand the meaning of these words, but he could see that Madam Miaoyin's eyes were a little unkind. She took her palms back and laughed twice: "It doesn't hurt anymore. It's strange. Brother, let's go see uncle." , I haven’t seen you for a few days, don’t you miss him?”
After hearing this, Li Tai smiled and nodded, and walked into the fence. Seeing this, Lady Miaoyin also walked slowly towards the hall of the villa. Seeing her maid's slightly narrow smile, she kept glancing at her, and pointed at the little girl. The maid turned around and said loudly: "Li Boshan, my little bird said you are so energetic!"
