Chapter 13 Is it time to take some medicine?

Li Pingfan widened his eyes angrily and said: "You brat, you just drank fake wine. Your father has cooked such a good dish. You should show shock and excitement, and kneel down to heaven that you have such a good father, instead of coming up here."

Just question it!”

"Uh..." Li Xiao said: "Then I should kowtow to you, then thank God with tears in my eyes for allowing me to be your son, and then use all my treasured private money to marry you a wife, right?"

Li Pingfan's eyes lit up, and he changed from his normal state. The previous anger had long since disappeared, replaced by urgency and surprise.

"Son, do you still have money in your hand? How much is it?"

Li Xiao stretched out his fingers and counted, "There are still about 20,000 yuan."

In 2005, 20,000 yuan was a huge amount of money. A household with 10,000 yuan was more than enough to build a large tile-roofed house in the village, let alone a wife.

Li Pingfan rubbed his big hands and said with a ghostly smile: "I will kowtow to your father and you will be spared. Just give me the money."

Li Xiao said directly: "No, I kept this money to marry a wife. If I give it to you, where can I find a wife?"

Li Pingfan suddenly paused and lowered his voice, "You are still young, don't worry. Your father and I are almost fifty years old. We have been single all this time and we still don't want people from all over the country to laugh at us."

"You won't listen?"

Li Xiao sat on the chair angrily, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Li Pingfan rolled his eyes, took out a bottle of Erguotou that he had treasured for a long time from the cabinet, and poured a glass for Li Xiao himself.

If Mr. Li saw this, he would be furious. Isn't it obvious that a father is looking for trouble when he pours wine for his son?

Little did they know that this was Li Pingfan's character. Food, sleep, and money were all things that Li Pingfan could never live without in his life. If he had to choose one thing, it would definitely be money.

Li Xiao quickly raised his hand to Erguotou, who was about to drop it, and said, "Dad, what are you going to do?"

"Son, dad is getting old. If you are not at home in the future, dad will have to find someone who can do laundry and cook. Your Aunt Wang next door is forty-five years old. When she was young, she was also a beautiful woman from all over the country. How many years does her husband have?

My predecessor passed away, let’s see how Minato lives.”

"???"

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment and said with a serious face: "Dad, you don't know who Aunt Wang is. She is as loose-mouthed as an old lady. You want everyone to know about our family situation."

After hearing this, Li Pingfan thought about it unconsciously, and it seemed to make sense. If the old man knew that he wanted to go to Widow Wang, he would not kill himself.

Li Pingfan, who had been pondering for a long time, touched his chin and said, "Then don't worry about it, just give me the money."

"No money."

"What?" Li Pingfan lost his composure, "Don't you still have 20,000? Leave it here with Dad. Dad will keep it for you. It will be easy to lose it in your hands."

"I left it with grandpa. If you have the ability to get the 20,000 from the old man, I have nothing to say."

"Wait a moment."

Li Pingfan put down the Erguotou in his hand and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find something.

Li Xiao couldn't help but ask: "What are you looking for? Can I help you look for it?"

"I'm looking for a 40-meter sword. When I find it, I'll open your Tianling Cap first and see how clever you are."

"Uh... Dad doesn't have his heart in his head."

"Hey, little bastard, give me a knife!"

……………

After dinner, it was already dark, and the old man had not come back.

Li Xiao naturally had the answer in his heart. The old man should go to Zhang Huaiyi's home. The older he gets, the more he cares about relationships. This is indeed true.

When they came to the mountain, Li Xiao still worked hard against the big tree with his body to temper his body.

Fists, arms, back, abdomen, and legs all need to be practiced to ensure that they can withstand attacks from others in battle.

This is very important. "Hongmeng Body Refining Technique" is a body training method that the first-level casual cultivators have devoted all their efforts and spent a lifetime to develop.

Its characteristics are not inferior to the Buddhist Iron Cloth Shirt with a Golden Bell Cover, but it has one disadvantage, that is, it must temper its body once a week, otherwise it will temporarily lose its defense capabilities.

Each exercise has its own shortcomings. It is not easy to make up for the shortcomings. You need to constantly improve the exercises and explore from failures again and again, so as to successfully change the deficiencies before you can truly become a qualified practitioner.

the strong man,

Under Li Xiao's continuous impact, the tree swayed slightly and made a dull sound.

Although my whole body was in pain from the shock, I gradually felt refreshed as I continued to exercise.

Over time, Li Xiao's body gradually became numb, and blood dripped from the broken wound.

This is a normal phenomenon. The damaged skin will heal quickly. Similarly, the healed flesh and blood will be firmer. Even ordinary people would not dare to break through Li Xiao's own body-protecting energy even with a dagger.

The heat in the body is constantly flowing through various acupoints throughout the body, passing through the flesh and blood, moisturizing the skin.

By the time Li Xiao stopped, covered in sweat, midnight was approaching.

Unknowingly, a day passed like this. Li Xiao came to the spring in the back mountain, took off his clothes and jumped in. The icy cold spring water suddenly cooled his body temperature, but it also relieved his burning body.

Chance.

After cleaning the blood stains on his body, he put on his clothes and returned home.

Li Pingfan's deafening snoring could be heard faintly in the courtyard. Li Xiao returned to the room, closed the door, lay down on the kang and fell asleep.

Practicing for a whole day also made him a little exhausted physically and mentally, and when sleepiness came over, he couldn't stop it.

……………

It wasn't long before dawn.

The sound of chopping wood could be heard in the courtyard. Li Pingfan kept chopping down the trees under him with an axe, and with each blow there was a sound of bones being chopped.

Li Xiao was also awakened by the noisy movement and walked out in a daze, "Dad, why did you wake up so early today?"

Li Pingfan stopped what he was doing. It was obvious that he had not recovered from what happened yesterday. He said with a straight face and angrily: "Anyone who doesn't get up to work in the morning will starve to death like you!"

"Just scold me so early in the morning that you're going to take some gunpowder."

"You little brat, say one more thing!"

"I'll just say it if you ask me to? Wouldn't it be very shameful?" Li Xiao turned around and went to the kitchen without looking back. His grandfather didn't come back last night. He was going to cook some rice porridge for him to nourish his stomach.

Li Pingfan was also so angry with his son that he had nothing to say and could only admit that he was unlucky to have given birth to a guy who didn't pay his father.

Not long after, Mr. Li came back from outside. Li Pingfan quickly asked: "Dad, why did you go? Why didn't you come back all night?"

"Old man, why should I report to you where I am going?" Mr. Li glared at Li Pingfan.

"Uh... look what you said, am I worried about your safety?" Li Pingfan felt like a mute who couldn't explain the pain of eating Coptis chinensis.
