Chapter 27: Chengfu

Tonight, Lijing Village is brightly lit, with laughter in every household. Children are running around the village like it's a festival, playing and making noise.

Liu Linfeng led people to build a burning bonfire in the open space of the village. Everyone sat around the bonfire, talking and laughing, discussing the fierce long worm. The men showed off proudly, and their faces were flushed in the firelight.

In the evening, Li Yesheng used ten people to drag the long worm down the mountain, worked hard to peel off the scales, and called the women in the village to slice the snake meat carefully, put it in three large basins, marinated it with green onions, ginger, and cooking wine, and put it next to the bonfire. Every household took their own meat and vegetables and chatted by the bonfire.

Li Mutian never liked these lively things and didn't want to come out of the courtyard gate, so Li Xiangping and Li Tongya called people to watch the spiritual root and went down the mountain first.

Li Xiangping sat in front of the bonfire and turned his head to his brother.

"Naturally."

Li Tongya nodded, looked up at the three wooden basins, picked up a piece of snake meat with his hand, and saw that the meat was sliced as thin as a cicada's wing, as if it were translucent, and laughed:

"It has already been sent to the courtyard."

Li Xiangping tied a piece of snake meat with a skewer and roasted it on the fire, and continued:

"The snake gallbladder is also two fists large, and it has been sent to the courtyard to soak in wine."

The two chatted while talking. Li Yesheng took Xu Wenshan and walked forward. Li Tongya raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and signaled that the two had something to say.

"You want to communicate business on this Kong Guli Road and buy the surplus of the villages?"

After listening to Xu Wenshan's confident description, Li Xiangping and Li Tongya looked at each other, both thoughtful. What Xu Wenshan planned was exactly what the two had in mind.

Li Tongya pondered for a few breaths and said:

"Not bad. This matter will be handled by you and Liu Linfeng. Except for your partners to do this, the rest of the manpower will be drawn from the Liu family first."

Seeing Xu Wenshan overjoyed, Li Xiangping said in a deep voice:

"There are still several immortal families on Kong Guli Road. If you want to trade, you have to ask them. You send people to carefully test and contact them first, mark the places with people on Kong Guli Road, and make a map first."

"Subordinate understands!"

Xu Wenshan listened carefully, then raised his head and patted his chest to guarantee:

"Main family, rest assured, I, Old Xu, have walked on the Li Xia Road for more than ten years, and I know the techniques of walking the road well. If I hadn't come to this Kong Guli Road before, I, Xu Wenshan, could have drawn this map immediately."

Xu Wenshan hurried back to find his partners. Li Tongya ate snake meat and said to Li Yesheng in a muffled voice:

"Uncle is also idle at home, so it's better to come out and do something. That Xu Wenshan is a ghost. Although he has placed most of the Liu family in it, you still need to pay attention to it, and don't let that Xu Wenshan be too powerful."

"I understand!"

Li Yesheng replied hurriedly. After following the two brothers for so long, he gradually became familiar with doing things, and secretly guarded against that Xu Wenshan in his heart.

"Find some reliable people tomorrow, surround the banyan tree with a small courtyard, and prevent others from peeping..."

Li Xiangping said this and waved his hand. Li Yesheng retreated consciously. Li Tongya sighed softly and said in a deep voice:

"If my Li family didn't really have no manpower to guard the scene, there would be no need to be so calculating and guarding against it."

Li Xiangping ate snake meat with his head down, squeezed the skewer in his hand tightly, and replied:

"I should have gone to that market, and it would be easy to buy a map, but our brothers have low cultivation, and we don't know the depth of the market, so I'm afraid we can't take risks."

"Rest assured!"

Li Tongya saw Li Xiangping looking unhappy, laughed and said:

"Now that Chi'er has entered the sect, the spiritual seedlings in the family are growing well, the clan has produced disciples with spiritual apertures, and this spiritual root has been discovered. My Li family is flourishing. If we are too dissatisfied, it will bring disaster."

This made Li Xiangping stunned, nodded thoughtfully, and laughed:

"Remember the brother's teachings!"

————

Li Chengfu has now moved near the main family, and his life has completely changed. Not only did he return to the clan surname, but everyone in Lijing Village talked about Li Chengfu, saying that he was truly lucky!

Walking in the village, he was not domineering, but at least he looked like a person. Who wouldn't respectfully call him Chengfu when they saw him?

Those elders of the Ye clan were naturally envious, and even Liu Linfeng, who didn't even look at him, had to smile and call him Chengfu when he saw him.

But having said that, although Li Chengfu was very proud, he didn't dare to show off in front of Liu Linfeng. After all, he was the direct uncle, although he was down and out now, who knew if he would have a day of comeback?

Sure enough, this Liu Linfeng was down and out for only a few months, and with an order from the main family, he was in charge of dozens of people in the blink of an eye, running around the village, drawing some maps. The smile on Liu Linfeng's face was about to drip to the ground!

Sitting in the small shop in the village, Li Chengfu tasted the wine with relish, watching Liu Linfeng busy like a spinning top every day, and laughed.

"I don't think your Liu Linfeng's task is easy, how can you be as comfortable as I, Li Chengfu!"

"Fu Brother, Fu Brother, tell me, what magical means do these immortals have! Why do you go up the mountain every day?"

Looking at the idlers around him who were asking about gossip with wide eyes, Li Chengfu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and said loudly:

"Shut up! Get out of the way!"

He, Li Chengfu, is not stupid. The Li family has few people, and as a concubine of the Li family, he is considered a confidant. He and his two children went to build that small courtyard on the mountain. Li Yesheng ordered not to leak it. Can he, Li Chengfu, be stupid enough to sell his own family to attract attention?

This middle-aged man calculated clearly in his heart. His child has that spiritual aperture and is of the Li family bloodline. Except for Li Tongya, Li Xiangping, and Li Yesheng who are in charge, the fourth chair is set! That Liu Rouxuan is an outsider, how can she come to mix in?

Now that he and his three children, one immortal and two mortals, have changed their surname to Li, the Li family's interests are Li Qiuyang's interests, and they are his Li Chengfu's interests. Can he sell his own family?

"Go to work!"

Li Chengfu waved his hand, drank the clear wine in the bowl, and walked out of the crowd of idlers swaggeringly.

The courtyard on the mountain was built large and the construction period was short, and Li Chengfu didn't have much time to waste here. ===== CHAPTER 28 =====
