Chapter 75： Like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity to strike!

Chapter 75: Like a poisonous snake, waiting for the opportunity to strike!

She turned around and saw a long knife on the kang.

She was so frightened that she was speechless and hugged her granddaughter tightly.

Unable to hear the good news, he patted grandma’s big hand with his small hand, held it in for a long time, and then uttered another word, “Dad!”

The old lady blinked her eyes twice and suddenly understood.

“This is for your dad, for self-defense on the road?”

Jiayin nodded and pointed to the door.

Mrs. Li really shed tears now and hugged her granddaughter and kissed her again and again.

"Your father, he is not as sensible as a child like you. Fortunately, you are there, otherwise how would grandma live?"

Jiayin sighed inwardly, feeling even more sorry for the old lady.

Being a family member is not easy, and it is fine if things go smoothly at home. But if something bad happens, the old lady will probably feel uneasy for the rest of her life.

Li Laosi wandered outside the door for an unknown number of times, feeling extremely regretful.

Liu Biaotou was kind to the Li family, and there was nothing wrong with him wanting to repay his kindness.

But I’m not wrong, there are old people above and young ones below. If something happens to him, what will happen at home?

Tao Hongying came in from outside without taking off her apron. When she saw her husband like this, she gave him a fierce look.

Li Laosi smiled quickly, guessing that his wife wanted to plead for him.

But before the couple could speak, Mrs. Li had already shouted from inside the room.

“Lao Si, Hongying, come in!”

The couple quickly pushed open the door and walked in. Tao Hongying saw her daughter sticking her **** out and walking slowly on the window sill.

She quickly got on the kang and hugged her daughter up, fearing that she would fall.

Li Laosi's eyes were stuck to the long knife on the kang, "This... is this a long knife?"

“Humph,” Mrs. Li snorted coldly and responded impatiently.

"Yes, Fu Niu specifically said it was for you to protect yourself on the road."

Li Laosi was crazy with joy. He held the knife in his hands excitedly and pulled it out of its sheath.

The blade is more than two feet long, and it is so bright and dazzling!

He held his breath subconsciously, stretched out his hand to rub the blade, and saw blood on his fingertips.

“Good knife, good knife! It’s so sharp!”

Old Mrs. Li took her granddaughter and raised her chin proudly.

"It goes without saying that there is nothing wrong with what Fu Niu brought out. You ignorant father must come back safe and sound, otherwise you will feel sorry for Fu Niu."

“Don’t worry, mother, I will definitely come back early.”

Li Laosi put down the knife and solemnly agreed. Finally, he snatched the daughter away and rubbed her little face with his stubble.

Jiayin was so angry that she grabbed her father's bun with her little hands, which made Li Laosi grin in pain.

Orange Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying both laughed. Tao Hongying took a careful look at the knife and felt slightly better.

At this point, Li Laosi has decided to go out as a escort.

But the family righteousness was not fulfilled. Mrs. Li refused to let her go, and Mr. Li also refused to take her with her.

Before that, Liu dart head didn't know that he would be so dangerous, and thought he had taken his son and apprentice to go out together.

But when the **** came next, he regretted it.

Just as Li Laosi was passing by, the two of them discussed it and decided not to take the two boys with them.

With two people and two fast horses, they can go back and forth day and night on the road in ten days.

The speed is fast and the risk is minimized.

Jiayi was very disappointed, but thinking about how his fourth uncle would go out without anyone to protect him at home.

Not to mention anything else, the thirty acres of crops at home are the only one within a hundred miles.

Even though people from the village are taking care of it, there is no way to prevent jealous people from other villages from causing mischief.

Tao Hongying silently packed the package for her husband. She simply gave him a set of clothes, a pair of shoes, and then some medicine for wounds and pills for dysentery and wind-cold.

The rest are all flour cakes, made of fine thin noodles. They are dry and tasteless, but they can be stored for three to five days without fear of spoilage. Then use a bamboo tube to put a large bowl of wild boar meat sauce. You can stop and rest at any time on the way and have a full meal with it.

Jiayin also searched the space and found an old-fashioned military kettle and a military green satchel.

The dark green pot body is somewhat mottled, but it is still strong and has a long strap.

The satchel is 80% new. It looks a bit ugly but is practical.

On the night of departure, Li Laosi changed into narrow-sleeved clothes and pants that made it easier to move.

The left hand is carrying a water bottle, and the right is carrying a satchel containing clothes and dry food.

Putting on the big hat, he looks really weird indescribably.

No matter how worried Jiayin was about her father's safety, she couldn't help but laugh on her grandma's shoulder.

Old Mrs. Li didn't care about her granddaughter and told her son over and over again to be careful.

Li Laosi kowtowed to his mother, touched his daughter's face, and then strode out of the house.

Not far outside the village, Liu Biaotou was already waiting on horseback.

He didn't go in because he didn't want the horses' hooves to make the dogs in the village bark, and he felt ashamed of the Li family.

If he had a choice, he would definitely not beg Li Laosi to accompany him.

This **** trip is really too difficult!

Before I picked up the escort, I agreed that it would be a bank note, which would be easy to carry and not easily discovered.

But after getting the dart, he discovered that there were not only a hundred taels of gold, but also a bag of precious stones.

These things together totaled five thousand taels, and they were so eye-catching.

He thought for a while and found that the only one who could help and was trustworthy was Li Laosi!

But for the Li family, it was asking Li Laosi to gamble his life, and he had no face to face it...

Li Laosi got on his horse, took the gem bag handed to him by Liu Biaotou, and carefully stuffed it into his arms.

Then after thinking for a moment, he handed the long knife to Liu Biaotou.

He is better at bows and arrows, and the saber hanging on the side of the saddle is enough for self-defense.

This long knife can play a greater role in the hands of a knife expert like Liu Biaotou!

Sure enough, Liu Biaotou pulled out his long knife and looked at it, his face turned red with excitement.

“Where did this knife come from? It’s such a good knife!”

Li Laosi also sighed when he thought of his mysterious and well-behaved little girl.

As a father, he felt uncomfortable having his daughter to worry so much.

But he couldn't tell the truth at the moment, so he answered vaguely.

"This is passed down from our ancestors. It seems that my great-grandfather had a brother who was a wanderer. It was too old and my family can't remember it clearly. My mother was worried about this trip, so she gave it to me for use."

Once he heard that it was passed down from his ancestors, Liu Biaotou's idea of ​​buying it with a lot of money was gone.

He couldn't put it down and touched it again and again, and then handed it to Li Laosi.

Li Laosi refused to answer, waved his hand and said.

“Brother Liu, you are better at using a knife. You should carry this knife with you!”

Liu Biaotou's eyes lit up. He wanted to refuse, but he really liked it too much.

Such a good sword was the only one he had ever seen in his life. This time, with such a sharp weapon, he became more and more confident.

"Good brother, then I won't be polite to you. I will return it to you when we return victorious."

Li Laosi looked back at the dark village. There was only a little light in the direction of his home.

He knew that his family was waiting for the sound of his horse's hooves. If they couldn't hear the sound of his horse's hooves, they might not be able to rest peacefully.

“Let’s go, Brother Liu, go early and come back early!”

The two men and two horses quickly disappeared into the night, and ran more than a hundred miles in one night.

At dawn, the two of them rested under a tree, ate dry food and drank water. They felt that everything was going well and they felt much relieved.

But how could they know that such a huge sum of money could be concealed in a small place like Junyang?

Someone has been eyeing them for a long time, like poisonous snakes, waiting for the opportunity!
