Chapter 182 Li Wushuang

"Brother Beifeng, are you leaving?"

In front of the door, Xiaohu looked at Li Beifeng with some reluctance.

He just heard his mother talking to Brother Beifeng. Is Brother Beifeng leaving?

Li Beifeng nodded: "Yes, I'm going to go outside and take a look."

"After that, will I never see you again, Brother Beifeng?" Xiaohu said with some reluctance on his face.

Li Beifeng touched Xiaohu's head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will come back... After I leave, Xiaohu, you should listen to your mother's words and go to school to study hard!"

Xiaohu nodded obediently: "Brother Beifeng, don't worry, I will definitely study hard and I won't let you down, Brother Beifeng..."

Li Beifeng nodded with satisfaction and touched Xiaohu's head again.

When it was time to say goodbye, I realized that I was still a little reluctant to leave.

"Then Brother Beifeng... when will you come back?" Xiaohu asked again.

Li Beifeng thought for a while and said with a smile: "Whenever you succeed in your studies, I will come back!"

"Then, how can we be considered successful in learning?"

Li Beifeng thought for a moment, "Xiaohu, you want to be a scholar in the future. The biggest ideal of a scholar is, of course, the high school imperial examination and the glory of one's ancestors..."

Xiaohu's eyes gradually brightened, and his tone became firm: "Then I want to go to high school, and I want to honor my ancestors... Brother Beifeng, don't worry, I will definitely work hard."

"Then we... make an agreement?"

"Um!"

Xiaohu said firmly.

He had secretly made up his mind and would not let Brother Beifeng down.

"Okay, stay with your mother when you get back. I have some things to do."

After letting Xiaohu go back to the house, Li Beifeng paused for a moment and then walked towards another residence in the village.

…

In the village.

In front of the village chief's house.

Li Beifeng knocked on the door.

"Who?"

The slightly older voice of the village chief came from the room.

"Village chief, it's me!"

Li Beifeng spoke.

Not long after, the door slowly opened.

The village chief appeared in Li Beifeng's sight.

He was hunched over and looked like his body was bent a lot.

After not seeing each other for a while, the village chief has aged a lot.

Seeing Li Beifeng's arrival, the village chief was a little surprised: "Beifeng, why are you here?"

Li Beifeng nodded: "Village Chief, let me see you."

"come in."

The village chief was obviously very happy about Li Beifeng's arrival.

When Li Beifeng entered the house, the village chief kept looking at Li Beifeng, his old eyes filled with relief.

Like Aunt Tiger, the village chief also watched Li Beifeng grow up.

When Li Beifeng and his son came to Lijia Village, it was the village chief who took them in despite all objections.

Over the years, it was the village chief's care that allowed Li Beifeng and his son to integrate into Lijia Village and become a part of Lijia Village.

Therefore, after learning about this incident, Li Beifeng felt that it was necessary for him to pay a visit and thank the village chief before leaving.

"Village Chief, how are you?" Li Beifeng looked at the village chief.

The old village chief is getting older and his health is getting worse.

"It's quite good, a handful of old bones, you can eat and drink!" The old village chief shook his head.

"Let me check it for you."

Li Beifeng was still a little worried and stepped forward to check the old village chief's pulse.

"Village Chief, your health is okay, but... you also need more care. I will send you some medicine later. You can drink it on time. It will be good for your body..."

The village chief's health was fine, but he was a little weak. The village chief is getting old, and now he can only take good care of his body, maybe he can live for a few more years.

The old village chief looked at Li Beifeng, his eyes full of relief.

Since the death of old man Li, the village chief has been worried about Li Beifeng's life problems.

He is still so young, how will he live in the future?

Until now, Li Beifeng has finally made his mark. He has become famous in all the villages in Lijia Village and has become a veritable 'miraculous doctor'.

The old village chief finally felt relieved.

"By the way, why are you free to come see me today?"

the old village chief suddenly asked.

"Village Chief, I came here today. Firstly, I want to visit you and see your physical condition. Secondly, I also want to tell you something..."

Li Beifeng told the old village chief that he planned to leave.

However, what Li Beifeng didn't expect was that when he said he wanted to go out and have a look, the old village chief's expression suddenly changed slightly.

It became a little more solemn.

"You said you want to go out?"

The old village chief's reaction surprised Li Beifeng: "Yes, I want to go out and have a career while I'm young..."

This is Li Beifeng's rhetoric.

When he saw the old village chief's frown, Li Beifeng thought that the village chief was worried about something, so he said, "Village Chief, you don't have to worry. Even if I am no longer in Lijia Village, someone will still take my place... …At that time, if anyone in the village gets sick, they can go to Jiuzhitang in Ping’an County. As long as they report my name, they can receive discounts on medical treatment and medicine… And in Lijia Village, I have also arranged for a doctor to come over…”

Regarding what happened after he left, Li Beifeng also prepared backup plans.

After all, he is the only doctor near Lijiacun now. After he leaves, there will be no doctor in Lijiacun.

Therefore, Li Beifeng had already prepared backup plans and arranged for the doctor to come.

In this way, even if he leaves Lijia Village, he can ensure that the villagers near Lijia Village will not be affected, so that everyone can still see a doctor and afford it.

This can be regarded as some of his repayment to the villagers of Lijia Village.

However, the old village chief shook his head: "That's not what I meant..."

He looked at Li Beifeng and suddenly asked: "Have you... decided?"

"Have you really decided to go see the outside world?"

Li Beifeng was a little surprised by the village chief's reaction, but he still nodded: "I have decided. I came here today just to tell you about this..."

Seeing that Li Beifeng had made up his mind, the old village chief nodded and sighed again.

Li Beifeng was a little surprised: "Village Chief, what's wrong with you?"

The village chief's reaction was a bit strange.

Could it be that the village chief didn't want him to go out?

"What was supposed to come finally came..."

The old village chief suddenly said something slowly.

Looking at Li Beifeng, the village chief's old face seemed to be recalling some past events.

Continuous past events flashed through his mind.

"When your father brought you to Lijiacun, you were still an infant. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed..."

"No one would have thought that your father has passed away now. And you have grown up so much and are still promising..."

The old village chief was filled with emotion.

Li Beifeng still felt... something was wrong.

Something is wrong with the village chief!

At this time, the old village chief stared at Li Beifeng and asked again for confirmation: "Beifeng, have you really made your decision?"

The village chief's reaction made Li Beifeng a little confused.

He asked cautiously: "Village chief, what do you mean by this?"

The old village chief shook his head: "Actually, before your father died, he told me something..."

Li Beifeng was stunned for a moment.

He had never heard of this.

"Now that you are planning to leave, then...it's time to leave it to you!"

With that said, the old village chief walked slowly to another room.

Not long after, the old village chief came back. There is an extra box in his hand.

"This box was stored with me by your father back then..."

Li Beifeng looked at the box, slightly surprised.

His father... why would he leave a box with the village chief?

"What's going on?" Li Beifeng couldn't help but ask.

"Back then, your father was afraid that something might happen to him, so he gave this box to me for safekeeping..."

The old village chief seemed to recall something and sighed: "At that time, your father was afraid that he would die suddenly one day. So he said that if one day, something unexpected happens to him...or he passes away. Then. , just let me keep this box well until one day..."

The old village chief looked at Li Beifeng and spoke slowly: "Until one day, if you decide to go out and have some adventures, let me hand this box to you..."

"If you don't plan to go out, then let me keep this box forever and take it away forever..."

"Now, since you have decided to go out and make a living. Then, it is time to return this thing your father left behind to you..."

Li Beifeng looked down at the box in front of him, with a somewhat dignified look on his face.

"This box...was left by my father?"

Li Beifeng looked at the village chief.

The old village chief nodded.

"Then... did he leave any words?" Li Beifeng asked again.

The old village chief thought about it and shook his head.

"Your father only left this box to me, and he only asked me to give it to you when you were about to leave the village... He didn't tell me anything else."

Li Beifeng stared at the box in front of him and fell into deep thought.

From the clues he had noticed before, Li Beifeng had already realized that something was wrong.

Old Man Li's identity, and Li Beifeng's own identity... don't seem to be simple.

However, apart from the essay in the medical book, Li Beifeng could no longer find any clues.

At that time, Li Beifeng was still a little strange. Since Old Man Li left the medical book, he was naturally not afraid that the clues above would be discovered by Li Beifeng.

Why didn't he leave any more clues... Unexpectedly, it turned out that he had already prepared.

Old Man Li handed the box to the village chief and waited until Li Beifeng decided to go out to make a living. What was the meaning of this?

Could it be that if he never leaves Lijiacun for the rest of his life, he really won't be able to get this box?

Li Beifeng suddenly recalled the last paragraph in the essay, and he suddenly realized... there might be some important secret in this box.

I'm afraid, this is what Old Man Li wants to tell him.

Li Beifeng seemed to remember something and looked at the village chief: "Village Chief, do you know my father's past identity and origin...and his enemies?"

The old village chief thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know about this..."

"When your father came to our village, he was covered in blood and seriously injured... After your father recovered from his injuries, he settled in our village and never mentioned his origin... I I think maybe your father has experienced something he doesn’t want to face. "

"Since he doesn't want to mention it, he must have a reason. He asked me to hand this box to you now..."

"Then you need to choose your own path in the future."

Li Beifeng looked down at the box and suddenly understood what the village chief meant.

"Village chief, thank you!"

After Li Beifeng thanked him, he took the box and left.

After Li Beifeng left, the old village chief suddenly looked out the window and coughed.

He looked older and older.

He murmured to himself: "Old Li, I have done what you asked me to do... This child has been stubborn since he was a child. I said that he would go out sooner or later..."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If you are in heaven, please bless this child well..."

"..."

In the room.

Li Beifeng quietly looked at the box in front of him.

This is a square iron box. From the surface, there is nothing special about the iron box.

It is just an ordinary small box with a small lock outside the box. Maybe because of its age, the box and the lock are a little rusty.

There is no attraction at all.

But Li Beifeng knew very well that since Old Li wanted to wait until Li Beifeng left before letting the village chief hand over the box to him.

Then it means... Old Man Li had expected something.

If Li Beifeng lived a stable life in Lijia Village as an ordinary villager, some secrets could be buried forever.

But if Li Beifeng decided to go out and make a living, some secrets could not be hidden.

Since Li Beifeng planned to go out and make a living, then he should know some things...

This also indirectly proves that the essay in the medical book... is indeed related to Li Beifeng.

His identity and origin are probably really not simple.

Li Beifeng carefully removed the lock and opened the iron box.

However, what surprised Li Beifeng was that there was only a letter in the box, and a black ring whose color and material could not be seen?

Li Beifeng was slightly stunned, picked up the ring from the box, and looked at it carefully.

It was indeed a ring... To be precise, it should be a ring.

This ring was pitch black, and the original color and material could not be seen.

Li Beifeng carefully explored it and made a conclusion in his heart.

This ring is not an ordinary thing.

However, Li Beifeng could not know its material, let alone its value.

A very strange ring.

More importantly, why did old man Li leave a ring for Li Beifeng?

Could it be that there is something different about this ring?

Or is it some kind of token, some token that can prove his identity?

Li Beifeng thought for a moment, and soon stopped his eyes on the letter in the box.

Open the letter.

However, the content of the letter was once again beyond Li Beifeng's expectations.

He originally thought that old man Li would leave some clues.

For example, tell Li Beifeng about the cause and effect of all this... At worst, at least he would give Li Beifeng a hint about the secret of his life.

However, there was nothing.

There were only eight short words on the letter.

"Grandmaster of Northern Qi, Li Wushuang!"

Li Beifeng stared at these eight words for a long time, and a question mark slowly rose in his mind.

What does this mean?

Did old man Li leave this letter to tell him some clues?

Or did he want to tell him something?

Just eight words, what does it mean?

Is the family too poor to buy pens and ink?

"..."

Li Beifeng was too tired to complain.

Originally, I thought that the old man Li would leave some last words when he left this letter.

What happened?

Nothing, just these eight inexplicable words?

Playing a puzzle game?

Li Beifeng stared at these eight words and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Apart from the reason that the family couldn't afford pens and ink, the only possibility left was that these eight words were hinting something to Li Beifeng.

But what were they hinting at?

Grandmaster of Northern Qi?

Li Wushuang?

From the paper meaning, it seems to be one person.

Northern Qi refers to the extinct Qi State, so what does Grandmaster mean?

Position?

Or a honorific?

Li Wushuang, of course, is a name.

Then, who is this person...?

Male or female?

How old is he?

Is he beautiful...

There are no clues... Isn't this playing him?

... It's not that there are no clues at all.

Li Wushuang?

His last name is Li...

Li Beifeng also has the last name Li...

Is there any connection between them?

Or is this Li Wushuang related to Li Beifeng by blood?

Could it be that this person of unknown gender... is Li Beifeng's blood relative?

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng's face became strange.

He originally thought that he could get some useful clues from the box left by old man Li.

As a result, there were no other clues except a ring that seemed to have no use and a name that didn't know where it came from.

Not to mention solving the doubts, now it is even more confusing.

Is this playing a charade with him?

Are you sure it's not a joke?

Li Beifeng put down the things on his hand and sighed.

He was too optimistic!

The meaning of the letter left by old man Li might be to guide Li Beifeng, or perhaps to let him take this ring to find this guy named Li Wushuang?

But the problem is that Northern Qi has been destroyed for almost 20 years.

So many years have passed, who knows who Li Wushuang is?

If he wants to find the answer, does he have to go to Beizhou?

But even if he goes to Beizhou, it is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone in the vast sea of ​​people!

It is even possible that this person has already died.

Even if he is not dead, after the fall of Beiqi, many people chose to hide their real identities.

In this case, it is even more impossible to find someone.

Well, it is equal to being happy in vain!

Li Beifeng shook his head, not to mention that he has no interest in going to Beizhou for the time being.

Not to mention that Beizhou is thousands of miles away from Nanzhou, the journey is already far away.

In addition, Beizhou is now in chaos, and there are constantly rebellious forces surging.

In other words, Beizhou is really a paradise for rebellion now... At this time, Li Beifeng will not wade into this muddy water.

At such a young age, isn't it good to be alive?

However, after hesitating and thinking for a while, Li Beifeng still put away the ring and the letter.

Regardless of whether I go to Beizhou or not, these things are always useful. I will put them away for now. When I have a chance in the future, I will try to find out if I can.

This person named Li Wushuang may be the key person who knows the truth of all this.

…
