Strongest Worker

Chapter 845

Li Qing lay quietly on the narrow single folding bed. In such a quiet night, the sound of rain outside became more and more clear.

Tick! Tick!

Leaning over his head, Li Qing stared at the direction of the voice in the hazy night. Drops of water continued to drip from the roof and soon gathered on the ground into a small pool of water.

"It's in disrepair for a long time. Even you can't bear the rainy season like natural disaster in Longxi."

Li Qing sighed and turned over on the bed. He suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have left Xie Yuyan just now. Although this woman is intelligent and resourceful, she is naturally afraid of the cold. How miserable will she be if she shivers through the long night alone?

Thinking like this, Li Qing was very distressed. In any case, he still couldn't get rid of his bone defects. He was too soft hearted to see others suffer.

"Forget it, I'd better take advantage of the calm before the storm and have a good sleep."

Li Qing closed her eyes again, but it always seemed that something had not been completed and had no intention to sleep. As a last resort, he had to silently sum up the next things in his heart.

Li Qing's involvement in the fairy ancient building this time, in addition to avenging the dead Li Yuanwen and his wife, there is another important purpose, that is, paying off the debt. It is not only the debt of the ancient boat, but also the debt of the ancestors of the Li family.

More than 150 years ago, there was a rich merchant named Wan Jianru who started from shipping and Yinzhuang along the coast. When Wan Jianru was fifty-three years old, he suffered from incurable diseases and failed to seek medical treatment. He saw that the deadline was approaching. At this time, he suddenly heard that there was a fairy building in the boundless mountains and forests in western Gansu, which appeared in the clear sky and rain. Mortals can solve the art of immortality from the immortals, so as to become immortals. Wan Jianru was moved, so he called a group of people and Xu went to Longxi to find the trace of the immortal building with nearly half of his family property. This group of people consists of three parts. The first part is dozens of sailors on 10000 merchant ships; The second part is a Fei who collects debts in Yinzhuang, that is, the local unscrupulous gangsters; The third part is the scattered soldiers of the military and government yamen, which is not a pure regular army, but somewhat similar to Xiang Yong.

Thousands of sailors act steadily, steadfast and willing to work; The local ruffian who urges for debt has a lively mind and can play rogue; The soldiers in the military and government yamen are experienced and can wield knives and guns. It is wan Jianru's wishful thinking to put the three parties together, supervise each other and make up for each other. A total of more than 400 people from the three sides set out in the hope of Wan Jianru.

But wan Jianru was already terminally ill. He didn't wait for this group of people to return. After half a year, he died.

The journey of this group of people was not smooth. More than 400 of them went deep into the hinterland of Longxi. Before they found the clue of the ancient immortal building, they were intercepted several times and suffered heavy losses.

The power of the hand is naturally the ancient family that painstakingly guards the immortal ancient building. In the face of this hidden ancient family, this group of people carefully organized by Wan Jianru was like a local chicken and tile dog. Before long, there were only dozens of people left.

These dozens of people were in a panic in the depths of the mountain. Unexpectedly, they crossed the front slope and ran directly into the base camp of the ancient family, taking the initiative to send their heads to the door.

So far, these dozens of people had no way to live, but in the end, unexpectedly, more than a dozen people survived and left Longxi safely. The reason is that they reached an agreement with the leader of the ancient family at that time.

At that time, after Tang Huaijin, the ancient family had begun to decline. In the face of more and more explorers and the huge forces gradually prospering, the ancient family has been unable to cope with it.

Why did the ancient family go downhill? Gu Yue explained to Li Qing that the ancient family had been closed for nearly a thousand years, intermarriage among close relatives was too serious, and the number of descendants was scarce.

Tang Huaijin's mother is an ancient family, while her father's surname is Tang. She is the first Jinshi born in Longxi. Of course, the style of study in Longxi also had a great relationship with the ancient family's teaching and education.

After obtaining the merit title, the scholar surnamed Tang stayed in the capital, abandoned his wife and son and never returned. I'm afraid only Tang Huaijin and her mother can know the pain, which others can't understand.

The leader of the ancient family more than 150 years ago found a little light from Tang Huaijin when the ancient family gradually declined. That is, if the ancient gate wants to reproduce its prosperity, it must introduce people from the outside and create a primitive community dedicated to guarding the ancient buildings of the town.

After some consideration, the leader of the ancient family at that time selected more than ten young people from the group established by Wan Jianru and placed high hopes on them. One of them, a young man surnamed Li, acted decisively, affectionate and righteous. He even had a plan to betroth his daughter to him.

These dozen people were faced with the situation of death. Now, in order to survive, they had to make a heavy oath and were willing to help the ancient gate guard the ancient building of the town fan together, and never change their ambition for thousands of years.

This is the contract of the year and the debt owed by the Li family to the ancient gate. Even though they had no choice but to swear, it was the ancient gate who spared their lives. The young man surnamed Li, who won the hearts of the leader of the ancient family, was the ancestor of the Li family in Lingang.

Later things were much simpler. These dozen people broke their vows and secretly ran away when the ancient family relaxed their vigilance. They didn't enter the ancient immortal building. They didn't even know where the nine story Square Pavilion was. However, in order to return to the thousands of families, they smuggled a pile of bronze boxes placed in the ancient family and didn't know what to do.
