LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 55: This Is The Heritage Of The Li Family
"Husband, do we... have a chance to win this time?"
Xu Cuihua hugged Li Dalong tighter.
Li Dalong frowned, unsure how to reply when he heard a noise outside the house. The couple stood up.
"What's going on outside?"
Fully dressed, they left the house and saw that all the young and old of the Li family had walked out of the yard and looked out of the house with them.
It was late at night, and the lights outside Green Valley Village were brightly lit.
When everyone in the Li family arrived at the door of their house, they saw that the villagers of Green Valley Village had gathered in front of the Li family's house. Everyone held a torch in their hands, making the sky of this once rural place bright red!
The elderly village chief of Green Valley Village took a step forward. After Qu Changming of the Qu family resigned as village chief due to corruption, the village chief had already been replaced by the most popular old man in Green Valley Village.
The village chief's pale face and white hair showed an angry look as he angrily said:
"Mr. Li, I heard that the Li family is going to fight with Tailin Town. Why is it that the people of Green Valley Village know nothing about it?"
Li Dalong was startled for a moment. In his impression, the old village chief always spoke softly and harmoniously, rarely looking so aggressive.
Just as he was about to respond, the old man continued:
"There has been a severe drought for many years. There are more than 3,000 people in Green Valley Village. Many were robbed or gnawed bark from trees due to the drought. Which family didn't lose relatives or friends to the drought or robbers? If it weren't for the Li family's kindness in giving us food and livestock, where would Green Valley Village be today?
"Now the Li family is going to Tailin Town to fight to the death for their fate, but they keep silent. Where does that leave the people of Green Valley Village?
"I know there are many strong men in Green Valley Village. The Li family is going to fight. We also have weapons. Even if we don't, we have kitchen knives and silver forks at home!"
Li Dalong understood the thoughts of the villagers of Green Valley Village.
He looked at the villagers holding torches crowded in front of the Li family's courtyard, with a hint of gratitude on his face.
But he shook his head at the villagers and said loudly:
"I, Li Dalong, hear your wishes. But on this trip to Tailin Town, what we have to face are cultivators, a life-and-death battle, this is the destiny of my Li family. Everyone, please go back."
"What a joke!"
The village elder was unhappy and stared angrily, "I have received great favor from the Li family. If my children knew that their benefactor suffered this disaster, but my old man remained silent, I would be in trouble in the future. When they burned incense to me, they will say that I was an elder with a bad heart and a dog's heart, and I will not be able to rest in peace even in death"
As soon as these words came out.
The villagers all laughed loudly.
"The village chief is right. We all only have one life. If Master Li is going to fight, then I, Wang Ergou, will follow Master Li to the damn fight!"
"Yes, yes, yes, take me with you. I can hunt and kill, too!"
"When I couldn't find anything to eat and thought I would die on the street from starvation, Mr. Li gave me food. Now I have a house and several acres of fertile land. When I walk out of the house, I hear the sounds of chickens and ducks. Now, in my family, I have three children. This life is enough. Mr. Li, it's time for me to give you back this life of mine!"
"…"
The villagers of Green Valley Village shouted, but Li Dalong did not notice any noise; his eyes were red.
When his wife asked him if they could win, he was afraid. He was really afraid that if he acted impulsively, the Li family's heritage over the past few decades would be destroyed in his hands.
But now...
He is not afraid anymore!
Reflecting on his life, he had started as a slave and never imagined he would be here today.
But thanks to the blessings of his ancestors, he gained the method of cultivation, went hunting in the mountains, filled his stomach, and no longer had to be bullied.
He married the best girl in the world and had several children who made him feel that his life was worthwhile. His two grandchildren were also very well-behaved.
And this Green Valley Village.
For his kind deed that day, these kind-hearted villagers were willing to face powerful enemies with him, regardless of life or death.
He already had a life that ordinary people couldn't imagine. He had so many people supporting him, so why be afraid?
At this moment, Li Dalong's eyes widened. He found the same feeling of facing those ferocious beasts when he was hunting for the first time!
"Hahaha! Okay!"
Li Dalong raised his arms and shouted, "Everyone from Green Valley Village, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I, Li Dalong, am just a village man in the mountains, and I'm fucking scared sometimes. But seeing your support tonight, I just realized that I'm getting so damn old!"
"Fuck Tailin Town!"
"Fuck the Wang family and the Hu family!"
"Everyone, get your weapons, I, Li Dalong, will not turn back until The blood of those two families paves the way for us to move forward!"
The stars were bright and the moon shone brightly that night.
All the villagers in Green Valley Village were cheering together with the Li family.
The torches they held high illuminated the late night.
The Chen family, who had slowly recovered from their injuries, looked at these fanatical villagers in Green Valley Village in shock. Crazy ordinary people could even scare cultivators!
The ancestor of the Chen family let out a long breath, "Get ready, we will follow the Li family to kill Tailin Town!"
Hearing this, Chen Chuang hesitated for a moment. "Ancestor, our Chen family only has a few people..."
But before he could finish his words, the Chen family's ancestor slapped him in the face.
"Are we, the Chen family, not as courageous as the villagers?"
Chen Chuang did not dare to say more.
Only then did the ancestor of the Chen family smile, looking at the Li family who were still shouting to the sky and the villagers of Green Valley Village, "I take back what I said before, this..."
"This is the heritage of the Li family!"
