Chapter 45: Li Jiujin
Jin Ling went back to the grassland village again and came to Li Jijin's small wine shop.
There is a reason for coming here. Mr. Sun secretly handed over a message saying that Li Jijin wanted to see him.
Li Jijin knew Mr. Sun, and Jin Ling already knew this.
"It's your boy. I haven't seen you for a long time. I have a lot of wine backlog." In the small wine shop, Li Jijin's face was still pale. "I heard from the villagers that you are doing well in Xian Village now."
, he is also an immortal."
"It's just better luck." Jin Ling smiled and had an oilcloth bag in his hand. He opened it and found smoked meat made from half a magic hare. "Uncle Jiu Jin, this is the meat of the devil hare that I honor you with."
Li Jiujin was greatly surprised and said with a smile: "You brat, you are serious. This monster meat is very valuable. I, your uncle Jiujin, can't bear it."
"Uncle Jiu Jin, it depends on what you said." Jin Ling pretended to be angry, "If you see me outside like this again, I will be angry."
Li Jijin laughed, no longer shirk, and accepted it readily. He opened a bottle of good wine, got some peanuts with soy sauce, and treated the young man to a few sips. The two drank and chatted.
"You are talking about you, Yang Pu, Yang Xuan, Yang Lisheng, Yang Lixuan, these are the children who grew up in our neighborhood. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck and became a high-ranking fairy?
You are a scholar." Li Jijin was quite emotional.
"Aloof?" Jin Ling smiled bitterly, "Uncle Jiu Jin, don't laugh at us. Although we have become immortals, we are still just ants at the bottom of the world."
"Ants?" Li Jijin said with a smile, "If a direct descendant of the royal family like you is considered an ant, then who are we, just ashes from vegetation?"
Hearing this, Jin Ling was stunned.
"Boy, are you surprised how I know your true identity?" Li Jijin said, hanging the closed wooden sign by the door, bolting the door, and then walked back.
"Yes, it's Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun told you?" Jin Ling asked hesitantly. However, Mr. Sun had told him that day not to reveal his true identity to anyone. He didn't say it, but what about Mr. Sun?
Did you tell Li Jijin again?
"No, kid." Li Jijin's eyes were a little confused, "I have always known, because I used to be your father's confidant. After you were secretly sent to Prairie Village for care by your father's confidant, I
On the order of your father, I married someone from Prairie Village, opened a wine shop here, and protected you secretly. Originally, you have been growing up peacefully in these years, and I don’t have to reveal my identity. However, you already have immortal power, and you have recently been in
You are so popular in the fairy village, I have to say a few words to you."
At this point, he raised his head suddenly and drank a large glass of wine.
"You don't need to ask about my name or origin. You can just call me Uncle Jiujin." Li Jiujin said, "In the past few years, my cultivation has been completely suppressed with secret techniques, so it seems
, just like an ordinary person. But now, you have emerged and attracted attention, so I have to lift the secret method and protect you. Little prince, I have also heard about your attempt to become an immortal. Didn’t I say that you failed?
"
"I don't understand either. I've been so weird since I succeeded in becoming an immortal. Uncle Jiujin, you also know that the process of my becoming an immortal was also full of twists and turns." Jin Ling led him casually and asked with concern, "
Uncle Jiujin, you know, when I was first sent to Prairie Village, I was still young and naughty, so I don’t remember many things. Me, my parents, them, they..."
"I don't know the whereabouts of the King of the Northern Jin Dynasty and the others. My mission is just to live here dormant and protect you secretly." Li Jijin said, "But there is vague news that your mother seems to have been killed.
My father's whereabouts were unknown many years ago, and he must be in bad luck. If not, he would not have left the title token and canonization document on you."
Jin Ling took out the Qujue Token from the white bead space on the black bracelet, touched it gently, and thought about the appearance of his parents. However, their appearance became increasingly blurry.
"Don't worry about them in advance." Li Jijin said, "You can't stay in a remote place like Prairie Village for a long time now. If someone wants to assassinate you, this is an extremely secretive and convenient place. In Fairy Village, there are people from all forces.
, constraining each other, the Shang family has to be cautious when doing things. I will pack my things right now, go to the fairy village with you, and continue to protect you secretly. "
Jin Ling was overjoyed: "Uncle Jiu Jin, this is great. My Caoyuan Juli is in need of a knowledgeable shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper... Li Jiujin curled his lips speechlessly, this boy makes calculations in his mind really fast.
It turns out that Li Jijin was placed by his father in Prairie Village many years ago to protect him.
After living as an orphan for many years, Jin Ling has forgotten his parents' voices and smiles. Thinking of his father's painstaking efforts, Jin Ling can't help but feel his nose sore.
Now that the down-and-out royal family can do nothing more than this.
I don't know where he and his mother are now, whether they are dead or alive. However, since they can think of ways to protect their children, they should also have many ways to avoid disasters.
Li Jijin came to Caoyuanju and was entrusted by Jin Ling with the important task of being the shopkeeper. He was already good at running a wine shop, and Caoxiangtang had gained a reputation far and wide, so the internal and external operations of the store, as well as the large and small affairs, were all smoother.
The two thieves, Huo Bao and Du Ermao, who were obviously incapable of running the business, were good at sneaking around and managing the store. Therefore, after Li Jijin came, Huo Du took a back seat and was willing to take the initiative.
Only Li Jiujin obeyed his orders. Gu Jia only had one task, to settle accounts and collect money.
In fact, they didn't think there was anything outstanding about the new thin white middle-aged man, but once Li Jijin glanced at him, the three of them felt cold all over and their hearts trembled. From then on, they didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Just obey.
"Jin Ling, what is the origin of Uncle Jiu Jin?" Gu Jia asked Jin Ling more than once, "Obviously he is just a mortal, but when he looked at me, I felt like there was an iceberg standing in front of me.
Tall and scary. Even my cousin has never given me this feeling."
"You must have drunk too much." Jin Ling said with a smile, "I'm afraid my eyesight is wrong. He is just a mortal."
"No, definitely more than that." Gu Jia shook his head like a rattle.
"Don't think too much." Jin Ling said, "You were coaxed here by me. I know that you don't want to be in this wine shop business for a long time. There is a tiger in your heart that always wants to pounce and do what you want.
It's a big deal. With Uncle Jiu Jin here, you will be much more relaxed, and I will be much more relaxed."
Gu Jia stared:...
The arrival of Li Jijin has indeed greatly relieved Jin Ling and Gu Jia's tiredness. After all, they are immortals. They no longer have to worry about everything, and can spend a lot of time practicing.
"I'm going on a long journey in a while. If I have something to do, I'll go to Black Rock Immortal Village to see your cousin." Jin Ling said, "You are the only immortal in Caoyuan Juli. You must be careful and don't be careless. The Fang family has eaten
It's such a big loss, but I didn't come out to take revenge on the outside, but now I might be harboring some evil behind it."
"I know." Gu Jia said listlessly.
"Don't forget, you are still 30% of this Caoyuanjuli." Jin Ling reminded him, "You have invested so much money in the reconstruction of Caoyuanjuli, and the money I owe you has not been paid back, so I will give it to you.
Let’s be part of it.”
"Really?" Gu Jia became excited. Working for others is indeed different from working for yourself.
