The knocker on the door fell off. Wang Yulan tidied up her son and wedged the nail back in. She was not used to seeing sloppiness and waste.
No matter if it was the imperial palace or mansion of an emperor, a general or a minister, or a small courtyard of a commoner, they would usually have a courtyard gate, a pair of earrings at the height of a person on both sides of the middle of the two street gates. When outsiders entered the mansion, they would definitely buckle the earrings first.
In the feudal era, there were strict rules governing the use of door knockers. You couldn't just make whatever you wanted. Going beyond the rules would cause trouble.
The four main gates of the Prince's Mansion were decorated with gold and copper rings; the gates of the Prince's Mansion were decorated with green copper rings; the gates of the Dukes and Marquises were decorated with gold and beast-faced tin rings; the gates of the first and second ranks were decorated with green beast-faced tin rings; the gates of the third to fifth ranks were decorated with black beast-faced tin rings; the gates of the sixth to ninth ranks were decorated with black beast-faced iron rings …
Ordinary people could only use iron.
Li He held the knocker in his hand and looked at it carefully. Although he often used it, he had never studied it carefully. The black lion door knocker was made of iron. It was often used, and the round handle was polished.
He pressed the knocker with one hand and hammered the nail on the back of the door with the other. The flat nail was thin and slanted. He was very light when he smashed it. He was afraid that he would accidentally bend it. Otherwise, he would have to go out and buy another nail.
Ding Shiping stood at the door for a few minutes. Seeing that Li He couldn't get a single nail in, he got a little anxious. "Should I do it?"
"That's perfect." Li He was so agitated that he was sweating profusely. He wanted to pass the hammer to Ding Shiping.
Ding Shiping waved his hand and did not take the hammer. He spat on his hand.
"Open!" Ding Shiping bellowed as he raised his right hand and chopped down fiercely. The steel nail pierced through the wood as it fell.
"You haven't neglected your skills." Li He shook the door knocker. Seeing that it was secure, he praised Ding Shiping. He was not too surprised by Ding Shiping's poem. Iron Palm Nails Steel Nails, Hands Breaking Bricks, and Body Breaking Wooden Sticks had always been training subjects for many troops. It was important to train one's muscles, bones, and skin externally, and to train one's Qi internally.
Ding Shiping said disdainfully, "Anyone can do it as long as they have brute force. There's no technical content at all. What's the use of that? If they really fought, would I let you slash me in such a big circle? He's long gone. "
He said it casually, but if you looked closely at his hand, you would find that it was extremely hard. If you touched it in the dark, it was unlikely that you would think it was a hand. His fingers were short and thick, and his fingernails were extremely small. The flesh on his back seemed to be embedded in a turtle shell, layer by layer, and the color was somewhat pale.
Wan Liangyou chuckled and said, "This is something that is passed down in the army. The veterans teach the new recruits, and we were beaten up by the veterans. Even if our bones were broken, we had to continue practicing. In order to ensure the effect of the performance, when the leader is inspecting us, we'll try to fool him. Usually, we'll fight him head-on and hit him more than 20 yuan. "
"That's all you've brought?" Li He saw that Ding Shiping and the other two looked like they were marching to war. Only Zhang Bing was carrying a backpack, and the other two only had a military water bottle.
Ding Shiping said, "We only brought two sets of clothes. Zhang Bing is carrying them."
Li He didn't say anything more. He looked at the time and went back to the house to urge Wang Yulan and her parents to pack their things. They had to catch the plane to Hong Kong.
Wang Yulan had bought a lot of things after coming here. She wanted to bring this and that. In the end, the three big bags were stuffed full, and there was no room for them.
"Bring all of them, bring all of them." Wang Yulan couldn't make a choice. Li He stepped forward to help make the decision. He found another big bag and stuffed everything into it. Then, he instructed Ding Shiping and the others, "Put them all in the car."
Wang Yulan breathed a sigh of relief. She held Li Pei with one hand and Yang Huai with the other. She followed behind Ding Shiping and thanked him profusely, "Thank you."
Li Zhaokun carried Li Ke in his arms and followed behind them into the car.
He Fang wanted to send them to the airport, but Li He stopped her. "Stay at home and look after the kids. I'll be back as soon as possible."
"Be careful on the road. You have to be careful with the three kids," He Fang kept reminding them.
Li He nodded repeatedly and then told Da Kui and the others what to do.
Pinsong drove one car and Li He drove the other. The group drove to the airport.
When they boarded the plane, none of the three children behaved themselves. They all joined in the fun and looked out of the window. Wang Yulan was airsick and couldn't care about the children at all. Li He forcefully buckled the three children with their seat belts and didn't let them move.
When they got off the plane, Li He forcefully held Li Pei and Yang Huai's hands, while Li Ke rode on Li Zhaokun's head excitedly.
"Mother!" Wang Yulan, who had just left the airport, was hugged by a shadow before she could react. Her hands couldn't help but flutter as she tried to push it away.
When she saw that it was her fourth daughter, she happily complained, "You damned girl!"
Four took his mother's bag and hugged her shoulders. Although Wang Yulan was a head shorter than her, she still buried her head in her arms and said coquettishly, "Mother, I missed you so much!"
"Aiya, there are so many people." Wang Yulan was happy, but she was still not used to being relied on by her daughter in public. "Help your brother."
Li He handed the two children to Four and felt a lot more relaxed. He asked, "Why aren't you back in class yet?"
The three children kept calling Lao Si 'Aunt' and 'Aunt'.
Four smiled and said, "I'm waiting for Mother to come."
"Where's Qin Zi?" Wang Yulan looked left and right but didn't see her youngest daughter.
Four said, "She's in class. She'll be back tomorrow on Friday."
Li Zhaokun glanced at his fourth daughter and felt neglected. His face was cold and he didn't say a word.
The Kombat Shield was also driven over. This was the only luxury SUV in Hong Kong. If there was a second one, it would definitely be Li He's.
The exterior of the car looked like a monster. The entire car was black and the headlights were two eyes.
These two eyes were agile and looked as if they could move. It made people's hair stand on end. The front of the car looked a little like a prehistoric monitor lizard, but it looked a little like a crocodile. It looked like a wolf and a tiger, but it was very athletic.
"What car is this?"
"I've never seen it before?"
"It must be some inferior brand!"
"Ignorant. Have you ever seen an inferior car made of eight-centimeter steel plate?" Finally, someone couldn't help but retort.
"Based on this attitude, it's definitely not cheap." Someone saw that Ping Zhi and the Rolls-Royce behind them could only serve as foils.
This car was eye-catching and attracted the attention of many passersby. They wanted to touch it but didn't dare. Those with cameras kept taking pictures.
The driver, Mr. Wu, got out of the driver's seat and gave it to Li He. He had been tirelessly instructed by Yu Dehua and Shen Daoru to take good care of it. This showed how important this car was to Li He.
Only Huang Bingxin came to pick them up.
The King was going to patrol the mountains again, so he was as respectful as he could be. He smiled and said, "Mr. Yu and Mr. Shen are still in Shenzhen. They'll be back in a few days." From a small bank employee, he became the CEO of a corporation and became the king of working in Hong Kong. His status today was not much lower than Shen Daoru and Yu Dehua, but he still maintained a low profile in front of them.
His foundation was shallow and he definitely didn't have the hobby of seeking death.
"Why are there so many people?" There were more than ten cars in front and behind them. Li He didn't like to be so extravagant.
Huang Bingxin hurriedly explained, "I don't know how many people you have here. It'll be more spacious if we have a few more cars."
"Let's go then." The air in Hong Kong was even hotter. Li He opened the front passenger door for his mother and helped her settle down. Then, he opened the back door and carried the children in. Li Zhaokun naturally followed. Four wanted to squeeze in too. Li He said, "What are you doing? Sit in the car behind."
"I'm happy to." Four ignored his brother and placed Li Ke on his lap. He insisted on sitting in the car.
With children and parents in the car, Li He didn't dare to drive too fast. If he drove too fast, he would feel dizzy and it would be hard for him to breathe. Hence, he was very careful.
