Happy Little Scholar

"Second Miss, this..."

Seeing his lord walk straight past the carriage without even looking at them, a guard driving the carriage showed a little surprise on his face, looking at the woman holding the sword and said.

Miss Liu Er also showed a trace of doubt on her face, then waved her hand and said, "Just follow slowly."

Li Yi walked slowly along the street and gradually walked out of the city gate. There was always a figure following him more than ten feet away. Miss Liu Er's expression changed from doubt and surprise at the beginning to worry.

Because he has been like this for a whole hour.

Miss Liu Er's expression began to be a little solemn. Such Li Yi made her feel very strange, even stranger than Li Yi who said to her "I said, go down" on the stage of the Qing'an Mansion that day.

……

Viscount Mansion

In the shade under a big tree at the door, Lao Fang sat at a low table with his legs crossed, chatting with Li Guanjia casually, with a smile on his face, and the word "happy" was almost written on his face.

"Is there anything happy today?" Li Guanjia picked up a few chopsticks of small dishes, took a sip of fine wine, squinted his eyes comfortably, and asked Lao Fang.

"Ah, no, no..." Lao Fang waved his hand, took a big sip of wine, and laughed: "What can I be happy about..."

Li Guanjia shook his head, and his expression was so obvious that even the dog sticking out his tongue beside him could probably see that he was in a good mood.

After picking up a few pieces of meat, Lao Fang looked up and saw a figure coming from a distance. He stood up from the stool, walked over and said, "Son-in-law, guess what I saw in the city today, that group of jade courtyards..."

"Son-in-law, son-in-law?"

Lao Fang looked at Li Yi, who didn't even pay attention to him and walked straight into the mansion, puzzled for a while, so much so that he even forgot something that made him excited until now.

Looking back, the carriage of the Viscount's mansion was actually following behind. He wondered why the son-in-law walked back by himself without even taking the carriage. It was not until he saw the second lady, who also looked unhappy, coming over that a trace of realization appeared on his face.

"Second lady, did you quarrel with the son-in-law again?"

When Miss Liu walked past him, Lao Fang couldn't help but ask tentatively.

As soon as he said this, he felt something was wrong. When he looked up and saw Miss Liu's cold eyes, he shuddered immediately. He reacted faster than the dog lying on the ground and stuck out its tongue. In an instant, he disappeared from the spot.

"Son-in-law..." Xiaohuan was washing the two clothes that Li Yi had changed yesterday in the corridor. When she saw him coming in from outside, she immediately raised her little face.

Ruyi came out from inside, looked at him and said with a smile: "My husband is back. Have you eaten? If not, I will ask the kitchen to make it right away."

"I have eaten." Li Yi whispered, then walked into the room and said: "I'm a little tired. I'll sleep for a while. If there is nothing, don't let anyone disturb me."

Ruyi's face showed a trace of doubt, but she still nodded.

Xiaohuan washed her hands and ran in, tidying up the bed while mumbling softly.

This year's Qixi Festival, I must ask Uncle Fang and his men to help build a taller building than last year. Several maids in the mansion have been talking about how tall the buildings of the rich families in Kyoto are. My family must not be outdone.

"Is Qixi Festival coming soon..." Li Yi took off his coat and muttered, looking at the little maid and asked, "What day is today?"

The little maid counted on her fingers and said after a while, "June 18th."

Hearing this number, Li Yi was stunned for a while, and then he sighed for a long time, and then a faint voice came over.

"June 18th..., it's been a whole year."

After Xiaohuan closed the door, she stood at the door and listened for a while. She didn't hear any other movement inside, and murmured in a puzzled voice: "What year..."

"Nothing happened today?" In the yard, Ruyi looked at Miss Liu Er and asked in confusion.

"I don't know." Miss Liu Er shook her head. She didn't go into the palace with Li Yi today. He became like this after he came out. She didn't know what happened at all.

Ruyi didn't ask any more questions, but when she looked at the closed door, she couldn't help but show some worry on her face.

I don't know why, Li Yi felt particularly tired after coming out of the palace, especially after hearing Xiaohuan talking about today's day... This tiredness is not only physical, but also mental. Lying comfortably on the bed, the double fatigue was released. He just wanted to sleep like this forever.

Feeling that the atmosphere in the mansion was a little wrong, the maids and servants of the Viscount's mansion have been particularly careful these days.

Without the maids to discuss how the mansion will spend the Qixi Festival half a month later, the Lord has not stepped out of the yard for several days. Miss Xiaohuan's face is full of worry, and the second lady has never had a good face. Even the lady's face can occasionally see a trace of worry.

The maids and servants worked lightly, fearing to make the slightest sound.

Li Yi lay on the bed, looking a little haggard. In fact, he has slept enough these days, but he still feels very tired.

Since that special day, the negative emotions hidden in my body suddenly erupted. Apart from sleeping, I felt that everything was boring.

But even if I fell asleep, I was not at peace. There were always some strange things filling my mind.

Sometimes he dreamed that he was wearing ancient clothes and sitting on a bus, and was greeted by the surprised and scrutinizing eyes of the people on the bus; sometimes he dreamed that he was wearing Adidas sportswear, standing in the court with headphones in his ears, and the song in the headphones was Jay Chou's "Back to the Past", and it turned out that the King of Shu was sitting on the dragon throne above him and looking at him with mocking eyes; sometimes his mother's long-lost nagging sounded in his ears. Once when he was forced to marry, he found a woman from the street in anger and brought her home. The woman had the same face as Ruyi...

Similar images and pictures often appeared in his mind. Sometimes he would lie on a rocking chair in Liuye Village, with a little maid behind him massaging his shoulders, and in front of him was the graceful figure of Miss Liu dancing with a sword, and from the corner of his eye he could see Ruyi busy in the kitchen...

Then, Qin Yu and the hateful faces of the King of Shu would appear at the right time------then he would wake up, eat, and continue to feel sleepy after eating, and so on.

"What should I do? My uncle has been sleeping for five days." The little maid sat on the stone bench in the yard, her face full of worry.

Apart from his special love of sleeping, my uncle didn't have any other abnormalities. At first, I thought he was sick. Later, I even invited the imperial physician in the palace, but the imperial physician couldn't tell what was wrong. He didn't even prescribe a prescription and said that my uncle was the best doctor. What a lousy imperial physician. The medical skills he learned are all lies!

A figure with his hands behind his back walked out of the house, and the little maid ran over in a hurry.

Ruyi, who had been waiting outside, walked over immediately and asked, "Second uncle, what's wrong?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "This is his own demon barrier. It will pass naturally if he walks out. If he can't walk out..."

Before the second uncle finished speaking, he left the yard with his hands behind his back.

"How is this possible? My husband's martial arts are not high. How could he encounter a demon barrier..." Ruyi glanced into the house and her face turned a little pale.

Miss Liu Er's knuckles holding the sword turned slightly white, and she felt a little panic for no reason in her heart, which was even more than the cold war between the two not long ago.

She couldn't help but think of the Chinese Valentine's Day last year, and the side of him that she had never seen when he was alone - did he always exist?

What was he lonely about?

Li Yi felt very tired, his forehead was full of sweat, and many wounds on his body were oozing blood, but he never put down the Qiu Shui in his hand.

Because there were countless people in front of him, ten Qin Yu, eight Shu Kings, six Wu Ying, and countless men with scars on their faces. He kept slashing and killing them one by one until he was exhausted and fell to the ground powerlessly.

He saw two Qin Yus rushing up with strange smiles on their faces, the King of Shu sneered behind him, and Wu Ying looked at him coldly with a sword in his arms...

At the critical moment, Li Yi silently said in his heart: 'As you wish, as you wish, as I wish, please show your spirit quickly...'

Then, a figure appeared.

A white and slender hand grasped Qiu Shui, dressed in white, one person and one sword, with sword light all over his eyes. One Qin Yu fell down, two Qin Yu fell down, and all eight Kings of Shu fell down. After a moment, there was only that standing figure left in front of him.

At this time, the woman turned around, facing the corpses on the ground, and slowly stretched out her hand to him.

Li Yi raised his hand with great effort, held her hand tightly, and then woke up.

He saw Miss Liu Er standing in front of the bed looking at him, holding Qiu Shui in one hand, and the other hand was held tightly by him.

The morning sun shone through the window, a little dazzling.

Li Yi squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Miss Liu Er, and spoke softly.

"Morning..."
