Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 145 So don't make fun of others casually
The battle of Huaiyang Pass was over, and Li Shizong rewarded the generals of Tiance Mansion, and also rewarded the martial arts sects that participated in the battle. As for those martial arts people in the wild, as long as they returned with Tiance Mansion, they can also go to the Military Merit Office to receive rewards.
Although the people from Jianghu came in response to the call from all over the country, Li Shizong still remembered this favor.
On the day of the reward, Chang'an stood on a nearby palace tower and looked out expectantly for a long time. She had heard that Li Si had also participated in this battle, so she thought that maybe she could meet him this time, and maybe even have a few words with him.
Unfortunately, she didn't see the familiar figure until the evening. She thought she had missed him. On the palace building, the figure stood alone leaning against the railing, looking a little lonely.
The rumors about the battle at Huaiyang Pass also circulated in the martial arts world for some time.
There are many such rumors, and the contents of each rumor are different. Some are about the Tang Sect's heavenly net formation, some are about Gong Buqi's hammer, and some are about the meals cooked by Taoists.
In short, the gossips that people in the underworld like to talk about are not restricted by anything, as long as they are interesting.
Among them, the one that was mentioned the most was naturally the thief who caused the most trouble in the entire underworld.
The sword that Li Si struck from the sky that day was seen by many people. After it spread, it was naturally judged by many people.
Some people said that he was about to become invincible, and that everyone had underestimated him in the past. He was not just the fastest in the world, he was the best in the world, and his speed had reached the point of being indestructible.
This was said by a traveler who was chatting loudly in a restaurant.
Some people said that they heard that he fainted in the formation, and guessed that his talent was too high, which made the gods taboo. They were afraid that he would ascend to heaven in broad daylight, so they planned to take him away early and let him enter reincarnation again.
This was said by a street swindler who was a fraud.
Some people also say that he is now in Baihua Valley, receiving treatment.
This was said by a swordsman who was dressed like a rice dumpling. After saying that, he turned and left.
The situation in the world remains the same as always, with many different opinions.
As for Li Si, he now has a rare moment of peace and quiet.
Four months had passed since he woke up, and he was now recuperating in Baihua Valley.
When he had nothing to do on weekdays, he would teach Shu Hu Nu to practice sword. He had to admit that Shu Hu Heng's last three moves were really difficult, so difficult that Shu Hu Nu still hadn't fully learned them.
As for the last words he said, Li Si also relayed them to Shu Hunu truthfully.
After hearing this, the tiger girl didn't say anything, but just practiced swordsmanship more diligently.
At the same time, Li Si would occasionally help the disciples of Baihua Valley take care of the medicinal herbs and explain the medicinal properties of these herbs to them, as a way to compensate them for what they had suffered for him in the past.
Li Si thought he knew a lot about medicinal herbs. After all, he had eaten most of them himself many times, so he could never stop talking about them.
But most of the disciples of Baihua Valley listened attentively. Sometimes, some disciples passing by would stay to listen in. Later, some people would even bring paper and pen to attend the class.
They had never known before that this annoying thief actually knew so much. It seemed that he was not so annoying after all.
In addition, Li Si had a good temper and was always smiling, so gradually, the disciples of Baihua Valley stopped avoiding him. Sometimes when they saw him walking alone outside, they would go up to him and help him walk for a while.
Hua Junjun was very dissatisfied with this. She always said that if this continued, all the disciples in her sect would be abducted by Li Si.
Li Si had no choice but to stand aside and smile bitterly, not knowing what he had done wrong again.
…
"prick!"
In a small courtyard, the sword energy cut through the air and rolled up a few fallen leaves on the ground. The tiger girl flipped over and fell down, holding the long sword horizontally at her side.
"Cough." On one side of the yard, Li Si, who was sitting under the eaves, coughed. He was wearing a black animal skin cloak and said to the tiger girl with a smile.
"It's ok, come and take a rest."
She hasn't had any rest since morning.
"Okay." Shu Hu Nu turned around and looked at Li Si, obediently put away the sword in her hand, walked to the edge of the yard, sat next to Li Si, picked up the teapot, and poured him another cup of tea.
The animal skin cloak on Li Si was brought by Dugu Bufu. He had come here four times in the past four months. He didn't know whether the road between Huanqing Mountain and Baihua Valley was really so close that he could come here like taking a walk after dinner.
The weather is turning cold again, and Li Si cannot afford to catch a cold, so Dugu Bufu gave him this animal skin cloak.
Some people say that everyone will eventually become the person they hate, but Li Si would never understand why he ended up becoming the person he himself laughed at.
He has now turned into a rice dumpling.
Hearing that he was ill, Tie Muyi came to Baihua Valley twice.
He escaped once when his mother was punishing him by making him copy scriptures. He struggled hard to sneak out of the study.
Once he came with his mother. When she saw Li Si's appearance, Aunt Tie's eyes turned red and she kept scolding Li Si for not knowing how to take care of himself and just doing things recklessly.
But she just scolded him, and while scolding him, she also helped Li Si clean up the yard, just because she said that a sick person couldn't stand the dust.
Jiang Lian'er brought Yun'er here once. When they came, Yun'er helped Li Si cook a pot of red date porridge. It must be said that the porridge cooked by Yun'er was Li Si's favorite.
Liu Ran sent a painting. In the painting, he was standing alone beside Yanshan Lake. On the lake, a group of flying geese were flying in a row.
There is a sentence written on the side of the painting: The geese finally fly south, and then they will return north.
Li Si didn't think about what this meant. Anyway, these scholars always spoke in a roundabout way, so he was too lazy to think about it.
It is worth mentioning that Yan Tingzhi also came once, but he did not come in. He just talked to Hua Junjun outside the door about the situation and left. However, when he left, he seemed a little lonely. He rode out of the mountain alone in the drizzle.
"You have improved your swordsmanship quite well in this period of time."
Under the eaves, Li Si drank tea and said to Shu Hu Nu with a chuckle.
"Once you get more practice, there shouldn't be any problem."
"Yeah." The tiger girl responded softly and raised her hand to help Li Si pull his cloak tighter. The wind was a little strong today, and Li Si shouldn't have gone out.
Looking at the tiger-manager who was lowering her head to help him adjust his cloak, Li Si was silent for a moment, the smile on his face faded a little, and then he spoke.
"My dear girl, if you want to leave one day, just leave and find a stable family, so you don't have to wander around the world anymore."
At the collar, the tiger girl's hand paused for a moment, then she put it down and spoke.
"I'm not going away."
She has nowhere to go, right?
After hearing this answer, Li Si said nothing more. He just looked at Shu Hu Nu for a while, then silently moved his eyes away.
The wind became stronger again. The tiger girl raised her head, looked at Li Si and said.
"It's cold, let me help you go back to your room to rest."
"Yeah." Li Si smiled helplessly and nodded, raised his hand to support Shu Hunu's shoulders, and stood up.
In October, the autumn atmosphere in the world becomes even deeper.
