Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 150: The Plans of the Elders of Baihua Valley
"So, you mean to say that he was ill and had been staying in Baihua Valley for the past ten years to recover?"
In the room, after listening to Yan Tingzhi's account of everything that had happened before and after, Bai Yaoer sat at the table, lowered her head slightly, and asked in an unclear voice.
"Yes." Yan Tingzhi nodded, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes, as if he was a little tired, and a little sad.
"So how is he now?" Bai Yaoer asked again.
"I don't know." Perhaps feeling a little groggy again, Yan Tingzhi answered while holding his forehead.
"I haven't seen him for a long time."
How long has it been? At most, it’s been almost ten years.
"I understand." Bai Yaoer stood up from the table, lowered her head, turned around, and said to Yan Tingzhi with her back to him.
"Well, I'm sorry to bother you so much. I'll take my leave now."
"Yeah." Yan Tingzhi responded while leaning against the head of the bed. He probably had no intention of leaving the hotel to see the guest off.
He waited until Bai Yaoer pushed open the door and walked out before he turned around and glanced at her back. After a while, he slowly shook his head and lay back on the bed.
…
In Baihua Valley, the weather today was just right. The sky was clear and the clouds were light. The sunlight shone on the flowers and plants in the valley, and the gentle breeze caressed them, swaying the branches slightly.
After spending the New Year at Dugu Bufu's place, Li Si returned here. In the past ten years, he has hardly left Baihua Valley. One reason is that he cannot walk too far, and the other is that he needs Hua Junjun to help him take care of , and now, that time is coming soon.
It is undeniable that Li Si owed Baihua Valley a great favor in the past ten years. Whether it was the various herbs used on him or the things Hua Junjun did for him, these were not favors that could be repaid easily.
For this reason, Li Si could only help Baihua Valley by doing things within his ability on weekdays to make up for the guilt in his heart.
Today, he not only teaches the disciples of Baihua Valley pharmacology, but also guides them in martial arts training. Don't underestimate him, no matter what, he is a famous master, and there is no problem in guiding some disciples in martial arts.
Moreover, the flying needles and hidden weapons used in Baihua Valley have many similarities, so from a certain perspective, the suggestions put forward by Li Si are always quite constructive.
Even the elders in the valley didn't know as much as he did about some obscure things.
At the same time, he was also responsible for handling some of the sect's affairs. After staying in Baihua Valley for a while, Li Si realized that Hua Junjun was a complete hands-off boss who didn't care about anything on weekdays. Most of the sect's affairs were left to the disciples and a few elders, and Li Si's arrival just helped them share some of the trouble.
Of course, none of them were important jobs, most of them were trivial matters like rewarding and punishing disciples.
However, it is worth mentioning that the disciples of Baihua Valley seem to like Li Si to take care of these things. As for the reason, it is probably because Li Si is easier to talk to. Minor mistakes can sometimes be exempted from punishment, and for slightly bigger mistakes, the punishment can be lighter if you ask for mercy.
For this reason, the second elder who was originally in charge of rewards and punishments had several talks with Li Si, repeatedly stating that Li Si should be stricter and not let the disciples be spoiled. However, usually, Li Si just listened with a smile.
The Second Elder could only roll her eyes and shake her head at his good-natured character. After all, Li Si had helped her a lot.
It must be admitted that with what Li Si did in Baihua Valley, it is no problem to give him a regular position. If Baihua Valley did not accept male disciples, several elders would have wanted to train Li Si as the next elder.
Where can you find such a hardworking and diligent child?
Sometimes the elders would sigh among themselves and ask why he was just a man, and whether there was any way in the world to turn a man into a woman... Of course, Li Si didn't know about these little thoughts of the elders, otherwise he probably wouldn't dare to stay for even a day and would have turned around and run away.
…
"Dragon's beard grass is hot in nature and sweet in taste. It has the effects of soothing the spleen, restoring yang and rescuing adverse conditions, replenishing fire and boosting yang, and dispelling cold and relieving pain..."
In Baicao Hall, Li Si was holding a medicinal herb that looked like hair and beard and explaining it to a group of disciples.
The whole morning today was filled with his classes, and a lot of disciples came. It can be said that his pharmacology class always had the most people, even more than the Great Elder's.
The reason is that he can always point out some differences from the book, and can also describe the details in more detail. After all, it is because he has taken it himself and has analyzed the medicinal properties, so naturally it is different from what he learned from just reading the book.
I could always learn something new when listening to him talk about medicine, so sometimes a few elders would come over to listen.
In the classroom, Li Si spoke for half an hour. Just when he felt a little thirsty and was about to have a sip of tea.
A disciple walked in from outside the door, bowed to Li Si and said.
"Mr. Li, the Valley Master asked you to come over, saying that it's time for recuperation."
Li Si was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, smiled at his disciple, nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. You go back first and tell your Valley Master, I will be there soon."
"Yes." The disciple responded and walked out of the hall.
Watching the disciple leave, Li Si also stood up from the hall, took out a stack of papers from his arms, and spoke to the disciples sitting in the hall.
"That's all for today's class. I've left some homework for everyone. Please pass it around, go back and finish it, and hand it in to me next time."
"Thank you Mr. Li for the lecture." All the disciples said in unison.
A person from the front row came up, took the paper from Li Si's hand, and distributed it to everyone.
Li Si smiled as he watched his disciples gradually disperse, then picked up a cloak from beside him and put it back on his shoulders.
In fact, if possible, it would be nice to be able to retire like this, he thought.
It’s a pity that he doesn’t belong here after all, at least not in his memory.
Maybe he will have to wait until one day he dies, drinks the bowl of Meng Po soup, forgets everything, and then be able to reintegrate into the next world.
"Huh." Li Si let out a breath, watched the condensed white mist dissipate in front of him, and walked out the door.
Outside the door, the tiger girl was waiting there, chatting with a passing disciple. The topic seemed to be going to the other's house for snacks next time.
Over the years, Shu Hu Nu has also made some friends in Baihua Valley.
Seeing Li Si coming out, Shu Hu said goodbye to the disciples around her, walked to Li Si and supported him.
"Okay, you actually want to go eat behind my back?" Li Si looked at the tiger girl with a smile and said jokingly.
When the tiger girl heard this, her face turned red, and she spoke hesitantly as if she had been discovered doing something.
"I'll bring it to you."
"How can you go to someone else's house to eat and then take away food?" Li Si laughed out loud, then shook his head and said.
"Okay, I'm just teasing you, go have some fun, okay?"
It is also a happy thing for Shuhu Girl to have some friends.
"Yeah." The tiger girl responded and lowered her head, her face looking even more embarrassed.
