With Uncle Han's decades of carpentry skills, there were only a few details that needed to be improved on. Li Yi put down the rice and noodles, pointed out the few improvements, and walked out of the courtyard not long after.
He wanted to leave some money as a reward, but Uncle Han insisted on not accepting it, so he could only give up.
When he returned home, Liu Ruyi was still thinking about the question he left behind before he left.
"Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
Actually, Li Yi did not know the answer to this question. Even in the 21st century, this was a question that the scientific community debated endlessly. There were all kinds of theories circulating on the internet, but at least before Li Yi left, there was no conclusion as to whether it was correct or not.
If one pondered over this question for a long time, it might become a question of philosophers and extend to the question of the origin of mankind or the universe …
"I don't know …" Li Yi answered honestly.
"You. Don't. Know!" Liu Ruyi clenched her teeth tightly. She actually did not know the answer to this question that she had racked her brains for!
It seemed that there was a need to spar with him during the practice tomorrow to see how well he had mastered those moves.
Seeing that she was on the verge of going berserk, the resentment that had accumulated over the past few days finally dissipated a little. However, when her expression returned to normal the next moment, Li Yi had an inexplicable feeling that something was wrong.
"Oh yeah, do you have any convenient hidden weapons?" He shook his head to the back of his head and asked her.
Although he had been practicing his saber skills for the past few days, the few moves that he had learned could only be used to deal with ordinary people. If he encountered someone who knew a little bit of martial arts, it would not make a difference whether he had a weapon or not.
Practicing martial arts was not something that could be done overnight. In order to increase his sense of security, he needed to find another way.
"No," Liu Ruyi said without thinking.
Among all kinds of weapons, hidden weapons had always been looked down upon by the righteous people as an unorthodox method. In the martial world, those who had a little bit of fame would not use hidden weapons.
Then, she added, "Even if you do, you won't be able to use it with your current skills."
Li Yi knew that she was telling the truth. After all, one must have enough strength to throw a dart to hurt someone. Although he was slightly stronger than an ordinary person under Ruyi's hellish training, he was still far from that level.
He rolled his eyes at Liu Ruyi and said, "That's why I'm asking if you have any convenient hidden weapons that can be used by ordinary people. For example, have you heard of Pear Blossom Storm Needles? When they are used, blood will be drawn. If there's poison on them, even a normal person can kill a martial artist. "
"Never heard of it." Liu Ruyi shook his head and said, "There are a few sects in Jianghu that specialize in using concealed weapons, and they may have the concealed weapons you mentioned. As for coating the concealed weapons with poison … this is a taboo in Jianghu. Once the matter is exposed, you will be hunted by the entire Jianghu. On the path of martial arts, practicing diligently is the right path. Don't think about taking the crooked path all day long. "
In Jianghu, there were both good and evil sects. But no matter who was good or evil, they all despised this kind of despicable behavior of secretly hurting people. A martial artist with excellent martial arts was killed by an ordinary person with a poisonous concealed weapon. It was too unjust, and there was no dignity of a martial artist at all.
Therefore, for this kind of thing, the two sects that had always been at odds with each other actually reached an agreement to resist it together. In Jianghu, martial artists who were famous for their concealed weapons were rare.
Originally, he just wanted to ask her about concealed weapons. It would be best if he could get a suitable concealed weapon. In the end, not only did he not achieve his goal, but he was also taught a lesson by her for no reason.
There was still half a month before he took office. Since he had nothing to do, Li Yi decided to take a look at his land.
Ten thousand gold was ten thousand copper coins, but there was no such trick on the land. He said it was one hundred acres of fertile land, and it was really one hundred acres.
He didn't know if the low-ranking official who divided the land did it on purpose, but the land that was divided for Li Yi happened to be in the Li family village.
But thinking about it, a low-ranking official shouldn't have this power, and the person who finally agreed on this matter should be County Magistrate Liu.
As a matter of fact, since the day Li Yi escaped from the village, he hadn't been here again.
Led by a low-ranking official, when he walked to the Li family village, a group of people stood neatly at the entrance of the village.
As early as a few days ago, the yamen had sent someone to inform them that His Majesty had given the land here to the county magistrate, which meant that in the future, they would no longer pay rent to the government, but would give it to the county magistrate.
In the distance, they saw a person in the uniform of a bailiff leading a few people over. A white-haired old man was about to go forward, but when he saw the young man walking in the middle, a trace of joy appeared on his old face. He quickly walked up, grabbed Li Yi's arm, and said, "Hey, boy, you're finally back! Where have you been these months? The government has come to look for you several times! "
Last time, two eunuchs wanted to deliver the imperial edict to the Li family village, but they were stopped by MIngzhu. Later, they learned that Li Yi lived in the Willow Leaf Village, so they didn't come here. Therefore, the people of the Li family village didn't know that the county magistrate was the boy from the Li family who they had watched grow up.
"How can you talk to the county magistrate like that!" Seeing that the head of the Li family village was so rude to the county magistrate, the low-ranking official reprimanded him with a cold face.
"What? County, county magistrate?" The old man was stunned and looked up at Li Yi with his eyes full of doubt.
"County magistrate?"
The villagers of the Li family village who were about to come over to greet Li Yi also stopped and looked at him with surprise and doubt.
Since when did Li Xiucai become the county magistrate?
"This is the new county magistrate of this county. He was appointed by His Majesty. Don't be rude," the low-ranking official looked around and said.
It was said that County Magistrate Li grew up in Li's Village, so he must have a lot of elders here. However, things were different now. County Magistrate Li was deeply favored by the emperor. Even County Magistrate Liu specially told him to be as respectful to County Magistrate Li as he was to County Magistrate Liu. If these people still put on airs of elders in front of County Magistrate Li, it would be a little too disrespectful.
After the low-ranking official spoke again, the old man realized that the young man in front of him who he had watched grow up was no longer the junior of the Li family who only knew how to read books.
"I'm the head of the Li family village. Greetings, county magistrate." He hurriedly let go of his hand and bowed respectfully.
Seeing the first person he met after coming to this world again, Li Yi had an indescribable feeling in his heart. What happened a few months ago seemed like it happened yesterday.
If the old man hadn't asked people to arrest him, Li Yi wouldn't have escaped, and naturally, there would be no subsequent events. He wouldn't have met Ruyi, Ruyi, Xiao Huan, Fang, and of course, he wouldn't have met Li Xuan and MIngzhu. He might still be a county magistrate in the Li family village who didn't know the next meal …
Sometimes, things like fate were so magical.
The moment his life really began in this world was probably the moment when the old man shouted that he was going to be arrested.
Thinking of the old man's face full of concern when he came over just now, Li Yi smiled and went forward to help him up, saying, "Old man, please get up. I was ill a few days ago and forgot everything. May I know your name?"
Not expecting that County Magistrate Li would help him up in person, the old man was a little flattered. Seeing that County Magistrate Li was kind and more quick-witted than before, he felt relieved and said, "County Magistrate Li used to call me Uncle Li."
But he was puzzled in his heart. Why had he never heard that madness could make people lose their memories?
Hearing this, the low-ranking official frowned again.
"This old man is really insensible. Didn't I just tell him not to be rude to County Magistrate Li … The past is the past, and now is the present. Why doesn't he understand the rules?"
When he was about to speak, Li Yi waved his hand and then looked at the old man and said, "After I recovered, I really can't remember the past. Uncle Li, can you tell me what happened before?"
"Haha, you asked the right person. I watched you grow up, and I even remember clearly that you wet the bed when you were a child."
Speaking of this, the old man's face glowed and he began to talk incessantly.
