In the long river of history, Li Yi could not find any familiar elements related to his memories. There were names of countries that he had never heard of, important events that he was unfamiliar with, and the wheel of history that had gone astray at some point in time …
No, this wasn't going astray, this was clearly two carriages going in different directions.
It was actually … empty!
He had thought that the development of history was in his hands, and that he could hug onto a very thick thigh, and it wouldn't be a problem for him to have a meteoric rise in the future. Now, all of this had become a pipe dream.
The only thing that comforted him was that being a transmigrator still had its benefits. After all, his brain was filled with an entire province's library of books and information. Although most of the knowledge was useless in this world, there was one function that he was very satisfied with.
Li Yi had already discovered that any book that he touched with his hands would immediately appear in his mind. As for the contents of the book, he could also grasp it in an extremely short period of time and memorize it very firmly.
In this way, at least the language of this world wasn't a difficult thing for him.
Although he didn't want to take the path of the imperial examinations, Li Yi didn't want to be illiterate. Otherwise, it would really be a waste of his pretty face.
At the very least, he could recite poems, do some couplets, and seduce a little girl … Of course, these things could only be thought of now. Otherwise, he might end up like the wooden table that didn't provoke anyone last night.
The chubby face of a young servant girl with some baby fat appeared in front of Li Yi.
"Young master, it's time to eat."
He didn't feel anything at first, but when the young servant girl stood in front of him with a tray, Li Yi felt an unbearable hunger in his stomach. It seemed that he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning. When he looked over, he was a little dumbfounded.
On the tray, there was a lonely porcelain bowl.
There was porridge in the bowl, and only a few grains of rice could be counted at the bottom. It was so thin that it could even reflect Li Yi's handsome face.
"You … usually eat this?" Li Yi looked at the young servant girl and asked with some uncertainty.
The maid nodded, completely crushing Li Yi's hopes.
He had thought that he would be able to live a happy life without worrying about food or clothing, but now it seemed that even a bandit's family didn't have any surplus food!
…
…
As it turned out, porridge was still porridge. To Li Yi, who was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, this wasn't porridge, it was his life!
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Li Yi actually felt that this was the best porridge he had ever eaten in his life …
After two mouthfuls, the bowl of porridge was almost empty. Li Yi put down the bowl and looked at the maidservant eagerly.
The girl blushed a little under his gaze. She took a step back and said in a soft voice, "Son-in-law, there's no more …"
When Li Yi heard this, his expression changed. Life here was different from what he had imagined!
It seemed that he had to change his idea of retiring. At the very least, he had to solve the problem of food first. As a qualified foodie, Li Yi felt that he would go crazy if he ate this kind of porridge every day.
After a bowl of porridge, at least he didn't feel that hungry anymore. Li Yi also felt a little better.
"Second Young Miss!" While Li Yi was lost in thought, the young servant girl inadvertently turned around and suddenly bowed in the direction of the door.
Li Yi instinctively looked back and saw an extremely beautiful girl dressed in white walking in from the door.
The moment he saw this girl, Li Yi's expression changed and he couldn't help but take two steps back. He looked at her with a vigilant expression and said, "You … What do you want?"
The girl's appearance was delicate and charming. She was not inferior to the absolute beauty that Li Yi had seen the night before. Her white clothes showed off her exquisite figure. When she saw Li Yi's actions and expression, the girl looked at him with a faint disdainful expression.
Li Yi would never forget that this girl had sat on a horse and waved at those ferocious bandits. Then, his tragic life had begun.
Even now, his lower abdomen still hurt faintly.
The reason why he was in his current situation was all thanks to this demon-like girl.
If it wasn't for her, Li Yi would still be being chased by those two burly men and burned to death. Or he would be somewhere in the wilderness worrying about starvation. He might even be thinking about where he could stay at night so that he wouldn't be eaten by wolves …
Not only did he have a place to stay, he had porridge to drink, a beautiful wife, and a maidservant to order around. So for this girl, should Li Yi actually … thank her?
When he thought about it this way, Li Yi felt that the girl in front of him didn't seem so hateful.
Now, he only hoped to be a quiet young man who ate melons. After solving the problem of food, he could retire and live out his days in the mountains …
Li Yi was still daydreaming when he saw the girl called Liu Ruyi, who was also his wife in name, walk in with a hunchbacked old man with grizzled hair.
The old man wore a plain robe. His body looked frail and his face was full of wrinkles. He looked kind, and at this moment, he was looking at him with half-closed eyes.
Li Yi maintained sufficient vigilance against this old man. In his opinion, any old man who looked kind could be a lunatic who would call for people to catch him and roast him over a fire at the next moment.
He had almost been tricked to death by the old man he had met previously. He probably wouldn't be able to change this kind of thinking in a short period of time.
"Cough … cough …" The old man looked at him for a long time. Finally, a satisfied look appeared in his murky eyes. He nodded and said, "It's good to be a scholar, it's good to be a scholar …"
"This handsome appearance is much better than the distant nephew of second brother's wife's wife. Tsk tsk, he's also a scholar … Our village lacks scholars." The old man seemed to be quite satisfied with his first impression of Li Yi. He muttered, "What's so good about fighting and killing all day? Unbearably vulgar, unbearably vulgar … To think that your great-grandfather was also a scholar. This bunch of disappointing people didn't inherit any of his abilities …"
The girl in white looked at the old man proudly and said, "Of course, don't you know who chose him …"
"Good, good!"
The old man laughed and waved his hand. He said, "Mr. Qin of the school broke his leg a few months ago. I'm afraid he won't be able to stand up again. The little guys have been making trouble in the village all day, and I'm annoyed to see them. Now it's good that we Willow Leaf Village don't raise idle people. It's good to let him go to the school to be a teacher, so that those little guys can't always hang around in front of me."
"Listen to Second Uncle." The girl called Liu Ruyi said softly.
Li Yi stood there in a daze. He had a feeling of being treated as air, and his sense of existence was extremely low.
This matter was related to him. Why did they make such a hasty decision without asking if he had any opinions?
Teacher?
He was ready to retire. Who would want to do such a boring thing?
