Chapter 7, Difficult Circumstances
As a mountain bandit, what I should learn are the specialized skills of fighting, killing, and highway robbery. What good can I learn in a school?
Having just arrived, Li Yi was still not very familiar with everything here and did not dare to voice any objections
In the past, whenever Li Yi watched movies or TV dramas and the term "shanzhai" was mentioned, there was always a character named Heifeng...
The devilish girl scrutinized Li Yi with a peculiar gaze for a long time, before turning her head away with a haughty demeanor, leaving behind a cool silhouette that gradually receded into the distance
Although the Willow Leaf Village does not sound as imposing as the Black Wind Village, their nature is largely the same; both are groups of mountain bandits. Those who prefer a rough style are called Black Wind Village, while those who are slightly more refined and fresh are referred to as Clear Wind Village or Willow Leaf Village, which also gives an impression of cultural depth
Can we still expect them to become top scholars in the future
No, he was picked by the peach!
By learning these, can they become qualified bandits in the future
This is indeed a world where even the mountain bandits have no surplus grain, and the situation... seems to be even more serious than he had imagined
For a long time
Basic Etiquette of Highway Robbery
If it were not for Liu Ruyi's strong measures and the group of loyal brothers to the Liu family lineage, the direct lineage would have long since become a mere name.
It must be said that the educational concepts of ancient people were quite backward. Although it is indeed important to start education from a young age, they clearly took a wrong approach in this regard
Li Yi let out a sigh
He is almost illiterate himself now
However, the situation in Liuye Village is somewhat different
At present, he is still largely unaware of this place, and at this moment, Xiao Huan has become his only means of understanding this village.
The Self-Cultivation of a Mountain Bandit
At that time, the exceptionally wise leader of the Liu clan made a clever choice to cease hostilities. In a very short period, he accomplished a magnificent transformation from a mountain bandit to a law-abiding citizen, establishing roots in Liuye Village. You farm while I weave, you fetch water while I tend the garden, and we became ordinary citizens who uphold the five virtues and four beauties.
According to common reasoning, a place named something like "Gou" or "Zhai" is certainly not a good place
The previous subordinates who followed orders without question have either dispersed or remained, ultimately shaping the current scale of Liuyezhai.
When the young maid spoke of these matters, her small mouth was puffed up in anger, and her pretty face was filled with indignation.
No wonder the young man looked at him that night with such eyes... He indeed had taken his peach.
Li Yi felt that he was living here without any human rights. That old man, whose half-buried body was almost in the ground, pointed at him and said a lot of things. After finalizing the arrangement for him to become the teacher at the village school, he walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back. His nominally beautiful wife gave him a slight nod before also leaving the place
Unknowingly, he has already immersed himself in his current identity
The young maid was taken aback upon hearing this, and then shook her head, saying: "There is not much food at home to begin with, and we usually have only two meals a day. The young lady said that the young master did not eat anything all day yesterday, and she was worried that he might be hungry, so she instructed Xiao Huan to prepare a little thin porridge for the young master in the morning..."
The lord of the stronghold... also has dignity!" Only Li Yi remained standing in place, with a face full of sorrow
Thus, Li Yi became their first venture in once again playing the role of bandits
It seemed that the maid felt that this son-in-law was not only good-looking but also very approachable, so she gradually let go of her reservations. As a result, from her, Li Yi learned more things.
After dozens of bandit factions that had risen during the chaotic times were eradicated by the military, the Liu clan, in order to preserve their lineage, naturally sought new avenues for survival
The Economic Principles of the Distribution of Stolen Goods
What does Xiao Huan usually do
... ...
At this time, if one still claims to be a righteous bandit under the banner of avenging heaven, it can only be said that they are utterly lacking in insight
For someone who does not know how long they have been hungry, a bowl of thin porridge is hardly even a base layer; in such a short time, Li Yi's hunger became unbearable again
The decision to serve as a teacher at the Willow Leaf Village School has been made with great pleasure
Indeed, he pondered for quite some time in his heart about the fact that there was actually a school in the bandit stronghold
To speak honestly, apart from not being very enthusiastic in her demeanor, this nominal wife is quite good to him, a fact that Li Yi cannot deny
The young maid chattered as she walked away, and Li Yi looked up at the sky, feeling a slight gloom in his heart
The young maid appeared somewhat reserved, sitting there with a look of unease, and softly said: "Usually, Xiao Huan serves by the young lady's side. Since the young master has just arrived, the young lady said to let Xiao Huan attend to the young master for a while first"
However, even though the true power holders of Liuye Village are still the Liu family, the Liu family has long been fragmented and unable to unite.
It is said that in the early years, when the Jing state was still in a state of chaos, warlords vied for power, and the common people were displaced, living in dire straits, an ancestor of the Liu clan raised the banner and established his own domain, claiming the mountains as his kingdom, becoming a tyrant in the Green Willow Mountain. He gathered a group of followers, engaging in activities that ostensibly served the heavens but were, in fact, the deeds of bandits and robbers.
... ...
"This little maid, so easily shy..." Li Yi looked at the girl with interest before asking, "Um... Xiao Huan, where is the kitchen, and is there anything to eat?"
The head of the Liu family's direct lineage passed away early, and now only the sisters Liu Ruyi and Liu Ruyi remain. Although Liu Ruyi appears to still be the leader on the surface, in reality, the other branches of the Liu family have long been discontent with her and are secretly plotting to seize the resources of the direct lineage.
At this moment, Li Yi has already understood that Liu Ruyi is his nominal wife, while Liu Ruyi is the devilish girl who captured him and took him up the mountain yesterday
The reason he was bound and made to serve as a captive husband is that the direct lineage has been continuously pressuring Liu Ruyi to marry. Once she is married, the resources of the legitimate line will inevitably be divided among them
The young girl with twin buns nervously twisted the corner of her garment and said softly, "You can just call me Xiaohuan, my lord."
That... Li Yi turned his head to look at the young maid standing there with a lively demeanor, scratched his head, and asked, "What is your name?"
After several decades, a great ruler finally unified the Jing State, bringing an end to the chaotic times and liberating the entire Jing State, allowing the people to live and thrive in peace.
Furthermore, how would Li Yi know how to teach? What would he teach them?
With nothing to do, and having finally found someone to talk to, Li Yi simply took two small stools and forcibly pulled Xiao Huan to sit outside and chat
The situation is not optimistic at all
The place where I currently find myself is called Willow Leaf Village, leaving aside the outside world for the moment
Before the man becomes the king of bandits and traverses the great mountain roads—before the dream of retiring early and enjoying a worry-free old age is realized—it seems that there is still a long way to go
