Chapter 314: Returning Home (1)

After about ten days, Saitama's body recovered well, and the injuries on Magpie's body were almost healed. The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is difficult to walk on the snowy road if it drags on, and the time to come out is not short, Li Yi plans to leave for Qingcheng. He arranged for some people to take the letters and tokens between himself and Saitama to Jiangnan to pick up Brother An, because Saitama's nurse Mother Li's legs were inconvenient, so he asked Qiushuang and Zhang Bao to stay in Jiangnan to take care of Qi, and only let Liang'er and Bicao take Brother An to Qingcheng.

The carriage in which Saitama and the others arrived had been destroyed in the bandits, so they had to hire another car for the three female dependents to ride, and Tang Yong still drove. Li Yi led his men to surround the carriage in the middle, and a group of more than ten people set off towards Qingcheng.

The town in Qishan is no longer the same as in the past, because it has been looted by mountain bandits, almost every family is gone, and there are not many things in the store, it seems that the whole town is filled with a desolate atmosphere, and it will take a long time to restore the former prosperity.

Li Yi and their entourage barely stopped on the road and left Qishan. The scenery outside Qishan is very different from the inland, the sky is unusually high, the blue mountains in the distance are towering, and the ground is a large grassland, although it is no longer green in spring and summer, showing a kind of earthy yellow, but it is still magnificent, and occasionally you can see a small river meandering in it, adding some grace to the desolation.

Saitama had very few opportunities to go out, and when he went out of Beijing, he was too young to remember anything, and when he returned to Beijing, he didn't have much opportunity to see the outside world because of the constraints of etiquette. The folk customs of the side plug are open, and Saitama can also generously lift the curtain on the car window to see the beautiful scenery outside the plug. But the wind on the grassland is as sharp as a knife, and Li Yi is afraid that Saitama will be weak and can't stand it, so he always stops her, which makes Saitama itch more and more.

Li Yi is also understanding, the weather is warm at noon, and the wind is not strong, so he asked Saitama to get out of the carriage, ride on the horse, and sit in the back by himself, so that she can feel the feeling of galloping. Saitama is naturally happy, and it is so pleasant to be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and enjoy the pleasure of riding. Suddenly feel that the women in the capital have been pitiful and pathetic all their lives, imprisoned in that small world, revolving around their husbands and children, and fighting to the death with their concubines, what is the fun of that kind of life?

If she used to be a little afraid of Qingcheng's future life, now she is full of yearning and longing.

Li Yi could also feel Saitama's change in mood, and couldn't help but be secretly happy that he had made this decision, his wife might not be the kind of woman who likes to be locked in a golden wire cage and live a carefree life.

However, he arrived in Qingcheng in a few days, and Li Yi was naturally inconvenient to go with his subordinates at this time, so he divided into two groups and entered the city first.

The city was very lively, and Saitama opened a corner of the car curtain and saw the pedestrians on the street. There are all kinds of shops, tea houses, wine shops, and restaurants one after another. There are also many stalls on the street, some selling clothes, all kinds of groceries, and all kinds of food. The people on the street are also dressed differently, many of them do not seem to be from the Central Plains, especially many young girls and daughters-in-law do not wear any hats and masks on the street, they are dressed in bright colors, and their clothes and hairstyles are very different from those of the Central Plains.

After the last peace talks, the border trade in Qingcheng became lively, not only Daqin, but also the surrounding merchants of Daxia and Daliang also took their domestic goods to sell here. Therefore, the number of foreign products here is richer than that of the capital, and the folk customs are more open, and the taboos against women are naturally not as many as those in the Central Plains. Not only can women walk on the streets at will, but it is not uncommon for them to enter and exit restaurants and wine shops, and even more so to open shops and do business.

For these different bustles from the Central Plains, not only Saitama is not only strange to see, but also the spring warblers and magpies are even more dizzying, and they can't wait to get out of the car immediately to feel it for themselves.

The carriage went on for about half an hour before finally stopping. Li Yi helped Saitama get out of the car, and a small courtyard appeared in front of Saitama's eyes. The high courtyard walls and the door are covered with blue bricks to form a simple and simple one, and the two black lacquered gates are solid and heavy, which looks no different from ordinary solid people.

Li Yi pushed open the courtyard door, helped Saitama around the shadow wall, and came to the front yard, which was a square courtyard with three rooms on the front and two wings on each side. To the left of the main house is a long and narrow aisle, which connects to the middle courtyard at the back.

The three main rooms are separated by wooden lattices. The middle one is a living room, with two black lacquer official hat chairs on the top, a small square table of the same color in the middle of the bottom, and two rows of the same black lacquer circle chairs lined up with goose wings. In the middle of the room on the left is a large round table and several drum stools, which serves as a dining room. The one on the right is arranged in the shape of a study, and a long strip of large bookcase is placed against the window, on which are placed pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc.

There is no decoration in the house, unlike the house in the Kokukofu, where all the antiquities of the previous dynasty are picked up, but it is simple and practical, and Saitama is also satisfied.

The structure of the middle courtyard is similar to that of the front yard, that is, it is smaller, and the courtyard at the back is larger, and there are a few pots of flowers. The main room is naturally used by Li Yi and his wife, and the wing room on one side is given to Que'er, and the other side is reserved for Brother An'er who is coming. Chunying and his wife lived in a wing room in the middle courtyard.

The main room is also three, and the middle one is arranged for Saitama's daily living, with an arhat bed and several circle chairs underneath. The one on the left is a bedroom for two people, and the one on the right is a small dining room for two people to eat on a regular basis.

Saitama asked Chunying to help Que'er clean up the house, and he and Li Yi went to the bedroom to rest first. In the bedroom there was a wooden bed with a beige muslin hanging from it, and next to it was a wardrobe and several chests. Two rose-hoop chairs in front of the window, one small table. Nothing else.

"The conditions of this place are really bad, I have wronged you. Li Yi also knew that the house was simple, and he was really guilty of letting his wife live in such a place. But even so, after he knew that Saitama was coming, he changed to a slightly larger yard, bought some furniture temporarily, and cleaned it up. It's not as good as the capital.

"What's so bad, it's already good, you see how many people don't even have a shelter from the elements. I have seen many people suffering along the way, and I think that I used to feel sorry for myself, but at least I had no worries about food and clothing. Knowing the suffering of others, you should cherish your own blessings. ”

Li Yi held Saitama's hand,

"I see that you are still not enough for the two of Que'er and Chunying, and you have to buy a few more maids, Ming'er, I will ask Ya Po to bring some more people." ”

"I can handle all these things, but I've been in charge of the house for a few years. I know that if you stay in Qingcheng, you must have something to do, so you can be busy with your own affairs from tomorrow onwards, and don't worry about me. With you by my side these days, I don't know how satisfying I am. ”

Saitama looked into Li Yi's eyes and said with a smile.
