At the beginning of February, the snow was falling, and most of the people had already hid in their homes to keep warm, but in Jiuyuan County, bursts of mourning music resounded in the streets and alleys. Li Yan, after all, still failed to survive this winter.

But just like Li Yan himself said, he doesn't have any regrets about it, although Li Yi is only 11 years old, he is enough to survive in this world. Although Li Yan doesn't know what Li Yi's future path will be, he believes that his son, who has been extremely smart and mature since he was a child, will definitely be able to walk out of a sunny road.

And......

"Leave early, Father can reunite with Ah Xue sooner, although I am a little sorry for Ah Yi, but Father owes Ah Xue too much...... "Li Yan said on his deathbed.

"Master......" Lu Bu's voice sounded from behind Li Yi, and when he saw Li Yi's eyes, he said in a somewhat low tone, "Everything is ready." ”

"Really?" Li Yi replied lightly, then turned his head, looked at Li Yan's slightly pale face, and whispered, "Let's bury it......"

Following Li Yi's words, Lu Bu and Gao Shun covered the coffin lid for Li Yan, and Li Yi put nails on the coffin lid, and then Lu Bu and others put it into the pit.

"Master, do you want to say something more to the old master?" Lu Bu's tone was still so low, Li Yan died, except for Li Yi, the saddest people were probably Lu Bu and Gao Shun. Because of his outstanding talent, although he was attached to his family, Li Yan treated them like his own disciples. is also a master and a father, and that's what it feels like.

"No need, Father is anxious to see Grandma soon." Li Yi waved his hand and said in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Lu Bu and the others didn't say anything more, and buried Li Yan's coffin with everyone. From beginning to end, Li Yi just stood silently not far away and watched all this, with no joy or sadness on his expression.

"Ayi ......" Chen Gu and Guo Hong tried to say something, but the words came to their lips, and when they saw Li Yi's calm and terrible face, they only turned into a pale sentence of mourning.

"Master......" Lu Bu's voice came again, but it was already buried.

"Well, let's go back......" Li Yi nodded, but he didn't mean to move his feet at all. Seeing this, Gao Shun wanted to persuade him more, but he was stopped by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu shook his head slightly, Gao Shun saw it, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth. "County Magistrate Chen, County Shou Guo, and all ......" Lu Bu looked at everyone and just wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Guo Hong.

"We understand, but Abu and Shun, you should pay attention, don't let Ayi also get into the cold." Guo Hong sighed and replied, and then took the others back.

After they left, Lu Bu asked Gao Shun to leave with many disciples of the Li family, and he stood not far away with Xiaobai silently, quietly watching Li Yi who gradually became one with Bai Xue.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Bu suddenly heard Li Yi's voice, "Go back, otherwise your kid will also get seriously ill." Lu Bu looked up suddenly, and saw Li Yizheng looking at him and smiling.

"Master, ...... you" Lu Bu wanted to ask something, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.

"Don't worry, I'm not that vulnerable." Li Yi patted Lu Bu on the shoulder, and then walked back first.

"Hmm!" Lu Bu responded heavily, with a hint of choked in his tone, but he still held back his tears and hurriedly followed.

Li Yi is indeed as he said, not so fragile, after all, he has been psychologically prepared enough, although he is still a little sad and unaccustomed, but only when the living live better, will the deceased pass away with peace of mind, right?

Subsequently, Li Yi officially became the new head of the Li family in Bingzhou, and took over all of Li Yan's properties in Jiuyuan County. Well, it sounds like a huge industry, but strictly speaking, it's just a thousand acres of fields, one pasture, and more than 100 households.

Well? This is already quite an industry? Well, it's true that some of the big families don't have a thousand acres of land or more, not to mention that Li Yan still has a ranch. But! For those big families, their fields are basically good fields! And Li Yan's field here is ...... As for pastures, almost all landlords in the entire state have pastures, but the difference is only in quantity and size.

The only one who can be regarded as stronger than other landlords is probably the Li family, who have been taught martial arts, archery, and riding skills by the Li family master for generations, and pull one out at will, even if it is not as good as the generals, but it is not much worse than the elite in the Wuyuan County soldiers.

The takeover of these properties did not take much effort on Li Yi, because Li Yan had already explained these things last month, in fact, even if Li Yi did nothing, these disciples who had been protected by the Li family for generations would honestly hand over the tax rent to Li Yi.

At the same time, Li Yi also continued to teach the children about martial arts, but at this moment, his teaching was more to keep the Li family's foundation, rather than to compete for the world in the future. In fact, at this time, Li Yi almost had almost no intention of fighting for the world, although he looked strong on the surface, but Lu Bu and others knew that Li Yan's death was a very big blow to Li Yi.

During this time, whether it was Guo Hong, Lu Bu and others, they all chose to deliberately avoid Li Yi, hoping that being alone could allow Li Yi to recover from his injuries as soon as possible. Of course, Li Yi is not really alone, and Xiaobai, the growing tiger tries to make Li Yi happy in various weird ways every day, such as...... Roll the body into a ball.

"Xiaobai~You look so stupid~" The corners of Li Yi's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh.

"Whew......" Xiao Bai blinked his big copper bell-like eyes when he heard this, and then arched Li Yi, constantly licking Li Yi's cheeks with his tongue. Perhaps in its opinion, any pain can be licked off with just one lick like this.

"Silly cat......" Li Yi stroked Xiaobai's big head and muttered.

Soon, the news of Li Yan's death spread, and for a while, many people were waiting to see the jokes of the Li family in Jiuyuan, and more were the landlords who were gearing up to find an opportunity to annex the Li family's property. Speaking of which, although it is not too stable today, and Bingzhou is a relatively weak area of the Han Dynasty, it is not so easy to seize the property of a landlord.

However, these people believe that it will not be long before the Li family will begin to lose under the leadership of Li Yi, the head of the family who is only 11 years old. At that time, Li Yi will have to sell his own property in exchange for the continuation of the family.
