Li Yu has really learned some real kung fu with Guo Nu. The executioner's profession is actually not simple, the heavy ghost head knife in their hands, in order to be clean and neatly cut off the head, it needs to be practiced a lot of skills: eyesight, arm strength, waist strength, and psychological quality.

Just the four actions of drawing the knife, raising the knife, swinging the knife, and collecting the knife, they don't know how many times they have to practice every day. This wrist strength, arm strength, eyesight and accuracy, even if you are a first-class ranger, may not be able to do it.

Therefore, an excellent executioner may not be a first-class master in terms of technical skills, and even a second-rate master can easily knock him down, but if you talk about the basic skills of knife handling, knife use, and force, an excellent executioner's knife skills may exceed many first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.

And Li Yu and Guo Rentu learned the method of using a knife. Li Yu has worshipped eighteen masters, none of whom are martial arts masters, but Li Yu has built a very solid foundation for martial arts, and has realized the unique meaning of martial arts from ordinary and simple moves.

The process of a real master of martial arts from simple to complex, and then from complex to simple, is not a kind of anti-simplicity and return to the truth. Li Yu can be regarded as pointing to the essence, but after all, he lacks the guidance of a famous teacher, and he also lacks experience.

Guo's house is not far from the Yunzhan gambling house, out of the sheep intestine alley, and then through two alleys, turn into a relatively deserted alley, over the backyard door of several large families, at the end there is a portal, a tall tree is planted on the left and right of the gate, and there are several old eagle nests on the top, this is Guo Nu's home.

Pushing open the door, a gloomy atmosphere came to my face. Lao Guo has never married in his life, has no heirs, and does not raise any living creatures at home, so he is naturally lifeless. When they entered the house, a smell of sandalwood came to their faces, facing a wall, and the shelves were full of Buddha statues of various shapes and materials.

In front of the Buddha wall, an incense burner, Guo Nu stepped forward, picked up three pillars of incense and lit it, first worshiped religiously, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then beckoned Li Yu to sit down. Li Yu already knew his habits, and when he saw him enter the door, he burned incense first, and subconsciously asked, "Did you cut people again today?" ”

At that time, not all death row prisoners were sent to the capital, and some places were too remote to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to send prisoners, so they would only send the files to the capital, and then dispose of them after receiving the approval. There is also a kind of prisoner, which is to be executed.

In order to achieve the effect of punishment, there will not be a protracted trial and judgment process, but the magistrate has the right to be executed immediately, so the executioner's business does not have to wait until the autumn of each year, and whether they open or not depends on the degree of local security.

Guo Nu obviously didn't want to talk about this matter more, although the executioner didn't blink an eye when he killed people, he was actually quite taboo about it in his heart. The Guo family offered a wall of Buddha statues, apparently to dispel the shadow in his heart. Guo hummed angrily and raised his eyes to look at Li Yu: "Next autumn, will you go back?" ”

Through a conversation with Liu Yuntao, the boss of the boat, Li Yu has a general understanding of the atmosphere of today's times. The people of the world are very concerned about faithfulness, and they are more important than Mount Tai. Of course, there are people who do not believe in their words, but that is not an act that is recognized by the universal values of the world today, and it will be despised if they say and do it.

So Li Yu learned to be obedient, his face was straight, and he said with a righteous attitude: "Emperor Rende, slow my life span by one year, and take advantage of this short life year to have some unfinished regrets." When next year's autumn ice, the disciple should return to the capital and accept the punishment! ”

Guo Nu nodded and said approvingly: "Rannuo is more important than life and death, this is a real man, good!" ”

Guo Nu groaned and sighed: "As soon as you die, the Li family has no queen, not only a great regret, but also a great unfilial piety!" ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, why would he rush to the capital to die next autumn, he was not as "stupid" as the ancients, and he had already planned to slip away. As for the regrets that are not over, he is just casually perfunctory, but before "leaving", he really wants to do one thing, that is, to make a small fortune and leave a property for his mother Pan Jiaojiao. How did you get to the point of no queen?

Guo Nu saw him in a daze, and couldn't help but smile: "Is your face tender, there are three unfilial pieties, and there is no queen, what's so embarrassing." Your Li family is a lone seedling in a thousand acres of land, and it is also appropriate to take advantage of this year to leave a queen for the Li family. ”

Li Yu slowly opened his mouth: "Stay?" ”

When Guo Nu said this, he really remembered that when he was on death row, he really saw a woman enter the prison, and the cell boss took the woman and a certain death row prisoner to a more private single cell.

At that time, Li Yu thought that this was some kind of "big brother" with hands and eyes to the sky, but later learned that this was a manifestation of the benevolence of the imperial court since ancient times: if the death row prisoner has been married but has no offspring, during the period of death, his wife is allowed to go to prison to rejoice with him, so as to leave a bloodline.

But this benevolence is based on a complete disregard for women's rights. Is this woman willing? No one paid attention to it, forced by the clan and social atmosphere, maybe on the surface she was "willing", but after that, all the burdens were carried by her and carried by herself, who would have thought that this would be unfair to her?

At that time, it was common for a woman to remarry after divorce or loss of her spouse, which to a large extent artificially created obstacles for her to remarry. In order to let the man have a bloodline of benevolence, what he paid was the cruelty that ruined this woman's life.

Therefore, Li Yu, who also had the concept of later generations, was very unimpressed with this at the time, and when he heard Guo Nu say it, he was even more dismissive. Li Yu shook his head, and was about to explain it euphemistically, when Guo Nu already groaned: "Well, I have a distant cousin, you have seen it, but it is a suitable person." ”

"I've seen it?" Li Yu immediately searched for his memory.

Guo Nu smiled and said, "Yes, I used to live in your workshop, and I was still your playmate when I was a child." It's called Fei Fei, every time you see her, you have to joke and say, 'I want to be in Fei Fei', that stupid girl, at first I thought you were teasing her, and chased you endlessly. Wait for you to explain that this is an idiom, quite complacent. Later, I really understood what you meant, and I chased you endlessly, hehe......"

The corners of Li Yu's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but want to laugh a little.

Guo angrily sighed and said: "That girl left last spring, the man was not angry, and she ran away with gambling debts, leaving her to live alone with a son and a daughter, so you might as well marry her and leave a queen for the Li family." ”

Li Yuhan was about to come down, and hurriedly refused: "No, no, no, this is not appropriate." I am a dying man, so why should I be burdened with others? ”

Guo Nu disagreed, and said: "Two are also raised, and three are also born, what are you afraid of if you have one more mouth." Besides, now I can help her, if she really marries into the Li family, after having the Li family, can your mother still help? ”

Li Yu was embarrassed, and shook his hand again and again: "No, no, no, thank you Master for your kindness, I don't want to get into trouble anymore......"

Guo Nu interrupted him and said, "It's so decided, I'll bring her here another day, and you will see each other first." Haha, don't worry, she's no longer the shriveled figure she was like when she was a child. Now she is a blessing in the best birth. Do you think that she gave birth to two babies after three years of marriage, are you still afraid that your Li family will have no queen? Ha, haha......"
