Life in a small mountain village is dull and fulfilling, and of course, time flies quickly.

In a blink of an eye, spring went to autumn, time passed in a hurry, and before he could figure out how much of this world, Li Bai had already changed from an eight-year-old child to a young man who was more than fourteen years old, fifteen or sixteen years old, and could be called a young man in his twenty-eight years.

It's just that life in the mountain village is still uneventful and almost monotonous, and Li Bai, who has a severe 'persecution paranoia', has been living in this small mountain village in the past six years, never daring to go out, and has been practicing his sword and teaching him books.

Of course, there must be a sister who has been trained and raised by his family, but that kind of thing is not enough for outsiders.

More than six years have passed, so far, the children in the village school have changed batch after batch, many of them have only been studying for a year or two, and after knowing thousands of words and basically reading and writing without hindrance, their parents have taken the initiative to announce their successful 'graduation' in advance, and then replaced by other younger school-age children to continue to 'further study'.

Therefore, today, six years later, Changgan Village has quietly become a mountain village with the highest child literacy rate in the entire Shu County and even in the entire Yizhou region?

So, after hearing the news, the people in the nearby villages that are not very far from Changgan Village also sent their children and nephews to Changgan Village to study, and brought a meager 'bundle', which made the lives of Li Bai and his sister Mei'er much better.

But the only thing that made Li Bai feel a little regretful was that his day students spent even less time studying than the children in Changgan Village, at most for a year and a half, and when they knew how to read and write a few hundred words, they were unilaterally announced by their parents that they had completed their studies, and then they disappeared.

For that kind of thing, Li Bai must not think it is good, but he doesn't have any good way......

After all, there is no compulsory compulsory education in this world, and the education problem in the feudal era is not something that a rural villager like him can solve, he can't interfere too much, and it is unlikely that he can really teach the children of those families to become talented people and then go to the imperial examination or something, so he can only turn a blind eye to things like that and go with the flow.

A few years have passed, Li Bai's only sister, Lin Qingmei, who has tormented him for more than six years, has also changed from a rural urchin to a slim, knowledgeable and gentle Lin family lady under his cultivation and training.

Of course, no matter how it changes, the throne of the eldest sister in the village is still hers!

Because, under that gentle and virtuous appearance, her extreme violence, waving her fists when she disagrees, and her strength is at least the strange power of several adult men, has not changed in the slightest, which once made Li Bai feel a headache and jealousy.

However, fortunately, Li Bai has not grown!

In the past few years, in addition to taking good care of himself and his sister (pronounced tiáo, jiào), repairing the house and using his various 'advanced' knowledge to improve his family's living standards, and then leading Changgan Village to live a life below 'well-off', he also has a super secret that even his own sister Mei'er doesn't know, that is:

His "Qinglian Sword Technique", that is, the "Niangniang Sword Technique", which was felt by his sister Mei'er and those ignorant village husbands and village women, was useless except for good looks, finally broke through and achieved a small success!

He had secretly tried it in a place where no one was around, even if it was with a wooden sword, but in the case of using the kind of mystery that he had practiced, which he named 'Qinglian Sword Qi', he could successfully cut off a thick stump that no one could hold on to with just a wave of the sword, and the fracture was as smooth as a mirror to the touch, as if it had been polished, and the end was extraordinary!

At the same time, he also found that with the blessing of the mysterious power that he named Qinglian Sword Qi, he Li Bai finally had all kinds of means to surpass ordinary people for the first time, and in some cases it was not inferior to the innate strange power of his sister Mei'er, and even stronger than Sister Mei'er's great power in some other aspects?

For example, when he has sufficient sword energy, he can move as fast as a monkey between big trees, run a distance of 100 meters in only two to three seconds with full strength, and can also leap over a cliff more than ten or twenty meters wide, jump up a mountain stream several meters high, and kick a boulder weighing one or two tons with one kick, while his legs will not be kicked off at all, etc.?

As for the more specific functions, Li Bai is still carefully studying and verifying it secretly, but he has never mentioned all this to anyone.

In the eyes of the villagers and his sister Mei'er, he is still just the jade-faced little Langjun who likes to practice swords and strengthen his body, the respected teacher in Changgan Village and the more and more good-looking young man Li Bai!

At most, because of years of insisting on practicing swords, the body is well-proportioned, the muscles are well-defined, and it looks a little taller and stronger than ordinary peers?

Anyway, as far as Li Bai heard, those guys in the village judged him like that!

But he didn't explain much, he didn't have the same knowledge as them, and he didn't run to others to talk or show off because he really practiced Xuanqi's swordsmanship.

After all, after six years of living in this world, his true psychological age has long been far more than fourteen years old, and now he has already become calm and introverted, and the whole person is as gentle as jade, but he is not the kind of layman who likes to show off or suppress others to show off his superiority.

Just like today, in order to practice his sword, he also avoided and stayed away from the village, and ran alone to the maple forest on the other side of the river, deeper in the mountains.

“……”

At this moment and here, Li Bai was in the fluttering red leaves in the sky, caressing the hilt of the wooden sword that had accompanied him for six years and had already been touched to be extremely smooth, and stood upright in silence.

That's right, Li Bai is preparing to practice the sword, and what he is practicing is the trick in the Qinglian swordsmanship that he just comprehended a few days ago, and then he is not sure to perform until today!

However, before he can use it, he still needs a period of time to store his qi, which can also be said to be stacking 'sword qi'.

After all, it is a move that has just been newly understood, and before it is thoroughly proficient, some 'forward swing' is still very necessary. But these shortcomings don't matter, because he will definitely slowly overcome them in the future, slowly adapt and improve.

“！！”

Finally, after brewing for a while, when he felt that his spirit and spirit had reached a peak, and he felt that the sword qi in his body had been completely filled, and even gradually became a little uncontrollable, and if he didn't cast it, he might hurt his back, so he didn't force it anymore, he suddenly held the sword out of the sheath, and swung it fiercely with his sword move, which he was already familiar with!

✴

Qinglian Sword Song!!

Swish!

……

However, until Li Bai slowly put away his sword and returned it to the sheath, nothing happened here, and it was still the appearance of the late autumn mountain forest with red leaves fluttering.

Merely......

If there is an outsider here and he is still a very careful guy, then it must not be difficult to find: At this time, within a dozen steps around Li Bai, the maple leaves, which were at least dozens or even hundreds, and were falling with the wind, suddenly shook lightly in the air when Li Bai made a move just now, and then only now did they suddenly crack together, turning into two pieces of different sizes and falling in a whirlwind?

That's right, Li Bai's move just now, 'Qinglian Sword Song', has successfully encompassed all the fallen leaves in his attack range, and successfully cut them in half with a single sword!

Although he is still only a beginner, he is a little restrained and does not dare to exert himself with all his strength for fear of hurting himself, but this alone is already very remarkable. Just imagine, if it wasn't the leaves around Li Bai at this time, but a circle of people standing, wouldn't their fate be the same as those leaves, being killed by the sword qi on the spot?

“……”

Call!

"It's been six years!"

"Although I don't know how far this method can reach in this world where gods and demons are rampant, but finally it is no longer a zero-level trumpet, and I can finally barely go down the mountain to make a wave."

With a little satisfaction, he looked at the maple leaves around him that had been cut in two by himself and fell to the ground, although not every one of them had been neatly cut in half, but it was also remarkable that he could accurately capture them with his qi machine in an instant and successfully slash them piece by piece with his sword qi.

Anyway, Li Bai himself thinks that this is very good and satisfying, and he doesn't ask for more for the time being.

After all, this is a skill and superpower that he never dared to think of before, and it is the capital he relies on to survive in this world, as long as he continues to keep exercising, he will definitely make better progress, so although he doesn't have much performance on his face, let alone how beautiful it is in his heart.

'Li Bai? ’

'Hey! ’

'Brother Li Bai! Where are you? ’

'Big Brother Li Bai......'

'Brother Li Bai, come out quickly, we're going home for dinner!' ’

At this time, just as Li Bai was immersed in the sword trick he had just performed and habitually went to stand still to sum up the gains and losses of his experience, suddenly, he heard two voices calling for him from the dense forest not far behind him, which made him have to interrupt the thoughts that had just come to him.

"Hey~!"

"I'm here, don't come here, there's no road here, I'll go now!"

After hearing clearly who the person calling him was, Li Bai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly used his sword qi to move and jump on the rocks in front of the small waterfall by the small river, and in a few clicks passed the waterfall where there was no way out, jumped to the other side of the river and plunged into the dense forest where the sound came from.

His maple forest for sword training was his secret base, and not many people could run there in the open land with beautiful maple trees across the river, so he didn't want to let others know about it easily, so as not to let outsiders bump into some of his secrets or be injured by mistake or something when it was unnecessary.

“！！”

Soon, Li Bai, who went into the forest and easily found a path that could walk, didn't go far before he saw a little girl wearing a short shirt and a long skirt, wearing a shawl and a half-arm red and blue skirt, a cardamom girl with a delicate hanging bun on her head, and a little girl who was dragging snot on her nose behind the girl, and looked a little timid in her eyes.

"Mer!"

"And Liuya, how did you get here?"

Obviously, it was his sister Lin Qingmei and the cousin of the other party's same clan who called Li Bai just now.

However, the six girls are not her own cousins, but the kind of people of the same clan arranged according to their generations, in short, except for the women who married in this entire Changgan Village and his Li Bai, the rest of the men and women are all surnamed Lin, and the complicated clan relationship is something that Li Bai himself can't figure out.

Anyway, Li Bai knew that Mei'er had a very good relationship with Liuya, so much so that the other party often went to their house to eat and drink, and often rubbed his snot on himself or Mei'er's sister's body, which made him feel a little unhappy but helpless.

"Why don't you know?!"

"I'm talking about Brother Li Bai!"

"Don't you look, what time is it now, the sun is about to go down, what are you doing in this wood?"

Seeing Brother Li Bai, who had been calling for a long time, Lin Qingmei suddenly had a pretty face, and asked directly angrily, and those beautiful big eyes kept looking behind Li Bai, as if she wanted to know what he was doing hiding here and not seeing people.

"What else can I do besides practice swords?"

Li Bai snorted, stepped forward and rubbed Liuya's already messy hair, not paying too much attention to Mei'er's cute pursed lips and threatening expression with horizontal eyebrows and eyes.

"Sword practice?"

"That's right!"

"But why did you come here to practice swords?"

"It's nothing, isn't it because the wild boys outside are so noisy that they know to point and frolic all day long?"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

"I don't believe it, you don't seem to dare to look at other people's eyes when you speak......"

"Then what do you think I can do, run to the middle of the village to practice, and then be treated as a monkey by them?"

This is indeed a factor, because Li Bai really doesn't want to be when he is practicing swords, there is a group of little children who don't know anything or village elders who are full of food and have nothing to do, and then they don't have their teeth grown or their mouths are lost like watching monkeys shouting at him or pointing fingers or something, anyway, that feeling is very bad!

"Is it really just sword practice?"

However, although she didn't think that Li Bai could do anything other bad, Lin Qingmei still looked a little skeptical.

"Of course it's true!"

"But people still don't believe it, if you want to practice swords, you can just find a place where no one is around, why do you have to run so far?"

"But I'm really practicing swords!"

"I don't believe you!"

"Oh my God...... Sister Mei'er, you don't know, what else can I do besides practicing swords, is it possible that I can still hide a fox spirit in the forest? ”

"Humph! Forgive me for not daring! ”

"Look at me if I dare, I'll raise one for you another day!"

"Hey ♡!"

"Brother Li Bai, there are no monsters like fox spirits in the mountains behind our village, even if you want to find it, you can't find it~!"

After asking a few words, she found that there was indeed no suspicion in her brother Li Bai, and it looked like he was indeed full of sweat, and what he smelled was all the familiar smell of sweat, Lin Qingmei, who judged that the other party was indeed practicing swords, snorted coldly and turned around and said:

"Hurry up, it's not too early, Brother Li Bai, it's time for us to go back to dinner."

"After eating, you have to rest early tonight, and then you will go into the city with Grandpa Muramasa and them early tomorrow morning, if it is late, they will not wait for you!"

"Huh?"

"That's right! Mei'er, if you don't say it, I've forgotten about it......"

Patting his head, Li Bai remembered this.

A few days ago, when he was so 'miraculous' that his self-confidence was extremely inflated, he finally planned to go into the city to see the world and mentioned to the carpenter Lin Sanshu, who often needed to go to the city, that he must remember to take one with him next time the other party enters the city again?

But who thought, after waiting for several days, he didn't receive the letter until now......

But thinking about it, this is also a helpless thing, after all, the traffic situation in this world is indeed very bad, plus Changgan Village is not close to the county seat, it often takes a whole day to drive an ox cart, plus the delay in the city, a round trip often takes several days, so it is not too easy to enter the city once, so that until today, there is a team in the village to go to the city to catch the big set.

"People don't believe you'll forget!"

"However, Brother Li Bai, before entering the city, Mei'er has to tell you one thing first......

When the three of them walked slowly in the direction of the village together, suddenly, Lin Qingmei, who was following behind with Liuya, said this quietly, which made Li Bai turn around curiously and ask:

"What's wrong, what's going on?"

“……”

"Sister Mei'er, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing!"

"It's just that people have heard that there are a lot of beautiful little ladies in the city, Brother Li Bai, you must not be fascinated by others at that time!"

“！！”

"Hahaha! So that's the case, Mei'er, are you worried about this kind of thing? ”

“！！”

"What are you laughing at? Don't laugh! ”

"Huh? Okay, okay...... I—I try not to laugh! Ha...... Ha ......"

"Did you hear that? You've got to promise it! ”

"Good, good! I promise, I, Li Bai, will never be fascinated by those beautiful little ladies, they don't go to inquire, where are their vulgar fans as good-looking as my little lady Mei'er? ”

"You!"

"Hippie smiling all day long, no shape!"

Although she bluffed her face and pretended not to care too much about Li Bai's words just now, anyone could see that Mei'er's heart should still be very useful at this time.

"Let's all say it together, sister Mai'er, housekeeper, do you have anything else to explain?"

Shaking his head, he didn't expect the other party to be worried about that kind of thing, so Li Bai jokingly continued to ask.

"Absolutely!"

"Please say, your brother Li Bai and I will listen to you!"

"You are not allowed to go to brothels, green houses, or places where bad people go like the advocates!!"

"Huh? Is there such a place in the county? Also...... Yizhou, that is, the seat of Chengdu Prefecture, is Shu County, and if you go to Shu County, there may indeed be that kind of place. ”

“！！”

"What are you muttering? Did you hear that?! ”

"I heard, I'm not going, can't I promise not to go?"

To be honest, Li Bai is indeed very curious about that kind of place, but unfortunately, he can't go if he wants to, because he has no money, he is so poor, and the 1,000 or hundreds of dollars he has prepared now are also planned, where can he dare to use that little money to go to that kind of place to squander?

“……”

However, Li Bai's assurance didn't seem to satisfy Lin Qingmei, and the other party still glared at him angrily.

"Hey, didn't I promise it, why are you still looking at me like that?"

"Brother Li Bai'......"

"Huh?"

"If you dare to go to that kind of place, people will ask the ninth uncle of the gelding horse, gelding, pig and donkey in the west of the village to help you too!!"

“！！”

Shocked, Li Bai subconsciously clamped his legs.

"Mei'er, it's not so ruthless, is it?"

"As for!"

“……”

"But Sister Mei'er, isn't it normal to have three wives and four concubines in this world?"

“？？”

"You still dare to have three wives and four concubines?!!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

"I—I'm just talking casually, for examples, really just random analogies......"

"Brother Li Bai'......"

"Huh? What, what's wrong? ”

Looking at the other party's face, Li Bai suddenly felt a little apprehensive, and his heart was also worried.

"You know what?"

"Yesterday, the fifth uncle's family in the east of the village killed pigs, but their men were not very useful, and several big men couldn't cure a beast in the end, and let the big fat pig run away......"

"Ran away? And then what? ”

Li Bai didn't understand what it meant for the other party to suddenly turn to this kind of place.

"And then ......"

Then Lin Qingmei didn't say anything, just stared at Li Bai with a gloomy face, and her squinted eyes were full of threats.

"I know that! I know that! ”

"Brother Li Bai!"

"When the big fat pig ran, he happened to meet Sister Qingmei at the intersection, and then Sister Qingmei beat it to death with a punch, and the fifth uncle finally happily gave Sister Qingmei a pair of pig ears!"

At this time, without waiting for Lin Qingmei to answer, Li Bai heard the words of the little kid Liuya next to him cheering and raising his hand to add.

"Ah......h

"So that's how last night's stir-fried pig ears came from......"

He was stunned for a moment, and after a while, Li Bai reacted, first swallowed his saliva and then subconsciously looked towards Sister Mei'er, who was squinting at him with malicious intentions, and then looked downwards at the small fist that was quietly clenched in the other party's cuffs.

“……”

didn't say it, he didn't have to think much to know that in the future, if he really wanted the idea of 'three wives and four concubines', it is estimated that he was either beaten to death by Mei'er, or the 'two wives and four concubines' he brought back were beaten to death by Mei'er?
