Chapter 288 Quinn and Yuehua (Part )
Last time, Xiao Ziyi told Yuehua that she could embroider a cape for Li Yi. It was not that difficult, so Yuehua immediately started to act. So, can the clumsy Yuehua succeed this time? Let's read on.
After relaxing, it's time to get down to business. Before leaving Dunhuang, Li Yi had only one thing left to do, which was to find Shenmu Yi. No one else could help with this, so he had to inspect it himself.
After walking for three days in a row, he didn't find any clues. He thought that Dunhuang was a big city and searching like this was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was meaningless, so on the fourth day he sat in the yard thinking of a solution.
Previously, Li Yi asked Quinn to find Cao Hun's other subordinates, intending to start from this aspect to find Shenmu Yi, but things did not go smoothly. On the day Cao Hun died, these people were freed and ran away, and there was no news. Quinn found several secret contact points, but there was no gain, so he came to report to Li Yi.
While the two were talking, Yuehua crept behind the door. Let's focus on her, Yuehua, Mai Nur, Qiang, AKA Dilireba, she is sixteen years old this year. In ancient times, people could have the ceremony of capping at the age of fifteen, which means that people could be considered adults at the age of fifteen.
Girls usually get married at the age of fifteen, and it is normal for them to have two children at the age of eighteen. Take Baozhu Faluo for example, she got married at the age of fifteen and gave birth to a child at the age of seventeen.
But Yuehua is still unmarried at the age of sixteen, which makes her an old maid. Fortunately, she is beautiful and has no trouble finding a husband. Moreover, her brother Li Yi is too brilliant and protects Yuehua very well. Except for her friends around her, no one can talk to Yuehua. Yuehua's experience also makes her less talkative and even less able to speak.
However, since settling in Dunhuang, Yuehua has changed a lot. How to say it, as Xiao Daxia said, she is becoming more and more like Shiyu, but she is not as flexible as Shiyu in dealing with people and things. Instead, she likes to use her hands, likes to undermine Li Yi, and likes to teach Li Yi a lesson in the tone of an elder, which is very much like Shiyu.
The most important thing is that she is not as sensible as Shiyu, so every time she makes Li Yi angry, she will be beaten. Of course, it is not a real beating, but the kind of life-and-death fight between brothers and sisters, one takes the life, the other escapes!
In the City Lord's Mansion, you can often see Li Yi picking up a branch and chasing Yuehua around the yard, while the latter runs and shouts for help. At first, there were people watching, but later, when the servants heard Yuehua's shouting, they all pretended not to hear it and went about their business.
So why did our little Reba come here? She spent three days and a lot of effort to ruin a piece of fine cloth. She was very depressed, so she came to Li Yi, not to seek comfort, but to ask for money, intending to buy another piece of cloth and try again.
To be honest, I don't know whether I should promote this kind of perseverance. Anyway, Yuehua looked in from outside the door to see what Li Yi was doing and whether he was in a good mood.
Li Yi spotted her immediately and asked, "Yuehua, what are you doing sneaking around outside? Come in and tell me what's going on!"
Yuehua said "oh" and went into the room. Seeing this, Kun En bowed and said, "If you have anything to do, I will come back later."
Li Yi stopped her, saying, "No, this girl doesn't have anything important to do. She can be sent away with just a few words. Just stay here."
Yuehua smiled at Quinn, then bowed to Li Yi and said, "I want to measure my brother so that I can make a cloak for him."
Li Yi frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Why are you making a cloak for no reason? Summer is coming soon, why would you make a cloak?"
Yuehua smiled and said, "The sun is scorching and the wind is strong on this grassland. I thought of making a cloak to protect my brother from the wind and sun. What's more, my brother will think of me as long as he wears this cloak. How great!"
Li Yi shook his head and sighed, "Alas, it's rare that you have such a heart, and I don't want to discourage you, but this cloak doesn't need any good material, strong and durable cloth will do. I'll ask Langya to buy it and send it to you later."
How could Yuehua do this? She quickly said, "Brother, why do you still let Brother Langya run errands for this matter? Ever since Brother Zhang taught him martial arts, he has been either practicing martial arts or helping Brother with chores. It's very tiring, so I'd better go by myself. If Brother is worried, I can ask Sister Xiao to go with me."
When Li Yi heard what Yue Hua said, he said, "Well, that's fine. Then go ahead. It's a good opportunity to take Xia Xiao out for a walk, so she won't be bored."
Yuehua nodded and said, "That's right, that's right, brother, can you give me some money?"
Li Yi's expression changed instantly when the silver was mentioned. He asked in a cold voice, "You want silver? How many days have you asked for silver last time? Three days? You spent all the ten taels of silver I gave you three days ago? What did you do with it? Tell me! Give me the account!"
Yuehua whispered, "I spent money on buying cloth, and now I'm out of cloth, so I have to buy some more, otherwise how can I make a cloak for you."
Li Yi asked, "What kind of cloth costs ten taels of silver? Who do you think I am? A money tree? Shake it and silver will fall out? What did you do with the cloth you bought before? Show me what you made!"
Yuehua spoke even more quietly: "It's all wrong. I miscalculated the scale, so..."
Li Yi slowly stood up and looked for a suitable weapon in the yard. Yuehua did not realize that Li Yi was looking for something to cut her with, and asked: "Brother, what are you looking for? I can help you find it!"
Li Yi turned around and looked at Yuehua and asked, "You said you would help me measure the ruler, did you bring a ruler?"
Yuehua shook her head.
Li Yi took a deep breath and waved to Quinn, "Quinn, come here."
Quinn didn't understand why and moved closer to Li Yi. Li Yi pulled out Quinn's sword and rushed towards Yuehua. Yuehua was so frightened that she quickly hid behind the stone table. Then the brother and sister began to spin in circles.
Li Yi chased after me and cursed: "I was so blind that I raised a sister like you. Are you trying to piss me off to death? Do you know how hard it is to make money? And you're wasting money here!"
Yuehua ran and said, "Brother, don't get excited, don't get angry, I promise this is the last time, absolutely the last time!"
Li Yi cursed, "You're talking nonsense! You said the same thing last time! You said the same thing the time before! I don't believe you! If I believe you again, I'll take your last name!"
Yuehua said, "Brother, don't I have the same last name as you? My last name is Li too. Since we both have the last name Li, you should trust me! This is the last time!"
Yuehua ran around the table a few times, and Li Yi followed her a few times. Yuehua said, "Brother, if you have something to say, please talk to me. Put down the knife first. It's scary!"
Li Yi shouted, "Scary? I know you grew up scared, you're not afraid! Come on, don't run, or I'll put the knife down!"
Yuehua said: "I was scared when I was little, but I'm not stupid. If I don't run away, you will beat me to death, right?"
Li Yi sneered: "Don't worry, brother will never be willing to beat you to death. At most, I will break your legs. It's okay, you won't die!"
Yuehua replied: "Brother, I still have to dance, my legs can't be broken, so brother, please don't chase me. I won't run away if you don't chase me!" While speaking, Yuehua hid behind Quinn, holding Quinn's shoulders with both hands and using him as a shield.
Li Yi came up to Quinn and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. They say that family disgrace should not be made public, but today it has come to this, so I don't care. You should protect yourself. If you get hurt later, it won't be considered a work-related injury!"
Yuehua said, "Family disgrace? I'm not ugly! I'm pretty! Hero Xiao said that if I wasn't young, with your lustful style, I would have become sisters with the sisters-in-law long ago!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi flew into a rage, and his right hand holding the knife turned purple-gold. This was the Vajra Divine Art, and Li Yi really wanted to kill him this time!
Seeing this, Quinn quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Sir, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, let's talk it over."
Li Yi said in a deep voice: "Quinn, there are some things she said that you can't listen to. Do you understand?"
Quinn saluted and said, "I understand! I won't say anything nonsense!"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "No, you don't understand. There is a saying that only the dead can't speak, so today is destined to be your calamity, and you heard words that you shouldn't have heard.
Alas, what a pity, but there is nothing we can do. Who told you to be so unlucky? Take good care of Yuehua on the road to the underworld. If you want to settle the score, go find her. I will chant sutras to help you two pass away!"
After saying that, he chopped down with his sword, and this sword really wanted to kill them both directly! Quinn could even feel the sword energy on the blade, no, it should be anger!
Fortunately, Quinn was also a martial artist. He turned around, hugged Yuehua's waist with his right hand and jumped out of the study. When he looked inside the study, smoke and dust were everywhere, and several floor tiles had turned into powder.
Yuehua and Quinn were both stunned. This was really a show of ruthlessness. Quinn hugged Yuehua and said, "Yuehua, the master is really angry right now. For safety reasons, I will take you out of the spotlight first!"
Yuehua nodded without hesitation: "Yes, yes, let's go, let's go! If Li catches up with us again, we will both die here!"
Quinn nodded and carried Yuehua over the wall. Li Yi waved his hand to disperse the smoke and dust, and jumped out of the yard, but the two of them were nowhere to be seen.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion came to inquire about the situation. Li Yi threw the knife to a palace soldier and said, "It's okay. I was very angry recently, so I killed two people to vent my anger! You find someone to replace the floor tiles. I will go find Langya to see how he is practicing."
So Li Yi came to the place where Langya practiced martial arts, which was a martial arts arena in the inner city of Dunhuang. It was not very big, but it was also half the size of a football field. Zhang Biao and Langya were about to stop and salute when they saw Li Yi coming. Li Yi stretched out his hand and said, "Don't stop. Langya, you and Guard Zhang have a few moves to show me how you have been practicing recently!"
When Langya heard that Li Yi wanted to test him and maybe get some advice, he was so happy that he immediately started fighting with Zhang Biao. The child was too young to read people's expressions, let alone know that people are treacherous, so he just wanted to show off. In order to create some trouble for Zhang Biao, he used some shady tricks, such as throwing sand, poking his eyes, and digging with his back.
Good man, this kid Langya's trick made Zhang Biao angry. Zhang Biao thought: I didn't teach you this despicable trick. You kid are deliberately embarrassing me in front of the young master! The young master must think that I didn't teach you well! That won't do!
So Zhang Biao began to teach seriously and showed Langya what real fighting skills were. He didn't use any Qi, but only used moves to beat Langya until his face was bruised and swollen. It was not until Li Yi couldn't bear it anymore and shouted to stop that the two of them stopped.
Zhang Biao pulled up Langya and taught him a lesson: "See, this is what the real move should be like. What use are your despicable tricks!"
Who knew that Li Yi straightened his clothes and walked off the stage and said, "Guard Zhang, why did you hit a child so hard?"
Zhang Biao smiled and said, "I just want to teach this kid a lesson. I want him to know that the most important thing in martial arts training is to be steady and solid, practice the basics, and then improve his skills..."
Li Yi interrupted: "What's the use of that? Skills are nothing in front of strength. Come, I'll practice with you!"
Zhang Biao was still wondering what Li Yi meant by this, when Li Yi had already used his Vajra Divine Skill to attack him. The warrior's sense of crisis instantly wrote a big word of danger in front of him! He quickly jumped back to avoid the attack, and when he saw the big hole on the ground, he realized that Li Yi had not stopped his strength. He clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Then please give me more advice, young master!"
Then the two of them fought, and Zhang Biao used his exquisite moves and martial arts skills to fight against Li Yi...
Later, Li Yi walked away with a relaxed look on his face, leaving behind two people, one big and one small, with bruised faces and noses in the martial arts arena. As he left, he said, "Don't forget to fill the hole on the ground!"
The master and the disciple sighed at the same time when they looked at each other's embarrassed appearance. They still couldn't figure out why Li Yi came today. Was he here to see how they were practicing martial arts or to stretch his muscles? But even if he wanted to stretch his muscles, he didn't need to hit so hard.
