A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Starting from the Village Chief

Chapter 36 A Dream

The night is as cold as water.

On the tenth night, the moon is half full, just when yin and yang meet and their forces are balanced. It is in a state of readiness and contains infinite vitality.

According to folklore,

On the tenth night of the lunar month, young lovers meet under the waxing moon and make a beautiful wish together, which will come true.

Moonlight streams into the house,

Sanniang looked at the sleeping Li Yi, her heart pounding, her face flushed and her ears hot. The impulse in her heart made her lift the summer cloth mosquito net and crawl into the tent.

He was sound asleep.
The little tabby cat had woken up a long time ago, with its big almond eyes wide open, but it did not bark at Sanniang, its "family member".

Sanniang lay on her side, put her arms around Li Yi, and trembled uncontrollably.

Li Lang is in my arms,

But her mind was blank and she had no idea what to do next. Although her sister-in-law had told her a lot, she couldn't remember anything now.

The hair swept across Li Yi's face.
He was woken up.

In a daze, he felt someone holding him.
I was shocked.

The first reaction was that they had encountered a thief again, thinking that it was the same as the last time when Liu Heizi stole gold. Who would have thought that it was actually Luo Sanniang who listened to her sister-in-law's advice and came to steal sperm?

A thought in my mind,
The electric baton is already in hand.

"Left Ling fires right, Lei Gong helps me!"

Li Yi suddenly roared, then turned his hand and pressed the electric baton against the other person's thigh.

There was a flash of lightning, a scream,
The people behind me were numb.

But Li Yi also felt a little numb, not because of the electric shock, but because the voice was very familiar, it was Luo Sanniang.

He quickly stood up and turned back.
When I turned on the electric baton, I saw Luo Sanniang curled up there like a shrimp.

Wang Defa,
What the hell is going on?

"Sanniang, why are you here?"

Luo Sanniang was numbed by the electric shock, but she did not faint. When the strong light shone on her face and she heard Li Yi's question, she felt ashamed.

She never imagined that after hesitating in the middle of the night and finally mustering up the courage to walk into the bedroom and crawl into the mosquito net, this would be the result.

Regret and shame.

She buried her face in her hands and wept softly.

Li Yi was confused and his scalp was tingling.

It's the middle of the night, a man and a woman are alone, sitting in a melon field under a plum tree.

She just kept crying, not at all like the smart girl she usually is. Li Yi felt a little annoyed.

Even after asking for a long time, she didn't respond.
"Go back quickly and pretend nothing happened tonight."

He stood up, put on his shoes and walked out of the bedroom.

Zhaocai followed out.

Under the cool moonlight,

A man and a cat were walking in the yard.
No one came out.

Li Yi believed that Sanniang's scream just now was very loud, and it was impossible that no one had heard it in the quiet of the night, but no one came out, which could only mean that they did it on purpose.

Maybe he was afraid that things would end badly.
But this made Li Yi even more troubled, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

Walk out of the courtyard and go downhill to the bridgehead.

Standing on the wooden bridge, looking at the water of the He River illuminated by the moonlight,

Sitting alone for a long time,

He had almost figured it out.
The matter was quite simple and clear. Sanniang had always been interested in him, but he had never responded. Today, the girl bravely went into his room and got on his bed.

But she didn't expect that Li Yi would use an electric baton to shock her.

Oh, this is what happened.

Li Yi was annoyed and took out a bag of soft white sand and a lighter from home.

Light a cigarette,

Smoking quietly on the bridge,

I haven't smoked for a long time, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it.

This cigarette is one less cigarette.

Under the cold moonlight, Li Yi was at a loss.

He understood the girl's feelings, but to be honest he couldn't accept it.

He also knew that this era was not the future, and that if one did not intend to get married, one could not just stay with someone casually. Girls in this era would not sleep with anyone casually.

This isn't the way of the times.

Especially for a woman from a decent family with a clean background, if she messes around, she will be thrown into the pig cage. Li Yi has experienced marriage, the seven-year itch, and the fatigue of marriage in middle age. Now that he is sixteen again, he is not willing to enter into marriage right away.

He is now like a bird out of a cage, free from all restraints, so how could he be willing to look back?

In fact, I believe that most people in the besieged city are eager to get out of it.

Sanniang is a pretty good girl, but she is good as a partner. But to be honest, she does not suit Li Yi's taste.

It seems that I was wrong to partner with her.

I originally thought she was smart and clever, and her family was in trouble, so I thought of giving her a hand, as I also needed a helper.

Who would have thought that this would lead to such embarrassment?

Li Yi sat for a long time.
I smoked several cigarettes in a row and finally felt drunk.
Finally got up and went home.

The courtyard was quiet.
Nothing seems to have happened.

He breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the bedroom.

When he lifted the coarse mosquito net, he found that there was no one on the couch, as if everything was just an absurd dream.

Take a deep breath,

If she keeps pestering me, it would be really a headache, so let's just pretend nothing happened.

The night was lonely, but Li Yi tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Luo Sanniang might have thought that Li Yi was attracted to Du Shiniang and that was why he disliked her.

He admired both Du Shiniang and Luo Sanniang, two women with completely different backgrounds, each with their own shining points.
But Li Yi's current thoughts on Du Shiniang were actually no different from his thoughts on Luo Sanniang.

They are just girls of fifteen or sixteen years old.

There is no such thing as wanting to marry Du Shiniang into the Du family.

He did not deny that Du Shiniang was very outstanding, but they had only met a few times and had hardly spoken to each other, so how could he have thought of marriage?

Besides, he knew in his heart that this was unrealistic due to the disparity in their status.

He didn't have the mind to think about those things now.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yi came to the conclusion that it was all because he was too outstanding.

If I bloom, butterflies will come.

Wu Yi is young and handsome, and coupled with Li Yi's rich experience, he is indeed a bit dazzling in this countryside, standing out like a crane among chickens.

It's hard not to be attractive.

Tianming,

Li Yi got up,
The Wuji Courtyard was also a busy scene.

There was no Luo Sanniang among those who were grinding soy milk, boiling soy milk and removing bean skin, frying tofu, or making natto.

There was no sign of Luo Sanniang at the bridgehead. It was Luo Wu's wife and a village auntie who were selling soy milk and soy pudding, and their business was pretty good.

Luo Er's family and Lanxiang and the others had complicated expressions on their faces when they saw Li Yi coming back.

Li Yi beckoned Xiuzhi over,
"Where's Sanniang?"

"He said he wasn't feeling well this morning and didn't get up. I went to see him and his eyes were red and swollen from crying."

Li Yi was silent.

"Has Aunt Erlang arrived?"

"I've been here since early morning and am already cleaning the classroom."

"Well, I'm going to Fengjiabao. I won't have breakfast at home. I'll be back for class at noon."

Li Yi simply washed up and left again. He really didn't want to stay in this atmosphere.

He took the Turkic horse that Li Shimin had given him,
He put away his bow and sword, and went out on horseback.

This horse is worthy of being a gift from the King of Qin. It is very easy to ride.

Trotting on the horse was a mysterious feeling, a heroic feeling of galloping across the world. Although his speed was very slow, it did not affect his good mood.

He planned to practice horse archery and swordplay when he had time.

The six arts of a gentleman also include riding and archery.

He rode his horse all the way to Fengjiabao Private School, and all the depression in his heart disappeared.

Dong Xiucai thought that the student had come to pay his respects to him early in the morning, and he was very happy. He stroked his beard and welcomed him into the courtyard.
"You've come just in time. Hurry up and copy me a copy of the Three Character Classic."

"Remember to use your lean muscle body."

Li Yi's face suddenly turned bitter. He had to come here early in the morning to write a thousand big characters. This was really walking into a trap.

He still owed Du Ruhui and Sun Fujia two copies of the Three Character Classic of Thin Muscles. No, he accepted generous gifts from Li Shimin and Du Shiniang yesterday, so he still had to write one for them.

You don’t have to go this morning, just stay here and write.
