In chaotic times, skill points are added: from hunter to martial saint, only killing and no mercy!

Li Yi sighed helplessly and said, "Brother, why are you doing this? As long as you take good care of yourself, you'll get better."

Li Erniu shook his head and said, "I know my own body. I can't work in the fields anymore. Xiaofang alone can't support this family. Besides, you know my situation."

I would also like to ask you to leave a child for my brother, so that when he passes away, someone will remember him and offer incense or something.

Otherwise, they might become wandering ghosts.

Most importantly, I don't want those people to exploit me to the point of having no descendants!

In the end, intense hatred blazed in Li Erniu's eyes.

His dismissal was not as simple as an accident.

Li Yi said with a wry smile, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I also have my own family to take care of. But don't worry, Brother Erniu, if you ever need my help in the future, I will never refuse."

Li Erniu shook his head again. He wouldn't have taken this path if he hadn't been forced into a desperate situation.

Seeing that Li Yi refused, Li Erniu finally made up his mind.

He looked at Liu Fang and said, "Go and get that old book from the cabinet."

Liu Fang immediately ran to the corner, rummaged through drawers and cabinets, and came back with a tattered book.

After receiving it solemnly, Li Erniu carefully stroked the cover, as if he were handling a priceless treasure.

"Xiao Yi, your second uncle must have taught you to read, right?"

Li Yi nodded. In the village, he was one of the few literate people.

Li Erniu handed the old book in his hand to Li Yi and said solemnly, "This 'Wind-Splitting Spear Technique' was left by my elder brother. It is most suitable for charging into battle on the battlefield."

I'm not naturally gifted enough; I've practiced for a long time but haven't been able to master the basics.

Perhaps you can learn something from this.

Li Yi was astonished. Martial arts skills, in theory, should never appear in a farmer's home.

It usually circulates within the military, or among those who join prestigious schools.

Most importantly, ordinary families cannot afford to support someone who practices martial arts.

"Brother Erniu, this manual is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

Li Erniu resolutely shoved the manual into Li Yi's hands, saying, "Keep it if I give it to you, otherwise it'll only benefit those beasts when I'm gone!"

At this point, a hint of guilt flashed across Li Erniu's face as he said, "You've been getting so close to me, they've probably been watching you for a while now, otherwise Wang Dagui wouldn't have been pushing you so hard."

Li Yi immediately understood. He wondered why Wang Dagui had suddenly set his sights on his family.

So it turns out they were implicated by Li Erniu.

But given the debt of gratitude for saving his life, Li Yi couldn't blame Li Erniu.

As for the conflict between Li Erniu and the people he mentioned, Li Erniu didn't want to talk about it, and Li Yi didn't press him for details.

Thinking that he would need a martial art suitable for use on the battlefield if he were to serve in the military, Li Yi accepted it.

In addition, he also wanted to learn about the martial arts of this world and how they differed from what he had learned.

But accepting the secret manual is equivalent to accepting Li Erniu's karma.

Li Erniu knew that asking Li Yi to help him find allies was indeed asking the impossible, but he had no other choice.

After Li Yi accepted the money, he turned to Liu Fang and said, "Xiao Fang, you'll go back with Xiao Yi later. Stay at his place for the next couple of days."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fang looked at Li Erniu with concern and said, "But what will you do at home by yourself, Erniu?"

Li Erniu chuckled and said, "I'm not completely paralyzed. Going to the toilet is still no problem. We were the ones who wronged Xiaoyi first. There's no need to follow those rules completely. Go on!"

A bitter look flashed across Liu Fang's face. She glanced at Li Yi and then lowered her head again.

Li Yi was also a little embarrassed. Talking about such things in front of someone's husband was definitely awkward for him, as he wasn't some perverted little man.

Li Yi coughed lightly, stood up, and said, "Brother Erniu, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I'll come see you again when I have time."

Li Erniu nodded, his face full of satisfaction.

Li Yi agreed to help him find a partner, which relieved him of a major worry.

"Go ahead, go ahead. Oh, by the way, there's still some food in the house. Take it back with you. Xiaofang and I can't eat that much."

"No, this is your rations, how can you..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Xiaoxin and Xiaohui, right?"

Li Yi was speechless. He had taken the woman's virginity and food.

This is a huge bargain!

After leaving Li Erniu's house, Li Yi walked quickly home.

If Liu Fang hadn't suddenly come to find him, he would already be practicing archery right now.

The matter of forced labor was imminent, and Wang Dagui and his gang of wolves were keeping an eye on things.

Now, Li Yi also has to bear the consequences of Li Erniu's actions, and he feels extremely urgent.

He must seize the time and improve his strength as soon as possible.

It's best to nip any potential dangers in the bud before you even enter the barracks!

After entering his own courtyard, Li Yi turned to Liu Fang, who had followed him, and said, "You go back inside first. I still need to practice archery here."

Liu Fang nodded and went into the house on her own.

Li Yi picked up his bow and arrow, retreated to a distance of a hundred paces, and began shooting at the target.

The effective range of a single-stone bow is about 70 meters; beyond that distance, the arrow will stray.

In addition, Li Yi's archery skills had already reached a basic level, and the wooden bow in his hand was no longer suitable for him.

But there's nothing he can do; given his current financial situation, he simply can't afford a new bow and arrow, so he has to make do with what he has and practice.

Fortunately, he had it attached to him, and as long as he practiced diligently, he would gain experience points.

With fifty experience points needed to reach the next level, Li Yi planned to go hunting in the mountains as soon as he finished leveling up.

Earn money to buy a bow that fits your hand.

By then, resolving problems will be much easier.

Collapse~ Collapse~ Collapse~

The sound of the bowstring being pulled echoed throughout the entire courtyard.

Inside the house, Liu Fang saw Li Yi practicing diligently and asked Liu Ru curiously, "Sister, is Yi-ge'er usually this diligent?"

Liu Ru shook her head and said, "No, it's probably because Wang Dagui and the others' arrival made him feel a sense of urgency."

At this point, Liu Ru pursed her lips and lowered her voice, saying, "Little sister, after nightfall, go to bed and lie down, and don't say a word."

Liu Fang asked, looking completely bewildered, "Will this allow me to get pregnant?"

Liu Ru stared blankly at her younger sister. She suddenly remembered that after Liu Fang married into the family, she and Li Erniu never consummated their marriage.

In that area, I really have no experience whatsoever.

Having no other choice, she could only pass on her experience to Liu Fang.

Upon hearing this, Liu Fang slowly opened her mouth wide, her face turning bright red.

She truly hadn't expected that there were so many intricacies between men and women; there were some things she had never even considered.

Looking at Li Yi in the courtyard, he had taken off his outer clothes for convenience, revealing his enhanced body.

His beautiful lines and muscles are enough to make your heart race just by looking at them.

While feeling shy, Liu Fang also felt a sense of anticipation.

Looking at her younger sister, Liu Ru felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

She hadn't noticed how good Li Yi's figure was before, but now that she saw it, she couldn't help but admire how well her younger sister ate.
