When Li Mantian woke up and learned of the outcome, he sighed and said nothing, only waving his hand. The matter was settled, so what else could be said?
Li Wenyi really didn't understand. His parents were clearly happy when they found out he had become an official, so why did they change their expressions as soon as they learned he was the local county magistrate? Wasn't it better to be close by? That way they wouldn't have to move. Once he was settled in the county, they could just come and enjoy their retirement there!
Seeing that he was still clueless, Li Mantian could only sigh and explain in detail. There was no other way; he couldn't let the child take up his post without knowing anything, could he? Wouldn't that just make things worse for him?
It turns out that this county town is not an ordinary county town, but can be considered the last line of defense for the capital, which is the big mountain behind their village.
Why do they let the trees and weeds on the mountain grow wildly, even though they could cut down trees to build houses, they still live in thatched huts? It's because the trees on the mountain cannot be moved at will. You could say that if there are no external enemies, this county is a peaceful county, without any merits or demerits. But once there are external enemies, this county will be the first target to be attacked.
Ye Shuang suddenly realized, no wonder! She was wondering why the dragon vein would choose such an ordinary place to be born, why there would be traces of gods left on such an ordinary mountain, and why she would appear here after being injured. It turns out that none of it was a coincidence!
In that case, she should thank her junior sister. If it weren't for her junior sister's fatal blow, she probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to come here, let alone achieve the merit that is now within her reach.
Li Wenyi, who was initially somewhat dazed, finally sighed heavily after listening: "Father, you may not know, but I could have stayed in the capital, but given the current situation in the capital..."
“Is it that bad?” Li Mantian interrupted him, his face serious. “I guessed it long ago. If the situation in the capital wasn’t so dire, there would never have been any disaster victims here.”
Li Wenyi was startled. He had originally thought his father was just an ordinary farmer, but now that they were talking, how could he know more than he, someone who had been to the capital? If they kept talking, he would start to wonder who the person who went to the capital really was!
Ye Shuang finished the last sip of the sweet soup and calmly placed the empty bowl on the table. Heh, she knew even earlier. Did she say anything?
As for Li Shi, Li Mantian had probably already told her when he realized it, so it wasn't too much to call Li Wenyi, the last person in the family to know that the chaos of the world was unstoppable, a "fool," was it? Yes, she didn't think it was too much at all.
For a moment, the room was filled with a serious atmosphere and a hint of awkwardness.
However, the noise outside quickly broke the atmosphere in the room.
Li Wenyi slapped his forehead, as if he had just remembered something, and said, "Ah, I forgot to tell you, on my way I met four old Taoist priests. They were really strange. They kept asking me where I lived and insisted on coming with me. I had no choice but to take them to the village. I let them stay at the village chief's place yesterday."
Four old Taoist priests? Ye Shuang tilted her head. Why did the names sound so familiar? Wait, this guy... no way! This can't be! This idiot! Is he up to his old tricks again?!
Ye Shuang followed behind Li Wenyi, who was rushing out, but only stopped at the doorway. She peeked out, wanting to confirm one last time, just in case it wasn't him. Was it right?
