In the morning, the weather is not very bright.
Li Yi's ward welcomed a new guest, a man with handsome facial features. With the gold-rimmed glasses on his face, he exuded the temperament of an urban elite.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Si saw Li Yi sitting cross-legged on the bed, exactly like the one meditating in the TV dramas.
Hearing the noise, Li Yi slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Zhao Si, and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Si looked at the brother in front of him who was familiar yet unfamiliar, and felt mixed emotions, but more of it was happiness and excitement.
"Brother Yi, it's me, Zhao Si."
"Zhao...Si?" Li Yi was puzzled at first, and then his mind was in turmoil. Long-lost memories kept emerging. The picture had already become blurred beyond recognition, but he would never forget it.
"Are you Zhao Si?"
It is hard to associate the man in a suit with the bowl-cut and glasses of the past. But if you look closely, his features and brows can be seen again.
"Zhao Si! Good boy, you have become tall, rich and handsome! Wow, tall and handsome in a suit, you have completely made a comeback. What are you doing now?"
"I studied psychology in college and now I'm a psychologist." Zhao Si pulled up a stool and sat next to him. The two of them started talking very naturally, just as if it were 10 years ago.
"When I graduated, it was just the time for hospital reform. The treatment in public hospitals dropped significantly, and private hospitals could not meet the requirements. I simply did not go to the hospital, and I opened my own clinic. On weekdays, I mainly provide psychological counseling. Most of my patients are children, rich landlords, and even some artists. It's the same as what you said back then..."
Li Yi immediately added: "Most people who see private psychologists seek peace of mind, just like praying to Buddha in a temple."
"Hahaha, that's right. If you really have a mental illness, you should go to a regular hospital. A private clinic like mine doesn't have many medical devices besides being confidential. But in today's social environment, more and more people need psychological counseling, so I can be said to have caught up with the trend of the times."
Li Yi asked curiously: "Why?"
"I am an old Qin person and I am miserable." Zhao Si beat his chest. Although he is not an old Qin person, Li Yi can probably understand what the other party meant.
"If I have a chance, I will definitely go to Qi and enjoy the happiness of Qi people. Unfortunately, it is difficult to obtain Qi citizenship, and my parents are reluctant to leave, so I can only continue to stay in Zhou."
"What happened to Qi?"
"Qi State has taken advantage of the Internet, and its economy is booming. It is becoming the economic leader among the six states in China. There are many development opportunities there, but once Zhou State leaves, there is basically no chance of returning."
"I remember that they said they would return to the Zhou Dynasty. As long as you are a citizen of one of the six kingdoms, you can freely enter and exit their respective territories."
"You collapsed after being in a coma for a few months. When Qin Wude was at his most energetic, he fought all the way to the Mediterranean. That was also the year they fired the first shot. We thought it would be a fierce battle." Zhao Si pushed his hands forward and chuckled.
"In one year, we destroyed the Turks and went north to the Arctic. In two years, we crossed the Caspian Sea three times. During this period, a very powerful female general emerged. She was called the Siberian Wolf and was an invincible and victorious war god. She almost planted the Qin flag on the land of Rome. It was just like the Qi Kingdom's eastern expedition in the past. It defeated the Xiongnu and destroyed Tiandu, Ryukyu, and the shogunate. Now that it has come to this, the Qin people are of course unwilling to reorganize the Zhou Dynasty."
"During the years when you were in a coma, the six kingdoms of China have seen a surge in the number of hunks sent from heaven, as if we have returned to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
"Come to think of it, do you remember when we were in junior high school? Our school also accepted dozens of war orphans caused by Qi State's Eastern Expedition. The class next to us was the naturalization class. The monitor of the naturalization class was Bai Shi Xuejian, a girl who was very tough and often fought with us." Zhao Si talked about things from his childhood, hoping to know what Li Yi could recall.
"Girls matured earlier when we were young, and she always beat us. You often cried because of her beatings."

In the 1960s, when technology was booming and mobile phones and computers were just becoming popular, you had to dial up to access the Internet, and 1M of traffic cost about one dollar.
Yucheng Chengbei Street Primary School is located between two villages. It is said that the street is surrounded by farmland, and there are no public buses or private passenger vehicles. The six-story teaching building of the school is the most beautiful building within a radius of ten miles, and most of the students here are rural children.
Li Yi was not a sociable person at that time. Because his relative was the director, he became a librarian at a young age (the school was short of staff). Whenever he had time, he would go to the library to read the Taoist scriptures donated by the Taoist temple. This was also the beginning of his father's concerns about his becoming a monk. In fact, Li Yi did not read Taoist scriptures at first. At the beginning, he preferred storytelling, but children's publications were all the same, not as good as the strange stories recorded in Taoist miscellaneous stories.
Adults think this is hard labor, but in the eyes of primary school students, it is a great official. For this reason, Li Yi often collected candies and spicy noodles from the class just to reserve the extremely rare comic books in the library in advance every week. At that time, comic books were all donated and sent from recycling stations, but it did not prevent children from reading them happily.
The most numerous of them were comics from island countries. Due to the annexation by the State of Qi, a large number of cultural works from the Tiandu Peninsula, Ryukyu and Fuso poured into China, which had a great impact on those who received Chinese ritual and music education at that time.
Even Li Yi, who is keen on reading Taoist classics, has to admit that these works are really interesting.
Later they were discovered by the indoctrination class and a conflict broke out between them.
"Li Yi!"
A pair of white and tender hands slapped on Li Yi's desk, scaring him so much that he trembled.
Looking up, he saw a very cute face, fair skin, long ponytail, and fluent Shenzhou dialect. Later, Li Yi realized that the naturalized people who knew Shenzhou dialect since childhood were most likely nobles in their place. Being fluent in Shenzhou dialect was a sign of nobility in Shenzhou.
