The road was muddy on a rainy day, and it was not until the afternoon that Li Yi entered Gaoyang City. Li Yi carried the injured girl to the bed, asked Xiaoyu to boil hot water, and went to hire a doctor himself.

They were busy for a while and didn't stop until it got dark. Xiaoyu also went to bed early because of exhaustion. However, Li Yi couldn't do this. Instead, he turned on the oil lamp and read a book while observing the little girl's condition.

Late at night, the little girl finally woke up, and Li Yi could feel her body tremble suddenly, and then calm down again.

This is a smart little girl who took the most appropriate action in such a short period of time, which was to secretly pretend to be asleep while carefully looking around her.

Li Yi did not remain silent, but gently closed the book, stood up, walked to the bed, pointed to the lunch box on the bedside, and said, "Are you hungry? This is a bowl of noodles. Eat it."

There was a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone, and it was this momentum that made the little girl sit up suddenly, lowering her head and looking at Li Yi.

This well-behaved look made Li Yi calm down. The majesty just now was just intentional. Now he opened the lunch box, took out the bowl of noodles inside, and placed it in front of the little girl.

The little girl looked up at Li Yi's kind eyes. Although she was very hungry, she hesitated and did not make a move. Tears fell from her eyes. Everything in front of her was like a dream, the warm bed, the fragrant food, and the food.

There are eyes full of care, this kind of thing is like a dream.

The little girl pinched her waist secretly, and the stinging sensation made her eyes even more confused. She couldn't figure out, how could all this happen if she wasn't dreaming?

At this moment, Xiaoyu opened the door and came in, holding a plate with hot steamed buns on it.

"She's awake?!" Xiaoyu said with some surprise, as if she was afraid of waking up, her tone was very low.

Li Yi nodded, handed the bowl to Xiaoyu, took a few steps back, and walked out of the room.

Xiaoyu placed the plate on the square table, then placed a large bowl of noodles in front of the little girl, and then placed a plate of snow-white steamed buns on the table.

She touched the little girl's arm affectionately with her hand and said, "Sit down and eat quickly! Don't be afraid, it's delicious. I know you are very hungry. You must not have been full for a long time."

The little girl's throat and eye bones trembled violently, and the smell of noodles and steamed buns made her a little dizzy.

Xiaoyu's gentle and kind look made her let go of her vigilance and confusion. She sat down obediently, picked up her chopsticks, took a long breath, then, without thinking about anything else, started eating with a heavy head.

After getting hungry, everyone looked the same when eating. The little girl wolfed down the noodles like a savage and swallowed two steamed buns. It could be seen that she could eat more.

Too much, but restrained!

Xiaoyu took the bowl and chopsticks and asked with a smile: "You have eaten too much. Do you feel a little uncomfortable in your stomach?"

The little girl ate too much too quickly, and her stomach, which could digest bark and grass roots, was not blessed with such normal food.

Fortunately, the meals prepared by Xiaoyu were reasonable, otherwise this little girl would probably have died of strangulation. This has happened before.

Li Yi stood under the eaves outside. Xiaoyu opened the door and walked out, smiling at him.

Li Yi nodded and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Well, let's ask clearly. Her name is He Pingmei, from Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi. She was born in a businessman's family and was relatively wealthy. It was only after the refugee riots, her father was killed, and the family property was embezzled by officials that she fell to this point.

." Xiaoyu sighed.

Li Yi nodded after hearing this. Seeing Xiaoyu's childish face full of adult-like worries, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheeks in a funny way, saying: "Don't look sad every day, it will make you look ugly."

Xiaoyu opened Li Yi's hand strangely, turned around and entered the house.

Li Yi followed in, looked at the little girl's pitiful, thin cheeks, nodded and smiled.

This move made the little girl even more shy. When she thought of herself standing in front of such a young man wearing tattered clothes to cover up her shame, the excitement in her heart turned into a kind of pain.

The little girl stood up, walked hesitantly to Li Yi, and knelt down on the ground, "Ping Mei, thank you for saving me. I will never repay you even if I die."

"With a little effort, listening to your words, it sounds like I have read a book?" Li Yi asked with an air of dignity.

"Dad hired a gentleman for two years before, and later he helped manage the accounts, so he is still literate." He Pingmei said meekly.

"This is rare. If you don't mind it, you can stay here first and make plans after you recover from your injuries." Li Yi arranged.

Li Yixing had sharp eyes and sharp eyebrows, and a handsome face. He Pingmei didn't dare to look at him at all. She lowered her head uncomfortably and clenched her little hand.

"Then, thank you for taking me in, Master..." She was already nervous, but now with the surprise, she felt even more uncomfortable, and her voice was trembling a little.

Li Yi asked her a few words, then let her rest peacefully, and he and Xiaoyu left the room.

"Xiaoyu, let her follow you from now on, she can be considered a helper." Li Yi said.

Xiaoyu said with joy on her face, "That's the best. Pingmei is both literate and knows how to calculate accounts, so she will definitely be a good helper."

Li Yi turned around and looked at Xiaoyu, half encouraging, half urging: "She is just helping you. Xiaoyu, I said, I need your help, so He Pingmei knows it, you have to learn it quickly, only

Only in this way can I do what I want to do well.”

Xiaoyu knew what Li Yi meant. She nodded heavily, knowing what Li Yi expected of her, and she would never let Li Yi down.

In the early morning of the next day, when the rooster had just begun to crow, Li Yi put on his training clothes, went to the courtyard and did a set of boxing, then washed himself and started reading.

"Mencius" has almost been read, but the annotations of the ancients also need to be studied carefully. It is best to recite these in the morning.

It was just dawn and the sun had not yet risen, but a faint glow of morning light burst out from the eastern sky.

Xiaoyu also got up early. Seeing that Li Yi had already started reading, she smiled crookedly and started to wash up and prepare breakfast.

It felt good to have someone taking care of him. A smile appeared on Li Yi's face unconsciously, and he continued to read. When it was already bright, he changed into a Confucian shirt and robe, and sat down to have breakfast refreshed.

I once heard someone say that the later you go to bed and the later you get up, the uglier you become.

Of course there is no basis for this statement, but going to bed early and getting up early, breathing the morning air, watching the rising sun, using martial arts to strengthen the body, and using culture to nourish the mind, will eventually leave you full of energy and a wonderful atmosphere.

Breakfast is not very rich. Two plates of side dishes, a bowl of porridge, and a steamed bun are enough.

"Xiaoyu, just clean up at home today. If you go out to buy something, you can ask the housekeeper. Just pay attention to safety." Li Yi explained while drinking gruel.

I won't be back until tonight, and I have to have lunch at the school, so I don't want to take Xiaoyu to get to know the surroundings.
