After the competition ended that day, Li Zhi was not allowed to go back to Kongshan. The Jinyun Clan Association specially arranged a place for him to stay, so that he could prepare for the battle in Luo City with peace of mind for the past three days, saving him from traveling back and forth and wasting unnecessary energy.
It's just that no inn in Luo City is willing to accept him. There are a few vacant rooms in the Jinyun Ancestral Hall, but it is not suitable for him to stay as a foreigner. After thinking about it, the clan leader still came forward and invited him to be a guest.
He stayed overnight at Jinyun Mansion.
The patriarch is a very kind man, takes great care of Li Zhi, and personally takes care of his stay.
He was quietly arranged in an elegant small courtyard away from the backyard. It was another residence of Jin Yunlan when she was a child. When she got tired of living in Jialan Courtyard, she sneaked into this small courtyard to study and practice martial arts alone to pass the morning light.
, so there are books on the bookshelves in the room, and many weapons standing in the corner.
When she came back, she was getting older. After she was sorted out, the new courtyard she lived in was far away from this small courtyard, so she didn't come here often.
Now this place has been vacant for a long time, and the servants at home come to clean it up every now and then, but they only sweep the floor and dust dust on the surface, without doing deep cleaning. Therefore, the patriarch brought Li Zhi to move in, and saw this gray hut and the
I felt a little unhappy when my impression of Yaju was so different.
He apologized to Li Zhi: "This is the place where my little girl lived when she was a child. It is rarely used now. I thought it would be elegant and quiet here, so you don't need to be too cautious. I never thought that the servants in the house would neglect to take care of themselves. I'd better find another place to be with you."
Just stay."
Li Zhi shook his head: "No need, it's very nice here."
The clan leader did not go against his will, "If you think it's good, that's the best. I'll find someone to clean it up for you right away. Who's coming..." He stretched out his arms to call, but was stopped by Li Zhi again.
"No, I'll do it myself."
The patriarch smiled hesitantly, "Okay. There is a well there, you can draw water." He pointed to a well that was vaguely visible behind a few banana trees, and then pointed to a low house in the corner, "
There should be cleaning supplies there. I'll send someone to bring you new bedding shortly."
Li Zhi nodded: "Thank you."
The patriarch was startled, then smiled: "It should be."
After the patriarch left, Li Zhi rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning. He fetched water from the well, rinsed the rag, wrung it out, and wiped every place in the room clean one by one.
There was a light blue dress hanging on the folded screen. He shook it off and compared its length. It looked like a dress worn by a girl about ten years old. The silk was soft and cool to the touch.
The embroidery is also clouds and glow, very gorgeous and dazzling. However, this beautiful dress has a bad fate. It is damaged in several places, especially the cuffs, which are cut by an unknown sharp weapon. A very long gash is dangling.
below.
"Ah, this dress is actually here." Yuanyuan stood at the door holding the quilt and exclaimed.
Li Zhi followed the reputation and saw that it was her. She thought that the Jinyun clan leader was a caring person. He would not be too restrained if he asked someone relevant to help him.
"This is a gift from the eldest elder to the young lady on her tenth birthday. She looked very showy in this dress on her birthday. She was so pretty." Yuanyuanman made Li Zhi's bed while recalling, "It's just that the young lady was careless. It happened to be
The skirt was so delicate that after wearing it no less than three or five times, it was bruised all over her body. After a big hole broke in the cuff, she decided not to wear the skirt again, fearing that it would be ruined in her hands."
A rare joy flashed in Li Zhi's eyes. He folded it and temporarily placed it on the chair.
Xiaoxiao came after hearing the sound, and burst in through the door with a "meow, meow, meow" sound. When she saw a stranger, she was stunned for a moment, and then moved her bloated body towards him gracefully.
Li Zhi knelt down and reached out to get closer, but he was not in a hurry to touch it, but gave it enough time to detect whether his breath was dangerous.
Soon Xiaoxiao turned her head and rubbed his palm with peace of mind, and soon held her most important head in his palm.
"It seems that Xiaoxiao likes you very much, just like Miss." Yuanman said with a smile.
Li Zhi showed a faint smile, slowly rippling on the cold lake like ripples.
Yuanyuan was surprised. I had never seen him look good after several encounters. I didn't expect him to have such a gentle smile. Has his mood changed? Or is it just because his thoughts towards the lady have changed.
"I heard that Miss cured your mother."
Li Zhi raised his head and said, "Yes."
Yuanyuan leaned against the round table: "I didn't quite believe it at first, but it seems that the young lady does have the ability to bring people back to life."
"How do you say this?" Li Zhi was very interested. It should be said that his dull curiosity was really recalled at this moment. The sudden incident and too many subsequent events left him no time to guess how Jin Yunlan revived his mother.
of.
Yuanman raised his face towards Xiaoxiao and asked him: "Has the lady mentioned Xiaoxiao's matter to you?"
Li Zhi nodded slightly: "Yes."
Yuanyuan looked at the clingy cat and continued: "When the lady met it in the yard, it was actually close to death. On the way to seek medical treatment, it lost its breath. Perhaps the lady was too obsessed, so she asked Xiaoxiao
After transferring the spiritual power, he was unexpectedly resurrected, but the lady fell into a coma for three days and three nights. From that day on, she discovered her strange ability. However, she wanted to avoid getting into trouble if this ability became known.
Therefore, the young lady never showed anyone, nor did she reveal anything to others."
"I won't tell anyone." Li Zhi immediately made his position clear and understanding.
Yuanyuan smiled and said: "I don't need to say this, you can naturally think of it. Anyway, the lady is in Kongshan, so I have nothing to worry about. I hope she can wake up soon." She sighed lightly, mixed with a little cry.
"Okay, you have a rest. If you have nothing to do, you can also hang out outside this courtyard and get familiar with it earlier. Sooner or later you will have to come in." She muttered the last sentence in a low voice without calling Li.
Zhi heard clearly, causing him to look at her blankly.
After Yuan Man left, Li Zhi continued to clean the yard. After dinner, he sat alone on a stone bench outside the door. A maple tree was planted beside him. The branches had not been trimmed for a long time, and they were leaning out to the side, which was very carefree.
Instead, a glowing silence fell over his head.
He put the two lamps together and placed them on the stone table under the tree. Encouraged by the breeze, the tongues of flames jumped up much higher, emitting a stronger light. He searched out the needle and thread from the closet and concentrated on the damaged piece.
The amazing little dress is being mended.
That night, all the contestants were anxiously preparing for the second day of riding and archery. Li Zhi sat contentedly under the maple tree, threading needles and doing needlework quietly. His mind was racing with thoughts, imagining what he had been like when he was a child.
This scene shows Jin Yunlan chattering and jumping up and down in this courtyard.
It must be very lively and lively, making the moonlight reluctant to stay cold any longer.
The next morning, she went out early and headed to the competition ground.
As some players were injured in the previous day's competition, including Jin Yunchong, today's mounted archery was without some participants.
The gambling house opened the handicap early in the morning. Originally, the people in Luo City, with the intention of cheering for their own families, started betting on the players of their own tribe. However, yesterday Li Zhi shined on the field and became the favorite to win the championship. Originally, it was
No one paid attention to the odds of 10, and after just one night it dropped to 1 to 2. But even though it was only 2, many people secretly bet on him at the risk of being condemned.
However, there was a man who was very knowledgeable and made a huge bet on Li Zhi on the first day, and made a lot of money in just one day.
This person is Li Tang. He is full of confidence in his brother's strength, so naturally he cannot let go of this opportunity to send money to his door.
Then things naturally evolved into a situation where the younger brother charged in the front and the older brother collected money from behind and received a soft hand.
Mounted archery on the second day was undoubtedly Li Zhi's strength. He just suffered a little loss when choosing his mount.
Almost all the other contestants have their own special mounts, but Li Zhi is not familiar with the horses in the stables of Jinyun Academy.
After everyone else got on their horses, only the infamous Overlord Flower was left in the stable.
The last person to fall on it was Miss Jinyun. Now all the players who have suffered at the hands of Li Zhi are secretly waiting to see what he can do.
I saw Li Zhi unhurriedly opening the fence, taking Bawanghua out of the stable, picking up a brush to comb its flowing mane, and gently stroking its head.
The Overlord Flower was greatly helped, and its stubborn and wild temper was calmed down by these caresses. It gasped happily and began to dig at the grass with its iron hooves.
"Good boy." Li Zhi praised it.
This was incredible. Overlord Hua opened his mouth happily, raised his front hooves, jumped up, and then walked around Li Zhi in a flattering circle.
Li Zhi dragged another bundle of fodder and fed it slowly. He liked feeding animals very much, and he fed the iron-eating beasts on Kongshan Mountain the most. He seemed to be born with a fondness for animals, and he was also loved by them.
Li Tang quietly observed his younger brother's performance in the dark and saw that he was too relaxed and seemed to have completely forgotten that he was in the arena. Behind him, horses were trampling swallows and arrows were flying. He was still drinking calmly here.
horse.
A warning pebble flew from the dark place and was about to hit Li Zhi's elbow. The horse's tail cleverly swept the pebble away, and it rolled to the ground with a "snap".
He took a few steps back and crushed it to pieces...
As the target became more and more full of arrows, Li Zhi finally got on his horse and rushed into the arena.
Competitors will receive ten arrows engraved with their names, and there are only three targets in the field.
The entire racecourse accommodates hundreds of players. More than a hundred horses are galloping on the field at the same time. There is no specific path or unified direction. They are completely taking advantage of every opportunity and taking advantage of every opportunity, and they are not allowed to stop from the beginning to the end.
In such a chaotic scene, contestants need to control the direction and deal with unexpected collisions and interference from other contestants, and at the same time aim at the bullseye, try to leave their own arrows on the target, and get high scores. In the end, the scores are accumulated, from
From high to low, the ranking is determined.
Li Zhi entered late, and the scene was already in chaos, and entered a weird balance. If he forced his way in at this moment, he would probably make everyone in the audience flip over, causing the game to be terminated.
He took the opportunity to find a gap in the periphery, and the moment he ran in, he opened his bow and fired an arrow. Someone saw that he was trying to pick up the leak, so naturally they couldn't let him get what he wanted, so they turned their horses and rushed towards him.
But Li Zhi didn't expect that the bow would be so vulnerable, so he broke the bowstring with just a little effort.
When the player who was about to interfere with him saw this, he snickered and turned around.
Each man is equipped with only one bow and ten arrows. If the bow string breaks, he has no hope of winning the championship.
Without hesitation, Li Zhi threw the broken bow outside the field, and with a bang, it hit the elders right in front of them.
The elders looked at the broken bow and smiled tacitly.
The clan leader clasped his fingers together and held them in front of his eyes, looking forward to them.
"Come on, Li Zhi, let us see your sun-shooting bow." This chapter has been completed!
