The Path of a Swordsman

Peaceful Days

Peaceful Days

Aug 19, 2024

When he woke up, it was the beginning of Yin Mo Mao's life. Since he started breathing and vomiting, his sleep had become very regular and of high quality. This is roughly equivalent to around 5 o'clock in the previous life, before dawn, the entire town was shrouded in a thick fog unique to the hilly area, fortunately it was not smog.

After washing up for a while, Li Ji began to cross his legs and become angry. Half an hour later, he made 3000 lunges, advances, and fencers, followed by 500 push ups and 200 sit ups. These were his daily morning homework, and he didn't know if it was scientific or not. He just felt good about himself. After finishing homework, it was already a moment past the hour of Mao, around 7:30. At this time, Cixi Town had begun to wake up, with drivers, vegetable sellers, and breakfast vendors adding infinite vitality to the town.

The sun has risen, and the mist has been swept away. The lazy and lazy atmosphere of the Jiangnan water town in the past comes to Li Ji's face. Walking on the streets paved with bluestone, Li Ji's mood has become much more cheerful. Compared to my past life, there is no steel or concrete here, no hustle and bustle of cars, and no hurried crowds of people with footsteps and machinery... Life should be like this...

A few young girls and daughters in law emerged from the small alley ahead, each holding a wooden barrel or basin filled with clothes. People in the small town are accustomed to washing clothes by the side of Cixi, using a unique soap cone and sweet stream water. The washed clothes have a fresh and sweet fragrance. Li Ji certainly wouldn't do that. He didn't have the time or mood to mess around with a group of women. The blood stained clothes he took off had already been washed with well water last night. For someone who had lived alone for more than ten years in his past life, this was not a problem at all, although in this world, it's a bit strange for a big man to wash his own clothes.

The chattering women walked past happily, but Li Ji didn't notice. He was a very indifferent person, like in his past life, and even more introverted in this life. However, a young voice called out to him, "Brother Li, Brother Li

The owner of the voice is a young girl, aged 17 or 8, with a rosy and simple face. Her hands holding a wooden basin look rough due to long-term labor, not particularly beautiful, but with a healthy and youthful aura emanating from her simple face. There are no ugly women in 18 or 9, roughly so. This is Xiaofang, a girl from Feng's tailor's house in the small town. She is clever and skilled, and is also a well-known good girl in Cixi Town.

It's Miss Xiaofang, what's up? Is there anything wrong? "Li Ji asked knowingly.

Brother Li... I saw that your clothes were stained with blood when you came back yesterday... Give them to me, I'll help you wash them... "The woman from Cixi is gentle like water, but her personality is not at all sluggish. She dares to think and speak without hiding anything. The women around her couldn't help but giggle.

Thank you for your concern. I finished washing the clothes last night, so I won't bother you anymore. Next time, I'll gather a basin and come find you to wash them. Do you think that's okay.

Every time... "Xiaofang's face showed an undisguised disappointment. After hesitating, she didn't say much and left with her companions. From afar, the sound of women playing and scolding seemed to be related to him...

Li Ji shook his head and left on his own. How could he not guess the thoughts of this girl, who has been a person for two lifetimes? However, given his current situation, how could he consider such a matter? His future is uncertain and his direction is uncertain. It is precisely because he is a good girl that he does not want to be involved with her, and this has nothing to do with his appearance. Keep a distance, don't give her fantasies, so she won't hurt anyone, after all, his heart is not here...

The girls in this world, "Li Ji sighed." It's not like what's written in previous online articles. There are top-notch beauties everywhere, with skin as smooth as cream and a national charm as soon as they go out. It's not that he's picky, nor is it that Cixi women are ugly. They're all ordinary people, with ordinary appearances and ordinary appearances. As working people, it's unrealistic to expect them to have fair and charming skin every day. This is a real world... Anyway, Li Ji is still very happy. Being liked and remembered by others is always a pleasant thing.

Walking through Zhenxi Street and turning south, there is a small alley where several good breakfast shops are concentrated. Among them, Baozi Zhang is the most famous. As a rural resident, the meat buns that are the size of an adult's fist and have thin and large skin are unique to Nanli. They are chopped camel beef, accompanied by a small amount of scallions and green skinned tiger peppers. They are filled with a large lump of meat, and when you bite into them, it is truly delicious. Li Ji has eaten all over the streets and alleys of Cixi, but breakfast is a must-have.

In the alley, there were crowds of people rushing around. "Sanlang is here..." and "You Hao, sit here..." were constant greetings. Having been here for nearly a year, Li Ji couldn't possibly recognize everyone in the town, but there was no one who didn't know the famous Li Sanlang. Li Ji nodded in greeting one by one, and someone had already given up the bench. Soon after, ten large steamed buns with beef and two large bowls of red bean porridge were brought over. Li Ji was in his prime and had been working hard every day, already hungry and exhausted. For a while, his food was flying like a feather and the wind was swirling like clouds.

Li Ji doesn't have to pay to eat here. It's not that he's bullying the market. Baozi Zhang wishes Sanlang could come and eat every day, every meal. If he could eat alone, how much could he eat for a restaurant? The key is that since he came here for breakfast at a fixed time, no one from all over Cixi, big or small, dares to come here to eat overbearing food anymore. With this alone, all the breakfast shops in town are jealous of Baozi Zhang. As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Li Ji is not a proud person. As a rural civil servant, if you behave too provocatively and honestly, what will others do?

After finishing his meal, Li Ji walked out of the alley amidst the cheers of the diners. It was one of his important tasks to go to the town office at dawn every day, and he despised the card swiping system in this world. There were only three formal employees in Cixi Town who were eating public meals, and a few temporary workers were added when needed. Qiangfu Xujihai, Guanlao Xiao Ziming, and himself. It used to be so easy for everyone, with things coming and going. However, Qiangfu remained rigid and inflexible, without any flexibility, and acted like a county lord in terms of formality. He was also a person who wanted to become an official and go crazy.

The town office is located in the center of Cixi Town Street, with a small courtyard that is not much larger than the one where Li Ji lives, but its location is quite eye-catching. When Li Ji entered the door, the other two had already arrived. Generally, Li Ji was always the last one. He had few things to do, did not seek power, and was somewhat aggressive, so no one pointed fingers at him.

After a few Q&A sessions with Qiangfu Xujihai and a few casual chats with a few book assistants, knowing that there was nothing urgent today, they prepared to go to the town for a routine inspection. The common people at the bottom are usually like this, busy to death when they have something to do, and leisurely when they have nothing to do. They go to entertain themselves and no one comes to take care of them. Before leaving, I met the official Xiao Ziming, but they both pretended not to see each other and ignored each other.

This Xiao Ziming is the only local born and raised among the three public positions in Cixi Town. He rose from a humble background among the village elders, while Li Ji comes from Shuangcheng. As for Xu Jihai, he came from an imperial examination background and his family is even further away. Xiao Ziming is a local and has a network of connections that cannot be compared to others. He is naturally mean and cunning. Although he is not a big villain, he has a lot of petty calculations and exploitation. Li Ji, who is a newcomer, did not understand the relationship at first. He defended justice in several disputes and offended this guy fiercely.
