Chapter 250: Money, let people put down their dignity (realistic)
Li Si made a simple estimate of how long he could live.
Now he has practiced his martial arts to the extreme, which may be a little worse than the old monk at that time, but the difference is only the accumulation of time. Anyone who has reached this level of martial arts can live to about three hundred to four hundred years. He is over 40 years old this year. Apart from the one hundred years he gave to the old monk, he still has about two hundred years to live.
Two hundred years...
In the seemingly empty backyard, Li Si sat alone under the eaves, looking at the sunset that was not flying at all until the sunset faded.
How do you live for such a long time?
Li Siku sat for a long time, finally smiled bitterly and shook his head. His heart was really old. Even though he still wanted to try his best to maintain a young man who could still love and hate, it is undeniable that what was beating in his chest now was a heart like a rotten wood. It is difficult to have too many waves, nor can there be any joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
When you can be so cold and lose all your sorrow or joy, you may really not be like a human being when you live.
But what can I do? Li Si is always alive, always wants to try the clear conscience mentioned by the old monk, and always hopes to live a relief instead of dying with full of guilt and regret. This is also the reason why he adopted those children. He wants to try to ask for a result that can be relieved for himself.
However, how can one be considered a kind of relief? Perhaps when a person has no debt to this world, he can be relieved. Or perhaps, when a person tries his best to live once, he can be relieved.
Did Li Si survived with all his best efforts? I don’t know, but for someone like him, he is still alive now, probably a way to use all his strength.
He could not let go of his wife in his previous life. He killed his mentor in this life with his own hands. He had no worries, but he was still alive.
Sometimes even he didn't know why he was still alive, perhaps because he promised his wife that if he could live again, he would take her to see the mountains and rivers.
Or maybe it was because the old monk was still asking for a way to live for him before he died.
But Li Si is really tired, he is really tired...
Under the setting sun, Li Si slowly leaned against the railing beside him. After a while, he opened his mouth but could not sigh. Only the iron sword in his arms was cold.

Today is the fifth day of Zhang Shan'er's living in Wenlai Villa. It can be said that he never thought that he could live such a life. He could have a warm bed and quilt when he was sleeping, and when he got up, he could have cooked food. He read and write with a group of children in the morning, and practice martial arts under the guidance of his husband in the afternoon. In the evening, everyone sat together to enjoy the cool air and chat, laugh and play.
For the first time, he felt that he was so satisfied with life, and he didn't even want to ask for more. As long as he kept going like this, there was no need for any change, everything was enough.
Everything was just right, and the brothers and sisters were very nice to him. It was only after he lived here that he realized that the children here were all beggars and abandoned children brought back by the husband from all over the place. This made him let go of his last concerns and completely integrate into Zhuangzi's life.
The husband is also very nice to him, which is understandable. All children, including him, think so. Mr. is the best person in this world. Although sometimes his temperament is a little unrestrained, but Mr. is born beautiful, knowledgeable, has a high martial arts skills, and has a good heart. What is this kind of person not the best person in this world?
When she was free, Zhang Shan'er's favorite thing was to sit next to her husband silently, read, or practice calligraphy.
Because the husband is always quiet, and there is also a faint smell of herbs, which makes people feel at ease, so he can always calm down and do these things. He is used to living a displaced life, so this silent stability is the most rare thing for him.
For this reason, his second brother Lian Qing rolled his eyes a lot because Lian Qing liked to doze off by his husband. Because of his reason, Lian Qing was always called by his husband to study together recently.
Lian Qing is the most skilled in martial arts among the children. Even the husband said that he was a good martial arts scholar, but he was very lazy and would never do ten if he could do eight points of things. Because of this, he has been criticized by the husband a lot on weekdays. However, he has never given him any more words to the husband.
As for the best study, it is his third sister Huiwen. Because she didn't have a name when she came, the husband gave her one. This made Zhang Shan very envious, because in his opinion, this name is really much better than his name.
Huiwen doesn't like to talk. Apart from the questions asked by her husband, she usually only uses one or two words to answer other people's words. However, her heart is actually very good. She is the one who takes care of her younger brothers and sisters the most. Occasionally, her husband makes some snacks and she will stay for her younger brothers and sisters to eat.
Life in the villa was always very peaceful. Until this day, the husband suddenly called five older children, including Zhang Shan, and handed them a few stacks of paper with some words printed on them, asking them to distribute it in Chang'an City to the east.
"Accepting the idle and trivial matters?" My elder sister Li Qing looked in her hand with a piece of paper, and looked at her husband in confusion, probably because she didn't understand his plan. She had said before that she did not have a surname, so after she arrived at the villa, she always used Li Si's surname.
"Yes." Li Si smiled bitterly and rubbed his brows.
"It's time for our villa to use money. You can't steal or rob, right?"
Although he used to be in this business.
If you want to say that Wenlai Villa is located in a very good location, there is a small town at the foot of the mountain, which can be used to buy some daily supplies. If you go east, you won’t be far away from Chang’an City. There are all dignitaries and nobles in that place. Anyone who can make some business there can basically make a few money.
So Li Si thought of this method. Since he has no skills, he can help others do things. As long as he does not go against his conscience, help others deal with some idle and trivial matters, and collects some money, he can also have a stable income.
"Sir, if the villa needs money, we can go and sell our arts. Now we have some martial arts, so there is no need to let you show up in public."
Lao Si Zhuang Cheng said this: He is tall and relatively honest, and he can be said to be very consistent with his appearance.
"I'm not at the point where I want you to make money." Li Si reached out with a dark face and bounced Zhuang Cheng's forehead, then patted the yellow paper in front of several people and said.
"Okay, take these to Chang'an City and send them out, and send some in the small town at the foot of the mountain. This is what you do today. Also, keep these silver for flowers on the road, remember to come back before nightfall."
The road to Chang'an City is not far away, and these older children have some internal strength. Even Zhang Shan, who just arrived, has been raised by Li Si using the internal temperature, and his body is much better than that of ordinary people. In addition, they are very stable, so Li Si is not worried about the dangers they will have on the road. As long as you don't play around in the city and forget the time.
Although Li Si could have gone by himself, he still had some acquaintances in Chang'an City, so it was really inconvenient to ask him to hand out flyers by himself. Of course, it was also embarrassing. So after thinking about it, he had the intention to let these children go, just to treat it as a different kind of personnel. After all, they would not be able to stay in the villa for the rest of their lives.
Without saying anything more, the children were persuaded to leave by Li Si with a wry smile.
