After getting up early the next day, Li Zhengyi had a faint smile on his lips and finished breakfast while humming an unknown tune.
Relatively speaking, girls prefer to sleep in. After he had eaten, his sister Li Xiaoli came out of the room yawning.
"Breakfast is in the pot. Clean it up after eating. I'll go out first."
Seeing him walking out of the house, Li Xiaoli didn't react for a while.
Why does the old man have a fake smile on his face? It’s so scary. Does love really make people crazy?
But it’s really nice to have breakfast as soon as you wake up~
Although he got up very early today, Li Zhengyi did not go directly to the courtyard of Miaoshan Village.
Because of special arrangements, he returned home after his morning run and didn't go out again until it was almost nine o'clock.
The Chinese New Year is coming tomorrow, and the flow of people on the streets has become more and more lively.
The children's faces were red from the cold, but they were still very happy running around in groups in the crowd.
The clothes or hats of many people turned red, which looked particularly festive.
The same goes for Li Zhengyi, who specially brought a pair of red gloves and wore the same black sportswear and a pair of blue and white sneakers he bought yesterday.
He looked a little different from the others. Although he enjoyed the New Year atmosphere very much, the expression on his face was even more indifferent.
He only showed a hint of a faint smile, which made many young wives and older girls look back frequently. The main reason was that he was so good-looking.
After buying a bottle of wine and a handful of incense at the market, I turned towards Chengguan Primary School.
Today's main tasks still need to be completed in Miaoshan Village, or to be more precise, inside the temple on Miaoshan Mountain.
Since he has traveled through time and seen ghosts, it is not too much to pay homage to the gods. Maybe the gods will appear and help him.
After Li Zhengyi cleaned up in the small courtyard, he walked along the path up the mountain.
On the other side of this mountain is the Empress Temple, which is famous throughout Xichuan County.
However, what he wanted to worship today was not the Queen Mother. The main reason was that at this time, there must be many pilgrims and tourists in the Queen Mother Temple.
Not to mention the crowd, what if the Queen Mother saw this young man with outstanding appearance and fine bones. There is no reason to recruit him to heaven to be a door-to-door son-in-law.
He hasn't had enough fun in the colorful world yet.
What Li Zhengyi was going to was the Zhenwu Temple, which was a hill away. The temple enshrined none other than Emperor Zhenwu, the founder of Jiutiandang Demon.
Emperor Zhenwu was in charge of subduing demons. In addition to wanting to ward off evil spirits, he also wondered if he could get some help in awakening mission weapons.
After arriving at the top of the mountain, I saw that there were indeed many pedestrians in the Empress Temple. Li Zhengyi didn't stop too much, turned around and walked towards the nearby hilltop.
As the saying goes, "If you look at the mountain, you will be defeated by the horse." It doesn't look far, but it is still quite strenuous to actually walk.
What's more, unlike the road to Niangniang Temple, the road to Zhenwu Temple is much more rugged.
"What are you going to do? You said you have no money. My parents are up there and will be down soon!"
There is a gravel road two or three meters wide at the foot of the mountain. As soon as we reached the foot of the intersection of the two mountains, we heard loud yelling from the front.
Is it a girl?
Li Zhengyi took a few steps forward and saw a group of people standing on the roadside. Three of the men were about the same age as him. They were arrogant and looked like they were not good people.
Opposite the three people, a girl who looked about the same age as Li Xiaoli was protecting a child behind her.
The child looked small, pale and thin. That girl is so white...
After getting closer, Li Zhengyi saw the situation clearly.
The two weak ones were probably a pair of siblings, while the three bastards on the opposite side were eyeing these two well-dressed kids, trying to scare them out of some money.
Sure enough, there are idiots and bastards everywhere, and the most annoying ones are this kind of half-grown brats.
Maybe they are still in school and will not be punished if they catch them, but these things can do anything if they are stupid.
Seeing Li Zhengyi approaching, the eyes of those people turned around, with some hope and some disdain.
A man with dyed yellow hair shouted: "Hey, that kid, what are you looking at! Why don't you get out of here! Wait for me to come and beat you!?"
Damn it, I can’t stand this!
Li Zhengyi didn't reply, but walked towards the woods nearby, as if he was avoiding it. The girl's eyes suddenly became disappointed.
"Hahaha, you are really a coward..."
As soon as the unbridled ridicule came out, the boy who was about the same age as them came out of the woods, holding a wooden stick more than two fingers wide in his hand.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
"Be careful, I'll beat you up...don't come over here!"
"ah!!"
After Li Zhengyi found the weapon, he rushed forward without saying a word. He didn't care about the opponent's reaction and directly swung the wooden stick in his hand and struck hard.
This kind of little brat will be scared as long as it hurts.
"Who are you?"
"Hit me!"
"Coward!"
…
Every time he yelled, he would hit the wooden stick hard, and within a few moments the three people fled. Li Zhengyi has nothing to fear from such a shameless bastard.
"Asshole, do you dare to tell me where you are from? I will definitely bring someone to destroy you!"
They were so cowardly that they ran away and dared to say harsh words. Li Zhengyi despised this kind of rubbish.
"I am the Zhang Xiaoguang of the county. Come and die if you have the guts!"
After the three people ran away, Li Zhengyi still held the weapon in his hand in order to prevent them from returning.
But the main reason is to exercise with weights. In fact, I am not tired at all after holding it for so long.
"Bah, coward!"
He spat at the other person's back and turned around to see the fair-skinned girl coming with her brother.
"Thank you. My parents will be here soon. I will definitely thank you~"
"It's okay, it's nothing. Are you okay?"
Li Zhengyi was being modest and polite, but found that the woman seemed to be looking elsewhere.
Following each other's gaze, I saw a pair of middle-aged men and women wearing dark green coats coming down the mountain road anxiously. When they saw this, their expressions suddenly changed to surprise.
For some reason, Li Zhengyi suddenly felt guilty.
"Haha, it's just a little effort. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying a few words, Li Zhengyi hurriedly slipped along the other side of the gravel road and quickly disappeared into the woods nearby.
"Xiao Zhi, why did you come here?"
"Who was that person just now? Why did he run away when he saw us?"
…
"Huh~"
Seeing that the forest behind him was completely blocked, Li Zhengyi stopped and let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's really weird. You're obviously helping people out, but you feel like you've done something wrong."
Although he felt very strange, he didn't worry too much. After all, there was still business to do, and it was all over.
With this in mind, Li Zhengyi climbed up the mountain road with a wooden stick, not seeing even a single pedestrian along the way.
Are they all going to worship the Queen Mother?
Compared with the prosperity of the Niangniang Temple next door, this place is simply indescribable.
When we got to the top of the mountain, we saw the Zhenwu Temple which was covered with dust. There was no one around and it was very quiet.
Li Zhengyi couldn't help but regret coming up...
