Chapter 57
Taking to the Streets
"Don't be afraid. I'm still here and I won't let you stand out. Learn more and read more. If you don't understand, don't interrupt first. Ask in private later."
Li Yu saw that she was completely different from when she fled. She seemed to be a different person. There was a bit of peace and relief between her brows, knowing that she had completely figured it out.
No matter how painful the heart is, people must face reality and continue to live.
Lin Yue listened carefully, and the two of them ate the rest. It looked like there were a lot of things, but in fact there were only two or three snacks in each order, and each bite was not big.
Neither of them wasted food. Their escape made them understand more of the sufferings in the world and learn to cherish them.
After eating, Li Yu took out the armband from his box and put it on.
Lin Yue was a little curious when she looked at this thing, so she picked it up and took a look. She felt heavy when picking up the armband.
"Be careful, you can't lift it."
"Good guy, it's so heavy, what is it for?"
Lin Yue was quite surprised, looking left and right to study.
"Girls are not as strong as boys when it comes to carrying weights. Even in archery competitions, their strength is inferior. I wear weights to increase my strength."
"You wear this all the time, even for one day?"
Lin Yue saw that she was skillfully wearing armbands and other items all over her body, as if she did this frequently.
"Yes, I have been wearing it for several years, and the weight has been gradually increased. Apart from taking it off when bathing and sleeping, I wear it when eating and writing."
"Isn't it so tiring after wearing it all day that I can't lift my arms?"
Lin Yue pursed her lips and her expression became serious. At this moment, she really realized how much hard work Li Yu had put in behind the scenes. Such a heavy thing weighed at least thirty or forty pounds on her body every day. This kind of hardship is not something ordinary people can do.
Bearable.
No wonder her clothes were looser, it turned out to be to cover the weight she was wearing.
"It's good to get used to it. After taking it off, your strength and speed will soar to a higher level. I haven't worn it for more than two months in the desert. Now that there is no danger, I still have to wear it. I have to persevere in practicing."
"Li Yu, I obey you, I'm not as good as you!"
Lin Yue lowered her head and finally admitted frankly.
"I just think it's better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. My family comes from a family of military commanders. Raising children is a bit rough. They don't have to be squeamish and weak. Most of the boys in the family will go to the battlefield. If the female family members are weak and unable to bear the burden, what will happen to this family? Who will support it?
My female relatives must have the ability to take charge of the family and support the family."
Because if a man goes to the battlefield, he will probably never come back. Only strong and brave women can keep the family business going.
"..."
Lin Yue helped her arrange her clothes with red eyes, "Make me a small armband later, and I'll wear it too."
"If you don't practice martial arts, why are you wearing it? It's so weird."
"Practice calligraphy and exercise."
"That's okay. I'll make one for you later. It shouldn't be too heavy at the beginning, otherwise your body won't be able to bear it."
"Listen to you."
Honglian came in, "Go back to my lady, the old lady is waiting for you."
"Okay, let's go there right away."
Li Yu also nodded, took Lin Yue's hand and went to greet the old lady.
When they entered the house, Li Rui and Gu Lei were already there, talking to the old lady and Mrs. Du.
"Junior, please say hello to the old lady, and say hello to the madam."
"Okay, get up quickly, good boy."
"Your mother has gone to pack her things, and my husband has gone out to do errands."
The old lady first told the whereabouts of the elders.
"Old lady, we came to your house to make you worry and tired."
"If you don't say these kind words, my mother-in-law won't be happy if you come. The house has not been so lively for a long time. You slept well last night, but if there are servants who are neglecting you, just tell me and I will deal with it."
Mrs. Du asked kindly.
"Don't worry, Sister Honglian and the nuns are very caring and considerate to us. There is nothing wrong with us."
Li Yu answered with a smile.
Next to Mrs. Du stood a girl, two or three years younger than Li Yu, who looked like she was in her early teens.
"Why are you both wearing silver hairpins? Don't you have any jewelry? I have a lot at home. I will send some to you later."
Du Huilan is Du Yu's biological sister.
Old Mrs. Du banged her teacup on the table, her voice was low and stern, "Nonsense, Lan'er, have I ever taught you to be rude like this? Dai Yinzi, someone in the family passed away, doesn't he have any common sense?"
Du Huilan was scolded by the old lady. She was so frightened that she shrank her neck and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
"Don't blame those who don't know, it won't cause any trouble."
Li Yu smiled lightly and waved her hands.
"It's also my fault. I forgot to tell my child. It's my fault."
Mrs. Du immediately stood up and bowed to apologize to the old lady.
Mrs. Du shook her head and asked her to sit down.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Li Rui and Gu Lei picked up tea and drank water without saying a word and turning a deaf ear.
In fact, it is very rude to ask this question. Normally, a girl's family would not wear silver jewelry alone for no special reason. This means that someone in the family has passed away. This is basic common sense.
If you don't even know this, it means you haven't learned the rules very well. It's strange that you don't offend people when you go out.
Du Huilan's question made everyone quite embarrassed.
"There are a lot of fun and delicious things on the streets in this city. If you don't mind, you can go and have a look. My old lady won't accompany you. You just have to do what you want. The girl has to bring her servants with her. She can't go out alone to avoid being on the street.
There is a kidnapper."
The old lady didn't feel comfortable saying anything, so she just served tea.
"Let's go walk around the streets. Old lady, let's say goodbye first."
"Okay, let's go play."
Everyone filed out and left the main hall, and Gu Lei laughed out, "This girl from the Du family is so funny. She must have never learned these rules. The old lady's face is turning green. It's so embarrassing. Du Yu is so pitiful, hahaha
!”
Lin Yue's face was burning, and she couldn't help but think of her previous behavior, whether she was also so ridiculous and rude, and was laughed at behind her back for being poorly educated.
This kind of thing happens several times, and no one comes to propose marriage. Who dares to let such an ignorant girl into the house? I'm afraid it's not a disaster.
"Forget it, the little girl is young, brother, let's go for a walk on the street."
"good."
It's rare to relax.
A few people made an appointment to walk around the streets together. It was also the first time they came back to Rizhao City. This city is relatively large, but it is not as big and prosperous as Linqi City.
When you go out on the street, the streets are busy with traffic and people coming and going. It is peaceful and peaceful. It is a completely different state from the refugees fleeing the famine outside. They are simply two different worlds.
The people here are calm and not too anxious. Some are talking about outside affairs, but not too nervous and fearful. The shops on the street are open for business as usual.
It is a scene of prosperity and prosperity, and you would never imagine that there are refugees who are hungry even further away.
"It's like a dream."
Lin Yue muttered.
"Yeah, I thought I was having a nightmare. It seems like I was right to come here."
Li Yu also nodded in response.
"The most soothing thing is still the fireworks in this world."
Gu Lei let out a long sigh, as if he had some realization.
