Chapter 841 Absolute Balance
Taking advantage of the time before dawn, Li Yi calmed down and planned to have a good sleep to recuperate his energy.
But he couldn't fall asleep for a long time. As soon as he closed his eyes, the death of the killers and the King of Chu would appear in his mind.
In a daze, he did not know when he returned to the palace of the King of Chu.
The huge palace of the King of Chu was empty, and the guards and maids had disappeared.
There was only a bronze cauldron set up in the lobby, and the firewood below was strong and steaming.
Li Yi took two steps forward and looked into the cauldron.
The cauldron was filled with clear water, and King Chu's head sank to the bottom of the cauldron, his eyes closed tightly, as if he was asleep.
Suddenly, King Chu's head opened his eyes and stared at Li Yi fiercely. He suddenly jumped up from the water, opened his mouth and bit Li Yi.
Li Yi was caught off guard and hid behind him, his body trembled as well, and he woke up immediately.
It turned out that he had a nightmare.
Opening my eyes, the sky outside the window was already dim.
Awakened by Li Yi's shaking, Liu Yifei turned over, covered her eyes with the back of her hand, and asked vaguely: "What time is it?"
Li Yi raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, took the mobile phone from the pillow, looked at the time, and then replied: "It's not six o'clock yet, you can sleep a little longer."
Liu Yifei responded in a daze and closed her eyes again.
Li Yi was lying on the kang, looking at the ceiling, recalling the dream just now.
Despite the estrangement of memory, the psychological pressure caused by the murder is still real.
After having this dream, Li Yi finally understood why there is post-traumatic stress disorder.
Once he woke up, he couldn't sleep again.
There was a noise next door, as if Lao Huang and Grandma Huang were getting up.
Li Yi also put on his clothes, got up from bed, and came to the door.
Lao Huang wrapped himself in a cotton-padded jacket and went out, not knowing what he was doing.
Grandma Huang came to the kitchen and prepared to make breakfast.
Seeing Li Yi come out, Grandma Huang asked with a smile: "Why did you get up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer? I'll call you when the meal is ready."
"can not fall asleep."
Li Yi smiled and shook his head, then volunteered: "Let me help you cook!"
Grandma Huang couldn't resist, so she ordered: "Go and light the fire! Can you burn it?"
It is naturally not difficult for Li Yi to light a fire.
After a few clicks, he lit a fire, placed a large pot on the stove, and filled it with water. Li Yi sat on the small bench in front of the stove and was stunned when he looked at the blazing flames in the stove. .
It wasn't until Lao Huang came in from the door holding a small aluminum basin, breathing heavily, that Li Yi came back to his senses.
“Heat this up for the baby.”
Lao Huang handed the small aluminum basin to his wife. Most of the basin was filled with warm milk.
As he said that, he grinned at Li Yi and explained: "People in the city drink milk for breakfast, so I will give you some.
This is freshly squeezed milk, without water at all, and it is nutritious. "
Looking at his smiling face, Li Yi's mood suddenly improved for some reason.
Even if everything in the dream space is real, it was more than two thousand years ago. It is useless to think about it.
The most important thing is to live a good real life and do more meaningful things.
“Then I’ll drink two more bowls.”
After making a joke, Li Yi stood up and came to the chopping board, signaling to Grandma Huang who was busy cutting potato slices: "Grandma Huang, let me do it! You take a rest."
Grandma Huang washed the potatoes with cold water, her hands were already red from the cold. "no, I'm fine…"
Grandma Huang still wanted to shirk it, but she heard Liu Yifei's laughter coming from outside the door: "Grandma Huang, just let him do it! He is a master chef, and you should try his skills."
Speaking, Liu Yifei jumped in from the door.
“The sun is rising in the west today? Are you getting up so early?”
Li Yi turned around and glanced at her with a smile.
In the past, Liu Yifei would sleep in whenever he was around, and she would sleep as long as she could.
But today Liu Yifei was uncharacteristically getting up early.
“Is it strange? I’ve always been so dedicated, okay?”
Liu Yifei made a joke and said hello to Grandpa Huang, then came to Li Yi and looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yi was cutting shredded potatoes and looked at her doubtfully.
"nothing."
Liu Yifei observed him carefully, but did not explain.
Just after Li Yi got up, she wanted to continue sleeping, but she couldn't fall asleep.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that something was wrong with Li Yi, but she couldn't tell.
So she got up and followed him.
But after careful observation, she found that Li Yi seemed to be fine.
This made her doubt her sixth sense. Could it be that she felt something was wrong?
Looking at Li Yi, she hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "If you are unhappy with anything, you must tell me!"
Hearing this, Li Yi looked back at her, smiled slightly, and then nodded.
Seeing this, Liu Yifei finally felt relieved, turned her attention to Li Yi's potatoes, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
“Fry some potato slices and some cabbage.”
Li Yi said casually while quickly cutting the potatoes into thin slices.
Actually, these are the only two dishes in the kitchen. If you don’t fry them, you won’t be able to eat them.
The kitchen knife jingled against the chopping board. Li Yi was cutting vegetables and observing the cut potato slices, but the more he looked at them, the more dissatisfied he became.
After cutting a potato, he picked up the kitchen knife, held the back of the knife with three fingers, and flicked the knife.
He is not showing off his skills, but feeling the center of gravity of the sword.
He has trouble using this old kitchen knife.
Have been forging weapons in the dream space for more than ten years, and pursuing perfect effects has become an occupational disease for him.
Weapons are extensions of hands and feet. A good weapon must be in perfect ergonomics.
The weapons suitable for each person are also different. Even if it is the same weapon, the different processing of details can greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the warrior.
In the past, Li Yi had high requirements for using a knife, but he was not picky.
He can use the Jinshan Imperial Kitchen Knife, as well as ordinary kitchen knives.
But now, he suddenly can no longer tolerate ordinary kitchen knives. He just feels that it is awkward no matter how he holds it, and it feels awkward no matter how he uses it.
He also tried the Jinshan Royal Kitchen Knife, but found that the Jinshan Royal Kitchen Knife could not fully fit his body and achieve absolute balance.
The only thing that can give him a sense of absolute balance and fit is the eight-sided iron sword inserted in Ou Yezi's grave.
When he holds the sword, he will have the feeling that the sword has grown out of his body, and he will feel comfortable no matter how he uses it.
After enduring the awkwardness and finishing the dishes, Li Yi secretly decided to change the Jinshan Royal Kitchen Knife as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to cook anymore.
