Chapter 20: Hold the Sword in Your Hand

Li Jingshu's words "I'll go" made the entire main hall quiet.

Li Xuanming turned his head to look at Li Jingshu: "Jingshu, you--"

An's voice raised his voice and interrupted Li Xuanming: "How can you let Jingshu, go? It's very messy outside, let alone Jingshu, you are the eldest girl from our Li family, the noble daughter of the official family. How can you let you buy food in person?"

"No matter how noble a person is, he can't afford a meal," Li Jingshu smiled and said, "In the current situation, there is no me at home, and a few servants are enough to guard the house. Besides, as a warrior, ordinary refugees and thieves outside are not my opponent. A real warrior, whose martial arts skills are higher than mine, will not rob me for such a little food."

Li Jingshu said to An, who wanted to speak but stopped, "I am the most suitable one."

Li Xuanming looked relieved and smiled, saying, "Jingshu, I am worthy of being the pearl of my Li family!"

In the main hall, all the servants looked up at Li Jingshu secretly, with a look of awe on their faces, and awe from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, Li Ling also felt that Li Jingshu was shining.

This has been the case for so many years.

After so many years, Li Jingshu has been the pearl of the Li family!

Both Li Zhi and Li Jingjing were covered by Li Jingshu's light and looked dull.

As the eldest son born in the Li family and the only male heir, Li Zhi can still attract everyone's attention.

And what about Li Jingjing?

As a concubine's daughter, Li Jingjing not only did not have the opportunity to practice martial arts, but also wanted to survive under the suppression of An's family every day. She did not have any chance to raise her head.

With such a brilliant Li Jingshu Mingzhu in front of him, this Li Jingjing, whose appearance is seventy-sixth-same as Li Jingshu, is like a "imitation" and "flawed product" of Li Jingshu. Who would be willing to look at her attentively?

After this day after day, how can Li Jingjing not be inferior? So how can she not be cowardly?

At this moment, Li Ling suddenly understood the Li Jingjing from the past very well.

Li Jingjing used to be both inferior and helpless.

But now, she is Li Ling, she is not Li Jingjing!

Even though in her heart, Li Ling has already regarded Aunt Qian as her relative, she is still Li Ling!

As long as she is Li Ling, she will never allow herself to live like Li Jingjing one day.

She, Li Ling, will not spend her time competing for glory with others. What she wants is to live the way she wants to live.

Li Ling lowered his eyebrows and began to imagine his current situation.

Now that the doomsday is coming, it is impossible for her to leave the Li family early as she had previously budgeted.

She must first learn the martial arts in the Beauty Bible to make herself able to gain a foothold in the end of the world. Only then can she be considered capable of breaking away from this Li Mansion.

The most urgent task of all this is that she must find a single time alone, so that she can open the bracelet, look through the martial arts secrets, and also find time to start practicing martial arts quickly!

Thinking of this, and thinking about Aunt Qian and Xiaochao who are always attached to her, Li Ling feels warm and helpless.

Just when Li Lingchou had no chance to learn martial arts, Li Zhi, who had been quiet, suddenly shouted: "I want to go too."

"Stop!" Li Xuanming said: "Your sister is a serious warrior, what are you going to do?"

Li Zhi said: "I can push the cart for my sister."

Since they are preparing to store grain, the Li family must of course buy a truck of grain first, rather than a bag of grain.

Li Xuanming couldn't refuse and said, "This kind of thing is enough for a servant! You don't have to go."

Seeing that Li Zhi was going to say something else, Li Xuanming glared at him angrily.

Li Zhi was unwilling to accept it, but he still sat back in his seat obediently.

An snorted and said, "Let our Jingshu go, why don't you ask the second girl to go too?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qian was shocked and hurriedly said, "Madam, the second girl is too weak..."

Li Ling didn't say anything. She was eating the food from the Li family herself. If she asked her to buy food, she would of course be obliged. Unfortunately... it was a pity... It was a pity that her weak body, just like the body of her now, a delicate lady with a daughter who was sick, not to mention pushing a cart, even if she walked over and wanted to walk back, she would probably be exhausted and slumped on the road.

If she goes, that wouldn't it just cause trouble!

Therefore, Li Ling had to answer.

Li Xuanming glanced at Li Ling and shook his head habitually: "How can Miss Second?"

Li Jingshu said: "It's almost dark, I'll leave now!"

An hurriedly said, "Since it's almost dark, why not go tomorrow."

"Who knows what tomorrow will be," Li Jingshu called out the two servants, turned around and left: "I'd better hope the road goes smoothly!"

Not long after leaving the house, Li Jingshu said, "It's true that it's not going well."

Li Jingshu and his servant ran to many grain stores. The grain store was either closed or finally knocked on the door of the grain store. When the owner heard that the person who came to buy grain, he shook his head and refused.

No one has experienced the end of the world, many have experienced war.

When the world is in chaos, food is always hard currency, and it is always prepared for any trouble.

No one is willing to sell it.

Looking at the hesitant and fearful expressions of the two servants, Li Jingshu said lightly: "Continue looking for it."

Li Jingshu and the servant ran away for a long time, and finally found a grain store that was willing to sell grain when it was dark.

The grain store is not big, and the boss is a middle-aged man with a haggard face. The middle-aged man sighed: "Today, I am willing to sell food here. I am simply the best person in the world."

After sighing this, the middle-aged boss said directly: "No cash receipt."

The servant was furious: "This is not a cashier, what do you want to buy it?"

The boss smiled and said, "Who knows? You may be bartering in the future."

Li Jingshu stopped the servant and said, "We will buy whatever you are willing to sell. We will give you whatever you are willing to buy."

"I am worthy of being my daughter, I, ah... I am so ashamed," the boss sighed: "I want all the clothes and accessories on the girl."

Li Jingshu's face turned cold.

The boss hurriedly explained: "I don't mean to be disrespectful to the girl. Alas..." The boss wiped the corners of his eyes: "I have a girl. She has thought since she was a child that she could wear the best-looking clothes one day. She envied everyone's costumes for more than ten years. It's not that I can't afford it, but life is not easy and I can't bear to give up money. Yesterday she fell ill and is lying in the inner room now. I don't know if there is any chance to make her happy in the future, nor do I know if she can wake up..."

"Okay!" Li Jingshu stopped the boss's words: "Give me a set of clothes and I'll change it immediately."

"Why!"

Li Jingshu changed into a coarse linen and tied her head at will. Except for the sword, she gave everything else to the grain shop owner.

The middle-aged boss held Li Jingshu's clothes and smiled and sent them into the inner room. Then he turned around and helped the two servants to put the food in the car.

The food was filled with trucks, and the price of this truck was far away from Li Jingshu's clothes.

Li Jingshu was in front, and the two servants pushed a cart of food behind, and the three returned to Li's mansion.

This journey is less peaceful than it has happened.

When the third batch of refugees who robbed food were beaten away by Li Jingshu, several drops of blood fell from Li Jingshu's long sword.

The originally prosperous and stable capital turned into a place where robbers were prevalent. The warriors who patrol the city had not yet appeared.

The number of robbers who came to grab food in these three batches was more than that of the next.

Li Jingshu also took action more and more ruthlessly. By this time, one person had died under Li Jingshu's sword.

The servant looked at the corpse tremblingly in the middle of the road: "Grand girl, what should we do?"

Li Jingshu looked around.

It was already dark, and the doors were closed on the long street, and there was no one figure around. Only one or two candlelights shone through the paper window, and the cold wind was swaying.

Li Jingshu returned to the sword and returned to the sheath, and her eyes were dark: "Hold the sword in her hand tightly!"
