I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 6 The Lantern Festival is coming

As the days passed, Kyoto Prefecture changed from summer to winter.

In the winter months, heavy snow fell for half a month and the weather was so cold that people could be frozen to death.

Even Chen Yi, who had been staying in the room without going out, wore thick cotton clothes and spent the day by the heater.

Not to mention the common people outside the palace.

I heard that several people had frozen to death at home in Changle County, which made the Supreme Emperor in the Imperial City very angry.

I heard from my dad that the Supreme Lord not only slammed the table, but also almost chopped off the head of Kyoto Prefecture Lord, and bluntly said that there were people freezing to death at the foot of the Imperial City, let alone the common people in the world?
From this point, it is not difficult for Chen Yi to infer that the fact that the Wei Dynasty lasted for a thousand years had a lot to do with the emperor's broad vision.

At least the current emperor is a smart man who uses his brain.

But Chen Yi just needed to listen to these.

After the previous "bitter lesson", he has learned to hide his shortcomings.

Otherwise, if he mentioned anything like heated beds and coal stoves, Xia Wanwan would definitely give him more lessons.

He didn't want to ruin his life practicing martial arts before he could experience the good life of the second generation.

That would be more painful than killing him.

So sometimes, Chen Yi is quite envious of the eldest brother Chen Yuan.

Just like now, Zhou Wanyi brought Chen Yuan to visit the right wing.

Xia Wanwan and Zhou Wanyi were sitting around the fireplace chatting, while Chen Yuan was running around with a wooden sword.

Only he - holding the book, he didn't dare to raise his head. He could only prick up his ears and listen to the conversation between the two ladies of the Marquis' Mansion.

Same person but different fate, damn!
Xia Wanwan looked at the snow falling outside the window and sighed, "It's so cold in Kyoto, I'm afraid it will be even colder at Beixiong Pass. I wonder what it will be like when my husband is stationed at the border."

Zhou Wanyi smiled and said, "My husband's martial arts skills are so strong that he is immune to cold evil, water and fire. He will be fine."

"Come to think of it, you were born in Northern Zhili, not far from Beixiongguan, so you should know the weather there best. Is it very cold there?"

"It's very cold." Xia Wanwan nodded and said, "September is the beginning of winter, and every household will prepare dry firewood."

"Even so, if there is continuous heavy snow, some people will freeze to death in their homes."

"I remember when I was a kid, there was a heavy snowfall and the family ran out of firewood early. My father ran out in the snow to ask for help, but he couldn't even get a few sticks."

"and after?"

Chen Yi also raised his head, wanting to know what happened next.

"Later, I had to pay one silver coin for a piece of dry firewood to buy some emergency supplies."

"One silver coin per stick?!"

Zhou Wanyi was surprised and said, "Even in Kyoto Prefecture, such a thing has never happened."

Xia Wanwan smiled bitterly and said, "The mountain was covered in snow and there were demons all around. No one dared to joke with their lives."

"So from then on, dry firewood would be prepared in advance at home to prevent any accidents."

Zhou Wanyi patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand why you are worried about your husband."

"no way……"

Chen Yi also felt a little emotional after listening to this.

It’s not that the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, but it is felt that demons invade from time to time and will cause a big chaos sooner or later.

However, as far as he knew, there had been no war in the north for nearly twenty years.

The last time the Demon Kingdom invaded on a large scale was because the Demon King had just ascended the throne. He said he wanted to prove himself, so he led his army south.

It is said that the war lasted for three years and many people from all walks of life in the Wei Dynasty died.

Especially in Northern Zhili where his grandfather's family lived, white silk was hung outside almost every house.

From this, it was not difficult for Chen Yi to imagine how difficult that battle was.

At this time, the aunt and mother changed the subject and brought him back to his thoughts.

"In a few months, my husband will be stationed at Beixiong Pass." Zhou Wanyi asked, "Sister Wanwan, do you want to visit your parents?"

Xia Wanwan was somewhat tempted, but after thinking about it, she shook her head: "It's not appropriate for me to follow the army as it sets out. Besides, Yi'er is about to build his foundation, so it's not a good idea for him to leave."

"What's the big deal? There are many strong men in the Wu'an Army. I'll let my husband make arrangements for Yi'er when the time comes."

"Still not working..."

Hearing this, Chen Yi glanced at Zhou Wanyi secretly and frowned secretly.

Before he was about to establish his foundation, she suggested that Xia Wanwan return to her parents' home. Does this lady seem to have some new plan?

However, there didn't sound anything unusual in what he said, so it was indeed feasible for him to build a foundation in Northern Zhili.

"Brother, brother, what are you looking at?"

At this time, Chen Yuanfeng ran over and lay on the table looking at him curiously.

Chen Yi glanced at him, closed the book to reveal the cover, and said, "Ten Thousand Characters."

"What is the Wan Zi Wen?" "It has ten thousand characters."

"Ten thousand? Is that one dollar?"

"No, it's a number much larger than one."

Chen Yuan only half understood what was going on, but he praised like an adult: "Brother, you are really amazing."

Chen Yi's forehead was faintly bulging with three blue veins. He noticed Xia Wanwan and Zhou Wanyi looking at him from the corner of his eye, so he forced a smile:
"My brother is even better. He can run that fast."

"Yeah, my great grandfather also praised me like that," Chen Yuan nodded seriously and swung his wooden sword, "Look at my Great Zhoutian Sword Technique!"

As he said this, he suddenly jumped up and swung the wooden sword straight down, hitting the table.

"Isn't it awesome?"

Chen Yi: “…”

He couldn't help but glance at Zhou Wanyi. Are you sure you don't want to beat up this naughty kid?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Wanyi smiled at Xia Wanwan and said, "Yuan'er's brain will probably have to rely on Yi'er's help in the future."

"It's only natural for brothers to help each other." Xia Wanwan also smiled.

After a few words, Zhou Wanyi took Chen Yuan away and said goodbye.

Before leaving, they agreed to go out together during the Lantern Festival, and Xia Wanwan did not refuse.

She had already promised Chen Yi to take him out for a walk, and it would be safer with Zhou Wanyi and her son along.

However, Chen Yi was secretly confused as he watched Zhou Wanyi's back as she left.

She must have some purpose for visiting this time.

Came here specifically to persuade your biological mother to return to her parents' home?

Foundation building?

or……

Chen Yi looked down at his body and suddenly realized something.

Are you here to check on the changes in him after taking the cartilage powder?

……

Over the next few days, the weather cleared up and Kyoto became more lively, but it was still cold.

However, as the Lantern Festival approaches, every household hangs up red lanterns, adding to the festive atmosphere.

But Chen Yi was a little disappointed.

There was nothing special about my second birthday.

Apart from the cakes that Dad asked the kitchen to prepare, there were no other substantial gifts.

Fortunately, Xia Wanwan gave him a few days of "vacation".

Not only were no classes arranged for him, he was also allowed to wander around the mansion.

Of course, he had to be accompanied by servants.

"Master Yi, where do you want to go? I'll take you there."

The servant knelt down to keep himself at the same height as Chen Yi and asked with a smile on his face.

Chen Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the martial arts arena."

"This," the servant said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Master, according to the rules of the mansion, I cannot enter there."

"Oh, can I?"

"Of course you can, but..."

"Then let's walk."

Without giving him a chance to refuse, Chen Yi trotted out of the backyard.

If Xia Wanwan hadn't given him the chance, he would have wanted to go to the martial arts arena a long time ago.

Not long after, the servant brought him to the martial arts arena on the west side of the central courtyard and said with a bitter face:

"Master, don't run around after you go in. If you get bumped into anything, I'll be dead."

"Don't worry, don't worry..."

After saying a perfunctory word, Chen Yi went straight into the martial arts arena.

He is two years old, can run and jump, and has entry-level kendo skills, so there is really nothing wrong with being careful.

But as soon as Chen Yi entered the martial arts arena, he was shocked by the scene in front of him!

"There's a giant ten meters tall!?"
