The gate to the post station was locked, but Li Shu was an excellent locksmith, so he sneaked in and took a stroll.

Yao's father remained silent, while Li Shu opened the cabinet and looked at the documents.

She knew that these documents were of varying importance and urgency. In the past, Li Chutian had handled important documents, and whenever that happened, he didn't even dare to sleep. He would pay great attention to the handover process and would never allow any problems to arise in his hands.

As for these ordinary documents, they are sealed in boxes with wax and then locked away. If they are accidentally lost, one will be punished.

The correspondence was divided into two cabinets, and neither of them were urgent.

Li Shu picked out a document that was to be sent to the county town. These document boxes all had labels indicating their destination, so they would not be mixed up under normal circumstances.

As far as she knew, Yao's father was illiterate, so there were extra red and white markings on these boxes. These were probably marks that Yao's father made himself when he received the documents to avoid confusion.

Li Shu moved the ordinary document to the side that was being sent to the military camp.

Li Shu didn't touch the wax seal.

She simply found a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and immediately drew a letter with her left hand.

The letter contained no words, only a very poorly drawn "fire avoidance diagram." Then, a piece of paper was picked out from the old documents, put into it, and sandwiched between several document boxes.

After doing all this, Li Shu did not kill or set fires, but instead put his things away and left quietly.

Murder is too dangerous; she wouldn't dare.

The Yao family is now incredibly powerful; with one person achieving success, even their chickens and dogs rise to prominence. That's why they dare to threaten Lao Luo and scheme against her. So she wants to see if they really have the ability to be so high and mighty.

The methods she just used were extremely conspicuous. If Yao's father could carefully check the number of documents, he would be able to discover some problems.

Li Shu also hoped that he would find out, so that she could let Yao's father experience what it felt like to be haunted by Li Chutian's ghost.

Previously, Li Shu had not considered targeting the Yao family because she believed that if she killed Yao Aning and Ma Chengting in the future, the Yao family would naturally suffer as well. Moreover, she had been working hard on the mountain for the past few days and was quite tired, so she wanted to put these trivial matters aside for the time being.

But I never expected that the Yao family would be so courageous.

Since that's the case, let's see who's the worst.

……

Li Shu went back to catch up on sleep early in the morning. When she woke up, it was already evening, and the people who had been drinking had all left. Only then did she go to see Old Yu.

This time, Old Yu didn't say much.

"Your archery skills are quite good; it's not something you can master overnight." Old Yu was also somewhat impressed. "Women are physically weaker, and unless they train day in and day out for ten years, it's difficult to make up for this natural disadvantage. So, although your accuracy is good, you can't use a heavy bow. This kind of light bow can only deal with ordinary people. If you're facing enemies wearing armor, you'll easily be at a disadvantage..."

Li Shu listened attentively without refuting, but said, "If there is a weakness, then we should make up for it. Ten or twenty years is fine."

Old Yu nodded approvingly.

“If you don’t have brute force, then you must practice skill and strength. You choose a weapon, and from today onwards, practice diligently every day, and you will surely be rewarded.” Li Shu’s attitude made Old Yu feel very comfortable.

I just don't know if her body can handle saying all that.

“Master should be most skilled with spears and whips, so I’ll learn those from you.” Li Shu said decisively.

She can also learn more from her seniors.

Moreover, while she has bows and arrows for ranged attacks, she needs to consider how to protect herself at close range. There are many warhorses on the border, and bandits often use their horse advantage to attack. If she uses swords, her short arms and legs will put her at a disadvantage. In comparison, spears or whips are more suitable.

Old Yu agreed with her choice and immediately began to give her her first lesson.

Be familiar with your own weapon.

Although Old Yu felt that Li Shu had ideas, he didn't have high expectations for teaching her. He simply believed that no matter how much a woman studied, she wouldn't be able to achieve much.

Being able to protect oneself in a simple way is enough.

However, when Li Shu began training, Old Yu was somewhat shocked.

Her gait didn't seem like that of a novice.

She was alert and her strength was greater than he had imagined. Moreover, Li Shu could accurately point out the key points he mentioned. If practicing martial arts was a physical activity, then for Li Shu it was a combination of mental and physical strength. She did not clumsily imitate any of her movements, but rather judged the situation before acting.

Therefore, she can learn a set of marksmanship very quickly.

Old Yu interpreted it as talent.

Besides talent, there is also perseverance.

It's inevitable to get injured while practicing martial arts; it's common to fall and bump into things by accident. This child may be sharp-tongued, but she never backs down when something happens. The more difficult the situation is, the more desperate she becomes.

If an ordinary person trained like this, they would be almost unable to walk the next day.

However, Li Shu's condition is still acceptable; he can stretch his muscles and bones, enduring what ordinary people cannot.

The Chen siblings said that Old Yu was ruthless, but Li Shu felt it wasn't enough.

She could tell that the old man looked down on her because she was a girl, so he held back, which made her very unhappy. So, whenever she had free time, she asked someone to build some plum blossom stakes in the yard so she could practice with them, which would make her lower body more stable and her reactions more agile.

Her improvements surprised many people.

A group of friends originally planned to take Li Shu to Beishan for fun...

However, every time they came to her door, they saw her working hard. The old man Yu who used to get up early in the morning to crack the whip seemed to have been exhausted, and his eyes were filled with fatigue.

"Uncle Yu, aren't you being too strict?! Let Ali rest for a while! She was injured last year and her energy was depleted, how can she train like this?!" Chen Feiqing was very worried.

"..." Old Man Yu's lips twitched.

歇?

He's told her so many times! He's gently told this girl that she doesn't need to work so hard, but she won't listen!

So crazy, Old Yu couldn't help but wonder if this girl had some deep-seated grudge and was planning to hone her skills to take revenge!

He had never met anyone so ruthless to himself in his entire life.

"Don't worry, she's smart. She always stretches after practice, so it won't hurt," Old Yu said, then pointed to the strange decorations in his yard. "Want to try them out? Those stones can be used to train arm strength. I got them from Beishan at this little girl's request. She's also planning to dig a big mud pit, saying it'll increase resistance and strengthen her leg muscles. I think that's feasible too..."

"You young people have come at the right time, dig." He was tired and didn't want to move.

"..." Duan Changdong and the others looked at each other in silence.

"It seems like only a few days have passed, but Li Shu looks different, doesn't he? Has he gotten darker?" Chang Fa muttered to himself.

“If you’re out in the sun all day, you’ll get tanned too!” Chen Ying retorted immediately. “You guys aren’t even as good as my cousin. She’s been working so hard these past few days. If she were a man, she could be a general!”

"..." Duan Changdong and the others felt very uncomfortable.

It's one thing to use Quaris, but why kick them while they're down?!
