Water Ghost, God Hunter, Immortal Healer, and the Great Xia's Number One Martial Saint!
Chapter 2 I Won't Let You Eat Your Way to Death
Li Lai, relying on the large number of men in his family, ran rampant in the village, robbing women, seizing land, and committing all sorts of evil deeds.
Even though he has broken his leg and can't move, because he has many brothers, no one dares to touch him. They even dare to invite Li Xingdao, this fool, to their home to help them and do free work.
As for the promised land?
Once his leg heals, will he still be able to admit his mistake?
However, no matter how many men there are in his family, they are all just ordinary people.
If he improves his attributes through the job panel, his spirit attribute will increase to around 5 points.
With five times the physical strength, I can knock one down with a single punch. Why would I be afraid of a lot of them?
"Now you're using women and land as bait to lure me into playing for free. Once I've got the hang of it, I'll take both the women and the land back!"
Li Xingdao looked at the profession panel, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
In my past life, I worked overtime every day and obeyed the law despite various restrictions.
But that doesn't mean he lacks ruthlessness.
Otherwise, why would they choose to work so hard?
And now...
With his cheat-like abilities at his disposal, he would never tolerate such humiliation again!
He then touched his somewhat hungry stomach, glanced at the food on the bedside table, and immediately sat up.
Without thinking twice, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and ate it in big gulps.
Before long, after finishing a bowl of rice and dishes, Li Xingdao's hungry stomach was filled, and he felt a long-lost feeling of fullness.
Without hesitation, he got up, rolled up the bedding on the bed, and took the only belongings he had left at the door—a hoe, a sickle, and an axe—into the house.
Then he locked the door, took the bowl and chopsticks, and walked towards Li Lai's house, which was not far away.
Along the way, most of the houses were made of mud bricks and thatched roofs, with only a few brick houses. The road was made of rammed yellow earth, and vegetable gardens were enclosed by wooden fences on both sides. There were also chickens and ducks moving around in poultry sheds.
"Woof woof~"
A few barks could be heard from afar, but the mute dogs and wolfhounds nearby did not bark at Li Xingdao, who had grown up in the village.
"Judging from this situation, it is indeed a peaceful and prosperous time."
As Li Xingdao observed the scenes unfolding in this humble village, he couldn't help but ponder them. It wasn't until he reached a house with blue bricks and tiles that he narrowed his eyes.
"But even in peaceful times, there are always these wicked villains."
As for what a chaotic world is like?
Li Xingdao dared not think about it; in any case, he absolutely did not want to live in a chaotic world!
"Oh, the pedestrians have arrived."
As Li Xingdao was thinking about this, he arrived at the door of the large house made of blue bricks and tiles. Just then, the aunt who was pouring water came out. When she saw Li Xingdao, her eyes lit up and she said.
This is the Li Lai family, who seized his land and tricked him into doing free work with women and land, hoping to exploit him and ensure his family's survival!
The woman, whom Li Xingdao called "Auntie," stepped forward with a smile and took the bowl and chopsticks from his hands: "How is it? Is this enough for you?"
"With such good grain grown on your land, how could there not be enough to eat?"
Looking at the woman in front of him, who was fairly pretty, with fair skin and a graceful figure, Li Xingdao deliberately wore a silly grin: "If I could eat my fill, I would have liked to come earlier."
"Okay, eat up, I'll definitely feed you until you're full."
Hearing Li Xingdao's words, Aunt Xiuli's beautiful face beamed with joy, her fair skin trembling slightly. She immediately grabbed Li Xingdao's arm and pulled him into the yard.
"Come on, rest at home for a while. After your aunt washes the dishes, I'll take you to get acquainted with the land. In the evening, you can kowtow to Uncle Lai, and then you can eat the food at home without worry."
Aunt Zhang Cui smiled as she spoke, telling Li Xingdao to stay in the yard while she gracefully went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and pots.
Li Xingdao wore a silly grin the whole time. After Zhang Cui swayed her hips into the kitchen, he took a step forward and went into the tiled house.
The main room was in the very center of the tiled house. Apart from the altar and the tables and chairs for eating and entertaining guests, although these tables and chairs were better than those in his house, there wasn't much to see.
Li Xingdao first looked into the west room and saw that it was filled with farm tools and stored grain, but no one lived there.
Then, looking into the east room, there was a bed, a wooden wardrobe, blue bricks paving the floor, a dressing table, and a pair of walking sticks.
Li Lai's family is wealthy; every piece of furniture is made of high-quality materials and crafted from the best materials.
But Li Xingdao didn't look at him much. Instead, he looked at a thin man lying on the wooden bed with his cane. When he saw that the man's legs were tied with cloth strips, he immediately smiled.
Seeing his enemy's leg broken, how could he not be happy!
I was even thinking that a comminuted fracture would be the best outcome!
If his legs hadn't been broken, he wouldn't have had such an easy time finding fertile land to feed himself!
"Hey, you're here now. From now on, work hard for your uncle. Not only will I feed you, but I'll also give you five acres of land when you leave. It's only because your uncle loves you that I'm doing this. Where else can you find such a good deal?"
Li Xingdao came in, looked at him, and smiled. Li Lai also turned his head and saw him, but he just thought he was grinning foolishly and said with a smile:
"Although we're not from the same sect and aren't related by blood, it's all because Uncle Lai treats you well."
In this year's climate, when others are forming alliances, they'd hire a young and strong man like him, offering at least eight acres of land and treating him to good food and drink.
And you, a nobody, are paying me wages with land you stole from my house, less than others, and you say you're good to me?
"Uncle Lai, thank you so much! Uncle Lai, you're so kind to me!"
Li Xingdao's face turned red, his eyes reddened, and he expressed his deep gratitude. He walked to Li Lai, who was lying on the bed unable to move and had become much thinner due to his injuries, and began to beat him hard on the back and shake him violently by grabbing his shoulders.
"Pfft, you stupid donkey, don't bother thanking your uncle, let go, let go..."
Li Xingdao pounded and shook Li Lai with all his might, making Li Lai feel like his bones were about to break and he couldn't breathe properly. He struggled frantically and shouted.
"What's wrong? Oh my god, are you trying to kill your uncle...?"
Just then, Zhang Cui's voice rang out from outside the house, followed by her graceful figure entering the house. Upon seeing the scene inside, her eyes widened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to pull Li Xingdao out.
He then took off Li Lai's shirt, who was grimacing, and saw that his back and shoulders were bruised. He stared at him with wide eyes.
"Oh, no, Auntie. I'm so grateful to my uncle for feeding me, giving me a place to stay, and even giving me land! I'm so touched!"
Li Xingdao put on airs, still wearing his honest expression, and spoke with a straight face and red eyes.
It's just a bit of a pity that I'm too weak from hunger right now, otherwise I would have crippled him half to death after this commotion...
"Your uncle is injured, he can't withstand this kind of torment from you."
If a normal person were to blush like this, it would be frightening, but Li Xingdao's reaction made them feel genuinely moved. Zhang Cui glared at him and could only scold him.
"You idiot, I'll kill your father, you son of a bitch..."
It took Li Lai a while to recover his senses. He picked up the cane and was about to strike Li Xingdao with a fierce look in his eyes, but after picking it up, he remembered what was going on and immediately put it down.
He then looked at Li Xingdao's genuinely moved and honest face, his lips twitching, and cursed angrily, "Don't let this idiot speak to me again, fuck him!"
Li Lai cursed under his breath, but Li Xingdao, who had beaten him up, pretended not to understand and still had a silly smile on his face.
"Alright, I'll rest. You hurry up and take him to check out the land. This afternoon, send that idiot up the mountain to chop firewood!"
Li Lai felt annoyed by Li Xingdao's simple-minded appearance and impatiently told them to leave.
"Alright, let's go, let's walk. Auntie will take you to see the land around the house."
Zhang Cui pursed her lips, feeling reprimanded, put down the medicine, looked up and smiled at Li Xingdao, leading him to familiarize himself with the land.
Li Xingdao sneered inwardly, thinking to himself that this was nothing, just a little interest.
Later on, I'll work hard in your house. The good days are yet to come.
He followed with a silly grin, but his eyes flickered as he looked at the woodcutter profession he was waiting to unlock.
Chopping wood?
