Water Ghost, God Hunter, Immortal Healer, and the Great Xia's Number One Martial Saint!

Inside the brick kiln, the other six brothers, along with their sons, finished their share of the profits.

As they negotiated with the silver, their shifting shadows under the lamplight resembled ghosts and monsters, yet they remained oblivious, instead displaying smug satisfaction.

After receiving the silver, he felt completely satisfied and even felt like he was floating on air.

The hardship brought by the continuous brick-making for many days seemed to vanish at this moment.

…………

"Choo choo..."

Using the light of the setting sun illuminating the road, Li Xingdao walked back with steady and powerful steps. He felt light on his feet and his face showed joy.

"The 2.6 Spirit attribute is indeed extraordinary. Not only has my strength increased greatly, but my body has also become lighter."

Li Xingdao felt the power and lightness surging through his body, a smile playing on his lips. He felt as if he had inexhaustible strength and energy.

Clutching the porcelain basin in my arms, I hurried back, my heart filled with joy.

"If it already feels like this at 2.6, what would it feel like if we kept upgrading, and the fisherman and woodcutter both reached level five, and we just added a whole attribute point to them?"

Li Xingdao couldn't help but feel a sense of apprehension, but when he thought about the large amount of experience required to upgrade both professions to level five, he shook his head and instead focused on the more practical farmer profession, his eyes flickering slightly.

"The farmer profession requires land work to unlock. I don't know if harvesting crops counts as land work? If it does, the farmer profession will unlock in three days, and I will immediately gain 0.1 attribute points."

Li Xingdao's eyes darted around, his heart filled with anticipation: "The Li family has finished cultivating dozens of acres of land, harvesting and planting twice. Normally, it shouldn't be a problem for them to reach level three. At that time, their attributes will directly reach 2.8, which is close to three times that of an ordinary person."

Thinking of this, Li Xingdao felt a surge of excitement. As usual, he stretched all his muscles on the way to help them recover faster before continuing his journey.

Before long, they arrived at Li Lai's house. Pushing open the gate, they saw that Li Lai and Zhang Cui had already finished eating. Li Lai had gone to lie down in the inner room early, leaving only Zhang Cui in the yard washing clothes.

Seeing Li Xingdao return, carrying a bowl of pork belly, Zhang Cui's eyes brightened, and she smiled sweetly on her fair and gentle face, saying, "Xingdao, you're back."

"Hey, you're back!"

"The work at the brick kiln is almost done. I'll rest at home for the next three days. I asked Li Nao for this pot of meat. I'll eat it once a day for the next three days to help me recover before I go to the fields to harvest the grain."

Li Xingdao placed the pork belly on the table with a broad smile, then took out the 20 eggs he had earned that day and handed them to Zhang Cui, saying with a smile:

"Here are the eggs I earned today. Is my chicken ready?"

Previously, Li Lai had promised Li Xingdao that he would give him a chicken every two weeks.

Now that another half month has passed, it is naturally time for Li Lai to fulfill his promise, which is why Li Xingdao asked this question.

With both pork belly and chicken, won't this result in a waste of nutrients?

Li Xingdao said that boys can still grow taller at 23 or 25, but he is only 18 years old now, and his body has plenty of room to develop. He needs nutrition at this time, and he can digest any amount of nutrition he takes in. Moreover, he needs to lay the foundation for improving his attributes.

Moreover, after half a month, although I had been replenishing my body with oil and water, my body was still exhausted.

Eating more nutritious and meaty foods can also help the body recover better.

It's said that you should rest for 3 days, but if you don't eat or sleep well during those 3 days, it certainly won't help your body recover.

The higher the energy intake, the better the recovery will be, and only then will it be able to better harvest the grain in the fields.

Therefore, Li Xingdao openly expressed his desire to play PUBG, since these reasons seemed reasonable to Li Nao and his ilk.

Or rather, he didn't even need to explain; they themselves felt it was reasonable for him to eat another chicken.

They didn't see Li Nao, whose work intensity was far lower than Li Xingdao's. They themselves ate all kinds of fish and meat before the autumn harvest to recover and accumulate strength.

Li Xingdao, who does hard work like cutting down trees, naturally needs it even more.

"Don't worry, everything is prepared for you."

Upon hearing Li Xingdao's words, Zhang Cui smiled broadly and spoke.

Then she looked at the porcelain basin he was holding and said to him earnestly:

"If you don't eat the pork belly in this porcelain bowl, I won't let anyone else eat it, don't worry."

Pork belly was a rare and precious commodity in those days, even more expensive than lean meat.

Zhang Cui swallowed hard as she watched, but she knew this was the only benefit Li Xingdao had gained.

To consider Li Xingdao's feelings, she decided to give him all the pork belly.

As for Li Lai, needless to say, with the autumn harvest just around the corner, he certainly wouldn't provoke Li Xingdao at this crucial juncture.

That's why Zhang Cui, who knew Li Lai's thoughts, spoke so frankly.

"Okay, Zhang Cui, then you can put this pork belly away. Tomorrow, I'm going to eat it all in one day, then rest for one day, and the day after that, I'm going to eat that chicken to my heart's content."

Li Xingdao spoke with a smile.

As he was talking, he remembered how precious the pork belly was and worried that someone might steal some of it, so he changed his original plan of "finishing it in three days" to "finishing it in one day tomorrow."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something, raised an eyebrow, and took a step forward with a smile. He reached out and pulled Zhang Cui's soft body into his arms, bringing his mouth close to her ear and speaking with a smile:

"But now, the agreed-upon restriction of 'not being able to touch you for a month' is about to come, so you'd better be ready for me."

"Don't worry, everything is ready."

Zhang Cui blushed slightly upon hearing Li Xingdao's words and hurriedly spoke up.

Hearing this, Li Xingdao nodded in satisfaction and released her soft body.

He took off his soaking wet clothes, took a bath, and had Zhang Cui wash his clothes in the yard before comfortably lying down in the inner room and falling into a deep sleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

It has to be said that in this sweltering heat, let alone working, even just sitting under the sun is a test for humans; the heat is unbearable.

This meant that although Li Xingdao tried to chop wood with minimal effort all day, by the end of the day his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was so exhausted that he fell asleep immediately.

Li Xingdao fell asleep very quickly.

Zhang Cui tidied up her clothes and cleaned herself, then wiped her hands and went back into the room. Her cheeks were flushed as she looked at Li Xingdao, wanting to say something, but she realized that he had already fallen asleep.

She pursed her lips and gently waved her fan at him.

Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, and feeling sleepy herself, she went back to bed and lay down to prepare to fall asleep.

Just looking at Li Xingdao's strong and powerful body in her sleep, and thinking about what she could do, her face unconsciously flushed again.

.....................

Perhaps because his spiritual attribute had increased again, Li Xingdao felt that the soreness in his body had almost completely subsided after waking up again. There were only some minor hindrances, and he would be fine after resting for another day or two.

Sensing this change, Li Xingdao's face was also full of smiles.

Harvesting grain and planting crops is not easy, and he was worried that he would feel tired and unable to take it. However, his body was able to recover so quickly before the autumn harvest, which made him feel relieved.

When he smelled the aroma of the food, he came out with a smile, brushed his teeth, and sat down next to Zhang Cui to eat heartily.

"A month has passed now. I always keep my word. From now on, you two can do whatever you want."

As Li Xingdao ate heartily, Li Lai glanced at him, then at Zhang Cui sitting beside him. After slowly finishing his meal, he left a message, put his hands behind his back, and went back into the house.

Zhang Cui, her face flushed, was left behind. Li Xingdao glanced at Zhang Cui sitting beside him with a slight movement in his eyes.

"Zhang Cui, do you really think you can do whatever you want with me?"
