Abandoning literature for martial arts, starting by unleashing the beauty's bow.

The older tea drinker cleared his throat again. "Guess what? That crazy old man just waved his hand lightly, and five or six guards from the Guo family flew up on the spot, flying more than ten feet away."

Moreover, it paused in mid-air for at least three breaths before landing on the ground.

The young tea drinker was taken aback at first, then sneered, "You really have no limits when it comes to bragging. You've made this crazy old man sound like a god."

The older tea drinker was displeased. "Everything I said is true. Last night, just as Old Master Guo's carriage entered the gate, that crazy old man went in."

The gate wasn't closed yet, and I happened to be passing by, so I got a clear view of what was happening inside.

You're right, that mad old man is a living god. If he weren't a god, how could he possess such terrifying abilities!

The young tea drinker chuckled, "It's only been a few days, but your acting skills have improved quite a bit. You're making it sound so real."

An angry expression appeared on the older tea drinker's face. "If anything I just said is a lie, I'll take your surname!"

Seeing his companion's anger, the young tea drinker quickly wiped the smile from his face. "Are you serious?"

The older tea drinker rolled his eyes. "I don't need to make up a story like this to please you."

A young tea drinker leaned over and asked, "What happened next?"

"What else can we do?"

The older tea drinker looked at the Guo family, a gloating expression on his face. "You didn't see it, Old Master Guo usually acts all high and mighty in front of us."

But after that living deity unleashed his powers, he was so terrified he trembled all over and almost wet himself.

The young tea drinker then asked, "Was the bride taken away?"

"What else can we do?"

The older tea drinker coughed lightly at this point, "When the living god took the bride away, Old Man Guo not only didn't dare to utter a sound, but he almost buried his head in his crotch, fearing that the living god would target him."

A young tea drinker asked, "Did you see the bride? What did she look like?"

The older tea drinker chuckled, "You're always thinking about these things. To be honest, Old Master Guo has a good eye. That bride is really beautiful, with both looks and figure."

The only slight drawback is that her skin is a little bit dark.

The young tea drinker sighed regretfully, "I wander around this street almost every day, why wasn't he here last night?"

At this point, he blinked and asked, "You're saying there really are gods in this world?"

"Of course! There definitely is!"

The older tea drinker spoke with absolute certainty, “I heard my grandfather say that he personally witnessed immortals flying over our Qinghe County, and not just one, but three.”

The young tea drinker eagerly asked, "Tell me quickly, what do these immortals look like...?"

…………

There are immortals in the Azure Origin Realm.

There are many legends about this in Qinghe County.

There were several such passages in the original owner's memories.

However, these are almost all rumors and cannot be believed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fengnian lost interest in listening. After finishing his tea, he got up and slowly walked out of the teahouse.

After a brief hesitation, he walked straight towards the Guo family's house diagonally opposite.

About twenty steps from the gate, a man guarding the entrance raised his chin and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you, and what do you want?"

Lu Fengnian stopped and said expressionlessly, "My master sent me here to remind your master that if anyone dares to leak even a single detail about my junior sister, they will face the consequences!"

Upon hearing this, the four men guarding the door all changed their expressions drastically.

The man who had spoken earlier immediately bowed low, saying in a fearful and obsequious tone, "Little deity, please wait a moment, I will go and fetch the master right away."

Lu Fengnian gently raised his hand, "No need, just pass on the message to him."

The man nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I'll make sure I tell my master exactly what you said."

Lu Fengnian gave a soft "hmm," flicked his sleeve, slowly turned around, and walked unhurriedly toward the street corner in the distance.

…………

At this point, he was certain that what the man in the teahouse had said was basically true.

Qiu Qingbai was indeed taken away, but he couldn't be sure whether the crazy old man who took him away was a deity.

But one thing is certain: this mad old man is no ordinary person; he possesses extraordinary abilities.

At the same time, considering Qiu Qing's innate superhuman strength, she might actually be some kind of cultivation genius.

In this light, Qiu Qingbai's trip to Qinghe County was a blessing in disguise.

Thinking of this, Lu Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.

…………

Having left the Guo family behind, he went to the market in Qinghe County.

Since the family was already struggling to make ends meet, they naturally had to buy some rice, salt, and other necessities to take home.

I compared prices from several vendors and got a general idea of ​​the rice market.

One dou of rice weighs eight jin, which is about seventy wen.

The money from selling the hides was only enough to buy three bushels of rice.

After careful consideration, Lu Fengnian bought a peck of rice, some salt, a pound of sand pears, and some easy-to-preserve vegetables, such as radishes and Chinese cabbage. He also spent five coins to buy a pound of the cheapest coarse wine and six coins to buy twelve steamed buns, spending a total of one hundred and thirty coins.

He then left without stopping and returned to Mao'er Village with his belongings.

He ate a steamed bun as he walked, which he had for lunch.

He walked slowly, deliberately slowing his pace, thinking he would enter the village after dark to avoid being seen.

…………

As night fell completely, Lu Fengnian had already reached the entrance of Mao'er Village.

But instead of going into the village immediately, he squatted in a grove of trees in front of the village and waited until it got dark before quietly returning home.

Dinner was already prepared, and Liu Yunjuan and Lu Xiaoyu had been looking out the door several times.

The mother and daughter were overjoyed to finally see Lu Fengnian.

Seeing the rice, vegetables, salt, and pears they had bought, they couldn't stop smiling.

"Mother, the two pieces of leather sold for a total of 220 coins. After buying these things, we now have 90 coins left. Please keep them safe."

Lu Fengnian handed the remaining money to Liu Yunjuan.

Liu Yunjuan's face was full of satisfaction and pride, but she didn't take the money. She waved her hand and said, "You are the pillar of the family now. You should keep this money. We need to pay the household tax right now. In the future, you'll need money to get married and Xiaoyu will get married."

Lu Fengnian stuffed all the money into Liu Yunjuan's hand, "Mom, don't think that far ahead. This money is to help with household expenses. Make up for anything the family is missing."

I was planning to buy you and Xiaoyu two outfits today, but I'm worried the sizes won't be right.

This money should be spent; don't be stingy with it.

From now on, I'll be in charge of earning money, and you guys will be in charge of spending it.

Liu Yunjuan waved her hands repeatedly, "I have clothes to wear, why would I need to spend money on new ones?"

Lu Fengnian added, "Mother, look at you. You wear the same clothes all year round, and they've been patched countless times. It's time to change them."

Don't worry about the money. Your son is capable of earning money and can support you all.

At this point, he turned his gaze to Lu Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu is a young woman now, she can't always wear tattered clothes, she should dress up when it's time to dress up."
