According to Zhao Guang's explanation, the demons would usually run amok in the lower regions.
The higher-ups would give out missions and rewards.
Li Dao had helped them kill the demon and they had taken the credit. Naturally, they could not take the bounty.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Li Dao didn't refuse. Every inch of land in Jinling Prefecture was worth a fortune.
When he went to settle down in Jinling Prefecture, he would also need some money to buy property.
"Then we won't disturb you anymore."
Seeing that Li Dao had accepted it, Zhao Guang and the others cupped their hands and left.
The entire Pingan County needed them to maintain law and order, so they were naturally busy on weekdays.
Seeing this, Li Dao did not force her to stay. After all, there was nothing to stay for.
After Zhao Guang and the others left, Xu Yue 'er came out of the house.
"What's this? It can't be another gift, right?”
Xu Yue 'er stared at the box in Li Dao's hand.
"No, I recently went out to earn some extra money. This is my reward.”
Li Dao handed the box to Xu Yue 'er.
Reward?
Xu Yue 'er opened the box and was instantly dazzled by the silver inside.
This was almost a few hundred taels of silver. She had never seen so much money in decades.
Great Qin's prices were not high, and most people would usually pay with copper coins.
Silver was usually only used to buy some luxury items.
Just these few hundred taels of silver was enough for an ordinary person to spend their entire life.
"What kind of extra income is that?"
Xu Yue 'er did not let down her usual gentleness and her attitude became unusually tough.
However, the area around her eyes became red.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry. I'm doing this for our future.”
Seeing this, Li Dao quickly went forward to comfort her.
"In the future? Although we can't compare to those rich and noble families, we can still make ends meet. The things your friend sent us last time are enough for our daily expenses in the future.”
"Why do you still want to do those dangerous things?”
Xu Yue 'er sounded aggrieved, thinking that she had mistreated Li Dao.
"That's not what I meant."
Li Dao suddenly pulled Xu Yue 'er in front of him and said seriously," Sister-in-law, do you want to be separated from me in the future?”
Split up?
Xu Yue 'er looked confused when she heard this. Then, she felt a pain in her heart.
After so many years, the two of them had relied on each other. She could not imagine what life would be like without her little uncle.
She only knew that she was living a blissful life now and wanted to continue living like this.
"No, I'm not. We won't separate."
Xu Yue 'er felt a little shy when she said this.
But this time, she didn't run away. She stood firmly on the spot and looked at Li Dao seriously.
"Since we are not going to separate, then what should I do when I have some achievements in the future and need to leave Pingan County?”
"We won't separate. Wherever Little Uncle goes, I'll go.”
After Xu Yue 'er said this, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Since that's the case, we'll have to find a new home from time to time when we leave Pingan County and go somewhere else.”
"Of course. Without a home, we become refugees.”
Xu Yue 'er felt a chill down her spine when she thought of her days as a refugee.
That was definitely the biggest nightmare of her life.
If you cannibalize each other, people's lives will be like ants, and they will not see tomorrow.
That dark human nature terrified her.
"So, I prepared this money so that we can have a new home in the future.”
Seeing this, Li Dao knew that it was about time.
At this point, Xu Yue 'er's emotions gradually recovered.
"But…But I can't let you take the risk.”
"If something happens to you, what's the use of having this house?”
Xu Yue 'er raised her head stubbornly.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"Who wouldn't have an accident? Don't think that I don't know anything. Sun De from that night, the concubine of the Xu family."
Xu Yue 'er clearly knew what Li Daodao was up against.
"I'm very strong."
Li Dao raised his fist to show that he was very strong.
Of course, he was also strong.
"No matter how strong you are, you're still a mortal. How can you compare to those demons and ghosts?”
In Xu Yue 'er's eyes, her little uncle was very powerful.
However, he was just a little stronger. He might not be worried about Li Dao being at a disadvantage when facing ordinary people.
However, no matter how big-hearted she was, she could not imagine facing demons and ghosts.
"It seems that you don't believe me, Sister-in-law.”
"How can I trust you?"
"Alright then."
Li Dao felt that he had to show Xu Yue 'er a part of his strength.
"Sister-in-law, do you see this millstone?”
Li Dao brought Xu Yue 'er to a corner of the courtyard and pointed at a large millstone with a diameter of one meter.
Xu Yue 'er nodded and looked at Li Dao in confusion.
"Then you can watch from now on."
Li Dao stretched out his palm and slapped the millstone.
In the next second, fine patterns appeared on the millstone.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into powder.
"Little Uncle, what are you doing? You broke the millstone. How can I grind beans for you in the future?”
Xu Yue 'er looked at the millstone sadly.
Lee said,
"Forget it. It's fine if it's broken. Anyway, it's impossible to bring it with us when we move in the future.”
Xu Yue 'er looked at the millstone and pouted.
Soon, she pulled Li Dao's right hand and caressed it inch by inch.
"I know what you mean, but you have to promise sister-in-law that you must not disregard your own life.”
Li Dao smiled as he felt her delicate fingers brushing past his fingers.
He grabbed Xu Yue 'er's hand and said seriously," I promise that I'll run away as soon as my life is in danger. I'll come back to you alive."”
"Alright, I'll continue washing the clothes.”
Xu Yue 'er suddenly let go of Li Dao's hand, turned around, and walked away calmly.
However, her red ears and pink neck made it clear that she was not as calm as she looked.
"Also, Sister-in-law will take care of this money for you first. When you move to a new house, Sister-in-law will find you a good wife so that you can calm down.”
After saying that, he didn't care whether Li Daotong agreed or not and carried the money box into the house.
"As expected, whether it's modern or ancient times, there's no escaping the urge to get married.”
Li Dao muttered to himself.
However, he had to find his wife himself.
At the very least, she had to be as beautiful and virtuous as her sister-in-law. Otherwise, she would definitely not want it.
......
A few days passed.
Pingan County was peaceful these days, and Zhao Guang didn't bother Li Dao.
"Little Uncle, are you done packing? It's time to go out.”
Xu Yue 'er stood outside Li Dao's room, dressed neatly.
Soon, the door opened and Li Dao walked out leisurely.
"I don't know what to say about you. Your clothes are so messy every time you go out.”
Xu Yue 'er complained as she looked at Li Dao's messy collar. She then habitually went forward to tidy it up.
On the other hand, Li Dao didn't look guilty at all.
On the contrary, he seemed to be enjoying it.
"Next time, next time."
Li Dao blurted out habitually.
"I wonder if it's the next time."
Xu Yue 'er rolled her eyes at him. The unnatural charm she exuded made Li Dao's heart beat faster.
"Alright, let's go."
After packing up, Xu Yue 'er stuffed a basket into Li Dao's hands.
Under a pair of white cloth, there were some paper treasures.
This was because today was the day of Li Dao's parents 'memorial service.
