“Don’t be sad, you still have a future...” Li Mu tried to comfort Xiaoqing.

“You’re a fake fortune teller. A’Fei will be back.”

Before Li Mu could reply, Xiaoqing stood up and pointed at Li Mu and cursed furiously. She was crying loudly.

She was no longer the kind and soft girl from a few monts ago. She was now fierce and angry.

“I!” Li Mu didn’t say anything. He had hurt Xiaoqing although he didn’t an to.

The girl holding Xiaoqing looked at Li Mu with sorrow.

She had intended to comfort Xiaoqing with Li Mu’s fortune telling but instead, had hurt her feelings.

She had never seen Xiaoqing like this before.

When Xiaoqing had finished scolding Li Mu, she left the courtyard with the help of the other girl.

The girl helped Xiaoqing muddle out of the courtyard.

Li Mu couldn’t help but sigh with relief.

The breeze ca and felt a little cold.

Li Mu sang in the courtyard, “I can tell the future by looking at the sky. And I have everything under my control. A girl asked whether her husband would co back with a sad face. The dead man couldn’t be back again and she is now alone.” The sound of his sad song went all the way out of the courtyard.

Both inside and outside the courtyard, the green bamboo trembled with the sad song.

In a mont, sadness filled the entirety of Baishan City.

“An expert!”

In the sacred ground of a certain clan, a white-haired old man woke up from cultivation with tears on his face.

Inside the City Lord’s mansion, the City Lord kept wiping his teary eyes. He looked at the sky and seed to be lost in thought

At this mont, street vendors and rchants in the city stopped their work.

In the mountains and forests thousands of miles away, wolves howled in all directions.

The cuckoo bird cried and the old ape wailed.

The whole city was imrsed in sadness on this day.

The roosters didn’t crow and the dogs remained silent.

Many people cried for a whole day for no reason.

“Uncle, what was that you were singing? Can you teach ?” After a long ti, the song stopped.

A’mu went to Li Mu and whispered while wiping his tears

.

He didn’t understand the lyrics and he didn’t know why he was crying, but he knew the song was good!

“You can’t sing this song!” Li Mu said as he touched A’mu’s forehead. A’mu didn’t even flinch.

It was hard to tell why, but A’mu felt very close to Li Mu, even though they had only just t each other. This song seed to be filled with nostalgia and sadness. Li Mu also seed to be a warm and friendly man.

“Why?”

“You are still young and you can’t tell what’s the feeling of sadness, happiness, separation, and reunion! And you don’t know what it felt like to lose sothing or soone important to you. If you did, then you wouldn’t live long.” Li Mu touched A’mu’s head again.

He was still a child and he shouldn’t experience such hardship.

“Okay.” A’mu seed to understand.

“You can sleep in the inner room tonight, I’ll stay in A’mu’s room.”

After a long ti, the girl returned with a sad face and there was still sadness on her cheek.

“No problem!” Li Mu dropped several golden coins on the table and the sound of coins hitting the stone table was heard.

“Sir, what’s this?”

“Compensation for the stay!”

“This is too much!” The girl hastily waved her hand.

“I haven’t finished yet! Apart from the accommodation, the rest is for the al this evening and tomorrow! If there is still money left, then use it to buy lunch tomorrow.”

“Okay then,”

The girl froze for a while, then carefully picked up the gold coins from the stone table and left.

Li Mu sat in the courtyard and looked through it thoroughly.

It was a very small courtyard; only fifty square feet.

There were bamboo trees and wildflowers growing in it. Poor but still attractive.

“Is this how people of Nanzhou live in Zhongzhou?” Tried hard to live peacefully in a disturbing world. Not easy at all.

Li Mu found this place simple and tranquil. If he could check-in here, he might get more luck, so he was willing to live here. It was a totally a different feeling.

Li Mu walked around the courtyard twice and saw A’mu practicing with a wooden sword.

“You like the sword?” Li Mu asked casually.

“Yes! A sword is a sacred object for the people of Nanzhou. Swords can break all evil.” A’mu said.

“Who taught you these words?”

“My sister!”

“What about your parents?”

A’mu suddenly stopped in his tracks and his eyes turned red.

After a long ti, he said, “My father was killed by the people of Zhongzhou, and my mother was captured.”

“I’m sorry, I had no idea.”

“It’s okay! It’s no big deal.”

A’mu picked up the wooden sword again and continued to practice.

The wooden sword sliced the air with a loud sound but A’mu’s moves were clumsy.

Li Mu shook his head gently.

When A’mu was pointing at the ground with the sword tip, he used too much force and the sword dug into the earth.

When the sword was pulled out of the earth, it was full of dust. Li Mu smiled faintly.

“What are you laughing at?”

“I know of a swordsmanship style called Matsukaze Swordsmanship. Would you like to learn it?”

Li Mu asked.

Matsukaze Swordsmanship was obtained by checking in at so sect in Nanzhou.

At that ti, Li Mu had already mastered Beyond Nine Swordsmanship, Killing Thirteen Swordsmanship, and Saint Spirit Sword Techniques, all with sword will.

Learning Matsukaze Swordsmanship was just a waste, so he put it down.

“Matsukaze Swordsmanship?”

“Yes! It’s the most sacred thod of a certain sect.”

“The most sacred one? You’d be willing to teach ?” A’mu couldn’t believe him.

“Why can’t I? You and I are destined. No big deal to teach you such a thod.”

“My sister said no pain, no gain.”

“Your sister isn’t here, right? You can’t even make up your own mind about this little thing?”

Li Mu taught A’mu and chatted with him at the sa ti.

The sword in A’mu’s hand beca agile after Li Mu taught him a few moves.

Soon, Li Mu gained A’mu’s complete trust and A’mu told everything to Li Mu.

Sotis, he didn’t even wait for Li Mu to ask him.

Judging from his moves, he lacked love.

In the cruel Zhongzhou, no one had ever been nice to him. He imdiately let all his guard down as soon as soone treated him nicely.

A’mu’s na was Zhou Mu, and his sister was called Zhou Hua. They depended on each other.

Zhou Hua made a living by farming and washing clothes for the rich families of Nanzhou.

“Then why doesn’t your sister work for the people of Zhongzhou?”

“They don’t deserve it!” A’mu said in a hateful voice.

Li Mu froze.

He forgot that their family had a grudge against the people of Zhongzhou. How could they possibly have any connections with the people of Zhongzhou?

“Once my sister goes to work for the people of Zhongzhou, there is no way that she can go out again. When Brother Fei was starving, the neighborhood aunt had no choice but to go and work for them. She was eventually falsely accused of stealing and was raped to death. Brother Fei was only three years old at the ti. Sir, what does rape an?”

“Is your Brother Fei Xiaoqing’s husband?” Li Mu hurriedly changed the topic.

“Yes!” Then, the courtyard fell into silence again.

“What’s taking your sister so long?” Li Mu suddenly rembered sothing.

“Could sothing have happened to my sister?” A’mu also found that Zhou Hua had been gone for a bit too long.

“You wait in the courtyard, I’ll go check it out.”

Li Mu stepped out and disappeared from the courtyard.

He wouldn’t allow another accident to happen to Zhou Hua. Li Mu quickly searched with his spirit and finally located her.

—

Drunken Flower Parlor. A first-class restaurant in Baishan City.

Here, a table of dishes cost at least one gold coin. The best fierce beast at cost one coin for one plate.

For most of the people in Baishan City, one gold coin was a year’s inco.

But people could only eat a table of dishes with this one coin. Still, the wine wasn’t included.

Li Mu wasn’t surprised about this.

Much famous wine in his previous life would cost a lot, especially a certain kind produced in 1982.

But the wine wasn’t that good

The wine in this world was great.

With thick prenatal qi, only one taste could make people feel in heaven.
