Learn one small skill every day

Upon hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Bai Miao raised an eyebrow.

The peasant women turned around and saw several young men with brightly colored hair and eyes, wearing tight T-shirts, baseball caps and loafers, walking towards them with their toes pointing outwards. They were immediately terrified.

These are the little brats from the Liu family!

Bai Miao recognized him as the man who had confronted him with a knife the previous night.

"So, has your old man gone to check it out in person yet?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it. Well... the old man asked us to apologize to you. Please don't hold it against us. This is just a small token of his appreciation."

The leader jogged over and handed over a thick red envelope.

Bai Miao weighed it in his hand: "It's alright. Just remember to be on time. I won't be traveling with your group, so you'd better keep that in mind."

"Okay! Thank you, Master!"

As they spoke, the group bowed and thanked them before turning to leave.

But when he turned around and saw the group of peasant women, his expression turned fierce again: "What the hell are you looking at? Look again and I'll pull up all the seedlings in your field! Get out!"

The peasant woman didn't dare say another word, and ran away with her hoe.

Seeing this, Bai's mother pointed at the group and cursed, "You bunch of sons who have no anuses, open your dog eyes and look! This is my son! My good son!"

Bai Miao shook his head and walked towards the door.

"Son, where are you going? Mom will cook for you right away!"

"I'm not eating at home tonight."

The peasant women were incredibly quick-witted; almost instantly, the news that Bai Miao had been called a master by the Liu family had spread throughout the entire village.

The Liu family's reputation resounded for hundreds of miles around. Who was this person who could be called a master?

Bai Miao walked down the street. It was the time when everyone was going home for dinner. Everyone who saw Bai Miao looked at him with a hint of awe and couldn't help but bend down and step aside to let him pass.

Bai Miao's destination was Hu Muyao's house.

The red envelope from the Liu family was indeed a timely help.

Knocking on Hu Muyao's crooked door, Hu Muyao carefully opened it. Upon seeing that the person outside was Bai Miao, he was startled and quickly closed the door.

"Wait, wait, I'm here to apologize."

Bai Miao used his foot to block the door and struggled to persuade Hu Muyao to let him in.

But there was still a wary look in her eyes.

"You, you mustn't do anything rash, I'll call for help."

"Where's your grandma?"

"Don't tell you."

"Oh, it's over here, right?"

Bai Miao used his aura-observation technique to sense that there was a person in a room, and he was about to walk over.

"You, you mustn't upset my grandma."

Hu Muyao tugged at Bai Miao's sleeve, her tone pleading: "They say you're getting married, can you please stop coming to see me?"

Hearing the commotion in the yard, Grandma Hu Muyao, with her frail body, came out of the yard leaning on her cane.

"Grandma, I've come to apologize... I was foolish before, but I'm not foolish anymore."

"Apologize..."

Hu Muyao ran to his grandmother's side, picked up half a bamboo stick from the ground, and kept a close eye on Bai Miao's movements.

Even after seeing Bai Miao take out a red envelope, Hu Muyao remained vigilant.

"This money... if possible, use it to send Hu Muyao to school. Although it's a bit late, he can still graduate eventually."

"Where...where did you get so much money?"

"The money given by the Liu family is considered a gift from me for consulting on feng shui."

Grandma Hu Muyao stood there stunned, never expecting that Bai Miao would actually have the ability to get money from the Liu family.

"No, I can't accept it. You should take it back."

"I apologize, but I won't feel at ease if you don't accept it."

After Bai Miao stuffed the red envelope into Grandma Hu Muyao's hand, he hurriedly ran away, saying, "Don't even think about giving it to my mom. Once the money goes to her, it has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, Bai Miao prepared to leave.

"Bai Miao, stay for a meal. If word gets out, people will think we're kicking you out again."

Just as Bai Miao was about to run out the door, Grandma Hu Muyao called him back, her tone somewhat helpless: "I really don't understand what you're thinking, kid. Why don't you use this money for your own wedding?"

"I already said it was an apology. After this meal, we'll be even."

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Chapter 214 Breaking the Impasse, Awakening

Bai Miao did not refuse and stayed for a simple dinner.

Before leaving, Bai Miao also taught Hu Muyao how to make a simple water purifier.

"Mu Yao, you need to go to school in the future. Only by studying can you know how to make a water purifier like Bai Miao, understand?"

Hu Muyao hesitated for a moment: "I...I don't want to go to school."

"Nonsense, do you think I can't take care of myself?"

Grandma Hu Muyao sighed, "It would be better if you graduated early, found a good job, and brought me to the city."

Whether Hu Muyao ultimately wants to go to school is something Bai Miao cannot be certain of.

But looking at the basin of clear water filtered by the water purifier, Bai Miao realized that this was the first time he had seen his own appearance in a dream.

There wasn't a single mirror in the house, and the water was always murky, making it impossible to see one's reflection.

Only in the large amount of clean water filtered by the water purifier could I see my own reflection.

Let's analyze it psychoanalystically.

A sharp pain shot through Bai Miao's head, but he gritted his teeth and persevered until he saw the spiritual entity appear behind him.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Bai Miao suddenly burst into laughter, making Hu Muyao tense up again.

“It’s nothing. It’s just that finally one family is willing to use my water purifier. My mom thought the charcoal in the water purifier was dirtier when I did this at home.”

Grandma Hu Muyao said with some sympathy, "You've suffered, child."

"It's alright. I'll have more say in things from now on, and I'll ask the village chief to pay more attention to you."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Bai Miao left Hu Muyao's house.

His own spiritual body was summoned.

Bai Miao was in a very pleasant mood at the moment.

This is equivalent to inviting a Taoist master from Longhu Mountain into a supernatural instance.

Ghosts are essentially spiritual entities, possessing some mysterious attributes.

Since the spiritual entity can attack them, and given its formidable strength, Bai Miao is no longer afraid of the Liu family.

However, Bai Miao wouldn't feel comfortable if he didn't personally watch the performance, even though he had worked so hard to build the stage.

Once the date Bai Miao set for the woman and the Liu family arrived, the real show began.

Before dawn, Bai Miao had to rush to the bride's house.

Before a groom can marry his bride, he must go through a series of complicated ceremonies and procedures.

They also have to endure all sorts of difficulties from the woman's family.

However, for Bai Miao now, these are all minor matters; the important thing is to get the wedding procession out on time.

"Groom, if you want to enter our family and find a wife, you'll have to get past us first!"

Outside the bride's room, a group of bridesmaids surrounded Bai Miao, asking for red envelopes.

Bai Miao snapped his fingers, tapped each bridesmaid on the head with his spiritual body, and then swaggered into the room amidst the stunned bridesmaids. He carried the bride, who was wearing a red veil, out and placed her in the sedan chair outside.

Bai Miao was very curious about who the bride in his dream was, but he absolutely could not lift the veil to find out right now.

But Bai Miao was all too familiar with those legs.

One glance at Hearst's legs.

Both the curve of her legs and the whiteness of her skin were just as I remembered.

Hearst didn't utter a single word from beginning to end, seemingly not only a cripple but also a mute.

No wonder she was destined to never get married in her dream.

Of course, Bai Miao felt that Hearst shouldn't have spoken Chinese; Nightmare couldn't design Hearst to speak Chinese.

After the bride got into the sedan chair, the bridesmaids finally came to their senses, seemingly having no idea what had just happened.

"I don't like any noise at my wedding; I just want some peace and quiet. I hope you won't be ungrateful, understand?"

Bai Miao said in a sinister tone, "Otherwise, I'll make you all fools forever."

Bai Miao's threat worked very well; none of the bridesmaids dared to ask for red envelopes anymore.

"The auspicious time has arrived, let's set off."

Bai Miao estimated the time and addressed the team.

Then, drummers and gong players started beating, and the quiet country lane suddenly became lively.

Bai Miao rode a small donkey at the head of the procession, wearing a festive red robe.

The procession scattered red flower petals as it walked.

After walking for about an hour, Bai Miao saw the place he had designated for the Liu family.
