After waking up, Li Qingshan felt refreshed and full of energy, all the fatigue he had brought back from the grasslands gone.

After detoxifying from the second layer of poison, his physical condition improved again.

The fatigue from the past few days will be gone after a few days of sleep.

He bent his arm and tried it; his muscles immediately tensed, like a fully drawn bow, containing terrifying power.

This is only the second layer of poison. What would it be like if one were to undergo a complete transformation?

Ding ding.

The earthenware pot on the ground started shaking erratically again.

Li Qingshan casually put on a piece of clothing that Zhou Ergou had given him, picked up the earthenware pot from the ground, and carried it to the water vat.

Almost as soon as the lid was opened, the red meat inside sprang up and, with a splash, fell right into the water tank, sending up countless droplets of water.

Hehe.

The red meat had no eyes, no nose, no hands or feet, only a big mouth, swimming around in the tank, trying to chase after Li Qingshan and take a bite.

Finally, Li Qingshan fed it some dried meat, and it calmed down.

Since this piece of immortal flesh was possessed by the tiger's spirit, it has become brutal, and it's unclear what to do with it in the future.

After dealing with the red meat issue, Li Qingshan glanced at Old Zhang on the table. He was currently resting with his eyes closed, looking almost like a piece of wood.

Li Qingshan ignored him, picked up his hoe, and went outside to check on the growth of the crops.

Now he owns fifty acres of farmland, all planted with tobacco leaves, and as far as the eye can see, it is a lush and green expanse.

A dozen or so zombie laborers were busy in the field.

Weeding, carrying water... again and again.

Li Qingshan hadn't farmed in a long time, and was even itching to do so.

He carried the Yin-Yang hoe to the wasteland and began to collect the essence of plants with it.

As the hoe swept across the field, the weeds withered at a visible rate.

When the hoe became so heavy that he could barely lift it, Li Qingshan returned to the tobacco field and released the essence of the plants into the field.

The tobacco leaves, which had been fertilized with hoes, had noticeably grown taller, giving the impression that I was walking ahead while the crops were growing behind me.

During the process, my heart became very calm, and all I could see were the hoe, the field, and the crops in the field.

Li Qingshan even began to become obsessed with this feeling.

Am I just born to be a farmer?

At the end of the Si hour, a person came down the slope. She was riding on the back of a donkey, and a guard was following behind her.

"Boss lady, what are we doing here?" asked the guard with the mustache named Liu Daren.

"It's nothing, just taking a stroll," Qiu Niang said casually.

Liu Daren spat and thought to himself, what's so great about visiting this godforsaken place?

Qiu Niang's idea came to her on a whim; she was out working today when she suddenly thought of this place.

After all, Li Qingshan is also a member of the Li family, and it's unknown whether he's still alive.

If he dies, I can inform the Li family.

It wasn't easy for those who pioneered the land outside the Great Wall to make a living.

Plague, wild beasts, bandits, and bullies... getting involved with any one of these means certain death.

Qiu Niang knew perfectly well that Li Qingshan had been exiled here to be sent to his death.

The bells around the donkey's neck jingled as it slowly climbed the hillside.

Upon seeing the earthen house on the slope, Qiu Niang was immediately taken aback.

She remembered that this place used to be just a dilapidated, collapsed house, but in the blink of an eye it had become a clean and sturdy rammed earth house.

In front of the earthen house are neat rows of farmland, filled with tobacco leaves that are growing well and are lush and green under the autumn sun.

In the fields, many people were still busy, wearing straw hats and robes, covering themselves up completely.

Qiu Niang frowned, looking puzzled: Had she remembered the wrong place?

However, the big locust tree remains unchanged.

"What are you doing here?" A man emerged from the house, carrying a bowl of hot porridge mixed with some animal meat, which smelled delicious.

"Excuse me, is Li Qingshan here... Oh, it's you!" Qiu Niang's mouth opened, and she couldn't close it for a long time.

Li Qingshan recognized her as well, and was even a little worried that she might see through his disguise as the Huangquan peddler that day.

For a moment, both of them looked a little awkward.

Qiu Niang hadn't expected that he was still alive, and it seemed that he was doing quite well.

"Is there any water here? Let me get a bowl of water to drink," Liu Daren's words broke the silence.

"The water tank is inside the house."

Liu Daren instinctively walked into the house.

Li Qingshan suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "No!"

"What's wrong with that?"

"I said no, so you can't. There's no water here, you'd better go somewhere else." Li Qingshan blocked the doorway. If this burly man were to enter the house, he would be scared to death.

Liu Daren was a head taller than Li Qingshan, and relying on his height and strength, he didn't take him seriously at all.

He pushed her away, saying dismissively, "Can't I even drink your saliva..."

When his hand touched Li Qingshan's shoulder, it felt like touching a stone. Li Qingshan reacted instinctively. With just a light touch, Liu Daren felt a tremendous force, and he took two steps back before falling to the ground.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Li Qingshan quickly bent down to help him up. Liu Daren instinctively struggled, but his arm was held in Li Qingshan's hand as if it were clamped, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

"This..." Liu Daren was a little confused; something was clearly wrong.

His expression as he looked at Li Qingshan suddenly became serious.

Li Qingshan had calmed down by now and casually asked Qiu Niang, "What brings you to the area outside the Great Wall?"

"A major event has occurred beyond the Great Wall, you probably don't know yet, do you?" Qiu Niang said, "Our people of Da Yan have acquired the Great Aru of the grasslands!"

"What big Aru?" Li Qingshan was a little confused.

"It's the autumn hunting festival on the grasslands. The winner is the warrior of the grasslands, known as Da Aru. This time, someone from our Dayan also participated and actually defeated the barbarians, winning the championship. I heard that this person is also a pioneer, named Zhang Ada..." Qiu Niang said, "Now it's incredibly lively inside and outside the pass, everyone is rushing out of the city to see. Of course, it's normal that you didn't hear it since you're here alone."

"Oh..." Li Qingshan said casually. At the time, he was only focused on avoiding danger and was truly unaware of what happened afterward.

"Would you like to come with us and see that the imperial court has appointed him to an official position, and that he will be wearing a red flower and riding a fine horse through the streets?"

"I'll pass; farming is more important." Li Qingshan wasn't that close to Qiu Niang, and besides, he wasn't interested in showing off.

"Alright then." Qiu Niang was just being polite and didn't really intend to invite Li Qingshan.

"Is nothing wrong at home?" Li Qingshan asked.

Qiu Niang, who had just mounted the donkey, paused for a moment, then said, "No."

She rode her donkey down the slope, and just then, a man came down the slope and walked towards her.

This person was handsome, and although she was a woman, she was dressed as a man. She rode a magnificent horse, entirely black except for a white spot on its forehead, which made her look exceptionally dashing.

Huh?

Qiu Niang was puzzled. Could this pretty woman also be looking for Li Qingshan?

Thinking of this, she stopped walking and instead followed them again.
