Water Ghost, God Hunter, Immortal Healer, and the Great Xia's Number One Martial Saint!

"What's wrong, Zhang Cui?"

Seeing Zhang Cui pulling him towards the study, Li Xingdao asked with a smile, then added with a grin, "Do you want me? Don't rush, let me rest for a couple of days first. Working in the brick kiln is too tiring."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely give it to you."

Upon hearing Li Xingdao's words, Zhang Cui smiled gently and spoke to him obediently. Her eyes softly met Li Xingdao's, and seeing his smiling expression, she continued with a smile:

"I just want to ask you, what did Li Nao say to you? Why is Li Xiaohua always so close to you?"

"They didn't say much, just told me to rest for a couple of days, let Xiaohua go fishing with me, and then get back to work."

Li Xingdao looked at Zhang Cui with some surprise when he heard her words.

"Let Xiaohua go fishing with you."

Zhang Cui frowned upon hearing this, looked at Li Xingdao as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, finally sighed, thought for a moment, pursed her lips, and looked at him before speaking:

"This time, the profits from the brick kiln were distributed to Li Lai. He was given ten taels of silver. When you have nothing to do, come with me to the city. We'll buy some salt and oil, and also get a new shovel and a new hoe."

Oil, salt, and ironware were all precious items; you could only buy them if you went to the city.

"Okay, then I'll go with you tomorrow."

Hearing Zhang Cui's words, Li Xingdao was not surprised. On the contrary, thinking about his job change, he was a little eager and spoke with a smile.

After reaching level 5 in a basic profession, you can change jobs. Will the job requirements after changing jobs involve some highly difficult technical jobs?

If you need to obtain information related to these technical jobs, you definitely need to go into the city.

Peach Blossom Village and the surrounding villages are all farms; some people farm and others make bricks, but there are no blacksmiths or weavers.

These more valuable businesses often only appear in the city.

Even when buying salt, one could only rely on luck to encounter a peddler carrying goods in the village to buy some coarse salt, but there was no refined salt.

Judging from Zhang Cui's words, the brick kiln's profit distribution this time seems to be quite good. Obviously, she plans to go to the city to buy some fine salt, refined salt, and better lard.

During busy farming seasons, if the food lacks salt and oil, one will certainly lack energy, so these are naturally necessary.

Furthermore, the importance of a new shovel and a new hoe is self-evident.

Without these useful new tools, how can we do farm work better?

"Okay, then eat well and eat more. Don't tire yourself out while fishing this afternoon, come back early to sleep and rest. I'll go to the city with you tomorrow."

Hearing Li Xingdao's words, Zhang Cui smiled gently, took a thin rope and tidied his hair, her lips curving slightly as she spoke softly:

"The food is ready and laid out in the main room. Wash your hands and face. I'll take care of cleaning the fish. Go and eat."

"Okay."

Upon hearing Zhang Cui's words, Li Xingdao smiled broadly and then happily went to the main room for lunch.

After dinner, under Li Lai's somewhat curious gaze, he stretched his body, turned around and went back to the inner room to sleep comfortably.

"It seems he's really exhausted, otherwise he wouldn't have left Zhang Cui untouched."

Seeing Li Xingdao go back to the inner room to sleep, Li Lai muttered to himself. Then, thinking about the matter of cutting down 20 trees a day for 15 consecutive days, he couldn't help but shake his head.

With such a high workload, even an ox would be exhausted and its bones would ache.

Thinking of this, Li Lai chuckled again and went back to his room to rest, leaving Zhang Cui to clean up the dishes and prepare the fish.

Li Xingdao lay in bed and took a nap.

When he woke up, he smelled a pleasant fragrance in the air beside him.

He opened his eyes and saw Li Xiaohua smiling broadly beside his bed, looking at him: "Brother Xingdao, you're awake. I've come to find you for fishing."

Seeing Li Xingdao wake up, Li Xiaohua brought her soft cheek close to his face and spoke with a smile.

"Okay, get up."

Seeing this, Li Xingdao couldn't sleep anymore. He immediately grinned and kissed her. Li Xiaohua's cheeks flushed, and then Li Xingdao pulled her soft body up and kissed her passionately.

Li Xiaohua, her cheeks flushed, only managed to wriggle out of his arms when she heard footsteps outside.

She straightened her clothes, bowed her head and said, "I'll wait for you outside," before hurriedly leaving the inner room.

Li Xing then sat up with a grin, and followed Li Xiaohua, carrying fishing rods and baskets, towards Dongtang.

As he was leaving, he noticed that Zhang Cui looked somewhat troubled as she watched him leave with Li Xiaohua.

Is Zhang Cui jealous?

Seeing Zhang Cui's reaction, Li Xingdao raised his eyebrows, his heart stirring, but he didn't think much of it. Instead, he chuckled and went fishing with Li Xiaohua by the East Pond, where they fished for the entire afternoon.

It wasn't until dusk that he gave half of the fish to Li Xiaohua, letting her carry it, while he carried the other half himself, and returned to Li Lai's house with a smile.

Upon seeing Li Xingdao return, Zhang Cui immediately helped him unload the fish basket from his back, told him to wash his hands and eat, and then picked fish herself.

When Li Xingdao went to eat, he found that Li Lai had already finished eating, and only his and Zhang Cui's portions remained untouched. Without being polite, he grabbed his own portion and wolfed it down.

After finishing his meal, he patted his stomach contentedly, got up and stretched for a while, helped Zhang Cui with some chores, then took a shower and fell fast asleep in bed.

Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Zhang Cui also went to bed early after finishing her work.

Until the early hours of the next day.

Before dawn, Li Xingdao was woken up by Zhang Cui, who then made him some breakfast and took him into the city.

…………

"The city is far away; if we don't get there sooner, we won't be able to get there."

After Zhang Cui walked outside the village, she saw that Li Xingdao seemed a little dazed. Fearing that he might be grumpy when he woke up, she gently comforted him.

As she spoke, she pressed her soft body against his, her eyes lowered in a submissive manner:

"Didn't you want me? We came out early, no one saw us, so you should take me..."

As Zhang Cui spoke, she put her hand into Li Xingdao's palm. How could Li Xingdao resist such a move?

"Zhang Cui, you're so kind..."

Li Xingdao's eyes lit up, realizing why Zhang Cui dared to bring him out so early, and he spoke excitedly.

After saying that, he grabbed her body, which was as soft as dough, and began to enjoy her with his hands and mouth.

"Be gentle..."

"..."

Just as dawn broke, Li Xingdao, jokingly pulling the gentle-looking Zhang Cui along, walked happily into the city.

"Xingdao, promise me, if we're ever in danger, you'll protect me, okay?"

As they walked, Zhang Cui held onto Li Xingdao's arm, looked into his eyes with a gentle gaze, and spoke softly.
