After a long time, Li Mu had a plan.

After all, I can't think of the best solution in a short time. What I have to do now is to become mortal.

Treat yourself as an ordinary person walking in the world, then carefully observe and listen to the voices of all living beings, and then think about what to do.

Then, Li Mu smiled slightly and appeared in a village.

Looking at the golden ears of wheat and the smile on the old farmer's dark skin, Li Mu took the initiative to walk over.

"Old man, is there any land that can be cultivated nearby? I want to rent a few acres."

When the dark-skinned old man heard Li Mu's question, he reluctantly straightened his waist, looked at Li Mu's smooth skin and gorgeous clothes, and said in confusion.

"Which family are you the young master of? What are you renting land for? Are you planning to find someone to help you plant it?"

"No, I plan to farm it myself."

After hearing the old man's question, Li Mu responded with a smile.

"It's really strange. Your clothes and skin don't look like someone who has suffered a lot. You must be a young master from some family. Why do you have to suffer like this? Is your family in ruins?"

The old man became even more confused after hearing Li Mu's words. Looking at Li Mu's gorgeous clothes, although he had never seen this style, he could always guess that it must be worth a lot of money.

He didn't understand why such a young man, who usually looked well-dressed and well-fed, had to work in the fields. Wouldn’t it be better to find a few people to help you plant it?

"Old man, to be honest, I have loved farming since I was a child, but my family has always disagreed. Now that I am an adult, my family can no longer control me. I just want to focus on a piece of land to fulfill my wish."

Li Mu looked at the old man's spirit of breaking the casserole and asking for the truth. He was not angry, but found an excuse.

"That's it, that's it. Well, just go over there. There is a piece of wasteland under the barren mountain. Now the population is withering. There is no need to pay rent for that area. Within three years, you only need to reclaim it and report it to the government. , taxes will start to be paid after three years.”

After receiving Li Mu's explanation, the old man touched the goatee on his chin and nodded.

Then he enthusiastically introduced to Li Mu how to farm here.

"Thank you, old man."

After Li Mu heard what the old man said, he bowed slightly to the old man and then said.

"Well, by the way, are you a local? If not, you have to report to the government first."

"But now that the war is in chaos and the population is sparse, even if you are a refugee, I will be happy to report it to the government and will not make things difficult for you."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

……

Then Li Mu walked to the county town like a mortal, then went to the government to report his identity, and then returned to the barren mountain that the old man mentioned.

Then Li Mu didn't use magic power and started to cultivate the fields with his body alone. As for Li Mu's first job, the old man was very concerned about it. When he saw Li Mu getting ready to start work, he came to give Li Mu a lot of precautions and said he could come to him at any time if he had any questions.

Li Mu responded with a smile. He treated himself as an ordinary mortal and communicated with the old man.

In his spare time after cultivating fields, Li Mu would go to the county town to buy a few jugs of wine and have a drink with the old man, and eat some snacks, living a very comfortable life.

In the blink of an eye, the old man's food had been packed and bagged. Li Mu cultivated ten acres of land.

Seeing that Li Mu had completed the reclamation so quickly and the quality of the reclamation was very good, the old man couldn't help but give Li Mu a thumbs up and praise him.

"Young man, I didn't expect that you still have the talent to do crop work. You are just a little bit less talented than I was when I was young."

"Hey, hey, thanks for the advice, Mr. Huang."

After Li Mu heard the old man's words, he chuckled. His speed was still so fast under deliberate control.

Ordinary mortals would never be able to do this. The old man was just bragging, but he would not expose the other party to avoid embarrassment after winning.

"Young man, I see that you are not too young, and you don't have an aunt around as good as your uncle. I will take advantage of the time after the autumn harvest to build a few thatched houses behind your wasteland."

"Nowadays, the war is in chaos, and there are many boys and girls. A young man like you can definitely find a wife as long as he has a house."

The old man's son went to war and has not come back yet. The old man and his wife are the only two people at home.

The daughter is married. She married far away and could not come back even once in three to five years, so the old man usually treated Li Mu as his descendant and gave advice.

"Okay, let me give it a try."

Just kidding, there is absolutely no way Li Mu will get married. What I said to the old man was just a refusal.

After getting to know each other these days, Li Mu also knew that this village was called Xiaohuangzhuang.

Mainly people with the surname Huang are here, but after the war and chaos, there were many refugees, and now 1/3 of them are people with other surnames.

There are only three to five hundred villagers living in the entire village. The remaining seventy or eighty young men were either sent to the battlefield or were captured and worked as civilian husbands.

The entire village is dominated by the elderly, women and children.

Li Mu plans to build his house at the foot of the mountain, not in contact with the houses of other families in the village.

In order to avoid others misunderstanding, Li Mu deliberately controlled his construction speed. But I didn’t want to live in that kind of adobe house, so I simply fabricated some silver coins out of thin air, replaced it with some blue bricks, and started building it myself.

Li Mu plans to build a small courtyard.

There are four rooms in the square. Sit north and face south. There are about two rooms in the living room and one room in the upper room.

There are three rooms facing east and west. There are three rooms facing east.

To the south is the fence and utility room, as well as a place to keep horses.

Although Li Mu deliberately controlled it, his speed quickly attracted the attention of several villagers. Li Mu had no choice but to explain to them that he had some boxing and kicking skills and was a martial artist, so he was stronger than others and faster than them. Be faster.

After receiving Li Mu's explanation, several villagers nodded with satisfaction. He put away his curious eyes.

Years passed by in a blink of an eye. The old man's son is back, missing an arm. The old man and his wife held their son and cried bitterly.

Li Mu saw the sad look of their family and stepped forward to comfort them. It means that people are lucky to be alive. Said one more thing.

"Blessings come from disasters, misfortunes come from blessings."

He also told the old man a story about a lame young man who became lame when he was drafted into the army and then recovered without any warning. But in the same village, soldiers who were recruited into the army went to the battlefield but never came back.

really. After hearing Li Mu's comfort, the old man's expression gradually softened. The family slowly spent less than a month getting over the previous grief.

The old man's son is already thirty years old. When you were 17 or 18 years old, you were drafted into the army and started working as a civilian husband. After a few years, you went directly to the battlefield. But after so many years, you became a minor official. Now the country directly gives his family a second salary. Ten acres of tax-free land. Valid until his death.
