Mortal Mirror

Fortunately, Li Ergou was thick-skinned, and with Bai Xiang's guidance along the way, Li Ergou recovered quickly. After all, wealth is something you don't bring with you when you're born and can't take with you when you die. As long as you're happy and carefree, it's not worth getting upset over money.

Most importantly, he had copied a Dragon Slaying Blade himself, so it wasn't a complete loss. Otherwise, he would have been furious.

So, as soon as he got home, Li Ergou threw all his worries to the wind.

Back home, Li Ergou, Bai Xiang, and Mei'er immediately started busying themselves. Before it got dark, the two of them put up Spring Festival couplets and hung up the calendar in front of the gate. Before long, the Ku Shan courtyard had a festive atmosphere.

Once the red lanterns were hung up, the atmosphere immediately improved.

Li Ergou took out pork, mutton, and some turtle meat and stewed and grilled them together. The aroma immediately filled the air.

Bai Xiang specially went to Tiangou Town to buy Forget-Worry Wine. The two of them ate meat and drank wine heartily, enjoying themselves immensely. Mei'er also accompanied them, feeling very happy.

Bai Xiang also told Li Ergou about the things happening in Tiangou Town. Wu Shenxian still missed Ergou quite a bit, saying that he might be leaving soon.

Lu Changsheng also said that Ergou should go back when he had time. After the New Year, Li Zheng'an would also be taking him away, seemingly to one of the four giant cities.

Haotian Martial Arts School is now the most powerful martial arts school in Tiangou Town. Long Wu of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts School has also calmed down, no longer causing trouble, and has taken in many disciples.

Niu Dali has traveled far away, reportedly seeking refuge with some distant relatives, seeking the path of martial arts.

As for Liu Dachui, this guy has become the mainstay of the martial arts school and has now been promoted to deputy master.

As for Zhu Daqiang, he's living comfortably, carefree. He spends his time at the Hundred Flowers House, not caring much about the martial arts school. Everyone says he's made enough money, seen through the affairs of the world, and just wants to live a good life in his remaining years.

Moreover, he has sealed his fists, saying that he will never accept anyone's challenge again. He's very slippery, always afraid of ruining his reputation in his old age.

Bai Xiang told Li Ergou many interesting things about Tiangou Town, and Li Ergou listened with great interest.

The two were chatting happily when they saw someone approaching in the distance, saying as they walked, "Look at the adult's residence, it's really domineering. Such a large piece of land, I don't know how much it cost."

Another voice said, "It doesn't matter. The adult's family poops money. This little bit of money is just a drop in the bucket."

In a blink of an eye, Li Ergou saw the faces of two people under the lantern, precisely Lu Yun and Zhang Long.

Li Ergou was naturally very happy to see the two of them and invited them over to drink and eat meat. It turned out that these two were just here to freeload. Li Ergou introduced them to Bai Xiang, and everyone quickly became acquainted and familiar with each other.

Before they could even take a few sips, they saw Haoren Da and Shage coming together, bringing a lot of good wine and dishes. Behind the two of them were actually three people, Wang San, Zhang Kui, and Zhao Si, all holding food and drinks in their hands.

Li Ergou sighed inwardly, not expecting these guys to have come as if they had made an appointment. However, Li Ergou wasn't afraid of having too many people.

Seeing so many people coming, he was overjoyed. He and Bai Xiang killed two more second-generation chickens, one stewed and one grilled, and everyone ate with greasy mouths, feeling very happy.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank until the middle of the night before dispersing. After the mess was cleared, it still took Mei'er a long time to clean up. That's why they say a family still needs a woman, at least to make things easier and take away the worries.

Nothing happened overnight. The next day, Li Ergou woke up before dawn. This was probably a habit he had developed over many years.

He washed his face with cold water, and his drowsiness immediately disappeared, full of energy.

He stood outside for a while, practicing his stances and punches, and then it dawned.

Today is New Year's Eve, the biggest festival of the year. What's gratifying is that the weather is clear today, which is very good.

Li Ergou immediately called Bai Xiang and asked him to go to Daliugou with him. Last night, seeing so many people coming, he was not only happy but also thought of a relative, yes, his second uncle.

In any case, he is now his only relative. While he has time now, he might as well go and see him. He also plans to bring Xiwa back with him. He once promised him that he would definitely take him out of the small mountain village, so naturally he can't go back on his word.

Besides, Li Ergou is closer to Xiwa. In this way, he has a reason to go to Daliugou.

Unfortunately, Mei'er didn't want to go, insisting on staying at home to accompany Black Cat and Black Beard, as well as the chickens and sheep. Li Ergou naturally wouldn't say much. Perhaps there is no concept of New Year in the world of demons.

Li Ergou borrowed two Moon Rabbit horses from the yamen and, with Bai Xiang, whipped them on, arriving at Daliugou in just over an hour. What puzzled Li Ergou was that the appearance of his second uncle's house hadn't changed at all.

He sighed inwardly and pushed the door open. His second uncle's family was eating, and it could be seen that even during the New Year, the family was eating potatoes and wild vegetables.

Li Ergou couldn't help but say when he saw this scene, "Second Uncle, did you spend all the money I gave you last time so quickly?"

Second Uncle immediately felt ashamed and didn't speak. Second Aunt's face didn't look too good.

The little girl said when she saw Li Ergou asking, "Second Brother Ergou, you're here, that's great. The money you gave Daddy last time, Daddy refused to use it, saying he would save it for you to marry a wife.

It's New Year's, and Nizi wants to eat some meat, but she can't. Nizi really wants to eat the big meat buns from last time."

Li Ergou sighed inwardly, not knowing what to say. He picked up the little girl and said, "Okay, we won't eat this broken stuff anymore, we'll eat big meat buns."

As he said that, his divine sense moved, and in the surprised gazes of everyone, he took out a large plate of big meat buns. The little girl happily picked one up and bit into it.

Second Uncle and Second Aunt were frightened, thinking this was a divine method, and they immediately had a deeper awareness of Li Ergou's abilities.

Li Ergou glanced at the dilapidated house, thinking that he had thought too little. He originally wanted to spend the New Year here, but even cooking was a problem. He could only helplessly say, "Forget it, come with me, and spend the New Year at my place."

In this way, Second Uncle's family followed Li Ergou to Kushui County in a daze. When everyone arrived at Li Ergou's house, they realized how luxurious Li Ergou's house was. A mountain full of big chickens, sheep like small calves, eggs so big, a huge courtyard, and spacious houses allowed Li Erwa to see Li Ergou's wealth.

Immediately, Li Ergou took out the things he had bought for the New Year. A large pile of things was like a small mountain. Second Uncle's children saw so many good things for the first time and cried with excitement.

At noon, the entire Ku Shan courtyard was very lively. Second Aunt and Mei'er helped out, and Li Ergou and Bai Xiang cooked. They made a dozen good dishes in one breath, and the family ate very comfortably and happily.

In the afternoon, Li Ergou took Second Uncle's family to the city and bought each of them several pieces of clothing, which made them very happy.

In the evening, they bought fireworks and firecrackers. Watching the fireworks all over the sky, Second Uncle's family felt that all of this was a little unreal, as if they were dreaming. They were afraid that the dream would wake up and everything would be gone.
