After hoarding billions of goods and traveling through the book, he farmed in another world to suppo

With Xiao Li's mental power, he could hear everything that happened on the city wall.

I have to say that Ma Xiao's staying did play a significant role at this time.

Even though he didn't have Ma Xiao's connections, he had other ways to get into the city, but it was always better to save trouble.

Not long after, the sound of the city gate opening was heard, and the victims who were staring at Xiao Li and his group almost instantly turned their eyes to that side.

Obviously, going into the city would be more tempting to them than targeting Xiao Li and his group.

But unfortunately, many times it is not possible for them to do as they wish.

Yu Qingshan shook his head and sighed, "You're responsible for your own actions."

"You pity them?" Xiao Li glanced to the side without any emotion. "I thought you were about the same as me."

After seeing such a tragic scene, how could he be moved by a few people? He wouldn't be.

Yu Qingshan's mouth twitched slightly, "Young Master Xiao, you worry too much. Even I haven't experienced what you have experienced."

Even if it was just a quick glimpse, it was enough to shock Yu Qingshan about that world.

The devastated scene was even more difficult to accept than anything he had experienced.

Xiao Li did not comment on this and drove the carriage forward under the escort of Chu Huaiqing's men.

As they moved, those victims who did not queue up to receive porridge also started to move.

However, as soon as they moved, the officers and soldiers at the city gate began to draw their swords, "Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy!"

Hearing this, those people stopped hesitantly, but did not want to miss the opportunity.

One of them, with a sly look in his eyes, knelt down in the direction of Xiao Li and kowtowed. "Please, sir, please be kind and take me in with you! Even if I have to work like a slave, I will repay your kindness!"

Those who stayed behind were all people with evil intentions. Even in good years, most of them were idle and thieves, and they all reacted quickly.

Not to mention that after someone took the lead, people followed suit and knelt down one after another.

"Please, sir, take me with you!"

"Young Master, I'm tall and strong. I have plenty of strength. Not only can I guard the house, I can also carry heavy things. I can do any work you have at home!"

"Look at me, sir. I'm not bad either. If you're willing to take me into the city, I'll sell myself as a slave. As long as I have something to eat, that's all I need."

"Son..."

If a young man who has not experienced the world were here, he might be soft-hearted.

But the one here at the moment is Xiao Li. He has experienced everything, even death. His heart is usually colder than anyone else's.

However, seeing that he remained indifferent no matter what they said, those people changed their expressions and started cursing.

"You little scoundrel, you only have a few bucks and rely on those soldiers to help you. Otherwise, we would have killed you long ago!"

"You'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise I will make you regret what you did today! Even if you kneel down and lick my shit and piss, I won't let you go!"

"Why waste so much time talking to him? There are so many of us, let's charge in together. Even if they have knives, what can they do? We're dying anyway, so we might as well fight. Maybe there'll be a way out!"

"That's right, brothers. Let's fight together. We have more people and more power. Who knows, those officers and soldiers might not dare to kill us."

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Come on!"

"rush!"

The incident happened almost in an instant, and soon everyone started rushing towards the city.

Some of them were coming for Xiao Li and his group, but before they could get close to Xiao Li's carriage, they were killed by Chu Huaiqing's men with their swords.

The air was soon filled with a strong smell of blood. Yu Qingshan closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Wulian Tianzun."

Xiao Li, who was standing next to him, had a blank expression on his face, but something flashed across his dark eyes.

This group of people are a nuisance whether they stay outside the city or are allowed into the city. He is not a good person, but he did what he could conveniently do.

After those people fell into madness, Xiao Li retracted his psychic powers, leaned against the carriage and watched the one-sided massacre coldly.

A quarter of an hour later, all those who tried to force their way into the city were killed without a single one left.

Not long after, Chu Yang rushed back after hearing the news. He was relieved to see that Xiao Li was fine and looked the same as usual.

Although his cousin had told him before coming that they didn't need to worry about Young Master Xiao, when the time came, he still couldn't be completely at ease until he had seen the other party's abilities with his own eyes.

Along the way, he roughly realized that Mr. Xiao was a person who didn't like trouble, so after confirming that the other party was fine, he listened to his brothers report what had just happened.

After learning the whole story, Chu Yang stared at the corpses in silence for a while, then shook his head and looked away, "You're courting death."

It was obvious that the young master had sent people to provide alms, and when he was there he also told the victims what the young master had instructed. Basically all the victims were comforted and had hope of continuing to survive, instead of thinking about waiting to die or becoming bandits.

Those who died did not go there to queue up for porridge, and therefore missed what he just said.

But in the final analysis, it is their own fault. If they had no ill intentions, they would not have died here.

Although Chu Yang still felt that he was a good person, he did not sympathize with such people.

After dealing with that group of people, Chu Yang went into the city with Xiao Li.

Ma Xiaoben had been waiting at the city gate. If there was a fight outside and he could not help, he would have rushed out long ago.

As soon as those people died, he immediately ran towards Xiao Li, "Master, I'm glad to see you again!"

Although he had become a little darker and thinner, and was now able to stand on his own, in front of Xiao Li and Shen Congzhou, Ma Xiao still looked like he was waiting for them to make the decision.

Xiao Li did not get off the carriage. He sat on the driver's seat and nodded slightly. He patted his shoulder condescendingly and said lightly, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll ask Shen Congzhou to give you an extra year's salary later."

From the day they arrived in Beijing, Ma Xiao became the shopkeeper of the Nan'an Bookstore, and his monthly salary was ten taels.

In addition, there is an additional year-end bonus every year, and extra monthly wages will be given on some special holidays. Adding up all the miscellaneous money, it may be around 150 to 200 taels a year.

After saying that, Xiao Li thought about the fact that it was a disaster year, paused, and then changed his words: "Let Mr. Shen pay for three more years. He has worked hard these past two years."

Today's prices are many times higher than usual. In previous years, two hundred taels of silver might have been a lot of money, and the villagers could save a little and it would last a lifetime.

But in years of disaster, two hundred taels might not be worth as much as a few kilograms of grain, and even if you offered two hundred taels to exchange for grain, there might not be anyone willing to give it to you.

If it was given to the group of refugees not far away, no matter who it was given to, they might be indifferent. But Ma Xiao would not have to worry about food and drink for the time being, at least not in the next two years. At most, it would be a little dirty and smelly. Therefore, even if the silver was of no use to him now, he could use it after the disaster was over, right?

When Xiao Li first mentioned giving him an extra year's salary, Ma Xiao was already incredibly excited. When he heard him mention giving him an extra three years' salary, he was so excited that he stuttered. "Thank you so much, sir. I will definitely take care of your affairs and not worry you."

In the past few years, he has been in charge not only of the Nan'an Bookstore but also of the Xiao residence.

"Yeah." Xiao Li didn't like to make empty promises, so after answering, he asked him to talk about the situation in Yangliu Village. "Tell me about the situation in Yangliu Village. Did anything happen later?"

Seeing that the two of them had something to say, Yu Qingshan went to Shen Congzhou's side and gave up his place.

Xiao Li glanced at the seat and said, "Sit down and talk."

"Yes, sir," Ma Xiao replied, and after sitting on the driver's seat, he consciously took the whip from him. "Nothing happened in Yangliu Village afterwards. It was just that Erzhuzi from Xiao Laofu's family was injured a while ago and almost died. Fortunately, the pills you sent back earlier saved him from the brink of death."

Thinking of that young man, Ma Xiao couldn't help but show some admiration. "He is a good man. After knowing that it was your medicine that saved his life, he insisted on coming to the Xiao residence to work. He said that he would thank you in person when you come back!"

In the past few years, Xiao Li has met neither many nor few people. He does not deliberately remember many people unless it is absolutely necessary.

But with his current mental strength, even if a long time has passed, as long as he thinks back, he can dig up the memories related to someone.

Almost in the blink of an eye, an honest and simple young man appeared in his mind.

Erzhuzi is a few years younger than him. When they were in Yangliu Village, everyone called him Fourth Brother Xiao. On the day when his father moved, it was Erzhuzi who drove the ox cart for them.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Xiao Li didn't have much desire to see old friends, "Yeah."

In fact, Ma Xiao had not spent much time with him, but he had heard some things about him from Mr. Shen, so he had some understanding of him.

Seeing that Xiao Li's reaction was indifferent, he did not continue to talk about Erzhuzi, but instead talked about what happened in Yangliu Village before, and the subsequent developments that were not mentioned in the letter.

Because there are people patrolling day and night, the bandits will be discovered quickly when they come again. They haven't been seen in the past half month.

Because several families live together in the village, all kinds of messy things have happened.

Smaller issues include quarrels over trivial matters, while bigger issues include more people living together, and young men and young women may quickly fall in love with each other. Recently, several families in the village have arranged marriages for their children because of this.

But after all, we are all from the same village. Even if there are some conflicts when living together, when facing external threats, everyone is still united and there is no betrayal.

Finally, Ma Xiao looked at him hesitantly, his brows furrowed, and he looked very conflicted.

Xiao Li wasn't someone who was overly curious, but he kept asking questions like this, which aroused some curiosity. "Anything else?"

Caught off guard by the question, Ma Xiao uttered an "ah" before nodding and saying, "It's about the young master's parents..."

While speaking, Ma Xiao glanced at Xiao Li from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that he was not angry, he continued, "They know that the young master has done a favor to remind the villagers, so they take advantage of this and take advantage of others every now and then.

Everyone didn't bother with them much for the sake of the young master, but if this continues, I'm worried that everyone will resent the young master."

He himself is from the village and has seen too many similar things.

Hearing this, Xiao Li's expression did not change at all. "Remind the villagers that I have broken off my relationship."

He answered without any hesitation. This was a possibility Ma Xiao had not thought of. He was stunned for a moment before he said respectfully in his heart, "Yes, sir."

After entering the city, Xiao Li returned to the carriage and brought her husband and children out of the space.

The two little guys fell asleep, and Lu Yuan was watching them beside them. He was not surprised when they suddenly changed their position.

It would have been fine if there were only air conditioning and fans in the space, but it suddenly got hot outside, and he was about to find a fan to fan the child when a cool breeze suddenly blew on his face.

Xiao Li fanned the three of them with a fan, "We're almost at the house, Yuan'er, do you want to take a nap?"

Lu Yuan shook her head, worry evident on her delicate and beautiful face. "I don't know what's going on in the village."

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong in the village." Xiao Li told him what Ma Xiao had just said, "But if we go back to the village, I'm afraid it won't be a good idea to stay overnight."

"It's okay." Lu Yuan just wanted to see the place in her memory. It would be nice if she could stay longer, but it didn't matter if she couldn't. "Husband, you don't have to worry about me."

"Yeah, don't worry." Xiao Li ruffled his hair with his free hand and looked at him lovingly, "Our Yuan'er has never been a worry for me. She is the most sensible little husband."

"You're trying to trick me again!" Lu Yuan glared at him, "Be careful what you say here, it would be bad if someone found out."

It’s mainly bad for Xiao Li.

As the person involved, Xiao Li didn't really care about it, but Lu Yuan, who was his partner, cared a lot about it.

A man needs a face, and a tree needs its bark.

Even if he doesn't understand any profound principles, he knows this principle.

Under the increasingly dangerous gaze of his young husband, Xiao Li quickly assured: "Okay, I'll listen to Yuan'er."

That being said, they all knew in their hearts that some things would only happen once.

To put it bluntly, it's a couple's hobby.

While the child was asleep, Lu Yuan lifted the curtain of the small window and looked out.

After taking in the scene outside, he couldn't help but sigh, "This place hasn't changed much. It was just a bustling place before, but now there are hardly any people walking around."

Xiao Li came in from outside, so he naturally knew what the outside looked like, so he just glanced outside casually.

He said "hmm" nonchalantly, "It will pass."
