"But this time it's just a missing person notice, not an arrest warrant. I heard that if you find the young master, you can get one thousand taels of silver." Uncle Geng laughed as he spoke, and many wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Li Mofu first breathed a sigh of relief, then used his other clean hand to lift the painting. There was a seal on the corner of the painting. He squinted and identified it. It was Lu Mingyun's seal.

It turns out that this missing person notice was posted by Lu Mingyun. It changed from one hundred taels of gold to one thousand taels of silver. I don’t know whether it appreciated or depreciated.

"Your young master should have arrived in the capital, right?" Li Mofu stopped looking at the painting, raised the chicken leg and asked while eating.

Uncle Geng counted the days and said, "It's almost the end of the month now, we should be in the capital."

"Then I won't go out this month. It would be funny if someone took me away to exchange for money." Li Mofu said.

Uncle Geng laughed, "Don't worry, sir, I won't let anyone take you away!"

"..." Li Mofu finally realized what the old man had been laughing about. He was actually happy that Lin Murong could take 1,000 taels of silver.

I give in. One thousand taels counts as...

Well, it’s quite a lot. It just so happens that his small treasury suffered serious losses before, and the money that was stolen when he was in prison will probably not be recovered. Should he discuss it with Lin Murong and split it in half?

"Sir, would you like to take a bath tonight? If you need hot water, I'll go and boil it now." Uncle Geng said, looking at the sky.

Li Mofu nodded, "Yes!"

"Okay!"

The days in the village where people cannot go out are very repetitive and leisurely. In addition to reading, Li Mofu also likes to listen to the birds singing outside. Occasionally, there are women who come to pick vegetables and gossip while working, and Li Mofu likes to eavesdrop.

If he could show his face, Li Mofu would probably like to go to the second floor to look into the distance, look at the wheat fields, look at the distant mountains, and stare at the people walking from near to far to work in the fields.

It looks like a scroll painting, and the little people in the painting can talk and move, which is very interesting.

The big orange cat has gained weight these days. After all, how can he not gain weight when he is fed with good food and drinks? However, he has become more and more naughty. Although he is still very smart as before, he has not made those human-like movements like "nodding" anymore.

Sometimes when Li Mofu held Daju, he would stare into its eyes. Daju would look at him for a while and then look away.

Thinking back to the nights when he ran around the palace with Daju, Li Mofu always felt like he was dreaming.

You may even feel that it is just a fantasy before you die, and your current life is fake.

At such times, Li Mofu would go to cook meat for Daju. When he felt the pain from being burned by the firewood, he would know whether he was dreaming or not.

In mid-October, the weather was getting colder and colder. Li Mofu strongly requested Uncle Geng to buy him a thick cloak, but Uncle Geng didn't have so much money, so he took an old one from his master's luggage and asked Li Mofu to make do with it.

Li Mofu thought it was okay and didn't care about the old or the new.

"dong dong dong"

Hearing the sound, Li Mofu, who was sitting on the stone bench in the backyard, looked back curiously. Uncle Geng usually went in and out directly, but Lin Murong would knock on the door to signal.

Sure enough, it was Lin Murong standing under the eaves, and he smiled at Li Mofu.

"You're back? Pretty quick." Li Mofu said.

Lin Murong blinked, his expression a little unnatural, but it quickly disappeared. He smiled again and sat down opposite Li Mofu. "How have you been lately?"

"It's pretty good. How about you? How was your trip to the capital? How is the capital now?" Li Mofu asked, touching the big orange who was sleeping in his arms.

"The capital is very peaceful now, but His Majesty is ill, and the Second Prince is now acting as the governor of the country." Lin Murong said softly.

Li Mofu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "The emperor is ill? Then, is there anything else happening?"

"...There's nothing serious going on, but don't you even ask why I'm the only one back?" Lin Murong asked with a wry smile.
