Chapter 77 An Unexpected Encounter!
A box full of silver, gleaming white, at a glance it must contain at least a thousand taels!
No wonder Liu He said this was a great harvest.
"Where did it come from?"
"Don't ask anymore, just take it, it's yours."
"Don't be stingy, we have money now!"
Li Yuan chuckled and flicked her forehead. "Tomorrow, I'll take you out for a stroll and some shopping. It's been a long time since we've gone out."
Since the last epidemic, we've stockpiled too much food at home and don't need to go out.
With Liu He at the South Police Station, and the books in the study not to be finished in a short time, I'll just take a break.
...
next day!
As dappled light and shadow appeared in the training room, Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
"call--"
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
My heart is covered with fine lines.
Thump thump thump... With each beat, the fine lines flickered.
"Soon..."
Li Yuan murmured.
Once the fifth-grade refining is completed, the heart will undergo a transformation, and one's strength will reach a new level.
It sank into my mind.
The four characters "Heaven rewards diligence" are much more dazzling than before.
The panel below.
...
[Realm Level: Fifth Grade (Refined)]
[Exercise Method: Health Preservation Exercise (1001/1600)]
...
The progress has exceeded 1,000!
It was another huge improvement, but only one of the eight-hundred-year-old medicinal plants remained.
Depending on the situation... I should be able to reach around 1200 progress points, after which the speed will slow down.
At this moment, Li Yuan had a strong urge to snatch Huang Wei away.
His strength is only at the seventh rank... does he really need to take medicine that takes eight hundred years to produce?
"Ah Yuan..."
As always, Qiu Yun had already arrived outside the training room carrying a basin and a silk handkerchief.
"They're here..."
......
Using official vehicles for private purposes.
After breakfast, Li Yuan took his family in a carriage from the South Police Station to the South District.
The most bustling area in the entire inner city is the South District, which is now considered his territory.
The horse-drawn carriage traveled along the cobblestone streets.
Little Li Jun leaned against the window, his little eyes full of curiosity; this was his first time here.
"Wow...it's much prettier than the outer city."
"Mom, look at that house...it's so tall!"
The little guy pointed excitedly and looked back at Wang Xiulan.
"That's a restaurant!"
Li Yuan smiled and patted his head, "Today your brother is taking you to a restaurant, there's lots of delicious food."
"Really...? Okay!"
Li Jun clapped his hands excitedly, not because the food at home was bad, but because he was curious about the outside world.
"Why spend that money? Let's go home and eat."
Wang Xiulan remains as frugal as ever, even though she is not short of money now, this frugality is ingrained in her bones.
"It's alright, Mother, it didn't cost much money."
Li Yuan smiled.
He's gotten used to it. Even though he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing now, Wang Xiulan still lives a frugal life.
But in his view, the money spent was what truly mattered.
...
All morning.
Li Yuan took his family on a shopping spree.
The clothing shop...everyone bought several sets of clothes.
Even though Wang Xiulan and Qiuyun didn't want it, Li Yuan still forced them to buy it.
As for little Li Jun, he was immediately given a new outfit and was overjoyed.
...
"Ah Yuan, let's not buy it anymore, the carriage is almost full."
The carriage was almost full of food, clothing, and other necessities. Qiu Yun looked at Li Yuan with heartache in her eyes. The money spent in just one morning... was more than she could earn in a year.
That's terrifying.
As for Wang Xiulan, she mentioned it many times.
"OK!"
Li Yuan nodded, and the two women also breathed a sigh of relief. They were used to living in poverty, and suddenly being like this was completely unacceptable.
"Let's go eat!"
"Ah Jun, let's go get something delicious!"
Without giving the two women a chance to speak, he picked up Li Jun and headed towards the restaurant.
Qiu Yun and Wang Xiulan looked at each other.
"Let's go, he's the head of the household!"
Wang Xiulan shook her head helplessly.
.....
The restaurant was the one I went to with Liu He yesterday; the food was quite good.
"Master Yuan, you've arrived!"
The servant boy ran over with a smile from afar. Yesterday, he had seen Liu He's attitude towards him... which was not just as simple as being fellow constables. Therefore, he kept Li Yuan firmly in mind.
"Master Yuan! Is this the young master? He's quite handsome!"
He looked at Li Yuan holding Li Jun, who looked somewhat similar to him, and immediately praised him.
"I'm the younger brother!"
Before Li Yuan could even speak, the little guy became unhappy.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Yuan, we do look a bit alike. It's my fault!"
The servant hurriedly apologized, having originally intended to flatter him, but unexpectedly... it was his younger brother!
At this moment, a hint of anticipation appeared in Qiu Yun's eyes behind her.
"fine!"
Are there any private rooms available?
Li Yuan asked.
"We'll definitely have some for you. Please come upstairs!"
The servant bowed and replied with a smile.
"Let's go upstairs!"
Li Yuan nodded, then looked at the two people behind him, and carried Li Jun upstairs.
Just as they reached the halfway point down the stairs, a richly dressed man came down in front of them, followed by two attendants.
His prominent temples clearly indicate he's a martial artist.
On a narrow staircase, one person must step aside to make way.
The man looked Li Yuan up and down.
Li Yuan was also looking at him.
"It must be Constable Li Yuan from the Southern Police Station, right?"
The man suddenly spoke, and in one sentence he revealed Li Yuan's identity.
This really surprised Li Yuan. Since arriving at the Southern Police Station, he had kept a low profile and had basically never shown his face except for the time he shut down Bailing Pharmacy.
"You recognized me at a glance?"
"This person..."
Looking at the two martial arts followers behind him, their identities are obvious!
But who exactly is it?
Li Yuan didn't know.
"Who are you.....?"
"My name is Yang Pei. I've heard that the Southern Police Station is now headed by Constable Li Yuan, and I've always wanted to meet him, but I've never had the chance. I never expected to meet him here today; it must be fate!"
Yang Pei's words made Li Yuan frown.
He's in charge of the Southern Police Station?!
"The head of the Southern Police Station is Chief Constable Huang Wei!" he said calmly.
"ah--"
"Yes, it's my fault!"
"I misspoke, Officer Li, please don't take it to heart. To express my apology, I'll cover your bill at the restaurant today."
Yang Pei nodded slightly, expressing his apology.
He has the manners of a disciple from a prominent family.
But the more this happened, the more Li Yuan disliked it, and even became quite wary of it.
Yang Pei!
He's the second young master of the Yang family, and his status is much higher than that of a mere constable. For him to take the initiative to apologize to him... well, he just doesn't believe it.
"No need, it's just a meal."
"Just move aside."
Upon hearing this, Yang Pei's expression did not change at all. He simply stepped aside, and the two attendants behind him quickly moved aside as well, seeing their master making way.
"Walk!"
Li Yuan waved to Qiu Yun and Wang Xiulan behind him, signaling them to go up first.
"Then I won't bother you any longer."
Yang Pei nodded again, then went downstairs with two attendants.
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the three leave, his gaze becoming increasingly complex.
"Master Yuan, please!"
The servant wiped the sweat from his brow and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That damned staircase had almost scared him to death. If the two sides had gotten into a fight, they would have been in big trouble.
