Chapter 6, exchanging the remaining money on hand for firewood.
Now, he has a two-bedroom apartment with a relatively large yard, and he is also part of the property-owning class. Furthermore, the previous owner left him one hundred taels of silver. One tael of silver is equivalent to 1,000 copper coins. Based on the local purchasing power of 1 copper coin being 0.5 yuan, one hundred taels of silver is approximately worth around 50,000 yuan. For someone like him, who previously had savings of less than ten thousand, this is considered a windfall.
I will also go for a morning exercise later to strengthen my body. This body really feels quite weak
After running just a few laps, Li Si began to feel somewhat exhausted. He then started walking, but after a short while, he could no longer continue and found a stone step to sit down on.
Li Si feels that there is really nothing to do here. If he were on Earth, he could still play on his phone, browse Weibo, or play games. However, there are truly no entertainment activities here
After acknowledging the crowd, Li Si turned around and headed home. With no money in hand, his plan for an extra meal today was dashed. However, there was still some cured meat sent by Butcher Yu at home, so he could prepare a dish with the cured meat to make do.
Upon returning home, Li Si walked to the backyard, first removing his long robe and changing into a more comfortable outfit. He then performed some stretching exercises before starting to run around the backyard
Li Si said no more, directly stuffing the money into the young man's hand, and smilingly said: "I am all alone, this money is of little use to me, but you have family to support, how can you work hard for a day without reward? If it is still not enough, come to my house to collect more"
At this moment, those who had previously witnessed the scene of the zombie roaring, as well as the moment when Li Si decisively severed the zombie's head, immediately gathered around.
Indeed, a scholar resides in the vast and righteous spirit, impervious to malevolent forces
Li Si felt a bit flushed even with his thick skin upon seeing everyone's admiration and praise for him
Li Si then selected good rice, placed it in a bowl, and poured in an appropriate amount of clean water
Looking at the sun, which had already reached noon, Li Si walked to the kitchen door, took down a piece of cured meat, and walked to the large vat. Using a gourd ladle, he scooped up water to wash away the dust from the surface of the cured meat. He then entered the kitchen and used a kitchen knife to slice the cured meat into pieces
It is a pity that the house has some leaks, and someone needs to be found to repair them. However, after some thought, Li Si decided to wait until tomorrow to find someone, as there are many matters to attend to today, and the sun is shining brightly, showing no signs of rain.
"A real man should not adopt the demeanor of a little girl." Li Si laughed and scolded, then cupped his hands in front of everyone and said: "I have matters to attend to, so I will not keep you company. By the way, I have something to inform you all, and I hope everyone can pass the word along. This afternoon at the hour of Shen, I will be giving a lecture at my home. If there are any young children at home, they are welcome to come to my house for enlightenment."
Life is not easy for people in this world; many have exerted great effort just to secure a meal. It is the first time I have encountered someone from a class like Li Si's who understands their struggles.
Fortunately, Lord Li drove away the fox demon and subdued the zombie. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine how many people would have faced misfortune
Enough, enough, thank you. The young man suddenly felt a sense of dying for a confidant, tears welling up in his eyes
Mr. Li is truly a divine being
Li Si pondered slightly in her heart and recalled the previous information, which stated that the contract required 2 points, and now she had also obtained 2 points. This indicates that the soul points from the contract and the soul points obtained from kills are the same.
As soon as the words were spoken, the young man who had previously handed the machete to Li Si stepped forward with a few others and cupped his hands towards Li Si, saying: "Leave this matter to us. We make our living by selling firewood, and we can conveniently use today's firewood to burn this corpse."
As he pondered, it wasn't long before he returned home. He realized that this time, he had actually gained something from the journey, because in his original world, he was also without parents and had grown up in an orphanage. Although he was diligent and often received scholarships, and even took on part-time jobs alongside his studies, he had always had little savings. Most of his money went towards paying tuition fees.
The onlookers immediately began to discuss among themselves, expressing words of astonishment, fear, and admiration.
I did not expect that Sir Li actually possesses the ability to subdue demons
... ...
Wash the pot with water, then pour clean water into the bottom, place the strainer on top of the clean water, and then place the prepared rice and cured meat on the strainer
Thinking of reading, Li Si got up and walked towards a room opposite the bedroom. This room was originally where the original owner's parents lived. After the original owner's parents had an accident, the original owner transformed this room into a study.
The howling head fell down, and immediately the howling ceased. Only a grimacing face was staring at Li Si, glaring at him with malice.
As Li Si sprinkled the chili powder, he felt a sense of relief, grateful that there were chilies in this place. Otherwise, he had no idea how he would get through the days ahead. It is worth noting that in the world he had previously inhabited, chili peppers were only introduced during the late Ming Dynasty. Before that, it was simply impossible to obtain chili peppers.
Defeated a low-level ghost creature - zombie, and gained 2 soul points
Finally, I endured the fatigue and performed some stretching exercises, giving a massage to the few muscles on my body
He has not fully accepted the memories of the original owner, so it is necessary to read books to understand some of the circumstances of this world
Li Si handed him the hatchet, and then took out the remaining twenty-odd copper coins from his sleeve and handed them to the young man, saying: "This money is considered your compensation, as I have bought those firewood."
Therefore, in her spare time, Li Si wanted to teach the local children, indulging her desire to be a teacher
Thus, I could not help but interrupt, saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, this zombie has already been dispelled by me, but there is still a possibility of it reviving. It would be best for us to burn it today. I wonder who among you can assist me in burning this corpse"
After resting for a while, Li Si began to run. After running for a short distance, he started walking again, and then stopped to rest. Once he had rested enough, he continued to run. This cycle repeated, and he ran for nearly one hour. Finally, he could no longer run.
Li Si took out a fire stick, shook it a few times, and a flame emerged. He placed the flame on the rough part of the wooden strip, ignited it, and stuffed it into the stove. Before long, the wood caught fire.
Covering the pot, Li Si took some wood from under the eaves at the kitchen door and brought it into the kitchen, stuffing some wood into the stove while leaving a certain amount of space. He then used an axe to chop a piece of wood into rough strips.
This zombie, which has only recently been resurrected, is quite weak and cannot be compared to a headless ghost. Therefore, even with his frail body, he is still capable of decapitating this zombie.
How can this be, sir? Your kindness in helping us to subdue demons and eliminate evil is already a great favor. We are merely providing some firewood; how could we accept your money
After completing these tasks, Li Si sat down on the steps at the kitchen door
Truly impressive, previously I secretly witnessed Sir Li strike the fox demon away with a single punch, indeed he is accomplished in both literature and martial arts
As for the "special" entertainment activities here, Li Si stated that he is not that kind of person. Well, primarily for the sake of safety. What if Yuanyang has a restraining effect on ghosts? For instance, like using a boy's urine to ward off evil spirits?
Then arrange the cured meat on a plate and sprinkle some finely crushed chili powder on top
It is indeed lonely. Li Si sighed; since coming to this world, he has had no one to talk to. The original owner was also someone who enjoyed reading the classics at home, and had few friends outside. Although he got along well with his neighbors, there were no deep ties of friendship.
