Mortal Mirror

"Second Uncle, you've arrived?"

Li Erwa was instantly excited and nodded quickly, saying, "Yes, yes, Ergou, are you really going to take our whole family to Fish City? Will it have any impact on you?"

Li Ergou understood his second uncle's worries. He had thought it through thoroughly. Orange Mountain had plenty of places to live. His second uncle could help manage the orange grove and the entire mountain.

After all, Meier and Jing'er weren't interested in things like cultivating and planting, which required someone like his second uncle. Most importantly, he trusted his second uncle's character.

Besides, he didn't have many relatives left in the world. His second uncle was his blood relative, and blood was thicker than water. It would at least give him some comfort in terms of family.

Thinking of this, he said to his second uncle, "Second Uncle, to be honest, I bought a mountain in Fish City. You'll be helping me out there. We can look after each other when we're together.

These younger siblings can also learn knowledge in the schools of Fish City, which might change their destiny."

Second Aunt was already overjoyed. Seeing her second uncle still hesitating, she immediately said, "Second Uncle, we must help with this. Ergou, Second Aunt was sorry for you in the past, but you watch, from now on, your Second Uncle and Second Aunt will help you as if you were our own son."

Li Ergou couldn't help but find it amusing. What could he say about this Second Aunt? Was she being opportunistic?

Forget it, Old Mantou was right. When you have ability, everyone around you is a good person, and everyone will treat you well. It's human nature. As long as she's genuinely good to him, what else could he say?

After chatting with his second uncle for a while, Li Ergou began to put all the chickens and sheep into the bronze mirror. He didn't want the things in the house anymore. He planned to leave the courtyard for Dabaixiang, Xiwa, and the people of Wanglong Village to use.

As they were about to leave, Dabaixiang looked at Li Ergou with reluctance and urged, "Ergou, once you get to Fish City, find a way to get me and Xiwa over there as soon as possible."

Li Ergou patted his big belly and said, "Don't worry, it's not like we're parting forever. Why are you so sentimental and melodramatic?"

Xiwa didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of expectation. Watching Li Ergou and the others' figures getting further and further away, he suddenly shouted loudly to them, "Brother Ergou, don't worry, I will work hard, I will definitely become stronger and stronger."

Li Ergou turned back to look at Xiwa and waved his hand, saying, "I know, keep it up, you can definitely do it."

The younger siblings, looking at Xiwa's figure, all started to cry softly. Fortunately, Brother Ergou told them that it wouldn't be long before Brother Xiwa would come to find them, and then the family could be together again.

The morning glow rose, and the red clouds in the sky were especially beautiful. The little girl pointed to the big mountain in front and said, "What a beautiful orange grove! Brother Ergou, is that our home?"

The little girl was originally named Yadan, but Li Ergou thought it was too unpleasant, so he renamed her Li Xiner.

In the second uncle's family, only Li Xiner dared to ask Li Ergou questions. The others, perhaps because they had grown up, understood things and were somewhat afraid of Li Ergou.

However, Li Ergou liked Li Xin'er's closeness even more. He touched Xin'er's head and said, "Yes, you'll have oranges to eat every day from now on."

"Great, great, Xin'er can eat big oranges every day."

Orange Mountain was so big. Seeing such a large mountain that he would be in charge of from now on, the second uncle couldn't express his excitement. He was so excited that he cried.

In the courtyard, Li Ergou waved his hand and released all the chickens, as well as the seven sheep. The courtyard immediately became lively.

Now Li Ergou planned to expand the scale of the first-generation chickens to five hundred, and the second-generation chickens to five hundred as well. As for the third-generation chickens, he was a bit troubled. After so many days, the third-generation chickens still hadn't laid eggs. He really suspected that the third-generation chickens might not be able to lay eggs.

However, these third-generation chickens were good for guarding the mountain forest. These guys were almost as tall as Li Ergou when they stood up, and each one was very strong, like a big eagle. Ordinary beasts were no match for them at all.

After some hesitation, he still planned to expand the third-generation chickens to one hundred. This was his thousand-chicken plan, to create a real chicken paradise. In the future, he would rely on these eggs to make a living. After all, this mountain was so expensive, it would take a lot of eggs to make back the cost.

Li Ergou gave his second uncle one thousand taels of silver and asked him to buy whatever the family was missing. If it wasn't enough, he could ask Meier. During this time, the money from selling eggs was kept by Meier, after all, she was in charge of the household in the Bitter Mountain Courtyard.

After explaining everything, Li Ergou went to the yamen. Chen Bajin was waiting for him at the door early in the morning. As soon as he saw him, he immediately walked over and pulled him aside.

Li Ergou found it strange. Chen Bajin was a bit abnormal, he didn't know what he meant.

Chen Bajin looked around to make sure no one was there, and then said to Li Ergou, "Have you offended someone? According to your merits and your official position in Kushui County, coming to Fish City, the lowest position should be the Deputy Head Constable.

But the superiors only gave you the position of a Small Constable, which is very strange. So I think you must have offended some incredible person, and they want to mess with you."

"Small Constable!" Li Ergou was speechless. He was the Deputy Chief Constable in Kushui County, and he managed hundreds of people. Now they were just letting him be a Small Constable. What a joke, wasn't this a demotion in disguise?

You should know that, as Chen Bajin said, his position was equivalent to above the Second Constable and below the Head Constable. However, this was Fish City, and the official positions were higher. Giving him the Second Constable would be considered a lateral transfer, but the Small Constable was too much, equivalent to his Constable position in Kushui County.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He couldn't help but angrily say, "Who is in charge of me here? I want to reason with them."

Chen Bajin sighed and said, "You don't know, I was also quite annoyed when I heard about it. Fortunately, I used my connections to get you under my command. The Head Constable is Wang Zhen, the Deputy Chief Constable is Bai Su, whom you know.

As for the Chief Constable, don't even think about it. That guy is like a dragon, appearing and disappearing without a trace. I can't even see him. As for the County Commandant, hey, your position is too low, so don't even think about it. He might not even see you."

Li Ergou raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but feel discouraged. If he tried to reason with someone now, he would probably get a lot of excuses. Forget it, a Small Constable is a Small Constable.

He carefully thought about who was framing him. Could it be the County Clerk again? After all, besides him, he shouldn't have any other enemies. County Clerk, ah County Clerk, it looks like we two are the kind who will never stop fighting until one of us is dead. Then you just wait for me, sooner or later I will take care of you.

Then Li Ergou was taken away by Chen Bajin to meet his team. He was the Small Constable, equivalent to a squad leader, with four people under him: Ma Han, Zhao Hu, Liu Sanmazi, and Xiao Qi.

It must be said that the constables in Fish City were indeed extraordinary. These people actually had the strength of the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, each of them comparable to the strength of the constable in Kushui County. Taking them out in the future would be quite impressive.

Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries, and Li Ergou immediately arranged to treat them, taking everyone to Tianxian Tower for a big meal. After a meal of wine and meat, the relationship immediately improved.

When they came out of the restaurant, everyone immediately started calling him Brother Gou, and they were very enthusiastic.

After eating and drinking to their fill, everyone went home to find their mothers. Unfortunately, Chen Bajin insisted on dragging Li Ergou to a good place, no matter how much Li Ergou disagreed, he was still dragged there by him.
