These are land deeds. Two of them are deeds for two shops, one in Xiangzhou and the other in Yongzhou. There is also a deed for a mountain. Judging from the locations described on them, Li Mai doesn't know where it is.

"Why are you giving me these? You guys keep them!" Li Mai put them in and pushed them back.

Xu Changhuan pushed the shop back, "These are the two shops my father gave to you. They used to belong to the Xu family. When things were tough a few years ago, my father didn't sell them, but he sold most of the other shops. He planned to keep these two so we could open Tianxiang Pavilion in the future, but we don't need them anymore. My father said we won't be opening any more shops in the future."

"That mountain is a mountain full of trees. It was a place where the Xu family wanted to plant some fragrant wood trees, but the soil was not good and they couldn't grow. Only thorns, locust trees and poplar trees could grow well, so it was left barren. That mountain is not far from your Qing Shi Town. My father said he would give it to you!"

“These things will be useless to the Xu family in the future. My father doesn’t want to keep them either, so he’s giving them to you as medical fees.”

After Xu Changhuan finished speaking, he stood up, waved his hand, and said, "You guys rest. I'm going back to see my father first. I'll leave again after breakfast tomorrow morning."

Li Mai nodded and stood up to see her out.

Zhou Quan accompanied her and saw Xu Changhuan off. The two exchanged a glance and walked together toward Old Yang's residence.

Old Yang was surprised that the two of them came to him to ask about their affairs. Li Mai said that he hoped that after they left, he could take care of the Xu family's Tianxiang Village until their affairs were over.

Come find me after this is over.

As for why he came to see him, Li Mai didn't say, and Old Yang didn't ask either.

But Old Yang had a rough idea of ​​what was most valuable to Li Mai and Zhou Quan: not gold or silver, not property, but the spiritual spring water and herbs they could easily produce. Those were what he needed most.

If he wants to continue cultivating and become younger with each cultivation, he will need spiritual spring water and spiritual herbs.

Although he built a greenhouse in his courtyard in the capital and planted it with spiritual herbs, the soil and water in this world have no spiritual energy, and his spiritual herbs also have a lifespan. Perhaps after a few years, their spiritual power and medicinal properties will weaken.

These are principles that every cultivator in this world understands.

After Li Mai and his wife left, Old Yang disappeared from the house. He then went to set up defenses around Tianxiang Village again. This time, he would even know if a bird flew in.

He had no relatives in this world, so why not treat his apprentices, Zhou Quanli and his wife, as family? He felt that he was destined to be with them.

He needs their inexhaustible spiritual spring water and spiritual herbs, and they need their own strength to protect the people they care about. Isn't this fate?

With this in mind, Old Yang happily went about his business.

After returning home, Li Mai and Zhou Quan rested. However, before resting, the couple would, as usual, go into their space to cultivate.

Inside the space, Li Mai looked at the unfinished house and told Zhou Quan her thoughts. After listening, Zhou Quan nodded and said he would tidy up their home here as soon as possible.

The next day, after breakfast, Li Mai went to check on the wound of the Xu family head again. It had improved a lot, and the scab had hardened. It was estimated that it would fall off in a few days. With the help of spiritual spring water and spiritual herbs, the wound was healing several times faster than that of an ordinary person.

After giving them some instructions, Li Mai and Zhou Quan drove the carriage away.

Xu Changhuan and Yun Chang saw them off as they left the mountain, while Xu Changle and An Nanyang accompanied Xu Xing.

On the way, Li Mai comforted Xu Changhuan, "Don't worry about your dad. Apart from losing an arm, there are no other major problems. Moreover, I talked to your dad, and he has a good attitude. He doesn't seem to be very sad about it. Maybe through this incident, he has really thought through a lot of things."

Xu Changhuan nodded and hummed in agreement.

Yun Chang told Li Mai to be careful when she got back, not to overwork herself, and to let Zhou Quan do anything, fearing that something might go wrong while she was pregnant.

Li Mai smiled and agreed. This was probably the thing that her family was most worried about right now!

This older brother is a worthwhile friend; he truly treats her like his own sister.

When Li Mai raised an eyebrow to look at Zhou Quan, she saw Zhou Quan give her a doting smile and gently put his hand on her arm.

Li Mai chuckled to herself. Although with her current cultivation level, she didn't need to be supported so carefully, she was still quite happy to see Zhou Quan being so attentive.

Li Mai discovered that, since becoming pregnant, she had developed a longing in her heart—a longing to be cared for, to be noticed, and to be cherished.

This must be what a pregnant woman longs for most during her pregnancy, right?

After leaving Tianxiang Village, they headed directly north, without having to pass through Yongzhou City.

Four days later, they returned to Qingshi Town.

On the way, they also went around to see the mountain, which was covered with trees, mostly poplar and locust trees, which did not grow very well because they were on a hillside.

After looking at it, the couple didn't know what to do with the mountain, so they just left it there for now. However, since there were so many trees on the mountain, if Zhou Lin's shop needed wood, he could go there and pick some out himself.

This is the only use they can think of for the mountain at the moment.

When they returned to the Red Pomegranate Clothing Shop, they encountered Zhou the Matchmaker, who was watching the shop from outside but didn't dare to go in.

When Zhou Quan saw her, he raised an eyebrow. For the past year, they had tried to find her and run into her, but they had missed each time. They never expected to run into her today.

"Aunt Zhou, are you here to buy clothes, or to see my husband and me?" Zhou Quan stopped the carriage, helped Li Mai down from it, and asked.
