Li Mantian waved his hand and said, "Chaos is about to break out, and our place will be the first to be affected. Even if some people dare not act recklessly for a while because of the existence of the immortals, how long can it last? This land will still be ruined in the future. It is better to sell it and buy it again when the world is stable again."

Li didn't understand the trends of these major world events, but seeing how determined Li Mantian was and how reasonable his words were, she could only nod in agreement.

He got up again, dragged a large box out from under the bed, took out a small box from the large box, and took out the few pieces of paper at the bottom, which were the land deeds for the family's several acres of fertile land.

Li Mantian took the land deed, sighed, and said, "The autumn harvest is plentiful, so these few acres should fetch a good price."

"Why don't we go to the eldest brother's family first and see if they are interested in taking over these few acres of fertile land?" Li put away the box. After all, it's better to keep the good land within the family. Why let outsiders benefit from it?

Li Mantian shook his head: "Buying land now is a good idea, but the future is uncertain, and we should also tell him about this."

Li Mantian hadn't forgotten that among the villagers who were pressuring him to hand over the grain, there was also his elder brother. But after all, they were family, and he had to consider their feelings, but that was all.

Ye Shuang felt that she might have given the medicine a bit too strong.

Li Mantian couldn't even wait for the matter to fade away, and the next day he went directly to the village chief to ask to sell the land.

The few acres of land belonging to the Li family were not originally considered fertile land, but everyone has witnessed the amount of grain harvested this autumn.

The village chief knew that the village felt guilty about the bandit incident, so he gave Li Mantian the land at the price of fertile land and kept the land deeds with him. If anyone in the village wanted to buy the land in the future, they could just buy it from him.

"Thank you, village chief." Li Mantian took the silver, counted it, and stuffed it into his pocket after confirming there were no problems. "Village chief, our family will be moving to the county town in the next few days. After we leave, if any outsiders move in, we can rent out our courtyard to them. However, we may have to trouble you with things in the meantime."

The village chief sighed, looked at him, and his cloudy eyes were full of regret: "Mantian, I've watched you grow up. What happened that day wasn't intentional. We were just too scared. For the sake of our friendship over the years, don't blame them too much."

Li Mantian nodded in agreement: "Village chief, I don't blame them. The plan to move to the county town was already made long ago. My son had already persuaded us during the Lantern Festival. Li Shi was also worried about the child staying alone in the county town. He would have to go sooner or later, so it's better to go sooner rather than later, so that the child won't go astray."

Li Mantian's words were so thorough and appropriate, leaving no room for argument. He didn't mention the bandits at all, making it impossible to tell whether he cared about them or not.

The village chief sighed deeply and slowly saw Li Mantian out.

With all the formalities completed, Li Mantian went straight home. There was still a fair amount of food in the cellar; he could either eat it himself or sell it in the county town—both were good options.

So starting in the afternoon, Li Mantian finished tidying up the grain in the cellar and started loading it onto the oxcart. There was so much stuff that he definitely couldn't carry it all at once.

Li Mantian only packed half of the grain at the bottom, and then covered it with another layer of luggage to hide the grain underneath.
