This is a very old-looking house with a small area.
"Brother, this is my home when my sister gets here. Although it's a little dilapidated, it's very clean!"
Bai Xiao hurriedly explained as if he was afraid that Li Mo would not like his house.
Li Mo remained silent, still looking at the small courtyard.
"Xiao'er? Are you back?"
A woman who looked to be only about thirty years old walked out of a room with a staggering step!
"Mom, why are you out? You are still recovering from your illness."
Bai Xiao quickly stepped forward to help his mother.
"Look at you kid, why don't you call me when you have guests at home! Who are these two?"
"Mom, the one hundred taels of silver were given to me by these two brothers and sisters yesterday. Today they came to see our house and want to rent it."
"Hello, Auntie! Junior Li Mo, this is Liu Yan. The two of us have traveled here and want to stay here for a longer time. Brother Bai Xiao happened to talk about some vacant rooms, so I came over to take a look."
"Alas! It was me who was dragging this child down. His father passed away early and I was ill. The family had to rely on him to earn money to support the family. Don't laugh at me. Our house is indeed dilapidated. If you don't mind it, just move. If you come here and stay for a while, you’ll have to pay the rent. The money you gave me yesterday was enough!”
"Auntie! That's not possible. Yesterday was for Bai Xiao's travel expenses. We can't live in this house for free!"
Liu Yan interrupted.
"No, I said I don't want it, so I don't want it. If you don't want to give it, just find another house!"
Bai Xiao's mother is also a very stubborn person.
"Auntie, please don't get too excited. It's important. We'll just stay here. Liu Yan, please take care of Auntie. Bai Xiao, please follow me to the inn to get some things."
After Li Mo explained everything, he pulled Bai Xiao out of the yard.
"Brother Li Mo, I'm sorry, but I can't help it. You also saw my mother..."
"Okay, stop talking! I understand your difficulties." As he said this, Li Mo took out a few hundred taels of silver notes from his arms and gave them to Bai Xiao.
"Take it to your mother for medical treatment!"
"Brother Li, no... I didn't mean that!"
"I know you don't mean this. You have to bear the burden of the family at such a young age. My brother lent this to you. You can pay it back to me when you have money!"
In Li Mo's heart, he admired Bai Xiao very much. He was so sensible at such a young age, supported the family, and took care of his sick mother. This moved Li Mo and decided to help Bai Xiao.
"Thank you, Brother Li! I will definitely return the money to you!"
Bai Xiao couldn't control his emotions.
Li Mo gently patted Bai Xiao on the shoulder and walked towards the inn.
…
When they returned to Bai Xiao's home, Liu Yan had simply tidied up their two rooms and was teasing Xiao Bai happily.
Seeing Li Mo coming back, he hurried forward.
"Li Mo, Bai Xiao, mother and son are really pitiful, can we help them!"
"Don't worry, I will do what I have to do!"
Liu Yan smiled and said nothing when she heard this. She knew that Li Mo was also a kind person, otherwise, he would not live in Bai Xiao's house.
"Okay, let's go out for a walk, Xiao Xiao is already waiting for us outside!"
"That's great, Li Mo, do you know? I haven't been this comfortable for a long time. I'm at the Sheriff's Mansion every day, and it almost suffocates me to death!"
It must be said that Taiping Town has attracted many foreign martial arts experts due to its unique advantages. Although the area is not very large, the streets are very lively.
Not only were the local people shouting and selling their products, Li Mo even saw some martial arts masters setting up stalls to sell some low-level elixirs and magic weapons. Of course, the prices were high.
Liu Yan was like a happy elf, looking around to see everything new, while Xiao Bai on the shoulder looked timid, clutching Liu Yan's clothes tightly with his two front paws, and looking around warily with his big eyes.
"Eh!" Li Mo stopped when he passed by a stall that only had the strength of a warrior. He became interested in a simple mirror on the stall.
"Hey! This little brother, you are really discerning. This ancient mirror is a treasure passed down from my master's sect. It seems that you are also a member of the same group. I'll sell it to you cheaper. How about just a thousand taels?"
"Wow! Why don't you go and grab it? A broken mirror costs a thousand taels?"
Bai Xiao beside him couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What do you know, little kid? This is my master's treasure. Go and play, don't disturb the uncle's business!"
…
Li Mo didn't pay attention to the stall owner's words at all. If it was true as he said, how could this bronze mirror be sold? There were only two possibilities. This was just an ordinary bronze mirror, and the stall owner just took it out to make things mysterious, or The stall owner was so weak that he didn't realize that this was a treasure.
Li Mo has been looking at this simple bronze mirror. Although part of the back of the bronze mirror has been covered by mottled green rust, Li Mo can still see that the back of the mirror is engraved with Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu. As for the four sacred beasts, Li Mo didn't recognize some of the inscriptions around them!
But for some reason, this bronze mirror always gave Li Mo a familiar feeling!
"One hundred taels, I want this bronze mirror!"
Li Mo withdrew his gaze and looked at the stall owner.
"Little brother, this is my master's treasure, one hundred taels? You'd better go somewhere else to take a look!"
The stall owner looked at Li Mo with contempt and remained silent.
How could Li Mo not know his little trick? He stood up and was about to leave.
"Hey! Little brother, you take the five hundred taels. How about I do a good deed today?"
The stall owner got this bronze mirror by accident. When he saw the pattern on the back of the bronze mirror, he thought it was a treasure. However, no matter how much he studied it, he couldn't see any difference, so he finally gave up and got it. The stall was put up for sale to see if it could fetch a good price, but for more than a month there has been no interest.
I saw Li Mo today who was very interested in this bronze mirror and turned into a lion with his mouth wide open!
"I don't want even a penny more than one hundred taels."
"Hey! Little brother, how about three hundred taels? This is already my biggest concession."
"Haha, bye!"
Li Mo ignored them and left with Liu Yan and Bai Xiao.
"I'm unlucky today. Little brother, you got a big deal. If I weren't in a hurry for money, I wouldn't be able to sell it!"
The stall owner really wanted to leave after picking up Li Mo, so he quickly stopped him.
Anyway, this thing is like scrap metal in my hands. It is of no use keeping it. It is more practical to exchange it for some silver.
Li Mo handed the money to the stall owner, took the bronze mirror and left without talking nonsense to him.
"Li Mo, what exactly is this bronze mirror?"
Seeing Li Mo playing with the bronze mirror in his hand, Liu Yan asked curiously.
"I don't know what this is, but I always feel an indescribable familiarity with it!"
"Ah! You don't know what it is, so you still spend a hundred taels on it. I think you really have too much money and no place to spend it!"
After speaking, Liu Yan ignored Li Mo and ran to other stalls to pick out the items she liked.
…
"What kind of treasure are you?"
Li Mo looked at the bronze mirror in his hand, feeling that it was nothing special!
