The first snow of the tenth year of Tianyuan arrived later than usual. It was a heavy snowfall, accompanied by biting cold winds. Few pedestrians could be seen on the road. The only sound that could be heard was the lingering sound of the erhu.

A straw hat. A worn-out vest, paired with a small stool. This made up the singing group.

...

Until the system's voice rang in his ears, the sound of the erhu gradually stopped. He put away the erhu and tugged at the old cow behind him. The cow skillfully lifted the stool with its horns. One person and one cow walked through the snow, heading into the distance.

Li Ping'an, twenty years old this year. He had crossed over here ten years ago and became blind. Other protagonists might either be ordinary or surpassing, like Louis Koo. Or they could be handsome and the most beautiful man in the world. The worst-case scenario would be to become a concubine's son, but that too would be free from worries about food and drink.

As for him, his eyes could only vaguely make out outlines within half a meter. He was almost blind. His only possession was a cow he had raised since childhood. It had grown from a small calf to its current size. Not cute at all.

Strangely, this cow had been stolen several times. Each time, it returned to Li Ping'an unharmed. Perhaps this was a gift from heaven for him. But apart from that, he had nothing else. He started with a bowl, and everything depended on stealing. Although he had unlocked the system half a year ago, the erhu system allowed him to become stronger just by playing the erhu.

As for the specific functions, Li Ping'an didn't quite understand. He only knew that as long as he followed the system's requirements and played the erhu on the street, he would receive corresponding rewards.

[Name: Li Ping'an, Age: 21]

[Skills: Reflection of the Two Springs]

[Level: LV1 (500/10000)]

[Current Functions: Increase Lifespan, Unblock Qi and Blood, Unblock Meridians, Dispel Dampness, Warm the Body]

...

Li Ping'an hoped that the system would allow him to live a normal life. He really didn't expect to defeat a great demon king or marry a princess. Becoming an official in the court? Defending the borders? Protecting the world? These were all too far from him. He just wanted to live a peaceful and healthy life.

With a cane in hand, Li Ping'an walked slowly, the old cow trailing behind him.

"Hey, blind man!" A sudden voice rang out.

Three blurry figures appeared in Li Ping'an's vision. The trio, led by Da Hu, stood before him. Da Hu and his companions hadn't tied their hair up yet and were mingling in the streets. With nothing better to do, they liked to stir up trouble for fun. A blind man playing the erhu, with no family or connections, naturally became their target for bullying.

Li Ping'an ignored them and turned to leave. But Da Hu quickly stretched out his leg and tripped Li Ping'an, sending him sprawling to the ground.

"Hahaha!" The three of them erupted into unrestrained laughter.

The street vendors nearby pretended not to see; this was a common occurrence. Few dared to provoke these little tyrants.

Li Ping'an calmly stood up and brushed the snow off his clothes. Da Hu then reached out and snatched Li Ping'an's cane, taunting, "Come chase me, blind man!"

Li Ping'an still ignored him and continued walking forward.

"Hey! You coward!" Da Hu, with his robust figure, blocked Li Ping'an's path like a small mountain.

Li Ping'an sighed helplessly in his heart.

"You guys better leave if you don't want to get caught by the patrolling guards!" shouted Wang, the tofu seller.

She was known as the beauty of the street—young, pretty, and with a good figure. It was said that when she was younger, the men who pursued her would fight all day. However, she married early. Yet, the admiring gazes still lingered, which made her tofu business particularly prosperous. After all, who wouldn't want to eat tofu that was both white and large?

Da Hu leered, "Boss lady, don't scare me! I'm just teasing him."

Wang replied, "You're just bored and picking on him. Go away!"

After exchanging some flirtatious banter with Wang, Da Hu and his companions leisurely left.

Li Ping'an brushed off the snow and was about to leave when Wang handed him a bag of fresh hot tofu and five coins.

"Thank you," Li Ping'an nodded in gratitude.

Wang smiled and patted the old cow's head. "Be careful on the slippery road."

Li Ping'an squinted his eyes, the outline of Wang's figure appearing in his mind. The contours were smooth, with natural highs and lows on her face. Although he couldn't see her clearly, he could sense her beauty.

Holding the old cow's lead, Li Ping'an stepped carefully on the snow.

...

Today's earnings: earned ten coins from performing, received five coins from Wang, and got an extra piece of free hot tofu. He spent nine coins to buy a bowl of hot noodle soup on the street, accompanied by free pickles and tofu.

After eating and drinking to his fill, Li Ping'an didn't rush to
