"There is a small flowerbed in the backyard, but I don't like growing flowers, so I planted onions, garlic and leeks. Remember not to uproot them, leeks can be harvested repeatedly..."

After returning home the day before yesterday, Shen Lang started planting vegetables.

But with the little rabbit here, of course we can eat the vegetables we planted the day before yesterday.

Gu Hongye asked where the small flower garden was, and went to pick leeks.

When she came back from picking the leeks, Shen Lang had already made the ramen and put it in the pot to cook.

Seeing that he had placed two small basin-like ocean bowls and a small ocean bowl on the stove, Gu Hongye couldn't help but ask:

"Is there anyone else at home?"

Shen Lang smiled and said:

"No. But I invited Mrs. Mu, and she will come over to have dinner with me later."

"Ah? People from Muda are coming too?"

"Well, she lives opposite me."

"What? You live across the street from Mr. Mu? Why didn't anyone in the Yamen tell me about this?"

Gu Hongye suddenly became a little nervous, and unconsciously began to adjust her clothes and hair.

Shen Lang remembered what happened when he went home with Mu Qingxue the day before yesterday.

At that time, Mu Qingxue thought he was going to send her home, but she did not refuse. She was just a little silent, her expression was a little subtle, and she would be lost in thought from time to time, with a wandering look in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Then when Shen Lang walked with her to the door of her house, said good night to her, and went straight to the house opposite to unlock the door, Mu Qingxue's expression at that time was wonderful.

"Shen Lang, you... bought the house across from me?"

"Yes, the location here is so good, and the housing prices are extremely cheap. If you don't buy it, you won't buy it."

"But do you know why the house prices here are so cheap, but they still can't be sold?"

"I heard there was a ghost here?"

"Not only have there been hauntings, but there have also been many fires. People from all walks of life have come to fight with them every now and then, and there was even a stone fall..."

"It's not a big deal, right? I'm a peerless genius in both magic and martial arts. This little thing can't hurt me."

"...It doesn't matter if you live here, I can take care of you if anything happens. However, you have to be careful when you sleep at night, so as not to suffer a disaster out of nowhere."

"Thank you, Mr. Mu. However, I have always been very lucky, so I shouldn't be in trouble. But you, Mr. Mu, I heard about your luck..."

"Hahaha... Are you kidding? They are all rumors! You have seen my luck with your own eyes. The gold I picked up is much more than you have ever seen in your life. Xiao Shen, you are also

I have officially joined the Divine Catcher Hall, so don’t believe the rumors, and don’t listen to the rumors!”

Then that night, a fire broke out in Mu Qingxue's house...

It's winter now, the sky is dry, and the wind is not strong at night. Mu Qingxue has been on a business trip for half a year, and no one has been cleaning up the house for a long time. The weeds in the yard are almost half full of people. When the fire starts, the wind blows, and the fire spreads.

It got bigger immediately.

Shen Lang was woken up by Xiaogu and hurried over to help put out the fire.

After putting out the fire, I saw that half of the last intact house of Mu Qingxue's house had been burned down, and the neighbors were also affected. What's even more outrageous is that there were actually a lot of sparks blown by the wind.

In Shen Lang's house across the street.

If Shen Lang hadn't been a little obsessive-compulsive, even if it was already very late when he got home, he would still clean up and remove weeds as soon as possible. In addition, there were small fish in the pond, and his house would probably be set on fire.

After extinguishing all the fires and even smoldering sparks, the two searched inside and outside for a long time, but could not find the cause of the fire.

"It stands to reason that it's already winter and the weather is very cold, so something shouldn't spontaneously ignite!"

"Perhaps some small animal grabbed the lit incense candle? Or maybe the tiles were blown down by the wind and sparked when they hit the rocks?"

"This...can't be such a coincidence, right? I've never heard that sparks will appear when a tile hits a stone!"

"The world is so vast that there are many strange things. Maybe there are small grains of flint mixed in the tiles? You have seen so many bizarre things that you will get used to them."

"..."

Shen Lang was completely convinced of Mu Qingxue's luck besides wealth.

Mu Qingxue is very good at making fun of hardships. She claimed that there was a fire on the first night when she got home, which was actually a good sign. It foreshadowed that she would be prosperous next year...

When Shen Lang saw that half of the only habitable house in Mu Qingxue's house was burned down, he invited Mu Qingxue to stay at his house for one night and build the house together the next day.

Mu Qingxue thought about it seriously for a while, but finally declined - it was not that she was afraid of being left alone, but she just felt that her luck was too prosperous, and she was afraid that the feng shui of Shen Lang's house was not strong enough, and she would not be able to control it.

If you live with her momentum, you will soon lose your house...

So that night, Mu Qingxue meditated all night in the half-collapsed house.

Anyway, for third-level warriors, sleep is no longer necessary for survival, and meditation can be used to completely replace sleep.

Mr. Mu didn't even have a place to sleep, and the kitchen was naturally abandoned long ago.

Shen Lang got up early yesterday morning, made breakfast, and then went to the door and shouted, inviting her to come over for dinner.

This time Mu Qingxue did not refuse and accepted his invitation and had a meal with him.

Then all day yesterday, Shen Lang was helping Mu Qingxue repair the house.

His big slap spells such as the powerful grappling hand cannot perform very precise operations, but it is easy to do some physical work such as moving rocks and erecting beams. Moreover, he can go up and down the wall and change positions without using a ladder.

Very convenient.

After the two of them joined forces, it took only half a day to make Mu Qingxue's house habitable again, and even the kitchen was repaired.

That night, in order to thank him, Mu Qingxue cooked a dinner herself.

I don't know if it was because of Shen Lang's presence, but this time Mu Qingxue actually started cooking without getting into a fire, nor did the chimney get clogged, a small accident that had happened to her before. It was a sumptuous meal.

Mu Qingxue lived alone for a long time, and often went out to do business. It was common to sleep in the wilderness, so she developed good cooking skills. Even though she was not as good as the famous chefs, the meals she cooked were excellent.

It's also quite delicious.

Shen Lang accepted her hospitality and had a hearty meal. When he left, he invited her to come over and taste his ramen noodles the next morning.

The way to get along among neighbors is to come and go.

now.

Shen Lang was frying eggs while chatting with Gu Hongye:

"Where did Wang Heihu go?"

Gu Hongye is helping him cut the shredded meat at the moment. As a talented swordsman, she is also very good at using a kitchen knife. The shredded meat is cut into medium-sized and even thickness. She looks like an old red gum master:

"She left the capital early yesterday morning and went back to her hometown. She said she had earned such a large bounty and wanted to go back to her hometown to build roads."

"Building roads?"

"Well. Her hometown is a very remote mountain village. If the villagers want to sell some mountain products in exchange for some salt, they have to carry backpacks and walk over the mountains and ridges for several days. She came out to be a bounty hunter just to make money back home.

Township, build bridges and roads in your hometown to make it easier for the villagers to travel."

Shen Lang stood in awe:

"I didn't expect that Brother Wang would still have such feelings!"

Gu Hongye was overjoyed:

"Ha, you called her Brother Wang again..."

"I can't help it, her name is too easy for people to misunderstand."

"Yeah. It's all her father's fault for the random name. Speaking of which, it's because her mother died in childbirth and her father was the only one who decided on the name. That's why she got such a name. In addition, it's all because of her.

Her father raised her up because of the help of the villagers. Wang Heihu, although his mouth is a bit venomous, but his heart is really good. He is grateful to the villagers, and when he makes a lot of money, he must give back to his hometown."

Wang Heihu has a poisonous mouth?

Shen Lang glanced at Gu Hongye subtly and said:

"How did Wang Heihu, who was born in a remote mountain village where he had to climb mountains for several days, practice martial arts to the fourth level?"

"She was lucky. When she was a child, she met a herbal Taoist priest in the mountains. The old Taoist saw that she was very talented, so he stayed and taught her martial arts for three months. Based on what she learned in those three months, he supported her in practicing all the way to the fourth level.

"

"It only took three months of teaching Kung Fu, and Wang Heihu became a fourth-level master... Even if Wang Heihu himself is extremely talented, it is not easy for him to be a herbal Taoist priest! He can't be said to be a hidden master."

"Yes, she said that she was successful in practicing martial arts. After she went out to make money, she found out that the old Taoist priest who taught her martial arts was probably at least a third-level martial artist. Otherwise, it would be impossible to teach a disciple like her. Unfortunately, her master did not tell her his name.

, she didn’t even tell her the Taoist number. She has been to many places since she came out of the mountain and has been asking for a long time, but she has never found out where there is such an experienced Taoist with amazing cultivation."

"Wang Heihu is quite honest with you. He even told you this."

"Of course. She is a talkative person. She likes to chat with me when she has nothing to do in the past two days. She doesn't need to ask about anything. She just starts it and she tells it all by herself."

"..."

Is Wang Heihu a talkative person?

Shen Lang glanced at Gu Hongye subtly again.

Gu Hongye noticed his eyes and said curiously:
To be continued...
