Qinghe County, Yunzhou Prefecture of the Great Yin Dynasty.
Li Mu, wearing a long robe, a long sword hanging from his waist, and carrying two large bags in both hands, appeared in the original bedroom extremely unexpectedly.
Behind him is the newly purchased Babu bed. At this time, there is a little dust on the bedside, and there are even signs of being rummaged in the bedroom.
"Is there a burglar in the house?"
Li Mu was startled, and hurriedly put down the things in his hands. He took a closer look in the bedroom and found that a thief had really entered the room. The pennies and several pieces of silver that had been placed in the bedside table had disappeared.
.
There is a huge difference between the speed of time in modern society and the speed of time in this world. It seems that one day in the main world is almost equivalent to one month in the Great Yin Dynasty world.
Li Mu spent one day in modern society, but to this world, almost a month had passed.
He hasn't been home for more than a month, and weeds have grown up in the yard. It's no wonder that thieves are coming.
"We have to find some servants quickly!"
After Li Mu put all the things he had brought safely, he went out immediately.
In such a chaotic feudal dynasty, it is normal for a family to be robbed.
As a commoner from outside, I don't have any fame. Even if I report to the official, no one will pay attention to me.
On the contrary, he may have been extorted by a petty official because of reporting to the official. If the thief was not caught, he would probably lose some money again.
All kinds of considerations flashed through Li Mu's mind, so he decided to quickly buy a few servants and maids, and then find a housekeeper and guards. As long as there were many people in the yard and some weapons and the like, ordinary thieves would not have the guts to break into the house.
theft.
There is a market on West Street in Qinghe County.
Recently, a plague broke out in a nearby county, and many people died. Many people fled to Qinghe County. Then there was a flood, and nearby rivers burst their banks, drowning countless people and animals.
Many people fled with their families, many fled to other places, and many fled to Qinghe County.
Most of the people who fled were in a panic and had no time to carry their money, so they were struggling to survive. Some of the men and women who had lost their source of livelihood had no choice but to sell themselves into slavery in order to survive.
Some women were bought by people in brothels, and some were clinging on to death, preferring to die rather than become prostitutes. However, there were some literate people who did not lack a livelihood and would not starve or suffer poverty.
Li Mu once visited the human market and saw many people who put in bids and sold their heads. However, he had not settled down at that time, so he could not buy or sell slaves. Now that he has enough money and bought a house, his mentality is naturally very different from the past.
After arriving at the human market, I saw on the cross street, cattle and horses were tied up on one side, and men and women in tattered clothes stood on the other side. People and animals stood opposite each other, and they became goods that could be bought and sold.
A group of men and women are served with food and hay in their heads. This is what is meant by the saying "Putting the first bid on the table".
Putting a grass on the head means that human life is like grass and can be bought and sold at will, which shows the miserable situation.
Li Mu walked along the street with a hard heart, and saw many old bustards and turtles, dressed in gold and silver, inspecting the bodies and teeth of the prostitutes, just like inspecting livestock.
During the examination, it was inevitable that the body would be touched, which caused many women to scream and the old madams to giggle. The louder the women screamed and the more panicked their expressions, the happier the teapots became.
Li Mu shook his head and continued to observe on the street to see if there were any suitable servants to buy.
He is not a saint, and the government will not save these people. He is a visitor from a foreign land, and it is difficult to protect himself, so there is no way to save him.
Now if you can buy a few people as maids and servants, you can save them.
He walked around and shook his head secretly. The people who sold themselves in the market were either weak or ugly. Almost none of them satisfied Li Mu.
In fact, thinking about it, it was Li Mu's turn to choose the good-looking women, and they had already been picked away by the local gangs or madams in Qinghe County.
As for a strong man, as long as he has the strength and is willing to endure hardships, he will not have to worry about finding work, and will not end up selling himself into slavery, or at worst just begging for food.
Only when you can't get any food from begging and there is really no hope, will you consider selling yourself into slavery.
Li Mu originally wanted to buy a few beautiful maids to serve him at home, and a few strong servants to look after the house and nursery. But now it seems that unless he goes to Renyazi to buy someone, otherwise he has to buy a few satisfactory maids and servants.
It took a little more time.
Now leave the city and return to the house.
As soon as he arrived near the door, he felt something was wrong. When he came out, the door had been locked, but now the door was opened. There was an open carriage parked at the door, with some tables, chairs, benches, and bedding stacked on the carriage.
Li Mu looked at these things that looked very familiar, and thought to himself: "Isn't this something from my room... Damn it, has it been stolen?"
He reacted quickly and couldn't help but became furious: "You stole something from me!"
In ancient times, theft was extremely rampant. There were many people who slipped into doors, picked locks, and stole things. There were also people who engaged in wrapping parties, rolling up all the belongings of the owner and running away.
Modern society has been peaceful for a long time, and Li Mu has always felt that this kind of thing is very far away from him, but he did not expect that in this great Yin Dynasty, he had just bought a house and had not lived in Rehu, but he would encounter such a thing.
The person who broke the lock and stole something must be the same as the thieves who stole his property before. He had stepped on the plate and felt that there would be no surprises, so he hit the carriage and pulled things in such an upright manner.
"Not only did you steal my property, but now you dare to move it here openly!"
Li Mu's mind raced and he already figured out what was going on. He immediately drew out the long sword from his waist, slashed it out, and cut off the hood of the carriage. He then hid the sword behind his back and walked into the courtyard.
I saw several young men in the courtyard carrying furniture and pots and pans, talking and laughing, and walking towards the door.
When they saw Li Mu walking in, several men were stunned, and the leader shouted: "Who is he? Why are you coming to my house?"
Li Mu laughed angrily: "Okay, okay! I didn't even leave the pots and pans behind. It's rare to steal things so cleanly."
Several men looked at each other and realized that the owner of the yard had returned.
Embarrassment flashed across the face of the leading man, and then a fierce look appeared on his face. He took out a sharp knife from his waist and strode towards Li Mu: "Boy, we were invited by the master to help with the move.
Who are you? Stop talking nonsense! If you dare to talk any more, my knife will not recognize anyone!"
The other men threw away what they were holding without hesitation and walked towards Li Mu at the same time.
Seeing the leading man drawing a knife and threatening him, Li Mu became even more angry: "Damn it, not only did you break into the house, but you also killed someone and silenced him!"
The leading man smiled and said: "I have inquired. You are a newcomer to Qinghe County. Your home was hit by a disaster. You lived alone in this yard and have not been back for many days. The neighbors nearby thought that you had encountered something unexpected and died in the house."
Where is it? If you die now, no one will probably know. Hey, if you have any sense, get out of here and let us take away your things..."
While he was speaking, several men were already surrounding Li Mu with swords in hand.
Li Mu put one hand behind his back, slowly backed away, and said, "Oh, what if I don't know what's going on?"
"If you don't understand, you will die!"
The leading man suddenly rushed forward, stabbing Li Mu in the chest with the sharp knife in his hand: "Surround him!"
Just as the big man was stabbing forward with the sharp sword, Li Mu's palm hidden behind his back suddenly turned in front of him, a cold light flashed, and the long sword suddenly thrust forward.
puff!
The big man who was charging forward couldn't stop himself in time, and was pierced through the chest by Li Mu with a sword. There was an incredible look in his eyes: "You..."
Li Mu thrust out his sword, immediately retreated, quickly pulled out the long sword, then spun around, and the long sword drew an arc, slashing at the necks of the men next to him.
Dang!
These men seemed to have martial arts skills. After seeing Li Mu stabbing the leading man to death with a sword, they were all frightened. The swords in their hands were placed in front of them, blocking Li Mu's extremely swift sword.
But after they blocked it, they felt that the power of Li Mu's sword was so powerful that their arms were sore and numb, and all the swords in their hands were knocked away by Li Mu.
“I can’t hold weapons securely, but I still try to imitate others by breaking into a house and killing people!”
After Li Mu slashed out with his sword and knocked away all the thieves' weapons, he felt surprised, but he had no time to think about it at this time. Since he had already started, there was no reason to stop. He had to go all out and kill them all!
Puff puff!
In the horrified expressions of these men, he jumped quickly and cut through the air with the long sword in his hand, instantly killing these thieves on the spot.
It wasn't until he landed and stood firm that the first leader he stabbed to death collapsed to the ground, which shows how quickly he attacked the enemy just now.
"After practicing for so many years, it finally came in handy today!"
Li Mu held a long sword in his hand and looked at the corpses splattered with blood in the courtyard. His heart was pounding, and he was scared and excited at the same time: "You are killing people now? It doesn't seem to be difficult. Is it because I am good at martial arts, or are they just useless?
