Old man Li didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
Huang An had no choice but to tell him that he was going to Dahuaishu Village, to see Xiao Wu, and to persuade Xiao Wu to go with them to Youzhou City.
After hearing this, Old Man Li's doubts disappeared from his eyes.
However, he still has one question.
"What are you doing at Dahuaishu Village? Your home is not there!"
Huang An chuckled, and directly told him that he was now the nominal "master" of Dahuaishu Village without hiding anything.
Hearing this, Old Man Li was silent for a long time, and then said with a sour sigh:
"It would be great if my child lived!"
After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.
In fact, there was one sentence he didn't say, "Just let him follow you."
Huang An was silent. Although he didn't understand its meaning, he remained silent for a long time.
People who are alone and widowed are most vulnerable to emotional distress.
He slept in the small courtyard where he lived before at night, and woke up at 5:30 in the morning to practice martial arts.
After taking a spoonful of exotic animal meat porridge and completing the nine body-building exercises, the energy and blood boiled.
Like the water of a long river, it tirelessly washes away the internal organs and meridians, constantly strengthening the power of Qi and blood in his body, and solidifying and thickening the foundation of martial arts.
With his cultivation steadily improving, Huang An is confident that within a month, he will be able to break through to the middle stage of the Six Fu Realm!
At 8:30 in the morning, Huang An, Yu Mao, and a few of their brothers came out of the side door of the martial arts hall and went straight to Xiaowu's medicine shop in the city.
He stared at Yu Mao with strange eyes, still unable to believe what he heard.
"Fourth brother, it's true! You have to believe me! My Yu Mao's niece really married that Xiao Wu, and I personally presided over the wedding at that time!"
There was nothing strange on Yu Mao's face, and he assured Huang An again and again seriously.
Huang An looked at his best second brother suspiciously, then nodded and led the way to Xiao Wu's medicine shop.
What a coincidence. How come the woman Xiao Wu married happened to be Brother Yu’s niece in Fen County?
The more he thought about this coincidence, the more he felt something was wrong.
If it wasn't a coincidence, then why did Brother Yu do this?
"Could it be that Brother Yu wants to curry favor with the master? So you start with me?"
Huang An could only make such a guess, because since yesterday before entering the city, he had realized that more and more people were showing favor to him and fawning over him.
Thinking of all Yu Mao's behavior when he and Senior Sister Zhao lived in the Xialinzhai compound, he could easily guess what Brother Yu was thinking.
It seems that he really flatters himself and shows his kindness.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to give away his niece.
Maybe he also wants to make up for the slightest bit of unhappiness between the two of them when they first got along.
Thinking of this, the only grudge in Huang An's heart disappeared.
In fact, he and Yu Mao are the same kind of people, they are both pawns, and there is no conflict of interest.
It's just that I'm lucky and happen to be the master's disciple.
"Second brother is trustworthy!"
Huang An calmly glanced at the smirking Yu Mao and made a conclusion in his mind.
In fact, despite the heated fights between him and everyone in Xialin Village these days, he is older than his younger brother.
But the relationship between the four people is very subtle.
After all, they are not true brothers, and each represents different interests.
In particular, the relationship between him and Yu Mao started from threatening each other, then to secret cooperation, and finally became brothers in name only, living together in Xialin Village.
This experience makes the two of them feel weird and hypocritical when they get close to each other now.
But now, Huang An has become close to Yu Maosheng.
The sense of estrangement and hypocrisy between the two, like the initial misunderstanding between the two, has completely disappeared.
Yu Mao was slightly behind by half a body, and the expression on his face seemed to be very happy.
In fact, he was even happier.
The unintentional move that day really worked.
These fourth brothers are indeed people who value friendship and loyalty.
I was going to go out early this morning to see Xiao Wu.
This shows that all his previous actions and flattery methods were very effective.
As soon as he told Huang An about his niece, Huang An's attitude towards him became more cordial.
The relationship between people still needs to be calculated and resorted to, especially the two of them.
When the two of them put it together, no matter how ridiculous Huang An felt, he could only accept it.
I simply came here with Brother Yu to see the newlyweds.
"Second brother, why don't we go empty-handed?"
Huang An's sense of Yu Mao improved unconsciously, and he could hear that he was much more affectionate when he addressed him.
He was standing in the middle of the street, glancing at the shops everywhere, wishing he could just rush in and make a big purchase.
When Yu Mao thought about it, he was right.
The two brothers each started shopping.
Huang An has no shortage of money, so he can naturally buy and sell as much as he can.
He even took a detour to the street not far from the main entrance of the Zhao Family Martial Arts School, and while thanking Divine Doctor Xue for helping Xiao Wu treat Xiao Wu, he bought some very expensive tonics that were most likely not available in Xiao Wu's drug store.
If you see something good along the way, just go in and buy it.
By the time all the shopping was finished, it was already half past ten.
He bought so much meat, oil, eggs, preserved fruits, honey, sugar, etc. that he couldn't carry it all by himself, so he simply hired an ox cart.
Oxcarts can hold a lot of things, and the things you buy look too spacious when placed in them.
Huang An simply bought some more, filled the ox cart directly, and pulled the ox cart away.
Yu Mao was speechless. This fourth brother brought so many things. As an elder, it was hard for him to buy less.
Otherwise, it would appear that he, Yu Mao, is too stingy.
Although I was slandering in my heart, "How can any elder buy so many things to see the younger generation?"
But he was very honest. He also hired a car and bought a full car.
Although there were many things, they were not things used by warriors, so the total value of the two carts of goods was less than twenty taels of silver.
Both of them were people who didn't care about other people's opinions. Two of Yu Mao's men helped drive the car, and the four of them soon arrived in front of Xiao Wu's medicine shop.
...
"Xiao Wu, you really don't want to go to Youzhou with us? You can also go to Xialin Village, follow me, I guarantee it will be better than now!"
Huang An stared at Xiao Wu in shock, his tone full of regret.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Brother, I really don't want to go, Feng'an City is just fine."
Xiao Wu waved his hands and looked towards the kitchen.
There is his wife there, and he thinks his life is pretty good now.
He knows his abilities, and it is already good for him to be able to guard this pharmacy.
One hand is almost half disabled. Rather than go to Youzhou or Xialin Village and trouble the master and elder brother, it is better to stay here with my wife and guard this medicine shop together.
Huang An still refused to give up and asked:
"How about I open another pharmacy for you in Youzhou City?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu showed hesitation on his face, but after thinking about it carefully, he apologized to Huang An:
"Brother, you don't need to persuade me anymore. My family knows my own affairs. It would be great if I could keep this medicine shop in Feng'an County. I'm not used to staying in Youzhou City."
When Huang An heard this, he pondered for a long time, and finally stopped trying to persuade him.
It seems that Xiao Wu has already made up his mind and cannot force himself.
After a while, the second brother's niece and Xiaowu's mother-in-law came out with a smile and dishes.
Everyone sat around and had lunch.
Although Huang An is young, he has a good eye for seeing people.
Uncle Li is right, Xiaowu's daughter-in-law is pretty, good in the hall and in the kitchen.
The way she treats others, the tone of voice she talks to Xiao Wu, and her actions when eating all show that she is a woman who can take care of her family.
Huang An was very happy with Xiao Wu's current situation and pulled Xiao Wu and his wife to say many words of thanks.
Xiaowu was one of the four nicest people he met in this strange world.
And his kindness is very pure, a favor repaid with a hand.
This kind of behavior of repaying kindness and the way of dealing with the world is subversive for Huang An, who grew up in his hometown on Earth.
Therefore, he cherishes his relationship with Xiaowu even more.
This is why he didn't force Xiao Wu to follow him to Youzhou City.
Everyone has their own desires, Huang An decided to respect Xiao Wu's choice.
Maybe staying in Feng'an County and living a life of a hot bed with his wife and children is his best choice, right?
They had to go to Dahuaishu Village in the afternoon, and Huang An couldn't stay long. After telling the two of them to take care of themselves, he reluctantly said goodbye and left.
He stuffed another hundred taels of silver into the gift for Xiao Wu, and didn't tell anyone.
Therefore, he walked very freely.
The four of them returned to the martial arts gym, took the remaining brothers who were helping in the gym, and rode straight to the west city gate.
Fen County is relatively small, and it's a convenient route, so you don't have to worry about delaying or wasting time.
By the time Huang An and the others arrived outside the west city gate, Yang Chengwu and the others were already looking forward to it.
No one exchanged greetings, and when they saw that everyone was here, Huang An gave an order and asked Yang Chengwu to lead the way, and everyone went straight to Dahuaishuzhuang.
Dahuaishuzhuang is only seven or eight miles away from the intersection outside the West Gate.
Huang An and the others were riding horses very fast.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, they were welcomed into Dahuaishu Village.
Huang An called Zhang Ren and Yang Hao to come forward, and brought several of his brothers to inspect Zhuangzi with great interest.
But, he was disappointed.
This big locust tree village was even poorer than he imagined.
In other words, villages in this era are poorer than he imagined.
Huang An, who has not personally come to this barbaric era and witnessed this extremely primitive village, as a modern person on earth, cannot describe the miserable poverty even if he exhausts all his imagination.
Even though this Big Sophora Tree Village is already considered the best village nearby.
After all, when the village was not hit by war in the early years, it was very wealthy, with so many soldiers and even warriors.
Over the years, there have only been five or six warriors in the village, and now they are all under Huang An.
Although the surnames among the villagers are relatively mixed, over the years, young people have married each other, and they are basically related to each other.
Serving as soldiers under this group of warriors who are considered relatives, ordinary military households in Dahuaishu Village will not be exploited too badly.
But in Huang An's view, he was still extremely poor.
The village is still in the stage of bartering.
Copper coins?
There is no use for that kind of treasure at all.
As for silver, it is even rarer to find.
Sallow complexion, skinny bones, and not fully clothed, this is what Huang An saw.
When walking on the road, the most common thing you see are naked children, with no hair on their bodies.
The men doing farm work, their chests and necks are tanned by the sun, and the wrinkles on their faces tortured by suffering can hide all their difficulties and poverty.
After a brief walk around the village, Huang An had a basic impression of the entire Dahuaishu Village.
