Wu Cheng coughed twice, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "How long do you think my body can last?
If you don’t find a disciple now, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance in the future!”
As soon as he said this, a gloomy expression appeared on the face of the strong hunter.
Then he glanced at Tao Xiaowu, his gaze was like a knife, but it shocked Tao Xiaowu.
"Why are this man's eyes so bright? Like light bulbs? Could he be a legendary martial arts master?
He asked Wu to become the witch master? It sounds like he was Wu Cheng’s servant.”
When I was thinking like this, I heard Wu Cheng say to Tao Xiaowu: "Get up, this is Qiu Yuan, my hunter in Wuli, and that is his son Qiu Shan. You will have to rely on him for many things in the future.
They are here, why don’t you bow to them quickly?”
Tao Xiaowu was very honest now. He would do whatever Wu Cheng said and immediately stepped forward to salute the father and son.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. I'm a servant and it's not good for me to be a gift from my young master..."
Qiu Yuan and his son hurriedly returned the favor, but Tao Xiaowu could feel that Qiu Yuan had a strong opinion of him. Although his attitude was respectful, he was neither salty nor weak in his heart.
Wu Cheng seemed to have noticed it, and chuckled lightly, saying: "I have several other families living in Wuli. You can meet them when I get back!"
With that said, he took Tao Xiaowu back to his home.
The so-called Wuli where Wucheng lived was outside Hengyin City, and it was in a rather remote mountain, and the road was somewhat rugged and difficult to navigate.
This Wuli is not very big, there seem to be only four or five households in total.
In fact, it is better to say it is a manor than a village.
A manor that revolves around the witch becoming the head of the family!
Including Qiu Yuan and his son, all other families are considered servants of Wucheng.
And that Wuli looks even more amazing!
Although the scale is small, the inner walls of Wuli are made of bluestone, but they have turned black over time.
Many places on the inner wall are covered with moss, vines and the like, giving it an indescribably primitive and solemn look.
You must know that Tao Xiaowu has also entered Hengyin City. Even in the huts where wealthy families live, the inner walls are all built with rammed earth.
And the inner wall of this Wuli is actually made of stone. From this point alone, you can see that Wuli is extraordinary!
But for Tao Xiaowu, what he thought was more practical.
The cheap master I just recognized seems to be richer than I imagined!
It seems that my worship to this master was not in vain!
Soon, Tao Xiaowu met several other families in Wuli.
In addition to Qiu Yuan and his son, who are both bachelors, there are also five members of the public family, the father and son, the Qin family and the Wu family. The total number of people is only twenty or thirty!
Everyone who saw Wu Cheng was respectful and called him the witch master.
The same goes for meeting Tao Xiaowu, who calls him Young Master. He is not as cold as Qiu Yuan!
However, Tao Xiaowu also noticed that Qiu Yuan had a high prestige among the witches, and seemed to be second only to Wucheng.
"If I guessed correctly, then this Qiu Yuan should be the second-in-command in Wuli. No wonder Master Wu Cheng asked me to have a good relationship with him!"
In Wuli, Qiu Yuan lived in a separate courtyard with a three-story building common in this era.
With layers of cornices, the appearance suddenly looks like a wooden tower from later generations.
In this era, small buildings like this are very common.
The first floor is often a place like a pigsty, while the second floor and above are where people live.
Wucheng's house does not raise pigs. The first floor is used to store sundries, and the second floor is also used for people.
Tao Xiaowu remembered that in his previous life, he had seen some unearthed tomb murals or ceramic models from the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, which all looked like this.
Later, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the world was in chaos, and the forts built in various places also evolved and developed from such courtyards.
When Tao Xiaowu followed Wucheng into this empty courtyard, the first thing he smelled was the smell of medicine floating everywhere.
"You can choose any of the empty houses here to live in. I'll have someone buy you bedding and other items later!"
Tao Xiaowu responded quickly, but thought in his heart that if he could build such a big yard and look like this, Wu Cheng would be much richer than he imagined!
You must know that Wucheng's courtyard wall is not made of rammed earth, but of green bricks.
In these days, even the walls of the palace were made of rammed earth.
In any case, Tao Xiaowu finally has a family to return to.
He won’t be homeless anymore, or even live in that ruined temple!
As soon as Wu Cheng came back, he started brewing the medicine.
Tao Xiaowu wanted to help, but Wu Cheng coughed and refused. He just said to Tao Xiaowu: "Don't worry about these things. Go and have a rest first. There will be trouble to deal with in the evening!"
"Trouble?" Tao Xiaowu was slightly stunned.
Wu Cheng said gloomily: "When you buy land coupons, you are asking the Yin God to buy the land. Do you think things will go away so easily after scaring away the mountain ghost yesterday?"
Tao Xiaowu knew that the Yin God in Wu Cheng's words meant the god of the underworld, and had nothing to do with the Yang God and Yin God who practiced alchemy that he had heard of in his previous life.
He was just surprised: "Master, are there really ghosts and gods in this world?"
Wu Chengda gave Tao Xiaowu a thoughtful look: "Whether there are ghosts or gods, you will know tonight."
Then he said: "Tell me what you did yesterday!"
Tao Xiaowu hurriedly took out the money bag and the gold hairpin, and told what happened yesterday, saying: "I heard that if you don't have more than 100,000 yuan, you won't be able to buy land coupons.
The owner of that house only gave me so much money, so although I wrote a land coupon for that house, I only wrote for three cents of the land..."
After hearing this, Wu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and actually praised Tao Xiaowu and said, "You did a pretty good job. This way, it will be more convenient to remedy the situation!"
Then he asked Tao Xiaowu to go to rest first, and Trouble came back late at night.
Tao Xiaowu woke up too early last night and was not in good spirits, so he followed the instructions and found an empty house.
At the beginning, he was still a little unable to sleep. He was in a strange place, a strange environment, and his future was uncertain.
I was even a little worried about whether Wu Cheng had good intentions...
However, not long after, smelling the scent of the medicine, I fell asleep without realizing it.
It was a very sweet sleep, and when Tao Xiaowu woke up, it was already dusk.
"Are you awake? I've already sent food. You should eat some first!" Wu Cheng said.
As soon as Tao Xiaowu heard that he was eating, his stomach suddenly started to drum.
But I haven’t eaten for a day and I’m already hungry!
A smile appeared on Wu Cheng's thin face: "Since you are hungry, eat more. An old man like me can't eat no matter how good the food is!"
Tao Xiaowu saw that the meal prepared by Wucheng was very rich, including wine and meat, and it was serious beef and mutton, not the dog meat that ordinary people eat.
As for pork, which is the cheapest, it is eaten by the poorest people.
