When Yu Nu came to Xia Shang's side, she sighed a little, obviously she couldn't find anyone willing to rent or sell the house.
This is also easy to understand.
Everyone saw that Xia and Shang killed so many people from the Haisha Gang.
In less than two days, people from the Haisha Gang will come looking for me.
How many things might happen at that time? Who would have anything to do with these people?
Some people even thought that what happened today would involve the entire village, and they were ready to flee.
In short, Xia Shang and others are not welcome in this village at all because they killed people from the Haisha Gang. If they had not known that these people were not easy to mess with, they would not have stayed in the village so peacefully.
Xia Shang was in a dilemma because he couldn't find a place to live.
At this time, the old man on the side said: "Three noble gentlemen, old man, I still have an abandoned courtyard at the west entrance of the village. If you don't mind it, you can stay there temporarily."
The old man did not care about the danger as always.
Xia Shang readily accepted it. As long as he was around, he would not worry that the old man would be harmed by the Haisha Gang.
The little boy next to the old man jumped out: "Grandpa, I will take my brothers and sisters there."
After saying this, the little boy walked out of the yard, looked back at Xia and Shang, and motioned for them to follow.
The village is not big, and it only takes less than a quarter of an hour from the east to the west of the village.
The little boy arrived at the door of a house: "This is it."
Xia Shang looked at it and smiled bitterly.
It is really an abandoned yard. Just looking at the dust and cobwebs on the fence at the door, you can tell how long it has been unoccupied.
The little boy was not good at talking and seemed a little shy in front of Xia and Shang.
But he was very quick with his hands and feet. Before Xia Shang could enter, he pushed open the courtyard door, opened a small well in the courtyard, drew water, and began to clean the courtyard.
The yard is only about a dozen square meters, and there is no paving. Judging from the soil, it looks like it must have been used for cooking.
There is an abandoned chicken coop at the back, a cowshed behind the house, a kitchen outside, and a hut next to the cowshed.
Although the yard is small, it is well-equipped, and a fine farmer must have lived there before it was abandoned.
The little boy was very familiar with everything here. The courtyard that was still dusty at the beginning was completely brand new under his cleaning in just a moment.
After the yard was cleaned, the little boy put the water into the well
The lid was brought to the three of them: "You guys wait a moment, I'll clean up the house."
The little boy was very sensible, and the two girls couldn't help but like him. They both smiled kindly at him.
The little boy went inside to clean, and Xue Lengxiang took the opportunity to ask Xia Shang about his plan.
The main reason why Xia Shang decided to live here was because he wanted a plan that could perfectly solve the threat of the Haisha Gang.
Xia Shang needs a force that can digest so many sea sand gangs.
This group of bandits cannot be allowed to disperse again.
The first thing Xia Shang thought of was the government office near the county seat.
But this idea was quickly rejected by Xia Shang.
A county government office can accommodate more than a hundred criminals, but it cannot accommodate more than one hundred criminals. There are not even enough cells.
If you want the county to catch all these bandits, it will take at least a dozen counties to jointly act. Not to mention that there are not so many counties in the surrounding area. Even if there are, it will be very troublesome to mobilize so many forces. Once these bandits are caught, they will be handed over.
Dealing with the matter to the county government will also put more pressure on the county government officials.
Think about it, ordinary official duties cannot solve these troublesome characters.
Officials can't do it, but the army can.
If all such a group of people are captured and sent to the army, not only can the army be expanded, but the army will also be the best place to rectify these bandits.
This idea is good, but Xia Shang has never had any relationship with the military, and he doesn't know how to implement this plan.
So Xia Shang decided to stay here first, at least to ensure the safety of this village, and then send a letter back to the palace, hoping that the queen could help Xia Shang handle this matter.
Of course, Xia Shang couldn't go into too much detail about his plan. He just said that he needed time to wait for support, and he could use this time to teach Xue Lengxiang Kung Fu.
After all, this girl is obsessed with high-level martial arts, and she is so good-looking. How could a sultry man like Xia Shang treat her badly?
Not long after staying in the yard, the little boy packed up the house and came out. Without saying anything, he turned around and left.
Xia Shang saw that the child was pitiful and planned to give the little boy some scraps of silver.
Unexpectedly, this child ignored me at all, didn't even look back, and ran very fast ahead.
"Let's do this for now. Let's go into the house and take a look." Xia Shang greeted the two women and entered the house first.
The house is very simple and the room is very narrow, but it is divided into two parts by two curtains.
We had three rooms, and there wasn't much furniture. We could only see a set of tables and chairs, two beds, two cabinets and some farm tools.
"Look at what's missing and buy some."
The three people started to clean up briefly, and then made a list and handed it to Xue Lengxiang.
Most of what is missing are some daily necessities and food.
The village is relatively desolate, and every household is not living well. In addition, the villagers are wary of Xia Shang and others, so it is almost impossible to buy needed things nearby.
Xue Lengxiang could only worry more and go to a county farther away to purchase it.
Fortunately, Xue Lengxiang's kung fu is good and her walking speed is fast. Even if she goes to a remote county, half a day is enough for a round trip.
It was already midnight when Xue Lengxiang returned to the village, and she brought back a lot of things.
In addition to enough firewood, rice, oil and salt to last half a month, there is also a lot of fresh mutton and donkey meat.
They even brought back three horses.
Such a large formation attracted the attention of countless villagers in the middle of the night. It is estimated that people here have not seen such a wealthy family for a long time.
In the middle of the night, those envious and jealous eyes fell on Xue Lengxiang.
When I woke up the next day, the leg of lamb in the house had been stolen.
It's not that he wasn't discovered, it's that Xia Shang didn't let Xue Lengxiang care about it.
As soon as the day broke, Xia Shang began to teach Xue Lenxiang.
Not far behind the yard is a forest shaded by dead trees, with an open space in the middle.
It's not easy to be disturbed inside.
The only thing Xia Shang could teach Xue Lengxiang was swordsmanship. After reading the Book of Heaven, Xue Lengxiang's internal strength cultivation was completely understood by himself, and his progress was very fast.
The method is still the same as before.
The sword master's sword moves were broken down into steps and movements. Xia Shang demonstrated and Xue Lengxiang came to combine and learn.
Learning swordsmanship made Xue Lengxiang feel very stable, and all the impetuousness of yesterday gradually dissipated when she was alone with her master.
I was practicing my sword while my master was drinking and eating meat. It seemed like everything was back to the time at Mingjian Villa.
After experiencing a stressful life for a long time, when I came to this village, the pace of life seemed to slow down from the moment the sun rose today.
This feeling is very comfortable, at least it makes Xue Lengxiang feel very comfortable. She just hopes to stay here with the master for a few more days.
