After several days of rest, Xia Cheng's body gradually recovered, and it was finally time to leave the hospital.
Xia Ye drove Hutou Ben to take them back to Xingde Village.
He and Wang Lan helped Xia Cheng into the car, and then prepared to return to the village.
On the way back, Xia Ye slowly took out her cell phone and dialed Lin Shuang'er.
"Headmaster Lin, I have a question to ask you."
"Boss, please stop being so polite to me."
"In your opinion, do you think I still have a chance to enter Wudang to practice martial arts? I have already reached this age."
"Of course there is a chance! Didn't you listen to what Taoist Wang said that day? You are actually a talented martial arts prodigy. You just wasted half of this talent in the past twenty years, but now if you want to suddenly pick it up, there is still a chance for a breakthrough. . Boss, why do you suddenly want to enter Wudang to practice martial arts? You have such a large business circle in Longcheng City, wouldn’t it be putting the cart before the horse to practice martial arts in Wudang Mountain?”
Xia Ye did not reveal the crisis he was in at the moment to Lin Shuang'er.
After all, his current experience is definitely incomprehensible to ordinary people.
And he happens to be a little more aware of worries than ordinary people.
Ever since Xiao Yun died at Panlong Manor, Xia Ye has been reflecting on herself.
If he had had martial arts at his side that day, Xiao Yun's sacrifice might not have been in vain.
Even if he can pay for the best bodyguards, if he doesn't have the ability to protect himself, Xiao Yun's tragedy will still happen around him.
"I want to learn some self-protection skills in Wudang."
"That's no problem at all. Boss, let's go to Wudang then."
"After that year, wait for my news. By the way, how is Bian Quemen doing recently?"
"Since Taoist Master Xiao Wang has cleared away the obstacles of the ghost gate, the patients who come to the medical clinic are now much normal. It's just... those experts in Western medicine seem to be holding seminars all the time, and I don't know what kind of evil they are holding back. "
Xia Ye said calmly: "You just practice medicine and don't worry about them. We Chinese medicine practitioners must demonstrate our all-encompassing abilities and must not join their ranks in trying to kill everyone."
"Boss, of course I know this. Our ancestors have warned us long ago that we must be surrounded by enemies, and we must not be forced by the poor."
Xia Ye felt that these words were very familiar, and asked abruptly: "Headmaster Lin, where did these words come from?"
"Sun Tzu's Art of War."
Hearing "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Xia Ye's eyes flashed with surprise.
The surrounding troops must be guarded, but the poor aggressors must not be pressed!
Xia Ye suddenly recalled that An Rushan had said at Panlong Manor that he was familiar with "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
So he didn't push himself into a desperate situation and gave himself a chance to escape.
Is it because of the saying "If you surround the enemy, you must be surrounded, but if you are poor, don't force the enemy"?
Thinking of this, Xia Ye suddenly felt frightened.
He could imagine that everything was as if someone had opened a big net and treated everyone, including him, as pawns in the game.
Even every detail can be calculated accurately, as if an invisible hand controls everything.
And does he still have a chance to clear away the fog and find out the truth of all this?
After hanging up the phone, Hutouben had already entered Xingde Village on a summer night.
Entering Xingde Village, Zhang Zhiyuan, who has a good relationship with Xia Cheng, has been helping their family oversee the construction of the house.
Now, after three or four months of construction, the house has been built into a three-story cement box.
The interior has not yet been decorated, but a rough shape has been formed.
As long as Xia Cheng and Wang Lan don't dislike it, they can move in with a bed and live temporarily at any time.
Zhang Zhiyuan saw Xia Cheng getting out of the car and shouted excitedly: "Lao Xia, your health is finally better."
Xia Cheng smiled and said: "It's like walking away from the gate of hell."
"The house is almost ready for you to supervise. You can let them install the first floor for you first. It is estimated that you can move in by the Chinese New Year."
Wang Lan smiled and said gratefully: "Old Zhang, you have been really troublesome during this period. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know what to do with this newly built building in my house."
"Why are you being polite to me?"
Xia Ye had a good impression of Zhang Zhiyuan and helped their family a lot several times.
"Uncle Zhang, are you interested in the fish pond contracted by our family? My parents are moving to the city after the Chinese New Year, and the land and fish pond at home have to be contracted out. You have helped our family so much, If you are interested, the fish pond will be contracted to you, and you can just pay some money as you wish. The fish pond can be worth at least 18,000 yuan a year."
Zhang Zhiyuan said with some excitement: "Lao Xia, do you agree with this?"
Xia Cheng grinned and said, "I listen to our Xiaoye."
"That's it! If you all agree, then this fish pond will be contracted by our family. All my family's savings add up to three thousand yuan, do you think so?"
"You have been supervising our family for more than two months, and we cannot ask for this money. I can rest assured that the fish pond is contracted to you. Otherwise, if it is handed over to others, I will still worry about losing money."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled from ear to ear and said: "Lao Xia, you are so cheerful! Isn't your house just built? Why do you want to move to the city? Then won't this house be in vain?"
Xia Cheng said with a smile: "Let's rent out the newly built buildings then! I remember our village has been developed for tourism, right? There will definitely be people from outside our village coming to our village in the future, and the conditions of the newly built buildings are not bad. If you rent it out, you won’t be able to earn back your capital.”
Zhang Zhiyuan rolled his eyes and said: "Lao Xia, you have to build the house here and want to rent it out. I will let my old lady look after your house. Anyway, he is just sitting around at home when he has nothing to do."
Wang Lan smiled and said, "Okay! Your wife is honest and easy to get along with. Then if our building can be rented out in the future, we will have to ask for your help."
"Okay, okay, then this matter is settled."
Seeing that the fish pond and building at home have been taken care of, only the land at home is left and I don’t know what to do with it.
While Xia Cheng and Wang Lan were frowning, Xia Ye was eyeing the couple next door neighbors Wang Fugui and Li Haiyan.
Wang Fugui was seen with his hands in his sleeves, staring at Xia Ye's house.
Their family probably dreamed of occupying Xia Ye's land.
There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests.
Xia Ye decided to cheat them, oh no, sell it to them.
Arrive at the door of Wang Fugui’s house.
Wang Fugui saw Xia Ye shrinking his neck nervously, and quickly backed away: "Xia Ye, what do you want to do? We haven't had any plans for your fish pond recently."
He stared at Xia Ye, and then shouted into his bungalow: "My wife, come out quickly, the Xia family's son is coming to cause trouble!"
Li Haiyan, who was squatting behind the pot and lighting a fire, heard Wang Fugui's shout and quickly picked up the fire stick in his hand and ran out.
"What are you going to do?"
Xia Ye smiled and said, "I want to discuss with you and sell my land to you two."
