"Don't worry, Aunt Ma. I've been repairing the courtyard these days, and it's almost done. When Zhang Waner delivers the bedding and cotton clothes, I will definitely not freeze to death."
"Speaking of that small courtyard, it is the closest to Yunlai Village. Yunlai Village is the richest of the several villages near us. Every household makes a living by growing cotton. It is usually exposed that they often bully other villages. If you take the small courtyard All the wasteland in front of us has been opened up, otherwise they will come and occupy it."
No one cares about the wasteland, but once it is opened up, people who can't reach it with eight poles want to get a piece of the pie.
"Will the government accept this matter?"
Aunt Ma shook her head: "It would be good if the government does not occupy it. It is simply impossible to imagine that the government will uphold justice."
Not to mention the backward ancient times, even in modern civilized societies, farming civilization is deeply rooted in the land of the Central Plains. With land and food, people have expectations and the country can develop stably.
"Aunt Ma, thank you for reminding me. I know it well."
After lunch, after waiting for almost half an hour, Zhang Waner's attendants delivered a cart of brand-new quilts and bedding.
The lady from the aristocratic family is really grand.
Niu Tangtang thought for a moment, took some fruits from the space, and then went out and handed them to the attendant who was about to leave: "Give them to your lady."
The attendant glanced at the ugly bundle and said coolly: "My lady, the food you eat is very expensive. What do you have in it?"
"What I have here is fruit. I guarantee that your lady has not eaten it. If she doesn't eat it, you can throw it away or eat it yourself." Anyway, as long as he delivers it to others, he can earn gold coins, so Niu Tangtang does not have to argue with the attendant. .
"Okay." The attendant reluctantly took the bundle and left in the carriage.
"Tangtang, can you go alone? Do you want me to send you off?" Caifeng ran out, hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, Tangtang. If I hadn't made a mistake while busy, I wouldn't have brought you any trouble."
"Caifeng, it's too late for me to thank you. How can I be angry with you?" Niu Tangtang pointed to a cart of things and said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten a cart of bedding and cotton clothes for nothing. By the way, your family Are there enough beddings for me to leave two beds?"
"That's enough, Tangtang, it will definitely be harder for you to live alone outside than for us." Caifeng took Niu Tangtang's hand, her eye circles instantly turned red, "It may not be as easy for us to meet in the future as before."
"It's okay. Once my courtyard is completely repaired and I've settled down, you can bring Tiedan as a guest."
"Okay, then I'll take you out of the village."
After parting ways with Caifeng, Niu Tangtang hummed a ditty and walked on the mountain road home.
Halfway through, a man jumped down from the big tree in front of him, which startled Niu Tangtang. He looked closely and saw that it was Shen Lang: "Are you following me?"
"Master is worried and asked me to protect the girl secretly."
Shen Lang replied and took the cart from Niu Tangtang: "You are quite powerful. You were able to escape unscathed in the face of so many people."
"Co-author, you hid in the dark and watched while I was arguing with them?"
"I wanted to show up, but I was afraid it would be self-defeating."
What he said made sense, and Niu Tangtang fell silent.
Because she was not familiar with Shen Lang, Niu Tangtang followed him, walking with her head lowered. As she walked, she saw something like a pair of legs in the bushes.
"Shen, Shen Lang, look over there, is there someone there?"
Shen Lang stopped, looked in the direction Niu Tangtang pointed, and parked the cart: "I'll go over and take a look."
Walking quietly into the bushes, Shen Lang was about to squat down to check, when he saw the man lying on the ground, jumping up, with a bloodthirsty murderous look in his eyes.
"not good."
Shen Lang screamed secretly and stood up in a hurry, but his arm was still cut by the sharp dagger in the opponent's hand.
"Shen Lang, get out of the way!"
Shen Lang turned around and saw Niu Tangtang picking up a quilt on the cart and rushing towards the assailant.
Overwhelmed by the overwhelming force, Niu Tangtang threw the assailant to the ground and sat down on him.
Shen Lang saw that the assailant was suffocated by the quilt, and while he was groaning, his limbs were thrashing around like a tortoise unable to turn over.
He couldn't help but swallow.
This person was injured to begin with, and if Niu Tangtang, who weighed about two hundred kilograms, pressed him like this, he would be disabled if not dead.
Feeling that there was no sound under his butt, Niu Tangtang moved his buttocks a little further.
Slowly lifting the quilt, he saw a young face with messy hair and blood on his mouth and nose.
"It's over. This kid won't be killed by me, right?"
Shen Lang checked the other party's pulse: "He's not dead, he just fainted."
Niu Tangtang raised his head and looked around: "There is no village in the front and no store in the back. How could he appear here?"
Shen Lang picked up the dagger that the other party dropped, looked at it carefully, and his expression changed.
"What's wrong?"
"This man is a killer."
"Killer?"
This was somewhat similar to his own profession. Niu Tangtang glanced at the other person and said, "Take him back."
"Miss Niu, he is a killer. Taking him back will definitely be a hidden danger."
"Then if I save his life, he will repay me. Besides, even if you and Xia Houyu are not here, you two adults can't beat a child?" Niu Tangtang rolled his eyes at Shen Lang and saw that he remained motionless. Kicked him, "Come and help."
Niu Tangtang's logic left Shen Lang speechless.
He could only accept his fate.
"this……"
Xia Houyu, who had been worried all day, was stunned when he saw that Niu Tangtang not only came back safely, but also brought someone back with him.
"Shen Lang said that he is a killer, and he has lived a life of licking the edge of a knife at a young age. It is really pitiful." Niu Tangtang shook his head and looked at Xia Houyu, "I would also like to trouble you and Shen Lang to deal with this child. I will prepare it. vulnerary."
"good."
When Shen Lang saw that his master didn't even say a word of objection, and his face had always been expressionless, his face became a little tense.
After entering the house, he told Xia Houyu what happened to Niu Tangtang in the village.
"Sure enough, the cowgirl is braver than I thought."
Shen Lang saw the suspicious smile on his master's lips, and his mind was a little confused: "Master, you have never been close to women before."
"Is there any connection between the two?" Xia Houyu looked puzzled, "I just admire the courage of the cow girl."
"That's it."
Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that after his master suffered emotional injury, he would not refuse anyone who came.
When the two of them were changing the boy's clothes, Niu Tangtang came in: "Okay, you can go out and leave the rest to me."
"Miss Niu, may I ask you, why did you bring this child back?" Xia Houyu walked to the door and turned around to ask.
"He's not a killer. If he's cured, he can help us look after our home. This way, we won't be afraid if anyone comes to trouble us."
Let a killer look after your home and care for your home?
Probably only Niu Tangtang can figure it out.
Compared to Shen Lang, who had various thoughts in his heart, Xia Houyu looked calm: "Okay, we are right outside the door, if you need help, just call.
