The next few days were uneventful.
Xiang Nan was busy working in the inn during the day, and when he had time, he asked the scholar to teach him how to read and write.
In fact, Xiang Nan was good at writing, and he was much better than Lu Xiucai in terms of poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But Li Dazuo couldn't read, his pole was lying on the ground, and he didn't know how to read a word. So he suddenly became a literary giant, with a wealth of knowledge and a wealth of work. Anyone could see that it was inappropriate.
So he could only pretend to be illiterate, starting from the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and Thousand Character Literature.
"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart. If you don't teach, your nature will change. The way to teach is to be specialized..." Xiang Nan held the book and shook his head while reciting.
"Big mouth, that's ok. You've only studied for a few days and you can already memorize the Three-Character Sutra." Guo Furong couldn't help but said in surprise when she saw that Xiang Nan recited the words correctly and fluently without stuttering. .
"Because I want to cherish the learning opportunities I have now. I wanted to study before, but my family had no money. Now that I finally have some money, of course I can't slack off anymore," Xiang Nan explained.
"Okay, Big Mouth, let's give him a very warm applause." Upon hearing this, Tong Xiangyu clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Xiao Bei, you must learn from Uncle Big Mouth in the future and stop being lazy."
"I know, sister-in-law." Mo Xiaobei nodded.
…
In addition to reading and practicing calligraphy, Xiang Nan also did not forget to practice martial arts.
Storming Wave Palm, Flame Knife, Finger Flick Magical Power, Widow's Sword Technique, each martial arts requires accumulated practice over a long period of time in order to achieve the state of being able to do whatever you want and integrate them.
Therefore, he would practice every night when he went home, regardless of wind or rain, cold or heat.
Every bit of hard work is rewarded. With his hard work, his martial arts has naturally improved significantly.
Not to mention anything else, he has already reached the third level when it comes to the flame knife. Under the movement, his hands were as hot as a soldering iron. If you place it in a basin of cold water, you will have a basin of boiling water in a matter of seconds.
Such martial arts can be called a magical skill.
Seeing that Xiang Nan had mastered the flame sword to the third level in just one month, Yang Huilan couldn't help but admire him even more.
It took her more than two years to get the secret book of "Flaming Knife" and practice hard day and night, only to reach the second level. In comparison, Xiang Nan is truly a martial arts wizard.
…
In terms of daily life, there are now six maids serving Xiang Nan's family.
Four of the maids serve the big-mouthed lady. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, and toilets are all served carefully and thoughtfully.
The big-mouthed girl is naturally very satisfied.
She never dreamed that her son would be so promising that she could live a good life even when she was old.
Two maids served Yang Huilan, Sai Diaochan and Xiao Cui.
Yang Huilan changed the names of the two of them. Sai Diaochan was renamed Jixiang, and Xiaocui was renamed Ruyi. Every now and then, she would set rules for them, either making them stand or kneeling.
Yang Huilan is smart and ruthless. She doesn't even take killing people seriously, so she can easily deal with two weak women.
In less than half a month, Sai Diaochan and Xiao Cui were trained by her to be obedient. Even Xiang Nan admires her shrewdness and determination.
…
During this half-month period, Tongfu Inn also helped Lao Luo solve the problem of selling chickens. …
But unlike the Chicken King Competition in the play, Tongfu Inn bought it directly.
It is now the largest restaurant within a hundred miles, with as many as six to seven hundred diners coming and going every day. Although three hundred chickens may sound like a lot, they are only enough for three or four days.
So there was no need to hold a chicken king contest, the diners alone ate all the chickens.
Without the Chicken King Competition, there would be no chicken stealing. Naturally, Xing Captou and Yan Xiaoliu would not be able to practice the eight methods to prevent theft. For everyone in Tongfu Inn, it was a lucky escape.
…
In the next few days, heavy rain fell continuously in and around Qixia Town.
Heavy rain caused Cuiwei Mountain to collapse, blocking the Xiliang River.
The river was blocked, and the sewers in several towns along the coast were also blocked.
With the sewer blocked, domestic sewage cannot be discharged and can only be left to rot and ferment in the town. This makes several towns along the coast stinky, filthy and unbearable.
Fortunately, Lou Zhixian received donations from Xiang Nan a few days ago and has more than two thousand taels of silver on hand. Coupled with donations from many merchants, we finally collected four thousand taels of silver and are organizing manpower to dredge the river.
However, the river is so clogged that it cannot be cleared in a day or two, so it will still stink for a while.
And because of the unpleasant smell in the town, the business of Tongfu Inn was affected. After all, in such a smelly environment, few people can have a good appetite.
Since there were few people eating, Xiang Nan had a lot of extra time. However, he was not idle, but was even busier than before.
Because he wants to catch the tomb robber Lei Laowu.
There is a tomb of King Xin in Taiping Mountain, where Zhu Youjian, King Xin of the Ming Dynasty, was buried.
In the world where "Wulin Gaiden" is set, there is a big gap between history and reality.
In the history of "Wulin Gaiden", the Qing soldiers did not successfully enter the pass. In the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army defeated the main force of Houjin and achieved a decisive victory, strangling the newly rising Houjin in the cradle.
Therefore, history has changed, and today the world is still dominated by the Ming Dynasty. The emperor was Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang, and King Xin Zhu Youjian was his cousin. He was buried in Taiping Mountain after his death.
No one originally knew he was buried here. Unexpectedly, heavy rain for days caused Cuiwei Mountain to collapse, exposing the underground palace in Taiping Mountain, thus attracting tomb robbers.
Lei Laowu comes from a family of tomb robbers, and his descendants have made a living by robbing tombs for generations, so he will definitely get wind of it.
Once the tomb of King Xin is stolen, the government and the public will be shaken. In the play, Liu Shilang of the Ministry of War, a dignified third-rank official, personally led a team to investigate, which shows that the court attached great importance to it.
If the eucalyptus cannot be broken, then Magistrate Lou will be in trouble. The inability to guard the royal tomb led to the tomb being stolen, and the bones of the royal descendants exposed in the wilderness. The crime of deceiving the emperor was absolutely inevitable.
At that time, being dismissed from office was a trivial matter, and it could be beheaded or decapitated if things went wrong.
Xiang Nan didn't want anything to happen to Lou Zhixian, so he had to arrest Lei Laowu.
…
Xiang Nan came to Taiping Mountain.
After searching carefully, I finally saw the hole dug by Lei Laowu in a tree hole behind the mountain.
I saw that this robbery hole was only as thick as the mouth of a bowl. Xiang Nan tried it, but couldn't even put his head in, so he had to admire Lei Laowu's bone-shrinking skills. It was really a unique skill.
After finding the robbery hole, Xiang Nan conducted careful surveys and determined that the hole should have been dug by Lei Laowu.
Because the soil at the entrance of the cave is still new, it doesn't look like it was dug out for a few days. And if you listen carefully along the entrance of the cave, you can even hear the sound of Chacha coming from inside. I guess it is Lei Laowu who is digging.
"Okay, it's better to come early than to come by chance. I'll just sit back and wait for the rabbit." Xiang Nan jumped up to the treetop, closed his eyes and practiced his internal skills, and waited quietly for Lei Laowu to appear.
