The night goes on.
Xu Mu was sleeping on the wooden bed, thinking a lot at the moment. In my mind, Jiang Caiwei's thin figure often skipped over.
With a silent sigh, Xu Mu turned the tung oil lamp weak and planned to take a rest.
When you are confused.
Xu Mu's arms went cold and he turned around, only to find that a graceful figure had appeared on the wooden bed.
Before he could speak, he was hugged tightly by the figure.
"Caiwei?"
No, Jiang Caiwei's shy temperament would definitely not be like this.
Pushing the figure away, Xu Mu hurriedly turned on the light and found that the person in front of him was actually Xi Niang.
"Dong, boss." Xi Niang's face turned red with embarrassment, and her voice became slightly trembling.
"Xiniang, what are you doing!"
"My boss! My boss! I've washed myself, I'm not dirty anymore! My boss, you can drive the piles!"
Xu Mu raised his eyes silently and found that Xiniang in front of him not only put on a red bag, but also wore a tulle. Under the light, she looked very charming.
"Master, I won't shout out! Others don't know!"
Xi Niang blushed and seemed to want to lie down.
He suddenly understood that Xi Niang was repaying her kindness.
In the thinking of the ancients, there was a saying of giving one's own body to each other. Xu Mu already had a maidservant and a wife, so it was impossible for him to marry her, so he could only marry her.
"Xiniang, get up quickly."
Xu Mu swallowed and finally suppressed the dirty thoughts in his heart.
If you say you are indifferent to the beautiful woman in front of you, that would definitely be a lie.
"Master, I'm not dirty. I washed myself several times."
"That's not what I meant." Xu Mu sighed and rubbed his forehead before the clarity slowly filled his mind.
"Xiniang, you don't have to be like this. I'm very grateful that you can come and help me with my work and bring many retail investors."
"My boss, it's because I dislike you. I won't tell anyone, and I won't tell anyone. I just want to repay my boss... Without my boss, the children would starve to death."
"Do you really want to repay me?"
"Of course!" Xi Niang looked overjoyed and was about to close her eyes and lie down again.
"Get up first..." Xu Mu felt helpless. If he continued like this, he would lose control sooner or later.
"If you want to repay me, how about helping me pick more hemp grass tomorrow?"
Hemp is picked to make long bow strings.
Although they have been picked in the past few days, the number is still too small.
"I, I listen to my boss."
Xiniang also understood that the young boss in front of her really didn't seem to have any intention of driving a pile. If he continued to waste his time, he would probably make him angry.
"Go back to the house and rest. Don't do this next time." Xu Mu said with a bitter smile.
"Listen, listen to my boss."
Wearing tulle, Xi Niang had just walked to the door with a blushing face.
Suddenly, another figure happened to come over.
Xu Mu looked shocked. When he got up and walked away, he found that it was Jiang Caiwei, a girl, standing awkwardly at the door holding a quilt.
Xi Niang was also stunned for a moment, not knowing how to explain.
"Xu, Xu Lang, it's a little cold tonight. I'm here to deliver the bedding." Jiang Caiwei stood with her head bowed, her hands holding the bedding seeming to tremble uneasily.
Xu Mu cursed in his heart. This extramarital affair was a real blow.
"Xiniang, you go back first."
Xiniang, who was standing uneasily, ran forward in a panic with a very guilty look on her face.
"I didn't do anything." Xu Mu coughed, thinking that he still needed to explain.
"Xu Lang, the slave family is not angry. The slave family is just a maidservant who has escaped. The slave family is very grateful that Xu Lang can take her in." Jiang Caiwei still lowered her head and did not dare to raise it.
"I really didn't do anything."
"Whether Xu Lang takes a concubine or seeks pleasure, the slave family will not be angry. The slave family is just a maidservant and will serve Xu Lang well in the future."
"You raise your head first."
Jiang Caiwei trembled, and for the first time she didn't listen to Xu Mu's words, but still lowered her head.
"Xu Lang, it's going to be freezing tonight. I put the bedding away and went back."
Xu Mu's heart felt astringent.
There was clearly a cry in Jiang Caiwei's voice.
After a moment of silence, Xu Mu gave in.
Jiang Caiwei held the quilt and still bowed her head tightly. When she put the quilt down and turned her head, her eyes were already red.
Before Xu Mu could take a second look, he lowered his head again.
"Xu, Xu Lang, the slave family is leaving first."
"I didn't do that...forget it, you have a good rest."
Jiang Caiwei's figure seemed to be running away, and she ran forward in a hurry.
…
The spring rain continued continuously, and before it cleared up for two days, it fell without any scruples, dyeing the world around Zhuangzi into a large wet area.
"Master, the grain truck is here!" Zhou Luo shouted from the arrow tower.
Si Hu hurriedly pushed open the farm door, and not long after, a dozen carriages loaded with grain filed in.
"Who is Master Xu?" A middle-aged man carrying an iron rod on his back approached with a deed.
Behind the big man, more than ten young men carrying long sticks also slowly approached, looking around cautiously.
Most of these people are martial artists, but in fact they are like escorts, delivering goods to their employer's doorsteps and earning some regular money.
Xu Mu paid the balance generously, not forgetting to tip a small bag of broken silver and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"Master Xu has been more careful recently." After collecting the money, the middle-aged man's tone became gentle.
"How to say?"
"When I was passing by the south side of Laobei Mountain with the car, I found bandits drying their knives."
"Drying the knife?" Xu Mu was stunned.
"The bandits are showing off their knives, which means that there will be big eaters in the near future, so the leaders in other places should not get close to grab food."
Lao Beishan, the second king. Xu Mu frowned. The target of his sword was undoubtedly his Xujiafang.
"Having said this, Master Xu Fang must pay attention."
"Thank you, good man."
The middle-aged man nodded, and after unloading the food, he led the convoy out of Zhuangzi and disappeared into the wild forest road not long after.
"Chen Sheng, let's move the grain to the barn first."
"Don't worry, boss."
Xu Mu turned back and moved forward, his brows furrowing even more tightly.
The group of bandits on Laobei Mountain has become a mountain weighing on his chest.
Now we are protected by Zhuangzi, but in the future, those who collect grain and deliver wine cannot hide in Zhuangzi all their lives.
"Si Hu, when Chen Sheng and the others finish their work, call over to the small horse farm."
"What are you going to do, Brother Mu?"
"Teach you how to ride a horse to kill the enemy."
"ha?"
Xu Mu didn't say much and continued walking forward, stopping only when he reached the small racecourse.
In front of him, there were thirteen old horses that had been unloaded from their carriages and were running happily around the entire small horse farm on ladders.
Xu Mu looked at it with a pity expression on his face.
It's a pity that they are just old horses. If they are the kind of strong horses that can go on the battlefield, they are called real good horses.
However, according to Daji's market price, a better and more powerful horse would cost at least a hundred taels. With his current net worth, it was best not to even think about it.
In the past hundred years, the Beidi people have frequently won great victories in their confrontations with Daji. One of the key reasons is that there are hundreds of good horse farms in the Beidi people's grasslands.
