It is better to start a small business and make money happily.

She walked around her shop and looked at the yard behind her carefully. After she figured out what she would need to spend money on, she went to buy something with satisfaction.

She doesn't like to bargain when she goes shopping, and is willing to spend money on expensive, beautiful but impractical things.

Su Xiaomu now had a lot of money left in his pocket, and there was no need to compromise for five buckets of rice, so he went to a restaurant to eat generously in the evening.

She was satisfied with the meal and was ready to go home and sleep comfortably while carrying the packed pastries.

When she moved in on the first night, she bought a huge iron lock. When she was about to go to bed, she hung the iron lock on the door and kept the key close to her body.

After bathing and washing, she wrapped herself in her silk quilt and slept contentedly, but somehow she always felt that she was a little uneasy tonight.

She didn't hear the neighbor's dog barking, and she didn't even hear the wind blowing through the window very clearly.

And she didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt like she heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground outside, and the sound of dead branches and leaves being trampled to pieces.

"It's nothing... there are occasionally wild cats at night..."

She tried hard to convince herself that there was a curfew in the city and there were officials patrolling outside. Although she lived alone, she was much safer than before.

There are people out there protecting you, so there is no need to be afraid.

But with these words to convince herself, as the space became increasingly quiet and all she could hear was her own breathing and creaking sounds, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Countless terrifying conjectures were lingering in her mind. Her body wrapped in the quilt gradually became colder, her forehead seemed a little cold, and her palms were sweating uncontrollably.

Her brows were knitted into a ball, her eyes were staring in the direction of the door and window, and countless terrifying conjectures were swirling in her heart.

Suddenly a chill rushed up her spine, making her hair stand on end and her whole body trembling.

"Bang!"

There was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground outside. Su Xiaomu silently pulled out the dagger placed under the pillow, carefully lifted the quilt, put on her robe, and moved towards the door.

There are two porcelain bottles placed by the window, leaning against the window at the moment.

She took out the pieces of the porcelain bowl that she accidentally broke yesterday and laid them out under the windowsill, sprinkling a layer of salt crystals on top.

If someone comes, they will definitely be tricked!

Someone is eyeing her small yard and wants to rob it?

It seems that she has bought a lot of things in the past few days and has been targeted by people with malicious intentions.

After she had done all this, she held the dagger tightly in her hands and backed away from the door.

At this moment, she regretted why she didn't make some pepper spray or something like pepper spray and keep it close to her body.

She didn't know how many people were outside.

But the sound of tiptoeing towards her could be heard slowly getting louder.

She took small breaths to calm down.

There is a back door in her yard. There is no lock on it, it is just held up by a thick piece of wood. If she breaks out through the door now, she should be able to get help from her neighbor.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaomu's eyes flashed with determination, and then when the window was opened, he opened the door and ran to the back door without looking back.

For the first time, she felt that she could run so fast.

It was also the first time that I felt that people can burst out with such strong potential when they are forced into desperate situations!

The piece of wood that she had tried before and couldn't push open with all her strength was pushed down with a snap today.

Then she pushed open the back door and ran towards her neighbor's house while shouting for help at the top of her lungs!

"Uncle Zhang, help!"

An hour later.

Carrying a simple baggage, Su Xiaomu reluctantly checked into the inn where she had been staying before.

She was lucky. Uncle Zhang and his family ate too much tonight and couldn't sleep. They sat in the yard chatting and eating.

Hearing something coming from her side, everyone in the family came over to help.

They packed up the gangsters and sent them to the government in a short time. They also kindly invited her to stay at their house for one night.

However, Su Xiaomu really didn't want to disturb others, and her stay here tonight left some psychological shadow, so she declined Uncle Zhang's kindness in every possible way and went to the inn to rest.

She never returned to her small courtyard,

After returning from a trip to the government office, she decided to accept the official's suggestion and find a servant in Renyazi who knew martial arts to protect her.

After all, in this ancient time, she was alone, could do nothing but make money, and had no ability to protect herself. It was really easy for her to attract attention from others.

Without capable people to support her, she is a weak woman who is easily bullied by others.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaomu wanted to find servants more and more, so he stayed at Ren Yazi's place every day and selected servants who knew some martial arts.

And before she could pick out a suitable one, the day came when Gu Jingcheng finished his exam.

"That's all, that's it for today. If you, a newbie here again, want to pay more attention to me, please do the same as before."

Thinking that Gu Jingcheng was coming out, she really had to pick him up in person.

By the way, I want to ask him how he did in the exam and if he has a chance to win the position of leader.

Gu Jingcheng was so good at reading and writing so well, so she was really looking forward to his results.

From start to finish, they are still friends, although the two of them don't usually get along very well.

"Okay, after I've made my choice, I'll send someone to find the lady. It's still the same position as last time, right?"

Ren Yazi had a very good impression of Su Xiaomu.

Generous guests like her are rare in the whole city.

When it was time for students to leave the examination room, the examination room was crowded with people, and there were endless carriages coming and going. Su Xiaomu squeezed in for a long time without even getting in.

Finding a place with slightly fewer people, Su Xiaomu stood on tiptoes and stretched her neck to look for Gu Jingcheng's figure.

It took a long time before I saw Gu Jingcheng's figure in the crowd.

He was wearing a navy blue round-neck robe with Fang Sheng pattern, and a gray hairband hanging from his hair. His back was straight when he walked towards her.

Under the bright sunshine, Su Xiaomu felt the warmth of Gu Jingcheng for the first time.

"How did you do on the exam?"

She took his bundle from his hands and walked forward with him.

"Is life good here? I think many of them look pretty good when they come out... Although I haven't experienced it, but I think... it doesn't seem like that..."

Su Xiaomu felt that her taste changed a little as she said these words, as if she had just come out of prison.

So he immediately changed the subject awkwardly: "You should continue to stay in the inn you had before the list is released.

When I came here just now, I had already booked a room for you and ordered a table of your favorite dishes for you. You have been suffering there for several days, so you must make up for yourself when you come out."
