Tie Mo smiled bitterly at Zhou Dingshan, "Dingshan, what's going on? Why is there such a small baby on the mountain?"
"I'm not young anymore... I can do laundry, cooking, and everything..."
Zhou Dingshan looked at the little girl and shook his head sadly, "It's strange, I haven't seen her before when we were clearing the place."
"Hey, little girl, what's the matter with you?"
The little girl's dark eyes widened, she hid back and pointed at Zhou Dingshan, "You are the most vicious person, you are the one who kills the most people. Grandpa Zhao just wants to avoid you..."
Zhou Dingshan's handsome face turned dark immediately, but he couldn't be serious with a yellow-haired girl.
"Who is Grandpa Zhao?"
The little girl's attitude towards Tie Mo was quite good, and she told everything about what happened before.
The little girl was kidnapped when she went to Zhangjiakou with her adoptive father a month ago. She met an old man named Zhao in the cave. The old man named Zhao liked the little girl very much and taught her how to fake death in order to escape from Mantou Mountain.
.
Unfortunately, the two of them were not familiar with Mantou Mountain and could not escape for a while. Later, they encountered Tie Mo leading his troops to attack Mantou Mountain.
Both sides killed heads in Mantou Mountain, and blood flowed into rivers. The old man and the young man hid in a shady cave, and they did not dare to come out.
Old man Zhao fell ill in the past two days, so the little girl sneaked out alone to find food.
The little girl's name was Xiaoxiao, given by her adoptive father. While they were talking, everyone found the remote and cool cave. Seeing that the old man was so sick that he was unconscious, they quickly asked Zhou Dingshan to carry him to the village for treatment.
"Xiaoxiao, why didn't you come out earlier to find someone for help?"
"Grandpa Zhao said, I don't know if you are good people or bad people!"
"Then why are you willing to say it now?"
Xiaoxiao grabbed Tie Mo's belt and pouted softly, "Nu Nu is a good judge of people. You are a good person at first glance."
"Am I a good person?" Tie Mo was stunned for a moment, then winked at Chang Minyue and laughed, "Yes, I am a good person, a very good person."
Chang Minyue suddenly felt unhappy, limping and frowning, "Does this young lady look like a bad person?"
"Yes, you are the bad guy!"
"You stinky girl, you really should have been beaten by Ah Kuan just now!" Chang Minyue couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth and scolding with a smile.
........
"Big brother, Nunu is hungry..."
"Xiaoxiao, can you stop talking like a slave every time? It sounds so awkward!"
"The adoptive father said that when he meets someone, he must call himself Nunu. The adoptive father is a bad guy. If Nunu doesn't follow him to Zhangjiakou!"
"Ha, you're not old, but you know a lot!" Tie Mo held his chin, thought carefully, and said with a strange smile, "How about I change your name? How about Nunu?"
The little girl tilted her head and nodded her temple, "Nu Nu?"
"It's Nunu, hard work, which means work hard and try harder!"
"Is that so? This is a good name. Nunu will be called Nunu from now on!"
"..."
It seems that I really can't change my words for a while.
After staying in the hall for a while, Chang Minyue dragged Nunu to the attic at the back and forced the little girl to take a bath.
When Chang Minyue came back, she was holding in her hand a little girl carved in pink and jade, with long hair combed into a ponytail, a fair face, and a pair of lively eyes.
Although she is still young, she can tell at a glance that she is definitely a top-notch beauty.
"Nunu is such a great little beauty, let's follow my sister from now on!"
Nunu took out her hand, ran up two steps, hugged Tie Mo's neck, and looked at Chang Minyue warily, "I won't follow you!"
Chang Minyue smiled bitterly and shook her head. She really didn't understand. How could this girl know that Tie Mo was a good person?
Perhaps because of being too tired, Nunu soon fell asleep on Tie Mo's lap. She didn't know what the little girl was dreaming about, with a smile on her face and drool at the corner of her mouth.
At this time, no one was disturbing the hall, and Tie Mo chatted with Chang Minyue about his thoughts on land reclamation.
Chang Minyue listened quietly, and then looked at the other person with strange eyes, "I really don't know what is going on in your head. Do you think that if you can establish a foothold in Mantou Mountain, you can go to Zhangbei?"
"Go to Zhangbei to open up wasteland. Let's not talk about the big trouble of the Mongols. Just one Yehu Ridge is enough to cause a headache."
"What if I can keep peace in Zhangbei?" Tie Mo looked serious.
Chang Minyue couldn't help but take it seriously. She dragged her chin and thought about it carefully, then nodded lightly, "If you can ensure peace in Zhangbei, then there will be no problem in opening up wasteland. There are 100,000 acres of fertile land in Zhangbei Plain.
Once crops are planted, how many people can be fed?"
"Since you also think this matter is profitable, why don't we cooperate again?"
"How to cooperate?"
"With your help, we will join forces with other companies to buy a large area of wasteland in Zhangbei. The land there is now vacant. It turns out that most of the gentry in Zhangbei are staying in Zhangjiakou and Datong Prefecture. They have the land deed and are unable to sell it.
If we buy it now, it will definitely be very cheap."
Chang Minyue couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "It's cheap, but if the situation in Zhangbei cannot be improved, land reclamation will be empty talk, and the purchased land deed will be just a pile of waste paper."
"It depends on whether you believe me or not. At least, I am confident that I can ensure that the situation in Zhangbei will be improved."
"You have really posed a problem for me. Naturally, I trust you more, but it would be a bit troublesome to convince the others. Besides, my father and brother may not support me in doing this."
Tie Mo curled his lips and smiled, "Risk and return are directly proportional. I believe that as long as you, Miss Chang, are willing to cooperate, it shouldn't be a problem for us to work together to buy the entire Zhangbei wasteland, right?"
"Huh, Tie Hanxiong, it seems that you have already set your sights on my private properties."
"Hey, Miss Chang, do you want to do this business?"
"Do it! However, I can't guarantee that our two families will have enough money!"
"Don't worry, I have a way to turn the land deeds in the hands of those gentry into waste paper. No matter how low the price we offer, they will still be willing to sell it!"
Seeing Tie Mo's confident look, Chang Minyue was curious as to what trick he was going to use.
...
At night, the old man named Zhao finally woke up. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to scold Tie Mo bloody.
"You butcher, what do you want to do by bringing me here? I tell you, I have nothing but these old bones..."
"Old man, what are you talking about? I am saving you. Do you think I am a bad person?"
"Bad people still carve words on their foreheads?"
"You should drink the porridge first. As you said, you are an old man. What else can I do to you? Are you still afraid of death?"
"Afraid of death?" Old man Zhao stared, grabbed the bowl and drank the porridge.
"Hey, I'm not afraid of death the most. If you have any other tricks, feel free to use them!"
Tie Mo's hands trembled in anger, and he really wanted to throw the old man out. What had this old man experienced in the first half of his life? Why didn't anyone look like a good person?
Thinking of the innocent and lovely Nunu behind him, Tiemo decided to endure it for now and send the old man out of Mantou Mountain in two days when he recovered.
"You old man should eat and drink. When your body and bones are healed, you can leave."
"You let me go? Are you going to lie?" Old Man Zhao rolled his eyes, obviously not believing it.
"Why are you lying to me? Why do I need you as an old man? Can you mine? Or do you know how to mine? If you stay here, I will think you are wasting food!"
Tie Mo picked up Nunu and walked out. As he walked, he whispered: "Nunu, you can see, there is something wrong with the old man's head."
"Grandpa Zhao is a good man!"
"Then I'm a bad person?"
"You are a good person too!"
"Then which one of us is better?"
"Oh, the stars in the sky are so beautiful, twinkling and shining!"
