Xu Mu was sleeping on the wooden bed, thinking a lot at the moment. In his mind, Jiang Caiwei's thin figure often jumped 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 drive the pile!"
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 loud! 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 promising one's body to someone else. Xu Mu already had a maidservant and a wife, so it was impossible to make a promise, so he could only promise his body.
"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 lady 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 slowly filling his mind with clarity.
"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 a lot of 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 yes!" Xi Niang's face was overjoyed and she 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 you pick more hemp for me 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 just walked to the door with a blushing face.
Suddenly, another figure happened to walk over.
Xu Mu looked shocked. When he got up and walked away, he saw 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 bit cold tonight. I'm here to deliver the bedding." Jiang Caiwei stood with her head bowed, her hands holding the bedding seemed to be shaking uneasily.
Xu Mu cursed in his heart, "This extramarital affair is a real blow."
"Xiniang, you go back first."
Xi Niang, 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, but for the first time she didn't listen to Xu Mu's words, and still lowered her head.
"Xu Lang, it's going to get cold 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 fleeing, and she ran forward hastily.
…
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's voice came 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 approached with a deed.
Behind the big man, a dozen young men carrying long sticks also slowly approached, looking around cautiously.
Most of these people are martial artists, but in fact they are similar to escorts, delivering goods to their employer's doorsteps and earning some regular knife-edge money.
Xu Mu paid the balance generously, not forgetting to give a small bag of broken silver as a reward 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 knives."
"Drying the knife?" Xu Mu was startled.
"The bandits are showing off their knives, which means that there will be moves by big eaters in the near future, so the leaders in other places should not get close to grab food."
Old Beishan, the second king. Xu Mu frowned, and 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. After a while, it disappeared into the wild forest road.
"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 bandits on Laobei Mountain have 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 until he reached the small racecourse and stopped.
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 fierce 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's best not to even think about it.
In the past hundred years, the Beidi people have frequently won great victories in their confrontations with the Daji. One of the key reasons is that there are hundreds of good horse farms in the Beidi people's grasslands.
