"My boss, I have some Polyporus cocos." Xi Niang wiped her forehead and took out a box of small items from the side.
"I forgot to mention what Zhou Luo picked up from outside earlier. I... sent it to that young master."
"I'll go."
Xu Mu reached out to take it. What happened a few days ago was still vivid in his mind. He was worried that Xi Niang would be insulted again after she left.
In front of the row of wooden houses, Wang Yun and Fan Gu went somewhere unknown, leaving only a wooden door ajar.
Holding the Polyporus, Xu Mu was a little bored. This was no different than running away. A seven-foot man had to worry about makeup and taking a hot bath with Polyporus.
After taking a few steps, Xu Mu heard the sound of splashing water.
A piece of linen covering was lifted by his hand and suddenly fell down.
As soon as the linen fell off, the wooden basin in front of him and the little scholar's naked back appeared in front of him.
"Fan Gu? What are you doing here!"
"Li Dawan, it's me." Xu Mu put Zhuling down and said in a sad tone, "Your back looks like it's powdered."
"Get out!" The little scholar just turned his head, his cheeks flushed, and he glared over fiercely, with tears in his eyes.
How can a man be so charming?
Xu Mu was stunned for a moment. He suddenly understood something. The little scholar in front of him was not a sissy, but was clearly a little girl.
"Get out! I'll kill you!"
Xu Mu woke up from a dream and hurriedly walked out. After walking for hundreds of steps, he sat down on a wooden bench in a somewhat embarrassed state.
"Xu Lang, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Xu Mu looked sad. If he knew that Li Dawan was a girl, he should have given in earlier.
"Xu Lang, you seem to be uncomfortable. I'll go make you a bowl of hot soup."
"Go ahead."
Xu Mu's tone was soft. Jiang Caiwei was probably the person who cared about him the most in this world.
When Jiang Caiwei walked away, Xu Mucai looked strange and raised his head to look forward.
At some point, Li Dawan had already walked out of the house and looked at Xu Mu with a look of gritted teeth.
Xu Mu was sure that as long as there were a few more thugs, Li Dawan would rush over, shouting and killing.
After rubbing his head, he hurriedly stood up and walked towards the wine shop.
There is nothing wrong with a gentleman avoiding disaster.
…
The distilled private wine cannot be sent to Wangzhou. At this moment, two to three hundred jars have been saved, filling the entire distillery.
"Master, do you want to brew more?" A village woman saw Xu Mu approaching and whispered hurriedly.
"How much food is left?"
"More than 300 jins of rice and more than 800 jins of miscellaneous grains."
"No more brewing for now." Xu Mu sighed. The world suddenly collapsed, and his private wine business suddenly stopped turning around.
There are two to three hundred jars on the left and right, which is completely enough for the next batch of private wine to be delivered.
It's better to keep the food for emergencies.
"First press the grain with hay. If you need to brew it later, my boss will tell you."
One day, Zhuangzi will have no way out, so food will be the top priority.
"Chen Sheng, how about the little racecourse?"
"Don't worry, boss. I've been able to bring back one or two horses every day for the past few days. As of now, there are almost twenty horses in the entire small horse farm." Zhou Luo said excitedly beside him.
According to Zhou Luo's idea, the horses in the small racecourse are not only used to carry goods, but also used to charge and kill the enemy.
"Master, there's someone knocking on the door!"
Xu Mu was startled, and hurriedly walked up to the arrow tower, looked down, and found about a dozen figures outside the village gate, half-kneeling in the mud, crying.
"Brother Mu, are you the poor people?"
If they are really poor people, there is no harm in recruiting them into the village. There is still plenty of food. Moreover, in the future, they can also serve as villagers and help protect the village.
But Xu Mu was willing to bet that these people in front of him were not kind-hearted and suffering people, but a bunch of chaotic people trying to rob the village.
Even though the big man at the head was still kneeling, his sleeves on both sides were stained with blood, and under his belt, there was a short stick wrapped in stone skin.
"And the kids."
Xu Mu had a cold face. Those children who followed him on the ground were nothing more than weapons that overflowed with sympathy.
"Brother Xu, they are pitiful. As a scholar, I can't bear to look at them."
God knows why Juventus is so crazy that they are still making a fuss about something like this.
"Don't open the door!" Xu Mu shouted coldly.
You Wencai, who had just walked to the door, was instantly kicked over by Chen Sheng. He howled in the mud for a while before getting up crying.
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the dense forest behind the forest road.
Many of the lurking figures had already revealed their heads, each holding a weapon, with a fierce glint in their eyes.
Whoosh!
Someone blew the whistle, and for a moment, a dozen figures kneeling outside the village stood up in a hurry, and together with the hundreds of people who rushed out of the woods, they gathered into a large group and continued walking to the next village.
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
If one were careless and allowed these hundreds of people to enter Zhuangzi, it would definitely be a disaster.
"From today on, no matter who wants to open the village, they must obtain the consent of my boss! Otherwise, they will be kicked out of the village!"
Ju Wencai, who was below, looked sad when he heard this. He didn't think so much just now. In fact, he just wanted to pretend to be a good guy.
"Chen Sheng, take some people to dig some long logs to block the village gate."
In a hurry, it was dark again.
Xu Mu did not dare to be careless. During this period, as the refugees besieged the city, the entire Wangzhou became more and more chaotic.
Even though it was night, I could still occasionally hear screams from passers-by, as well as roars one after another.
"My boss, here comes another group of people knocking on the door." Chen Sheng gritted his teeth, his face full of nervousness.
"Ignore it."
Bang——
A can of fire oil was thrown against the wooden wall, starting a fire.
"Keep the fire out."
Xu Mu frowned and raised his hand. Si Hu and another driver hurriedly picked up the two long logs behind the wooden wall and lifted them up——
A huge water-stained curtain was immediately wiped down, extinguishing the fire instantly.
Not long after, the world outside Zhuangzi quickly became quiet again.
"Mr. Xu Fang, no matter what, you must send us back to Wangzhou!" The little scholar led a group of people and walked over with an evil look in his eyes.
Xu Mu was surprised to find that this guy You Wencai had become the follower of the three scholars at some point. He smiled and kept saying nice things to Xu Mu.
"Brother Xu, these three are all scholars. They are my book friends. Give me some respect."
Xu Mu didn't even glance at Juventus. If possible, he would have thrown these three hot potatoes out earlier to avoid being scalded to death.
"I will keep an eye out for inquiries in the next few days. As soon as the refugees in Wangzhou are released, I will send you there immediately."
The little scholar was still unhappy, she was angry, she was annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.
"I don't care, I have to go back to Wangzhou within three days!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Mu frowned.
The little scholar gritted his teeth and said, "Does Master Xu not know? There are some scoundrels in this village, and sooner or later they will have rotten hearts and rotten livers!"
Xu Mu was stunned for a moment. He was really too lazy to continue chatting awkwardly, so he turned around and walked back. If he had a chance, he would just send these three people away.
"Chen Sheng, how are you doing with your longbow training?"
"I'm already familiar with it a lot, but my accuracy is still a bit off." Chen Sheng came over and spoke hurriedly.
"First practice how to draw a bow."
The most important thing about a longbow is not its aim. After all, unlike a small bow, it is used for aiming. Its real function is for projecting.
Xu Mu couldn't wait any longer. If there were enough people, a hundred long bows would be thrown out from the village, what a spectacular sight it would be.
