Li Liang did not expect that Lu Dabao's family would be so far away from "Fuyu Town" that it would take a month and a half to take a car ride, and it was estimated that it would take more than two months to go, and he left behind three children whose oldest was only 13 years old and the youngest who was only 6 years old.
"Old Gan, this is my eldest child, called Lu Jin, thirteen this year. That is the second son of my family, named Lu Cheng, who is ten years old this year. There is also that, it is the daughter of my family, named Lu Xiang, who is six years old this year, hehe......" In the small courtyard of the Lu family, Lu Dabao and Li Liang watched everyone carry things from the convoy together, and said beautifully.
"Owner, aren't you afraid of letting three such young children stay home alone?" Li Liang hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't get rid of the doubts in his heart, so he asked.
"Afraid, what are you afraid of?" Lu Dabao was stunned by the question, but asked Li Liang a little inexplicably.
"It's such a big baby, even if you don't have to worry about bad people, aren't you afraid of a fierce beast attack?" Li Liang stomped his foot and said.
"Fierce, fierce beasts, there are no fierce beasts near my house!" Lu Dabao saw that Li Liang was in a hurry, and immediately panicked again. He has now fallen into "Li Liang's phobia", everything Li Liang said and asked, if he couldn't do it, he would panic immediately if he couldn't answer it, which was faster than having a stroke.
"Then, aren't you afraid that they will fall into the well or something?" Li Liang swallowed his saliva and asked as he found a safety hazard.
"But, my family doesn't have a well! My family drinks spring water, the kind that gushes out directly. Lu Dabao saw Li Liang glaring and stomping his feet, and his body couldn't help but swing.
"What about the fire, aren't you afraid that they will burn themselves?" Li Liang was very unwilling, and said after a moment of silence.
"I, there is a vein of fire under my house, so I don't need to raise the fire! As long as I dig some big pits along the vein of fire and put a big pot on it, I can cook!" Lu Dabao was about to tremble, and his heart was confused, this old man was very good all the way, why did he change as soon as he entered the house? Could it be that he wanted to kill people and extinguish his mouth? Then the environment of their family is too suitable.
"Damn, isn't it? The place your family chose is awesome enough! Hey, wouldn't your great-grandfather also learn feng shui for a few days?" Li Liang was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the place chosen by Lu Dabao and his family would be so convenient, not to mention ancient times, even if it is modern, I'm afraid there are not many places that can compare.
"Ah, what do you mean?" Lu Dabao was dumbfounded, what kind of problem is this, which of my great-grandfathers has never learned feng shui, you go and ask him, what are you doing to scare me like this?
"Hehe, hey, I said the owner, the more I look at my little daughters-in-law, the more pleasing it is, and the environment of your family is also quite good, why don't we change the contract?" Li Liang smiled sheepishly, then put his arm around Lu Dabao's shoulders and said teasingly.
"Change, change the contract, old, old man, you can just say what you want, don't always make it mysterious, I'm so scared that I'm about to pee my pants......" Lu Dabao opened his mouth and was stunned for a while, and finally simply closed his eyes and said very simply.
"Ahh What's that, owner, we used to sign a three-year contract, I think it's a bit short, let's change it for five years, okay? I will give you the fifty taels of gold, which is considered liquidated damages, what's the matter?" Li Liang pursed his lips, let go of his hand and said.
"What? I heard you right?" Lu Dabao's heart was about to turn into a pot of porridge, and he didn't understand what new tricks Li Liang was playing.
"Why, you don't want to?"
"Willing is willing, but I'm panicking in my heart, and I don't know the bottom!"
"Why is there no bottom again?"
"I've never seen someone who sticks money to be a slave, it's not ......"
"Uh......"
In the imperial study of "Wu Xingguo", an old man in the twilight of the five-clawed golden dragon imperial robe stood in front of a portrait with his hands behind his back, and behind him stood respectfully two old men of the same age, one of whom was wearing beautifully woven battle armor, and the other was dressed as a civil official.
"Liang Qing, do you say that I am right or wrong to do this?" After a long time, the old man in the imperial robe said hoarsely.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember why I, Wu Xingguo, founded the country?" the old man seemed to have thought about it, and bowed down after listening to his question.
"Immortal Treasure 'Blood Tooth Rice'. The old man in the imperial robe turned his head, stared straight at him, and said word by word.
"That's right, it's the immortal treasure 'Blood Tooth Rice'. Your Majesty, our ancestors have gone through more than 30 years and hundreds of large and small wars to open a national business here, some of which are inevitably conspiracy and strategy used properly, and some of them are brave soldiers who have piled up their bones, but if there is no immortal treasure 'blood tooth rice', how can our ancestors defeat the powerful family clan? How can we gain a foothold in this place?" The old man of the civil official met his gaze and said without flinching.
"Hey, but the widows and families of more than 100 heroes have been quietly wiped out like this, and I can't bear it!" the old man in the imperial robe sighed.
"Your Majesty, as the so-called people who achieve great things do not live in small ways, sacrificing them can be exchanged for the magnificent rise of my Wu Xingguo, and the blessings and health of future generations, which is right and which is the other, you have to think twice!"
"Lao Qing, do you also agree with Liang Qing's opinion?" The old man in the imperial robe was stunned when he heard this, and asked in some surprise.
"The emperor is too worried, although the old minister and King Liang's political views are very different, but it is related to the lifeblood of the country, and the old minister can still see right and wrong. The old man in armor clasped his fists with both hands and said very solemnly.
"But, what about the punishment that day?" The old man in the imperial robe stretched out his hand to help him, and then looked at the old civil official on the side, and frowned tightly.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, do you still remember the legacy left by your ancestors? Immortals, people, too! Since they are human beings, what are we afraid of? But if anyone dares to bully, as long as they spend some wealth and treasures to hire some supernatural powers to kill them, won't they be able to do it?" The old man in armor smiled faintly and said very heroically.
"Zhao Qing said it easily, but how can the treasures they need be provided by mortals like me?" the old man in the imperial robe shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, although what King Zhao said is a bit too simple, the truth is right. If they are really immortals, why do they need to live on a continent with mortals like us? On the other hand, since they live on this continent, then there will definitely be what they want here, and with my Wu Xingguo's current strength, the immortals of Tongtian may not be satisfied, but generally, hehe......" The old man of civil officials and the old man in armor glanced at each other, and said.
"Liang Qing, although what you said makes sense, how do you know which immortal came to my Wu Xingguo to send down heavenly punishment?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister has been in charge of the ministry for many years, and this small official fools the big official, and he has seen too much officialdom in front of him and behind his back. Those high-ranking immortals, since they are also people, it is estimated that the cats in them are not too much, as long as the gifts we give are enough, it is not that we can let whoever we want to come? Money can make ghosts grind, if we can take out a thousand years of herbs, ten thousand years of herbs, I am afraid that the gods will have to obediently grind. The old civil official smiled sheepishly.
"I hope so! Since the two Aiqing have jointly played, then I will make an exception and grant your invitation. However, the chosen people must be strictly guarded, and do not let the 'Bloody Tooth Rice' be left in the people, remember, remember! Okay, I'm a little tired, you can step down. The old man in the imperial robe thought for a while, and finally said a little tiredly.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" the two old men hurriedly knelt down in the tunnel when they heard this. Then, with their heads bowed, they slowly exited the imperial study.
"Hmph! They keep saying that they are for the lifeblood of the country, but in fact they are not trying to win the country? Grandfather Huang, what you said is indeed right, the most difficult thing in this world to believe is the people's hearts! It is difficult to open the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country!" Soon after the two left, the old man in the imperial robe stomped his foot heavily and said indignantly.
When they are busy, time always flies very quickly, and it has been nearly half a year since Li Liang and others lived in the Lu family. During this time, Li Liang planned and worked on it himself, new land was developed, new houses were built, new grain was planted, and a new life began.
Li Liang and Lu Dabao signed a new contract for five years, replacing the previous three-year contract, at the cost of fifty taels of gold. Not to be outdone, Silly Niu'er and his sister Jasmine also signed a new contract with Lu Dabao, also replacing a three-year period with a five-year period, at the cost of a priceless night pearl. There are also Tianma brothers and sisters who sold for a piece of jade Linglong, and Nansheng brothers and sisters who sold for a giant ruby.
Lu Dabao originally thought that only Li Liang lacked heart and eyes, and he was a slave to others and paid money, but he didn't expect that these masters recruited were all virtuous, crying and shouting to be a slave for him, and also pasted quite awesome treasures, if you don't want it, it will make this owner like Parkinson's, and the two ends of the three days will tremble and swing sick, as long as any of them have a louder voice, Comrade Lu guarantees that he will tremble like electricity.
"Boss, have you noticed that the old man is not quite right? I have been looking at him a little weird these days, why do you listen to everyone?" It was late at night, and Lu Dabao's daughter-in-law saw her husband sitting in the small courtyard drinking alcohol, so she quietly leaned over and whispered.
As soon as Lu Dabao heard this, the anger that had been held in his heart for a long time finally couldn't be suppressed, and he scolded viciously with big eyes: "Loser, what the hell are you doing? Recruit people, recruit people, recruit people! Let you buy donkeys instead of recruiting people, now it's beautiful, right? Recruit all the troubles of his mother!"
"What are you yelling about, the babies are all sleeping......" Lu Dabao's daughter-in-law was startled when she saw this, and hurriedly said timidly.
"Phew, you don't talk about the baby! Those few losers are not fuel-efficient lamps, people give some benefits, and they don't even know what his father's name is, I should have thrown them into the river to feed Wang Ba when I was born!" Lu Dabao spat out thick phlegm and gritted his teeth.
"Why are you talking? They are not your species? I worked hard to raise them to adulthood, why are they still guilty, woo woo......" Lu Dabao's daughter-in-law stopped doing it when she heard this, and her eyes cried directly.
"Hey, why are you crying! I'm not talking angry!" Lu Dabao saw that his daughter-in-law was angry and cried, and the original anger suddenly turned into invisible, only an indescribable bitterness was still tossing and turning in his heart.
"Boss, I know that you are upset, so I came to talk to you, but, who would have thought that you would be so annoyed that you would even scold me! Woo woo...... "Lu Dabao's daughter-in-law felt very aggrieved, obviously she came to enlighten you Lu Dabao, but she didn't let her say anything, and she was beaten by a bullshit bear, what is this called!"
"Hey, baby damn, in fact, I'm not targeting you, but this thing is not good!" Lu Dabao sighed and said: "How powerful that old man is, maybe others can't see it, but I can see it clearly." He said that he was hunting, but the salt of the wild boar that he brought back was all in the bones, and you often stewed meat, you know, if you don't marinate the wild boar for a month, how can you let the salt taste into the bones?"
He also said that he was a blacksmith, but I had never seen such a stupid blacksmith, he couldn't even beat a hoe, and what kind of blacksmith genius was he in Europe! ā
"On the contrary, it is the ability of this kind of land, when my great-grandfather left the capital, it was a lot of farming classics, although I was illiterate in my life, but the skills were passed down from my ancestors, absolutely first-class Wow!
"In addition, the five acres of medicinal fields he cultivated, saying that he planted some worthless herbs, but the fragrance of this medicine has drifted out for more than ten miles, can the worthless medicine be so fragrant? I, the master who has been planting the land for half my life, can't grow it, how can he, a person who doesn't know how to farm at all, grow it? But in fact, people not only grow it, but they also plant it very well, what does this mean? It shows that people are masters of farming!"
"However, although I can see it, I can't say it. That old man has a good character, if it weren't for the little daughter-in-law, he wouldn't have gotten to this point. His little daughter-in-law, Mint, knew at a glance that she was a child of an aristocratic family, and she was estimated to be the descendant of the royal family of which country. ā
"And Lao Gan, it is estimated that she is her personal guard, and the two of them fled all the way and fell here, so there is so much gold on their bodies, which should be brought out of the palace when they fled for their lives. As for robbing thousand-year-old ginseng, robbing the landlord's old wealth or something, maybe there is or maybe not, it doesn't matter. ā
"Dang, in charge, how can you tell that he is a guard?" Lu Dabao's daughter-in-law was dumbfounded, she didn't expect that her husband, who was wilting and sloppy, would actually analyze the head of Dao'er.
"Hey, have you ever seen a farmer, or a blacksmith, who got up early in the morning and played boxing first?" Lu Dabao glanced at her and said lightly.
"That's right, although the movement is a little slower, but that's a boxing technique!" Lu Dabao's daughter-in-law suddenly realized, staring at Lu Dabao with starry eyes and said.
"Hehe, as for the matter of farming, I guess there should be a master who has instructed him and warned him that if something happens to the palace, he will run to a place where there is no one with mint, and with his amazing farming skills, he will not starve to death anywhere!" Lu Dabao twisted the sparse beard on his chin and said with a chattering voice.
"In charge, then he is in our house, we won't be in trouble, right?" Lu Dabao's daughter-in-law was nervous when she heard this, and an unprecedented uneasiness and panic gathered and breeded.
"Hey, what can we do if we are in trouble? We have spent all the money of other people, and we can't let people live with us, can we do it?" Lu Dabao sighed again and said with emotion.
"Cut, and say me, I only spent fifty taels, but you spent one hundred taels!" Lu Dabao's daughter-in-law pursed her mouth and said a little unconvinced.
"Hey, stupid woman, how can there be my one hundred taels in the back without your fifty taels in front? Besides, how much difference do you think there is between fifty taels and one hundred and fifty taels? Don't forget, that's gold, gold! Don't say one hundred and fifty taels, it's one tael and five, how long do you think it will take for our family to pay it back?" Lu Dabao took a sip of wine and said bitterly.
"When, in charge, then what do you say!" Lu Dabao's daughter-in-law was completely panicked, and she was a little embarrassed when she spoke.
"What can I do, what can I do, bear it! Five years, five years, in these five years, people are the owners, we are slaves, hey............" Lu Dabao took another sip of wine, and said with a sad expression: "Didn't you see that I didn't care about anything except planting that acre of 'fairy grain'?
"This, can this work?" Lu Dabao's daughter-in-law still felt uncertain, so she asked again.
He said he wanted to plant sorghum, so he let him plant sorghum, he said he wanted to plant rice, we let him plant rice, he said he wanted to plant water ling, we let him plant water ling, as long as he could manage our full meals, ask so much what to do. Okay, let's rest early, tomorrow I have to see those cows, eat those alfalfa grass that I have been doing, I don't know if there will be any diseases, those cows are the treasures of our family, there must be no mistakes!" Lu Dabao smiled faintly, then stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and slowly walked towards the house.
About a mile away from the Lu family courtyard, four chic and elegant courtyards were newly built, and they were the new homes of Li Liang and others. Li Liang and Mint are in the north, Silly Cow and Jasmine are in the south, Gastrodia and Hibiscus are in the west, and Nansheng and Lily are in the east.
"Xianggong, why do you have to grow sorghum? That thing is delicious, isn't it?" In the same night, Li Lianghe did not go to bed early, but sat at the door of the house with a wine gourd, looking at the three bright moons in the sky, and drinking wine quietly. However, his little daughter-in-law Mint didn't plan to let him have a chance to drink to the moon, and as soon as she found that Li Liang was not around, she immediately jumped off the bed and walked to his side barefoot.
"Hehe, well, it's delicious. Li Liang smiled softly and replied simply.
Although the first step of Hexi's experiment was very successful, and all the women readily agreed to the marriage, this does not mean that Li Liang will easily believe them, nor does it mean that they are very innocent, on the contrary, the more this happens, the more Li Liang feels an invisible pressure.
"Really?" Mint's eyes lit up, and whenever she heard something delicious, her eyes would be bright, very bright.
"Well, when they are cooked, Xianggong will make them for you, hehe......" Li Liang gently scratched her abscess nose and said fondly.
"Yes, yes!" Mint jumped up laughing. However, Li Liang turned his gaze to the moon in the sky, and his mind drifted into the distance.
Sorghum, a crop he had to grow, was used to get rid of the poison of the "bloody tooth rice" that had accumulated too much in his body.
