When the woman heard this, she stopped trembling and slowly drank the water.

After feeding the water, Xia Juhua fed her two bowls of lean porridge, and after she was full, she coaxed her to sleep.

But she slept very unsteadily, her brows were tightened, her mouth was low and dreaming, and even her hands and feet were painful, but in desperation, Shen Muhan gave her an injection, and everyone walked out of the house after seeing that she was stable.

Soon, Xia Tieshu and Ming Peng came back, not only bringing a lot of peanuts and soybeans, but also bringing good news, that is, they found the shop, which is in the center of the town, next to Fushou Restaurant, and not far from Meilou.

At this time, Xia Mujian's enthusiasm was completely stimulated.

Immediately found the village chief Yang Dadong to see the land, and finally set the land on the opposite side of the brick factory, that is, above the lotus root pond, the land is not small, there are more than seven acres, originally that place is an ordinary field, but this water is too difficult to irrigate, a drought will have to occur in the summer, the villagers are disgusted, and it will be deserted there for a long time, Xia Hibiscus picked up a big bargain, fifty-five taels to buy back.

"Hey, uncle, why is it so smooth today, and the Wang family doesn't come out to stir up?"

Because the land was bought too smoothly, Xia Mujin was a little skeptical, and on the way back, he couldn't help but ask Yang Dadong.

"Hibiscus girl, you still don't know, this Wang Shoucai was arrested, it is said that he offended the magnates of which party, and was arrested and sent to Beijing, it has been more than half a month, and there is not even a letter, and I don't know whether I live or die, and now this Wang family is much more restrained, and it is said that it is out to stir up peace, even if it is to bully the villagers, it is said that there are several landlords in the village who have also been thoroughly investigated, and now, the tyrants in those villages are all in danger, and they are terrified."

So it sees, it seems that her advice is full of work, and the little emperor is still impatient, at least this heart is on the people.

"Oh, this is really great, is the land of the uncle Wang's family returned to the villagers?"

Xia Muhibiscus pretended not to know and applauded, and asked again.

"It's been returned, it's been returned, and this year the villagers can finally have enough food and warm clothes."

Hearing this, Yang Dadong also said excitedly.

At this time, his smile was kind and clean, less melancholy and helplessness in the past, and the whole person looked a lot younger.

Two days later, Xia Mujian hired oxen to plough the land, which had not been planted for a long time, and the soil was so tight that it had to be ploughed and then flattened with a hoe before it could be planted.

In two days, the family was peeling peanuts, and after peeling, they carefully selected again, and the good, full grains, and obvious sprouts were the first choice, and the selection method of soybeans was the same.

Those peanuts that were screened out and unqualified were fried by Xia Mujian A large plate of peanuts, because Shen Muhan and others came, there were a few more people in the family to eat, and they were all young men, and they had to be busy for half a day at each meal, but these were Xia Juhua and Ermiao dotting, and Aunt Xia would occasionally help, after all, this Xue'er was still young, except for sleeping, she was always in her arms, and this girl would recognize people when she was so big, except for Aunt Xia and Xia Juhua, even Xia Forest didn't want much.

As for the soybeans, Xia Mujian fried them in oil, then added chili powder, dried fish larvae, and bean drums, mixed them well, and put them in a jar, and then added the oil that was cooled after being burned red, covered with a lid, and poured a layer of water on them, which was sealed.

"Brother, the place I painted is fenced off, I'll go to the town later, and I can use it when I come back, you have to hurry."

On this day, Ming Yi and the others left, as for where they went, Shen Muhan did not elaborate, and Xia Muhibiscus would not ask, after all, he was still the regent of a country, not an idle meal, early in the morning, Xia Muhibiscus ran out of the yard, and the ground ten meters away from the fish pond marked a square plot of about five or six square meters with wooden branches, and asked Xia Tieshu to fence it with a fence before the afternoon, and the fence was so dense that it could only leave a gap as thick as a finger.

Tell this qiē to finish breakfast early and drive the carriage to the town, Songzi is very impatient, a few days ago he muttered to let Ming Yi teach him to ride a horse, and drive a carriage, this is not, now learn and sell, at the moment as a coachman, driving a decent look.

Shen Muhan and Xia Muhibiscus sat in the carriage, did Xia Muhibiscus lift the curtain to look outside, afraid that the pine nuts were not familiar with driving, and they bumped or fell, but Shen Muhan was still working, or piles of notes, or bamboo strips, Xia Muhibiscus was very well-behaved and didn't bother him.

When they arrived in the town, the first thing they went to was the shop that Xia Tieshu said.

"May I ask if it's Boss Du?"

Xia Mujin and the others walked in, and when they saw that it was almost empty, they walked to the counter and asked politely.

This was originally a chess club, but because the boss lady was addicted to gambling, she lost her entire belongings and borrowed a lot of foreign debts.

Of course, Xia Tieshu heard all this, and then relayed it to Xia Muhibiscus.

I thought that this boss would be very enthusiastic, but unexpectedly, he just glanced at Xia Mujian and the others, his eyes flickered slightly, and he continued to bow his head and play with the abacus.

"Boss Du, this is the deposit that my brother paid that day, I am his sister, I came to see the store today, and I paid the rest of the money by the way."

Seeing that this person was strange, Xia Mujian's sympathy just now instantly disappeared, so he took out the agreement signed by the two parties and handed it over.

"Well, your deposit and liquidated damages."

And the man didn't look at the slip in Xia Mujian's hand, and threw out a bag of silver from the counter, smashed it on the counter with a bang, and said without emotion.

Xia Mu Hibiscus frowned, took the strip back, and said:

"Who are you?"

"Let's go, let's go, this shop has already been bought by my family, and it is still three times your price, and the person surnamed Du has already run away with the silver."

Seeing that Xia Muhibiscus was still not giving up, the man was impatient to hurry.

Hearing this, the corners of Shen Muhan's mouth hooked: "May I ask when you took this shop down?" ”

"Three days ago"

"Uncle, why are you pulling me out, I haven't seen the owner of the money yet, and even dare to rob my shop, it really seems that there is a lot of money."

Suddenly, Xia Mujian was pulled out by Shen Muhan, and when the guy at the counter saw it, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at their backs as they walked out with contempt, and smiled coldly.

And Xia Mujian, who was pulled out by Shen Muhan, was full of anger at the moment and had nowhere to vent, so he said dissatisfied.

"Come on, let's let one, let one let, wine and fish, orchid beans, and moldy tofu are all together."

At this time, more than a dozen helpers were carrying wooden boxes in and out of a carriage, shouting while carrying things.

What did they just say??

Wine tied fish, orchid beans, moldy tofu

scold

It's so ridiculous that she, the founder, has not yet put this thing on the table, and the plagiarism has already blatantly opened a store to make money.

"There are ghosts in Damiao Village."

Shen Muhan pulled Xia Mujian, who was a little stunned, aside and whispered in her ear.

He had already made a preliminary exclusion in his heart just now, but even so, he couldn't guess who it was?

Moreover, these things were made by Hibiscus and his family, and no outsiders were allowed to participate, and if he didn't see it with his own eyes, that person was also a genius like Hibiscus.

Or maybe the person has the talent to make the same taste with a taste.

"Ha, uncle, I watched a play, it seems that this person is coming for me."

After half a sound, Xia Muhibiscus clapped his hands and said excitedly.

It's the first time she's met such a competitive opponent, and it's time to get a good meeting.

Shen Muhan looked at her suspiciously, for a moment, and the corners of his mouth were also hooked up with a beautiful arc.

"Wangpu has been transferred, Wangpu has been transferred, if you are interested, come and take a look, take a look, the location is good, the business is good, and the source of customers is good"

And at the moment when the two looked at each other and laughed, a shout came from the opposite side, Xia Mujian and Shen Muhan turned their heads at the same time, and suddenly, one raised an eyebrow and the other frowned.

Lee's coffin shop

Damn, my God, are you here to tease the bully?

The shop here was robbed, and then the pie fell from the sky, but the pie was unfilled.

"Sister, there are coffins in there, it's weird and terrifying."

Looking at the coffin painted with red paint, Songzi couldn't help but shudder, and said in a trembling voice.

"Hey, this Li Dalang has started again, there are thirty-one days of shouting like this month, even if his price is low, he doesn't dare to take down the shop."

"Yes, yes, it is said that the shop has never made a profit since it opened, and it should be the sixteenth head of the household when he arrives here, that is not a loss, there is a surname Fang I heard that he sold his daughter to pay off the debt owed by this purchase, and your daughter is also stubborn, and she can't bear such humiliation, so she committed suicide."

"Yes, I heard that this shop is often haunted, and when he came back, Li Taro took it, since it was haunted, then he did the coffin business, but it has been three years, and he sold three coffins, and the next day the owner who bought the coffin came to the door and said that his grave had been dug up."

At this moment, several aunts beside Xia Mujin were picking out fresh side dishes, probably because they heard the shouting on the other side, but they even forgot to pick the dishes, and chatted passionately, which was a sigh and a shake.

"Jin'er"

"Uncle, that's it."

Looking at the excited eyes at the bottom of Xia Mujian's eyes, Shen Muhan shouted tentatively, unexpectedly, before he finished his words, Xia Mujian made a decisive decision, and then walked towards the coffin shop with one hand.

"Boss, how many taels of silver do you need for this store?"

That Li Dalang estimated that his business was not good, he looked very haggard, and his face was also white, as if he had been malnourished for a long time, Xia Muhibiscus walked up to him and asked straight to the point.

Then I observed the terrain, which is also a prosperous stage, and I played against the chess club just now, and there is no business to say, besides, the surrounding shops are constantly in and out of people, although not to say that everyone has bought something, but at least there are still a lot of customers, even the neighboring stores.

When Li Dalang heard that someone asked about this shop, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly smiled flatteringly:

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, girl, it's ten taels of silver."

As he spoke, he made a cross-shaped movement with one hand, and said flatteringly and helplessly.

Xia Mujin glanced at him, then glanced at Shen Muhan again, and then slowly walked into the store.

The area is not less than sixty square meters, two floors, perhaps because of the problem of the coffin shop, there is no ventilation window at all, and the ground is indeed much cooler than the outside, the pine nut is a cold shudder for no reason, tilting his head, looking at his sister and big brother puzzled.

"Boss Li, this shop is yours?"

Xia Mujin observed it, and then asked.

Hearing this, Li Taro lowered his head wiltedly and said helplessly:

"No, three years ago, I also bought it from the previous owner, and I also asked about it, but the owner also said that he didn't know, but every quarter he remitted the rent of this store pù to the money village, a name called vulture, because we signed a three-year contract, even if you want to go back, it is impossible, girl, I won't tell you that this shop pù is haunted every night, it is very scary, and our family does not dare to live here."

In good conscience, he told the truth.

"Then why don't you redecorate this shop, like open a window or something?"

"Girl, don't you know, we did do this, but on the first day, the window was closed again, and there was not a trace to be seen, and over time, we didn't dare to move this place anymore, as long as the three-year period is up, even if we don't go out, we can close the door and leave."

"Oh? There is a strange thing, what if I take down this shop and tear it down and rebuild it? ”

Although Xia Mujin didn't know what conspiracy was behind this, or what she was hiding from this, she was even more interested in this shop, and she glanced at Shen Muhan and said.

When Li Taro heard this, he was stunned, this demolition and reconstruction, how much does it cost, and he has invested so many silver taels before it opens, isn't it full and has nothing to do?

Or is this girl having a lot of money and nowhere to spend it, but looking at her ordinary clothes, she doesn't look like a very rich person.

However, the beautiful-looking man behind her was extravagant, and just standing like this gave people an infinite sense of oppression, and he didn't dare to look directly at those sharp eyes.

After a pause, he touched the back of his head and hesitated:

"Girl, I really don't know about this, because no one has ever done that."

In fact, this store is still because it is cheap, but I didn't expect the cheap one to lose the lady and the soldiers.

"Well, can you show me your contract?"

Seeing that this Li Taro was a real person, Xia Mujian was not embarrassed, so he asked.

Hearing this, Li Taro immediately nodded, then turned around and went to the counter and took out the contract.

Xia Mujin took the contract, and then looked at it a few more times, and after a while, Shen Muhan reached over, took the contract from Xia Muhibiscus and looked at it, but did not find anything suspicious, the two looked at each other, and Xia Mujin began to dig out the silver.

"Okay, Boss Li, you move these things away immediately, these five taels are a deposit, I will check the results in three days, and then I will pay you another five taels."

Li Taro took the five taels of silver, and suddenly felt that he was in a dream, there was really someone willing to take this store down, and their family was finally relieved, relieved

The matter of the shop was temporarily settled, and Natsuki began to walk around the town again.

Not far away, a subtle voice attracted her attention, and the corners of Xia Mujian's mouth hooked, this was her real purpose today.

Suddenly, he took a step towards the place where the sound sounded.

Twitter

Quack quack

An old man was standing behind a cage containing chicken and duck seedlings respectively, and it seemed that he had just hatched, because the weather was a little cold, and at this moment, he was shivering and huddled together, making some sharp and piercing sounds.

The old man was at least sixty years old, dressed very ordinary, and had a lot of patches, and at the moment he was also ringing his arms, looking at the other two cages melancholy, perhaps because he had been standing for a long time, and the weather was cold, his lips had turned blue and purple.

"Uncle, how did you buy these chicken and duck seedlings?"

Xia Mu Hibiscus squatted in front of the cage, and flicked his hand inside, which frightened these chicken and duck seedlings to scream more violently, and drilled into it vigorously, and Xia Mu Hibiscus giggled.

"Girl, this year's hatching is early, it is estimated that it is not easy to feed, a penny, you or?"

The old man also lowered his eyes and said to Xia Hibiscus with some dejection.

"Yes, all of them."

Hearing this, Xia Mujin was overjoyed, and even if he took out the silver, he said by the way:

"That, uncle, I bought your two cages together, you see, how much is this total."

"Eh, girl, there are 100 chickens and ducks each, a total of 200 Wen, this cage is made by yourself, you can just give some of it."

This old man is also a real person, he has been standing here for more than an hour, and no one has come up to ask, but he didn't expect this girl to ask for it all as soon as she opened her mouth, which surprised him, and it was also here outside, that is, he said happily.

Xia Mujin weighed the next two cages, then took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, exchanged it for an estimated three hundred wen, stuffed it into the palm of the uncle's hand, and said with a smile:

"Uncle, then I'll take it away!"

The uncle looked at the ingot of broken silver in the palm of his hand, and he didn't react until Xia Mujin's back walked far away, and it was too late to scream

Far away, Shen Muhan saw Xia Muhibiscus struggling to carry the two cages over, frowned, and stepped forward to take it, and when he saw the little thing in the cage, his whole face twitched.

Immediately, without saying a word, he accelerated his pace with the cage.

Xia Mujin inexplicably trotted behind him, and when he saw that his brows were frowning, his eyes were not squinting, and he went straight to the carriage, he was puzzled:

"Uncle, you won't be afraid of this chicken and duck seedling, right?"

Hearing this, Shen Muhan paused at his feet, turned his head and glanced at Xia Mujian, and then walked forward again.

This time, he was stunned by Xia Mu Hibiscus, and muttered, it was strange and difficult to guess.

After placing these chicken and duck seedlings, Xia Mujin bought some commonly used things and asked Matsuko to drive the carriage back.

"Uncle? Are you alright? ”

Along the way, Shen Muhan's face was a little pale, and after entering the carriage, he closed his eyes and recuperated, and he never made a sound, Xia Mujian asked with some curiosity.

"It's fine."

After a long time, Shen Muhan spit out two lukewarm words, Xia Mujian raised his eyebrows, and crawled over across the coffee table, the back of his hand probed to his forehead, and found that the temperature was normal, so he didn't speak again.

Half an hour later, the carriage successfully stopped outside his yard, Xia Muhibiscus shouted Xia Tieshu and others to carry the cage, because as soon as the carriage stopped, Shen Muhan couldn't wait to jump off the carriage, and then disappeared.

At this moment, Xia Mujin realized that the clothes on his back were already soaked, and he looked at the back of the striding away with some concern, and when he saw his brother coming, he chased after him after a few words.

When he arrived at the main hall, he didn't see Shen Muhan, and Xia Mujin was a little hesitant, whether to go upstairs or go somewhere else.

"Are you looking for that tall man?"

Suddenly, a crisp voice came, and Xia Mujin lifted her eyes to look, only to see that the woman they rescued was standing against the door frame in a thin undershirt at the moment, and said with a worried face.

Xia Mu Hibiscus looked at her for a while, her facial features were delicate and attractive, and her eyes showed a pure and harmless cowardly light, seeing Xia Mu Hibiscus looking at her directly, she immediately lowered her head, stirred the hem of her clothes with both hands, and was a little overwhelmed-
