"Thank you Brother Ding for helping me out of the siege just now, otherwise I really don't know what to do!" Han Luer smiled and thanked Xiao Ding.

"It just happened to happen, it's just a matter of doing it, Miss Han doesn't have to take it to heart!" Xiao Ding said politely.

"You came to my house this time, did you have any prey to send over?" Han Lu'er looked at the car that Zhao Laixi was driving and asked.

"This time it's mostly some greens." Xiao Ding replied truthfully.

"Greens? On such a cold day, there are still greens? Han Luer was a little incredulous.

"Well, it's grown in my family's greenhouse, it's very fresh." Xiao Ding said.

"Greenhouse greenhouse? What is a greenhouse? "Han Luer doesn't know what a greenhouse is.

"The greenhouse is the shed I built to grow vegetables, and the fire can be used to keep warm, so the vegetables will not freeze to death." Xiao Ding explained.

"You're so smart! I can think of a good way to grow vegetables in winter! Han Luer praised.

The two chatted while walking, and after a while, they came to Xiangmanlou.

Han Lu'er ordered the maid Xiaohong to call the guy Wang Er out, and several people drove the car directly to the door of the back kitchen.

When Xiao Ding lifted the straw curtain and quilt covering the basket, Han Lu'er, Wang Er, and Chef Liu all stared at each other.

On such a cold day, how could they have ever seen such a fresh and tender green vegetable with such a water and green spirit!

Counting the two pheasants and two hares, Han Luer asked Xiao Ding to take thirty taels of silver. This trip turned out to be more profitable than that time to sell wolves.

Chef Liu also repeatedly told Xiao Ding: "In the future, how many greens and pheasants and hares can be sent directly over, and Xiangmanlou will accept them all." Of course, he knew in his heart that with out-of-season vegetables, Xiangmanlou's business would go to the next level.

Xiao Ding agreed one by one, and introduced Zhao Laixi to know Wang Er, Chef Liu and others, and said that in the future, he may not come to deliver food in person every time, and may also send others over.

Leaving Xiangmanlou, Xiao Ding decided to go to the carriage and horse shop to buy a big car, in order to sell vegetables in the future. You can't go to Village Chief's house to borrow an oxcart every time you sell vegetables.

There were two main types of cars in this era, one was a convertible car that pulled goods, and the other was a van with a canopy that pulled people. The average wealthy family has this kind of van for the convenience of travel. This kind of car has a compartment, which is very well enclosed, and can shelter from the wind and cold in winter, and the sun and wind and rain in summer. There is no compartment for the convertible car to pull the goods, in order to save space and be able to carry more goods.

In fact, for farmers in the countryside, it will be more economical and practical to buy a convertible car to pull goods. But what Xiaoding thinks is that buying a van with a canopy will make it easier to transport vegetables from the cold. So he and Zhao Laixi chose a van with a canopy in the carriage and horse shop.

At the same time, he also planned to ask Tian Dabao to weave more square baskets after he went back to facilitate loading.

On the street, the two bought some daily necessities that the family lacked, ate some casually, and began to set out on the return journey.

There was no word all the way, and before dark, the two returned home.

As soon as she arrived at the front of the new house, Xiao Zhu'er ran over, and when she saw Xiao Ding, she shouted: "Brother fool, brother fool, it's not good, it's not good, Sister Mu Lin has been robbed of ......"

"What's going on? You speak slowly. Xiao Ding was taken aback and hurriedly asked eagerly.

"Today, I was playing with Sister Mu Lin over there, and suddenly a man in black came, grabbed Sister Mu Lin, and ran towards the woods over there with his arm. Uncle Fan and Uncle Zhao have already chased after them. Xiao Zhu'er said and pointed with her hand in the direction of the mountains and forests to the west.

When Xiao Ding heard this, he hurriedly told Zhao Laixi to let him unload the car by himself, and he turned around and chased in the direction pointed by Xiao Zhu'er.

After chasing about two or three miles away, Xiao Ding saw several figures in the mountains and forests in front of him. He hurriedly walked a few quick steps and approached the front.

I saw Fan Sanpang holding a simple knife in his hand, and he was surrounding a man in black with Zhao Hu and a few others. Zhao Hu and the others also held axes, firewood knives, shovels, pickaxes and the like.

The man in black who was surrounded in the middle had a black scarf over his face and a black hood on his head, so he couldn't see his face clearly. He was of medium stature, holding a short knife in his right hand and Omulin in his left. He was carefully guarding against a few people around him.

"Who the hell are you? Hurry up and let her go, or you won't be able to get out of here today!" Fan Sanpang threatened.

"Just a few of you want to keep Lao Tzu? I haven't taken you guys seriously yet. The man in black said arrogantly.

"Not necessarily!" It was Xiao Ding who answered. He also came to the edge of the encirclement, slowly pulled out the dagger from his waist, and held it in the palm of his hand. He always carried his dagger with him, a habit he had developed since he was in the army. This dagger was also the one he got from Luoxia Mountain, and it was extremely sharp.

"Don't move, or I'll kill her first!" The man in black saw that there was another person surrounding him, so he put his short knife in front of Omulin.

Xiao Ding and the others were afraid that the man in black would hurt Ou Mulin, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

"You let Mu Lin go, she has no grievances with you, why should you hurt her!" Xiao Ding frowned and shouted at the man in black. But my mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of a way.

"Hurry up and let me go, or I'll kill her!" The Man in Black continued to threaten.

"You let Mu Lin go first, and we'll let you go!" Xiao Ding replied.

"That's not going to work, I'm going to take her with me!" The man in black refused.

"Can you tell me why you arrested Mu Lin?" Xiao Ding took the opportunity to ask.

"Because I've found out that she's from the Ou family of Edgeworth Villa." The man in black said.

"Why are you looking for someone from the Ou family in Edgeworth Villa? Who are you? Xiao Ding continued to ask.

"I can't tell you this, and it won't do you any good if you know." The man in black said coldly.

In fact, Xiao Ding also understands that it is better not to inquire about the affairs of the people in the rivers and lakes. Many times, the less secrets you know, the safer you are. If you learn the secret of a sect, you may be killed.

But for the destruction of the Ou family in the Imperial Sword Villa, Xiao Ding still has a lot of things he doesn't understand. Who destroyed the Ou family? Why did they destroy the Ou family? What exactly do they want? These questions have always bothered Xiao Ding.

It seems that today's man in black is also here for the Ou family. He didn't hurt Ou Mulin now, he just wanted to get some important information from Ou Mulin's mouth.

Just as Xiao Ding was thinking about how to rescue Ou Mulin from the man in black, a fluffy and soft caterpillar suddenly fell from the tree and landed on the back of the right hand of the man in black. He was taken aback. Nearly dropped the dagger to the ground. Hurriedly shake off the caterpillar on the back of his hand.

At this moment, Ou Mulin suddenly moved over the left arm of the man in black and bit it hard, and then turned around and broke away from the control of the man in black.

The man in black suffered pain in his left arm, and subconsciously shook his hand and let go of Ou Mulin.

He just wanted to step forward and continue to catch Omulin. At this time, Xiao Ding stabbed him in the chest with a dagger. At the same time, Fan Sanpang, who was standing behind him, also slashed at the back of the man in black......
