Xiao Ding was wondering, and suddenly saw two people dressed as Jianghu people walking outside the courtyard on horseback, also walking in the direction of Luoxia Mountain in the west.

Because the road was slippery, the horse walked very slowly, and Xiao Ding could see very clearly, they were obviously not ordinary people.

Xiao Ding felt a little strange in his heart, when did the Jianghu people come to the village? What are they trying to do?

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a clue, so I simply didn't want to.

Xiao Ding looked at the sky, it was already afternoon at this time, and the bricks and tiles had been set today, and he invited Second Uncle Niu to help find someone to build a house. You should have carved out the place where you want to build your house in advance, then carefully inspect the small hill, and come back to make a detailed plan.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ding walked out of the courtyard and walked in the direction of the wasteland and the small hill.

The wasteland is not small, larger than the three football fields of later generations combined. I remember that day I measured that the length of this land seemed to be more than 70 zhang, and the width was less than 40 zhang.

Rocks, grasses, shrubs, etc. on the wasteland all need to be dealt with. Xiao Ding decided: When the time comes, the rocks will be dug up and used to build the wall, and the large pieces will be smashed into small pieces, and the small pieces will be built directly into the wall. Wild grass and shrubs are used when building houses, and those that cannot be used are cut down and dried for firewood.

The small hill to the north of the heath is not perfectly round. Xiao Ding had made a rough observation during the measurement that day. The south side of the hill is semi-oblong, showing a certain slope, and the slope is overgrown with vegetation and greenery from a distance.

On the northeast and northwest sides of the hill are two upright cliffs, as smooth as a knife and an axe. The intersection of the two cliffs forms an obtuse angle, which almost coincides with the gap in the main mountain range on the opposite side, which is about ten zhang apart.

As a modern person, Xiao Ding knows that this small hill should have originally belonged to a part of the main body of the mountain range, but because of the crustal movement of tens of millions of years, it has broken away from the main mountain range and is getting farther and farther apart.

If viewed from the sky, the hill looks like a fan-shaped piece cut from a giant round cake. It's just that the main mountain range in the north is not round, but long, and no one knows how big it is.

The height of the hill does not seem to be too high, and it is estimated that it is only more than 20 zhang by visual inspection. The length of the east-west direction is slightly smaller than the wasteland in front of the mountain, and it should be more than 70 zhang.

There are no trails on the slopes, and most of the slopes are relatively gentle, except for a distance near the summit.

Xiao Ding struggled to climb up the mountain. The mountain is not as muddy as the village road, but there is no grass everywhere. Although the grass has begun to turn a little yellow, it is still very slippery after being wet by the rain. So climbing a small hill at this time, it is easy to slip.

Xiao Ding thought to himself, we must build a mountain road here, it just so happens that there is no shortage of stones in this vicinity, and it will be good to pave a mountain road with stones at that time.

In the mountains and forests on the hill, Xiao Ding found some small animals and birds such as pheasants, hares, and wild mice, as well as several unknown wild fruits, many of which had fallen to the ground and rotted because no one picked them when they were ripe.

Xiao Ding thought to himself, when the time comes, this wasteland and this hill will be encircled, and these resources on the mountain will be their own!

After a lot of effort, Xiao Ding finally climbed to the top of the mountain. The more you get to the top of the mountain, the sparser the trees, and the more rocks there are.

There was a clearing on top of the hill with only a thin layer of weeds growing on it. It doesn't look too small, it should be about the size of a football field.

Behind the clearing is a low cliff that is not too high, and it is all bare stone walls.

Xiao Ding walked around the open space a few times and felt that it was also a good choice to build a house on the top of this mountain. At least on the top of this mountain, the view is wide and the air is fresh. Standing on it and watching the birds in the sky, the white clouds are fluttering, the green peaks and green trees, and the grass is green, there is a sense of transcendence from the world, and the mind is suddenly broadened, and the mood is naturally extraordinarily comfortable.

Xiao Ding observed it for a while, and suddenly found that there seemed to be two caves under the low cliff on the north side.

Xiao Ding hurriedly came to the bottom of the low cliff and found that there were indeed two caves here, and the entrance of the cave was not big. The entrance of the smaller cave was still shining with water, as if there was water flowing out, but the amount of water was a little small, and it had not flowed far before it seeped into the cracks in the stone.

The two openings are not far apart. Xiao Ding stretched out his head to look at the two caves, and found that the space in the caves was very large. If you widen the entrance to the cave and repair it, you can live in it.

Xiao Ding remembered the cave on the desert island again, warm in winter and cool in summer, and it was very comfortable to live in.

There must be a mountain spring in the cave with water on the east side, and when you have time, dig it, if the water is sufficient, it will make a lot of money. If the wasteland under the mountain is irrigated with water, will it not be able to fatten?

He took out a few rocks in the cave of Flowing Water, and sure enough, the flowing water seemed to be slightly larger than just now.

With this discovery, Xiao Ding's mood suddenly improved. He decided that he would bring tools to dig the cave tomorrow.

Seeing that it was already halfway through the afternoon, Xiao Ding returned to the south side of the mountain and looked at the wasteland below the mountain. Condescending, at a glance. He regretted that he didn't bring pen and paper, if he had brought pen and paper and drew a plan here, wouldn't it be clear at a glance!

However, at this time, he already had a rough idea in his mind.

At that time, the main house was built into a two-story small building, the first floor was for Tian Dabao to live in, and the second floor was temporarily lived by himself and Xiaofu. When the cave at the top of the mountain is repaired, or if a house is built on the top of the mountain, he will move to the top of the mountain.

Two rows of wings on both sides of the main house were built for Zhao Laixi's family and Xiao'e Xiaozhu and their two daughters. When the time comes to build a new house, I can't continue to live with Erniu.

Then build a row of gatehouses in front. Behind the main house were warehouses, kitchens, livestock houses, and so on.

These houses are enclosed in a small courtyard as a residential area for their own families, and then in front of these houses are built some guest rooms and workers' or people's rooms, and there will definitely be more people who need to be hired in the future, and they will need to be provided with accommodation.

The main way to make money in the future has already been planned, one is to use the small hill to breed pheasants and hares, and the other is to use the wasteland to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, especially off-season vegetables. These things can be delivered to the major restaurants in the town and county at that time. As long as everything is built and becomes a scale, why worry about not making money.

Xiao Ding was imagining the future, and saw a horse passing by on the road in the village, and the horse on the back was still dressed as a Jianghu person, still walking in the direction of Luoxia Mountain.

Counting this person, Xiao Ding had already seen four people from the rivers and lakes moving in the direction of Luoxia Mountain.

Why did they go to Luoxia Mountain? Could it be that there will be any martial arts conference or something like that held in Luoxia Mountain? Xiao Ding, who has read martial arts novels and TV series, can't help but think about it.

At this time, he suddenly found that on the road leading to Luoxia County, there was also a person riding a horse, and after a while, when he came to the road west of the village, he was also driving in the direction of Luoxia Mountain.

It's weird!

Xiao Ding wondered, faintly feeling that something would happen in his heart, and secretly thought that he would go back and ask Tang Yunzhi later to see if she knew about it.

After going down the hill, Xiao Ding temporarily changed his mind in his heart, and said in his heart that the eight rooms that were about to be built could not be built in the location of the warehouse, but could be built in the location of the workers' house first, and it would be the same for the workers to live in at that time.

Xiao Ding measured the approximate location of each house with his steps on the wasteland, and marked them one by one. After determining the location of the eight rooms and marking them, Xiao Ding turned around and went home.

By this time, it was already westerly, and it was almost time for dinner. Xiao Ding went to the forest on the hillside, beat two pheasants with stones, and carried them back to prepare dinner and stew them.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly saw two horses, one black and one white, coming from the village. Immediately sat two slender figures. Xiao Ding Xin said, why are they here too?
