Chapter 103: A Mysterious Figure
After Tian Caishen broke off his relationship with Tian Dabao's family, Tian Dabao seemed a little depressed, he couldn't understand why his father always disliked him so much. not only left him out of the house back then, but now he came to the door to force him to sign a letter of disconnection. Why is he so untreated by his father and mother, is it because he is lame?
Xiao Ding doesn't care what Tian Dabao thinks. He still followed the previous plan and urged the workers to continue the construction in full swing.
Today, the road on the other side of the hill is almost complete, and a rock-paved path winds its way up to the top. The mountain spring in the cave at the top of the mountain was also cleaned up, and the water was really strong.
Ding decided to bring a stream to the mountainside and dig a cistern in the forest on the mountainside for the animals on the hill to drink. Then lead a stream of water directly down from the vertical stone wall at the top of the mountain, and dig a smaller cistern at the foot of the mountain for your family's drinking and domestic water.
As a result, the spring water flowing from the cave at the top of the mountain was directed in two directions. Because the spring water in the cave is warm hot spring water, Xiao Ding asked the workers to build a bathing pool in the stone cave. Keep it for later use in hot springs.
Xiao Ding once suspected that the hot spring water on the top of the hill was the same underground water line as the hot spring in the snake cave on Luoxia Peak. But he couldn't know for sure, and it was just speculation.
The soil dug out of the cistern on the mountainside was put into a wooden box in the greenhouse. and instructed Zhao Hu and a few people to take charge of the vegetable planting work in the greenhouse.
Sprinkle vegetable seeds in a wooden box and water them, believing that it will not be long before the vegetables can be grown.
Zhao Hu and his family were born in the toiling public, and they are no strangers to growing vegetables, and they are even more experienced than Xiaoding.
Zhao Laixi is making furniture with several carpenters these days, and the house has been built, but there is still a lot of daily furniture in the house.
Everything is carried out in an orderly manner, and ordinary days seem to make people forget the passage of time.
Seeing that winter is coming, the weather is getting colder.
That night, Xiao Ding thought about his work in the past few days and planned what he should do next, so he slept late. Just as he was about to turn off the lights and go to the kang to rest, he suddenly saw a figure flashing outside the window.
Xiao Ding was shocked. Generally speaking, if there are outsiders in the house, the little wolf gray gray will definitely be the first to find out. But today, the little wolf gray gray did not move.
Xiao Ding picked up a simple knife that had been looted from the thieves and walked out of the door. Seeing that Fan Sanpang also opened his door and walked out.
"Brother Ding, have you found anything? How did I feel like someone was peeping around the house just now? Although Fan Sanpang's martial arts are not very good, his senses are still relatively keen, and he seems to have discovered that someone has come.
"I just saw a figure flash by outside the window. I don't know which way I went. Xiao Ding said truthfully.
The two looked around the house for a week and found nothing out of the ordinary. I don't know where the mysterious figure just now is hiding. So the two went back to their rooms.
Although the inspection was fruitless, Xiao Ding still raised his vigilance. Since that figure escaped so fast, it must also be a person in the rivers and lakes. Xiao Ding asked himself if he hadn't offended any Jianghu people, and it shouldn't have been someone who came to him to seek revenge. He believed that he had killed those people in Luoxia Mountain, and that he had not been seen by others at that time.
The only possibility is that the mysterious figure is coming for the Ou brothers and sisters. Xiao Ding knew that the Ou family's Imperial Sword Villa was destroyed, and there must be an ulterior secret in it, and the people who killed the Ou family should not have gotten what they wanted, so they continued to look for the people who survived the Ou family.
It seems that in the future, it is better to be more careful and let the Ou brothers and sisters show up as little as possible.
In the next few days, Xiao Ding told Fan Sanpang and Zhao Hu, as well as the Ou brothers and sisters, to be more careful and pay attention to strangers. Even if you go to bed at night, be alert and keep your doors and windows closed.
Fortunately, after the mysterious figure appeared once, it never appeared again.
More than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the first batch of vegetables planted in the greenhouse has grown up and is ready to be picked.
At this time, it is the end of October, it is officially winter, and the weather is very cold. The northern winters of this era were much colder than the winters of the later generations.
The Tian family had already put on the cotton clothes and pants they had prepared before, but they were not frozen.
Xiao Ding asked Zhao Hu and a few people to pick the vegetables grown in the greenhouse and put them into baskets. He also asked Zhao Laixi to borrow the ox cart of the village chief's family, and put on a sturdy horse raised on the back mountain. Then put the baskets of vegetables on the car, and then cover the baskets with quilts and straw curtains to prevent the vegetables from being frozen on the way.
Then he went to the hill and caught two hares and two pheasants, and threw them into the cart together. Xiao Ding decided to personally send this car of things to Xiangmanlou in the county seat.
After all, he has traded with Xiangmanlou twice, and now he is already a regular customer.
After everything was ready, Zhao Laixi was still asked to catch the carriage, Xiao Ding followed the car on foot, and the two drove towards the county seat.
Luoxia County is still very lively, and the streets are bustling with people.
Xiao Ding and Zhao Laixi were walking forward in the car, and when they walked to the front of a jewelry building in Dongcheng District, they suddenly found a large group of people surrounding the door of the jewelry building, and there were quarrels in the crowd.
Xiao Ding heard that the voice was a little familiar, so he walked a few steps quickly to the outside of the crowd. He was tall, and he could see a few people in the crowd when he stood in the outer circle of the crowd.
I saw that at the door of the jewelry building, there were a few splashes pulling a beautiful girl. The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a yellow Luo skirt, and she looked very beautiful and delicate. There were two maids beside her, not very old, who were helping to push away the splashes, but unfortunately their strength was too small to push them at all, but they were restrained by the splashes.
When Xiao Ding saw the girl, he said in his heart that it was really a coincidence, isn't this the youngest daughter of Han Luer, the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou! I was about to go to Xiangmanlou, but I didn't expect to meet here.
Look at those few splashed skins, wearing silk and satin, at first glance, they are all rich young masters. The man at the head was a little fat, and his neck was almost as thick as his head. He was missing a front tooth in his mouth, and his speech was slightly leaky.
Xiao Ding also knew the splash skin when he saw the leader. The heart said how did he come to the county seat? This person is the little overlord of Luoxia Town, the son of the landlord Xue, and Xue Qinshou, who is known as "Xue Beast" behind his back.
At this time, I heard Xue Yutian shouting shamelessly: "I said this girl, you will follow me, my family has silver, what jewelry do you want to buy, tell me, I will buy it for you, this jewelry building is opened by my brother's family, I will definitely get you the best jewelry." ”
A white-faced young man wearing brocade next to Xue Beast also followed and said, "Yes, yes, as long as you follow my Brother Xue, I will definitely not treat you badly." Whatever jewelry you want, just pick it. ”
At this time, Han Lu'er was about to cry, her arm was firmly grasped by Xue Beast, and the two maids were also restrained by the other two, and they couldn't go back to report the news.
Pity her, as the daughter of the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou, she was forced to be helpless by a few ruffians.
"You guys are so bold and playful, don't let it go! Do you know who I am? My brother-in-law is Hu Zhi County of our Luoxia County, if you don't let go, be careful that I let my brother-in-law arrest you all in jail! Han Luer moved out of Hu County in a hurry.
Xue Yumu and the white-faced young man were also stunned at first glance, and then laughed: "Who are you scaring about, I also said that my brother-in-law is the prefect of our Yongzhou, do you believe it?" Hahaha! ”
As soon as Xiao Ding in the outer circle of the crowd heard Xue Beast say this, he knew that he didn't believe Han Lu'er's words. It seems that it is time for me to stage a heroic rescue scene.
