Gu Mingzhu returned home, Chu Jing hadn't come back yet, Gu Mingzhu was a little worried, and looked at the back mountain uncertainly, hoping that something would happen to him.

And the snow fragrance at home, Xuemei is gone, and I must have gotten a letter to go to the back mountain.

Qiao'er was cooking in the kitchen, and saw Gu Mingzhu walking in and out through the window, with an anxious look, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Young lady, what are you anxious about?" ”

"It's okay, I'm waiting for the general to come back, you go and get busy with yours!" Gu Mingzhu waved his hand and told Qiao'er to go and do her own work.

Qiao'er is a little strange, in the past, the young lady never cared when the general would come back? How can you have the patience to wait for the general to come back today?

Gu Mingzhu waited anxiously until it was almost dark, Chu Jing, Xuexiang, and Xuemei came back, and several people were in a mess, their clothes were torn, their hair was scattered, and they knew at a glance that they were running in the woods.

Gu Mingzhu instructed Qiao'er to boil hot water for Chu Jing to take a bath, this dirty clothes must be uncomfortable to wear.

Chu Jing was obviously very tired, so he let Gu Mingzhu be busy, and sat at the table by himself panting.

Xuexiang, Xuemei, and they went down to wash themselves.

Seeing that there was no one, Gu Mingzhu asked, "How is it?" Did Mu Er find them? ”

"That kid was so cunning that he almost found out, and in order to lure him away, we ran five laps around the back mountain and exhausted people to death."

Chu Jing squinted at Gu Mingzhu and said, "Daughter-in-law, fortunately you reminded me, otherwise I would have really lost my head this time." ”

"I'm afraid of losing my head, so I just killed Na Mu Er." Gu Mingzhu always felt that Mu Er was much more dangerous than the prince, because that Mu Er was too good at disguise, and when he went to the Ghost Doctor Valley to meet him, he was really deceived by his appearance of a gentleman, until Mu Er revealed his profound kung fu and witty mind. Gu Mingzhu realized that he had lost his eyes.

"Daughter-in-law, you are so cruel!"

Chu Jing's daughter-in-law gave Gu Mingzhu a headache, and he turned his head and yelled at Chu Jing, "Don't call me a daughter-in-law." ”

"Oh! If you don't call it a daughter-in-law, what is it called? Chu Jing was indifferent to Gu Mingzhu's yelling, and lazily leaned back in his chair and asked Gu Mingzhu innocently.

"Let's not talk about this, you said that your ghost battalion is definitely not safe to hide in the mountains now, since Mu Er is suspicious, he will definitely continue to investigate. We've got to find a way to hide them. ”

"And what can you do?" Chu Jing looked at Gu Mingzhu and intuitively felt that she had a way.

"How many of these people are there?"

"Five Hundred"

Gu Mingzhu thought as he walked, five hundred people was not a small number, and it was indeed not easy to hide.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Chu Jing, "We can break them into pieces and make them visible, so we don't have to hide in the mountains anymore." ”

"Do you have a way?"

"I'm short of men to work on the barren beach, and I need to hire some workers from the town. And I also have to buy the back mountain, planting tea, these all need manpower, this work is not a day or two can be done, a few years or more than ten years is no problem. Gu Ming said with a smile.

Chu Jing's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Gu Mingzhu meant, those five hundred people could be scattered and arranged on the barren beach and the mountain, they were long-term workers hired by Gu Mingzhu, and they could stay on the back mountain justifiably, even if the prince checked again, he would not be able to find those people from the ghost camp.

This little girl is really smart, and she has a group of free helpers.

"Then we'll go to Lizheng tomorrow and buy the back mountain." After Gu Mingzhu finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to bring food to eat, and after tossing for a day, he was hungry.

After eating, after the two of them finished washing, Gu Mingzhu put on his clothes and sat on the bed with a pen to calculate his income during this time, wanting to see how much cash he had in his hands, after all, buying a mountain is not as simple as buying land, and buying such a big mountain can get a lot of silver.

secretly calculated, there were probably more than 3,000 taels of silver on his body.

She spent more than 500 taels of silver to buy the barren beach, and she didn't know how much silver she got in the back mountain?

Turning his head and asking Chu Jing, who was reading a book under the lamp, "General, how many silver taels will you need to buy this back mountain." ”

Chu Jing raised his head, his good-looking handsome eyebrows raised, and he thought about it carefully, "It's not very clear about this, there are people who buy fields and land, but I haven't seen anyone buy barren mountains." ”

"That's it! Otherwise, let's go and ask Zhao Dongming how to sell this mountain now? ”

Chu Jing looked out the window, it was already dark, and Gu Mingzhu had already taken off his coat and nestled on the bed.

"There's no rush on this matter, let's go again tomorrow!" Chu Jing didn't want Gu Mingzhu to work in the late autumn night.

"There are busy things during the day, and this is the right time to go at night, and at this time, most of the people in the village are still having dinner. Let's go just in time. Gu Mingzhu got up as he got dressed as he spoke.

Chu Jing had no choice but to say, "You are so anxious, you say that the wind is the rain, it is a little cold at night, wear more clothes." ”

"It's not winter yet, why is it so cold?" As soon as he got out of bed, a chill hit him, and Gu Mingzhu shivered.

"This Zhengning Village is close to the capital, close to the north, and the more it gets at night, the colder it becomes. It is easy to catch a cold. This is also the reason why he does not approve of Gu Mingzhu going to Lizheng's house at night.

"I just wear more clothes, so that this matter is settled earlier, and I have less to worry about." The ghost camp in the back mountain is like a regular bomb, if it is not arranged for a day, this heart will not be able to let go.

Chu Jing knew what Gu Mingzhu was worried about? This matter must also be arranged as soon as possible, this ghost camp is his last guarantee, and he can't let the prince find out.

"Let's go!" Gu Mingzhu had already dressed, Chu Jing took another thick cloak and draped it on her, the two of them went out at this time, Xue saw that the two of them looked like they were going out, and hurriedly brought a candle lantern and handed it to Chu Jing, it was dark, the country roads were full of potholes, and it was really easy to fall without lanterns.

The candle flame was faint, and it could only illuminate the distance of about three meters under your feet, but it was enough to see the road ahead.

When she came to the house, a cold wind blew, which made Gu Mingzhu's face cold, and she frowned, Chu Jing helped her lift the cloak up, covering most of her face, and only her eyes were exposed.

The two were just about to leave, when Gu Mingzhu suddenly thought of something? said to Chu Jing, "You wait for me here, I'll go get something." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the house, didn't let Chu Jing wait longer, and hurriedly returned after a while, but when he came back, he had a few more things in his hand, a bag of brown sugar, two knives of meat, and a bag of snacks bought in the town.

Chu Jing knew at a glance that this was a gift from Gu Mingzhu to Li Zheng, this little girl would win people's hearts when she arrived, and knew that she would give gifts when she asked someone to do something. He remembered that when he first bought the barren beach, this girl also brought a gift.

"Let's go!" Gu Mingzhu took the gift and walked forward, and Chu Jing walked towards Zhao Dongming's house side by side with her with the lantern.
