Chapter 23: A New Home

At Xiao Mo's signal, the door of the house was opened by Niu Da's 'creak', and then the huge courtyard appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The yard was overgrown with moss, and there were some dead flowers and trees for gardening, and it was obvious that the previous owner of the house was a flower owner.

The house is composed of the front yard, the east wing, the west wing and the back yard, and the middle is the living room, Xiao Mo took a look at it, and was very satisfied with the layout of the house, and then said to Lin Yiye: "Please also ask Liang An to go and redeem this silver ticket, exchange it for six ingots and ten taels of silver and forty taels of broken silver, and invite some craftsmen to pick up the moss and dust in the yard." ”

Lin Yiye took the silver ticket from Xiao Mo's hand, hurriedly walked out of the house, and happened to meet the pouting Yu Niang, Yu Niang stopped Lin Yiye and asked, "How does Ziheng look at the house?" ”

Lin Yiye kept a heartfelt eye, and said with an unchanged face: "Ziheng's thoughts, I can't figure it out, so you should ask yourself!" ”

After that, Lin Yiye went by himself, Yu Niang thought about it, but still didn't dare to enter the house, so she had to wait by the side of the carriage.

It wasn't until Lin Yiye came back with a few craftsmen that Yu Niang realized that the situation was wrong, and she couldn't take care of Meng Qiuxiang, who was still resting in the carriage, and followed Lin Yiye to find Xiao Mo, and said aggrievedly: "Ziheng, do you really want to buy here?" ”

Xiao Mo nodded, pointed at Niu Da and said, "The silver has been paid, and now this is our home." ”

Yu Niang was obviously a little unhappy, but Xiao Mo had already paid the money, and he had no way to stop it, so he had to follow Xiao Mo's side, Xiao Mo commanded everyone to clean the yard, and at the same time comforted Yu Niang, and in an afternoon, almost all of them were cleaned in the yard that Xiao Mo bought newly, and even Niu Da stayed behind to help clean up together.

Since it was a temporary house, as long as the dust and moss were cleaned, as for the vermilion paint that fell off on the doors, windows and pillars, Xiao Mo was not in a hurry.

As for the beds, they were left in the house, and of course the bedding was brought from the Xiao family, and they were also arranged with the help of everyone.

When the sun was about to set, everyone finally finished cleaning up, and did not find anything unusual about this legendary murderous house, only the last firewood room and kitchen were not cleaned up, so they all came to the side courtyard.

The firewood house and kitchen, including the thatched house, are all in this small courtyard, and there is a well in the middle of the courtyard, Xiao Mo saw it, and said to Lin Yiye: "Brother Liang An, please go over and take a look, there is no water in it......"

When Lin Yiye heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he said, "Ziheng, it is said that the unclean thing is in this well, I ...... I'm not going. ”

Hearing Lin Yiye's words, everyone unconsciously took a few steps back, away from the well, Xiao Mo shook his head helplessly, and then let Zhou Kui push himself to the well, Yu Niang couldn't hold him, so he had to stay where he was.

Xiao Mo glanced inside the well, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it down, but he didn't hear the sound of water.

It turned out to be a dry well, Xiao Mo thought about it, then turned around and asked everyone to clean up the firewood room and kitchen, and then let him start to light a fire and prepare to cook the first meal in his new home.

After paying the wages to those workers, Xiao Mo brought Meng Qiuxiang in, and then gave her the six ingots of silver in his hand and asked her to keep them, and finally when the lamp was turned on at night, Xiao Mo and Meng Qiuxiang, Lin Yiye, Zhou Kui, and Yu Niang sat down at the dinner table together and began to eat.

Halfway through the meal, suddenly a tall and sturdy man with a sword on his waist came to Xiao Mo's courtyard, Xiao Mo frowned, and asked, "These people, didn't they help close the door when they went out?" ”

Lin Yiye smiled, feeling that it was a little disrespectful for Xiao Mo to say this in front of the man, so he got up and asked, "What is the reason why the strong man is here?" ”

The man didn't speak, but nodded at Zhou Kui, and Zhou Kui explained with a smile: "Erlang, this is the head catcher of this county, surnamed Yan, named eighteen, and is a well-known god catcher!" ”

"God catches? Yan Eighteen? Xiao Mo looked at Yan Eighteen in surprise, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, of course, amazement refers to Xiao Mo's curiosity about Yan Eighteen, in Xiao Mo's opinion, since it is a god catcher, then it must be extraordinary, in his previous life Xiao Mo liked to read books, and also read "The Four Famous Catches", the four protagonists in the book are so powerful, they are all just famous catches, as a god catcher, Xiao Mo guessed that Yan Eighteen must be very powerful, so he said to Yan Eighteen: "I have seen Yan Catcher, I have been admiring Yan Catcher for a long time, and I have long wanted to see the legendary Catcher!" ”

Yan Shibai hugged his fists and said: "Xiao Sihu smiled, the Sprinkle family is a rough person, but he knows some fist and foot exercises, and he doesn't deserve the word god catch!" ”

"Fist and foot kung fu?" Xiao Mo's eyes lit up, he looked at Yan Shibai and said, "I don't know what kind of kung fu Yan Zhutou is learning?" There is a sword around the waist of the swallow catcher in Xiaguan, but the sunflower sword that you learned? ”

"Uh......" Yan Eighteen was stunned by Xiao Mo's question, and said with some embarrassment: "The sword is just a weapon, it is used for self-defense, what kind of sword does Xiao Sihu say...... The Sprinkle family has never heard of it, and they don't know what kind of swordsmanship it is! ”

Xiao Mo nodded when he heard this, and then he remembered that he was naΓ―ve, how could the things in the novel count? If there were really those chivalrous warriors who could fly through the sky and walk the walls in ancient times, and they could fight hundreds or thousands of people by one person, wouldn't the world be chaotic?

It seems that he has also been poisoned by martial arts novels, and as soon as they met, he asked the other party if he would be a sunflower sword, thinking of the sunflower sword, Xiao Mo shook his head funny.

What is the sunflower sword, obviously there is only the sunflower treasure book......

After coming to his senses, Xiao Mo returned to his usual appearance, and asked Yan Shiba: "Yan Zhutou came to the mansion, but is there something?" ”

Yan 18 said: "On the order of the master, let Xiao Sihu go to Binman Building, saying that it is to catch the wind for Xiao Sihu!" ”

Xiao Mo nodded when he heard this, and said, "My lord has a heart, Xiao Mo is just a sick and weak person, and he shouldn't be like this!" ”

said this, but Xiao Mo gave Zhou Kui a look, and when Zhou Kui saw it, he pushed Xiao Mo and followed Yan Shibai out of the house.

Seeing that Xiao Mo and Lin Yiye had left, Yu Niang's face immediately changed, and she stood up in a panic, now it was night, it was dark outside, Xiao Mo and they were not at home, only Yu Niang and Meng Qiuxiang were two women in this legendary murderous mansion, Yu Niang was afraid.

And Meng Qiuxiang didn't know it, so she looked natural, and when she saw that Yu Niang was flustered, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yu Niang was about to speak, but she remembered what Xiao Mo said to herself in the afternoon, if she told Meng Qiuxiang about the house, then Xiao Mo would definitely blame herself, so when the words came to her mouth, she shook her head again and didn't say anything.

Since it is for Xiao Mo to catch the wind, of course Li Ji wants to call all the people in the county office, and then introduce Xiao Mo one by one, and then everyone has a good drink, of course, on such an occasion, Li Ji will not talk about business with Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo can't drink because he is weak around him, so after greeting everyone one by one, he looked bored at the private room, the officials of the county government, and then wrote them down in his heart one by one.

These are his future colleagues, Xiao Mo was alienated by the people in the company because he was not treated by his boss in the company, so now Xiao Mo has also learned to be obedient, since he wants to serve in the county government, he will first find out the habits and preferences of these future colleagues, and know that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles!

After eating a meal for more than half an hour, Xiao Mo was finally pushed back home by Zhou Kui, but Lin Yiye was not with Xiao Mo, but he was afraid that because of the relationship between the murderous house, Lin Yiye was afraid of getting dirty things, so he lived in the housing assigned to the officials in the county office.

After returning home, Xiao Mo entered the door, and Yu Niang suddenly threw herself into Xiao Mo's arms, sobbing and said, "Ziheng, you finally came back, I ......"

Xiao Mo was startled, thinking that something had happened to Meng Qiuxiang, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, if you have something to say, is your mother sick again?" ”

Yu Niang shook her head, pointed to the side yard, and said for a long time: "There, there's a female voice there, crying all the time......"

After saying that, Yu Niang curled up her body in fear, buried her head in Xiao Mo's chest, and then closed her eyes!
