The place to eat was arranged in the courtyard where 20 boys lived. The meals are also very simple, and the dry food is a large pot of spiky multigrain cakes. The dish is a pot of salted peanuts and a pot of frozen cabbage soup with a layer of fatty slices floating on top of the vegetable soup.

It's such a simple meal, and the 7 beggars are as excited as the New Year.

"Little farmer, in the future, we will be the long-term workers in the villa, can we eat every meal as much as we want?" An older beggar asked with trembling lips.

"Uncle, there is a vacant lot around the dry well, where grain and vegetables are going to be planted at the beginning of spring. You still have to build a row of houses there, and you won't be able to finish the work in the future. It is necessary to have a full stomach, and you have all seen it, and the villa is the life of ordinary people. We can't eat every meal, the owner of the village guarantees that the coarse tea and light rice are full and warm, and there is food and a house on a warm day. ”

"Little farmer, you are telling the truth, the life of ordinary people is the life of people. We have gone to heaven in one step, and we can finally have three meals without worry. ”

"Big brother, we people have been talking about several generations, which one of us is not from a farmer's background. always thought that he had some ability to serve the court, but in the end he ended up begging along the street and living worse than the guard dog in the Gaomen compound. Another beggar, with a slice of fat in his mouth, muttered indistinctly.

"When the wine came, I did dirty work for a long time, and I drank a sip of wine to suppress the shock and go to bad luck. It's not a good wine, it's something we saved when our old owner was alive. After a bowl full of food and drink, I went to the guest room of the villa for a few days for the time being. The old man came over with a jar of wine.

"Old Imperial Doctor, I didn't expect I to be able to drink." A beggar said drunk before he got drunk.

"What an old imperial doctor, that's all the old yellow calendar, and I'm now a Langzhong in the villa. In the future, you will call me Lao Langzhong, and whoever mentions those two words again will be anxious with him. ”

"Old man, you are still shrewd. Although it is said that it is coarse cloth clothes and coarse tea and light rice, it is better to live a stable and smooth life than anything else. ”

"Uncle, when it comes to clothes, the owner of the village remembers. It's freezing on this day, and you're all dressed thinly. Tomorrow the owner of the farm will find some clothes worn by the men in the villa. If you don't dislike it and don't have any taboos, just change into cotton clothes. ”

"Little farmer, what do we have to taboo? The two palace changes and the city god temple has been beaten into ruins, and we have seen a lot of life and death. If you do the math, I haven't worn a cotton coat in years. ”

"Little farmer, it's still early to farm in the cold, and it's not good to build a house. A few of us can't eat for nothing. An old beggar who didn't talk much asked.

"Uncle, almost all the men in our mountain villa are dead, and there are hundreds of women, children, and children left. From tomorrow onwards, you will be guarding the gate of the villa for the time being, patrolling the villa twice a day, morning and evening. There are two taels of silver every month, which is more than the upper than the bottom. ”

"Little farmer, you are our living bodhisattva, and I will be able to earn money by my own skills in the future. By the way, don't always call us uncles. Since we have all done the long-term work in the mountain villa, we also ask the little master to give us a name. ”

"Uncle, it's better for you to choose an easy-to-remember name by yourself. In addition, you have to choose a head, and if there is any arrangement in the future, the owner of the village will just say it to your head. ”

"Master, this uncle is the most suitable head." At this time, the voice of the soul pen sounded in Yuqing's mind again.

"Yuyu, are you asleep or awake? When you were in the broken temple, you helped choose these people, and you didn't know if they were reliable or not. Yuqing also said in his divine sense.

"Master, I'm dormant waiting for a breakthrough, not sleep in the human sense of the word. When people are sleeping, they just can't use divine power kung fu, and the head melon is still easy to use. Soul exploration is our own ability, and the master can no longer question my vision in the future. Too sad to sleep. Yuyu's voice was gone, and a slight snoring sound came from Yuqing's mind again.

"Uncle, the owner of this village looks at you as the oldest, and you will be the head of these people in the future. Also, do you cook by yourself, or do you eat with the children? ”

"Little owner, then I won't shirk being the head of these people. Where do we men know how to cook, let's find a mother-in-law for the little farmer. ”

"It's okay, it's just that the house in the back hasn't been built yet, so a few of you will come over for dinner first. Uncle, you can rest early after eating, and we will discuss the specific matters tomorrow morning. ”

When Yuqing returned to the Sixth Courtyard, it was already midnight, and Mama Grandma was still sitting in the hall waiting for her.

"Miss, you can be regarded as back, the person you brought back with a broken leg is your father's lieutenant."

"Shhh, grandma, you don't have to wait for me to come back when it's too late in the future, I'm tired of backache this day." Yuqing hurriedly stopped the grandmother-in-law from talking.

"It's hard for you, miss, you go to the bed and lie on the milk and rub it for you."

"Miss, did someone eavesdrop on it just now?" Entering Yuqing's bedroom, Mama Grandma asked in a low voice.

"No, be careful that the wall has ears, it's always good to be cautious." Afraid of scaring the grandmother, Yuqing hurriedly said. In fact, just now when I entered the courtyard, I reminded that there was someone under the root of the wall next door.

"Miss, apart from his seventh aunt who is doing things in the Seventh Courtyard, who else will listen to the things in the corner?"

"Mama, the uncle who broke his leg said when he was in the broken temple that he was the man of the god of war. Yuqing was thinking at that time that if this uncle didn't see through Hongchen uprightly, he didn't care about life and death. That's an ulterior motive for our villa. Later, I didn't think he was like this kind of person, grandma, do I look very much like my father? ”

"Miss, you look more like your mother. With the boldness and wisdom of a woman in the border village, Vice General Shao has met your mother a few times and had dinner at your grandfather's house. I was the pulp washing grandmother in your mother's yard at that time, and he and I were acquaintances, and we recognized each other as soon as we met today. When he was in the ruined temple, he saw that you looked too similar to the princess, and even if he didn't dare to determine your identity, he felt a sense of closeness in his heart. Miss, this is fate, Vice General Shao is strong in martial arts, and he has followed your God of War how many times he has been born and died, and he is a person who can be trusted. ”

"No wonder Uncle Shao told so many secrets as soon as they met. But in the troubled times, we always have to have more eyes, and I heard him say that my father is missing. My father's subordinates have all returned to the imperial city, and he is not afraid of being recognized. ”

"Miss, more than ten years have passed since this incident, and the people who were recalled from Biansai back then have also gone through many investigations by the imperial court at that time. There has been no news from your father, and the court believes that your father is dead. Your father has a total of two lieutenant generals, and after being recalled to the imperial city, these people with strong martial arts skills were recruited by various princes' mansions. There was also a lieutenant who was killed in the chaotic battle of the palace mutiny. Vice General Shao's later master was the new emperor, and the master of the other deputy general was the current emperor. The former comrades-in-arms are now their own masters, Vice General Shao broke his legs, and that Vice General wiped his neck. It is impossible to count how many people died in the two palace changes, and Vice General Shao was able to escape the pursuit in the broken temple. ”

"Grandma, Uncle Shao will be the caretaker in our yard in the future."

"Miss, don't worry, we were all masters and servants in the past. Grandma will never let people see the slightest clue, and you can rest assured to take care of this villa. ”

It's a new day, and after breakfast, Yuqing rushed to the villa. The beggars had changed their cotton clothes and had a full meal, and they were all full of energy.

"Miss Zhuang, we have chosen the name. The surnames and ghost names are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, all of them stand in order, and ask the owner to recognize them. The ghost boss gave an order, and the seven people stood in a row. This made Yuqing a little surprised, and he also had some thoughts. The seven beggars looked like well-trained soldiers.

"Uncle, why do you want to be surnamed Ghost?"

"Another reason is that we are reborn for the days when the ghosts of the mountain villa filled in the well town. In this troubled world, there is not necessarily a surname that is unlucky, and the surname ghost is the only one. ”

"Uncle Ghost, two people guard the gate of the villa every day, and the rest of the people patrol the villa. The villa is now full of women, children, old and young, and the owner of the village doesn't want to hear anything bad. Yuqing said with a straight face.

"Miss Zhuang, although we are from a begging background, we are also upright people. If we don't do anything about people, it's all up to the owner of the small village to kill. The ghost boss also replied frankly.

"Very well, you guys go to work."

watched the ghost boss arrange two people to guard the gate, and then took the rest of the people to patrol the villa. Yuqing came to the children's yard again, and Ye Xuan and Zheng'er were already here.

"Master Yuqing, we interrogated yesterday and found that most of these boys were orphans, and almost none of them were born in ordinary people's families. These children have never suffered since they were young, and it must be difficult to train. ”

"Ye Xuan, not long ago, the three of us were pampered young ladies, and now we don't have to show up to take care of the villa. They are no longer the young masters and sons of the high-ranking families, and they will be the Zhuang Ding in our mountain villa in the future. If there is anything else you need in life, settle it as soon as possible, and start running around the mountain villa before breakfast from tomorrow. After breakfast, I started to practice, after lunch I learned to read and write, and I had to practice for a while before going to bed. ”

"Master Yuqing, we have already explained these yesterday. The dumb mother-in-law didn't come early in the morning, and the boys ran around the yard a few times. ”

"My master is old, so it's okay to teach these kids kung fu, but it's not good to get up early and run with them. Tomorrow the three of us will run with them, and if there is nothing going on in the villa, we will also learn kung fu together. ”

"Owner, we have to run along. The saliva of these seven aunts and eight aunts in the villa can drown us. Ye Xuan said disapprovingly.

"Yes, owner, my mother won't agree, I'm like a crazy girl. I'd better worry about things in the villa with Ye Xuan. Zhen'er also shook her head and said.

Yuqing didn't force them, but in fact, he didn't want them to get involved in this matter in his heart. So he also said along the water: "You two continue to be everyone's girlfriends, my reputation is already like that, it is better to learn more skills from the master." The population of the Sixth Courtyard is already small, and I am busy in the villa, leaving my grandmother and two young brothers at home. It's not as good as your yard, even if it's all women, there are more people than our six yards. ”

"Owner, there are a lot of people in our yard, and they all want to live their own little lives, and my father and brother were fine when they were alive. Now the women in a few rooms quarrel and quarrel when they are idle, and their brains hurt every day when they get home. ”

"Ye Xuan, I thought that there was disharmony in our courtyard, but it turned out that your three courtyards were the same. Fortunately, I haven't made any noise to split up, and I'm now in charge of the villa, so that my mother can straighten her waist and not be bullied. It's like who is afraid of separating the family, if the family is separated, my mother and I will keep our lives better than anyone else. ”

"Ye Xuan, Zhen'er, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is not easy to live. I'm going to go to the girls' house, won't you? Yuqing didn't want to get involved in the affairs of their yard, and she also admired her aunt in her heart, which yard was not full of several wives and concubines. My aunt and my aunt have been loving and loving for so many years, and they are really role models for men in the villa. In the past, when the men in every house and house were alive, it was fine, but at most it was a commotion of women who were jealous. Now that the man is dead, no one above is suppressing and letting himself go. I heard that the grandmother said that the concubines in the seventh courtyard quarreled every day, and even the children cried and cried.

Alas, why should women be embarrassed by women. Yuqing was thinking about things here, and Ye Xuan and Zhen'er said that they didn't want to see those girls.

"Owner, you'd better go by yourself. The courtyard was originally inhabited by people, and it was a family of the Ye family. The old lady wore a long face all day long, as if someone owed her money and hadn't paid it back. Now there is only a little girl left in the courtyard, and she is not a girl who has been taken by the old lady. The old farmer's wife thought that there were only their grandchildren left in that courtyard, and she sent these girls over to be their companions. Thanks to the old owner's wife, if we sent the door, we wouldn't be able to enter. ”

"That's the case, the owner of the village will go over and take a look."
