Li Mu found Yi Fan and Nu Luo on Qingyang Road, Yi Fan's face was full of sweat, and Nu Luo who followed her was holding a string of sugar gourds and licking them contentedly.

"Hey, Yi Fan, how are you looking?" asked Li Mu.

Yi Fan scolded: "You are doing a good job as a helper. ”

Li Mu smiled: "Didn't you say that you are in charge of finance?"

", this errand job counts as a bird's financial power. Yi Fan looked left and right and said, "Don't talk about this yet, find a place to sit down and drink saliva first, I'm dying of thirst." ”

Li Mu said: "Whatever you want." ”

The three of them came to a teahouse and sat down, and after the herbal tea came up, Yi Fan drank a big bowl in one go, then wiped his mouth and said, "To be honest, if you want to find a house and settle down, you can do it with money." But it was a bit difficult to find a place that could accommodate many people. ”

"The scale of the Green Cockroach Gang Zhuangzi has obviously been in business for many years. If such a Zhuangzi wants to take it down in one go, the better position will probably cost 18,000 taels. The point is that no one has sold it yet. Yi Fan shook his head.

Li Mu held the tea bowl, "We don't need to eat fat in one go, what about a slightly larger yard?"

"Yes. Yi Fan burped.

Li Mu reached out and took a plate of tea cake and handed it to Nu Luo, Yi Fan intercepted on the way, reached out and grabbed a piece and threw it into his mouth. "There are large and small yards, and it is no problem for a big one to live with more than a dozen people. ”

"What about the price?" asked Li Mu.

Yi Fan patted his chest and boasted, "We're not bad for money." "But you can't be the wronged boss, right?" Li Mu persuaded.

"I love that little yard to the east. Nu Luo grabbed the tea cake in one hand and pinched the sugar gourd in the other.

Li Mu asked, "Which small courtyard?"

Yi Fan glanced at Nu Luo and said, "There is a small courtyard outside the east side of Liji Road, about three rooms, and there are two small vegetable gardens in front of and behind the house, where you can grow vegetables and flowers. This little girl has taken a fancy to that place. After saying this, he lowered his voice, "Do you think this is stupid?"

Li Mu thought for a moment, and then said, "Li Ji Lu's words are okay." The fortune gambling house is in the Rihime Road. It's not too far. ”

"Why are you seriously thinking about it?" Yi Fan was a little speechless, and he said again, "Speaking of gambling houses, the fortune gambling house is also in our territory, right?

"Yes, the spectators just need to live inside. But Nu Luo is a girl, so she can't come with us. In addition, I am in a special situation now, so I probably can't live there permanently. So I thought I would find another place that could accommodate everyone, and if not, we could live a few of us. Li Mu said.

"So, you're in favor of that place too?" Yi Fan confirmed.

Li Mu nodded, "Just as you and I still have a place for the three of Nuluo, next, let's find a few more people, and arrange it in the fortune gambling house first." ”

"Okay, you're the helper, listen to you. I'll go and buy the yard in a moment. Yi Fan waved his hand. Nu Luo on the side showed a smile on her face, she patted her hand on Yi Fan's body after eating the tea cake, and said with appreciation: "Well done." ”

"By the way, Yi Fan, how much do you know about Xianzong?" Li Mu suddenly asked.

Yi Fan saw that his face was a little strange, and he was puzzled: "What do you say, although I am familiar with Uncle Xie, I don't know much about Xianzong." I only know that he has been following Uncle Xie for many years, and Uncle Xie trusts him very much. ”

Li Mu said: "I went to the gambling house just now, and now it is the brother of the Snake Gang who takes over the gambling house. ”

"yes, we don't have to go, at least we have to let them take control. Yi Fan didn't feel anything wrong.

"But I don't think he's what he wants to be for us. Li Mu took a sip of tea.

Yi Fan frowned and said, "It shouldn't be." Uncle Xie said it himself, he doesn't know if he has no reason, right? Besides, he is under one person in the Snake Gang and above ten thousand, so he won't be able to get along with us for such a gambling house, right?"

"yes. Li Mu agreed, "That's why I think it's a little strange." It always felt like he was taking the opportunity to knock us up. ”

Yi Fan persuaded: "He has no reason." We are a family with the Snake Gang, and you see, we haven't seen any major conflict between the Snake Gang and the Da Kun Gang. ”

"I guess I'm thinking too much. Well, let's settle down the yard today, and then we'll clean it and move in. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the gambling house, and then, we'll start recruiting. Li Mu determined the general direction.

Speaking of this, Yi Fan had a headache. "Li Mu, we recruit people, and it doesn't seem to be very easy to recruit. ”

"What do you say?" Li Mu looked at Yi Fan.

Yi Fan pointed to the east, "Uncle Xie, over there, has been recruiting people recently. The Serpent's reputation is now loud. Our Nine Songs Gang, if you want no people, you want no name, how can you do it?"

"We're rich, boss!" Li Mu slapped the table. Yi Fan also slapped the table, "It's useless to have money in this matter! I came for money, turned around and offered a higher price to others, and went to someone's place." ”

"Isn't it more unreliable for the sake of fame?" Li Mu said, "In short, we have to put up the shelf first." ”

"Okay, listen to you. Yi Fan waved his hand, "You are the helper, listen to you." This sentence became Yi Fanxin's mantra.

Li Mu and Yi Fan discussed for a while, and then took Nu Luo to the courtyard that Yi Fan had talked about. To be honest, the location of this courtyard is really a bit off, and at the end of the road, you can almost see the Renyuan River.

However, there are advantages to such a remote position. Compared to the central boundary, it is very quiet. The owner of this house is a weak woman surnamed Wen, and this courtyard is the family business left by her ancestors.

Although the house is old, it has been renovated. It's just that this woman will soon marry away from home, and her family is gone, so keeping this yard is only to increase sentimentality.

Li Mu walked to the yard and took a look, the overall layout was okay, but the vegetable gardens in front and back of the yard were neglected and overgrown with weeds. As for the inside of the room, everything has been emptied, and only basic furniture remains.

Miss Wen said, "This is the main room with a living room. There are two wings on the side, which are not small. If you don't like the vegetable garden in the backyard, you can also build a shed and pile up sundries or something. She said as she touched the courtyard door. It can be seen that she still has a lot of emotions for this place.

"How long have you been living here?" asked Li Mu.

Miss Wen replied, "That's where I grew up. ”

"That's been a long time. Li Mu looked left and right, and said to Yi Fan, "Boss, pay for it." ”

Yi Fan took out the silver ticket and handed it to the girl. Miss Wen took the silver ticket and carefully checked it carefully before carefully putting it away. The deed of ownership was all handed over to Li Mu, and this yard was regarded as a surname.

Miss Wen took one last look at the courtyard and said to the three of them, "Everyone, some people say that this courtyard has bad feng shui, so my family will die one after another." But I know that it is our ancestral disease, and we don't care about the yard. Three of them and live in peace. ”

"Thank you, girl. Li Mu thanked him, and then watched Miss Wen go away.

"Hey, I'll just say how can this house be cheaper. I see. Yi Fan somewhat understood. Li Mu looked at him and said, "We don't have to worry about these things. Nu Luo, choose a room. ”

Nu Luo looked left and right, and then pointed to the main room in the middle, "I want this one." ”

"Okay. Li Mu agreed without thinking about it. Yi Fan shrugged his shoulders and said he had no opinion. In the next two rooms, Li Mu chose the east and Yi Fan chose the west, anyway, it didn't matter if the two of them did.

The three of them found a rag and a broom, and cleaned and put it all in the room. Then the three of them returned to the main hall of the Snake Gang and retrieved their luggage. By the time they returned to the courtyard and were settled, night had already fallen.

Although there is firewood in the small courtyard, how can the three of them have the strength to buy vegetables and cook outside the busy area all day? So the three dragged their tired bodies along the Rihime Road in search of a restaurant.

The stars were scarce at night, and the three of them found an inn to eat. Yi Fan ordered, there are not many dishes, but chicken, duck and fish are available. Nu Luo ate happily. Yi Fan and Li Mu asked for a bottle of wine.

Li Mu poured it for Yi Fan and filled himself with a full cup.

Yi Fan looked at the wine in the cup and said with some embarrassment: "When I escaped from Yacheng with you and went to Lizhou, we also ate like this. But there's no comparison. ”

Li Mu smiled, "It's different now." Of course, it will be more different in the future. ”

"It's good to have your words. Yi Fan raised his glass, "Helper, please." "Deputy Gang Leader, please. The two of them drank a cup and drank it all.
