Chapter Thirty-two
"Miss, I'm so excited. Since I'm here, come in." As soon as Yuqing finished speaking, a man's voice sounded in the room in front of her.
"Yuqing, follow the master." The mute woman said as she was already on guard.
"Mummy mother-in-law, you still protect the people around you so honestly, but unfortunately there are few people who know how to be grateful. The person you sacrificed your life to protect you is now the queen mother. But you have long forgotten you, the female guard of the court, back then. Otherwise, you should have taken you into the palace to enjoy your old age." The man in the room continued.
"You escaped from the palace, who are you?"
"I was a spectator back then, but now I am a dying person. It doesn't matter who I am. It has been targeted by the court for a long time. If there is nothing else, you should leave, there is only one life."
While talking inside and outside, the mute woman and Yuqing had already walked to the door of the house. But a little beggar walked out of the house, holding a dead tree stick in his hand and blocked the door.
"My master told you to leave, why haven't you left yet?" Yuqing couldn't help laughing as she looked like a thin boy in his 10-year-old pretending to be mighty.
"Little brother, my sister and my master came here to find beggars. We won't leave without finding anyone. Also, my sister told you that your stick is too unsolid. It is very likely that it would break before it hits someone."
"You're talking nonsense. When the imperial soldiers came to search this morning, they didn't dare to enter this room."
"Silly kids, what they are afraid of is not the dead tree stick in your hand, but the master inside. Good kids, we have no malice, and we are really looking for a few beggars to work for our villa." The mute mother-in-law also lowered her voice and said to the little boy. Yuqing passed the master and lifted the straw curtain and walked into the house.
"Old grandma, you lied to someone to work in your villa. You should go to Renyazi. We beggars don't even have enough food to eat, so how can we have the energy to work?"
"Child, there is a well in our villa. Now I want to find someone to fill it in. Only you beggars can save the dirt. After helping us fill the well in the villa, you can stay in the villa to help us farm, and you don't have to come out to beg for food in the future." The mute woman patiently explained to the little boy. In fact, he was delaying the time for saving people for Yuqing. The people inside have already said that he was a spectator back then and now he was a dying person, which also means that he escaped from the palace.
The concubine she saved back then has become the empress dowager. It turns out that he is pregnant with the current Xinxin Emperor. But that child is clearly not the seed of the old emperor, so why is he the emperor now?
Remember that the old emperor heard some rumors and sent someone to secretly kill the concubine. At that time, he was the female guard in the palace, and it was instinct to protect the master. Later, the concubine was grateful for her saving grace and allowed her to leave the palace to find a wife to live a good life. She also gave her a lot of money at that time, but she was plotted to be poisoned as soon as she walked out of the palace. Fortunately, she met the old owner who saved her life, and the old imperial doctor who was driven out of the palace was in that villa and detoxified her in time.
Now that I think about the one who poisoned me, I might be the concubines of that year. Concubines were such a good method. Not only did they pass the old emperor's hurdle, they also supported their son to become the new emperor.
"Grandma, what you said is true. Can I help you fill the well? But I have to bring my master with me. Both of his legs were interrupted in the chaos of the palace. However, the master said that he would not die without his wish."
"Okay, as long as you are not afraid, go."
When Yuqing walked into the house, he saw a man lying on the dry grass on the ground. The man's legs were obviously broken, and the wound was infected and pus, emitting a fishy smell. If his legs were not treated in time, the least they would be a useless person in the future, and the worst would be a life-threatening person.
"Miss, this is not where you come. Even if your father and brother are gone, there should be an older woman doing such things." The man on the haystack said, looking at Yuqing who came in.
"Heroine, I am the new owner of Qi's Villa. I have to go wherever I should go, and do what I should do or not. In the current troubled times, what do men, women, young and old should pay attention to? It is the right way to live well."
"Miss, you are so happy. I heard that you are here to help the villa fill the well. It doesn't matter whether you make a haunted thing or not. I am not a hero, but a waste who was broken by someone in the chaos. As for my current situation, it is impossible to live a stable life when you think of your villa."
"Mr. I forgot to tell you that I am a doctor or a doctor with excellent medical skills. The wound on your broken leg has been infected and suppurated, and the broken leg bones need to be restored in time. Otherwise, your paralysis in the second half of your life is the best result. My lady can cure your legs. Even if you cannot walk vigorously in the future, it is still okay to be a normal person." Yuqing's words amused the man on the haystack.
"You lady is quite interesting. There are few good people these days, and kindness may not be rewarded. The lady insists on saving me, but I don't know what I have to do?"
"Heroic, if I guessed well, you should have escaped from the palace, and maybe the guards of the prince who is lucky. My wife's goal is your kung fu. When your legs are well, I will help me do something. As for what, I will wait until your legs are well. For you, this is a sure thing to make a profit. If you are willing to treat your legs now, I will not know if I will be interrupted again in the future."
"The little owner of the farm is still a female owner. It's really right to say that heroes come from troubled times. Miss, what you guessed just now is right, but I can't tell you anything now. I'll ask you to cure my legs and I will be the lady's guard in the future."
"The deal is done! Master, please help your apprentice find a few wooden boards." Yuqing explained to the door, and then started to heal the man on the haystack.
"Uncle, the wound is infected and suppurated and needs to be scraped off the rotten flesh, which may hurt you very much."
"It's okay, the physical pain is nothing compared to the coldness of the heart. The little owner of the country, when my leg injury heals, I will help you train an invincible army. Please believe in my ability. Even if you can't compare to the King of War God, it's better than the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the court."
"Uncle, do you know the God of War?"
"I met, I was once a general under the command of the God of War. After the God of War disappeared, I was recalled to the imperial city."
"Ah! The God of War is not dead?"
"Of course I didn't die. The traitors came out of the army, and we were surrounded by the enemy. It was the King of War God who led us to fight a path of blood. Not only did we defeat the enemy, but they also made them make an alliance to never invade the border of Yan State again. Later, the Prince went to the villages on the border to pick up his wife and a pair of children, but he didn't expect that he would never come back."
"You haven't gone to that village to find the King of War God?"
"How come we haven't been to find it? Almost all the people in the village are dead. I heard from several survivors that the prince was chased with his wife and children, and the people who were chasing him were not from the enemy. Later, we were recalled by the old emperor to the imperial city, and some of them defected to the new master for asylum. Those who were not attracted by others were executed."
"Why? You have been working hard to defend your country."
"Child, this is the current court, a foolish and unruly king, and a ruthless minister."
"Master, stop talking, someone is back." The little beggar reminded.
The sound of footsteps and speaking were also heard in the dilapidated temple yard. Yuqing had already processed two broken legs.
"Uncle, my master and I will go outside to pick a few people to the villa, and then let's go together. Little brother, please be careful that your master should not let him move."
Looking at Yuqing's back walking out, the uncle on the haystack had a complicated expression. The little owner looked very much like the wife the God of War married in the border village. As the confidant and beloved general of the God of War, he was too familiar with that gentle and beautiful woman. I said too much today. Is it because she looks too much like his old friend? He could even imagine that the little owner changed into the national costumes of the King of War and looked like the wife of the King of War. Are there really two people in the world who look so similar?
The sound of the mute woman talking to the beggar came from outside.
"Hey, look at what you two are wearing, they don't look like they are poor and unable to eat. What are you doing in our dilapidated temple?" The beggar's head looked at the master and servant and asked.
"We came here to find someone to work in Qishi Village outside the city." said the mute woman.
"What kind of dirty and tiring work is a job that women cannot do? We are ugly sayings ahead. If we don't have enough money, we won't do it."
"Are you the leader here? Do you have the final say here?" Yuqing asked.
"Oh, what a beautiful little girl, this is giving your grandma courage. I am the head here. I have the final say on whom to call him or not. Tell me what kind of work it is, how many days they need to do? Ten taels of silver for work a day, and the dirty work is doubled. How many people are there?"
"You only need to ask for ten taels of silver. Why don't you rob it? Don't bully us and don't understand the market. In the past, I only needed one tael of silver to work for you every day."
"Oh, her grandma, now everything is with you. You have to buy people at Renyazi, and the price has increased. You have to support them for decades when you buy them. What's more, the work you are looking for is not good at finding us beggars, so I always have to seek some benefits for my subordinates." The beggar said as he listened, thinking in his heart what it means to buy people?
"It's easy to do if you have the final say. Our work is neither dirty nor tired, so we won't bargain with you. There is a dry well in our villa. Now we want to fill that well and work for a while."
"Miss, this is not an ordinary dirty job. If you charge 10 taels of silver, you will have to do the hard work of eating a hundred families. You really have to do this job. Each person is adding ten taels of silver. When they come back, they must find a monk and Taoist priest to recite scriptures and drive away evil spirits. And do you keep your word?"
"I am the current owner of Qi's Villa, so of course I keep my word. But you start the price here and are not very kind. It is the old rule not to bargain in such a thing. And we didn't want to ask them to come back after these 7 people went."
"What do you mean? I didn't expect that you, a little girl, are so cruel and ruthless. That's not that 7 people have 7 lives. Could it be that you want to bury 7 people alive to suppress ghosts?"
"You old man, you really have imagination. It's not about suppressing ghosts, it's about adding ghosts. Are all your people back? If everyone comes back, the owner of this manor will choose a few that can suppress ghosts. The price is ten taels of silver, and then you will stay in the villa to work as the long-term worker in the villa." Yuqing said as he watched the beggars who walked into the dilapidated temple one after another.
"There are such good things, I'll go there, so I can save you from going to beg for food in the wind and rain." said a man who had just walked into the dilapidated temple.
"Sister, let's go too. It's better to give wealthy people now than beg for food." The two and a half-old children who had been listening to the conversation in the yard for a while said.
"What are you going? You sell yourself for ten taels of silver."
"The rice is just a few shovels of soil. Ten taels of silver are enough. Moreover, the villa will have to support them in the next few decades. If the price cannot be negotiated, we will go somewhere else." The mute woman took the speech and said.
"Boss, people's lives are not worth the most these days. I will follow them, but I can't sell me to the villa for ten taels of silver. I'll still beg for food and no one cares about it." A man who looked at the thief and then whispered a few times to the beggar's head.
"Okay, anyway, bargaining for such things is not auspicious for both of us. The price may not increase, but you have to take the two people here. If you agree, you will choose a few people here to do ghost-restraining work for you." said the house where the beggar pointed at the broken leg and lived.
"You mean the broken leg and that child in the room. Aren't we losing money? Not to mention raising them for decades, even if his two broken legs are cured, it will cost a lot of money to be spent on curing them." Yuqing shouted hurriedly.
"Little owner, your villain is an old imperial doctor in the palace. How much money can you spend to find him to treat his illness?" The man with a stingy eyebrows and rat eyes said this, and the sound of gongs in the weeds reminded the sound of frames.
