Chapter Thirty-Four: People with Stories

The eating place was arranged in the courtyard where 20 boys lived. The food was also very simple. The dry food was a large bowl of multi-grain pancakes piled high and sharp. The vegetables were a bowl of salted peanuts and a pot of frozen cabbage soup.

There is a layer of fatty meat slices floating on top of the vegetable soup.

With such a simple meal, the seven beggars were as excited as if they were celebrating the New Year.

"Little owner, from now on we will be the long-term workers in the villa. Can we eat every meal we want?" an older beggar asked with trembling lips.

"Uncle, the open space around the dry well will be planted with grain and vegetables when spring begins. You will also build a row of houses there. There will be endless work to do in the future. It is necessary to have a full stomach, and you all must

You see, the life in the villa is like that of ordinary people. It is impossible for us to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, fish and meat for every meal. The owner of the village guarantees that we will have enough food, clothing, food and shelter every day."

"Little village owner, what you said is true. The life of ordinary people is the life that people live. We have gone to heaven in one step, and we can finally have three meals a day without worries."

"Brother, if we go back several generations, none of us is not a farmer. We always think that we have some ability to serve the court, but in the end we end up begging on the street and living a worse life than a guard dog in a high-rise compound." Another beggar,

He was talking vaguely with a piece of fat meat in his mouth.

"Here comes the wine. I have been doing dirty work for a long time. I have a sip of wine to calm down the bad luck. It is not a good wine. It was saved by our old owner when he was alive. I have a full bowl and I am full and ready. Let's go for now.

Let’s stay in the guest room of the villa for a while.” The old man came over with a jar of wine.

"Old imperial doctor, I didn't expect that I could still drink wine." A beggar said drunkenly before he could finish his drink.

"What is the old doctor? That's all old history. I am now a doctor in the villa. From now on, you will call me old doctor. If anyone mentions those two words again, I, old doctor, will get angry with him."

"Old doctor, you are still shrewd. Although you may have coarse clothes and a simple diet, living a stable and smooth life is better than anything else."

"Uncle, when it comes to clothes, I think of it. It's freezing cold today, and you are all wearing thin clothes. Tomorrow, I will find some clothes worn by the men in the villa. If you don't dislike it and don't have any taboos, you can put it on.

Cotton coat."

"Little owner, what should we be taboo about? The City God's Temple was reduced to rubble during the two palace revolutions. We have seen a lot of life and death. If you think about it, I haven't worn a cotton-padded coat for many years."

"Little village owner, it's still early to start farming in this freezing cold weather, and it's not possible to build a house. The three of us can't just eat for nothing." An old beggar who didn't talk much asked.

"Uncle, almost all the men in our villa are dead, leaving only a few hundred women, children, old and young. Starting tomorrow, you guys will temporarily guard the gate of the villa, and patrol the villa twice every morning and evening. There are two inspections every month.

The wages of two taels of silver are more than enough."

"Little owner of the village, you are our living Bodhisattva. From now on, I can also make money by my own skills. By the way, don't call us uncles and uncles. Since we have all become long-term workers in the villa, why don't you please

The young master gives us names."

"Uncle, you all should come up with a name that is easy to remember. In addition, you have to choose a leader. If you have any future arrangements, the owner of the village can just tell your leader."

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

"Yuyu, are you asleep or awake? You helped choose these people when we were in the ruined temple, and you don't even know whether they are reliable or not." Yuqing also said in his spiritual consciousness.

"Master, I am sleeping and waiting for a breakthrough. It is not sleeping in the sense of your human beings. I just can't use divine power and kung fu when sleeping, but my brain is still easy to use. Exploring souls is a skill that comes naturally to us. Master will not be able to use it in the future.

Question my vision again. I’m too sad to go to sleep.” Yuyu’s voice disappeared, and a slight snoring sound came from Yuqing’s mind.

"Uncle, the owner of the village sees that you are the oldest. From now on, you will be the head of these people. In addition, you guys should start cooking by yourself, or eat with these children."

"Little farm owner, then I won't refuse to be the leader of these people. How can we men cook? It's better for the small farm owner to find a wife."

"That's fine. It's just that the house in the back hasn't been built yet, so you guys will come over for dinner first. Uncle, you can rest early after dinner. We will discuss the specific matters tomorrow morning."

It was already midnight when Yuqing returned to Liuyuan'er, and the nanny was still sitting in the main room waiting for her.

"Miss, you are finally back. The person you brought back with his broken leg is your father's deputy general."

"Shh, Grandma, you don't have to wait for me to come back when it's too late. I'm so tired from the day and my back hurts." Yuqing hurriedly stopped Grandma from talking.

"I'm sorry for you, Miss. You go and lie on the bed, and Nanny will rub it for you."

"Miss, was someone eavesdropping just now?" After entering Yuqing's bedroom, the nanny asked in a low voice.

"No, be careful that the partition wall has ears. It's always better to be cautious.'" Yuqing said hurriedly for fear of scaring the nanny. In fact, the soul pen reminded her just after entering the yard that there was someone under the next wall.

"Miss, besides his seventh aunt who is doing everything in the seventh courtyard, who else would be doing the things in the corner?"

"Nanny, the uncle whose legs were broken said when he was in the ruined temple that he was a member of the God of War. Yuqing was thinking at that time, if this uncle was not upright and saw through the world of mortals, and no longer cared about life and death. That would be

He had ulterior motives for our villa. Later, I felt that he didn’t look like this kind of person. Nanny, do I look like my father?"

"Miss, you look more like your mother. You have the boldness and wisdom of the women in Bianzhai. Vice General Shao has met your mother several times and had dinner at your maternal grandfather's house. I was in your mother's yard at that time.

Auntie, we are relatively acquaintances, and we recognized each other as soon as we met today. When he was in the ruined temple, he saw that you looked so much like the princess, and even if he was not sure about your identity, he still

I feel a sense of closeness in my heart. Miss, this is fate. Vice General Shao has great martial arts skills. He has followed your father, the God of War, through life and death many times. He is a trustworthy person."

"No wonder Uncle Shao told so many secrets as soon as we met. But in troubled times, we always have to be cautious. I heard from him that my father has disappeared. My father's subordinates have all returned to the imperial city, so he is not afraid of being identified.

come out."

"Miss, it has been more than ten years since this happened. The people who were recalled from the frontier fortress had also gone through various investigations by the court at that time. There has been no news about your father. The court believed that your father was dead. Your father has a total of

After the two lieutenants were recalled to the imperial city, these people with strong martial arts skills were recruited by various princes' palaces. Another lieutenant was killed in the chaos of the palace. Lieutenant Shao's later master was the new emperor, and the other

The lieutenant general's master is the current emperor. The former comrades are now their own masters. Lieutenant General Shao's legs were broken, and the deputy general's neck was wiped. It is impossible to count how many people died in the two palace changes, and it was only then that Lieutenant General Shao was able to break the

He escaped pursuit in the temple."

"Nanny, Uncle Shao will be the caretaker of our yard from now on."

"Don't worry, Miss. We were master and servant in the past and now. Grandma will never let anyone see any clues, so you can rest assured to take care of this villa."

It was another new day. After breakfast, Yuqing rushed to the villa. The beggars had changed into cotton-padded clothes and had a full meal, and they were all in high spirits.

"Miss Village Owner, we have chosen the names. The ghost's last name is 1,234,567, and they are all standing in order. Let Miss Village Owner recognize them." The ghost boss gave the order, and the seven people stood in a line.

Okay. This made Yuqing a little surprised and also had some thoughts. These seven beggars looked like well-trained soldiers.

"Uncle, why do you have the surname Gui?"

"Bad names and bad surnames are destined to die. Another reason is that we were reborn in the days when we were filling in wells to suppress ghosts in the villa. In this troubled world, not all surnames are unlucky. The ghost surname is the only one."

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

"Miss Village Owner, although we are from a beggar background, we are also upright people. If we don't do human affairs, we will be killed at the discretion of the village owner." The ghost boss also answered frankly.

"Very good, you go to work."

Watching the ghost boss arrange for two people to guard the gate and take the remaining people to patrol the villa. Yuqing came to the children's yard again, where Ye Xuan and Zheng'er were already there.

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

"Yexuan, the three of us were just pampered young ladies not long ago. Now we have to be in the public eye and take care of the villa. They are no longer young masters in a wealthy family. From now on, they will be the villagers in our villa. What else do we need in life?"

Set it up as soon as possible and start running around the villa before breakfast tomorrow. Start practicing after breakfast, learn to read after lunch, and practice for a while before going to bed."

"Master Yuqing, we already explained this yesterday. The mute mother-in-law didn't come early in the morning, so these boys ran around the yard several times."

"My master is old. It's okay to teach these children Kung Fu. It's not appropriate to wake up early and run with them. Tomorrow the three of us will take them for a run. If there is nothing in the villa, we will also learn Kung Fu together."

"Master, we have to run too. The saliva of these seven aunts and eight aunts in the villa can drown us." Ye Xuan said with disapproval.

"Yes, Villa Master, my mother won't agree either. 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. In fact, she didn't want them to get involved in this matter. So she said smoothly: "You two continue to be the ladies of the world. My reputation is already like that. It's better to follow the master."

Learn more skills. Liuyuaner has a small population. I am busy in the villa, and only my grandma and two young brothers are left at home. But they are not comparable to your courtyard. Even if they are all women, they are still better than us in Liuyuaner.

many."

"Master, there are a lot of people in our yard, and they all want to live their own lives. My father and brother were fine when they were alive. Now the women in the house quarrel and bicker when they are idle, and their heads hurt when they get home every day.

.”

"Xuan Ye, I thought it was just our courtyard that was at odds with each other, but it turns out that you three courtyards are also the same. Fortunately, we haven't made any noise to separate the family. I am now in charge of things in the villa, so my mother can straighten her back and not be bullied.

Just like who is afraid of breaking up the family? After the family is divided, my mother and I can live a better life than anyone else."

"Xuan Ye, Zhen'er, every family has difficult things to recite, and life is not easy. I want to go to the girls' courtyard to have a look, will you guys go?" Yu Qing didn't want to get involved in what happened in their courtyard, so she was also there.

I admire my aunt in my heart. There are many wives and concubines in every yard. My aunt and uncle have been loving each other for so many years. They are really role models for men in the villa. In the past, when the man in charge of each house was alive, he was fine, at most.

That is to say, the women are quarreling and jealous. Now that the man is dead, there is no one to suppress them and they are letting themselves go. I heard from the nanny that the sisters-in-law in the seventh courtyard are quarreling every day, and even the children are crying and fussing.

Alas, why bother women? Yuqing was thinking about something on her mind, while Xuan Ye and Zhen'er over there said they didn't want to see those girls.

"Master, you'd better go there by yourself. There was someone living in that courtyard originally, a family of a concubine of the Ye family. The old lady made a long face all day long, as if someone owed her money and hadn't paid it back. Now that courtyard is...

There was only one little girl left, but she was taken care of by the old lady and she didn't look like a girl. The old man's wife thought that they were the only two left in that courtyard, so she sent these girls there to keep them company. Thanks to them.

The wife of the old manor sent it here, but if we both send it through the door, we can't get through."
