Just as Wei Yunlan and Wei Mingxuan were talking, Heiyun hovered at Wei Yunlan's feet, panting and digging the ground with its claws, seeming a little impatient.
Wei Yunlan reached out and patted its head gently. "Okay, you don't have to stay here, go out and play."
After receiving this command, the black cloud's tail, which had been drooping, immediately stood up.
After shaking towards Wei Yunlan twice, he turned around and ran outside happily.
On the other side, there is Zhuangzi’s granary.
A thin middle-aged man, who was about the same age as the farm owner, asked in embarrassment, "Old Tian, are you sure we want to take out all this food? Otherwise, we can keep half of it to deal with emergencies."
At the side, another young man who looked three-quarters like the farm owner nodded vigorously, "Yes, uncle, what Uncle Wang said makes sense! If we don't have any food at all, what should we do if famine strikes us? Otherwise, we can return half of the food, no, most of it, and keep some for ourselves?"
"Do you think I don't want to embezzle a little more food?" The farm owner glared at his nephew and said seriously, "Our new boss is not someone you can fool."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the barking of dogs outside the granary.
Looking out through the open door, I saw that all the dogs in the village had run out. These dogs, which usually fought each other when they got together, were particularly obedient today. Upon closer inspection, I saw that there was a black dog with particularly sleek fur in the middle of them.
It looks like the one following the new owner.
The nephew of the Tian family followed his uncle's gaze and looked outside. After seeing this scene, he smacked his lips and said, "Wow, Da Huang and the others have changed their nature today. They are so obedient?"
They are not honest at all; they are clearly afraid of the black dog. They all submit to it!
The head of the farm muttered to himself.
Even the dogs they kept were so powerful, let alone humans? Not to mention the other things, just look at the guards who followed them. Each of them looked like they were not ordinary guards.
After thinking about it, the head of the farm became more determined and said to the other two people in the granary: "I think the new owner of our Tianwang Farm is someone with a great background. Think about it, in this world, is it safer to be clever and live a miserable life, or to follow a reliable master? I think it's the latter."
"The most important thing is that we can't hide our little cleverness from others. They have already calculated our grain harvest and grain rent this year clearly."
"If we continue to fool them now, we will end up losing more than we gain. If they get angry, they won't rent the land to us, and we, the Tian and Wang families, will be left with nothing!"
After the head of the farm finished speaking, the other two people in the granary immediately dared not to persuade him anymore.
He hurriedly assisted the head of the farm, and without going through the new owner's side, he informed every household in the village to return the grain that they had secretly left behind to the granary.
Wei Yunlan could not hide the movements in the village at all, but Wei Yunlan did not say much, giving Tian Zhuangtou enough time to "reform himself".
Nearing the evening, the head of the farm came over to Wei Yunlan with the account book with wet ink on it, and said, "Ms. Yue, this year's grain harvest has been counted. Here is the account book. The grain is now stored in the granary in the farm. Would you like to go with me to take a look?"
Wei Yunlan collected the account book but did not stand up. "Mingxuan, go with the village head to take a look."
After Wei Mingxuan followed the farm owner out with his guards and servants, a black shadow rushed back into the yard. It was Heiyun who had been out having fun for half a day.
It nudged Wei Yunlan's calf with its head, then wagged its tail and turned its head to look outside the yard.
Wei Yunlan knew it had never played before when he saw its behavior. He gently stroked the hair on its back and whispered, "Since you haven't played enough, can I allow you to go somewhere far away to play? Just help me do something."
Judging from the time, Tang Hai, Tang Chuan and his companions should be returning from Yandu Gorge soon. In two or three days at most, they will be able to pass through Lishui County where they had set up the "warehouse" earlier.
It would be a good time to let Heiyun pass by and put down the things that need to be transported back.
After whispering a few words, and seeing Heiyun wagging his tail and purring twice, Wei Yunlan patted its back and said, "Go."
A black figure rushed out of the yard.
Not far away, Liu Qingxue saw the passing black shadow and whispered to Jiang Wu with shining eyes, "Do you think the boss can really make Heiyun understand what she said?"
That's not just "shaman dance", it's real "divine". Even her grandmother can't do this!
Jiang Wu glanced at the gate of the courtyard, and looked at Liu Qingxue with a warning, "The boss's affairs are not something we can guess. If you have any small thoughts, I advise you to be honest. You should have seen in the past few days that although our boss is kind, he is not the kind of person who is soft-hearted."
Liu Qingxue curled her lips, "You think too highly of me, don't you? How could I have any thoughts on that?"
She knew that Jiang Wu was referring to the fact that she had urged the boss to accompany her back to retrieve the items, so she explained helplessly, "I really wanted to give those gold-cast items to the boss, as a token of my loyalty or for some other reason. Anyway, I knew I couldn't keep them, so it would be better to give them to the boss than to let those heartless people of my clan get them for free."
At this point, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You young ladies from official families always overthink everything, you are thoughtful, and you love to preach!"
"..." Jiang Wu was speechless when he met Liu Qingxue's calm gaze.
It is you who are a mean person and judge others by their own standards.
But a lady from an official family? She never thought of herself as a lady from an official family, nor did she like that identity. Compared to being confined in the backyard in the past, always on guard against the schemes of her stepmother and sisters, she had more hope for the days ahead.
She could vaguely feel that the boss was not a man without ambition.
But that ambition seemed to have nothing to do with simple interests. Only by following such a boss could she break away from the identity of a girl in the harem and show the ambitions suppressed in her heart!
Wei Yunlan didn't know that the impression he left on everyone was becoming more and more "profound".
At this moment, she was enjoying the rare silence.
Compared with the area near Dan Lake, Tianwangzhuang, located in the northern part of Huangzhou and not affected by the disaster, is like a paradise. Being in it makes people feel as if they have not yet arrived in the north.
At the same time, on a mountain road more than thirty miles away, Qi Xu had just led his men to escape from a bitter battle.
Just as he was covering the wound on his chest and was about to collapse from exhaustion.
A burst of excited dog barking sounded in my ears!
