Chapter 227 All these skills of yours were taught by your master
Oh my god!
This woman is so lucky!
And he seems to be living well.
When Gu Xiaoxi saw Mrs. Mo, she thought of her poor second brother and wished she could crush this thing to death right now.
"Girl, don't be impulsive. The people here don't know the details, and there are so many of us still in the carriage." Ying Si kindly reminded.
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi could only suppress the anger in his heart and drove the carriage out of the city.
There were many people entering and leaving the city, and they waited for almost half an hour before they finally left the city.
Mo's carriage was on the road next to them and left the city before them. By the time their carriage left the city, the other person's carriage had long disappeared.
That’s all!
Gu Xiaoxi had no choice but to give up and continue on her journey with Ying Si in the carriage.
Not long after leaving the city, a three-way intersection appeared, and Ying Si chose the road leading to Lecheng.
There were obviously fewer people here, and the carriage started moving after a short distance.
However, it was raining, so even if we ran, we wouldn't be much faster.
In the afternoon, they came to a small town. There were not many people in the town, and some merchants could be seen stopping by the roadside to drink water.
"Ying Si, isn't Lecheng lively enough?" Gu Xiaoxi asked casually.
"Of course it can't compare with Jiangcheng, but it's on par with Bugu County, and even bigger than Bugu County." Ying Si gave the girl a general idea.
Gu Xiaoxi nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "That's good. A city that is too busy will have a lot of trouble.
After something like this happened, I wonder where Ma Weiwei and the others will go?"
Ma Weiwei's biological father is the county magistrate, and he is also an honest official. He probably won't retreat until the critical moment. She can't help but worry about Ma Weiwei.
Ying Si heard this and said, "When we came here that day, our companions told me that Magistrate Ma was sent away three days ago, but they didn't say where he went."
"As long as they are not in Bugu County, the danger will be less. I hope God blesses them to survive." Gu Xiaoxi prayed in his heart.
The carriage continued to move forward. Everything went smoothly for the first two days. But on the third night, when they were spending the night in a wood by the roadside, they encountered bandits coming down from the mountain.
There were more than 30 bandits, and although they won the battle in the end, most of them were injured.
They didn't dare stay in such a place for too long, and continued on their journey in the carriage before dawn.
After this night of tossing and turning, Gu Xiaoxi decided to rest during the day and travel at night.
First, it is a little less severe during the day, and second, it is a little safer during the day.
Because of the continuous snow, the three-day journey was impossible to complete.
They were on the road for five days, and on the evening of the fifth day, they entered the city before the gates were closed.
This place is a bit far from Jiangcheng, and Yingsan and his friends don’t have a place to stay here, so they can only find an inn they have been to before and settle everyone down.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the inn, so we could barely stay there.
After a night's rest, the next day, Gu Xiaoxi took Yingsan and Qiuxiang to the real estate agent to ask how to sell the house here.
Gu Xiaoxi thought that she had a total of 7,000 taels of silver on hand, and she wanted to look at a house in the city, which would make it more convenient for her to do business later.
As a result, they ran around for a whole day, asked all the dental clinics in the city, and visited no less than ten yards, big and small, but none of them satisfied Gu Xiaoxi.
"No, I'd better ask some farms outside the city tomorrow. If I use all my money to buy a house, there won't be much left." Gu Xiaoxi felt that the housing prices here were a bit too high.
If it was just their family, she could just buy any one.
But now there are so many of them that one house can’t accommodate them all. She can’t just ignore them at this time.
So, the next day they continued looking for a house.
Finally, we found a farm outside the south of the city. The price was finally lowered to two thousand taels, and there was a mountain behind it. This was the lowest price.
But, that is a deserted village, completely uninhabitable, and one of the walls of the village has collapsed. To put it bluntly, you bought a piece of land for two thousand taels, and you can build whatever you want!
Gu Xiaoxi had only one request, which was to ask the broker to bring someone in to see if anyone had settled there, so as to avoid causing them unnecessary trouble.
The people from the pawnbroker business did as they were told. Not only did they check the village thoroughly, they also took their men to the mountain behind for two days.
On the morning of the third day, Gu Xiaoxi paid the silver and got the land deed.
After the handover procedures were completed, Gu Xiaoxi brought everyone to this dilapidated village.
The houses in the village were uninhabitable, so they could only find a place behind a high wall, connect them with coarse cloth, and build some tents so that everyone would have a place to stay.
A large pot of white porridge was cooked at noon. After lunch, Gu Xiaoxi led everyone to get busy.
After running around for a few days, everyone needs to slow down, but they need to repair the collapsed walls to prevent anyone from coming in in the middle of the night.
Gu He led his men to build the wall, while Gu Xiaoxi locked the yard door.
No one slept well on the first night. It was very cold and windy at the foot of the mountain. The tent was small and it was difficult to make a fire inside, so everyone huddled together at night.
Gu Xiaoxi originally thought that she could slowly get through the winter, but in the end she couldn't even survive a single night.
The next morning, she took Dashun and Yingsan up the mountain.
Fortunately, they found mud for making bricks in the mountains, and she decided to build a house while Yingsan and his brothers were still there.
When she bought the farm, she asked the broker for a map of the area.
While everyone was busy laying bricks, she did some planning.
Every family has a yard, and as long as there are separate families, they will have one, so that everyone will not feel uncomfortable living in the future.
All the houses are built on both sides of the wall, leaving the space in the middle to be used for later.
The farm has twenty acres of land, which is more than 13,000 square meters. It is not only enough for them to live in, but also for them to grow some things in the farm.
This doesn't include the mountain behind, so it's still possible to find a way to survive.
First plan out the living area. The living area and the fields cannot be together, otherwise the children will have no place to play.
Laying bricks takes time. Gu Xiaoxi spent four days drawing out the structure of the yard. Everyone's yard was made the same, and then they just had to put a code on the door.
After finishing the drawing, she showed the drawing to each family.
Some people couldn't understand the drawings, so she explained them to everyone in detail.
Many people have never seen such a house. Even the toilets are much more convenient.
"Xiaoxi, were all these skills taught to you by your master?" Gu An was extremely surprised when he saw these drawings.
He had seen many house drawings before, but this was the first time he had seen one like this. It looked plain, but revealed an extraordinary surprise.
"Yes, my master is omnipotent and knows a little bit about everything." Gu Xiaoxi could only put the blame on the so-called master.
Boom boom boom!
The gate of the yard was suddenly knocked, interrupting Gu Xiaoxi and the others' conversation, and everyone looked towards the gate.
