Shen Yuan asked, "Is there a more secluded courtyard?"
The broker walked out of the counter and asked, "It's a secluded yard. How big a house do you want, young lady?"
Shen Yu'an thought for a moment and said, "Two or three rooms will be enough, and the yard doesn't need to be too big, but it would be better if there were fewer residents around."
The agent listened to Shen Yu'an's request and pointed to the two courtyards on the drawing paper and said, "These two should meet the girl's requirements."
"This first yard is closer to the shop the girl bought yesterday. It's on the same street as the third yard behind the shop."
"The second yard is more secluded. There are fewer residents on that street, and that yard is also at the end of the alley."
"I will have someone take you to see whichever place you like. If you want to see both places, I can accompany you."
Shen Yu'an carefully looked at the two courtyards pointed out by the broker, and asked him to take him to see them.
The yard they went to first was the one closest to the house that Shen Yu'an bought yesterday.
That street is full of large houses with two or three courtyards, but there was not enough space, so they finally built this small courtyard.
There are many residents on this street, most of whom have some status. Shen Yu'an rejected this place in his mind before he even went to the yard to take a look.
This yard is used to transport food back and forth, so having too many people here is actually a disadvantage.
So after taking a look, Shen Yu'an asked the broker to take her to another courtyard three streets away from here.
The yard was just as the broker had described, and it was very quiet.
The houses here are basically located on a corner, so what happens in front of your house will not be seen by your neighbors.
Moreover, the alleys here are not narrow, and even if there are horse-drawn carriages passing through, two carriages can run side by side at the same time.
Shen Yu'an was very satisfied, so he went back to the yahang and bought the small courtyard.
After the land deed was transferred, Shen Yu'an asked Shen Si to take her to buy some meat and vegetables and then headed towards the village.
The road from the town to the village passes through a dense forest.
As soon as the ox cart drove into the small forest, Shen Yu'an heard shouting coming from the forest.
It was a gentle and graceful female voice, "Help! Is there anyone here?"
Along with this voice, there was another voice, still a girl's voice.
Shen Yu'an lifted the car curtain and asked Shen Si to slow down. After a while, the sound became clearer, accompanied by many unbearable men's voices.
Shen Si hesitated and said, "Master, why don't we just go. From the sound, there should be a lot of people on the other side. I'm afraid I can't defeat them alone."
The intermittent sounds made Shen Yu'an and Shen Si almost understand what happened.
It turned out that the two girls were stopped by a group of local thugs when they were passing by here. It would have been fine if they had just robbed them of their money, but they even went so far as to not only rob the two girls, but also spared them.
In Shen Si's opinion, his master looked like a fairy. If he was seen by those people who robbed her of her money and her body, she would be unable to walk.
So part of the reason why Shen Si directly said that he couldn't win was for Shen Yu'an's safety.
It was obvious that the people on the other side were outnumbered and powerful. Although he was quite capable, he did not dare to show off in front of so many people.
But it was too late to leave, because the two running and shouting women had already run onto the path, followed by a few rather wretched-looking men with fangs and claws bared.
The two women were delighted to see someone and ran towards the ox cart.
And one of the two women was Fang Nian.
She saw a bullock cart in the middle of the road, and a man was driving it. She wanted to get on the cart with her friend and ask the man to drive the cart quickly to get rid of the people behind.
"Sir, please give us a ride. We will reward you handsomely once we get rid of the people behind us."
Shen Si naturally had to listen to Shen Yu'an, so he turned around and asked for her opinion.
Shen Yuan said: "Let them come up."
As soon as Shen Yu'an started talking, Fang Nian and the other woman noticed her and were slightly surprised by her outstanding appearance.
The two men ran to the ox cart and quickly climbed up, looking at the men who were about to catch up from behind.
The woman who came with Fang Nian made up her mind and deliberately bumped into Shen Yu'an, trying to knock Shen Yu'an off the ox cart to buy time for them to escape.
