Chapter 149 Rescuing a Dangerous Person
"I want to build a house like the multi-courtyard houses in the city," Lin Luoxi said without hesitation.
"What? You want to build a house like the city people do? That would cost hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver!"
The villagers who came to work all thought Lin Luoxi was crazy. She was clearly a country person, but she wanted to do all those fancy things like city people. The main question was, did Lin Luoxi really have that much money?
“I said before that wages would be paid daily, and that has always been true.”
"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can back out now and say you don't want to do it." Lin Luoxi didn't force anyone who signed up to work; instead, she looked calmly at the villagers in front of her.
At the same time, she also considered the situation. These people were just ordinary villagers. It would probably be difficult for them to see a clean and tidy house.
Let them clear the land and build the wall; as for building the house, we'll have to find professionals.
The other villagers hesitated upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, glancing at each other.
When everyone saw that no one was leaving, they all knew what to do. The villagers present all had their farming tools with them, and no one left.
"Your task today is to clear the weeds and cultivate these dozens of acres of wasteland."
"The person in charge is Aunt Yang, and my parents. If you have any questions, ask Aunt Yang."
"Let's get started!" Since it's morning, if we work, we can earn a full day's wages of twenty coins, which can improve the villagers' meals.
Lin Luoxi thought that she had swindled several thousand taels of silver from Song Huai'an last night, which should be enough to build a house weighing a few kilograms.
Having money in hand gave her confidence in everything she did. She entrusted the task to Aunt Yang, while her parents supervised the others. She then took Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan to the county town.
The three had barely left the village and turned onto the country road behind the mountain when they were suddenly blocked by someone.
“Miss Lin, my master has instructed me to accompany you into the city.”
"Our master said that Miss Lin wants to see a house like those in the city, and since he happens to know someone there, he asked me to take you there..."
Zhao Fengyang's face was still a little pale, but his eyes were bright and his arm muscles were strong, showing that his wounds had healed well and his mental state had improved a lot.
Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan both looked at the young man in black who had suddenly appeared with wary expressions.
Seeing the other person greet Lin Luoxi so familiarly, they all turned to look at Lin Luoxi with puzzled expressions.
If it weren't for Zhao Fengyang's presence, they would definitely have asked Lin Luoxi when she met him.
“Your master is being ridiculous. You almost went to see the King of Hell last night, and now he dares to let you wander around. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll have a hemorrhage and die on the way? You can’t blame us for that.”
Lin Luoxi frowned, her face grim, as she looked at Zhao Fengyang who had suddenly appeared before her. She spoke with a stern expression.
Completely oblivious to the expressions on Xie Hanchuan and Lin Wenqian's faces, his gaze remained fixed on the wound beneath Zhao Fengyang's clothes.
Seeing that there was no blood, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing that Zhao Fengyang was Meng Huai'an's subordinate and had no choice but to obey Meng Huai'an's orders, he could only soften his tone and say, "Tell us where the construction workers are located, and we can find them ourselves."
"I don't want to go up the mountain in the middle of the night to rescue people, and I don't want all my hard work to be wasted."
"If you still want me to use the method I got yesterday to save you, then go ahead and do whatever you want."
"And what about your current enemies? If they find out you've appeared near our village, won't our village be doomed?"
"You should go back quickly and help your master recover from your injuries first."
After Lin Luoxi finished speaking, she took out a pack of silver needles from her waist, pulled out the longest silver needle, and waved it in front of Zhao Fengyang.
As Zhao Fengyang listened to Lin Luoxi's words, his mind was filled with the image of him being completely naked last night, with only a pair of shorts covering his private parts, being treated so openly by Lin Luoxi, and a blush rose on his face.
It felt as if Lin Luoxi was gently touching his entire skin, and his skin instantly turned as red as a boiled shrimp.
Seeing the unusual blush on Zhao Fengyang's face, Xie Hanchuan had a bad feeling and looked at Zhao Fengyang more warily, immediately considering him a rival in love.
"Sister Luo Xi, let's go. I believe we can definitely find masters with superb craftsmanship." Xie Hanchuan no longer wanted Lin Luo Xi to have any contact with Zhao Fengyang.
As soon as Xie Hanchuan spoke, Zhao Fengyang finally spared a glance at him, looked him up and down, and then looked away, lowering his head to ponder Lin Luoxi's words.
Thinking that Lin Luoxi had taken great risks to save them, Zhao Fengyang looked up and took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Lin Luoxi.
"Miss Lin, take this jade pendant to the No. 1 Restaurant in the World and find the manager there. You know him."
"As long as you take out the jade pendant and tell me your purpose, Manager Xu will take you to the place I mentioned." Zhao Fengyang stuffed the jade pendant into Lin Luoxi's arms.
Before Lin Luoxi could react, she quickly walked into the forest and soon disappeared into the woods.
A warm touch came from her palm. Ruoxi looked down and saw that it was a jade pendant with exquisite carving.
Looking at the exquisite jade pendant in her hand, Lin Luoxi's expression became even more solemn.
The quality and craftsmanship of this jade pendant are enough to prove that Meng Huai'an's identity is not simple, even...
At that moment, Lin Luoxi felt like she had rescued a dangerous person. Now, she didn't know whether rescuing this person was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Second sister, do you know that person?" Lin Wenqian asked Lin Luoxi as he approached her after the person left.
"Well, you could say we know each other. Actually, you know each other too." Having snapped out of her reverie about rescuing Meng Huai'an, she saw the wariness and disapproval in Lin Wenqian's eyes and explained with a smile.
"We know each other too?" Lin Wenqian's wariness lessened considerably upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, and he became even more curious about who this person was that they all knew.
"Have you forgotten? Young Master Meng Huai'an, a friend of Manager Xu's young master, that man is Young Master Meng Huai'an's attendant."
Seeing the curious expressions on Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan's faces, Lin Luoxi stopped keeping them in suspense and explained.
"They..." Lin Wenqian's gaze returned to the forest where Zhao Fengyang had disappeared, wanting to continue asking questions.
"Brother, sometimes, knowing too much isn't a good thing."
Have you ever heard the saying, "Curiosity killed the cat"?
