86. Wei Lan's Cultivation
The sun was high in the sky, and the hardworking villagers, market merchants, and some hunters had already been working for a day and a half. At this time, Wei Qinghui and two others drove towards the market.
Sister Hong said, "Miss, the road here isn't very well maintained and is a bit bumpy. Once you get past this section and reach the market within twenty li, it will be fine! The roads over there have been repaired."
There are also some pavilions along the roadside, specifically for passersby to take shelter from the rain and rest, free of charge. This road has been much safer lately; there are even market inspectors patrolling over there. Ordinary thugs and bullies don't dare come here anymore.
Wes added, "Yes, that Lord He is quite shrewd. He's ruthless with one hand and raises prices with the other, and all the merchants in the area have flocked here. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's making a fortune every day. But it's also because Lord He is so powerful. He's even managed to kill off some of the local bandits who don't dare to bother him!"
I heard yesterday that Miss intends to come over. She also hopes to find some jobs for the villagers at the market. This would be a good thing for the village. However, she firmly stated her position.
"Miss, we won't insist on you taking this market position. Please don't force yourself; otherwise, it's better if you don't come to the market at all."
Wei Qinghui was still dressed in a clean white cloth robe and cloth shoes. Her skin was fair and smooth, and her long hair was simply tied with a white ribbon. Her weapon was casually slung over her back.
He exudes an aura of refinement and elegance! Yes, he possesses a scholarly, cultured, and noble air!
"Uncle Si, you're exaggerating. From everyone's assessment, Lord He isn't a petty person. Our situation is a bit awkward; after all, we're descendants of generals from the previous dynasty. Although we're all quite capable, other places might not be willing to accept us!"
Even if we were willing, it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing for us! On the other hand, Lord He, who was also born and raised on the border, sometimes has a less important background, but he can't escape the fact that he grew up on the border.
Moreover, the demon race has been gone for nearly twenty years now. We should make some plans!
"What you say is true, Miss, but you don't need to suffer. The men of Weijia Village are all hardworking and can survive anywhere," Sister Hong said gently.
"You're both right. Miss Wei is naturally more thoughtful, and judging from her demeanor, happiness is written all over her face. She doesn't seem like a difficult person to get along with."
Then the group remained silent, continuing their journey without speaking. Rounding a bend in the road, they saw oxcarts and donkey carts passing by a nearby village. Several horse-drawn carts also appeared, each carrying a flag bearing the character "He," fluttering in the wind.
The villagers, carrying large and small bags, and the children, mostly dressed in coarse linen, some even patched, sat on horse-drawn carts, their faces filled with excitement and longing for the outside world.
Some elderly people were also riding in oxcarts. The whole procession wasn't moving very fast!
Ahead, several people dressed in blue uniforms from the local security bureau were helping out with the group. These men were all strong and powerful, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that the leader was only at the first level! The others were simply strong.
But once this flag was raised, the surrounding bandits and thieves didn't care about coming to rob it!
"Miss, this is a village not far from us, with a small population. I didn't expect that the whole village would move away like this," Sister Hong explained.
After careful observation, Wei Qinghui said, "The subordinates in this market are all friendly and approachable, without any arrogance. Their expressions are full of energy, and their eyes gleam with confidence and motivation! Apart from their relatively low cultivation levels, they are all quite good!"
However, this is also an opportunity for our Weijia Village. Uncle Si, if anyone from Weijia Village joins the duty roster from now on, I hope it will be the case!
"Yes, miss."
The carriage slowly passed by the procession. "Sister Hong, are you going to the market too?" a loud voice called out!
One of the men was tall and dark-skinned, and probably worked in the fields for a long time. He was wearing a new coarse cloth outfit and newly made straw sandals.
Upon seeing Sister Hong, I greeted her loudly! "Yes, I was just about to go to the market. Has everyone in your village moved there yet?"
"Yes, our village has decided to move there. Recently, there have been more attacks on the village by wild animals. Besides, children can learn to read for free at the market, and they get lunch and dinner provided—it's much better than us toiling in the fields for food!"
Then, happily, she added, "Our whole village has moved there, and the market even arranged for horse-drawn carriages to pick us up. I think we should be able to manage from now on."
His tone was filled with a hint of worry and uncertainty about the future, but also with a great deal of anticipation.
Around noon, my nose started to itch, and I woke up to the sound of laughter. She wore a light pink gauze dress, and her long hair cascaded over her white gauze vest.
Her long hair was gently tied up with a silver ribbon.
A pink pipa-shaped blouse, a long skirt almost trailing on the ground! Tall and graceful, with a slender figure! For a moment, spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums vied for beauty!
"Brother, get up and eat!" Yun Suli called out from afar.
"My lord, where did you go last night? You look very tired!" Bi Yunyan teased.
Immediately, Tu Fanghua and Wei Lan exchanged knowing smiles. Jie Huayu was not there; she must have gone to the trading company!
"You've already eaten, haven't you?"
"Yes, sir, everyone except you has eaten!" Bi Yunyan said with a smile. Her lips curved into a sweet smile, making her very beautiful! Then, she deliberately turned on her toes, revealing her backless, mid-length sleeved dress, which was only half a foot above her knee!
I don't feel hungry yet! But I can eat.
At noon, the aroma was irresistible! During lunch break, mice scurried about like they were eating. A warm breeze, like springtime, tossed my hair, making it fly from side to side! An hour later, the wind died down!
A moment later, everyone went outside together!
She had already changed her clothes. A long blue dress with gold embroidery, long-sleeved silk, and a light green bodysuit! All of these covered her completely!
The steward had already prepared the meat. 'Sir, this is a turtle we caught this morning; it looks to be over twenty years old.'
Looking at the turtle, as big as a washbasin. Not bad, with teeth as hard as titanium! Feeling refreshed and happy, this is truly a delightful meal.
After carefully storing away the daily spiritual materials, Yun Su and Bi Yunyan emerged, having changed their clothes. They wore light blue tops and black ankle-length trousers, their figures exquisitely beautiful.
Sister Lan explained, "Sir, please accompany Sister Yunsu and Sister Yunyan to look around."
"Yes, sir, Lan-jie and I are not worthy of you!" Tu Fanghua said with a mysterious smile.
Okay, then I'll go with them to take a look. Don't wait for us if it gets late tonight.
After the three of them left, Tu Fanghua watched them walk away.
The mysterious voice said, "Sister Lan, you haven't cultivated yet, have you?"
Sister Lan nodded frankly and said, "I learned a few characters from my father before, but I haven't cultivated these skills."
"Sister Lan, this is a gift from Sister Yunsu, a Qi-cultivating formula. It's balanced and gentle, with no harmful effects, and has the benefits of prolonging life, nourishing the body, and beautifying the complexion. Sister Lan, give it a try!" She then took out a small booklet.
However, something's not right with the scene above; there are both men and women. The man is handsome, and the woman is alluring!
