Chapter 130

Although the mud bricks and tiles have not yet been seen, the matter of buying land can indeed be done first, and there is no further delay. The two went to the village head together.

It's just a simple assembly of a few wooden boards. It's a very simple matter. When Wei Chenrui and Yuan Zhirui arrived at the village chief's house, Yuan Zhihu had already gone to Xia Mang with the mold he had made.

Hearing the purpose of the two, the village head thought for a while and said, "There is no need to rush to buy this land. The mud bricks and tiles have not been researched yet, and I don't know how long it will take to research them. If your husband's bones are long Well, if we haven’t researched it yet, wouldn’t this land be wasted?”

Yuan Zhengrui also thought it made sense after hearing this: "Yes, if you don't wait for the mud bricks to be researched, it won't be too late to buy land!"

Wei Chenrui smiled and said, "It's not necessary. The clay bricks and tiles are not complicated to make. It just takes some time to make them more stable. It won't take too long."

"Besides, I can still use my house to test the results, and there is no big loss. After all, we won't live for long."

"If we haven't researched it before our husband and wife leave, it's not a waste to buy this land. It's just a little bit of our heart and mind to provide a place for this clay brick and tile workshop."

Speaking of which, the village head also knew that the husband and wife did not lack this little money, so he did not continue to persuade: "Then I will thank the girl on behalf of the people in the village!"

Then, at the suggestion of the village head, Wei Chenrui spent 30 taels of silver to buy ten acres of land near the river in the village.

After negotiating, Wei Chenrui took out a 50 tael bank note from his purse and handed it to the village chief: "Grandpa village chief, I am a woman, and it is inconvenient for me to go out to do errands. I need to ask you to handle this land deed. The 50 tael You take the silver, do what you need, don’t be reluctant.”

The village chief was not too polite, it is a common practice to manage it, and it is really not worthwhile to be troubled by others in order to save the money: "Okay, I will take the money. People in our village buy land and sign a contract, and it is only three to five dollars at most." If there is too much silver, ordinary people like us can't afford it, and those petty officials know it well, and they won't open their mouths like a lion."

"Your 50 taels of silver is more than enough, and you can treat them to a good meal. I will expedite it for you. I will bring you the rest."

How can Wei Chenrui let the village chief bring it back again, and hurriedly said: "What are you bringing back, you just hold on to the money, don't feel bad, you pack a table of food for the rest of the money, and bring a few couples to us. The uncles and brothers who are quite caring are called over, have a good meal, and try something new!"

The prices of the dishes in the restaurants in the town are still not cheap for the villagers, and they are not willing to eat them at ordinary times. It is very face-saving to pack a table of food and wine to invite people back from there.

Wei Chenrui had this kind of heart. Although the village chief felt a little distressed, it was her wish, and she was not good at cooking, so she didn't refuse: "Okay, your husband also drinks, right? The rest of the money , I will just buy some rare vegetables that are not available in the village, buy more wine and put it away, so as not to waste it."

Wei Chenrui had no objection: "It's fine, just look at the arrangement, there must be enough oil and water, don't save me, if it's not enough, I'll make it up when I come back!"

The village chief's heart ached for four or five taels of silver for a meal. The cost of these two meals was 15 taels, which was already the limit acceptable to the village chief: "Enough is enough, how could it not be enough? Although you are rich, but now There is no income, and it is better to save a little while sitting and eating."

"Okay, give me the money, and I will arrange it, so you don't have to worry about it."

Wei Chenrui didn't want to worry about it at all, so he smiled and said, "Then let the village chief worry about it!"

"Village Chief, is Miss Yang with you?" At this moment, there was a shout from outside the door.

"Here, what's the matter?" The village head responded.

The man outside the door looked around, but found no suspicious person, then walked into the village chief's house, saw Wei Chenrui in the yard, and whispered, "Village chief, there is a vicious person at the entrance of the village asking about Miss Yang's family. Worried that the enemy family has come here, I came to report and asked the young lady to hide on the mountain or in the cellar."

It has been several days since Wei Chenrui went to Huimin's study in the town to leave a letter. If Xueji and Hu Yinghao were still alive, they should have found them.

So he asked: "Brother Hammerhead, tell me what that person looks like, maybe the guards of our husband and wife came here. I left a letter in the town some time ago."

Thinking about that person's appearance, Yuan Chui said: "That person doesn't look like a good person, he has a full beard, his eyes are very fierce, and he still holds a Dao in his hand, although he speaks politely, But it looks like it's faked to me."

Hearing Yuan Chui's description, Wei Chenrui thought it might be Hu Yinghao, but when they separated, Hu Yinghao didn't have any cubs, and it's only been a few days, so he definitely won't grow a full beard, and he's a little uncertain.

But what is certain is that it will definitely not be the assassin who was found. The assassins are all dead soldiers, and dead soldiers have no feelings, and their eyes are empty.

Therefore, Wei Chenrui decided to go over and take a look: "My guards have all seen blood, and there are a few that look fierce. This one is one of them. I'd better go and have a look!"

Yuan Chui did not agree: "How can it be done, if it is the enemy who is chasing after you, you will fall into the trap of yourself!"

The village chief also disagreed with Wei Chenrui going to take risks: "Hammer is right, you were too adventurous in the past, it's better for me to go."

"Your guards all have names, right? As the village chief, it's normal to ask him where he came from, and no one will doubt it."

What the village chief said made sense, so Wei Chenrui didn't force him, and named Hu Yinghao and Xue Ji.

Although the village head is not young, his memory is still as good as when he was young. Wei Chenrui only said it once, and the village head remembered it all: "Okay, I remember all the people you mentioned, and they will let the village Pay attention."

"Just listen to Hammer first, and take your husband to hide for a while. After I confirm the identity of the person who came, I will send Hammer to find you."

There was nothing wrong with this arrangement. Although Wei Chenrui felt that there would be no problem, it was not easy for the village chief to worry, so he nodded in agreement.

In this way, several people divided into two groups and started to act.

Holding his armor, Wei Chenrui, led by Hammer, hid in a cellar next to a collapsed house, while the village head walked to the entrance of the village with Yuan Zhengrui.

From a distance, one could see a bearded man in a coarse cloth shirt, holding a big knife, surrounded by a group of older ladies.

"What are you all doing here? Why don't you go back to cook!" The village chief yelled loudly, fearing that the man would violently hurt others, so he asked these big girls to get away.
