Chapter 228 Buying a Home
This group of people beat a young man and said:
"How dare you guys mess with the Black Tiger Gang? You can't even take away any of these horses today, and all of you will die here."
One sentence is very clear, these people with steel knives are from the Black Tiger Gang. It turns out that what the young man said yesterday is not false at all. Although this shop is not opened by the Black Tiger Gang, it has nothing to do with it. shallow.
Li Kaiyang ordered everyone to mount their horses and retreat. He thought about it and let himself have a comfortable sleep last night, wouldn't it be enough? If they had taken action last night, they wouldn't even have time to rest. After all, it would have been another bloody storm.
Everyone mounted their horses one after another, including Xiaolan, whipping up their horses and preparing to rush out.
Li Kaiyang was at the front again, and this time he drew his lightsaber again. The enemy's swords and guns were like slicing melons and vegetables in front of him, and all the weapons were cut into pieces.
At this time, those people knew that they were not facing ordinary strong men.
"Ouch, you're a very powerful kid. No wonder you dare to eat the Overlord's meal? It turns out that your skills are really amazing."
The waiter said in a southern voice. Li Kaiyang was very angry when he heard what he said:
"How can you confuse right and wrong with your words? What kind of overlord's meal are we eating? Didn't we give you the money? You have taken away a large piece of our gold, and now you want our horses. Is there any room for reason in the world? Black Tiger Gang! Can the Black Tiger Gang do whatever they want?"
In fact, these people just want to get a few horses, and they have no intention of fighting them to the death. Seeing how powerful Li Kaiyang was, those people immediately felt a little timid.
They immediately began to retreat and close in. In fact, they had already made way for Li Kaiyang and the others. At this time, Li Kaiyang still wanted to duel with the gang.
But none of them had weapons in their hands, and they all stared blankly, not daring to step forward. Li Kaiyang pulled the horse's reins and laughed at them:
"Everyone is a rat. Come on, come on, fight me. Where has all your arrogance gone?"
These people were all stupid, and no one dared to take action against Li Kaiyang. So Li Kaiyang hit the horse's neck with a whip and said:
"Come on, brothers. Let's go home!"
Then in a flash, their twenty-odd horses fell away from this small village.
"Are there any pursuers behind?" Alan asked.
Li Kaiyang looked back and said with a smile:
"Do they still dare to come? They are all a bunch of losers!"
Xiaolan was worried and looked back in person, and sure enough, there was not even a single figure on the avenue. This time she took a deep breath and said to herself:
"Fortunately, we can relax and go home leisurely."
When she said this, Xiaolan put her hands into her arms. Li Kaiyang didn't know what she was going to do and turned his eyes away.
"Hey, hey, why don't you dare to look at it? What else can I do in broad daylight? What do you think this is?"
When Li Kaiyang saw Xiaolan holding two golden balls in her hand.
"Oh, do you still have gold? Great, when did you get so much gold?"
Xiaolan pursed her lips and said with a smile:
"While you were fighting with them, I quietly went down to the pit and picked up a few pieces of gold they dropped. I thought that since we were surrounded by them anyway, they were not afraid of us running away, let alone me taking the gold. Many people didn't notice it, and some of them didn't take me seriously, and all their attention was focused on your fighting process."
Li Kaiyang said happily:
"That's great. We'll have money to spend from now on. If you take these two pieces of gold back, oh! You'll be richer than that landlord, horseman, and other people."
Xiaolan patted her chest again with her hand and said mysteriously:
"Do you think you just took these two pieces? I still have more here? Since no one cares, I picked up all the gold on the ground. Oops, it's so tiring to carry it in my arms. I want it. No, Li Kaiyang, please help me get a few dollars."
Li Kaiyang quickly shook his head, thinking to himself:
"Xiaolan hasn't treated me as an outsider yet, but she actually wants me to hold such a valuable thing. To be honest, I like it too, but I shouldn't take it. Thinking about how I used gold as a stone when I was soybeans, This is enough to deserve some suffering. Now that he has gained something, I can't take it for myself."
So Li Kaiyang shook his head and did not go to pick up the gold. His intention is obviously to bring Xiaolan back to the village, which will become the capital of his family's life in the future.
Xiaolan did not regard him as an outsider, and was a little unhappy when he saw that he didn't want it. He immediately pouted his little mouth and said with a sad face:
"Are you dissatisfied with me? It's up to you. Anyway, I'm interested in you!"
"Ah oh!"
When Li Kaiyang heard this, he thought, oh, this is so explicit. I didn’t expect Alan to be so open-minded sometimes. Yes, in order to survive, people don’t care about their skin. If this is embarrassing, then it is also embarrassing. It is simply difficult for people to move forward in life.
This may be the first time Alan confesses his love to Li Kaiyang. How courageous a girl is to confess her love to a man.
The two men sat on the horse and had nothing to say to each other. Sometimes I suddenly turn my head and want to say something, but then my face turns red and I can't say anything anymore.
In the end, Li Kaiyang still felt that he was a man and should take the initiative to make it clear:
"Xiaolan, I appreciate your kindness, but you and I may not be a good match. I am a wanderer, and you have a family and business. Although Maverick is gone, you are still the most beautiful girl in the village. You want It’s not difficult at all to find a good husband. So my brother is here to bless you and bless you forever.”
Li Kaiyang's words made Alan blink his big eyes, not knowing what he meant. Smart people will soon understand that suddenly Xiaolan's appearance dimmed. Knowing that Li Kaiyang was rejecting her, she was so aggrieved that she almost stopped crying.
Li Kaiyang was also afraid that Xiaolan would lose her composure in public. So he quickly comforted her:
"You don't know me yet, wait until you understand me thoroughly! Sometimes if you want to know a person, you can't just listen to his words, but also look at his actions, his character, and his world view."
These words left Alan another chance to survive. Immediately, Alan had a smile on his face.
At this moment, a yellow light flashed in the woods beside the road.
Li Kaiyang saw that familiar figure again, and he almost shouted to the forest.
But he didn't shout after all, because he couldn't tell whether he was dazzled just now. I stared carefully into the woods for a long time, but there was no such yellow shadow at all. Of course, he thought it was impossible, because could he reach out so quickly?
In the blink of an eye, a pair of people crossed the hill and returned to the main road leading to the small fishing village.
Everyone was like flying, and after half a day, you returned to the small fishing village.
Alan and Li Kaiyang maintained their previous status, being close but not going too far. Each other is thinking about what the other is thinking, which is actually a very beautiful feeling. Sometimes a layer of window paper has not been pierced, and it has a hazy beauty and is more attractive.
Li Kaiyang and Xiaolan are in this state. Xiaolan feels that Li Kaiyang will eventually like her, and Li Kaiyang is also very grateful for Xiaolan's love for her. But other than that, they still have their own thoughts.
The villagers held a big banquet for the twenty heroes who came back. At the banquet, Xiaolan took out the pieces of gold.
She said the money was for the common use of the villagers. Everyone cheered, and an old goldsmith came over. He picked up the gold, looked at it, and said to Xiaolan:
"Hey, it's so big that you can't spend it with flowers! Why don't you leave it to me and I'll cut it into small pieces so that everyone can use the broken gold for your convenience."
Xiaolan naturally had no objection. He handed over a dozen pieces of gold to the goldsmith and let him make small gold nuggets with confidence.
Many people were drunk at the wine table. Li Kuan suddenly stood up and said:
"We avenged our master this time, but have you forgotten the brothers who died? Everyone should stand together to mourn for them. I hope their souls in heaven will be well."
Li Kuan's reminder made everyone become serious. Indeed, none of the families who had lost their children came out for dinner. It can be seen that their happiness is based on the safety of their family members. Xiaolan suggested:
"Give more of that gold to these families. It can be considered as compensation and comfort to them."
Everyone agreed that the old goldsmith was called Liang Dafa. He had different opinions and said to people:
"This is quite a lot of gold. It's not necessary to give them more gold. I think with this money, we can buy more wood and let's build a big ship."
Someone next to me asked:
"Do you mean to build a big boat for each family?"
Liang Dafa quickly shook his head and said:
"No, no, that's not what I meant! What I mean is that these big ships are jointly used by our village. However, we should arrange a suitable position for these families so that they will always be safe and healthy, and have no worries about food and clothing."
This view was echoed by everyone. People nodded to express their support for this opinion.
After the banquet, Liang Dafa began to take the lead in organizing people to go to various places to buy wood. He asked people to take the divided gold with them. Many craftsmen were invited from other places, and people made vigorous preparations to build ten large ships. After these boats are built, they can go fishing in the ocean.
A dozen pieces of gold are more than enough to build a dozen large ships, and even three or two pieces of gold are not enough.
Liang Dafa organized people to buy a lot of grain and hoard it. They also built roads with stones in the village and built houses for every family. The courtyard has also been renovated.
After using it this way, not half of the gold is used.
Liang Dafa plans to divide the remaining money among households. Li Kaiyang also got a piece of gold the size of his thumb.
He asked Liang Dafa:
"How much silver can I get for this piece of gold?"
Liang Dafa stretched out his right hand, with five fingers pointing at five hundred taels of silver. Li Kaiyang thought it was a bit exaggerated. Although it was a bit exaggerated, he also found it very useful. After all, he is also a rich man. In this society, money means status.
With this piece of gold, Li Kaiyang wanted to be creative. So he took the gold to a town more than ten miles away. Wanted to see what I could buy.
He came to this town on horseback. It was the largest village and town he had ever seen when he came here, with a dense population and many shops.
As soon as he entered the village, Yazi asked him:
"Brother, do you need help with anything? We can talk about all the transactions here. Don't worry about the price. I will cut it. I guarantee your satisfaction."
Li Kaiyang took a look at the appearance of the village. He thought it was pretty good. It was much more comfortable than Xiaolan's fishing village near the sea.
So Li Kaiyang felt a sense of nostalgia. He leaned on the saddle and asked Na Yazi:
"I want to buy a house, can I do it?"
After hearing this, Yazi thought about it, suddenly smiled and said:
"Young master, you really have a good eye. The houses here are not expensive. If you want it, I will arrange one for you. Three hundred taels of silver, I guarantee your satisfaction."
Li Kaiyang thought that three hundred taels would not be enough to spend my piece of gold. He touched the gold in his pocket and said to himself:
"You have to find a place to exchange this piece of gold for silver. It's convenient."
He asked Na Yazi:
"Is there any shop where gold and silver can be exchanged?"
Na Yazi said:
"We have two banks here. We can exchange gold for you at either one. Do you want me to take you there?"
So this Yazi led Li Kaiyang to a gold store called Hengyuanxiang. Li Kaiyang went in and took out the piece of gold. The shopkeeper weighed it on the counter and said that the gold was five taels, two cents and seven. According to the rules, it can be exchanged for five hundred taels of silver.
So Li Kaiyang nodded and agreed to the exchange. Soon, five hundred taels of silver were cashed in and given to Li Kaiyang.
他 说:
"That's not okay. How can I get so much money?"
The shopkeeper quickly said:
"If you want a banknote, you can, but you can't take away these five hundred taels."
"why?"
"Because we have to collect some taxes! Five hundred taels of silver will give you a banknote of [-] taels."
Li Kaiyang patted his thigh and said:
"I agree to the deal!"
Unexpectedly, he agreed so readily, and the shopkeeper was a little surprised.
With the banknote, Li Kaiyang was very proud. He said to Na Yazi:
"Just buy me a house! I'll pay you three hundred taels after the deal is completed."
Na Yazi left in a hurry. He came back after a while, bringing someone with him who looked like a butler. He also held the property deed in his hand.
As soon as they met, Na Yazi smiled and said:
"Oh, it's better to go early than to go by chance! It happened that a local member of the Communist Party of China had a house for sale. It has five main houses and seven side rooms, a proper courtyard, and a spacious patio outside. There is a horse-hitch stake outside the door. It’s very convenient to get to the main road.”
Li Kaiyang was very interested after hearing this, so he let this family member take the lead. Together they went to see the location of the house.
When he arrived at the place, Li Kaiyang opened the door and wanted to take a look inside. Sure enough, the house was not that old, and there were some simple furnishings in the house. Tables, chairs and benches are all available. What interests Li Kaiyang is that there is also a piece of cake hanging in their main room. There are four words written on it: blue sky and white sun.
Li Kaiyang was very curious and asked them why they wrote these four words.
The old man explained:
"Our master used to be an official. He had a motto in life, which is to do things with a clear conscience, dedicate himself to the people, and die. My master lived an upright life. He wrote the words "blue sky and white sun" to tell everyone that they should do things worthy of heaven. .”
