Chapter 205 Settled foot
When Lu Cheng returned to the small village, Niu Dali and the others had already packed everything. They didn't have much stuff at first, and the food they sent to Peng Mingge last time was almost done. As hunters, they could survive wherever they were, as long as they had prey.
Moreover, when they have money this time, they have much more choices, and they can live easily even in ordinary cities. Each household has more than 200 taels of silver, which is enough for them to buy a house and find a comfortable place for themselves.
"Brother Lu Cheng, we are going to go south. Don't worry, the aristocratic families in Dinghe City will never find us again." Niu Dali said that they are just ordinary people. As long as they leave the scope of Dinghe City, those aristocratic families will naturally not cause trouble for them.
If you can't afford to offend, can't you still hide? Besides, they are not that important. Once the Zhou family and the Wu family know that they are leaving, they will no longer take this matter to heart. Niu Dali believes that although Wu Ruyan has been to the village, she may not be able to remember their appearance.
"Okay, Brother Niu, you can give everyone some money in the village. If you don't want to be a hunter, you can do some other business. If it is not enough, I still have it here." Lu Cheng said. He now has the 100,000 taels of silver notes given by Chu Wen, ranging from 100,000 taels to 10,000 taels, a pile of them.
∑ “Brother Lu Cheng, we shouldn’t have taken this money at first, but now we need to move, and we really need to use it, so we have to give up our face. If you want to give it money, we will never ask for it no matter what. We have both hands and will not starve to death anywhere.” Niu Dali said embarrassedly.
If it weren't for Lu Cheng, he wouldn't know how many times he had died. Other hunters actually thought the same way, but they were stupid and not good at expressing themselves. But in their hearts, they had long regarded Lu Cheng as their life-saving benefactor.
"I used this money for you, but I don't know if there will be any chance to meet in the future." Lu Cheng sighed. For Niu Dali and the others can live a peaceful life. Perhaps it is a good thing not to meet again.
"There will definitely be something." Niu Dali said solemnly. If there is a chance, they will definitely repay Lu Cheng's kindness. Although Lu Cheng has a high level of cultivation, they can do something within their ability.
After dawn, Lu Cheng personally sent Niu Dali and the others to leave. In such a world, Niu Dali and the others had so many people. He also carried a lot of silver on his body. Lu Cheng was really worried if he didn't send it to them. He walked south for two days and arrived at a place called Xu Jiaji.
Although this place is not as prosperous as Dinghe City, it is located on the official road connected to the Tianhua Kingdom and the Honglan Empire. It was originally just a small village and gradually developed into a large market. In fact, it is a city without a city wall. If you go further south, you can reach Tianhua Kingdom in just one or two days.
Niu Dali and his team went around the market and found that there were also many hunters selling wild animals, and their business was pretty good. Caravans traveling from south to north would rest here, and they might also purchase goods from Xujiaji. The Honglan Empire has more mountains and few fields, and the grain output is not enough, so they need to be transported from Tianhua.
However, the animal fur, animal bones, etc. of the Honglan Empire can be sold to Tianhua Kingdom, and can be sold at a good price. Many of Xujiaji's stores actually provide services and goods to caravans from both countries.
"Brother Lu Cheng, we have considered it and planned to open a shop in Xujiaji. Everyone stays here. You can usually go hunting or buy other people's furs or something." Niu Dali decided to stay at Xujiaji. They drag their children and daughters. If they live near the Cangji Forest, it is indeed suitable for hunting, but if they are too far away from the crowd, they will feel like they are in a different world.
"It's good. You go find a place immediately and have the capital to do business. Brother Niu, I hope you don't refuse." Lu Cheng took out a silver note of 10,000 taels of silver and said.
"Brother Lu Cheng, there are too many." Niu Dali was so scared that he shook his hand when he saw the numbers on the silver bill. The silver bill almost fell to the ground. Ten thousand taels, he never thought that he could hold ten thousand taels of silver in one hand.
"Just think I'm investing in the stock." Lu Cheng said that if Niu Dali wants to do a good business, it won't work without capital. That's more than 2,000 taels of silver, it's impossible for Niu Dali and his friends to settle in the Xu family group.
"Okay, you are the boss, we are all buddies." Niu Dali said with a smile. Originally, he just wanted to rent a shop and let everyone squeeze in, but with Lu Cheng's ten thousand taels of silver, he could do something. He secretly made up his mind to help Lu Cheng with his work in this life.
"I am the boss, you are the shopkeeper, you must run the fur shop well." Lu Cheng said with a smile when he saw Niu Dali accepting the silver notes.
Lu Cheng stayed in Xujiaji for a few days. Niu Dali and his group wanted to stay here. He had to understand the situation of Xujiaji. He had a 128-meter-long sensitivity, and it was much more convenient to find out the news than Niu Dali and the others. He only needed to stay in the most lively place, and all kinds of news naturally came one after another.
Niu Dali was also very quick to buy a yard in Xujiaji that day. Not to mention that nine families live in, even if nine families come again, there is no problem. The yard has two meters high walls, and the pavilions and towers inside, and it is obvious that it is the wealthy family. When they walked in, it was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, and her eyes were not enough.
The most important thing is that the price is very cheap, only costing 1,800 taels of silver. This yard was originally called Chen Mansion. After Niu Dali bought it, he insisted on changing it to Lu Mansion. This money was paid by Lu Cheng, and the money from the store was also by Lu Cheng. They were just Lu Cheng's friends.
"Owner, this yard costs only 1,800 taels, which is so cheap." Niu Dali invited Lu Cheng to the yard and said happily. He never thought in his life that he could live in such a good place, it was like a dream.
"One,800 taels? Such a large yard is in such a place, but it is too cheap, right?" Lu Cheng said in surprise. Such a yard, even if it is in Songjiazhuang, would cost at least 18,000 taels of silver.
"Yes, this place was originally Chen's Mansion, and now I have changed it to Lu's Mansion. This yard is only a little smaller than the Xu family, the largest Xu family, and can be said to be the second largest yard in Xu's family." Niu Dali said happily that such a large yard is only 1,800 taels, and it is like a free pickup.
"Chen's Mansion? The house deed and land deeds have been handed over?" Lu Cheng's news was much more versatile than Niu Dali. Although he didn't talk to anyone much, the Xu Jiaji's affairs could not be hidden from him.
Xu Family Ji was just bandits a while ago, but the Xu Family was not captured, but the Chen Family was slaughtered. I heard that only one child was left. Naturally, the Chen Family members did not dare to live here again. As long as someone paid, they would definitely deal with it at a low price. However, none of the Xu Family members dared to buy it, even if it was the Xu Family, they would avoid it.
"After paying the money, it will be handed over immediately." Niu Dali said. They were about to move in, so they naturally had to complete all the procedures.
"Brother Niu, have you smelled a strong smell of blood here?" Lu Cheng asked. He basically would not live here, but he was very worried that if those bandits came again, Niu Dali and the others would suffer.
"I have heard of this, but such a good yard is worth it. We are not afraid. Besides, we are all poor families, just have a place to live, no matter whether anyone has died." Niu Dali said that such a cheap yard was almost like a free time. He had asked the people next to him before, and only then did he know that there were bandits here some time ago. But if it weren't for this, could it be possible to buy such a good yard of 1,800 taels?
"Okay, but I'm worried that if Xu Jiaji is once, there will be a second time. Are you considering whether you go south a little further, and maybe it will be better if you go to a city?" Lu Cheng said.
"Brother Lu Cheng, this kind of world is not safe anywhere. The walls of Dinghe City are high enough, right? But once a war starts, there will be thousands of people who die," said Niu Dali.
"Okay, Brother Niu, I have nine great Yuan Dan here, which is very helpful to your cultivation. You will accept it tonight and I will give you the Dharma protector." Lu Cheng said. He just wanted to better protect Niu Dali and the others. As for the preciousness of the great Yuan Dan, he would not consider it at all.
"Dayuan Dan? Brother Lu Cheng, this is impossible." Niu Dali naturally understood the meaning of the Dayuan Dan. He is now in the late stage of the third level of internal strength. If he takes the Dayuan Dan, he may be able to reach the peak.
"There is nothing that cannot be done. The shops you live in now are also my investments in. Naturally, they have to be responsible for your safety." Lu Cheng said that he did not know much about these bandits, but as long as there was a little clue, he would find a way to solve these people.
Niu Dali immediately called the other eight people over and everyone was excited to learn that Lu Cheng gave each of them a big Yuan pill. They were all ordinary warriors and it was difficult to improve their cultivation. However, the big Yuan pill can improve their meridians and even change their physique. Ordinary children of aristocratic families will take a big Yuan pill when they are just practicing. However, the effect of the big Yuan pill is most effective at the first pill, and even if they are taken again, the effect will be minimal.
The nine people were practicing in the same room. In addition to protecting the Dharma, Lu Cheng also sorted out several martial arts secrets. Niu Dali and the others had never learned martial arts, and internal energy was slowly cultivated because of the common mental methods of the Shenwu Continent. Internal energy mental methods, even if they reach the tenth level of internal energy, are public in the Shenwu Continent, but martial arts are not the case. Each family has their own expertise.
A set of sword techniques, a set of sword techniques, and a set of step techniques. The sword technique was obtained by him at the Li family in Datong County. The sword technique was the plum blossom sword technique he learned from Liang Hao himself, and the foot technique was the leaping technique and adding some of his own body skills to understand. He believed that with these martial arts and the great Yuan Dan given to Niu Dali and others, self-protection should be no problem.
