Chapter 232: Training in Anzhou Prefecture
Chapter 232: Training in Anzhou Prefecture
Suddenly, it felt its neck relax and the air that was trapped in its chest was released.
Ji Decai: It’s over! I’ve gone to see the King of Hell!
Ji Xiaobei slapped it with a loud slap: It’s time to get up, stop pretending…
Ji Decai's body shook and he jumped up, turned around twice on the spot, and shook his head vigorously several times before he made sure that he was still alive.
It made a long "Ah... Uh..."
Several young men and the old lady sat limply on the side of the road, panting heavily...
Ji Xiaobei: Forget it, I’ll do it myself!
She smiled apologetically at the carriage opposite, walked to the donkey cart, picked up the two broken shafts, pulled the donkey cart to the side of the road, and made a gesture of invitation to the people in the carriage.
Then a voice came from the carriage: "This strong man has strong arms and a big waist, and his strength is amazing..."
Ji Xiaobei hated being called a warrior the most, and rolled her eyes at the carriage: I'll just take it as a compliment!
The carriage drove slowly by, a pair of delicate hands grabbed the curtain, and the eyes were staring at Ji Xiaobei.
Ji Xiaobei glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, wondering: These eyes look so familiar, where have I seen them before?
Hey! I don’t know anyone in Anzhou except Ruo Xiaolian and Jiaojiao.
She didn't care either.
Only then did Mrs. Lin, Shitou and the others recover from their shock.
The boy at Fangya looked at them with a mixture of laughter and tears.
Why am I so unlucky today? I finally got a customer to come, but something went wrong on the way.
He glanced at his frail carriage, trembling with fear, and said, "Sir, are you all right? Can I still look at this house?"
"Look, why not?" Ji Xiaobei said calmly. She came here today to book the house.
The young man said embarrassedly: "It's a long way!"
Ji Xiaobei looked at the broken donkey cart and said, "Mom, the donkey cart is broken. Let's buy another one. As long as the people are fine, that's all!"
Mrs. Lin burst into tears: "We just bought a new donkey cart in Anqing County... How could we be so unlucky? One of them was burned, and this one overturned and broke..."
Ji Xiaobei: It’s okay, it was a close call!
Shitou complained with a stern face about Fugui and Tieliang, saying that they insisted on watching the fun, which resulted in the car being broken and people almost dying!
Tieliang and Fugui blushed and dared not say a word.
Ji Xiaobei stopped Shitou, saying that the two children were introverted by nature and they should not be left with any psychological trauma.
"Well, mother, you take Fangya's carriage. I'll ride Decai, and the others will stay here and wait for us..."
As soon as Ji Xiaobei's words came out, Shi Tou immediately wilted. Why not let him go?
He is the only male in the Ji family.
Although I don't make the final decision, I must participate in important matters.
The waiter was a man who could read people's expressions. He understood immediately and said, "Let the young master and the old lady take the carriage together. There is really no room for the rest of them!"
Shi Tou looked at the boy gratefully.
"Sister Xiaobei, can we run there?" Chazi recovered from the contractions.
Fugui and Tieliang also nodded.
The roads in Anzhou City are all blue brick roads, which are much easier to drive on than the roads in Jijia Bay. They tried it this morning and it was not difficult at all.
Ji Xiaobei: …
Looking at the three pairs of expectant eyes, Ji Xiaobei really couldn't refuse.
"Shitou, why don't you join them for a training run? Running is running anywhere..."
Ji Xiaobei said.
"Okay, sure!" several children said in unison.
The boy looked at them in disbelief: What is this operation?
So, Mrs. Lin got on the boy's carriage.
Ji Xiaobei got on the carriage of Ji Decai and followed beside it. He sat high up and could see far, leisurely admiring the Anzhou city in early autumn.
Shitou led the team, while Chazi Fugui and Tieliang lined up to protect Ji Decai.
Shitou regained the high spirits he had in Jijia Bay. His legs seemed to be equipped with springs and he ran easily and steadily.
Passersby looked at them sideways: These servants are really good, their master rides on the donkey and they run, how loyal!
The sedan chair of the Anzhou prefect passed by them and saw the person on the donkey through the curtain.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for the donkey.
Alas! It is difficult for me to be an official. There are many bandits in Anzhou. It is really a headache.
The bandits were so rampant that they tried to assassinate the magistrate. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise he would have lost his official hat.
He took another look at the big man on the donkey. He was tall and mighty. He didn't know where he came from. If all the bandit-suppression soldiers were as strong as him, they might have killed all the bandits long ago.
He sighed and closed his eyes.
Ji Xiaobei, who was sitting on Ji Decai, had no idea that Liang Zhizhou was praising her so much.
A quarter of an hour later, we arrived at the house in the city center.
The surrounding is very prosperous, the house is a bit old, and there is a musty smell when you go in.
"How much does this house cost per month to rent?" asked Shitou.
"This house may look old, but it has a good location. If you want to go to the city, you can walk there. If you want to buy something, it's very convenient. There is a market in front...
Clean it up and dry it. It's a really nice house. If you don't rent it, it might be gone tomorrow! Three taels of silver a month! "
Shitou was shocked: "Oh my god, it's so expensive? Are you trying to rob me?"
Chazi and the other three did not participate in these things. They wandered around curiously, wanting to see what the differences were between the house in Anzhou and the house in Jijiawan.
The house in Jijiawan costs 3 cents a month, but no one is renting it.
Ji Xiaobei and Mrs. Lin exchanged glances, expressing dissatisfaction.
They went to another place, which was indeed a bit remote, and it took them about half an hour to arrive there.
Ji Decai's legs were so tired that they were weak. Ji Xiaobei felt that he was running out of energy, so when going uphill, he kicked the ground to give him some support.
Shitou and the others were running so hard that their intestines were about to fall out and their faces turned purple.
Fortunately we arrived, otherwise someone would have died!
The alley is called Mingyi Lane, and it is very deep.
At the end there is a crooked jujube tree with red dates on it.
There was a large crimson wooden door under the jujube tree, which was tightly closed.
The young man opened the door and found the large courtyard was very spacious, with five main rooms and three side rooms on each side.
Shitou bent over and supported himself with his legs, took a deep breath, and followed closely in.
Chazi and the others collapsed under the jujube tree, not wanting to move at all.
There are some unused farm tools at the base of the wall.
Mrs. Lin took one look at it and liked it immediately.
"Sir, this family is planning to go to the capital, and this house can be rented or sold..."
Without waiting for the waiter to finish his introduction, the three of them went to the places that interested them.
Mrs. Lin strode to the backyard.
There is a large open space in the backyard, a vegetable patch that has not been leveled yet, and most importantly, a well.
Mrs. Lin had already started planning in her mind. She was planting vegetables here, building a chicken coop here, and making a donkey shed for Ji Decai over there...
Ji Xiaobei went into the house. The five main rooms were bright and clean, with only simple tables, chairs and benches.
The side rooms are all empty and can be lived in after a little cleaning.
There are stones in the front and back yards, and he thinks everywhere is good.
"Mom, there is a piece of vacant land in the backyard, you can grow vegetables..."
Shitou couldn't contain his excitement and shouted to Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin glared at him and said: Are you stupid? How are you going to bargain like this?
Shitou rubbed his head, shut his mouth and didn't dare to say any more...
Chazi and his friends came in with shaking legs. After taking a quick look around, they said to Shitou, "Brother Shitou, this house is much better than that one. I think your sister will definitely like it..."
Mrs. Lin: ...
