Early the next morning, the neighbor opened the door and saw a pool of incompletely dried blood on the doorstep of the woman's house.

She bravely stepped forward and pushed the door open. The scene inside the door frightened her and screamed: "Ah! There's a dead person!"

In the courtyard, the woman kept her arms outstretched with eyes closed, her gray eyes filled with reluctance and regret.

Of course, this is something!

"..."

Pei Qinhu's wound was deep and he stayed in Baohe Hall to recuperate. Knowing that Luo Xi was going to hire them, he fell into silence.

Is anyone really willing to hire these wounded and disabled soldiers?

Seeing this, Luo Xi stood up and said, "There is a courtyard next door. You guys can stay here for now. We can talk about work after you recover from your injuries."

Shopkeeper Cui rolled his eyes: Before using the yard, did he ask his master?

Seeing that the person was about to leave, Pei Qinhu gritted his teeth and called out to the person: "Wait!"

He looked at his disabled brothers who had gone through life and death and said, "Take them away."

He could wait. The brothers all had parents and families to support, so he couldn't wait any longer.

Since he was outside anyway, he wasn't afraid of Luo Xi doing something bad to his brother.

"..."

All the way back to the village, Luo Xi didn't come back for half a month. The pleasant wheat ears in the fields disappeared, and many people hung up their white sails.

Paper money was scattered everywhere.

It seems obvious that the village was visited by rogue bandits.

She quickened her pace and led people to the outside of the bamboo forest, where there was a mist. Fortunately, the bamboo forest was protected from disaster by Lu Yunjin's formation.

Luo Xi entered the forest and moved a few positions. Suddenly, the white mist magically split into a path that only one person could pass through.

Shi Ren stepped onto the path in amazement and asked: "Is it a formation? There are also battle formations in the army. I heard that it is difficult to deal with Qimen Bagua."

Luo Xi said "hmm" without explaining more.

Walking through the cobblestone path, you can see the mountains in the distance and a lake at your feet with blue waves.

A courtyard with green bricks and green tiles was erected not far away, with wild flowers swaying in the wind, and an old hen passing by with her chicks "clucking" in front of the door.

The girl who had not spoken a word all the way couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful! Is this a pure land?"

Luo Xi stared at the chickens with a dark face.

As far as I can remember, she didn't raise chickens.

At this time, a little girl with a round face timidly poked her head out. Luo Xi raised her eyebrows, "Who are you?"

The little girl retracted her head out of fear, then poked her head out after a moment: "Are you the second brother?"

Luo Xi: "???" She is the eldest brother, and she doesn't remember having such a big sister.

Gu Niang walked out of the door at this time, touched the top of the little girl's hair lovingly, and explained to Luo Xi: "She is Lu Yunjin's sister, and she asked me to take care of her for a while."

"Come home quickly. I'll boil hot water for you."

Before leaving, Luo Xi expected that the village would be visited by refugees, so she specially took Gu Niang into the bamboo forest to stay for a while. After hearing this, she squatted down and looked at the little girl:

"Why did you call me second brother?"

The big black grape-like eyes blinked a few times, and the little girl retracted her head and disappeared.

Luo Xi stretched out her hands in embarrassment and couldn't help but look at Gu Niang aggrievedly: "Do I look so scary?"

Gu Niang couldn't stop laughing, "Stop playing tricks and come into the courtyard quickly."

The new home was completed. The house was built very beautifully by Gu Fei, with verandahs on all sides and hanging flower doors separating the east and west courtyards.

To the west is the guest courtyard with rockery pavilions and Dayong architectural style.

She lives in the east, a two-story courtyard that combines ancient and modern times, and has the feel of a small villa.

Luo Xi arranged for Shi Ren and others to stay temporarily in the workshop at the end of the courtyard: "I will repair here first, and I will call you during dinner."

Then visit the new home with Gu Niang. The more I look at her, the more I like it.

Gu Fei was making the final touches in the room. He pulled the pump and sighed:

"Your design is good. Once you pull the rope, water will come out of the tank and flush the excrement away along the pipe."

"And what is this shower called? Water comes out when you step on the pedal. It's easy to clean. It's just that the water tank on the roof is a bit troublesome."

He happily pulled the person into the courtyard, pointed to a fish pond and said: "Filter according to what you said, I have already done it for you, and there is also this rocking chair."

"Look! Do you like everything?"

Luo Xi was not polite and tried them all one by one.

Everything else was okay, but she couldn't stand the ancient huts, especially in summer, the smell... never mind.

Not to mention taking a bath, climbing out from the big bucket and rubbing the whole body is comfortable, but inconvenient.

Therefore, the bathroom in her new house was her top priority, so she made a simplified version of the modern bathroom.

Just like Gu Fei said, except for the inconvenience of storing water, everything else is perfect.

She would hire someone to do it so she wouldn't have to worry about it herself.

The fish pond is not just a big puddle with two fish thrown in it, but an endless layer of layers, with sand and gravel filtering under each layer.

Water pouring down from above provides oxygen to the fish.

Gu Fei really replicated all of Luo Xi's ideas. Lying in the carefully crafted rocking chair, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.

The former pulled an inconspicuous chair in the courtyard. The unremarkable chair followed Gu Fei's pull and pulled out a circle in the courtyard, which could seat eight to ten people.

He sat on it and couldn't stop touching it.

"This thing took me the longest time. I couldn't understand it at first. Only after I started to operate it like a cat and a tiger did I understand the secret."

After visiting the yard and kitchen and bathroom, the two moved to the kitchen and bedroom.

It wasn't until Gu Niang called for dinner that the two of them came down from upstairs still unfinished.

After the meal, Luo Xi looked at the girl she brought back and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl raised her eyes with a glimmer of light, "Zhao Di, my name is Zhao Di."

Luo Xi frowned and didn't like the name. She raised two fingers and asked, "Do you want to work in the workshop, or stay with me?"

"The ugly words are ahead. If you stay with me, you will have to sign a contract of betrayal, and it will be a death contract."

It's true that she likes to admire girls' courage. Saving her is just a matter of convenience and she won't break her principles for it.

Zhaodi didn't answer but asked: "Then will you admit me into your room?"

Luo Xi reflected for a while before she understood what this meant. She laughed with a "puff" and her peach blossom eyes were watery:

"Don't worry! You don't even think I would agree."

When Zhaodi heard this, her eyes changed from struggle to determination, and she made the most correct decision in her life: "I want to follow you."

This decision was not without purpose. Along the way, she saw that this man was very capable, and the wantonness and unruliness in his heart could not be concealed at all.

Grandma once said that only those who have the ability have the capital to do whatever they want.

She didn't want to live a mediocre life. Since this life was saved by Luo Xi, what if she took a gamble?

Losing is just returning to the starting point and trying to get a good pregnancy in the next life.

"Okay!" Luo Xi snapped her fingers, touched her chin and looked at the other person, "Now that you have decided, you will be mine."

"Food and clothing are provided. As long as you don't betray me, I will protect you from now on."

After saying that, his eyes were fierce, "If you dare to betray me, I will make you understand that death is a luxury."

Faced with her powerful aura and cold and sharp murderous intent, Zhao Di felt cold and stiff all over at this moment.

The four characters "never betray" were deeply engraved in her soul forever.

Her legs lost strength and fell to her knees with a pop, "I...I, Zhaodi, swear on my life that I will never betray you."

Luo Xi's face changed as if she were flipping through a book, "laughing".

He helped the person up and said, "Change your name. You will be called Nan Zhi from now on."

Nan Zhi's main blade is the biggest killing weapon around Luo Xi.

Of course, this is something.

He sent Nan Zhi to help Gu Niang clear the dining table, stood up and said to the nervous Shi Ren and his party: "You guys follow me."
