“Alright, I’ll heed that advice.” Zhou Ying nodded.
The next day, Manager Liu arrived in a carriage before the couple left the house.
Gu Chengrui was surprised as he let him in. “Uncle Liu, have you eaten? If you haven’t, we have noodles here. I’ll make you a bowl of noodles with two eggs.”
“I’ve eaten; I’m here to discuss something.” Manager Liu answered, shaking his head.
“Do tell,” Gu Chengrui said.
“I want to request that some people live in your manor; is that possible?” Manager Liu asked.
Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying looked at each other happily. Of course, they wouldn’t show it on their faces as Zhou Ying asked, “You’re doing this for the sweet potato seedlings?”
…..
“Yes, since it’s a treasure, we must protect it no matter how tiring it is.”
“Sure, but the water…”
“Don’t worry about water, food, and accommodation. We’ll arrange it ourselves.”
“You want to drill a well?”
“We’ll give it a try. It’s such a big piece of land, and it’s at the foot of the mountain. We’ll definitely find a water source.”
“That’s exactly what we wanted to do too. We’ll leave it to you then.”
“Alright, but you must give us more seeds when the time comes.”
“No problem. I’ll give you everything you need from the manor, and we’ll just ask for more from the village.”
“Then it’s a deal. You can’t go back on your word.”
“No regrets.” Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying nodded at the same time. After that, the two brought him to the manor.
The two villages weren’t far from each other. One was on the south side of the river, and the other was on the north; they were in a straight line to each other.
Therefore, Xiahe village was a small village closer to the mountain. Because of the lack of arable land, the land here was more for rearing.
When they arrived at the periphery of Xiahe village, they saw more than 20 strong men waiting there. There were more than ten ox-carts parked next to them, and they were all full of provisions.
Each of them was tall and straight. One look and anyone could tell that they had undergone some sort of special training.
When they saw the three, they immediately greeted them respectfully, “Butler Liu, Doctor Gu, and Manager Zhou.”
“These are the people I brought.” Manager Liu stepped forward and introduced them.
“Welcome. I’ll leave the safety of the manor to you all.” Gu Chengrui stepped forward and greeted them.
“Can I make a small request?” He looked at Manager Liu.
“Go ahead,”
”1 see that all of them arc martial arts practitioners. A group of people in my manor are learning martial arts, so I hope your men can give them some pointers when they are free.”
“No problem. Even if you don’t ask us, we’ll do so. After all, we won’t be able to protect the manor completely.”
“Alright, let’s go in then.” After Gu Chengrui made his request, he walked them into the manor and found Chang Shun, Qian Zhuang, and the others. He introduced them to each other.
In the end, he arranged for Manager Liu and the others to set up camp at the courtyard’s edge.
That’s right; they had brought tents, which saved him a lot of trouble accommodating them.
After settling them down, the couple brought Manager Liu to meet Uncle Nian before returning to town.
When they entered the town, they found that the streets, which were initially empty, had become lively. However, most of them were refugees, and there were also many beggars.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui stopped the carriage and said to Zhou Ying, “Do you see that? There are many more beggars on the street. You must be careful when you open your restaurant.”
“I know. You too. Try not to make house calls if you can.” Zhou Ying nodded and reminded him.
After that, she looked around and found more beggars near her restaurant. It seemed that she had to be extra careful..
