He is from the end of the world

Although it was tomorrow morning, it was already Si time when they gathered at the entrance of the village.The town and village are separated by nearly two hours of mountain roads, so there is no time for such a waste of time.They all figured that it was almost time before they left the door.

At the entrance of the village was a shed built many years ago to keep out the sun and rain. Lu Ciyu and Li Zheng met and sat down to chat for a long time before finally waiting for the appearance of a distant figure.

The visitors didn't seem to be very old just by looking at their appearance. They looked like they were in their 20s, and they were dressed in the uniform of an officer. As soon as they could see the figure from a distance, the three of them hurriedly got up and came out of the shed to greet them.

The two of them were very different from Lu Ciyu's imaginative image of arrogance and power. They returned the greetings in a polite and courteous way, which made Lu Ciyu confused.

Several people rushed to the field after seeing the ceremony, but Lu Ciyu hurriedly stopped them: "It's already noon, and the two officials are probably tired after driving all the way. If you're not in a hurry, why don't you go and rest at the next house?"

They said it was a rest, and everyone present understood what it meant—how could they make people busy when they first arrived, and it was noon, so they just wanted to go to Lu Ciyu's house for a meal.

The two officials looked at each other, as if they were thinking about something, and nodded their heads after a while.

Lu Guixi was in the courtyard when Li was notifying, besides, there was nothing to avoid him in this kind of thing.If other men would go out and finish things by themselves, Lu Ciyu would not. Lin Chi is his husband, so he should be present for such a big family matter.In this way, he was left alone in the house, and before going out in the morning, Lu Ciyu discussed with him to let Lu Guixi help with the cooking, and Lu Guixi was also idle, so he naturally agreed.

Both of them seemed to have forgotten that one of them was injured and couldn't move around.

Lu Ciyu never left things in the house that shouldn't appear in this world, he always took them from the space as they were used.Only the prepared seasonings were kept in his and Lin Chi's bedroom, so there was nothing to worry about being discovered.

They walked towards the small courtyard of the Lu family as they passed the curious or scrutinizing eyes of the crowd.

Besides, Lu Guixi opened the window halfway in the morning, and carved the wooden figure in his hand with a dagger.

It stands to reason that special carving tools should be used to carve these things, but Lu Guixi is going to assassinate, so there is no time to bring these.He only has a few hidden daggers that never leave his body.Lu Ciyu is not a person who cares about outsiders, although there are in the space, but he is not in the mood to help him find them.

However, Lu Guixi is also an indifferent character who is easygoing and easy-going.He is very good-natured and patient. He can entertain himself with small things for most of the day. He took a piece of leftover material that he cut off to make a bench yesterday and started to carve small wooden figures.

He couldn't sleep at night, and stayed up most of the night last night because of these two little things. If the tools were not complete, he would use the tip of the dagger to grind it bit by bit.It's just one night and one morning, and the two villains in my hands have already taken shape.

From the window came the sound of a bird flapping its wings.Lu Guixi raised his head, and saw a dark blue-brown falcon falling by the window, with a pair of bean-sized golden eagle eyes staring at him without blinking.

Lu Guixi was a little surprised, and beckoned him to come over.

This swallow falcon was one of the tributes sent by Yu Di, a tribe in the southern border, a few years ago.Ferocious and brutal, a born king of birds of prey, the new emperor just took a look at it and liked it very much.It took more than half a year to train the eagle personally, and it was only after the wildness was worn out that it became extremely obedient, and then it was given to Lu Guixi as a gift.

Although it was given to him, Xindi would sometimes take it back for a few days and take it to the hunting ground to hunt, and occasionally use it to deliver letters.

Although in Lu Guixi's opinion, it is a bit wronged to let him do the work of carrier pigeons.

Yan Falcon landed on his bed obediently, and its sharp claws scratched a hole in the sheets of the Lu family.Lu Guiximo, he is penniless now and doesn't know how to compensate others, he can only wait for Lin Chi to come back and borrow a needle and thread to make up for it, and wait until he has money.

There was a small bamboo tube tied to Yan Sun's leg, Lu Guixi raised his hand to take it off and opened it, and there was only a piece of pure white brocade silk without words inside.He was silent for a moment, knowing that the other party had already found out his whereabouts.

It was only the second day he came to Lu's house, yet the other party had already got a clear idea of ​​his whereabouts.

Lu Guixi sighed. The paper, pen, ink and inkstone that Lu Ciyu brought earlier were still in his room. He took the ink and picked up the pen. He pondered for a long time before writing down a few lines. Every word was carefully considered for a long time for fear of making a mistake. , I dare not touch too much ink for fear that it will drip on the smudged cloth.

Lu Guixi didn't know many words, he was picked up by the old leader of Qingyun Gang since he was a child, and all he learned was fighting and killing skills.Originally, he didn't know many more characters than Lin Chi, but now he can write and understand things because the child suddenly "showed mercy" to teach him.

The little emperor, since he was a child, was smart about the world and understands people's hearts. If he sees something wrong between the lines...the Lu family and Yangning Village will not be able to calm down.

Sending such a blank message, it is obvious that he wants to listen to his explanation.

Time passed by in a flash, and after Lu Guixi racked his brains and finished his words, he stuffed the cloth back into the bamboo tube and let the falcon fly away before he realized that it was too late.He already lived in someone else's house, it would be bad if he delayed Lu Ciyu's affairs, he hastily returned his things and went into the kitchen to cook.

When Lu Ciyu and his party returned, they saw cooking smoke rising from the chimney in the courtyard, and they could smell the tempting aroma of food from a distance.Lu Guixi heard the voice and went out to look. He tied a cloth around his waist, and he was relieved to see them come back—fortunately, he made it in time.

Both Lu Ciyu and Lin Chi were a little surprised - they didn't expect him to cook so well.

Of course, in Mr. Lu's eyes, there are 1 people who are not as good as Lin Chi.

Lu Guixi nodded to a few people as a courtesy, then turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy.

After Lu Ciyu set the table, Lin Chi went in and brought out the hot food in the pot, and got some new wine with a very low alcohol content. The meal was considered to have begun.

Although the place where the house was built was remote, it was in the village, and the group rushed there first after eating.

Coincidentally, the location of the new house is at the foot of the mountain in the north of the village, and the land he chose to open up wasteland happens to be at the foot of another mountain. Maybe this life really has some fate with the mountain... Lu Ciyu felt a little emotional.

The location of the new house has been divided by the government long ago, but no one is willing to buy it because of the remoteness.The two guards just re-confirmed the size and issued a document for Lu Ciyu to take to the government to apply for the land deed. The real troublesome and time-consuming thing is the wasteland at the foot of the mountain.

The land reclamation needs to measure the size first, and then divide it into upper, middle and lower grades according to the geological soil environment and other factors. The amount of tax to be paid for each land is different due to the different grades.

Apart from the embarrassing location, Lu Ciyu's place really has nothing to choose from. If it wasn't for the risk of ruining a year's harvest at any time, it would have been robbed long ago.

The two guards worked hard for a long time and finally measured the size, an area of ​​more than ten mu, but it was difficult when it was their turn to report the grade of the land.

The two of them discussed quietly for a long time, and then they decided that four acres should be classified as high-grade land, and all the rest should be classified as medium-grade land.Lu Ciyu naturally thanked her repeatedly.

After such a long time, he also understood that it wasn't that he was lucky enough to meet two good servants, but that someone had specifically explained to them before they came, and it was even possible... that they were specially selected to come here of.

Lu Ciyu didn't think there was anything about him that deserved so much attention.Li Jiguan is a figure in the town, but he is not powerful enough to have the right to appoint someone to come to such a village to measure the land. Besides, although he values ​​Lu Ciyu, he does not value it to this extent.

The general?But judging from what he said without a trace during the meal, the general set off for the border early this morning.After all, he is the general guarding one side, and he can't leave people at the border for a moment, so how can he have time to stay here for a long time.

The officers and soldiers of the town left quietly, and the previous tense oppression seemed to be an illusion.

Xue Yu?It's not impossible, but Lu Ciyu just caused him a little trouble, does he still have the energy to arrange people?

Lu Ciyu shook his head, keeping everything in his heart.

The guard issued another document, which recorded the location, type and area of ​​the land in detail, and asked him to go to the government to go through the formalities.He also emphasized the benefits of not having to pay taxes for the first three years of land reclamation, and he was about to leave when it was getting late.

Lu Ciyu folded the two documents and handed them to Lin Chi, thinking about keeping them together for a while.But seeing that it was getting late, he couldn't save it, so he had to take out two small purses from his sleeves and stuff them in his palms.

The guards didn't delay this time any longer, they weighed the weight and thanked for accepting it, and they exchanged a few words of greetings before leaving.

Li Zheng sighed: "There is no way to change it now...Why did you choose such a piece of land when you are so good?"

He obviously disagreed too.

Lu Ciyu smiled: "It's nothing, I don't look like I know how to farm the land, don't I want Lin Chi to plant it? I'm not willing to do that."

"I don't have to pay taxes for the first three years or so. In these three years, I have already passed the examination for the scholar's merits. The land is in my name, and I can save a lot of money in tax-free festivals."

"I'm thinking of finding some people in the village to do part-time work, so that I can plant and harvest the land for me. Even if something happens, we can still live on the subsidy and silver that the government gives to scholars."

"Of course, I have to ask Uncle Lizheng to help Liu pay attention, and help me see where there are suitable ones."

Li Zheng nodded in response.

Lu Ciyu originally wanted to ask about buying a mountain by the way, but he seemed to be a little too flamboyant recently, so he swallowed it after thinking about it.

Be a low-key person, he has exposed a lot of money during this period, which is really dangerous.

It's a long time to come, let's discuss it later.
