Another World Baixin

There are two guest rooms on both sides of the front courtyard of the Chang family, and a small courtyard behind the guest rooms. The whole house faces south, while the small courtyards on both sides face east and west.Passing through the vestibule, you can see two large courtyards, one on the left and one on the right, which are the residences of the second bedroom of the eldest family.There is a corridor in the middle of the two courtyards leading directly to the courtyard of the head of the Chang family. Outside the courtyard is a garden. A new courtyard was built in the corner, and it has been abandoned for no time for anyone to live in.

In general, this mansion has four courtyards, and the other small courtyards are not counted.Bai Xin stood on the roof and took a look around. He felt that the task was heavy. If they alone wanted to finish the whole house, they would have to do it until next year.Well, this year is about to pass, that is, they may not be able to finish it next year.In short, craftsmen must be invited over later, and the most urgent task is to find a place for the family to live in.

The space in the vestibule alone is more than enough for the four of them plus Bai Baoshu's child to live in, and there is no need to use the small courtyard on the side - it was originally used for the servants to live in.After being sad, Qin regained her spirits and quickly worked with the others.Bai Xin confidently went to the blacksmith shop to pick out a few knives. In this era of cold weapons, mining and smelting is more difficult, and all kinds of minerals are strictly controlled by the government, which makes the price of ironware quite expensive.One kitchen knife, one hatchet, one sickle, three hoes, and one rake, all of which cost Bai Xin a tael or five.He spent a lot of time with the boss before he got the boss to agree to send a medium-sized wok (if you have poultry at home, you need a large wok to cook pig food).

There were enough things to buy, so Bai Xin simply hired a cart to transport the goods.He loaded a cart with food, bedding for sleeping, clean clothes, etc., and pushed it home, and the money in his pocket dropped by 13 taels at once.On that day, all the valuables at home were collected in time by the long running water. There were about three or four hundred taels of these, and most of the money was still with Lao Tong.Now Tong's whereabouts are unknown, and it is not known whether the silver he invested in the past can be recovered.Fortunately, the whole family is safe, that's the point.

Bai Xin transported a cartful of things back, and found that the Qin family had built a stove in the courtyard, and the mud on it was still wet. Looking to the side, several bluestone slabs were missing from the ground.Ah Shui came to pick up the things, and Bai Xin instructed, "Be careful, don't cut your hands."

Suddenly, there was a sound from the small courtyard on the right.Bai Xin didn't have time to explain to Ah Shui, so he strode and jumped over, passed through several arches, and saw a black and dirty figure turning his back to him, about to get into a hole in the wall.Without thinking too much, Bai Xin took out a ball of Papa from his chest and threw it on the man.

The man touched it subconsciously, and finally found a little golden snake, "Ah!!!—"

Before Bai Xin arrived, the guy fainted from fright.Ajin, who was thrown as a weapon, woke up from hibernation in a daze. When he noticed the smell of a stranger, he opened his mouth to bite. Bai Xin picked up a broken log on the ground and plugged the mouth of the snake in time.The broken wood stuck Ah Jin's mouth and teeth, and it was so angry that its tail trembled, and it vigorously beat the guy who had passed out, while the vertical pupil stared angrily at the unscrupulous master. After biting, he rushed towards Bai Xin.

Bai Xin's sudden disappearance made the rest of the people very nervous, and they rushed to find out.At this time, Bai Xin had already comforted Ah Jin—a certain snake didn't think so, so it slipped away as a snake and didn't stay by Bai Xin's side anymore.

"This is—!" Qin exclaimed when he saw the crooked figure on the ground.

Ah Shui found a branch from somewhere, and while pulling Bai Xin over, he poked the figure carefully.

Bai Xin pointed to the hole in the wall and said: "It should have gotten in from there. He must have come in often. Now he fainted from fright, and he's fine for now."

The beggars in the streets and alleys of Xijiang City all know that the Changfu has been abandoned, and they have long wanted to come in and set up a den, but the neighborhood where the Changfu is located is very safe, and beggars are not allowed to stay. Once found, they will be arrested and beaten. When a plank was knocked down, half of the beggars who were hungry and full lost their lives, and some even died of being unable to bear it.With such severe punishment, few have the courage to challenge the authority of the government.

The beggar Bai Xin and the others found is a newcomer. He is at odds with the "beggar gang" and has no place to live.By accident, he found a small hole dug out by a mouse at the bottom of the wall on one side of the Changfu, so he broke through the bricks and stones through this small hole, and made a hole that allowed one person to get in.There was nothing good inside, and it was blocked by weeds and shrubs that proliferated wantonly, so he only occupied the small courtyard closest to the entrance of the cave. Whenever he went out, he would block the entrance of the cave with bricks and stones again—although it couldn't stop people who really wanted to go in. Just for peace of mind.

Now that Bai Xin's family is back, naturally this person can no longer be allowed to stay here.

Lin Da went into the small courtyard, walked around, and brought out a large bag of bedding that exuded a strange smell.Lin Da only thought that he stood far away from everyone, and only he himself would be smoked, but he didn't know that Bai Xin's body was different from ordinary people, not only his physical strength and hearing, but also his sense of taste.Bai Xin hurriedly ordered Ah Shui and Qin Shi to go back, and he and Lin Da can take care of it here.

The strange smell was really intoxicating, but it was no worse than the smell when we picked out manure in the past.Qin's love for Bai Xin was very beneficial, she was going to go back and wipe the floor, so she could spread the bedding and sleep at night.

Before leaving, Qin took Ah Shui away without any hassle.Looking at the figure of the beggar on the ground, it can be seen that this is a man; but there is a strange man here, Ah Shui is not suitable to stay for a long time as a good son, the matter is left to his husband Bai Xin.Originally in Dongxi Village, a poor and remote place, there was not enough food and clothing to keep warm, so I didn't have the leisure to pay attention to many etiquettes.Now that she has returned to Xijiang City and let Bai Xin become the head of the household, Qin thinks that some rules should be picked up and used appropriately.In comparison, Liangzi is still less restrained than women.

Bai Xin bent down slightly, grasped the body wrap around the head and tail of the beggar with both hands and lifted him up, ready to push him out of the cave.Lin Da hurried to help, but before his hand touched the beggar, the scene suddenly changed.The beggar, who was still unconscious just now, stretched out his hands to support the ground, put his foot on his back, and suddenly turned somersault out of Bai Xin's control.

Bai Xin's expression tensed instantly, and the moment the beggar's feet hit the ground, he kicked him flying, causing him to fall face-to-face again.Lin Da's eyes were sharp, and he rushed forward to suppress him with his hands cut back.

"Ahem!" Lin Da exerted so much force that the beggar was almost out of breath.

"Uncle Ah, give him a little breath."

Lin Da obediently relaxed his knee a little.

"We are from this mansion. We have just moved back from other places. I don't care if you are a beggar or not. From now on, you can no longer stay here. I will give you two ways. One is where you come from Just get out from there and never show up again; two, I'll push you out."

The man lowered his head and couldn't see the expression.After a while before he answered, Lin Da suddenly pushed his knee against his back, and scolded him viciously: "Say it quickly! Otherwise, I will send you to the government right now!" He had seen clearly just now that this guy actually knew a little martial arts, It must be dangerous.

"Okay, okay! I said, please don't push me, sir, your lungs are about to be pushed out by you! Cough cough——I'll leave right away and never show up again!"

Lin Da glanced at Bai Xin, and got up just after getting a signal to tell him to stand up.

This person was above average in height, and he was barefoot in winter, with obvious frostbite marks on his black and dirty feet.The original color of the wrapping cloth on his body could no longer be seen. I don't know if it was because it was covered with more cloth or because his body was already strong, but the whole body looked quite strong.The hair on the head is like dried sauerkraut.

He twisted his body, grinned at Bai Xin, showing his yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "This young master is pretty good, he almost broke his leg with your kick."

Bai Xin was noncommittal about this.Lin Dazhong, the head of the household, waved his fist at him and yelled, "Get lost! My young master is kind-hearted, and I won't let you stay any longer!"

He smiled provocatively at Lin Da, without saying a word, turned around to pick up his own things, Lin Da was bundled into a ball, and now he can just grab it.When he turned around, his dirty hair twitched, revealing his old and wrinkled face, only a trace of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth revealed the mania in his heart.Bai Xin suddenly realized that this person's face was familiar, and the sixth sense gave him a very strong feeling.

This person grabbed the bundle of bedroll with one hand, threw it straight from the top of the wall, and then lowered his body to the hole in the wall.

"Zhou Lang? Mother on Tuesday?" Bai Xin called out two names tentatively.

Lin Da felt strange, and said casually, "Why do you suddenly think of them? I think the villagers in the fishing village should be fine."

Bai Xin noticed that the strange beggar's body froze, and he was stuck there motionless.

"Why, do you know their brothers and sisters?"

I saw him respond in a low voice: "People are gone, what's the use of acquaintance." After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and suddenly looked up at Bai Xin, with a little surprise in his frightened expression, "You know that Ah Lang and Er Niang ?”

"Then tell me where the two people you want to know are from?"

He quickly said without thinking: "Donglan Fishing Village, Huanyang Town, Fushan County, Suizhou!"

He was really guessed by himself, Bai Xin thought to himself, he thought that this person was very similar to Zhou Lang, especially the profiles of the two, they were almost the same, thinking that the four elders above Zhou Lang never came back after going out to sea, Just tried it. "Are you Ah Lang's father or uncle?"

"It's father," his eyes gradually turned red, and he held back his tears because his hands were too dirty, and said again: "When Ah Lang was young, I went to sea with his mother and my younger brother. , I encountered a strong storm at sea and capsized the boat. I didn’t expect that I could wake up, but I was on an island... Then I tried my best to go home, and I didn’t come back until recently. Unexpectedly, the fishing village was burned to the ground Ashes, ashes everywhere..."

His hair fell down to cover his face, and there was a faint whimper.There is a saying that a man bleeds and doesn't sweat, just because he doesn't reach the place where he is sad.

Bai Xin knew that he was hiding something in his words, but this was his own experience, so there was no need to tell them.To be on the safe side, Bai Xin asked him some more questions.After his answers matched the facts, Bai Xin told him that Zhou Lang and Zhou Yuan were probably still alive. At present, it seems that they are very likely to be arrested, in Huanyang town or in the mountain city.

When Zhou's father heard it, how could he sit still, and immediately wanted to run over to find someone.

"Uncle broke into the enemy's position alone, and he would be arrested before he saw a single acquaintance. How to rescue Brother Alang and the others?"

Father Zhou's eyes were cracked, he hated pirates for their cruelty, and blamed himself for being incompetent.

Lin Da couldn't bear to see it, and couldn't help giving him a suggestion: "Why don't you join the army? I heard that the Dongcheng District Barracks will send troops to fight against the pirates. I just don't know if you will join the army to fight after you go in."

Father Zhou hesitated and said, "What if I have a way to deal with the pirate army? How can I meet the generals of the barracks and tell them the way?"

Hearing this, Bai Xin and Lin Da were surprised and delighted, but after thinking about it, they couldn't quite believe it.Bai Xin asked him: "What is uncle's method? Does it really work? This is not as simple as casting a net to catch fish."

However, Zhou's father had some scruples and refused to speak out.

Bai Xin thought about it, and persuaded: "Otherwise, uncle will wait at my house first. I know an adult, and I just sent him a letter. Maybe this adult can recommend you to meet the general who is about to send troops. .”

This really surprised Father Zhou.He really wanted to rush to the front line at this moment, but the experience of grinding on the island for many years made him calm down.If he had been so impulsive back then, he wouldn't have had the chance to run back.

Bai Xin secretly asked Lin Da whether the letter written to him by Lin Xun himself could be used as a letter of recommendation.Lin Da thought for a while, then whispered: "The other party must be from the master's side and an adult who can read the master's handwriting."

"That is to say, first of all, we need to find out who is the general who sent troops from the barracks outside the city?"

Lin Da nodded lightly, "Otherwise, I will tell the master about it, and wait for the master to send a letter of recommendation."

Inconvenient transportation really affects the exchange of information.Bai Xin is not an official, otherwise he could use the post station to deliver the letter; now relying on the messenger to pass the news to Lin Xun, it is not known how the situation on the battlefield will change.

Such a method is not a solution, but it is the most useful at the moment.Father Zhou was also willing to wait, otherwise how could the generals listen to him as a down-and-out beggar.

Since he wanted to stay, Zhou's father got out and brought in the bedding just now.It's just that he doesn't want to go to the vestibule, and still lives in his original nest in the small courtyard.

Qin Shi and Ah Shui sighed a lot when they learned that the beggar turned out to be Zhou Lang's father.Qin Shi was very satisfied that he didn't know how to live with their family. Even the father of Bai Xin's best friend shouldn't live in the same courtyard. With her and Ah Shui around, she needs to avoid suspicion.

Bai Xin bought a pot, and the whole family finally had home-cooked dishes at night.When serving the food, Mrs. Qin specially set aside a portion for Lin Da to send to Zhou's father. At the same time, there was also a clean quilt and Lin Da's old clothes for him to use.Father Zhou was very grateful.

It is very inconvenient to take a bath in winter without a large wooden bucket.And when they were in the city, all the firewood for boiling water had to be bought at the market.After working all day, I just wiped my body at night and fell down to sleep.

Bai Xin lay on the floor thinking about what to buy tomorrow and whether to go out of town to cut firewood.Seeing that he was motionless with his eyes closed, Ah Shui leaned closer, tilted his head and kissed him; touched the bed again, and was a little disappointed to find that Ah Jin was not there.Immediately, Bai Xin, who was dozing off, rushed over.

The author has something to say:

Double is more difficult, try four thousand a day.Cough cough, I couldn't help opening a hole, first finish this side and then fill it in, it's just Jiang Zi
