Chapter 42 Let's Travel Together 4

Qi Bosong thanked the mayor and patriarch, and he also knew that the price of his silver was low. However, if you really file a lawsuit, you will not only waste the land, but also often go to the government office. Will you do your own business?

Although he said that he wanted to sue Uncle Wang, Qi Boxong and Zhen Xing still hoped to calm things up.

After the onlookers dispersed, the mayor suddenly invited Qi Bosong and Zhen Xing to stay. Zhen Xing and Qi Boxong are a little puzzled. Is there anything else for the mayor?

"I said Xiaoqi, you should thank me for this matter. If it hadn't been for the reason with Lao Wang last night, how could he be so happy today? The mayor said.

Qi Bosong and Zhen Xing looked at each other. The mayor raised his eighteen palms and wanted to take a slap. It's true that the kid who sent him away came again.

"That's nature, that's nature." Qi Bosong said with a smile.

The mayor nodded and said with a smile, "Then are you going to thank me like this?"

Zhen Xing turned her eyes and hurriedly said in front of Qi Boxong's words, "The best restaurant in Yili. Let's treat you. Please be honored by the mayor!"

Unexpectedly, the mayor waved his hand, one hand scratched his beard, and his eyes were spinning. At a glance, he knew that he must be thinking about something wrong.

"You don't have to go to the restaurant. Let me ask you, what should you do with your house? The mayor said.

Qi Boxong and Zhen Xing didn't want us to give him the house for a while, would they? How big is this? How dare you reach out for a house? It seems that the corruption of the Qing Dynasty has reached an outrageous level.

No wonder, people say: ten years of Qing magistrate, 100,000 snowflake silver.

"Oh, we are thinking about this house." Qi Bosong didn't say anything at once. He looked at other people's purpose first and considered the next plan.

The mayor's bad smile of "hey hey" showed his blackened teeth after smoking all year round.

"I said, why don't you sell it to me?" I heard that you are doing well in Ili, and you also have a house. This house is also idle. My youngest son is married this year and will get married next year. The eldest son and daughter-in-law live with us, and it is inconvenient for the youngest son and daughter-in-law to live in. Your house is the best in the whole town. If you want, we can pay more money. The mayor said.

In Zhenxing's heart, there are a hundred willing and a hundred unwilling. Saying yes, no one came back to live in this house, and it was not true that Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law always lived there. She said she didn't want to, but every corner of the house was carefully designed by her, both inside and outside, but it was her painstaking efforts.

The mayor seemed to see Zhen Xing's heart and said with a smile, "Look, you won't come back to live in that house. Let others live in it. Those people live there. Can she cherish your house? You can drive them away when you come back now. When you go back, won't they live in again? Do you think that's the truth?

Qi Bosong looked at Zhen Xing. The house was hers, and she was in charge. Qi Bosong knew that Zhen Xing had a special feeling for the house. After all, it was designed by herself, and it was his first home after leaving the palace, carrying too many reluctant emotions.

Zhen Xing suddenly made up her heart and said, "One hundred and thirty taels, I won't sell it for less than a dime!"

"One hundred and thirty taels is too expensive!" The mayor exclaimed.

Zhen Xing's eyes are full of stubbornness. At the beginning, it took a hundred taels to buy that house, and I decorated it again. Among other things, let's talk about the hut. Do you know how many taels of silver I spent? In a word, one hundred and thirty taels, I won't sell it for a dime less!" Zhen Xing said.

The mayor touched his chest sadly and said helplessly, "Well, one hundred and thirty taels is one hundred and thirty taels. Shall we sign the document?"

"Our land deed is not worn on us. Let's wait for the two of us to come back from out of town. Don't worry, since my wife has promised to sell it to you. When I come back, I will come to sign the document in person. Qi Bosong said.

"How long are you going?" The mayor asked inquisitively.

"About seven or eight days." Qi Bosong said.

The mayor had to give up and had to wait for the two people to come back from other places.

Zhen Xing and Qi Bosong were finally able to go on the road again, holding Uncle Wang's ten taels of silver and the documents of the leased land in their arms. Walking on the sunny avenue, breathing the air of the wild, my heart is lazy.

Zhen Xing secretly calculated an account, according to the one-year algorithm of one liang of silver per acre of land. Ten mu of land is ten taels of silver a year, and only one hundred taels of silver a year in ten years. At the beginning, they spent 400 taels of silver when they bought the land. At this rate, it would take 40 years to recover the capital!

It takes so long to wait! Forty years later, they have become old men and women.

However, it may become a good location in the eyes of developers in a hundred years. At that time, the room for appreciation will still be considerable. It can be left to future generations.

However, China has experienced a vigorous land reform movement. At that time, can its children and grandchildren become millionaires? Besides, before he fell in love with Qi Boxong, he thought of his descendants? What a shame.

Thinking of this, Zhen Xing blushed.

However, it's really a loss to wrap the ground out. It's better to hire workers to farm. In this way, the annual cost of the worker is about ten taels of silver. Ten mu of land can earn about 30 taels of silver a year, and the cost of going out workers can net out of 20 taels.

Twenty taels a year, two hundred taels a year, and a twenty-year return. This is quite cost-effective.

Zhen Xing thought of this and said to Qi Bosong, "Let's just hire someone to farm next year. Hiring someone is ten taels of silver a year. In this way, you can still earn 20 taels, which is more than making money out.

Qi Bosong smiled and said indifferently, "Okay, you can do whatever you want."

The first stop expected by the two was the Narati grassland. As a result, they were delayed in the town for no reason for a day. Although I went on the road again, I couldn't catch the Narati grassland at night anyway.

Zhenxing enjoys the beautiful scenery in the wild, Pingchuan along the way, and the sheep sheep. Occasionally, through a small forest, the sun hits Zhen Xing's face through the leaves. Zhen Xing stretched out her hand to gently cover the dazzling light, with a smell of loneliness.

Behind the woods, most of them are large areas of farmland. There are always peasant women with white towels or broken straw hats on their heads, squatting in the field or weeding, or chatting in twos and threes.

An afternoon passed like this, in the cheerful laughter of the peasant women, in the dizzy sunshine, among the feathers of flying birds. Time passes by second by second. Time is eternal. What about love? Can love last forever?

The sky gradually darkened, and Zhenxing and Qi Bosong were a little anxious. Where do they live in the barren mountains? There was no store in front of the village and no store. Qi Bosong took out a cart-style map, but did not find a village or a place where people lived nearby.

I can't find a hotel. Do I want to live in the wild?

Zhen Xing thinks of those heroes in martial arts novels. The strangest thing is that they can endure the wind and sleep without saying anything. The heroes seem to have no other work than eliminating evil and promoting good every day. Do they need to travel every day?

Xiao Feng and Murong Fu are not to mention that one of them is the master of the beggar gang, and the other is the son of Gusu Yanziwu. One is supported by the brothers of the beggar gang, and the other depends on the foundation left by the ancestors.

What about the other heroes? For example, Yang Guo. What do you live on every day? If you don't work, where did the money come from?

When Zhen Xing thought of this, she suddenly felt the smell of copper all over her body. Why don't you want to order anything other than silver?

"I don't think so. Let's just find a place for one night. Otherwise, there is no place to go." Zhen Xing looked at the darker and darker sky and couldn't help saying anxiously.

"Try to find an inn or village. It's not safe for the two of us to live in the wild. Let's not talk about bandits or anything. Even if the beast comes, we can't stand it!" Qi Bosong said.

Zhen Xing nodded. In case she met a grizzly bear and was bitten off half of her head by it... She shivered, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

After walking for about an hour, I finally saw a broken temple in a desert.

"Let's hurry up. If there is a broken temple, it means that the village is not far away!" Qi Boxong said excitedly.

Zhen Xing is reluctant. The night is getting darker and darker, which means that it is getting more and more unsafe. I heard that many bandits have a record of robbing cars at night, which is not a good thing!

"I think we'd better live in a ruined temple. It's not good if you get lost." Zhen Xing said quietly.

Qi Bosong smiled. In the moonlight, his white teeth were as shocking as flying vampire bats. Zhen Xing fought the cold war and the three words "ghost hit the wall" and suddenly rushed into her mind.

"Okay, let's live here. However, it's a little bitter. Don't complain!" Qi Bosong said.

Zhen Xing nodded. It was her first time to live in the temple. There is a novel joy and excitement.

Entering the broken temple, Qi Bosong took out the fire folds from his boots. After lighting it, Zhen Xing couldn't help but be shocked. It's said to be a ruined temple, but it's too shabby. Spider webs are all over the world. The layer of dust under his feet, even the Bodhisattva in the hall, is gray and nothing new.

Zhen Xing's body clung to the back of Qi Bosong. Suddenly, a mouse rushed out, and Zhen Xing jumped down and hurriedly stepped back a few steps. With a snap, Zhenxing's scalp suddenly became numb.

Zhen Xing lowered her head slowly and carefully, and slowly raised her feet. Under her feet was the corpse of a worm that had been trampled by her. The worm was the size of a South American tarantula, with two pliers in front of it and a big belly. The whole body is gray rat, with black stripes.
