Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

When Lu Fanghai arrived at the shop, he saw that it was Lu Dawei looking for him.

"Eh? Why are you here at this time? Is your brother feeling better?"

Lu Fanghai was worried about Lu Dawei's seriously injured brother, and he was just about to wake up when he was around.

Because he was thinking about Du Wenxiu, he left without waiting for Lu Dawei to introduce him.

"Haha." Lu Dawei laughed and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu, for still thinking about him. Now he can walk."

As he said that, he threw another object towards Lu Fanghai. He raised his hand to catch it and saw that it was a purse.

"Didn't you say you would give it to me when you got back? How come you have it now?"

Lu Fanghai couldn't help but wonder.

"It was my third brother who heard about the story between me and Big Brother Lu. He said that since Big Brother was in urgent need of money, I should not delay. Besides, a mere forty or fifty taels of silver could not solve Big Brother Lu's predicament, so he gave me the full hundred taels of silver and asked me to bring it to Big Brother Lu."

Looking at the purse in his hand, Lu Fanghai was even more confused.

"What does your third brother do for a living? Why is he so generous?"

"Well, since you have the money, Brother Lu, don't ask. Just take the money and pay the debt first."

Lu Dawei said carelessly, and looked around at the pickles and bacon in the shop. The faint sour smell in his nose made him swallow a few times.

Lu Fanghai stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and asked:

"Tell me first what kind of business you want him to do, and then I'll decide whether I want him or not."

Lu Dawei was a little impatient and sighed:

"Since someone has sent money to my door, why do you still ask where it came from? If you don't want it, just return the money to me and I will return it to him."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand to take the purse, but Lu Fanghai refused to give it to him.

The hand that held his arm was like an iron clamp, tightly clamped, and the other hand held up the purse so that he could not reach it.

Thinking of what Master Qiwen said just before he came here, Lu Dawei couldn't help but panic.

"Brother Lu, I came here with good intentions to give you money, why are you treating me like this?"

"Whether you are a farmer or a hunter, you have a family to support. How can you come up with a hundred taels of silver right away?"

As he spoke, Lu Fanghai twisted Lu Dawei's arms, tied them behind his back, and growled:

"Tell me, what kind of business do you and Shi Qiwen do for a living?"

Since they were still in the shop, Lu Fanghai immediately pulled Lu Dawei to the inner courtyard.

Little Tiger, who was eating voraciously in the yard, looked at the two of them like this and forgot to eat for a moment and just stared at them blankly.

Du Wenchan brought the soup from the kitchen and put it on the table for Xiaohu. She turned around and saw Lu Fanghai pushing a man against the wall, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Shut up!" Lu Fanghai turned his head slightly and shouted softly.

Du Wenchan quickly covered her mouth and ran to the main room to find Du Wenxiu.

Hearing her talk so strangely, Du Wenxiu, who was altering clothes, also leaned out to take a look.

I saw Lu Fanghai pushing the man against the wall, unable to move.

Lu Dawei was so angry that he started to curse, blaming him for not knowing how to appreciate kindness and being an ungrateful person...

Lu Fanghai ignored him and used more force with his hands. Lu Dawei's face immediately turned red in pain and beads of sweat dripped down his face.

The two men were in a stalemate for a long time, and Lu Dawei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, let go and I will tell you." Lu Dawei said angrily.

Lu Fanghai relaxed his strength a little, and Lu Dawei broke free, swinging his arms and looking around the courtyard in front of him.

Seeing there was food on the table, he sat down and started eating.

Lu Fanghai also sat over and asked Du Wenchan to bring the wine from home and add two more dishes.

Three men, two adults and one child, sat in the yard and started eating and drinking.

"Humph, if I wasn't afraid that you would be late in paying the debt and then you wouldn't be able to pay it back with the interest compounded, I wouldn't have come to you so rashly."

Lu Dawei said angrily:

"Third brother is right. After so many years of not being together, people's hearts will change. What's more, you are an official and I am..."

Lu Dawei almost blurted out something nonsense, so he quickly stopped talking and glanced at Lu Fanghai out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that he didn't react, she continued to pick up food and put it into her mouth.

Du Wenchan quickly fried two dishes, warmed up the wine, and cut some pickles for them to go with the wine. Then she took the full Xiaohu to sit in the main room.

"Which village are you from?"

Lu Fanghai put a piece of food into his mouth and asked casually.

"Qinglong..." Lu Dawei felt that he must have been drunk, even though he had only taken a sip of the wine in the bowl in front of him.

Lu Fanghai snorted and laughed.

"It is because the county magistrate is greedy for comfort and always says that not making mistakes is a merit. If it were up to the county lieutenant, he would have uprooted your village many times."

"Tsk!" Since his identity had been exposed anyway and Lu Dawei was still a bachelor, he picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all.

"Let him come, and see whether he uproots us or flees with his men."

Lu Fanghai didn't argue with him about these things.

“When did you go up the mountain?”

"Didn't I tell you that my brother was dragged to death by a crazy horse? This incident caused my family to be broken up. If my father had someone to take care of him, he wouldn't have become a shell of a man."

Lu Dawei picked up the wine jar, and he and Lu Fanghai filled the bowl, then poured some for himself, and then said:

"After burying my father, I hid my identity and went to work for that family. Hey, guess what, the crazy horse was still there. If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have been able to sneak in so easily."

"I have been a soldier for many years. In our squad, I am the best horse trainer. Do you recognize that?"

Lu Fanghai nodded, as if he also remembered his time in the army, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, I said I could tame a wild horse, but they didn't believe me, so they used the horse to test my skills. So, of course I have to show them my skills."

"What's the crazy horse? It's just that someone hid a needle under the saddle and wanted to kill the young master of that family, but my brother died instead."

"I quietly removed the needle. With my skills, the horse naturally became obedient. Immediately, the young master sent me to take care of the horse for him."

Lu Dawei laughed nervously. Lu Fanghai clinked glasses with him and he picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"I stayed in that house for half a year. During that time, when I was traveling with that young master, I designed a plan to scare his horse and make him fall off the cliff. When I found him, he had already turned into a pool of meat paste, haha."

"Later, while the master of that family was out, I sneaked into the inner house. I had already found out that the second concubine and the eldest young master of that family were at odds with each other and wanted to kill each other."

"I secretly tied her up and asked her about it. It turned out that she was the one who had someone hide the needle in the saddle and killed my brother."

Lu Fanghai poured him some wine and listened to him carefully.

"This crazy woman is so arrogant. She thought I didn't dare to kill her even when she was about to die. She said my brother's life was worthless and he would die if he died."

"I was so angry that I chopped off her head. Just as I was about to leave, I heard crying and shouting outside."

As he said that, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the dish, and couldn't help praising Lu Fanghai's stir-fried food for being really good.

"We came out to see that it turned out that our Qinglong Village had prepared the route in advance. They knew that the guards had gone out with the master that day, so they took the opportunity to come and rob."
