My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

After hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Li. Jiang Li did not keep them in suspense and said bluntly, "First of all, we need a large number of magic weapons to deal with zombies. These sticky rice are not enough and we have to buy more."

"Secondly, we need to bring these horses back. After all, these are war horses that need to eat fine feed. If they are not handled properly, they will lose weight."

“Finally, we have to go to Tanjia Town and bring those villagers who escaped to serve as witnesses, so as to prevent rumors from spreading that a Maoshan Taoist priest came to Tengteng Town and killed everyone in the town that night.”

Everyone thought what he said made sense, and they immediately decided to rest for a night before going their separate ways. As for the magical chicken, they could only eat glutinous rice for a few meals.

That night, no one acted rashly. They just camped outside the town and were on high alert. Apart from the occasional wild-animal howling, nothing unexpected happened.

The next morning.

Everyone acted separately. Jiang Li led people to send the horses home and collect supplies. Aqiang and Ade drove to invite the surviving villagers. Uncle Jiu brought two gunmen and Mao Shanming to guard the entrance of the village to prevent the zombies inside from escaping and harming the surrounding villages and towns.

A war horse is a war horse. Although it may not run as fast as the wind, Jiang Li estimates that it is at least much faster than the electric scooter with a speed limit. This is because it is holding the reins of another horse for fear of accidents.

They set out in the morning and the horses ate grass twice along the way. At 3:05 pm, the eleven horses and the men arrived at the Jiang family.

The arrival of such a large horse group frightened quite a few people, but the commotion stopped after seeing Jiang Li, and all the villagers and tenant farmers became Chaoyang people and started talking about it.

After returning home, Jiang Li had the horses tied up and told the four people, "You guys drive to buy various supplies according to what we discussed on the way. I will personally lead people to the charity cemetery to get the magic weapon. You must meet here before dawn tomorrow."

After saying this, he told the butler to give each of them thirty dollars, and then they went their separate ways.

Wang Chunhua, Jiang Xiaomei, and Ren Tingting gathered around when they saw Jiang Li coming back. Ren Tingting quickly stepped forward and asked, "Husband, you've worked hard all the way. Come in and take a hot bath, eat something, and rest for a while!"

Jiang Li pulled Ren Tingting over and kissed her. A minute later, he let go of the blushing Ren Tingting. She said shyly, "My mother and sister are here. Why are you like this, my husband?"

Jiang Li took Ren Tingting's hand, walked to his mother and younger sister and said, "Master has urgent matters to attend to, so I can't stay too long. I have to pack up and leave right away. Please don't blame me, mother and Tingting."

After that, he said sorry and went to the warehouse, found the peach wood swords purchased a few years ago, turned them all out and piled them in the yard, called four newly recruited security guards, drove two carriages and set off.

Before leaving, he did not forget to instruct the butler to feed the war horses with fine feed. As for the eight small yellow croakers found from the two horse thieves, they were hidden in a hidden place in the warehouse.

He took out the cold steamed bun he had just brought from the kitchen and started to eat it. After filling his stomach, he took out a bottle of water and took a big gulp. That was his meal.

Soon two carriages arrived at the charity cemetery. They knocked on the door and explained the situation to Wencai briefly. Then with the help of Wencai and four security team members, they loaded the magic tools made by Uncle Jiu and a large number of unfinished magic tools onto the carriage.

After that, he took a lot of yellow paper, black ink and various things needed to draw talismans. Finally, he walked to the portrait of the ancestor and bowed respectfully, saying, "Disciple Jiang Li is here on the order of the master to get the magic weapon to fight the zombies. Please don't blame me, ancestor."

After saying this, he kowtowed and took down the big Guandao. Before leaving, he also took the incense burner with him. Wencai saw it and shouted, "Brother, you took the incense burner away. How can I burn incense?"

Jiang Li walked out without looking back, saying as he walked, "It is important to be sincere when burning incense. You can even use a bowl."

After he finished speaking, he had already walked to the outer gate, got on the carriage, and left the charity cemetery in a hurry, leaving behind Wencai with a dazed look on his face and the mess in the yard.

It was already dusk when he returned to the Jiang family. The village protection team members who were sent out to purchase supplies had not returned yet, so Jiang Li asked the housekeeper to quickly prepare hot water and meals so that Jiang Li, who had been busy for two days, could relax.

After dinner, with the help of Ren Tingting, they took a shower. At this time, the four people who went to buy supplies also came back. Looking at Ren Tingting whose clothes were soaked, Jiang Li suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said, "Tingting, go change your clothes. It will be bad if you catch a cold."

Ren Tingting returned to the room, looking back every few steps. Jiang Li went to the outer door to invite the four people to eat, while he went to check the supplies one by one.

Glutinous rice, hemp rope, black dog, kerosene, candle, lime, wooden fork, long stick, as well as pots, pans, clothes, bedding and a lot of food needed for long-term stay.

After having someone feed the dog, Jiang Li returned to the hall and watched the few people wolfing down the food. After they finished eating, they took out the remaining money.

Jiang Li just smiled and didn't answer. He stood up and said, "The rest is your spoils from dealing with those horse thieves. I told Master before that we should share the spoils with those young men. This is your share."

At this time, the one who spent the least among the four stood up and said timidly, "I don't need so much, young master. This time, I didn't spend much money except for 300 kilograms of glutinous rice. You can take the rest back!"

As he said that, he handed the twenty or so dollars in his hand to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "You are dreaming. You can pool the remaining money together and share it with Jiang Li and Jiang Yi when you come back."

Jiang Zhongcai then scratched his head awkwardly and said no more.

Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Jiang Li said, "Why are you scratching your head? Why don't you go wash your scalp if it itches? Do you still want me to wash it for you?"

Now the four of them went to take a shower with smiles on their faces.

Jiang Li said behind them, "Rest early after washing, we have to get up early tomorrow to travel!"

Seeing that several people heard it, they explained the situation of the past few days to their parents. After that, Wang Chunhua urged, "Okay, okay, you have worked hard these days, go back to your room and rest early!"

Jiang Li then said goodbye to his parents and went back to his room, but what he was thinking was, "It would be a pity if I could rest in my room!"

As expected, as soon as she entered the room, she saw Ren Tingting trying on clothes in front of the mirror. She was startled when she heard the door open, but then she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was her husband. She said, "I was so scared that you didn't even knock on the door. Which one do you think will fit me?"

Jiang Li stepped forward, hugged her and said, "It's best not to wear it at this time."

Ren Tingting exclaimed, "I haven't taken a shower yet!"

Jiang Li grinned and said, "Wash later, or you'll waste a bucket of hot water."

As he said this, he pushed the shy Ren Tingting down on the bed, and then began a 25,000-word restricted story.

...

The next day, just after dawn, someone knocked on the door. Jiang Li woke up and got dressed. The knock on the door also woke up Ren Tingting. Jiang Li said a few words of comfort to her and then got up and walked out of the room.
