Traveling to another world and becoming a local owner

After leaving the cowshed, Zhang Ling went to the backyard to find Cao Shuan. The situation was still unclear, and Wu Derong would definitely make some follow-up moves, so he had to be fully prepared.

"Young Master, you're here!" When Cao Shuan saw Zhang Ling coming, he quickly put down what he was doing.

"Well, you must have worked hard these days! How much do you think you can produce in these two days?" Zhang Ling greeted briefly and asked directly.

"What are you talking about, young master? For me, the quiver and handle of the crossbow are the most difficult to make. The other spear handles and wooden poles for arrows are very easy. As long as the wood is available, I can have as much as you want." Cao Shuan knew that time was a bit tight, so he answered without thinking.

"Okay, it's too hard for one person. A group of strong men will be sent over tomorrow morning. You can pick a few helpers then!"

"Okay, Master!"

After Zhang Ling gave his instructions, he asked Daniu and Li Liulang to arrange people to assemble the weapons. At night, he would send two people in a group to take turns on duty.

It was already late when Zhang Ling returned to the room. Xin'er heard the noise and immediately ran to find him.

"Master, I heard that Wu Derong sent someone to Miss Ye's house?"

"Well, they wanted Ye Qingmei's family to act as lobbyists, but when they failed to achieve their goal, they wanted to kidnap people. Fortunately, we arrived in time." Zhang Ling nodded, then walked into the room and briefly summarized what happened.

"Master, you didn't do anything out of line, did you?" Xin'er was shocked and asked hurriedly.

"No, I still need some time, so I just shot the man in the thigh and let them go."

"Well, if Wu Derong is still determined to steal, he will definitely send someone to rob next time." Xin'er nodded and said without dwelling on the matter any further.

"You mean, bandits?" Zhang Ling frowned and asked.

"Yeah!" Xin'er's face was as dark as water, and she responded softly...

Inside Derong Commercial Bank in Huaiyin County, Wu Derong threw the teacup to the ground in anger.

"You mean, not only did his father-in-law and his family disagree, but they also drove you out with a carrying pole?"

"Yes, Master Wu, finally Zhang Ling also came, and shot an arrow at me without any explanation. Look at my leg, it's all because of him." The wretched man knelt on the ground with a look of grievance on his face, not daring to breathe, and did not mention anything about his intention to kidnap someone.

"Humph, didn't you say you were my man?" Wu Derong slammed the tea table and said angrily.

"I did say it, but that kid said something wild, saying that even if you, Mr. Wu, went there, he, he..." The wretched man hesitated and deliberately did not continue.

"What does he want to do if I go there?" Wu Derong frowned and asked loudly.

"I dare not say!"

"Tell me, I won't blame you."

"That kid said that even if you, Master Wu, were there, he would still beat you up." The wretched man lowered his head, a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Humph, this is outrageous. I sent someone to give him money with good intentions in an attempt to persuade him, but this arrogant boy actually dared to humiliate me!" Wu Derong was furious when he heard this and kicked the tea table in front of him to the ground.

He remained silent, and after calming down a little, he said, "Take your men to Black Cliff Village and bring Wu Da Nao to me immediately!"

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Upon hearing this, the wretched man rolled and crawled out.

A silent night passed and the sun rose.

Early the next morning, Manager Yang brought seventy-six young and strong men.

Xia Wenshan has done his best, and most of the people he bought are of strong physique.

Wei Da was very happy about this and immediately picked 39 people. Fu Sheng also kept four strong men, and Cao Shuan picked two who looked smarter.

Since there was no place to live at home, Zhang Ling had to arrange for the remaining people to work on the construction site.

Wei Da happily led his men to the back mountain to intensify training. Together with the previous 21 people, he now had a total of 60 people. Every 20 people were divided into a team, and they were organized into three groups according to the organization of the military scout team, led by Wei Da, Xu Chang, and Huang San respectively.

With help from their companions, Fusheng and Cao Shuan worked day and night to make broadswords, spears, crossbows and arrows.

After two days of peace and tranquility, something unexpected happened, breaking the tranquility of the small mountain village...

Under an old tree near the brick kiln in the northwest of the village, Li Sanshui was chatting with a few villagers who were resting.

"Old Li, my nephew is definitely not wrong. That group of people are bandits. They are dressed in dirty clothes and have fierce eyes. There are thirty or forty of them. They are barbecuing and eating by the creek at Laohuling!" An old man cracked melon seeds and said leisurely to the people around him.

"Didn't the bandits in the past go down the mountain after the autumn harvest?" Li Sanshui was puzzled when he heard this, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

"Hey, you don't know this, right? The weather has been good in the past two years, and more and more people are doing business. They are definitely not coming here to steal food. They are probably targeting some wealthy family in Pinghe Township!" Another villager interrupted, thinking that his analysis made sense and seemed a little proud.

"Rich family? Do you think they are coming for our Wangshan Village?" Li Sanshui suddenly had a bad feeling and asked quickly.

"Tsk, our village is extremely poor in the surrounding area, how could they possibly come here?" the villager immediately sneered.

"Yes, we are extremely poor, but the Zhang family has made a lot of money during this period! They bought land and built houses. I heard that they bought a lot of servants and maids." Another villager also expressed his thoughts at the right time.

"Yeah! Then I think it's very likely..."

Li Sanshui listened to their convincing arguments and became more and more worried. Not to mention that his son Daniu lived in Zhang's house every day, Zhang's mother and his deceased old boss had always treated him very well in the past.

He said no more and hurried towards Zhang's house.

Zhang Ling was watching Fusheng and others forging iron in the cowshed outside the yard. He happened to see Li Sanshui running home in a hurry, so he hurried forward to say hello.

"Uncle Li, why are you here? Are you looking for Daniu?" Zhang Ling saw that he was a little anxious and asked hurriedly.

"No, Xiao Ling, I'm here to find you!" Li Sanshui took a breath and said hurriedly.

"Looking for me? What's wrong, Uncle Li?" Zhang Ling was puzzled, so he asked immediately.

"I was just at the kiln, and heard from the villagers that a group of bandits came from Heihu Ridge, about thirty or forty of them. They are expected to come down today. It's not the autumn harvest time yet, and they must be targeting some wealthy family. You have to be careful. People in the surrounding area say that you have made a lot of money recently!" Li Sanshui looked worried and told everything he knew.

"The bandits are coming? Okay, I understand, Uncle Li. Thank you for making you make a special trip!" Zhang Ling nodded and said politely.

"Why are you being so polite to me, kid? Pay more attention. I'm going back to work in the kiln first!"

"Okay Uncle Li, come to my house when you have time!"

After Li Sanshui left, the smile on Zhang Ling's face disappeared instantly, and a chill suddenly surged into his heart.
