Just when I was about to relax, Brother He sent a message to Su Chen, saying that the wall had been closed. He asked me when I could go over to take a look. The foundation of the mansion could be laid now. I was looking for an auspicious day to start the construction.

Now that I think about it, it has been a while since I last went there. I have to go and take a look before I go to wash.

I took a horse-drawn carriage to the village and looked at the place where I built my house. There was a blue brick wall with a row of houses on both sides, which were higher than the wall. I opened a side door for vehicles to enter and exit, and the back door was close to the mountain, which was the road we used to go to the mountain. It was very convenient to go into the mountain, and I was very satisfied.

After more than a year of hard work, it has not been easy to get to where we are today.

The gate has not been installed yet. Looking from the outside, it is still an empty space.

Brother He was busy, and when he heard me calling him, he hurried over with a book.

When I looked at it, I realized it was the almanac used to calculate dates in the future.

Brother He: "Sister, come here, what day do you think is best for starting the construction of the mansion?"

I don’t understand about choosing an auspicious day, so I’d better ask Brother He, they do it often.

I didn’t intend to pretend to know something: “Brother He, you are an expert in this, please help me choose a date!”

Brother He took out the almanac, flipped it open, looked at it, and calculated again. He said that the most suitable day would be in two days, and it would be auspicious and auspicious. He asked me, how about setting it on this day?

I agreed to it right away, and agreed that I would bring the items for the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow. I would let Brother He prepare the rest by himself, and he would just have to reimburse me when the time came.

Brother He said that the construction of the main house was more particular than that of the houses beside it. The main structure of the house could only be built after the sacrifice and the frame of the gate had been installed.

The frame of the gate has been completed, but has not been painted yet. It is placed inside the finished house. The day after tomorrow, after the sacrifice, it will be moved out and installed. The construction of the mansion can officially begin.

I was filled with joy as the construction of the big house I had longed for was finally about to begin.

The next day, early in the morning, I bought all the sacrificial animals, tribute fruits, melons, and firecrackers on the street.

On the morning of the day when construction started, I rushed to the village early in the morning before dawn.

It was a bit foggy in the morning, visibility was not very good, and the carriage was moving very slowly. After leaving the town, we had to go through a forest. The trees in the forest blocked the light and it seemed even darker.

The wind blowing through the forest brought with it a faint smell of something unusual. It became stronger and stronger.

Su Chen suddenly pulled the reins of the carriage and stopped it: "There seems to be someone on the side of the road."

I was a little nervous: "Who is it?"

Su Chen: "I can't see clearly, it seems to be dressed in black."

Me: “Go down and take a look.”

I pushed open the door of the carriage and jumped out. I followed the smell of blood to a stone on the side of the road.

A man in black was lying quietly on the ground, and we didn't know whether he was dead or alive. He must have been injured. The smell of blood came from his body. He didn't respond when he heard us talking, so he must have fainted.

"Manager Su, please give me a hand and bandage it first and put it in the carriage. If no one takes care of it, its blood will probably run out."

I returned to the carriage and took out the wound medicine that I usually prepared for the workers who were laying the foundation. I also found a few clean cloths. Su Chen helped the man in black up from the ground. He exposed the wounds on his legs and hands so that I could apply the wound medicine.

After pouring a few boxes of medicine, the bleeding finally stopped. I lowered my head and tied it up with strips of cloth.

Just as I finished tying him up, the man in black suddenly woke up and grabbed my neck with one hand. Then he fell down helplessly.

I looked up and saw only a pair of wolf-like eyes.

This girl is ungrateful and is ready to strangle me to death.

Me: "Are you going to repay kindness with hatred? I helped you apply medicine and bandage your wound, but you actually pinched me. Is this how you treat your lifesaver?"

"Thank you, I will repay you." After saying that, he fainted again.

I wanted to kick him twice, but then I thought better of it. If I left him here, he would be unconscious and if something happened to him, he would probably die. Let him stay in the carriage for a while, and let him go after he wakes up and asks me about everything.

They carried him into the carriage with Su Chen, asked Su Chen to change his clothes, and then laid him down on the carriage floor.

I stood under the carriage waiting. Soon, Su Chen placed a sign made of something unknown and his changed clothes in front of me.

I picked up the sign and saw that it had the seventh day of the first lunar month engraved on it. I thought about it and wrapped the sign and the clothes I had taken off in a piece of cloth and threw them aside. They were too dirty. When he wakes up and asks about them, I might as well burn them in the fire if they are of no use to him!

At this time, it started to rain. We didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly drove the carriage away. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The traces of the wheels disappeared without a trace in the rain.

When we were almost at the village, the rain suddenly stopped, and the sun shyly climbed up the mountain from the other side of the mountain, shining beautifully on the whole mountain village. Smoke rose from the villagers' houses from time to time, and the air after the rain was filled with a wet scent of trees.

"Chu-qiu-qiu-qiu, cuckoo-cucub, cuckoo-cucub, happy, happy" the calls of various birds in the woods rise and fall continuously, adding a lively and happy atmosphere to the quiet villa.

The carriage entered the round wall from the side door. The eldest and second aunts got up very early and were busy on the far side of the city wall. I didn't know what they were doing, but I saw two figures moving.

I didn't call them. I found an empty house nearby, used stools and wooden boards to make a simple bed, and spread the quilt I used to rest in the carriage on it. I asked Su Chen and the other two to move the man in black in and put him on the bed. I put the water in the carriage and the cakes I usually used to fill my stomach beside the bed. The clothes that the man in black had changed out of were also placed at the corner of the bed.

The man in black woke up dazedly after being tortured by us, and looked at me and Su Chen. He let us put him on the bed, closed his eyes, and seemed to fall asleep again.

I told him that there was water and food nearby, and he could eat if he was hungry. I closed the door and walked out with Su Chen.

Su Chen looked at me, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally couldn't help but say, "Boss. This person has an unknown origin. Will he cause trouble?"

I looked at Su Chen deeply and said, "We haven't seen anyone."

Su Chen understood and said seriously: "Boss, we came all the way here from the town today. We encountered heavy rain and did not stop. We did not see anything and did not encounter anything."

Me: "Yeah, yeah, Shopkeeper Su, thank you for your hard work."

After saying this, they smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
