Farming and reading family

When Xu Boyan heard Gao E ask this, he also laughed. It seemed that she was waiting for him to talk about the Ghost Crying Mountain.

Gao E stood up and walked to the thatched pavilion. Xu Boyan followed her and told her about the situation in Ghost Crying Mountain.

"Judging from the current situation, everyone who was on Ghost Mountain at that time should be dead," Xu Boyan speculated.

Gao E didn't care whether others lived or died, as long as the one named Qu died.

"What about Huo Xing?" Gao E suddenly thought of this person.

"He probably ran away." Xu Boyan guessed.

He had not returned to the county government office since returning from Ghost Crying Mountain, but Huo Xing was so frightened at that time that he certainly did not dare to stay in He County.

"Run away?" Gao E didn't quite understand what running away meant.

"Although I don't know what purpose those people from Qu Zhonglai had in going to Ghost Mountain, but they are all dead. Huo Xing can't escape responsibility, so he can only run away." Xu Boyan explained.

"Then the prince won't cause trouble for him?" Gao E thought things could be so simple?

"First, the prince must be able to find him."

Gao E suddenly realized that it was too easy to hide in this era.

"Then..." Gao E was unsure, "Can I still buy back Ghost Crying Mountain?"

Ghost Crying Mountain is different from the coal mine. Even if the strange stones on it are valuable, they are just toys for the powerful and wealthy, and the imperial court has no restrictions.

"We need to determine who actually owns Ghost Crying Mountain. If it's in Qu Zhonglai's hands, and he dies, there's no one to inherit it, and then it's taken back by the imperial court, you can buy it again," Xu Boyan explained.

Gao E feels that this cycle is quite long.

"But..." Xu Boyan smiled slyly, "The mountain is dead. If you move something on it, no one will hold you accountable. It's yours."

Gao E instantly understood what Xu Boyan meant.

Besides, the land around Ghost Crying Mountain now belongs to her, so it would be very easy for her to take anything from Ghost Crying Mountain.

"By the way, it seems that the strange rocks there only have a surface layer. You can go and take a look." Xu Boyan suddenly thought of this.

"Okay." Gao E nodded.

After they finished talking, it was already completely dark. Xu Boyan rode back to Hui County on horseback. He had to go to Qinzhou City as soon as possible to discuss the coal mine matter, otherwise he would have to return to Beijing as soon as the document for reporting on his work came down.

It was a good thing for Gao E that those people died completely at the end of the song. She planned to find some time to go and take a look and secretly transport some of the stones away.

We need to wait until Xu Boyan confirms this matter first. It would be bad if we get caught in the act.

Ji Wuyang recuperated at the Chen family and gradually learned about the family's situation. However, as a farmer, he seemed to have done a lot of things.

Chu Rong was very depressed after the trip, but he was happy when he saw Ji Wuyang when he came back. Every day, apart from teaching his two apprentices, he would follow Xing Jia to see Ji Wuyang.

"Uncle Chu, what is the origin of the Chen family?" Ji Wuyang asked in a low voice when he saw that Doctor Xing was not there.

"I don't have any background. My ancestors were laborers who built the dam. They have suddenly become prosperous in the past two years." Chu Rong looked at Ji Wuyang. "The Chen family is honest. Don't have any bad intentions."

Ji Wuyang looked at Uncle Chu. He actually said that the Chen family was honest?

Is it really possible for a person to do such a thing as to blow someone up to pieces?

He did put some thought into it.

He witnessed the power of the explosion at Ghost Crying Mountain with his own eyes. The key point was that no one lit the explosives at that time, which means that they had the ability to control when the gunpowder would explode.

If we use this gunpowder to attack Shuoxi...

When he was born, his grandfather was fighting against the barbarians in Shuoxi.

When I grew up, my father was fighting against the barbarians in Shuoxi.

He had witnessed the cruelty of the barbarians with his own eyes and was determined to ensure that Shuoxi would never invade Dachang again.

Unfortunately, before he had the chance to realize his ambitions, he was framed and his entire family was executed.

Thinking of these, Ji Wuyang wondered what the rise and fall of Dachang had to do with him...

Chu Rong looked at Ji Wuyang in silence: "Listen to your uncle. Since you are alive, live well. We can't let your Ji family be cut off. We really can't handle the affairs of the court."

Ji Wuyang was silent.

Since he survived, he naturally didn't want to just live.

Gao E was walking around in the yard and smiled when she saw Chu Rong coming out.

Chu Rong saw that Gao E seemed to have something to ask him: "Thanks to my sister's medicine, Wuyang was able to recover so quickly."

"He's young and in good health," Gao E said with a smile, "so he can go live in the cave, right?"

Chu Rong wanted Ji Wuyang to stay here for a while longer: "How about letting him stay at my place first?"

"I think Wei Kai and his son live quite well over there and should be able to take care of him," Gao E suggested.

Chu Rong hesitated for a moment: "To be honest, I don't want to live in the mountains at such a young age, and he doesn't want to live in the mountains either."

Gao E thought it was his business whether he wanted to live in the mountains or not, as long as he didn't live with her.

She wanted to help Ji Wuyang, but only to save his life, not to help him get revenge or something, after all, she was also a clay Buddha crossing the river.

"Brother Chu, my whole family..." Gao E was embarrassed.

Chu Rong nodded: "Okay, I'll think about it."

"Okay." Gao E didn't want to say anything too decisive.

Ji Wuyang heard their conversation in the house and was not angry that Gao E didn't want to keep him.

He was already very grateful that Gao E had saved him, and his current situation would indeed cause trouble for others.

When he felt a little better, he walked around in the Chen family's yard and saw Lu Qingluo practicing Tai Chi in the backyard. He pulled a chair and sat there watching, not knowing when Chu Rong came.

"Uncle Chu?" Ji Wuyang was startled.

"Have you figured out anything?" Chu Rong asked with a smile.

"If this move is paired with a left shield and a right sword, the lethality will be doubled." Ji Wuyang said directly.

Chu Rong nodded: "As expected of General Ji's son."

"And with training, they can even attack the cavalry formation." Ji Wuyang was very sure.

Chu Rong sighed: "What a pity, for the people here, it can only strengthen their bodies."

"Uncle Chu, are you willing to stay here for the rest of your life?" Ji Wuyang was puzzled.

"It's so nice here." Chu Rong thought Ji Wuyang was just too young. "Why are we fighting? Isn't it just to live in peace and prosperity?"

Ji Wuyang was puzzled. He had a great grudge: "Who created this boxing technique?"

"Mrs. Chen, I don't know where you learned it from." Chu Rong really didn't know. "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"Okay." Ji Wuyang naturally wanted to learn.

The two men loosened their muscles a little and began to teach.

Lu Qingluo was practicing well, but when she saw Ji Wuyang was still injured and he was practicing well after just one try, she was so angry that she left.

"What's wrong?" Gao E took Xiao Wu to warm himself by the fire.

Lu Qingluo thought about it seriously and looked at Gao E: "Is your Tai Chi good enough to defeat me?"

Gao E was baffled by what she heard. It was the first time she had heard of someone being defeated by boxing. “Impossible,” she said.

"Then why can others practice it well after just one try, but I've been practicing for so long and the more I practice, the more awkward it becomes." Lu Qingluo looked at Gao E suspiciously.

She suspected that if she continued to practice like this, her martial arts skills would deteriorate instead of improve.
