Gu Liyue noticed something was going on and said with a look of injustice on her face, "Officer, it was our clothes that were stolen. They replaced our coarse cloth clothes with these two sets that look good but are useless. Look, these clothes have been worn out like this since I carried them in the backpack this morning. They are not durable at all. My original coarse cloth clothes can at least last me through the summer."
The leader took a look and found that it was indeed as Gu Liyue said, but he was hard to explain. These two people were obviously hunters, strong and dark.
But he finally got a clue, and his superiors were pressing him hard, so he refused to give up.
"Where did you change your clothes?"
Nie Hengzhou said, "It's on the mountain outside the city. We just arrived here and didn't have a place to stay. We thought we'd spend the night there, but we didn't expect to be robbed."
The leader thought they were telling the truth and said, "Then come back to the yamen with me and explain everything."
Gu Liyue said with an embarrassed look on her face, "We have other things to do. Look, this dress is worn out. I need to go buy another one."
Gu Liyue looked at him with hesitation and knew that the official didn't insist that they go to the yamen.
She didn't want to go into the yamen. In some places, the people would not fight against the officials, and once you entered the yamen, you would have to suffer a lot before you could get out. She knew nothing about the yamen here and didn't want to take the risk.
She took out two hundred coins and stuffed them into the captain's hand, saying, "This is the prey we just sold. Please have some tea, sir."
Seeing that she was capable of handling matters, the chief weighed the copper coins in his hand and said with a gentle expression, "Since you have matters to attend to, then go ahead. I'll go register at the government office."
Gu Liyue nodded and bowed: "Then I'll trouble you, sir."
After getting the benefits, the team of officers left.
It is easier to get things done if you have money, but Nie Hengzhou is puzzled. Why should he give them money?
But after watching Gu Liyue solve the problem, he just thought about it in his mind.
Then they went to the garment store and bought four sets of coarse cloth clothes, which they changed into. They took two sets back to wash and change, and bought some daily necessities and some rice, flour and grain.
Preparing to leave the city, they discussed as they walked.
"Should we build a cabin in the mountains, or rent a house in a village at the foot of the mountains?"
Gu Liyue analyzed, "Living in a village, we have to interact with people, so we can't act too different and have to integrate into their lives. Living in the mountains, we have to build houses and protect ourselves from wild animals."
Nie Hengzhou said, "Then let's live in the village. It's at least safer."
Gu Liyue said: "Okay."
Just as I finished speaking, I saw the man in front of me. Wasn’t it Lin Dashan?
Does this small world want them to have a connection with this person?
Nie Hengzhou asked, "Brother Lin, are you back in the village?"
Lin Dashan turned and looked at them.
"Yeah, you guys are out of town too?"
Nie Hengzhou said, "Brother Lin, we're looking for a village to live in. How's your village?"
"Sure, our village is not far from the city. Two years ago, some people went to the city to work, and there are some empty houses in the village. I'll talk to the village chief, and you can move in after paying the rent."
Along the way, Lin Dashan told them the basic situation of the village.
The village he lived in was called Linjia Village. Most of the villagers were surnamed Lin, and there were about seventy or eighty households, of which only four were from outside the village. As long as they paid a certain amount of money every year, their village was not very tolerant of outsiders.
Most of the villagers were farmers, and in their spare time they would go up the mountain to dig herbs and hunt game to exchange for money in the city, but they generally didn't hunt large game.
Gu Liyue looked at the yard and then at the silver in her hand. She had spent some of the money in the city to buy some miscellaneous things, which were not cheap at all. She had spent three taels of silver.
When he arrived at the home of the village chief of Linjia Village, he gave four taels of silver as living expenses for half a year, and rented this courtyard, which cost two taels of silver for half a year.
Gu Liyue thought about it and felt that the rent was not cheap. She originally wanted to rent it for three months, but the village chief did not allow it, saying that the shortest rent must be six months, and that the short-term rental fee would be higher.
Gu Liyue looked at Lin Dashan and nodded to her, so she had no choice but to rent it.
After selling the tiger for thirty-four taels of silver, he spent more than nine taels. Looking at the empty yard, there were three main rooms, a main hall in the middle, two rooms on both sides that could be used as bedrooms, and a side room on the east side that could be used as a kitchen.
The yard is small and surrounded by a bamboo fence. The bathroom is built behind the house, and there is also a small plot of land where you can grow some vegetables.
Gu Liyue felt that although the yard was small, all the necessary spaces were arranged except for the furniture.
Seeing that it was getting dark again, Gu Liyue entered the kitchen and saw that there was still a small pile of firewood inside, but no pot. Fortunately, she bought some pots and pans in the city, which she could use right away.
In the life of a mortal, we need to eat, sleep, and there are always some trivial things to do.
Nie Hengzhou knew nothing about these things as he had never been in the mortal world.
There is no furniture in the house and I don’t know where to sleep at night.
Gu Liyue called him into the kitchen and asked him to help light the fire.
He was a weapon cultivator, so making fire was not a problem for him, but he couldn't use spiritual power, so he was a little unfamiliar with it at first.
She stir-fried the washed vegetables and meat, steamed some rice, and made some soup to get by with dinner.
Looking at the empty bedroom, Gu Liyue was also worried. There was an unused bed in her space, but she didn't dare to take it out. If Sang Lin saw it, the space would be exposed.
Fortunately, it is summer and not cold. They decided to just stay there for one night and think of a solution tomorrow.
The next day, Gu Liyue heard Nie Hengzhou say that he could go to the mountains to find some wood and make some furniture, but it would be a bit time-consuming and laborious, and he would also have to buy some tools and go to the city again.
So the two of them went into the city again.
Gu Liyue stopped by a furniture shop to ask and found out that they didn't have any ready-made items for sale. They mostly accepted pre-orders, made the products, and then delivered them to customers.
After asking, I found out that their empty yard would require two beds, two wardrobes, tables, chairs, benches, and a dining table and chairs, which would cost at least eight taels of silver.
Gu Liyue was shocked. The main reason was that the product was out of stock. It would be better to let Nie Hengzhou do it.
The two of them had no choice but to buy the tools for making furniture and two buckets for carrying water. Fortunately, there was a water tank in the yard, so they didn't need to buy any, otherwise they wouldn't know how to move it back.
After returning from the city, they ate some meat buns they had bought there, then went to the mountains, found a big tree, cut it down and dragged it home. While Nie Hengzhou was busy at home, Gu Liyue picked up a shoulder pole and carried two buckets to fetch water from the village well.
It took two trips before the water tank was full.
Gu Liyue was also exhausted and out of breath. Seeing that Nie Hengzhou was doing it very well, he started by making a bed.
