Chapter 2244 2246 [Lei Laowu]
The next few days, nothing happened.
Xiang Nan works at the inn during the day, and asks Xiucai to teach him to read and write when he has free time.
In fact, Xiang Nan knew how to write, and he was much better than Lu Xiucai when it came to poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But Li Dazui couldn't read, and his pole was lying on the ground, so he didn't know how to read one, so he suddenly became a literary giant, learned a lot, and made a lot of money. Anyone can see that it is not appropriate.
So he can only pretend to be illiterate, starting from the Three Character Classic, Hundred Surnames, and Thousand Character Literature.
"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Similar in nature, but far away in habit. If you don't teach, your nature will change. The way to teach is to specialize..." Xiang Nan recited while holding the book, shaking his head.
"Big mouth, that's fine, you've only learned the book for a few days, and you already know how to recite the Three Character Classic." Guo Furong couldn't help but said in amazement when she saw that Xiang Nan had memorized the words correctly and fluently, without stuttering a single word. .
"Because I want to cherish the learning opportunity now. I wanted to study before, but my family had no money. Now I finally have some money, so of course I can't slack off anymore." Xiang Nan explained.
"Big mouth said yes, let us give him an extremely warm applause." Tong Xiangyu clapped his hands and smiled when he heard it, "Xiao Bei, you have to learn from Big mouth uncle in the future, don't be lazy."
"Understood, sister-in-law." Mo Xiaobei nodded.
…
In addition to reading and practicing calligraphy, Xiang Nan did not forget to practice kung fu.
Jingtao Palm, Flame Knife, Flick of Fingers, Widow's Sword Technique, every martial art requires accumulated practice in order to achieve the state of being free-wheeling and integrated.
Therefore, he must practice every night when he goes home, regardless of the wind and rain, and the cold and heat will not stop.
Every hard work is rewarded. With his hard work, martial arts has naturally improved significantly.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about the flame knife, he has already practiced to the third floor. Under luck, his hands were as hot as a soldering iron. If you put it in a basin of cold water, you can get a basin of boiling water in a short while.
Such martial arts can be called divine skills.
Seeing that Xiang Nan has practiced the flame knife to the third level in just one month, Yang Huilan can't help but admire him even more.
It took her more than two years to obtain the secret book of "Flame Knife", and she worked hard day and night to reach the second floor. In comparison, Xiang Nan really deserves to be a martial arts prodigy.
…
In terms of life, there are now six servant girls in Xiang Nan's family.
Among them, four servant girls serve Da Zui Niang. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and Lazard, the service is careful and thoughtful.
Big Mouth Girl is naturally very satisfied.
She never dreamed that her son would be so promising that she would be able to live a good life when she was old.
Two maidservants serve Yang Huilan, namely Sai Diaochan and Xiaocui.
Yang Huilan specially changed the names of the two, Sai Diaochan changed her name to Jixiang, and Xiao Cui changed her name to Ruyi. Every now and then, she would set rules for them, either making them stand or kneeling.
Yang Huilan is smart and ruthless. She doesn't take killing people seriously, and it's natural to take care of two weak women.
In less than half a month, Sai Diaochan and Xiao Cui were taught to be obedient by her. She made her dare not go east and west, and caught the dog without chasing chickens. Even Xiang Nan admired her shrewdness.
…
During this half month period, Tongfu Inn also helped Lao Luo solve the problem of selling chickens.
It is now the largest restaurant in a hundred miles, with as many as six or seven hundred diners coming and going every day. Three hundred chickens may sound like a lot, but it is only enough for three or four days.
So there is no need to hold a chicken king contest at all, diners alone eat all these chickens.
Without the Chicken King Contest, there would be no chicken-stealing cases. Naturally, Xing Datou and Yan Xiaoliu would not engage in eight anti-theft methods. For everyone in Tongfu Inn, it was considered a disaster.
…
In the next few days, Qixia Town and its surrounding areas continued to experience heavy rain.
Heavy rain caused Cuiwei Mountain to collapse, blocking the course of Xiliang River.
The river was blocked, and the sewers of several towns along the coast were also blocked.
The sewer is blocked, and domestic sewage cannot be discharged, so it can only be left to rot and ferment in the town. It made several towns along the coast smelly, filthy and unbearable.
Fortunately, Louzhi County received a donation from Xiang Nan a few days ago, and has more than two thousand taels of silver in hand. Coupled with the donations from many merchants, they finally got together 4,000 taels of silver, and they are organizing people to dredge the river.
However, the river is so blocked that it cannot be cleared in a day or two, so it will still stink for a while.
And because of the bad smell in the town, the business of Tongfu Inn was affected. After all, in such a smelly environment, few people can have a good appetite.
Since no one was eating, Xiang Nan had a lot more time. However, he did not relax, on the contrary, he was busier than before.
Because he wants to capture the tomb robber Lei Laowu.
There is a tomb of King Xin in Taiping Mountain, which is buried in the tomb of King Xin of Ming Dynasty Zhu Youjian.
In the world of "Wulin Biography", there is a big gap between history and reality.
In the history of "Wulin Biography", Qing soldiers did not enter the customs smoothly. In the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army defeated the main force of Houjin and won a decisive victory, strangling the newly rising Houjin in its cradle.
As a result, history has changed, and it is still under the rule of Ming Dynasty today. The emperor was Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, and the Xin Wang Zhu Youjian was his cousin, who was buried in Taiping Mountain after his death.
No one knew he was buried here. Unexpectedly, the continuous heavy rain caused Cuiwei Mountain to collapse, exposing the underground palace of Taiping Mountain, which attracted tomb robbers.
Lei Laowu was born in a family of tomb robbers, and his grandparents and grandchildren have made a living by robbing tombs for generations, so he will definitely come here upon hearing the news.
Once the tomb of King Xin is stolen, it is doomed to shock the government and the public. In the play, Liu Shilang of the Ministry of War, a dignified member of the third rank, personally leads a team to investigate the case, which shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to it.
If the case cannot be solved, then County Magistrate Lou will be in trouble. Ineffective guarding of the royal tomb led to the theft of the royal tomb and the exposure of the bones of the royal descendants to the wilderness. The crime of deceiving the king is absolutely unavoidable.
At that time, it was a trivial matter to be dismissed from office.
Xiang Nan didn't want an accident in Louzhi County, so he had to arrest Lei Lao Wu.
…
Xiang Nan came to Taiping Mountain.
After searching carefully for a while, finally in a tree hole behind the mountain, I saw Lei Laowu digging a stolen hole.
I saw that this robbery hole was only as thick as the mouth of a bowl. Xiang Nan tried it, but he couldn't even put his head in. He had to admire Lei Laowu's bone shrinking skill, which was really a unique skill.
After finding the robbery hole, Xiang Nan made a careful survey and determined that the hole should be dug by Lei Laowu just now.
Because the soil at the entrance of the cave is still new, it doesn’t look like it has been dug out for a few days. And listen carefully along the entrance of the cave, you can even hear the sound of crackling coming from inside, guess it should be Lei Laowu digging.
"Okay, it's better to come early than coincidentally. I just came and waited for the rabbit." Xiang Nan jumped up to the top of the tree, closing his eyes and practicing internal strength, while waiting for Lei Lao Wu to appear.
