After a quarter of an hour, the blacksmith prepared the iron leaves. Li Bochen asked him how much money he should give, but he said, "Look at it and give it."

This man has a weird temper. Because he really said something useful, Li Bochen gave him ten coins - he only used ten coins to beat the iron leaves.

But Yu Meng didn't say anything, pulled the money into the money basket, grabbed the handkerchief hanging on the wall and wiped his face, and lay back, not seeming to care about this.

The two went out to lead the horse and walked slowly along the road. Li Bochen thought for a while and said, "This person is nothing, but it's not simple either."

Lin Qiao said: "Because the one in the north is Jinghu Mountain."

Li Bochen looked over there and saw a mountain in the mountains that stretched out in a particularly majestic, with a slight white light shining at the foot of the mountain. Those white lights should be reflected by the sun in the water waves, perhaps it is Jinghu Lake. Next to Jinghu Lake, it is naturally Jinghu Mountain.

He thought about it and understood what Lin Qiao was going to say, and then smiled and said, "That's right. It's naturally not too easy to stay in such a place and live like this at this time."

After saying this, he looked at Lin Qiao and smiled in his heart. Originally, he liked Lin Qiao's gentleness, but there was a sense of strength hidden in his temperament. But after getting along these days, he found that she was really considerate. There were many things he didn't expect for a while, and she would mention them. But when he spoke, he was just like before, saying half of what he said, not only to think about it, but not to make him feel faceless.

In fact, he didn't care about face or anything like that, especially with her. But when she did this, Li Bochen was naturally moved and felt more pity for her.

The two walked along the street for a while and soon reached the end. The shops on both sides were gone, but there were fields and houses in their homes. Perhaps because there were many tourists coming and going in recent months, people on the road often looked them up and down, and they did not look as surprised as he had thought before.

This place is really a vibrant scene, and it is rare even in Sui State. Li Bochen was wondering in his heart, thinking that he had misunderstood Zhu Yi? Can that person kill people and cure people?

The two walked along the road for a while and saw what the blacksmith said from a distance. There was indeed an old poplar tree on the slope. I don’t know how many years have passed, and five or six people hugged each other in a thick and thin manner, and the crown was like a big umbrella. There were four courtyards on the slope, spreading high and low. One of them was wafting smoke, and it should be someone. "Manta Meng"'s house is there.

They walked up the slope along the road and walked to the gate of the courtyard under the tree. They saw the black lacquer gate half open, and there were children chasing and playing inside.

Li Bochen walked up to pat the beast's door knocker and whispered: "Is it Meng's house?"

The voice of the child in the yard disappeared suddenly. Soon, a boy quickly looked behind the door, glanced at him, and then retracted. Then he heard the child running in while shouting "pig" and other words.

But a girl's head also poked out from behind the door and looked at Li Bochen. The girl was wearing a drooping bun, a little older than the boy before, so she should be two siblings. But the sister didn't take a look like her brother and ran away. Instead, she poked out half of her body and said, "What's the matter with the guest looking for her mother?"

Looking at her drooping bun, she must be only six or seven years old. But she speaks clearly and is not afraid of people. She is really cute and bold.

Li Bochen smiled and said, "Are you Miss Meng? Is your mother at home?"

The girl was called a lady by an adult for the first time, and she suddenly became reserved, but her face couldn't hide her joy, which made Li Bochen and Lin Qiao laugh. She moved her body out from behind the door, and said like a little adult: "My mother is here. Guests... Please come in first to use tea-"

Speaking of this, I heard a woman in the yard say, "Xiaoman, who are you talking to?"

As soon as the girl heard this, she immediately shrank back.

Li Bochen stepped down the steps, and immediately saw the gate of the courtyard being pushed open, and a woman in a blue jacket and plain skirt walked out. The woman was dressed in plain clothes, had a fair face, and looked pretty. She looked at her thirties and looked very dignified. When she saw Li Bochen, she spoke, "What are you?"

Li Bochen bowed and said, "I am Chen Boli, this is my inner friend. Are you Miss Meng?"

The woman looked at the two people and the two horses again, laughed and said, "I am."

Li Bochen said: "I heard from the blacksmith in the market town that he wanted to find a house and could find Madam Meng, so he came to disturb me."

"Oh..." Madam Meng looked at him again, thought for a while, and smiled, "It's easy to say, sit here and talk."

She said as she walked down the steps and led the two of them under the tree. The old poplar tree was cleaned up very clean, and a piece of bluestone was placed, and a few smaller pieces of stone benches were built. It must have been a long time since the bottom was covered with moss, which was quite ancient.

Although this place is not bad, it is a bit rude to lead the guests here but not to call them in. However, Li Bochen felt that the woman was also a little thoughtful. She should think that her origin was unknown, so she naturally could not bring her into the door.

This place was occupied by Zhu Hou. The blacksmith Yu Meng said that most of the empty houses were occupied by the Green Forest Heroes, but her family still had a house to rent, so it was not a simple person.

He led the two horses to the stake next to the door and tied them up, walked to the stone table with Lin Qiao and sat down.

Madam Meng also sat down and said with a smile: "Don't blame me for not having a single bite of water here. I'm really too busy to be busy. The one who works in the general's place, and I'm the only one in charge of the family, and I'm carrying two little treasures. It's really impossible."

Li Bochen said: "Sister, don't bother. We have eaten and drunk in the market town and are not thirsty. I'm sorry, I'll tell you if we two want to stay here, are there any good places to live?"

Madam Meng thought for a while and said, "Do you two want to stay for a long time? Or just stay for the time being? But come to join the general?"

Li Bochen said: "I want to live for a long time. I... I'm going to hide it. We escaped from the two of us. We offended people in our hometown and couldn't stay. We planned to live in a different place. We didn't want to join the general, but we heard that there were few bandits in this area and their lives were peaceful, so we planned to settle down."

When Madam Meng heard this, she seemed worried and said, "Escape? Oh, you two, like a pair of beautiful women, did you offend someone to fall into this field?"

Looking at Lin Qiao again: "I think I should be from a big mansion. I have suffered a lot along the way, and I feel distressed."

Li Bochen smiled and said, "In fact, it's not a big deal. He offended the government in his hometown. The Weiren occupied the place where I was in my hometown."

Madam Meng said, "Oh——oh, that's good. Offending the government is not a big deal, but offending the talents in the martial arts world are troublesome. Maybe you stay here and they chase after you."

I thought about it again: "Then tell me what kind of house I want?"

She finally finished her questioning. Li Bochen also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not too big, just live in a person. It's best to have a well in the yard to get water. We brought horses and stables. Others... the kitchen is best to be next to the main house, and it's best to be in the ear room."

When he said this, Madam Meng laughed and said, "After all, the young master of a wealthy family is used to enjoying it. They are all very particular. Is such a house a little hard to find..."

When Li Bochen heard her say this, he felt relieved and planned to say goodbye. He did want to ask Mrs. Meng to find a house, but when he met her, he knew that this woman was very smart and was not an ordinary village woman at all. If she had rented a residence in her hands, she might have been inquiring about her movements from time to time. It would be very troublesome if she was not a villain.

There is a way to make her feel at ease, that is, to buy the house. But now he only has 3,000 yuan to buy a good one, but it is not enough to buy a good one. If you buy a bad one, it may not be comfortable to live here. It is really distressing. The Jintai in that world looks real, but can he still pry the corners and bring them out?

But I heard Madam Meng say, "...but by chance, I really have one here."

She stood up and pointed back and said, "Look at that house, it turned out to be my cousin's uncle. Now everyone is so angry that I have been there for more than ten years. When my house has nothing to do, I often go to clean up and it is not abandoned."

Li Bochen looked at where she pointed and saw that the courtyard was still on the slope. It looked like a house that had entered, with the green tiles and white walls very beautiful. There were some wintersweet trees beside the courtyard, and the flowers had all fallen and the green leaves were newly blooming. There was a small vegetable field outside the wall, covered with sparse wooden fences. Next to the vegetable field was a large pear tree. The flowers were blooming just in time, and the trees were snow-white. Large small petals fell under the tree, covering it like snow.

Li Bochen fell in love with him almost at first sight. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't move his feet anymore. Seeing him like this, Miss Meng smiled and said, "Do you want to go and take a look?"

Li Bochen said: "Okay."

The three of them got up and walked up the road.

Lin Qiao had never spoken, but when she was walking on the road, she spoke: "Sister, is there a school nearby?"

Madam Meng said, "What? Do you have children too?"

Lin Qiao said: "Maybe it will be there this year."

Li Bochen was stunned for a moment, but then realized what she wanted to ask, so he didn't speak.

Madam Meng smiled and said, "Then I'm asking. There is an old man here, whose surname is Chang, whose single name is Xiu, have you heard of it?"

Lin Qiao said: "Huh? Why does it sound familiar?"

Li Bochen interjected: "Is it... the Chang Shaoqing from Taichang Temple in the past?"

Mr. Meng said, "Yes. Mr. Chang's ancestral home is here, otherwise how can I say it's a coincidence? Look, the one in front is your house. Further up, the one who entered the three times is the Chang family - it was also ours. They moved here and bought it."

"The Chang family lives in it, and they really set up a school in the downcast room to teach you to learn to read. In the future, you will have children, so you will send them there."

What Madam Meng said was that it was a big mansion on the top of the hillside, which was more than a hundred steps away from the one Li Bochen was going to see. He was happy and thought that he was so lucky and that Xiaoman was really smart. If he really lived here, it would be much more convenient to do things.

Lin Qiao took his arm and said happily: "This is so good. Boli, let's live here. I like it here and don't want to leave anymore."

Li Bochen smiled and said, "Okay, if you like it, we will stay."

Seeing the two of them, Meng said, "It's so enviable for a pair made of heaven and earth. When I was like my girl, that person didn't love me so much. Girl, you're following the right person."

Lin Qiaoxiao said, "Look at what you said, sister."

After saying this, she let go of Li Bochen's hand and walked to Meng's side to talk to her. She deserves to have experienced many years of experience and only talked for three or four sentences. The two women looked like good sisters for many years. While Li Bochen walked and listened to their words, he knew that Meng's husband was also named Meng and Peiyong, and they were both close together.

The Meng family was originally a large family in Mengjiatun, and some people were officials before. However, after the national change of more than ten years ago, the ancestors died in the country, and the population withered, and they suddenly declined. But the misfortune was the only one of them, and the ancestral property was passed to them.

Meng Peiyong learned some skills of mechanisms when he was young, but after Zhu Hou occupied this place, he was jealous of the arts elsewhere, so he also made a group of people do "arts". Meng Peiyong therefore went to Jinghu Mountain and became the owner of the museum.

Li Bochen thought to himself that the people here rely on Zhu Hou to live. I really don’t know who he is. He has this atmosphere in just a few months. Could it be... the one who was walking with Ye Lu was secretly manipulating it?

When they entered the house and entered the yard, Li Bochen saw that the ground in the yard was covered with blue bricks. There was a main room, two ear rooms, an east wing room to the east, and a stable to the west. There was a well in the yard, and there were two rooms in the yard, which could be used as a warehouse and a residence for servants.

The house is not big, but not small. It is not crowded with a family of five people, and two more servants are added. The yard is also very spacious, and he can practice swords and boxing. He looked at the wood carvings on the eaves of the corridor, neatly black tiles, and a bluestone well in front of the Donger room, and said, "Sister, how much does it cost if I buy this yard?"

Madam Meng smiled and said, "Is that settled? Well, men like to be happy when doing things, so the elder sister is happy too - it's enough for 4,000 yuan. This well has not been used for many years, and there are dust and leaves accumulated inside. I will ask someone to take a look at the well and tidy up the roof, so that you can save trouble and move in."

Li Bochen was stunned, but he didn't expect that it would only cost 4,000 yuan - he originally thought he would get 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. He just asked because he liked it and wanted to ask Mrs. Meng to feel that he was sincerely going to settle down, so he asked. The price really made him feel itchy, so he thought that it was already more than 3,000 yuan. If he saved it on the road... and followed Qin Le's words and received the reward, wouldn't he really be able to get it!

He sighed in his heart, thinking about how to say that he only rents it and doesn't buy it, but Lin Qiao said, "Where are you talking about things like this? Go and go around the house, I will tell my elder sister."

Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Okay, I'm not annoying here, you guys talk about it slowly."

Madam Meng laughed and he hurried into the house.
