Chapter 476 Buying a House
Xiaoxuan said: "What I mean is that you should give in to her and take good care of her at all times..."
Chu Xiaomu was stunned. Xiaoxuan's words actually implied that she was entrusting Xiaoying to him. He was at a loss. His face turned red and he stammered, "Sister... Sister Xiaoxuan, I will... I will definitely follow the general in the future. If the Western Righteous Army can hold on, it will be fine. If they can't, I'm afraid... I'm afraid... at least they will have to flee for their lives. This East Continent is not peaceful at all. After you meet the general, it's better for you to go back to Baihua Island..." Fortunately, it was dark and Xiaoxuan should not have seen his embarrassment.
Xiaoxuan sighed and said, "The Mingyuan Ding appeared on Baihua Island, and even my sister was unaware of it. Now that things have become so serious, we...we..." She didn't say anything else.
Chu Xiaomu heard her tone and it seemed that she didn't want to go back to Baihua Island because of the matter of Mingyuan Ding, so he asked: "Are you still staying here? Then...what about Sister Hua and the others?"
Xiaoxuan shook her head and said, "Let's talk about these things later." She bent down and squatted beside Xiaoying, stroked her forehead and cheeks, and said, "Xiaoying is sometimes very stubborn. Once she wants to do something, no matter how much you persuade her, she won't change her mind. It was the same when we went to Cangmu Country this time. If she hadn't been clamoring to come to you, we would never have come back. So, you must give in to her in the future..."
Chu Xiaomu was touched. He didn't expect that Xiaoxuan and Xiaoying's main purpose of coming to the East Continent was not to deliver a letter to General Bi Ye, but to find him.
He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xiaoxuan, as long as I am here, no one can bully her anymore."
Xiaoxuan asked some more questions about the direction and distance to the Western Righteous Army in Bicheng, as well as the general situation of the Western Righteous Army, and didn't say anything more.
The next morning, Chu Xiaomu bought some food and ate with everyone on the boat.
During the meal, Chu Xiaomu told others that they were going to join the Western Volunteer Army in Bicheng soon.
Bai Shantang and others said they wanted to go together so that they could take care of each other on the way.
Chu Xiaomu said that firstly the journey was too long and it would take a lot of time for so many people to travel together, and secondly the war was raging in the area where the Western Yi Army was located and it would not be safe for many people to go, so it was better not for everyone to go.
Yang Dou's father Yang Hai said, "No, no, I must go. That brat ran away without a word, causing great anxiety to his family. His mother even fell seriously ill because of the worry. I must find that brat and break his leg!"
Chu Xiaomu said, "Uncle Yang, if you want to hit me, just hit me. This is all my fault."
Yang Hai said angrily: "His legs are on his own body, and you didn't force him onto the boat. Why should I blame you?!" However, he knew that his son had been with Xiaomu since he was a child, and eight out of ten of their sentences were answered by Xiaomu.
Bai Shantang advised, "Hai Lao San, don't be angry with Xiao Dou anymore. This is a blessing in disguise. Didn't Xiao Mu say that Xiao Dou is very capable now? Yesterday, the Mo family wanted to bully us. We all saw Xiao Mu's ability. I think Xiao Dou is not much worse."
Chu Xiaomu said hurriedly: "Xiao Dou's ability is much better than mine. Uncle Yang, I will definitely bring him to see you after I arrive at the Western Yi Army. You don't need to run around and tire yourself out."
Yang Hai's anger turned into joy, but he still said: "Next time I see this brat, I will definitely break his legs!"
No one had any objection to Xiaoxuan and Xiaoying going to the Bicheng West Volunteer Army. They all knew that these two beautiful girls came from the top of Baihua Mountain, and they were very capable. Following Chu Xiaomu would not cause him any trouble, but would help him instead.
The plan was decided, so Xiaoxuan and Xiaoying packed up and prepared to leave.
Chu Xiaomu stood in the narrow cabin and watched everyone jostling for position. Suddenly, something moved in his mind, and he said, "Uncle Bai, Uncle Chu, please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon." With that, he smiled mysteriously and pulled Xiaoying out of the cabin.
Xiaoying asked: "Brother Xiaomu, where are we going?"
Chu Xiaomu couldn't stop feeling happy and said, "You'll know when you get there."
After walking for a while, they arrived at the house where the two of them hugged and played yesterday. The door of the house was still locked, but inside the high walls one could still see the pink peach blossoms and green willows, a scene of spring.
Xiaoying recalled the scene of the two of them hugging and kissing each other in there yesterday, and her face turned red. She said angrily: "You wild boy, you stinky block! You...you still want..."
More than four years ago, she knew nothing about the relationship between men and women, and even lived in Chu Xiaomu's house for nearly a month, which caused a lot of gossip in the South Village of Baihua Island. After returning to Baihua Peak, she was scolded by the Flower Fairy, and after patiently explaining, she gradually understood that there were differences between men and women, and even if they loved each other, they could not show it to others, and sleeping in the same room was not allowed by the secular world.
Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but blush and said, "I...I didn't mean what you thought."
"Then what do you mean?!"
"I plan to buy this house and let Fourth Uncle Bai and Seventh Uncle Chu live there temporarily."
Xiaoyuan immediately became excited and said, "Okay, okay, I like this house too."
After asking around for a while, they found out that the house was indeed for sale. The owner had moved to a street near the center of Baijun City, but the buyers thought the house was too remote, so it had never been sold.
Chu Xiaomu paid a silver coin and asked the man to call the owner over to discuss the sale of the house.
After waiting for more than half an hour, a middle-aged man in his fifties with a bulging belly finally came.
The man was riding an old horse. When he saw the buyers at the door, he hurriedly stopped his horse and got off the ground. After seeing that the buyers were a young man and a young woman, he asked in disbelief, "Are you two buying this house?"
Chu Xiaomu nodded and said, "That's right."
The middle-aged man said: "Although this house is not very big, it is not something that can be bought with just a little money."
Chu Xiaomu patted his bulging purse and said, "Don't worry, I have enough money."
The middle-aged man immediately smiled and said, "You two have a good eye. This is a good house. I spent a lot of effort to build it." Then he boasted about the house, saying that it was not only in a good location and very quiet, but also had a very good layout. There was a living room in the front and back, four main rooms, and four side rooms. It was the most fashionable style in Bai Juncheng in recent years. Moreover, the wood used to build the house was selected from the best hard persimmon wood, which was guaranteed to be insect-free for at least 50 years...
Chu Xiaomu didn't understand any of this. After hearing him talk so much, he became a little impatient and asked, "Uncle, tell me, how much do you want?"
