Near the end of February, it was a good time for flowers to bloom in spring. The farmers in Fanhua Town also began to plant seedlings in the fields.
Lin Siyao and Su Shuiche discussed the remaining one mu of land. After harvesting the vegetables, they planned to plant some cotton, corn, soybeans, sorghum, and the like.
After a few days, the winter wheat in the next mu of land would be ripe and harvested, and they would plant all of it with rice.
Su Shuiche naturally didn't have any objections.
Cotton was definitely going to be planted.
Thinking of the few pieces of cotton she used to sew for monthly letters, she had already washed them until they were hard.
And this white cotton couldn't even be bought on the streets.
As for those cloth shops that sold ready-made clothes and quilts, even if there was cotton, there was no guarantee that it was brand new.
If the cotton quilt that had already been used was still being used, even if he bought it, he wouldn't dare to use it with a peace of mind.
Who knew how dirty it was inside.
Therefore, Lin Siyao had already planned to plant cotton at the beginning of spring.
He also planned to plant half an mu of land.
If he used too much, he would sell it to the hawkers who came to buy cotton.
As for the remaining half an mu of land, Lin Siyao planted two rows of corn, one row of soybeans, one row of peanuts, one row of buckwheat … Corn and soybeans could be eaten fresh and could also be ground into flour. If there was a surplus, he would take it to the oil mill to extract oil.
Peanuts had more uses: eaten fresh, dried, made into sauce, and extracted oil.
In short, Lin Siyao chose crops that had a wide range of uses and were easy to take care of.
As for the other gaps between the ridges, he sprinkled some commonly used beans, such as red beans, green beans, black beans, and other crops that were full of vitality but didn't need to be taken care of all the time.
When the time came, he only needed to cut some branches from time to time, loosen the soil, water them, and catch insects … That would be enough.
In fact, he didn't want to leave Shuiche's sight for too long.
Moreover, in a few months, when the three wolf pups' physical strength was enough to support them to go into the mountains, she would definitely take them back to Dashi Mountain with the wolf king.
Therefore, he was not at ease with only Xiaochun guarding the house.
A while ago, he noticed a few rascals wandering around his house. Although they didn't do anything harmful to his family, it was enough for him to worry about Shuiche's safety.
What kind of person would have designs on his family?
Envious of his own villagers?
A spy sent by Fengyao Pavilion?
He immediately denied these two speculations.
It wasn't like the villagers had just found out about their family's situation. If they had any ideas, they wouldn't have waited until now.
Furthermore, with the skills of the farmers and craftsmen in the village, they wouldn't have the guts to touch his family's property.
As for the Fengyao Pavilion, Lin Siyao secretly shook his head and rejected the idea. With Feng Qingya's ruthless and decisive style, if he knew that Lin Siyao was still alive, he definitely wouldn't send a few weaklings to test him.
Three days later, there was no need for Lin Siyao to make any more guesses. Those sneaky three-legged cats walked right into the trap.
"Wind and Thunder Gang?
What's that? "
Lin Siyao raised his sword-like eyebrows and asked in a deep voice to the three big men in front of him. They were holding their dislocated arms and holding their broken calves, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves.
"That … that's not a thing. Bah bah bah … of course it's a thing … Ouch … Brother Zhao, why did you kick me!" One of the big men was the first to shout.
"What do you mean by 'thing'? Be careful that the boss doesn't cut you!
Great … Great Hero, the Wind and Thunder Gang … is the biggest gang in Fanluo City.
Don't tell me you haven't heard of it? "The big man, who seemed to have more authority among the three, nodded and bowed to Lin Siyao as he explained.
"That's right. Our Wind and Thunder Gang has been at the top of Fanluo City for five to six years.
How can I not have heard of it! "The last big man was also a straightforward person.
"Great Hero, it's all our fault … It's that damned woman's fault for not making it clear … Well … Don't worry, we'll go back now. We won't … won't come here to cause trouble.
Really.
I swear.
Well, can you let us go now? "The big man with the authority to speak seemed to be pleading and promising Lin Siyao at the same time.
"Who's that damned woman?" Lin Siyao's calm voice revealed a hint of killing intent.
The three of them couldn't help but shudder.
The three of them looked at each other and exchanged glances. The big man with the authority to speak again stammered, "That woman … seems … seems to be the eldest daughter of the Lu family in the city."
"Why did I ask you to come here?"
Lin Siyao clenched his fists. His deep and unfathomable eyes flashed with coldness.
"That … Great Hero, please spare us … Spare us … We were only following the boss's instructions to kidnap that woman … Uh … As for what we're going to do with her, it's none of our business." The three big men looked at each other in fear. They could see the fear in each other's eyes.
Oh my God, just who is this man in front of me?
He's more than sixty years stronger than our boss.
With just a flick of his finger, the three of them had their arms and legs broken, and their injuries were severe.
If the three of them were to receive another palm strike, wouldn't they die and meet the King of Hell?!
Lin Siyao stared at the three of them. His hands were clenched tightly at his sides. His deep and unfathomable eyes flashed with a hint of cold anger.
Lu Wan 'er!
Not only did she disturb him time and time again, she even found a gang to kidnap Shuiche.
This move was like exposing his reverse scale.
Very good!
He, Lin Siyao, didn't kill women, but that didn't mean he wouldn't teach them a lesson!
"Go back and tell your boss that if he dares to cause trouble in Blossom Town again, I'll flatten the Wind and Thunder Gang." He stared at the three of them until they were sweating profusely.
He turned around and floated several feet away.
He really had the ability to flatten the Wind and Thunder Gang!
Seeing Lin Siyao disappear in front of their eyes, the three of them trembled and wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads.
They supported each other and walked out of the foot of Xiufeng Peak. They were just picked up by Lin Siyao and thrown here for questioning. They stumbled toward Fanluo City. They had to report to their boss as soon as possible.
…
In an old mansion on the west side of Fanluo City.
There was a flat door hanging above the gate, on which three large black characters of "Wind and Thunder Gang" were written.
This was the headquarters of the Wind and Thunder Gang, which was said to be the biggest street gang in Fanluo City.
"Pa!"
"How dare you!"
With the sound of a teacup being crushed, the current boss of the Wind and Thunder Gang, Hua Yu 'er, who was in his early forties and had a beard and thick eyebrows, slammed the table and scolded his three subordinates who were kneeling in fear and dismay, "Didn't I tell you to go and find out the situation?
Who told you to act without permission?! "
"Bo … Boss, didn't you tell us to act according to the situation?" One of them boldly retorted, "That woman is not that strong …"
"How dare you talk back!
Fine, fine, fine. Don't go out anymore. Just stay in the kitchen and help me.
Don't make a fool of yourself! "
Hua Yu 'er rolled his eyes in exasperation and waved his hand at the three useless guys, motioning them to get out.
"Boss, Ah Zhao and the others were just being nice. We thought we could get the money after we kidnapped the woman. Who knew there would be such a strong martial artist?
How can we surpass the heavens? "Xiao Si, who was beside Hua Yu 'er, hurriedly comforted his agitated boss.
Even if someone pointed at his nose and told him to flatten his territory, he would not be happy.
Thinking about it, his boss could be considered a magnanimous gang leader.
If it were the bald boss of the Iron Horse Gang, he would have already led his brothers to flatten the Flower Town.
Oh, of course, it had something to do with his 70-year-old mother.
Life was more important than dignity, right?
"Kindness?
What's the use of kindness!
A bunch of brainless idiots.
I think they must have taken a fancy to her beauty and wanted to make the first move.
Humph!
A bunch of stubborn bastards who don't listen! "Hua Yu 'er angrily scolded again.
The reason why he agreed to Miss Lu's request was none other than the 50 taels of silver she promised him.
Although it conflicted with the gang's rules — not touching women and children.
But that was … fifty taels of silver. It was enough for his brothers to live a peaceful life for three to five years.
But … Alas … Who knew he would offend a man who could break Ah Zhao and the others' wrists and legs with a snap of his fingers.
What should he do?
If he rejected the request, the fifty taels of silver … would be out of his reach.
But he had no choice but to reject it.
The other side had already said such harsh words.
If he still went to the Flower Town to make trouble for that woman, it would be nothing more than pushing the Wind and Thunder Gang that he had built with his own hands and worked so hard for so many years into the fire pit — that would be walking right into a trap!
Although most of the brothers in the gang were orphans, he still had an old mother to support.
So …
"Xiao Si, send a message to Miss Lu. Tell her that we won't accept the request.
Tell her to come and get the deposit. "Hua Yu 'er thought about it again and again and decided to be a wise person who understood the current situation.
She felt sorry for the deposit that she had just received and now she had to give it back.
"Boss?
Oh, oh, oh, okay. Xiao Si will go now. "
Xiao Si ran out of the meeting room like a wisp of smoke.
It was easy to send a message. He just needed to lie on the wall and send a message to the maid of the Lu Family.
But how could his boss let go of the fifty taels of silver?
Everyone in the Wind and Thunder Gang knew that their boss loved shining silver the most.
But then again, who didn't love silver?!
Xiao Si, who was only in his early twenties but was very clever, scratched his head and went out of the gate of the Wind and Thunder Gang. He went to the Lu Family, which was the richest family in Fanluo City.
… …
"Ah Yao, those people just now …" Su Shuiche looked down and saw Lin Siyao applying a cooling ointment on her bleeding wrist. She couldn't help but ask the question in her heart.
"They … found the wrong person." He suppressed the anger in his heart and comforted her in a hoarse voice.
"Oh."
Su Shuiche nodded, but then she was a little worried. "I don't know who they are looking for. They don't seem to have good intentions." If Lin Siyao had come a little later, she might have been kidnapped by them.
She couldn't have been kidnapped to be a guest, could she?!
But if they had found the wrong person, which family's daughter or sister-in-law were they looking for?
"Don't worry. They found the wrong village.
They have already left Fanhua City. "
Lin Siyao carried her and laid her down on the bed. Su Shuiyao, who had been frightened and had suffered physical pain, fell into a deep sleep under his gentle comforting.
When night fell, a masked man in black silently floated out of Fanhua City like a ghost. He sped all the way to the Lu Family in the city …
